Chapter 21, Viridian Forest

The next day, Hideyoshi left the Pokémon Center early in the morning and prepared to go to Viridian Forest.Hideyoshi planned to stay in the Viridian Forest for a few more days to see if he could meet his favorite Pokémon and do some training by the way.

The Joban Forest is very vast, not only covering the entire Kanto region, but also covering parts of Chengdu, because the Joban Forest is formed based on the Baiyin Mountains.

The Baiyin Mountain is the largest mountain range in the entire Kanto region, lying between the two regions.It was because of the Silver Mountains that the Alliance divided the Kanto region into two halves based on the Silver Mountains, forming the current two regions of Kanto and Chengdu.

In addition, it is said that every ten years, the Viridian Forest will grant special abilities to those born in the Viridian Forest, and this ability is the Power of Viridian.The power of Viridian can sense the mood of Pokémon and heal injured Pokémon.

Therefore, the Viridian Forest is a sacrosanct area in both regions. The alliance also has dedicated personnel patrolling the Viridian Forest from time to time to prevent evil organizations from destroying the Viridian Forest.

The Joban Forest located above Joban City is only a small piece of Joban Forest. After passing through this small piece of forest, you will reach the next city, Nibi City.

Due to its special nature, Viridian Forest is full of towering trees, so it is also a paradise for grass, insect and flying Pokémon.

There are towering trees everywhere here, making the entire forest dark, and there are various bushes among the trees, forming a natural maze that can easily make trainers lose their way.Preparing a compass in advance is a prerequisite for entering the Joban Forest, because every year many trainers who go to the Joban Forest for adventure lose contact.

However, this is no problem for Hideyoshi. The power of waveguide is the best pathfinding artifact.

After entering Viridian Forest, Hideyoshi discovered that there were many insect-type Pokémon lying on many trees. Green caterpillars and horned bugs were almost everywhere, as well as Pidgeot and Spearow flying overhead from time to time.

Hideyoshi was walking aimlessly in the Joban Forest, planning to find a slightly open place to camp.Hideyoshi walked in the dark forest. Although he was not afraid, he still felt a bit depressed.

A bright light appeared in front of Hideyoshi's eyes, and at the same time, the sound of water flowing in his ears came. Hideyoshi immediately realized that there must be an open area in front of him, otherwise the sunlight would not shine in.

There is also the sound of water flowing, so it is very convenient to get water.Hideyoshi's face showed his first smile after entering the forest, and he strode towards the light in front.

After Hideyoshi walked in, he suddenly became enlightened!All you can see is a large open space, with a not-so-wide river flowing gently next to it.The river water is crystal clear, and you can see Pokémon swimming around in it, including a group of horned goldfish. On the other side of the river bank, there is a Slowpoke stretching its tail into the water to fish.

There is a large stone wall in front of the flat ground, but this stone wall is covered with scratches, crisscrossing them. These cracks have changed the originally smooth stone wall beyond recognition.

Hideyoshi is still a little curious. This place is already deep in the Viridian Forest, and few people come here.The scratches on the stone wall were obviously man-made and not long ago.

Hideyoshi shook his head and ignored these things. He turned around and put down his backpack, preparing to go to the river to wash his hands and face before setting up a tent.

At this moment, a loud shout came from behind Hideyoshi, "Cha!" At the same time, there was the harsh sound of blades rubbing against each other.Hideyoshi turned around and looked back. A flying mantis was glaring at Hideyoshi, and the sickle on the flying mantis' arm was being sharpened!

The skeleton of this flying mantis seems to be slightly larger than that of ordinary flying mantises, and the momentum of this flying mantis is amazing.Coupled with a scar on its left eye, this flying mantis looks even more fierce.

Hideyoshi looked at the angry flying mantis in front of him and realized that this open space should be the territory of this flying mantis. He had intruded into his territory, so he was so angry.

But Hideyoshi didn't plan to leave just like that, because Hideyoshi decided to tame this Pokémon when he saw the flying mantis for the first time. After all, after meeting such a handsome and powerful Pokémon, it would be unreasonable not to tame one.

Hideyoshi also took a stance, reached out from his waist and took out Lucario's Pokmon Ball, preparing for a quick battle.If it were Gotha Duck, he would win, but it would definitely not be as easy as Lucario.

There was a flash of white light, and Lucario appeared in the clearing.

After Lucario appeared, Flying Mantis immediately tensed up and assumed a fighting posture. It seemed that Flying Mantis' intuition told it that Lucario was a very strong Pokémon.

"Lucario, wave missile!" Hideyoshi took the lead in giving the order to Lucario.

Flying Mantis saw Lucario launching the wave missile towards him in an instant, and also counterattacked, using his shadow clone.

A circle of flying mantises appeared on the field. Not surprisingly, the wave missile did not hit the opponent.

Hideyoshi was not surprised at all, and immediately issued the order: "Lucario, mind's eye!"

Lucario closed his eyes, and soon a heart-shaped eye appeared from Lucario's head, floating towards the Flying Mantis, past the clones, and directly hit the Flying Mantis itself.

After the Flying Mantis was hit, he shook his head and didn't feel anything strange. He directly used the lightning flash trick and rushed towards Lucario quickly.

"Lucario, flying knee kick!" Hideyoshi looked at the flying mantis rushing over and gave Lucario the order calmly.

Lucario bent his right leg, his knee glowing red. He ignored the clones of the Flying Mantis and rushed directly towards the Flying Mantis that had just been identified by his mind's eye.

With a "bang", the Flying Mantis was kicked out, and its clones dissipated instantly.

But Hideyoshi obviously didn't give it a chance to breathe, and said directly: "Lucario, flame kick!"

Lucario jumped up immediately, with his right leg blazing with flames, and kicked towards the flying mantis who was still on the ground.The flame kick also directly hit the flying mantis and kicked it to the ground.

Hideyoshi also directly took out an empty Pokmon Ball and threw it towards the Flying Mantis. The Pokmon Ball hit the Flying Mantis on the ground, and the Flying Mantis directly turned into a beam of red light and was put into the Pokmon Ball.

The Pokmon Ball fell to the ground, shaking constantly, and the switch was flashing red.

With a "thud" sound, the red light on the Pokmon Ball disappeared and it stopped shaking.Hideyoshi then walked over and happily picked up the Pokmon Ball.
