Pokémon: The Journey of Ordinary People

When he stepped onto Liugan Island, Zhang Yu felt a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. He found that the style of this island was completely different from that of Little Orange Island.

The Little Orange Island is filled with a tense and exciting atmosphere of battle, while the Durian Island exudes a leisurely and peaceful atmosphere.

Located in the north of the Orange Islands, Dugan Island attracts many tourists with its unique geographical location and beautiful natural scenery. The island is known as a resort with luxurious resorts and first-class service facilities.

However, Zhang Yu did not go to experience the island, but went straight to the Pokémon Center.

Miss Joy was still at the reception desk.

"Ms. Joy, do you know a trainer named A Zheng?" Zhang Yu said, taking out the Poké Ball given by the Coconut Tree.

Joey thought for a moment and replied

"Are you talking about Ah Zheng, the one whose hair turned white at a young age? If so, you can go to the beach to find him. He often stays in a daze there."

After Zhang Yu thanked him, he went to the beach.

However, Liugan Island is worthy of being called a holiday resort. People on the road are walking slowly, and a few cats are lying on the roadside basking in the sun. It is full of relaxation.

"When I get older, it will be nice to live here in my old age."

Zhang Yu came to the beach while thinking. There was also a large sandy beach here, and many tourists were playing here.

However, when Zhang Yu looked around, he did not see anyone who fit the image of A Zheng.

Walking along the beach, Zhang Yu finally found a figure sitting on a reef, staring at the sea in a daze.

Zhang Yu looked at the other person: his black hair was mixed with white hair, his eyes were a little empty, he looked very young, but he exuded a decadent aura.

This should be A Zheng, right?

Zhang Yu walked forward and asked softly, "Hello, are you Ah Zheng?"

Hearing someone calling him, Ah Zheng slowly turned his head.

"What is wrong with me?"

Hearing that he was really A Zheng, Zhang Yu was a little excited and quickly took out the Poké Ball.

"Ah Zheng, is this your Poké Ball? The Poké Ball of the Coconut Tree!"

As soon as Zhang Yu finished speaking, Ah Zheng came down from the reef in an instant and almost fell, and snatched the Poké Ball from his hand.

"That's it, that's it!"

At this time, A Zheng also realized his own gaffe.

He said to Zhang Yu apologetically, "Excuse me, I got a little excited. What's your name? Where did you get this Poké Ball?"

Zhang Yu expressed his understanding and explained the situation to A Zheng.

"The coconut tree...it turns out...you are still waiting for me there..."

As Ah Zheng spoke, he began to sob.

After calming down for a while, A Zheng seemed to be in much better spirits.

"Ayu, right? Thank you so much! I have been looking for the coconut tree for a long time and was about to give up. Finally..."

However, Zhang Yu was a little curious. The Onion Duck Island was right next to the Little Orange Island, so why couldn't he find the coconut tree?

Ah Zheng sighed and slowly explained the reason to Zhang Yu.

It turned out that on that day, when Ah Zheng and Uncle Yong were escaping from the island, the wind and waves were too strong and the boat hit a reef, and the two fell into the sea. Although they finally got on the boat, Uncle Yong was attacked by the poisonous needle of the chaotic agate jellyfish in the sea in order to protect Ah Zheng. There was no antidote on the boat, so they could only bandage to prevent the spread of the poison.

When the two of them drove the damaged boat to the nearest Little Orange Island, Uncle Yong finally died.

A Zheng's parents are long gone, and Uncle A Yong is his only relative.

In order to survive, A Zheng, who was only 15 years old, worked everywhere. Although he had help from welfare agencies, he still lived a difficult life.

The pain of losing his loved ones and the pressure of life made it impossible for him to look for the coconut tree.

During a dock unloading, a Pokémon came from nowhere. At this time, a box of fruit weighing dozens of kilograms slipped off the conveyor belt. In order to save the Pokémon, Zheng's ankle was hit. He had no money for treatment at the time, and now he still walks with a limp.

However, in order to thank A Zheng for saving his life, the tadpole kept following him.

Thanks to the company of the mosquito coil tadpole, A Zheng slowly came out of his pain. Two years later, A Zheng, who had gained certain abilities, began his journey to find the coconut tree.

He searched for eight years, until the mosquito tadpoles evolved into mosquito frogs. He also visited the Isle of Onion Duck several times, but still couldn't find it. However, because of the storms that began to appear around the Isle of Onion Duck in the past two years, Zheng didn't go there again.

This makes sense. The coconut tree hid in the depths of the forest because of the special changes that occurred on the island. It has not come out for a long time. It was not until the past two years that it began to contact the outside world. It just happened to miss Ah Zheng. Sometimes fate is just a coincidence.

"Anyway, thank you very much, Ayu, for bringing me such good news. I came to Liugan Island this time because I wanted to relax before going to Kanto."

"I was originally planning to leave at the end of the month, but now that I have news about the coconut tree, I decided to go to Onion Duck Island first, and then go to Kanto after I find the coconut tree." Ah Zheng had a new goal, and the decadent atmosphere was swept away.

"By the way, Ayu, come with me!" A Zheng walked along the beach with awkward steps.

Zhang Yu was about to say something, but A Zheng said he was fine.

After walking for about 5 minutes, A Zheng came to a small wooden house by the sea, opened the door and walked in.

Seeing this, Zhang Yu followed in.

Ah Zheng searched the house for a while and took out a small wooden box.

"Ayu, thank you so much for telling me about the coconut tree. I found this seed on another island. It contains energy, but I haven't figured out what plant it is from. But it should be a treasure. I'll give it to you as a thank you gift!" A Zheng said as he handed the wooden box to Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu took the box, opened it and saw a dark green seed lying inside, emitting a faint light.

"This... is too precious. The coconut tree also helped me. I can't accept your gift anymore." Zhang Yu said with some surprise.

This seed is obviously a good thing, but I and the coconut tree are helping each other, so there is no reason to accept A Zheng's gift.

"Take it, Ayu, this is a little gift from me, maybe it will be helpful to you." Azheng stuffed the box into Zhang Yu's hand and began to pack up to go to Onion Duck Island.

"Ayu, I'm going to leave today. I should be able to catch the ship. When you go to Guandu, you can come to Changqing City to find me. I will treat you well then."

After Zhang Yu helped A Zheng pack his things, he sent him on the last boat.

I didn't expect that I owed someone a favor again, Zhang Yu thought to himself, holding the seeds in his hand.

-

A Zheng’s matter has come to an end, but Zhang Yu is not in a hurry to go to Kanto. There are still about two months before the gorgeous competition begins, so there is no rush.

Since you are here on Liugan Island, it would be nice to experience the local customs and culture.

Zhang Yu returned to the beach. He hadn't noticed it before, but now he found a fishing area on the beach with many fishermen sitting there.

"Hello, I want to rent a fishing rod!"

Zhang Yu walked over and found a small fishing tackle shop.

The boss handed the fishing rod to Zhang Yu.

"? Why does this fish hook look like a Poké Ball?"

Zhang Yu was a little confused. What kind of fish could be caught with such a big ball?

"The fish bit!"

Suddenly an uncle next to him shouted.

"It's a big guy, someone come and help me!"

Seeing this, several fishermen and uncles immediately pulled their fishing rods together and slipped away about ten meters.

"thump--"

A fat and big carp was thrown out of the water.

"Oh, it turns out to be Pokémon fishing..." Zhang Yu smiled with relief.

I also joined the fishing enthusiastically.

The fisherman released his Pokémon Pikachu, stunned Magikarp with an electric shock, and easily captured it with a Poké Ball. He then left in a hurry, probably to show off his big catch.

call out--

The fishing rod was thrown out, and Zhang Yu sat on the bench and waited quietly.

"! Here it comes!"

Ten minutes later, Zhang Yu suddenly felt the fishing rod move, and he imitated the uncle to reel in the fish.

After a while, I felt a little relieved and shook it hard.

What came up was a ball of seaweed.

Some fishermen looked over and then looked away.

"Everyone has a first time, let's try again." I comforted myself like this.

Zhang Yu continued to swing the club.

Half an hour later——

"Here we go again, I knew it!"

"Ah? Why are they slippers?"

Zhang Yu, feeling a little angry, threw the smelly shoes aside and swung the club angrily again.

Two hours later, looking at the pile of garbage behind him, Zhang Yu couldn't hold it anymore.

"Young man, your luck is not so good." An uncle said while trying to hold back his smile.

For such a long time, I just watched this young man fishing, but he didn't catch any fish.

Zhang Yu put away the bottle of medicine he had caught and silently released the stinky flower.

"Hana?"

Zhang Yu dipped the bait into the nectar flowing from the mouth of the stinking flower and cast the rod again.

Vileflower was looking at her trainer fishing in bewilderment, when she suddenly noticed a pair of slippers next to her.

-

"Here it comes! I hope it's fish this time."

Zhang Yu was a little ptsd. After sliding for a while, he swung hard and a blue figure was thrown out of the water onto the beach.

“Ha!”

"Now! Stinky Flower, Vine Whip!"

“Hana!”

But after waiting for a while, nothing happened.

Zhang Yu quickly turned his head to look—there was a large piece of seaweed mixed on the body of the stinky flower.

“Ha!”

Suddenly, a ball of ink smeared Zhang Yu's face.

"Uwaaaaa! Damn it!"

He had seen clearly that the blue figure was a small seahorse. He had never thought that it could spray ink. Isn't this something only octopuses can do?

"Stinky Flower, use the Leaf Knife to cut the seaweed! Use the Vine Whip on the opponent!"

This time, Vile Flower finally escaped and swung its two whips to the other side.

“Ha!”

The black seahorse fired a water gun at the ground, and used the recoil force to avoid the whip.

"No? So smart?" This made Zhang Yu look stupid.

However, he immediately asked Vileflower to use a large-scale Leaf Blade to block the movement of Hippocampus.

Under the dual restraint of level and attributes, the Black Seahorse was still tied up tightly by the Vine Whip of the Stink Flower.

Zhang Yu walked over and looked at the little guy. He was probably about the same size as her shoes. But he looked pretty cute.

"Ha!" Another stream of ink sprayed over, but this time Zhang Yu had anticipated it and dodged it. He took out the illustrated guide and pointed it at it.

"Ding——Ink Seahorse, a dragon Pokémon, can move flexibly using the dorsal fin on its back and move in all directions facing forward. Once it senses danger, it will spit out ink to escape."

The illustration is still a mechanical introduction.

"Eh? Dragon Pokémon?"

This is the first time I have seen a dragon Pokémon besides Yuji's Dragonite.

However, Zhang Yu looked around and didn't find anything that looked like a dragon.

"Could it be a dragon? Never mind, let's just tame it first!"

Taking out the Poké Ball, Zhang Yu threw it at the Black Seahorse.

However, the Poké Ball flashed twice and opened again, and the capture failed.

"Young man, you are lucky. It turns out to be a very rare black sea horse."

"But I heard that Seahorse likes delicious and cute things~"

An old fishing man who was watching the game nearby reminded Zhang Yu when he saw that he failed to capture the fish.

“Something delicious and cute?”

Zhang Yu thought for a moment, took out a tree fruit dumpling from his backpack, smeared a little nectar of the stinky flower on it, and let the stinky flower eat it in an exaggerated bite in front of the black seahorse.

"Wow, it's a super delicious nectar dumpling, right, stinky flower~"

"Hana~╰(*′︶`*)╯"

The stinky flower also cooperated and acted delicious. Although it felt that its saliva had no taste, the dumplings were very delicious.

"Huh?"

The black seahorse tilted its head, somewhat curious.

"Would you like to try a bite of the black seahorse? It's super delicious~" Zhang Yu suddenly felt a little guilty.

Finally, the black seahorse couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food and took a bite.

"Ha-chi! (⊙o⊙)" (It smells so good)

Then I started eating like crazy.

Zhang Yu touched his chin thoughtfully. Is the nectar of the stinking flower so useful?

I licked it out of curiosity and it was indeed sweet, but also very smelly.

Zhang Yu quickly rinsed his mouth with water. It smelled 100 times worse than durian. It was estimated that only people with special tastes could eat it.

Seeing the black seahorse eating happily, Zhang Yu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and took out a small Catwoman doll from his backpack and placed it next to it.

When he was on Little Orange Island, he saw that Vulture liked the little dolls, so he bought a lot of them at once since they didn't take up much space anyway.

"Haha~(.??︿??。)"

Smelly Flower felt a little sad when she saw the doll her trainer gave to Hippocampus.

"Oh, I'll buy it for you next time. You're my baby too."

Noticing that Chrysanthemum was in a low mood, Zhang Yu quickly touched Chrysanthemum's head and comforted her.

“Hana!”

The simple-minded stinky flower was coaxed instantly.

Mo Haiba looked at the cute doll beside him, his eyes sparkling and he didn't even eat.

“Huh?!”

"For you, but only if you travel with me~"

Zhang Yu felt like he was trafficking underage Pokémon.

Then he shook his head and said, no, can what happened to a trainer be called trafficking?

Ink Seahorse looked at the Poké Ball, then at the doll, hesitated for a while, and finally seemed to have made up his mind and touched the Poké Ball with his body.

"Great! I have captured Seahorse!" Zhang Yu placed the doll on Seahorse's head, opened the Poké Ball and captured it.

"Congratulations, young man! I heard that its final evolution, Thornbane, is a very powerful Pokémon!"

The fishermen around were also very happy. Since Zhang Yu was able to catch the black seahorse, it meant that there must be other rare Pokémon in this sea area.

Suddenly, more people came to fish.

"The Thorn Dragon King? I'm really looking forward to it!"

Zhang Yu held the Poké Ball and whispered.

"I have one more partner now..."
