The hardcore Pokémon world can also be warm

The Gray Feather Mountains are a mountain range located on the edge of Chenghua City in the Hoenn region.

Unlike the Pokémon world that Yang Yan knew in his previous life, although it is still divided into Kanto, Kanto, Chengdu, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, etc., the size of each region exceeds the size he knew in his previous life.

In the Hoenn region where Yang Yan is located alone, there are more than 30 cities with gyms, not to mention the villages and towns without gyms, there are at least hundreds of them, and the distance between villages and towns is also relatively far. But compared with the areas occupied by wild Pokémon, their human activities are probably less than one-fifth of the area.

The Gray Feather Mountains are exactly the place that Yang Yan's father was assigned to maintain by the alliance after he became a ranger. It is also the place where Yang Yan was born.

Although as a time traveler, he came here when his main body was just eight years old and was about to go to the ranger academy.

But as he has lived here for two years, he has already known this mountain range very well.

…

At about ten o'clock in the morning, Yang Yan, who had just finished exercising with his father, was about to step into the newly awakened mountain range with a large bag of prepared snacks.

Today was the day he came to play with Butterfree as agreed, and it was also the day he was about to say goodbye to Butterfree…

“Butterfree, Butterfree, I’m here, and I brought your favorite snacks!” Yang Yan shouted loudly.

Usually, Butterfree was active in this area, so he only needed to shout a few times and Butterfree would appear.

Today was no exception. As soon as he finished speaking, Butterfree flew down from a lush tree.

“Mmm!” Butterfree showed a look of joy, and flew around Xiao Yan non-stop as soon as it came down.

Yang Yan also laughed: "Okay, Butterfree, here is the milk I prepared for you, do you want to try it?"

Putting the package in his hand upright, Butterfree slowly flew to Yang Yan's arm, stretched out his nose to smell it, and immediately a strong fragrance permeated his mouth and nose.

"Mmmmm..." Butterfree made a pleasant sound.

"Come on, Butterfree, I'll open it, let's taste this delicious food together." Yang Yan said with a smile.

"Mmmmm!"

...

Two hours later, Butterfree and Yang Yan had already finished all the snacks, and now they were walking slowly around.

There were no Pokémon around, not for any special reason, but this place was still on the outskirts of the Gray Feather Mountains. Pokémon usually live in the mountains, and most Pokémon also have their own gathering places, and they will not easily choose to come out.

Yang Yan's parents never allowed him to go into the mountains alone, so it was always Oki Yong who took him in when he was free. After all, Yang Yan was determined to become a forest ranger in the future, so Oki Yong also hoped that Yang Yan could learn more about jungles, mountains and the like.

Watching the sunlight falling through the gaps between the leaves, Yang Yan called Butterfree to his side, and his voice was a little solemn: "Butterfree, starting tomorrow, I will report to the academy, so we won't see each other for a while."

"Mmm..." Butterfree showed a lost expression, flew to Yang Yan's shoulder, and gently brushed Xiao Yan's cheek with the edge of its black and white wings.

"It's so itchy, Butterfree." Yang Yan couldn't help laughing and wiping his cheek.

Holding Butterfree in his palm, Yang Yan said softly: "Butterfree, this is not the first time we have parted, don't be so sad. Think about it, I will be back again during the Chinese New Year, right?"

"Mmm..." Butterfree still had a lost expression.

"Mmm, Mmm..."

Butterfree stretched out its cheek and rubbed it on Yang Yan's hand.

Yang Yan knew what Butterfree wanted to say and what it meant, but he couldn't, he couldn't do it...

At least he didn't have the ability now...

Butterfree was the first Pokémon that Yang Yan came into contact with after coming to this world, except for his parents' Pokémon.

At that time, it was just a green caterpillar, being chased by a group of Spearows. It was Yang Yan who accidentally discovered it and called his father to successfully rescue it.

After rescuing it, it evolved from Caterpillar to Metapod. His father told him that it might have gone to the territory of Spearow to find food to store energy for evolution, so it started evolving directly after it was safe.

This was also the first time Yang Yan saw Pokémon evolve after coming to this world.

In order for Metapod to evolve into Butterfree smoothly, he brought this Butterfree out of the grayYu Mountains, came to where he is now.

Because Metapod was inconvenient to move, Yang Yan would come to check on the situation every day, until the day before it left for the academy, Metapod successfully evolved into Butterfree.

Therefore, he only met Butterfree in a hurry and left.

When he came back from the academy half a year later, his father told him that Butterfree would come to this place to wait for him almost every day. At first, it was half a day. Later, Butterfree might also know that Yang Yan was not at home, and each time it would only wait for an hour and then return to the mountains.

When Yang Yan learned of Butterfree's behavior, he ran out directly to find it.

To be honest, he didn't expect Butterfree to keep thinking about him. This was also the first time he felt the warmth of the Pokémon world from this real world.

And his fate with Butterfree also deepened step by step from then on...

In fact, at the beginning, he told his parents that he wanted Butterfree to be his Pokémon, but his parents unanimously opposed it.

They told Yang Yan that although the cultivation time of Bug-type Pokémon is short, their peak combat power can not be maintained for long. If he chooses to cultivate Butterfree, then when Butterfree's strength begins to decline in the future, he must start to cultivate new Pokémon.

And after repeated examinations by his father, Butterfree's qualifications are just average. If it is good, maybe they will agree, but if it is just average, they can not accept it anyway.

This is an unbearable pressure for an ordinary family like them.

No matter how many times Yang Yan said it, he still got a stern rejection from his parents.

So from then on, he knew that if he wanted his parents to agree, he could only do it when he really had the ability to cultivate Butterfree.

Moreover, this time cannot be too long, because the best cultivation time of Bug-type Pokémon is short, so Yang Yan set a small goal for himself.

That is, when he graduates, he must grow to the point where he can cultivate Butterfree.

...

And Butterfree seemed to know what Yang Yan was thinking. Every time Yang Yan left, it would silently see him off from a distance, then silently return to the mountains, and then silently wait for Yang Yan to return...

Yang Yan felt relieved, but also buried a deep sense of guilt...
