I'm not a supporting character in Pokemon

The fifth day of sailing.

The temperature plummets, even if summer arrives, it will drop below freezing once the sun is not covered by clouds.

Even though the Blazing Roaring Tiger is not afraid of low temperatures, he is too lazy to mix with the moisture brought by the cold sea breeze. He would rather stay in a room with air conditioning and a dehumidifier to play games with Metagross, or teach the Shield Sword Monster and Paper Playing chess with a sword.

The same goes for most other Pokémon.

But the Koga Ninja Frog is different. It doesn't matter whether it's warm or not. It really can't tolerate an overly dry environment, so the colder it makes its scalp numb, the more this guy wants to go swimming in the sea.

It wasn't enough to swim by myself, so I wanted to drag Li Xiang down too. For this reason, he would often see a pair of swimming trunks on the bed, and sometimes Little Nebula would pick them up and play with them. His curious demeanor of being ignorant of the world gave him quite a headache.

Are they here for vacation?

It's a good thing that the boat didn't stop a few times, otherwise we wouldn't see this guy every day.

Occasionally, Li Xiang can also get some strange "seafood" from the Koga Ninja Frog, most of which are handed over to the cat boss - this guy is now a frequent visitor to the ship's kitchen and is warmly welcomed by all the cooks.

Today's seafood was a big-tongued clam that was about the same size as his upper body. The Koga Ninja grabbed this guy's "tongue" and dragged it into the aisle, and also used his tongue to close the outermost pressure door.

However, Li Xiang didn't even open the door for this guy. Maoyan saw it and directly shouted to him to crawl as far as he could.

"Knock!"

The Koga Ninja kept knocking, but there was no sound inside, and there was silence.

It had no choice but to move the clam away and throw it into the sea. It couldn't be sent to the kitchen like before, right?

inside the room.

"Ah~"

Li Xiang yawned. It had just rained and snowed outside. He basically didn't think about sports in large venues. He couldn't even smell the sunshine after washing the clothes, so he had to throw them into the dryer.

"Ouch?"

"Yeah, it's so boring. The so-called fighting venue is so small, it's not big enough for you."

He responded to Lucario's question. There was a fighting venue on the ship for the crew's recreation. But neither the size nor the strength could withstand the torment of these animals, so I never went there even once.

Fortunately, there is internet on the ship, so I can always pass some time by playing with my mobile phone and the provided laptop, accompanied by Latios and Latias.

But it should not be far from the North Pole, and we may reach our destination in one or two days.

…

Just as he thought.

On the seventh day of sailing, the sun was shining brightly and the dark clouds were gone, and fragments of ice floes of different sizes appeared in front of them.

In the distance, several roaring whale kings showed their huge bodies. They were either basking in the sun or getting some air. When they saw the scientific research ship approaching, they sprayed water jets. God knows whether it was a provocation or a greeting.

Li Xiang, who was lying on the railing, was busy taking pictures of them.

Pokémon like the Howler King are quite rare in inland and coastal areas, but there are some in Kirishima. Unfortunately, he has only seen them once or twice, and they were all alone, not in groups like now.

But soon, he no longer wanted to take pictures, because the boat was surrounded by swarms of stinging jellyfish and agate jellyfish. No, they were forced to drive into a place full of stinging jellyfish.

Then the stinging jellyfish surrounded us very naturally, not afraid of the impact of the scientific research ship's movement.

"There are also three rogues of the sea in the Arctic?" Li Xiang looked at the large and small stinging jellyfish in surprise.

The actor came to his side and said: "Of course, there are more water Pokémon in the world. After all, the ocean occupies more than 60% of the area of ​​​​this planet, and aquatic Pokémon have a vast enough paradise. .”

sixty? Not seventy?

He was startled for a moment, and then realized that the North Pole in this world was not basically composed of glaciers like in his previous life. There is a certain amount of land in the Arctic here, like in Antarctica.

——It must have been made by Groudon.

Recalling this guy's special habit of being extremely angry when he wakes up inside the planet for twenty years, wouldn't it be easy to get some land for the North Pole?

Sure enough, it is more reliable for a Pokémon like this to sleep for a long time.

Li Xiang threw the pot to Groudon inexplicably, and watched the rangers running back and forth on the deck with emotion on his face.

Facing the notorious three gangsters of the sea, humans are no longer as passive as they used to be.

Generally speaking, with the advancement of science and technology, humans have more ways to expel them, but the problem is that the rangers don't use them. These guys believe that there may be some special reasons why Megalodon and other Pokémon block the ship.

For example, asking for help, begging for food, warning, etc.

The rangers did indeed rely on this habit to successfully detect several climatic anomalies and conduct early control of natural disasters. Therefore, they are even more reluctant to drive these Pokémon away directly.

Li Xiang looked at the busy rangers and felt he had nowhere to vomit.

Shouldn't we be racing against time to get to the North Pole? Why are we getting involved with a group of stinging jellyfish?

All right.

He also understood the ranger's persistence, so in order to get out of the "difficulty" as soon as possible, he immediately ran to the front to see if there was anyone he could help.

As soon as they arrived, the stinging jellyfish dispersed, making way for the research ship to open a bright road.

"Oh! You're here too!"

Zhong Hai climbed up the rope ladder. Judging from his expression, he shouldn't have encountered any trouble.

Li Xiang asked, "Uncle Zhong, what's going on with these guys?"

"A group of old friends, well, old friends with bad habits." Zhong Hai nodded.

Most ocean gangsters besiege ships for food - they can't demolish your ship without any grudges, unless you have done something egregious on someone else's territory.

This group of stinging jellyfish is no exception. At best, they are begging for food, at worst, they are robbing. "I opened this road and planted this tree." If you don't give them enough food, don't even think about leaving.

It doesn't matter if there are only one or two waves, but there are so many Pokémon in the sea. Once you hear someone offering food, they will spread the word and soon more wild Pokémon will come to ask for food.

So boat operators don’t like these guys.

Fortunately, Zhong Hai has wild Pokémon friends all over the place. Perhaps he had communicated with a certain stinging jellyfish using a hunting cursor when he was young, or maybe he encountered them just two years ago when he had to spend the winter in the Arctic.

Anyway, there will be no more wild Pokémon blocking the road in the next channel. Even the torpedo-like Megalodons no longer cause trouble, and at most they follow behind for a while.

Li Xiang was itching to see it. He had always felt that the Megalodon was very interesting to him. When he was playing Sun and Moon, he saw the Megalodon transform into a riding Pokémon, and he even rode it many times excitedly.

However, there are no Megalodon rides on the archipelago in this world, or simply no Pokémon rides, which is really disappointing.

"They are now escorting bodyguards. 』

Latias pointed at the megalodons and said with a smile.

Li Xiang: "Bodyguard?"

"Yes, this sea area is full of dragons and snakes. Just now, there was a broken steering wheel that tried to dig into the bottom of our ship, but it was driven away. 』Latias said something that shocked him.

"Why is it gouging the bottom of our ship?"

"Why? Of course it's because it's old enough to reproduce. As long as it gets an anchor, won't it be able to reproduce another one? 』

"But... okay, I don't understand."

Li Xiang rubbed his face. Ever since Iron Dumbbell relied on splitting to give birth to babies, he should have understood that genderless Pokémon are always particularly magical.

As for what the seaweed wrapped around the broken steering wheel and what it was called before humans invented the anchor, he couldn't figure it out.

Turning back to the room, he specifically found Metagross and asked it, "Do you want to have cubs?"

"No da, no da?"

Metagross was playing a game. When he heard these words, he dropped his controller and turned to look at Li Xiang in disbelief.

The Pokémon around him also looked shocked, and the chess piece in the Shield Sword Monster's hand clicked with a crack.

"Yes, do you want to have a baby now?" Li Xiang knocked on Metagross' head.

Metagross was inexplicably shy. He glanced at him and then at his partner, not knowing what to say.

Facing Li Xiang's scrutinizing gaze, it shook its head. What kind of cubs would be born during the rising period of "career"? Brother Afu is so popular, isn't he still just a cub?

Unexpectedly, the trainer looked at it with great disappointment, "Don't you want to give birth? Yes, you may not be old enough, and I don't know whether you will give birth to an iron dumbbell or a Metagross..."

Metagross listened to him talking here and felt so frightened that his scalp was numb. What a good tone for a wife like you - Tie Hanhan has never taken a menstrual hygiene class, how would he know that he doesn't need to give birth to a baby?" Wife".

It is strange that it insists on being male-biased. It can only be said that it has been with a male trainer for a long time.

Li wanted to look away and glanced at the other Pokémon, but no one dared to touch his eyes, as if they would get into trouble if they looked at him.

What do you mean, these guys?

He suddenly felt like he was talking to a bunch of cows, so he looked at the Koga Ninja who must understand him.

——Not here.

"Where did you go again?"

Li wanted to run to catch Koga Ninja, but when they saw him leaving the room, the other Pokémon were relieved.

Although I don’t know what the trainer is doing, this guy usually doesn’t want to do anything good, and there is no lower limit.

Latias and Latios outside the door looked curious and didn't quite understand why Li Xiangjia's Pokémon looked like they were surviving a disaster.

…

Since entering the Arctic Circle, the speed of the research ship has slowed down a lot.

On the one hand, it is to avoid various ice floes, on the other hand, it is also afraid of hitting various wild Pokémon.

There are a lot of wild Pokémon in the outer reaches of the Arctic Circle, especially since the Arctic will no longer be able to stay in a few months, so a large number of wild Pokémon living in the deep areas have migrated out.

Li Xiang lay on the railing and saw many ice rock monsters carrying ice treasures to make way for the research ship. This kind of Pokémon is called an ice aircraft carrier because it is ridiculously heavy, but it has extremely high swimming talent.

In addition to them, there were also a lot of white sea lions on the iceberg, all of them lazily and occasionally patting their bellies, which made him want to go up and pat them twice.

"I'm really curious now if there are Regices in the Arctic. They should be particularly fond of this kind of place, right?"

Li Xiang took pictures and said to Latias who was eager to try.

This little girl is particularly interested in cameras. She has been pestering him to take various photos since yesterday, and today she even wants to take two photos by herself.

"Well...I'll give you a camera when I get back."

He handed over the camera.

Latias looked at him with bright eyes and an "are you serious?" expression.

Next to him, Latios turned his head, not wanting to see his sister in distress. If someone else had said these words, it would definitely pull her away, but the light holder was different.

So it fell on deaf ears.

As for Li Xiang's question just now... Latios felt that it was not easy to answer. Unless under special circumstances, Latios did not want to reveal someone's "home address" casually.

Fortunately, someone just asked casually and quickly focused his attention elsewhere.

For example, there is a large snow-white continent on the horizon.

"Fixed ice! Fixed ice! It's about to hit. Everyone on the deck should pay attention!"

Someone opened his mouth and shouted.

Subsequently.

Under Li Xiang's watchful eyes, the research ship crashed into the thick ice.

Boom!

The hull began to tremble violently, and a large ice floe turned into countless small pieces. The feedback shock made him almost lose his balance, and Latias and Latios were also startled.

“Digging trenches actually breaks the ice.”

He took back the camera from Latias, called for the steel-armored crow, and flew directly into the sky. Looking down from the air, he felt up close that a 10,000-ton ship was like a blade, constantly crushing the heavy weight with its terrifying weight. of ice, opening up a new path.

Click, click, click...

The sound of shattering continued to spread into the sky from that pure white country.

The shock was really shocking, and it was hard enough to watch. I was afraid that a big hole would break out of the hull of the ship.

Fortunately, this kind of large ship, which is specially used to split roads, is quite durable. Even when it penetrates deep into the ice and snow, there are no potholes on the outside. At most, some paint is rubbed off.

Li Xiang and Steel Armored Crow landed next to Zhong Hai, who had just walked out.

"Is there no other stopping point? Or do we have to come here every time?"

"Of course not. Just to save time, this place is closest to the destination and will not affect any Pokémon. If you want to log in smoothly, you have to go far away."

Zhong Hai shook his head and took out the compass to determine the direction. "Our destination today is a base 20 kilometers away in the northeast. After delivering all the supplies and items there, we can officially set off."

The Arctic Circle does not belong to any one region, and the climate is harsh, so many regions only have scientific research stations here.

The Rangers Alliance may be the only non-regional organization that has established a large base in the Arctic, or even more than one, evenly distributed at four points centered on the Arctic Circle.

Li thought the one they were about to go to was one of them.

"Arctic...the Arctic Ocean is gone and will never come back."

He looked at the map again, thinking that Greenland in his previous life was actually a no-man's land?

Is the Wind of Disappointment so powerful that it scares the local residents into losing their land? Or is it that the highly migratory Pokémon have taken over the islands and the largest Greenland?

There may be reasons.

At least, I'm already here.

Li wanted to hold the two Genetic Wedges on his chest. He didn't know if it was an illusion. He felt that Kyurem knew that he had arrived, and the Genetic Wedges were slowly heating up.

Yes. I am coming.

I'm here.

He looked at the white sky and the earth, and his thoughts spread out.
