[Pokémon] After defeating the Unova Alliance, I decided to travel to Hoenn

"Leo, what do you think about us taking this direction?"

"Ru~" Lucario shook his head, walked to the tree in front, and pointed at the mark on it with his paw. This mark is exactly the one left behind.

"You can't tell at all. This is actually where we started from just now. After walking for so long, we came back again."

Let Lucario carve a new mark on the tree, "Let's go, this time we choose this direction."

About an hour later, the familiar big tree appeared in front of me again. Lucario looked at me and hesitated to speak.

"Needless to say, I understand, we are back again." I threw my backpack on the ground and sat down casually. "Thank you for your hard work, Leo. Let's eat first. We'll go in another direction in the afternoon."

Everything starts from seven days ago. I said goodbye to Hezhong and arrived at Kaina City, the port of Hoenn. Remembering what I had told me before leaving, my first stop in Hoenn was Kanaz City.

Hoenn and Hezhong are very different. The interior of the continent is surrounded by mountains and forests, and the major cities are located in the coastal areas. If Unova is a region made up of a variety of cultures, Hoenn is a region made up of various landforms.

While resting at the Pokémon Center in Kaina City, I heard from the local ranger that I could take a shortcut through the forest. Some trainers would do this in order to train themselves. It would take about seven days to get there.

Then, like now, I was lost.

"Come out, everyone." I called out all the Pokémon.

Seeing that she was still in the primeval forest, Miss Quer'er broke out first. He poked me hard a few times with his hand, then pointed at the flower on his finger and stood up angrily.

"How come? Baibai, the flowers on your hair are still as beautiful as before."

After listening to my words, Miss Quer became even more angry and simply turned around, leaving only my back.

I sighed and hugged her tightly. I couldn't stand it anymore, let alone the delicate lady in the skirt. "Yes, yes, I understand. Can I take you to the Pokémon Beauty Salon after we go out?"

After hearing what I said, Miss Quer reluctantly forgave me. Shaking the flowers on her head, they exuded a healing fragrance. I also regained my energy a little under the sweet floral scent. "Thank you, Baibai."

"Okay, everyone, get ready for lunch. Hamsuke, can you please go find some firewood and come back."

"Ugh!"

For the convenience of traveling, I left the Double Ax Dragon at home and replaced it with the Sentry Rat, which has very practical skills. Whether it is the characteristic of sharp vision or the skills of strange strength + Iai Slash + flash + burrowing, they all helped me a lot during the trip, except for my timidity.

I prepared lunch with the firewood picked up by the sentinel mouse. I looked up with the prepared food. The thick leaves almost covered the entire sky, which also made it difficult for the Tanabata bluebird to fly into the air to check the situation. The tall and smooth tree trunk is difficult to climb. Is there no way out?

Fortunately, there is enough food in the backpack, so everyone will not be hungry. In the final analysis, this situation is caused by my whim. It would be better if I chose to take the main road. Thinking of this makes me even more depressed.

"Yi?"

"What's wrong, Bui, are you full?" Seeing that I hadn't eaten yet, Taiyang Yibu walked up to me, rubbed my cheek, and wrapped his slender tail around me.

"I'm fine, I'm just thinking about things. Thank you for coming to comfort me."

Sensing something strange here, everyone stopped eating and came to my side, looking at me worriedly. I can't stay depressed like this, my uneasiness will infect the Pokémon.

"Okay, everyone. There will always be a way. Let's eat first."

It was rare that he didn't obey my command. The Great Sword Demon was the first to crowd around me, followed closely by Lucario Sun Eevee, and finally Miss Skirt, Tanabata Blue Bird, and Sentry Rat also got close to me. Surrounded by fur of all kinds, I feel like my heart is filled.

"Haha, it's so itchy."

Intimate physical contact is the easiest way to eliminate the anxiety in my heart. I feel full of energy in everyone's arms.

After lunch, I chose another direction and started moving forward. The climate in the forest changes rapidly. Just like at noon, you can still feel the sunlight through the shade of the trees, but in the evening, there are bursts of thunder. Fortunately, I found a shelter before it started to rain and didn't go back to the big tree.

This is a stone cave with moss covering the ancient walls, ancient and mysterious. The cave is so deep that the light from the bonfire alone cannot reach the end. But as I only regard this place as a place to stay, I have no intention of exploring deeper. I am just waiting for dawn tomorrow to continue looking for the exit of the forest.

After finishing dinner, he put the other Pokémon into the ball except Tanabata Blue Bird, "I'm also looking after you tonight, Marshmallow."

Being skillfully wrapped by the Chinese Valentine's Day bluebird with its fluffy and soft feathers, I soon fell into the dreamy fragrance.

------------

The morning after the rain is full of life, and the land is especially soft under the moisture of the rain.

"Let's go! Leo! We can definitely do it today... Wow!"

Not long after we set off, Lucario suddenly hugged me and jumped up. Then there was a strange sound under my feet, and the ground began to collapse.

I kind of regret saying that the land is soft.

There was no point of support in the air, and Lucario, who was still holding me, couldn't jump to a safe place. I saw a cave under my feet due to collapse, so I had no choice but to go down first.

"Leo, let's go down and leave my safety to you."

"Lu!"

Sliding down together with the dirt, we passed several more forks along the way. By the time it was safe, I had no idea where I was.

Lucario anxiously checked whether I was injured. I held his hand to indicate that I was fine, "What about you, Leo, are you injured?"

"Lu~"

My eyesight is not as good as Lucario's, so I can't see anything in the dark cave. I took out the flashlight from my backpack and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that everything was fine under the dim light. "Great, it's just a pity that our forest trip has to be changed to cave exploration."

"Luca..." Lucario's ears drooped, his expression somewhat unwilling.

"No, it's not your fault that it fell. Leo was so handsome just now. He noticed the danger in an instant. Thanks to you for protecting me." I pinched his drooping ears and manually helped him stand up, "Thank you, Leo. "

"Lu!"

Let Lucario return to the Poké Ball to rest first. The incident just now consumed him too much energy. I sat down against the wall and began to reflect. It would have been better if I had just called out the Tanabata Bluebird, or let Eevee the Sun catch us with telekinesis. Lucario had obviously helped me buy time to escape from danger. I still lack experience in such emergencies.

I don’t know if I can return to the entrance by digging a hole, but in the game I clearly dig downwards, so why do I return to the upper level? The flashlight is about to run out of power, so instead of digging a hole later, let’s ask the sentry rat to use its flash to illuminate the way.

When I was thinking wildly, I heard footsteps in the distance, and the long and narrow passage was illuminated from the distance.

The light was getting closer and closer to me, and in the light, I saw a blue-haired young man in mountaineering clothing reaching out to me.

"Miss, are you alright?"
