Pokémon: Pikachu Bonds

"I see. I'll come back tomorrow afternoon." Shinji expressed his understanding, then turned around and asked, "Where did you catch your Crystal Steelix, Xiaozhi?"

"I encountered this in a natural hot spring when I was traveling in the Johto region. It was soaking in the hot spring, but it was still a giant Onix at the time," Xiaozhi replied.

Denci was stunned for a moment when he heard this. Wow! A normal Onix wouldn't be able to do such a thing. Only Crystal Onix would dare to do this.

"Johto region? So Crystal Onix isn't a regional form?" Unlike Denji, Shinji quickly grasped the key point.

"Well, according to Professor Oak's research institute, Crystal Onix is ​​a special Pokémon, not a regional form." Xiaozhi paused and continued, "If you want to catch Crystal Onix, I can point you in a direction."

"Oh? Have you encountered a second crystal rock snake?" Shinji asked curiously.

"Well~ 6 years ago when I was traveling in the Orange Islands, I encountered a crystal Onix living in a crystal cave. Although someone wanted to tame it at that time, they later gave up for some reason. I don't know if it is still there now. If you are interested, you can go and have a look." Xiaozhi told Shinji all the information about the crystal Onix. As for whether the other party can tame it, it all depends on his luck.

"A subsidiary island connected to Ponkan Island? I understand." Shinji nodded.

"Shinji, you must remember that the road leading to the island can only be found at low tide in the evening," Xiaozhi reminded.

"I understand." Shinji said and turned to leave. At the same time, he prepared to go to the Orange Islands to try his luck after the gym battle. Shinji was very satisfied with the characteristics of Crystal Steelix, and it would definitely bring out better value in his hands.

"Mr. Denci, we'll be leaving first. If we go to the dock now, maybe we can still catch the ship to the Unova region." After Shinji left, Satoshi said goodbye to Denci.

"Well, be careful on the road." Denci nodded, and then said seriously: "Xiaozhi, I am looking forward to your performance in the joint conference. I will go to watch it then."

"If I have time then, I will go and watch the battle." Daye said with a smile. Now he is not as free as he was four years ago. He has to train Pokémon every day.

After all, the former champion Red came back not long ago and strongly requested all regional champions to participate in the championship trials, and the top eight can obtain a large amount of resources. Daye is very covetous of those resources. As long as he can get those resources, he can definitely compete for the Sinnoh champion throne.

What's more, even if you can't enter the top 8, as long as you perform well in the selection competition, you can get a lot of resources. Although it is not as generous as the top 8, it is enough for a trainer to train a main Pokémon. As for the championship of the selection competition, he didn't dare to think about it.

"Then I'm looking forward to meeting you at the joint conference." Xiaozhi said with a smile, and then led Xiaoxia and Xiaogang to the dock. They took a ship to arrive at Feiyun City in the Unova region at around 6 pm. Then Xiaozhi and his party rested for one night at the Pokémon Center in Feiyun City.

At the same time, Xiaozhi sent most of his Pokémon to Professor Oak, leaving only Pogaman. Xiaozhi originally planned to keep Blaziken as well, but Blaziken said he wanted to return to the backyard to continue training, and Xiaozhi could only respect its idea.

..........

The next day, Xiaozhi and his group packed their bags and continued their journey to the next gym, Lichong City...

"It's so hot. I feel this place is hotter than a volcano." Xiaoxia wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"Yeah~ The moisture in my body is about to be evaporated. It would be great if it could rain. It could also cool down this sultry weather." Xiaogang said, sticking out his tongue.

"Looking at the weather, it's unlikely. I just hope there's a river nearby so I can jump in and swim for a while." Xiaozhi sighed.

"Pika~" Pikachu, who had just finished exercising, lay on Xiaozhi's shoulder with a tired look on his face. In such hot weather, Pikachu was too lazy to move.

Boom! !

Suddenly, there was a bolt from the blue, and I was startled. Then, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and it started to rain heavily...

"Σ(?д?|||)??It was cloudless just now, but suddenly it started raining heavily. The weather really changes at any time." Xiaoxia complained.

"Don't worry about that for now, let's find a place to shelter from the rain!" Xiaogang said hurriedly.

"Let's go there!" Xiaozhi said, pointing to the villa on the hillside not far away.

"Well~ let's go there to shelter from the rain." Although it was puzzling that there was a villa in such a place, Xiaogang did not think too much about it. After all, some rich people like to build villas in sparsely populated areas.

Afterwards, Xiaozhi and his group gathered all their strength and ran towards the hillside villa, and soon arrived at the door of the luxurious villa.

dong dong dong~

"Excuse me~ We are heading to the West... Ugh! We are just travelers passing by. Because the weather suddenly changed and it started to rain heavily, we would like to stay here for one night." Xiaozhi knocked on the door and stated his purpose.

Click~

As soon as Xiaozhi finished speaking, the door of the villa opened automatically, and there was no one inside the villa...

"Strange? Why is there no one here?" Xiaoxia asked puzzledly.

"Someone clearly opened the door just now, why can't we see that person suddenly? Could it be that this door is automatically sensed?" Xiaogang guessed.

"Don't worry about it, let's go in first." Xiaozhi walked into the villa. Xiaogang and Xiaoxia entered the villa at the same time. After Xiaozhi and the others entered the villa, the door of the villa closed automatically with a "bang".

"It's strange? Why did the door close automatically?" Xiaoxia asked puzzledly.

"Maybe it was closed by the wind." Xiaogang guessed.

"Impossible! This door looks very heavy. No matter how strong the wind is, it is impossible to close the door." Xiaoxia denied.

"Be careful!" Xiaozhi suddenly threw Xiaoxia to the ground.

"Xiaozhi, even though we will get married and have children in the future, it's too early to do this now. Besides, no matter how anxious you are, you have to wait until Xiaogang falls asleep before coming to see me." Xiaoxia looked at Xiaozhi who was so close to her with a flushed face, and she could clearly feel Xiaozhi's body temperature.
