Pokémon: New Ash, Starting from Hoenn

Night fell quietly. Tonight, Xiaozhi finished the special training early and walked towards home with Pikachu, Eevee and others.

When they passed a quiet forest, Pikachu and Eevee on their shoulders suddenly screamed in unison: "Pika!" "Boey!"

At the same time, Xiaozhi's body flashed with blue light, and the power of waveguide extended out, and a rock dog was seen limping towards them.

"Rock dog?!" Xiaozhi couldn't help but exclaimed.

Isn't this rock dog the one fostered by Dr. Kukui? Although it is not the doctor's Pokémon, Xiaozhi has heard from the doctor that this rock dog came to his house by chance. Since eating the Pokémon food given by the doctor, it has been very close to the doctor and stayed in his home. However, at this moment, the rock dog was covered with scars and looked very weak.

When the rock dog walked out of the depths of the forest and saw Xiaozhi and others, it immediately ran over excitedly. Pikachu, Eevee and other Pokémon landed and greeted it enthusiastically.

Rotom flew over and circled Rock Dog several times to check its injuries. "These are abrasions, cuts and scratches, and there are also burns, Loto!"

After hearing Rotom's words, Xiaozhi stepped forward and carefully picked up Rock Dog, looking at its scars, "Where did you go to fight, little guy? You got all these wounds?"

After saying that, Xiaozhi activated the power of Evergreen, and a gentle force flowed out of his hands and slowly injected into Rock Dog's body.

With the injection of Evergreen's power, Rock Dog's wounds began to heal slowly, and a green halo bloomed from its body. After a while, its injuries were completely healed.

Rock Dog felt the changes in its body, and excitedly barked, wagged its tail, and kept rubbing Xiaozhi with the rock attached to its neck.

This is the way that Rockdog greets people in a friendly way, but for ordinary people, being touched by such rocks would be quite painful. However, for Xiaozhi, it is not a big deal at all.

Since Xiaozhi lives not far from Dr. Kukui, Rockdog often comes to play with Xiaozhi, so their relationship is still very good.

Xiaozhi stared at the Rockdog in front of him, his eyes flashing with thought, and suddenly he raised his eyebrows, as if thinking of something important: "You guys are not going to evolve soon, right?"

Rockdog is a Pokémon that has a close relationship with humans. Since they met, Rockdog has always been very docile and well-behaved. However, it was late at night, and Rockdog still went out to fight. This abnormal behavior made Xiaozhi realize that Rockdog might be about to change.

In fact, Rockdog's temper will gradually become irritable as it grows up. When they start to make long and distant barks at dusk, it often means that they are about to usher in the moment of evolution. What is more noteworthy is that Rockdog will temporarily leave the trainer when evolving, and will return to the trainer after the evolution is completed.

So Xiaozhi brought Rock Dog to Dr. Kukui's research institute. Unexpectedly, Dr. Kukui had already attached great importance to this matter and installed multiple cameras at home to record Rock Dog's condition at home.

From the video, it can be seen that Rock Dog was obviously not the first time to return home with a serious injury, but had had many similar experiences.

"Huh? Xiaozhi, you are here!" Dr. Kukui was studying today's video. Seeing Xiaozhi holding Rock Dog back, he guessed what happened and hurriedly invited him to watch the video together.

Rock Dog saw his figure appear on the screen and shouted excitedly.

The video shows that at the beginning, Rock Dog behaved normally, playing alone at home waiting for the doctor to return.

"I am more concerned about the latter part." Dr. Kukui fast-forwarded a little, and the picture came to dusk. Rock Dog seemed to be summoned by some mysterious power, threw down the ball in his hand, became extremely excited, and then rushed out of the small door specially left for it by Dr. Kukui.

"Then you brought it back." Dr. Kukui turned off the video and explained, "It was about this time last night. When I returned home, I found Rock Dog lying on the ground, covered with wounds. So I quickly treated it."

Xiaozhi gently touched Rock Dog's head, and Rock Dog immediately rubbed it with the rock on its neck, seeming to enjoy the touch very much.

Then Xiaozhi's heart moved, and he told Dr. Kukui his guess. After thinking for a moment, Dr. Kukui agreed with Xiaozhi's opinion.

So they decided to wait for the arrival of dusk tomorrow, and then quietly follow Rock Dog to see where it went.

After the class on the second day, Xiaozhi and Dr. Kukui hurried homeBut they didn't rush into the house, but found a place not far from Dr. Kukui's institute to hide.

Through the cameras installed in the institute, they can clearly observe the rock dog's every move in the house.

Dr. Kukui specially prepared a doll of the same size as the rock dog as its new toy.

The rock dog liked the doll very much and often played with it.

However, just as dusk approached, something unexpected happened.

The rock dog suddenly showed a fierce expression to the doll, let out a low roar from his mouth, and stared at the doll with his teeth bared, as if warning the other party not to get close.

At this moment, the rock dog looked more like a ferocious wolf cub than a cute puppy.

It pounced on it, bit the doll fiercely, and then twisted its neck hard, throwing the doll away fiercely. If this was a real flesh and blood body bitten by it like this, it would definitely be skinned and fleshy, and it would be terrible.

This irritable behavior shows that Rock Dog is experiencing growth and change, and its final evolutionary form is the wolf!

At this moment, Rock Dog seemed to be summoned by some mysterious power again. After a low roar, it quickly rushed out of the door and ran towards the depths of the forest without hesitation. It was so fast that it disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye.

Xiaozhi and Dr. Kukui are both people with excellent physical fitness. They can easily keep up with Rock Dog. Finally, they came to a strange hill.

The scene in front of them made people gasp: the red stone pillar was like a huge and ferocious claw, stretching from the ground to the sky, which was particularly eye-catching in the forest.

At the top of the highest stone pillar, there were two ferocious wolves howling to the sky, and their voices echoed throughout the forest, causing other Pokémon to respond.

After a while, those Pokémon in the forest who thought they were powerful gathered here, and the scene was very spectacular.

A careful observation reveals that the two fierce wolves are the different evolutions of Rock Dog - Maned Rock Werewolf!

The evolution of Rock Dog is closely related to day and night. During the day, it will evolve into the daytime form, showing a handsome giant wolf appearance. It has soft light brown hair, and its light blue eyes reveal a mysterious light. There are four sharp manes on its neck, which looks particularly majestic.

At night, Rock Dog will evolve into the night form, which is completely opposite to the daytime form. It walks upright on its feet, its dark red hair is like a burning flame, and its eyes are red and full of evil spirit. There is no mane on the neck, but instead there is a flowing mane behind the head and a sharp mane piercing the forehead, giving people a fierce and wild feeling.

"It's great to be able to see Rock Dog in both daytime and night forms here at the same time!" Rotom excitedly took photos not far from Xiaozhi to record this rare scene.

Dr. Kukui was also excited. He said excitedly: "So that's it. This is the legendary Paw Print Hill!"

Under their call, many powerful Pokémon such as Infernape, Superpower, Hellraiser, Toucan, Warrior Eagle, Rogue Panda, and Charmeleon gathered. They formed a circle on the platform in the palm of their hands, forming a huge arena.

These Pokémon exuded a strong aura, as if ready for a fierce battle at any time.

Rock Dog has also joined in, and then excitedly shook its tail and jumped up and down, standing in a row with Pokémon of similar size such as Vulture Girl and Arm Strength.

They roared together, full of power, echoing in the dark night sky!

Obviously, Rock Dog was also attracted by the call of the two Wolf Mane. In the past few days, it has been fighting with other Pokémon here. Its body is covered with scars, but its eyes are shining with excitement.

Amid the clamor, the two Wolf Mane took the lead in a fierce duel!
