Pokémon: Hoenn Storm

Chapter 649 All the way north (15)

Above Tianguan Mountain, the cold wind howled, but the big-billed gull controlled the airflow and guided it upward, without affecting the two people on its back at all.

"Lei, I still don't quite understand, why did you let Athena go in the end? And then left Lance's body to her?"

Sitting cross-legged in Lai's arms, Na Qi was tightly wrapped up like a small rice dumpling, and a vague voice came from the gap in the thick coat.

"Although what happened to Celebi has a certain impact, it is definitely not the main reason, but an excuse, but we all need it."

Hugging his girlfriend who was very afraid of the cold, Lai moved closer and the two of them stuck together.

Even though she was completely covered, Rai could still feel the smile on Nachi's face.

"I know this, but how can I not know your style? So, what's the reason?"

"The reason is also very simple. If we deal with these four people too early and too forcefully, leaving them no threat, then who is their threat? They will not know that we are also 'outsiders' now. ’, the distrust that comes with that identity will always be there, no matter how enthusiastic they appear to be.”

"Well, I understand this. So, as long as Athena does not appear, whether she dies in the gap between time and space, returns to her world, or dies in the wilderness where no one cares, this threat will always exist until a long time ago. It will gradually fade away in the future, and during this period, we will be their trusted allies?"

"Yes, that's it. Besides Apollo and Lambda, Lance's body is just to show off his muscles again and deepen their impression. Apart from anything else, in this time and space, there are at least two people who can It poses a threat to us, so don’t be careless.”

"One of the two people is the Magamu boss they call him. Where is the other one?"

"He is, how should I put it, a very knowledgeable and charming guy who hides deeply, but unfortunately, he is a misanthrope. I don't know what kind of person he is now after fighting side by side with the gods for a long time and then being abandoned. state, but it is better to believe that it is there than to believe that it is not, and be careful not to make a big mistake."

"Oh, that's your mission, I won't bother, hehe!"

Gently taking off her scarf, Naqi smiled charmingly, kissed Lai's cheek, and then quickly wrapped it again.

······
The mountaintop base is no longer far away from the original Sinnoh Temple and the later Spear Pillar.

Passing from high in the sky, without much attention, Rai could see that the original temple building and Pokémon statues had been completely destroyed, leaving only the pillars that had not been eroded by time, pointing like spears towards the sky.

"call"

After seeing the destroyed Sinnoh Temple with his own eyes, Rai breathed a long sigh of relief and felt relieved.

"Why are you so nervous?"

Na Qi couldn't understand it. In her opinion, it was just a relic.

"Because, we have finally escaped the biggest and biggest of all possible troubles. The eyes of a guy with a bad taste should not be cast too much here."

Patting his chest to calm down, Lai's tone became much more relaxed and cheerful.

"I don't understand you. Do you want to go down and take a look?"

He reached out and poked Len's cheek.

"No, it's not necessary. Besides, it's best not to stay in this place for a long time."

He raised his head and looked at the empty sky. It was better to be cautious about the existence of a certain alpaca.

······
To the north of the main peak of Tianguan Mountain, even in summer, there are still snowflakes falling.

Under the low temperature, it was covered with silver.

Even after putting on two thick coats, Naqi was still shivering.

"Shennoh is so cold. I will never say this is a suitable place to live!"

The little Zongzi completely shrank into a ball and hid in Lai's arms.

"It's indeed too cold. Even in Sinnoh, it shouldn't be this cold in May. But you saw that the people below didn't seem to care at all."

Although he was not afraid of the cold, Lai still put on a thick coat and wrapped Naqi in it. He felt the hard-to-dispel chill in the air and frowned slightly.

Perhaps due to the lack of industrialization in the city, the Sinnoh region in the far north was even colder thousands of years ago.

"If we keep on persisting, once we pass the snow-capped mountains and we lower the altitude, it might be better."

Using a little strength, he hugged his girlfriend tighter and Levin expressed relief. ······
"You're so stupid. You obviously have a red stone, but you still let me freeze!"

In the lee of Xuetao Valley, Lai, who felt the temperature dropped further after dark, chose to camp early.

Pressing objective issues can often enhance a person's subjective motivation.

Na Qi, who was severely frozen, rummaged through her backpack, and finally found the long-forgotten red stone in the corner.

When the lid is opened, the heat energy immediately flows out, adding a bit of warmth to the small tent.

Holding the box and not letting go, Naqi didn't forget to poke Lai's chest and started to squeal.

"I forgot, I haven't used this thing for a long time."

Lai scratched his head in embarrassment, got up and was about to sneak out to make a fire to cook, but was pulled back.

"Don't go out, I'm still cold, you have to help me warm up!"

"Wow wow wow! You hit my hair!"

"I let you hold me for a while, and then you started to move, how dishonest!"

"I want some hot soup and some spicy food!"

On the icy and snowy pure white permafrost, the small camp is full of laughter and warmth.

After some fun, Len opened the tent and walked outside.

Swampert took the lead, and seven or eight of the usual snacks were already sitting in a row, waiting for dinner.

【Eat~eat~】

Jirachi, who had always been restless, also left Leib and Sonic Dragon behind, floated over and landed on Rai's head, twisting his butt and humming.

Nian Meilong smiled shyly, stood up slowly, and leaned forward.

The Lizard King directed Kuailong very diligently, lit the bonfire, and set up the pots, waiting for Lai to cook the food himself.

"If all of you could learn from the Lizard King, it would save me a lot of trouble." Moving his right arm that was still a little painful, Lai sighed exaggeratedly, "Let's eat simple today."

As soon as these words came out, several Pokémon who were silently waiting for the meal immediately exploded in their nests.

For a time, ghosts cried and wolves howled, and protests were heard endlessly.

Mariluli and the armored bird even swooped forward and pushed Lai to the ground, as if they wouldn't let him get up until he cooked well.

【Want to eat! 】

Jirachi also floated down, squatted next to Rai's ear, and pulled hard again and again.

Naqi's silvery chuckle came from the tent.

······
Under the Ice Ghost Waterfall, the sticky dragon and the natural bird fought together against Lucario and the Snow Witch, and finally won the victory.

Outside the avalanche slope, the giant swamp monster and the powerful biting land shark fought for hundreds of rounds, and the outcome was hard to determine.

On the iceberg battlefield, under Bin Lian's watchful eye, the two main players appeared one after another and took turns fighting the King of the Snowfield, and both returned home happily.

In the cold snow country, abandon the worries of the world, and in a different time and space that no one knows, under the baptism of the unique green-washing energy, new tempering and growth begin.

A few days later, the white snow as far as the eye could see was finally replaced by rocks and warm mist.

Between the ice and snow, there is a whole area of ​​natural hot springs.

Well-proportioned and well-defined, the branches of the volcano have opened up a world as warm as the south.
