Pokémon Counterattack

This voice made Han Yue almost vomit blood in anger, because the Hippo King actually made him no different from the leader of the country!

At this moment, the villagers of Huipi Town really stood up one after another, their eyes focused on the hippopotamus king who was leisurely walking towards the group of beasts.

The Hippo King came to the group of Slowpokes and said loudly: "Everyone, perform the Rain Prayer!"

As soon as the words fell, all the Slowpokes looked up, and with a silly look on their faces, they sprayed out blue balls of light. The light balls shot straight into the sky, and in an instant the sky was filled with light balls, and then exploded, and heavy rain suddenly fell!

Han Yue had an umbrella in his hand without knowing when. The wide umbrella completely covered Sirona and Qian Hui beside him. However, Qian Hui cheered loudly: "It's raining, the god of Slowpoke appeared, it's raining!"

Seeing Qianhui rushing into the rain and shouting excitedly, Hanyue was speechless. And looking at the people of Huipi Town smiling with tears in their eyes, he was even more speechless. In comparison, Qianhui seemed much more shy.

Han Yue was helpless. A drop of rain accidentally fell into his mouth. He held the rain water in his mouth and noticed that it was slightly salty. He thought to himself, "The water here is alkaline, and the soil is acidic. No wonder only the water from the Slowpoke's well can keep plants alive!"

After finding out the mystery of the rain, Hanyue took out the Poké Ball and put the Hippo King who was waving and smiling at the villagers into it.

Looking at the cheering citizens of Juniper Town, Han Yue thought they would have to wait a little longer, so he suggested, "Shirona, let's go into Juniper Town first! Now that we have found the Iron Master, it doesn't hurt to meet him later."

Sirona nodded when she heard this, and Qianhui, who came running from nowhere, said happily: "Brother Hanyue, Sister Sirona, I will take you to Grandpa's house first!"

After saying that, Qianhui led Hanyue and Sirona towards the residence of the Steel Master.

As he walked, Hanyue noticed something strange: the ground under his feet, which was originally wet due to the heavy rain, was slowly drying up.

Seeing this scene, Han Yue was shocked, especially the small puddles that were gradually disappearing.

Hanyue was confused, and Sirona was also surprised.

Han Yue's eyes showed confusion. He turned to Qian Hui and asked doubtfully: "Qian Hui, do you know why this land can dry up so quickly?"

After hearing this, Qianhui showed a puzzled look and responded: "It's normal for it to dry up after the rain. What's wrong with that?"

"This is weird, understand?" Han Yue didn't say it directly, but it was not elegant to argue with a little girl. However, he felt that there was something strange about Juniper Town, and that there seemed to be secrets hidden in this land.

Han Yue refrained from speaking and only exchanged a glance with Shirona. Shirona nodded and said to Han Yue, "I understand. Let's investigate it again tonight! This matter is either related to Pokémon or caused by ancient relics. It seems that something big is going to happen!"

Hanyue nodded in agreement at Shirona's words, believing that there must be something wrong when things are abnormal.

The rain gradually stopped, and the ground was basically dry, except for the Slowpoke's Well, which was still overflowing with water. It was the water source for Hinoki Town. The well water was sufficient and could be used for many years, so no one cared.

At this moment, Hanyue has appeared in Master Steel's home.

The walls of the living room were filled with Pokémon balls. The various kinds of balls dazzled Hanyue, especially the three Master Balls at the top, which were particularly eye-catching.

Just as Han Yue reached out to take the Master Ball and examine it carefully—

There was a burst of laughter: "Haha, Qianhui, who is looking for me?"

Han Yue knew it was the Steel Master as soon as he heard it. He withdrew his hand that was reaching for the Master Ball and turned to look at the Steel Master who had taken the lead.

The Steel Master is indeed worthy of his reputation. Although he is as old as Dr. Oak, his words are full of majesty.

Seeing Hanyue and Sirona, he smiled and said, "I was wondering who was looking for me, it turned out to be Hanyue! The champion of the Sinnoh region is here too, it seems there is a story between you two!"

Hanyue smiled awkwardly, while Shirona blushed.

Han Yue took out the document that Professor Oak gave him from his backpack, handed it to Master Steel, and said, “Master Steel, this is what Professor Oak asked me to bring to you!”

Master Steel took the information, and a trace of seriousness flashed across his originally kind face. When he opened the information, he let out a long sigh.

"Hanyue, I'm sorry to make you laugh. An old man like me is also filled with emotion. Don't be shy. Professor Oak often mentions you. You are not an ordinary guy! Haha!"

After saying that, he pulled Hanyue to sit down, put the information about the dark ball aside, picked up a cup of herbal tea on the table and drank it.
