Pokémon: The Journey of Ordinary People

After Lili accepted the proposal, Zhang Yu quickly shared the good news with her friends.

Everyone sent their congratulations and said they would definitely let them know when they got engaged.

Daigo seemed even more excited than the person involved when he heard the news.

Finally, he was no longer tormented by his cousin's endless questioning. Thinking of this, Daigo excitedly picked up a pickaxe and dug for ore for three days straight.

It's said that many new types of Mega Stones have recently been discovered in various places, sparking a mining craze, and Steven has been spending all his time in the mines.

However, my cousin's engagement was obviously more important, after I had thoroughly enjoyed digging for stones.

Daigo then set off back to Hoenn to discuss his cousin's engagement with the others.

-

"Uncle Mulan, please have a seat~"

Lillie pulled out a chair, and after Zvoich Hibiscus sat down, she said to the two of them...

"Ayu, Lili Ai, it's not easy for young people to come together. I've watched you two get to where you are now."

"Hahaha, that really makes me very happy~"

"I fully support you two, but since it's an engagement, it's essential that both sets of parents discuss it."

"I understand Ayu's situation, but Lili, you two still need to meet your parents."

After hearing this, Zhang Yu and Lili Ai both nodded obediently.

"Uncle, my parents have been very busy in the Fire area lately, they haven't replied to my messages yet."

Lili asked in confusion

"They did tell me before that the Pokémon Ranger Competition is being held in the Fylene region, so they're quite busy."

"You two can fly over there to find them."

Mu Jin pondered for a moment and said

Pokémon Ranger?

Zhang Yu searched his memory for relevant information.

It is said that they use the hunting sleigh to soothe frightened Pokémon, release controlled Pokémon, and communicate with Pokémon to draw upon their power.

A typical ranger will only have one Pokémon with them; these Pokémon are called partner Pokémon.

The Ranger doesn't directly send their partner into battle against other Pokémon, but rather uses their partner's strength to hunt.

With Pokémon assistance, you can also use the power of wild Pokémon to hunt.

Compared to Pokémon Trainers in most regions

After studying at a specialized ranger school, rangers are dispatched as regional rangers to ranger alliances in Fire, Armia, or Oblibia.

These three places have a lower degree of urbanization compared to other regions, and have preserved their original natural appearance to a greater extent.

At the same time, it also indicates a more aggressive Pokémon culture there, which explains why Riell is so fierce when she goes berserk; there's a reason for it.

Since my parents-in-law couldn't get away from the Fire area, I'll go visit them with my girlfriend!

"Okay, Uncle, then Lili and I will pack up and get ready to go to the Fire region!"

Zhang Yu stood up with a smile and then said to Lili Ai

"Let's get ready and go meet the parents!"

……

The Felene region is quite far from Hoenn, so after they finished packing, Zhang Yu went to buy many gifts for their first meeting.

This was also the first time he had ever experienced something like this, so he bought a lot of things, almost filling up his virtual shopping bracelet.

There are no Poké Balls in the Felix region; Pokémon live alongside humans, and their culture is quite unique.

So Zhang Yu brought all his Pokémon with him, hoping they would see a different world and broaden their horizons.

Seeing how excited the two young people were, Mu Jin decided to lend a hand and sent the company's private jet to take them to the Fire region.

After her excitement subsided on the plane, Lili Ai quickly fell asleep leaning on Zhang Yu's shoulder.

Zhang Yu gently poked the other person's cheek with her finger, smiled indulgently, and then turned to look at the scenery outside the window.

Shaymin, who had gained weight, was also leaning against the window, gazing at the scenery, so different from that of the Hoenn region.

"Mi~"

Occasionally, a Pokémon would fly by in the air, and Shaymin, regardless of whether the Pokémon could hear her or not, would stretch out her little paw to greet it.

As a bloodwing dragon passed by, it happened to see Shaymi waving, so it nodded in response in a friendly manner.

"Oh dear, you need to lose weight!"

Zhang Yu picked up Xie Mi and placed it on her lap, gently rubbing its round belly.

It's only been a short time since I last saw you, and you already have a "spare tire" around your belly.

However, it feels pretty good.

"mum!"

Upon hearing about dieting, Shemi immediately became unhappy, pawing at Zhang Yu's hand with her little paws, as if she wouldn't let him touch her unless he gave her something delicious.

……

The Fire region is indeed far away; it took nearly eight hours by private jet to finally arrive in Qiulu City that evening.

The two of them immediately felt the different atmosphere of the city as soon as they got off the plane.

The architectural style here is much more rugged than that of the Hoenn region, with rock being the primary building material.

The pedestrians on the street had darker skin, probably because they often worked outside.

Some Pokémon were working in the shops lining the road; they didn't seem to have their own trainers, simply doing business within human society.

Seeing that it was getting late, Zhang Yu and Lili Ai decided to visit Lili Ai's parents the next day after they had rested well.

Let's explore Qiulu City now and experience its unique local customs and culture.

Walking down the street, you can often see Pokémon rangers who look like trainers.

They also had hunting buoys hanging from their waists, resembling spinning tops.

Various Pokémon followed behind them, but the most numerous were Maxthon and Mind Blast.

The Fira region is relatively remote, and there are generally few tourists from other places visiting.

The appearance of Zhang Yu and Lili Ai quickly attracted a lot of attention.

Hello, big brother!

"Excuse me, what Pokémon is perched on your shoulder?"

A soft, sweet voice rang out, and a little girl looked at Shaymin with sparkling eyes; she had never seen a Pokémon like this before.

"Little friend, its name is Shaymi!"

"Mi~"

As Zhang Yu introduced her, Xie Mi yawned and lazily waved her hand.

Wow!! So cute~

"So, are you Pokémon Rangers too, big brother and sister?"

The little girl asked curiously

However, Lillie shook her head.

"No, little sister, we're Pokémon Trainers from other regions~"

"Pokémon Trainer?"

The little girl had clearly never heard of this profession before, and tilted her head, deep in thought.

Just then, a Pokémon Ranger carrying a hunting harpoon ran over, followed by a Rhyhorn. He then said apologetically to the two of them...

"Excuse me, gentlemen, I hope my younger sister hasn't caused you any trouble..."

"Oh, no, no, the little girl was just a bit curious about my friend."

Zhang Yu smiled and waved her hand.

"Brother~ They're Pokémon Trainers~"

Upon hearing his sister's words, the patrolman brother was slightly taken aback, then revealed an expression of understanding.

"Hahaha, no wonder! So you guys came from another region, right?"

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Feng Lin, and I'm a mid-level ranger."

"This is my partner, the Drillhorn Rhinoceros~"

Zhang Yu extended her hand to shake hands with patrolman Feng Lin, and then introduced herself and Lili Ai.

"Since you two are new here, how about I show you around Autumn Dew City? I grew up here, I know all the good food and fun things to do!"

Seeing the other party's enthusiasm, Zhang Yu accepted the invitation without hesitation.

"That's great, thank you so much, Feng Lin. But will it interfere with your work?"

Lili asked

However, Feng Lin said it was alright.

"I'd also like to ask you two to tell me stories from other regions~"
