Manor Lord in the Pokémon World

The next morning, the rising sun draped the manor in a golden veil.

Fangzhou got up early, carefully checked his backpack to make sure it was full of various commonly used medicines, and then set off with Tropical Dragon and Little Flame Monkey.

The target is the Orange Blossom Forest, located in the north.

The real-world Orange Blossom Forest is far more vast and complex than the area represented by the few small squares in the game.

Towering ancient trees block out the sun, vines entwine, and the terrain is varied.

Fang Zhou wasn't really sure if he could find his target inside.

He chose to bring Chimchar, mainly because the forest is a paradise for Bug-type Pokémon.

The Fire-type Chimchar has an absolute advantage in terms of attributes and can cope with most unexpected situations, making it a reliable source of combat strength.

Watching Ark ride the Tropical Dragon, accompanied by Chimchar, and gradually rise into the sky with a flap of its wings, turning into a tiny dot in the heavens, Kirlia, who remained at the manor, silently clenched her little hands.

The Ark has indeed changed!

He used to travel by bicycle with himself on the back, and he would only have himself on the back of the bicycle.

Now they don't even ask themselves if they want to go together...

And they even ride tropical dragons when they go out now...

It quietly arrived at its daily training location and began its daily training.

I clenched my fist to encourage myself. I need to hone my skills in the Grand Prix so I can make a name for myself in the competition!

I will personally take back what I have lost, bit by bit!

On the other side, Fangzhou rode the tropical dragon northwards, passing through Guchen Town before heading west. In the distance, he finally saw a dense forest.

This is Orange Blossom Forest.

Passing through the forest, you will reach Orange City, the largest city in the vicinity.

However, it was separated by a forest, and the forest was complex and complicated.

Aside from trainers who venture out on adventures, only a few business owners with dedicated cargo routes and sufficient resources to ensure their goods are not attacked by wild Pokémon will venture into the forest.

Ordinary residents rarely pass by this area.

I saw on TV a few days ago that the Hoenn region is planning to build an airport, which is expected to enable air connections to all towns and villages within the next few years.

It will be much more convenient to go out then.

In the Orange Blossom Forest, low shrubs and ferns grow wildly, forming a natural barrier.

Weedles and Caterpie crawled slowly among the dew-covered grass, occasionally catching a glimpse of a flash of electricity as Pikachu darted past.

In the sky, flocks of swallows and giant swallows circled and chirped, breaking the silence of the forest in the early morning.

The tiny buds curl up into balls, perfectly hidden in the grass, almost blending into their surroundings.

Ark rode the tropical dragon, hovering at a low altitude above the forest, hoping to use aerial vision to spot its target.

The red and blue color scheme of the Polymon Type B digital body should have been quite conspicuous in the lush green and brown forest.

However, after searching for a long time, their eyes were almost tired, but they still couldn't find a trace.

Could it be that they've already left?

After all, the news report was from several days ago.

At that moment, a sound of energy colliding coming from the forest below caught his attention.

Ark signaled the tropical dragon to lower its altitude and look down through the gaps in the branches and leaves.

In a clearing in the woods, a sharp-eyed Swellow was engaged in a fierce battle with a small Pokémon.

The Pokémon opposite looks like a little lamb, with horns on its head and its whole body covered in fluffy white cotton balls.

It's a wind sprite!

In the Pokémon games of the previous life, Whimsicott was a favorite in the competition due to its impressive speed and Prankster ability.

Ark commanded Tropius to stop and watch the battle between the two Pokémon with curiosity.

The situation on the field was that the Great King Yan was pressing the Wind Fairy, who was forced to defend and try to dodge.

It's clear it doesn't want to fight and wants to escape, but it's slower than a giant swallow, and it gets chased back every time it runs halfway.

The Great King Yan, on the other hand, toyed with the Wind Fairy like a cat playing with a mouse.

The wind sprite seemed to be angry at being tormented. It suddenly turned around, its eyes sharpened, and it clapped its hands forcefully.

An energy ball rapidly expanded from its center, soon filling the surrounding space!

The giant swallow, which was originally moving at an extremely fast speed, seemed to be soaking in water, its wings stuck by a powerful force, and its speed visibly slowed down.

Fang Zhou's pupils contracted; this was a magic space!

I never expected to encounter a wind sprite that can use magic space!

"Dada di~"

The wind sprite patted its bottom, hopped around, and ran away.

"Tropical dragon, after it!"

"Ao Si~" Although it didn't understand why Ark suddenly took a liking to this wind fairy, the tropical dragon still flapped its wings and chased after it.

"The move it just used is exactly what we wanted: Trick Room, which can reverse the speed of surrounding Pokémon!"

Tropical Dragon suddenly realized that this was the Trick Space, no wonder the giant swallow suddenly became so slow.

awesome!

"Chirp?" (So, instead of looking for a Porygonian Type B, should we switch to a Whimsicott?)

Fangzhou nodded and said to the little fire monkey, "Yes, Porygon Type B has probably already left this forest. Let's find this Whimsicott first."

However, while Whimsicott is slower than Swellow, it is still much faster than Tropius!

Even though the tropical dragon tried its best to keep up with the other, after being spotted by the wind sprite, the other also sped up and disappeared without a trace in no time.

Ark chased after the direction in which the other party disappeared, and finally came to a building that looked like an abandoned hotel.

This is a rather old five-story wooden and stone building, standing alone in the forest.

The exterior walls are covered with mottled water stains and dark green moss, with large patches of ivy almost engulfing the entire wall.

Most of the windowpanes were broken, leaving dark holes, like empty eye sockets in the building, silently watching the travelers passing by.

The wooden signboard hung crookedly, the words on it long since blurred and illegible, only the word "hotel" could be barely made out.

Fangzhou rolled off the tropical dragon and walked towards the hotel, feeling that the whole hotel exuded a desolate atmosphere, abandoned by time and the forest.

This inn was probably built specifically to make it easier for trainers to explore the forest, providing accommodation for passing trainers or a place for lost travelers to rest. But for some unknown reason, it went out of business later.

The wind sprite escaped into this hotel.

"Let's go in and take a look."
