Pokémon: The Journey of Bonds

As the finals ended, everyone left one after another, and the gymnasium soon became quiet. Wu Yao also left and returned home. It was rare that his parents were both there today, and they celebrated Wu Yao's graduation. His father brought good news that the general-type gym was stabilized, and with the promotion of Ziliushui, there were still many people playing in the gym. This year, the grass-type gym was eliminated, and Wu Tianshao could still work for another year.

"Have you decided to travel anyway?"

"Yes, father, it has always been my dream to travel and become a champion to wash away the shame of Hanxing!"

The parents looked at each other helplessly.

"Go to a general gym and wait until you are strong enough to challenge me! I won't let you down. You are too weak now."

"I understand, father!"

The next day, Wu Yao came to school to receive his reward for winning the national novice championship, 1 Elf Coins, a month's supply of advanced energy blocks and three advanced balls. The school gave him some encouragement, and then those who were going on adventures left first, while those who chose to continue taking the exams stayed. Wu Yao replaced the ordinary ball of the Quaking Frog with an advanced ball, as the advanced ball was more suitable for the elf to rest than the ordinary ball.

Wu Yao and Sun Qing arrived at the school gate.

"Brother Yao, where are you going to go to for your first gym?"

"I'll pick a Ground or Rock type. The Pokémon over there are weak water. One is in this province and not far away, and the other is farther away. I'll see if I can meet other Pokémon on the way to become my second Pokémon. What about you? Is your relationship with Tornado not improve yet?"

"Now he doesn't reject my touch anymore, and our relationship has made some progress. I plan to go to the Grass-type gym, where the attributes are restrained by me. If Tornado obeys my orders and wins a game, there's a chance that our relationship will be repaired!"

"Well, we've been together for so long and now we have to separate. Let's go our separate ways. I hope you get the Grass Badge and mend your relationship with Tornado Cat the next time we meet."

Wu Yao started his journey with enough food for more than a week. After careful consideration, Wu Yao decided to go to the not-too-far Rock Town first. It only takes a week to cross the lush forest. Although there is a safe road to Rock Town directly, trainers all like the feeling of adventure and need to constantly fight to hone themselves. Therefore, even if there are many dangers, countless trainers will continue to go to dangerous places. At the same time, there are adventures in dangerous places, which can enhance the strength of Pokémon. Each country has its own conditions. The Alliance wants to protect the trainers but is powerless. The four major families also hinder the development of trainers. For them, the more trainers die, the better. The previous generation had joined the Alliance to arrange to weaken the strength of wild Pokémon. After the four major families came to power, they abandoned the weakening plan, and wild Pokémon became strong again.

Wu Yao took a look at the city where he had lived for a long time and entered the forest. Along the way, he heard the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers. The ecology was completely different from that on the island. There were many kinds of Pokémon here, not just insects.

Wu Yao released the Frog to follow him around, so that it could scare away weaker Pokémon. The first day passed safely. Wu Yao saw that it was approaching evening, so he set up the tent and lit firewood with a lighter. After dinner, he hid in the tent. Most of the dangerous Pokémon appeared at night, so nothing happened that night.

The next day, Wu Yao packed up his things and left the base. He hadn't taken two steps when he felt the forest was unusually quiet. He heard strange noises and soon a drone flew by and startled Wu Yao. There was a bag tied under the drone, which contained many elves. When the drone saw Wu Yao, it shot an electric current at him. Wu Yao was startled and dodged in a hurry. A quack frog nearby fired a water wave at the drone, but the drone dodged flexibly. Then another bolt of lightning hit it.

"Quack-headed frog, retreat first!"

The Quat Frog rolled twice, avoided the attack and ran into the bushes. Wu Yao also hid. After the drone lost its target, it quickly flew away. At this time, Wu Yao and the Quat Frog showed their heads. Wu Yao made a gesture, and the Quat Frog secretly followed the drone. Soon, the Quat Frog found a car and two masked men, one fat and one thin. The bag of the drone was roughly torn off by the two men and thrown into the car, and many screams of the elves were heard.

"We have caught all the Pokémon that escaped, and also harvested a new batch of wild Pokémon. Unfortunately, the timing of the drugging was not right. We have two escaped Xenomorphs. I heard from our superiors that a big client specifically wants Xenomorphs! If we really catch them, we will not only get a bounty, but also make a fortune! We will look for them later. They will definitely not be able to escape from this forest!"

"Just now a little devil saw us catching elves. Is it okay?"

"It's obvious that he's a trainer who just started his adventure. He's not very strong. Besides, didn't I say that we've contacted a powerful person this time? Even if we're discovered by the police, they'll have a way to find us. If that brat dares to call the police, not only will we be safe, but he'll be targeted by us and punished by the organization!"

"By the way, why don't we use a big wolfhound to look for it? Dogs have good noses!"

"Why didn't I think of that? Come out, big wolfhound!"

"Woof!"

"This is the bag for catching Larulas, smell it!"

The big wolfhound walked forward and sniffed, then ran quickly in one direction, followed closely by the two hunters. Seeing this, the Quagola Frog went back and told Wu Yao.

"Damn it, I can't report hunting wild Pokémon. What should I do?"

Suddenly Wu Yao thought of something that could help him fight against the boss behind the scenes.

"He certainly wouldn't dare to cause a diplomatic row!"

He took out the postcard and called upon the Metagross. In just 2 seconds, the white Metagross appeared in front of Wu Yao.

"Quick! Someone is poaching rare Pokémon! They're searching for two different-colored Larulas! And there's someone behind them!"

The Metagross closed its eyes and began to spread invisible psychic energy. Soon, the Metagross locked onto a location and rushed over quickly. After a while, the Metagross used its telekinesis to pull the two stunned poachers and the giant wolfhound to appear in front of Wu Yao.

"I'll go and hand them over to Mr. Daigo. Your information has been destroyed and no one will know it was you who did it. The other Pokémon have been released. Remember to call me if you have anything else." A steady voice sounded in Wu Yao's head, and then Metagross disappeared into the sky.

"At least one problem has been solved!" Wu Yao continued his journey with the croaking frog.
