Arceus in the Initial Village (1)
It's just after New Year's, but the Sinnoh region is huge. There are places where it doesn't snow even after the New Year, and it's even hot.
The climate around the initial village wasn't quite hot, but it really wasn't even close to being cool.
It was actually quite comfortable, but I couldn't help but walk for too long.
Whitley wiped a handful of sweat from his head, propped his hands on his knees, wore a rough breath, and said to Hoopa on the side with a helpless face, "Is this what you mean by not far away???"
Hoopa, with an innocent face, spread his hands and said, "It's only been three hours of walking, is it far? Look Rope is fine!"
Whitley: ...
To say that Whitley couldn't walk for three hours was nonsense, but because Hoopa said it wasn't far away at the beginning, so she had been happy to lead the way in the front, and walked very happily, and of course very quickly.
It's understandable that her stamina would drop quickly if she walked like that...
As for Hoopa comparing Rope to her...
I can only say that Hoopa really gave Whitley a big face.
Rope of course did not feel anything, he knew from the beginning that the distance was not really close, even now, there is still about an hour away from the initial village.
The reason why he didn't remind Whitley at that time is to let Whitley have a long memory. Even now, we must pay more attention to the distance. It was obvious that there was a locator right by his side, but he was listening to someone else. That's a fault that has to be changed.
Still, Rope shook his head somewhat helplessly when he saw Whitley's sorry state. Unclipping a Pokéball from his belt.
"Come on out, Arcanine."
Arcanine, who hadn't been out in a while, came up and pounced on Rope, licking Rope's face desperately.
Rope pushed Arcanine outward with a disgusted look on his face, but his eyes were full of laughter as well.
You say Rope doesn't want them is bullshit, these are his family. In fact, for Arcanine and the others, it was true that everyone was only separated for ten or twenty minutes.
But unable to resist the fact that they were connected to Rope's mind, they could all feel how much Rope missed them.
So they were also willing to show their passionate side to Rope, letting Rope feel their warmth.
"Okay, okay, stop it."
Rope stroked the dog's big head, then smiled, "Go ahead and carry Whitley. She's tired of walking."
"Woof! ∠(°ゝ°)"
Arcanine made the gesture of having saluted. Then swooped Whitley to the ground at her horrified gaze, and frantically shaking hands.
Another mineral lick.
"Arcanine! Will you stop it !!!!"
Whitley was licked beyond belief.
While Hoopa on the side was thoughtful.
"Is this the legendary
The stream gurgled and made a soft sound. On one side, Starly looked at the brave people fooling around over here and felt not so scared. Wasn't it that there were two Caterpies that appeared in the treetops, watching their interaction.
Rope felt the sunlight, the warm breeze, and the scent of Pokémon.
The world really is a beautiful place!
In the end Whitley plopped down on Arcanine's back and then allowed Arcanine to carry herself forward.
Arcanine's back was warm, like a quilt that had been tanned by the sun. And it was also furry.
It wasn't just Whitley who loved it, Daisy, Sennogi, and even Cynthia loved leaning on Arcanine.
As for Rope's other Pokémon, Charizard has dragon scales, Gengar is cold, Infernape is hard as a rock, and Naganadel was never seen around, and they really aren't familiar with Whitley, so it's hard to say if he's Rope's Pokémon or not.
Entei does have a similar feel to Arcanine. But Entei isn't as cheerful and approachable as Arcanine. Everyone knows that it's okay to play with Entei even if you're really close to him. But it's just hard not to feel a sense of awe towards Entei.
After all, he was a god in the true sense of the word.
Even if it's weak, a god is a god.
There are also Mewtwo and Eternatus, there is no need to say too much, we are not familiar is not familiar ah.
After walking for about an hour. The group finally arrived at the gate of the initial village.
It looks like an ordinary village, and you can see some pedestrians along the entrance.
However, there were guards at the entrance of the village. This was something Whitley didn't quite understand.
"Why is there someone else watching at the village entrance?"
After all, the relationship between humans and Pokémon had eased up a lot compared to back then. And thanks to League's efforts, those Pokémon Hunters that would attack people had been pretty much eliminated. The ones that were left were just a few crooked ones, and it was still quite difficult to stage an attack on a village.
So the role of this guard was something Whitley really didn't quite understand.
Rope looked at the architectural style of the village in front of him which was somewhat familiar.
The previous Kusunoki Village had given him such a feeling. It was as if this kind of village that was clearly different from the modern architectural style had been seen somewhere.
After thinking for a moment, Rope suddenly remembered where he had seen such a building.
Wasn't this the architecture of the Hisui region?
That's really old, ancient years...
"Come on, let's go inside, there might be a surprise waiting for us inside."
Rope had this feeling. In this village, which was even more primitive than Grass Village, one would definitely be able to get what they wanted.
Rope was indeed happier in the face of such a situation. After all, the unknown means a new harvest!
"Both of you, enter the village and pay the sightseeing fee."
Just as Rope and the others were about to enter the village, they were suddenly stopped by the guard at the entrance.
The guard yawned and looked at them with a helpless face.
Rope was also frozen for a moment by this practice of theirs... no, isn't the tourism of this village almost gone? Why are they still charging admission fees here?
The man looked at Rope and the others who were a bit stunned, and was also a bit confused for a while. Then he scratched his head and helplessly said: "You came to visit but didn't bring any money? Forget it..."
Saying that, he leaned against the door again and said with a yawn, "You guys go in, and once you're inside, just say that you've already paid for it. Have fun."
Then he closed his eyes and basked in the sun.
Rope and Whitley and Hoopa looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
But being dumbfounded was only for a moment, and Rope quickly thanked the man, "Thank you. We brought money though."
As soon as her words left her mouth, Whitley pulled two large bills out of her own pocket and handed them over. Generally speaking no matter what kind of attraction it was, these two bills would be enough for the entrance fee.
The guard looked like he didn't quite understand what was going on in the minds of these two people who were sending the money over again, but in the end, he didn't refuse.
But also just accepted a bill.
"That's enough, there's still a bit more, but I don't have any change here, if you guys want change go to the village and find the village chief."
"There's not really much to do in the village, if you want to eat we suggest going to Taku's house for dinner. His family's rice is the best. Other than that, I don't really have any other recommendations, so you guys just watch and have fun."
With that, he waved his hand and closed his eyes again.
Whitley and Rope were also amused by his demeanor, it was obvious that he didn't want to care about anything!
However, this kind of person is not rare, so Rope only laughed a little.
As the group approached the village, Whitley was immediately struck by the primitive architecture.
"It seems very impressive!"
Whitley looked left and right and felt as if it was indeed very interesting.
The dress of the villagers was no different from normal people while the buildings in the village were so full of primitive style.
I have to say that this kind of mix and match does sound on the top. It was as if a modern man came out of a stone cave carrying a stone spear.
Rope stroked Whitley's head and said, ''Then there's no rush to find something first. Let's go eat a meal first and see what this village has to offer."
Whitley, on the other hand, nodded vigorously. She was certainly more interested in taking a break first. Not that she was that tired. Rather, it was evident that Rope's spirit had been taut the entire time.
Compared to herself, Rope actually needed some simple rest to relax his nerves.
Whitley didn't want to see Rope break down.
Rope swept around and found that there were young people who were buying fruits over there, so he smiled and walked up to the person and said with a smile, "Hello, we are tourists from out of town, we want to almost something now, the guard at the entrance recommended Taku's house to us, may I ask where Taku's house is located?"
The young man who was in front of the fruit stand looked up at the words and smiled at Rope, on his face was a polite smile.
"Taku's house isn't far from here, it's just to the east, there's a not-so-big sign in front of his house."
After pointing the way he added, "But if you're going to eat you'll have to be quick, they don't cook past meal time if their house."
Rope sniffed a little strangely.
"Doesn't their family run a restaurant? Why would they stop cooking after meal time?"
The youth laughed and said, "Hahaha, Taku's family doesn't run a restaurant, it's just that because his wife is a good cook, the tourists who used to come here would be willing to give them money to help cook."
"But actually Taku and his family were quite annoyed about it, so then they just greeted only one table of guests a day."
Whitley was a bit puzzled, "Isn't your village known for tourism? Why don't you develop tourism properly?"
The youth shook his head, "No one is interested, we just want a quiet life."
Rope nodded and smiled, "Alright, then we won't bother."
And with that they were ready to get up and leave.
However, as they were getting up, a clear female voice suddenly came from the interior of the fruit store.
"Brother Al! It's lunch time!"
So Rope paused in his steps and looked at the youth behind him.
The youth had a smile on his face. Only this smile right now, how it looked had a, well, strange feeling to it.
