Chapter 1382 Adventure with the Great Wood

Chapter 1382 Adventure with the Great Wood

Professor Oak intends to embark on an adventure in Silver Mine.

To enhance the surprise of discovering a "new" Pokémon, he didn't let Kashiwagi tell him what Pokémon were there.

"Alright, take your time. If you get tired, just rest where you are."

Kashiwagi didn't disturb his enjoyment and left with Shizuo Soroya in her arms.

The woods beside the highway gradually quieted down.

After looking around, Professor Oak's gaze passed through the layers of trees and he could vaguely see an open field.

He decisively stepped forward, ready to go over and take a look.

Along the way, he encountered a swarm of walking grass, which ran towards him joyfully, "Hey~ Hey~"

"Oh, what a lovely bunch!"

Professor Oak greeted him with a smile, but when the Oddish realized that it was a strange middle-aged man, not the familiar Mt. Silver, they immediately scattered in fright.

Professor Oak was left standing there, feeling awkward.

This is really not a good start.

He coughed twice as he walked through the woods, and what came into view was a vast field with a gentle breeze.

Although it is winter, you can still see fields of golden wheat, with the wind blowing through the wheat creating ripples.

Many birds and insects, wild Pokémon, flitted through the fields, freely enjoying the fresh fruits and vegetables, completely ignoring the scarecrow's presence. This vibrant natural scene made Professor Oak unconsciously take a deep breath.

He has always enjoyed spending time with Pokémon; otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to the trouble of releasing them from their Poké Balls every day to let them roam freely on the mountain behind the research institute.

Suddenly.

He seemed to notice something and followed the ridge to a melon patch where four strange Pokémon were lying on the ground, next to several uneaten watermelons.

"These are..."

Professor Oak took out his phone from his pocket and started taking pictures.

When he was young, he was similar to Xiao Jian, and was good at Pokémon sketching. As he got older, his hand speed declined, and he was worried that if he drew too slowly, the Pokémon would run away, so he had to switch to taking photos.

Click~

The sound of a camera shutter and the flash, mimicking those of a mobile phone, startled the sleeping Pokémon.

"Wang?"

"Goo?"

"grumble!"

Without a doubt, the three Pokémon were located here. Most of Momo's body was covered by the melon rind, so Professor Oak didn't see him at first.

Upon discovering the stranger, the Pokémon's companions reacted in various ways. The ape immediately used its future vision to try to predict the other party's actions. After finding that Professor Oak did not do anything suspicious, it lowered its guard slightly.

The dog got up and circled him twice. Professor Oak quickly raised his hand to show his innocence.

The dog could smell the cypress wood on him, and its wariness lessened.

"I meant no harm..." Professor Oak tried to prove his innocence.

But he soon discovered that he had been spared by these three legendary Pokémon. They yawned, rummaged around and found a large peach, then left as a group.

Professor Oak, unperturbed by the neglect, became even more interested in them.

"That must be the Mythical Pokémon, Momo.

Professor Oak knew very little about Momotaro. In fact, he only started researching Momotaro after Kashiwagi used it in the Orei Champions League and made it public.

It turned out to be an extremely rare Mythical Pokémon.

What methods did Cypress use to subdue it?

unknown.

Professor Oak followed their trail and soon discovered a wooden cabin at the foot of the mountain, where a strangely dressed girl was fetching water.

Are there other people living in Platinum Silver Hill?

Just as he was getting curious, the girl who noticed his gaze looked over and screamed the instant their eyes met.

"Professor Oak! What are you doing here!"

In this world, there is almost no one who doesn't know Professor Oak.

Professor Oak wasn't surprised and greeted him with a chuckle, "Hello, I'm here at Kashiwagi's invitation."

"Oh! So you're a guest of Kashiwagi!" Mayari quickly introduced herself, saying that she was a friend of Kashiwagi and was practicing at Platinum Silver Mountain.

practice?

Professor Oak didn't understand at first, thinking that the other party was training for Pokémon battles.

Mayari invited Professor Oak to come inside and rest, but he declined.

He had only just begun exploring the Silver Mountain and was far from wanting to rest. However, when he saw his companions emerge from the cabin with normal expressions, he realized that they had a very close relationship with Kashiwagi.

Otherwise, why would the children freely enter each other's homes?

Soon, Balzac returned riding his valiant eagle. He was equally surprised by Professor Oak's visit and warmly invited him inside to rest.

Professor Oak, who originally planned to leave, chose to stay and rest in the cabin instead of staying with Pokémon, who was near the cabin.

He told the siblings frankly that he was exploring Mt. Silver and wanted to get to know the Pokémon there.

Upon hearing this, Balzac laughed and said, "Then you've come to the right place. Mt. Silver may not have much else, but it's full of rare Pokémon. You don't know, but a research institute has moved here from the north recently, and they're trying to breed Pokémon that are on the verge of extinction."

"The Xicui Ecological Research Institute? It's moved to Oure?"

Professor Oak said in surprise.

Barza was taken aback. "You know?"

"I just found out." Professor Oak deduced this from the Satsuki Zoroa in Kashiwagi's arms.

He's never even seen a real Pokémon from the Green Age!

The nearly sixty-year-old man stood up expectantly, "I won't disturb you any longer, I'll continue to wander around."

"Okay, have a safe trip." Balza smiled and saw him out.

Meanwhile, the babies were greeted by their little friends—

Hoopa, Shiny Gengar, and Dragapult siblings.

These fierce and wicked troublemakers often mingled and played together, and today, with Kashiwagi's return, was no exception.

Professor Oak couldn't resist taking a picture when he saw Hoopa. "Hoopa, the ancient Pokémon, is truly a rare existence."

The sound of the camera shutter caught Hoopa's attention, and it curiously flew around Professor Oak once. "Grandpa, who are you?"

"My name is Yukinari Oki, and I come from the Kanto region to visit Mt. Silver." Professor Oak replied with a smile.

Hoopa suddenly realized, "Oh, I see! You're a guest! Hoopa's name is Hoopa! Is there anything you'd like, sir? Hoopa would like to treat you!"

Professor Oak instinctively wanted to refuse, but then suddenly realized that this might be a chance to see Hoopa use his powers, so he said, "Anything is fine?"

"Everything—well, some things might not work."

Hupa scratched his head awkwardly.

It used to give away everything, which caused a lot of trouble. Over the years, it has weathered many storms and matured quite a bit, and it is not as prone to recklessness anymore.

Professor Oak smiled and said, "Then please bring me my teacup."

"A teacup? Good! The old man's teacup!"

Without hesitation, Hoopa activated the Golden Ring, quickly dropping a scalding hot teacup filled with tea into Professor Oak's hand.

Professor Oak nearly jumped up from the burn, but thankfully Mayari noticed in time and came to his aid. "I'm so sorry, Professor Oak! Are you alright?"

"Hu-pa-!!"

The voice, which sounded like it came from hell, made Hoopa tremble. "Eek! Hoopa seems to have made a mistake!"

It now basically doesn't dare to argue with Mayali.

Because Hoopa noticed that as Mayari got older, her temper seemed to be getting worse.

Although it does enjoy playing pranks, how can it always be so mean to such an adorable creature like itself?

I really wish the Mayari who used to play pranks with it would come back.

Hupa sighed.

After being relieved, Professor Oak laughed and said, "It's alright, it's alright. I was the one who made Hoopa do it, but it seems it couldn't summon what I wanted."

The teacup that fell from the golden wheel was not his.

Moreover, it was filled with boiling hot water.

“Hoopa’s abilities are quite complex, so what you need must be detailed, preferably with a corresponding photograph, so that it can be summoned accurately,” Mayali said softly.

Professor Oak understood now. He found a group photo on his phone, zoomed in on it, and showed it to Hoopa, indicating that they should use the photo to find the teacup located at Professor Oak's lab in Pallet Town.

However, Hoopa had no idea about Pallet Town or Oak's lab; it could only search based on pictures and eventually managed to pull out the teacup and hand it over.

"Is that right!"

"Yes!"

Professor Oak touched his teacup with delight, "Amazing!"

Hoopa proudly raised his head, "Hehehe, Hoopa is of course the best!"

Then, Professor Oak looked at the shattered teacup on the ground. "So this teacup is..."

"It's from Kashiwagi. It was gone right after he poured it out."

The phone rang.

Undoubtedly, after the teacup was summoned away by the golden wheel, it came to gather intelligence.

Upon hearing that it belonged to his good friend Xiaobai, Huba, who had been a little flustered, suddenly burst into carefree laughter.

Aside from Balza and Mayari, who grew up together, Kashiwagi is arguably its closest "peer" to it, even more so than its childhood friends in Genesis Valley.

The noisy little team scattered in a panic, leaving Mayali extremely worried.

After a brief conversation with the multi-faceted phone, Professor Oak continued his journey deeper into Mt. Silver, heading straight for the area with the most wild Pokémon.

Soon he discovered an unexpected Pokémon by a pond in the woods.

"Pokémon Spirit Horse!"

Compared to the Calycerin King, who left no legends, the Spirit Horse, which roamed the Crown Snowfield, became a legend of the Galar lands because it was often seen by travelers.

Professor Oak knew it was Calyrex's partner, so he looked around for the Pokémon.

Unfortunately, nothing was gained.

When he turned his head again, he was startled by the sudden approach of the spirit horse.

"Hissing..."

All that could be heard was a low hiss from the other party, and a faint mist suddenly appeared at the tip of its nose and was inhaled.

Professor Oak shuddered inexplicably, wondering if something had been done to him.

The terrible scene he had imagined did not happen. After the spirit horse "pecked" at him, it left silently, appearing and disappearing without a trace.

Professor Oak examined the body but found nothing unusual. "What could it be?"

Was life energy absorbed?

But I don't feel tired at all.

Professor Oak is often randomly drained of life energy by various Ghost-type Pokémon. He knows very well that a body will feel tired when its life energy is drained, but he doesn't feel it himself.

why?

Suddenly, a stumbling sound rang in my ears.

"It's here, it smells the scent of your soul..."

A white-haired, black shadow drifted through the woods. Professor Oak's heart leaped, then quickly subsided. "It's Darkrai... Hmm!?"

Darkrai!?

Professor Oak's eyes widened. Darkrai actually lives in Silver Mine?

The second Mythical Pokémon after Momotaros!

He wanted to communicate with him, but Klay disappeared after he finished speaking, giving him no chance at all.

This reminded Professor Oak of what it had said.

The scent of the soul?

He subconsciously sniffed his body and found no particular smell.

"never mind."

Professor Oak stopped worrying and slowly walked to the edge of the pond to look down, where he saw many Savage Bass.

At first glance, there seemed to be nothing unusual about them, but his keen observation quickly revealed that these savage bass had white stripes and white eyes.

“The Pokémon from the Greenery Ecological Research Institute.” Professor Oak quickly realized their origin.

Normally, the Savage Bass only has red and blue stripes, but according to Sinnoh's historical records, there was a Savage Bass with white stripes that evolved into a different form.

This has led many to believe that the white-striped savage bass may be a regional morphology, or even a morphology similar to that of the common savage bass.

For example, the agate jellyfish and the field jellyfish, the ground squirrel and the sea squirrel.

Professor Oak continued along the canal, wondering if he would have the chance to witness the evolution of the White-striped Savage Bass today.

Keep moving forward.

He encountered many wild Pokémon on his journey.

Professor Oak noticed that they always seemed to mistake him for Kashiwagi, and upon getting closer and realizing it wasn't him, they would immediately leave in disappointment.

With such a deep bond, could it be that Kashiwagi has already caught all these Pokémon?

My intuition tells Professor Oak that it's unlikely; there's probably some reason behind it that he can't understand.

After resting briefly on a large rock due to exhaustion along the way, he arrived at the end of the canal, where a large, shimmering lake lay.

On the distant lake shore, the emerald dragons, some frolicking and playing, others sleeping lazily, also came into his view.

"It's another Pokémon from the Greenery Era!"

Professor Oak perked up and rushed over without stopping.

But as he approached, he slowed his pace, not daring to disturb the group of big guys. His intuition told him that the Xi Cui Nian Mei Longs were not to be trifled with.

The same is true.

As a stranger, Professor Oak attracted attention as soon as he approached. Without saying a word, the guard, Midori, forcibly hugged him as he tried to explain, and wrapped him in a large amount of slime, turning him into a giant jelly.

Professor Oak nearly lost his breath, but thankfully Darkrai was watching him from the shadows, which is why he was spared.

"Cough cough cough..."

The 60-year-old man coughed up the mucus and quickly recovered his energetic appearance. He wasn't angry at the apologetic Xi ​​Cui Nian Meilong and laughed, "Xi Cui Nian Meilong's mucus is so special, it has a sweet taste!"

He was forced to eat quite a lot.

After a quick wash, Professor Oak took out his phone and took pictures of them for future research.

After observing Xi Cui Nian Meilong, he immediately went elsewhere.

Darkrai was puzzled by his tireless behavior. He had just been through so much trouble, didn't he get tired?

of course not.

Professor Oak even enjoyed it.

He hadn't been this happy in a long time, experiencing the joy of discovering treasures everywhere.

Just like Pokémon fans who get their hands on the latest generation of games, they are eager to encounter all sorts of new Pokémon.
