AWB Chapter 384 Grass Field Area
Chapter 384 Grass Field Area
"I have a choice of elf eggs. Could you please pick one for me?"
It was the senior student who said this, and she asked Zhang Heng with a pleading tone.
"Why? You need my help in picking Pokémon eggs? I should have learned the same knowledge as you. I haven't even been a trainer as long as you."
Qi Shu said, "Hey, Brother Xiaoheng, was it me who asked Sister Su to beg you?"
Zhang Heng has a system, so he won't make mistakes when choosing elf eggs, but how did they know...
"Brother Xiaoheng, you forgot. I also knew about it when you helped Sister Yishu pick out Pokémon eggs in the Water Wilderness Area."
"Furthermore, the Water Wilds recently released a report on the qualifications of Pokémon eggs. Among the nearly four hundred Pokémon eggs in the same batch as the Sea Lion, only thirteen were of the Celestial King rank, and the Sea Lion was one of them."
Zhang Heng suddenly realized that he had never known that the qualifications of the Pokémon eggs would be announced in the Wild Area.
Zhang Heng smiled and said, "It's hard to guard against thieves in your own home. In order to find a candidate for your Bug-type gym, you're selling me out, right?"
"Of course not. I believe Brother Xiaoheng is the best person. He will definitely help us with this. He must have his own opinions on selecting elves."
Zhang Heng nodded helplessly. "Okay, but which wilderness area should we go to to pick Pokémon eggs?"
Senior Sister Su's eyes lit up, and she quickly said, "The Grass-type wilderness area in Goose City, I... am only eligible to choose from there."
The pink Magnemite headdress on Qishu's head shook, and he excitedly agreed: "Where there's a lot of Grass-type energy, Bug-type Pokémon should be pretty good too!"
Zhang Heng thought for a moment and replied, "Okay, let's go to the Goose City Grassland Area. There's no competition tomorrow, so let's leave early."
Senior Su smiled gratefully: "Thank you so much! By the way, Qishu, how about staying in my dorm tonight? We can set off straight away tomorrow morning."
Qi Shu immediately took her arm and said, "Great! I just wanted to talk to you more about the battle!" The two smiled at each other, said goodbye to Zhang Heng, and left together.
Zhang Heng tossed and turned in bed. The electronic clock on the bedside was glowing with a faint blue light, showing 11:17.
The night wind outside the window blew through the treetops, making a rustling sound, but it could not cover up the thoughts that kept circling in his mind.
Suddenly, the communication device on the bedside table vibrated violently, the unfamiliar number glaring in the darkness. Zhang Heng frowned, and after a moment's hesitation, he answered the call.
"Zhang Heng, I hope I didn't disturb your rest." A tired yet somewhat familiar voice came from the receiver, with the unique noise of electricity.
"Brother Minhui? No, I won't go to bed so early. What's the matter?" Zhang Heng sat up, his fingers unconsciously stroking the corner of the quilt.
The figure in my memory who wore glasses and was always calm and composed, now had an indelible fatigue hidden in his voice.
There was silence on the other end of the phone for two seconds, as if he was choosing his words. "I heard from Duan Guanjun that you have a way to deal with Kyurem." Min Hui's voice suddenly became low.
"You should still remember my second brother, Minyu." His voice trembled slightly. "You also know... he died in the camp in Antarctica..."
"Ah~" Zhang Heng sighed inwardly. When he saw Min Hui in the ward during the day, he guessed that the disaster had left an indelible scar in the hearts of the Min brothers.
Listening to the other party's suppressed hatred at this moment, he seemed to see Min Hui's clenched fists, his knuckles turning white due to the force.
"Brother Minhui, I do have some ideas." Zhang Heng took a deep breath, "But Kyurem is too powerful, and the restrictions of the Divine Beast Field could be lifted at any time. Any rash action would only..."
"I don't care!" Min Hui suddenly interrupted him, his voice filled with determination to burn his boats.
"I really don't want to wait any longer. I'm afraid the longer it takes, the less courage I'll have to face Kyurem. But as long as I can avenge Ayu, I'm willing to risk my life!"
After a long silence, his tone softened again, "Zhang Heng, I know this is selfish. But... this is the only thought I have left."
The two exchanged a few words, and Zhang Heng promised him that if there was any progress in Dynamaxing, he would give Min Hui priority. After Min Hui received Zhang Heng's promise, a suppressed sob came from the other end of the line, followed by a long sigh: "Thank you... Thank you, Zhang Heng."
"Also... please don't tell Fang Xin yet. He's just started college, and I don't want him to take on too much. As their eldest brother, I should protect them..."
...........................
At seven o'clock in the morning, the sun shone obliquely on the earth. The suspended train that Zhang Heng, Senior Sister Su and Qi Shu were riding on slowly stopped at the station in the grassland area of Echeng.
The moment he left the station, a warm breeze carrying the fragrance of grass and soil blew in his face, mixed with subtle energy fluctuations that brushed across his skin, and the little Magnemite headdress on Qi Shu's head trembled slightly.
After passing through the ticket gate, the view suddenly opened up. The rolling grass waves spread out to the sky like a green ocean.
The layered hills in the distance were shrouded in milky white morning mist, and giant tree houses were rooted in the treetops in an orderly manner. From time to time, grass-type Pokémon such as Cottonseed and Flowerweed flew across the sky together.
Every blade of grass here was filled with vibrant energy. Zhang Heng could even see pale green light particles suspended in the air, lingering around them like fireflies.
"This is the Grass Wilderness Area?" He couldn't hide his amazement. "It's even more spectacular than I imagined."
Before she finished speaking, a group of walking grasses came jumping around, with crystal dewdrops hanging on their round bodies, looking very cute.
Zhang Heng noticed the tourists walking around. Some were holding professional cameras to record Pokémon, while others were discussing the breeding plan for Pokémon eggs with the staff.
In stark contrast to the heavily guarded atmosphere of the water wilderness area, this place is more like a large ecological theme park - stalls selling grass-type Pokémon souvenirs are lined up one after another.
A holographic projection played images of Pokémon eggs hatching in a loop in mid-air, and the electronic screen scrolled in real time the types and prices of Pokémon eggs available for purchase.
"This is a profitable wilderness area certified by the Alliance," Senior Sister Su explained. "Over 300,000 trainers come here every year to select Pokémon eggs, and a portion of the proceeds goes back into Pokémon conservation efforts."
Zhang Heng nodded. He knew that Pokémon Eggs could be purchased in the Wilderness, but they were quite expensive. He wondered how the senior sister, with her financial situation, could qualify.
"Actually, I earned this qualification last year. Thanks to the performance of Snow Moth and Snow Fairy, I made it into the top 100 of the academy last year. However... even though I selected the elves, I didn't have the corresponding funds to cultivate them, so I never came."
In fact, Zhang Heng has a very good impression of his senior sister. Although she is poor, she never complains about anything. On the contrary, she is very strong inside. Zhang Heng once thought that she is the lucky heroine in this world.
She pointed to the intelligent shopping guide robot in the distance and said, "Just scan your qualification certificate and you can enter the selection area. But..."
She suddenly lowered her voice and said, "It is said that truly precious eggs require special permissions to unlock, so I can only rely on your help and try my luck."
As he was speaking, a petite and cute sweet dancer came walking on the morning dew, with light pink petals falling behind it.
The trainer badge on Sweet Dancer's neck is different from that of other wild Pokémon. It is obviously a "service Pokémon" domesticated by the Wild Area officials and is specifically responsible for guiding tourists.
"Nini~"
It bowed slightly to the three people and raised its hand to signal them to follow. The grass-paved path automatically extended under their feet, leading to the magnificent main building in the grass wilderness area.
