On a high ground to the east of Curtain City, the crater is located here.
Because this place is the source of the development of the entire city, the area where the crater is located has been protected and developed by the local government and has become a famous attraction.
Even though it was almost evening when Qingliu arrived, there were still many people around.
"Tweet~"
The green cotton bird lying on top of Qingliu's head saw so many people for the first time, and he called twice with some restraint.
"It's okay, don't be nervous. Everyone is here to relax with their family, friends and Pokémon."
Qingliu comforted him a little.
Then Qingliu felt that the green cotton bird that was lying quietly on his head as a hat swayed from side to side twice, and its two little chicken claws opened and closed, gently scratching his hair, as if trying to catch something.
"Are you looking for Greymon?"
"Chirp."
Seeing the green cotton bird nodding, Qingliu said with a smile: "It went back to rest in the poke ball. We can see it when we go back later."
The green cotton bird suddenly called twice helplessly.
This made Qingliu a little confused.
Is it because he saw himself and Greymon at the same time when he broke out of his shell, so the intimacy level was divided by half, or is it because the horn on the top of Greymon's head was used as a foothold by the Green Sheep Bird, so it's a bit close?
Qingliu was puzzled.
But that's okay. From the time I met Greymon until now, I have only noticed his physical condition related to fighting, ignoring its mental state. Even if I have been cheering it up recently, after all, many things are the first time. Experience, just like Kakugo's this time, the psychological defense line is not built thoroughly enough, and it is easy to produce negative emotions.
Now that there are cute little guys like the Green Cotton Bird to neutralize it, it may have a good easing effect.
Qingliu was thinking as he stepped over the stone stairs and arrived at the crater.
The breeze blew and the grass swayed, but the four brown meteorites stayed quietly in place. Just by glancing at them, you can feel the breath of time on the surface of the meteorites that seems to have been carried from eternity.
Qingliu was very satisfied with something that met the requirements at first glance.
[Ancient traces detected...Search target...]
【searching……】
[The target has been locked - a meteorite with a trace of Arceus' power remaining]
[Exploration progress: 0%...10%...20...25%]
【Exploration completed】
"Aren't these four meteorites separate individuals, but a whole?"
After seeing that the progress bar was completely stuck at 25%, Qingliu turned to another meteorite next to him.
[Exploration progress: 25%...34%...50%...]
Following the same pattern, when Qingliu's eyes fell on the fourth meteorite, the progress bar finally reached 100%.
[The exploration is completed and can be summoned.]
[Summon object——random]
【whether】
Aoyagi looked past the prompts on the panel, looked around, and finally put it aside for the time being.
There are too many people around. If you summon here, you will definitely be noticed, but if a big guy appears, it will be even more troublesome.
After finishing his work, Qingliu immediately planned to leave.
Not far away, a somewhat childish voice suddenly came.
"stop!"
Qingliu stopped when he heard this.
Not far away, a young man with gray trousers, a blue-black jacket, and rose-purple hair was running towards his location.
Next to him, followed a turtle with a yellow-green body, a brown carapace on its back, and a newly sprouted sapling on the spot on its head.
With this appearance and this combination, Aoyagi immediately thought of the other party's identity - Shinji.
Shinji quickly ran up to him, panting heavily but keeping his eyes on himself.
"Just... you were the one who made my brother temporarily change his mind about challenging the Sinnoh Alliance with me, right?"
"Ur!"
Shinji questioned, and the turtle next to him also responded aggressively.
Originally, he planned to receive the starter Pokémon and set off on a journey to challenge the Sinnoh region with his respected brother Leisi.
But when he got the Grass Turtle and went to Leiji yesterday, Leiji told him that he wanted to go to the Kanto region to experience first, improve his level and strength, and then come back to challenge the Sinnoh League. This sudden change Shinji couldn't accept it for a while.
So he began to think about what caused his brother's change. Finally, after asking many questions about someone who defeated his brother and showed up at his house today, he immediately chased him out regardless of his father's dissuasion.
"Don't be silent, I'm asking you a question, answer me!"
Aoyagi looked at Shinji who had a completely different impression, and couldn't help but feel interesting.
Before they were beaten up by the gods, these two brothers really had opposite personalities.
Then he said: "Didn't your father tell you that it is rude not to introduce yourself before asking others questions?"
"ah?"
Shinji was obviously stunned, and looked at each other with Kusanao Kame. After Kame didn't know it, he quickly said: "My name is Shinji, and my goal is to become a powerful trainer."
"Woo! Woo!"
Seeing the cute reactions of these two people, Qingliu said: "My name is Qingliu, a homeless man, and this is Qingmianniao."
After introducing himself, Shinji couldn't wait to say again: "You haven't answered my question just now!"
"I don't know, but I feel that your brother may have been hit. After all, he couldn't defeat one of me with four Pokémon. It's normal to travel to another area to avoid me."
"You're talking nonsense!"
After hearing Aoyagi's words, Shinji immediately retorted: "My brother is so powerful, even if he loses, there is no way that four of him can defeat you."
"Believe it or not, it's up to you."
Qingliu spread his hands and said, "Okay, I don't have time to play with the little kid now."
"Don't leave! If you are so powerful, do you dare to fight me?"
Shinji clenched his fists and said excitedly.
After hearing this, Kusanagi immediately rushed to the front of Shinji and faced Aoyagi, getting into a posture ready to fight at any time.
"I told you I don't have time. Goodbye."
Ignoring Shinji's invitation, Aoliu turned around and left.
Seeing that Aoyagi really had no intention of accepting or turning back, Shinji suddenly became anxious: "Why don't you dare to accept the battle? Are you afraid? You coward, I'm afraid the story of defeating my brother is also a lie!"
"Ur woo!"
He muttered to Qingliu's back like a grass sprout and a tortoise.
Qingliu, who had walked out for almost ten meters, shook his head helplessly.
He had been tired of this low-level provoking method since he was a child, so how could it possibly be useful to him.
The next thing to do is to go to the gym competition, defeat Kakugo and get a solution for Greymon to solve the problem of its own inability to learn moves, instead of this kind of child's play.
But what Aoyagi didn't expect was that he did not fall for the provocation of Shinji and Kusanagi, but... he didn't come alone.
