Pokémon: Hoenen Rage

Chapter 380 Thoughts on the Causes of Severe Climate (35)

After staying with Rai and Dr. Odamaki for a while, Cortna, who was bored, quietly slipped back to Naqi and Safiyah.

While marching, Naqi summoned the Sonic Dragon and the Armored Bird, demonstrating basic combat methods for Shafia, who was still very ignorant of combat techniques, mainly the three-dimensional air-to-ground mobile combat that she was good at.

The clever and powerful figures of the two Pokémon made young Safiya's eyes sparkle.

Immediately afterwards, Kuailong and Tropical Dragon were also summoned, showing off their strength in a hard bridge and hard horse manner.

This made Safiya feel even more handsome, and Coco Dora named Dorara was even more envious.

It was quite young. In the past few years, it had only been Safiya's partner without much training. Its strength was still seriously lacking. Seeing these powerful Pokémon, its fighting spirit was instantly ignited.

Seeing that she couldn't get in the conversation, Ketna could only release the wind speed dog, ride on its back, play with its soft hair, and pass the time.

······
"So, the doctor is also studying our climate problem in Hoenn?"

During the conversation, Len was surprised.In his impression, Dr. Odamaki was a Pokémon expert. Unexpectedly, he also had a strong interest in climate and environment.

"The habitat of Pokémon and the survival of people are inseparable from the climate and environment, especially for us Hoenn. If we don't understand the environment and improve the environment, many things cannot be figured out, let alone solved."

Dr. Odamaki took out a very detailed map of Hoenn, pointed at various places on the map, and explained it to Rai.

The difference in rainfall between the east and west of Hoenn is extremely obvious, and in recent decades there has been a trend of increasing in the east and decreasing in the west.

This makes the eastern jungle grow too fast, and it rains all year round in many places, which is not conducive to the survival of humans and most Pokémon, leading to a reduction in ecological diversity.

At the same time, the decreasing rainfall in the central and western regions has intensified the trend of drought and desertification, with the desert in the central No. 111 area as the center and spreading to the surrounding areas.

However, Dr. Odamaki and several of his colleagues at the Weather Research Institute have no clue as to the causes of these problems.

Even when Groudon and Kyogre were not rioting, the climate in Hoenn was always changeable, lacking continuity and a basis for prediction.

Lai was a little confused by the series of nouns, but he still understood the general content. As a layman, he didn't have much concern about this and frankly expressed his thoughts:
"Dr. Oda Scroll, I have an immature idea. You mentioned the impact of the existence of two legendary Pokémon on the environment, which is mainly expressed in the form of riot or restlessness of these two Pokémon. This is true. But is there a possibility that their very existence in the position where they currently sleep affects the climate of Hoenn?"

"Existence itself affects the climate?" Dr. Oda Scroll repeated Lai's deduction in a low voice, "If you explain it in detail, you can also combine your knowledge of these two Pokémon."

Lai shook his head: "I don't know much about these two Pokémon. I can only give you a rough opinion. I know that their appearance will bring extreme weather. This is their instinctive reaction." . In this case, wouldn’t this instinctive reaction continue to work during the sleep process?”

"This is a very good idea. I think everyone at the Weather Research Institute will be interested in it." Dr. Odamaki gently scratched his chin, "However, they are sleeping on the seabed in the southwest, under the ground of a continent, and with chimney volcanoes In the huge leyline with the center as the center, the specific location is difficult to ascertain.”

"Yes, so this is also the difficulty. Maybe the scholars at the Weather Research Institute can gain something?"

"Compared with the causes of climate, they have actually been studying instruments to control the weather over the years. Whether it is the mountain people in the west or the forest people in the east, they are all supporting them with all their strength. After all, they are the ones who change the climate. Very urgent need.”

"I don't think this is easy, and it's also very dangerous. During one of my expeditions, an ancient civilization that has perished gave me a lot of inspiration."

Lai flashed the small round bead on his left wrist.

"Ancient civilization? My understanding of them is based on myths and legends from other areas."

This topic touched upon Dr. Odamaki's knowledge blind spot. However, he was very curious about it and asked many questions.

In just one question and one answer, Lycoris's life was roughly told.

······
"Nature, civilization and gods? That is indeed the question."

After listening to the last story of that ancient civilization, Dr. Oda Scroll felt a little heavy in his heart.

The same problem is happening in today's world, but the degree is much better.

Rai concluded: "I don't deny that it is possible to defeat the gods through extremely strong personal strength, but this is not a long-term solution."

"So, you came here to discuss this matter with the researchers at the Weather Research Institute?"

"No, I don't have this plan yet. But maybe I will in the future." "Oh? Oh! I understand, that's right. You, a young and promising trainer, must have your own pursuits."

"Pursuit is out of the question, I just have some more urgent things to do, and right now, I don't have the ability to do the big things we just mentioned."

Just as he was talking, it suddenly started to rain in the sky.

"Big-billed Gull, please drive away the rain clouds."

Len took out the Poké Ball, a white light flashed, and the big-billed gull rose into the sky.

"Bey!—"

In the high-pitched cry, the extraordinary power was unreservedly displayed, the rain clouds cleared, and the sun shone on the earth again.

"Thank you for your hard work."

After gently patting the beak of the big-billed gull that came over to take credit, Rai praised it.

"Bay!"

"Okay, got it. You go catch fish later, and I'll continue to roast it for you at night."

"Bay (*^▽^*)"

With a "swish" sound, the big-billed gull flew towards the northwest.

"What a strong big-billed gull."

Dr. Odawaki, who was about to take out his rain gear, froze in place.

"Small tricks, you're making a fool of yourself."

Lai waved politely.

"If a friend of mine sees your strength, he will definitely fight against you for [-] rounds."

"Who is your friend?"

"He is my classmate when I was studying in Kanto. His home is in the Johto area. After a while, you may have a chance to meet him. He is coming soon. The alliance intends to invite him to be the head of the museum first. Then he will serve as the Four Kings of the Alliance in the future."

"Oh? I remember that the eight official gyms in the Fengyuan region all have inheritances. Which gym is your friend going to take over?"

"This news has not been made public yet. It is the Fusion Gym in Chenghua City."

"."

"What, do you know each other?"

"Exactly, I fought side by side with Senior Shengo not long ago. His injury is more serious, but he should be able to recover."

"Well, the old gym leader Shenwu is already old, and there are no apprentices in the gym who are qualified to take on big responsibilities. The alliance has decided to temporarily invite a master to take over the job. If the opportunity is suitable in the future, he can take over again."

"So that's the case, thank you doctor for telling me."

"This is nothing. Since you recognize him and have such strength, you must be preparing to win a chance to challenge the Four Heavenly Kings at the alliance conference, right? If this is the case, you will be exposed to such information sooner or later. "

"I accept your good words."

During the conversation, they arrived at the location of the expedition team organized by Dr. Odamaki. Several researchers who had been waiting for a long time immediately gathered around and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the doctor was safe and sound.

"Safiya has gone too far and made everyone worried. I'm really sorry." Dr. Odamaki showed an apologetic smile, "These three are young trainers we met by chance, Rai, Naki and Kurt. Na, I ask them to return to the Weather Research Institute with us so that they can be taken care of on the way."
