Chapter 623 Hoopa
"Heroes Expedition Team?" Hupa muttered and repeated the word, not understanding it.
Meng Meng nodded happily: "miu!" (It is a team that travels around the world to help Pokémon in trouble!)
Victini nodded: "Nini!" (Yes! We have helped many Pokémon in need!)
"Wow!" Hupa's eyes were filled with admiration: "It sounds so awesome!"
But then, a sad expression appeared on its face again.
"Hupa also wants to help others, but Hupa always messes up things..."
For example, just now, it wanted to help Grandpa Dam, who was suffering from drought, summon rain to irrigate the fields, but instead it summoned a bunch of candies.
And when the children in the village asked it to summon the Zhenshi to suppress the kneaded dough, it used its halo to pull out a rumble stone...
"miu..." Mew thought carefully, and then said to Hupa: "miu!" (As long as you work hard, you will definitely get things done!)
Hupa seemed to be comforted. He felt that he was very connected with the Pokémon in front of him, so he asked curiously:
"How did you come to this place?"
Dream: "miu!" (Because we are traveling!)
"Travel?" Hupa's eyes lit up: "Then have you been to many places? Hupa has never left the village. What is the outside world like? Can you talk to Hupa?"
Hoopa never left the Valley of Creation?
After hearing this, whether it was Mew, Baby Bear, or Victini, they immediately felt that this Pokémon was so pitiful.
So, they happily agreed.
"miu!" (Of course you can!)
Baby Bear looked around, then found an open space, pointed over there and said, "One, one, one!" (Just go there!)
Several Pokémon flew over together.
Old man Dam looked at this scene with a smile. Hupa had made a good friend again!
Alas, this child is so pitiful. He has been sealed in this place and has never been able to go out and play.
However, he had recently heard that the little girl Mayali and her brother Balza planned to take Hupa to leave the Valley of Creation to find a way to help Hupa lift the seal.
Hope they can succeed!
In the open space, Hupa listened to Dream and Baby Bear telling them about the things they encountered during their travels, while eating snacks brought by Baby Bear.
After listening to the story, Hupa also finished the snacks.
"As delicious as Hoopa's donuts!" Hoopa was very excited.
He felt that he had become good friends with these Pokémon, so he happily invited:
"You told Hoopa stories and shared snacks with Hoopa. Hoopa will also share his favorite donuts with you! Come with me!"
Under the leadership of Hupa, a group of Pokémon soon arrived in front of a wooden building.
Hupa shouted from a distance: "Mayali, Balza, Hupa is back with his new good friend!"
The door was opened, and a girl with pigtails, a blue headscarf, and traditional clothes and a boy with a red headscarf and boots came out of the house.
Mayali and Balza were stunned when they saw the scene outside the door.
Mayali covered her mouth and exclaimed: "Those Pokémon are...!"
"Dream, Baby Bear, and Lightning Bird." Balza calmly said their names.
As for the other one...
"Nini!" Victini quickly introduced himself.
"It's called Victini!" Hupa helped translate on the side, and then said impatiently: "Mayali! Hupa wants to eat donuts!"
Seeing Hupa's appearance, the girl named Mayali chuckled and nodded: "Okay."
Although they were a little surprised by Hupa's new friends, the brother and sister politely invited them to their home.
Mayali went to get the donuts, and Balza asked, "Where is your trainer?"
"miu?" Meng Meng was a little confused, trainer?
Seeing this, Balza couldn't help but murmur in his heart, could it be that these Pokémon are wild Pokémon?
But...how did they come together?
"They are the Heroes Expedition Team!" Hupa took the initiative to help introduce: "They are an organization that travels around the world to help Pokémon in need. They just helped Grandpa Dam summon rain to irrigate farmland!"
Heroes... expedition team?
Balza was shocked, what kind of organization is this?
And it doesn’t look like these Pokémon have a trainer around them. How on earth is this done? !
At this time, Mayali came out carrying several donuts.
“Please enjoy it!”
She placed the donuts in front of several Pokémon, and she and her brother watched tenderly as the Pokémon ate.
Hupa ate very happily, looking like a snack foodie.
The brother and sister looked at each other for a while, and then continued to do their own business.
Mayali went to pack her clothes and pack the things she would take with her for this trip.
Balza looked at the map and said to his sister:
"After leaving the Valley of Creation, you take Hupa directly to Desert City. I will go find the Pot of Punishment. We will meet in Desert City then."
Mayali's expression also became solemn: "Well, be careful."
Hupa, who was eating donuts on the side, was attracted by this conversation.
He immediately looked up, his eyes full of excitement and expectation: "Mayali, are we going out to play?"
Mayali reached out and touched his little head, and replied softly: "Yes, this time we go out, in addition to taking you outside to have a look, we also have to solve your problems."
"Hupa's problem?" Hoopa was a little puzzled.
Mayali explained: "A hundred years ago, your real power was sealed up. As long as you find it, you can restore your real power."
"Real power?"
"Well, my brother will go to find it, and I will take you to Desert City." Meiyali said,
"Desert City?" Hoopa was very excited: "Hupa will eat a lot of donuts!"
Mayali smiled: "Of course."
Seeing this scene, Dream, Baby Bear and Victini looked at each other.
They immediately remembered what Naoki had said before.
Hoopa is now sealed up, and only by helping it to remove the seal can it regain its true power.
So, Hoopa should also need their help now, right?
Thinking of this, Menghuan immediately said: "Miu!" (We are here to help too!)
"Eh? You guys are going to Desert City with Hoopa?" Hoopa was a little surprised.
"Mei, mei!" Baby Bear nodded, because everyone is a good friend!
"Good friends, good friends! Hoopa is so happy! Okay, then let's go together!" Hoopa flew up happily.
A smile appeared on Meiyali's face.
"Meiyali, Menghuan and the others said they want to go over to help too! Hoopa is so happy!" Hoopa said.
Meiyali was slightly stunned: "Eh?"
"If all that is true, they may be able to protect you and Hoopa for me." Balza thought calmly and looked at the Pokémon in front of him: "Meow, Victini, Baby Bear, and Zapdos, I would like to ask you to escort Meiyali and Hoopa to Desert City for me. When everything is over, I will thank you very much."
"Miu!" Mengyue nodded happily.
That afternoon, Meiyali and Balza left the Valley of Creation with Hoopa.
The brother and sister parted at the entrance of the desert. Balza went to the depths of the desert alone to find the pot of punishment, while Meiyali took Hoopa and went to Desert City with the Great Hero Expedition Team.
There, it was the starting point of everything.
Watching Balza riding the Warrior Eagle to fly away, Meiyali couldn't help but pray silently in his heart.
Brother, please find the pot of punishment.

Padia area, Naoki Ranch, back mountain
Autumn leaves are flying all over the sky and "blooming" everywhere, red, orange, yellow, green, as if the earth has been overturned.
Every time this season comes, many delicious wild mushrooms will grow in the back mountain.
The temperature in autumn has gradually dropped. At this time, it is best to drink a bowl of hot mushroom soup to warm up the body.
There are still some dried mushrooms left at home that were dried last year. Use them to stew a pot of delicious chicken stewed with mushrooms. Just thinking about it makes people drool.
Under the shadow of the tree canopy, between the moist tree roots covered with humus soil, there are clusters of plump and tender mushrooms growing vigorously.
"Oh, it's hazel mushrooms again, and there is a bumper harvest of hazel mushrooms this year!"
Naoki went forward to pick it and put it in the basket. Gulton on the side has hung a full bamboo basket filled with wild mushrooms.
The legendary god of the past has become a dedicated mushroom car.
"Ah, gah..."
Naoki skillfully put the pile of hazel mushrooms on Guldun, then touched its head and said, "Let's go home!"
The man and the Pokémon then set off towards the pasture.
I don't know if it's because of the Bud Crown or the forest fire that year, the vegetation on the back mountain has become more and more lush recently.
The bushes are dense, the fruits are abundant, the branches are lush, and the river is winding.
The abundant water source, dense vegetation, and sufficient food have attracted many grass-attribute Pokémon and other Pokémon to settle here.
This also led to the Pokémon ecology near the back mountain getting better and better, and it felt like a nature reserve.
On the way back, Naoki also saw the fruit trees that he and the Pokémon planted that year, which have now grown wildly into a fruit forest.
Many wild Pokémon are gathering here.
Like Greedy Chinchilla, Walking Grass, Beautiful Flower, Colorful Butterfly, Lily Root Doll, and Pachirisu.
Naoki even saw a rare lady with skirt dancing in the wild flowers.
The lady with skirt saw him and Gultun, and turned around and ran away, not knowing whether she was shy or scared.
Naoki smiled and shook his head, and then continued to go down the mountain with Gultun.
They returned to the pasture, and Motor Lizard and his brother Ai Guanshi stepped forward to take the bamboo basket from Gultun.
"Okay, you guys go play, leave this to me!"
Naoki sat under the eaves sorting mushrooms, and not far away, Xiaoshu was lying on Yan Di and sleeping soundly.
Farther away, Dragonite was leaning against a big tree and snoring.
Salt Stone Giant Spirit and Frost Milk Fairy quietly enjoyed the pleasant afternoon time on the grass.
Babuda sat on the roof of the chicken coop with Meltans and watched the hens strolling by the river.
Several Eevees were chasing and playing on the grass.
The air was filled with a relaxed and leisurely atmosphere, and Naoki felt at ease.
After sorting the mushrooms, Naoki picked out some to make soup and stir-fry in the evening, and put the other batch on the basket, and asked Gulton to take him to the roof, put them there to dry, and store them for winter consumption.
After doing all this, because the weather was so good, Naoki couldn't help but take a nap.
When he woke up again, it was already 4:50 in the afternoon.
Zach drove his big truck to the ranch to collect the goods, and Naoki moved today's goods over to sell.
Seeing Xiaoshu, Zach smiled and squatted forward: "Xiaoshu, do you know who your uncle is?"
Xiaoshu was frightened by the rough uncle in front of him and hid back in fear.
Zach: "..."
Is he that scary?
Zach scratched his head in confusion. All children are like this. He smiled heartily, took out a few candies that children love from his pocket, and said to Xiaoshu:
"Here, uncle gave you a gift! Don't cry!"
Xiaoshu refused to take it.
Naoki stepped forward to take it for her: "Xiaoshu is still young and is a bit shy."
"It's normal. It will be fine when she grows up a little bit." Zach counted the goods, then took out the Rotom phone and fiddled with it for a while, and soon said: "Here, today's money has been transferred to you!"
"Okay, thank you for your hard work!"
Zach grinned, then got in the car and said goodbye to Naoki through the car window: "Let's go!"
"Pah pah!"
Xiaoshu crawled over and stretched out his arms for Naoki to hold.
Naoki picked her up and walked towards home. After returning to the living room, he put her on the carpet in front of the fireplace.
"Play with your toys with Motor Lizard. Mom is about to get off work, and Dad is going to prepare dinner." Naoki touched Xiaoshu's head.
"Gaao~"
Xiaoshu was well-behaved. She sat on the carpet and started playing with the toys that Zhishu bought for her with Motorcycle Lizard.
Zhishu went to the kitchen and started preparing dinner.
This morning he bought fresh three-yellow chicken from the town, and kept it for the evening to make chicken stewed with mushrooms.
Wash the chicken, cut it into pieces, and then put it into the casserole with mushrooms.
After a while, the casserole was filled with gurgling sounds, and then the aroma of chicken mixed with the strong aroma of mushrooms floated out.
"What smells so good?"
Qishu walked in from outside, looking towards the kitchen with curiosity.
"Chicken stewed with wild mushrooms, I tell you, it's delicious. I made it once before, and they drank up all the soup." Zhishu replied with a smile.
"Wow, I'll have to taste it later!" Qishu's tone was full of anticipation.
"Of course, no problem!"
It's almost October now, and the Padia League will enter its off-season in a while. At that time, gym leaders from all over the country will also take a vacation.
Thinking of this, Naoki asked, "Let's go to the Alola region to spend the winter this year!"
By then, Xiaoshu will be eleven months old, and we can take him out to play. It's colder in the Padia region, but warmer in the Alola region. It's just right for the family to go to the beach to pick up crabs and build sand castles.
