Chapter 438: Three Treasures Accompanying Grandchildren at the B&B
Because it was daytime, Lingyouma, whose vision had deteriorated to a certain extent, could hardly see the things around him.

Fortunately, even though its vision has deteriorated, Ponyta's other five senses are much sharper than those of ordinary Pokémon.

Even if it cannot see, the Lingyou Horse can still correctly grasp the terrain and the location of creatures by detecting the surrounding situation through its other senses.

After all, it is an area famous for its agriculture. Although there are no wide roads, there is still a road leading to Beishang Township.

Thanks to this, Luo Mu was able to let the Lingyou Horse gallop forward along this road, while he chewed fruit worms on his head, carried the Mimikyu on his shoulder, and read the Beishang Township brochure he brought from the airport.

There were actually quite a few vehicles entering and leaving Beishang Township on the road, and they all looked at Luo Mu riding the Lingyou horse with curiosity, attracting a lot of attention.

Although Luo Mu had checked the information in advance, the information on the Internet was not 100% accurate. On the contrary, the travel brochures that were frequently changed at the airport basically contained information that was not outdated.

After browsing it, most of the information is similar to the information in Luo Mu's memory, but there are also many details.

Beishang Township is far from being a region; it is even just a corner of a region.

At the same time, the name of the town for people living in Beishang Township is Cuilv Town, and Beishang Township is the general name for an area composed of multiple terrains, radiating far outward from Cuilv Town.

Beishang Township is surrounded by towering mountains, and the area at the foot of the mountains is where people live. Due to the rich natural resources, this independent town in the mountains has been passed down.

The fruitworm, who was enjoying the rare breeze blowing by as the Spirit Horse galloped, noticed what Luo Mu was looking at. It cautiously poked half of its body out of the apple and stared curiously at the brochure in Luo Mu's hand.

When Luo Mu turned the page to the photo of Apple Hill, the origin of Beishang Township's specialty apples, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Crack!"

It knows that once it gets there, it will complete its evolution.

The Mimic Hill on Luo Mu's shoulder was a little envious of the fruit worms.

I seem to be the kind of Pokémon that has been unable to evolve since my birth. I have seen so many of my companions evolve and heard them talk about the feeling of evolution. It would be a lie to say that I am not envious.

but.

Mimikyu looked down at the beautiful decorations on her body, and her little face hidden in the puppet skin blushed slightly.

This is enough for me.

The brochure is very thin, with only about a dozen pages. Apart from a few pages introducing the environment of Beishang Township, most of the content describes anecdotes and legends passed down by word of mouth among the residents of Beishang Township.

"It is said that a long time ago, there was a very scary ghost in Kitakami Township.

The ghost lurks in the hills behind the village, and usually plays mischievous tricks on people who go into the hills to pick wild herbs.

But suddenly one day, the ghost became furious and suddenly came down the mountain, causing the villagers to panic.

At that time, Gouzangou, Yuanzenyuan and Jiji happened to be staying in the village. The three Pokémon, who saw injustice and helped, risked their lives and finally drove the ghost back to the mountains.

Since then, the villagers have given these three brave Pokémon a new name. Everyone affectionately calls them Pokémons, burying their remains with great respect, building statues of Pokémons on top, and establishing the Pokémon Square.

This is the legend of Baoban that has been passed down from generation to generation in Beishang Township.

Unfortunately, the brochure only mentions this story. There are no pictures of the so-called Three Treasures' appearance or the statue, as if a certain degree of cover-up was done deliberately to arouse tourists' curiosity.

After all, half-covering one's face is more likely to attract people's curiosity than exposing it completely.

Ghost, there are also Gouzangou, Yuanzengyuan and Jijiji. There are four Pokémon that I have never heard of. Add to that the Heyue that Shali mentioned, this Beishang Township is interesting.

Could it be the DLC content that I haven't played, or some part of the new area?
Could that so-called ghost be some kind of ghost-type Pokémon?

Three against one and killing three, it's just like the villain boss in the game, and it even directly killed the villain boss of the hero. How powerful is it? Could it be the legendary Pokémon?
Adding He Yue and the various specialties of Beishang Township, Luo Mu admitted that he became more and more interested in Beishang Township.

The Lingyou horse was very fast, and before dinner time, Luo Mu saw the outline of Cuilv Town in Beishang Township.

In the distance are rolling mountains. The tops of the mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist and covered with lush green vegetation.

Nearby, beside the road leading into the town, a clear stream flows around the town, the sound of the gurgling water blending with the chirping of unknown bird Pokémon in the distance.

In order to allow Luo Mu to see more clearly, Lingyou Horse flew into the sky on the soul-like floating mist, as if it was walking in the air.

Amid the exclamations of the fruitworms and the mimic hills, Luo Mu looked out at the Green Town built at the foot of the mountain.

The town style of the entire Cuilv Town looks like a very standard Japanese single-family house, full of rural charm.

Looking a little further away, apart from the huge forest of unknown depth, the hills near Cuilv Town are planted with apple trees. The green leaves and red apples are intertwined, which looks extremely pleasing to the eye.

There is also the "Wisteria Pond" in "Wisteria Plain" which is called "Six Selections of North" in the brochure and seems to be somewhat similar to the "Ten Views of Padia".

"what."

It was not until Luo Mu looked at the top of the farthest mountain that he could not help but let out a light exclamation.

Was it his illusion that the top of the mountain seemed to be glowing?
After a while.

After enjoying the scenery, Luo Mu let Lingyouma land first.

After all, because they stayed in the air for quite a while, the villagers of Cuilv Town who were outside at the moment noticed the presence of Luo Mu and Lingyouma, and they all stretched their necks to look up at the sky.

Luo Mu, who came here purely for a trip, didn't want to be so high-profile that everyone in Cuilv Town knew about him before he even checked into the hotel.

I simply stopped thinking about the glow on the top of the mountain and patted Lingyou Horse's neck, letting it land first.

After landing, Luo Mu first used the Poké Ball to retrieve the Ponyta, then walked directly into Emerald Town with his bag on his back, with the fruitworm on his head and the Mimikyu on his shoulder, without changing his expression, under the watchful eyes of many townspeople.

He didn't notice that two of the villagers who were watching were staring at his back until he disappeared.

In the green town.

Although it was in the countryside, the roads in Cuilv Town were well-signposted. With the reminder message from Shali, Luo Mu quickly found where he was going to live for the next few days.

From the outside, it looks like an ordinary single-family house, but in fact, it is a homestay run by the residents of Cuilv Town in their spare time.

The architectural style follows the overall style of Cuilv Town, which is neither prominent nor ugly.

With Sha Li's strong recommendation, Luo Mu finally did not choose the community center in Cuilv Town, but chose this unnamed B&B.

"I hope there is a separate hot spring." Luo Mu muttered and rang the doorbell on the wall.

ding dong~

After a clear and long doorbell rang, Luo Mu waited for a few seconds, and a slightly old voice responded from inside the house.

"Here it comes~"

With a swish, the old-fashioned wooden sliding door was opened, and an old man with white hair walked out.

Looking at his peculiar, slightly long middle-parted hairstyle that exposed his entire forehead, Luo Mu subconsciously thought of an old friend.

The old man had a mustache and a tuft on his chin. He stroked his beard and walked towards Luo Mu with a smile.

"Are you the guest who will be staying here today?"

The old man asked with a little doubt.

It’s not that he recognized Luo Mu, but he made a basic inference based on the fact that Luo Mu was dressed differently from the residents of Cuilv Town, Beishang Township, and he was also carrying a backpack.

"Hello, I'm Luo Mu. I think you have an appointment already, right?"

As Luo Mu spoke, he once again glanced at the house number hanging on the wall next to the doorbell to make sure he was not taking the wrong road.

"It's you, of course there's an appointment. Sha Li made an appointment for you several days in advance."

The old man nodded and turned sideways to motion Luo Mu to come in.

Luo Mu followed him in and changed into disposable slippers at the entrance.

It has to be said that the house has a strong Japanese style, whether it is the structure of the entrance, the wooden floor that creaks slightly when you walk on it, or the various decorations in the same style, all of which made Luo Mu think he had traveled through time again.

Come to think of it, Kitakami Township is located close to the Johto region and the Sinnoh region. We all know the prototypes of those two regions, so it is not surprising that they have similar cultures.

The old man led the way and introduced the facilities in the house.

"Usually, this house was just occupied by me and my wife. Then our children got married, and then our grandchildren were born. They settled down in other parts of the town, and this house became empty."

"Maybe the house is too spacious, so my wife and I decided to hire someone to renovate it and turn the second floor into a bed and breakfast, which we will rent to tourists like you who come to Beishang Township."

"The second floor is an independent space. My wife and I only go up there to clean it at a scheduled time every day. You and your Pokémon can live there peacefully. If your Pokémon is too heavy, just keep it in the Poké Ball. It's too heavy and can easily cause accidents."

"Okay." Luo Mu nodded after listening carefully, as if he remembered something, and asked again: "From what you mean, who was the last person to rent here?"

"Of course it's that girl Shali. However, she has been camping in the Permanent Forest for many days to take some photos."

The old man shook his head, as if he didn't understand what young people are thinking nowadays.

Then, he chuckled and said, "The girl has paid for your accommodation, and I have also replaced all the supplies for you. Should it be okay?"

Luo Mu: ".Of course no problem."

He could roughly guess that the old man probably thought that he and Sha Li had a special relationship.

"This is a restaurant where we eat three meals a day. Although my wife and I usually eat light meals, it doesn't mean that our cooking skills are bad. Meals are included in the accommodation fee. We will prepare delicious food with Beishang Township characteristics for you."

"We have an outdoor hot spring in the backyard, which is separate from the one we use for guests. Please go and enjoy it. A hot spring bath will wash away all your fatigue."

"besides."

The old man talked a lot. Compared with the community center which is similar to a hotel, this kind of homestay does have a more human touch.

Luo Mu also got a general understanding of the living environment for the next few days. He couldn't help but sigh that Shali was worthy of being a photographer who traveled around the world and could find such a great B&B.

When there was nothing left to explain, the old man remembered that he seemed to have not introduced himself yet.

"My name is Xue Zhong, and my wife is Shu Zi. If you need anything, please feel free to ask."

Xue Zhong gave Luo Mu a kind smile.

"I'd like to ask for your continued care during this period, Mr. Xue Zhong."

Luo Mu nodded and prepared to go to the second floor to pack his luggage.

Only then did Xue Zhong notice the fruitworm on Luo Mu's head and asked in surprise, "Is this child your Pokémon?"

"Yes, one of the reasons why I came to Kitakami Township was to find an opportunity for it to evolve."

Luo Mu did not deny it and took the fruitworm off his head.

"There are many fruit-eating worms at Apple Hill. It's not easy to fight for special apples." Xue Zhong stroked his beard, his face showing a look of reminiscence. "Come to think of it, my grandson also tamed a fruit-eating worm recently. What a coincidence."

Then, Xue Zhong's eyes lit up as if he had thought of a good idea, and he asked Luo Mu: "Luo Mu, do you need a tour guide? My grandchildren are on vacation at home, why not let them be your tour guides for free?"

"I see they've been having too much fun lately. School is about to start, so they should do something to calm down."

"They are all children who were born and raised in Cuilv Town. They are very familiar with the surrounding environment. You can rest assured that they are definitely more familiar with the environment of Beishang Township than the tour guides hired by the travel agencies."

"And they are trainers. Even if you go out into the wild, as long as you don't go too deep, they will be able to protect your safety."

It was really hard to refuse the kind offer, so Luo Mu accepted Xue Zhong's enthusiastic suggestion and prepared to take a break, have lunch, and then let Xue Zhong's grandchildren take him to visit Beishang Township.

At least it's better than wandering around alone.

Before stepping onto the stairs to the second floor, Luo Mu deliberately nudged Xue Zhong with his shoulder, exposing the Mimicryuu, which would often be ignored unless it interacted with Luo Mu, to Xue Zhong.

"Mr. Xue Zhong, in addition to eating fruit worms, I also brought Mimikyuu."

"Oh yeah, it's true. It looks like my presbyopia is acting up again."

Xue Zhong stared at the Mimikyo that "appeared suddenly" for a long time with his eyes wide open. Finally, he smiled and praised generously, "It's a girl, right? It's so cute after wearing the decorations!"
