Chapter 624 The Green-Haired Boy in Need of Help
Just then, Deoxys slowly descended from mid-air.
Li Luochen met its gaze and invited, "Perfect timing! I'm also planning to wander around the Hoenn region. How about we travel together? You can find your kind, and I'll continue my cultivation. That way, we can look after each other on the road. What do you say?"
Deochis tilted his head slightly.
After a short while, it nodded slightly.
"Yes, you have a reassuring aura about you. I have no objection to traveling with you."
Thus, the first wave of the meteorite crisis has come to a temporary end.
The tranquility of Orange Blossom Forest has returned, with only the scent of earth, overturned by the Sword of the Cliff, lingering in the air.
Daigo directed the Alliance staff to return to their posts, packing up equipment and organizing data.
Soon, only he and Li Luochen's group remained on the field, along with an alien named Deoxys who was loitering not far away.
Daigo walked up to Li Luochen and asked, "What are your plans next? The meteorite incident is temporarily over, but we still need you on Deoxys. What are your thoughts on your trip to Hoenn?"
Li Luochen patted the dust off his clothes and replied, "Let's go take a look at the Sky Pillar first."
Daigo pondered for a moment upon hearing this.
The Sky Pillar is the dwelling place of Rayquaza.
Ordinary trainers have no idea where it is, let alone set foot on it.
But Li Luochen had his reasons for going.
He nodded, not asking for further explanation, but instead offering practical advice: "I'm not very familiar with Sky Pillars, but I suggest you make a trip to Orange City to find someone before you go there."
"Senri, the Gym Leader of Petalburg City, has some connections in investigating the location of Sky Pillars. He should be able to help you."
Daigo raised his hand and touched his chin, adding, "Of course, if we really can't find out from Mr. Senri, there's another option."
"Then we should go find Mikoli. He should know just as much about the Sky Pillars as I do."
"But lately he's been busy preparing for the next Grand Contest, his schedule is even fuller than mine, so he probably doesn't look at his phone much."
"So let's find Mr. Qianli first. After all, he lives in Orange City, which is close to here."
Li Luochen nodded slightly, memorizing Qianli's name, and then thanked Daigo: "Okay, thank you. I'll make the trip to Orange Blossom City myself. You have a lot of things to take care of here, so go ahead and get busy."
Daigo waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to be polite.
Just as Li Luochen turned to leave, he suddenly pulled out a bunch of keys from his suit pocket and casually tossed them to Li Luochen.
"Next, these are the keys to my villas in various towns in Hoenn. They're basically everywhere you can think of."
"The password and key are labeled on it; you can see them yourself later."
"Since you're going to stay in Hoenn for a while, you can't stay at the Pokémon Center every day."
"I can stay in whichever building I want, since it's empty anyway."
Li Luochen raised his hand and steadily caught the bunch of keys. They felt heavy in his hand, and the coolness of the metal came through his palm.
He glanced down and saw that the keys were indeed labeled with the names of various towns, with neat and beautiful handwriting, clearly prepared by Daigo's personal assistant.
Without any ceremony, he casually stuffed the keys into his pocket and waved goodbye to Daigo.
Daigo nodded slightly, turned around, and walked away.
The figure in the suit walked away into the dappled shadows of the trees in the Orange Blossom Forest. Several Alliance staff members who were waiting outside came forward and quickly surrounded him, reporting on the follow-up matters.
Soon, Daigo's figure disappeared at the end of the forest path.
Li Luochen withdrew his gaze, turned his head, and looked at Deoxys, which was quietly floating beside him.
The orange-red alien Pokémon has remained silent since it landed.
"Let's go, Deoxys." Li Luochen waved to it. "Follow me first, and we'll find your kin along the way."
"it is good."
Deoxys didn't say much, but simply adjusted his hovering height slightly and quietly followed behind Li Luochen.
The two, one human and one Pokémon, traversed the forest clearing ravaged by the Cliff Sword in Petalburg Woods and arrived at a safe area not far away.
Higanbana, Lucia, and Lillie had been waiting there for a long time. When the three of them saw Li Luochen's figure in the distance, they all came to greet him.
Higana's gaze lingered on Deoxys behind him for a few more seconds, a hint of curiosity flashing in her eyes, but she didn't ask any further questions.
Li Luochen briefly explained the upcoming itinerary before leading the three of them and Deoxys away from Orange Blossom Forest.
With Latias as their mode of transport, the journey was shortened by more than half, and the group arrived in Orange City in the afternoon.
Orange City itself is nothing special; it doesn't have the dazzling neon lights of Mauville City, nor the bustling port trade of Lilycove City.
If one had to point out a noteworthy feature, it would be that the entire city is gently embraced by a vast forest, with lush canopies cradling it from all sides.
......
After settling Lucia, Higanbana, and Lillie into the hotel, Li Luochen took Deoxys and headed straight to the Petalburg Gym.
The Orange Blossom Dojo is located on an open area on the north side of the city. Its architectural style is simple yet grand, without too much ostentatious decoration, but it has its own calm and profound aura, which is in line with the temperament of the city.
In front of the dojo gate, a timid green-haired boy was standing there.
He was quite handsome, even excessively so, with delicate features like a porcelain doll, but his figure was exceptionally thin and frail.
He was wearing a gray long-sleeved shirt, the cuffs of which were rolled up several times but still looked a bit long, and light blue trousers with the hems dragging on his shoes. Clearly, the clothes were more than a size too big for him.
The green-haired boy unconsciously twisted the hem of his clothes with both hands, sometimes standing on tiptoe to peek into the dojo, and sometimes lowering his head to stare at the tips of his shoes. His whole body exuded an aura of timidity and restraint.
Li Luochen stepped forward and gently patted the boy's shoulder.
The boy was startled by the sudden touch, and like a startled tailbone, he shrank his shoulders and hurriedly looked up, noticing Li Luochen.
"What's wrong? Why are you standing at the door and not going in?" Li Luochen asked.
The boy's tense shoulders relaxed slightly as he recognized the visitor as a kind-looking older brother: "I...I've come to ask Gym Leader Senri for help in capturing wild Pokémon..."
