Chapter 842 Washing Green
Unlike other regions, the history of Ancient Sinnoh is fragmented. During the Ancient Sinnoh period, thousands of years ago, the Sinnoh continent and the Johto continent were connected, so much so that murals from the Ancient Sinnoh period can still be seen in the Ruins of Alpford in the Johto region.
When Yang Ming was weak, he once explored the Ruins of Aluf in the City of the Capital, and even entered the legendary "Divine Capital Ruins".
But from some unknown day, Sinnoh and Johto were separated. As the continental plates moved, the distance between the two continents grew further and further. Johto moved eastward and connected with the Kanto continent in the east, while Sinnoh became a separate continent. Over time, the ecology of the two regions gradually became different.
Countless years passed, and after countless events, even the history of ancient Sinnoh was buried in the long river of time. During this period, Sinnoh was isolated from the world and had no contact with other regions. In the mouths of the original inhabitants at that time, it was called the "Sui-cui region".
It wasn't until hundreds of years ago, when an expedition team called Team Galactic, composed of trainers from several regions, set foot in the Sinnoh region, that a small part of the region's ancient history was revealed.
"If I'm not mistaken, I've now arrived in the era of Xicui, hundreds of years ago," Yang Ming thought to himself.
For the Sinnoh region, the Greenery Era was a special period. On one hand, it was from this period that Sinnoh broke free from its previous isolation and began to interact with the outside world; on the other hand, Sinnoh during this period had a large number of unique Pokémon, known as the 'Greenery Pokémon', but due to drastic environmental changes, these Pokémon have almost all become extinct in modern times, with only a very small number of individuals surviving.
Of course, some people have tried to recreate the Pokémon of the Green Era. For example, Yang Ming's former older brother, Rocky, once used special means to forcibly evolve his ace Pokémon Ursaring into Lisbeak.
However, unable to adapt to the current climate, Ursaring died after a fierce battle with Yang Ming's Pokémon. Ursaring, the "cheap older brother," also died at Yang Ming's hands, and his business was also swallowed up by Yang Ming.
The only Moon Bear currently able to live in modern times is "Heyue" from Beishang Township. Due to a mutation in its body, this "Heyue" Moon Bear has not only fully adapted to the modern climate, but its fighting power has also surpassed that of the original Moon Bear.
"The large-scale extinction of Pokémon from the Green Age in modern times must be due to the significant changes in their ecology over the past few hundred years. Many of my Pokémon cannot withstand the climate here, probably for the same reason."
"Gyarados, Clefairy, and Gengar are all Pokémon that have lived in the Sinnoh region since the Green Era, so they can naturally adapt to the environment here."
In fact, Magneton, Tentacruel, and Parasect can also adapt to the climate of Xicui, but Yang Ming did not bring them with him when he entered Tianguan Mountain, so they did not cross over together.
"Fortunately, Pokémon won't be affected by the climate here as long as they stay in their Poké Balls. So, until I return to my original world, I'll just use three Pokémon to battle for now, so that Roaring Moon and the others won't be uncomfortable here."
Yang Ming carefully put away the other Pokémon, and also recalled Xerneas, which had turned back into a tree branch, and began his exploration of the snowfield.
Perhaps due to the climate, there were hardly any Pokémon to be seen in this vast snowfield. The good news was that Yang Ming and his group didn't encounter any attacks from wild Pokémon, but the bad news was that they had been walking in this snowfield for half a day without finding a single thing to eat.
"No, if this continues, we will all starve to death."
Since his arrival in this world, all of Yang Ming's electronic devices have malfunctioned. He can neither use Team Rocket's gears to transport Pokémon nor to transport food and daily necessities. He might actually freeze to death in the snow.
"Picosie, use Flamethrower!"
Having no other choice, Yang Ming had to have Pixi start a fire to keep warm.
Although the weather was cold, the dry grass in the snow was also very dry. Yang Ming and Gengar collected some dry grass, which Clefairy quickly lit.
The flames crackled in the snow, their orange-red light dispelling the biting chill. Yang Ming rubbed his hands together, using the firelight to survey his surroundings—aside from the boundless white snow and the hazy mountain shadows in the distance, the land was eerily silent.
“This snowfield is too vast. Judging from the geographical location of this era, I should be near the ‘pure white permafrost’ in the north right now.” Yang Ming analyzed the situation using his knowledge from his previous life while warming himself by the fire.
The White Tundra, which is the northern part of the modern Sinnoh region, extends as far as near Snowpeak City. During the Green Age, the White Tundra was the habitat of a group of native inhabitants who worshipped Palkia, the "Sinnoh Grand Master" who ruled over space, and believed that Palkia created Green, which is the Sinnoh region.
These indigenous people call themselves the "Pearl Team." They generally wear pearl-colored uniforms, which make them easy to hide in the white snow.
"If we can find the Pearl Team's gathering place, 'Pearl Settlement,' we should be able to solve our food and clothing problems."
Yang Ming and his three Pokémon warmed themselves by the fire for a while longer, just as they were about to continue their journey. Suddenly, a small creature caught his attention.
This is a small mammalian Pokémon with brown fur and a pair of comical front teeth. It is quietly creeping towards the fire.
Bidoof is a Pokémon that can be found everywhere in the Sinnoh region. It is gentle in nature and highly adaptable to its environment, able to survive in various climates.
Because it's so common and weaker than Rattata, Bibarel is generally considered an insignificant weak Pokémon by most trainers and not worth paying attention to.
But for Yang Ming, who had been starving for half a day, this was a food source delivered right to his doorstep!
However, faced with this rare "ingredient," Yang Ming had no intention of catching it. Instead, he waved to it, indicating that it could sit next to the fire.
After confirming that the human in front of him was not hostile, the Big Toothed Raccoon finally lowered its guard and cautiously sat down next to Yang Ming.
The warmth of the firelight seemed to lull the little brown creature into a false sense of security. Although the big-toothed raccoon can survive in various environments, a source of heat in the cold winter is still very precious to it.
"Alright, I should go now. You can warm yourself by the fire here by yourself."
Yang Ming was about to leave when he noticed that Big Tooth Fox was staring at him expectantly.
