Chapter 482 The Journey of the United States (4)
After saying goodbye to N, Rebecca prepares to continue battling at the gym.
The terrain of the entire Unova region is basically divided into three continents.
Looking back at Raven City, its east and west sides are divided into two roads.
To the left is Highway 5, and to the right is Highway 16.
It's not hard to see that almost all the remaining gyms are located on the left side of the map.
Interesting, that means...
In the previous game, the path on the right was only accessible after "completing the game," right?
If I'm not mistaken, the timeline she's in should be Black and White, not Black and White 2.
However, Rebecca didn't care about any of that.
What she had to do was speedrun!
The Unova region is just one of many regions in the Pokémon world.
Latios carried her at breakneck speed, leaving the entire Route 5 behind in no time.
What comes into view is a huge suspension bridge called the "Fire-Breathing Dragon Bridge".
This is the second cross-sea bridge she has seen in United States.
Although this bridge is not as famous as the "Sky Arrow Bridge", it is still magnificent.
Rebecca skimmed through it.
By the time she came to her senses, they had already arrived in Fanba City.
Latios flew over the lighthouse on the floating island and glanced back.
[What, is that lighthouse special?]
No, it's nothing, I just remembered...
Latios didn't say much about what he was thinking, just glossing over it.
Fanba is also a huge port city.
The most famous of these is undoubtedly the frozen food market.
As soon as Rebecca landed, she arrived at the Fanba Market.
Wholesale markets typically operate from the early morning hours.
It's almost 10 a.m. now, which is actually the time when they're about to get off work.
She took a quick look around and was somewhat disappointed.
Aside from fresh milk and Chinese herbal medicine, the goods sold here are not very plentiful.
It just so happens that she doesn't have much dairy product stock left.
Rebecca feels uncomfortable if she doesn't drink milk for a day, so I bought several extra tubs.
This thing can be stored in your inventory anyway.
She first drank a lot of fresh milk to fill her stomach before heading to the dojo to begin her challenge.
This is a ground-based gym.
For Rebecca, it was naturally the simplest gym.
Not for any other reason than that her trump card is a gem starfish!
……
13 minute later.
Rebecca had already teleported out of the entrance to the Fanba Dojo.
More than the gym battles themselves.
The elevator mechanism in the dojo actually caused her to waste more time.
Then where to go?
Rebecca picked up the map and examined it carefully.
Fanba City is well-connected, and to the south lies the container terminal for cold storage warehouses.
Road 6 leads to the west.
This is the direction to Fukiyo City; there's a gym there.
As for the city of Xuehua to the north, that's even further away...
Let's go to Ephemeral City to challenge the Gym first, since it's the westernmost city in Unova.
She tries her best not to retrace her steps in places she has visited, as that would be too much trouble.
Because she took an empty route, she flew directly over places like Route 6 and the Tourmaline Cave.
This is the advantage of connecting multiple alliances.
Caves, waterways, forests—all sorts of chaotic terrain.
In the original game, it was extremely time-consuming!
Rebecca can now fly supersonic in Latios.
This is all utter nonsense, skip it all!!
……
Two minutes before 11 a.m.
He was at the Fuki-sei Dojo.
The mechanisms in this dojo are really morbidly funny.
They actually treated the challengers like "human cannons," launching them in different directions to cross the platform.
Most people really can't withstand this kind of ordeal.
Rebecca, however, is an exception.
She frequently endures Latios's supersonic flight, and her physical strength has been honed to an unimaginable level, imperceptibly.
"I am Gym Leader Fenglu, let's have a fun battle, champion from Hoenn!"
"Swan Dance!"
Dragonite!
Dragonite still doesn't follow any sportsmanship rules.
Utilize your overwhelming level advantage to unleash 100,000 volts!
It has the upper hand, without a doubt.
Rebecca's mind was not on the Pokémon battle.
At this level, it's best to let Dragonite play against the AI.
Compared to a battle, nothing is as alluring as the swaying, towering peaks of Fenglu.
Rebecca developed a strange competitive spirit; she couldn't afford to lose in this area.
……
"You are really amazing. I am no match for you. You truly deserve to be the champion of two regions."
"It's not as amazing as you make it out to be, sister."
She took the badge and teleported away without lingering.
The entire city of Fukiyo is basically a giant airport.
It seems the best way to get to Unova is by plane, not by boat.
But since we're already here, there's no point in dwelling on it.
Leave the city.
Rebecca didn't even eat lunch. She drank some more milk and dry food before flying off to Route 7.
There are rumors that in this area, people have witnessed cloud-like monsters fighting each other.
Based on the description, it is highly likely to be "Sanyun Shen"!
However, this time when she passed by, the weather was fine and sunny, without the slightest bit of wind or rain...
Well, "natural disaster" spirits are rare and hard to come by anyway.
She has enough mythical beasts, so she doesn't need this one. If she doesn't have one, she doesn't have one.
That tall tower in the distance...
It must be the "Tower of Heaven", right?
It was said to be a place for sacrificing dead elves, but Rebecca wasn't interested in those side quest maps and skipped them.
Route 7 ends at Ross Hill.
The entire land here belongs to that "Boss Ju".
There must be a lot of good stuff beneath the mountain mine pit...
But Rebecca skipped it anyway.
[I sense an immense amount of ley line energy beneath the earth... Shouldn't we go down and take a look?]
Mewtwo gave a rare hint.
[Then I'll fly slower, you go down and check, then hurry and catch up?]
[good!]
After a brief exchange of thoughts.
Mewtwo teleported away and disappeared without a trace.
……
Mewtwo caught up with her when she reached the skies above Snowflake City.
"So, what's inside?"
[Heh, a surprisingly strong player... but you're busy battling gyms.]
[I'd rather save this dessert for later and savor it slowly; that's what makes me happiest and most excited!!]
No matter how Rebecca asked.
Mewtwo has stopped revealing anything, so what secrets lie beneath?
Snowflake City is quite humid.
As a city in the northwest of the Unova region, this place is full of waterlogged depressions.
She glanced at the map quickly.
The biggest surprise in this city is the Elf Center, where people sell all kinds of ores.
That guy called himself the "Gentleman of Minerals".
I reckon Daigo would be overjoyed if he saw this person.
They went to the dojo again to take on the challenge.
The entire dojo was covered in unmelted ice.
The challengers will have to slide on the slippery ice and figure out how to meet the owner; it will really take some effort.
But Rebecca had her own way.
She is, after all, a superhuman.
The rules state that trainers cannot use "the power of the Pokémon" to fly directly to the end of the level.
However, it did not restrict the trainers themselves.
She used her superpowers to step into the void and teleported several times, heading towards the high platform where the gym leader, Hatchku, was located.
"...I never expected that the champion of Hoenn would be a psychic."
"Let's hurry."
"Very well, let me see your strength, and whether it's all just hype... Geometric Snowflake!"
"King Nido!"
"Roar!!!"
King Nido scanned his surroundings.
Decisively launching a surfing attack, slamming it towards the geometric snowflakes...
