Chapter 122 Geographical Environment of the Hoenn Region
The morning after the rain was like a symphony, filled with chirping and chattering. Birds like the peacock and the finches sang their beautiful melody in the sky and among the branches.
"Slap~ Slap~ Slap~ Slap"
The sound of Bug-type Pokémon flapping its wings is keeping time for a symphony.
Tick-tock...tick-tock
Raindrops fall from the leaves onto the pebbles, as if the stones are singing a symphony of dripping water.
As soon as dawn broke, the small courtyard emitted beautiful music.
"Bang~ Bang~ Bang"
A series of knocks sounded outside the master bedroom door on the second floor. However, this did not disturb the person who was fast asleep.
After knocking for no more than 10 seconds, the thick door suddenly opened by itself as if there was no wind. The visitor looked up and saw a fairy-like creature, like a wind chime, floating in mid-air.
It turned out to be a little cutie, and then I understood. It opened the door for the visitor; no wonder the door could open on its own.
"Looks like this little girl is trying to wake up Da Congming again. I'd better give her a good help."
After a brief moment of thought, the little cutie made up her mind. She and the little girl would play a prank on the person who was sleeping in.
The little girl tiptoed to the side of a large bed.
As the little girl and the elf exchanged a glance, an invisible force gently lifted her above the sleeping person.
"Bang! Bang!"
"Ah~"
The sound of flesh colliding rang out, but thanks to the little cutie's psychic protection, the little girl was completely unharmed. Xuan Mingtian, on the other hand, seemed startled. After letting out a scream, he quickly regained consciousness.
"It's you again! Little Qingmei, this isn't a good child's habit. And your little darling, you must have let her in."
Upon hearing such a reprimand, Xiao Qingmei immediately put on a pitiful expression, trying her best to force a few tears from her eyes.
"What? Can't I let a little girl in? What bad intentions could a child possibly have?"
The little cutie directly notified him through telepathy, and also stated that Xiao Qingmei had no bad intentions.
That's true. She didn't have such intentions, but she couldn't resist her little cutie's charm.
"Alright, Qingmei, you can come in whenever you want from now on."
Seeing the little girl who looked like she was about to burst into tears, Xuan Mingtian couldn't bear to bully her, so he could only let her do whatever she wanted from now on.
After this brief interlude, because Xiao Qingmei was in the room, he had to speed up his washing up.
In less than fifteen minutes, the two people and the elf finally arrived at the dining table. By then, all the members had arrived and began to eat the special breakfast from the Alola region.
"Uncle Xiao, take out 50 billion to purchase various medicinal herbs, elf items, materials, food, energy cubes, and so on. Also, various tree fruit seeds, with no time limit."
While enjoying the delicious food, Xuan Mingtian didn't forget to instruct Uncle Xiao to prepare the compensation funds to purchase various necessary items.
In retrospect, he has to admire his own shrewdness. A single kidnapping case has brought him billions of dollars in income every year, making money effortlessly.
"Okay, Xiao Tian, I'll get started on arranging this later."
He never failed to obey Xuan Mingtian's orders. Although the former respected him greatly, Uncle Xiao still remembered the man's responsibilities.
After a brief exchange, the four children slowly walked towards the teaching area.
"Ring~ Ring~ Ring"
Just as they arrived at their seats, the school bell rang. Their timing was perfect, even surprising the teacher behind them.
"Class, today we're going to talk about the geography and historical relationships of the Hoenn region. Now, open your textbooks."
The homeroom teacher's calm voice carried a hint of joy. It was likely another raise and better benefits; the reason was simple: he'd received the substantial compensation he'd received yesterday.
Xuan Mingtian didn't think much of it. Instead, he opened his textbook and carefully read the introduction to the Hoenn region.
The Hoenn region is a large area located in the southwestern part of the Johto region.
The region boasts a diverse range of natural environments, from rainforests to deserts, but its most striking feature is its extensive waterways.
The area of that body of water was almost equal to that of the mainland, creating a stark contrast with other regions.
The mainland is surrounded by islands of varying sizes, accessible only by water. Some areas even allow for diving.
The diverse vegetation and climate of Hoenn indicate that it is much warmer than other continents. The interior of the continent is surrounded by mountains and forests, and the major cities are located in coastal areas.
Living conditions are much harsher in inland towns and villages, where people in places like Indulge even have to live in treehouses.
Hoenn has two volcanoes, both of which are dormant.
Chimney Mountain hasn't erupted for many years, but the continuous falling volcanic ash has covered the mountain and the roads at its foot with different colors, indicating that it is still considered a dormant volcano.
Another underwater volcano erupted long ago, extending above the sea. The crater in the center of the land formed a lake due to rainwater accumulation. Soon, people discovered that the climate here was very warm and suitable for living, so they built the city of Liuli on the crater.
"Hoenn is truly a fascinating place. I must visit it sometime in the future."
Looking at the general geography of the Hoenn region, Xuan Mingtian couldn't help but sigh. At the same time, a captivating landscape, different from the Kanto region, appeared on the book and on the projection screen.
"Students, what are your thoughts after seeing the pictures on the screen?"
The homeroom teacher seemed to take a liking to the question and began asking each student a question.
"Teacher, it's me."
"Teacher, choose me."
"Teacher, I'll answer."
Everyone in the classroom raised their right hand, eager to answer. However, the trio was an exception.
At this moment, the homeroom teacher glanced at the students present, a fleeting look of disappointment in his eyes. He had intended for Xuan Mingtian to answer the question.
Unfortunately, while she was in love, he was not interested in her, so he could only choose one of his classmates to answer.
"Alright, Bai Ying, please answer this question."
Left with no other option, the homeroom teacher had to ask her own niece to answer the question.
"Teacher, the most distinctive feature of the Hoenn region is its forest resources in the center of the landmass, which is a must-visit place for many explorers and tourists. Also, because it is a coastal city, its tourism industry is very developed."
"Very good. Although Bai Ying's answer was not comprehensive, she has expressed the general meaning."
Although that's what he said, Su, the homeroom teacher, didn't really think that way, but he didn't say it out loud.
After Bai Ying sat down, the homeroom teacher called on several students who raised their hands to answer. However, the general answers were all about how beautiful the environment was and how suitable it was for tourism, which made his head spin.
