During this period, they also passed by a place called Donphan Valley.
It is located between New Bark Town and Cherrygrove City in the Johto Region Region.
This valley got its name from the fact that there are many Donphans living in it.
But all the Donphans in this valley have been conquered by Trainer, and many agates here are collected by Donphan.
Breeder Donphan in the valley has the special ability to find agate because the village in this valley has been engaged in agate carving since ancient times.
Therefore, these Donphans became their good helpers.
During this time, Ash and his friends also met a lady named Rochelle.
She is engaged in finding and carving agate.
Most of her Breeder's Donphan have been trained to find agate.
Rochelle has many Donphans, one of which is too young to have long fangs and has not yet been trained to find agates.
In the original storyline, Ash and Brock mistakenly thought it was a wild Donphan and fought it in an attempt to capture it.
Later, this Donphan was taken away by Team Rocket, but due to lack of ability, he did not help Team Rocket find Agate.
In the end, together with Ash and Rochelle's Pokémon, they defeated Team Rocket.
And now, the Rockets are going to their boss again to prove their worth.
As a result, they did not come here to cause trouble, nor did they cause any major commotion.
Ash and the others calmly observed Donphan for a while, and then they got through it safely.
"Ding, Donphan, the Armor Pokémon, the evolution of Phanpy, can destroy even houses with its hard body. It will use this power to help move the mud and rocks that roll down from the landslide and block the mountain road."
As the Rotom Pokédex recorded, Ash and his group said goodbye to Miss Rochelle and continued forward.
What blocked their way next was a foggy jungle.
This forest is called the "Confusing Forest" because there are many evil Ghost Type Pokémon in this forest.
These Pokémon will play tricks on you, so if you want to pass through this forest you must use the Detect ability in Assist.
"Hoothoot, the owl Pokémon, has an extremely accurate internal clock and will tilt its head at a fixed rhythm no matter what time it is."
There is a V-shaped black object on its head, which looks like the hands of a clock. Hoothoot, whose eyes are surrounded by black objects like glasses, is also looking at Ash and the others.
This is Hagatha's Hoothoot, which is specially designed to serve guests entering the [Enchanted Forest].
Hagatha is the old lady who raises Hoothoot in this forest.
Her home is located in the forest and is rented out to guests in order to allow people to pass through it.
This place looks like a temple, with a stone gate at the entrance and a stone statue of Hoothoot next to it.
Normally, only those who rented a Hoothoot Trainer here could get out of this forest.
But Ash just took a look, shook his head and walked away.
"Hey~"
They also have the Pokémon Gengar here, which can lead the way.
Other Ghost-Type Pokémon in this forest will not be effective.
Not to mention, Ash himself has Psychic, so he can completely ignore these troubles.
It didn't take long for Ash and his group to successfully walk out of the forest.
At the same time, I also saw Jin Ling's home at the exit of the forest.
Jinling is Hagatha's twin sister. The two sisters run the same business in the forest.
Nagatha's house is located at the exit of the forest. The Hoothoot borrowed from Hagatha's house can be returned here. The appearance of this place is very similar to Hagatha's house in the forest.
Well, it's hard to say that these two old ladies have monopolized the Hoothoot business~~
After leaving the confusing forest, they finally arrived at a modern town.
"What a big city~"
"This is Dongmen Town."
"I haven't had a chance to eat a burger in a long time!"
The trio walked to the entrance of the city and all of them relaxed.
In the wild, no matter how close to nature you are.
When facing various attacks and emergencies in the wild, they have to be on their toes.
And now, we have finally arrived in this modern city, where people gather.
This means that they can finally have a good rest here without having to worry about so many precautions.
"There must be many beautiful ladies in this town! ...!"
Xiaogang was still there lost in his daydreaming.
״Hey~"
Gengar, who was following behind, was also staring at Xiaogang's waist and fantasizing.
It has also been a long time since it has been able to have a close contact with Xiao Gang!!
Needless to say, the trio quickly stepped into the city and immersed themselves in the modern urban atmosphere.
"Hamburger shop, hamburger shop..."
"Miss Beautiful, Miss Beautiful..."
Misty and Xiaogang were both muttering to themselves.
But they didn't expect that the first person they found, or the first person who found them, was~
"Please wait a moment!!"
A young girl with a ponytail came forward and politely handed the flyer in her hand to Ash:
"Please take a look at this promotion!!"
"X1..."
Ash took a look, "Pokémon performance conference?"
"Yes!!"
The girl with the ponytail smiled sweetly: "Tomorrow there will be an annual Pokémon performance conference at the Walker's Paradise!!"
"Please come and visit!!"
"This is the special performance in Dongmen Town~~~"
Ash smiled after reading the flyer: "It sounds interesting, so we will go and take a look.
Dongmen Town was once famous for its Pokémon street performances.
Even now, there are many performances of Pokémon in various places in this city.
For example, Vulpix was jumping in a ring of fire, Oddish was stomp-ing an Electrode to keep it balanced, and Trainer was dancing in a square with a group of Mankeys.
Even Alakazam was seen holding a huge spoon and performing a bending show...
"There's no need to mention the fountain show that the book-attribute Pokémon like Slowpoke, Psyduck, Wartortle, and Krabby put on together..."
Walking on the busy and noisy streets, looking at the many street performances, Misty talked about it with great experience:
"I've seen it on TV many times before!!"
"Especially during the performance and conference period, it is even more lively!!"
In Dongmen Town, ten large-scale outdoor Pokémon performances are held every year.
This will be a grand Pokémon performance conference, where Trainers and Pokémon from all over the world will come to perform.
Ash and the others were also overwhelmed by the sight.
Walk out of the confusing forest and enter the modern metropolis.
Enjoying this lively and cheerful atmosphere, I have to say that it is indeed a cleansing for the travelers' souls.
At least even Ash felt extra comfortable.
Not to mention Misty and Xiaogang, they are all immersed in these performances now.
Among these performances, there were two very cute and beautiful Pokémon that attracted a lot of people's attention.
"Beep, Bellossom, the flower Pokémon, after fully basking in the sun, its leaves will spin in circles. Bellossom's dance is a famous landscape in the south.
Rotom Pokédex records in time and then disappears quietly.
The Pokémon that makes beautiful, smooth movements is, of course, Bellossom.
Under the coaching of their Trainers, they easily performed a series of difficult moves, showing off their graceful dance moves.
Bellossoms not only have graceful figures and bright and attractive looks, but they also have sweet smiles that can easily infect others.
Soon, circles of audiences gathered around them, applauding and cheering for them.
"Okay, everyone, next we're going to use our ultimate move, [Flying Moon]!!"
Seeing that the time was almost ripe, Bellossom's Trainer, a slender dancing girl in a slim-fitting outfit, also spread her arms and announced the next performance:
"Meimei, Huahua, it's about to begin!!"
She encouraged her two Bellosoms to give one final wonderful performance.
But unfortunately, one of the Bellosoms named Huahua lacked confidence.
Abandoned from the sky, she failed to perform graceful dance steps, and instead fell rapidly.
"Huahua?!"
Trainer's dancing girl's expression suddenly changed.
This is a serious performance error, but if you are not careful, the Pokémon may get hurt.
"..."
The landing flower also closed its eyes in fear.
But fortunately~
Pop.
Luckily, she fell in front of a Trainer.
"Be careful next time and don't fall down."
Ash simply raised his hand and hugged the fallen Bellossom, chuckling and comforting him.
"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry...
The Trainer dancing girl quickly came forward.
"It's okay, this is for you~"
Ash handed over the still frightened Bellossom.
"Thank you so much, you really helped me a lot..."
The beautiful dancing girl looked at Ash with some gratitude.
And when he saw this, he was slightly stunned.
"I feel like I've seen this somewhere before..."
She couldn't remember for a moment.
And just when I was slightly stunned, next to me~
"Hello, I'm Xiaogang!!"
Whoosh, a pervert with dark skin and squinting eyes came out.
He looked at her with a flushed face and said to her excitedly:
"Your Pokémon is really great, please make an appointment with me...
"Hey~!!"
Before he could finish his last word, the ghost's ultimate move [Strike] arrived!!
"Mama, mama ...
Xiao Gang fell to the ground in response, his whole body twitching:
"Sure enough, it's still this familiar feeling..."
"Hey~!!"
Gengar, who had finally landed the blow, grinned and laughed silently with satisfaction.
It finally feels comfortable!!
So, after another farce.
There are public chairs under the shade of the trees next to it.
"I'm sorry, this is the only way I can thank you. Please feel free to do so..."
Trainer, the dancing girl, picked up the soda she had bought and apologized to everyone again.
"It's nothing, we're not polite~"
Ash didn't hesitate to accept the offer and started drinking the soda.
Such a free and easy aura also made the Trainer dancer's eyes light up.
"My name is Bailey. My dream is to form the best dance team in the world. They are my partners Meimei and Huahua..."
"Beautiful~!"
The two Bellosoms did a beautiful and graceful circle together as a greeting.
"`"My name is Ash and its name is Pikachu."
"Pika~Pika."
"My name is Misty~"
"I'm Xiao Gang! If you don't mind, please dance with me... Mama mama, I'm paralyzed again!!"
"Hey~!'
It was Xiaogang who refused to change his bad habits again, and he was hit by Gengar's double hit again.
The whole person then fell to the side and continued to twitch.
Well, I always feel like Xiaogang went to the Orange Islands and followed Professor Neimu for a while.
As a result, the body's resistance has also increased a lot.
"Ash? You said your name is Ash?!"
Bailey, who had ignored Xiaogang, became even more excited at this moment.
"Is it Ash from Pallet Town who won the Indigo Plateau Conference this year?!!"
"Well, if these prefixes are added together..."
Ash smiled softly and nodded under Bailey's even more excited gaze: "Then it must be me."
"Very good!!"
Bailey stood up and said in surprise: "It's really you!!"
"No wonder you look so familiar to me!!"
"I didn't expect to meet the Indigo Plateau Conference champion Trainer here. I'm so lucky!!"
"Please give me your autograph!!"
Bailey was so surprised that he was a little flustered.
After a long while, he took out a pen and paper and handed them to Ash.
Two beautiful big eyes were blinking.
The pupils reflected Ash's figure at the moment, and were full of admiration and joy.
"I've seen all your games. In every game you only sent out one Pokémon and successfully defeated all of Rival's Pokémon. That's amazing!!"
Bailey was like Ash's Lostelle sister, talking endlessly about Ash's outstanding performance at the Indigo Plateau Conference.
Her expression made Misty, who had originally had a good impression of her, curl her lips immediately.
"It seems that Ash is more popular among the Trainer group than we thought...
Xiaogang staggered and struggled to get up from the ground.
"After all, the Johto Region and Kanto Region are closely adjacent to each other, and their Alliance Conferences are also held on the Indigo Plateau."
"Then, the news of Ash winning the Indigo Plateau Conference and the footage of the competition will naturally be seen and known by the Trainers in the Johto Region.
"..."
Xiao Gang's purple lips also smiled:
"There shouldn't be any Trainer who, after watching Ash's performance at the Alliance Conference, would be completely indifferent when meeting him in person.'
The Trainer in front of you named Bailey is the best proof.
Even though her dream is just to form the world's best dance team, not to become a Pokémon master.
But this still does not prevent her from expressing her admiration for Ash!!
She even started to learn from her idol as a fan:
"I was originally planning to attend the performance conference tomorrow."
"But you saw what happened just now. The ultimate move at the end, [Flying Moon], was never successful."
"Ever since I failed in a jump, I can't control my movements in the air..."
"This must be the low point~"
"Although I think there is still a lot of time to keep going, but...
She looked at Ash with sparkling eyes: "If I can get Mr. Ash's coaching and Huahua can recover faster..."
"That really couldn't be better~!!"
Well, Bailey's two Bellosoms, Meimei and Huahua, both have beautiful dancing and fighting abilities.
But now, due to Huahua's lack of confidence, the Moon Leap dance has not been successful.
Later, in the final battle against Team Rocket, Meimei and Huahua successfully regained their confidence.
He was also able to successfully use the Moon Leap to defeat Team Rocket.
This is also what made it possible for the two Bellosoms to perform smoothly.
"Solve Bellossom's confidence problem and let them pull off their tricks successfully, right?"
Ash lowered his head and looked at the two Bellosoms who looked a little embarrassed and nervous, but also a little hopeful.
He couldn't help but smile and said:
"Sure~~~Yes."
