Chapter 123 The History and Geography of Hoenn
Chapter 123 The History and Geography of Hoenn
"Alright, students, let's learn about the history of the Hoenn region next."
The homeroom teacher immediately interrupted the students who were still eager to answer.
He couldn't help but think to himself, "Kids will be kids. The excitement they get when they hear they're going to play is giving me a real headache."
After some internal discussion, the homeroom teacher began to introduce the historical trajectory of the area.
Legend has it that the Hoenn region was created after Groudon and Kyogre appeared. Groudon raised up the continents while Kyogre filled the seas, thus forming the Hoenn region.
Legend has it that Groudon (who cannot fly) is the creator of the land, while Kyogre is the creator of the sea.
Of course, this is just a legend. Xuan Mingtian knew that what truly caused the continent to be born was tectonic movement, and these things merely propelled and accelerated this process.
When these two Pokémon met, they engaged in an epic battle to continue vying for natural energy and expand their territory, which was eventually quelled by Rayquaza.
Rayquaza drove the two Pokémon into a cave to sleep forever.
Because of Groudon and Kyogre, two underground organizations emerged in the Hoenn region. One is called Team Magma, led by Crimson Mist. The other is called Team Aqua, led by Archie.
This was what Xuan Mingtian's father and grandfather told him personally when he came to school. Of course, it wasn't out of fear of them, but rather because there was no need to have too much contact with them.
Another legend in the region is that Regigigas's movement across the continents created Hoenn, and later, during the Iron Age, it traveled to the Snow Peak Temple in Sinnoh.
Regirock, Registeel, and Regice were placed in Hoenn as the key to awakening Regigigas.
These four Pokémon are none other than the three legendary Titans and Regice from the previous life.
They are:
Regirock, Regirock, Rock-type
Registeel, Steel Titan, Steel-type
Regice, the Ice God Pillar, Ice type
Regigigas, Regigigas the Founding King, Normal-type
In fact, among the sacred pillars that Xuan Mingtian knew about, there were two more: one was the Dragon God Pillar Regidorago, and the other was the Electric God Pillar Regiellechi.
Information about the five Titans and Regalia is scarce in books. But that didn't stump Xuan Mingtian, after all, he was a huge Pokémon enthusiast in his previous life.
He certainly knows their detailed information, but he gives everyone a bold guess. Here's a hint: Regigigas, the Regigigas King, was born during the Mesozoic Era.
The book turned to the next page, which was about the Hoenn region, including the locations and natural landscapes of various cities, towns, villages, and so on.
There are 12 municipalities: Orange Blossom, Kanaz, Kaina, Amethyst, Lilycove, Still Water, Green Ridge, Glass, Soryu, North Orange Blossom, Priga, and Larousse.
Xuan Mingtian believes that the most famous are Kanazon City and Petalburg City. Just like Saffron City and Evergreen City in the Kanto region, they are similar in many ways.
Some of these cities also have auspicious meanings, for example:
Kanaz: A city that seeks to combine nature and science
Orange Blossom: A City Where People and Nature Coexist
Kaina City: A haven for communication between humans and Pokémon
Zijin City: A Dazzling and Joyful City
Yinyu City: A Treetop City Blending with Nature
Water City: The End of Land, the Beginning of Sea
Greenmots City: Love Pokémon, Protect Pokémon
Liuli City: A Sleeping City with a Long History
Colorful City: A riot of beautiful flowers
Various names, etc., these words aptly and concisely introduce the characteristics of the city.
We've finished reviewing the introductions to the 12 cities; now it's time for the towns.
They are: Weibai Town, Gumei Town, Wudou Town, Luyin Town, Fuyan Town, Qiuye Town, Mushui Town, Linxin Town, Futaba Town, Changshou Town, Yokoto Town, Xigu Town, Sailuos Town, and Nan Town. A total of 14 towns.
The most famous of these is Kamajo, a town situated at the foot of a volcano. Its most distinctive feature is its hot spring inns, making it a world-renowned hot spring resort.
Turn the page again, and you'll find the only kingdom in the Hoenn region.
Its name is the Kingdom of Miraju. It is a kingdom located in the Hoenn region, situated on the other side of the desert, and is known as the Dream Kingdom.
This kingdom is ruled by a king and queen, and the people worship Togepi. There is also a temple to Togepi, and members of the royal family can only obtain royal power by gaining Togepi's approval.
Scrolling down, you'll see brief introductions to just two villages. The first is Liado, located between the city of Priga and the town of Seros on Itzabe Island.
The second village is Meteor Village, a name many of you may not have heard of. However, the people there are known by a familiar name: the Meteor People.
Similarly, they are also Rayquaza's underlings. Even though the League now knows of the Meteor Dwellers' existence, they don't dare to provoke them because of Rayquaza's power.
After all, Rayquaza is not like Groudon and Kyogre, the latter two are in a dormant state, while Rayquaza is having a great time playing in the ozone layer.
Seeing this, Xuan Mingtian's mind started working again. He also wanted to get his hands on a few divine beasts, so that they could not only protect everything in his home, but also satisfy his desire for divine power.
Thinking of this, Xuan Mingtian immediately made up his mind. After school, he asked Xiao Ke'ai if he could bring Sizhuzi back.
His thoughts stopped, and he continued to look at the book.
The next part of the introduction is about the natural landscape of the Hoenn region, but when Xuanmingtian saw so many islands, he immediately felt a headache coming on.
These are: Ancient Rose Ruins, Woodland Forest, Distant Lake, Togepi's Paradise, Steel Valley, Forbidden Forest, Misty Mountain, Mushroom Forest, Fire Camel Hill, Bamba Island, River Island, Vazwa Island, Iroha Islands, Ganga Island, Dream Island, Wandering Island, Wilz Island, Izabe Island, Trapinch's Underground Labyrinth, Dondon Island, Whale Island, and Farnese.
These are just the islands that have been documented. There are many more unknown islands waiting to be discovered by explorers.
Upon seeing the last natural landscape, according to the information, Farns is the location of the legendary mythical beast, Jirachi. However, its exact location remains unknown.
Moreover, it is currently dormant, but upon closer inspection, it is still a very good target.
"Classmates, have you all finished watching? What do you think of the Hoenn region?"
The homeroom teacher observed for a while and found that many students were whispering among themselves, so it seemed that they had finished reading the introduction.
This time, Xuan Mingtian was the first to raise his hand, which puzzled even Xiao Gang and Yang Bin next to him.
