Chapter 153 The Geography and History of the Sinnoh Region (Part 1)

After the meal, the four of them put on their backpacks and went out.

"Big brother, I want to go to school too."

Just as Xuan Mingtian was about to step out the door, Xiao Qingmei stopped him. She then asked to come to school with him, which left Xuan Mingtian frozen in place.

"Qingmei, don't stop your older brother. You're not old enough to go to school yet. You haven't even finished reading all the books at home. Are you already thinking about learning new things?"

Upon hearing this, Uncle Xiao immediately stopped his granddaughter from having such an idea.

"Grandpa, I've read all the books in the house, but I'm so bored that I want to go to school with my older brother. Please say yes, I'll be good."

After her grandfather stopped her from having her idea, Xiao Qingmei looked at Xuan Mingtian with a hint of pleading.

"Um, Uncle Xiao, how about letting Qingmei go to school with us? I think the teachers and principal won't have any objections."

Staring into those big, beautiful eyes, Xuan Mingtian had no choice but to agree to the request. Even Xiao Gang would likely be unable to resist this exquisitely beautiful little girl.

Since Xuan Mingtian had no objections, Uncle Xiao could only nod and give up.

"You can come along, but you have to be obedient. Otherwise, I'll bring you back right away and put you in solitary confinement for a week."

"Grandpa, I know, I will definitely listen to my older brother."

After making a promise to Uncle Xiao, Xiao Qingmei took out a small backpack from somewhere and waved to signal Xuan Mingtian and his group to speed up.

"Ring~ Ring~ Ring~"

Just as the five of them arrived at the teaching building, the class bell rang. Chen Qianqian hurriedly broke away from the group and quickly returned to her own class.

In contrast, Xuan Mingtian and his group continued their journey at a leisurely pace.

"Big brother, hurry up! The school bell has already rung."

Although they didn't live in the small courtyard for long, because both their parents were teachers, they still knew these basic things about going to school.

"Xiao Qingmei, it's okay if we're late."

In response to her concerns, Xuan Mingtian assured her that there was absolutely no need to worry about this situation.

"But my parents said that students who don't go to school on time are bad students."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Gang and Yang Bin, who were standing to the side, looked at Xuan Mingtian with eyes full of agreement, because Xiao Qingmei was absolutely right. Even the two of them had shed their "good student" label.

"Aha, because we have such good grades, it's okay for us to be a little late."

Although Xuan Mingtian wasn't making things up, is it really okay to lie to a little girl?

During their conversation, the group finally arrived at the classroom door, where the homeroom teacher had been waiting for some time.

"Xiao Tian, ​​you're late again today. And I know everything about yesterday. I really admire you for being so ruthless to a girl."

"Teacher, this must be a misunderstanding. I just let Garlic do whatever it wanted. Who would have thought it would turn out like this?"

Faced with the homeroom teacher's question, Xuan Mingtian again tried to use the name "garlic" to deceive the teacher. Unfortunately, this explanation was not convincing at all.

"Alright, come in quickly. Xiao Qingmei, come in too. You can sit next to the class monitor. If you don't understand anything, just ask the class monitor."

"Thank you, teacher. I will study hard."

It seems that when Xuan Mingtian arrived, Uncle Xiao had already informed the homeroom teacher about his granddaughter's situation.

Within moments, the students in the class were all quietly watching their homeroom teacher. They knew that today's lesson was about a new region and its geography.

"Class, today we're going to talk about the Sinnoh region. I'm sure many of you are familiar with this region, right?"

"Know"

As soon as the teacher finished speaking, the students responded one after another. After all, Sinnoh is the oldest region in history, and everyone knows its reputation.

As the teacher turned on the projector, various unique environments of the Sinnoh region came into view.

"Students, open your textbooks. Let's look at the introduction in the book while also looking at the featured locations on the screen."

The Sinnoh region is located northeast of Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn, but it is far from other regions.

It consists of the main island, the northeastern island where the Battle Zone is located, and many smaller islands in the east. It also has another name, the Greenland Region, which is the ancient name for Sinnoh.

Compared to other regions, the terrain here is more rugged, with many low cliffs along ordinary roads, making the terrain more complex.

Of course, not all roads are like this, like Xuanmingtian's hometown, Suiyi Town. Because of the financial support of a wealthy patron, Suiyi Town's environment and roads are arguably the most complete and best in the entire Sinnoh region.

This is a predominantly land-based region with only five waterways.

Despite the lack of waterways, the region is significantly different from the Hoenn region in that it is rich in freshwater resources. The Lake of Wisdom in the far north, Lake Heart in the far west, and Lake Tadashi in the far east are the places where the guardians of the lakes reside.

Therefore, there's no need to worry about water scarcity in the Sinnoh region. Even Xuanmingtian's family has a small lake. However, a long time ago, that area became the exclusive territory of their family's guardian spirit, Vine.

Because the Sinnoh region is so large, it is divided into two parts by Mt. Coronet, which is quite similar to the composition of the Kanto and Johto regions.

However, there was no situation where two regions shared the same champion trainer.

For this reason, there are examples of different forms of sea hares and sea hares due to geographical isolation; those in Shandong are blue, while those in the west are pink.

Fortunately, it's just a change in color; everything else is the same.

The western region of Sinnoh has a complex topography. Its coastline is significantly steeper and more rugged than that of the east coast, but its land is much more fertile in comparison.

Most of the town is a village. It has a windswept canyon that has been eroded by a river originating from the Tianguan Mountain.

A valley power plant that supplies clean wind power resources to surrounding towns is located here.

However, this does not mean that the western region is meaningless. Places like Black Gold City, Eternal City, and Canal City are the locations of gyms.

Meanwhile, the central city in the west, Cimarron City, is the most technologically advanced city in the entire region and the central city of the Sinnoh region.

Therefore, unlike other regions where the more rugged the geographical environment, the fewer people gather, this situation does not apply.

At the same time, many Sinnoh residents choose to work and have children in those cities, and some even want to live in those cities for the rest of their lives.

This also highlights the strangeness of Xuan Mingtian's family, which many people find odd. Given their wealth and resources, why would they choose to settle in a retirement-friendly place like Suiyi Town?

However, according to Xuanmingtian's great-grandfather, everyone has their own preferences.
