Chapter 154 Geography and History of the Sinnoh Region (Part 2)

Looking at the descriptions in the book and on the screen, and seeing the vibrant city in western Sinnoh, as well as the Crest Mountains in the center, the students exclaimed in admiration, "No wonder it's the oldest region in history!"

“Xuan, you are from Sinnoh, so you must know these sights very well.”

As soon as the teacher finished speaking, all the students turned to look at him, hoping to get precise information about the Sinnoh region from him.

"Teacher, my home is in Random Town in eastern Sinnoh, but I've only ever lived in town since I was little. So asking me these questions is destined to be fruitless."

Faced with such a question, Xuan Mingtian could only tell the truth. After all, apart from visiting Xuefeng City and Xuefeng Temple on weekends, he hadn't really been anywhere else. Even his younger brother had been to more places than him.

"Well, okay then. If that's the case, then you all should definitely go and visit sometime. Let's continue introducing other places in this area."

The Sinnoh East region is full of life and has a variety of facilities, such as the Pokémon Contest venue in Homestead City, the Veiled Mall in Veiled City, the Great Wetlands in Nomad City, and the Navigation Lighthouse in Seaside City.

However, the book's introduction omits one place: Suiyuan Town. It's a place where nature and farmland combine, a perfect glimpse into rural life.

However, this is a matter of opinion, as not everyone prefers this kind of life. Especially for young people today, it's impossible to expect them to farm and cultivate the land.

All of the aforementioned cities have gyms, which are essential stops on the journey for League Challengers, except for Ruyi's Town.

Unlike the eastern and western regions, which are separated by the Tianguan Mountain range, the northern region is sparsely populated, with the main area consisting of only Xuefeng City.

Perhaps due to the snow blown down from the top of Mount Tenkan, the northern region is not only cold, but the journey north is also extremely treacherous.

Despite its relative isolation, Snowpeak City still has its own gym, making it an important stop for trainers hoping to challenge the Pokémon League.

However, many trainers choose to make it their final stop. This is probably because it is covered in ice and snow all year round, making it arguably the most difficult Sinnoh Gym battle for new trainers.

First, you have to cope with its harsh, cold weather; second, the Gym Leader is one of the strongest gyms in the Sinnoh region. So, without sufficient strength, going there will be pointless.

The third important sub-region is the Battle Zone, located on a huge island in the northeast of the Sinnoh continent.

Just as the people from the Seven Islands consider their home to be a region separate from Kanto and Johto, the people from the Battle Zone also consider their region to be independent of the Sinnoh region.

However, they still have to obey the league's orders, otherwise such regional division could easily lead to the Sinnoh League revoking their special zone status.

Several islands, including Crescent Island, Full Moon Island, and Iron Island, are located along the northwest coast of Sinnoh, though they are far less important than the Sinnoh continent in both size and significance.

The island where the Sinnoh League is located is separated from the Sinnoh continent and the Battle Zone by several straits. The only way to reach this island is Route 223.

The book is missing one point: you can use Flying Pokémon to get there. However, trainers who can use Flying Pokémon are still considered quite skilled.

The Sinnoh Victory Road is also located here. Unlike the previous Victory Road which had two entrances, this Victory Road has three entrances: the first is the southern entrance, which is inescapable for all trainers arriving from the Sinnoh continent. However, this applies only to outsiders.

The second route leads to the location where you challenge the Elite Four; the third route leads from the foggy area of ​​Victory Road to Route 224, which is also known as the microcosm of the Sinnoh region.

At the end of Route 224, you can reach the Flower Paradise where Shamy is located by taking the sea path.

Therefore, there are many paths to choose from in the Sinnoh Challenger Road.

The residents of the Sinnoh region tend to believe in myths and legends, and some towns even have bronze statues of ancient spirits. This is most prominent in Kyouka and Snowpeak City.

Next, let's talk about the climate of the Sinnoh region.

Unlike the warm southern Hoenn region, the Sinnoh region is located in the northern part of the Pokémon world.

This makes the Sinnoh region cold, with snow even falling year-round in the northern areas and rain in some southern areas.

In some parts of Sinnoh, snow can cover the entire road. Cities like Snowpeak City are completely covered in snow, and the local Pokémon have long been adapted to this climate.

Therefore, the number of Ice-type Pokémon in the northern snowfields or places where it snows all year round is far greater than in other parts of Sinnoh.

In about a month, the family will be preparing for winter. Xuan Mingtian doesn't mind, after all, he's experienced four winters at home. He's already used to it; if all else fails, he'll just have Brother Tuo set up a barrier.

There are also coniferous trees growing west of Tianguan Mountain, and broad-leaved trees growing east of Tianguan Mountain.

This shows that there has been an environmental change in tree types in the two areas separated by Tianguan Mountain.

Next is the history of the Sinnoh region, which is of utmost importance. Because every year, there's a question about Sinnoh's history on the final exam. It's definitely a free point.

According to the Sinnoh legend, in the chaos and turbulence, an egg appeared, which hatched into Arceus, who created the universe. The fragments from the creation time formed the Slate, which endowed all things with different powers.

Therefore, Arceus is highly revered in the Sinnoh region. However, Xuan Mingtian already knew this brief introduction in his previous life.

He even personally asked Brother Tuo on the weekend, and got the same result.

Arceus then created Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina, and gave them control over time, space, and antimatter, respectively. Also created at the same time were the Diamond Jewel, the Jade Jewel, and the Platinum Jewel.

Giratina was banished to a world of destruction because of his destructive influence on matter.

Therefore, historians refer to it as an exile event.

After successfully creating the Pokémon world, Dialga and Palkia returned to their own world, which can be reached from the Spear Pillar in Sinnoh.

After that, Arceus created Uxie, Memridor, and Azelf, giving all beings that came to the Elven world knowledge, emotions, and will.

Afterwards, these three spirits respectively entered Lake of Heart, Lake of Ambition, and Lake of Wisdom, and were known as the Lake Gods. With the creation of the spirit world complete, and having both matter and heart, Arceus then slumbered in the Temple of the Beginning.

According to Arceus's account, what slumbers in the Temple of the Beginning is merely an avatar of Arceus, though it possesses independent thought. However, calling it an avatar isn't entirely accurate.
