I, the elf, dig mines to support you

Chapter 1

The sky in Dark Gray City today is as blue as ever. Such a fine weather is naturally the most suitable place to sleep in the shade of a tree.

No, under a big tree not far from the Dark Gray Gym, Jiro, the second son of the previous owner of the Dark Gray City, was sleeping soundly.

And beside him, lay a Pokémon one-horned rhinoceros with ground + rock attributes in heavy armor. It was supposed to be irritable and vicious. When it was sleeping, its stubby hooves stretched out, and there was a snot bubble on its nose. It seemed to have an indescribable cuteness.

One person, one pet, just enjoying the afternoon sun, seemingly defenseless, but if someone pays close attention, they will find that those wild Pokémon, even the ferocious Lada, will walk around here.

It seems that there are some scourges in the shade of this tree.

After a long time, Jiro woke up slowly from his dream, stretched his waist, saw that the one-horned rhinoceros was still asleep, he lay back down again, and said with emotion.

"Unknowingly, my cheap brother is already 15 years old. If the world goes according to the plot, then it's time for that reckless boy from Zhenxin Town to travel this year."

"It won't be long before he will come to challenge the Dark Gray Gym. Not only will he take away the Gym's badge, but he will also abduct the eldest brother Xiao Gang."

"I don't know if this reality can be the same as in anime. According to my understanding of my eldest brother Xiaogang for so many years, he is not the kind who can rest assured that so many younger brothers and sisters will be taken care of by that unreliable father."

As a time traveler, when he knew that he became the second son of Wu Neng, a gymnasium in the dark gray city, he was actually a little desperate. According to the plot of the original book, all the members of this family except the mother squinted their eyes.
This is not to say that squinting eyes is not good, if this squinting eye looks like Fuji Shusuke who plays tennis, then he agrees with it [-] points, but the appearance of Wu Neng's family is really not flattering.

According to the original book, Xiaogang is responsible for the face value of the family.

Fortunately, his good looks are not enough, and his talents come together. According to his understanding of Pokémon, he doesn't talk about champion kings, but as long as he doesn't encounter such cheating monsters, it is not easy to win a few league championships.

It's just that the facts dealt him another heavy blow. In the real world, raising Pokémon is not as simple as in game novels. Among other things, since the history of the Wu clan, there has only been one heavenly king.

Why?

That's not caused by resources.

To be able to become a King-level Pokémon, the resources consumed by each Pokémon are astronomical. Someone has counted that the resources consumed by a King-level Pokémon can be used to build a small city from scratch.

One can imagine what an astronomical sum that was.

The Wu Clan was able to cultivate the Heavenly King at the beginning, relying on the ore veins and evolutionary stones on Yuejian Mountain.

But ever since Yuejianshan was attacked by the Rockets once, the alliance temporarily took over Yuejianshan on the grounds of fighting crime, and after taking over, there was no intention of returning it.

Without the resources of Yuejian Mountain, the Wu clan quickly declined in the resource-poor place of Dark Gray City.

Take a look at Xiaogang, the owner of the museum. The Pokémon he owns are the two common street goods on the roadside, the Big Rock Snake and the Little Fist Stone.

Simply put, it is poor.

Of course, this poverty refers to the cultivation of Pokémon, and it is in charge of the top eight dark gray gyms in the Kanto area. There is still no shortage of eating, drinking, and scavenging.

With this gym, it is not a problem to raise 11 children.

Yes, Jiro's arrival didn't change Wu Neng and his wife. They still gave birth to a lot of children, and the number was one more than in the original book.

According to them, this is to exploit the alliance's loopholes, because the alliance stipulates that gymnasiums can recruit apprentices, and these apprentices are given financial subsidies by the alliance every year.

As the owner of the gymnasium, his own children can directly have the apprenticeship of the gymnasium. In this way, if there is an extra child, there will be an extra income. Wouldn't it be flattering.

Of course, this unreliable couple could only come up with such unreliable things, and it's not like they haven't done even more unreliable things.

Just two years ago, the two of them said that they wanted to improve their strength through travel, and they left their family behind one after another. At that time, Xiao Gang was 13 years old and had no choice but to support the family.

Take a look, is this something parents can do?The youngest twins, Xiaoshi and Xiaoshi, have just learned to walk.

But regardless of his unreliable parents, as Xiaogang's younger brother, Jiro can only say two words, comfortable, in various senses.

Without him, the ability of the eldest brother Xiaogang is too strong. Even though he is only 13 years old, his ability to take care of others can be called top-notch. Not only has his housework ability reached the full level, but he is also worthy of fighting Pokémon.

So even as the second brother in the family, he can enjoy such a leisurely afternoon.

Sometimes he has to rejoice that his eldest brother in this life is Xiao Gang.

"Ni-chan, Jiro-chan, it's not good."

Just when Jiro was deep in thought, the anxious shout made him stand up reflexively, looking at Jiro in the original book, the current Saburo ran towards him profusely in sweat, and he asked quickly:
"Sanlang, what's wrong with the brothers and sisters? Take me there quickly."

"No, it's not." Saburo gasped a few times, then took his hand, pulled him home, and said while pulling, "When I just came, the Alliance Inspector was fighting against Little Gangni-chan, and the situation was very bad."

"He seems to be losing. If we lose the battle, our dark gray gymnasium will lose the qualification to issue badges."

"Huh?" Hearing this, Jiro raised his brows. If he remembered correctly, when the Alliance Inspector appeared in the original book, it should be a few years later.

At that time, the gymnasium was in charge of Saburo in front of him. He used the final evolution of a one-horned rhinoceros to fight against the opponent's Latias. Although he lost in the end, he was recognized by the opponent and barely kept the dark gray gymnasium.

Why is the plot of the original work brought forward a few years later?

It's just that now is not the time to worry about this. After Jiro took the one-horned rhino back to the poke ball, he immediately followed Saburo back to the gym.

When they entered the gymnasium, the battle was coming to an end. The elves fighting on the field were Big Rock Snake and Latias. With Latias' last shot of steel wings, Big Rock Snake finally fell to the ground, unable to fight any more.

"Why? Our dark gray gymnasium, is it over?"

San Lang's eyes paled, as if he couldn't accept the reality, while the other younger brothers and sisters who were already sensible were even more desperate. Only Xiao Gang took back the big rock snake silently, covering up the sadness in his heart with a calm face.

Just like his name, Gang means strong.

As the pillar of ten younger brothers and sisters, no matter how sad he is, he must never cry.

But at this moment, the alliance inspector suddenly said: "You lost. From this battle, I didn't see how you, as the gym owner, can hone the alliance trainers. According to the regulations, I should report to the alliance and suspend the issuance of badges by the dark gray gymnasium."

"but."

"If you promise me a condition, this matter is not non-negotiable."

　Ask for support, thank you
