I'm not a supporting character in Pokemon

All over the city.

The capital city of Yuzhou is also called the center of Yuzhou.

It covers an area twice that of Qingcheng and is several times more prosperous than Qingcheng. It has beautiful scenery and is known as "Paradise on Earth".

At the same time, as a famous commercial city in the Zhuxia region, the permanent population here is as high as eight million!

What is the concept of eight million?

It is different from the country in the previous life with a population of 1.4 billion and 34 provincial administrative regions.

The population of the Zhuxia region in this world is only over 200 million, and the region is only divided into nine major states.

Therefore, Mancheng, with a population of eight million, is well deserved to be called the center of Yuzhou.

When Li Xiang arrived in the city in Ms. Yin's car, it was enveloped by a steady rain.

Under the gray clouds, the city is full of darkness and brilliance, which has a unique flavor.

There are parasol trees on both sides of the road like guardians, dew-covered flowers and bushes under the trees, colorful withered yellow lights on the street, shops shrouded in warm colors, people talking and laughing on the sidewalk, passers-by and elves holding umbrellas.

What a beautiful view.

Li Xiang touched the cold car glass and felt that the raindrops hitting the window also gave off a fresh smell.

This is completely different from the strong smell of dust rising from the road when it rained in the previous life.

The main thing is that the greening is done well.

He sighed and touched the fire-spotted meow squeezed against his thigh.

The little cat hates rainy days, so much that it wouldn't even leave the house if Li Xiang wasn't by his side.

"Do you like it here?"

Seeing the dazzled look in Li Xiang's eyes in the rearview mirror, Ms. Yin asked abruptly.

"No, I just like the weather with a little rain."

Li Xiang replied with a smile, "It's the feeling of hiding under a safe roof, my nose full of moisture, the air cool but not cold, which makes me wake up in an instant."

The drizzle is continuous, like a lover caressing your skin.

The fire-spotted cat raised its head. Although it couldn't understand Li Xiang's words, it could still see the longing for the outside world in his eyes.

Yes, longing.

It's like looking at catnip these past few days but not being allowed to eat it.

Li Xiang's eyes looked out the window, full of longing and desire.

Is the rainy day... nice?

Huobanmao is a little confused. It doesn't like rainy days, just like it doesn't like water, but if Li Xiang likes it...

It's willing to adapt.

"Meow."

A cool cat meow sounded next to Huobanmeia's ears.

Huoban Miao turned his head and saw Dong Shi Miao lazily yawning, and his amber eyes swept across Li Xiang's face.

"Meow~"

No need to force it? What does it mean?

"Meow?"

Huobanmao asked Dongshimao curiously. The little guy was still young and it was difficult to understand some literate vocabulary.

Dong Shimiao waved his paws and told him that everyone has what they are good at and what they are not good at. Instead of trying to accommodate others, force yourself to accept things that you cannot accept.

It is better to practice what you are good at so that you can become more proficient.

The fire-spotted cat responded with a vague understanding.

…

City Rangers Alliance.

A place where nature and modern technology collide.

The people who work here are called rangers. They use hunting cursors, which are completely different from Poké Balls. They can temporarily draw on the power of wild elves.

These people are dedicated to protecting elves who have been abused by humans, saving people who are suffering in the wild, and ensuring the stability and prosperity of nature.

In short, it is to maintain the balance between nature, elves and humans.

A great profession.

Without them, urban greening in this world would never be as good as it is now.

The sewage and waste gas from those factories, as well as the large amount of garbage produced by humans, will probably continue to erode the world.

It even reaches the point of oppressing the living space of wild elves like in the Kanto special chapter.

No one knows what the final consequences will be.

Anyway, Li thought he could think of seven or eight not-so-good outcomes.

certainly.

Those things are not destined to happen in this world.

Back to business.

Li Xiang's purpose of coming to Mancheng this time is undoubtedly to find out what happened to Huobanmao.

The person who can help him is an old man in the Mancheng Patrolmen's Alliance who is respectfully called Professor Qian.

It is said that Professor Qian Kangqian is an authority on the study of individual differences in elves. He has a very high status in the academic world, and many big names in scientific research are his students.

It is natural that such an important person cannot spend a lot of time casually on the elf who is the son of the director of a conservation base.

The reason why he was able to condescend to help was because Su Yiliu had some connections and introduced her to Ms. Yin.

Li Xiang didn't know exactly what he paid.

But he understood that if he continued like this, most of the favors he had accumulated would not be repaid in his lifetime.

Really, people don’t know what to say.

I'm afraid this is what the so-called noble people help.

Ms. Yin led us deep into the base.

Less than ten minutes.

Li Xiang saw Professor Qian with frosty white temples and some bald spots.

The old man was sitting on a wooden chair, silently drinking water from an enamel teacup.

There were several people sitting or standing around him. They looked relatively young, but they didn't speak, as if they were waiting for something.

Although the time was agreed upon in advance, judging from the looks of these people, they must have been waiting for a while.

This made Ms. Yin feel a little flattered.

Li Xiang also straightened his posture, not daring to show an expression that was too frivolous.

After all, you are asking for help from others.

Fortunately.

These big shots are all very kind, including the "little brothers" around them, who are very polite to Ms. Yin, and even say hello cheerfully to Li Xiang, an eleven-year-old child.

Li Xiang responded politely and handed the fire spot cat to several other people honestly.

Now that we are here, we can only obey the other party's arrangements.

With Professor Qian's reputation and Su Yiliu's reliability, Huobanmiao wouldn't be harmed at all.

There is no need to waste the fame that I have accumulated over the years on a little brat like you.

Again.

This is the base of the Rangers Alliance.

The place in the Zhuxia region that was least likely to harm an elf was right here.

Other places may harbor dirt and evil, but the possibility here is infinitely close to zero.

Why?

Because the operating principle of the hunting cursor is to rely on the sincere heart of the ranger to convey his thoughts through the hunting saucer, thereby connecting with the wild elves.

Any evil thoughts will not be recognized by wild elves.

Not to mention that there is a more powerful chief ranger above the ordinary rangers.

Once these people are corrupted, they are equivalent to losing the qualification to become rangers.

This is the so-called threshold.

…

Checking the condition of the fire-spotted cat is definitely not something that happens overnight.

In this regard, Li Xiang couldn't get in the way, even if Huobanmao was his own elf.

Because he is not professional enough, he cannot understand many instruments and terminology, and he is too young to get in the way, so he can only wait outside with Dong Shi Miao and the others.

Ms. Yin could understand it, and she happened to be inside, together with Hua Shi Huanhuan.

lounge.

"Are you afraid that I'll be bored?"

Li Xiang looked at the flying chess in front of him and twitched his lips.

Ludo cannot be played by one person, but Li Xiang is not alone.

There were two cats in front of him.

But right now, he was not in the mood to play Ludo.

I was so panicked.

Then.

As if predicting his anxiety.

A middle-aged man wearing casual clothes and flip-flops, with brown-red braids on the back of his head and an unshaven beard, lazily walked over with a toothpick in his mouth.

"Li Xiang?"

He ruffled the hair that made programmers jealous.

Wow, smokey voice.

It's just that I don't look good in dressing up.

Li Xiang raised his head and nodded gently at this man who was probably the same age as his father.

"it's me."

"Okay, come with me."

The man clicked his tongue, not because he had any objection to Li Xiang, but because there was something stuck between his teeth.

He even shaved it twice with a toothpick, probably just after eating.

Li Xiang was unmoved and asked, "Who are you?"

"One of the employees here, my name is Zhong Hai, you can call me Uncle Zhong, was sent to show you around this base."

Zhong Hai didn't look too impatient and explained in detail, which seemed a little different from his rough appearance.

He said to Li Xiang: "Come on, no one dares to abduct you in this place."

His posture is casual, he is dressed casually and casually.

Under normal circumstances, Li Xiang would not pay attention to such a suspicious person.

But in this situation, he can be confident, which proves that this guy has no problem.

Furthermore——

"Mongoose Slash!"

Li Xiang looked at the big white humanoid cat who pushed the door in and closed the door politely, his eyes slightly bright.

The latter was startled by him.

Mongoose Zhan, an elf with general attributes, has a huge furry body and two sharp, dark claws.

There are many lightning-like red hairs on the pure white body, which looks quite cool.

For an ancestral cat lover like Li Xiang, Mongoose Zhan is definitely a good-looking elf.

Not to mention the huge hairball-like tail behind it.

"Can I touch it, Uncle Zhong?"

Li Xiang looked at Zhong Hai with expectant eyes. Mongoose Slash was more tempting to him than visiting the base.

——The two cats who had fallen out of favor for no apparent reason were speechless.

This little heartless guy doesn’t do it once or twice anyway.

On Zhong Hai's side, he obviously didn't expect Li Xiang to be so fond of his elf, and looked at each other with the rather flustered Mongoose Zhan.

"sure."

Zhong Hai ignored Mongoose Zhan's refusal and agreed.

Mongoose Zhan was furious, but before it could protest, Li Xiang hugged its tail.

"Guss~"

For a moment, as if a sensitive point had been poked, the meerkat's cries turned into the cute cries of the empress, and there was even a trace of blush on the cool cat's face.

Li Xiang smiled and stroked the big fluffy fur ball. Nothing could warm people's hearts more than a stuffed animal. Holding it, Li Xiang's originally irritable mood was relieved.

"Guss..."

Meerkat Zhan was a little helpless. It wanted to refuse Li Xiang's touch, but it was helpless because his skills were so good that he often attacked its sensitive reflex areas, leaving it with no chance to break free.

If it came by force, it would be afraid of hurting Li Xiang...

Alas...no way.

Since this thing can't resist, it has no choice but to enjoy it reluctantly.

Meerkat Zhan showed a look of death, and then waves of pleasure surged into its cerebral cortex, causing it to purr shamelessly.

The guy is very good at his crafts~
