Pokémon World Adventure

As night fell, Minato returned to the fishing pontoon again after dinner.

Although the fishing pontoon at night is not as lively as during the day, it is still brightly lit and crowded with people, and the sounds of fighting and cheers are endless.

Different from the daytime, the fishing pontoon at night has another popular name - Challenger Promenade!

This is a paradise for braves, and fighting is the keynote here!

"Minato! You're here again today!" A bald man wearing a security uniform smiled and waved to Minato.

"Well, Brother Harada, which bridge is more interesting to take today?" Minato stepped forward and asked.

This bald man’s name is Harada Daichi and he is the guard at the entrance of the Challenger Gallery. First of all, there are people controlling and managing this place and it is not the random and spontaneous behavior of trainers. Secondly, there are standards for entering the Challenger Gallery, that is, you must at least You have to have a badge.

This is a gathering place for elite trainers. The entry requirements alone have blocked out a lot of newbies. Those who are qualified to enter have defeated at least one gym leader. Of course, as long as you have the strength, you can get in even if you don't have a badge and just find someone to defeat him.

It occupies a large area and has beautiful scenery during the day. It is a tourist attraction and there are fierce battles at night. Route 15 has been gathering a large number of middle and upper-class trainers all year round. Even many financial groups and nobles who want to recruit talents will come here first to take a look... …

"Let me take a look..." Harada took out the book he carried with him and looked through it. He would write down the powerful and potential people who appeared in the Challenger Gallery one by one. On the one hand, this kind of information is very popular among intelligence dealers. Well, the other aspect is gambling.

Yes, gambling, to put it bluntly, it is gambling. The first person to develop the Challenger Corridor was the then-declined Uegi family. This family was originally the home of the underworld. When it was the most powerful, it controlled most of the entertainment industry in the southeastern Kanto region!

It's a pity that the family has been passed down for three generations. If you want to clear your name, you won't be able to clear it up. During this period, you were suppressed by the completely rising League and the Rockets. The League at its peak and the Rockets once led by Sakaki's mother were really unstoppable. The Uegi clan controlled The territory was swallowed up by these two giants almost instantly...

It wasn't until the league gradually stabilized and the Rockets slowly retired to seclusion that the Ueki family, which was still lingering here, became active again. The former entertainment industry giant still has its heritage and discovered and developed this challenger corridor.

The promenade built on the basis of the pontoon has only one entrance and exit, and the middle is continuously extended in a network. Each node is a place for tourists to rest and repair during the day. At night, it will be set up as a temporary fighting venue, with all the necessary equipment. It's all available. Professional referees, treatment teams, venue protection measures, and even extremely generous rewards for trainers who complete the corridor challenge.

Through various means, the Shangmu family has kept a large number of high-end trainers here, and these trainers have also brought them unimaginable wealth!

Rich people take cruise ships to watch games and participate in gambling. If there are outstanding talents they like, the Shangmu family will help them introduce and recruit them... The benefits generated are not a small amount, and more importantly, the Shangmu family passes the challenger The corridor has received a large number of talents, and only those with power in their hands have enough voices to speak!

Of course, this has no effect on Minato. He doesn't care much about rewards or recruitment. He only knows that there are countless masters and exciting battles here!

"Okay, how about you take a look at 2306? There was a very powerful trainer with the Danzan King who entered from the 2nd bridge just now, and Mizuno, who had won eight consecutive victories before, walked to the 1st bridge and should meet you. We met in the sixth or seventh round..." Harada said, pointing to a route on the notebook.

这里的2306当然不是指第2306条桥了，而是第一次走2号桥第二次3号第三次6号的意思，

There are a total of four forked roads from the entrance, and each road extends to two forked roads at the end. At each intersection, you can only move forward by defeating your opponent. To complete the corridor challenge, you need to win nine times in a row to reach the exit and become the only one. winner!

"Mizuno? That guy with only half of his hair?" Minato raised his eyebrows. He had come to challenge twice before. The first time he tried the water, he gave up after three games. The second time he was quite serious, but The electric beast lost his temper temporarily and managed to fight until the seventh round, but had to admit defeat. If he wins that match, Mizuno will be the next one to fight Minato.

"Yes, yes, that's that guy! It's a shame that I gave him money last time and he didn't live up to his expectations. He's just on the verge of a last-ditch kick. This grandson just can't get out!" Harada said angrily, stroking his bald head.

"By the way Minato, you won't bring a disobedient elf here again today, will you? If you come here steadily and honestly, I will put all the pressure on you." Harada was half teasing and half serious. The last game was really shocking. First, Minato, a dark horse, suddenly appeared and made it to the third to last round without anyone paying attention. Looking at the high odds, the gamblers who accidentally got the better of Minato almost went crazy with joy. Before they could be happy for a long time, they finally made such an own goal, which is really unforgettable...

Excluding the last mistake, Harada has been working here for seven or eight years. He still has a good eye for who has what kind of strength. There are nearly two hundred people participating in each competition, although he cannot say who will definitely win. But there is still some knowledge of who the strongest among a group of people are.

These people Harada will deliberately look for opportunities to get close to each other, and newcomers like Minato who are capable and have a lot of problems are the easiest to hook up with. Ishihara can make a lot of money as long as he is willing to follow the route he gives!

The aura is extremely tense, constantly expanding and contracting outwards... The seemingly friendly bald man in front of him is actually full of greed and good at hiding his emotions, Minato thought calmly. However, everyone has their own way of living. It is quite reasonable for him to get information from others for free and for others to lend him money to make some money on the way.

"Then I'll go this way. I'm a little late today and I have to finish the challenge quickly..." Minato said, striding onto the pontoon and walking directly from Bridge No. 2. There was nothing to think about. He was originally I came here to experience myself, and the opponents here are all the same.

There are only one person walking alone on the long pontoon, and the evening breeze makes it feel a little lonely. And Minato grinned involuntarily. This feeling of meeting an unknown challenge was really exciting. .

Arriving at the first intersection, the trainer who failed in the previous battle had been waiting for him for a long time. As long as Minato defeats the opponent, he can move forward. Otherwise, he has to stay and guard the level on behalf of the opponent.

"Are both trainers ready?" The referee immediately began to ask after Minato completely walked onto the field.

"Ready." Minato pulled up his sleeves.

"I'm ready too!" The trainer wearing a peaked cap opposite was not so calm. He had already lost a lot before, but he also knew the person who came this time. That's right, this peaked cap happened to be there when Minato challenged him last time...

"Okay then, only one elf can be used by both sides. During this period, props cannot be used and no elf can be exchanged... The game begins!"

As soon as the whistle sounded, two elf balls flew out at the same time! On Cap's side was a strong Kentero, while Minato sent Bulbasaur. The two elves looked at each other and immediately launched an attack! The flying leaves, which are as big as a washbasin, exert great power and create sparks with Kentero's horns!

Tonight's battle officially begins!

…Meanwhile, Gopher Hole…

There was a rumble in the spacious passage, and two members of Team Rocket, a man and a woman, fled with a meow screaming in fear. What was chasing behind them was the group of large rock snakes that had chased Minato...
