Dawn of Pokémon

Golden City [Japanese: ヤマブキシティ, Yamabuki_City, English: Saffron_City] is one of the most prosperous cities in the Kanto region.

This huge steel city extending in all directions is located in Hualan City, Rainbow City, Kuye City and Ziyuan Town.It is not only the central business circle of the Kanto region, but also has a population second only to the capital Mihara City. It is also a famous city in other regions and even foreign countries.

"ヤマブキ" originally means "mountain blowing" and refers to a plant that is often called mountain blowing, Ditang flower.The meaning of "shanchui color" is the color of Ditang flower, which is brilliant golden.

It is said that Jinhuang City was once a quiet town with "mountain-colored" tiled roofs.However, with the rapid development of science and technology, today's Golden City has become an iconic modern city image with numerous high-rise buildings and busy traffic. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to change its name to "Steel City" or "High-rise Property City".

A few days ago, the "Risheng Pavilion", a historic building built in the early days of the alliance, was razed to the ground and converted into a commercial building complex.Taking this incident as a trigger, several scholars jointly wrote a letter, proposing that the mayor of Jinhuang City should strengthen the protection and construction of urban culture, calling for the name "Jinhuang" to be implemented in real terms instead of building it into a cookie-cutter city. Modern City.

This proposal triggered a lot of thinking and discussion at the time, and tens of millions of netizens gathered to respond. However, now that everything has settled, the incident that set off a wave on the Internet has not really had any impact.

Economic and social development trends are like roaring waves. It is more difficult to slow down and take care of other things under the involuntary driving force than to move forward quickly.Under the weightless acceleration, culture and feelings often become tragic victims.

Because it is located in a bustling city with a large flow of people, the scale of public service facilities is very different from other cities.The maglev train station connecting the Kanto and Johto areas attracts many tourists. Many people even take a round trip to experience the 550km/h high speed.

The Pokémon Center in Golden City is also quite eye-catching. It is an eleven-story building standing next to the main street.Except for the service area on the first floor, the entire second floor and above are dormitories for trainers to rest.

After collecting the recovered Pokémon, Xiaoye walked out of the crowded Pokémon Center.Pichu, who was almost suffocated, lay on Xiaoye's shoulder and complained feebly.

"There are a lot of people here...and they always feel bad breath." Pichu's little ears drooped sadly.

Golden City not only has the Golden Gym, which is famous for its strength, but there are also many officially certified trainer gyms.Therefore, there are so many trainers gathered in Golden City that they often fill the spacious hall of the Pokémon Center.

Surrounded by powerful trainers, it's no wonder Pichu felt uncomfortable.

The gathering of trainers has caused the business of the Golden Gym to be extremely busy. Trainers who want to challenge the gym must make an appointment and queue up a week in advance.When Xiao Ye was in Ziyuan Town, she used the Pokémon Center computer to make an appointment, and the agreed time was today, March 3st.

The Pokémon Center and Golden Gym are both located near the city center.Walking on the street, the criss-crossing overpasses made Xiao Ye feel a little confused - if it weren't for the navigation function of the electronic map in the Pokédex, she might have gotten lost in this city with many tall buildings.

Looking at the skyline in the distance, among the many buildings, there is a particularly conspicuous silver-gray tall building pointing straight into the sky, with a trademark shaped like the letter "S" hanging on the wall of the building.

That is the office building of Silph Co. [Japanese: シルフカンパニー, English: Silph_Co.], a leader in manufacturing Pokémon-related products.

This powerful company has a history of nearly 200 years. Its establishment created the basic technology of today's Poke Balls, completed the feat of industrialization and assembly line production of Poke Balls, and continued to expand and innovate on this basis.

In the two regions of Kanto and Johto, Silver Company dominates the entire market with a near-monopoly.Most of the products sold in the Friendly Shop are from Silver Company, such as various elf balls, move learning tools, wound medicine, or the Silver Viewing Mirror rented from the Ossuary Tower.The bottom of the Immutable Stone carried by Xiaoye's Fire Dinosaur is also engraved with a line of small words, "Produced by Silver Company".

As for the emerging company born in recent decades, Dewen Manufacturing Co., Ltd. in the Fengyuan region has developed extremely fast, and its strength is said to be comparable to that of the established Silver Company.However, even so, Silver Company still has an overwhelming advantage in market share in the Kanto and Johto regions.

Silver's philosophy is to "use technology to closely connect humans and Pokémon."Its development model of steady progress, safety and reliability has a very good reputation in the industry.

Xiaoye once saw such a rumor on the GT forum - five years ago, Silver Company secretly developed a method of manufacturing the "Master Ball" with a [-]% capture rate.And for some unknown reason, Silver Company, which originally planned to make it a key business project, suddenly changed its strategy and completely hid this technology.In the same year, the Pokémon League revised the law, making it a crime to attempt to research and manufacture Master Balls, and completely prohibiting in-depth research on Master Ball technology.

Whether Silver's company successfully produced the Master Ball is unknown.However, the new laws enacted by the Alliance are indeed true.It was no secret at the time that the Silver Company had researched the development technology of the Master Ball.And why did the Pokémon League suddenly enact this law only a few years after the research began?Could it be that the finished product of the Master Ball caused some negative consequences?

There are different opinions on this issue on the forum.But no matter what, the existence of the "Master Ball" has since become a legend. No one knows what the story is behind it, and no one knows whether it ever existed.

I wonder if there will be a Master Ball in the product list of White Crow Underground Dueling Ground.

Walking past Silver Company's tall office building, this thought suddenly flashed through Xiaoye's mind.

However, even if this kind of high-tech product that often appears in urban legends does exist, the price tag must be extremely terrifying.

Xiaoye didn't know why the league urgently banned the development of Master Ball technology, but Xiaoye absolutely supported this decision.The Pokémon League has always advocated the concept of "friendly coexistence between humans and Pokémon."Regardless of the will of the Pokémon, forcibly capturing the Master Ball is undoubtedly contrary to the expectations of the Alliance.

After crossing several overpasses, the sign of the gym on the building is clearly visible.

The square in front of the building has a standard battle venue.At this time, many pedestrians were surrounding one of the arenas, talking a lot.

"It seems like the kid Dazhi is going to lose again."

"There's nothing I can do about it. Asaka is a direct disciple of Golden Gym Leader Nazi, so there's no way she can be defeated so easily."

"And she's using a super-type Pokémon that can overpower the Fighting-type."

"Ambition is not easy. How many times has this been your challenge?"

Listening to the low-pitched discussions of passers-by, Xiaoye raised her eyes and looked up.

The battle arena was raised about half a meter from the ground, and the surrounding fence was a dazzling golden color.In the ring, Wrist and Casey stood opposite each other.The brown-haired boy, who looked to be no more than eleven or twelve years old, wiped his sweat with his sleeves, gritted his teeth and stared at the girl opposite him, who was the same age as him and had a leisurely smile on her face.
