Dawn of Pokémon

The commotion caused by the poachers gradually subsided, and the stolen Pokémon were returned to their owners.Trainers are leaving Rainbow Elementary School one after another - this is probably the most tragic Green Field Cup in history.

The owner of Lijia Hall is said to be on her way back to Rainbow City, but it will still take a long time before she arrives.Since there was nothing else that needed help, Xiaoye stopped staying at the scene to cause trouble and returned to the Pokémon Center early.

While waiting to meet Xinghai, Xiaoye carefully checked Xinghai's business card.There are a few lines of writing concisely printed on the clean white card, which seems to be a work-specific version.

[First-level investigator of the Kanto branch of the Pokémon League Investigation Department·Kamyu Seikai]

The profession of "Investigator" is well-known among trainers - their mission is to fight crime, fight against illegal organizations, and often fight against criminals with powerful weapons. They are also among the best among all professional trainers. By.

They have a very high reputation in the hearts of the people, and are often the highest dream for professional trainers.They enjoy and bear everyone's trust. Even Xiaoye, who has very little understanding of the world, has already known about the existence of this group of people.

Xiaoye once heard Xiaotian mention that her future goal is to work in the investigation department - it must be directly related to her father's influence.

Since the meeting time had not yet come, Xiaoye simply used the public computer at the Pokémon Center to look up the investigator's relevant information.And the information obtained is equally surprising.

The investigator is an elite profession, and the level classification is also very simple, divided into level one, level two and level three.The total number of investigators in each region is around a hundred, and the highest-ranking "First Class Investigator" never exceeds ten.

For security reasons, the identity information of second- and third-level investigators is protected by the alliance, and their true appearance and name are rarely known outside the circle.However, the first-level investigator did the opposite, no longer hiding his identity, and revealed his true face openly and openly.

"Because they are strong enough, so strong that they are no longer afraid of hidden arrows. They are strong enough to be used as a symbol of strength, a symbol of alliance, a symbol of peace. Just a name can deter the enemy." - This is the encyclopedia entry. Exact words.

As an "ancient person" who does not have a mobile phone and cannot receive real-time information, Xiaoye doesn't know much about their information.In fact, these first-level investigators, with less than ten people in each region, have already become the focus of every trainer and every citizen of the alliance, and their popularity is as good as that of celebrities.

"Hey, that violent maniac is actually such a powerful person??"

After finally explaining to Pichu what "First Class Investigator" meant, the electric mouse showed an expression of surprise.

"Well... then, I will reluctantly stop shocking him in a while." Pichu pouted, making a magnanimous gesture.

Night:"……"

Really, even though you have been baptized by the murderous spirit, you still don't learn a lesson?

Although she and Pichu felt Xinghai's aggressive murderous aura, Xiaoye's reaction was far less violent than Pichu's.As early as on the other side of the world, Xiaoye had become accustomed to vicious people, and even her body's instinct to avoid danger disappeared under the control of reason.

The appointed time is gradually approaching.At 53:[-] in the evening, Xiaoye saw a young man wearing a long windbreaker, sunglasses, hat and other equipment walking into the Pokémon Center.

"Long wait, Xiaoye." Xinghai nodded to Xiaoye and sat across from Xiaoye with a smile.Unfortunately, the wide sunglasses covered the upper half of her face, and Xiaoye could only see the slightly raised corners of Xinghai's mouth.

"Good evening, Mr. Xinghai."

"Good evening. You're so early."

"No, I just arrived too." Seeing that Xinghai showed no intention of taking off his sunglasses and hat, Xiaoye thought for a while and said, "Do we need to change places?"

As one of the seven first-level investigators of the Kanto branch, Sekai is undoubtedly a well-known figure among trainers.If you walk around the Pokémon Center unprepared, you may be surrounded by people soon.

"It's okay." Xinghai waved his hands carelessly and said with a smile, "After getting used to this look, I think it's quite handsome."

"..."

"...Your Pichu doesn't seem to agree with what I say?"

"Ah, I'm sorry..." Xiaoye covered Pichu's contemptuous half-moon eyes with her hands as she was about to cry.

"Hahaha, this little guy is so cute." Xinghai let out a hearty laugh, and even couldn't help but reach out to tease the electric mouse with a look of disgust - of course it received the other side's lightning flash to avoid it.

"Well, Mr. Xinghai..." Worried that the electric mouse would turn into a discharge mouse if it continued like this, Xiaoye quickly changed the topic randomly, "You came to Rainbow City because you have a job, right?"

Retracting his hand, Xinghai replied with a smile: "Well, that's right. I received the task of tracking down an arms smuggling case."

Xiaoye originally thought that the investigator's mission was absolutely confidential, but Xinghai was stunned when Xinghai told the mission content so frankly.In Xiaoye's silence, Xinghai had already continued the topic.

"It's not right to say it's just one case. It involves many events." Xinghai said, "For example...you should have heard of the Enterprise Building fire incident a year ago, right?"

"I know." Xiaoye nodded immediately, "It was the accident that caused a lot of casualties, right?"

"Yes, that accident has some connection with the case I am investigating." Xinghai described the difficulty of the task he took over in a few words, "And...the arrangement for me to complete this task is actually related to a certain person a week ago. It’s related to an incident.”

The silver-haired young man thought for a moment, and his ice-blue eyes behind his sunglasses locked his gaze on the face of the person opposite him, "Do you know the Himi family?"

"Himami refers to...the "Western Himi"? Xiao Ye replied with some surprise, not knowing why this surname appeared here.

Source in the east, Hyoumi in the west, and Kageyama in the center—these are the three famous nobles in the Pokémon League today.Different from the concept of aristocratic families, most families that can be called "aristocratic" have a unique character after a long period of accumulation.Even among the three most powerful families, Xia Yang, Kageyama, and Igarashi, only the Kageyama family can be called nobles.

"Himi of the West" refers to the Himi family living in the Hoenn region.They have a history of thousands of years and are famous for their ice-cold demeanor. Most of their members are proficient in cultivating ice-type Pokémon and are said to possess special abilities that have been passed down for thousands of years.

"That's right." Xinghai nodded, his eyes still focused under the cover of sunglasses, "A week ago, several members of the Himi family were suspected of witnessing situations related to arms smuggling, and were therefore attacked by the enemy. Only one of the five survived."

Xiaoye thought for a moment and then said clearly, "That's it."

As a great nobleman with a history of thousands of years, the Himi family will never sit back and watch their clan members being murdered and remain indifferent. They must have already used various means to promote the progress of the case.

"And..." Xinghai smiled, "I also have a few friends in the Himi family. Even for them, I will pursue this matter to the end."

"Then, I wish you good luck in your mission." Xiaoye also smiled.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but there was a hint of probing in Xinghai's words.Generally speaking, it is impossible to reveal so much information to a new trainer whom you have just met.Xiaoye could not deduce the true meaning that Xinghai wanted to express, but she did not know anything about it, and it was enough to show her true side.

"Thank you."

Looking into the girl's clear and magnanimous eyes, the silver-haired young man slowly looked away.

"Night."

"what?"

Xinghai picked up a bag from his hand and stuffed it into Xiaoye without any explanation, "It's so boring just chatting here. Here you go, this is Rainbow City's famous 'sun cake', you haven't eaten it yet, right?"

"……Eh?"

Holding the pastry bag with both hands, Xiaoye looked at the young man opposite with a blank expression as he took out the same pastry and started eating it with a smile, "Since we are sitting in the dining area, it would be more appropriate to eat something to suit the occasion, right?"

"Hey, ah...thank you...how much does this cost?"

"Hahaha, of course you don't need to pay. I am a senior and I should treat you."

"Well, I understand...thank you."

"You've said thank you too many times."

The small snacks that were still warm were taken out, letting the sweet smell fill the surroundings.The silver-haired young man's words finally no longer contained any barriers, and he poured warmth into his smile without reservation.

"Nice to meet you, Xiaoye."
