Dawn of Pokémon

My name is Yusa Shintaro, I am ten years old and a new trainer from Joban City.

I was born in an ordinary family with ordinary parents. I started my journey as a trainer in an ordinary way on January [-]st this year.Now I am living an ordinary study life in a not-so-ordinary college.

A few days ago, senior Kazuhiko passed the graduation test and officially became a member of the Orange Team of the Kouki Association.I'm so envious - I really want to graduate from the academy as soon as possible.

However, for me as a first grader, it seems too early to think about this?

No matter what, the first priority now is to study hard and get high scores.Compared with Kazuhiko-senpai, who is always in the top five in grade in practical classes, I am still far behind.

Therefore, we must work harder in order to become a brave——

[April 27, [-], [-]:[-] in the morning, Air and Land Red/District, student dormitory]

"...Ah, no, I almost fell asleep!"

The brown-haired boy shook his head vigorously to drive away his sleepiness, and stuffed all the food on the plate into his mouth.

Sure enough, I'm still not used to it...such an empty and quiet dormitory.

Putting down the half-drunk milk, Shintaro looked at the empty seat opposite and sighed.

Takeuchi Kazuhiko is now a formal member of the Orange Group of the Kouki Club, and of course he will no longer live in the red/zone student dormitory.After passing the assessment, Kazuhiko packed all his luggage resolutely and officially moved to the Orange/Zone a few days ago.

Kazuhiko was not immediately assigned a job by the orange team, so he could find free time from time to time and return to the red/zone for a few rounds.However, even so, the time he and his juniors met became very few.

For Shintaro, who is used to doing morning exercises and having breakfast with Kazuhiko in the early morning, this week has been a bit lonely.

"It always feels like senior has reached a place where he is almost out of sight..." The young man muttered to himself as he lay on the table.

Takeuchi Kazuhiko, who is in Kouki Academy, is outstanding, but all his achievements are like a bulletin board hanging above his head, making it easy for Shintaro to see the back of his seniors.But now that Kazuhiko has entered the orange group, his connection with the red group will definitely become less and less.What progress has he made, what results has he achieved, and will he have stronger and more reliable teammates?These are not things that a first-year student in the red group can know anymore.

Once you can't see the clear back of the person leading the way, you will instinctively fall into the panic of "Have you been left behind?"For teenagers, this is a very common and difficult thought.

After simply washing the tableware, Shintaro was carrying his schoolbag and preparing to set off when he suddenly saw something on the table that shouldn't be there.

"This is... senior's notebook?" Shintaro opened it and flipped through it. He was immediately confused by the incomprehensible terminology that came to him, and quickly closed it carefully.

It doesn't look like something unnecessary.Maybe I forgot to take it away?

Thinking of this, Shintaro's mood suddenly became a little relaxed, and he quickly sent a text message to Kazuhiko, informing him that he had forgotten to take away important experience notes.

"This way, when senior comes back to get his notebook, it will be a matter of course for him to invite him to have dinner together." The young man smiled so hard that the corners of his eyes curled up, and he walked out of the dormitory humming a song.

[April 27, [-], [-]:[-] a.m., Air and Land Red/Zone, Guanghui Academy Training Ground]

"A-another transfer student?"

The students in sportswear stared at the homeroom teacher Uchida, with surprise written all over their faces.

Teacher Uchida, who has no dignity, has no choice but to maintain discipline and try to calm the students down.While everyone was whispering, Shintaro looked at Nana and found that the orange-haired girl also had a rare expression of surprise.

Hey, did Nana-san not hear anything at all?Shintaro was suddenly in a daze.

"Okay, okay, be quiet." Uchida cleared his throat and tried to raise his voice, "I just received the news this morning. In short, this classmate Yuji Fukaya will join our class in the future. Please Please take good care of your new classmates."

"So teacher, where is this new classmate?"

After hearing the student's question, Mr. Uchida showed a helpless look on his face that had begun to wrinkle, and pointed to the end of the field behind him——

The billowing smoke and dust.

The training ground of Guanghui Academy is very large, and students often come here to look for opponents and practice in their free time.However, these good scholars today may look a little miserable.

In the smoke and dust, a majestic gray dog ​​stood next to the figure, a pair of bright eyes flashing red, revealing its sharp fangs.

Under the horrified gaze of his opponent, a hand stroked the vicious dog's head.

The young trainer who had just achieved a crushing victory had a cold expression on his face, with a somewhat ferocious look on his brows.He has short dark gray hair, beast-like silver eyes, and his dark clothes are eye-catching and dazzling in the smoke.

His disgraced opponent forced a smile and ran away with his Pokémon incapacitated.

Sighing, Uchida raised his voice and called the Great Wolf Dog user who had just gained first blood - the new transfer student Fukaya Yuji over.

The students who were whispering to each other just now all fell silent.The gray-haired boy seemed to have a chill all over his body. Just walking to the class teacher step by step made the first graders nervous.

"This is our new classmate, Yuji Fukaya. Everyone should get along well..."

Amid Uchida's usual boring introduction, a boy named Yuji Fukaya walked into the team without saying a word.The wind brought by walking hit his face, making Shintaro shiver and tried to make his expression look calmer.

Ito-san is obviously very cute... He is also a transfer student, why is there such a big gap QAQ? !

Thus, the morning practical class began in an unusual silence.

Today's class is one-on-one, and the opponent matching is very much like Mr. Uchida's style - the students can find opponents according to their wishes.

"Hey, let's have a fight."

"Eh, eh?!" Sensing that this somewhat ferocious transfer student was talking to her, Sakurai Rumiko immediately trembled, pointed to herself carefully, and asked in a trembling voice, "Are you talking about me...?"

"Yes. Let's have a fight." Yuji repeated, with "I'm already very patient after saying the same sentence twice" written all over his face.

The timid girl suddenly felt cold all over, words of promise and rejection came to her mouth at the same time, and got stuck together in a mess.

"That!" The immature-sounding young man's voice interrupted suddenly.

Shintaro tried his best to keep his smile unchanged, "Uh... Fukaya-san, right? I, I just saw your battle, you are so awesome. Can I jump in and fight you first?"

Although the lines barely sounded like a "warlike and passionate boy", Shintaro's mood at this time and what he said were completely different.

Seeing that Sakurai-san seemed to be in a panic, I impulsively...

Shintaro didn't even know if he regretted it.

Yuji didn't even raise his eyelids, "Anyone can do it." After saying that, he walked to the opposite station with the big wolf dog.

Both sides took their positions and the referee waved the flag.

Shintaro pinched himself hard to keep himself calm - the "terrible-looking transfer student" alone wouldn't make him so shaken. The other half of the panic came from the constant shots coming from the entire training ground. of many eyes.

Big, everyone is paying attention here...

No wonder, after all, this is the first battle of a transfer student who looks like a villain in the early stage and turns into the main character’s rival and best friend in the later stage. It’s natural for him to attract attention...

So nervous.If I had known earlier, I would not have spoken impulsively QAQ!

After trying to regain his composure, Shintaro sent out his strongest partner Kami Turtle, forcing himself to turn his attention to the battle field in front of him.

No matter what, at least we must deal with the battle in front of us first.Hmm... Cammy Turtle is good at backhand counterattacks. This Fukaya-san seems to be an aggressive one, right?Then give up the initiative, avoid or resist the first round of attacks, and then look for flaws in the big wolf dog's attack movements...

"Big wolf dog, crush it."

Shintaro's thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a cold voice.The overly tense emotions caused his brain to temporarily freeze, and it was this pause of less than a second that caused him to lose all control of the battle.

The big wolfhound's attack was so fast that Shintaro couldn't imagine it.The light and shadow of the gray-black sharp teeth were deeply embedded in the body of the Cammy turtle in an instant, and the small aqua turtle fell to the ground helplessly.

One fatal blow and the battle is over.

The brown-haired boy froze.He felt his face suddenly burning up, but his hands and feet were cold and stiff, and he even forgot that he should quickly take back the turtle.

It wasn't until Yuji impatiently urged him that Shintaro hurriedly put the fallen turtle back into the poke ball, and left in embarrassment amidst countless low whispers.

"Next. You come."

"Eh? It's me again?"

Seeing Rumiko Sakurai walk up to the trainer's seat with a sad face, and looking at the eyes of the people around her, Shintaro knew that he had messed up this matter.

[April 27, 58, [-]:[-] a.m., Konglu Red/Zone, Guanghui Academy Training Ground]

The unprecedentedly long practical class is over.

The students gathered together in twos and threes and exchanged bitter glances in tacit understanding. Their expressions were filled with the words "Where did the teacher find such a vicious transfer student? He is simply torturing people."

One morning passed, and this incredible Fukaya student almost defeated the entire class.Many of the fellow sufferers who had been killed in two or three instants couldn't wait to complain.

"It's unbelievable that such a great transfer student is going to enroll, and I didn't get any news at all." Nana angrily wrote down something on her notepad - her indignation was different from everyone else's.

"Yes. According to the teacher's introduction, Fukaya-kun should be 13 years old? He is only one year older than me, but he is more than 01:30 stronger." Fusuke smiled and shrugged, "I am a defender. In his hands, he only lasted five moves."

Glancing at the brown-haired boy who seemed to be in a low mood, Fuusuke smiled and put his hand on Shintaro's shoulder, deliberately raising his voice, "Of course, this class president who fought for five rounds is much better than this classmate who was killed instantly. "

"Wha, what is it, Fuusuke!" Shintaro immediately blushed, "I, I, I just lost my mind for a moment, otherwise I would never..."

"Yes, don't say sophistry." Nana added unceremoniously, "Anyway, you are not the only one who was killed instantly."

"..."

Shintaro, who was only good at barrage in his head and was incompetent at bickering, had no choice but to become a thousand-needle fish in anger silently.

However, after being teased like this by his friends, Shintaro seemed to be in a lighter mood.Putting the cruel transfer student out of their minds for the time being, everyone finished lunch and took a short break before heading into the afternoon wilderness survival class.

[April 27, [-], [-]:[-] pm, Konglu Red/Area, Trial Forest]

The brown-haired boy stood at the edge of the forest and encouraged himself.

Shintaro thinks that he is better at fighting in the wild than in the ring - largely because fighting in the wild does not always have as many spectators as in the ring.Although he lost ugly in the morning, Shintaro didn't want to lose ugly all the time.He now desperately wants to become a top student.

It's not to show off to anyone, it's just that I vaguely feel that I can't continue to be so bad.He still has goals he wants to achieve and people he wants to catch up with, and if he continues to dawdle...

"Huh... OK!" After patting his face, Shintaro gathered his energy and followed the long team into the forest.

Today's wilderness survival lesson is about traveling through the northern part of the Trial Forest, where wild Pokémon are densest.More than 30 people in the entire class act together. In order for everyone to safely complete the goal without falling behind, they need to pay special attention to the cooperation and response between each other.

Due to the rugged terrain of the northern area of ​​the Trial Forest, often with steep cliffs and hillsides, Shintaro chose the Spearow, which is highly maneuverable and can fly freely, as his partner.

"Continue to move at high speed - OK, Yan Hui!"

The Spearow spun swiftly in the air, knocking away the two Sonic Bats blocking the way.

"Next, over there, support everyone with your shouts!"

Nana tiptoed over and poked Shintaro with her finger, "Oh, Shintaro-san, you worked hard today unexpectedly?"

"What's the accident? I've been working hard." Shintaro replied with a serious face, and immediately turned back to add another instruction, "Spear, be careful on the left..."

The girl with twin tails blinked and spread her hands helplessly.

Looking at Shintaro-san's appearance, he was clearly stimulated by the morning's defeat.Nana expressed that she did not understand the unwillingness among boys to admit defeat.

And... Shintaro-san always seems to be in a hurry lately.

Hope you don't go overboard.

Yuji walked at the front of the team, still unsmiling, commanding the giant wolfhound to clear the way almost rampantly, savagely repelling all the incoming wild Pokémon, and occasionally eliciting exclamations from the people behind him.Shintaro glanced at Yuji from time to time, and immediately warned himself not to be distracted again.

Therefore, when a scream came from behind, Shintaro turned his head half a beat slower.

Seeing the scene in front of him, the young man suddenly became anxious.

Nana Yoshikawa was in charge of the rear in this course and had been walking at the end of the line after talking to Shintaro.And when she was about to follow the team across the cliff and off the suspension bridge, a wind blade flew from nowhere and cut one of the ropes of the suspension bridge.

The simple suspension bridge suddenly crumbled, causing Nana to accidentally fall and was about to slide down.

"Nana-kun!"

Shintaro, who had been charging all the way, charged forward again almost without thinking.

While running, an angry "stop" suddenly sounded in the back of his head.Shintaro was stunned for a moment, and he stepped onto the suspension bridge before he could retract his steps.

The sound of the rope breaking echoed in the noisy but extremely quiet ears.

When the first rope broke, the other two ropes had actually been cut by the wind blade, but they barely managed to maintain their original shape.When the young man's light and heavy feet suddenly stepped forward, the overwhelmed rope finally broke.

When the feeling of weightlessness hit, Shintaro's mind almost went blank, and his eyes were filled with the frightened expression of Nana who was only a few steps ahead.

He realized that he had caused an absolutely unforgivable disaster.

The next second, gray wind blew against his face.Shintaro's eyes were dazzled when a brutal force came from his back collar, and then he was thrown to the ground on the edge of the cliff.

The young man who landed on the ground in the position of a dog chewing mud finally found his breath and suddenly got up. What he saw in front of him was the bloody mouth of the big wolf dog exhaling bloody wind.

"Wow!" Shintaro was so frightened that he leaned back and fell to the ground again.

He looked around blankly——

The suspension bridge has fallen under the cliff, but the orange-haired girl in distress is sitting on her knees not far away, looking a little frightened.

The crow leader who rescued Nana in time flapped his wings and landed on the shoulder of the person in front of him.Raising his head, the gray-haired boy's expression was so cold that it was almost contemptuous and shot into Shintaro's pupils.

"Just go to the corner and stay there, you trash, and don't come out to harm anyone."

The words were like a bomb that shook Shintaro's spiritual world upside down.He opened his eyes wide and saw the familiar classmates around him looking at him.

Under the sight, there is nowhere to hide.

The thin boy with brown hair suddenly started to tremble.At this moment, something quietly shattered.
