Dawn of Pokémon

In the 1000th year of the Elven Calendar, October 7th.

"thanks for treatment--"

In the early morning, after having their last breakfast at the Pokémon Center in the contestant village, Xiaoye and his group walked out in darkness - of course, not because of the crowd, but because the color and thickness of the windbreaker were too unique in this midsummer.

"I feel like I'm used to taking all my free time every day to check information and train, and I feel a little uncomfortable when I suddenly have no time." The blond girl said as she skipped to the front.

"Yeah, I feel empty inside."

Just as Xiaojie answered casually, he saw his sister stop with a complex look on her face.

"With all due respect, brother, you 'don't need' pre-match training a few days ago, why are you still trying..."

Xiaojie: "..."

Seeing Xiaojie's complexion turn from red to green and then to black, he was afraid that he would shout "You can't let me walk out of the contestant village happily, you bastard sister" in the next second, Xiaoye quickly added with a dry smile, "No, That’s right, seeing that half of the people in the Pokémon Center suddenly disappeared, I felt like the competition was over.”

Xiaoling seemed to be easily diverted. She no longer criticized her brother directly, and winked at Xiaoye with a smile, "Yeah, Xiaoye, this sentence is very convincing for you - after all, you and Xiaoye The errand boy is different, he fights until the last day."

Night:"……"

Xiaojie: "...You can't let me walk out of the contestant village happily, you bastard sister!!"

The purple-haired girl covered her face with one hand, feeling that she couldn't be saved.

There was a slight tap on the shoulder.Xiaoye raised her head and saw the silver-haired boy with an indifferent expression, "Thank you for your hard work. We should believe that their relationship will not break up because of this."

"I misjudged you! I don't have a sister like you!"

"It's too much - a 'sister like me' doesn't mind that my brother can't make it to the quarterfinals -"

Night:"……"

Xiaotian: "...We...should believe..." (Hard)

Xinghai: "Hahaha." (tea)

"Okay, let's talk about business." After a lot of confusion, Xiaojie finally regained his sense, "What are you going to do next? Do you have any schedule?"

"Probably continue traveling." Xiaoye replied, "As for the location..."

"Would you like to go to Baiyin Mountain with us?" Before Xiaoye could finish her words, the blond girl extended an invitation enthusiastically, "We just want to go back home!"

"Uh... speaking of this, where is Grandpa Yuan Zheng?" Xiao Ye looked around and slowly realized the problem - the smiling old man was still there at breakfast time.

"Grandpa, he really hates riding in cars, so he rode Hu Di back to the city to wait for us." Xiaoling answered casually.

Riding... riding Hu Di?

Xiaoye exchanged equally shocked looks with the silver-haired boy next to her, confirming that it was not her head that had a problem - it was definitely the two calm-looking blondes across from her who were thinking abnormally.

It took the purple-haired girl a long time to regain her normal language skills. She was about to stumble to answer Xiaoling's question when a voice from not far away interrupted her.

"Sorry to bother you." A young woman in police uniform walked over quickly and locked her sights on one of the "dark people". "You are a Beidou player, right?"

"Yes, Miss Junsha."

"Regarding the violent attack that occurred in the market on the evening of the 28th, we need you to provide some more detailed information - I should have greeted you before." The female police officer said succinctly, "Now that the game is over, do you have time? Will you cooperate with the inquiry?"

"some."

"Thank you for your cooperation, please follow me."

"Yes, you're welcome...you're welcome..." Xiaoye nodded halfway before she realized something.

When she turned around, three green eyes stared at her with evil intentions, making the girl feel like she was being skewered into a kebab.

"..."

"...That, I can explain..."

Following Miss Junsha back to the familiar police room, during the questioning process, Xiaoye learned that the police had already guessed the identity of the attacker.

After comparing multiple pieces of information, they believed that the attacker was likely to be a foreign mercenary with a criminal record in the alliance.There are not many surveillance videos preserved in the market. If you want to understand his identity in more detail, the testimony of the person involved is very important.

The Public Security Bureau has already investigated more insider information based on existing clues, but this information cannot be disclosed to young contestants at will.Even the identity of the perpetrator is speculated to be told for the purpose of protecting the victim.

"——So, if you meet this person again in the future, or see someone who looks like him, you must prioritize your own safety, try to avoid head-on fights, and call the police immediately. Do you understand?" Before leaving , the policewoman warned again.

"Understood." Xiaoye nodded.

The follow-up inquiry into the incident took about two or three hours. When Xiaoye walked out of the police room, the midsummer sun was almost rising overhead.

——However, no matter how strong the sunlight is, it is not as strong as the eyes focused on her at this moment.

"Miss Junsha has already told us the specific situation." Xinghai smiled and tried to smooth things over for the children - and the next sentence was smoother again, "However, I think everyone would rather hear it from your own words. On the day of the incident, .”

"Feel sorry."

Xiaoye walked back into the darkness, "I just think it's disgraceful to talk about this kind of thing during the game..."

"Your concealment and failure to repay our friendship is also very disgraceful." The golden-haired girl said darkly.

"...I'm sorry! I bought you a cake as an apology!"

Fortunately, the attack that day did not lead to any irreparable consequences. Bailan and Yangzhen were also involved, and Xiaoye was not the only one who was involved in the accidental beating.She tried her best on the way from the police station to the exit of the contestant village, and finally succeeded in changing the subject.

"——We were talking about our future itinerary before, right? Have you decided everything?" Xinghai, the only adult, started talking.

"Xiaoling and I plan to go home with grandpa and practice hard in Baiyin Mountain." Xiaojie said, his expression became serious, "After this competition, we all know that we still have many shortcomings. . I want to register a real team with you, instead of just playing around with each other verbally like this. It’s not okay to always be so half-baked.”

The registration method of a professional team is very similar to the registration method of a five-man team in the executive department, but it is more flexible than a five-man team limited to a single department and can be combined across departments.If you want to legally fight crime and rescue people as a team, registration is an essential step.

And even if we exclude for the time being the layers of assessments required to register a professional team, the minimum requirement - "all team members must obtain professional trainer qualification certificates" - is an unreachable task for the current Xiaoye four. .

"So we have to work harder. It would be terrible if we don't even get into the Trainer Training Academy." Xiaojie said with a grin, as if he had already seen that he had no way to get into school and could only be an errand boy. The same miserable future.

"What about you, Xiaoye?"

Hearing Xiaoling's question, Xiaoye replied, "I plan to go to the Orange Islands and continue to practice on the journey."

"Orange Islands?" Xiaoling was stunned, "I remember there seems to be no league competition there, right?"

Xinghai smiled and answered, "That's true. However, in the Orange Islands, you can experience a completely different scenery from the highly developed cities of Kanto. It is a very suitable place for trainers to visit."

"My father and I's next stop is Tucheng Island in the north of the Orange Islands." Xiaotian added calmly.

The two golden retrievers looked at each other after hearing this, both looking thoughtful, wondering what they were thinking.

"——It's rare that we have the same goal. Xiaoye, do you want to go with us?"

Facing Xinghai's invitation, Xiaoye nodded and agreed without thinking too much.

She knew that one of the beauties of a Trainer's travels was briefly traveling with a traveling companion.Besides, she still had something to give to the silver-haired young man—this was something she decided before the league game started.

Returning to the city together, the four of them were finally able to take off their stuffy windbreakers and change back into their original cool attire.Then——we parted ways at the station.

Watching Xiaojie and Xiaoling get on the train to Silver Mountain, the remaining three people did not rush to set off, but temporarily settled down at the Pokémon Center in the city to deal with a series of trivial matters.

The purple-haired girl held her bank card and ran all the way to the store. She almost cried with joy when she looked at the six-digit number displayed on the cash machine.

The prize money for the top four of this Quartz League is 12 Elf Coins. Even after tax, it is an unprecedented amount for Xiaoye.

She immediately paid the last installment to the White Crow Underground Dueling Ground, and returned to a debt-free state in a sense of happiness.

"Master, won't we have nothing to eat this time?" the electric mouse on the shoulder asked seriously.

"No more." After a pause, Xiao Ye added forcefully, "Maybe never."

"..."

"...Why do you look like this?"

The little Pichu frowned, "Master, you said that before, Pichu..."

Xiaoye suddenly fell silent as she recalled how happy she was with her salary after finishing her part-time job in Rainbow City.

——And after today’s purchase, I wholeheartedly agreed with Pichu’s point of view.

"Forever" is always a bad joke when you say "forever" the moment you get the money.

After deciding on the next stop of the trip, the items that need to be spent money also come one after another.

First of all, the flying riding device - they will ride Pokémon directly to the Orange Island during this trip. Xiaotian and his son will not treat traffic rules as nothing like Xiaojie. They will only push the offenders to the ground and beat them. A meal.

Secondly, smartphones - in fact, travelers should prepare mobile phones before departure, but Xiaoye is really short of money and has put off buying this necessary hardware until now.

Xiaoye didn't have many acquaintances at the beginning of her trip, so she had no need to contact others.But now that I have three companions who have gone through thick and thin together, it would be a bit unreasonable not to give out my mobile phone number.

In addition, the food and medicine for Pokémon have long been exhausted, and the food supply during the league competition completely relies on the Pokémon Center.Now that Xiaoye has left the player village and is about to start traveling further away from the city, a large amount of food and medicine reserves are necessary.

Finally, there is the important "gift" that Xiaoye has thought about for a long time and finally decided on -

Two o'clock in the afternoon, Miyuan City.

"Are you ready?" The silver-haired young man in a black cycling suit smiled and turned his head to look at his fellow travelers in similar attire.

Undoubtedly, he got two affirmative answers.

The midsummer sun is blazing, but the breeze is very pleasant.When the skin touches the wind lightly, the sound of flying leaves and waves sounds in your ears.I believe that when they fly high into the sky on the wind, the cool air will take away all the heat and irritability, and convey the best feelings to the travelers walking side by side.

"Then let's go."

"Target - Orange Islands."
