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.

Just a few days ago, the first—and perhaps most unforgettable—league tournament in my life ended.Although I failed to last on the field to the end, my teammates and I prevented a big crisis together.

To be honest... I never thought that such a "brave" performance would happen to me.Rather, since I landed on that land in the sky, my life has surpassed my barren imagination.

Well, if it were me half a year ago, I might feel very uneasy and scared, right?

——But, now I am not afraid at all.

[July 31, [-], [-]:[-] a.m., Air and Land White/District, Guanghui Association Office Building]

——No, I take back what I said before, I’m still scared QAQ!

"The above is the report of this mission..."

Shintaro put an end to this unseemly report with a stuttering sentence.I don't know if one of the companions beside him burst into laughter out of nothing, which made the young man want to dive into the cracks in the ground.

After the mission of "stopping the bomb demon" was over, the group did not return to Konglu immediately. Instead, they stayed in Mihara City for a few days and returned belatedly a week later - of course, they dared to be so wanton. Wangwei also obtained permission for vacation in advance.It wasn't until he entered the headquarters building that Fousuke told Shintaro, "You are the one responsible for reporting tasks" as if he had woken up from a dream.

——Considering that the only participants in the early stage of the mission were Shintaro and Yuji, and the latter was a guy who didn’t like to talk much and disappeared without even participating in the capital tour, so only Shintaro could conduct the work report.But even though Fuusuke's reasons were clear and logical, Shintaro still just wanted to roar in the monitor's face, "Can't you tell me earlier so that I have time to write a manuscript to avoid embarrassing myself in front of Mr. Byakuya QAQ".

The result of standing in front of a legendary figure to give a report without preparation can be imagined. Shintaro's narrative was so confusing that he didn't even know what he was talking about.The legendary figure, on the other hand, was not angry at all and listened to the young man's chaotic report with a very patient smile.

"Well, I generally understand." The man in a white kimono clapped his hands and said with a bright smile, "When I first gave this task to you, I was a little worried that it would be too much for you - —Now it seems that my ability to recognize people is still so good, you guys did a great job!"

"...Uh, thank you...for the compliment?" The brown-haired boy was a little stunned by Mr. Xingyu Baiye's complimentary and self-praising speech.

"Cough." The middle-aged man sitting on the sofa at the other end of the room, flipping through documents—according to intelligence expert Nana, he should be the manager of the Youth Group of the Shining Society—made a dry cough.

I don't know if it was Shintaro's misunderstanding, but the white-haired man suddenly put away his casual posture and put on a friendly yet calm smile, "I didn't call you here today because I want you to report something rigorously - those I’ll ask you to hand in the electronic version of the documents in a few days. I just want to hear your thoughts on our first collaboration.”

"How does it feel to fight side by side?"

"Awesome!" the orange-haired girl responded enthusiastically, "If I was thrown in front of such a fierce enemy alone, I would be absolutely scared to death, but I feel particularly safe when I am with everyone! Shintaro was so moved that he cried It’s—”

"I-I didn't cry!"

"Actually, we didn't do much, we just helped in the end." Squad leader Fuusuke's speech was much more steady than the temperamental Nana, "The biggest contributors are Shintaro and Yuji who found clues to the enemy."

"But it's all thanks to you that I came back safely." Shintaro retorted seriously, "At that time, I really thought I was going to be buried among the spiders - Chinatsu-chan too, thank you for your 'technical' support!"

The high-power bomb maker and the strongest DPS in the game——the introverted girl with green eyes blushed and shook her head.

Bai Ye, who was left alone, wasn't angry either. He just looked at the children with a smile and chatted with each other.It wasn't until Feng Jie, the most reliable person, came to his senses and signaled with his eyes that everyone should not think of this place as a coffee shop next to the school that the four young people all stopped talking.

"Don't look at me like that - do you think I'm an old-fashioned old man who will get angry just because you guys chatted for a few more words?" Being stared at by four nervous eyes, the leader of Quan Konglu suddenly laughed.

"It seems that you have gained a lot. But I still want to commend you - you have completed this mission very well."

The man said, raising his eyebrows and showing a somewhat complacent smile, as if he regarded the child in front of him as his own descendant.

"Since the establishment of Guanghui Academy until now, there are very few people who can complete the red team's tasks in the first grade. Now the whole school knows about your 'feat', right?"

Until he walked out of the office building of the Kouki Association, Shintaro was still dizzy as if he was in a dream. He even felt that he had lived a life worthy of being praised so sincerely by the former chief investigator.

After returning to their long-lost school, the four young people realized that Bai Ye's words, "The whole school knows about your feats" were not empty words.

[July [-], [-], [-]:[-] am, Konglu Red/District, Guanghui College teaching building]

It is the custom of Guanghui Academy to release mission videos, not to mention it is a rare first-year mission to clear the Red Team.The "mighty figure" of Shintaro and his team soon became known to the whole school. As soon as they entered the school, they were greeted warmly by many people.

Nana and Fousuke, who are willing to socialize, quickly became mingled with classmates they knew or didn't know. Even Chinatsu, who was not good at talking, was surrounded by several girls, answering questions in a soft voice.As for Shintaro - he felt that his aspect might be inherently attractive to children, but he was actually entangled by a nine-year-old elementary school student.

"I also want to go to school here next year, so I came to visit during the summer vacation." The little boy looked at Shintaro eagerly, "I have heard about the deeds of my seniors and watched the videos. It's really cool! You can play against me. One game?"

Shintaro has never been able to refuse the request of a child who might become a direct disciple.The two happily ran into the training ground together. When he took out his strongest Pokémon at the little boy's request, Shintaro still regretted not learning the guidance battle style from Kazuhiko-senpai.

When Shintaro was still in elementary school, his grades in Pokémon battle class were not good, and he was often knocked over by junior students in the lower grades.But he didn't seem to worry at all that the same thing would happen again. He calmly directed the Water Arrow Turtle into the battle, and even deliberately slowed down the offensive.

After ten minutes, this gentle battle ended.The little boy who lost didn't look depressed. He hugged Miaomiao who had lost his fighting power and vowed, "I will continue to work hard to achieve the goal of being a senior."

After waving away the energetic child, Shintaro felt a little dazed for a moment.

Senior...

It turns out that I can also be called a senior.

[July 27, [-], [-]:[-] noon, Konglu Red/District, Fountain Square]

After finally escaping from the enthusiastic clutches of his classmates, Shintaro felt hungry.Going to the cafeteria would definitely lead to the same outcome. After thinking about it, he had no choice but to go to the convenience store and buy a hamburger, then sit on a bench next to the fountain and eat it.

Speaking of which...did I often have lunch here alone a long time ago?

Hmm, I can’t remember clearly.After all, ever since I met Nana-san and the others, lunch breaks have never been quiet.

"Shintaro——"

"Wow!?"

Shintaro, who was distracted while eating, was almost startled by the sudden sound in his ears.

"Ahem...what, it's little Divi, I'm shocked." The brown-haired boy complained, "It was the same last time, you walked without making any sound."

"Because I flew here." The little boy dressed as a magician replied seriously, "Long time no see, Shintaro. Can I have a taste of this?"

"Eh..." Shintaro was hit by a strong sense of déjà vu, "Are you interested in my lunch again?"

"Um...Brother Shintaro, can I try this?"

The boy suddenly started coughing again.He finally remembered that he had indeed said to Divi a long time ago, "If you want to eat this, call me brother." But when he thought that this child was a real manager of the Purple Group, not a severe patient with chuunibyou... Shintaro felt that it was past. I was literally dancing on the edge of a knife.

"Of course you can, Mr. Diwei, please use it!"

The boy with purple hair and golden eyes didn't mind that he had already taken a few bites of the burger. While eating, he said vaguely, "You don't need to call me sir... just call me... chew... name... chew... just... Can……"

"Ok, no problem!"

Shintaro had no resistance to the demands of young children, and immediately forgot the monitor's warning to "respect the managers" - regardless of status, children are still children, why not pamper them? OK.

After finally swallowing the last bite of the burger, Divi narrowed his eyes with satisfaction and tilted his head to look at the person who contributed lunch for the second time, "Shintaro, you look happier than last time."

The young man was stunned.

A flood of memories was awakened by the soft voice of a child.He remembered the past not long ago, but also a long time ago - when he first arrived, he didn't even know where he was, and he didn't quite understand what the teachers were talking about.He was frightened and had no friends. He just wanted to hide in a quiet place and eat his lunch quietly.The afternoon when he played with the purple-haired child was a rare happy moment for him.

"...I didn't expect that I would become what I am now." Shintaro gently bent his eyes and supported the boy's crooked peaked hat. "This is all thanks to you."

"Us?" Divi repeated doubtfully - and then her eyes widened in surprise at the sudden chill.

"Hypnosis!" The young man looked at the boy who was covered in water with a smile, "One to zero, I will win the first round!"

"Wow, you're so cunning, you actually attacked me secretly!" Not to be outdone, the child threw himself into the fountain.

"Look at my shadow ball—"

"Can you defeat my mental strength?"

"..."

It was not the first time for the brown-haired boy to splash water on each other with a seven-year-old child in the fountain square of this weird school, shouting strange names of moves.One of them will always remain the same, while the other has completely changed. Only the picture they created together is still as pure and happy as it was half a year ago.

"Phew - I lost -" Shintaro, exhausted, lay facelessly on the grass.

"It turns out that Shintaro has remembered my last teaching. Yes, Shintaro is a good boy."

"Pfft - that's right, 'You should do this after playing'. I will always remember your teaching that day."

The two wet people looked at the sky and were silent for a moment.

"Speaking of which, I haven't seen Kenichi for a long time." The boy turned his head, not realizing that a blade of grass was stuck to his face. "When will he come?"

"Huh!?" Shintaro was startled, and the words he misheard during the last self-hypnosis echoed in his mind again, "Kenichi... you, do you mean my father Yusa Kenichi?"

"Yes." Divi blinked, as if he didn't understand why Shintaro was so surprised, "Isn't Shintaro Kenichi's child?"

"Yes, that's right...but why do you know..."

"Because Kenichi and I are friends." The toddler answered matter-of-factly.

"..."

"Kenichi said that if he has children in the future, he will let his children play with me. He keeps his word, and I am very happy."

"..."

"Shintaro? Brother Shintaro?"

"..."

"..."

"...!?"

Shintaro, who received the big news, didn't dare to dig deeper in the end - he always felt that if he continued to ask, some of the good memories in his heart might be shattered into pieces.

After sending Divi away and agreeing to call him next time Kenichi comes again, Shintaro rolled five times on the grass before he regained his composure.

After returning to the dormitory, the mysterious object that appeared on the table stopped him from worrying about "how old is little Divi" - he picked up the unsigned letter, showing a slightly confused look.

"Is this...a challenge?"

[July [-], [-], [-]:[-] in the evening, Konglu Red/Area, Trial Forest]

Although he was confused about the inexplicable appointment in the letter, Shintaro went to the appointment on time.

The battle location agreed upon in the letter was the cliff area on the edge of the Trial Forest, where the setting sun could be seen dyeing the sky red.After arriving at the cliff, Shintaro unexpectedly met acquaintances he had just separated from recently.

The four people looked at each other in confusion, looking at the letters in each other's hands with expressions of understanding on their faces.

"You were also invited out by Wu Mingxin?"

"Yeah...who sent it?"

They chatted as they approached each other, looking clearly defenseless.But the next second, when the lightning flew from the dark and stabbed Shintaro, everyone subconsciously made the correct reaction.

Fuusuke's big-mouthed boy took the lead and blocked the way, using his steel-like solid body to resolve the current.The Pokémon of the other three quickly formed a formation behind the defenders - this was the result of their long training. They had been fully tempered in the battle against the Alidos group, and had almost become Do instinct.

Leib leaping through the forest was very powerful, his dazzling thunder was like a battle axe, and every blow carried the power of a natural phenomenon.However, the advantage in numbers and the tacit cooperation gained from training prevented the four fledgling trainers from being defeated and fought steadily with Reib.

After a moment, the operator of the thunder and lightning suddenly stopped attacking.

The four people who almost ducked looked at each other. Just as they were thinking about continuing the pursuit or taking the opportunity to run away, three figures walked out of the darkness of the forest.

"How about it, are you satisfied now? We weren't so good when we were in first grade."

"Humph."

"You mean satisfied?"

Leib calmed down his fierce look and walked obediently to the feet of one of them.The familiar red-haired one in the middle smiled and waved, "Hey, long time no see."

"Long time no see... What the hell, Kazuhiko-senpai, what's going on?" Shintaro asked with tears in his eyes - he really felt that he would not escape today.

"Well, it's a long story... Let's formally introduce ourselves first." The red-haired boy stood up straight and seriously, "As you know, I am Kazuhiko Takeuchi, a member of the Orange Team of the Kokai Association."

"I am Hitoko Inoue, and I am also a member of the Orange Team." The black-haired girl wearing glasses said calmly.

The last person had a dark purple hedgehog head and said impatiently, "Kamijo Naruya."

As soon as these words came out, the four young people suddenly fell into silence - Kamijou Naruya, wasn't he the one who was said to have a bad relationship with Kazuhiko-senpai, had a bad temper, and even beat Kazuhiko-senpai together when he was angry, and even won the fight?

The children who had been exposed to the relevant gossip by Nanai were immersed in fear.

"Ahem, I'm really sorry for calling you out suddenly today and attacking you without saying hello." Kazuhiko cleared his throat, "However, after this small 'test', the three of us unanimously recognized your strength and team spirit. .”

"...?" Shintaro blinked in confusion, suddenly having an unbelievable guess in his mind.

"As for us - you all saw Tongzi and I's graduation test live, and A Ming also showed his strength just now. We can be considered to have a preliminary understanding of each other in terms of battle."

"What I want to say is -" the red-haired boy looked solemn, and only his unconsciously clenched fists revealed his nervousness, "Do you want to form a team with us?"

"..."

"..."

"...Uh, why don't you say anything?" Nervousness crawled from his fists down his arms to the red-haired senior's face.

"Of course it's because I'm so surprised!" Nana, who was the first to recover, waved Porygon's Poké Ball, "To suddenly call us here and then suddenly send out such an invitation, the amount of information is too large and the CPU can't handle it. !”

Seeing the panic of "Did I mess up" appeared on Kazuhiko's face, Fusuke suddenly laughed, "We are all very happy - we didn't expect the seniors to recognize our strength like this."

After a pause, he asked calmly, "But is it really okay to choose us? The seniors are already official members of the Orange Team, and we are still just students. I'm afraid we won't be able to keep up with the seniors in a short time."

"Don't worry, we don't have any immediate intention of wanting you to carry out the mission together." The only female in the senior trio said gently, "You just need to continue to complete your studies."

As she said that, she looked at the red-haired man on her right, "Actually, we should have waited until you were about to graduate before sending out the application—"

"But I'm afraid that you will be snatched away by others!" Kazuhiko frankly stated his true purpose, "Now that the whole school has seen your abilities, if the people I am optimistic about are intercepted and transferred to other teams first, I don’t have anywhere to cry…”

Perhaps the always reliable senior's worried expression was too funny, so Nana burst out laughing.

The boy named Kamijou Naruya frowned, as if he was tired of the conversation going nowhere, "So, what's the answer?"

The social duo looked at each other and gave the answer in unison.

"Of course I am willing!"

"I am happy to accept the invitation from my seniors."

Seeing that the yellow-haired girl seemed a little afraid of Naruya, Hitomi repeated the question carefully and softly.Chinatsu looked up at her smiling companion and the soft-looking female senior opposite her, and nodded vigorously.

"Then the last one... Hey, Xiaozhen, are you crying?"

"No." The brown-haired boy buried his head and sniffed, "I'm just... so happy."

He raised his face and looked directly at the senior he admired without hesitation, "Of course - I can't ask for it!"

The moment the words fell, the fiery red sun disk met the horizon, dyeing the entire sky red with warm light.

Sunsets in Konglu always have a different style.The appearance of the earth is covered by clouds. Looking around, the world in the sky seems to be wrapped in countless warm cotton wool, as red as a sea of ​​​​fire.Then, the dazzling colors gradually faded away, replaced by the bright moon and stars.

The world gradually fell silent.Shintaro heard that the chirping of insects in the jungle behind him was becoming fainter; there were birds flapping their wings and flying over their heads, on their way home.

Life begins to sleep - for the next new dawn.

The people on the edge of the cliff have already turned around and gazed at this breathtaking scenery.

"Ha, I chose the time really well." Heyan smiled and took a step forward, opening his arms as if he was about to plunge into the fiery sunset, "Let today's sunset witness our vows."

Nana, whose instinct as a reporter has been written into her bones, has already taken dozens of photos.While thinking about the composition of the group photo, she asked, "Senior Kazuhiko, you haven't told us the name of the team yet. Do you need me to provide you with some strategy posts?"

"I've already thought about it."

The red-haired boy turned back.The setting sun projected colors into his pupils, and the corners of his eyes were filled with flying smiles.

"The name of our team is, of course -"
