Dawn of Pokémon

After the Blue Dragon Fang's exhibition match, the crowd gathered at the Pokémon Center dispersed.After packing her luggage, Xiaoye went to the front desk to check out.

The King-level battle is indeed exciting, but for Xiaoye now, down-to-earth travel is more important.

Leaving this gray ancient city, the next stop is Cerulean City, where the water system gym is located.The distance between the two cities is not very close, and we have to cross Mount Yuetami on the way, which will probably take a lot of time.

The start of the next Quartz League has been set for June 6st, which is still nearly half a year away from January 21th.Therefore, Xiao Ye was not in a hurry. After purchasing some mountain climbing supplies, she set off to prepare for a period of training at Mount Yuetimi.

Mount Tsukimi [Japanese: おつきみやま, Otsukimi_Yama, English: Mt. Moon] is located in the northern part of the Kanto region. It is famous for the presence of wild skins and frequent meteor falls.It is said that meteorites that fall on Mt. Wolmi turn into moon stones when illuminated by the moonlight.In addition, some ancient Pokémon fossils can also be excavated in the mountains, which has attracted many archeology enthusiasts to dig and explore.

This mountain range is undulating and the terrain is steep, making it difficult to climb directly. A while ago, the news reported that a trainer on Mount Yuemi had a fall accident while climbing with bare hands.Therefore, most trainers will choose to go through the cave - although the cave is complicated and easy to get lost, at least there will be no danger to life.

There is a small depression at the highest point of Mount Tsukimi, called "Moon Square [Japanese: Otsukimi_Yama_Hiroba, English: Mt. Moon_Square]", which is said to have been formed by the impact of a meteorite.Some trainers once witnessed that on the night of the full moon, many Pipi danced mysteriously around the huge moon stone in Yuejianshan Square. This scene once attracted the attention of trainers from all walks of life.However, the mountain roads on Mount Tsukimi are complicated and confusing. It is not easy to find the Plaza on Mount Tsukimi. There are also only a few trainers who can witness the dance of Pipi.

After half a day's driving, Xiao Ye has arrived at the foot of Yuejian Mountain.Since it was getting late, Xiaoye did not plan to continue going up the mountain, so she pitched a tent at the foot of the mountain and decided to sleep outdoors for the night.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, Xiaoye set up a simple stove and started making dinner.The three Pokémon were running around and playing nearby.

There happened to be a medium-sized river next to the campsite chosen by Xiaoye. Gyarados, who had not been in the water for a long time, immediately jumped into the river happily, scaring away a large group of Magikarp and Horned Goldfish.

However, this big beast is obviously not a guy who can stay safely in the water.Less than 10 minutes after enjoying the cool river water, Gyarados couldn't help but call Bobo over, who was resting with his eyes closed, and continued the previous sparring session.

"Bo..." The little golden bird who was forced to fight had a look of helplessness on his face.

This fighting madman.

Complaints are complaints, but Bobo still didn't refuse Gyarados' invitation to fight.Although the calm-tempered Bobo is not as warlike as Gyarados, he has no less desire to become stronger.

To become stronger, to become a being that the tribe and father can be proud of.

Don't want to lose to anyone!

"..."

Looking at the battlefield with water cannons flying not far away, Xiaoye suddenly felt that her stove was a bit dangerous.

Hope you don't get knocked over.

On the other side, the Charmander was following a pangolin burrowing into the hole, digging up the nearby land into a mess.

While training in Viridian Forest, Charmander was trying to learn the trick of digging holes, but unfortunately he didn't fully learn it before challenging Nibi Gym.There are many rock-type and ground-type Pokémon at the foot of Yuejian Mountain. While following them playing in the cave, I also observed the movements of these burrowing masters at close range.Now Charmander's burrowing moves have basically taken shape. Although the speed of traveling underground is still very slow, the most basic hiding can be accomplished.

If he had learned this move one day earlier, he probably wouldn't have been so embarrassed in the sandstorm of the one-horned rhinoceros.

"Whew?" The pangolin tilted its head in confusion and looked at the little fire dragon digging a hole.

This orange guy...is he also one of his own kind?

"Woooooooooo!" A nail accidentally hit a hard rock in the ground, and Charmander suddenly raised his red and swollen claws and howled.

...No, definitely not.

The pangolin shook his head vigorously.

Although digging holes in ordinary land is no longer a problem, digging through rocks seems to be a bit difficult.Maybe try using metal claws to assist with digging?

After playing around until the sun went down, the three Pokémon, who had filled their bellies, fell asleep one after another.In the distance, Xiaoye wielded a crystal blue long sword and performed routine exercises. After slashing through the air, she turned to look at her three partners who were sleeping soundly.

Have a good rest.A new round of training will begin tomorrow.

Under night, the towering peaks have fallen into a deep sleep.A black shadow flashed silently from the foot of the mountain.

"Tsukimiyama Square...is this the direction?"

The shadow murmured and dived into the dark cave.

The next day - in the early morning of January 1th, Xiaoye started hiking with three Pokémon.

Although it was much easier to cross Mount Tsukimi from the cave, Xiaoye still chose the relatively dangerous way of climbing.The reason is simple - a big guy like Gyarados cannot train or fight if he enters a narrow cave.

If you're not careful, the cave might collapse.

Although the terrain of Yuejian Mountain is steep, Xiaoye's skills are agile enough. She has climbed the towering Qingyun Mountain more than once in her previous life, so as long as she is careful, there will be no problem.

Climbing among the rocks and rocks, the training of the Pokémon will not be relaxed.This time, all three Pokémon have changed their training content.

Gyarados and Bobo still trained as a team, but this time the offensive and defensive sides switched positions.

Bobo used lightning flash to sprint towards Gyarados, and the big water dragon on the opposite side quickly shook his head and swung his body to avoid it.Unfortunately, Gyarados, which had always only been able to run rampant, was really not good at dodging. His movements were two beats too slow, and he was poked by Bobo's sharp mouth.

It's not that the big water dragon is really slow, it has always been very aggressive when attacking. The main reason for the difficulty in dodging is that it has never had the awareness in this regard and its positioning skills are seriously lacking.But that’s okay—it’s not too late to start practicing now.

Bobo launched attacks again and again, and the sound of its shiny white wings and scales clashing was like ringing a bell, even breaking the rhythm.

It can be seen how tragic the situation of Gyarados, who has just started dodge training, is.

Fortunately, Bobo's attack power is not very strong, and Gyarados' scales are hard and thick, making it more durable and will not be beaten down easily.Bobo felt that the fight was extremely enjoyable. He threw out moves such as lightning flash, wing attack or steel wings, and he could hit the target almost every time.

Moreover, Xiaoye also specifically emphasized that there was no need to lower her strength.

Bobo was very enthusiastic as he exerted his physical strength to the fullest. Even if he was not very warlike, he found this form of training very satisfying.

The beaten Gyarados (black face): I'm not happy.

Onlookers Xiao Ye (smiling): You will hide only if you know it hurts.

Of course, Bobo is not just a sparring partner.Continuous all-out attacks consume a lot of physical energy, and for Bobo whose durability is short, this is also a harsh test.

Whether before or now, Gyarados and Bobo, a pair with complementary abilities, can exactly assist each other in collaborative training. This is probably how the revolutionary friendship was developed.
