Dawn of Pokémon

Kuchiba City [Japanese: クチバシティ, Kuchiba_City, English: Vermilion_City] is a famous military port city.

The word "military port" often gives people a feeling of being old-fashioned and depressing, but this is not the case in Kuye City.Fashion, technology, and full of multicultural exchanges are the urban impression of Kuye City.

The word "dead leaf" means the color of dead leaves, which refers to the color of decaying autumn leaves that wither in autumn.This statement may not sound good, but in fact it is a very clear color - orange with a hint of red.

This city was built as a dedicated port for the Alliance Navy around 200 in the Elven Calendar more than 740 years ago.Its geographical location, adjacent to the Kawan Strait to the north, is indeed an ideal location for a military port.

At that time, the light orange-red color of fallen leaves was the most popular and elegant color in the country.At that time, there were many fashionable people in the navy who were following the trend, so they did not use the clichéd navy blue as the urban keynote color, but chose the popular "dead leaf color".

Although today's Kuye City is still marked by the harbor, it is quite different from what it was when it was first built.The reason is——

In the ninth century of the Elf Calendar, a war broke out that nearly affected the whole world. The main warring parties were the Pokémon Alliance, the most powerful country at the time, and the "Guardian Alliance", an alliance political system composed of many countries.When the Pokémon League was at a disadvantage, Dryleaf City was forcibly occupied by foreign countries, and a large number of foreign warships and soldiers poured into the city.

Of course, it didn't take long for the Pokémon Alliance to regain its sovereignty in Deadleaf City in various ways; the troops who occupied Deadleaf City left, and the Guardian Alliance was disbanded, and now it has almost become a part of the Pokémon Alliance. .However, Kuye City has spent decades under the rule of foreigners. Many foreigners have stayed here and left their traces in every corner of the city.

Today's Kuye City has become a bridge connecting overseas cultures.There are many shops for foreigners in the city, and there are many buildings with obvious exotic styles. The fresh breath from foreign countries fills every corner of the city.

"How do you feel, Boy! Do you feel like you're falling in love with this COOOOOOOL city a little bit?" The blond middle-aged man wearing friendly store work clothes chattered enthusiastically, placing large and small jars on the counter, "Done Yes! This is the Pokemon_foods you want!"

"Thank you for the introduction." Xiao Ye nodded and put food cans of different types into her backpack.

This friendly store clerk is quite a talkative guy.After hearing that Xiaoye was a traveling trainer, he had already briefly described the history of the city in just a few minutes while rummaging through the goods.

Xiaoye's knowledge of the history of this world was very poor, but she was happy to listen to this middle-aged clerk speaking with a strange foreign accent.

However, this clerk is actually a native of Aoi City in the Kanto area. He seems to be imitating a foreigner's accent just because this way of speaking is very "COOOOOOOL".

This language in its previous life was called "English" and in this world is called "Hispanic", which was once the common language of the continent across the sea where the Unova region is located.Nowadays, residents of Unova have long been accustomed to using the official language of the Pokémon League, and among other small countries, Spanish is the most widely used common language.

Simple basic use of Spanish is a required course in compulsory education, and Xiaoye learned relevant knowledge when she was in Zhenxin Town.Fortunately, Xiaoye didn't skip classes casually - otherwise, with her basically zero English level in her previous life, she might not be able to communicate normally with this clerk.

"Glad_I_could_help! My biggest hobby is to introduce the charm of this city to young Boys_and_girls!" the middle-aged clerk laughed heartily.

After putting away the Pokémon food, Xiaoye thought for a moment and looked at the middle-aged clerk, "Sir, do you know where the most bars are in Dead Leaf City?"

"COOOOOOOL!!" The blond middle-aged clerk shouted incomprehensibly, and even turned around twice, "The first thing I did when I came to this city was to inquire about the bar, COOOOOOOL! I guarantee it with my character. , the bar in Kuye City is also well-deserved No. 1 in the entire Kanto region!"

Digging through the debris, he found a map of Dry Leaf City. The middle-aged clerk excitedly laid the map on the counter, "Boy, look, this is the main road of Electric Street, and this is South Electric Street." The bones were thick. He tapped his fingers heavily at the end of Electric South Street, "Here! This is the most famous Bar_street in this dead leaf city!"

Xiaoye carefully memorized the location pointed by the middle-aged clerk and nodded, "I understand, thank you."

Putting away the map, the middle-aged clerk suddenly lowered his voice and motioned mysteriously for Xiao Ye to come closer, "I suggest you wait until [-] o'clock in the evening to go, there will be unexpected surprises! Surprise! The red sign Silver_Bullet is a good choice, there The bar girl——"

Seeing the subtle smile on the middle-aged clerk's face, Xiao Ye immediately understood what the so-called "unexpected surprise" meant and felt a little embarrassed.

"Uh, so..."

"Hahahahahaha! How can young people not play wildly!" The middle-aged clerk laughed and threw a journey burger to Xiaoye, "Here you go, this is a gift!"

"Thank you. Then I'll take my leave."

"See_you,cool_boy!"

Xiaoye silently wiped her sweat as she walked out the door with the free burger in her arms.

Actually... I'm not a Boy, Mr. Clerk.

"Hey, Master, that person's tone of voice is a bit like Qiu, the electric monster." Pichu on his shoulder shook his ears, "Also, what's the surprise?"

"I don't know!" Xiaoye's tone was decisive.

"Eh? Really Qiu? I really want to know Qiu."

"real!"

"...Master, your expression is so strange."

"That's your illusion."

After leaving the Friendly Store, Xiaoye certainly did not go straight to the so-called "surprise" Silver Bullet Bar - she still went to the Pokémon Center as usual and gave her Pokémon to Ms. Joy for treatment.

This clerk is really... heroic.

Shaking her head helplessly, Xiaoye sat by the bed in the single dormitory and took out a black hard-covered notepad.

This is exactly the notepad that belongs to Taki.When they were in Cerulean City, it was this clue that Xiaoye and Xiaojie came into contact with about Team Rocket's action plan in the Sunlight Forest; after the battle, the police station checked the notebook and determined that there were "no useful clues" and then removed it. It was returned to Xiaoye.

Although Xiaoye felt that the police probably couldn't understand the graffiti on the notepad.

After getting used to seeing the scrawled words on the notepad, Xiaoye gradually found a pattern and was able to barely recognize some simple contents.For Xiao Ye, who has no mobile phone or books, looking through this notepad is a pastime during the journey; and while she was playing the deciphering game with nothing to do, Xiao Ye saw some interesting information.

On the seventh to last page of the notepad, there is writing like this.

クチバシティ, みかんきちバー, 白カラス (Kuye City, Orange Base Bar, White Crow).
