Dawn of Pokémon

Unlike the chaotic and dirty scene you imagined, what you see is pure.

Pure white tile floors, pure white ceilings, pure white lights, pure white walls; the counter directly opposite is still white, and the wall next to it is engraved with images of birds spreading their wings.

"Welcome to the White Crow Underground Dueling Ground." Standing by the door, a row of young women in professional attire smiled brightly, and voices like silver bells rang in unison.

Capturing their words word for word, Xiaoye responded with a smile.

Bingo.

One of them walked out of the welcoming queue, bowed slightly with the same professional smile as the previous young waiter, "Hello, usher No. 217 will serve you wholeheartedly. Do you need help?"

Xiaoye's eyes glanced at the guide sign, "I want to buy something."

"Understood, please go this way to the mall."

A young woman who calls herself "Guide No. 217" leads Xiaoye through the empty hall.They did not show the slightest doubt about Xiaoye's age, as if it was a matter of course for a boy of this age to come to this place.

Xiao Ye used her peripheral vision to glance at the high heels of the conductor No. 217.The pace of this man's walking... doesn't seem to be that of an ordinary service worker.

"Please come in."

Pushing open the pure white wooden door, the guide No. 217 and Xiaoye walked into the room with the "Store" sign hanging.

The scene in the room was not the dazzling array of goods that Xiaoye had imagined.The entire room is only a dozen square meters. There are five staff members sitting behind the counter directly opposite. Behind each of them is a door that leads to an unknown location.

On the far right, a man in a cloak is talking quietly to the staff, and a young female usher is also standing next to him.Seeing someone entering, the cloaked man seemed to look at Xiaoye warily and lowered his voice even more.

After looking at the entire room, Xiaoye walked towards the counter on the far left.The staff member opposite was a middle-aged man who was nearly fifty years old. He nodded lazily to Xiao Ye, "Welcome to White Crow Department Store. This is the product list."

After the words fell, the electronic screen in front of the counter lit up.

"This list contains the list of all the goods in the mall. You can spend more time reading it carefully. I believe there will be goods that surprise you." Unlike the reticent staff, the guide No. 217 looked very attentive. , carefully introduced to Xiaoye how to check the list.

[Pokémon], [Items], [Medicines], [Weapons], [Programs], there are dozens of categories of goods alone.Click on the [Weapons] column, and many hot weapons that are strictly prohibited from trading by the Pokémon League are listed, as unworthy of mentioning as the vegetables in the market - of course, the price marked at the end is no doubt to Xiaoye It's an astronomical number.

Randomly flipping through the goods list, Xiaoye had a preliminary understanding of the goods sold here.Then, click on the [Programs] column, and sure enough, you will find a list of plug-ins that modify the Pokémon Pokédex data.

[Plug-in] Pokémon carrying limit modifier, quantity setting [10]; price: 60,000pd

[Plug-in] Pokémon carrying limit modifier, quantity setting [14]; price: 100,000pd

[Plug-in] Pokémon carrying limit modifier, quantity setting [18]; price: 140,000pd

[Plug-in] Pokémon carrying limit modifier, quantity setting [22]; price: 180,000pd

Night:"……"

Before coming here, Xiaoye checked her bank/card balance - 31,125pd.

Although she found what she needed, Xiaoye was not happy at all.Even the cheapest plug-in that increases the quantity to 10 would cost a full 6 Elf Coins, which is already twice my entire net worth.

"...The plug-ins sold in our mall have absolute quality guarantee and will have no future problems. You can use it with confidence. If the goods you need to purchase are more expensive, you can choose to pay in installments. After paying 50.00% of the fee on site, you can You can use the goods you purchased in advance, and then 217% of the remaining balance will be transferred to the mall account on time every month until all fees are paid..." Instructor No. [-] was still chattering in Xiaoye's ears.

installment?

Xiaoye thought for a moment, interrupted the instructor No. 217, and clicked on the modifier with the lowest price, "I want to buy this plug-in. Use the installment payment method you just mentioned."

"Understood." Instructor No. 217 skillfully operated the list and sent the name of the product Xiaoye purchased to the other side of the counter.

"Please wait a moment." The staff stood up slowly, opened the door behind him and walked in, probably to get the goods.

However, goods worth 217 Elf Coins require payment in installments, and it is rare for such poor people to do so.However, the expression of usher No. [-] did not change at all, and he still faced his guests with the most attentive and respectful attitude.

"Thank you for your generosity. Do you have a membership card?"

"No."

"So, you are a customer who is here for the first time, right?" Instructor No. 217 showed a formulaic smile, "As long as you make purchases or participate in competitions at the White Crow Underground Dueling Ground, you are entitled to get one for free. Membership card. There is no need for any documents to prove your identity, and no need to leave any image data. As long as you hold the membership card, you can enjoy the permissions of this account."

The young woman spoke quickly and introduced the unique business here, "You can enjoy a 9.95% discount when shopping with a membership card, which is of great benefit to you. Do you want me to apply for one for you? Membership card?”

After listening calmly to the introduction given by the guide No. 217, Xiaoye nodded, "Thank you for the introduction, then I'll trouble you."

"It's my pleasure."

Just by glancing at the product list, Xiaoye could tell that the water in this place was very deep, and the power behind it was impossible to estimate.It would be useful to know more about such a huge force.

Xiaoye is not a law-abiding citizen.As long as it does not violate the moral bottom line, it is a natural choice to obtain benefits through such means.

Although the consumption of money is really terrible.

After paying a down payment of 30000pd via bank transfer, Xiaoye got the square box containing the plug-in carrier.After that, I followed the guide No. 217 to the lobby, and the application for the membership card had just been completed.

It was a pure white hard card, and "KU7481" written on the front was Xiaoye's nickname here, and it was also the account name of the registered user.On the reverse side, there was a website address that Xiaoye had never seen before.

"Mr. KU7481, this is your membership card. Please keep it. You can log in to the website written on the membership card to check the account for future remittances. Please don't forget to pay on time." The guide handed the membership card to Xiaoye on the 217th. .

It was Boy before, and now it’s Mr.…

Xiaoye could no longer complain about this, she just nodded silently and followed the conductor No. 217 out.

There is a wide floor-to-ceiling window on one side of the corridor.You can see through the window that on the other side of the room is a standard Pokémon battle arena, and there is a dull sound of impact coming from it.

The burly male trainer looked crazy, running rampant on the field with his partner Circle Bear.The trainer opposite seemed to be just a thin and short child, and his huge fist quickly approached him.

Blood spilled.

The red-eyed Abo monster gnawed hard at the waist and abdomen of the burly man, and withstood the hammer of the circle bear, and threw his scarred body to the corner of the field.

Victory and defeat.

Faintly hearing the enthusiastic cheers of the surrounding audience, Xiaoye narrowed her eyes slightly.

Sure enough, this is the kind of battle that is being run here.

Xiao Ye was not surprised at all.Having heard the information about the White Crow Underground Dueling Ground introduced by Instructor No. 217 before, Xiaoye knew that most of the people who came to fight here were desperate desperadoes.

For those people, winning is the rule.

"Are you interested in our duel event?" Seeing Xiaoye looking at the battle field, the instructor No. 217 immediately picked up the topic, "All the competitions we hold have very high bonuses, and there is no fee to register. I want to. If you want to make money quickly, I think participating in competitions is a very effective way.”

"Well, I'm somewhat interested." Xiaoye turned the square box in her hand, her eyes under the hood without any warmth, "Unfortunately, I didn't bring Pokémon with me today, so we can only talk about it later."

Such a cruel fighting form is far from an upright official arena match.Although Xiaoye herself was used to this in her previous life, she did not think that the immature fire dinosaurs were suitable for participating in such a battle.

The so-called "some interest" is just a casual and perfunctory statement.Although funds are indeed tight, Xiaoye will never let her Pokémon step into this place easily.

At least, before their power matures, this place called "White Crow" will be a forbidden area forever.

"Really? I understand." Instructor No. 217 raised a professional smile and pointed to the elevator where Xiao Ye came.

"Goodbye, Mr. KU7481. We look forward to your visit again."
