Pokémon: The Road to the Champion of Full-Level Players

The dusk is dim, countless tall buildings stand tall, the roads are busy with traffic, and the lights are brightly lit.

A thin figure hurriedly rushed out of the dense forest. His brown eyes turned quickly, quickly locked the direction, and ran forward.

He rushed along the road towards the city below in a hurry, with dust flying under his feet. He almost fell down many times because his feet slipped or he failed to notice the stones on the ground.

After roughly measuring the distance visually, he did not choose to follow the road, but took a shortcut and came directly to a steep slope and glanced down.

Looking at the little guy in his arms, he gritted his teeth, gathered strength, and jumped down without caring about his own life.

At a height of nearly three meters, the boy landed on the soft lawn. He was glad that he didn't just roll down, otherwise it would have been dangerous.

Staring at the figure in his arms with concern, he did not dare to hesitate, did not care about the scratches on his body, and continued running forward.

Because he took the shortcut, he quickly reached the town not far away.

After looking at the sign on the roadside, he was finally able to confirm that the city in front of him was his destination.

He held a little Flame Monkey that was covered in bruises and said anxiously: "Huh ~ Nibi City, we are here, little Flame Monkey, you must hold on, we will be at the Pokémon Center soon. By then You can receive treatment, but you must hold on!"

As he spoke, he stepped out harder and harder.

This young man is Xiao Wu, the son of Long Yu, the top management cadre of the Changpan branch.

Not long ago, he was fighting another strangely dressed man in the Viridian Forest. However, due to his lack of experience, he was mercilessly defeated by an opponent who obviously had rich insights. The little flame monkey also fell into a very serious trauma.

At that time, under the opponent's disdainful verbal attack, as well as Xiao Wu's aggrieved and unwilling expression, the little flame monkey's unyielding will was inspired, making it unwilling to admit defeat.

Even though it has found it difficult to stand up, it still crawls towards its opponent with its weak limbs, laughing crazily just to give the opponent another weak attack.

It has reached its limit but continues to fight hard, making it weaker and weaker, and the flame on its butt has become so weak that it has turned into a small flame and is almost extinguished.

Although the Little Flame Monkey is not like the Charmander, the flame on its tail represents mood and health. There is no saying that the flame extinguishing means the end of life, because it can control the burning and extinguishing of the flame by itself.

But if it is in poor health, the flames on its butt will become weaker like a Charmander.

As for Xiao Wu's little flame monkey, it was obvious that it would not take the initiative to control the flames. Therefore, he was extremely anxious and also blamed himself.

If he could stand up and admit defeat openly when the outcome of the victory was very obvious, the little flame monkey would no longer have to fight for his ridiculous self-esteem, let alone be injured like this.

"呲~"

The doors to the Pokémon Center opened on their own.

A figure slowly walked out.

boom!

Guilty and eager, Xiao Wu didn't see the other person clearly and rushed in, accidentally bumping into the other person's shoulder.

Xiaowu realized that he had made a mistake, turned around, bowed immediately and said, "I'm sorry! I'm in a hurry, I'm really sorry!"

Then, he backed up, turned around, and walked towards Miss Joy at the front desk.

Tatsumi, who had black hair and dark eyes, steadied his figure, rubbed his shoulders, turned around half-way, and looked at the boy who was about the same age as himself. He seemed to be very anxious, and he was holding a seriously injured Pokémon in his arms. .

"Huh? What kind of Pokémon is that?" He murmured to himself. His curiosity about strange Pokémon made him subconsciously follow him.

Watching the brown-haired boy follow closely behind Miss Joy, it wasn't until they entered the treatment room and closed the door that the boy stopped and watched her and Gilly Egg busy in the treatment room through the glass window.

Tatsumi walked up to the boy with hesitant steps, "You like that Pokémon very much?"

Hearing this, Xiao Wu was startled and turned around quickly.

When he saw that the person coming was the person he had hit before, he said sincerely: "It's you. I'm sorry. I was too anxious before, so I didn't look at the road and hit you."

Tatsumi shook his head and said: "It's nothing, you don't need to worry about it. My name is Tatsumi, and I live in Nibi City. What about you? You shouldn't be from this town, right? Even if I'm not familiar with most of my peers here, I've seen it before, and seeing that you rushed here in such a hurry, you must be traveling, right?"

"Well, yes! My name is Xiaowu. I have been living in Viridian City. I recently turned ten and became a new trainer." Xiaowu replied.

"Oh~" Tatsumi nodded thoughtfully. He looked at the little monkey Pokémon in the glass window and said, "Is that your first Pokémon? It doesn't seem like Dr. Oak prepared it for new trainers. One of my first partners, right?"

Xiao Wu stared at the little Flame Monkey who was receiving treatment in the glass window, and couldn't help but smile, "Yes, it is one of the beginner Pokémon in the Sinnoh region. For some reasons, I didn't get Charmander. , Squirtle, Bulbasaur, and finally got this little flame monkey from Dr. Oak with the gift of a big brother."

"So that's it! The big brother you mentioned seems to be quite nice to you. Hey, I also have a sister who is nice to me." Tatsumi said with a smile.

At this time, Miss Joy and Gilly Egg inside the glass window closed the curtains, and before that, they pointed outside, as if to signal them to go out.

Seeing this, Xiao Wu had to turn his attention to Tatsumi's words. He looked at him, showing a trace of curiosity.

Tatsumi was very satisfied with Xiao Wu's eyes. He raised his chin and nodded towards the seats in the hall not far away, indicating that he should sit there and chat first.

Seeing what he meant, Xiao Wu took one last uneasy look at the glass window behind him, but because he couldn't see what was going on inside and remembered Miss Joy's instructions, he no longer hesitated and followed him not far away. seat, sit down together.

After sitting down, Tatsumi smiled mysteriously and said, "I wonder if you have heard of... Lucy! Hehe, she is my sister."

"Lucy?" Xiaowu repeated the name. Out of politeness, he didn't rush to answer. Instead, he recalled it for a long time, and then whispered: "I haven't heard of it."

"Hmm, she...huh? What? You haven't heard of it!? How is it possible, Goddess Lucy, you...don't you usually watch Pokémon battles? It's impossible, otherwise why would you want to be Pokémon trainer? And... there is only Viridian Forest between Nibi City and Viridian City. You must have never heard of it!" Tatsumi looked at him incomprehensively, almost jumping up. .

Seeing such a huge reaction, Xiao Wu shook his head, sat on his seat, and whispered: "Sorry, I really haven't heard of it. I rarely watch Pokémon battles on TV, because around me, Many of the people I know are Pokémon trainers.”

"Huh? Really? Including the big brother you mentioned before? Are they powerful?" Tatsumi asked with interest.

Xiao Wu pondered for a moment, then looked up at the night sky outside the window with envious eyes, and said: "Yes! They are all very powerful Pokémon. In my heart, um...especially Brother Kyoko, he is really strong."

"What? What, who are you talking about? Kyoko!? That... very popular teacher, Mr. Jiro, the master of the Nibi Gym, the mysterious genius trainer, Kyoko!?" Tatsumi stood up immediately, his voice The uncontrolled amplification attracted the attention of people who were resting around them.

……

On the top of Mount Tsukimi, at Tsukimiyama Square, night invades this place and the light becomes dim.

The scorching flames were burning, and cigarette embers were flying in the dim sky.

Many people collapsed on the ground without any image, some were covering their abdomens, some were curled up on the ground, and there were more or less scars on their bodies.

In the evening, the toad shadows are rising, and the osmanthus shadows are mottled, flashing the figures of people in good health, busy around. They kept moving around, checking on the injuries of Pokémon and people, and treating them.

Dazhi and Xiaogang were among them. Because they were good at Pokémon of the same attribute, Dazhi had challenged him a long time ago, and the two knew each other.

Because of Xiaogang's identity, the senior leaders of the Trainers Guild did not embarrass Da Zhi and accepted their help.

While everyone was busy, several dark figures appeared outside a tent, and their shadows had already submerged the height of the tent.

"Ahem!" Among them, an old man wearing a golden uniform and cloak clenched his skinny hands into fists and put them in front of his mouth and coughed.

Then, the people in the tent seemed to notice the movement outside, and immediately stood up, opened the door curtain, stuck their heads out, and looked outside.

In the quiet night, the senior cadre of the Changpan branch, Long Yu; the senior cadre of the Hualan branch, Qing Muwang, was Xie Yun; the senior cadre of the golden branch, Mr. Du; and the senior cadre of the light red branch, Ye Lin.

A total of five figures, under the illumination of the moonlight, stared at him with serious expressions and remained silent.

"Um... you, you guys... senior branch officials, Mr. Du, what can I do for you?"

Feeling a strong sense of oppression, Shun Che, an ordinary trainer of the Golden Branch, couldn't help but break into a cold sweat, and even his tone became very unconfident.

"Hmph! Don't you know what we have going on?" Mr. Du no longer looked as amiable as before, his attitude was stern, his tone revealed anger, and his beard twitched as he spoke.

At this time, he had a bookish aura, and looked like a teacher who hated iron but could not become steel. He looked at Shun Che with anger and disappointment in his eyes.

Shun Che didn't understand what he meant. He first glanced at the furious Mr. Du, and then looked at the other senior executives with cold expressions. He got out of the tent with a guilty conscience, then stood up and faced the senior executives in front of him.

At this moment, Mr. Teng, wearing a thick robe, came over with a young man.

Shun Che accidentally caught a glimpse of the young man's face, and his pupils widened unconsciously, because the young man walking over looked exactly like him, and there was no fault at all.

If it weren't for the distance and the other party was still moving, he would have thought that what he saw in front of him was a mirror.

"This! He..." Shun Che pointed at the young man who looked the same as himself, and looked at several senior executives, as if he wanted to explain whether this guy was pretending to be him and did bad things, and it was all just a misunderstanding.

But he stuttered for a long time, and the senior officials didn't say anything, as if they didn't care at all.

Swallowing hard, Shun Che wiped the sweat from his forehead, feeling a wave of panic in his heart. He hesitated and said: "Did you misunderstand something? Who is that guy who looks the same as me? Is he pretending to be me? , what have you done to deserve your anger?"

Long Yu, who stood expressionless on one side, replied calmly: "Yes!"

Hearing this, the frightened Shun Che secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense body relaxed. He squeezed out an ugly smile, "That's good, it turned out to be a misunderstanding. In that case, senior executives, please don't look at me like this. Really? You guys look at me like this, I’m under a lot of pressure!"

As soon as he said this, he noticed that Mr. Du's eyes towards him remained the same, without any change, and there was a hint of anger. In an instant, he suddenly realized that things were not as simple as he imagined.

Long Yu's gloomy brown eyes turned slightly. He looked up and down at Shun Che in front of him and said, "Disguised as you, he met an unknown force that was operating in secret, and successfully made contact. Deeply trusted by the other party..."

Deliberately leaving a few seconds for the other party to react, Long Yu looked at him thoughtfully and continued: "So, is there anything else you want to explain?"

After being stunned for a while, Shun Che finally came to his senses.

He asked incredulously: "Why do you, he... want to pretend to be me?"

"Don't you think your recent behavior is too unusual? You are so sneaky and mysterious. Do you think our senior officials are fools?" Mr. Du suppressed his anger and gritted his teeth.

"Haha, it turns out you guys figured it out so quickly~" Shun Che lowered his head and said with half emotion and half loss.

His whole body seemed weak, his hands were hanging by his legs, and his waist was not as straight as before.

Mr. Du stared at Shun Che and said nothing for a long time.

Several other senior officials were waiting for the old man to speak. Even the older Teng Lao just took the young man who looked the same as Shun Che to the side and waited quietly.

Shun Che was very casual and disdainful about this. He seemed to not care about anything. He looked at Mr. Du and said angrily: "Hey! What are you looking at me doing..."

"What's your reason for betraying the guild!?" Mr. Du interrupted him forcefully.

Hearing this, Shun Che couldn't bear it. He tried his best to control himself, suppressed his emotions, and said in a low voice: "I say, can you respect me and let me finish my sentence?"

"I'm asking you a question!" Mr. Du's eyes widened angrily, and he once again spoke before he finished speaking.

This time, Shun Che couldn't bear it anymore. He vented his suppressed anger bit by bit by roaring:

"Why!? You ask me why? Old man, don't you know? Who am I? I am a member of the Golden Branch. How many years have I been here? I have grown up here since I was a child. I am younger than them. I have too much experience and have completed countless tasks. In terms of qualifications, who in the same age group dares to say that they are more senior than me? I am their senior, and you made me so embarrassed in front of them and let me be taught a lesson by a junior. You Ask me why?”

Mr. Du frowned very tightly and his face turned ugly. After listening to Shun Che's words, he suddenly raised his hand and slapped the young man who was a head taller than him in the face.

"Because of this? Just because of your pride, you can betray the guild that unconditionally raised you to such a big guild? Look at your juniors, look at them, just because of you, you were seriously injured in the ambush that suddenly appeared just now , why do you have the nerve to say that you are a senior? Let me ask you, how do you look like a senior?"

At this moment, Mr. Du no longer behaved as elegantly as before, but instead scolded angrily.

Shun Che, who had been slapped, slowly raised one hand to cover his face, while the other hand swayed as his body swayed, his body swaying left and right, as if he were a gangster.

"Hahaha, just because of this? Hahaha, this is all you saw? Didn't you give me too many blows?"

Speaking of this, Shun Che shouted almost hysterically:

"Ever since I was young, you have hit me extremely hard. Compared with my peers of the same age, my performance is obviously very good, but you have never given me a good look. You have given me nothing but blows. , just to pick out my shortcomings! It is obvious that even if other people make mistakes, you will comfort them, you will find things worthy of praise to praise them, and even if you contradict the senior management because of some disputes, you will smile and appease them, Then I ask them to apologize, but when it’s my turn, why do I only get reprimanded regardless of whether it’s right or wrong!?”

"Especially every time, every time...when I was about to approach Charlene, you would think of ways to cause trouble for me, make me look ugly, and embarrass me in front of everyone! Until later, even standing You have to control my posture, sitting posture, and even the tone of my voice. I'm not a robot. Is it interesting that you're targeting me like this?"

"Ah? Don't you think it's funny? Whenever the juniors talk about your hypocrisy, they will praise you for being kind and treating young people very kindly. At first, I might still feel puzzled and fall into a deep Autistic, until later, I would only feel sick about it, because I know your true face and how hateful you really are!"

After saying everything, he took a few breaths, looked at Mr. Du coldly, and said: "If you have to say what made me betray the guild, then I can only say that you forced me!"

Shun Che seemed to have vented all the anger in his heart, and he felt comfortable for a long time. He looked at Mr. Du, as if hoping to see the old man's embarrassed expression after knowing that his secret had been revealed.

However, what surprised him was that Mr. Du did not feel ashamed, but looked disappointed.

The senior leaders of other guilds obviously didn't expect such an inside story, but they were all veterans after all. They didn't show too much intention or surprise. They just looked at Mr. Du without changing their expressions.

These senior executives did not make any comments on Shun Che's words. As they were also senior executives of the branch, they actually wanted to know Mr. Du's response.

After all, the person who tied the bell must be tied to untie it. No matter how Shun Che was dealt with, there was no way to avoid Mr. Du.

Mr. Du lowered his head and felt the eyes of others, and he couldn't help but sigh deeply.

At this moment, Teng Lao's voice came from the side.

"Let me explain it!"
