Dual-career Pokémon trainer

Black Gold City is an important coal town with abundant natural resources. Ventilation vents that protrude from the surface are scattered throughout the city to exchange the sinking air underground and the fresh air above the ground. The Black Gold Tan Pit Museum and Black Gold Tan Pit are located here. Miners often rest in the gym between jobs. At the same time, this is also a natural training ground for rock elves. For example, large rock snakes can hone themselves by going deep underground in the mines and using the pressure of the earth. Small fist stones can also be continuously polished here.

Lin Jing, who received the Celebration Ribbon Medal, embarked on the journey again after a day's rest. Different from the distance between Zhensha Town and Zhuqing City, it took only one day to arrive at Black Gold City after leaving Zhuqing City.

Lin Jing, who had been traveling all day, rushed to the Pokémon Center first to restore the health of Huayedi and Fairy Eevee.

"Are you Mr. Lin Jing from Zhensha Town?" asked the Pokémon Center staff who saw the registration information in the illustrated book.

"It's me, what's wrong?"

"You have a message from Masa Town, instructing you to call the Yamanashi Research Institute when you arrive."

"Okay, I know."

. . . . . . .

The technology in the Pokémon world is a bit crooked.

It is extremely advanced in space technology and has not only developed the magical Poké Ball.

It even has the technology to teleport Poké Balls and their Pokémon to distant towns, and the Pokédex can even accurately search for Pokémon just by scanning them.

But for communication, video wired phones are used.

It wasn't until much later that Citron, the leader of Carlos' Miare Gym, invented a collection of illustrations through Rotom, and the Rotom phone, a multifunctional device for mobile phones, became truly convenient.

Previously, if you wanted to find someone who was traveling, you could only leave a message in advance at the Pokémon Center in the town that the other person might pass through. It was really inconvenient to wait like a waiter.

A majestic-looking Dr. Yamanashi on the video phone screen said, "I heard about your performance at the celebration. As a new trainer who just went on a trip, you did very well."

"No, they say they are new trainers. But after all, Hua Beibei and I have been training at the institute for a year. How can we be considered new trainers? Please don't ridicule me." Lin Jing shook her head with a wry smile.

"I'm not being sarcastic. After all, even if you have been training for a year, you have been doing research most of the time. Moreover, you have not actually participated in the gorgeous competition. It is different from normal trainer battles. Even so, it is your first time. It’s really great to win the championship in the competition.” Dr. Yamanashi said.

"Also, it's been almost half a month since you set out. Have you picked up any new partners?"

"No, currently my only partners are Fairy Eevee and Huayedi, who just evolved from Hua Beibei in the gorgeous contest. I haven't conquered them since I didn't have any partners who liked each other along the way."

"After all, if you tame it, it will be your lifelong partner. You have to treat it well. Therefore, my standards for taming Pokémon are very high."

"Of course, if fate comes, maybe we will meet each other~ In my opinion, a guy who just subdues whatever he sees and then throws it in the backyard and never cares about it again is not qualified to be a trainer at all."

Peng~

During the second half of the conversation, Lin Jing seemed to have thought of something and punched the wall heavily.

"Is that so, instead of treating Pokémon as tools or props for collecting illustrated books, but as lifelong partners to establish bonds? I have seen countless new trainers over the years, but I have never seen anyone like you. How many?"

Dr. Yamanashi nodded as he listened.

"Then let's talk about the key points."

"That's it. Dr. Omu heard that you are finally willing to go out and travel. Please ask me to invite you to the Kanto area. I hope to have a face-to-face discussion with you on detailed issues related to the fairy system and Fairy Eevee."

Originally, he was planning to come here in person, but unfortunately Dr. Oak has too many things to do around him. If you are willing to go, Dr. Oak will cover all travel and accommodation. In addition, he will give you a gift that is very suitable for a trainer. You It depends on what you want. "Dr. Yamanashi said.

"Does Dr. Ohmu invite me? That's my honor. I've wanted to meet Dr. Ohki for a long time. Anyway, it's only the end of April. The start time of this Sinnoh Alliance Conference is October, so I can make it in time." Lin Jing calculated Waiting for time and then said excitedly.

"Is that so? Then I will reply to Dr. Omu later. Speaking of which, you are in Black Gold City now."

"The fastest route to the Kanto area from there is to take the train from Kurogane City directly to Suimai City, and then take the ferry directly from Suimai City to Kanto." Dr. Yamanashi said.

"Okay, I've written it down. After I finish the gym battle at the Black Gold Gym, I will rush directly to Water Vein City to go to the Kanto area as soon as possible. There happens to be a steel-type Water Vein Gym in Water Vein City, but I didn't expect it to be so early. Are you going to challenge? With my current team, it is very disadvantageous to enter the Water Vein Gym." Lin Jing said with a wry smile.

"That's it, let's work hard in the gym competition!" Dr. Yamanashi said and hung up the phone.

Kanto area, Dr. Ohki, I really didn’t expect to go there so early, but fortunately, although it was much earlier than expected, I guess I saw a lot of acquaintances in advance (?w?) Lin Jing thought excitedly With.

The problem is what to do with the Water Vein Gym in Water Vein City (? ^ ?). It’s much earlier than expected. The lineup is completely unformed. Only relying on Huayedi and Fairy Eevee is too disadvantageous. Should we skip it for now? ? Thinking of this, Lin Jing was so troubled that her neatly styled hair turned into a chicken coop.

Anyway, after resting, let’s go find Hyota tomorrow and get the black gold badge and then talk about other things.

Lin Jing was excited and troubled because her plan was disrupted.

Huayidi and Fairy Ibrahimovic, who had already recovered, looked at Lin Jing, whose expression was constantly changing, and looked at each other.

"Hua Ye? (What's wrong with Jing?)" Hua Beibei looked at Fairy Ibrahimovic and asked in confusion.

"Fei Yao Fei~ (I don't know, is this what humans call menopause.)" ╮(￣▽￣)╭ Fairy Ibrahimovic replied with a paralyzed ribbon.

"Why are you looking at me with such strange eyes? I always feel that you are thinking of something very rude. Anyway, go back to the hotel and have a good rest. We will go to the Black Gold Gym to challenge tomorrow."

Lin Jing was still scratching her head and worried when she heard the shouts and strange looks of Huayedi and Fairy Eevee next to her.
