Pokémon: Chosen Ranger

Zhuqing Village, a village built under the leadership of the Galaxy Team, is currently the largest village in the Xicui region. It is said that this is the prototype of Zhuqing City, the future large city in the Sinnoh region.

Looking from afar, a series of wooden fences have been built between the tall hills. A giant wooden door is erected in the center. Two observation towers are built on top of the door. Usually only one person is left to guard it.

"Gah!"

"Oh, is anyone approaching, Dark Crow?" The guard on the observation deck looked at the Dark Crow on his shoulder. Its eyes were very sensitive. Every time someone approached, it would remind itself in advance that it was a trustworthy partner.

However, it has a small problem, that is, it likes shiny things. Every time someone in the village loses jewelry, it will come to him first. Every time, it is the Dark Crow who does it.

Moreover, people in the village were disgusted by its cry and black feathers, but when the guard learned from the illustrated book that this was a sign of the Dark Crow's trust in him, he no longer cared about other people's opinions.

At the same time, he also figured out a problem that had been bothering him for a long time. No wonder it looked reluctant every time he returned the jewelry.

"Well, isn't this Mingyao? There's another guy. Well, since it's Mingyao, it shouldn't be a big problem." The guard nodded and did not choose to ring the warning bell.

Soon, Xia Ye and Mingyao arrived at the gate of Zhuqing Village. Because Zhubei was busy with the aftermath of the Lejichicas incident, he entrusted Mingyao to bring Xia Ye to see Beishang.

After all, no one is more familiar with the location of Celebration Village than him.

"Mingyao, welcome back, oh, who is this person next to you?" The man wearing a bamboo hat in front of the door asked with a smile. Next to him stood a snorkeling ferret, which seemed to be much larger than the average of its kind.

"This is Xia Ye, a traveler from other areas. He is very interested in Mr. Beishang's celibacy, so I brought him here." Mingyao extended his hand and introduced.

"First time we meet, I'm Xia Ye." Xia Ye greeted.

"Hey, with such a big backpack, I think I am a businessman like the Ginkgo Chamber of Commerce. However, I was actually interested in celibacy. I was taught a hard lesson by Mr. Beishang." The guard scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Fuyo~!"

The snorkeling ferret on the side suddenly let out an energetic cry. The guard was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood what the other party meant.

"Okay, I understand. When the work is over, I will take you to challenge. This time you must defeat the octopus barrel!"

Xia Ye is a little unfamiliar with the current state of Zhuqing Village. Have they been able to get along with Pokémon in a sympathetic way? Time is indeed a very strange thing.

As for why Xia Ye was not suspected by the guards, it was because he had changed into clothes that were in line with the times. He no longer needed modern winter clothes to keep warm when leaving the pure white frozen soil.

This outfit was provided by the Pearl Team. Zhu Bei even stuffed a series of more precious items such as the Pearl Team emblem, evolution stones, and pearls into the package on her own initiative, probably to thank Xia Ye for her help.

"Well, let's go in, thank you for the hard work."

Mingyao took the first step, but when Xia Ye wanted to enter Zhuqing Village, he was stopped by the guard. He opened his eyes and smiled, saying: "Interest means you want to challenge, let me try to see if you have the challenge." Mr. Beishang’s strength!”

"Hey, Shi Jian, let me tell you first, Xia Ye is stronger than me." Mingyao looked helpless. Shi Jian looked quite honest, but in fact, he was just like the little kitten who wanted to yell at everyone he saw.

Shijian's smile froze, and he slowly turned around and asked, "Is he stronger than Mingyao?"

Seeing the trainer retreating, the snorkeling ferret let out an encouraging cry, Shi Jian's heart skipped a beat, "Hey, Mr. Beishang, I dare to challenge you. As a security guard, you must always be full of courage!"

"Xia Ye, is that okay?!"

"Well, I know." Xia Ye took out the elf ball, and this time he sent out the King Kong Ape to fight quickly.

"I expected that Shijian would lose miserably, but I didn't expect that I could only sustain one blow." Mingyao said as he walked.

"Um"

Xia Ye responded absently. He looked around and curiously took in the current situation of Zhuqing Village. The appearance of the houses did not change much, but the number increased.

Moreover, it seems that Pokémon has deeply entered into people's lives, just like what he saw in front of the Celebration Village.

The wind chimes hanging under the eaves swayed in the wind and made an ethereal sound. The old man sitting below showed a happy smile and squinted his eyes to enjoy the company.

Three big-toothed civets running and playing with the children, a small fist stone pressing on the pickle vat, a large rock snake plowing the ground, and a Kodak duck tilting its head to spray water on the ground.

The platypus that breathes flames to help the blacksmith forge, the lucky egg that greets customers at the grocery store with a smile, and the powerful force that carries wood to help people build houses.

It’s really hard to imagine that this is the Celebration Village that once feared and rejected Pokémon.

"How about it? Is there any difference between the present Zhuqing Village and the future?" Mingyao suddenly asked.

Xia Ye thought for a moment and gave his answer: "Well, from my perspective, there is no difference."

"Hehe, is that right?" Mingyao rubbed his nose with a proud smile and said proudly:

"It was the completion of the illustrated book that allowed everyone to clear up their misunderstandings about Pokémon, and Hikari also used her actions to show everyone her bond with Pokémon, and solved everyone's prejudices in the ongoing incidents."

"Humans and Pokémon can coexist harmoniously. Without light, we wouldn't be able to understand this simple truth. Even without her, we wouldn't be able to survive the disaster, and we wouldn't be able to enjoy this wonderful life. future"

"And Light is really strong. I have never defeated her, but she is someone who has faced the existence of mythology."

"Oh, I have arrived at the training ground without realizing it. Mr. Beishang usually stays here. If he is not here, it will be troublesome. He has to go to the foot of Tianguan Mountain." Mingyao stopped in front of the training ground.

"Well, let's go in first anyway." Xia Ye responded.

In the center of the training ground is a medium-sized battle arena. Apart from the material, the style is no different from modern times.

Looking further behind is a red double-story wooden house with a bright red flag flying in front of the door, which looks inspiring.

At this time, the door opened from inside the house, and a tall woman strode out. She had a fiery red ponytail and a bold look on her face.

Xia Ye knows her. This is Belila from the security team. Her perm-like curly hair is probably natural. As for the reason, the hairstyle of the modern Sinnoh Four Kings is also the same. It cannot be the perm tradition passed down from the ancestors. Bar.

Then, a white-haired man with a beard followed closely behind. His hat like a train conductor was old and worn out. The high-collar windbreaker he was wearing had many patches and the metal buttons were stained with rust. A very shabby feeling.

This man's name is Bei Shang. No matter how shabby his clothes are, he will continue to wear them, because this is the only souvenir between him and his brother.
