Pokemon Dawn

By the time Xiaoye walked out of the old bar, the colors of dusk had already colored the entire sky.

Putting the unpretentious square box into her jacket pocket, Xiaoye walked through the bar_street, which was obviously much busier. It wasn't until she reached the end of the street that Xiaoye took back the invisible waveguide power.

Just as Xiaoye expected, no one had the intention to follow her to find out the details. For this huge underground duel, she may indeed be just the most inconspicuous customer.

Although she has only seen the tip of the iceberg in the White Crow Underground Dueling Ground, Xiaoye can tell that this is a quite huge group, or in other words, power. It has standardized systems and procedures, and it must also have considerable credibility in the outside world.

Spend.

As long as you don't violate its rules and borrow power carefully, the possibility of accidents is very small.

But no matter what, it's better to have less involvement with this place before you become stronger.

After returning to the Pokémon Center and closing the dormitory door, Xiaoye tried to use the purchased plug-in.

The Pokémon illustrated book itself comes with an empty add-on disk, which is inserted into the interface on the side of the illustrated book. Trainers who need additional functions such as video recording, photography, notepads, etc. can download or purchase programs from the Internet and install them in the add-on disk.

The add-on disk purchased from the White Crow Underground Duel Arena is no different from the original one. No matter how closely you look at it, you will only think that it is an accessory produced by the original factory.

After replacing the original add-on disk, Xiaoye opened the Pokémon illustrated book. As expected, the "Limited number of Pokémon carried" column in the system information changed to 10. Other than that, there was nothing unusual.

It is indeed a very reliable product.

Xiaoye closed the illustrated book and put down the last doubt in her heart about the white crow.

Afterwards, Xiaoye turned on the computer placed in front of her desk. She entered the URL that she had memorized in her mind, and the interface that opened seemed like the official website of an online game; there were many game interface-like pictures embedded in the dark background.

The title is a line of large white characters - [Snowy Crow's Road to Kinghood ver.2.0.5 is now online].

Of course, the so-called online game homepage is just a cover. After Xiaoye entered the long 12-digit card number on the membership card into the information bar to complete the login, a new system notification was displayed in the upper right corner.

"Dear Mr. ku7481, hello. You purchased the product '[Plug-in] Pokémon Carrying Limit Modifier, Quantity Setting [10]' in Dead Leaf City at 18:23 pm on February 16, 1000, and used

The payment method is installment. Starting from next month, please transfer the final payment of 6000pd to the following account before the 5th of each month. Thank you for your generosity."

Putting down the mouse, Xiaoye sighed deeply.

Although it is a good thing to get what you want, however...

He has become a complete pauper.

The total remaining wealth is 1125pd, and he cannot even afford a bottle of high-grade wound medicine.

Thinking about having to pay a balance of 6,000pd every month, Xiaoye suddenly had the urge to hit a wall.

One of the links attached to the email was "Penalty for late payment." Even if she didn't click on it, Xiaoye knew that the so-called punishment was definitely not a peaceful and friendly content.

It seems that I need to work hard to make money, from now on...

After roughly browsing the entire homepage, Xiaoye saw the distribution of the White Crow Underground Dueling Arena in various cities. In addition to the Orange Base Bar that Xiaoye knew about, the entrance to the dueling venue in Kuye City was also a place called "Five Rivers Teahouse".

Almost all larger cities have dueling venues, and even Mihara City, the capital of the alliance, is no exception.

It seems like I won’t have to spend so much time looking for the entrance next time.

Xiaoye shook her head, cleared the browsing history, shut down the computer, and picked up the sleepy Pichu on her shoulders.

"Pichu, I'll leave it to you for tomorrow's gym battle. Please do your best."

"Qiu?" The electric mouse looked a little confused.

"If you lose, we will probably have nothing to eat."

"...I will definitely give my best Qiu!!"

Early next morning.

In the harbor area of ​​Kuye City, there is a very conspicuous tall building.

It's called the "Enterprise Building". It was transformed from the USS Enterprise, which was once the world's largest aircraft carrier. It is a comprehensive commercial building fixed at the port. The internal facilities are very complete, from hotels, department stores to Pokémon gyms.

Enjoy your life in it without having to go out.

The USS Enterprise aircraft carrier was a product of the "Bipolar Battle" period when the Pokémon Alliance and the Guardian Alliance were at war; after the war, its residual value was fully utilized. The aircraft carrier's powerful engine was used to generate electricity, and its power

Not only can it supply the entire Enterprise Building, but it can even provide energy for other buildings in the city.

Perhaps because of this, the electricity bill in Kuye City is very cheap, and it is also known as the "Electric City".

This enterprising building is one of the landmark buildings in Kuye City. However, it has just undergone a major renovation project and only resumed business a month ago.

Xiaoye had read about the accident that caused severe trauma to the Enterprise Building from the Alliance Daily six months ago.

[On April 18, 999 in the Elven Calendar, there was a major fire incident in the Enterprise Building.]

The cause of the fire in the building is said to be related to a fight between unknown forces, but the circumstances of that day have not yet been fully investigated. After the violent explosion, the fire started on the 35th floor and soon spread to the top floor; the fire brigade and rescue teams

They were dispatched one after another, but the results were still very little; when the roof collapsed, it seemed that many rescuers were buried in it, causing serious casualties.

Now, the shape of the building has long been restored to its original shape, and there is no trace of the original flames. However, there is a stone monument on the square in front of the building, and someone can be vaguely seen standing solemnly in front of the monument.

Even if the disaster has passed, its harm to people will not disappear easily.

After passing through the spacious door on the side of the aircraft carrier, Xiaoye turned around and walked down the stairs to the underground.

This city's gym is opened on the fifth underground floor of the Enterprising Building. After turning around in the stairwell for a moment, the iron gate and the sign erected beside it appeared in front of you.

"Ahead is the Vermilion Gym [Japanese: クチバジム, kuchiba_gym, English: vermilion_gym]. The electromagnetic field is very strong, but harmless to the human body. If you are concerned about your hair getting messy, I recommend you to go to the aggressive hair salon on the second floor."

"Master, this building feels so comfortable~" Pichu twitched his ears happily, and electric arcs flashed next to his cheeks. This building full of electrical energy is indeed a dreamlike paradise for electric Pokémon.

Pushing open the iron door, the entrance is dotted with colorful neon lights. In front of it is a wide underground space, currently shrouded in darkness.

"excuse me."

As soon as the voice fell, all the neon lights went out, and a dazzling beam of light hit Xiaoye.

"e_to_kuchiba_gym!" A strong voice resounded. Opposite, a burly man with blond hair in military uniform was sitting on the sofa, surrounded by wires and small colored lights.

"I am the leader of this gym, Ma Zhishi." The sturdy man stood up, his figure becoming more and more burly, "Little brother, are you here to become a disciple? Or are you here to challenge?"

This time it's the little brother.

Xiao Ye, who had become accustomed to this, bowed to Ma Zhishi, "Hello, Mr. Ma Zhishi. Please join me in the Gym Challenge."

The leader of the Dead Leaf Gym, Ma Zhishi, is said to have been a navy in the Hezhu region and was quite powerful. In the Elven Calendar 995, that is, five years ago, Ma Zhishi retired from the military and became the leader of the Dead Leaf Gym.

.

Why he gave up his military rank and retired in his prime is still a mystery. The more mainstream theory on the gt forum is that after the war on the northern border ended 13 years ago, the Pokémon Alliance began to gradually disarm, and Ma Zhishi was one of the soldiers who was forced to retire.

one.

"Hahahahahahaha." Ma Zhishi let out a deafening laugh, "My little brother is quite courageous despite his age. Well, I accept your challenge!"

The lights on the ceiling lit up one by one, illuminating the battlefield brightly. The referee in uniform was already in place. Xiaoye inserted the Pokémon illustration into the battle recorder and walked up to the challenger's seat.

Ma Zhishi waved his strong arms and threw the red and white ball high into the sky.

"The rules of combat are one-on-one, so I won't talk nonsense."

"Come on, battle!"

====================

small theater:

After roughly browsing the entire homepage, Xiaoye saw the distribution of the White Crow Underground Dueling Arena in various cities. In addition to the Orange Base Bar that Xiaoye knew about, the entrance to the dueling venue in Kuye City was also a place called "Five Rivers Teahouse".

Almost all larger cities have dueling venues, and even Mihara City, the capital of the alliance, is no exception.

Xiaoye: (Checks the balance of the bank card)...Wrong decision. If I had known better, I wouldn't have rushed to buy the plug-in in Kuye City. (Sullen face)

Pichu: (Empty eyes) No food to eat... No food to eat, Pichu...
