Pokemon Dawn

My name is Yusa Shintaro, I am ten years old and a new trainer from Joban City.

I was born in an ordinary family with ordinary parents. I started my journey as a trainer in an ordinary way on January 1st this year. Now I am living an ordinary study life in a not-so-ordinary academy.

Although living on land in the sky is a bit scary, this kind of life where you can go to school, brainstorm, and amuse children——

Maybe it's not that bad.

[March 8, 1000, 17:53 pm, Konglu Red Zone, Guanghui Academy Training Ground]

Days like this...are clearly bad!

"So, so...what's going on..." Shintaro felt like he was about to cry.

After the last practical lesson, Shintaro was once again stopped by a stranger as he wanted to leave the training ground. However, this time the uninvited guest was not as cute as Little Divi.

The young man in a snow-white trench coat in front of him clearly looked about the same age as him, but his whole body exuded a terrifying and violent aura. Seeing the other classmates gradually disappearing, Shintaro became more and more frightened, and his legs trembled.

Shouldn't it be that you want to kill people and silence them? I, I, I didn't do anything wrong...

"Hey, don't worry." The boy laughed strangely, and even reached out to pinch Shintaro's chin, "You can wait until everyone has left before you can talk."

Help, help, help! What a pervert!!

Shintaro's originally low-capacity brain was completely flooded with ah ah ah ah ah ah. He cast his eyes around for help, but the few remaining students stayed away as if they had agreed upon it.

Shintaro, who was still ignorant about the place he was in, didn't know why his classmates were so "indifferent", let alone what the boy's dress meant.

Although the students of Guanghui Academy all wear casual clothes, the Guanghui Association actually has a uniform. It is not the "college", but the "association" - the headquarters of this organization.

The snow-white windbreaker, silver windshield, and the Nichiwa emblem on the back - this is the symbol of the Kouki Club. Akagu interns who can wear this uniform are no longer students, but real members of the Kouki Club.

Everyone who comes to Guanghui Academy is eager to become a member of Guanghui Society, and of course they will not provoke the uniformed members.

After looking at the brown-haired boy with an evil smile for a while, Luke's expression gradually darkened.

He is thin and small, with a body like a weak chicken, and his courage is not much stronger than that of Rattata. No matter how you look at it, he is obviously a good-for-nothing kid waiting to die...

Why did Mr. Divi give him his voucher!!

"Okay, we're the only two left now." Luke raised his eyebrows, "Why don't we be more clean during the fight?"

Fight, fight, fight?

Shintaro was even more frightened when he heard this.

It's over, it's over. Is this the legendary delinquent boy who looks for trouble? I, I, I, I don't know how to fight——

"Are you deaf? Didn't you hear what I said?"

Luke's voice came from far away. When Shintaro raised his eyes, he saw Luke already standing at the trainer's seat opposite.

The brown-haired boy was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses.

What, you’re talking about Pokémon battles.

Could it be that... this is just a fight?

...Really, he was so ferocious that I thought I was going to get punched.

Shintaro's expression suddenly relaxed, and he even smiled at Luke, "I know, let's go."

"Hurry up." Luke said impatiently, "And don't smile at me, it's disgusting."

"oh……"

Facts have proved that Shintaro relaxed too early.

The spinning scale doll looked quite cute, but Shintaro's eyes were full of fear when he looked at it.

In just a few minutes, his Squirtle and Spearow had all fallen under the mental impact of the Libra Idol.

Shintaro has never encountered such a powerful opponent. The strongest trainer he has ever encountered in the past is just the leader of the Dead Leaf Gym - the fiery Masashi, although his attacks are fierce, he is still gentle in nature.

Guidance battles will not destroy all opportunities for the opponent to make a comeback like Luke did.

Can't win.

Unable to fight back.

Such negative thoughts were swirling in Shintaro's mind.

"Why are you so dazed? Send the next Pokémon quickly, don't you have three of them?" Luke said with a bit of disdain in his voice and gave Shintaro a hard blow.

"But, but..." The goldfish cannot fight on land...

It's...no longer possible.

Forget it, it’s just a competition, let’s just admit it here…

"Don't tell me you already want to give in."

As if the last bit of patience had been exhausted, Luke walked over step by step with a sullen face. Shintaro could clearly see that the young man's ferocious red-brown eyes contained storm-like anger.

"Does this count as a battle? It's too shameful. You kid... are you looking down on me?!"

The coldness penetrated from the head to the soles of the feet, making Shintaro's body stiff and unable to move. He didn't know that this was the aura called "murderous aura". He just felt that he was trapped in an unbearable fear. He couldn't even say anything and could only fight with all his strength.

Shaking his head with tears in his eyes.

"Huh, even if you don't want to fight me properly..." Luke smiled wantonly. He raised his right arm, and Shintaro was horrified to see that the layer of transparent armor covering Luke's arm was actually moving like a living thing.

Creeping.

"I will also force you to use all your strength!"

When the cold gray-white light shot out, Shintaro truly felt the breath of death approaching.

Why……

We obviously don't know each other, why are you targeting me like this?

I have indeed used all my strength!

I have never been strong enough to satisfy you. Yes, I... was just a...

When Shintaro fell into despair, a young boy's voice filled with anger dispelled the shadow.

"Stop it, Luke!"

The chill that made Shintaro shiver faded away, replaced by a scorching warm breath. Raising his eyes in surprise, Shintaro saw his roommate and senior standing in front of him. The white light barrier spread like ripples, quietly

Swallowed the attack from Luke.

Although he could only see his back, Shintaro suddenly felt at ease.

"Kazuhiko Takeuchi!" Luke gritted his teeth and took a step back involuntarily, "What are you doing here? Don't interfere in our duel!"

"What kind of duel is this?" Kazuhiko said angrily, guarding Shintaro behind him, "Spar cannons cannot be used on humans. Have you forgotten the rules set by Mr. Byakuya?"

"Tch, forget it." Luke curled his lips. As his right hand dropped, the transparent substance that turned into the muzzle softened like water waves again and turned back into armor.

"Okay, for your sake, I won't embarrass this kid." Luke took two steps forward with a cold face and extended his hand to Shintaro, "As long as you hand over Mr. Divi's certificate."

"Eh...?" Shintaro was a little stunned.

Mr. Divi?

Ah, are you talking about Xiao Diwei? What is the certificate?

And why does this dangerous guy know little Divi's name?

Luke didn't know what Shintaro was thinking about, so he impatiently raised his voice, "Hand it over! With the strength of a three-legged cat like you, you are not qualified to have Mr. Divi's certificate!"

certificate……

Are you talking about that wood carving?

But...that is proof of my friendship with Xiao Diwei.

Shintaro felt that his mind was in chaos, and he subconsciously avoided Luke's hand. Kazuhiko, who had seemed a little surprised before, calmed down his expression, and once again stood in front of Shintaro with a stern face.

"No matter who Mr. Divi is willing to give the certificate to, this is not something we should interfere with." Kazuhiko said. Seeing Luke's face tightening, Kazuhiko immediately knew that he had guessed right.

Although I don’t know why Xiao Zhen got Mr. Diwei’s certificate... but no matter what, it is Xiao Zhen’s own thing.

As a senior, Kazuhiko will not sit back and watch the things belonging to his juniors be taken away casually.

"Kazuhiko." Luke's face darkened, "It seems you are deliberately causing trouble for me?"

"I will return this sentence to you intact on behalf of my descendants."

The next moment, the two of them simultaneously threw the Poké Balls they had already held in their hands. Shintaro, who was supposed to be the person involved, had no chance to interrupt and could only open his eyes wide and look at the two Pokémon that appeared in the strong wind.

"King Scorpio, attack the key points secretly!"

Luke's somewhat hysterical voice was mixed with the sound of the wind. The Scorpion King's pincers flashed with cold light and slashed forward with an extremely sharp breath.

Then, it was completely blocked by Boss Cordora's hard body.

Even though he was already hiding behind Boss Cordora, Shintaro could still feel the sharpness coming towards him. The thin boy did not dare to move, for fear that he would be beheaded by the Scorpion King if he stuck his head out.

However, Kazuhiko's feet seemed to have taken root, and he stood firmly beside Boss Cordora, without retreating at all. However, the figure of the fourteen-year-old boy was not that tall, but he was like an indestructible shield.

Blocked all dangers for Shintaro.

The Scorpion King let out a harsh scream, and the sword energy released from his body gathered in his pincers, tearing apart the strong wind.

Cutting pliers?

Facing the fatal skill with a one-hit kill effect, Kazuhiko still did not take a step back. The voice contained the unique confidence and vigor of a boy, "It's coming. Boss Cordora, stop it!"

Without making a sound, the giant steel beast opened its armor-covered hands and steadily faced the speeding Scorpio King.

Like the strongest "shield".

[March 8, 1000, 18:40 in the evening, Konglu Red District, Fountain Square]

The private fight on the training ground ended with Luke's complete defeat. The boy who came to find trouble gritted his teeth and left, while Kazuhiko and Shintaro came to the deserted Fountain Square to rest.

"Is this the certificate that Luke mentioned?" Kazuhiko looked at the exquisite small wooden carving in Shintaro's hand.

"Well... it should be."

The brown-haired boy sat by the fountain, his head lowered.

what is going on……

This is obviously a gift from Xiao Diwei, not some inexplicable certificate.

And...what's going on with "Mr. Divi"? He's obviously just...

Shintaro was a little reluctant to continue thinking because the answer was clearly in front of him.

Recall that when Divi introduced himself, he said - "I am the manager of the purple group Divi". It was Shintaro who ignored this sentence without authorization and treated him as an ordinary child. Although he did not know the manager

It means nothing, but just from the attitudes of Luke and Kazuhiko, we can see that Divi is not an ordinary child.

I'm so...so...

"Xiao Zhen!"

"Eh, eh? What??" The loud voice in his ears made Shintaro raise his head in panic.

Kazuhiko smiled and put the wooden sculpture back into Shintaro's hands and cleared his throat.

"Ah, I'm so stupid. Luke is obviously about the same age as me, but not only did he lose the Pokémon battle, but he was so scared that his legs were shaking. And he even got the certificate from Divi and didn't know what it was.

, even treating Divi as an ordinary child..."

"Wow, stop talking!" Shintaro danced with fear, "Kazuhiko-senpai, you, you...can read minds?"

"Haha, how is that possible?" Kazuhiko smiled and rubbed Shintaro's soft hair, "It's all written on his face."

"Woo..."

"You don't have to think too much." Kazuhiko clicked the wooden carving in Shintaro's hand, "Although you are the manager of the Purple Group, as far as I know, Mr. Divi is a very straightforward person. Although I don't know what he is.

For what reason I gave this certificate to you, but——"

The red-haired boy showed a bright smile that reassured Shintaro, "What he said at that time must be his true intention."

Perhaps because Kazuhiko's tone was too firm, Shintaro couldn't help but believe what he said.

"This... ah."

What I said at that time...

So, Xiao Diwei’s desire to be friends with me is genuine?

It would be great if so.

No, that must be the case. Xiao Diwei has no reason to lie to me.

Seeing that the junior's expression seemed to be cloudy and bright, Kazuhiko nodded with satisfaction and sat back down next to Shintaro.

"Xiao Zhen, have I ever said that your last name is very handsome?"

"……Eh?"

The sudden change of topic made Shintaro stunned for a moment. But Kazuhiko was already talking to himself, "Yusa, he is the hero. He is very handsome, isn't he?"

"Hey, hey? Why do you know this?" Shintaro was shocked. Could it be that his father's missionary work has successfully spread to the whole world?

"You know?" Kazuhiko tilted his head, "I just think it reads very similar."

"...Ah, that's right."

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhsofyofsrelythinkedofthoughofthoughtofthinking carefullythat Isn't it a homophonic pronunciation for me? I've been stupid again!

The villain in Shintaro's mind was already crying.

"I have loved stories of brave men since I was a child." Kazuhiko said slowly, "A brave man is a hero of justice who saves people from crises. Although it sounds ridiculous, even after becoming a trainer, I have always dreamed of -

—To become a person like the legendary brave."

"That's why I'm here now." The young man stood up, his golden eyes facing the warmth of the sunset, "Increasing strength and broadening horizons are all needed to become a "brave"."

"I don't know why you are here, but since you are here -" Kazuhiko said with a smile, "Before thinking, it is a good choice to take action first."

After a few days of getting along with each other, Kazuhiko had already vaguely noticed something. Much like himself at the time, Shintaro was also sent to Konglu in his own ignorance. He still didn't know what kind of existence the Kouki Club was.

I don't even know why I am here.

It is inevitable to feel uneasy when you are in a place that is completely unfamiliar and contrary to common sense. At this time, of course, as a senior, I have to take on the responsibility of guiding the way.

The brown-haired boy thought quietly for a moment and then raised his head.

Shintaro rarely looked at others. Kazuhiko discovered that this boy in his early ten years had a pair of very clear eyes.

"Senior Kazuhiko, I have a question to ask you."

"What?"

"Why...why do you want to become a "brave"? A righteous hero who saves people sounds very handsome...but is it difficult, right?"

"Well, how should I put it..." Kazuhiko stood up and took a few steps forward. Bathed in the orange afterglow, Kazuhiko's shadow trailed long behind him, like a giant.

"If you want to help others, you don't need any reason."

His eyes widened slightly, and the boy's vigorous voice overlapped with a certain words of a certain person in Shintaro's memory.

【I want to be someone who can help everyone.】

[Our team is called "Moyu Rescue Team", and the last three words cannot be omitted! ]

【reason?】

【Haha, you don’t need a reason to help others.】

Kazuhiko smiled as he noticed that his junior's eyes were gradually becoming more alert.

"First of all, my intuition has always been very accurate - Xiao Zhen, I can feel it. You will definitely become a great guy."

With a look of surprise that was almost flattering, he stretched out his hand to Shintaro.

"If you feel uneasy, would you like to try it with me?"

"Together, we become "brave"."
