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 I met a bad boy a while ago and almost got beaten up, there are good things.

"You can become a great person", for the first time, someone said this to me, a loser.

I don’t want to let down my seniors. So, today I have to work harder!

"...Based on this information, the conclusion that can be drawn is!" The orange-haired girl with twin ponytails held a small notepad and talked eloquently. "If we want to defeat Teacher Noya, we must first ensure the variability of our tactics.

To disrupt the natural bird’s ability to predict the future!”

"Uh, Nana-kun, the sound is too loud..."

Walking in the corridor of the teaching building, Shintaro looked helplessly at the energetic girl beside him.

"What does it matter? Class hasn't started yet."

Although this is indeed the case...but everyone around us is looking at us!

Shintaro, who was not used to being the center of attention, shrank his head without tears.

"Compared to those," Nana smiled and tilted her head, her black and white eyes shining with light, "Shintaro-san, what do you think of this?"

"Ah, well...it's really worth a try. You can actually get such detailed information."

"Hey, I'm the daughter of a reporter. This level of information collection is a piece of cake!" Nana raised her head with some pride, and the small bell tied between the hairband made a pleasant sound.

This girl's name is Yoshikawa Nana [yoshikawa_nana], and she is a classmate of mine. Although she studied in the same class, before that incident, we only had a relationship of "knowing each other's names".

...Well, that was an accident that people really don’t want to mention. Thinking about it now makes me sweat.

I have long been accustomed to living a transparent life, and I didn’t have any particularly close friends in my class in elementary school. Thanks to “that accident,” I may have had my first good friend in my life.

Thinking about it... I'm a little happy.

Nana’s parents are both journalists, and she seems to want to be a person who “fights with a pen” like her parents - it means that she is already very good at Pokémon battles, and I am no match for her! Perhaps because of the influence of her family, she is very

I'm good at gathering information, and I learned a lot about things I didn't know before.

For example... what exactly is the "Glorious Society"?

According to Nana, the Kouki Society is a huge underground organization that is divided into seven groups, named after the seven colors of the rainbow. Above the seven groups, there is also an establishment called the "White Group" - a total of seven people, each with

He is the manager of Group 7. Mr. Noya, who occasionally teaches us, is the manager of Group Red.

The leader of the organization is actually the famous team founder and former chief investigator, Mr. Hoshiyu Baiye. This surprised me but also made me feel a little relieved.

If Mr. Bai Ye is the leader, this organization must not be an evil existence.

...Hey, did I murmur on the first day that the name of the Shining Society must have been thought up by the evil and anti-human boss of Chuuni?

Ahhhhh, I'm sorry, Mr. Bai Ye, I didn't mean it qaq!

Ahem, let's get back to the topic... The purpose of this Glory Academy is to train reserve troops for the Glory Society. After graduating from the academy and passing the assessment, you can put on the regular uniform of the Glory Society.

Although Nana-san refuses to tell me what the Shining Society is actually doing, I feel that the fog has been lifted a bit.

I have already promised Kazuhiko-senpai. I must take action before I have random thoughts. I must become stronger and stronger, and I definitely don’t want to betray senior’s trust.

So, let’s work hard for the next actual combat drill!

[March 15, 1000, 9 a.m., Konglu Red District, Guanghui Academy Training Ground]

Practical training is a compulsory course for students of Guanghui Academy. Once a week, the format is a doubles match between two people, and the opponent is——

The leader of the Red Group of the Shining Society, Noah Elvis.

"Yusa Shintaro-san and Yoshikawa Nana-san, right?" The girl with long flaxen hair smiled and nodded to the two of them.

"Yes, please give me more advice, Teacher Noya!" Nana said loudly.

Shintaro responded hurriedly and quietly raised his eyes to look at the still young teacher.

He seems to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, and his body is very thin. He doesn't look like a powerful little boss at all.

But I did hear Nana classmate say that since the establishment of the Guanghui Society, Teacher Noya has never lost in actual combat exercises. Well, you can’t be careless!

As the colorful flag in the hands of the referee was waved, the actual combat drill began.

When Noah fights with students, he always uses two natural birds. This is a fact well known to everyone in Radiance Academy. The students side sends Squirtle and Porygon, their ace Pokémon.

"Okay, come on! Porygon, Magic Space!"

Taking a preemptive strike, Nana commanded Porygon to deliver the first blow. A translucent wall surrounded the battlefield, and a strange stance was created in the center.

The magic space can make slow Pokémon move faster. Teacher Noya's two natural birds move very quickly, but ours is the opposite. This can seal that troublesome speed!

Nana laughed confidently. Next——

"Squirtle, spin at high speed!"

Shintaro's voice sounded.

Maybe it's because Kazuhiko's guidance has been effective, or maybe it's because this boy has really worked hard recently. Shintaro, who was originally low in strength, kept up with Nana's attacking pace. Squirtle's spinning figure became extremely fast.

, which made both students secretly happy.

Nana is already very good at Pokémon battles, and Shintaro has also achieved extraordinary performance. However, the battle situation did not develop as they imagined.

The light that foresaw the future blew Squirtle away, and the phantom light that followed inflicted another blow. If Squirtle hadn't launched protection in time, he would have left early under this round of attacks.

Noya was targeting Shintaro, and both of them saw this fact.

The skinny brown-haired boy's forehead was already covered with sweat. Noah didn't often speak out to give instructions. Despite this, the natural birds' unpredictable future predictions still pushed this inexperienced newcomer into a desperate situation.

"Looks like it's time to use "that"!"

Just as Shintaro was racking his brains, the voice coming from beside him stunned him.

"Hey, but..."

That tactic needs to start with Squirtle, and now Squirtle is being targeted in this way. If something goes wrong...

"It's okay, it's okay. It will be too late if you don't fight back." Nana said, tilting her head slightly and showing Shintaro a bright and firm smile, "I believe you."

"If you are a brave classmate, you will lose beautifully after trying your best!"

Meeting the girl's bright eyes, Shintaro was slightly stunned.

Not the cliche "I believe you will win", but... "I believe you will lose beautifully"?

"……puff."

The young man couldn't help but chuckle.

Really, when I was struck by such nonsensical words, my nervousness disappeared.

"Go ahead and show off the courage you had to save me at that time, brave fellow!"

"So... don't call me that." It's so embarrassing.

Shintaro took a deep breath and opened his eyes.

OK, take courage...

"Squirtle, here's your chance! Use foam!"

After receiving the predetermined code, the aqua turtle immediately cheered up. A large number of bubbles were spit out, filling the field of vision.

Shintaro's timing was very lucky. The magic space limited their speed, and it was too difficult to move and dodge, so they could only rely on teleportation. And one of the two natural birds had just used this skill - as we all know, in order to confirm

The surrounding environment is difficult to locate, and teleportation is difficult to use continuously for a moment. Under the large-scale coverage of the bubble, at least the natural bird on the right that cannot teleport will definitely be hit.

However, bubbles are not a powerful skill, and it is not a big problem to force one move.

When such thoughts crossed his mind, Noya suddenly found that his two natural birds were stunned.

what happened?

Noah, who never turned on "Causal Insight" unless necessary, didn't know what kind of future the natural bird had seen, so he immediately reminded the natural bird with words.

"Teleport to avoid."

The natural bird on the left heard the order and moved to the other side of the field. The chaotic bubbles hit the other natural bird, but something happened that Noya had not expected.

A hazy light flew out from the natural bird. The light directed at Squirtle was bounced off the barrier set up by Porygon and reflected directly to another natural bird.

Seeing the uncontrollable joyful smiles of the two students across from him, Noah immediately understood this somewhat clever tactic.

Noya's two natural bird characteristics are early rising and magic mirror. Shintaro launched this tactic at a time when the natural bird with magic mirror characteristics cannot move instantaneously.

What Squirtle does is actually very simple: mix yawn bubbles into bubble attacks.

For this tactic, Squirtle worked hard to practice this genetic skill until he was thoroughly familiar with it. A large number of yawning bubbles flew out together with the bubbles, and it was completely impossible to distinguish the true from the false with the naked eye.

If the natural bird on the left does not use teleportation to dodge, it will be hit by Yawn and gradually fall into a deep sleep; even if it dodges, the comrade's magic mirror properties will cause the hypnotic effect to rebound, and the polygon's skill magic reflection will reverse it again.

direction, it will still hit it in the end - for this reason, Porygon even used Lock in advance.

No matter which future it is, it is "hypnotized", and it is for this reason that the natural bird that relies on predicting future battles will be stunned on the spot.

"Okay!" Shintaro whispered excitedly.

Unprecedented confidence surged into his heart.

If this continues... maybe we can win!

As if responding to the trainer's mood, Squirtle's whole body on the field released a strong light.

That is the light of evolution.

It has been three months since he started traveling, but Shintaro's Squirtle has not evolved. It's not because of lack of strength, but because the sensitive Squirtle feels the trainer's confusion.

When the trainer is at a loss and can't find the target, the partner Pokémon will fall into the same situation. But now, everything is different.

After coming to Guanghui Academy, he met many people. Divi allowed Shintaro to face the unknown with optimism, Kazuhiko gave Shintaro a clear and firm belief in getting stronger, and Nana gave Shintaro a clear self-confidence for the first time.

If the trainer is no longer confused, the Pokémon will no longer be confused.

[March 15, 1000, 9:51 a.m., Konglu Red Zone, Guanghui Academy Training Ground]

"Ah - what a pity." Nana took back her Porygon, "The strategy was finally successful, and Squirtle evolved into Cammy Turtle. In the end, we still lost."

"Yes." Shintaro smiled and scratched his head.

"But! I'm very happy unexpectedly. It would be nice to have such an exciting battle one more time."

Noah, who had maintained his winning streak, walked down from the command seat with a smile, "Both of them did well. They are already quite good results for newcomers."

"Yes, thank you."

"Keep working hard from now on. I look forward to your battle next week."

"yes."

The brown-haired boy rarely raised his head to look directly at the girl who had defeated him, and spoke a line he had never said before with a smile and a loud voice.

"Next time, I won't lose so easily!"

Watching the two energetic young men go away, Noya laughed to herself.

We have finally started to move forward, Shintaro-kun.

Work harder. In the not-too-distant future, you "Red Braves" will eventually become one of the key forces driving the gears of destiny. Both I and the Shining Society need you.

Turning around, the wind in the sky made Noya's white clothes rustle, and her eyes had already been cast to the more distant horizon.

This time I finally saw it clearly.

Another equally huge "power" is about to surface.

One year later, Silver Academy...?
