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 of this year. Now I am living an ordinary study life in a not-so-ordinary academy.

There have been so many big events recently - the Miyuan bombing, the Three God Birds' attack on Red Lotus Island, everything has set off a storm within the alliance. Although it is far away from the event itself, I always feel like it is happening around me.

Same, it's hard to calm down.

However, there are a lot of really interesting "things around me". I made a new friend, my transfer student classmate Chinatsu Ito.

Although I didn’t enter school much earlier than Chinatsu-san, I can be considered a senior anyway. Since I am a senior, it is my responsibility to take good care of my juniors - these are all things Kazuhiko-senpai taught me.

[April 20, 1000, 7:25 in the morning, Konglu Red District, student dormitory]

"Oh, your craftsmanship is surprisingly good, Xiao Zhen."

"Hey, what do you mean by accident, Kazuhiko-senpai!" The brown-haired boy's cheeks bulged with anger, "I'm very confident in cooking!"

"Haha, sorry, sorry."

Kazuhiko smiled and drank all the milk in the cup, "I didn't expect to be able to eat the breakfast you prepared today."

"Of course. Today is an important day for you, Kazuhiko-senpai. How can I let you worry about breakfast?" Shintaro patted his chest and looked very reliable.

"Pfft, you make it sound like I'm getting married."

"Eh?...That's true..."

Yes, today is an important day for Kazuhiko-senpai.

Ah, of course it’s not marriage, right?

Just today, senior Kazuhiko is about to officially graduate from Guanghui Academy and take part in the upgrade assessment to the orange group.

Nana-san told me a while ago that Guanghui Academy is a three-year system just like the ordinary trainer training academy. The final practical test is not only a graduation exam, but also an assessment that determines whether students can be promoted to the orange group. If they successfully pass the assessment, they will

You can join the Orange Group of the Guild of Light - although I still don't know what the Orange Group does. Of course, you can leave at any time if you don't want to.

However, it is said that those who graduate from the academy will be told some secrets about the Shining Society. I have no way of knowing the content. I wonder if the decision of the vast majority of students to stay has something to do with the so-called "secrets".

Kazuhiko-senpai has long decided to stay in the Kouki Club, and he seems confident in the graduation test. However, I am still a little worried...

It’s not that I don’t believe in Kazuhiko-senpai’s strength!

Because...the opponent in the graduation test is the vicious orange team manager.

[April 20, 1000, 9:03 am, Konglu Red Zone, Guanghui Academy Training Ground]

The usually deserted training ground was already filled with people who came to watch the third-year graduation test, including many freshmen who were still relatively immature.

The graduation test is almost the highest-level battle that can be seen in the red zone. Whether it is to broaden your horizons, to prepare for your own graduation test in the future, or just to join in the fun - watching this week-long battle feast is a joy

Good decision.

The graduation test is allowed for all students to watch - as long as they successfully grab a seat. In order to prevent missing the test of senior Kazuhiko, Shintaro grabbed his three friends early and grabbed the front row seat.

"Hey, the next one to come on is Takeuchi Kazuhiko-senpai who ranks third in the practical class, right?"

"That's right. A senior student in his class told me that Takeuchi-senpai's actual scores have never been lower than the top five in his grade."

"Wow - it's really amazing. Your overall score must be excellent too, right?"

"……Well."

"how?"

"Ahem, actually, senior's cultural class score is a bit..."

Sitting in the field, listening to the people around him talking excitedly about Takeuchi Kazuhiko's glorious deeds - although there seemed to be some inappropriate things mixed in - Shintaro felt a small sense of pride in his heart.

"Chinatsu-chan, Chinatsu-chan, do you know? Our graduation test process is very simple. We compete with the manager of the Orange Team, Ms. Agatha, and that's it. As for whether you pass or not, it's up to Ms. Agatha to judge...

Oh, Ms. Agatha doesn’t need my introduction, right? She is very famous.”

"Well...I know her."

On the side, Nana has already begun to give her usual popular science knowledge to the transfer student Chinatsu. Although they have not been together for a long time, the two girls have become good friends.

Shintaro: It’s the same as taking care of your juniors, it’s the same as being your deskmate...it’s obviously me first qaq!

Clearing his throat, the brown-haired boy turned his attention back to the battlefield.

Standing on the ring leader's seat, the gray-haired old man is the manager of the Orange Group of the Guild of Light, Agatha Carroll. She is unsmiling and treats her subordinates extremely harshly. When she is disobeyed, she will even resort to violent means to solve problems. Because

Her scolding style was so terrifying that the Orange Group members even gave her the nickname "Ghost Granny".

"But... isn't this Ms. Agatha the former chief breeder of the alliance?" Shintaro asked weakly.

"Before becoming a breeder, Ms. Agatha was a super violent attacker." Nana shook the ballpoint pen in her hand.

"And it's still super violent now." Feng Jie answered with a smile.

Looking at the three ferocious dragons next to Agatha, Shintaro suddenly trembled and looked across from Agatha with even more worry.

Standing on the challenger's seat are two people.

The red-haired boy was talking to his Boss Cordora, with a confident smile on his face. Standing next to Kazuhiko was a black-haired girl wearing glasses.

The girl tied up her neatly low ponytail and quietly looked through the notebook in her hand, her expression looking very calm.

Shintaro knew this girl wearing glasses.

Her name is Hitoko Inoue, she is 14 years old like Kazuhiko, and her ace Pokémon is Happy Egg. According to Kazuhiko, Hitoko was his childhood sweetheart who grew up with him, and she also entered the Glorious Academy in the same year.

As we all know, students can freely form teams in the graduation test. No matter how many people challenge it together, Agatha will only use one Pokémon to fight.

——There is nothing to be thankful for. Since the establishment of Glorious Academy until now, the only team that can defeat Agatha is just one team.

The whistle sounded and the battle began.

The three evil dragons seized the opportunity with swift and fierce movements. Three ferocious mouths opened, and the three attacks were directed at the Boss Cordora on the opposite side.

Shintaro had already grabbed the chair nervously, his eyes fixed on Kazuhiko. However, he was not the one who reacted first.

Tongzi calmly gave an order to the happy egg. The light green light mist spread, completely covering the bodies of himself and Boss Cordora. And Boss Cordora's head flashed with light, and the iron head moved, and the front

Withstood the fast attack of three evil dragons.

"It's aromatherapy. Have you considered that the triple attack may cause an abnormal state?" Feng Jie's eyes lit up, "The trainer's judgment is so quick."

Boss Cordora has bravely rushed to the front line. In order to deal with Agatha's three evil dragons, it has practiced fighting moves under the guidance of its trainer. It has become very proficient in splitting bricks, infuriating bombs and other moves. In addition,

Thanks to its natural iron-wall-like defense, it can even withstand several attacks from three evil dragons.

On the other hand, Happy Egg's healing wave is skillful and timely, always healing the scars on Boss Cordora's body at the most appropriate time. It has plenty of physical strength and is agile enough to move without the need for Boss Cordora.

With good care, he can survive the attack of three evil dragons.

The attacks of the three evil dragons were as fierce as ever. The two students were clearly suppressed and could only barely survive. However, they did not show any signs of panic - their pupils were always so calm and composed, and the timing of issuing orders did not last a second.

Bad. And Kazuhiko's eyes were bright and he even had a bit of a smile on his face.

Everyone can see that the two of them have a super tacit understanding, so they can support Agatha for a long time without losing. One has solid defense, the other has healing ability, and the two Pokémon work together to evolve the battle.

It becomes a tug of war.

Do you want to prolong the battle as long as possible to gain Ms. Agatha's approval? Many students watching the battle had this idea in their minds.

"I understand!" Nana suddenly clapped her hands, startling Chinatsu, "They are not just fighting a protracted war. We all know that Ms. Agatha is good at fast-paced attacks, but now she is being

The fighting style of the two seniors slowed down the pace!"

Shintaro opened his eyes in surprise.

He saw where Kazuhiko's flying spirit came from——

This great senior never had the idea of ​​stalling for time. He went for "winning".

In the middle of the field, Agatha, dressed in a cool combat uniform, snorted with disdain.

"I'm so annoyed by the grinding." The old man frowned, "The beating was not smooth at all. It seems that without Naruya, you are just two useless people."

"Teacher Agatha, you are still so ruthless." Kazuhiko scratched the back of his head and chuckled.

"Don't call me teacher!"

Shintaro, who was watching the battle, naturally heard their conversation and immediately shook his head in confusion, "Naruya...?"

"Hmph, there's something you don't know about, right?" Nana, who had already pricked up her ears, immediately took over the conversation and proudly clapped her palms with her notepad, "Let me, a prepared reporter who knows everything, come to you.

Let’s clear up the confusion!”

Seeing that even the quiet Chinatsu was looking at her intently, the orange-haired girl cleared her throat with satisfaction, "The full name of the person Ms. Agatha mentioned just now is 'Kamijo Naruya', and it is said that he is senior Kazuhiko Takeuchi at Kouki Academy.

The biggest enemy and fierce rival. The relationship between the two of them was very bad at first, but it seemed to get better after they entered third grade."

"Hey, there is such a thing." Shintaro sighed, "But I have never heard of this name."

"Because Kamijou Naruya-senpai is not on the land now." Nana explained, "He applied to take the graduation test in advance half a year ago and passed it with excellent results. If Takeuchi Kazuhiko-senpai is a defender,

If Inoue Hitomi-senpai is the team doctor, then Kamijou Naruya-senpai is the main attacker of the violent faction."

"Violent, do you mean the style is somewhat similar to Ms. Agatha?" Fusuke couldn't help laughing.

"Yes, it looks very similar!" Nana nodded repeatedly, "I recommend that you watch the video of Kamijou-senpai's graduation test! The power of Reib's thunderous move is still unforgettable to me -"

Seeing that everyone was looking fascinated, Nana suddenly changed the subject, "However, after Kamijou-senpai comes back, it's better for us not to get close to him. That senior has a particularly bad temper. When he gets angry, he even beats up Kazuhiko-senpai.

And we won the fight.”

"..."

Still, still won...

Everyone immediately shuddered.

"Stay away from him, Chinatsu-chan." Nana turned her head and emphasized. The girl with yellow curly hair nodded violently, with a bit of shock in her eyes, obviously understanding this sentence clearly.

Note it down.

The battle continued. The long slow pace made Agatha more and more impatient, and she finally ordered the three evil dragons to take a cruel blow. When the wave of evil halo blew up Boss Cordora, everyone screamed.

.

Even a heavy body like Boscodora can be blown away. How terrifying is the attack power of the three evil dragons?

The cruel instigator showed no mercy to the young students. Its fangs were surrounded by dark light and it rushed towards the happy egg.

Inoue Hitomi's blue eyes flashed behind her lenses.

"gravity."

Happy Egg exploded with all his strength, integrating all the strongest energy into the gravity of this move. The three evil dragons obviously did not expect Happy Egg's move, and they suddenly fell to the ground unprepared.

The audience exclaimed again - but not because of the landing of the three evil dragons.

Everyone saw that Boscodora's feet in the air sprayed out silver-gray energy beams backwards.

No one has ever seen such a weird use of a cannon. And this blow is not for attack, but to create recoil in the air to move.

The gravity move made Boss Cordora fall faster. Its whole body began to emit dazzling silver light, wrapping its heavy body and smashing into the three evil dragons that could not get up in time.

"Heavy Crash!" Some students have already shouted the name of this move.

Heavy Crash is a move in which the heavier one is than the opponent, the more powerful it is. The standard weight of Boss Cordora, who has metal armor, is a full two hundred kilograms heavier than the three evil dragons - the meteorite-like body is smashed down, and the smoke and dust are violently

There was a surge of excitement, mixed with the painful cries of the three evil dragons, making all the students silent for a moment.

Kazuhiko knows very well that he is the defender and Hitomi is the team doctor. Without Naruya as the main attacker, their team lacks output capability.

How to solve this problem?

Takeuchi Kazuhiko and Inoue Hitoko personally handed in this simple but wonderful answer sheet.

The answer is to play to your strengths.

For Boscodora, its weight is its natural advantage. Even though it is better at defense than attack, facing this blow with the help of its heavy body, even Kamijou Ming was at the scene, and it was absolutely unstoppable.

I don't dare to swear that my attack power must be stronger.

...No, that guy had definitely begun to mock me as a tickling attack.

The sarcastic expression of the purple-haired boy appeared in Kazuhiko's mind at an inappropriate time.

The smoke and dust cleared. The three evil dragons stood up unsteadily. The red and swollen scars on their backs made many onlookers take a breath of air.

The red-haired boy excitedly waved his fist, "Well done, Boscodora! Hehe, what do you think, Aga...Sha...teacher..."

His words were stuck in mid-sentence, and even the expression of his pupils, which had always been calm and calm, became stiff.

They saw Agatha Carroll, known as the "Granny", smiling.

"Well done, boys. Here's my reward."

she said.

"……not good!"

Kazuhiko only had time to shout out such a sentence, and the sound that reached his ears was filled with violent roaring.

On this day, everyone watched in confusion as the three evil dragons spit out tens of thousands of destructive rays of light and smashed through the entire battle field.

"Ms. Agatha's 'Ghost Smile' is indeed well-deserved..." Nana, whose face was covered in dirt and dust, had to close her mouth and could only express these thoughts in her heart.

Due to the severe damage to the venue, the graduation test was forced to be suspended. Although staff have begun emergency repairs to the venue, the test may not resume until tomorrow.

"Ms. Agatha is really strong." Fousuke sighed as he followed the crowd of people leaving the venue, "They are not at the same level as us at all."

"But..." Chinatsu rarely took the initiative to answer a sentence. Seeing that the three of them looked at her in surprise, she quickly lowered her head in embarrassment, "Takeuchi-senpai and the others are also very powerful."

"That's right, that's right." Nana nodded in agreement, "To be able to put together those three evil dragons, they are worthy of being the legendary team of our academy!"

The brown-haired boy did not join in the conversation, but eagerly turned his attention to Kazuhiko who was talking to Agatha.

I wonder what happened to Kazuhiko-senpai's test results... He performed so well, he must have passed it, right?

As if he felt Shintaro's thoughts, Kazuhiko suddenly raised his head and his eyes met Shintaro's.

Then, the red-haired boy raised his arms, extended his thumb, and showed a confident and bright smile to Shintaro.

Shintaro was stunned for a few seconds, and his clear brown eyes were immediately filled with joy.

Very good!

The young man spun around in circles excitedly, then hurriedly looked back, showing the same happy smile to his beloved senior.

As if infected by Kazuhiko's strong self-confidence, the ten-year-old boy rarely felt that his body was full of strength.

Can I...become as powerful as Kazuhiko-senpai?

Well, it must be possible!

Because seniors also said so!

Supported by unprecedented confidence, the young man nodded to himself and then happily ran towards his three friends.

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

The minds of young people are easily shaken. They may easily gain self-confidence because of the brilliance of the people around them, but this self-confidence is not strong, or even shaky, and can be easily destroyed by external forces.

At this time, the gray dog ​​that was about to become the "Destroyer of Confidence" was already on its way to glory step by step.
