Pokemon Dawn

Sentai, this is a term that has never been mentioned in the original animation, but is a household name in this world.

The concept of "team" was proposed by the alliance's chief investigator more than 20 years ago. The so-called team refers to a small team composed of ten to twenty people. Each team member is proficient in one or more

A variety of combat methods, such as storming, support, reconnaissance, and essential medical treatment. Different from conventional squads, this form of team has comprehensive capabilities and strong mobility. In addition, most of the people who joined the team at that time were elite personnel, and the overall strength

and quite powerful.

Normally, the military divides its personnel into auxiliary corps, stormtroopers or medical corps according to different functions, and mobilizes various troops to cooperate with the commander's instructions. However, the military team does the opposite, integrating people from various functions into

In the same team - it can be said that the team is a miniature army that has shrunk.

In large-scale operations, teams can often play a completely different role from ordinary armies. Ever since the former chief investigator Byakuya Hoshiyu led the first team he formed, "Cross Star [Japanese: クロス_スター, English:

cross_star]", after destroying one of the main divisions of Team Rocket with only ten people, the concept of a team began to spread widely, and teams of various sizes modeled after Cross Star sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

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

You must have heard that the Pokémon League has received dozens of applications to form teams in the past month. If I was still worried about this phenomenon half a year ago, now I can look at it from the most optimistic perspective.

These have been applied for.

In August last year, the first team "Cross Star" led by the young chief investigator destroyed the important branch of Team Rocket in Rainbow City in the Kanto region. This is a fact that goes against the calculations of our strategists. But since

If it is a fact, we must accept it and make use of it - no matter how counterintuitive its existence is.

As early as in the basic course of pes, we have learned that the best number of elite soldiers is five people. But for a team of more than ten elite soldiers, it is undoubtedly difficult to form the same perfect coordination as ordinary soldiers.

God, anyone who has served as a commander will understand this deeply. But once this alliance is formed, the power it unleashes is obvious to all. If Cross Star’s performance is not accidental, there will surely be new successes in the future.

case; we will continue to explore this and form a team to try to replicate the miracle of the Cross Star.

Perhaps I, and everyone here, are witnessing the coming of a new era that belongs to the alliance and the team.

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

Of course, it is not easy for a complex team like the Sentai to exert its combat effectiveness. Most people's blind imitation ends in failure. There are also a few successful ones who have outstanding performance in fighting evil organizations and are still active around the world.

.For example, the Iron-Blooded Blades, a team directly under the Pokémon League's military, or what is written on the billboard in front of you, Blue Dragon's Fang.

As one of the most famous elite teams, most of the members of Canglong Fang basically possess the strength of the king level. It is no wonder that the passers-by onlookers are so excited, a battle of the king level is rare, even if it is just an exhibition match.

The team will use pseudonyms when making public appearances, and use masks or sunglasses to cover their faces to prevent information from being leaked - after all, every powerful team has countless enemies, and exposing their true identity will cause too much trouble. Huge LED

There are only a few blurry black shadows printed behind the text on the poster.

Maybe the team’s mystery is one of the reasons why people are so enthusiastic about it?

Xiaoye stepped forward and looked at the date on the billboard: January 8th. In other words, one week later, this well-known team will come to this city of Viridian.

After thinking about it, Xiaoye decisively decided to ignore the news. Waiting for a week would be a waste of time. Seven days was enough time to cross the Viridian Forest and challenge the Nibi Gym.

The king-level master is too far away from her, who is still a newcomer. It is better to continue traveling at her own pace. As for the exhibition match, it is not a bad idea to watch it live on TV in a week.

"Let's go, Charmander." Xiaoye called Charmander who was staring at the huge billboard and walked towards the exit of Joban City.

Perhaps because the news about the arrival of the Azure Fang Team was so exciting, the entire City of Joban was ignited. Many trainers came from all over the country after hearing the news. The paths leading to the Joban Forest also became unusually busy.

, but most people were rushing towards the city center, and there were only a few pedestrians going in the same direction as Xiaoye.

"Hurry up, hurry up, the bulletin board is right in front!" A young man wearing a baseball cap excitedly pulled his companions to run, as if the bulletin would disappear if he went late. And a young trainer who was doing the same thing was running along this road.

Not uncommon on the trails.

Teenagers are an age group that is full of enthusiasm and worships the strong. It is normal to find it difficult to calm down when faced with the news that a king-level master is coming.

At the edge of Viridian Forest, four young men walked out of the forest side by side, looking at the bustling city and couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Hey, there are so many people. It was very quiet when we came here before." The man who was speaking was as slender as a young man. He shook his red hair in confusion and looked at the people on the street.

"Don't you need to say that? It's that thing's fault." The young man with short black hair pointed expressionlessly at the huge billboard in the distance and the growing crowd.

Normally, Joban City would not be so noisy. The current market-like scene is entirely due to the reputation of Blue Dragon Fang.

The young man in military uniform walking on the far left sighed and complained helplessly, "So we came a week in advance just to see the huge crowds of people? It's really exciting."

"Don't say that, it's a rare opportunity to get together." A slight smile appeared on the speaker's handsome face, and his silver hair like moonlight fluttered with the breeze, "Just treat it as a vacation and enjoy it."

Charmander, who was following Xiao Ye, looked up at the four people coming towards him, blinked, and continued to look left and right curiously.

"When you enter the forest, you have to prepare for battle. Is that okay?"

"Ahhhh!"

The purple-haired girl smiled and talked to Charmander while walking against the flow of people, passing by four people walking side by side.

Seven days later, there will be a grand exhibition match here. But this is no longer Xiaoye's concern.

Walking straight along the path out of the city, the lush jungle soon appeared in view. Viridian Forest [Japanese: トキワのもり, tokiwa_no_mori, English: viridian_forest], a vast forest located between Joban City and Nibi City

, a variety of trees are densely packed, forming a natural maze. The leafy crown of the tree is difficult to transmit light, and the entire forest seems a bit dim, making it difficult to discern the direction.

However, modern people have auxiliary tools such as electronic maps. As long as their sense of direction is not hopelessly poor, they will not get lost in the forest.

There are many insect-type and flying-type Pokémon in Viridian Forest. For example, a large swarm of sting wasps that attacked Xiaozhi appeared in the animation. Therefore, Xiaoye also bought a large amount of antidotes and anesthetics for emergencies.

Most Pokémon in the forest are not very dangerous. As long as they don't easily provoke a large group of wild Pokémon like Ash, their lives are basically not in danger.

"Uh-huh?" Charmander curiously looked at the green caterpillar lying on the branch.

The area of ​​Joban Forest is much larger than the forest between Zhenshin Town and Joban City, and the types of Pokémon are also richer - especially various bugs. If you are a girl who is afraid of bugs, such as Xiaoxia, she will probably

I can't wait to escape from this dark forest immediately.

Xiaoye and Charmander headed all the way to the depths of Viridian Forest. On the way, they met the samurai boy who used insect Pokémon in the animation. However, in front of the fire Charmander, the insect Pokémon seemed too fragile and very fragile.

Soon they were defeated one after another.

According to the warrior boy, the trainers who use Bulbasaur and Squirtle passed by here yesterday. It can be seen that Xiaomao and Xiaoyun are still moving as fast as ever.

Presumably Xiaozhi will reach here with Xiaoxia soon.

If you don't get lost.

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

Small theater:

After thinking about it, Xiaoye decisively decided to ignore the news. Waiting for a week would be a waste of time.

Ye: (frustrated) Being ignored so completely...

Dianthus: (dissatisfied) Hey, are we really the former protagonist group? Are you a liar?
