Pokemon Dawn

Nibi City [Japanese: ニビシティ, nibi_city, English: pewter_city] is the second big city Xiaoye has ever seen. Although it is similar in area to Joban City, it gives travelers a completely different feeling - the field of vision is full of thick gray,

If the tone of Joban City is vitality and activity, then Nibi City is calm and solid.

Many towns in the Kanto region are named after colors, and the name Nibi City comes from this. "Nibi color" is a very old term, which means a dull and dull color, which is the dark gray of the rocks.

A long time ago, Nibi City was well-known as a city that produced beautiful marble, and was even called "Dali City" for a time. However, as the marble was gradually excavated, this name was no longer used; today's Nibi City

It only produces ordinary rocks of "Nibi color".

Fortunately, the Nibi Gym and the recently built Museum of Ancient Biological Sciences - it is said that the researchers in the museum seem to have successfully developed a fossil resurrection machine - have added a lot of selling points to the city and attracted a considerable number of trainers.

and ancient biology enthusiasts have kept this once prosperous gray city from becoming too deserted.

Entering Nibi City, the first stop is naturally the Pokémon Center. Xiaoye used the ID card on the Pokémon Encyclopedia to check in for free, and handed over the three Pokémon that were exhausted after a week of hard training to Ms. Joy for treatment.

Unsurprisingly, Miss Joy from Nibi City looks exactly the same as the female doctor from Joban City, and in this world, this is not a rare thing. The women of the "Joy" family who hold medical responsibilities in the Pokémon League are basically

They all have very similar faces, and so do the Junshas in the police station.

One has to marvel at the wonder of genetics.

[[[cp|w:210|h:140|a:c|u:file2./chapters/20162/2/1737769635900499316357856904757.jpg]]] It was already approaching evening when we arrived in Nibi City, and the afterglow of the setting sun was deep.

The gray roof is coated with a layer of warm color. At this time, the Nibi Gym has long been closed, and the challenge will have to wait until tomorrow morning.

Just enough to give the three Pokémon a good night's rest.

After depositing the Pokémon, Xiaoye followed the electronic map’s guidance and went to Nibi Gym [Japanese: ニビジム, nibi_gym, English: pewter_gym] to explore the way. As a landmark building in this city, Nibi Gym is unexpectedly dilapidated.

——The old walls look crumbling, the patterns on the walls are mottled, and the paint has lost its original color under the erosion of hundreds of years of wind and rain.

Only the huge signboard made of marble is impressive enough, with a line of large characters engraved in flying dragons and phoenixes: 100 years of establishment, Nibi City Gymnasium.

As expected, the gym had closed as early as five o'clock in the afternoon. The small shop selling drinks at the entrance was still open. After Xiaoye bought a bottle of soda, the old man looking after the store told Xiaoye something about Nibi Gym.

information.

It is said that this gym has just changed its owner a few days ago. After the new gym owner completed the handover procedures, today is the first day he took office. The attribute of the gym is still rock, but the Pokémon and fighting skills used by the new gym owner

Nothing is known about the style, etc.; the only known information is the name of the new owner, Wu Neng.

Xiaoye was not unfamiliar with this name - the father of Xiao Gang, the former Nibi Gym leader. Wu Neng became the current gym leader, which meant that Xiao Gang was already traveling with Xiao Zhi.

Sure enough, after staying in the Viridian Forest for a week, the schedule was already much slower than Xiaozhi. However, in order to gradually improve the strength of his friends, this time loss is worth it.

I arrived in Nibi City on the evening of January 7th. Probably none of the new trainers in Zhenxin Town in recent years would be slower than me.

The night in Nibi City is very comfortable. The light of the street lamp illuminates the cold gray asphalt road. There are people chatting and walking on the street. It is not noisy and not deserted.

Maybe this is a city suitable for the elderly.

Since there was an important gym battle tomorrow, Xiaoye did not appreciate the night view of Nibi City too carefully and returned to the Pokémon Center early to rest.

After a good night's sleep, when the soothing morning song from the Pokémon Center played, the faint morning light filtered into the room through the curtains.

"Ah woo hoo!" The orange dragon jumped out of the Pokmon ball full of energy and greeted Xiao Ye. For Charmander who was used to sleeping with Xiao Ye at night, this night in the medical device was quite a bit strange.

Fresh.

Taking three Pokmon Balls with her, Xiaoye came to the gym door again in the morning sunshine. The iron lock on the door had been removed, and the room was silent and without any movement. There must have been no challengers before Xiaoye.

Xiao Ye stepped forward and knocked on the door. No one responded, but the ground beneath her feet shook slightly. With a loud noise, the door of the gym opened with a bang - it was obviously a wooden door, but the movement was as exaggerated as a stone door.

Maybe the gym needs to create such a serious and intimidating atmosphere?

Stepping into the gym, the lights on the ceiling lit up one after another along with Xiaoye's steps, showing Xiaoye a panoramic view of the interior of the gym when she entered it for the first time.

Although the gym looks a bit dilapidated on the outside, it is quite spacious inside and is not as showy as a large gym. The floor is replaced by sand and many huge protruding rocks. The entire venue is uneven. If the Pokémon is not dexterous enough, say

You might fall down after taking a few steps.

To be honest, this is not a suitable place for fighting. But for gym battles, overcoming unfavorable venue factors is also part of the test given by the gym owner.

On the right side of the challenger's seat was a battle recorder that was half a person tall. Xiaoye took out the Pokémon illustrated book and put it into the groove of the recorder.

Then, the battle recorder screen lit up, showing Xiaoye's trainer license information.

In all officially certified competitions, the identity of the opponent needs to be verified on the battle recorder before the game, and the gym battle is no exception. After the battle, it needs to be scanned again to register the match results into the file - it is said that the battle record is used

The battles recorded by the device will be used as the basis for ranking in the "World Trainer Ranking".

On the largest rock, a middle-aged man in combat uniform sat quietly. He had thick eyebrows and narrow eyes, a serious expression, and a very strong body. He suddenly looked like a professional boxer.

It doesn’t look like a loser at all in the anime.

This is not surprising. How can a person who has been certified as the official gym leader of the alliance be an ordinary person?

Wu Neng stood up, and his sonorous voice echoed in the empty building, "Challenger, welcome to the Nibi Gym. I am the gym leader Wu Neng."

"Hello." Xiaoye bowed to the middle-aged man on the rock, "I am Xiaoye from Zhenxin Town. Please join me in the Gym Challenge."

After saying the routine opening lines, Wu Neng looked at the challenger information displayed on the battle recorder at hand, then narrowed his eyes and looked at the challenger carefully. He looked ordinary, and the Charmander following him also looked ordinary.

; However, the "Zhenxin Town" mentioned in his self-introduction made Wu Neng a little concerned.

He comes from Zhenxin Town, which means... he is the same hometown of that boy.

"You are still a new trainer, right?" Wu Neng glanced at the screen of the battle recorder. The competition history of Xiaoye's trainer license clearly showed that the number of games experienced was 0.

"Yes." Xiaoye nodded.

"Then let me warn you in advance." Wu Neng looked serious, and his voice echoed between the rocks, seeming to have a bit of toughness, "Gym battles and petty fights on the roadside are not on the same level.

Fight. If you want to use that fire-type Charmander to challenge, I suggest you be mentally prepared for a hard fight."

Wu Neng's words were very tactful, but in fact he was not optimistic about this newcomer. The possibility of a trainer who had only debuted for a week using a Pokémon with unfavorable attributes to win a gym battle was too low.

"Thank you for the reminder." Xiaoye still replied politely, "I will fight with caution."

Not shaken at all? Wu Neng looked at Xiaoye's expressionless face and wasn't too surprised.

Stubbornness has always been a common characteristic of most young people.

"Then, let me explain the rules first." Wu Neng jumped off the top of the rock with a backflip and landed on the trainer's station opposite. "There are only two Pokémon that can be used. Only the challenger can change Pokémon.

right."

After the words fell, the headlights on both sides of the battle field turned on, casting strong light into the field. On the other side, a young man wearing a referee uniform was already in place. It seemed that he should be a professional sent by the Pokémon Alliance to the gym.

.

"Do you have any questions?" Wu Neng asked one more question, probably to take care of the newcomer.

"No." Xiaoye answered neatly.

"Okay." Wu Neng nodded, "Then, the gym challenge officially begins! My vanguard is this guy!"

The red and white balls flew into the air with Wu Neng's throwing action.

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

small theater:

Accompanied by a huge sound, the door of the gym opened with a bang - it was obviously a wooden door, but the movement was as exaggerated as a stone door. Perhaps the gym needed to create such a serious and intimidating atmosphere?

Wu Neng (embarrassed): Ahem, it’s actually because the door shaft is in disrepair...
