Kuchiba City [Japanese: クチバシティ, kuchiba_city, English: vermilion_city] is a famous military port city.

The word "military port" often gives people a feeling of being old-fashioned and depressing, but Kuye City is not like that. Fashion, technology, and full of multicultural exchanges are the impression of Kuye City.

The word "dead leaves" means the color of dead leaves, which refers to the color of decaying autumn leaves that wither in autumn. This may not sound good, but in fact it is a very clear color - orange with a hint of red.

.

This city was built more than 200 years ago around 740 in the Elven Calendar as a dedicated port for the Alliance Navy. Its geographical location, adjacent to the Kawan Strait to the north, is indeed an ideal location for a military port.

At that time, the light orange-red color of fallen leaves was the most popular and elegant color in China. At that time, there were many fashionable people in the navy who were following the trend, so they did not use the clichéd navy blue as the city's key color, but chose the popular "dry" color.

Leaf color".

Although today's Kuye City still uses the harbor as its symbol, it is quite different from what it was when it was first built. The reason for this is——

In the ninth century of the Elven Calendar, a war broke out that nearly affected the whole world. The main warring parties were the Pokémon Alliance, the most powerful country at the time, and the "Guardian Alliance", an alliance political system composed of many countries. In the Pokémon Alliance

When it fell into disadvantage, Kuye City was forcibly occupied by foreign countries, and a large number of foreign warships and soldiers poured into the city.

Of course, it didn't take long for the Pokémon Alliance to regain its sovereignty in Dead Leaf City in various ways; the troops who occupied Dead Leaf City left, and the Guardian Alliance also announced its disintegration, and now it has almost become a part of the Pokémon Alliance. However,

, Kuye City has spent decades under the rule of foreigners. Many foreigners have stayed here and left their traces in every corner of the city.

Today's Kuye City has become a bridge connecting overseas cultures. There are many shops for foreigners in the city, and there are many buildings with obvious exotic styles. The fresh breath from foreign countries fills every corner of the city.

"How do you feel, boy! Do you feel like you're falling in love with this coooooool city a little bit?" The blond middle-aged man in a friendly shop uniform chattered enthusiastically, placing large and small jars on the counter, "Done.

Yes! Here are the pokemon_foods you want!"

"Thank you for the introduction." Xiao Ye nodded and put food cans of different types into her backpack.

The clerk of this friendly store is a very talkative person. After hearing that Xiaoye was a traveling trainer, he already briefly described the history of the city in just a few minutes while rummaging through the goods.

once.

Xiaoye's knowledge of the history of this world was very poor, but she was happy to listen to this middle-aged clerk speaking in a strange foreign accent.

However, this clerk is actually a native of Qianhong City in the Kanto region, and he seems to be imitating a foreigner's accent just because this way of speaking is very "coooooool".

This language was called "English" in its previous life, but is called "Spanish" in this world. It was once a common language on the mainland across the sea in the Unova region and the Carlos region. Now the residents of Unova and Carlos have long been accustomed to using it.

The official language of the Pokémon League, and among other small countries, Spanish is the most widely used common language.

Simple basic use of Spanish is a compulsory course in compulsory education, and Xiaoye learned relevant knowledge when she was in Zhenxin Town. Fortunately, Xiaoye did not skip classes casually - otherwise, with her basically zero English level in her previous life, it would not be possible.

Can I communicate normally with this clerk?

"glad_i_could_help! My biggest hobby is to introduce the charm of this city to young boys_and_girls!" the middle-aged clerk laughed heartily.

After putting away the Pokémon food, Xiaoye thought for a moment and looked at the middle-aged clerk, "Sir, do you know where the most bars are in Kuye City?"

"coooooool!!" The blond middle-aged clerk shouted incomprehensibly, and even turned around twice, "The first thing I did when I came to this city was to inquire about the bar, coooooool! I guarantee this with my character.

, the bar in Kuye City is also well-deserved No. 1 in the entire Kanto region!”

Digging through the debris, he found a map of Kuye City. The middle-aged clerk excitedly laid the map on the counter, "Boy, look, this is the main road of Electric Street, and this is South Electric Street." The bones were thick.

He tapped his fingers heavily at the end of Electric South Street, "Here! This is the most famous bar_street in this dead leaf city!"

Xiaoye carefully memorized the location pointed by the middle-aged clerk and nodded, "I understand, thank you."

Putting away the map, the middle-aged clerk suddenly lowered his voice and mysteriously motioned for Xiaoye to come closer, "I suggest you wait until 12 o'clock in the evening to go there. There will be an unexpected surprise! Surprise! The silver_bullet with the red sign is a good choice. There

The bar girl——"

Seeing the subtle smile on the middle-aged clerk's face, Xiao Ye immediately understood what the so-called "unexpected surprise" meant and felt a little embarrassed.

"Uh, that's it..."

"Hahahahahaha! How can young people not play wildly!" The middle-aged clerk laughed and threw a journey burger to Xiaoye, "Here you go, this is a gift!"

"Thank you. Then I'll take my leave."

"see_you,cool_boy!"

Xiaoye silently wiped her sweat as she walked out the door with the free burger in her arms.

Actually... I'm not a boy, Mr. Clerk.

"Hey, Master, that person's tone of voice is a bit like Qiu, the electric monster." Piqiu on his shoulder shook his ears, "Also, what's the surprise?"

"I don't know!" Xiaoye's tone was decisive.

"Eh? Really Qiu? I really want to know Qiu."

"real!"

"...Master, your expression is so strange."

"That's your illusion."

After leaving the friendly store, Xiaoye certainly did not go straight to the so-called "surprise" Silver Bullet Bar - she still went to the Pokémon Center as usual and gave her Pokémon to Ms. Joy for treatment.

This clerk is really... heroic.

Shaking her head helplessly, Xiaoye sat by the bed in the single dormitory and took out a black hard-covered notepad.

This is exactly the notebook that belongs to Taki. When they were in Cerulean City, it was the clues from this notebook that Xiaoye and Xiaojie came into contact with Team Rocket's action plan in the Sunlight Forest; after the battle, the police station inspected the notebook and determined

After finding "no useful clues", he returned it to Xiaoye.

Although Xiaoye felt that the police probably couldn't understand the graffiti on the notepad.

After getting used to seeing the scrawled words on the notepad, Xiaoye gradually found the pattern and was able to barely recognize some simple contents. For Xiaoye, who did not have a mobile phone or a book, looking through this notepad was a form of entertainment during the journey.

; And while she was playing the deciphering game with nothing to do, Xiaoye saw some interesting information.

On the seventh to last page of the notepad, there is writing like this.

クチバシティ,みかんきちバー,白カラス(Kuye City, Orange Base Bar, White Crow).

Xiaoye: (Takes out notepad) It’s time to have some free time, let’s continue playing the mysterious word deciphering game.
