Trainers, prepare to fight!

Su Wen asked again: "Besides mentioning the red moon, did Beishang mention anything else?"

"Probably not..." After thinking for a while, Nan Xia suddenly remembered something, "By the way, on the first day he appeared, he also mentioned that 'everyone was restless', and that was the only time he mentioned it. , I never mentioned it again, so I didn’t think about it for a while.”

Su Wen's frown deepened: "Does everyone refer to the people who are with him, or does it refer to... Pokémon? Or does it include people and Pokémon?"

Nanxia failed to give Su Wen the answer he wanted: "I don't know. The eldest brother didn't say it clearly, and there was no context to elaborate on when he said this. He just said, 'The red moon makes everyone restless. '."

Su Wen asked some more details about the day Beishang appeared, such as whether the clothes he was wearing were intact and whether he was injured.

According to Nan Xia, the clothes Beishang was wearing on the day he appeared were torn in many places, but there were no external injuries. The signs of damage were wear and tear, not signs of an attack.But he didn't know whether Beishang had suffered a mental attack.

"So have you ever seen a red moon yourself?"

Nan Xia was slightly startled by Su Wen's sudden change of topic, but he still followed Su Wen's question and thought about it carefully.

"No... Oh, I should have seen it once, more than ten years ago. The moon that day only had a crescent, but the whole moon showed a deep red color. According to the alliance's announcement, it was a relatively rare natural phenomenon. Phenomenon."

The crescent moon is crimson, which does not conform to Su Wen's understanding of the red moon. The red moon should be a bright red full moon.

But maybe this is the Red Moon effect after the alliance blocks it?

"In addition to the moon changing color, did anything special happen that day? For example, a Pokémon acted strangely or something like that."

Nan Xia looked troubled: "It's been too long and I can't remember clearly, but it seems like there isn't."

After sorting out the information for a while, Su Wen asked again: "Let's go back to Beishang's matter. It is said that the alliance sent people to express condolences to Beishang?"

Nanxia nodded: "The person here is Wanlong, the Four Heavenly Kings. Because they have both cultivated crystal lanterns and fire spirits, they have communicated in this regard, and they have some friendship with each other. Wanlong also helped find his eldest brother when he disappeared, so the alliance sent She came to express condolences.”

"Just condolences?"

"The alliance also wants to know where my eldest brother went during his disappearance, but he really doesn't remember it."

Things became more complicated now, Su Wen's forehead was completely twisted into a twist.It would be difficult to sort out this information for a while, so Su Wen put it down for the time being and said to Nan Xia.

"I haven't told you why Beishang is like this. Do you know that Pokémon has a characteristic called oppression?"

Nanxia, ​​who also has a place in the Hezhong battle world, is naturally no stranger to this feature: "I know, the common Pokémon in Hezhong has this feature."

Su Wen continued: "In fact, the characteristic of pressure is to rely on strong momentum to slow down the flow of the opponent's life energy, so that the opponent has to spend more energy when he wants to make a move. The slowing effect will change according to the difference in the life energy levels of the two parties. Big and getting bigger.

To put it simply, a level 30 active oppression of level 20 can slow down the opponent's life energy flow by 20%, but if it is a level 50 oppression of level 20, the slowdown rate may be over 70%.If the difference in life energy levels between the two parties is too large, for example, level 80 actively suppresses level 10, it will cause life energy distortion. "

"You're saying that my elder brother encountered a very powerful Pokémon with oppressive characteristics, and his life energy was distorted under the strong oppression?"

Su Wen nodded: "The opponent is at least level 70. But there is one very strange thing. You must know that life energy is the source of life. Beishang's life energy was distorted and he only had a headache. This shows that the degree of his distortion is actually very low. , he encountered a powerful enemy, but was only slightly affected.”

"Yes." Nan Xia also noticed the problem, "The opponent only used a sense of oppression to press the elder brother, but did not attack or continue to press. This is too strange."

Nan Xia murmured to himself: "What happened to brother..."

Beishang is full of doubts.

First of all, he suddenly disappeared and then appeared suddenly. When he disappeared, even the United Alliance could not find his whereabouts. When he appeared, he suddenly appeared without anyone knowing, as if he was taken away and brought back by teleportation.

Secondly, Beishang, like most people in this world, cannot use the power of attributes, the energy level is 0, and the life energy is also the most basic level. Such a person with no fighting ability does not carry any treasure. Pokémon encountered a Pokémon that was at least level 70 and hostile to him, but he only suffered a slight distortion of life energy caused by the pressure.

Finally, there is the purpose of Su Wen coming in the first place, Hongyue.

Assuming that Beishang did see the red moon with his own eyes, it is possible that he, like Su Wen, traveled through time and space to Su Wen's original world.

This could explain his sudden disappearance and reappearance, but other questions followed: Even Su Wen himself narrowly escaped death. How could a person with no fighting ability in Beishang survive under the red moon of Su Wen's world?Unless the place he travels to is within the Human Alliance, it must be at least near the four major passes.

However, it is impossible for there to be monsters above level 70 within the Human Alliance. When monsters above level 70 appear near the four major levels, it proves that the Red Moon offensive and defensive battle has reached a white-hot stage. It is impossible for anyone to care about a person who has no fighting ability.

In Su Wen's original world, Red Moon + Level 70 Warcraft was a certain death situation for a person with no fighting ability, but Bei Shang survived with nothing but a headache.

The second possibility is that he has reached a place where the world cannot block the influence of the red moon.So the core question is still how Beishang survived.

Maybe he was saved by the Alliance, but if he was saved by the Alliance, would they still need to send someone to ask where Beishang went?Wherever the people are saved, they will go.

If he hadn't been rescued by the alliance, Su Wen wouldn't have been able to think of a way for Beishang to survive.

And this still can't explain why Beishang suddenly disappeared and suddenly appeared.Raven City is located in the hinterland of the Hezhu region. Su Wen did not believe that the Alliance would leave a place like this that could not shield the red moon. Even if there were, a person without any Pokémon and no combat power would not be able to alert anyone. Just go in.

In addition, there is another doubt about the time span. Beishang disappeared not for a few hours, days, or months, but for more than two years and three years. This time span is really too big!

Su Wen, who thought he could find some answers, suddenly found that there seemed to be more questions.

Chapter 59 A power that must be exerted by the cooperation of humans and Pokémon**

Beishang slept for more than two hours, and when he woke up, his headache almost disappeared.

Although the headache no longer hurts, Battle Metro still decides to close for a period of time, and Mingyi's challenge plan has to be postponed.

After Bei Shang woke up, Su Wen also asked him some questions. Unfortunately, what Bei Shang said was not much different from what Nan Xia said. Bei Shang didn't even know whether he saw the red moon with his own eyes. Can give a definite answer.

As Beishang said, he was indeed deeply impressed by the red moon, but he couldn't tell why he saw it at what time, where, or under what circumstances.

Su Wen could only draw one conclusion: Beishang had a high probability of seeing the red moon with his own eyes, but the probability that he had not actually experienced the red moon but had heard relevant information from other places was still not 0.

The disappearance of Beishang is still full of doubts. In the absence of information, Su Wen cannot know the whole story, and it is difficult to even make a general inference. However, one thing is certain, Beishang must be one of the key figures in solving the mystery. one.

Since no more information could be obtained and Mingyi could not fight, Su Wen decided to leave.

"Thank you again Mr. Su Wen for treating my eldest brother. We brothers will always welcome you two. If there is anything you can do to help, please let me know."

"I won't be polite if necessary. By the way, if you really have a severe headache, you can let your crystal lamp fire spirit absorb a little of your life energy. This can relieve the headache, but it is not conducive to your recovery in the long run. .”

Beishang nodded: "Keep it in mind."

Since no more information could be obtained and the Battle Metro was not going to open in the past few days, Su Wen and Ming Yi planned to leave the Battle Metro.

Before leaving, Beishang and Nanxia took Su Wen and wanted to give them some gifts to express their gratitude. Su Wen did not refuse. However, after hearing that Su Wen was not a trainer and had never conquered Pokémon, they What to give as a thank you gift was hard for the two bosses fighting against the subway.

What gift to give to someone who has no Pokémon at all is a difficult question in the Pokémon world!

In particular, Su Wen is still unemployed and is not a worker in Pokémon-related industries, nor is he a worker in other industries. Moreover, Su Wen is not short of money after helping the alliance take down two Plasma Group branches.

Beishang and Nanxia were scratching their heads and couldn't think of what to give.

Su Wen did not insist on this gift. In his opinion, this was just a mutually beneficial exchange of information. However, the two insisted on giving it, and Su Wen was quite helpless.

Suddenly he thought that Mingyi mentioned on the way here that she wanted to watch the game live.

"Okay, you two, I heard that there will be a...what's the home game called in Raven City in three days? Can you get us two tickets?"

Beishang immediately patted his chest and promised, "No problem, I can help you get the tickets with the best seats."

After saying that, he didn't forget to give Su Wen a thumbs up: "I like Leiwen City, Mr. Su is really discerning."

Unlike his brother who was suddenly beaming, Nan Xia suddenly fell silent.Beishang slapped his younger brother unceremoniously: "Nanxia is a fan of Leiwen United, so don't pay attention to him."

Nan Xia, who was slapped, suddenly jumped up as if a switch had been turned on. He spoke very quickly: "I suddenly remembered that I accidentally discovered a strange piece of stone when I was looking for Bei Shang." The stone is of some value, I’ll go get it and give it to Mr. Su.”

Before anyone else could say anything, Nan Xia had already returned to the room like the wind and came out holding a box.

He opened the box and found a round stone about half the size of a fist lying in the middle of the box.In Su Wen's perception, there is indeed an unexplainable powerful energy flowing within the stone.

"I found this in the Kalos area. It should be a MEGA evolution stone, but I don't know which Pokémon it corresponds to." Nan Xia handed the box to Su Wen as he spoke, "I'll give this to Su Wen." Sir."

MEGA evolution, this is the second time Su Wen has heard this term. The last time was in the video analyzing the strength of regional champions, in which it was mentioned that Kalos champion Karuna's Gardevoir can MEGA evolve.

This matter aroused Su Wen's interest at the time, but the impact of the champion and ace Pikachu on him later, and all kinds of things, made Su Wen forget about studying the evolution of MEGA.

Now a ready-made MEGA evolution stone was placed in front of him, which aroused his curiosity again.

Su Wen picked up the stone and felt it carefully. He was surprised to find that the energy in the stone actually contained a rhythm similar to life energy!

"Is this stone alive?" Su Wen asked in surprise.

Nan Xia was stunned when he heard this: "It must be a dead thing, right? I don't know much about MEGA evolution. I only know that with the cooperation of trainers and Pokémon, it can temporarily evolve specific Pokémon. This temporary evolution will Improve all aspects of a Pokémon like normal evolution, and even change its characteristics, but this evolved form cannot exist for a long time."

A brief evolution?No wonder it contains strange life energy.

Su Wen put this strange stone back into the box and marveled.

MEGA evolution is not only a complete knowledge blind spot for Su Wen, but also a knowledge blind spot for the Human Alliance.The two sides have been fighting for thousands of years, and they have only seen monsters that can change their appearance. They have never heard of monsters that can temporarily evolve.

Suddenly Su Wen thought of something, and he looked at Nanxia: "Does this MEGA evolution require the cooperation of humans and Pokémon?"

Nan Xia nodded: "It should be like this. It is said that the load of MEGA evolution is very heavy. It requires a strong enough bond between trainers and Pokémon to work together to withstand the burden of MEGA evolution."

Su Wen took out the MEGA evolution stone from the box again and looked at it silently.

Is it a power that requires humans and Pokémon to work together...

On the other hand, Nan Xia added: "Because there are many restrictions, MEGA evolution is not common, but there is still a market for MEGA evolution stones."

The implication is that even if Su Wen doesn't want to use it himself, he can basically get a satisfactory return by selling it or bartering.

Su Wen put the stone back and closed the box: "I'm very interested in MEGA evolution. Thank you Nan Xia."

Seeing Su Wen accepting the gift with satisfaction, Beishang Nanxia breathed a sigh of relief.Whether you want to thank Su Wen or want to make friends with Su Wen, two tickets are obviously not enough. A gift of the level of MEGA Evolution Stone is suitable.

After bidding farewell to the two subway brothers, Su Wen and Ming Yi returned to the bustling streets of Raven City.

"Su Wen, have you ever seen the moon turn red?" Mingyi asked tentatively.

Su Wen was silent for a while, and it wasn't until the two of them walked about a hundred meters away that he responded to Ming Yi: "My story is more complicated. I will tell you again when I have the opportunity. What should I say next?"

Ming Yi tilted her head and thought for a moment, then smiled sheepishly: "Why don't you go challenge the gym."

Su Wen shrugged indifferently: "Let's go."

Chapter 60 Has it evolved?Dull

"Appointment?!" Mingyi's eyes widened.

The hostess in sexy model clothes at the entrance of Raven Gym said with a smile: "Yes. Because Raven Gym is usually used for model shows, the venue arrangement is limited. Therefore, the gym challenge requires a reservation one day in advance."

"Why is this so?" Ming Yi was a little downcast.

Today, I first went to challenge the subway with great interest, but the host was not feeling well and the subway was closed. Then I came to challenge the gym, but I learned that to challenge the gym, you need to make an appointment first.

I, Mingyi, just want to fight, why is it so difficult!

Seeing Mingyi's expression of "I'm going to give you a bad review of Raven City!", the etiquette lady was still smiling. She took out two coupons and handed them to Mingyi: "To express my apology, here are two coupons of Raven City A [-]% discount coupon for the signature restaurant is provided to you two. If you two want to dine here today, you can reserve a table for you in advance."

"Make an appointment for tomorrow's gym battle first!"

Very late in the evening.

"It's not bad. At least the food in this restaurant is quite good, and the [-]% off coupon is quite sincere." Su Wen slowly cut the salt-baked Slowpoke tail on the plate and looked at the angry Ming Ming. according to.

"They are engaging in bundled consumption!" Mingyi was excited, and the crab claws she held in her hands rattled, "What about a [-]% discount coupon? If I don't need to make an appointment, I will finish the meal and leave on the same day, and what about the meal and accommodation expenses? It won’t happen at all. Now let’s make a first-hand reservation. If you want to challenge the gym, don’t you have to eat and live in Raven City?!”

Ming Yi hummed: "No wonder Raven City's economy is so good. It's really a good idea."

Su Wen looked at Ming Yi sideways: "I don't think Raven City's good economy has much to do with booking gym battles. I don't know who told me that she loved coming to Raven City to play when she was a child and never wanted to go back. "

Ming Yi's face turned red: "I think your salt-baked Slowpoke tail is delicious, so I'll trade it with you for my black pepper one."

Su Wen followed Ming Yi's topic calmly: "I didn't expect that people here would actually eat the tails of Slowpoke."

"If we can eat clams, there's nothing we can't eat."

As she spoke, Mingyi took a bite of Slowpoke's tail and exclaimed "It tastes so good" with an expression of enjoyment. Then she continued: "With Slowpoke's slow reaction and current regeneration technology, he was killed before he could react. The cut off tail has grown back."

"Do you understand it so clearly?"

"Of course, besides becoming a Pokémon Master, my other dream is to become a gourmet!"

A pleasant dinner passed in this way.

The next day, the high-spirited Mingyi headed towards the Leiwen Gym with the Ivy Snake Hero. According to her, in order not to waste time by making another appointment, she must win it for the Leiwen Gym in one go!

The Leiwen City Amusement Park where Raiven Gym is located is still crowded with people. Since Raiven Gym is located in the middle of the amusement park, Mingyi and Su Wen still have to walk a while among the crowds.

Originally, in this case, it was the best choice to take the Pokémon back, so as not to be squeezed out by the crowds. But on the one hand, Su Wen was here, and his omnipotent super power could prevent the surrounding people from crowding out the two of them. On the other hand, Mingyi didn't want to take back the Ivy Snake and Butu Po.

"Xiao Ju'er, the gym trainer at Leiwen Gym, is a very popular trainer. Whether it's a model show or a gym battle, many viewers come to watch the scene. The atmosphere is only scattered compared to when we challenged the gym before. Several audiences are different.

The increase in the audience will affect everyone's state to some extent. You are not required to perform abnormally under pressure. At least you should not have stage fright, so start adapting to an environment with many people from now on! "

After entering the amusement park, Mingyi spoke earnestly to the two Pokémon.

The Ivy Snake flicked its tail, looking a little unconcerned.So what if there are many people?There are just so many people!Only with more people can more people appreciate Sister Snake's heroic appearance!

As expected, Butubo was timid before fighting. When he heard that many people would come to watch Butubo fight, he felt his hands and feet were trembling. Looking around, the crowded scene in front of him made him tremble even more!

He was even thinking that if he lost, wouldn't Mingyi be embarrassed in front of so many people?The more he thought about it, the more nervous he became, and the more he thought about it, the more scared he became, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

This cowardice did not exceed Mingyi and Su Wen's expectations at all, and it was abnormal for Bu Tubo to not be afraid.But it is better to be afraid at this time than to be afraid when you are ready to play. At least now you can adapt in advance, and you can adapt as much as you can.
