Pokémon League Chronicles/Farming, Pokémon Trainer!

After all, it was only half a year of training with Shi Yue. Ming Yao was still far away from becoming a saint in his physical body. It could only be said that he had initially possessed a certain level of personal combat ability, and there was still a considerable gap between him and Xing Yue, a terrestrial god.

Perhaps because he knew that combat power would be difficult to develop in a short period of time, or perhaps because of Shi Yue's own skills and expertise, he did not let Mingyao focus entirely on physical training, but instead spent a lot of time teaching him some very important skills. A strange, but very useful little skill.

It includes disguise, speaking skills, pseudo-voice and acting skills, as well as sketching.

"This is the first floor, which is where we are currently, and it is also the floor where the rooms of the seventy disciples ranked after fifty are located. If we want to divide it according to functionality, then the first floor is the living area of ​​this gym. , there are dormitories, canteens and toilets.”

Xiao Zhao also came over and frowned: "The food in that canteen smells like vomit. Compared to that, I would rather eat the dry food in the bag."

"Me too, I'm starting to miss Shi Yue's cooking." Mingyao sighed: "I'll ask Gardevoir to teleport back to the Celebration Village later, and let Shi Yue cook something for us... But that will come later. Say it again."

Mingyao drew a pencil in his hand and pointed to a facility on the other side of the first floor: "Xiaozhao, have you seen their toilet here?"

Xiaozhao tilted his head, shook his head and said, "No, didn't you just say you wanted to go to the toilet and asked that person named Shi You to show you the way? How about that?"

"It's okay if you don't. Trust me, you will never want to go to the toilet in that kind of place in the future."

When Mingyao recalled that place, his expression suddenly became distorted and painful: "I really didn't expect that when Zhuqing Village and King Kong Settlement have already adopted ecological toilets, there can be dry toilets in this castle! I smelled it halfway through the walk, even compared to Yagyu Fuko's tank skunk! I really admire the group of Pokémon trainers living in the dormitory in that corridor, nothing else. It is said that their tolerance to poisonous gas is absolutely extraordinary..."

Although it has only been established for ten years, thanks to the rigorous work of the construction team, Zhuqing Village has a very complete sewer system. Several public toilets are ecological toilets with automatic water tanks. There is almost nothing too exaggerated. The smell is not much different from modern public toilets (it is said that after Gang Shi came here once, he spent a lot of money to ask the construction team to go to the King Kong settlement to build a similar one).

So when Mingyao walked into the toilet in person, for the first time he had a profound understanding of the historical background of the Xicui area in terms of the concept of "sanitary conditions"...

Mingyao shook his head, barely letting the pain mask disappear from his face, and pointed the pencil at the second layer of the paper castle.

“The second floor is closer to the core of the gym.

According to Shi Er, the top fifty disciples, and even Ashun's own room, are all on this floor.Moreover, there are several very important facilities here, whose exquisiteness and luxury are completely different from other places.

The first facility is the training ground.

Even if the training ground here is set up on the second floor, the scale is still very exaggerated. The area alone is more than three times that of the Zhuqing Village training ground. Someone comes to take care of maintenance every day, and it is actually done twice a day - I don't remember. If you are wrong, the training ground in Zhuqing Village is repaired every half a month.

In contrast, whether it is the toilet or the canteen, the degree of attention is less than one-tenth of that in the training ground.Even if they spend half the manpower and material resources to repair the training ground and spend more than a month and a half to repair the castle, the living environment here will not be like a prison. "

Xiaozhao blinked: "That's true...but this is a gym. The disciples are all people who particularly like Pokémon battles. It's normal to invest more in the training ground and to cultivate bigger ones, right?"

But before she finished speaking, she patted the hard bed board unhappily and sighed: "However, there is no need to deduct the mattress in the guest room because of this... It is better to sleep in a sleeping bag."

Mingyao shrugged helplessly and stretched out his second finger:

“The second key facility on the second floor is the infirmary.

What surprised me a little was that their infirmary was very complete, with all kinds of medicinal materials and facilities, and even two auspicious eggs.This configuration is similar even when compared to the office of the medical team in Team Galaxy headquarters.

But after taking a closer look, I found that the infirmary here is missing one very important thing compared to the medical team office. "

Xiaozhao was stunned, tilted his head and thought: "When you say that, it seems that something is missing... What is it?"

"Injuries! To be precise, human injuries!"

Mingyao sighed: "Have you noticed that although the infirmary occupies a large area, there is not a single human being in it except for the disciple who is responsible for managing the infirmary!

Even in the Celebration Village, when members of the security team were practicing battles with each other, people were often accidentally injured by Pokémon's moves. It was normal for them to get injured.The Pokémon trainers in the gym are all fighting enthusiasts. On weekdays, the number of battles is only more than that of the guard team, and there must be many injured people.

But the result?There is no room for human patients in the infirmary. All the people on the bed are Pokémon. And although many of the medicinal herbs prepared on the table are also effective for humans, there are overwhelmingly many herbs that have special effects on Pokémon. . "

The investigation team also went to certain dangerous places to collect medicines for the medical team on weekdays, so Xiaozhao was familiar with various medicinal materials.

She thought about it carefully and said in surprise: "Really, when you said that, I remembered that there seemed to be very few human-specific equipment and facilities in that infirmary!"

"So... that medical room is not set up for the gym disciples, but for the Pokémon here!" Mingyao concluded: "A bold guess, if the gym disciples are injured, they You may not even be eligible to use that infirmary!”

Chapter 50 I said that the more I write, the more familiar I become.

Although the name is "Dojo", Ah Shun's dojo is obviously completely different from the dojos of later generations that Mingyao knew.Apart from their names, the two have nothing to do with each other.

Gyms in later generations are official organizations affiliated with the Pokémon Alliance. They are led by dedicated gym leaders. Challengers will be given badges after they win. They are local facilities set up by the alliance to train and assess trainers. Just like test centers distributed in various cities.

As for Ah Shun's "Dojo"... to be precise, it is closer to the "sect" in fantasy novels or martial arts novels. It is Ah Shun's pursuit of personal strength. developed.

This gym is independently established and has its own system. It was established by Ah Shun for the purpose of enhancing strength and training himself. It welcomes not "challengers", but "disciples" who pursue strength and want to become stronger. .

"If the King Kong Team or the Pearl Team are a settlement gathered under the belief of the Great Lord of Sinnoh, then this is a group of fighting sects gathered under the religious belief called "Power"." Mingyao commented.

However, whether it is a monastery or a sect, even if they do not live in simple tents or wooden houses, but in a majestic ancient castle, the essence of this place is still a settlement of more than 120 humans living together. It is an out-and-out small society. It is the same as Zhuqing Village, King Kong Settlement, Pearl Settlement, and even other ordinary villages in the Xicui area, and there is no essential difference.

And if we look at the Pokémon Gym as a society... this society can be said to be extremely deformed.

The age structure here is single, there seems to be no stable production structure, and there is also a lack of stable communication with other settlements outside the world.More importantly, people's basic needs have not been effectively met.

"The main body of society is people, and the main body inside the gym is the disciples. Logically speaking, the gym must meet the basic needs of the disciples in order to operate stably, but the result..."

Mingyao shrugged: "Eating here is only to satisfy your hunger, and there is no guarantee in terms of quality, taste, nutrition, etc.; the accommodation only seems to be able to protect you from wind and rain. This castle looks cold in winter and damp in summer, and the sanitary conditions are worrying. The last time I went to the toilet, I might have fainted two or three times due to the smell in it, and it would have been uncomfortable no matter how I stayed there. In terms of medical conditions, the Pokémon were pretty good, but as a human being, I’m afraid they weren’t treated very well, and bandages, crutches, and other things weren’t guaranteed. how many……

Under many restrictions, they have, and only one need is successfully met, and that is personal pursuit. "

Xiaozhao thought for a moment: "You mean, their pursuit of strength as Pokémon trainers?"

"That's right. Nothing about this gym is good, but the Pokémon facilities are completely faultless.

There is a training ground, infirmary, and even a Pokémon feed preparation room on the second floor, a library that collects all kinds of knowledge and information about move characteristics, and a large area of ​​land in the backyard of the castle. Take care of Pokémon..."

Mingyao pointed with a pencil at the locations of the important facilities he had specially marked on the drawing, and finally couldn't help but sigh: "Not just the Celebration Village, even if I have lived with Pokémon for hundreds of years. Neither the Diamond Village nor the Pearl Village has such complete facilities. For Pokémon trainers who pursue strength first, there is no more suitable place than here."

"It sounds... it doesn't seem impossible?" Xiaozhao tilted his head: "Mingyao, haven't you been pursuing a place like this? Didn't you say that you just want to build a place where Pokémon is valued and everyone can A society where nature and Pokémon get along? If you put it that way, wouldn’t this gym fit perfectly?”

"Perfectly consistent... Damn you, what did you understand by what I said at that time?" Mingyao shook his head helplessly.

What he wants is for Pokémon to integrate into human society correctly and reasonably, support each other with humans, and jointly run a healthy society that is not even the slightest bit different from the current gym.

"Forget it, let's leave it like this for now. Some other information is not clear enough. Let's add it later." Mingyao put the paper away and looked at Xiaozhao: "Anyway, we have successfully sneaked in now. Look. No one seemed to notice anything unusual."

Xiaozhao blinked and suddenly remembered something: "So, Mingyao, you haven't told me yet, what are we going to do when we infiltrate this time? Are we here to beat up the guy named Ah Shun? But I heard He doesn’t seem to be here?”

A few days ago, Xingyue and Magamu temporarily found Xiaozhao and told her that she had a secret mission to perform, and asked her to follow Mingyao and sneak into the Pokémon Gym on the Ultramarine Coast... That's it.

As for why he infiltrated, the purpose of infiltrating, and when he left, none of this was said.Magamu just told her to follow Mingyao's command in everything.

"This... are you sure you want to listen?" Mingyao pondered for a moment, his expression suddenly turned painful, and he took out a thick stack of documents from his backpack: "Our purpose this time is actually very complicated, and it will change with the times. It changes depending on the specific situation, and it is very complicated. At that time, Boss Magam and I discussed it for a long time before finalizing the plan. If you want to explain it, it will take at least half an hour to start."

"Oh, that's it. Forget it, forget it." Seeing that she wanted to listen to the Book of Heaven, Xiao Zhao quickly shook her head: "Just tell me what to do specifically."

Although he was sneaking into a place full of martial arts factions and violent maniacs, Xiao Zhao was not too nervous because of his absolute trust in Mingyao.

Anyway, that guy looks thoughtful all day long. If the sky falls, he will be the one to carry it. I just have to do my job well.

Looking at Xiaozhao, who had completely forgotten that he was actually his senior, Mingyao couldn't help but smile, "In short, let's walk around the castle first and collect information... By the way, try to have a good relationship with the people here."

"Huh?" Xiaozhao heard a strange point in Mingyao's words: "What you mean is that establishing a good relationship with Pokémon trainers is not just to obtain information from them, but there is something else. Purpose?"

"Indeed."

Mingyao couldn't help but grin when he saw that although his senior was naive, his head was spinning surprisingly fast.

"If you want to poach someone, you must start by getting close to them."

Chapter 51 Night talk

People have a very strange general psychology: the more they expect something and don't get it, the more they want it; but when they actually get the thing, they are not as happy as expected.

Ah Jun felt like this at this time.

It was already night, and Ajun was lying in his long-lost room, tossing and turning, unable to sleep comfortably.

When he was in Zhuqing Village, he wanted to leave that damn place day and night and return to the gym he loved so much.But after actually coming back, he was not as happy as he thought.

On the one hand, this is because A Jun did not come back alone.When he came back, he was forced to bring Mingyao's time bomb with him.

Although after walking around the entire castle, they seemed to have been using the excuse of being tired from traveling and staying in the guest room peacefully without doing anything out of the ordinary... But when they thought about such a dangerous and terrifying guy, Living in the same building as him, A Jun couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

On the other hand, Ajun unexpectedly discovered that he seemed... somewhat unaccustomed to life in the gym.

He turned over again, wrapped himself in a quilt, and changed positions several times, but it was not very comfortable.

When he was in Zhuqing Village, Shi Yue arranged a small room for him, which was inside the Yuman Pavilion. It was a room that was vacated after clearing out the storage room.

The room was very simple, but very comfortable. The bedding was thick and the pillows were soft. There was a small paper window beside the bed. When the moon was full, Ajun could open the window and lie on the bed and stare at the moon.

And here... Ajun's room also has a window, but it is not so much a window as it is more like a hole made in the wall with brute force. The wind blowing from the ultramarine coast scrapes the gaps in the wall like a knife, There were bursts of annoying noises.

Ajun sighed, unable to sleep anyway, so he simply sat up from the bed and walked to the window to enjoy the breeze.

However, he regretted it not long after he blew it: the sea breeze was not as clean and sweet as he imagined, but had a strange smell that made people think deeply and make people urinate.

Ah Jun then remembered that the downstairs of his room was where the only toilet in the gym was, and the wind was blowing the smell there to him...

He felt a little nauseous. The food provided in the restaurant tonight tasted so unpalatable that he didn't eat much to begin with, and now he had the urge to vomit it all out...

"Hey, wait a minute, don't vomit here. What about your quality? What's the point of vomiting next to the window?"

A familiar voice suddenly came. A Jun was startled. He covered his mouth and subconsciously took two steps back. He looked left and right: "Ming, Mingyao? Where are you? Are you spying on me?"

"What are you talking about? Don't be narcissistic. It's enough to have Gengar watching you. I don't have time to keep an eye on you all day long."

Ajun was a little confused: Why, Mingyao's voice seemed to come from outside the window?

Before he could think about it, he suddenly heard a "click" sound outside the window, and then saw a hand put on the edge of the window.

Then with a "whoosh" sound, a figure turned over from the window and landed steadily on the ground.

"Tsk, tsk, that's disgusting..." Mingyao stood in front of the window and clapped his hands with a look of disgust on his face: "How long has it been since you cleaned the outside of your castle? It looks fine from a distance, but when you get up close, you realize that the dust is worse than what I painted. My makeup was still thick, so I only climbed four meters high, and my hands turned black immediately."

Ah Jun was obviously frightened by this uninvited guest. He stared for a long time before stammering: "You, you, you, what are you doing here?!"

"What am I here for? Of course I'm here to connect with my good cousin. By the way, I also have something I want to ask you."

Mingyao answered nonchalantly while looking around Ajun's room and frowned: "What's going on? Aren't you one of those "second disciples"? I thought your room would be slightly better, but It doesn’t look any better, does it?”

Ajun's room is about thirty square meters, which is quite a large area for a single room, but unfortunately this room has almost no redeeming features except the floor space.

The tatami mats laid on the floor looked old and worn, and there were even holes in some places, completely exposing the straw used as filler inside. Apart from a small wooden bed, there was only a simple wooden set in the entire room. There were tables and chairs, but no other furniture - even the chair was one leg short, so it couldn't be built at all.

Being said by Mingyao, the "enemy", Ajun subconsciously became rebellious and forgot about Mingyao's fear. He puffed up his chest after saying "hum".

"Food or accommodation are just external things. We are Pokémon trainers who pursue power. Our goal is to become stronger. It is too late to devote ourselves to training. How can we have the time and thought to enjoy it!"

"Oh? Really? That's really amazing." Mingyao clapped his hands expressionlessly: "Then what will be the result of you giving up your enjoyment? Can you beat me?"

Ajun, who was proud just now, immediately withered.

Mingyao shook his head and walked to the only table and chairs in the room. Since there was no room to sit on the chairs, he sat directly on the table and looked at Ajun head-on.

"Let's talk to me. After walking around your gym today, I suddenly have a lot of questions in my mind."

As he spoke, he took out some candies and snacks from his bag and threw them casually into Jun's shadow.

Those snacks did not fall to the ground, but were caught by a bloody mouth that suddenly opened in the shadow. After that, a scarlet tongue stuck out, licking the surrounding area with unfinished meaning.

Well, although it is not difficult, it is still a troublesome job to keep an eye on Ajun. It is also necessary to reward Geng Gui a little.

By the way, when feeding it, you can also show off to Jun a little and express friendly messages such as "Don't forget that our Gengar is still staring at you, so don't try to play tricks." .

Ajun understood Mingyao's meaning very well. After sighing, he sat on the edge of the bed, put his hands on his legs, and said honestly: "What do you want to ask?"

"The first point is about the castle itself." Mingyao pointed his finger downwards at the floor: "How did you find this castle, and how did you turn it into your own stronghold? Explain to me one-five-ten. clear."

Chapter 52 The Castle

Under the pressure of Gengar under his feet, and after spending quite a long time with Mingyao as a hostage, Ajun unknowingly got used to Mingyao asking him questions like this, so he He didn't think too much and immediately told the whole story.

"When Master Ah Shun - I still called him Brother Ah Shun at that time - took us away from Zhuqing Village, some people in the team were actually quite uneasy.

Because we have been living in Zhuqing Village before. Although that place is boring, there is a place to stay.When we think about having no fixed place to live in the future, everyone is a little nervous.

But Master Ah Shun was very confident. He told us that there was no need to be afraid. He knew a good place, just northwest of the Ultramarine Coast. It was ten thousand times better than Zhuqing Village, so he took us there directly.

And that good place...as you can see, is this building called the Castle. "

Mingyao blinked, slightly surprised.

"What you mean, Ashun knew about this place before he left Zhuqing Village? How did he know?"

He heard Shi Yue say that when Ashun was still in Zhuqing Village, Xingyue had not set up an investigation team for a while. Team Galaxy had done very little exploration of the wild environment, and even the nearby Obsidian Wilderness was not fully understood. .

Under such circumstances, how did Ashun, who was the leader of the security team and stayed in the village, know that there was such a mysterious castle building at the other end of the Xicui area?

"We don't know either." Ah Jun shook his head: "But we all know that Master Ah Shun is quite powerful. Since he said there is, then there must be.

And this is indeed the case.After walking for a few days, Master Ashun took us into the castle.

It was the first time for us to see such a magnificent building, so we were very excited. A group of people walked around the castle and jumped up and down, wanting to explore everything here.
