Elven calendar 1000, July 1.

"Thank you for your hospitality—"

Early in the morning, after eating the last breakfast at the Pokémon Center in the Contestant's Village, Xiao Ye and his party walked out the door in black - not because of the crowd, of course, but because the color and thickness of the trench coat were too unique in this midsummer.

"I always feel that I have become accustomed to taking all the free time out of my free time every day to check information and train, and I am a little uncomfortable when I am suddenly idle. The blonde girl said as she jumped to the front.

"yes, I feel empty inside. ”

As soon as Xiao Jie answered casually, he saw his sister stop with a complicated face.

"With all due respect, brother, you didn't need pre-game training a few days ago, so what kind of energy is ......"

Xiaojie: "......"

Seeing that Xiaojie's complexion turned from red to blue and then to black, I was afraid that he would shout in the next second, "Can't you let me walk out of the player village happily, bastard sister", Xiao Ye hurriedly interjected with a dry smile, "No, that's right, seeing that the number of people in the Pokémon Center suddenly decreased by more than half, I felt that the contest was over." ”

Xiao Ling seemed to be easily diverted, no longer directly at her brother, and squeezed her eyes at Xiao Ye with a smile, "Mmmm, this sentence Xiao Ye is very convincing for you - after all, you are different from the errand boy, and you have been fighting until the last day." ”

Sayo: "......"

Xiaojie: "...... Can't you let me walk out of the contestant village happily bastard sister!!"

The purple-haired girl covered her face with one hand, feeling deeply unable to save her.

There was a slight patting sensation on the shoulder. Xiao Ye raised his head and saw the silver-haired young man say indifferently, "It's hard work." We should trust that they won't break up because of this. ”

"I misread you! I don't have a sister like you!"

"It's too much-'sister like me' doesn't dislike my brother for not making it to the quarterfinals-"

Sayo: "......"

Xiaotian: "...... We...... ...... should be believed" (Tough)

Xinghai: "Hahaha. (Tea)

"Alright, let's get down to business. After a chicken and dog jump, Xiaojie finally regained his senses, "What are you going to do next?"

"Probably to keep traveling. Sayo replied, "As for the location......

"Do you want to go to Silver Mountain with us?" Before Xiao Ye's words were finished, the blonde girl warmly invited, "It's just so time that we need to go home!"

"Uh...... Speaking of which, what about Grandpa Yuanzheng?" Xiao Ye looked around left and right, and slowly realized the problem - the smiling old man was obviously still at breakfast time.

"Grandpa, he hates to ride in the car, so he rode back to the city and waited for us. Xiao Ling replied casually.

Ride...... Riding a Hudi?

Xiao Ye exchanged the same shocked look with the silver-haired boy next to him, confirming that it was not his own head that was wrong - the two golden retrievers with calm faces on the other side were definitely not thinking properly.

It took a long time for the purple-haired girl to regain her normal speech ability, and she was about to stumble to answer Xiao Ling's question, when a voice not far away interrupted her words.

"Sorry to interrupt. A young woman in a police uniform walked briskly and locked her eyes on one of the "Black Presses", "You're a Beidou player, right?" ”

"Yes, Miss Junsha. ”

"Regarding the violent attack that occurred in the market on the night of the 28th, we need some more detailed information from you – I should have greeted you before. The policewoman said succinctly, "Now that the game is over, do you have time to cooperate with the inquiry?"

"Yes. ”

"Thank you for your cooperation, please come with me. ”

"Yes, you're welcome...... Qi ......" Xiao Ye's head nodded halfway, and then he realized something.

As soon as she turned around, three green eyes really hit her with compassion, making the girl have the illusion of being skewered into a kebab for a while.

“......”

“...... That, I can explain it......"

Returning to the familiar police room with Miss Junsha, during the questioning, Saya learned that the police had guessed the identity of the attacker.

After comparing multiple pieces of information, they believe that the attacker is likely to be a foreign mercenary with a criminal record in the Alliance. There are not many surveillance footage preserved in the market, and in order to understand his identity in more detail, the testimony of the person concerned is very important.

The Public Security Bureau has already investigated more insider information based on existing clues, but this information cannot be freely disclosed to the young contestants. Even the identity of the perpetrator is speculated to be told for the purpose of protecting the victim.

So, if you meet this person again in the future, or see someone who looks like him, make sure to prioritize your own safety, try to avoid a confrontation, and call the police immediately. Do you understand?" the policewoman admonished again before leaving.

"Understood. Xiao Ye nodded in response.

The follow-up questioning of the incident took about two or three hours, and when Xiao Ye walked out of the police office, the scorching summer sun was already about to rise overhead.

- However, no matter how strong the sunlight is, the gaze that is so focused on her is so intense.

"Miss Junsha has already told us the specific situation. Xinghai smiled and played a round for the children—and the next sentence went back, "However, I think everyone would prefer to hear from you in person, on the day of the incident." ”

"I'm sorry. ”

Sayo walked back to the black press in a sneer, "I just think it's embarrassing to talk about this kind of thing during the game......"

"Your concealment is also very bad for our friendship. The golden retriever said.

“...... I'm sorry! I'll buy you a cake as an apology!"

Fortunately, the attack that day did not cause any irreparable consequences, and the parties also had Bai Lan and Yangzhen, and it was not Xiao Ye who was involved in an accidental beating alone. She tried her best during the journey from the police office to the exit of the athletes' village, and finally succeeded in turning the topic around.

"-I was talking about the future itinerary before, right? Have you decided on it?" Xinghai, the only adult, began to speak.

"Xiaoling and I plan to go home with our grandfather and practice hard in Silver Mountain. Xiaojie said, his expression became serious, "After this competition, we all know that we still have many shortcomings. I want to sign up for a real team with you, instead of paying lip service to the way I am now. ”

The registration of a professional team is similar to that of an executive five-person team, except that it is more flexible than a five-person team limited to a single department, and can be combined across departments. If you want to legally fight crime and rescue people in the form of a clan, registration is an essential step.

And even if the layers of assessment that need to be experienced for the registration of a professional team are temporarily excluded, the minimum requirement - "all team members have obtained the professional trainer qualification certificate" - is an unattainable task for the current four people.

"So we have to work harder, in case we can't even get into the Trainer Cultivation Academy, it will be miserable. Xiaojie grinned, as if he had seen the tragic future of having no way to enter the school and could really only be an errand boy.

"Where's Saya, Koyo?"

Hearing Xiao Ling's question, Xiao Ye replied, "I plan to go to the Orange Islands and continue my cultivation on the journey. ”

"Orange Islands?" Xiao Ling was stunned, "I remember there doesn't seem to be a league there, right?"

Xinghai answered with a smile, "That's true." However, the Orange Islands are a very different place to experience than the highly developed cities of Guandu, making it a great place for trainers to cruise. ”

"My next stop with my father was Orange Island in the northern part of the Orange Islands. Xiaotian added calmly.

The two golden retrievers looked at each other when they heard this, and they both looked thoughtful, not knowing what they were thinking.

"-It's rare to have the same goal, Xiaoye, do you want to go with us?"

Faced with Xinghai's invitation, Xiao Ye didn't think too much about it, so she nodded and agreed.

She knows that one of the best things about traveling as a trainer is taking a short trip with a travel companion. Besides, she still had something to hand over to the silver-haired youth, something she had decided long before the league began.

Returning to the city together, the four of them were finally able to take off their stuffy windbreakers and change back into their original cool clothes. And then - at the station they parted.

Seeing Xiaojie and Xiaoling get on the train to Silver Mountain, the remaining three did not rush to leave, but temporarily settled down at the Pokémon Center in the city and handled trivial matters separately.

The purple-haired girl pinched her bank card and ran all the way to the store, almost crying with joy when she looked at the six-digit number displayed on the ATM.

The prize money for the top four of this quartz alliance is 120,000 elf coins, which is an unprecedented amount for Xiao Ye even after taxes.

She immediately paid the last installment to the White Crow Underground Dueling Arena, and in her happiness she returned to a debt-free and light state.

"Master, won't we run out of food this time?" asked the electric mouse on his shoulder seriously.

"Not anymore. After a pause, Saya added in a sonorous voice, "Maybe never." ”

“......”

“...... Why do you have that expression?"

Little Pichu's whole face was wrinkled, "You said the same thing about Qiu ...... before, master"

Xiao Ye recalled that she was happy with her salary after her part-time job in Rainbow City, and suddenly fell silent.

— and after today's purchase, I heartily agreed with Pichu's point of view.

The "forever" phrase at the moment of getting the money is always a bad joke.

Once you've decided on the next stop on your trip, the items that cost money will follow.

First of all, the riding device for flying - they will fly directly to Orange Island on a Pokémon on this trip, Xiaotian and his son will not ignore the traffic rules like Xiaojie, they will only press the lawbreaker to the ground and beat him.

Secondly, smartphones - in fact, travelers should have their phones ready before departure, but Xiaoye is really shy in her pocket, so she has dragged this essential hardware until now to buy.

At the beginning of the night trip, there were not many acquaintances, and there was no need to contact others. And now that I have three companions who have shared weal and woe, it's a bit too much to say if I don't give my mobile phone number.

In addition, the Pokémon's food and medicine have long been at the bottom, and the food supply during the league is completely dependent on the Pokémon Center. Now that Saya has left the Player's Village and is about to start traveling further away from the city, a large stockpile of food and medicine is required.

In the end, there is the important "gift" that Xiao Ye has been thinking about for a long time and finally decided-

Two o'clock in the afternoon, Mihara City.

"Are you ready?" the silver-haired young man in a black cycling suit smiled and turned his head to look at his similarly dressed companions.

Undoubtedly, he received two affirmative answers.

The sun is blazing in the middle of summer, but the breeze is pleasant. When the skin touches the wind, it is as if the sound of leaves and waves rings in your ears. It is believed that when they fly high in the air on the wind, the cool air flow will take away all the stuffiness and irritability, and convey the best feelings to the travelers walking side by side.

"Let's go, then. ”

"The target – the Orange Islands. ”

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

Small Theatre:

After shopping –

Pichu: (worried) Master...... How many more meals can we eat?

Xiaoye: (Difficult) At least a month's worth of food is still guaranteed!

Pichu: (thoughtfully) So the master always meant the month mound...... The eternity of mankind is really short......

Night: ...... (PAWN)
