After putting away the disc-shaped skill machine, Saya walked to the self-service machine on the left side of the Pokémon Center and checked her bank card balance.

The prize money for winning the Gym Battle has been credited to the account. In the past, this account only received a minimum living allowance of 5,000 elf coins [Pokemon_Dollar] per month, but this is the first time that I have received a remittance other than this.

The amount of the prize money is 1500pd, which is not a lot due to the fact that it is the first gym battle. If you continue to challenge, the prize money will gradually increase, and it will be fixed at 5000 PD from the 8th Gym Battle.

At that time, the prize money for just one victory in the Gym Battle will be worth the entire source of funds for a month.

Next to Pokémon Centers in major cities, there are usually friendly shops with blue roofs. The shop is a welfare facility for trainers, and you can only enter it by showing the trainer's license in the illustrated book, and the friendly shop sells items at low prices, such as 300 pd for common wound medicine and travel goods such as sleeping bags and tents, which are only half the market price.

The living security fund issued by the alliance is not much, but it is more than enough to support normal life, and Xiaoye can basically save about 2000pd every month. Even so, this bonus is not a small amount for Xiao Ye.

Xiao Ye even had the ridiculous idea of "beating Nibi Gym ten more times" in an instant, but he was quickly suppressed by reason.

It's a shame.

Although basic living is not a problem, the lack of funds does cause a lot of inconvenience to travel. Pokémon League has a strong focus on training young trainers, and the travel essentials you can buy at friendly shops are low. However, the Friendly Shop is positioned to reduce the burden of life for freelance trainers who travel and play tournaments for a living, and the products sold are only relatively basic travel essentials for trainers, and the "non-essential items" sold in ordinary shopping malls are not so friendly.

Items such as special Pokéballs, running shoes, mobile phones, bicycles, etc., are all very expensive – or rather, the high price is normal for the working income level of most adults in this world.

Items such as skill machines and evolution stones are also sold in friendly shops, but the prices of these two items are not much different from the normal market price, and the price of evolution stones increases with the improvement of quality, and a high-purity fire stone may cost nearly 10,000 elf coins.

For the vast majority of trainers with financial support from their parents, these costs are not a big deal, at least most will buy a mobile phone before traveling. However, for Saya, the only thing that can be done is to silently save money to work hard to buy high-level Pokémon food.

Maybe you should play a dozen more ring tournaments or official tournaments to earn prize money?

But at my current level...... It is more likely to lose the family's wealth.

A chime at the front desk indicating the end of the treatment sounded. Saya shook her head, shook off the mess, and got up to retrieve the Pokéballs of Fire Dragon and Bobo.

At this time, the Pokémon Center, which was originally a little empty, gradually became more crowded. The young boys and girls gathered around the big screen on the right side of the front desk, and couldn't help but talk excitedly.

Seeing this, Xiao Ye remembered why the trainers had gathered here.

The "Dragon's Tooth Exhibition Match" that I saw on an LED billboard in Tokiwa City a week ago is about to start.

It was a battle between king-level masters, and even if it was just an exhibition match, it was a rare scene. Even if you can't go to the site in Tokiwa, at least watch the live TV - trainers with this idea already fill the hall.

As soon as he got the Pokéball, he was pushed aside, and Xiao Ye looked at the crowded gate. It seems that it is not easy to get out of the crowd now.

Anyway, if you're not in a hurry, just watch the live broadcast. Thinking like this, Xiao Ye inadvertently blended in with the onlookers.

The live broadcast site is the largest gymnasium in Joban City. The host has already heated up the atmosphere of the scene, and the full audience seats and bursts of shouts are enough to show the strong appeal and popularity of Canglong's Fang.

"Friends from the audience in front of the TV, pick up your mobile phone now, scan the QR code at the bottom of the screen, and you will have a chance to get a beautiful gift sponsored by the Dragon's Tooth team!" The host's sweet voice came from the stereo.

"Gift? Is it a rare Pokémon egg?"

"Or maybe it's the autograph of the Dragon's Tooth team!!"

The trainers gathered in front of the screen excitedly took out their mobile phones and pointed at the QR code displayed on the big screen, expecting that they would be able to get gifts from the Heavenly King-level powerhouse team.

"......" Xiaoye stood in the crowd without moving, silent.

The pain of not being able to afford a mobile phone.

Accompanied by rock'n'roll music, the cheers reached their highest point when the four figures appeared in the center of the stadium.

The four were of different heights and statures, but they were dressed in exactly the same way. A dark blue cloak covered the whole body, a wide hood covered the face, and each of them wore wide sunglasses on their faces, not revealing half of their true faces.

This is the practice of all Alliance teams: hide your identity, hide your face. Most of the clans and illegal organizations in the major regions are old enemies, and once their true identities are revealed, they will inevitably be retaliated against by enemies from all walks of life, and maybe even their family and friends will be implicated, even the Dragon's Fang, which is at the level of the Heavenly King.

The only person who didn't care about the identity exposure at all was the powerful team founder, the former chief search officer, Mr. Bai Ye.

Even so, the cheers from the audience still burst through the sky, and even the trainers who were watching the live TV broadcast around them became excited.

Dragon's Tooth [Japanese: 蒼竜のtooth, Souryuu_no_Kiba, English: Dragon_Tusk], this team was born about twenty years ago. Older trainers may remember that the original Dragon's Tooth was nothing more than a small team of three teenagers, often active in the Kanto and Johto regions against organizations such as Team Rocket. As time passed, the boys of yesteryear grew and their number grew, and to date, Dragon's Tooth had participated in countless large-scale battles against evil organizations and saved countless civilians in danger, and its reputation was almost comparable to that of the first team formed by the previous chief investigator, the Doji.

For young trainers, a team like Dragon's Tooth can be treated equally with the Four Heavenly Kings and Champions of the major regions, and they are all revered powerhouses. The whole stadium was full of shouts, and this scene was more like a popular singer was holding a concert.

However, a Heavenly King-level powerhouse can indeed be regarded as an idol-like existence for ordinary trainers.

"Behold, it's Captain Tenryu!"

"Ahhh

"I didn't expect the captain of the Dragon's Tooth to come this time, it's really worth it!"

"Speaking of which, Vice Captain Akari doesn't seem to have shown up for a long time. ”

...... So, how exactly did you recognize them?

Listening to the conversations of the people around her, and then looking at the four people on the screen who were all exactly the same height, Xiao Ye felt a little square.

Later, a large screen hanging in the center of the stadium showed the battle grouping.

Tianlong & Qingzhu VS karmic fire & shadow.

Of course, the real names of the four people are not used here, but the action code [Code_Name] used to fill in the registration information of the team members.

As the previous onlookers said, the man codenamed "Celestial Dragon" was the captain of the Dragon's Fang, a powerful dragon envoy, while Qingzhu, who was good at the water system, was one of the first three members of the Dragon's Fang. Karculi and Shadow are both members of the late team, but it has been more than a decade since they entered the Dragon's Fang to fight side by side.

Seeing the four people on the field divided into two groups, each going in a different direction, Xiao Ye only felt confused.

It's completely impossible to figure out who is who.

After the four of them sent out the Pokémon, the identities became a little easier to identify.

Pokémon appearances:

Celestial Dragon - Blood Wing Wyvern, Green Bamboo - Great Sword Ghost, Karmic Fire - Flame Chicken, Shadow - Self-Detonating Magnetic Monster.

When the battle began, neither the spectators in the stadium nor the trainers in front of the TV stopped talking, and they held their breath to watch the high-level battle that was rarely seen in front of them.

The confrontation between the two sides was extremely fierce, and every move and style carried an amazing power, not like an exhibition match at all. The smallest, as if he was still a slender boy, the karmic fire offensive was the most violent, the flames of the flame chicken were as domineering as the magma that burned everything, and Qingzhu, who controlled the big sword ghost, walked calmly and defended and counterattacked; the tactics of the shadow were precise and unpredictable, and he could often predict the opponent's actions one step ahead; Tianlong commanded the blood-winged wyvern to take care of the whole field, which could attack and defend, and dominate the direction of the entire battle.

However, all this was overshadowed by the last glory - as the battle drew to a close, the four reversed their attacks almost at the same moment when a large number of rocket team members in ambush tried to take advantage of the Dragon's Fang to attack the Pokémon in battle.

It was obviously a crisis without warning, but the four of them seemed to have been prepared, and they instantly changed from opponents to teammates fighting side by side. The four unpretentious skills are shot, but they fit each other like harmony, and they don't distinguish each other.

The brilliance of that moment was extremely dazzling.

The short exhibition game was over. As she watched the trainers around her talk about the final scene with excitement on their faces, Saya felt that she might understand why the clan was so much watched and loved.

A miniature army composed of more than 10 and less than 20 members with different functions, which is the standard definition of a warband. But the most important thing to pin on this number may not be function or strength, but "bond".

They have grown together, fought together against the enemy, fought side by side countless times in the battlefield of life and death, and thus developed a tacit understanding that does not require words, and each of them is strong, but only when they are together is the strongest form.

It's as unbeatable as a blow that turns the spearhead at the same time at the Tokiwa City Gymnasium.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this bond that the "clan" format has become popular with young trainers, and new teams continue to emerge until now. For the most promising junior trainers, the treasure called "Best Friend" is more cherished than the complex tactical value.

However, for the high-level officials of the Pokémon Alliance, the reason for advocating the vigorous development of the team is indeed because this form of teaming reflects a strong enough and valuable combat power. If it weren't for the success of the original Doji, the concept of a clan would not have been popularized on a large scale.

I wonder what the original intention of the former Chief Investigation Officer who came up with the definition of a clan was?As the crowd walked out of the Pokémon Center, Saya stared at the clear blue sky and thought.

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

Article 1: Mutual trust among team members is the first rule;

Article 4 Members of the team have the right to know, and should not hold personal heroism in times of crisis;

Article 12: No matter when the team is one, cherished friends are not allowed to give up for the rest of their lives.
