My name is Shintaro Yusa and I'm 10 years old and I'm a rookie trainer from Tokiwa City.

I was born into an ordinary family with ordinary parents, and I started my journey as a trainer on January 1st of this year. Now I am living an ordinary study life in a not-so-ordinary college.

The other day, I successfully passed the academy's mid-term test and officially became a member of the Koreisha Red Team - although I don't feel much about it yet.

He said that he became a full member, but in fact, all he was doing was going to school.

The formation method of the Koreisha Red Group is the same as that of the Alliance's Executive Department, which is a team of five, and me, Nana-san, Kasuke, and Chinatsu-chan, who passed the exam together, were incorporated into the same team. I don't know who our last teammate will be.

[17 June 1000, 10:30 a.m., Air and Land Red Zone, Harbor]

The winds in the air and land ports are not mild. The short boy was blown to the point that he almost flipped three times in a row, but even so, he could still hear his old father's loud voice breaking through the wind and reaching his ears with incredible clarity.

Looking at the man who was dancing on the back of the dancing swan while roaring "Shintaro ahh

Looking at the strange expressions of the people around him, he longed to grow wings and fly out to cover Kenichi's mouth.

Is it really that hard to meet quietly and unobtrusivelyQAQ?

"I know you've been young for forty years, but can you stop making loud noises in public, Dad?"

Before Kenichi could land and stand firmly, he was dragged out of the port by his son, who was covering his face. He touched his chin and forced a grievance expression with his big and three thick face, "Son, your father is not yet forty years old this year......

"That's not the point!"

Shintaro struggled to resist the urge to scratch his head frantically in full view of everyone, and finally could only sigh weakly.

Korn Radiant Academy does not have the habit of holding parent-teacher conferences after midterm exams, after all, the students have reached the age of ten and reached adulthood. Kenichi came to Konglu on a whim this time, and suddenly wanted to see his son's face, and it was said that he also wanted to see the face of his old acquaintance, Mr. Hakuya.

When Shintaro heard his father's amazing words, he could only quietly wipe his waterfall sweat - seeing that the face of the final boss of the Radiance Society was actually incidental, was he really not afraid of being thrown from the air and land?

"Really, son, you are so cold to your old father, we haven't seen each other for half a year. Kenichi walked forward with a big grin, but unfortunately he didn't go in the right direction, and his son made a ninety-degree turn, "But I see that you are quite energetic, how is campus life?"

"It's okay. Speaking of this, Shintaro couldn't help but put on his half-moon eyes again, "Can't you just talk to me before you send me to school?" and suddenly left me in such a strange place, I thought this was the base camp of some kind of villain organization. ”

"It's boring to say no. Kenichi smiled at his son with a mouthful of white teeth, "How does it feel to explore, surprise or not, and not exciting?"

Shintaro: "......"

Spare me, Father.

[June 17, 1000, 10:55 a.m., Red Zone, Trial Forest]

Mr. Shiraya, who is called the final boss of the Radiance Society, is based in the white zone in the center of the air and land. It is surrounded by other areas, and is the only area on land and air that does not have an air port, and the only way to reach the white zone is to take the contact bridge.

"The Liaison Bridge in the Red Zone is at the end of the Trials Forest. It is forbidden to fly on Pokémon on land and air, so we can only walk on our feet. Shintaro briefly explained, taking his father into the dense jungle of midsummer.

"Hmm. Ken nodded his head and stared at Shintaro for a while, "I understand the reason, but what are you doing with the King of the Mountain?" Especially the King of the Mountain's eyes looked strange and terrifying, as if he was about to pounce on him at any moment and give him a claw.

Shintaro looked back at Kenichi and said calmly, "Tear Claw." ”

"Hey, hey, hey—" Ken watched the sharp claws of the Panshan King enlarge in front of his eyes, and he was so frightened that he hugged his head and squatted to defend himself, thinking that his good son had entered a rebellious period and wanted to murder his father. When the sound of collision sounded from behind him, Kenichi realized that the target of the Ripping Claw was not him, and when he turned his head, he saw a poisonous pink moth being beaten away by the King of the Mountain.

"Now you know why I released the King of the Mountains, right?" Shintaro said innocently, "This is the 'Trial' Forest. ”

"You said it earlier. Kenichi stood up and patted the dirt on his trouser legs and grumbled.

"It's boring to say no. Shintaro copied his father's original words a few minutes ago with a blank face, "How does it feel to explore, is it not surprised, is it not exciting?"

Kenichi: "......"

My son's rebellion broke my heart.

Pokémon in the Trials Forest will spontaneously attack anyone who passes by, even the teachers of the Radiant Academy. Kenichi was startled at first, but after all, he was a man who had seen the big world, and he quickly calmed down.

According to what he knew about his son Shintaro, in this kind of dangerous forest, Shintaro should be screaming and holding his head while running away, but the scene in front of him was completely different. Shintaro looks like he is strolling leisurely, and he is familiar with directing the Pokémon of the King of the Mountains to repel the surprise attack, and he doesn't look nervous at all. Kenichi looked at the calmness between the thin boy's eyebrows, and suddenly even felt that he didn't know his son a little.

"Yes, son, if you have grown, you dare to enter this kind of forest alone. Like a man!" Kenichi praised with joy, and the hand that was clasped to the Poké Ball at his waist was released.

"This is where we go to class and we come back several times a week. Shintaro said weakly, "Now that we see that the Trial Forest is about to vomit, who can still be nervous." ”

"Oh, isn't it?" Kenichi raised his eyebrows, "Then your dad won't help clear the way?"

Shintaro nodded quickly. He was really afraid that his father would be excited and turn into a lumberjack and destroy the forest too badly, maybe he would be fined.

Although Kenichi is a bit unreliable, his credibility is absolutely full - if he doesn't make a move, he won't make a move, including walking to the end of the trial forest, and when facing the fierce Centipede King, he still stands behind for a long time, and he doesn't mean to help at all.

And Shintaro doesn't feel like he needs help from others.

"Long time no see. Recalling the embarrassment of the first time he and the squad leader Kasuke teamed up to pass the trial forest, Shintaro still had the heart to smile at the centipede king who dutifully performed a hideous and angry face. The Panshan King, who had consumed a lot of physical strength, followed the beam back into the Poké Ball, and was replaced by another tall and burly figure.

"Blastoise, water cannon!"

The deep blue column of water was full of strong momentum, and when it hit the rushing Centipede King, it staggered to a halt. In the low roar of the blastoise, the splash of water turned into a hazy mist, and the brown-haired boy had a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, and Kenichi looked at his son's familiar and unfamiliar side face, and was a little dazed for a while.

Somehow, he suddenly remembered the past a long time ago. He was just a fledgling child, ignorant and reckless, wielding a worn-out fishing rod and thinking he was holding an indestructible sword. He was just an ordinary newcomer with no special talents, but he was fortunate enough to meet a group of amazing seniors.

They have only fought side by side once, but those few short days are a memory that Kenichi Yu will never forget. The blue-haired boy kept his composure at all times, using accurate analysis to open the way for the team, the purple-haired boy possessed demonic strength and could induce visions of heaven and earth with a wave of his hand, and the man in the white kimono wielded a wooden sword and walked at the forefront, always the immortal soul and symbol of the team.

The little boy with the fishing rod in the past looked at the tall backs of his predecessors with admiration, and that respect has not changed until now.

After the castration of the water cannon was exhausted, the water blastoise took the initiative to meet it, and his hands were firmly against the big horn of the centipede king. The intercepted Overlord of the Trial Forest angrily spewed out a poisonous needle, only to be missed—the Blastoise retracted its head into its shell the moment the attack arrived.

Immediately, the Blastoise suddenly exerted its strength, and the Centipede King was lifted into the air and suffered a strong back fall. When it bounced up in anger and tried to chase it, it found that the Blastoise had returned to the Poké Ball with the red light.

On closer inspection, the two uninvited guests had clearly stepped onto the liaison bridge.

"I'm sorry. Shintaro sincerely folded his hands and apologized to the angry Centipede King, "Let's go first." ”

The brown-haired father and son walked across the liaison bridge one after the other. With the experience of smuggling last time, Shintaro didn't panic on the way, and Kenichi rarely maintained his father's majesty - if his feet weren't fluttering and limp.

Although Shintaro had never set foot in the White Zone himself, he also knew that it was the residence of the administrators, not a place to play, so he sent his father to the entrance and prepared to return. Before parting, Kenichi took out a Poké Ball.

"Hey, Shintaro, remember this guy?"

Shintaro looked at the blue figure in the translucent spherical shell and said in surprise, "Could it be ...... Is that the egg that didn't hatch before I left?"

"That's right. Kenichi opened the Poké Ball, and a small water leaping fish probe appeared at Shintaro's feet. Perhaps remembering this familiar aura, the little blue guy threw himself into Shintaro's arms out of sight, rubbing against his chest. The boy's fingers touched its cool and soft skin, and he suddenly felt like his heart was about to melt.

"You only have four Pokémon right now, right?" Kenichi said with a smile, "That's right, this water leaping fish will be handed over to you." He's my giant swamp son, and he'll be your helper!"

"Is it really possible?" Shintaro was overjoyed. He had been in charge of taking care of the fish ball before he set off on his trip, and it was impossible to say that he didn't like it.

"Originally, I was a little hesitant, but seeing that you are already a reliable trainer now, I am relieved to hand it over to you!" Kenichi patted Shintaro on the shoulder so hard that the boy grinned and felt like he was going to crack his bones.

"Keep up the good work! Daddy believes you can ......"

"I'm sure I'll be a 'brave man', right?" Shintaro interrupted Kenichi by rubbing his shoulder, "It's always a cliché about the second of secondary school, and I'm tired of hearing it with Brother Tatsuya." ”

Without waiting for Kenichi to stare at him and make an unhappy look, Shintaro smiled and bumped his old father's back, "Don't worry, Dad, even if you don't say it, I'm going to do it." ”

The short boy puffed out his chest and smiled a rare sunny smile.

Because this is not a dream imposed on me by my father, but a dream of my own.

Shintaro and his father are separated at the entrance of the White Zone. Before leaving, he looked curiously at the buildings in the White Zone, wondering what kind of person the owner of the floating island was, Mr. Hakuya—he had never seen the famous former chief investigator in person.

As a result, his wish came true a few hours later.

[June 17, 1000, 16:14 p.m., Radiant College Teaching Building, Red District, Konglu Red Zone]

Shintaro's luck has not been very good, and he belongs to the type where the winning rate of one in two is drawn three times in a row but there is never a prize. So, when the gentleman, who had only seen him in the photo, pushed open the door of the study room and beckoned to Shintaro, the boy almost stiffened into a zombie, and was finally dragged out by his tablemates.

"That, that, Mr. Whitenight......" Shintaro seems to have become the timid newcomer when he first came to Konglu, and he almost tied his tongue in eight hundred knots.

Before he could say a word, the person on the other side had already burst out laughing, "I'm not a man-eating ghost, I'm too nervous." ”

Every young man who aims to be a vocational trainer must be familiar with the appearance of the former chief search officer, Xingyu Baiye. Although he has been retired for many years, his appearance is almost unchanged from before - white hair and golden eyes, smiling, a clean white kimono, and the wooden knife hanging from his waist swayed with his movements, as if he was about to fall in the next second.

"Okay, calm down. The former chief gentleman patted the young man on the shoulder very familiarly, and succeeded in making the young man tense, "I have come to issue you the first task. ”

"Eh......" Shintaro reluctantly regained control of his tongue in surprise, "You came to release the task yourself...... Is it?"

"Hmm. It's more troublesome to let someone else paraphrase it, so it's better for me to say it myself. The white-haired man spread his hands very bluntly, completely without the consciousness that as the final boss, he shouldn't easily show his face for trivial matters, and he lost his fashion value in minutes.

Shintaro had imagined that the place where he would take the mission might be some kind of tall metal room with black technology, and the walls were all covered in green code, but the truth was not as cool as in the manga. The former chief search officer was completely undetailed, dragging the brown-haired boy casually to the corner of the corridor and talking.

Thinking that this was his first mission as a full member, Shintaro reluctantly pulled himself out of the state of "seeing Mr. Hakuya's real person, ahh

"This year's Quartz Alliance is about to open in three days, and according to the investigation, a group of criminals are lurking in the competition and want to disrupt the order of the competition. In the end, Mr. Boss's account was concise and easy to understand, and only then did it seem like a seasoned investigator, "I'll send you the details later." Your mission is to investigate the motives of the sleepers and stop their wrongdoing, and in order to facilitate your actions, I have arranged for you to use the identity of the contestants as a cover. ”

Shintaro struggled to receive a bit of too much information, and hesitantly asked, "Am I the only one?"

"Of course not, it's your entire squad's mission. But the five of them acting together are too conspicuous, and only you and your fifth teammate will enter as players to conduct preliminary investigations. ”

"Ahh Shintaro exclaimed softly. It turns out that their team has been formed?

"Come, meet your partner this time. The white-haired man smiled and clapped his hands, pointing to the end of the hallway.

A young man with short dark gray hair was walking towards this direction step by step. His expression was indifferent, his eyebrows were cold, and when he looked into the familiar silver eyes, Shintaro couldn't help but open his mouth wide and shivered excitedly.

Although he quietly prayed that his fifth teammate was an acquaintance, he ...... The person in front of him is inevitably a little too "familiar".

Shintaro will never forget this guy who almost knocked himself down.

Transfer student Yuji Fukaya.
