"Love, are you free at night?" On the other end of the line, Dave's magnetic, affinity-filled voice came.

"Well, I'm free." Said the beloved.

Nanako and the four girls went shopping for a day, and it is estimated that they should not be able to go shopping at night, the lover thought for a while and gave the other party a positive reply.

"That's great, I'd like to ask you for a favor, there's a qualifying trainer tonight who can't compete because of a Pokémon injury, and I want you to help with this match."

Hearing that his lover said that he was free at night, Dave on the other end of the phone suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

"These three days are a small long holiday, there are a lot of people watching the game here in the arena, although it is just an ordinary qualifying match, but you have to be cautious when arranging opponents, if the difference in strength is too big, there is no suspense in the battle and it is not fierce enough, and the audience is expected to have complaints." Dave added.

"No problem, but I'm going to race as myself in the evening, or I'm going to take the other person's name." After listening to Dave's explanation, the lover also expressed understanding.

"Don't worry, we don't play fake matches here in the arena, you can just participate with your own identity, we told the other trainer in advance, and the other party also agreed to temporarily change the opponent."

"Alright, I'll be here on time in the evening." The lover replied.

"Thank you, it's really helpful this time."

"Little things, you're welcome." Hanging up the phone, the lover suddenly found that there were five or six missed calls on the phone, which were from Nanako and Abe Rei.

————

"How's it going, still haven't you gotten through?" Minamoto asked.

"The other person appears on the call."

"Fight again."

"Hey, Abe Rei, where are you? No matter how you walk, you will be gone. I was about to call back, but the phone rang again, and it was Abe Rei.

"I'm sorry, my dear, are you still on Strange Things Street?"

"Well, I'm here, where are you guys? I'm going to look for you. ”

"We're ...... outside the Harmony Play Store"

I walked a little ahead along Strange Things Street, and soon found the toy store that Abe Li said.

"I'm really sorry, I didn't even notice that you were separated from us, my beloved."

"It's okay, I was watching something by myself at a stall just now and didn't pay attention, and Mr. Dave called later, so I didn't receive your call."

Seeing that Abe Li apologized again and again, the lover waved his hand and said.

"Mr. Dave, is that the arena director you said wanted you to sign up for?"

"Well, there is a game in the arena at night that I can't participate temporarily, in order to find an opponent of comparable strength, so the other party called me to ask if I was free at night and wanted me to participate."

"Did you say yes?" Abe asked.

"Well, I played all day today, and I didn't do much training, so it's good to go to the arena to play in the evening."

"Well, it's past six o'clock now, so let's go eat now, and then we'll go to the arena."

"Okay."

……

In order to prepare for the monthly exam, he hadn't come to the arena to play for a while, but fortunately, the school had various resources, and he didn't have to worry about buying food and energy cubes for Pokémon.

A while ago, he bought the skill disc of "Gravity" out of his own pocket, but there are still about 380w on the account, plus 11.6w on the side of the Bounty Hunter Guild, and he doesn't have to worry about money in a short time.

However, the more money is better, otherwise when you suddenly need money but don't have it, it will really make people very powerless.

After finding a place to have dinner, the lover stopped two taxis and rushed directly to the arena.

I was abused a while ago, Daisuke and Shinichi Kida had no plans to participate in the competition tonight, so they bought a ticket with Abe Li and the four girls to enter the audience entrance channel, and the lover also entered the contestant hall.

“……”

He informed Dave that he had come to the battlefield, and as soon as he hung up the phone, a staff member came over to take him to the waiting hall.

"Thank you." The main venue of the Golden City Arena has four waiting halls, which is twice as many as the Rainbow City Arena.

Walking into the No. 3 waiting hall, there were already many trainers in the hall at this time, and at a glance, I saw a lot of familiar faces, and they had fought before.

Seeing the beloved person who entered the waiting hall, a few people who knew him also nodded at him, which was regarded as a greeting.

The level of qualifying was much higher than that of matchmaking, and although there was no winning streak between the two sides, the battle was still ranked in the middle of the schedule.

"Friends from the audience, welcome to the Battle Night of the Golden City Arena, I am your old friend.

Tomorrow is our annual grand super energy festival in Golden City, are you excited? ”

"...... Uproar"

"Roaring ......"

At seven o'clock in the evening, the night of the battle officially opened, and with the commentator's opening remarks, the crowded, crowded viewing platform suddenly broke out into a tsunami-like cheer.

Tomorrow is the grandest festival in Jinhuang City, and everyone seems to have accumulated an inexhaustible and inexhaustible strength in their bodies, and the citizens who are extremely excited can't help but vent their restlessness at the moment.

No one in the audience had been working for a day, still wearing a suit and tie, and at the moment his face was also swollen and red, like a hungry wolf, whining and whining.

"All the citizens of Jinhuang City, shout our slogan, let us tonight, pay the highest respect to the tree of wisdom that sheltered the birth of our civilization, and to our wise and brave ancestors."

"Let's—" shouted hoarsely as he rode the self-detonating magneto, held up the microphone in his hand, and led the lead in a powerful tone.

"Let us use wisdom as a boat and cross the sea of delusion"

"Let's-"

"Let us use our courage as a sword to cut through the rock of ignorance"

"What is golden yellow?" Surrounded by the tsunami-like cries of the audience, the narrator's eyes were frenzied on the broadcast TV screen, burning like a blazing flame.

"It's wisdom—" Taidou raised his arms and shouted, all of them responding in a loud voice.

"What is golden yellow?"

"It's hope—"

"What is golden yellow?" shouted hoarsely, the narrator's voice was almost hoarse, and then the light in his eyes was particularly scorching.

"It's civilization, it's tomorrow, it's glory—"

"The tree of wisdom is forever rooted in our souls, and wisdom is with us—"

"The teachings of our ancestors forever shape our spirits, and grace is with us—"

"Golden Nation!!" Taidou's eyes were red, and he shouted his last voice hoarsely.

"The scorching sun that never falls—"

The audience of 50,000 shouted the final slogan in unison, and the beloved people sitting in the waiting hall all felt the tremor of the building under their feet.

The frenzied shouts echoed over the main venue for a long time, and the audience, who all stood up at some point, stood solemnly for a minute, and then sat down with a bang.

The audience sitting next to each other glanced at each other, whether they recognized each other or not, they unconsciously felt more close and identified with each other.

Several old people who were over the age of sixtieth birthday glanced at the young people around them with bright eyes, and the cultural core and spiritual imprint that belonged to their nation were passed down from generation to generation.

The beloved, who was deeply shocked in his heart, suddenly remembered that last night Nazi sat cross-legged under the sacred tree in the sacrificial square, with a sacred and solemn expression.

As a priest, you must stay under the sacred tree until the third day of the ritual begins.

Golden City, the metropolis and economic hinterland of the Kanto region, with its skyscrapers soaring into the sky, has left a modern impression on the hearts of people from the first time they saw the city.

However, after watching the scene performed at the main venue just now, in addition to being shocked, the lover is more of a reflection.

Wisdom and ignorance, modernity and backwardness, civilization and barbarism...... the inheritance of some things cannot lack a sense of ritual.

"Industrious, brave, self-reliant." The lover muttered in his mouth.
