Now that you've reached Road 3, you might as well go to Dark Ash City first. So the next day, before dawn, I took the moon and the new recruits, Ali and Nana, and set out on the road to Dark Gray City.

In order to familiarize myself with the fighting style of my new companions, I asked Ali and Nana to fight in front along the way, and the moon pressed them down.

Walking along the No. 3 road, there are basically no wild animals in the forest, and there are more rookie trainers along the way, who are about twelve or thirteen years old, and the youngest is ten years old. I can only say that the setting of the world itself, I look fifteen or sixteen years old in my early tens, I am 20 years old in the real world, and after crossing over, the age on the trainer certificate is only 16 years old, so it is more realistic to think that the protagonist in the game starts to adventure at the age of ten.

Most of these trainers had just embarked on the journey, and because they couldn't beat Xiao Gang, the owner of the Dark Gray City Gym, they could only find trainers of comparable strength nearby to compete with each other to train their strength.

I also didn't refuse to come, and let Ali test the opponent with a poisonous needle first, looking for an opportunity to solve the battle with two consecutive kicks or corner collisions. Nana is the same, only because there are no horns, so the horns are replaced by gnawing.

Of course, there are no powerful characters in these trainers who can't beat Xiao Gang, and after fighting all the way, Ali and Nana's level does not increase quickly, but they are familiar with the combat methods I designed for them, and the cooperation with me in the battle has gradually become smoother.

"Luo, you're pretty powerful, you shouldn't have a problem getting badges with your strength." A little girl told me that her name was Airi, with flaxen hair draped over her shoulders, her pupils tingle green, wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and a sky blue skirt. After all, most of the trainers here use common Pokémon in the vicinity, such as green caterpillars, small Lada, and walking grass, and Fat Ding is particularly rare.

Airi just used Fat Ding and Bobo to fight me, and Bobo successfully evolved into Bibi Bird after the battle.

"Fat Ding is my partner who grew up with me since I was a child, and he easily defeated Xiao Gang's little fist stone, if it weren't for his lack of physical strength, he shouldn't have lost to the big rock snake." When she said this, she couldn't help but feel a sense of pride. "So I later subdued a Bobo, hoping to use it to defeat Little Fist Stone, so that Fat Ding could fight Big Rock Snake one-on-one. Thanks to you, it's evolved now, and I'm going to challenge the Dark Grey Gym again. ”

So I thought I hadn't been to Dark Ash City and couldn't find a way, so I naturally followed her to Dark Ash City.

Along the way, I pointed out to her that there was a problem with her tactics, Fat Ding only used rolling and serial slaps, Bo Bo only used blowing, and when encountering the same novice trainer, of course, everyone was each other, and there was no problem with it, and once they challenged the gym, they would inevitably be found flawed.

At my suggestion, she tried to have Fat Ding use singing and immobilization to control her opponents, while Bobo used her flying advantage to distance herself and constantly use sand splashing to disrupt her enemies.

"It's a lot easier to fight like this, thank you!" After winning a few fights along the way, Airi thanked me.

"You're welcome, I was able to find Dark Grey City thanks to you." After all the way to the competition, the dark gray city is already close at hand.

At my request, Airi first took me to the Pokémon Center in Dark Gray City to store the Pokémon for restoration, and then immediately took them to the store to sell the stolen goods. After selling the gold beads, pearls and star sand, he got a total of 7,500 yuan in cash, and after replenishing the wound medicine, burn medicine, antidote, paralysis medicine, and bought ten more Poke Balls, and there were 4,000 yuan and some odd coins left in his pocket.

"Trainer is really a money-burning profession." While lamenting the loss of assets, I watched Airi play with the star fragments that I originally planned to sell for 6,000 yuan.

"yes, yes, I'm running out of pocket money when I go out." Arri said and stared at me warily, "This star fragment is mine, you must not fight its idea again." ”

"Don't worry, if I say I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you."

Hearing me say this, Airi happily put the star fragment in his hand into his pocket: "Don't cry poor, if you are willing to sell the two fossils in your hand, it is not a big problem to sell them for a small 10,000 yuan each on the black market." ”

"I didn't think you knew a lot."

"Of course. By the way, I saw that you didn't plan to sell the fossils, so you probably want to try to resurrect them, do you? Arri asked, looking at me with a smile on her face.

There's nothing to hide, and I directly admit that one of my goals in Dark Grey City is to try to resurrect two ancient Pokémon, and challenging the Gym is secondary.

"Surely you don't know where the Science Museum is, do you? Hurry up, I'll take you. Airi ran forward before he could finish speaking, and I had no choice but to follow.

Fortunately, the dark gray city is not large, and a few minutes later, a large two-story building appeared in front of us.

I squatted on the ground and gasped: "Aren't you in a hurry to challenge the gym, why are you wasting time taking me here?" ”

"Cut, it's not that you can't find anywhere, if I don't bring you here, you won't get lost." Arri glared at me with his hands crossed and said, "Besides, even if you find here, someone else will help you restore the fossil?" You think you're me? ”

"Didn't you see that you know you quite well here?" I looked Ari up and down carefully.

Airi suddenly blushed and covered her skirt: "Where are you staring at it!" Then without waiting for my answer, he ran through the gates of the Science Museum, leaving me to get up and follow with a look of wrongdoing.

"Listen to me." I finally caught up with Airi, and I quickly said, "I'm not that kind of person. ”

Airi's face was already red to the base of her neck: "Okay, don't talk about it, it's here, don't talk nonsense later." After saying that, he added: "In particular, I am not allowed to mention what I just did." ”

Is it tolerable or unbearable, I don't think I will have a chance to explain this matter after I don't explain it clearly, as a new generation of young people under the red flag, I have recited the eight honors and eight shames since I was a child, and I grew up keeping in mind the core values, I didn't expect that one day I could be seen as a little hooligan, so I blurted out: "I really didn't mean to take advantage of you just now, I just..."

The door of the research room in front of me suddenly opened, interrupting me, and looking at the middle-aged man in front of me wearing thick-bottomed glasses, dressed as a researcher, and holding a work card on his chest that reads "Doctor Masashi Tanaka of the Dark Gray Science Museum", I felt the flesh around my waist being pinched by Airi vigorously, and Airi whispered in my ear: "Shut up." ”

I also seemed to understand what was coming, and I honestly stood there and didn't dare to speak.

"What took advantage of?" The man in front of me stared at me fiercely.

"It's nothing, it's nothing, Dad, you heard me wrong." After being pinched again, Airi had dragged him into the research room, just locking me in the doorway.

"I see." Only then did I realize how much mistake I had just made, and I immediately made excuses for myself, which was to blame for the door in front of me, as a research room, how could the sound insulation be so poor.

Standing in the doorway and listening to Airi tell her father about her experiences in the laboratory, I was bored for a while, and simply wandered around the museum.

The Dark Ash Science Museum has a lot of exhibits. The first floor includes a fossil exhibit featuring rare Pokémon from ancient times. The second floor is the Space Expo, which includes a model of the space shuttle and a meteorite that fell on the surface of the moon.

About an hour later, Airi and her father found me, who was in front of the fossilized pterosaur skeleton and wondered why they hadn't dug up the secret amber.

"Your name is Luo, right, I heard that she has received a lot of guidance from you along the way, and she has caused you trouble." Airi's father held out his hand to me with a smile on his face.

I hurriedly shook his hand: "Uncle, you have won the award, they are just learning from each other, and they are very good at caring for her." ”

Airi looked proud: "Even if you can speak, my father has promised to help you try to restore the fossil, take it out quickly." ”

I hurriedly took out the carapace fossils and shell fossils: "Then trouble you, uncle." ”

"You're welcome, I'm not good at elf battles, so I can't help you, and it's okay to do this little thing. Why don't you go to the Gym first, and if you succeed in a while, I'll send it to you. ”

I was relieved to hear this, and quickly said goodbye and left. Walking to the door, as if remembering what had just happened, Airi blushed and kept urging me to hurry up, and at her urging, we went back to the Elf Center to pick up the Pokémon, and after a brief lunch, we came to the door of the Dark Gray Gym.
