14. Ghosts
The Pokémon League has been in place for more than 100 years, with branches in each region, and it has become a rule to hold tournaments in December every year. The Kanto region is still relatively backward, and some areas are said to have events such as not only federation tournaments but also gorgeous tournaments. However, the most important thing is the league conference, and the other competitions will be held and finished by December.
And the qualifications of trainers are also regulated by the league.
Originally, the Alliance required a child from a small town to be eligible to travel when he reached the age of ten, but he had to wait until the three of them passed the local report and the Alliance assigned the appropriate three families. In other words, if there is a child in the town who has a birthday in January, but only three children who have reached the age of 10 in December, they can only qualify as a trainer in December.
To prevent this from happening, the Alliance has also introduced a bill to go to neighboring towns to get initial Pokémon. As long as the local household registration is not available within three months, the three of them can submit an application and go to the neighboring town to get the initial Pokémon with friends from other towns.
Of course, this also led to the dilemma that there were just three people in the town, and a child from other towns came, causing the locals to lose their qualifications.
Now, over the years, the regulations have been continuously improved, and basically as long as the child reaches the age of 10 and wants to become a trainer, he or she can travel in less than a month.
However, it is still rare for a small town to have 4 people born on the same day, the same month, the same year, and it is still a joke day like April Fool's Day.
Just because it is stipulated that the identity must be at least ten years old, even if the trainers start in the same year, there may be a difference of eleven months.
Therefore, the fierce Ash Xiaomao and passers-by want to participate in this year's quartz conference this year, and there are only eight months from April to December, and they have to work hard.
And now nearly a month has passed, and the fierce suke has only accepted the little fire dragon (attracted?) Two Pokémon, 0 badges. Well, there are seven months left to do it with an average of one badge per Pokémon per month, and you have to train tacit understanding and enough levels to do well in the Quartz Alliance.
Of course, for the murderous suke, the pressure? Inexistent.
So tonight was another good dream.
……
The twenty-second day of the Tokiwa Forest dungeon.
After his morning routine of exercising and eating, Kosuke retrieved the baby fire dragon and the green caterpillar, leaving Nidoran outside. After putting away the tent and kitchen utensils, he motioned for Nidoran to lead the way to the "ruins" of the large-billed finch territory.
This time he re-entered the territory of King Nido, much faster than last time, and after only half an hour of wandering, he saw the big tree he had embedded before under the leadership of Nidorang. The main thing is that he can't see the difference at all in other places, only this tree is more obvious.
Nidoran returned to his homeland, visibly much more excited, walking and yelling, but none of the Pokémon appeared.
Ten minutes, twenty minutes...... Nidoran's excited heart slowly cooled. Walking is also devoid of vitality, and the speed is slower than the green caterpillar dance. Even if no other Pokémon saw him, he wanted to stay in the land a little longer. He didn't know how long it would take for him to come back after leaving this time.
Yaksuke knew that this must have been an order from the overlord King Nido, otherwise it would be impossible not to even see the other experienced Nido Lonny Dolan and the various Pokémon that lived. But he can't say it's wrong. He's just a kid and has no experience in education or anything. All he could do was to be nicer to Nidoran in the future and make him stronger.
One person and one pet walked silently in this quiet wood. Only then did he find that the trees were taller and taller the inside, and he had never found the depression in such an environment before, and it was difficult for the light to shine through the leaves to illuminate the earth, inexplicably, and there was a sense of tragedy in his heart.
No matter how big the territory is, it will always arrive.
After an hour, Nidoran finally led the scorched earth with him.
This magical place all shows the talent of Fengwang as an artist and the precision as a mathematician.
A standard circle.
It was as if a black hole had been formed by a scorched earth, in the middle of the realm of King Nido.
Kosuke and Nidoran stood next to half of the big tree, half of the tree was gone, and the other half was strong and alive, and the section was charred.
One step further is the territory of the Large-billed Sparrow.
Jisuke just stood silently, looking at this scorched earth, and stood for a long time. Nidoran looked at the murderer, but he didn't understand what he was thinking.
This black forbidden area is basically flat and neat, only the middle one has a protrusion. If you look closely, you can see that all the blacks are fine powders, stacked on top of each other so thickly that you can't even see the gaps. Even the air seems to have stopped flowing.
All the grass, trees, and Pokémon were all reduced to ashes under the sacred fire, and Kyosuke didn't want to enter the area and disturb their sleep.
Just as he was about to turn away, he saw two spirits floating towards him from the forbidden area.
The murderer subconsciously took back Nidoran first, and then solemnly treated the two ghosts that were slowly drifting in.
Since the discovery of a large number of ghost-type Pokémon about a hundred years ago has been confirmed, and now the ghost type has become one of many attributes, and people's ability to accept ghosts and ghosts has also become stronger. But as for the reason for the appearance of the ghost system, various experts also have different opinions.
There are three claims that dominate the mainstream.
One is that every life will have a soul after death, some souls will disappear over time, and some powerful or fused with other souls will slowly transform into ghost-type Pokémon. As a result, there are always many ghost-type Pokémon wandering around the graveyard. And the war a hundred years ago was just a catalyst to speed up the entry of the ghost system into the world.
The second is that the ghost system comes from the underworld. The souls of the dead are going back to the underworld, but if they can go through the test, they can turn into ghost-based Pokémon and return to the real world from the dark corners. This is a saying that young people prefer.
The third is that the ghost system is the product of the evil organization's transformation experiment on Pokémon, so it appeared in modern times, and it can also hatch eggs.
All three theories have a certain number of supporters, and no one can convince anyone.
And now the fierce face is serious, naturally not because he is afraid of ghosts, but because...
He himself is an ordinary person, and he doesn't have superpowers, and there is no way to harm the ghost department at all!
Just as the two ghosts floated in front of the gunsuke, they didn't get out of the black area.
Seeing this scene, Jisuke was also relieved. Like the Earthbound Spirit is trapped here, he doesn't have to fear being possessed by a curse or something.
Then the ghost spoke: "Ahh Ahh ”
It turns out that ghosts can also talk! Or the big-mouthed finch language!
"Wait! You're saying there's your child in there, but it's dying? So what are you waiting for, take me there! When he came back to his senses and figured out what they meant, he couldn't calm down anymore.
He couldn't accept that a fragile life could easily disappear before his eyes and he couldn't do anything about it! What's more, it's still a child!
