Standing on a small hillside, Merlin looked out over the whole of Zhenxin Town.

Probably the most iconic building in the town is the one on a small hill at the back of the town, with a four-story red domed building surrounded by several annexed buildings, and a huge windmill behind it.

"That's probably Dr. Ohki's research institute, I saw it in my grandfather's photo, so I think it's there." Merlin muttered to himself.

Dr. Oki himself is an authority on Pokémon research, and his research institute is also very well-known in the entire world, at least in the Kanto and Johto regions, his research institute is the largest and most professional. Almost all Pokémon-related scholars are proud to have visited the Oki Research Institute, and all young Pokémon researchers aim to study here, and even many trainers use it as a necessary place to travel. After all, many of them are likely to fall in love with Pokémon through Dr. Guò Oki's Pokémon lectures and become trainers.

"It is said that the biggest place of the Daiki Research Institute is its backyard, and nearly eighty percent of the land in the entire Zhenxin Town belongs to the research institute, including the surrounding mountains and rivers." Merlin casually talked about his knowledge of the Oki Research Institute, "Dr. Oki breeds Pokémon as much as possible to imitate the natural state of the wild, and conducts research. ”

[Then why not study directly in the field, so that the information obtained is not more accurate?] Wizier came out again to make a big fuss, [If you want me to say that he is still not hard enough, I remember that many scholars are engaged in field research all day, what can he gain by hiding in the institute all day? 】

Merlin didn't bother to talk to Wizel. He took out the senior ball and put Caiman, Monador, Frog and Dalles back in turn, who were still outside.

Merlin in the wild, let them have fun, but in densely populated towns, he puts away all the Pokémon. The main reason for this is to get into less trouble and reduce the chance of Pokémon getting lost in the city, getting into trouble, and so on. Merlin's rule is to be high-profile in the wilderness and as low-key as possible in town.

But not long after he set foot on the land of Zhenxin Town, he encountered "good" things.

In front of them, several children were chattering around a slightly older boy who was directing a sturdy mosquito frog and a Nidolino to fight.

"Mosquito coils, water guns!" The boy's voice was crisp.

The mosquito coil frog, known as the mosquito coil, also moved very simply, only to see its hands stretched forward and sprayed two fierce water jets from its palms, and the water jets merged into one in mid-air and shot towards Nidolino.

Nidolino obviously didn't respond to such a quick attack, and was hit by a water gun before he even had time to dodge, and he looked a little dizzy for a while.

"Hurry, that Nidorino is already cowering!" A young insect catcher behind the boy spoke.

"Okay." The boy threw out the ordinary baby ball that he had been holding in his hand.

"It's like this, make it weak first, and then throw the Poké Ball out."

With the sound of "pound", Nidolino was put away by the baby ball, and after two "slaps" on the ground, the button on the baby ball flashed a burst of red light, indicating that it was willing to be bound by the baby ball and willing to be subdued.

"Hey, hey!" The boy proudly touched his nose with his thumb, "Well, so you can get Nidolino." Why don't you pick it up, the ball is yours. The boy said to a little girl beside him.

The little girl hurriedly ran over and picked up the ball.

Behind the young man, others also praised in unison: "It's amazing!" It's really worthy of Xiao Chi! The best trainer in town! ”

The boy called Kochi grinned and accepted everyone's compliments.

"Thank you, Xiaochi, I will definitely nurture it well." The little girl ran over with a Poké Ball containing Nidolino in her hand, and said in a slightly panting voice with deep gratitude and respect.

"No, but you must treat it well." The boy said with a smile.

[The crappy Nidolino was beaten like that by a water gun, but fortunately Monador was not so frustrated. Wizil scoffed at this.

[The best trainer in Shinshintown?] It's kind of interesting. Merlin became a little interested in the boy named Xiao Chi.

Just as he was thinking, Xiao Chi also appeared Merlin standing in the distance.

He ran over a few steps and asked, "Traveler, you should also be a trainer, right?" Are you interested in a fight? He even took the initiative to challenge Merlin.

"Okay." Merlin nodded slightly and agreed. At the same time, he also looked at this young man who was more than half a head taller than himself, about 1.6 meters taller, he was also thin overall, but he was not a malnourished sick seedling like Merlin, but lean, with both strength and spirit. He wore a red baseball cap on his head, and the messy black head was revealed where the hat could not be covered, and there were quite long bangs in front of it. He wears a red short-sleeved jacket and a black tank top, a pair of faded jeans on his legs, and a pair of worn sneakers on his feet. At first glance, he is a standard young trainer full of momentum and drive.

[It seems to be a kid from a poor family.] And from Xiao Chi's dress, Merlin directly judged that he would not be too rich.

"Okay! Great! There's a battle to watch! The surrounding imps cheered.

"The rules of the game are one-on-one, and I will use my mosquito coil, what about you?" Xiao Chi ran back a few steps to make way for the battle, and the mosquito coil frog called Mosquito Coils also stood in front of Xiao Chi and showed a look of eagerness.

"Well, I'm using Nidolino." Merlin smiled.

This sentence immediately caused a burst of discussion among the surrounding ghosts.

Xiao Chi was also slightly taken aback, but when he saw that Merlin didn't look like a fake, he immediately became serious.

“Reignthe

earth！ Merlin threw Monardo's high-level ball and made it appear in front of the crowd.

As soon as it appeared, it immediately stopped the little ghost's discussion, because Monardo was hardly comparable to the Nidolino just now, whether it was the physique, the mental head, or the texture and brightness of the armor covered by the body, Monardo threw his unconventional kind a few streets away.

"Can you fight?" Merlin asked, "You can attack first." ”

"Okay, I'm going to do it." Xiao Chi nodded, to be honest, this was the first time he had faced such a strong Nidolino, so he was inevitably a little apprehensive.

"Mosquito coils, water guns!" The same scene was repeated, but it had no effect on Monador, who took the water gun trick with a single horn on his head with a relaxed attitude that bordered on ignorance. Compared with Kaimen's water cannon, this kind of Cheng Dù's water cannon is not even qualified to wash Monador's face.

"Horn Collision." Merlin gave the order lightly.

"Mosquito coils, next!" Xiao Chi also immediately gave the order to deal with it.

As soon as his words fell, Monador rushed to the mosquito coil frog with a spur, and the single horn that flashed with purple glow directly hit the mosquito coil frog that could not react and knocked it away.

"What?!" Xiao Chi couldn't help but exclaim in surprise when he couldn't accept this kind of scene. The imps were also amazed and chattered at the same time.

And although the mosquito coil frog was not lightly injured by this move, it obviously had not lost its ability to fight, and it quickly stood up.

"Are you alright?" Xiao Chi asked with concern, and after getting an unhindered answer, he began to roll his eyes and think about the next countermeasures.

[Not poisoned? Merlin was a little surprised, "Then go on." 】

"Stinger." The next command was gently blurted out.

"Mosquito coils, use the freezing light to stop it!" Now Merlin has launched an offensive again, and Xiao Chi is busy directing the mosquito frog to counterattack.

As soon as the mosquito frog's hands merged, a light blue energy ray shot out of it, and this ray struck towards Monador with a faint white cold air.

For this kind of attack, Monnado dodged and continued to stab, and soon another stinger hit directly, knocking the mosquito frog out again.

"Mosquito coils!" Xiao Chi exclaimed in surprise, and hurriedly ran over to inspect with a worried face.

"It's broken, it's poisoned." From the faint purple halo revealed from the blue skin of the mosquito coil frog, Xiao Chi could tell at a glance that his beloved mosquito coil was poisoned, and he turned his head to look at Monardo and Merlin, his eyes were full of unwillingness.

"Do you want to continue?" Merlin asked lightly.

"I lost!" Knowing that the mosquito coil frog, which was in worse condition after being poisoned, would not be the opponent of Nidolino anyway, Xiao Chi simply chose to admit defeat.

"Xiao Chi lost."

"That Nidolino is amazing."

The little ghosts around him talked a lot, and Xiao Chi knelt beside the mosquito coil and stroked the mosquito coil frog's body, as if this could relieve its pain after being poisoned.

"Eat this, it will detoxify." Merlin stepped forward and handed Chi a sweet peach. This is what he just turned out of his backpack.

"What is this?" Xiao Chi asked, he seemed very unfamiliar with this relatively common tree fruit.

"It's a sweet peach, or it's a peach fruit, it's a kind of tree fruit, it can detoxify, and the taste is also very sweet." Merlin explained.

"Really?" The small sweet peach exudes an attractive sweet fragrance, which caused Xiao Chi to swallow two mouthfuls of saliva, and the fingers holding the fruit couldn't help pinching this incomparably soft little fruit slightly, but he was afraid that the fruit would be damaged by too much force. For a while, he seemed a little at a loss.

"Give it a drink, it won't be a problem." Merlin said.

"Hmm." Saying that, Xiao Chi carefully fed this little fruit to the mosquito coil frog, and the effect was really fast, and after swallowing this sweet little fruit for a while, the mosquito coil frog regained its normal complexion, and its body no longer trembled violently due to pain.

"How embarrassing is this, even if I lose, I will let you break the bank." Seeing that the mosquito coil was fine, Xiao Chi hurriedly stood up and thanked Merlin, "I don't have anything to give back to you, I can only say thank you." ”

"No, after all, it's poisoned because of me." Merlin stretched out his right hand to Kochi, "Merlin, from Fengji Town, Pokémon trainer. ”

"Ahh......h ”

"It's a pleasure to meet you." Merlin said sincerely. He rarely sees humans differently, not only because of what they do, but also because of how they feel about Merlin. And Red is the only person Merlin has wanted to meet and associate with since his travels.

"Mm-hmm, I'm happy too." Xiao Chi said with a sincere face.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

After saying goodbye to the imps, Red volunteers to take Merlin on a tour of Shinshin, but when Merlin talks about his desire to visit Dr. Ohki, Red is embarrassed.

"I really don't know what that weird-tempered old man has to visit?" He looked very dissatisfied with Dr. Ohki, "People always come to visit him, is he so famous?" ”

"Of course." Merlin said, "But I'm not in a hurry to go, show me around this town first, it's pretty and it feels good." This sentence came from the bottom of his heart, and there had never been a place where there were many human settlements that gave Merlin such feelings.

"Yes, yes," Chi suddenly jumped up again, "I know the town well, let me lead the way." ”

Later, under the guidance of Chi, Merlin visited the small restaurant "Shinshinya" run by the famous beauty of the town, Ms. Hanako, where he enjoyed a hearty and delicious lunch (it is difficult for Merlin to be so impressed by the food of others with his very good taste and good gestures), and also met the amiable, gentle and kind Ms. Hanako, in which Hanako mentioned that she had a son who was the same age as Chi and would embark on a journey as an official trainer in April this year.

This surprised Merlin, who had a hard time believing that Chi was not an official trainer. Although the mosquito coil frog cultivated by Chi was quickly defeated by Monardo, judging by Merlin's vision, he still recognized Chi's strength, and it was rare to meet breeders and trainers along the way who were of the same level as Chi.

After that, Chi took Merlin to visit the town's dim sum house, visited the town's post office with a lot of ** and Bibi Birds (the post director turned out to be Dr. Ohki's own brother), and finally visited a Pokémon beauty salon, but unfortunately the owner was not closed at the gate, according to Chi, the shop seems to be opened by Dr. Ohki's granddaughter.

[This town should be called 'Oki Town'......] Merlin summed up, [Doctor Pokémon, Mayor Town, Postmaster, Police Commissioner, and Pokémon Doctor seem to be famous people from the Oki family. It's a family that once changed the name of the town. 】

The name was changed to a young trainer named Shinshin Oki who won the quartz tournament a few decades ago, and after returning to his hometown, he took over as mayor and did a lot of good things for the people, and after his death, people changed the name of the town to Shinshin Town to commemorate this great man.

Soon the time came in the afternoon, and Akaya could only tell Merlin that all the famous places in the town had been visited, and only the Oki Research Institute was left.

"Are you really not going?" Merlin invited Chi out again.

But Chi didn't know what he was afraid of, and insisted that he not go.

"Forget it, I've been running for a day today, and I'm tired and it's time to go home." Chi said, "Thank you so much today, but I'm really embarrassed that you paid for the day." The shy Chi inevitably blushed a little when he mentioned this.

"It's okay, I've tasted so much food anyway, especially Ms. Hanako's food is so delicious. Speaking of which, I once saw the introduction of this real house in the program evaluation of 'All Closed Secret Realms, Delicious Restaurants in the Nameless Street', and I thought it was an exaggerated compliment, but I didn't expect it to be so delicious. "Merlin has never been stingy with compliments on deliciousness.

"Yes, yes, I don't have to say anything about Aunt Hanako's cooking, she is also a very good person, and she has always taken care of me." For Hanako, Red is not stingy with praise.

"Forget it, you should visit Dr. Ohki first. You know where I live, and if you stay in town for a few days, you can visit me at your time, but if I'm not at home, it's usually in the forest to the west of town. Chi said.

"Goodbye then." Red waved goodbye to Merlin.

"Goodbye." Merlin waved his hand as well, and saw Chi embark on his way home.

"Now, it's time to visit Dr. Ohki's research institute."
