━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

In the afterglow of the evening sunset, Merlin arrives in the Tsukimi district of Nibi City at the foot of Mt. Tsukimi, where most of the main buildings are shops, inns, and essential Pokémon centers for trainers and travelers who cross Mt. Tsukimi, while a little further away are research institutes and related facilities.

Walking through the noisy streets, most of the trainers passing by are discussing a series of recent events that have been born in various places. It seems that despite the official news control measures taken by the Alliance, it still can't stop the spread of rumors, but since there is no definite information, everyone makes a cameo appearance as a temporary screenwriter and writer, and they add fuel to the specious news they hear before telling others about it.

Along the way, Merlin heard four versions of the "Analysis of the Attack on the Nibi Museum", and three of them actually mentioned the Rocket Corps in different ways. Some versions say that the Rocket Corps attacked the museum to loot some magical object, others that the Rocket Corps attacked the museum to kidnap a scientist that Merlin had never heard of, and the version that shocked Merlin the most was almost exactly the same as what he had experienced.

He had to be amazed at the skill of people's brains, and at the same time puzzled by the fact that the Rocket Corps had such a big reputation. Since he was born in the upper class, it is inevitable that he is a little out of touch with the bottom.

Merlin slightly summarized what he had heard about the Rocket Corps, and now they were still in the business of snatching and stealing Pokémon, which was a great conflict with his previous knowledge of the Rocket Corps.

[Organized poaching and smuggling coexist with large-scale robbery and theft, what is this rocket army going to do? Merlin's heart was full of doubts, [On the one hand, he smuggled and sold cherished Pokémon through guò to make friends with the upper echelons for profit, and on the other hand, he did some things that were inferior and unpopular. What kind of organization is this? There are both bloodthirsty madmen and roosters and dog thieves who can't get to the top of the court...... I can't figure it out......]

Merlin continued to worry, [The main thing is that Inter Nai can't be contacted recently, if it is, it should be able to provide some internal information, that kid is the best at this kind of thing. 】

What happened to the Nibi Museum completely changed Merlin's opinion of the Rocket Corps, and he began to pay attention to the organization. Although he may not dare to confront that organization head-on, Merlin does not mind giving them some trouble on the premise of ensuring his own safety.

Thinking about the Rocket Corps, Merlin walked straight into the official friendly shop of the Alliance with its Blue Gate branches in all corners of the world, and he was going to buy some atlases and other things to guide him out of the labyrinth of moonlight passages, and collect some souvenirs along the way.

"Guest, if you want to safely pass the Guò Tsukimi Pathway, I highly recommend you to buy this newly launched 'Pokémon Expulsion Spray', which is an enhanced version of the previously well-received 'Insect Repellent', which is very different from the old version only for insects, the new Expulsion Spray has a miraculous effect on all attributes and types of Pokémon, and guarantees that wild Pokémon will not appear within a radius of 100 meters from you for a long time."

As soon as he entered the store's door, Merlin saw an enthusiastic salesman selling merchandise to two trainers.

The salesman in a formal suit was chattering with a large bottle of spray in his hand.

"It also has no effect on the human sense of smell at all, and it is completely harmless, and it is made from pure natural extracts......"

Under the flickering of the salesman, the two teenagers seemed to be a little moved by this product.

The salesman continued to flicker: "Buy now buy three get one free, a group of four bottles, each set is only 5,000 yuan." Each bottle is effective for up to twenty hours, with a normal spray lasting at least ten minutes......"

Soon, the two teenagers each paid for a set.

Merlin was unmoved and selected the atlas on the side, he had already taken a copy of "Moonsee Mountain Raiders" and a copy of "Analysis of Moonsee Mountain Mountaineering Paths", and was selecting a map about the Moonview Path.

"This customer, are you interested......" The salesman stood behind the counter and hooked his hand at Merlin's back.

"Nope." Merlin was very cold and simply refused the salesman's accosting, and then took a copy of "Moonlight Passage Guide" from the shelf and looked at it.

"There's a good thing here...... salesman continued.

Putting the passage guide into the shopping basket, Merlin picked up another copy of the "Atlas of the Moonsaw Pathway" and flipped through it. He didn't pay attention to the salesman's continued "seduction".

The salesman, who was not moved at all by Merlin, rolled his eyes and grimaced at Merlin, and turned to greet another customer who had just entered.

Merlin intently selected the various brochures, and when he had enough, he went to the other shelves to browse for other products.

The salesman dedicatedly and dedicatedly sold the so-called expulsion spray to every customer who came in.

Gradually, Merlin became aware of the salesman. Because the salesman was able to get everyone to pay for the spray, during this time, not a single customer who walked into the store except Merlin did not pay obediently.

His words are not very tempting and incendiary, and he himself has no additional selling points and skills, even the narration of the commodity and a little persuasion, so monotonous that it will be successful.

"You've noticed. Wizir said.

Merlin stood by the shelves and watched with his peripheral vision, when he saw a middle-aged mountain man with a big waist and a round waist paying for five sets of sprays.

"This human is capable of seducing humans," Wizel said, "and his language has a certain hypnotic power, which can easily prey to people who are not strong-willed, defenseless, or have no ability to target. 】

[No wonder I'm fine.] Merlin went to pay for the money with his shopping basket.

[You human beings, you have abilities but don't know it, you have talents but you don't know how to use them. It was a waste that such a useful ability could be used by him to sell these counterfeits that he knew at a glance! If it's for evangelism or ......] Wizel chattered.

Handing the basket to the cashier, Merlin began to receive the items.

[Well, yes, if he's from the Rocket Corps, then I can understand why those guys are so fanatical.] Merlin absentmindedly replied to Wizel.

[Not yet, not yet, but if it is a user of similar abilities who are more advanced than him, it is really uncertain......] Wizil really took it seriously, and began to analyze it in a similar way, [Didn't you say that many of those great people in history were gifted with outstanding abilities, and they used their natural abilities to do something earth-shattering......]

Disgusted with Wizil's verbosity, Merlin simply didn't listen to Wizil's chatter.

After putting away the goods and swiping the card to pay the money, Merlin left the store directly.

[I have always believed that the 'ability' given by God to human beings is to fight against our demonic beasts who can use the power of nature. However, the vast majority of human beings are too weak to be useful, and only a few people feel that they have abilities and make use of them. Wizil forcibly broke through Merlin's unilateral shield and continued to chatter: "So, ah......]

[I knew you wanted to bring the conversation to this point. Merlin directly interrupted Wizil's words, "I said, if you don't use it, you don't need it. 】

[Don't be like this, your talent is what many people dream of but can't do, why waste it? ] 】

Ignoring Wizier, Merlin set his sights on the convenience store down the street and continued shopping.

After Merlin finished shopping the shops, pharmacies and other buildings on the street, it was already night, and he estimated that he still had energy, so Merlin decided to raid Tsukimi Mountain at night.

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

Dark mountain roads, swarthy caves, crescent moon hanging in mid-air.

Merlin stood in the distance, looking out at the cave by moonlight.

"It's so dark." Merlin said, "It seems horrible. ”

"I suddenly realized that none of you know how to be light, and none of you have learned the 'flash' trick." He said to himself, "There is moonlight on the outside to brighten the hall, but there is no light on the inside." ”

A sleepy-eyed Frog and a scrappy Dalles stood at Merlin's feet, and Caimen was sleeping and Monardo was resting, so the two of them were absent for the time being.

"Forget it, Frog, you better come back." Seeing that Frog fell asleep again, Merlin had no choice but to take it back.

"Darles, it looks like the journey through the cave is up to the two of us." Merlin said to Dalles, holding in his left hand a flashlight with an elongated handle that was used as a light for his cave explorations.

Dalles carried a bone stick and looked full of energy.

Turn on the flashlight and adjust the brightness to Cheng Dù, who can see things but not too bright, led by Dalles, and Merlin plunges headlong into the dark moon passage without hesitation.

After passing through a short section of the narrow cavern, the surrounding environment immediately became much wider, and the inside was not as dark as Merlin had imagined, but there were faint fluorescent flickeres as far as the eye could see, and some of the handwriting was also faintly bright.

"A place where there is a lot of human activity for a long time is really not so barbaric." Merlin took a few steps forward, and was confronted by a large stone carving, with words written in light paint and road signs.

"Turn left to the stone hall and open land," Merlin muttered the words above, "turn right to the moon passage and stone corridor." ”

Merlin continued: "For your safety, please do not go to unexplored areas that are not signed, if you want to get to Guò Tsukimi Mountain, please follow the green light directions, if you want to visit the entire Tsukimi Path, please follow the other directions. There will be a large number of bats and Pokémon everywhere in the pathway, so please be careful to protect yourself. If you are in distress, please take out the illustrated book and press the call button. Be careful not to litter, please keep the passage hygienic ......"

"Hey, it's good to ruin the atmosphere with such a 'tourist reminder' that suddenly came out." Merlin, who was a little speechless by this notice, groaned, "Isn't this a park, okay?" ”

Deciding to ignore the notice, Merlin turned right with Dalles with a flashlight and began to explore the Tsukimi Pathway.

In fact, the situation behind the cave is still much better than the gate, except for the signs or stone carvings where there are fluorescent lights or light word reminders, the cave still tries to maintain the original natural state.

Although Merlin does plan to travel through Tsukimi Mountain to Hualan City, it doesn't mean that Merlin doesn't want to have a small expedition inside Tsukimi Mountain, and by the way, see if he can find a few newcomers to join the team.
