After escaping from the little old man of the Pokémon fan club, which can be difficult to get around, Merlin decides to continue his sourcing activities. However, because he heard that the dead leaves turned out to be the headquarters of the Pokémon Fan Club, Merlin couldn't help but be more vigilant and pay more attention, and always guard against the perverted Pokémon fans who might suddenly pop up.

Thankfully, the next few stops were safe.

The remaining supplies on the list dwindled, Merlin's expenses climbed and the credit card he used soon ran out of balance.

Merlin, who was walking out of a specialty shop in Dead Leaf City, took out the list again and habitually checked it again.

"Anyway, dried seafood and seaside specialties are not on the list," after carefully checking the list, Merlin felt that he had once again bought something unplanned, "Do you want to return these fish for what?" I can't eat so much......" He turned his head to look at the shop, and now through the glass shopkeeper, the middle-aged aunt, was looking at him with a smile on her face, and now Merlin was behind her, she raised her hand and waved at Merlin affectionately.

"Forget it......" put away the list, and by the way, dismissed the idea of returning, Merlin walked towards the next place to buy.

The summer sun shone directly into the streets, and the asphalt, metal, rocks, and rubber rose in the scorching heat of the hot sun, while also emitting an unpleasant stench. The chaotic voices of the bustling crowds are mixed with the advertisements of the shops, the background music and the roar of passing vehicles.

This is the center of the city with dead leaves, and although it may not be too far from the sea in a straight line, there is not even a trace of the smell of the sea here under the wrapping of buildings, people and machinery.

After less than a day's work, Dead Leaf City had already made Merlin feel sick and uncomfortable. The curiosity and wonder for this highly automated, modern city has long since vanished, and now he is only sick and afraid of the big city.

“…… Tomorrow is the surf trials......" A few passers-by in the distance were talking.

“…… I'm really looking forward to this year's grand occasion, I heard that this year's prizes are particularly generous...... "A few passers-by in another place are also engaged in the same topic.

“…… Seats are booked, yes, second class. Remember to bring more heatstroke prevention things, it's so hot this year......" A young girl who was talking on her mobile phone seemed to be talking about the same topic.

“…… I'm looking forward to it, it's all a big event...... "A few women who seemed to be shopping were talking about similar topics.

"Surfing Tryout...... The prizes are huge...... Sea Moon ......" From the conversation of passers-by who eavesdropped on the east ear and the west ear, Merlin distilled a few key words, "In tomorrow, it seems to be very lively." Merlin, who wanted to join in the fun but was afraid of the crowd, suddenly became entangled.

He struggled as he continued on his way.

"Surf tryouts at summer beach! Surfing Trials at Summer Beach! Contestants are recruiting! Contestants are recruiting! Today is the last day of the special recruitment, and it is the last deadline~~~" Suddenly, there was a loud noise from a very richly decorated pergola on the side of the road, and a woman's voice shouted vigorously, "Each registered contestant will receive a souvenir." The top 20 have generous prize money to take. The top 10 all have great gifts. Third place will receive a rare dragon Pokémon Ink Seahorse! The second place winner will receive a cherished mount, Pokémon Ride! The first place winner will receive the specially cherished dragon Pokémon Hackron!! The woman continued to solicit with great emotion: "On the last day, the registration deadline~~ Don't miss the opportunity and don't come again~!" ”

The commotion immediately caught Merlin's attention, and he stopped to look at the huge pergola surrounded by young men. The banner on the top of the pergola reads "Withered Leaf City Festival, Prologue to the Moon of the Sea, Special Registration Point for the Withered Leaf Bay Summer Beach Surfing Tryout", and there are many large billboards around it, which are all illustrated and textual promotions such as "First Place Prize Hack Dragon" and "Second Place Prize Ride the Dragon".

"There are no restrictions on age, gender, or status. Applicants should show a valid identification device, trainer cards, illustrated books, and identity magnetic cards are all OK~~" The woman continued to shout, "The registration fee is 5,000 people." Now you will receive a beautiful souvenir if you sign up on site. When you register, please also report the Pokémon you will use for the contest. We do not limit the type and size of Pokémon that can be entered, but please consciously abide by basic common sense, although we will not refuse the registration of Pokémon such as the Great Rock Snake, but we will not be responsible for any accidents during the competition~~"

"Oh, just now, just now, the 5,000th participant appeared~~ Come on, let's present a specially prepared souvenir to this lucky boy! It's fun to get a prize before you even participate, right!? ”

Listening to the noisy scene and the shouts of the women who were working hard to advertise, Merlin suddenly didn't want to participate in this so-called surfing tryout. Of course, there are also reasons why the Pokémon he has on hand can't surf. Duck could barely hold up Merlin, but he couldn't surf yet, and he could only paddle in the sea with Merlin.

"A surfing competition with 5,000 people...... Merlin somewhat made up the scene of the sea occupied by dense humans and Pokémon. I shuddered.

"Don't miss it when you pass by~~" The woman is still working hard to promote, "The final deadline is here, and the prizes are very rich~~"

Merlin, who had little interest in the tournament anymore, shook his head and left.

At this moment, there was a sudden shrill sound of a siren in the distance, accompanied by the roar of the engine getting closer and closer and the siren whistle and Miss Junsha's unique voice: "Everyone beware of fraudsters!" ”

Merlin stopped again.

A new round of loud and loud noises of higher decibel sounds was set off near the huge pergola, and then the loud horn, which had been ringing incessantly, suddenly burst into a deafening hiss, which shook Merlin and felt dizzy.

Then a thick black smoke curtain suddenly burst out from the pergola, and this black smoke screen that seemed to be substantial quickly filled and enveloped all the surrounding qiē. The thick smoke screen completely closed the view, and Merlin faintly smelled the smell of the sea from this smoke screen.

"Stop, don't run!" Miss Junsha roared loudly, "Help catch her, this person is a liar!" ”

Just when everything was in chaos, a figure suddenly ran from Merlin's side. Merlin subconsciously wanted to catch it, but gave up on second thought

"Hee-hee, I've made another profit." The figure burst out with a pleasant laugh and said to himself, "People in big cities are really easy to deceive." It's time for us to retreat, little chubby. "It was a woman talking in the smokescreen, and the voice was the same as that of the pergola that had been trying to attract guests.

Standing a little further away from Merlin's side, she unleashed a Pokéball and threw it to the ground, freeing a tiny Pokémon. As soon as the little creature appeared, it began to swell violently and float out of thin air, and soon swelled to about a half meter away and floated in the air. After the balloon-shaped Pokémon floated to about the top of her head, the woman jumped up and grabbed a part of it. Immediately after that, the balloon-like creature climbed sharply, and soon floated into the sky with the woman.

Here, Miss Junsha was shouting wolfly: "Don't mess up, don't get excited. She and her colleagues were busy comforting the restless crowd, "Wait, wait." We'll deal with it soon. ”

Merlin shook his head, untied Dracula's ball from behind his waist, and estimated that the girl and the balloon must have flown far before dropping it and releasing Dracula.

"Clear." He commanded softly. (That is, the variation of the flight system [Clear the Fog], I still think one word is enough to describe the effect and function of this special move)

Dracula, hovering above him, silently flapped two pairs of wide flesh wings, fanning a soft breeze, but miraculously, in this gentle breeze that seemed to have no power, immediately made the smoke screen so thick that it seemed impossible to disperse around it disappear.

The breeze blew louder and stronger, and soon covered the entire area covered by the smoke screen, and in an instant the whole area was completely renewed, and even the air seemed to smell much better.

"Come back." Seeing that the obstacle was cleared, Merlin raised the ball and retrieved Dracula, who was hiding from the sun. At the same time, his gaze moved upward, and he quickly locked on to the woman who had fled between the buildings.

She grabbed a chubby little foot and floated erratically. As if sensing Merlin's gaze, she even waved her hand at Merlin, and at the end of the day, she seemed to fly a flying kiss.

"Ah, over there!" The sharp-eyed Junsha also appeared as a female fraudster who had not completely disappeared, she screamed anxiously, ran to the police motorcycle in a few steps, and jumped out as soon as she stepped on the accelerator, "Don't run!" Leave a roar of rage.

Her colleagues began to reassure the innocent passers-by who finally realized that they had been defrauded, busy listening to their grievances, busy counting losses, and busy making notes.

At this moment, a gust of wind blew in front of him, and a somewhat crumpled leaflet flew in the wind. The gust of wind stopped abruptly as it reached Merlin, and the leaflet fell impartially at Merlin's feet.

Looking down, Merlin saw the front of the flyer, "Summer Beach Surf Tryouts, by Withered Leaf Harbor", and under the huge headline was a cartoon-like picture of a teenager in swimming shorts, a swimming cap, and goggles hanging around his neck stepping on a surfboard with a smile on his face and making a V-sign gesture. It is also written underneath, "The Prologue Event of the Moon of the Sea of Withered Leaves, this year there are luxurious prizes".

Bending down, Merlin reached out and picked up the leaflet and flipped through it.

"So the prize is really Hackron...... he whispered softly, "It's going to be tomorrow, but the registration has already closed......"

"Tomorrow, tomorrow...... It's not a bad idea to check it out, right? Then he folded the leaflet and stuffed it into his pocket, Merlin turned around and continued strolling, "It feels like this tryout is asking me to come over, an invitation from the sea, and it's not impossible to go to an appointment." Merlin immediately postponed the training camp on his own initiative, deciding to go to the baths in the harbor area tomorrow to see the surf tryouts that had been calling him.

[The pages of fate slowly turned, and the wheels of history rolled forward......] Wizir suddenly appeared again, [Well, it should be appropriate to accompany such a passage here. 】

"It's idiot to ......," Merlin chuckled, "I hope there won't be any accidents tomorrow." He laughs, "I seem to be pretty good at getting caught up in trouble when I started traveling. He was attacked by terror when he visited a museum in Nibi, visited a doctor in Hualan and was affected by the notorious madman organization, and then he rushed to watch a vicious battle, not to mention in gold...... "He raised his left hand, and the back of his index finger swept over his upper lip, "I went shopping here to buy something, first met a perverted Pokémon fan, and then encountered a street scam......"

"It's been a very colorful travel career." Looking up at the blue sky, Merlin sighed, "What a fulfilling life." Although he said words of gratitude, a wry smile appeared on his face.

[Who wished for a career as a trainer with ups and downs in the first place? Vizel stinks Merlin, [God is quite considerate of you, not only giving you the ideal trip but also giving you special discounts, so that you encounter a situation that many people may only hear about in their lifetime. 】

"Hehe......" Merlin had to continue to smile wryly.
