The headquarters building of the Kanto Regional Alliance.

Level 1, Conference Center, Participants: Highly Confidential, Minutes Class: Destroy Immediately.

"This series of events is absolutely not allowed to spread!" An old man slapped the table and roared, "Find a relatively reasonable version of the events that have occurred in various places to the local people, and control the mouths of the survivors and witnesses!" It must not spread throughout the region or even around the world! ”

"Control of public opinion! Media ban! Information Blockade! No coverage of the incident is allowed in print, audio-visual or online. Another old man added: "A qiē force must be mobilized to block the news!" ”

"Pacify the families of the victims, give them the greatest benefits and bereavement benefits internally, and silence their tongues." One middle-aged man added, "At the same time, take care of the injured and their families, treat them as best you can, and keep them all shut up." ”

"We should do our best to activate emergency plans and countermeasures." Another middle-aged man said, "Gather a special search team to investigate, and send a special ambulance team to support." ”

"At the same time, we need to think about new expansion plans." Another elderly man spoke, "This series of incidents has exposed our shortage of manpower in many places. ”

"In short, find a way to minimize the impact of the incident." Another old man said: "Do your best to take care of the aftermath." ”

"Don't let it spread to the top! The criminal police must not be allowed to interfere in this matter! The old man slapped the table and said, "One qiē has to be solved within us." ”

"Agreed." A cadre of people and others spoke in unison.

In this way, the heavy events that occurred in the city of Nibi and elsewhere were prevaricated on the grounds of accidents, natural disasters, etc., and no one knew what happened at that time, except for a very small number of lucky survivors and a small number of witnesses.

Nibi City, the backyard of Xiaogang's house.

Merlin was sitting on the grass and staring at the sky. Today is the fourth, and it has been two days since the tragedy, but Merlin's mood has not been calm for a long time.

Regarding this incident, the official explanation given by Nibi City is that the Nibi Museum was destroyed by the earthquake disaster and secondary explosions lured by wild Pokémon, and the death toll reached more than 300 people because the entire museum and related buildings were razed to the ground. The official of the alliance reminds the general public that the wild Pokémon in the mountains have been very irritable due to the change of residence recently, so please be careful......

For this explanation, the vast majority of people in Nibi City actually chose to believe it. Even Xiao Gang, who was late enough to participate in the rescue, was no exception.

This is probably because the museum is so far away from the residential area, and the people in Nibi City did not hear the fierce shootout, but saw many police cars rushing to the museum, and then there was a loud noise, and the museum simply collapsed.

When there is only one voice in your ears, you can only choose to believe it.

At first, Xiao Gang was worried that Merlin would be buried in the museum because of his recommendation, but when he heard the explosion and rushed to the ruins, Xiao Gang appeared in the crowd of onlookers, which couldn't help but make him breathe a sigh of relief.

Merlin's explanation to Xiao Gang was that he didn't go to the museum, but wandered around the city, and he rushed over to join in the fun when he heard the explosion.

"Merlin, you see in the newspaper that another survivor has been found from the rubble." Xiao Gang held up a newspaper and waved it at Merlin. He thought Merlin was frightened by the tragic situation, so he had been trying to comfort him for the last few days.

"But it's a miracle to say, thirty-five survivors were found from the ruins that day, and then six more were revealed, and they really didn't die." Xiao Gang did his best to cheer up Merlin.

[Actually, you can add one more survivor.] Merlin thought.

"If you don't go, none of them will survive. Wizil Road.

[It should be 'Without you, none of them, including me, would have survived.' Merlin corrected.

[Not really, right? Knocked down when you encountered this kind of thing? I thought you would become mature after seeing the Ouray region, but I didn't expect it to be so unproductive. Wizil said angrily, "Do you want me to find you a vomit bag?" Or do you want a shoulder to lean on? 】

【......】Merlin was speechless.

[Didn't you teach me this?] Well, what 'because you have seen the dirty, you will cherish the good', what 'it is worth fighting for because the world is imperfect', and what 'because of the evil that shows the beauty of innocence'. Why, where are all those original sayings? 】

【……】

[Enough rest, it's time to get back on the road.] 】

[I'm so weak......] Merlin said suddenly, [Spirit, **, and will are so weak in every aspect. 】

[Do you stupid know that you are weak? Knowing Merlin's temper, Wizil continued to enlighten Merlin in a roundabout way.

[I'm so powerless, so weak, so cowardly, I've always been just running away. 】

[Hey, hey, the more you talk about it, the more strange it gets, do you want to go back to the past? Vizel became angry, "You cheer me up! Cheer me up right away! Don't forget that you're now Caiman, Monador, Flogg, and Dalles' trainers! Who was the fool who made the pact with them in the first place? Why can't you escape it now?! 】

【……】

[I warn you one last time, don't do it again!] Do you understand? 】

【……】

[I know that you resent your weakness, and I know that you blame yourself for not being able to save those irrelevant human beings. But that's not a reason for you to run away! You've saved thirty-five human beings, old and young, male and female, and none of them would have survived without you. You and I only have the ability to save thirty-five of them, and no more will do, and you don't need to take on the responsibility beyond your own ability, that would be too tiring. 】

【……】

[Ability and responsibility are equal, you are not a hero who saves the world, because you do not have the power to save the world. If you only have a heart to save the world, you will only exhaust yourself to death! Being able to save the people in front of you and redeem what is in front of you is already a hero, and being able to protect what you hold dear is already a hero. 】

【……】

[You are not the male protagonist of the movie, and there is no such heavy burden for you to carry. If you pick up everything you see, you'll be crushed. 】

【Vizil ......】

[What are you doing, figured it out? 】

[Suddenly you are very good at persuading. 】

[Of course, if you don't always be ready to enlighten you with a stupid person like you, you will really do a lot of good things.] 】

Thank you. 】

[Why are you so polite all of a sudden?] 】

[With you, with you, I am so lucky and happy......]

Lying on the grass with his eyes closed, feeling the breeze blowing, Merlin showed a rare smile.

"Whew," Xiao Gang also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw a little gang like Merlin, "It's better if it's okay." Putting away the newspaper, Xiao Gang turned back into the house, leaving Merlin alone here to sort out his thoughts.

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

Waving goodbye to Xiao Gang again, Merlin packed up his mood and set off again.

This time, the target is Tsukimi Mountain, a famous scenic spot and adventure mecca in the Kanto area.

Mt. Tsukimi is the main peak of the Tsukimi Mountain Range, a branch of the huge and steep Nibi Mountain Range that surrounds the entire Nibi City area, and is named "Tsukimi" because in ancient times, a huge meteorite that resembled the moon pierced the sky and fell into the Tsukimi Mountain Range. And to this day, it is still the largest meteorite fall in the Guandu area.

That wonderful huge meteorite is called "Moon Stone" or "Moon Stone", around this meteorite has been spread many moving or terrifying legends, and many people have entered the Moon Mountain and the Moon Mountain to explore carefully, but to this day, no one has found this romantic product from the universe.

Although this giant moon stone, which is believed by humans to greatly increase the power of Pokémon, has been found, the occasional fragment has strengthened the determination of countless people to find it.

Known as the "Lunar Stones" or "Lunar Fragments", these fragments are one of the nine known evolution stones that allow Nidolino, Nidoran, Pipsqueak, and Fatding to evolve.

Since the Tsukimi Mountain Range, especially the main peak, Tsukimi Mountain, is the main production area of the Tsukimi Stone, it is also an important economic pillar of Nibi City, which has a series of buildings such as the Pokémon Center, the Moon Research Center, the Observatory, and the Excavation Center at the foot of Mt. Tsukimi, and it is now a new town.

However, whether it is the Nibi Mountain Range, which is known as a cliff, or the relatively gentle and low Tsukimi Mountain Range, it is difficult for humans to climb it directly. Therefore, travelers, adventurers, and trainers mostly pass through the Moon Passage, a mountain cave dug by Pokémon and renovated by humans.

By the way, the altitude of Mt. Tsukimi is the highest among the Nibi Mountains, and as long as the weather conditions allow, even in the remote town of Shinshin, it can be directly visualized.

After a long detour, Merlin rode his bicycle to the ruined and completely isolated Nibi City Museum, far away from the police cordon, Merlin mourned for a while to mourn the innocent people who died here, and then pedaled his bicycle and left Nibi City firmly.

Leaving the deserted city and riding along the road, the paved asphalt road turned into a dirt road in the mountains and forests, so Merlin had to get off his bicycle and fold it back into his backpack and move on foot.

Perhaps because of the proximity to the city, from time to time on the road, you can see some trainers and breeders who have not been affected by the incident in the slightest catching and fighting in the open space and grass, and after walking for a while, some trainers took the initiative to find Merlin and ask for a battle.

In order to change his mood, Merlin simply commanded Monardo to knock down the boy in shorts, and the victory just now and the instant defeat obviously made this young man suffer a huge psychological gap, and he couldn't slow down for a while after being defeated by Merlin.

Merlin's display of strength immediately aroused the interest of the guys around him, most of them were local trainers and breeders from Nibi City, such as the insect catcher boy and the shorts boy, and after seeing Merlin's fierce attack and hearing that he had a gray badge, they all rushed up to ask for a challenge, so Merlin had to slow down and command the four companions to defeat those children, teenagers, and youths all of them.

After wasting most of the day, Merlin finally made it to the outskirts of the trainers and began to climb the rugged mountain road.
