Light Red City.

Light red is the color of pink flowers. This delicate city nestled among the hills is famous for its caryophyllus flowers, and it is because of its light red name that so many caryophyllus are planted, or because of so many caryophyllus. This is no longer exquisite.

The light red of late April is the perfect time to enjoy the scenery. At this time, all the caryophyllus flowers all over the mountains are vying to bloom. Mainly pink, sometimes there are purple red, bright red, pure red, pure white, and compound colors of caryophyllus compete in the mountains and fields, and the warm breeze of early spring blows their blooming petals, blowing out bursts of subtle and delicate fragrance. The petals of the caryophyllus under the sun are like saucers, gorgeous and colorful, the petal surface flashes with a little bit of velvet light, and its center is a ring of beautiful black rings, and the caryophyllus dances wantonly with the breeze, like a fairyland.

The city of light red is the city of flowers, the city of pink, and the city of life and death. Once the home of ninjutsu, it is a secret village full of monuments and staleness. Today, it's a newer town, a metropolis with a modern atmosphere.

Light Red City is close to the coastline southwest of Kanto, and even if the weather is not very clear, you can see the deep blue of the sea from the towns above sea level. In the southernmost part of the city is the busy large wharf of the light red, where cruise ships, passenger ships, giant cargo ships, merchant ships, and large warships and warships used to be stationed.

As the most important large-scale city in the southwest of the Guandu region, the modern light red city is not only a key node for shipping and material transit, but also an important station for tourism and exploration, and an important hub for communication and connection between Guandu and the southern islands. Here, the charm of the southern country can be seen everywhere. Like any other new metropolis, the huge light red city is busy, crowded, and noisy, and perhaps the pink caryophyllus that dots the city and its surroundings is the only thing that is old and quiet.

Merlin wasn't too used to the monotonous pink in his eyes, especially the rich aroma of caryophyllum in the air, which made him a little unbearable, and he even pulled on the mask around his neck to cover his mouth and nose to barely breathe.

The environmental discomfort and Merlin's peculiar boredom with big cities made him unable to visit the city at all. After hastily buying a local tourist brochure and a city map from a small roadside bookstore, Merlin began his shopping trip in a hurry, and he was probably a little too in-depth to describe his visit to Light Red.

It had been a long time since Merlin had done a serious shopping since he successfully broke through Mr. Zang's Forest Gym, and although he had briefly replenished his stock at the Aster's Friendly Shop, it was completely inadequate for Merlin, who was probably a "shopaholic" symptom.

Pharmacies, bookstores, convenience stores, department stores, markets, shopping streets, fish markets, vegetable markets, ...... Merlin's figure frequently appeared in various shopping places in the light red city, and the refilled wallet dried up again with the naked eye......

To be honest, Merlin doesn't have the slightest talent for financial management. Perhaps it would be more accurate to say that he only has a talent for spending money.

Shopping, in addition to being able to stuff Merlin's backpack and empty Merlin's wallet, Merlin also gained a lot of gossip while shopping. Some of it was gossip between young trainers, while others were gossip between bored residents. Some hearsay gossip was worthless to Merlin, while others made Merlin think for thought.

One of the rumors: the light red gym that was suddenly frozen up.

This rumor was overheard by Merlin while looking for fresh ingredients on a shopping street in the downtown reddish area. A burly mountain man who sells mountain delicacies has a sneaky, vague face that Obasang would say to anyone who wants to hear strange stories.

"Two days ago, the entire Light Red Dao Pavilion in the mountain was frozen in the whole place!" The mountain man who was talking also made exaggerated gestures, "It's cold around, tsk, it's all seeping into the cracks of the bones!" It is said that some people have heard the sound of loud birdsong coming from there! ”

Merlin was completely about this rumor.

According to this rumor, it happened to be shortly after Merlin left the Gym. How could it be so coincidental that he left the gym with his front foot, and the light red gym with his back foot was inexplicably frozen? Is it really a decoration for the orange of the Light Red Gym? That's a real special trainer, a hard-to-find poison master in the world.

Really, you can't make up nonsense......

Rumor No. 2: Twin Islands with a strong earthquake.

This rumor was heard near the fishing port dock in the southern part of Merlin Light Red City. At first, a group of sailors and fishermen were idling, and later a few men in swim trunks and bikini who had just come ashore also confirmed the rumors.

“…… It was a terrible time......" A sturdy sailor with a pipe in his mouth sat on a wooden crate and boasted to his companions around him, "The sky is full of dark clouds, and the swarthy clouds are blacker than ink, and they seem to weigh down on your head......"

He took a deep breath of the tobacco in his pipe, and his face was lit up by the uncertain light of the fire in the pipe.

"Suddenly a huge wind blew and blew everywhere in a chaotic and chaotic manner. There was a hissing and wailing in the wind, a sound more terrible than the most horrible sound you could have imagined! ”

"Is it ...... scarier than my mother's scolding?" asked a young fishmonger with a raised hand?" ”

The old sailor glanced at the little fishmonger, "I don't know how horrible your mother is, but the sound of that voice has kept me from getting rid of it until now, and I can hear that horrible whistling in my dreams every night." ”

He continued: "The dark clouds pressed lowly, and the fierce wind howled bitterly. The sea seemed to be boiling, surging wildly, sometimes rushing to this side, sometimes to that side. The whirlpool appears one moment and disappears the next. The huge wave suddenly falls halfway through, and the sea will be magnificent for a while, and calm like a mirror. It completely turned all my hydrological knowledge on its head. The sea is like crazy. ”

"And the sky is completely crazy. It was more than a month ago, but it's already spring. In the dark clouds, a stack of snowflakes of the size fell downward, and hail the size of a human head fell downward! The temperature is unbelievably cold! The howling wind carried huge snowflakes and hailstones, shattering them into tiny particles, and blowing them on the body was a bloody mouth! ”

"At this moment, the twin islands in the distance began to shake violently, and the sea and the islands were wailing, that is, wailing......"

After that, the old sailor was silent for a long time.

At this time, several men in swim trunks and women in bikinis who had been eavesdropping from a distance approached, and one of the men in swim trunks said, "I haven't seen the Twin Islands when the earthquake happened, but we just swam back from the vicinity of the Twin Islands, and it is really different." The league has stationed a group of elite trainers there, which is now off-limits. We just took a few peeks around the periphery, and it was a mess......"

The rest of the swim trunk men and bikini women also talked nonsense. It's all about the miserable state of the island today.

Only one bikini woman inadvertently said something like this, "...... It doesn't seem to be as cold there as it used to be. The sea has warmed up a lot......"

Merlin was a little worried about this rumor, because whether it was a geological change caused by this phenomenon or something else caused this change. It's not a good sign to have this kind of thing happen at such a time.

Rumors, No. 3: The Ideal Country that has disappeared.

This rumor was summed up by Merlin after hearing it all the way, and it seems that compared to the Rocket Corps, which is still in the limelight recently, the ideal country that was in the limelight seems to have disappeared during this time, and people rarely talk about them, and if they do, it is all old news from a long time ago.

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

Rumors, fourth: the explosion of unmanned power stations.

There is also an interesting rumor about the huge power station in the northeast of Kanto, which has been abandoned for many years. The giant power station, which was built at the end of the Second World War and was built in the early days of the Alliance, and was abandoned for environmental reasons after not being used for long, seems to have exploded a few months ago.

Based on what Merlin heard the two clerks chatting while shopping at the Friendship Shop, the news was originally spread by several trainers who ventured to the no-man's land to catch Electrical-based Pokémon.

According to them, they witnessed a huge series of explosions inside the power station outside the power station, and there were also sounds similar to fighting in it, which lasted for a long time, for several hours.

Soon after the explosion stopped, when the young trainers were about to sneak close to the power station and venture into the station, a large number of foreigners in camouflage uniforms poured out of the power station, and these rough men covered in gunsmoke and scorching marks frightened the young trainers hiding in the shadows, and the young trainers did not dare to enter the power station until they were long gone.

As a result, their current huge power station was destroyed by this possible battle. Countless machinery and equipment that were directly discarded here have all been turned into molten iron, and the reinforced concrete buildings have become charred and blackened, which can be directly crushed by hand.

According to them, high-level battles in the category of general meaning and common sense were definitely born there.

Merlin was skeptical. The abandoned power station, now commonly known as the "unmanned power station", and the vast uninhabited land around it, don't seem to have any powerful existence? Of course, it is also possible that some guys deliberately ran there to fight, and as a result, caused a huge explosion.

After all, Merlin didn't think the rumors were of much value. Moreover, Merlin vaguely remembers that in order to build a maglev train line connecting Guandu Jinhuang and Chengdu Manjin, the unmanned power station seems to be preparing to be reactivated. Maybe the trainers just happened to witness the demolition team violently working on it.

Rumors, the fifth: the rocket corps on the quartz plateau.

Another rumor surprised Merlin and made him wary at the same time.

Merlin heard the news inside the Pokémon Center in Crimson City. Because some kind of fast-acting anti-inflammatory injection was sold out in pharmacies, he went to the Pokémon Center, which had just bought a large number of stocks earlier, to see if he could buy a certain amount of injections from Miss Joy to replenish his own depleted inventory.

Before he could talk to Miss Joy, he was attracted by the chatter of a group of little ones.

"It's really fake...... one of the girls exclaimed, exaggeratedly.

"Of course it's true, it's all in the newspapers!" A little boy said very firmly, "I don't believe you. He waved the newspaper in his hand at the little trainers around him.

"'Rocket Legion Challenges Alliance Authority'......" A bespectacled boy struggled to read the headline in the newspaper, "'Evil organization brings war to the Alliance's doorstep'......"

Merlin's ears pricked up.

"Now, I'll read it to you." The little boy with the newspaper in his hand sat cross-legged on the chair, unfolded the newspaper in his hand, cleared his throat, and read aloud: "This newspaper ...... news."

"What does 'this newspaper' mean?" The other little girl asked weakly, but no one answered her question.

"According to an alliance insider who did not want to be named or position, the fierce fighting at the Champion Road on the 12th of last month has been confirmed to be an act of war caused by the evil organization Rocket Legion raiding an important facility of the Guandu Alliance located in the Quartz Plateau."

"Acts of war~~" The little ones sighed.

"It is reported that the Rocket Legion organized a large number of elite personnel in order to raid the alliance facilities located inside the Champion Road, among which the notorious former Golden Zodiac Trainer and one of the three major combat force giants of the Rocket Legion appeared in it......

"The capable~~" The little ones sighed again.

"You guys!" Miss Joy, who was at the back of the reception desk, obviously noticed the commotion that had gathered, she walked out of the reception desk, walked quickly to the little boy who was reading the newspaper, snatched the newspaper in his hand, and scolded righteously: "How many times have you said it, don't read the news in this kind of small newspaper, it's all a lie!" ”

"How could it be a lie!" After several failed attempts to snatch the newspaper from Miss Joy, the boy threw his neck at Miss Joy and shouted, "This is all a secret that my father has dug up himself!" It's not a lie! ”

"Then why is it that such a big thing has not been reported on the official news of the league?" Miss Joy folded the newspaper and asked, "Believe the official reports, don't believe the fake news that these tabloids make up to attract attention." ”

The little boy shouted even more unconvinced. Some of his friends were angry and helpful, and some were hiding behind the crowd and didn't dare to speak.

Seeing the chaos in front of him, Merlin knew that he didn't want to buy the anti-inflammatory injections from Miss Joy, and he didn't want to listen to what was written in the tabloid. So he left the Pokémon Center quickly before things got bigger.

"Rocket Legion? Explosions, earthquakes, raids, ......"

Merlin is back on his bike and ready to return to the light red field, in addition to filling his backpack, his mind is filled with questions and puzzles.

"It seems that something big is about to happen......"
