Chapter 9 Orange City
Cross the bush-covered Route 102.
Along the way, I encountered too many troubles, and the most headache was the unsolved matter of eating.
After two days of hunger, I finally saw the outline of the city.
It was like a beggar who had fled the famine and came here, and almost even the police at the checkpoint prevented him from entering the city.
His clothes were in tatters, but fortunately he wasn't wearing a coat.
It was a new dress given to him by his mother, and he was still reluctant to take it out and wear it on his body, because it would be polluted by the smell of sweat.
Without paying attention, rush into the open base of the Pokémon Center located in the center of the city.
The Pokémon Center is a health place in the Toyogen area dedicated to trainers resting and recuperating Pokémon.
The equipment and environment of the Pokémon Center are quiet and peaceful.
However, at the end of the day, this is just a place for Pokémon to regain their health.
It is not the best place to treat the ailments of the human body.
The Pokémon Center is very particular about the professional abilities of doctors and nurses.
Even medical professionals may not be able to enter the Pokémon Center to specialize in their work.
At present, there are mainly doctors and nurses, and only Miss Joy of the Joy family is in charge.
At the door, a sloppy-looking teenager hurriedly ran in.
It quickly catches Miss Joy's attention.
"Hello."
Joey said kindly.
"Hello, Miss Joey, open me a room." Xuanhui said.
"Well, okay, please wait." Miss Joy typed it on the keyboard and immediately smiled, "Okay, your room has been booked for you, the center comes with other entertainment measures, lounge, catering services, and Pokémon massages, and the cost of residence and recovery for the well-known Dr. Odamaki approved trainers is free, guest, what else is there to demand?" ”
"Well, no, thank you, Miss Joy." Xuan Hui politely ordered, and hurriedly untied the baby ball on his waist and entrusted it to Miss Joy.
And he took the room card, found the corresponding room number, and went in to put down his luggage.
A few minutes later, he went out to the bathroom.
After taking a shower, I went to the restaurant.
Order a special seaweed rice ball and kelp soup.
It's not that I can't afford to eat special meals, mainly because it's a little difficult to maintain a month's worth of money.
Traveling at the beginning of the year can not advocate spending a lot of money.
But the key is that on the eve of the official trip, Xuan Hui has already paid for the repair of the bicycle.
The days have passed tightly.
However, it did not affect his motivation.
The week went by quite full.
Even starvation did not dispel the belief of becoming an honorary trainer in the future.
When I was really hungry and couldn't stand it, I could only eat the fruit from the tree, which had a sour taste and a hot and spicy taste.
All this is just a test of the trainer from God, and there is no shortcut to life.
You have to be brave enough to face it alone.
Pokémon can't eat those fruits that are not nutritious, although they quench hunger and are also sweet, but they don't have much nutrition.
Eating less is good for the body to absorb, and eating more will affect development.
Fortunately, the elf food given by Mary is quite substantial.
Even if the taste is special, Kimorigu will give some of the elven food in his bowl to the snake bear.
Serpentine bears are never picky about their food, and these are good habits developed during their time in the wild.
After eating, Hyun Hui leaves the Pokémon Center.
Didn't go to get the Pokémon.
It's just that he wants to go out and buy some daily necessities without disturbing Miss Joy's time for the Pokémon massage.
The shirt is sent for dry cleaning, and even if it is torn, it is reluctant to throw it away.
Sew and mend it yourself, put a patch on the hole, and you can make do with it for a while.
Even if it doesn't work, it should be able to last for a while as a rag.
In my memory, this is the second time in Orange City.
The last time I came, I remember him still going on a sightseeing trip with Sister Nao.
At that time, Nao had been a trainer for a year, and when he came back from a trip, he took his younger brother out for a walk.
At that time, Sister Nao said that there was an urgent matter to deal with when she came back to Hoen.
What's that?! Hell, I can't even remember.
However, it is no wonder, after all, it was a few years ago, and he still remembers it so clearly.
Orange City is not a particularly large city.
The scale is not small, it has a long history, and the main neighborhood is close to the forest and the sea.
Rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the water to eat the water.
People who live in this city can live a fulfilling life, even if they are not rich.
The people in the city, everyone is very kind.
"Hello, do you know which side of the department store is going to go around here?" I found a worker sitting in a daze, and hurriedly asked.
"Ah, you mean the department store, little brother, you're not familiar with Orange City, right?"
"There's no department store here, there is a market, only you have enough money, sorry, even if you don't have money, the exchange of equivalent items can facilitate the deal." The worker took a puff of cigarette, hurriedly extinguished it, and looked up to the young man in front of him.
"Oh? That's fine, how to get there. Xuan Hui asked.
Immediately afterwards, the worker drew him a map, and the map showed the path without too many twists and turns.
There are not too many turns, but they just go directly, and under the bridge at the intersection is actually a prosperous bazaar.
There is a small river next to it, and there are often water system Pokémon swimming and frolicking in the river.
Unexpectedly, human beings who are not afraid of hurrying seem to be very leisurely and lazy.
Some even poked their heads out from under the water to look at the lively places.
"If you follow it, you will be able to see the destination, it's very close, so let's go with confidence."
The worker drew a map for him and explained it carefully.
This is the gap in life.
"Thanks, I'm leaving."
Xuan Hui took out the map and hurriedly followed the instructions on the map to find the destination.
The map that the worker drew for him was really a work of conscience.
After walking for a short time, you will see a market located under the bridge.
The local elders set up their stalls for the whole afternoon.
They usually buy small goods to make money from travelers.
Travelers coming and going, whether trainers, nurturers, or coordination trainers, would come to the booth to take a look or two.
Because they are all regular customers, they all know the rules of setting up stalls, things can only be used to see, never touched with hands.
Anything that depends on the first feeling is to judge whether such a thing is good or not.
Of course, there will also be stall owners who have never seen the world and sell those more expensive things at a bargain price.
Sometimes it's all luck.
However, for those mercenary merchants, they always like to make a lot of moths to deceive travelers.
They put the treasures together with the counterfeit treasures, but in fact, the appearance does not make much difference, but the difference is in the price.
For example, medicines, which are specially used to treat Pokémon's injuries.
It is divided into ordinary wound medicine, super injury medicine, and advanced injury medicine, and it is even more difficult to distinguish between them without contact.
As the price increases with the quality, the price is not the same, and it is even more difficult to identify when mixed together.
There are no counterfeit and shoddy products in the department store, and they specialize in selling high-quality products.
The stall owner said that it was absolutely high-quality and that he could buy it with confidence, which undoubtedly made people suspicious.
