Chapter 22: Sirona in front of the Lost Tower
Random Town, a town where you can live as you like.
From the moment you walk into the town, you can feel the peaceful, laid-back atmosphere.
In the small fenced pastures nearby, middle-aged ranch uncles wearing cowboy hats, overalls, and grain forks in their hands, and young women in denim clothes are milking several large milk tanks on the ranch.
"Next, I'm going to go to the Pokémon Center first to check and treat Yukikasa and the other two Pokémon, what about you?" Xiao Siong beside him asked.
"Find a place to dispose of these oranges and oranges first, and then buy some daily necessities."
Aoyagi gestured to the bark backpack on his back.
"That's just the right time to be together."
"Does Pokémon Center also buy tree fruits?"
"Yes, and it's a little bit more expensive than in many places, and of course, they're a little bit stricter."
Aoyagi was a little surprised, but then he thought that the demand for tree fruits in this kind of place must be very large, and if he bought some of them independently, he could indeed relieve a lot of pressure.
As for the requirements for the quality of orange fruits, Aoyagi is not worried.
This full-grained, round-colored orange fruit has not been found to be better than what it is on its back even if Aoyagi has been drilling in the forest for a week.
The Pokémon Center is in the very center of Random Town, and Aoyagi is led by Xiao Siong and walks straight forward.
Until he stopped in front of a certain building.
Aoyagi looks up, and the whole picture of the building comes into view.
It is a large gray stone tower divided into five floors, the first four of which have a round arched window, and the last floor is tightly closed, and the original window is replaced by a patterned cross carving.
"What is this?"
"The Lost Tower, a place with the same name as the Pokémon Tower in the Kanto region, the Mt. Sunami in the Toyogen region, and the Tower of Heaven in the United region, where many Pokémon used to be buried, and under the gathering of yin qi, it became a gathering place for ghost-type Pokémon over time." Xiao Siong explained.
"It's simply a cemetery, right?"
Aoyagi then clicked on the panel and began to probe the Lost Tower.
【Lost Tower - Exploring】
[Exploration Progress: 0%...... 0%…… 0%……】
"It doesn't seem to be an ancient building, but a product of modern times."
Seeing that there was no response to the progress, Aoyagi canceled the exploration with some regret.
"Since it's a cemetery, why are there so many people? Are they all here to bury Pokémon, Pokémon's life isn't so short, is it? ”
Aoyagi found that there were more than a dozen people gathered under the Lost Tower, and it sounded a little noisy.
Xiao Xiang shook his head and said: "The cemetery was before, and later because of the increasing number of ghost-based Pokémon, in order to prevent them from affecting the residents of the town, the mayor simply changed the Lost Tower into a place of trial. ”
“……”
After listening to Xiao Xiang's explanation, Aoyagi had to sigh at the business acumen of the mayor.
As we all know, most ghost-based Pokémon have some degree of influence on humans themselves, especially as the number of time gathers increases, and sooner or later something will go wrong.
But now changing the cemetery into a pair of battlefields not only collects the ticket money, but also uses the battle to consume the physical strength of ghost-type Pokémon, so that they don't have so much energy to mess around in the town, which is simply killing two birds with one stone.
However, since there are rewards, you might be able to give it a try.
"By the way, are tickets expensive?"
"It's not expensive, after all, if it's expensive, there will be fewer people going."
Xiao Xiang turned his head to look at Aoyagi and whispered, "Are you interested?" However, according to the strength of you and Agumon, it is indeed possible to pass the first level and hit the second level. ”
Hearing this, Aoyagi asked with some surprise, "Can I only pass the first level?" ”
Xiao Siong nodded: "Don't think it's very simple, the Pokémon level of the first layer alone is around level 17, and the higher the number of layers, the higher the level, it is said that there are even nearly thirty levels of Pokémon in the fifth layer."
"The most important thing is that they prefer to fight more and less and sneak attack than one-on-one, and I can only hold on to it for a while when I challenged before, and there is still a long way to go before the second level."
Aoyagi didn't speak, just looked at the Lost Tower in front of him.
He wouldn't think that it was easy to clear the fifth floor, after all, the person who could come up with this idea of turning waste into treasure and making money couldn't be stupid enough to do a loss-making business.
Since the other party dares to set up an award and has existed for so long, it has already explained the problem of difficulty.
Thinking of this, Aoyagi couldn't help but ask, "Did anyone successfully clear the customs?" ”
"Yes, there must be, but those are all guys who pretend to be tender to cheat money, and they really challenge in strict accordance with the age regulations, none of them before, but now they ...... There should be. ”
"What do you mean?"
Xiao Xiang raised his white arm and pointed forward.
Aoyagi looked along.
The place she was pointing to was where the group in front of the Lost Tower was.
Aoyagi looked intently as a group of young trainers gathered around, white flashes flickering, as if they were taking pictures.
In the middle of the crowd, a middle-aged man who looked a little rich held a gift box on his mobile phone and handed it to the girl next to him, and the girl reached out to take it.
The two completed the handover of the gift box under the camera.
"I didn't expect to meet it in this place, it's really amazing, according to her strength, it's very easy to get eight badges to participate in the Lily of the Valley Conference and win."
Xiao Xiang, who is usually full of energy, also seems to be a little frustrated at this moment.
As for the reason for the frustration, it was obvious that she knew the girl and knew that the other party was stronger than herself.
Aoyagi originally just wanted to see what the other party looked like, judge the other party's age, and what Xiao Siong said about the "Lily of the Valley Conference Winning Level", so as to make a comprehensive reference for himself.
But when his eyes fell on the girl's face, he was surprised to find that the girl was very familiar.
is different from the time when I met Xiao Xiang before, which seemed to be a little familiar, but now it is the feeling that looks very familiar at a glance.
Especially after seeing her long golden hair draped behind her, a unique black drop-shaped hair ornament on the top of her head, and that delicate and small face that coexisted with childishness and royal sister temperament, a name instantly appeared in his mind.
Combined with Xiao Xiang's age, judging that the timeline he is in now is about three or four years ago when the Sinnoh plot happened, and the age is basically the same.
Aoyagi really didn't expect to meet her here.
The champion of the future Sinnoh region and one of the eight strongest masters of the Pokémon League - Sirona!
