"Steel Raven Flying Taxi Headquarters......"

Naoki walked the streets of Miyamen City with Le Le Don and Lei Guanwang, and began to rush to the destination of the trip according to the road signs in the center of the city.

Passers-by came and went, and almost everyone had one or two Pokémon with them.

Some are simply shopping, and there are also Pokémon trainers who come to Miyamen City for the first time and are full of surprise.

In this world, shopping with Pokémon is a sparse and common thing, so even if there is a reason for Leton and Ray Crown, it does not cause much commotion.

There is no other reason than because these two Pokémon are so rare that no one knows them at all.

It's just that there will be a few teenagers full of fighting spirit who, after making eye contact with Naoki, will run over to block their way and invite him to fight.

Like now.

A young man wearing a red and white cap and a flame rabbit stopped in front of them, looking at Gu Leton and Lei Guanwang with excited eyes.

"A Pokémon I've never seen before! You're a trainer too, right? Let's have a Pokémon battle! ”

Naoki looked down at the cute little rabbit and couldn't help but say, "You should have just become a trainer, right?" ”

The boy raised three fingers: "It's been three months!" ”

A polite smile suddenly appeared on Naoki's face: "This may be a little too unfair to you, so let's wait until you grow up and then challenge me!" ”

The young man persevered, "No, we have already collected three Gym badges!" ”

"Three?" Naoki was a little surprised, but after thinking about the strength of the old Leton and the Lei Guanwang, he still shook his head and said, "It's still not enough, okay, I wish you a smooth trip, see you later!" ”

With that, he bypassed the rookie trainer.

As a result, after not taking a few steps, another trainer came running up to him and invited him to a Pokémon battle.

Naoki: "......"

It is a super metropolis where the trainer culture is prevalent!

He looked at the onion rangers who were following the young man, and said that he looked much stronger than the previous one.

But this time he came to this place, he really didn't come to fight!

Facing the boy's invitation, Naoki shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I'm not a Pokémon trainer, so there's no way to accept your invitation." ”

The boy was stunned for a moment, he looked a little older, about fifteen or sixteen years old.

"How so? I think you're a trainer...... This Pokémon is so strong, it must have gone through a lot of long battles!

Naoki continued to smile politely, "But we're really not!" ”

The young man still knows how to read people's faces, and when he heard this, he finally didn't continue to invite the other party to fight.

Naoki breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't dare to wander around the city slowly, so he rode directly to Gu Leton, and ran on the road at a speed that ordinary people couldn't catch up.

After making their way through several streets, they finally arrived at the headquarters of the Steel Raven Flying Taxi.

It is a skyscraper more than thirty meters high.

In the lobby on the first floor is the ticket office and rest area, and several service staff are guarding the front desk reception, and when Naoki comes in, there are just a few guests who are ready to take a flying taxi to buy tickets.

"It's a total of 1,500 alliance coins, please collect your ticket and take the elevator to the rooftop of the top floor to take the ride, where our Steel Crow flying taxis are parked."

The receptionist smiled and handed the ticket to the guest in front of him.

The guest turned to leave, and she looked at Naoki who walked up again, and smiled politely, "Welcome!" Hello, is there anything I can do to help you? ”

"Hello, I would like to ask, is there a steel crow feather for sale here?" Naoki asked.

Hearing this, the receptionist was slightly stunned: "You want to buy the feathers of the steel crow?" ”

Naoki nodded.

The receptionist was a little embarrassed: "As far as I know, our company has signed an agreement with the steel factory, and all the feathers shed by the steel crows working here will be sent to the factory for smelting, made into various iron tools and sold elsewhere, and have never been sold separately......"

"A steel factory?" Naoki thought for a moment, and then realized that the feathers of the steel crow were also a very important resource in this world.

Seeing what he wanted, the receptionist thought about it carefully, and then said, "That's okay, I'll ask the boss of our company." ”

Naoki originally thought that he couldn't buy it, but when he heard this, he realized that there was still a chance, and he thanked, "Then I'll trouble you." ”

The receptionist smiled slightly: "It's okay, I'm glad to be able to help you, Mr. Trainer." ”

The Galel region values every trainer very much, and President Rhodes has developed a series of preferential policies for trainers after serving as a member of the Alliance.

He wants every trainer to have a good experience when they come to the Galel region.

Under his influence, everyone in the area is willing to help the trainers who pass by.

Because these trainers who travel in the Galel region can bring them real benefits, whether it is spending money or playing Pokémon battles.

After all, the Galel region is attracted by Pokémon battles.

Naoki is not very clear about this.

The receptionist lady didn't explain either, she picked up the phone at the front desk, typed in the numbers, and dialed a number.

Soon, the call was connected.

The receptionist reported the situation truthfully.

"Hello owner! There's a trainer from the company who wants to buy the feathers shed by the steel crow......"

"Well, I saw him with two very powerful Pokémon by his side, I've never seen them before."

"What? Would you like to come in person? ”

"Oh oh, okay, I see, I'll arrange it!"

After saying that, the phone hung up, and the receptionist smiled embarrassedly.

"I'm sorry, our boss wants to see you after hearing about this, please come over there for a while, he will be over soon."

Naoki was stunned.

What's going on? Didn't he just want to buy some steel crow feathers? He's not a big man, as for stirring up the crowd like this?

After a short thought, he sat in the rest area and waited.

Therefore, Leton looked left and right curiously, and the Lei Guanwang looked indifferent, his posture was elegant, and his eyes were filled with an invisible majesty.

After a while, an elevator descended from above to the first floor.

Immediately after, a tall, athletic middle-aged man dressed in casual clothes stepped down from the elevator.

He had a very old-fashioned mobile phone in his hand and a loud voice:

"What? That guy dares to say in public that I don't have as much vision as he does? Also affected the company's share price? ”

"Damn! It's so damning! Let him wait for me, and we at Galel will win the Nova Race! ”

The man hung up the phone hatefully, and then dialed another number.

"Where did that kid run away? Why is there no news so far? The Rising Star Contest is about to start, and as a company-sponsored trainer, doesn't he have a number in mind? ”

I don't know what was said on the other end of the line.

The man was very angry: "Forget it, don't count on him, I'll see if I can find other trainers to come and help, we must not lose to other companies in this new star competition!" ”

With that, the man hung up the phone and walked towards the front desk.

The receptionist lady pointed in the direction of the rest area.

Then, Naoki saw the man walking towards him.

The man looked at the young man in front of him, and then turned his gaze to the two Pokémon beside him.

The one on the left is huge, muscular, and has fierce eyes, and at first glance it is not an ordinary Pokémon.

The one on the right......

The man's eyes widened and he was surprised, why is this Pokémon's head so big?!

As if sensing the man's impolite gaze, the Thunder Crown King raised his eyes, and the majesty of the once king instantly filled his body, making people can't help but want to surrender to it.

The man was taken aback, this Pokémon pierced his thoughts?

Although I don't know what kind of Pokémon this is, judging from his eyes and the momentum on his body, it is extraordinary at first glance!

The man's eyes suddenly became fiery.

Fortunately, there is no endless road, and it takes no effort to get it, and the trainer players they funded can't come back, so God sent them a powerful trainer.

It seems that luck is on their side, and the champion of this Rising Star Contest must be theirs!

The man cleared his throat to look polite: "Are you trying to buy steel crow feathers?" ”

Naoki said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Yes." ”

"This is easy to say, let alone buy it, even if it is given to you!" The man said generously.

Naoki: "? ”

"As long as you're willing to do me a favor." The man said.

Help? What does he want to do? Naoki thought for a moment and asked, "What's the busy?" ”

Man: "Represent our company in the upcoming Regional Rising Star Contest!" ”

Attend...... Contest? Naoki was slightly stunned.

In his puzzled gaze, the man explained with a smile:

"Don't be nervous, this is an ordinary Pokémon tournament, you're a trainer from another region, right?"

Naoki: "Yes. ”

"I just look at it." The man said proudly, his vision has always been very accurate: "The Regional Rising Star Contest is a traditional competition in the Galel region. ”

"In our case, Trainer Battles have already been commercialized, and in the beginning, some companies would spend a lot of money to invite some famous trainers to endorse the company and sell their products to fans."

"Later, some companies started funding their own talented trainers and developing them from scratch, and if they could do well in tournaments, it would bring a lot of money to the company."

"But the tournament is only held once a year, and some fans are not satisfied with it, so at their strong request, the Regional Rising Star Contest was born, and many well-known trainers will come to participate on behalf of the companies behind them."

Hearing this, Naoki probably understood.

A bit like the All-Star Game? These companies invest money to become the sponsors behind those trainers, and then use their fame and fans to reap the benefits.

Thinking of this, an incredible thought suddenly popped up in his heart: "You don't want me to represent your company in the competition, do you?" ”

The man grinned: "Clever! ”

He continued: "Yes, our company also sponsored a trainer who made it to the semi-finals in the last tournament and lost to Dandi. ”

"Last month, he went out to practice, but I don't know where he went, and we couldn't get in touch, so it seems that he can't come back in time to participate in this year's Rising Star Competition."

"The company selling woolen sweaters next door took the opportunity to mock us, saying that we were cowardly salamanders, and this competition was going to be the first to be eliminated, and some sponsors were scared to withdraw their funds in advance, causing our company's stock price to fall a lot!"

Speaking of which, manly lungs are about to explode: "Isn't that hateful guy just a clothes seller?!" ”

Naoki: "...... What was the ranking of the trainers they funded in the last tournament? ”

The man recalled for a moment and said, "Third runner-up, right?" Hmph, isn't it just a third child? What's the big deal! ”

The third place is always better than the top four, Naoki said in his heart.

The man looked over and said to him: "If you are willing to represent our company in the competition, I don't expect a championship, as long as you can eliminate the trainer funded by that guy, not to mention the feathers of the steel crow, even if it is a genuine set of sad tea and terrible pot tea set, I can get it for you!" It's all free, and you won't be charged a penny! ”

Hearing this, Naoki's heart moved.

Genuine forms of Lai Grief Tea and Horror Pot? This is a very rare existence!

He also likes to drink tea.

As soon as he saw his expression, the man knew that his heart was moved.

He smiled wickedly: "How's it going?" ”

Naoki: Heartbeat.

He's not a trainer, but he can be a trainer when necessary.

Anyway, Letton is very strong and strong, and he can lie down and win as long as he follows behind.

However, Naoki still had a question in his mind: "Why do you think I will definitely win against that trainer?" ”

"Because your two Pokémon aren't ordinary Pokémon at first glance!"

The man has his own set of logic: "This kind of rare Pokémon is very difficult to encounter in the wild, even if it is me, I have never seen it." ”

"They come across as mysterious and powerful, and the look in their eyes tells me that they will never succumb to humans as easily as Pikachu on the side of the road."

"If you can subdue them, how weak will you be? You can't tell me you're not a trainer, you're a farmer in the countryside, can you? ”

Naoki: "......" He's really.

"So!" The man spread his hands: "There are only two situations at this time, the first is what I just said, and the second is that you come from some ancient big families with deep roots, and these Pokémon were handed over to you by your elders." ”

"But you need to buy Steel Crow Feathers from outside, not from the family, so the second feasibility is ruled out, so that only the first one remains."

The "smart" man showed a standard detective gesture: "So, there is only one truth!" You are a very strong trainer! ”

Naoki: "......"

After speaking, the man scratched his head embarrassedly: "Haha, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I've seen too much Detective Pikachu recently." ”

"How? Would you like to do me a favor? The man asked.
