When we realized this, we acted quickly. Run away no matter what. Run away. He let Mason and Sarnori catch the ball and run as fast as he could. But the distance is not close at all! This is to be expected, as Yuvac itself is not a ridiculously slow Pokémon. As humans, no matter how we run, we can't escape, which leads to the previous scene.

"Damn, I've never heard you're so strong!?"

"Hahaha, I may not be able to run"

\"Yuri, come on! Miss Sonia, is there any way to do it!? \"

"Don't be so reckless just because you're a senior!?"

Hope and I seemed to have a lot of time, but Yongli was starting to feel a little out of breath. I may be able to hold on for a while, but the limit is not far off.

I need to do something soon

I turned my head to think as I ran. There is no way to escape at this time.

If there's a way to get the other person's attention, think about it now

"Miss Sonia! Miss Sonia, didn't you get a doll or something like that when you first came to the wilderness? ”

"Ragdolls? Do you remember buying one? Am I sure it's Pippi? Didn't she tell you to use it in an emergency? ”

"Think back!!"

As I ran, I reached into my backpack to look for it. You'll slow down a bit, but there's still a long way to go, so that's okay. Double-check the content and take out what you're looking for.

"Yes!!"

What she took out was a Pippi doll. Not only my Pokémon, but when I go to various parks, I often see people playing with this doll. It is one of Pokémon's favorite toys. For some reason, someone handed it out at the entrance to the wilderness, and I guess that's what they meant.

"Pippi Doll? What are we going to do with it? ”

"This way!!"

Throw it lightly, then turn around. Keep an eye on the approaching Ivac

"Filming a Pippi Doll at My Work !!"

I felt like I was hearing hallucinations about something super exciting popping up, but I didn't care. The kicked Pippi doll flies away in a strange trajectory due to the fact that it was kicked by an amateur, but on the other hand, it attracts Yuvac's attention and diverts his attention.

"Now!! Everyone, hurry up!! ”

I stared at Pippi Doll as I tried to stay away from her. After running for about ten seconds, I finally came to the shade of a tree, and I couldn't see the shadow of Ivac and sat down.

"What can I run away"

"Yuri, are you okay? Do you want to drink water? ”

\"Thank you, Miss Sonia. \"

"Ape Ki, this is just a part of your energy, I'm sorry to make you so unreasonable."

"There's also medicine for scratches, so let's use it. If there's a problem, I'll help you out. ”

"Thank you, Freea"

Now that things have stabilized, everyone will be doing all sorts of work to build their systems. It's not the first time I've been attacked by wild Pokémon, but it's been a while since I've been hunted by kids of such different levels. The previous ones were much better than me, so I wasn't far behind the wildlife around me. Even so, I didn't expect to be attacked by such a strong Pokémon in the early stage

"I heard that it was very harsh, but I didn't expect such a powerful child to appear in the first grassland"

"I've completely forgotten that now I want to come, this is the wilderness."

"But the presence of such people here means that there are more dangerous places to haunt in the future! Just knowing that makes me even more excited!! ”

"I think it would be nice if the journey was safer and calmer"

Yongli smiled wryly at Hope's extremely positive attitude. I kind of agree with Yongli, so I understand how he feels.

"But you will inevitably run into trouble along the way. When I traveled with Dandekun, I had a lot of trouble every time. Whether you can enjoy it or not varies from person to person. \"

"I had a great time!"

"Maybe I can be a little more stable"

"That being said, a trip without hassle is not really a trip at all. I think that's what kind of travel encompasses these things. ”

"I see"

"Things are going to be more difficult from now on, aren't they?"

"Uh, don't provoke my anxiety needlessly, I don't like that."

Even though Yuuri replied that he didn't like what I said, he had a relaxed expression on his face, and it looked like Yuuri wasn't happy about it either. After all, it's a Pokemon trainer, and it seems that Tail often enjoys this feeling deep down. It's actually quite interesting. Can't help enough.

"Alright, now that you've recovered a lot, it's time to keep exploring the wasteland!"

"yes, if you go too slow, you'll be late to Engine City, so let's go around at a moderate pace. You want to experience a bit of power, right? ”

Listening to Hope and Miss Sonia, Yongli and I nodded and stood up. I stretched, let my body relax, and looked around for the next walk

"Oh, is it that foggy?"

"I think it was sunny when we fled Yuwak"

Weather changes.

That's probably one of the characteristics of the wasteland, and I've seen it with my own eyes. The grassland, which had been sunny and pleasant just a moment ago, suddenly began to shroud in a faint layer of pink mist.

"It's not just fog. It's a foggy field. ”

"It's not just the weather, it's the venue that has changed, it's amazing that the wilderness"

Hope's words surprised me even more. It's not bad if it's rain or a sandstorm, but it's doubtful that the fog is something that happens naturally, but I guess that's what happened. Colloquially, it is known as "Yarobe name".

"Naturally unfold the fog field, like a dragon's tearful eyes"

"Fog is a very rare weather, as the fog field expands, you will see more fairy-type Pokémon, maybe there are rare Pokémon there"

Hope explained as he looked around. When I looked around, I saw something that looked like pillars glowing purple.

"Hey, jump. What kind of light is that? ”

"Light? What is that!? ”

Hope ran towards the light, with Sonia and Yongli following. I chased the three so as not to be left behind, and when I arrived, I was staring at a large hole at the bottom of the light.

"It's called a nest. When you see such a pillar of light, it proves that it is full of tremendous energy. ”

"When the light is so intense and heavy, a lot of energy is consumed."

\"Then again, what happens when you're full of energy? \"

"Trial?"

Before I could answer the mischievous Miss Sonya, her hand was grabbed and her body slipped into the hole. I walked farther and farther into the hole and felt Hope and Yuri right behind me. Soon I arrived at a huge open space with a fairly high ceiling and considerable depth. And in the center of that space, there was something shrouded in red-black clouds.

"Come on, Freya, get ready. I'll leave this one to you. \"

"We'll have your back, so let's make a big decision!!"

"The first raid battle was so exciting!!"

"Yes?"

After the three of them performed Eight, Ape Teaching, and Spark, I was confused and didn't know what was going on. The clouds cleared, and the three of them jumped out happily, ready to fight. In that cloud

"Oh, it's not big, it's it"

"Wow!!"

"Emotional Pokémon" Ralz let out a roar, showing a body dozens of times larger than that of an ordinary Pokémon. It is waiting for us in a state of great power.

"It's a strong motivator"

At that moment, I was stunned by the way it looked, it was bigger than I had imagined. My arm started glowing red. As I looked down in the light, I saw the strong power band that Dr. Magnolia had given me.

\"Freya!! Hold the magic ball with the hand wearing that strap and make a strong wish!! \"

I listened to Hope and nodded, picked up a monster ball, closed my eyes, and put it on my chest, making a strong wish.

Let's fight against that rat with everyone, please!!

The powerful strap shines even more. The overflowing light spilled out as if it had been released from the band, and the light converged on the monster ball that was placed on my chest. The moment the light is completely absorbed by the sphere, the sphere glows red and at the same time expands in volume.

It's heavy. And I can feel the powerful heat

I felt the weight in my hands be heavy. A heat that burns your skin, but warm and gentle. When you take the time to feel these two things, your mind becomes focused unconsciously.

"Frya!!"

He reacts to Yuri's voice and throws the amplified ball high into the sky. The ball that flew high opened, and what emerged from it was

"Woooooooooooo

My partner became huge and screamed loudly, as if to beat Rattes. The powerhouse Mei Song stood, and a crimson cloud floated above his head.

"Let's go! Mason!! ”

"Madhyamaka!"

He called out to Mason as he looked up Mason's techniques in the illustrated book. Then, the available techniques column changed from the usual techniques to "Dice Attack", "Dice Flow", and "Dice Wall".

It may be depending on each type of technology, in this case the water-type technology becomes the mold flow, the normal-type technology becomes the mold attack, and the change technology becomes the mold wall, which is basically the protection of the Dymax version. That's probably what it means. Both Sesuke and Kihisa were changed to death attacks, so there was no mistake. At the moment I don't know the difference between these two Dai attacks, but my guess is that it may turn into a strong power technology that references the power of the original technology.

Now, this is the first strong motivation for rabbits and writing.

"First of all, Mason, Death Attack!!"

"Madhyamaka!!"

As Mason slammed his foot on the ground like a limb on all fours, a shockwave rose from Raltz's feet and hit him directly. Ralz barely held back, took a step back, and took a slightly slower stance than before.

Unsurprisingly, the speed dropped. Doctor and Jump told me that every strong dynamic move brings an extra effect, but it's powerful.

Considering that it will be used in Gym battles in the future, it will be dangerous if you don't take appropriate measures. As I thought so, Ralz moved.

Multiple rounds of circular energy descend from the sky. The goal is Mason. Maybe he didn't like to be attacked by death, so he attacked him in turn.

I wanted to tell her not to do this, but it was hard to do because she was grown. His physical strength also increases, but that doesn't mean his attacks won't cause damage. If it hits Mason, the energy that could come from the superpower technology spreads to the ground.

"When it seems that the battle situation is changing rapidly, it will disturb your judgment."

"Now is not the time to express your thoughts!! Sarunori 'Leaf Knife'!! ”

"Spark, 'Fire Noko'!!"

"Gohachi, 'Spark'!!"

The three beasts played their own tricks. Sure enough, having three bodies at the same time was a bit painful and left me shaky, but that's about it. Unable to stop Raltz, whose durability has been increased by the Extreme Giant, he once again prepares his technique. I would like to immediately instruct Mason to block, however

If you hit a dead stream, it will rain. Then the crumpled firepower will increase

\"Freya!! Hibani and I were so nice!! Don't worry, let's fight!! \"

\"！！ Mason, "Death Stream"!! \"

Hearing Yuri's voice, he believed in Sunflower and Yuri, and then died. A large amount of water was released with great force and hit Ralz while it rained. At the same time, Shibani frowned slightly.

I'm sorry. I'll just give you Oron later.

I apologized to the rabbit in my heart and prepared to pursue. However, the splash of water from the stream created a shock wave that hit Manhachi. Then, the energy that flew out of Wan Bachi's body flew towards Ralz, and Ralz seemed to become a little more energetic.

\"Draining kiss!? Can you use normal tricks too!? \"

"When a wild Pokémon breaks out, for some reason it also uses normal technology, depending on whether you think it's a drop in firepower or a more troublesome thing!?"

Sonia explained as she took care of the injured Manhachi, as if the attack had interrupted her.

"Wow!!"

"Mason!! Take it!! ”

When Sarnori and Shibani are blown away for activating Niriki, Mason grabs them with open arms. I tried to rebuild my system, but before I could start, Ralz caught up with me.

"Top!!"

A bad feeling came overhead, and I looked up to see three stars in the distance.

Now there is not enough time to attack. So!!

\"Mason!! Take that star!! Yongli! Jump! Miss Sonia! At the same time, destroy Ralz's system!! \"

"Roger!!" ””

As they spoke, Sparks, Ape Sects, and Manhachi began to appear, and a star fell in their place.

"Good luck Mason!!"

Mason accepted the three stars. I've reached the limit of my physical strength, but of course I can handle it. There is also the ever-expanding immortal space, the mist realm. Three shadows reached Raltz's feet in a space with an anomalous state of repulsion

"Ape Cult!! Use your right leg to perform "Edgetsu"!! \"

\"Crumpled!! It's the \"stream" on the left leg!! \"

"Gollum!!"

"Bunny!!"

Raltz was hit in the leg and he stumbled forward. The head hangs down as if it were leaning forward.

\"Gohachi!! 'Sparks' shoot at the head!! ”

A single Pache ball with a trajectory similar to an uppercut from below, running towards its head. Immediately after receiving a direct blow, his body stretched upward. Great attacking opportunity.

"Frya!! \"

'Mason!!' Death Stream'!! ”

"Woooooooooooo

Hope, Yongli, and Miss Sonia shouted at me to respond to their words. Then, as if in response to a command, Mason unleashed a full force of death, and his body glowed with a pale blue light. The body, which glows with a pale blue light, proves that Mason's trait "Torrent" is activated when physical strength decreases. Moreover, the rain brought by the previous water flow has also strengthened the water technique. The highest firepower that the current Mason can produce. The current, which was significantly more powerful than before, shot through Ralz and exploded. Raltz's explosive form is gone, and he has become smaller.

That's when we won the raid.

Mason has also returned to its original size, perhaps because the time for strong power has come.

"I, Madhyamaka"

"Thank you for your hard work, Mason."

He immediately stroked the growing wheat on his head and processed it.

"Well done, Fria!! That's a great powerhouse!! ”

"Amazing!! I also want to try it soon. ”

"It's the first time, but you're doing well."

"Thank you! Thanks to everyone's help!! ”

The battle was over, and everyone high-fived.

It was nice to have a system crash at the end.

Raid battles. It can become a habit

After the intense battle, the other three of us healed our buddies and played poke ref.

Now I'm hot

"Are you okay?"

I'm rushing towards Ralz, who I had defeated before. Whatever happened, Raltz didn't actually do anything wrong. I will give you treatment as soon as possible to get you back to normal

"Lallal?"

“？ What's wrong? ”

Raltz, who was waiting for the wound to heal and recover, looked left and right, tilting his head.

"Maybe you don't remember?"

"Maybe it's a kid who goes berserk, and sometimes, sometimes, some kids can't control themselves."

"I think there is such a situation, what would you do in such a situation?"

"If things get out of hand, the gym leader or champion will deal with it. But the basics are left to the trainers and wild children. Strong power Pokémon do not come out of their lair. ”

"I see"

Even when listening to Sonia talk about the strong dynamics situation, I don't miss poking and redressing and aftermath. Of course, Mason was properly treated and is now lying on top of my head. It was lovely.

"Yes. That's it. ”

"As always, your technique is very good."

"I've traveled all over the place, and there are a lot of naughty people around, so okay, it's okay now."

I patted Raltz on the head and told him the treatment was over. At this time, Hope and Yuri also seemed to have finished and arrived here.

"Okay, so what do we do next? If Yongli and Hope had never played Strong Power before, why don't we go to another lair to try it out? ”

"I see, I want to try it soon!!"

"Me too! I might want to try it out before the opening ceremony of the Dao Challenge. ”

"Then it's decided, let's go to the next lair and try it."

Hearing Miss Sonia's words, everyone nodded, ready to take a step forward.

Goodwitt

"Yes?"

The hem is pulled. When I turned around, I saw Raltz right at my feet.

"What happened?"

"Ral! Ral!! ”

"Do you like it?"

\"What!? I didn't do anything? \"

But when I looked at Raltz at my feet, he was staring at me intently.

"I really like poking inflation, so that's why you like me, right? At least the girl seems to be attracted to you. ”

Continue watching while listening to Miss Sonya's words. Raltz didn't take his eyes off me either.

"Ralz. Do you want to come with me? ”

"Ral!!"

Raltz's legs were clutched. If Ralz said that, I pulled an empty monster ball out of my backpack and hit Ralz hard. Raltz entered the sphere surrounded by light, shook it a few times, and then stopped shaking with a popping sound. Release the ball by stroking it.

"Lal Lal!!"

"Oops"

As I took him out of the ball, Raltz hugged me and I stroked him again. To be honest, I don't know why you like me so much, but if you like me so much, I'll respond accordingly.

"It's a pleasure to see you from now on. Raltz. ”

"Ral!!"

Raltz replied, grabbing my clothes. The second companion of the Galel region after Mason. That's when I made new, reliable friends.

"Saruki, 'Daiso'!!"

The Great Creation, released from the Powerful Ape Sect, hit Otamaro directly. The big bang happened at the same time. Sensing danger, Otamaro fled deeper into the cavern and gradually shrunk his body in order to escape before the gigantic vanished.

"Well, I can do it too! Strong power!! ”

"It's good to change jobs"

\"Oh!! Well done Sarunori!! \"

While high-fiveing me, I also did my best to heal the powerful Disintegration of the Ape Cult.

"Jumping gets the most out of it!"

"You're doing a great job considering it's your first time. The instructions are very accurate and I wonder if this is really your first time. ”

"I haven't seen too many videos of my big brother!! Sonya's assist was great too! The real person who 'wiped his cheeks' before was also very helpful!! ”

Now, more time has passed since I greeted Lart. Since then, we've been walking around the wilderness area with Yongli and Hope for gigantic practice, but we still wanted to get close to Engine City, so we centered on Lake Kiwa and walked counterclockwise through the Uralraka grassland. While enjoying life in the wild, observing wild Pokémon, fighting and interacting with trainers, he steadily gained experience as a trainer.

Both men had no problem with strong momentum and won the raid without any problems, so I think it's safe to say that this was the best result they had trained before the gym challenge. Unfortunately, I haven't heard of anyone adding new friends other than me, but well, there is no need to rush to add new friends, I hope you do your best to use the Pokémon that suits you and your Pokémon that you want.

I wonder what you caught, because I'm curious.

"Thank you Ralz for your hard work as well. Well played!! ”

"Ral!!"

I also participated in the raid of the Ralts that I captured earlier, so I went to find everyone while taking care of the Ralts.

"Alright, it's almost time, let's go to Engine City."

I suggested and let Ralz get back on the ball. Everyone went back to their balls, checked their phones, and found that it was already around 4:00 p.m., and the outside had turned crimson.

"I think it's dangerous to go to the wilderness at night when we just set off, so let's report to Engine City quickly."

Hearing Miss Sonia's words, the four of us nodded, chatting and walking.

"But it's so exciting to try to energize yourself like this!"

"I kept saying I wanted to do it."

\"Isn't that the same with Yongli? Then, the next thing is the extremely huge battle with the director of the gym!! It's going to burn!! \"

Yongli smiled bitterly at Hope, who was so excited that he could almost see the fire in his eyes, but he silently clenched his fists, as if he felt the same way. That being said, I'm also looking forward to playing Strong Momentum with the Gym Leader, and I'm always thinking about what kind of strategy will come up when I play against other people.

"It's impossible to dodge such a huge body, so it's important to cut off the power and timing of the Extremely Giant Transformation. Whatever the timing, if you had to do something by force, it would be just a kind of rock, scissors, and paper, and in that case, the gym curator would be overwhelmed. Since it's too disadvantageous, even a weak type should have a way to deal with it. Could it be the added effect of the Extreme Giant? If you make a fire and enter the sunlight, the power of the water system will be halved, but after that, it will become a water system. If you're drenched in a giant move, the fire type can be difficult. Does this mean that you have a technique that can make the submarine fall into a weak position, or a technique that can be avoided even with the use of Megagium? It depends first of all on the size of the battlefield"

\"Freya, Freya? \"

\"Yes, yes!! \"

As I was immersed in the ocean of thoughts, I was surprised to hear a voice suddenly. When I turned around, I noticed that Miss Sonia was no longer polite and began to talk to me in a more friendly way.

"A little scared, isn't it?"

"I—I'm sorry. I got a little carried away."

"Indeed, Yuri and Hope have entered my world, and although your personalities are very different, they are similar in nature. I don't know all Pokémon trainers are like this. ”

If you look to the side, you'll notice that although they go to Engine City together, they're both immersed in their own worlds, excited about the upcoming gym challenge, and the atmosphere seems empty.

"Everyone is looking forward to it, my journey, my challenges, my dreams have finally begun"

"Dreams,"

"Miss Sonia, is it your dream to succeed Professor Mulan?"

"Legacy, hey I think I'd rather be recognized than say I'm going to inherit it."

I whispered as I raised my head as if looking up at the sky.

"I also have a lot of things to do. I'd rather be in a hurry than in a hurry. ”

\"Ah, yes! Jump!! Yongli!! Let's go~\"

The two men were startled by my cry and hurried over. After making sure that the two were approaching, I followed Miss Sonia in front of me.

The silhouette I saw at the time seemed a little lonely, and for some reason it reminded me of myself before I came here.

☆

"Now, it's Engine City."

I followed Sonia and soon arrived at Engine City.

It is completely different from the nostalgic feeling typical of Ha Long town and the countryside rich in nature. A city with a lot of strange mechanisms. The brochure also describes it as an industrial city that modernized with a steam engine. Sure enough, although it is not as big as Shooting City, it is indeed a large enough city.

Although it may be called a mechanical device, there are also places in between that you can feel nature, such as parks with fountains and trees from which you can see children and Pokémon playing in the water. The most striking thing is a gear-shaped elevator.

There seems to be a platform for a person to stand on, both directly above and directly below the gear, which rotates clockwise or counterclockwise like a Ferris wheel, taking the person up and down. Although it is some distance from the wilderness, its overwhelming presence is clearly visible and quite striking.

"There's an engine stadium where you can sign up for gym challenges outside of the elevators."

"The sun has set, let's hurry up!!"

"Ah, jump a little!!"

When they heard where the reception was, Hope rushed forward, Yongli following behind.

I turned to Sonia and thought to myself that she was really just as positive as Jun.

"I'm sorry, Miss Sonia. I can't thank you enough for showing me around\"

"It's okay, it's okay, you should go early, I wonder if you can make it to the reception, right? I went to the Pokémon Center to take a break and then went to see all sorts of things. "For my research."

"I really appreciate you!!"

"Yes, yes, please do your best."

I ran to the elevator, Miss Sonia's hands waving behind me. On the way I looked at the shops on both sides, but when I reached the elevator, I saw Hope and Yongli waiting for me, they opened the door to let me on the elevator and waved me.

"You're late, Freya!"

"Miss Sonia, did you say anything? \"

"If it's too late, then you can hurry up. After taking a break at the Poké Center, it seems that you are going to be busy with your own research, and I may say goodbye. "For a moment."

"Sonia is working hard, too! Let's go too. ”

Hope pressed the button on the elevator. From the map, there appears to be a huge stadium on the other side of this rather high wall. Watching the elevator move slowly, my heart was full of anticipation

The elevator rotates clockwise, making a "whoosh" sound.

At an incredible rate.

“““？” ””

Just as I was muttering, it went up half a turn clockwise from the bottom and suddenly stopped when it reached the top. Of course, if you move like this, you will leave a lot of inertia

"Wow!?"

"Jojo Jojo!?"

"Ahhh

Hope and I managed to grab hold of the railing so we didn't get thrown off, but Yongli was the only one who couldn't catch the railing in time and was about to fall.

"Yuri!!"

Hope and I reached out to take Yong's hand. Somehow, the two of us grabbed each other's hands to stop Yuri from falling or falling off the elevator.

"Ah, thank you both."

"I'm glad I was there in time and the elevator moved so fast"

"Isn't it safer to move by holding on to the handrails so that the instructions say?"

I think this speed is dangerous. I walked towards the stadium and was glad I was safe. There was a pervert wearing a magic ball hood, and I ignored him for the time being and entered the stadium. The stadium was crowded with people in white uniforms.

"Amazing numbers"

"I wonder if everyone is participating in the gym challenge?"

"In that case, then they are all opponents! I'm so! ”

Indeed, if everyone here is an opponent, then everyone is a strong person who is allowed to participate by the leaders of the gym.

It makes sense that hops would burn.

"Anyway, let's go to the reception first!! \"

I walked past a silver-haired man in a fluorescent pink sweater and walked to the reception.

"Are you a participant in the Gym Challenge? If yes, please submit a letter of recommendation. ”

After listening to the receptionist, I took out a letter of recommendation from my backpack and submitted it.

\"Oh my God, a letter of recommendation from a champion!? That Mr. Dander recognizes him very well, and this is still a letter of recommendation from the Sinnoh champion!? No, it's a former champion now, right? Even so, it's unusual... Which letter of recommendation? It's also the first time I've seen it. Who are you? ”

"I'm a future champion! Because I'm the younger brother of the eldest brother! ”

"Ahh

\"I'm just an acquaintance of Miss Sirona\"

It seems that the champion's letter of recommendation is valuable, and the receptionist is clearly upset. I don't know how important a champion's recommendation is, but maybe it's a rare status. It makes me a little nervous thinking about it. I was a little envious of the smug look on Hope's face as he sat there.

"Anyway, I'm going to sign up for the gym challenge now, please wait a minute."

When I looked around and heard the sound of computer typing in the background, I noticed that there were a lot of people. Not all of them are in uniform, but even so, most of the people here are participants. Brown-skinned, gray-haired, and wearing a black ribbon on his head. A slightly chubby man with white hair and yellow hair, wearing sunglasses. She has a fluffy pink hairstyle with a slight unapproachable touch. A ball floats around a man's tall hat. Etc

There are many unique people who catch your attention, and each of them seems to be a formidable enemy. It's like everyone around you looks smart when you take the entrance exam. I don't know if I can convey it. I've never taken an exam and I've never taken an exam, so it's just what I've heard from other people that they probably don't often fight against other people, but if you go to the end, you're going to have a direct confrontation waiting for them, the so-called opponent.

I've got to conquer the Gym first. It's not good to be too fast. I'm aiming first, but I've got to watch my footsteps.

I took a deep breath and turned my gaze back to the receptionist, who had apparently completed the registration and received another explanation. That being said, while I register my uniform number and participate in the Gym Challenge, from today onwards, I will have free access to the entire Garrell region of the Subomi Lodge and the Armored Gaa Taxi, not much to say. No, a bit generous, the hotel and taxi were free though, even though the reception was at the last minute, the registration was done successfully. It was already dark, so we decided to go to the hotel today, so the three of us left the stadium and walked down.

"Of course, it's amazing, I can't believe Sinnoh has a free taxi to the hotel."

"Is that so? It's more like a normal thing for us. ”

"What kind of trip is it to go to a gym in the Sinnoh area?"

"Everything is moved on your own feet, except for places like the Pokémon Center, which have been open to trainers for free from the beginning, you are all paid, and basically sleep in the wild, so you don't have that much money." Protect as you do here. ”

"Is that the same in other regions?"

"When I first traveled, I had a lot of luggage and it was difficult."

"Now think about Freya's backpack being bigger than ours. \"

In the Galel region, few people carry luggage, probably because the area itself treats travelers and challengers very favorably. Many of the people who arrived earlier had less luggage. If you have luggage, you can check it in on the computer, which doesn't take up space, but I still think that the Garrell people are relatively light and thin. The backpack I used when I traveled was one size bigger than Galel.

"Won't it be inconvenient?"

"It's fun because you can do a lot of interaction with nature and also do a lot of camping. Wild camping is the only place you can enjoy, and there are so many things you can't learn. ”'

"I did hear stories like this that made me want to try camping too."

"Then one day we'll all go camping in the wilderness! Someday we'll be going to the Sinnoh region too! So, Freya, please show us around!! \"

"Me too!! Come on!! ”

"If it were me, I'd be happy."

It seemed that the hotel was not far from the stadium, and we chatted as we walked towards the hotel, and soon the hotel came into view. Since there was nothing special today, the three agreed to go directly to the hotel for dinner, take a rest, and then open the automatic door and walked in.

When I opened the door, a large golden statue with a sword and shield appeared in front of me, and Miss Sonia was standing in front of it, looking like she was thinking about something. What a quick reunion.

"Oh, did the reception go well?"

"Hey! You're on time, we've just agreed to rest early today and prepare for tomorrow's opening ceremony. Then again, Sonia, why are you here? ”

"Because that's one of the clues I'm working on."

The golden statue looked up as it spoke.

According to him, the statue represents a young man who solved the crisis of the Black Knight that attacked Galel in the past. The reason for this is that the authenticity of the documents is doubtful because of their age or lack of documentation, and no matter what kind of phenomenon the Black Knights are, we don't even seem to know what kind of weapons they use to fight. Once it gets to this point, it's doubtful that it actually exists, but if it's famous as a legend, then I guess that means it does. At least on Cheonansan, the folklore of the Sinnoh region is confirmed. That being the case, there's nothing strange here. I don't feel like there's a lot of clues, though

"Well, the research is done by yourselves, and the researchers are the ones who shed light on what we don't know. I'm going to work hard from now on. Well, maybe we're going to say goodbye for a while now? Me: "I'm doing this for my own research. You guys. For the challenge of the gym. Let's do our best for each other's goals. See you then. ”

"Yes, Miss Sonia, keep up the good work! \"

"Good luck, Sonia!!"

"Somewhere again!"

Sonia waved her hand as she walked out of the automatic door. As someone familiar with the challenges faced by the archaeologist Shirona and the doctor Dr. Nanakado, I can understand their difficulties, so I want them to do their best and see them off until they are no longer visible.

"Let's go check it out, we've been wandering in the wilderness for a long time, and we're hungry."

"Me too. I want to eat something and maybe take a shower and sweat."

"Hahaha, the first day of business travel was more tiring than expected?"

Just as I was about to climb the stairs to the reception, I heard what looked like an argument coming from behind. When I reached the top of the stairs, I saw a group of black men with painted faces, towels, and blowing vuvuzzula hanging out at the counter, trying to get through the reception, while behind them were gym challengers. People who seem to be in the dark are criticizing black groups.

"What's going on?"

"I don't know, but I feel a little uncomfortable"

"Let's talk and listen."

\"Ah, wait a minute, Freya!? \"

I walked through the small area where I was hanging out and walked to the front row. As soon as I was about to walk to the reception, I was grabbed by the shoulder.

"What are you doing there?"

"The reception was a bit noisy, so I wondered if something was going on?"

"We are accepting applications, do not disturb!"

"That's what these people say, but what do you think?"

I looked at the receptionist and the gym challengers around me and encouraged them to answer.

"These guys have been standing here for 30 minutes, not moving."

"Yes, that's right! We wanted to stay but couldn't!! ”

"I also didn't hear that he was going to spend the night, in fact, he didn't move when I talked to him"

"Seems I could call Mr. Junser?"

I faintly heard a loud roar. It seems that the people at the hotel are also in trouble.

"We're just here to shout out to a coach."

"This is the serious behavior of our shouting team"

"If you dare to get in my way, I'll tell you how terrible the screaming team is!!"

A group of three people blocked the reception. Team El each knocks down a Pokémon.

Even though it's indoors, it's also merciless, what are you going to do if someone else intervenes?

Two sawtooth bears of different colors and one sawtooth bear of the same color as the six tails came out. The Lotom Pokédex automatically came out of my pocket and scanned the opponent's Pokémon, and I also had the ball ready.

\"Freya, I'll help you! \"

"Me too! It's dangerous to be involved by someone else. ”

"yes, let's go!"

Familiar members Sarnori, Crumpled Baba, and Umematsu appear. There are also texts from Lothom's picture books. The sawtooth appears to be the regional form of Garrell, while the other is a Pokémon named Nan. Both of them are dark attributes, and Zigzag seems to be a combination of normal attributes and dark attributes, so it seems that learning Nidogri's crumpled will be more advantageous.

\"Don't underestimate Team El! Nine Tone \"Electric Light Color Card\"!! \"

\"Zigzag, 'Taitori'!! ”

The Pokémon of Team Malt rushed over, and Kuyin took the lead. However, his movements are very monotonous, and at first glance he looks like a child who has not yet grown up, so we need to act quickly to avoid causing more damage!!

"Mason, 'Mizuno Hata' at the opponent's feet!!"

"Crumpled with the word 'spark'!!"

Yuri noticed my intentions and combined his skills with mine. The fire-based exercises collide with the water-based exercises, producing steam and blocking the other party's view.

"Ape Sect 'Hapa Knife'!!"

Drive the Cutter into the steam and block your opponent's attacks. Use a leaf cutter to destroy them and emit steam, and see the three animals shivering after taking damage

''Mason,'''Mizuno what's going on''!! ''

"Shibani, Nidorjeri!!"

"Ape Sect, Branch!!"

They all wanted to kill them one by one, and did everything they could to defeat them one by one and send them back to the trainer. Nan and the others knelt at his feet and rolled their eyes. Unable to fight.

"I—We're going to lose"

"Hello everyone!!"

When they returned the Pokémon, the Shouting Team's shoulders drooped. An angry roar was heard from the Hyères group. When I looked back, I saw a man with black hair shaved into a double ponytail and green eyes. There is a girl in a punk costume with a pink dress, a black jacket, and pointed-toe heels.

"I'm glad you came to support me, but I told you not to cause trouble to others!! Come on, hurry home!! ”

Al and his party seemed to be driven by the girl's words and fled. Due to the disappearance of the El Group, the reception desk is now empty, and people who could not have been able to register are now pouring into the reception to say thank you, and now they can register. I guess this matter is settled now. It seems that it will take a while to accept it.

Seriously, Al Dan Al Dan. I don't have any fond memories of South Tokadan

As someone who doesn't have fond memories of Duhuatan gin, I'm a little worried about whether there are some weird people in the area

"I'm sorry!!"

Just as I was looking at the reception desk and thinking about it, a voice came from behind me and I turned around. Then, just now, the girl bowed to us.

"The cheerleaders I just mentioned are my cheerleaders. However, challengers from home are rare, so everyone is a little nervous, and I'm really sorry if it makes you feel uncomfortable!! ”'

We blinked and looked at each other. But after only a few seconds, a smile immediately broke out on our faces

"I don't care. I think it seems a bit extreme, but it's amazing that there are fans before the challenge! ”

"That's what people expect from me. It's fantastic. ”

"In this area, you can start attracting fans even before you start, it's fantastic. Good thing, they don't look like the Galaxy Gang no, but this guy from Wan Chan is an executive no I don't think that's true. ”

This time, the girl winked at our words.

\"Ah, yes. My name is Hope. \"

"I'm Yongli."

"I'm Freya. Nice to meet you. ”

"Ahh

After a look of surprise

"I'm Mary. I'm one of the gym challengers like everyone else. Nice to meet you. ”

She, Mary, smiled softly and introduced herself. "Good morning, Frya! I don't think I'm going to sleep with you today! ”

"I didn't oversleep in normal times, but the jet lag reaction was too severe."

This morning, unlike yesterday, I felt refreshed and not lethargic. When I went to the hotel's restaurant for breakfast, there were already other people gathered there besides me.

\"Ah, good morning~ Fria. Today finally begins! \"

\"Oh, good morning, Yuri and Hope invited me, and I'm with them as I was yesterday, I guess there should be no problem, right? \"

"Good morning, Yongli. And Mary, no problem at all. Good morning. ”

I sat next to Hope and said hello. Mary, whom she had only met yesterday, was also seated at a table of four. After introducing myself yesterday, I didn't have anything to do when I returned to my room, so I took the opportunity to invite Marie over, and the four of us had dinner together, and the situation gradually improved. I think I saw Mary this morning when Rylee and Hope left the room to go to breakfast, so I told them I invited her.

"Today is finally the gym challenge! I'm looking forward to the day my legend begins! ”

"I've been doing it all morning. I'm really looking forward to it. ”

"Of course! I'm also going to places like Aniki and so on! ”

"Anniki see, so are you. Maybe I'll understand too. \"

"What about Philia? Are you nervous about gym challenges? ”

"I don't know much about the opening ceremony itself, so I don't know much"

Even though Yuuri asked him, he really didn't quite understand, so I had the impression that he didn't quite understand what he was doing. I wonder what will happen at the opening ceremony before going to the gym?

"Basically, all we have to do is meet the gym curators, champions, and challengers, and listen to the greetings from Rose, who is the president of the Garrell Pokémon League. But it's like a festival once a year, so I'm excited about everyone. ”

"I see"

Is it basically the same atmosphere as before the Pokémon League tournament?

"Well, we'll find out soon. I'm sure Filia will be excited too!! ”

I continued to eat, thinking that I should have had a lot of hope for Hope's words.

After a while, I went back to my hotel room to pack my things after eating. After leaving the hotel, the four of us made a beeline for the stadium.

The stadium was even more lively than yesterday, and it looked like there were not only contestants, but also spectators, and there were significantly more people rushing into the stadium than yesterday. It's a little uncomfortable with the crowds, but the gymnastics challenge participants have already been given uniforms, so be sure to go to the reception

"There are so many people that I feel a little overwhelmed"

"My first time here, I didn't expect so many people"

"Uh, I feel like I'm going to be swept away"

"Brave, brave! Be strong!! \"

The four of us made our way through the crowd to the reception, picked up our uniforms and headed to the locker room. Of course, I said goodbye to Yongli and Mary and changed into a plain white uniform with Hope. Clothes made of pure white cloth with blue lines. He wears the same white glove on his right hand and carries the number "928" on his back that he told the receptionist yesterday.

"This suits you, Freya!"

"Thank you. The atmosphere of the jump is also different. ”

His appearance looks more subdued than usual, and somehow he looks mature and does not have the usual cheerful atmosphere.

"Freya is also a bit of a calm or fluffy or stuff like that, but when she's fighting, she's calm and cool!"

\"I—Is that so? \"

Honest compliments embarrassed me a bit. I've never received a lot of compliments about my appearance, so it's annoying

"Let's go, let's hurry up! Yongli and Mary may also go first. ”

"That's right! You two are going to look good in uniform!! ”

I feigned embarrassment and urged him to move on. Looking around, I saw that most of the people had already made their way to the stadium, so I didn't want to be late or make them wait long, so I hurriedly walked to the waiting room with a jump.

The order of the program for this opening ceremony is that it begins with a speech by Chairman Ross, followed by the entrance of the stadium leaders and champions. Afterwards, our contestants entered, and the gym leader and champion greeted each other in turn. This seems to be a trend, and you can check the venue on the display in the large waiting room before entering. Due to the large number of participants and our slow movement, the waiting room was not as large as the entrance, but it was packed. Since everyone was wearing white uniforms, about 80% of my vision was white, and I felt a little dazzled.

"Ah, Freya! Jump! \"

"The two of them are finally here."

Just as I was about to roll my eyes, a voice called out to me. As I looked in that direction, I saw Yuri and Mary calling out to me.

\"Hey Yongli, Marie! You two look good in uniform too!! \"

"It's jumping! Oh, I remember, what number did you all pick on your back? ”

The four of us got together and the topic was the numbers. As explained yesterday at the reception, if you tell them your three-digit uniform number in advance, they will make you a uniform with that number printed on it. No matter what number a person wears on their back, it can reveal a lot about a person's character and thoughts.

"I'm '189'!! I named it the meaning of jumping!! I'm going to shoot higher than anyone else!! ”

"My name is 960, and I just like black, so I thought it was like this."

"My name is 227. I made it a regular birthday. ”

"I also added the number 928 to my birthday."

"I guess a lot of people wear it on their birthdays, but all gym leaders wear it on their birthdays."

"On the other hand, I don't know anyone who celebrates their birthday."

"Ahh

Yongli and I were speechless. Perhaps Yongli is also thinking that if he uses his birthday number, he may meet with bad luck and cause him to lose the match. That's what I thought, anyway

"I think I'm honest"

"No, but I can't think of it either, but I'm sure your brother has the same number"

As far as I know, today is also Yuri's brother's birthday, and judging by the way he speaks, I wonder if he is lost somewhere? Am I really starting to get scared?

"But Yongli's big brother won the gym challenge."

"Oh, yes, it doesn't matter if it's your birthday."

"Ladies and gentlemen!!"

The microphone's amplified voice reverberates in the area where the jersey number is being discussed. When I looked at the monitor, I saw a fat man in a suit with a distinctive beard around his mouth. I heard "It's Chairman Ross!!" from nowhere. From the picture I remember seeing in the brochure, I guessed that the man was the leader of the alliance that was holding the Gym Challenge.

"My name is Ross, the president of the Alliance. Everyone, we've been waiting for a long time!! It's that time of year again!! An annual festival in the Galar area, the Gym Challenge!! It's finally here!! ”

"Wow, ah!!h

"Huh!?"

Cheers rang out in the waiting room. It was so loud that my body stiffened involuntarily.

It's louder than it was in the Sinnoh League!?

As a contest participant, it's certainly not the first time I've been bombarded with comments like this from the audience. But even in the waiting room, I could hear a voice that easily surpassed that. Clearly, this project is attracting attention from across the region.

If you take a shower without knowing anything, your brain will go blank

''What is the Gym Challenge?'' During this time, there will be a fierce tournament between the best trainers, defeat 8 Gym Leaders and earn 8 Gym Badges, and the winner will become the champion! And you can also participate in the Champions Cup, where the leaders of the gym compete!! ”

Chairman Ross said something similar to the previous message. This may be a commitment that needs to be made. I'm sure it's not zero for a newbie like me. However, there is probably nothing that people who live in Galel do not know. Then Chairman Ross continued to explain in detail, raised his voice, and further enlivened the atmosphere of the audience.

"I'm done, I'm finally going to make my debut!! They are the best gym curators we are proud of!! ”

The point of view moves from Chairman Ross shown on the display to the entrance to the stadium. From the entrance, seven people appeared, exuding the aura unique to a strong man. President Ross will introduce each of the seven individuals.

"Fighting peasants!! Curator of the Grass Gym, Yaro!! ”

Tall, burly, with a gentle smile, he looks like a nice guy.

\"Raging Wave!! Lulina, the curator of the Water System Gym!! \"

A dark-skinned woman with hair mixed with a light blue grid walks with flying kisses.

"The man who burns forever!! Kabu, the curator of the Fire Gym!! ”

An older man, with gray hair and a tall posture, his eyes burning straight ahead.

\"Silent Boy!! Onion, the director of the Ghost Gym!! \"

A neutral man who looked slightly younger, wearing a white mask, walked with his body swaying from side to side.

"Dream Theater!! Fairy Department Gym Curator Poplar!! ”

An old woman dressed in pink and holding an umbrella as a cane walks gracefully and slowly.

\"Ice!! Curator of the Ice Gym, Melon!! \"

A plump woman dressed in warm pure white waving to the audience as she walked.

"Dragon Storm!! There are also top gym curators!! Dragon-shaped Gym Curator Kibana \"

A tall man walks while taking a selfie with his smartphone Lothom while waving to the audience.
