Pokémon: Stranger Things

"I didn't expect such a thing to be entrusted to me..."

A woman wearing a rabbit ear headband looked at the news from a friend on her mobile phone and didn't know whether to smile or make other expressions.Following her was a Mary Luli.Because the small form of Mary Luli is very cute, there are not a few trainers who will become partners with them.

But this young woman's Mary Luli is different.The body color of this Mary Luli is not the normal blue and white, but the blue part has been transformed into black, which can be said to be a very unique individual.

Naturally, there is only one trainer who can carry black Mary Luli, and that is Inaba, the mysterious trainer who has a close relationship with the champion dust.

"It stands to reason that I should have informed the lady."

Inaba put his phone away.In fact, Inaba does have many secrets, many of which she has not even mentioned to Chensha.For example...she is actually closely related to a mysterious lady who lives in seclusion in the Sinnoh area.

Of course, that kind of thing is fine anyway.That knowledgeable and wise woman had already anticipated the occurrence of many events, including this event predicted by Chensha and the others.However, Inaba hadn't received the news before, so she wasn't ready to run for it.

Because of this, Inaba's first thought was to inform the lady.But... I believe that the lady's judgment must also be helping Chensha and the others.Besides, Inaba already had this kind of thought.

"Mari Luli, let's take action. The first thing we should do is to visit the Kanto Alliance...it's really troublesome."

Inaba touched her hair helplessly, she would always do this subconsciously when encountering such a laborious task.She asked Mary Luli to follow her, although it was not in her style to do such a troublesome thing, but it was to help an important friend... Then there was nothing to say.So what if it's a little troublesome?

Unlike Inaba, who felt a little troubled, Mariluri was as energetic and energetic as she always was, and she was already ready to run around.Seeing how motivated his partner was, Inaba also raised some enthusiasm.After all, when visiting those alliance members... you still have to pay attention to politeness.

The location of Inaba at this time happened to be in Evergreen City in the western part of the Kanto region.It is not far from the Quartz Plateau, where the Kanto Alliance is located, but it takes some effort to cross the Champion Road.After all, Inaba's trip was in a hurry this time, and he didn't apply for some documents in advance, so he could only take the road of championship.

"Speaking of Changqing City, I do remember something from the past."

The journey was a bit boring, and since Inaba was used to traveling alone most of the time, she had already formed the habit of chatting with Marili.Although Mary Luli can't speak, she can understand Inaba's words and respond with actions, so she can communicate with Inaba without any pressure.

"The Changqing Gymnasium still has no owner. This is because...the previous owner of the Evergreen City was the Rockets boss Osakaki. He is really good at hiding his identity. Being the owner of the gym is so difficult. His true identity was not discovered by the Kanto Alliance. If he hadn't taken the initiative to reveal his identity, maybe he is the current Guan master!"

Inaba, who often travels in various regions, is very well-informed, and her memory is also very good, and she can recall past memories almost instantly, which is even stronger than Dust.Even if it was an incident several years ago, Inaba now can easily recall it.

But, if you understand it, you understand it. Inaba really doesn't have any experience with members of the Rockets.What's more, the Rockets are not as bewildered as those organizations operating in other regions. Their purpose has always been simple, that is, how to seek more benefits.An organization with a pure purpose seems to be less harmful.

"Well, after all, it's not those organizations that talk about creating new worlds or expanding land and sea."

Inaba shrugged.When she was on the phone with Chensha before, she had heard some travel experiences told by Chensha and her, and she also learned about the organizations that were active in other areas.Of course, those organizations are now either in the background or have fallen apart and can no longer cause harm.Every time I think about this, Inaba feels that his friend...is really a nice person.No matter where you go, you are willing to help with these things.

"There is a limit to being a good person. It will be tiring to always be like this... Besides, you are not alone now."

Thinking of this, Inaba inevitably looked up at the distant sky.At this moment, her partner Chensha should be working hard in other areas as well.Although Inaba always wanted to find an opportunity to tell Chensha to wake up, and let her save some energy and time to pay more attention to her family, but as a partner, Inaba naturally knew Chensha's personality.There was no way she could choose to turn a blind eye while witnessing the plight of others.

"Then, let me help him a little bit, just to save her some time and solve this matter earlier."

Inaba muttered silently in his heart.Even though it was very troublesome to walk through the champion's road, she decided to take this road directly. After all, this was the only choice, and it was faster than going to apply for a certificate temporarily, and now she couldn't afford to waste time.

In the Kanto region, the road to champions has a unique meaning.Because this path is specially designed to test whether the trainer has the qualifications to pass the test.Of course, if you apply for a certificate in advance with the collected gym badges, you can reach the Quartz Plateau through another road.This is because there is no need to worry about the strength of a trainer who has collected enough badges.

It's a pity that Inaba has never challenged gymnasiums in the Kanto area before.In her girlhood, she never thought of challenging the gym here.

"The Kanto area and the Johto area are very closely connected...but the badges can't be shared."

Inaba opened the badge box she carried with her, which contained the Joto Alliance badges she had collected when she was a little girl.Unfortunately, it doesn't work in the Kanto area.It's like you can't use the badge of the United Region to pass the Quartz Conference assessment.

There is no way, it is too late to challenge a round of Gymnasium now.Because the Kanto area has also encountered some minor incidents recently... the volcanic eruption in Honglian Town some time ago, if the alliance had not given an early warning, casualties would have been unavoidable.The original Red Lotus Gymnasium in Honglian Town is now relocated to Twin Islands.Arranging a voyage to the Twin Islands is more troublesome and will take a lot of time, so this method cannot be considered.

Then, the choice left to Inaba is to take his elves to the championship road.It is also optional to send a message to the Kanto Alliance in advance, but that will owe favors, and it will be even more difficult to ask for help when the time comes.Thinking it was to save a friend some trouble, Inaba decided to suffer himself.

Due to the rush of the trip, Inaba did not bring too many spirits with him.Apart from Mary Luli, who was always by her side, there were only Flame Ace and Nudibranch.On the bright side, at least the Flame Ace with the characteristic of [Freeman] should be able to deal with some difficult situations; the strength of Mary Luli and Sea Bunny is also trustworthy, so there shouldn't be any major problems.

In this way, Inaba got into the championship road.She had no idea what test the alliance had arranged for this championship road, she only knew that she had to pass here.

"Really...you are really causing me trouble again."

After a long journey, Inaba finally walked out of the championship road.It's just that Inaba is obviously not in a good state now.

Inaba held onto the roadside sign with his hands to prevent himself from falling directly to the ground due to loss of strength.If Inaba were to give an evaluation, then she would give everyone in the Kanto Alliance a middle finger. They should really evaluate the strength of the elves in the Champion Road.

If you follow the normal route, then the difficulty of the challenge of the championship road is reasonable.The wild elves living here are not so aggressive. As long as they are willing to use their brains to decipher, a trainer with a certain strength can easily pass the championship road.

But Inaba couldn't take the normal route, because it would take too much time.So Inaba took a special route, that is, a shortcut.Obviously, the Kanto Alliance does not want the trainers to take shortcuts, they want to cultivate the down-to-earth character of the new trainers.So... this shortcut is very dangerous.

Among them, what Inaba still remembers is the wonderful encounter between her and Longlongshi and Longlongyan. It is really a pleasure not to mention it.Long Longshi, who lives on the road to the championship, is quite gentle, but this group of Long Longshi and Long Longyan who will appear on the shortcut... are like a group of hungry and thirsty dead houses. Impulsive, he rushed forward directly.

Of course, their choices are also very terrifying, almost self-destructing when they meet.If it weren't for Inaba's fairly excellent athletic ability, she would probably be blown to the point of losing consciousness.It can only be said that Inaba was a little thankful that Chensha didn't have to take this shortcut to the championship.With her friend's athletic ability... Well, maybe even some narrow passes cannot be passed, after all, her figure is a bit special, right?

Also, almost every body of water... can see signs of Gyarados activity.This group of things is extremely aggressive even if they live in the outside world, not to mention the Gyarados living in this shortcut that makes people feel unclear.Almost just making eye contact, this group of tyrannosaurus will attack desperately.Fortunately, Flame Ace is there, and Inaba can direct Flame Ace to stun the group of Gyarados with electric balls.

If he did this kind of thing in other places, Inaba felt that he would be approached by the elf protection organization soon.After all, it is illegal to use electric moves on a large scale against water elves in the wild.But in this kind of place, there is no need to care so much.If he didn't do this, Inaba felt that he might have been eaten and digested by the Gyarados now, maybe he was already waiting for reincarnation.

The only lucky thing is that the auspicious eggs living here have not changed their temperament drastically.When seeing Inaba and her elves in a situation of low energy, they will come to treat them specially.This made Inaba's heart full of gratitude, and she decided to find a chance to return here after dealing with this incident, and take in a lucky egg as a partner.As a repayment of this kindness.

"It stands to reason that I should go directly to the Quartz Plateau, but first..."

Inaba moved his left hand to the top of his head, and adjusted the position of the headband where only the rabbit ears remained.Even the rabbit ear headband that Inaba cherished so much has changed into this appearance, one can imagine the state of the other clothes on Inaba's body now.

I'm afraid even the homeless on the side of the road will not wear such shabby clothes.After all, Inaba had withstood the indiscriminate bombardment from Rumble Stone on the shortcut of the championship road, and it was lucky that his clothes were not completely bombed.At least for now, it can still cover the body.

If he went to the Quartz Plateau in this state, he might be regarded as a mental illness by the alliance staff.In any case, Inaba is not in love and married yet, so he still cares about his own image!She also worked as a fashion model before, if this appearance is seen, her life will probably end early.

"Although I really don't want to do this...but there is nothing I can do now."

Mary Luli, who was also blown unconscious, heard Inaba's decision, so she handed over to Inaba the luggage that the group of them had kept most along the way.It not only stores the information that Chen Sha sent to her, but also a set of clothes that Inaba doesn't really want to wear.

What style of clothing would complete a set with this bunny ear headband?The answer is a...weird outfit that mimics the jackrabbit.This was the clothes Inaba wore when she attended the Jackrabbit Club's gathering before, but for some reason, she put this outfit in her backpack by accident this time.

Although Inaba wearing this outfit looks like a big sister who can do strange things, at least it is better than wearing tattered clothes.Inaba sat on the ground and combed his somewhat messy hair again, no matter what, he was back to the ranks of normal people now.

For his friend, Inaba has already sacrificed a lot along the way, and he doesn't care how much he has to suffer.Whether it is the pain suffered on the road, or the shameful play that may appear next...it doesn't matter anymore.

Now Inaba only hopes that his own efforts can help Chensha.If I can get my friend to solve that crisis, I will have made a worthwhile trip.
