Pokemon Speechless

"It's really spectacular. It deserves to be called Yaoyi City!" As soon as they stepped off the bus, Ling and Shinji were shocked by the scene in front of them.

A few days ago, two people were on their way to Huipi Town, but they overheard the news that because Huipi Town was in a drought period, even the gym would not open, and in order not to get into trouble - such as that With so-called "slow beast gods" everywhere, Ling and Shinji chose to take a detour and took the bus to another city with a gym on the route - Yaoyi City, a city of science and technology.

Yaoyi City is indeed one of the megacities in the Chengdu region, and its degree of development is astonishing. Of course, just "developed" cannot describe this city. For example, Yaoyi City is equivalent to Larus City in the capital city. Together with the latter, it is the only two most developed cities in the world.

Yaoyi City is the economic lifeline of the Chengdu region. Most of the headquarters of large companies in the Chengdu region are located here. The city is busy but not crowded. Maglevs in the sky come and go, and pedestrians on the ground step on automatic passages. Go to your destination, and the existence of the "sky garden" adds a sense of beauty to the city.

Although before the establishment of Yaoyi City, Manjin City was the economic and technological center and the largest city in the Chengdu region, after Yaoyi City grew up, these have become history, but now Manjin City is still One of the most important cities in the Johto region.

Ah, I almost forgot about this city’s unique ID card. Every resident in Yaoyi City will have a magnetic card that represents their identity, and this card is also bound to a bank card and mobile phone number. This way it will be very convenient to go anywhere. , just swipe it and you’re done~

"Welcome to Yaoyi City, please keep this magnetic card." Some playful electronic sounds came from the TV robot. At the same time, it spit out two magnetic cards, handed them to Ling and Shinji, and then flew away to other places.

Trainers who come here for a temporary stay will receive a magnetic card from the small TV robot when they set foot on the land of Yaoyi City. However, this magnetic card does not have as many rights as the card held by local residents. .

"By the way, Shinji, since you've come to Yaoyi City, why not go to the battle tower in Yaoyi City?" Ling suggested to Shinji. The expression on her face was the same as usual, but there was some excitement in her eyes. look.

"Are you looking forward to it?" Shinji looked at Ling and asked. He...he didn't say that he wanted to go too!

Ling nodded and said with a smile: "After all, it is one of the two landmark buildings in Yaoyi City. It would be unreasonable not to go shopping when you come here."

"Then let's go." Shinji pulled on the strap of his backpack and followed the road signs to the nearby automatic passage.

In Yaoyi City, where the corner is the road sign, it is very difficult to get lost. It didn't take long for Ling and Shinji to come to the door of a magnificent tower-shaped building. The layers of bright glass reflected the white clouds and blue sky, which was majestic.

Going up the steps, there is a wide platform. A hundred meters away, two men in guard uniforms stood on both sides of a glass door. There were also two rows of teams composed of men, women, old and young. Most of them carried elves with them. , entering the battle tower one after another.

Seeing this, Ling and Shinji spontaneously stood at the back of the team.

At this time, a young woman in front of them who looked like she was only in her twenties turned around and spoke to them: "You look very unfamiliar, are you a trainer who is traveling abroad?"

"Eh?" Ling was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, I am Minazuki Ling from Shuangye Town in Sinnoh."

"Hasegawa Shinji, from Curtain City." Shinji nodded slightly and introduced himself.

Ling then added: "The two of us are challenging the Chengdu Alliance. This time we came to Yaoyi City to challenge the Yaoyi Gym, but we are also very interested in the battle tower here, so we came to take a look."

"Really? Then I have to remind you who are new here, you'd better take out your badges now, otherwise the guard at the door will not let you in." After hearing this, the woman's expression changed slightly, but It quickly returned to normal.

"Why?" Shinji felt a little strange and asked her.

"It seems that you are just doing it casually. You must have never investigated before coming here." The woman covered her face with her right hand and laughed a few times, "Those who can go to the Battle Tower must have a Taoist weapon." Only with the museum badge can you enter.”

"Oh..." Ling nodded thoughtfully, "That's right. The battle tower is so big. If only elves can enter it, I'm afraid the battle tower wouldn't be able to accommodate such a person if it were doubled in size. It’s for multiple people.”

After thinking about how crowded the battle tower was, Ling couldn't help but shudder. If this was the case, then everyone would not want to have a good battle.

During various chats with the woman, it soon became the turn of the three of them. With the woman's reminder, the two placed the badge box they had taken out long ago in front of the guard and opened it. The guard took out a small instrument and opened it. Their badges were scanned, and there was a "beep" sound, and they moved out of the way, indicating that they could enter the battle tower.

Through the gate of the battle tower, there is a wide hall. Except for a wide bar directly opposite the gate, the rest of the hall has lounges, tea rooms, amusement parks, shopping malls, and a huge electronic screen. The exciting battle attracted groups of people to stop and watch.

What surprised the two of them was that the woman they had been chatting with before did not leave to fight after they entered the battle tower. Instead, she waited for them at the bar. When she saw them walking in, she called them over.

"You..." Ling looked at her with some confusion. Just as he was about to say something, he realized that he didn't even know her name.

"Sorry, I haven't introduced myself before. My name is Maeda Saki. You can just call me by my name." The woman stuck out her tongue apologetically, and then explained her purpose here. "I guess this is your first time. When you come to the Battle Tower, there will definitely be a lot of things you don’t understand, so I want to tell you the process of fighting in the Battle Tower first, but you’d better apply for a magnetic card first.”

"Yes, I understand, Miss Shashu." After saying that, Ling and Shinji, under the explanation of the service staff, simply used the illustrated book to apply for a magnetic card with a transparent tower-shaped pattern in the center.

"This is the scorecard for challenging the battle tower. It can also be used as a pass," Shashu said while shaking the scorecard in her hand. She saw that a large part of her card from the bottom up was bright yellow. The remaining part is completely colorless. "You see, the tower-shaped pattern in the middle of the magnetic card actually corresponds to the battle tower. Whenever the challenger completes a level of challenge and enters the next level, this can be refreshed. A magnetic card lights up a layer of tower-shaped patterns."

"There are actually thirty-eight floors? That's really impressive, Miss Sha Shu..." Looking at the magnetic card in Sha Shu's hand, Ling's eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but be shocked when he counted it in detail, and suddenly thought of something, "That... Sha Shu Miss Shu, the battle tower I just saw doesn’t seem to have as many levels as the battle tower on the magnetic card?”

"Ah, I forgot to mention it," Sha Shu knocked on his head, then pointed to the ground with his finger, and said, "Part of the battle tower is actually underground, so it doesn't seem to have so many floors, then you two Just come with me."

"Hey!" "Yeah." Ling and Shinji responded, following Sha Shu, who was familiar with the process, and took the elevator straight down to the bottom floor of the battle tower: the largest floor in the battle tower, and also the one with the largest number of people in the battle tower. layer.

As soon as he stepped onto the first floor, Sha Shu subconsciously looked at the live video broadcasts on various venues and said: "Ling Sang, Shinji-kun, the battle between No. 3 and No. 9 on the battlefield is almost over. The battle between you two It’s just the next one, we can get over it.”

"Eh? So fast!" Ling and Shinji were both stunned for a moment, and looked at the battlefield respectively. There were people standing around the two venues, but it could be clearly seen from the live video broadcasts of the two battlefields. The names and portraits of the two of them scrolled at the top of the electronic screen. As for the battle between the two on the field...well, it was indeed almost over.

Sha Shu then explained to them at a faster speaking speed: "There is a magnetic card information acceptance system at the elevator exit. That is to say, when you enter the floor that matches the magnetic card information, you will automatically enter a battle arena. The battle ranking sequence, if you don’t participate in the battle, just don’t play within the time specified in the notification later.”

"Site No. 3, the twentieth match, Ling vs. Zhengchen. Please enter within one minute after hearing the notice and mark the magnetic card at the referee's office. Otherwise, it will be deemed as an automatic forfeit; Site No. 3..." Sha Shu just finished speaking. As soon as it fell, the electronic channel on court No. 3 began to scroll with subtitles. Behind Ling, another player's photo and name appeared, and a sweet voice accompanied by light music rang throughout the venue.

"Alright, Ling Sang, come on over." Sha Shu pushed Ling and said, "I will explain the rest to you after this battle between you and Shinji-kun is over."

"Okay, Miss Shashu, and Shinji, you have to work hard for your battle." Ling smiled and trotted towards the third field, and then Shinji also walked towards the ninth field.

On the other side, a yellow-haired boy walked towards the referee. He was about fourteen years old, somewhat handsome, and the sunny smile on his face made people like him even more.

"Ling? Zhengchen? Please show your two magnetic cards!" The referee looked at the two people walking towards him and asked first. After receiving confirmation, he took the magnetic card from the two people and inserted it into a cabinet instrument behind him. , I immediately saw that the electronic screen on the third field was occupied by the heads of Ling and Zhengchen. In the middle was a big "vs" word, with flames lingering in the background, which was very impressive.

"Two of you, the game is determined by one round. There are two rules. One is singles, both sides use one elf to fight. The other is doubles, each side uses two elf to fight. Please make your choice. , if the choices are different, the final decision will be made by the Magikarp Coin." The referee said while looking at Ling and Zhengchen, waiting for their answers.

"Let the lady decide~" Before Ling could speak, Zhengchen blinked and said, "Ling Sang is cute and good-looking, so I will definitely not object to your decision. If Ling Sang wants to repay you, After this fight, go on a date with me~"

Ling:...? ? ? [Black question mark face]

#What should I do if someone I meet for the first time invites me on a date? I am waiting online urgently! ! ! #

[Amane: Shinji, come here, your wife is going to be snatched away (bububuni)]

Ling Lian stepped back, waved his hands and forced a smile: "Let's forget about the date, Zhengchen-kun, after all, this is the first time we meet, so if we are in battle mode, we can just play alone."

"Hey... I was rejected by Ling Sang... I'm so sad..." Although Zhengchen said this, there was no sad expression on his face, "Forget it, let's just go alone."

Masaomi's shocking words just now scared the referee, and then he came to his senses and said, "Is there any elf that needs to be teleported?" While speaking, he pressed a button on the instrument behind him, and immediately there were two teleports. The device rises.

"No~need~" Zhengchen immediately refused, and Ling immediately shook his head.

"Okay, the battle begins, please get ready!" The referee nodded, and after Ling and Zhengchen stood in their corresponding positions, he raised the flag and announced, "The next thing to be played is the battle between Ling and Zhengchen. , only one elf can be used in the battle. When one elf loses its ability to fight, the battle ends! Please release your elf!"

"Chief Swan, prepare for battle!" Ling threw an elf ball, flipped it open, and an elegant white elf appeared on the field.

"Then I'm the cat boss!" Immediately after Ling, Zhengchen also released his own elf, which was a well-developed cat boss.
