Pokémon: Psychic Fighting Master

After spending one night at Xiaogang's house, Haoyan continued on his journey to Zhenxin Town.

"Haoyan, be careful on the road." Xiaogang said to Haoyan with a smile.

Xiaogang's eyes were narrowed, and when he smiled, he couldn't even see his eyes.

"I will. If you need any help, please contact me." Haoyan also smiled back.

"Okay, help me be nice to Dr. Oak."

"No problem, goodbye."

"goodbye!"

……

Between Nibi City and Joban City is the most famous Joban Forest in the Kanto region.

There are twists and turns in the Viridian Forest, with various forking paths.

Most of the forests are places where grass, insects, and bird Pokémon gather.

Pokémon on the ground, rocks, and steel are mostly concentrated in some mountainous areas.

Needless to say, most of the water-type Pokémon live in the sea.

According to information on the Internet, there are many types of landforms in the Viridian Forest.

There are plains, basins, rainforests, lakes, and even small areas of sandy land.

This also leads to the fact that there are other types of Pokémon deep in Viridian Forest.

It's not just bugs, grass, and flying Pokémon.

Haoyan quickly walked through the forest road. Because of Xiaogang's reminder, he released Gardevoir and Lucario during the walk.

Let them use their respective specialties and be alert to enemies that may appear at any time.

After all, a cadre can defeat Xiaogang, which means that this cadre named Lance has at least a king-level combat power.

This has to be dealt with carefully.

However, along the way, I didn't find anyone suspicious.

He quickly passed through the forest and arrived at Joban City.

Haoyan, who came to Joban City, was a little surprised by the depression in Joban City.

Although Haoyan did not travel around like an ordinary trainer, he spent most of his time doing tasks to earn living expenses, or practicing with Pokémon.

But I have been to many cities, and this is the first time I have seen such a depressed city.

Let’s compare Nibi City, which we just visited. If Nibi City is a second-tier city, then Joban City is not even as good as a fifth-tier city.

The surrounding houses were obviously dilapidated.

Only a few street shops are open.

Calling it a city is a bit reluctant.

Even the size is not as good as Haoyan's home, Qiuye Town.

It's not as big as Joban City.

If it weren't for the people around him carrying the baby ball, Haoyan would have doubted that he had arrived in Blue Star Township in the early 90s.

"Hello, may I ask where the gym in Joban City is?" Haoyan asked in a friendly manner to a passerby who was walking with a small ratta in his arms.

When passers-by saw Hao Yan approaching and asked questions, they subconsciously took a step back and said warily and unfriendly: "Are you a traveling trainer?"

Haoyan didn't expect such a big reaction from passers-by. He raised a friendly smile and said, "Yes, I came to Kanto from another area to travel."

Seeing Haoyan say this, the passerby relaxed a little, but not completely, and continued to ask: "Then can you show me your badge?"

"???" Haoyan was a little speechless, wasn't he just asking for directions? He actually asked one after another, trying to determine where Haoyan was coming from.

But when things go wrong, there must be a monster. If passers-by are so wary, something bad must have happened before.

Haoyan didn't mind the vigilance of passers-by.

He took out the box containing the badge and showed the Nibi badge that Xiaogang got to passers-by.

The passerby clearly saw the badge in Haoyan's hand, and then he completely relaxed and muttered in a low voice: "He is really a trainer. If he is a member of Team Rocket, he will not waste time to challenge the gym."

Although the passers-by spoke in a low voice, Haoyan, who was close, still heard them clearly, with a solemn look on his face.

An ordinary resident of Joban City became so sensitive because of Team Rocket.

It seems that the damage caused by the Rockets to Tokiwa City is not small.

"Go straight along this road. When you see a fork in the road, turn left. There is the Tokiwa Gym."

"But the Tokiwa Gym closed down a few years ago, and the gym owner has always been mysterious and hasn't appeared for a long time." A passerby pointed in the direction and said to Haoyan.

"Okay, thank you." After receiving the information, Haoyan was about to leave.

Haoyan had already anticipated the closure of the Viridian Gym.

Because the gym leader is Sakaki, the leader of Team Rocket.

The purpose of asking is to see if the real situation is consistent with what is known.

"Well, wait a minute!" A passerby saw Haoyan raising his feet to leave and called him.

"Huh?" Haoyan stopped and looked at passers-by.

"Well, be careful..."

"People from Team Rocket often appear in Joban City. They do evil things. Never show your Pokémon in front of them."

"Once they take a fancy to you, they will directly snatch it away!"

"My Bibi bird was snatched away by them like this..." a passerby reminded me kindly.

Haoyan patted the other party's shoulder and nodded gently, indicating that he understood.

Then, he left Joban City.

……

Where there is light, there is darkness.

He is familiar with the world of Pokémon and knows that every region has its own criminal organizations.

Just like his birthplace, Hoenn region.

There are water fleets and fire fleets, fighting to expand the area of ​​​​the ocean or land.

In the Sinnoh region, there is Team Galactic, trying to create a world without hearts.

In the Unova region, there is Team Plasma.

In the Kalos region, there is Team Flare.

……

Compared with Team Rocket in the Kanto area, these evil organizations have a softer style.

This can be known from the fact that Haoyan set foot in the Kanto area and met people and things one after another.

"We must improve our strength quickly so that we can survive in this world that looks peaceful on the surface but is actually full of undercurrents." Haoyan thought to himself.

Now that it is confirmed that the Viridian Gym will no longer be open, there is no need to continue to stay in Viridian City.

Set off towards Zhenxin Town.
