The fifth king of the elves

Chapter 5 5. Prove Your 6V6
Dr. Yamanashi looked at Luther and continued: "The illustration book is usually issued to newcomer trainers who have potential and are favored by the research institute, and this age is usually ten years old."

"But as far as I know, Xiaozhi in Zhenxin Town didn't know anything about most of the knowledge when he set off. He can be called a noob." Luther shrugged, "What do you mean by having potential and being favored by the research institute?"

"Is that true?" Dr. Yamanashi showed a rare smile, "Dr. Oki is in the same class as me, and he is my junior. I understand how he sees people. Although Xiaozhi didn't have enough knowledge to start in a hurry, he had a very deep bond with elves since he was a child. And the fact is also true. His bond with elves made him stand out."

Who knows what you say!
Luther once again felt the malice of the world, and he has never seen these plots at all... It seems that it is quite risky to use the plot of animation to predict actions in the future, and it may overturn somewhere.

"Speaking of which, why do you want the illustration book?"

"In order to become an excellent trainer!" Luther replied without hesitation.

"The four heavenly kings in the Sinnoh region don't have illustrated books, but they are also excellent trainers."

Luther felt that he couldn't make up a better reason. He couldn't say that in his own world, many people wished to have a picture book in their childhood, and then bring their favorite elves for an adventure, right?

In this dream, the most important components, one is the illustration book, and the other is your own elf.

Luther already had his own elf, and this part full of ritual and dream-chasing was only left with the illustration book. How could Luther give up on a rare opportunity to realize his dream.

Seeing Luther lost in thought, Dr. Yamanashi opened the box on the table that was covered by paper. Inside the box was a picture book and six poke balls.

Under Luther's longing eyes, Dr. Yamanashi picked up the illustrated book and asked seriously, "How much do you understand the illustrated book?"

"The mobile elf database can help novice trainers quickly obtain data and view the data of subduing elves."

"anything else?"

Luther remembers that the illustration book in the animation should provide these functions... The setting of querying the data and attribute values ​​​​of the conquered elves seems to have appeared in the Sinnoh area...

Originally wanted to tell the game setting, but afraid of saying something wrong again, Luther decided to shut up and shook his head.

"Illustrated Book is also a window for various trainers to provide data for researchers and doctors. The trainers who are distributed take the illustrated book to take adventures and meet all kinds of elves. The data they record will be regularly fed back to each research institute. The stories that happened between them and the elves will be told to us by their respective owners, so that we can start new research directions and supplement research topics."

"Not every rookie trainer is eligible to obtain a picture book from the research institutes in various regions. Before obtaining the picture book, all the picture book holders are observed by the institution affiliated to the research institute for a long time. After secretly evaluating various matters, they will be contacted by the research institute to obtain a picture book. Although the awarding specifications of each research institute are slightly different, the starting point is the same..."

The sharp eyes of the mountain pear eagle made Luther feel uncomfortable.

"We have to live up to who we are."

"I'm worthy of my status..." Luther repeated dully.

Dr. Yamanashi stroked the illustrated book lightly, and said: "As a person who studies elves, the most contacted are elves and trainers. With the support of the ten-year-old adult law, young trainers go to every corner of the world, but what they meet is unknown. This kind of risky action is passionate for children who want to open their eyes to see the world... As people who have experienced it, we have no right to interfere, but we can prevent possible dangers with our own professional ethics."

"It is our responsibility to elves and trainers to refuse those passionate teenagers who have no self-preservation ability, no experience in wild life and common sense of life to take risks. At the same time, we will tell them the cruel facts, hit them, and tell them that they are not qualified to be the owners of the illustrated book and have no ability to travel. The recent active promotion of the abolition of the ten-year-old adult law campaign has also been signed by major research institutes. This is our professional ethics. Moreover, the illustrated book has another value."

"What value?" Luther asked.

Dr. Yamanashi patted the illustrated book: "Guess how many trainers hold the illustrated book?"

Luther froze for a moment, this question is completely beyond the outline, well, this matter was never mentioned in the animation.Luther only knows that occasionally there will be a few wonderful characters who bring the illustrated book to guest-star in a few episodes, but they mentioned it a little in the special episode. It seems that the number of people who own the illustrated book does not exceed twenty...

"1000 people?" The data in the special chapter couldn't be used, and Luther carefully said a number that he thought was reasonable.

"One thousand?" Dr. Yamanashi raised his eyebrows, "So far, the illustration books sent by the research institutes in each region are no more than 200 people."

The memories about this world in the memory of the original factory Luther told me that this world is much wider than the animation world I know... A big reason for the low population density is that there are too many lands.

Considering that in such a vast area as the Sinnoh region, there are only 200 trainers who can be recognized by the institute, Luther's heart is half cold.

He has never been a top-notch existence since he was a child. In school, when reporting his grades to his family, he can only vaguely say that he is above average, and average. He is not outstanding at work and does not make mistakes.

The word mediocrity can clearly describe Luther's life. He is not content with mediocrity... It's just that every time he looks up at those who stand at the top, he is always out of breath, and in the process of constantly looking up and comparing, his heart that wants to fight hard is broken a little bit.

"Just like you want to get my help through Qilan's introduction, the illustrated book I gave you is actually a recommendation, a powerful stepping stone. Because most trainers know that the owner of the illustrated book is a person recognized by various regional research institutes, doctors, and the institutions behind them...It has a strong extended value. The holder is equivalent to having us endorse him in the trainer circle."

"Do you understand what the pictorial book represents now?" Yamanashi glanced at Luther, who had dim eyes, and shook his head in disappointment, "You have not overcome the phobia, and you don't know enough about elves, and now you seem to lack self-confidence. I must be responsible for your safety...you lack the qualifications to receive the pictorial book..."

The light of the elf ball flashed on the ground, and the figure of Lalulas appeared in front of Luther.

Luther picked up Lalulas and said to Dr. Yamanashi: "I don't lack self-confidence! Lalulas is still willing to follow me, which is enough to prove that I have not flinched!"

As if aware of Dr. Yamanashi's gloomy gaze, Lalulas shrank and leaned into Luther's arms. This kind of intimate behavior made Dr. Yamanashi look a little more relaxed.

Silence spread in the hall, Yamanashi and Luther stared at each other motionlessly.

As if sensing the unwillingness and stubbornness hidden in Luther's eyes, Yamanashi broke the suffocating silence, and said softly, "Prove it to me."

Luther and Lalulas looked at each other and asked, "Prove what?"

"Your ability." Dr. Yamanashi turned around and connected the videophone, and several researchers appeared on the other end of the phone.

After communicating with other researchers, Dr. Yamanashi led a somewhat dazed Luther through the hall to the open area on the backside of the institute.

Luther finally knew where the remaining elves with other attributes were. There were many small breeding houses in the area hidden behind the research institute, and many elves lived in these small houses.

A trolley full of Poke Balls, half a person tall, was pushed over by several researchers.

"Each illustrated book holder has a different personality, behavior style, and attitude towards elves. But the same thing is their love and bond with elves. Only by knowing your own elves and trusting each other with your own elves can you be called a qualified trainer."

"Some Pokédex holders think elves are his partners, some Pokédex holders think elves are his teachers, and some Pokédex holders think elves are comrades-in-arms who share weal and woe..."

Luther felt that this passage was so familiar... It was like a reprint of the special Dr. Oki, and he instantly understood what was waiting for him.

Luther's heart was beating wildly nervously, and even his breathing became very short. There is no doubt that Dr. Yamanashi will use the battle to test himself.But he has never played a Pokémon battle, at least in this world... he is only familiar with the turn-based system.

"Although I don't know what your answer will be, but what can we see through this test." Dr. Yamanashi picked up a poke ball in the trolley and threw it out, and a hat mushroom appeared on the ground. "As you can see, this trolley is the pokemon used by our research institute. You and I each choose six and have a 6V6 battle."

As ugly as Luther's face is, this is simply a copy of the difficulty of hell.If 3V3 can best reflect the level of a trainer, then 6V6 is a test of a trainer's comprehensive ability against battles and elves.

I'm just a newcomer who hasn't traveled for a week. I haven't played a real elf battle once. I just play 6V6 when I come up. Dr. Yamanashi, can't you afford it?

Luther glanced at the elf ball in the trolley, and then at the bamboo hat mushroom on the ground, determined to fight for a chance of winning: "In the case of each choice, you know far more about the elves in the research institute than I do, and I am completely at a disadvantage. Doesn't that mean that I will lose no matter what I choose?"

"No, you misunderstood what I mean." Dr. Yamanashi shook his head. "What I mean is, we will each choose six of them without looking at the elves in the poke ball."
