Pokémon Memories and Journeys

There was not a single gust of wind in the gym, but the entire atmosphere changed.The air was quiet for a while, and Alija narrowed her eyes solemnly. She had held the position of museum leader for many years, and her intuition told her that the challenger in front of her seemed to be different.

Lilith raised her head: "My last Pokémon is Shuttlecock Grass."

"Hana Hana" Zhuo Zicao still had some doubts after arriving at the venue. After all, this was her first time coming to a regular fighting venue.It looked around curiously and immediately understood what was going on.

"Come on, Shuttlecock Grass. This is your first gym match. We must not lose, do you understand?" Lilith's morale suddenly improved, infecting the entire venue.

Sundae, who was frightened in the audience just now, was really sweating for Lilith who didn't perform well.This time her expression finally relaxed, and she understood that Lilith was back to her original state.

"Hana" Shuttlecock had been watching the passionate battle between the fire dinosaurs and the others. As a Pokémon, how could Shuttlecock not yearn for such a scene.Coupled with Lilith's encouragement, Shuttlecock is now fighting.High ambition.

"It's not that easy to get the Rainbow Badge of our Rainbow Gym." It seemed that this game was going to be interesting, Alicia thought, "We will strike first, Stinky Flower, dissolve the liquid."

"Stinky" followed the same tactics as before. Alija first controlled the battle field as her home court, and soon the entire field was filled with dissolving liquid.

"Stay away from the shuttlecock, be careful not to touch the dissolving liquid, your battlefield is in the air." Since the ground is not good, then use the aerial venue. As a grass-type Pokémon, shuttlecock cannot fly very high, but it will dissolve when it touches it. The liquid and poisonous gas emitted are still enough.

"Hana" Shuttlecock dodged easily. Shuttlecock's racial value of speed is still very advantageous among grass-type Pokémon.

"Shuttlecock grass uses cotton robes" Lilith's life

"Pfft." Alicia suddenly laughed when she heard the name of Lilith's special move. "Newcomer, you are still too naive. Don't you know that pollen-type special moves have no effect on grass-type Pokémon?"

"Shuttlecock continues to use paralyzing powder." Of course Lilith knew this common thing, but Lilith didn't take Alija seriously and insisted that Shuttlecock use pollen to attack.

Alija shook her head, obviously a little disappointed with Lilith, "Smelly flower doesn't need to be afraid of those powders, use sweet gas."

Still using the same move just now, Lilith raised her lips and pinched her nose quietly to prevent herself from inhaling the gas.

"Hana" Shuttlecock Grass sniffed the smell, "Hana"

Alicia originally thought that the shuttlecock would not last long and would fall over, but the shuttlecock was not affected. Instead, it danced happily in the air, as if seeing an old friend, dancing with the sweet smell of pollen and smelly flowers. .

"How could it be possible?" Alija did not expect that countless challengers who had come to the Rainbow Gym would bow down to the sweet smell of the smelly flower or lose their battle sovereignty, but this shuttlecock smelled an "indescribable" sweet smell. Later, he became more and more courageous as he fought.

"My shuttlecock is not an ordinary shuttlecock. It has grown up in a flower house, and it is not surprised to find any kind of flower scent, including the smell of your smelly flowers. Other Pokémon may be intolerable. This smell actually has an exciting effect on my shuttlecock."

"Hana Hana." The shuttlecock grass emitted little bits of white light, and the shuttlecock grass floated in the air, with some petals and young leaves scattered from it.

Looking at the shuttlecock grass, the owner of the grass department suddenly felt a resonance.There seems to be a scene like this in front of you: an endless sea of ​​flowers, like a fairyland on earth, with busy and cheerful grass elves shuttling among the flowers, and everywhere is filled with a kind of unrestrained, free and intoxicating vitality.

For a moment, Alija felt that this was not a battle venue but a stage for Shuttlecock Grass.

The white light on the Shuttlecock Grass slowly spreads, and is about to surround the Shuttlecock Grass and condense it into a light group.

"This is" Alija's pupils shrank, "evolution"

The corners of Lilith's mouth raised. She had calculated before that Shuttlecock Grass had only one chance of breakthrough in its evolution.She finally waited. The atmosphere of the fighting manufacturer infected Shuttlecock. Coupled with the combat experience Shuttlecock learned, Shuttlecock finally evolved.

The white light dissipated, and the Pokémon standing on the field had a round green body and stubby arms, feet, and tail.There are large, flat ears on both sides of the head, and a bright yellow flower on the top of the head.It is the shuttlecock flower that shuttlecock grass evolved into.

"Hana" evolved into the shuttlecock flower. The shuttlecock plant not only changed in size, but also became more full of natural power.

"Shuttlecock Flower continues to use paralyzing powder on Stinky Flower"

"Don't be afraid of the Stinky Flower, use venom to attack." Alija ordered, "Oh, the situation will not change even if it evolves. The Stinky Flower will still not be affected by pollen."

"That's not certain." Lilith was confident, as if everything was within her expectations.

"Stinky smelly" Stinky smelly flower let out a cry of pain, and the movement that wanted to use venom to attack also stopped.A trace of electricity actually flashed on it.That's right, Stinky Flower has entered a state of paralysis.

"How could that happen?" Alicia was surprised.Theoretically speaking, grass-type Pokémon will not be affected by powder-type attacks.Unless Alija took a look at the state of the Stinky Flower, the leaves of the Stinky Flower were shaking violently as if it was convulsing. "It is indeed like this." Alija exclaimed in her heart. She never thought that a new trainer would actually Will take advantage of this characteristic of grass-type Pokémon.

Sundae on the stage stretched out his smile and said, "That's it. Ordinary plants will release plant flow that provides energy after movement, and the same is true for grass-type Pokémon. The plant electricity of grass-type Pokémon itself will not have much impact on itself. . Since the plant current is unstable after extensive exercise, Lilith asked Shuttlecock to use a cotton robe, which seriously stimulated the plant current in the body of the shuttlecock. The influence of the plant current was amplified and confused. As a result, the body system of the shuttlecock was withdrawn. The protective film on the leaves stabilizes the plant current in the body, which gives Paralysis Powder an opportunity. As expected of Lilith, she actually uses the body system of grass-type Pokémon to make Stinky Flower lose its immunity to pollen."

Sundae himself is the heir to the Pokémon Academy and has learned all kinds of advanced knowledge about Pokémon since he was a child.The trick Sundae used on this creature that Lilith used was immediately apparent.However, Sundae also really admired Lilith. This kind of bioelectricity knowledge was usually only used for research, but he didn't expect it to be used on the battlefield. This also taught Sundai a lesson.

Alicia, who is an expert in grass-type Pokémon, naturally quickly discovered Lilith's tactics.Alija smiled bitterly, she was the one who underestimated her enemy in the end.

"I surrender." Alija's voice was not very loud, but it was enough for the entire venue to hear.

Alija walked to the field and picked up the paralyzed Stinky Flower, "The paralysis state will not be lifted by time, and this is paralysis caused from within the plant cells. The error rate of Stinky Flower's special move will be as high as 80%. Your shuttlecock doesn't seem to be affected by the sweetness. I lost this game. Congratulations, Lilith of Zhenxin Town, you successfully won the gym competition of Rainbow Gym. I recognize your strength. .”

Alija is also very generous as a socialite and admits her failure heartily.

Lilith blinked. She was a little surprised that Erica would admit defeat.Although she controls the entire battlefield, it will still take a certain amount of time to completely defeat the Stinky Flower with the weak attack power of the Shuttlecock Flower.But now that Alija has given up, Lilith has succeeded.

"That's great." Lilith reacted and threw herself on Shuttlecock. "Shuttlecock, you did it. You won your first gym match."

"Hana" the shuttlecock also looked very happy, with a few tears of joy squeezed out of its eyes. For the shuttlecock, the fire dinosaurs are role models for it to learn from. Every time I see them fighting, Shuttlecock Cao has always longed to be as powerful as them. Now that it has won the gym competition for Lilith, it means that it is the same as the fire dinosaurs.

"Hanahana" was originally just a little gardener on the St. Ann who was disliked by the crew, but since meeting Lilith, its life has become different, especially this time it really felt Its future will have endless possibilities.Thinking of this, Zhuan Zicao's tears welled up from his eyes, "Hanana"

Seeing that the shuttlecock was crying more and more fiercely, Lilith picked it up helplessly and touched the shuttlecock's forehead: "You are still crying after winning the game. You are so ugly."

Alija stepped forward, and Lilith stood up straight holding the shuttlecock in her arms.

Alija smiled slightly. After the game, Alija's impression of Lilith changed completely. She originally thought that Lilith was just an arrogant new trainer who wanted to have a relationship.But she found that she was wrong. The talent of the trainer named Lilith in front of her astonished her. Alija had been known as a genius grass-type trainer since she was a child, but Alija felt that she was nothing compared with the girl in front of her.

"Your performance in the last game really amazed me. Your understanding of grass Pokémon is as good as mine, and you successfully defeated my Stinky Flower with your grass Pokémon. I also want to thank you You allowed me to experience such a great battle. Our Rainbow Gym recognizes your strength." Although Alija is usually very polite, she rarely praises a person.And Alija's intuition told her that Lilith would definitely grow into a trainer who was no less than or even better than the champion in the future.

"No, no. I still have a lot to learn." Lilith felt a little embarrassed.

Alija waved and motioned to the people next to her to bring up the rainbow badge: "This is the rainbow badge that symbolizes the Rainbow Gym. I wish you smooth sailing in your future journey." Alija handed the rainbow badge to Lilith with her own hands. .

Lilith took over the colorful rainbow badge: "Thank you, Alijia Gym Leader." After experiencing this gym competition, Lilith became more mature.

"I just said, Lilith is a very good trainer, now you believe it." Sundae walked down from the audience.

Alija shrugged. Lilith's strength was understandable: "It's been a long time since a trainer has made me lose so miserably."

The Rainbow Gym is located in the city center and can be said to be one of the best gyms in the Kanto region. There are far more losers than trainers who come to challenge, and even those who succeed are narrowly defeated.Lilith's shuttlecock really made it difficult for Alicia to start.

How long ago was the last time she was completely defeated like this? In Alija's mind, a figure of a trainer from 3 years ago appeared on the face of that young man. There was a calmness that should not be possessed at his age on that young man's face. His battles layered him like clouds and flowing water. He was defeated at all levels, and what was most unforgettable for Erica was his pair of red pupils.

Alija looked at Lilith in front of her again and suddenly smiled.The trainer who defeated her in this way soon became the champion of the Kanto League. With his strength, even the Elf League had to give up three points.Now Alija is looking forward to Lilith's future.

"Now that the gym competition is over. Miss Classy, ​​is it time for our tea party?"

"I'm happy to accompany you." Sundae bowed and smiled.

"Fortunately, I recently had the honor to negotiate a business with a tea garden in Sinnoh. It is said that the tea leaves in this tea garden are all naturally cultivated by Sunflower Monster, and the tea brewed has an unusually mellow taste. I have some more New tea-making experience. Now is also the time when the back garden of our Rainbow Gym is the most beautiful. How about Lilith, would you like to have a cup of tea with us?"

"No, no, no." The tea party for high-status ladies like Alicia and Sundae was nothing more than business, political etiquette, and the like.Although Lilith, as Anna's daughter, will definitely inherit Anna's company in the future, Anna never asked Lilith to learn those women's etiquette, so the tea parties of celebrities have basically nothing to do with Lilith.If she insists on going, Lilith is really afraid that she will fall asleep during the process.

"What a pity." Alija still maintained a generous and decent smile. Alija was not surprised that Lilith refused, "We can have a good chat next time we have a chance."

"Yeah, okay." Lilith agreed.Lilith looked at the rainbow badge. The shape of the rainbow badge was a colorful flower, which fit the city very well.The sunlight came in and hit the purple petals. Lilith paused, and suddenly thought of the strange girl with purple hair and twin tails.

"That" Lilith hesitated to speak.The last gunfight in the square and the blood stains seen in the alley made it difficult for Lilith not to care about it. After that, Lilith was always thinking about the scene at that time. This kind of distraction also made Lilith say in the first half. One of the reasons why the gymnastics games are so emotional.

Alija seemed to see Lilith's hesitation: "Don't be too outspoken. If you have difficulties in Rainbow City, I will try my best to help."

Lilith relaxed a little after hearing this: "I actually want to ask someone."

Ailijia chuckled: "Rainbow City is so big, I can't remember all the people. But if you really want to investigate, I might be able to open a backdoor for you and show you the resident records of Rainbow City."

Alija's words like this mean that she still has a good impression of Lilith. Alija also believes that Sundae's friends are trustworthy people.

Lilith shook her head: "No, I wanted to ask if there is a child in Rainbow City who can cause a large-scale gunfight, or a wanted criminal. I was thinking that such a person might be relatively well-known, and maybe you would know about it."

Alija paused and frowned slightly on her always smiling face: "Why are you asking this?"

Lilith knew from the look on Alija's face that Alija must know something.So Lilith recounted what happened in the square yesterday.Of course, this omits the fact that he was "saved" by a girl and fell into the water.

After hearing this, Alicia nodded solemnly.Then he said half-jokingly: "Actually, it's nothing. This is probably just an exercise for filming a movie or something."

Lilith remained silent. She obviously didn't believe this reason.It was a real gun, and it even ruined my beloved T-shirt commemorating the 10th anniversary of the bear.If you say this is filming, even a fool will not believe it.If it must be said that it was accidentally damaged by a fake bullet, but Lilith's perception is stronger than that of ordinary people, and she knew that it was not a drill based on her perception.

Sundae was also thoughtful and silent. She also knew a little about the recent situation in Rainbow City. Part of the reason why she went to Rainbow City this time was that Alija hoped to use the power behind Sundae.

Seeing that Lilith didn't speak, Alicia sighed with a sad look on her face: "I knew you wouldn't believe it easily. In fact, the reason for filming the movie was just to deal with the people present. Since you are a friend of Miss Excellent, then There is no need for me to hide it from you."

Alija continued: "You have been in Rainbow City for two days. You should have heard that there is the largest casino in the Kanto region here."

"Are you talking about the one in the south?" Lilith pondered for a moment, recalling the casino she learned about from passers-by's conversations.Lilith vaguely seemed to hear terms like "purple-haired girl" and "gambling".

"Exactly. Rainbow City and Golden City are the two largest cities in Kanto. Almost every move in Rainbow City is controlled by the Kanto government. Rainbow Gym is the manager of Rainbow City and is also the government's spy."

Lilith suddenly realized that the so-called gymnasium was not only a place to test trainers.At the same time, they also have to manage some government affairs in the city where they are located, which is why a gym is so valued.

Alija continued: "Rainbow City is almost directly under the jurisdiction of Rainbow Gym, except for the casino in the south of the city."

"why"

Alija shook her head: "Although that casino is located in Rainbow City, it is an independent existence. In all likelihood, this shootout was also caused by that casino. Moreover, the casino behaves strangely and mysteriously, and I can't figure it out at all. Mind, and now this casino has become a symbol of Rainbow City. Many people come here because of its reputation, and it is even a major economic source of Rainbow City. That casino seems to have its own rules, and it can be considered that as long as you step into that casino In a casino, you can ignore the law as long as you abide by the rules there, such as prohibited buying and selling or even killing. I have written to the government many times to request jurisdiction, but those letters have just fallen into silence and never received a response."

“A casino can be so arrogant”

"I have been the leader of Rainbow Gym for three years. That casino seems to have been established in Rainbow City for a long time. It controls the financial resources of Rainbow City and there is nothing I can do about it. Moreover, the government has also tacitly approved the existence of the casino." said At this point, Alija seemed a little helpless.

"What does this have to do with the purple-haired girl I mentioned?" Lilith was a little confused.

"You know, that casino recently added a new game rule." Alija smiled.

Lilith shook her head.

"The casino has rules. If you win a certain amount of game coins, you can compete with the casino's gamblers. If the guest wins, he can get a reward of 20 times his bet. If he loses, he must return all the money he won in the casino. The reward also includes money equal to the value of the bet and a tube of the guest’s blood.”

"Why does the casino want the blood of the guests?" The first two are understandable. After all, the casino is an existence born for money.But the last request

"We are also investigating this. Originally we thought they wanted information about those powerful people. But it seems that they don't need to just send someone to draw blood. They usually ask their subordinates to do it."

"So, where's the purple-haired girl?"

Alija sighed: "The gamblers who participated in any game recently were crying out. The reason is because there is a new gambler in the casino. It is said that the winning rate of the new gambler is 100. As for her appearance, if"

Alija called someone to bring a photo and handed it to Lilith.

The person in the photo is wearing a mask, but she is very young and must be just a little girl. Under the mask, she is expressionless when facing the mountain of bets, just like a machine.The most eye-catching thing about the people in the photo is that the little girl has rare purple hair.
