Pokémon guide and development

Flower petals spread out from the sky, and tropical drums and music floated.

In the Alola region, the last island tour of the year is about to begin.

Compared to the T3 tournaments held four times a year, the island tours held three times a year attract more attention in the Alola region.

It’s not simply because there are fewer games and they are rarer.

It will be fun to watch the T3 event and see which new trainers will emerge this year.

The island tour is different, as it determines the captain's replacement for each island.

Only by passing all the island battle assessments, and then passing the random assessments of the Island King and Island Queen, and obtaining the island tour certificate, can you be qualified to serve as captain.

Unlike the honor and wealth of professional trainers, participating in the island tour and participating with the intention of becoming captains shows that these young girls have a sense of responsibility and responsibility, and want to contribute to the peace of the Alola region and the Pokémon ecology.

There is no age limit for registration for the Island Tour, but the captain can only be a boy or girl under the age of 20, so 10% of the participants are between 20 and [-] years old.

"There won't really be a 10-year-old kid coming, right?"

In the trialist preparation room, Shen Qi looked around.

The protagonists in anime and games who fight all the way to the league championship are only 10 or a little over 10 years old.There are very few such geniuses in reality.

Shen Qi looked around and estimated that the minimum age should be around fourteen or fifteen years old.

Since the registration location was in Hauale City, Shen Qi’s starting point for the island tour was Melemele Island, a lush cave.

The number of trialists starting from Melemele Island is 139, which is quite a number among the four islands.

Poni Island has a small population, no megacities, and the number of trialists has not exceeded a hundred.

After all, this is an event with the goal of being a captain, and it is linked to the Alola region. The registration fee is much more expensive than challenging the island owner to get a badge, so only young girls with faith will participate.

"come on."

"Baby, you're the best!"

Encouraged by their parents, the children held two rock dogs and smiled happily in the direction of their family, allowing their family to take photos of the happy moment.

She is truly worthy of being a kid in the Pokémon world, Shen Qi sighed.

Each rock dog weighs 20 pounds, and two of them can run quite happily.

This child can't stay!

Entering the lush cave area, the captain and deputy captain here remind all trial participants to pay attention to safety.

"Everyone, please follow the corresponding route to find the Overlord Pokémon."

The 139 trialists set off in 10 batches and soon disappeared into the huge lush cave area.

The name of the terrain sounds like it's just a cave. In fact, the mountains and intertwined tunnels cover a large area, which can be compared with the area of ​​Melemele Garden and Poni Trail.

More than a hundred boys and girls separated and soon disappeared from sight.

From the entrance of the lush cave to the first destination is already a small challenge.

In the fourth batch, Shen Qi set off and took Route 06.

The small map in hand will mark the route drawn by the trialist. As long as the travel is correct, you can see the small flag No. 1 every 06 kilometer or so. Swipe the trialist card at the sensor pile at the flag to check in. Pass through and go to where the next flag is.

If you haven't seen the small flag for a long time, or if you see a small flag with other numbers, it means you are on the wrong path, and you must correct it quickly to avoid missing the limited time.

The so-called 1 kilometer requires drilling holes occasionally in the ups and downs of the mountain. The sense of distance is not accurate, the mobile phone signal is intermittent, and there are even errors in positioning.

The initial action trial tests the participants' sense of direction in outdoor operations.

The purpose of the island tour is to select the captain and the backup for the island king/island queen. These positions are responsible for the management and maintenance of the island. The work has some overlap with the Pokémon ranger, and the ability to move in the wild is a basic skill.

Ga!

The big-billed gull returned and confirmed that the route Shen Qi was walking was okay, and there was flag No. 06 in front of him.

"For trainers who have the ability to fly, it's actually quite simple."

When he continued to move forward and reached the third 06 flag, Shen Qi's mind changed.

The lush caves are high in the mountains and densely forested. It is impossible to see the ground conditions through the canopy branches and leaves from the air, making it easier to miss the flag.

The same goes for rangers. Many areas require physical walking to find poachers or other unusual signs.

Even though flying around in the sky is no different from going for a drive in the wild, you won't be able to observe the details in the forest.

In this way, Shen Qi had to ask Miss Quer to cooperate.

Miss Skirt can sense special things among the blades of grass, and is more likely to find something amiss.

In addition, the induction pile provides special taste and energy fluctuations, so Pokémon with psychic, ghost, or other sensitive senses of smell and perception can find their way in their own way.

Oh...babble——

A donkey's bray breaks the harmonious natural sound.

Miss Quer reminded that there are ground energy fluctuations over there.

Shen Qi walked over and saw a donkey with bangs and bangs braying.

Mud Donkey

A ground-type Pokémon, it is very strong and can pull things many times heavier than itself. As for hobbies... it likes to play with mud. If you don't spend enough time playing with mud every day, you will feel a lot of pressure in life and become disobedient. .

The clay donkey in front of me had a donkey-skin-like cloth taped to his hind legs, and bright red wounds were painted with paint.

The meaning is obvious. Trialists will find injured Pokémon during the journey and need to be dealt with.

If you want to avoid it unnoticed, a trained clay donkey boy will remember the points deduction items of this trialist.

"This level is designed... just like a ranger."

Think about Xiao Ming, as a regular Pokémon hunter, he really has a unique advantage in participating in the island tour.

Bandaging the Mud Donkey's wound was really just a simulation of bandaging, and then he couldn't wait to play with the mud.

"As expected of a ground-type Pokémon, its fur is so clean after playing in the mud."

Further down, Shen Qi met a group of little Yorkies who suddenly rushed out of the woods. They acted as Pokémon that were suddenly frightened in the wild and launched an attack.

It was just the first stage of the trial. There were no real ferocious testers in Little York. Shen Qi's feeling of coaxing them was similar to that of raising baby Pokémon.

In fact, this is often the case in wild operations. Wild Pokémon riot not because of bad behavior, but because they are frightened or the place where humans happen to invade is their habitat, or there are cubs there.

In this situation, if you want to become a qualified captain, vice-captain, or island owner, you must not beat wild Pokémon violently, but must deal with them flexibly.

"It's not easy."

In the game, there are so many bells and whistles on the island tour.

Go up and catch the Overlord Pokémon and beat it up. Melemele Island is either Overlord Mongoose Inspector or Overlord Alolalada.

After defeating the overlord Pokémon, defeat the captain, and after defeating the captain, defeat the island owner, and then get the island tour certificate.

When it comes to actual participation, the island tour assesses not just the trainer's combat prowess, but at least half of the content tests whether the trainee is suitable for managing and guarding the island.
