Pokémon: Why do you call me the sixth trainer?

Due to his incomplete memory and the fact that a young boy didn’t have much, Chen An finally applied for a basic personal information card from the research institute, a set of textbooks for primary school and junior high school students, and an additional one thousand yuan. To purchase basic personal necessities.

The amount was not large, so the institute approved it quickly and even gave him some additional "extracurricular tutorials" related to elf knowledge.

As for the information card, although it is called a card, it is actually a multi-functional device that integrates mobile phones, computers, and personal information. It is troublesome to reissue it, and it took two days.

When he got it, Chen An found that the information card looked like an ultra-thin version of the Carlos illustrated book. It could be big or small, which was very convenient.

The time came two days later.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp." The clear and melodious chirping of birds came from the window. A ray of breeze passed through the half-open window, leaving a gap in the gray curtains, and a ray of golden sunshine fell in the house, letting the dim The room looks a bit more lively.

A small bird squeezed into the room through the crack of the window. In the golden sunshine, you can see that this little bird has an orange-red head, and the V-shaped pattern on the long black tail is covered with the torso. The sun dyed it a light golden color.

The little bird jumped on the window edge for a while, then spread its wings and flew into the house. Looking at the figure curled up on the bed in the corner, he lifted up half of the quilt with ease. The little bird chirped and jumped up and down on the boy.

The young man on the bed moved his fingers slightly, and the little bird flew to the bed. The young man rubbed his eyes and looked at the little bird beside the bed, "Good morning, little bird."

The little bird known as the little arrow sparrow shook its tail, revealing two protruding feathers at the connection between the tail and the body. At a quick glance, it did look like traditional arrow feathers.

"Chirp, chirp", the little arrow sparrow stretched out its small gray wings, and the white feathers at the tips of the wings were like a child's cute little hands, pointing to the table on the other side.

The young man reached out and touched the little arrow sparrow, "I know, I'll get up right away."

As the boy opened the curtains, the scenery inside the house was unobstructed.

The boy was obviously in a single room. On the left side of the window was a bookcase with some scattered books.

The transparent glass door of the bookcase is blocked by a light-colored curtain, so the contents inside cannot be seen clearly. There are several books spread out on the desk next to it, and "Basic Knowledge of Pokémon" and "Must-read for New Pokémon Trainers" can be vaguely seen. etc. On the left side of the desk is an ordinary computer. Next to the computer screen is a blurry group photo. In front of the group photo is a red and white ball the size of a table tennis ball, half red and half white, with a round shape in the middle. button.

The boy walked to the desk, and the morning sunlight just fell on the photo. The photo showed a gentle middle-aged couple and a boy who looked to be one or two years old.

The boy in the middle of the photo is holding a cat-shaped doll with a gray main body and pink eyes and purple eyes. On the left of the boy is a cat-shaped doll that is mainly indigo with some white blue eyes and green pupils. On the right It is a cat-shaped doll that is mainly white and partly blue, with yellow eyes and red pupils. The three dolls are smiling towards the camera, and the picture is warm and beautiful.

"Good morning." The boy, who looked somewhat similar to the boy in the photo, straightened the photo frame. "The opening ceremony of the middle school will be held today. I hope I can choose a suitable elf."

He took out a cylindrical biscuit from the red and white ball and handed it to the little arrow sparrow. Watching the little arrow sparrow fly away with the cookie, the young man started to wash up, then took the communication card, put on the school uniform issued in advance, and went to the school alone. Walk to school.

The young man, Chen An, was walking on the way to school and looking at the streets in the morning light, he felt as if he had returned to his previous life.

这个世界的学校跟前世差不多，大致按年龄分为幼儿园（3-6岁）、小学（6-11岁）、初中/中学（12-15岁）、高中（16-18岁）、大学（18-22岁）以及后续深造几个阶段。

(The protagonist is currently 12 years old)

Kindergarten is basically a nursery school, which mainly provides enlightenment for children. The pace of elementary school is relatively tight. Only in junior high school can you start to have your own initial elves. After junior high school, you have to seriously consider what you should choose based on your actual situation.

The "growth direction" of this world is actually decided in junior high school, and is basically finalized in high school.

Whether to focus on living a normal life or focusing on cultivating elves as trainers or breeders is a decision that children must make when they graduate from junior high school. After all, the cultivation of elves is a huge expense. It’s very stressful for families in general.

Due to the protection of children and the characteristics of elves, most countries, including the Dragon Kingdom, currently do not allow new trainers to subdue the first or second elves whose main attributes are evil, poison or ghost. .

The three attributes of dragon, superpower, and fairy are too rare and difficult to cultivate. Although there is no explicit prohibition, in fact, unless there is a special opportunity, newcomers will basically not encounter them.

Therefore, the more popular ones are the "Royal Three Families" that have been announced since the 100th year of the Elf Era.

As for the so-called "Royal Three Family", in the previous Pokémon series, players (new trainers in the anime) got the first Pokémon when they were guided by novices (on their journey). Since each version is the main Pokémon, Choose one of the three elements of fire, grass, and water, so they are called the "Royal Three".

But in the modern world, people take into account many factors such as elf adaptability, growth stability, racial character, training difficulty, etc., and select suitable new trainers who have relatively stable performance from entry to burial (crossed out) to the later stage. Fighting spirit.

There were indeed only three at the beginning, but as people's understanding of the elves continued to deepen, many elves were added to the "Best Partner for Newcomers" according to the cultivation situation.

However, since the main attributes are still water, fire, and grass, these elves are highly adaptable, have certain combat effectiveness at each stage of growth, have personalities that can be adapted to new trainers at each stage, and have better overall racial performance. We, the people who are still living today are called "Yu Sanjia".

Currently, the three Five Dynasties Royal Family recognized by most countries in the world, according to the time of publication, are in order:

The first generation of Elf Year 100: Charmander, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur

The second generation of the Elf Year 127: Fire Chicken, Water Jumping Fish, and Wood Guard Palace

The third generation of Elf Year 136: Little Flame Monkey, Bogaman, and Knocking Monkey

The fourth generation in the 150th year of the Elf Annals: Yan Rabbit, Guaqua Bubble Frog, and Grass Miao Turtle

The fifth generation of the Elf Year 160: Fire Spot Cat, Ball Sea Lion, and Chrysanthemum Grass Leaf

Except for the first generation of the three royal families, which are the same as those in the game, the other three royal families are very different from the game in terms of generations and combination order.

However, it is not difficult to understand. After all, the game is updated from generation to generation, but the order in which they appear in the real world is messed up. In addition, the fastest time to cultivate a generation of elves is three to five years, and the slowest time is seven or eight years. Therefore, from one elf to the nomination, From selection to actual confirmation, the actual process will basically take thirty to forty years or even longer.

As for the sixth-generation Yusanjia, it is said that racial stability testing is currently underway.

There are even rumors that the plan is to compress the range to less than five in the 165th year of the Elf Era, and then randomly select new trainers of different levels from around the world to observe the growth and plasticity of the elves to determine the final list.

Besides the Yu San Family, the second echelon of popular new trainers are elves with equally outstanding strengths and weaknesses.

For example, Mushroom, Lulili, Qingmianniao, etc. These elves are not very powerful in their infancy, but their own characteristics are obvious, and the difficulty of training is not very high. In addition, after evolution, they can become the main force of the team before the mid-term. Popular with kids who want to fight.

The third echelon is the steel type and insect type, which can be said to represent two extreme elves.

In the former, the only thing freshmen currently have access to is iron dumbbells.

Before the Iron Dumbbell evolves, it can be said that it is like a mascot. It also needs to eat a lot of precious metals. Even the Iron Dumbbell with insufficient qualifications cannot evolve. However, the final form of "Metrogross" is one of the few powerful elves (due to There are too few successful cases of evolution, so Iron Dumbbell is currently not listed as a "quasi-god" and can only appear among the elves that new students have the opportunity to obtain). It is the choice of many children from better families who yearn for strong combat power;

The following Bobo, Bug, etc. represent the choices of most ordinary families. These elves are relatively common, which also means that they have a relatively low demand for rare resources. In addition, they have better personalities, outstanding specialties, and grow quickly. , can quickly become the "main force" for children to conquer wild cubs, and is a rational choice for most children from ordinary families.

As for "quasi-gods" like Dragon and Bankilas, only top universities have a chance to provide them to the most promising freshmen. As for the level of the middle school affiliated to Yunxiang Research Institute, it is impossible to exist.

Fortunately, junior high school is still a compulsory education in Dragon Kingdom, and initial elves are also distributed free of charge.

As long as they don't choose some "quasi-god" elves that grow slowly but have considerable strength in the later stage, making ordinary families miserable and happy, most families can still afford to raise an ordinary elf. Even if the elf is some special ones, If you have an elf, you can even bring a little "extra money" to your family.

However, Yunxiang Town is just a relatively remote town. Although the junior high school is affiliated with the research institute, less than one-fifth of the elves selected for freshmen every year come from the research institute. Most of the others come from various breeding houses and "Sponsorship" from Elf Center.

But it also depends on the research institute. Every year, there will be at least one elf egg called "Yu Sanjia" among the initial elves, and if you are lucky, there may even be two or three.

After all, if you receive the initial elf in the academy but do not graduate, you will have to pay the elf collection fee at 200% of the market price according to the qualifications of the elf hatched, and the market price of an ordinary "Yu Sanjia" is 50 At the beginning, unless it is really rare and highly qualified, buying it at 200% price is really a loss.

Of course, if you get it, you will make a lot of money without transferring to another school. This is one of the reasons why even if the number of elf eggs provided by the institute is very small, there is still no need to worry about students.

There is no "God's perspective" in the study of Pokémon in this world, so many of the public details are slightly different from what I remember, but overall, the racial characteristics and other characteristics are still in line with the official introduction of the previous life.

While thinking, he had arrived at the entrance of the junior high school affiliated to Yunxiang Research Institute. According to the handbook given when registering, Chen An found the school's auditorium.

The auditorium is large, but very spacious inside. At least those who are already seated do not have to stand up to make room for others to walk. At a glance, many students were already sitting in their seats, looking at the light screens on their seats with excitement or distress.

Sitting in his seat, Chen An started to check this year's "initial elf" eggs according to the desktop prompts.

The one that has attracted the most attention this year is undoubtedly the "Yu Sanjia".

According to public information, the "Yu Sanjia" provided by the institute this year is a Charmander and a Croaking Frog, both of which combine appearance, strength and popularity.

Needless to say, Charmander, one of the original three members of the Royal Family who has been active from the first generation of anime to the latest generation of anime, has the Gigantamax Z move, even Ash's two strongest opponents, Ai Lan and Dan. Emperor's ace partners are both fire-breathing dragons;

The Koga Ninja Frog, the final form of the croaking frog, also combines handsomeness and strength. Especially the special form of Koga Ninja Frog by Ash Ketchum in the anime. Its popularity is even more popular than that of the Gosanjia in the same period or even multiple issues.

It's a pity that he was killed by the plot in the end, which made countless viewers scold him. In Chen'an's previous life, he was also one of the people who was so killed by the plot that he never watched the finals again.

Later, more than 90 second-tier elf eggs were also provided, but more of them were eggs from more common elf eggs such as green caterpillars, spiny tail worms, and Ladas.

This year, Yunxiang Research Institute Affiliated Middle School has a total enrollment of 550 students, divided into 10 classes, but the elf eggs provided seem to be only more than . Does that mean there will be more than a hundred elf cubs?

There are currently two concepts of elf cubs, one is elves born less than three months old, and the other is elves who have not yet mastered the first skill. There are supporters of both views.

But in the final analysis, they are elves who are just born and have not yet released their skills, and this restriction is also to ensure that the cubs of new trainers are as fair as possible.

The light screen in front of him suddenly went out and turned into a light spot like a firefly, flying forward. Even though he knew that this was a holographic effect to remind the new leaders that they were about to take office, Chen An was still very surprised.

"Students, welcome to the junior high school of Yunxiang Research Institute Affiliated Middle School. I am your principal, Principal Zhang Xiaozhang."

A man who looked to be in his thirties appeared on the front podium at some unknown time. The peculiar name caused a murmur, but it did not affect Principal Zhang's speech.

"This year, we have a total of 550 freshmen. The college has prepared 300 known elf eggs, 300 elf cubs, and 100 unknown elf eggs for you. You must have known about the previous elf eggs and cubs. Now I will focus on Let me introduce these unknown elf eggs.”

As the principal finished speaking, four rows of display stands similar to the museum exhibition halls in previous lives appeared in front of the podium, with an elf egg placed on each display stand.

"These elf eggs all have no information labels. Even I don't know the specific types. I can only tell you that there is one elf egg that has been classified as "Yu Sanjia", and there are several more in the research stage. The candidate elf of the sixth generation "Yu Sanjia", but."

Looking at the excited applications from the freshmen, the principal continued,

"However, quite a few of the elves here have insurmountable congenital defects, which are very difficult to cultivate, and some are unknown elf eggs from the wild. Therefore, there are three conditions for receiving these elves.

The first is a promise that no matter what elf you receive, you must take good care of it. If the elf dies unexpectedly, you need to pay a training fee five times the market price of the elf.

Second, the school will not provide any help in training. Even if it is a candidate for the Royal Sanjia, its growth resources must be provided by the trainers themselves.

Third, students are not allowed to change schools before graduating from high school except under special circumstances;

Students who think they can achieve the above three points can now submit applications through the optical computer on your desktop, with a limit of one hundred. "

"Of course, if you don't consider these unknown elf eggs, you can also choose to select known elf eggs and cubs normally." The screen behind the principal changed to a countdown.

"Due to the special nature of this batch of elf eggs, these messages were not entered into the new student guidance equipment before. Now the venue has blocked external signals. Now, you have five minutes to make your own choice." After the words fell, The countdown behind the principal started counting instantly.

On one side is the initial elf that the family had already studied before entering school.

On one side were candidates from the Yusan Family who were promising to give it a try, but there was a higher probability of being elves who could be pointed out as having "congenital defects." The huge difference made the children present look left and right. More than four minutes had passed, but there was only Twenty-six children submitted applications.

Chen An thought, if it can be provided to newcomers as initial elves, and can be "classmates" with the candidates from the Yusan family, they must have similar or even identical attributes.

However, among the known elves, there are not many elves that can be called "congenital defects" or very difficult to cultivate. At most, they have poor combat ability in the initial stage, or the evolution conditions are relatively harsh.

For example, you need to learn specific skills or specific props to evolve. This is not difficult for you who have memories of past lives. Moreover, which time traveler does not have a hidden luck buff? Take a gamble!

Determined, Chen An clicked on the application keyboard. However, when the countdown came to the last second, the 100 places that had not been moved for a long time were filled up instantly. Many children even said "Ah ah ah, I am slow. Why is everyone here?" Screaming like “stuck at the last second”.

Chen An was stunned for a moment, then chuckled. It seemed that he was not the only one who figured this out. Most of the children could think of it and were even willing to take a gamble.

"Okay, the quota is now full. Students who have submitted applications, please go to the first row to find the teacher in the first row to sign the relevant adoption agreement and receive a special registration card according to the order of submission.

Then you can go to the display area to select the Elf Egg you want to receive, and just scan it with the registration card.

Once selected, no changes are allowed. Next, students who have submitted applications are asked to come to the stage in turn. "

Chen'an's number was 31, which was quite high. Amid the envious eyes of many people, he walked to the first row, lined up to sign, received the registration card, and then arrived at the display area.

At this time, only five of the thirty people in front have selected the elf eggs, and the others are still checking different elf egg information.

Different from the elf eggs in anime that are full of elf elements, the elf eggs in the real world are almost the same size, and the patterns are completely random, like the protective color given to the elf by the creator.

Although there was no light in the incubator due to the layer of glass, Chen An could still feel that there seemed to be a faint stream of light on the elf egg, flowing as if it had vitality, mysterious and beautiful.

Since the elf eggs in this world are shrouded in mysterious power, the current detection equipment is not only unable to penetrate the mysterious power outside the eggshell to confirm the type of elf inside the eggshell, but even the electronic equipment will be affected when photographing the elf eggs, resulting in the elf eggs being photographed. It's very different from what you can see with the naked eye.

In addition, previous research has found that even if two elves of the same type are raised alone in the same environment, the patterns of eggs are very different. This has made it difficult to advance research on the type of elves that the elf eggs belong to.

Until now, except for the specific types of elves cultivated separately in breeding houses, which can provide relatively accurate species information (half of the parents are from each race), the general attributes of the elf eggs found in the wild can basically only be confirmed by experienced professionals. The accuracy rate can only reach about 60%, which has led to a relatively niche profession - Elf Egg Appraiser.

Ahem, thinking too far, Chen An gathered his thoughts and prepared to carefully select his initial elf.

Chen An raised his head and glanced around. One hundred one-meter-high display stands were divided into four rows. Each shelf was about half a meter wide. Like the exhibition shelves in the museum in his previous life, it carried exquisite works of art - elves. Egg.

The wheels under the Elf Egg display stand that has been selected by others will automatically unlock, allowing students to push the display stand to the edge, while other shelves will slowly and automatically adjust their layout to ensure that the overall distribution is relatively even. , to facilitate students’ observation.

Since they are special elf eggs, there are no information labels underneath these elf eggs, so it can be said that the elf you choose depends entirely on luck.

In just such a short time, four or five students had already passed by Chen An. Everyone looked at each elf egg curiously and expectantly.

Chen An shook his head, no longer distracted, and began to appreciate the patterns of the elf eggs with the mentality of appreciating art.

There is not much difference in the size of these elf eggs. The patterns on the eggs have their own characteristics. Some are like a patchwork of irregular patterns, some are like freehand paintings, some are brightly colored, and some are dull and dull.

Finally, Chen An's footsteps stopped in front of an egg with ink lines.

This elf egg is a relatively common milky white overall. The patterns on the eggshell are light blue and ink. Only one side has a relatively symmetrical and slightly darker ink blue stripe, like a naughty person whose hands are unsteady. The child drew two tear marks on the eggshell with a pencil. Compared with the eggs nearby, this egg looks very simple, and even the streamer representing vitality is very shallow.

Place the registration card in the groove of the display cabinet. The color of the display cabinet changes from black to silver, which means that the egg has been selected.

Immediately, there was a crisp "click" under the display table, which meant that the pulley was unlocked, and also reminded him to quickly take the display table to the side to register and give up the space to the students who came after him.

After the registration is completed, the seniors will take the elf eggs out of the display stand and put them into a general-purpose incubator that is temporarily loaned to new trainers. The collection process is basically over.

It only took less than half an hour to create one hundred "blind box" eggs. On the contrary, the subsequent selection of cubs and known elf eggs was delayed more, and some minor conflicts even broke out.

Unfortunately, Chen An was receiving simple training on incubation knowledge at that time and did not have the energy to understand it.

"Okay, students!" Principal Zhang's voice sounded again, indicating that all freshmen of this class have completed receiving the initial elves.

"Today's selection is just the beginning. In the next week, the new students who have selected cubs should pack their belongings tomorrow morning and gather in the square on the west side of the school;

Students who have chosen the Elf Egg should go to the teaching building on the north side to start class on time tomorrow morning. Other arrangements will be sent to your personal information card later. Now, everyone can leave in an orderly manner. "

As a group of excited or excited students walked out of the auditorium, Chen An's mind was still numb until he returned home.

Looking at the elf eggs that occasionally flashed with black light in his arms, Chen An still couldn't believe that he had his first Pokémon.

"Hehe." He couldn't help but lie on the bed with the incubator in his arms. Chen An smiled like a maniac, "This is my first Pokémon. I will ask for your guidance in the future."

Chen An, who fell asleep at some point, missed the first shaking of the elf egg in the incubator.

----

Here are some additional elf world settings in this article:

1. The pattern of the egg is purely random, and the type of elf inside the egg has a half probability of father and mother;

2. The elf in the egg has a probability of inheriting any skill mastered by its parents and is not subject to genetic restrictions, but whether it can learn (use it) is unknown;

3. The elf in the egg may inherit the unique characteristics of its parents, but the exclusive characteristics of the parent cannot be passed on to the next generation (for example, a hunting swallowtail butterfly inherits the unique ice scale powder characteristics of its mother's snowmelt moth family, but this characteristic cannot pass through Hunting swallowtail butterflies are passed on to his offspring)

4. The initial size settings of the elf eggs are all about the same size, but the larger elf will grow faster after hatching.
