Pokémon: Why do you call me the sixth trainer?

After getting off the plane and walking through the long aviation corridor, Chen An arrived at the platform exit.

Put the Poke Ball with a transparent shell into the special recycling device. The next second, a red light appeared, and the tear-eyed lizard appeared on the ground.

"You must be holding it back." Chen An reached out and hugged him.

Since hatching, Chen Xi rarely returned to the Poké Ball except for the required examinations at school or the need to register in advance for battle classes. This time, he spent more than nine hours in the Poké Ball, which was really difficult for him.

"Tears (it's okay.)" Chen Xi took the initiative to climb onto Chen An's shoulder and looked around curiously.

When Chen An walked out of the platform, he saw Chen Xing wearing light green clothes.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

After a brief exchange of greetings, Chen Xing took Chen An to the reserved hotel, introducing this young city as he walked.

"Evergreen City was originally called Evergreen Village, so named because of its proximity to the Evergreen Forest."

"At first, because there were too many elves in the Evergreen Forest, the development here was relatively slow. But after the three kings came to clean up the surrounding areas decades ago, Evergreen Village developed rapidly with the rich resources of the Evergreen Forest behind it. "

"However, considering the special nature of the forest, subsequent urban development was built on the mountain side. The real forest area can only be reached through the Evergreen Tunnel. The place where the original village was is now converted into a living area for the patrol team."

"The Evergreen Forest is now considered a semi-developed virgin forest. Although you only need to submit an application to enter the outer edge of the forest, it is more troublesome to enter the middle or deep layers. You must be followed by at least five members of the patrol team. First, there are protection personnel It’s safe, and secondly, it prevents people who enter from destroying the forest environment or harming wild elves.”

"In recent years, due to the discovery of evolutionary stones, forest management has become more stringent, and many patrol teams have been established. The forest ranger team I am currently interning with is one of the branches."

"The place where Thousand Faces Evacuate was discovered this time is on the outside of the junction area between the outer and middle levels. In addition to the inspection team and patrol team, there are also some qualified students participating in the event."

"However, it is said that a total of three tear-eyed lizard trainers were arranged in the team, because scientists found that when inspecting the habitats of wild elves, bringing elves of the same race with them will have a better attitude towards the native elves, making it easier to carry out follow-up communication."

"Of course, the tear-eyed lizards and trainers who came here have been inspected in advance, and the team prepared special contact lenses and nose patches, otherwise the whole team would have to leave crying like an exile."

"Pfft," Chen An couldn't help laughing. "What are you going to do if there are tear-eyed lizards in the habitat?"

Except for social animals, non-social races such as tear-eyed lizards generally have only one or two final evolved forms in a group, with varying numbers of initial or evolved forms depending on the size.

【Science】

[Initial form: The stage when hatched from the egg is the initial form]

[Evolutionary form: The name of an elf that can evolve twice, what it looks like after the first evolution]

[Final form: The name of an elf that can evolve twice, what it looks like after the second evolution]

[The above is an example of an elf that can evolve twice. In fact, the name does not affect the reading experience]

But generally speaking, most of the animal elves in the wild are still in their juvenile form.

"Then let's cry together and connect with each other." Chen Xing couldn't help but laugh after thinking about that scene.

While talking, the two walked to a building.

"arrive."

In the spacious hall, there were people in twos and threes communicating. Chen Xing took Chen An to a window and handed each other their information cards.

"The Evergreen Forest Thousand Faces Refugee Group Inspection Plan, 207 Patrol Team Intern Chen Xing, and Tear-Eyed Lizard Trainer Chen An came to report."

"Registered, room is 707."

"Thank you." Taking the information card handed back by the staff, Chen Xing brought Chen An to the room.

The room was a very ordinary double room without too many decorations, which made Chen An feel like he had returned to his previous life.

"Xiao Lim and Chen Xi have no special requirements for the environment, and we are just joining the team to make up the numbers, so the rooms we were assigned are very simple." Chen Xing put Mibulim on the table, stretched out, and slowly Speak slowly.

"Huh?" Chen An tilted his head, "Aren't you going to hold it?"

"Oh, don't mention it," Chen Xing lay on the bed and rolled over again, "The patrol team requires members to maintain an image outside. In the first week I joined the team, the teacher took me out alone to cultivate a "steady" temperament."

"Pfft," Chen An couldn't help laughing, and hung up Chen Xing's uniform. "I thought you had changed so much after not seeing you for more than a year."

"Alas," Chen Xing sighed, and then sat up, "But Xiao Lim is living a good life here, so I feel that my efforts are worth it."

Looking at Chen Xi and Mibulim who had started playing with each other on the table at some point, the two couldn't help but smile.

"Is this hotel exclusively for the patrol team?"

"No, this is under the name of the Scientific Research Institute. However, researchers usually come here only one or two days before the event. They enter the forest when the event starts, so the people who usually live here are the entourage and escort members who come in advance."

"One on one?"

"Yeah. But this is just on the surface. In fact, there are more than just the accompanying members."

Seeing Chen Xing take the initiative to say more "unclear" things, Chen An raised his eyebrows.

Chen An boiled water and packed things while listening to Chen Xing's introduction.

"This is a hotel under the name of the institute, and the confidentiality level is very high. After all, the information that the researchers who stay here carry with them or the things they occasionally communicate with, as well as the researchers themselves, are very important, so the inside of the room can be said to be one of the safe areas. .”

"In fact, there are other reasons why I called you here this time besides inspecting the Thousand Faces Refugee Group who really need a tear-eyed lizard trainer."

Facing Chen An's curious gaze, Chen Xing smiled slightly and said, "It is said that there may be small space cracks appearing recently."

"Huh?" Chen An turned around and looked at Chen Xing.

"There are many scales of space cracks, but not all cracks will cause nearby elves to go crazy." Chen Xing said seriously.

"In fact, there are only a few cracks that can cause elves to go crazy. Most of the cracks just appear when the rich energy in the secret realm causes an energy storm, so they have a greater impact on the surrounding environment. For the elves, it is a relatively violent storm, but The human body is currently unable to withstand this kind of impact.”

"Currently, cracks are roughly divided into four categories: sudden type, stage type, stable type and special type. The Evergreen Forest is the fusion of the stable secret realm and the original forest. Theoretically, there will be no cracks inside again, so This place can develop so fast.”

"But on the other hand, the current technology's prediction of cracks is not stable. It can often only be discovered a few hours before it arrives. It is impossible to judge the type of crack in such a short time. Therefore, in order to avoid accidents, evacuating the crowd is also the lowest cost. There’s a way.”

"With the combination of the two factors, the space rift may not necessarily cause an elf riot. This matter was unanimously decided by the Elf Alliance and other countries after discussion, and it will be kept secret from trainers below the leader level."

"However, the appearance of the Thousand Faces Refuge this time is too special, so it is speculated that it comes from a never-discovered racial habitat or a micro-space rift. After all, their family's stealth ability can hide from ordinary scientific research detection equipment."

"By the way," Chen Xing took out a document from his space bracelet and handed it to Chen An, "This is a confidential document that must be distributed to all participants in the event. Here is some introduction to space rifts. Take a look first, I We need to report back to the patrol team and have dinner together then."

"it is good."

Saying goodbye to Chen Xing, Chen An looked at the documents in his hand.

"Instructions for participants of the Evergreen Forest Thousand Faces Refugee Group Survey Program"

Dozens of things to know can be summarized as the following points.

1. If the habitat cannot be found, this activity will end in 3 months. If the habitat of Thousand Faces Refuge can be successfully found, it will be extended depending on the situation.

2. Accompanying personnel (scientific researchers, Chen An, etc.) need to obey the patrol team's instructions and leave the team at their own risk.

3. Known resources discovered during the investigation need to be handed over to the patrol team for unified management. After the event, the discoverer can share the proceeds from the sale with the patrol team. Of course, the discoverer can also purchase them first at market price, and the funds serve as a "bonus" for the patrol team. , the purchasing order is discoverer>scientific research team>demander>follower.

4. Common resources and unknown resources can be handled by the discoverers themselves, or handed over to the scientific research team in exchange for bonuses.

5. In order to avoid accidents, the blank Poké Balls carried on this journey need to be registered in advance, and official patrol members must be present when capturing the Poké Balls.

6. Some other confidential materials.

"tears."

"Have you finished reading?" Following Chen Xi's call, a voice sounded in Chen An's ears.

"Yeah." Chen An responded habitually, then raised his head, "Xiao Lim? You didn't go with the stars?"

"Mibu." Mibulim tilted his head and looked at Chen An, as if he had just discovered Chen An's existence, but what Chen An felt was a different voice.

"No," Mibulim's voice continued to ring from Chen An's ears, "Xingxing asked me to tell you something. You need to pretend to sleep first. It's best to cover your face with a quilt."

Realizing that something was going on, Chen An acted as if he had just discovered that Mibulim was still in his room.

I called Chen Xing and was told by Chen Xing that Mibulim was not used to the serious atmosphere of the patrol point. He asked Chen An to take care of him for a while, then he took out the newly purchased magnetic clay from his luggage and let the two elves After playing together, they lay on the bed and pretended to be sleeping.

Lying on the bed, Chen An closed his eyes and listened quietly to the news delivered by Mibulim.

[Xingxing said that everything he said to you in the room was approved by the captain, and of course it must be kept confidential. 】

[Xingxing said that he should behave as usual after entering the forest. There are many monitoring equipment in the forest that he doesn't know about. 】

After conveying Chen Xing's words, Mibulim couldn't help but say a few more words.

[In fact, Lim also feels about this rift. The secret realm that came this time may be related to the fairy system, but Xingxing said not to tell anyone except you. 】

[Previously, Lim heard from the patrol team that there were several long-lived insect elves that had visited this forest. It was speculated that the forest had some mysterious energy. 】

[Okay, that’s all, go to sleep. 】

After saying that, Mibulim's voice disappeared.

In fact, even when she was talking, she acted like she was playing with clay along with the Tear-Eyed Lizard.

Stimulated by the news of mysterious energy, Chen An couldn't help but get a little excited. He realized that he had forgotten to control his expression, and then acted as if he had forgotten to take the communication card, and returned to bed with the communication card.

I clicked on a few messages according to my own habits before pretending to fall asleep.

This time, Chen An remembered to activate the [expression management] skill to make himself look like he was asleep.

The lifespan of insect elves in this world is obviously shorter than that of ordinary elves.

Elfs of the "Royal Three Family" such as the Tear-Eyed Lizard can evolve into the first-level state (Transforming Lizard) at level 16. They have to be in the first year of high school before they have the chance to evolve one after another. However, like the green caterpillar, it has been completed at level 12. After reaching the final form, he basically already had relatively complete combat effectiveness when he was a freshman in high school.

And this kind of "super-speed" growth naturally makes them age and die earlier. Compared with the lifespan of most elves, which is about 80 years, their lifespan is only about ten years, which seems extremely short.

(The above lifespan is only for plot needs, please do not substitute it into the Pokémon world.)

Currently, the most powerful and long-lived insect elves in the world are being watched all the time. Looking back on their experiences, it is obvious that their trainers have been "registered" in the Evergreen Forest in common.

However, being long-lived and powerful reminds Chen An of the special power of Sakaki, the boss of Team Rocket in the Pokémon world - the "Power of Tokiwa".

(For the sake of distinction, this article is called the Power of Evergreen)

The Power of Viridian is the evergreen forest next to Viridian City. Every ten years, a human will be selected and given the blessing of the forest. The longer the person with this blessing stays with his elf, the stronger the elf will be. There may even be some The ability to transcend race.

However, this process is very long, and it is too rare, so it was discovered very late, and such an ability has never been heard of in this world.

Although the world structure of the Elf World is very different from that of the Pokémon World, the power of waveguides and the like all exist and have been discovered.

Could the Evergreen Forest be the "Wiki Forest" of this world?

With curiosity and questions, Chen An actually fell asleep without realizing it.

......

Starting from the next day, Chen Xing, who needed to participate in patrol team training and daily tasks, could only bite a small handkerchief and watch with tears in his eyes as Chen An took Chen Xi through Changqing City like a tourist, checking in at various "attractions" together.

(Chen Xing sneezes while training at the training ground: Who said anything bad about me?)

In the past few days, the accompanying personnel of the inspection plan have gradually arrived.

Note: All participants will be informed by the accompanying patrol members (verbally + confidentiality contract), so although the entourage is gradually arriving, Chen An only received a personnel list and a special space ring.

The list of personnel is very simple. There are 36 people in total during the investigation. After arriving at the area where Thousand Faces Refuge appears, they are divided into three teams to explore in different directions. The composition of each team is:

One member of the patrol team at the leader level serves as the captain (the main elf is around level 1)

3 researchers (civilian staff, specially equipped with temporary elves)

5 professional-level ordinary patrol members (main elves level 35-50)

1 special personnel (tear-eyed lizard trainer, Chen An is among them)

2 accompanying persons (interns and other "pendants", such as Chen Xing)

Chen An and Chen Xing are both in the third team.

The space ring is made of special materials, has a special positioning chip, and is extremely difficult to destroy. There is about 1 cubic meter of space in the space, and it is uniformly equipped with special sleeping bags, portable component analyzers, compressed food and other survival devices that can be used in the event of being accidentally left alone.

"There are conditions for the use of the ring." Seeing Chen An looking at it curiously, Chen Xing took the initiative to introduce, "If there is a similar ring within 5 kilometers of you, its access function cannot be used, so I asked him to drop it. Single survival device.”

"And the ring needs to be returned after the inspection."

"So magical?" Chen An looked even more curious.

"After all, it is a non-civilian space equipment."

Chen An understood.

There is space technology in this world, but much of the research has not yet been made public.

For example, the elf ball is one of the most common "space devices" used by people. No matter how big the elf is, it can fit into a 2.5 cm diameter elf ball without resisting.

"By the way, let's go eat hot pot tonight. If we enter the forest tomorrow, we will have a tasteless life for three months." Chen Xing suggested.

"Okay."

.....

Before going to bed, Chen An tried to wake up the system in his brain as usual. Unfortunately, since the system said it was overloaded and needed to rest five days ago, it never appeared again.

"Is this system really reliable?"

Thinking about it, Chen An fell asleep unconsciously.
