Pokémon Showdown: Silver Peak

Nibi, the name of this city is as calm and deep as the color it represents - gray. Stone is the soul and pride of this city. Since ancient times, the stone mines here have been rich and diverse. Craftsmen have used excellent skills to carve pieces of art full of vitality, making Nibi City famous for its stones around the world. In this city full of historical heritage, every stone seems to carry a unique story.

Suddenly, a sound came from below, breaking the quiet conversation between Xiaozhi and Xiaoxia. They looked down at the same time and saw an old man wearing a trademark red hat and a beard sitting leisurely on the ground. Next to him is an unpretentious wooden shelf, on which is displayed a dazzling array of stones, each of which shines with a unique luster and seems to tell their respective origins and stories.

Xiaozhi looked at the uncle with great interest, then turned to ask Xiaoxia: "Xiaoxia, who is this person? Do you have any impression of him?" Although he felt a sense of familiarity with this uncle, after all, in During the carefree days when he was watching anime, he made many interesting comments about the character named Wu Neng. But at this moment, if I admit that I know Wu Neng, how can I explain how I came to know him from the small screen into the real world?

"I don't know him." Xiaoxia responded doubtfully, obviously she was not aware of the true identity of the uncle in front of her.

"I am Wu Neng," the red-hatted man introduced himself with a smile, "The place where you are sitting now is the product display area that I carefully selected." After hearing these words, Xiaozhi realized that he had no intention He broke into someone else's business premises and quickly stood up to apologize. However, despite saying sorry, the light in Xiaozhi's eyes shone with excitement and curiosity, without showing any apology at all. Instead, he looked more like a young man about to embark on a new adventure.

"Oh, it turns out that uncle, you are running this unique business - selling stones." Xiaozhi looked around at the dazzling array of stones on the stall with interest, thinking to himself. These stones are of various shapes and colors, as if each piece contains endless stories and secrets. Finally, among the many stones, his eyes were attracted by two particularly eye-catching stones. They shone like a sea of ​​stars, instantly lighting up Xiaozhi's eyes.

"That's right, kid, these stones you see are all precious stones that I collected from all over the world when I was young and went through a lot of hard work." Uncle Wu Neng straightened his back, and his pride was palpable. , his weather-beaten face shone with perseverance and warmth in the sunset, "Each piece of them carries a legendary experience and unique energy."

"Hey, young man, I see you have a strong figure and bright eyes. Oh, no, it's the kind of eyes that are full of curiosity about the unknown world and fearless for challenges. I can tell at a glance that you are destined to become a Pokémon master. The candidate." Uncle Wu Neng changed the topic, looked at Xiaozhi with a smile, and put forward his sales strategy with a hint of slyness, "How about it, are you interested in picking a few stones? Because we are destined to Yes, I can give you a 50% discount."

After hearing this, Xiaozhi smiled slightly, with a hint of cunning and determination in his eyes: "Uncle, your vision is indeed unique. In this case, I won't be polite. I really like these two stones, so please help me. Wrap it up.”

When Uncle Wu Neng heard this, he immediately responded enthusiastically: "Okay, young man, you really have a good sense. The original price of these two stones is 999 alliance coins. For ordinary people to buy them, I can give them a preferential price of 888 alliance coins at most." . But, since you are the first customer today, and I can see that you like them very much, I will make an exception and charge you 88 alliance coins. This price is absolutely worth it. You will definitely get it elsewhere. I can't find such an affordable price...

In fact, a storm of carnival has already set off in Xiaozhi's heart, like the ecstasy of lava before a volcano erupts. He knew in his heart that the two stones in his hands were anything but ordinary - one was the extremely precious evolution key stone, and the other was the rare fire-breathing dragon super evolution stone Y. The value contained in the combination of the two will probably add four zeros, or even more, to Wu Neng's exaggerated quotation. This priceless existence is enough to subvert anyone's imagination.

The light in Xiaozhi's eyes shone with anticipation and excitement, and he had already painted a picture in his mind: when the true value of these two super evolutionary stones is known to the world, when they lead the Pokémon world into a new era of super evolution. , Wu Neng's dumbfounded and disbelieving expression will undoubtedly become the most exciting scene in his memory.

"Xiao Zhi, don't be impulsive. Look at these two broken stones, they are actually asking for close to one hundred alliance coins. This is clearly a businessman trying to trick people." Xiaoxia held Xiao Zhi's arm tightly and urged to dissuade her. Her bright eyes were full of concern and worry for her friends.

However, Xiaozhi smiled slightly, as calmly and calmly as if he had everything under control. "Xiaoxia, don't worry, just think of it as a unique souvenir of our trip to Nibi City." His words revealed firmness and confidence, which were his yearning for unknown adventures and his certainty in his own judgment. .

When Xiaoxia heard this, she could only shrug helplessly and responded softly: "Okay, as long as you feel it's not a loss." There was a trace of love and tolerance on her face, because she knew that behind this choice was Xiaozhi’s passion and determination to pursue his dreams.

Let's go, let's go, Xiaozhi excitedly grabbed the arms of his friends and urged, his eyes full of anticipation and determination for the unknown challenge, "Come with me to the Pokémon Center to reply to our Pokémon. They were before We tried our best in the battle. Our time is tight, and we have to face the legendary Nibi Gym later!"

"It is said," Xiaozhi revealed the information mysteriously as he walked, "that the gym leader Xiaogang of Nibi Gym, although some people secretly say that he is the most useless gym leader in Kanto, in fact His life background is really touching. Did you know? He encountered major changes in his family when he was a child. His irresponsible father ran away from home without authorization when he was still very young to pursue his dream of traveling. , and his cruel mother even chose to remarry someone else, leaving young Xiaogang to shoulder the heavy responsibility of taking care of his eighteen brothers and sisters."

Hearing this, Xiaoxia's eyes couldn't help but gleam with sympathy and admiration, "Wow, Xiaogang is so pitiful. He was able to persevere in such a difficult environment and became a gym leader. , His tenacity and perseverance are truly amazing.”

However, Wu Neng, the kind-hearted and seemingly ordinary businessman who just now, suddenly became serious when he heard the topic about Xiaogang, and defended Xiaogang uncharacteristically: "You are not allowed to be like this. Speaking of Xiaogang, he not only has an extraordinary tenacity, but also shows great strength in Pokémon training. You have no idea how much effort he has put in behind the scenes."

Xiaozhi looked at Wu Neng's excited reaction, with a sly smile on his lips, and teased frivolously: "Oh, uncle, we are just talking about Xiaogang, why are you so excited? Do you have a special understanding of him? ?”

"Ah, you...I..." Wu Neng hesitated, revealing a trace of unspeakable hesitation and hesitation in his words. His eyes were wandering in the air, trying to avoid Xiaozhi's firm and challenging gaze. It was obvious that he was going through a struggle internally. He finally came to the conclusion with difficulty, "You will never be able to defeat Xiaogang anyway." This sentence came out of his mouth with a deep sense of helplessness and unwillingness.
