A person abandoned by the Pokémon world

Chapter 301 Harvest Celebration

“You’re not from Chengdu, so it’s normal that you don’t know.

In the past, Chengdu was a region that developed agriculture. Every household had a few acres of land, and their annual income depended entirely on these acres of land.

In this situation, eighty percent of people can only worry about food and clothing.

It is just that you will have no worries about food and clothing, but if a family member suddenly suffers from a serious illness, the savings of the previous few years will be wiped out at best, and in serious cases, both talents and talents will be lost, and it is possible that the family will have difficulties in the second half of their lives.

Under such circumstances, there are very few trainers among the civilian population, which results in a large lack of mid- and low-end forces in the alliance.

On the one hand, the people in the alliance and the aristocratic families do not want to allocate their resources to civilians, but on the other hand, they want trainers to emerge from among them to supplement the mid-level and especially low-level forces.

The alliance then changed its development path from agriculture to tourism as the main industry and commerce and handicrafts as the auxiliary industry.

That is the current model in the Chengdu area, and indeed more and more trainers are going out.

Today was originally a day of harvest, and people would hold a seven-day carnival, which later evolved into the so-called harvest celebration.

People put the year's harvest on the table and light a bonfire at night to thank the God of Harvest. At the same time, they hope that the God of Harvest will bless them and make the next year another year of harvest.

In recent years, since there are basically no people in every household who grow crops for a living, this harvest celebration has never been held on a large and unified scale.

Gradually, this day was almost forgotten in people's minds, but this year, for some reason, Songye, the gym leader of Yuanzhu City, proposed to hold a large-scale harvest celebration.

That is the current one, but the previous ones were all spontaneous actions of the people, but this time everyone from the alliance and the aristocratic families participated, which led to the scale you see.

The duration is seven days, and the daily expenditure is not that much if they are shared among them, but those petty guys are not happy about it, and they directly decide to abolish the existence of the harvest celebration. "

Xiao Mao curled his lips, obviously dissatisfied with those people from the aristocratic family. He was obviously a young master of an aristocratic family, but he saw the sufferings of the world and was even willing to temporarily give up his dreams for them.

Bai An smiled and said meaningfully: "Hey, Xiao Mao, do you know who owns the factory not far away?"

At present, Bai An and Xiao Mao are living in a residential house in a very marginal place in Yuanzhu City. There are factories on the edge of the city, especially on the edge of Chengdu, the third largest city in the city.

These factories produce things like Pokémon food and Poké Balls.

With current technology, they need workers to work on the assembly lines. Machines have not yet completely replaced human labor, so they build factories near large towns so that it is easier to recruit people.

“It looks like the Alliance’s Poké Ball manufacturing factory, shouldn’t you know more about this than me?

Aren’t the Poké Balls sold in your store imported from factories with this logo? "

Xiao Mao narrowed his eyes and looked carefully at the opening of the logo above the factory.

“Of course I know it, this factory is owned by the Alliance.

It's dusk now, so maybe they should turn on the lights?

But now it’s all dark, what does this mean?”

"It means they are not at work, why else?"

Xiao Mao suddenly realized something as he spoke: "I understand. The Chengdu Alliance suffered a huge loss."

Bai An nodded. The factory needed manpower, and this celebration would require a large amount of manpower. A seven-day celebration meant that the factory would have to shut down for seven days.

Bai An had no idea how much he had lost in these seven days, but it was definitely not a small amount.

"Just wait and see. Not only the harvest festival, but any large-scale and long-lasting festivals will be banned in the future. Do you believe it?"

Bai An spoke with interest.

"Of course I believe it. You are the young master of a large supermarket. I can't compare to your business acumen."

"I didn't expect that."

Bai An looked at Xiao Mao in surprise.

"What did you not expect?"

Bai An raised the corner of his mouth: "I didn't expect that our Master Xiao Mao is also a flatterer."

Xiao Mao rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, you can sleep outside today. Sorry I can't see you off."

"No, I was just kidding. Look, it's almost time now. Why don't we go to Yuan Zhu Dance Hall and try our luck?"

"Go ahead, there are so many..."

"What are you talking about? Let's go!"

Bai An picked up Xiao Mao and was about to run.

"Alas, alas~

Change shoes!

shoe!"

------

As the saying goes, it is better to arrive in time than to arrive early. When Bai An and the others arrived at the Yuanzhu dance floor, the rules had just been announced.

The five dancers first selected their opponents and fought hard, and Matsuba, the trainer of the Enju Dojo, was the last to appear on stage.

The first dancer to appear was named Mei. She appeared with her Flareon and chose a child, who seemed to be a rookie trainer.

In the first match, Blue Crocodile fought against Flame Ibrahimovic. The two rookies were equally matched, and the attribute advantage was reflected at this moment.

The new trainer gave an excited command: "Blue Crocodile, use the last water gun!"

It can be seen that the new trainer really likes this kind of occasion where he is the center of attention.

Cheers came from all around the stage, and it was obvious that the audience's emotions were also driven by the Pokémon battle.

Bai An felt a little regretful, and he hoped in his heart that the other party would not choose him.

Obviously, the Quartz Conference was more lively than it was now, but Bai An was convinced that he would feel socially dead if he showed up here.

Because when dancers fight, they not only dance, but also use adjectives like elegant and beautiful.

The key point is that the dancer does not refer to Pokémon.

"Or, let's go. I don't think they will choose us."

Bai An suggested quietly.

"Why, I think we'll definitely be chosen."

Xiao Mao had a confident smile on his face. When Xiao Mei chose a holder of the Three Great Families, he glanced at the crowd around him.

Xiao Mao already has an idea of who will be able to go on stage to fight tonight.

Under the guise of everyone being able to participate, in reality the candidates have already been determined.

“Yes, after all, it is related to the Phantom Badge.

However, in order to avoid giving people a reason to talk, a civilian trainer should be selected.

And this civilian trainer was either someone they had observed in advance or someone they had prepared in advance."

As Xiao Mao was thinking this, the second dancer appeared on the stage. Her name was May, and her partner was Jolteon.

At this time, Xiao Mao saw that the position of May's finger was right next to him.

Xiao Mao thought that the direction he was pointing at was Bai An, so he turned around and compared it, and found that the direction May was pointing at was not Bai An, and the target was an uncle.

Xiao Mao was stunned.

"Am I wrong in my guess? Shouldn't the chosen ones be the young generation of the aristocratic families or the three great families?

What's wrong with this uncle? "

As Xiao Mao was thinking this, he saw Bai An walking towards the stage with heavy steps.

Xiao Mao grabbed Bai An and said, "What are you doing? I'm not calling you."

"It's me, look~"

Bai An looked somewhat helpless.

Xiao Mao looked in the direction Bai An pointed, and saw Zoroark smile evilly, and then turned into Bai An's appearance.

Of course this is what Xiao Mao saw, but in the eyes of others, Zoroark just transformed into Bai An.

"Okay, you cheated!"

Xiao Mao understood instantly.

"What's the harm? Don't you know my situation?"

Bai An rolled his eyes and took Soraya straight to the stage.

Fortunately, this dancer, May, was not like the previous Xiaomei. She should be a reserved girl. She just bowed and asked "Bai An" to release the Pokémon.

Soraya was about to go on stage with a grin, but was pulled down by Bai An: "Sorry, sorry, you have to stand here and act as me, maybe next time~"

"Woo~"

"I'm sorry, I spoke too quickly and forgot about it. Next time, I will definitely do it next time."

Bai An said as he threw out Snorlax's Poké Ball, not giving Zoroark any chance to refuse.

"Little Snorlax, this battle is up to you.

Be careful to be gentle and fight him a few more times."

Bai An said the latter sentence in a very low voice. After all, he had to save some face for Jolteon. The trainer couldn't see him, but Jolteon could definitely see him.

"Jollibee, use electric shock!"

Since it wasn't a gym match, May directly spoke and gave orders.

"avoid……

Forget it, just watch it~"

Bai An looked at the instruction to avoid the "electric shock" which was almost a performance and stopped abruptly.

“This is probably the easiest badge to get.

It's a pity that Soraya really can't leave, otherwise it would be really nice to let him go up and practice."

Bai An's mind was full of thoughts, and the "electric shock" on the field hit Snorlax's belly.

"Gambi~"

What it means is that it hurts, but is it possible?

Snorlax is a guy who doesn't mean what he says. What he says and what he means are the opposite of what he means.

Snorlax was also afraid of hurting Jolteon, so he charged directly at him, using his simplest skill, “Collision”.

"Joltz, let's use ramming too!"

Bai An really thinks it's an eyesore. A bunch of Pokémon battle novices, why don't they just practice dancing?

He gave the order to charge without even noticing the difference in strength.

Bai An wondered if this Jolteon would cry after being hit.

However, the beast did not cry. Instead, Snorlax was hurt. Jolteon used the thorns on its body to collide with Snorlax.

Jolteon, the Thunder Pokémon, has a yellow body with white and yellow spikes all over its neck and body.

Because of the pain from the prick, Snorlax lost his strength and Jolteon flew backwards at least five meters.

May fell to the ground unconscious, she was stunned, her cherry lips open blankly.

"Um, the badge..."

"Oh!"

Being so big as Bai An, May reacted and handed the badge on her sleeve to "Bai An".

She still hasn't come to her senses.

"Tsk, you really don't know how to be gentle with women. Look how scared you made me. I haven't recovered yet."

Back at the bottom of the stands, Xiao Mao came over.

"It's because her Jolteon has thorns all over his body, which hurt Snorlax."

Bai An squatted down and touched the place where Snorlax was stabbed by Jolteon just now: "Does it still hurt?"

"Gambi~"

Little Snorlax shook his head and said, "It hurts so much."

"You really don't understand romance."

Xiao Mao clicked his tongue twice and stared at the stands. If nothing unexpected happened, he would also be selected to play.

Xiao Mao was right, but he didn't expect that he was chosen by Songye, the master of Yuanzhu Dojo.

Bai An now looked towards the stands with interest.

Xiao Mao vs. Songye

This is much more interesting than the previous fight between rookies.

Songye obviously knew the morals of the previous few games, but he said it very tactfully: "The previous few games were not very exciting, let's end today's activities at Yuanzhu Dance Hall with an exciting game, okay?

Oki Shigeru!"

“Well, this guy was originally my secret weapon to challenge you.

But since you are facing a 1vs1 here, judging from the attributes, you are going to suffer a great loss!

Go, my sweet Alakazam! "

Xiao Mao has Casey, but he has no plans to train her. After all, Casey needs to sleep 16 hours a day, so it is difficult to train her.

But Xiao Mao was stimulated by Bai An's ability to teleport at any time, so he brought Casey with him when he traveled to Chengdu this time.

The evolution was completed not long ago.

Hearing the prefix of Alakazam, Bai An's mouth twitched and he thought that Xiao Mao was still the same, always acting like a sweetheart.

"Alakazam, it looks like this is going to be an exciting battle."

After Songye finished speaking, a Gengar appeared out of thin air.

“Today I’m not the gym leader, and you’re not the challenger, so let me try to attack first!

Gengar, use Shadow Ball!"

The moment the "Shadow Ball" escaped from Alakazam's hand, Xiao Mao spoke: "Teleport!"

Alakazam exerted force with his thumb, and the spoon in his hand bent for a moment. When the "Shadow Ball" was about to hit Alakazam, Alakazam appeared behind Gengar.

"Phantom light!"

Almost instantly, a pink light wave with a dreamy color hit Gengar's back.

"Gengar~"

The extremely effective Psychic-type move caused Gengar to stumble forward and scream.

"Right behind us, there's a strange light!"

Gengar's blood-red eyes lit up, and he emitted energy beams from the air, which converged into a beam of light at about the position of his nose and hit Alakazam directly.

Alakazam, the Psychic Pokémon, has a yellow body, a long beard, long and pointed ears, a broad and shiny forehead, and the older Alakazam is, the bigger his head will be.

Just from its appearance, you can tell that Alakazam is a very calm Pokémon.

But after the "strange light" hit him, Alakazam's eyes became visibly blurred.

This is in chaos.

“Seize the opportunity to win!

Shadow Ball! "

"Teleport, avoid!"

At this time, Xiao Mao no longer cared about the timing of releasing the Shadow Ball. He and Songye gave the orders almost at the same time.

Xiaomao's successful prediction allowed Alakazam to use "Teleport" to avoid Gengar's Shadow Ball.

If he was just one step late, Alakazam would be hit by the Shadow Ball.

"Cheer up, Hu Di, and use your spirit to strengthen your mind!"

"Night Demon!"

I don't know why both of them chose their Pokémon's best moves at the same time.
