A person abandoned by the Pokémon world

Tokiwa City, Bai An came here to participate in the Quartz Conference.

Because he got the news from Professor Oak that the qualification badge examination was about to be held here.

(ps: The qualification badge is derived from the setting of the first generation anime. This badge has the effect of replacing eight gym badges.)

Bai An wants to take part, even though he knows that some of the test questions are very strange, like giving you the shadow of a ball and asking you what Pokémon you are.

A normal person’s first reaction would be Naughty or Thunderball, but the correct answer is Jigglypuff looking down from above.

Even so, Bai An still wants to participate. People should always have the courage to try. Even if he fails, he can still challenge the Tokiwa Gym.

Bai An had a good idea, but he forgot that not everyone could see him.

He was stuck at the registration stage for the qualification badge exam.

I went to the Tokiwa Gym, but the door was closed. There was a piece of white paper on it saying that the previous gym leader was missing and the acting gym leader would not arrive until the end of this year's Quartz Conference.

Bai An is numb.

"Bai An, about 200 meters behind you, someone is conducting an unfair transaction. Go and listen."

The nostalgic cloud in the sky said this.

Bai An turned around and saw two people, one simple and the other showy.

They sneak around in broad daylight, hunch over and whisper to each other, trying to be as conspicuous as possible.

They still feel they are hidden.

“Are you sure it will work?”

“Of course it can be used!

I've worked in this area for so many years, I can tell the truth from the false at a glance.

I only collect good stuff!"

"Okay then, lead the way!"

"okay!

Come with me, little brother~"

“It feels like some shady deal is going to take place.”

Bai An stroked his chin in thought.

"And that showy guy always feels familiar. Is he a minor character in the plot?"

"They were just talking about badges and stuff, so I called you, but it seems you're late. But I think you might get something unexpected if you follow them."

Juanlianyun suggested.

“Badge, deal.

not--

Scalper, huh? "

Bai An thought of a possibility.

There are nearly 50 gyms in the Kanto region now, and they themselves don’t even know how many badges they give out every year, let alone who specifically gets the badge.

"Hello, Huang Scalper!" Bai An smiled and hurriedly followed.

Following them, Bai An saw a familiar dog hole.

"No way……"

The smile on Bai An's face froze.

Bai An went in, and the stalls he saw made him say "as expected", and then he complained: "I don't think every black market has a dog hole!"

"Is the reason why the kings don't eliminate the black market because they want to get out of trouble?"

After taking two steps, Bai An suddenly had this thought in his mind, and then the idea of ​​crossing the dog hole involuntarily emerged in his mind...

"I must be overthinking it."

Bai An shook his head and dismissed the idea.

Unlike the black market in the Unova region, the black market in the Kanto region has hawking sounds and stall owners are eager to attract customers.

"Take a look, take a look, fresh Abe monster skin..."

"Eevee, rare Pokémon Eevee, anyone want one?"

"A map that contains the treasures of ancient emperors!"

"Magikarp, the Magikarp that lays golden eggs!"

……

As if something strange had sneaked in, Bai An's eyes met with Magikarp's.

Uncle Carp King smiled awkwardly, rolled up his stall and ran away.

"Uncle Magikarp is really everywhere."

Bai An sighed, took two quick steps, and followed the two men closely.

Bai An followed them and came to a stall.

There were piles and piles of badges on it, eight in a pile.

He also saw a few familiar ones, such as the blue badge of the Cerulean Gym and the gray badge of the Nibi Gym...

Five of the eight gyms in Kanto can be found, but the badges of Tokiwa Gym, Crimson Gym, and Guren Gym are not found.

After all, the gym trainers of these three gyms are all tough guys, one is the big boss of Team Rocket, and the last one once participated in the manufacturing experiment of Mewtwo.

The stall owner was leaning on a wind speed dog, which surprised Bai An.

Pokémon like Arcanine are monopolized by the nomadic family and the Ginseng clan in the wild wilderness area, and are almost never seen in the wild.

People with Wind Speed ​​Dog will not set up stalls in the black market.

"Brother Mi, let me introduce you to a guest."

The man's shouting made the man leaning on the wind speed dog open his eyes.

There was an undisguised exhaustion in his tone: "1 each, 6 for eight."

“So many of these can’t be fake, right?”

The showy man felt that so many badges were a little unreliable.

"To be honest, I fought against all of this in every gym I went to!

If you don’t believe me, you can go and ask. There are 53 gyms in the Kanto region, and there is not a single one that doesn’t know my name, Mibo.

Especially the Hualan Gym, I have been there many times!"

Mibu's words made the showy man believe it a little: "Why do you need to get so many badges? You can participate in the Quartz Conference with only eight badges."

Mibu has no concept that customers are God: "Are you stupid? I sold this, why do you say that?"

"The Quartz Conference, sounds nice, but it's just a place for the children of the noble families to gild themselves. If you have the time to participate in that, it's better to fight in a few more gyms and sell them for money."

Mi Bu muttered these words quietly, and the show-off man did not hear them.

The show-off man wanted to ask a few more questions, but was interrupted by a woman in kimono.

"Mibu, get me a set of badges!"

"Isn't this Miss Xunzi? She's participating in the Quartz Conference again this year. She's sure to win the championship this time!"

Mi Bu changed his lazy attitude, picked up eight badges and handed them to Xunzi, looking extremely flattering.

"Of course, this year I spent all the time I spent collecting badges on training Pokémon!

I must be the champion this year!"

Xunzi left a check for 10 yuan and left.

“That’s really cool, I like people like this.

Her name is Xunzi, she comes from a branch of a family in Girls Town, and she is good at breeding insect and grass types. She bought her competition badge from me last year. "

As soon as Xunzi left, Mibu changed his flattering look and fell on the wind speed dog, casually explaining to the hesitant and showy man.

“I’ll buy two!”

The show-off man reluctantly took out 2 yuan from several pockets and took away two badges.

At this time, Bai An remembered that this person seemed to be a magician, a player in the first game of Xiaozhi Quartz Conference. His most famous achievement was that he was killed three times in a row by a giant crab. Bai An forgot his name.

"Another thousand!" The man who brought the show-off guy shouted, and left in high spirits, apparently to solicit customers.

“Does the customer want to buy a badge?

I'm sorry I can't help you with other matters."

Mibu dug his ear with his little finger and spoke lazily.

Bai An didn't realize that he was talking to himself until the Wind Speed ​​Dog stared at him without blinking.
