Pokémon: The Journey of Ordinary People

By the time Zhang Yu and his team landed on Markote Island, it was already evening.

"Ayu, we're here. If you keep following this road, you will see the Pokémon Center." Uncle Bant said, pointing ahead.

"We still have to store the fruits, so we won't send you there."

Zhang Yu jumped off the boat and said, "It's okay, it's okay, thank you so much, go ahead and do your work, I can do it myself."

"By the way, Uncle Bant, do you know Ah Zheng?"

"Jung? I haven't heard of it. Maybe you can go to the Pokémon Center and ask Miss Joy."

Uncle Bant thought for a moment and replied.

"Okay, okay, thank you again for your help!"

After waving goodbye to Uncle Bant, Zhang Yu set foot on the land of the human world for the first time.

At this time, the people in the town were still awake, and there were many people and Pokémon coming and going on the streets.

"It's very similar to Earth, except for these magical elves. The other building types are similar to where I live." Zhang Yu thought as he looked.

It took about 10 minutes to walk along the main road.

Zhang Yu saw a Pokéball-style building in front of him, and thought that must be the Pokémon Center.

--Ding Dong

When you step into the door of the Pokémon Center, you will see many trainers inside.

There was a pink-haired woman wearing a nurse's hat working at the reception desk in front.

"This should be Miss Joy."

"Hi, how may I help you?"

A familiar opening line.

"Ah, hello, my name is Ayu, I am a villager from a remote island, and this is my friend Zou Zoucao. We encountered a thunderstorm when we went out to sea, but fortunately we met a kind person who helped us to come to this island.

We have no place to stay for the time being. Can we stay here for one night? "

Zhang Yu asked somewhat embarrassedly.

"Of course. Please show me your Pokémon encyclopedia." Joey was not surprised. There are many islands in the Orange Islands, and people from small islands often appear.

"Ah? I don't have a Pokémon encyclopedia yet... In fact, I just started my journey not long ago..." Zhang Yu was a little confused.

"I see... Let me take a look."

"Hey, it just so happens that Dr. Uchiki on Daigan Island has some quotas for illustrated books. Let me help you apply for them."

"Really? Thank you so much, Miss Joy!" Zhang Yu couldn't help but feel relieved. The people in the Pokémon world are really nice.

"Don't be too happy too soon. To obtain the Pokémon Encyclopedia, your application qualifications need to be verified. So please go to the next room with Chansey to take a test." Miss Joy pressed the button next to the computer.

The door behind it opened, and a pink egg-shaped Pokémon walked out and waved at Zhang Yu.

"Then, Jigglypuff, I'll leave it to you."

"lucky~"

Entering the room, there was a researcher wearing an assistant uniform.

"You're applying for a Pokémon encyclopedia appraisal, right? First, please place your Pokémon on this instrument." The assistant said to Zhang Yu

"The first test is whether your Pokémon has been abused and has a close relationship with you."

Jigglypuff placed his hand on the head of the walking grass and felt it, and his body glowed faintly.

Walking Grass was a little confused, but when Jigglypuff put his hand on it, it felt a gentle force wrapping around it.

"This is Chansey using healing waves to feel the heart of the walking grass."

"lucky!"

Two minutes later, Jigglypuff said that Walking Grass was very healthy.

The researcher recorded the results in his notebook.

"Next is the intimacy test"

"Please let the walking grass put the leaves on its head in your hands."

The two of them did it naturally after hearing it.

The researcher wrote in his notes: Excellent intimacy

(Unless the walking grass has a good relationship with the trainer, it will more or less resist having its leaves touched) (A little setting added by the author?(?)?)

"The following is the last item, the battle test"

"Please have Walking Grass use its skills to attack the target that appears and knock it down."

Zhang Yu was a little nervous. He didn't know anything about Pokémon battles, and his mind was frantically recalling scenes from the cartoons he had watched before.

The researcher pressed the switch in his hand, and four targets suddenly emerged from the ground.

"Walking grass, use collision to knock down the target on the opposite side." Zhang Yu didn't care. He decided to give it a try. He remembered that the protagonist in the cartoons often let the elves use the collision skill.

A white light appeared on the walking grass' body, and it rushed forward with all its might, knocking down the target easily.

Researcher notes: Good.

"Congratulations, Mr. Ayu, you have successfully passed the qualification assessment. Please wait a moment while I upload your information to the alliance's database. Once you pass, you will be issued a Pokémon Encyclopedia."

"Huh!" Zhang Yu breathed a sigh of relief, luckily everything was fine.

"Great! Is this the first step to being recognized by the world?"

After coming out of the room, he walked to the reception desk and told Miss Joy that he had passed the review.

"Okay, then please pay the appraisal fee. 3000 Poké Coins."

"Ah?! Do I have to pay more?" Zhang Yu was stunned.

Joey wondered, "Isn't this common knowledge?"

"Haha, well, I came from a small mountain village on an island. I wasn't very clear about this situation before. Hahaha..." Zhang Yu was a little embarrassed.

“I can work here!”

"Hmm... Villagers? I understand. The Pokémon Center doesn't need help right now, but I can recommend you to go to the Pokémon Breeding House in the east of town. They're hiring helpers recently."

"As for the illustrated guide, we'll give it to you again once you've paid the full fee. Is that ok?"

Joey provided a way to work. Said to Zhang Yu.

"Okay! I'll go! But I haven't had a good night's sleep for several days. Miss Joy, can I stay here for one night..."

"Of course you can. You have passed the review. Logically, you can be considered an official trainer."

"Trainers have the opportunity to stay at the Pokémon Center for free twice a week. Simple meals are provided."

"If you are a new trainer, you will be given two Poké Balls. These are yours, please keep them."

Joey introduced the trainer benefits to Zhang Yu and took out two Poké Balls and handed them to Zhang Yu.

"Wow, the welfare in the Pokémon world is so good!" Zhang Yu sighed in his heart and thanked Joey.

"One more thing. Once you become a trainer, you must not do anything that would harm your Pokémon. Otherwise, if you are found out, you will be immediately dismissed as a trainer and thrown into jail."

"There are also some common sense and rules for trainers in this trainer's manual. You can take it back and have a look."

Joey gave a brief introduction.

"Okay! Thank you Miss Joy, I will never break the law!"

As a young man of the new century, Zhang Yu never ran red lights when he was on Earth, and sometimes helped old ladies cross the road several times.

Most college students who have just entered society are relatively honest.

"I have one more thing to ask you. Do you know Ah Zheng?"

After getting a negative answer, Zhang Yu felt a little regretful, but he could take his time and ask questions while working.

...

Entering his own trainer room, it was a bit shabby, with only a bathroom and a bed.

However, Zhang Yu finally felt the long-lost sense of security.

Walking Grass has been looking around curiously, and seems very excited.

"Walking Grass, do you want to enter the Poké Ball? Although we are already partners, it will be more convenient for me to travel with you after entering the Poké Ball."

"Duo!"

The Walking Grass responded positively, and took the initiative to touch the switch of the Poké Ball with the leaves on its head, turning into a ball of red light and entering it.

After successfully capturing Pokémon, Zhang Yu released Pokémon Grass again, and the two went out to have a hearty meal in the Pokémon cafeteria.

After eating and drinking, I returned to my residence, washed up thoroughly, and washed away all my fatigue.

Fell into a comfortable dream.

There is not much information about the Orange Islands available on the Internet, so I added some imagination.
