Pokémon: The Journey of Ordinary People

After two days of sailing at sea, the Saint Annu arrived at the port of Light Red City and planned to stay for half a day to replenish supplies and inspect the ship.

The reason was that during driving, we hit a small reef. Fortunately, it was just a scratch and nothing serious happened.

Zhang Yu also took advantage of the stay to leave the cruise ship and relax for a while. He couldn't enjoy himself all the time. He had already obtained four badges, and he wanted to get eight badges as soon as possible before the next Quartz Conference.

Light Red City is not big, about the same size as Cerulean City, but it has a much larger flow of people than the latter.

Zhang Yu first came to the Pokémon Center, but there were two children arguing loudly at the door.

"Pidgeo, my favorite Pokémon!"

"I'll just use my wings to attack, and then use a flying return to knock your crossbat away!"

When Zhang Yu approached, he heard one of the little boys saying.

But the little girl on the other side was unconvinced and retorted loudly: "No way! Idiot Asuka! You can only attack recklessly! My dad said that in Pokémon battles, you must seize the opportunity to make a fatal blow!"

"Your father is wrong! My father is the master of Kikyo Gym! He taught me how to fight like this!"

Asu's voice also got louder.

"My dad is also a gym owner! Even more powerful than your dad!"

The little girl and the little boy began to argue about whose father was more powerful.

Zhang Yu found this scene quite interesting.

"My dad dares to eat shit! Would your dad dare to do that?"

The little girl used her ultimate move and looked at Asu with pride.

"Your father is here!" The little boy pointed behind the little girl and then quickly slipped away.

"Humph, you're such a coward. You can't win the argument but still want to lie to me! Lululu!"

"Axing——"

A man in his 30s was standing behind the little girl, A Xing, smiling (?)

"!!!"

"Wow!! Dad... why did you suddenly appear!!"

Ah Xing’s face turned pale instantly and she turned away trembling.

The man squatted down and said something to Ah Xing, and the child shook even more violently.

"I'm sorry, everyone. I didn't discipline my daughter well, and I made you all laugh." The man picked up Ah Xing and jumped away from the crowd.

"My god, how can a Pokémon jump several meters high?"

Zhang Yu watched the entire scene and was finally surprised by the man's physical skills.

"But, the owner? That's normal."

Just now, both Axing and Asu said that their fathers were gym leaders. He also checked and found that the Kikyo Gym was in the Chengdu area, so Axing’s father was probably the gym leader of the Crimson Gym.

Zhang Yu entered the Pokémon Center and checked all his Pokémon.

After there were no more problems, I followed the map and headed towards the Crimson Gym.

However, unlike many gyms he had seen, the Light Red Gym was more like a huge mansion, with many winding alleys in addition to houses.

"Boom boom boom——"

I knocked on the door for a while, but no one answered, not even a guide.

"Is anyone there? I'm here to challenge the trainer of the Crimson Gym!"

Zhang Yu shouted a few more times, but still no one responded.

"Is it in another room?" He clearly saw the man taking Ah Xing towards the gym.

Following the alley next to him, Zhang Yu bumped into a transparent wall with a thud.

"Ouch! It hurts! Why is there a wall?"

Covering his head and touching the air wall in front of him, Zhang Yu was a little confused.

“There are also… There are also…”

Holding on to the air wall and groping slowly, Zhang Yu suspected that this was a test before challenging the gym, just like he had to defeat three trainers before challenging Ma Zhishi.

Half an hour later, Zhang Yu had no idea where he was. The walls around him were the same, and he seemed to have forgotten the route he took to get in.

"Damn, I won't be trapped here..."

Zhang Yu wanted Porygon to fly into the air to see what was going on, but there was also a transparent wall above his head.

With no other options, he could only continue groping. It was still early, and he didn't believe that he would be trapped to death.

Finally, after more than ten minutes, Zhang Yu heard a familiar voice.

"A Xing! You did a great job. You actually told other kids that you dared to eat x! And you shouted so loudly!"

"I don't even have the face to open a gym now!"

"You must throw darts at me a thousand times today!"

The man's angry voice came, and Zhang Yu hurriedly called for help

"Eh? Didn't I ask you to put up a sign saying that the challenge is suspended today?"

Ah Ju looked at Ah Xing in confusion

"Um...well, I accidentally broke the sign when I was practicing darts..." Ah Xing answered timidly and stole a glance at her father's expression.

"You kid! You really piss me off..."

Aju was speechless. She was obviously a very well behaved child, so how come she had such a naughty daughter!

"Beep——" After pressing the remote control of the mobile phone, Ah Xing glared at her and told her to practice well, Ah Ju walked towards the source of the call for help.

"Huh? The wall disappeared?" Zhang Yu touched around him and found that the air wall was gone.

At the same time, the man he had just seen appeared in front of him.

"Um, I'm sorry, I'm Aju, the master of the Crimson Gym. What can I do for you?"

Aju and Axing were in the backyard, so they didn't know that Zhang Yu was the challenger.

"Hello, hello, my name is Yu, and I want to challenge the Crimson Gym."

"But when I found no one at the door, I wanted to come in to look for him, but I was trapped by the air wall."

Zhang Yu took out the badge box and explained why he was here.

"I see. What a coincidence. Sorry to have embarrassed you. I was planning to go to the hunting area with my child today, so I closed the gym."

The owner of the museum, Aju, suddenly thought of something.

"Oh, right! Yu, can you go to the hunting grounds with Xing instead of me? I'll pay for it, and you just need to take her to catch a Zubat."

"The child's mother is coming this afternoon, and I have to go pick her up, but I promised Ah Xing, so it's not very convenient..."

Aju seemed a little embarrassed, but he trusted Zhang Yu very much. After all, he was a trainer who had challenged four gyms, so he was reliable.

"? Hunting zone?" It was the first time Zhang Yu heard of it.

Ah Ju guessed that Zhang Yu was not a local, so he explained: "...In short, in addition to fighting, you can use the specified Poké Balls to capture Pokémon~"

"Sounds like fun..."

After Aju agreed to Zhang Yu's request to accept the challenge tomorrow, Zhang Yu took Axing and prepared to go to the hunting area.

Catching Pokémon with children shouldn't be a problem

The little girl didn't care who was leading her, as long as she stopped training in dart throwing. She followed Zhang Yu happily.

"Well, the hunting zone, we should go north..." Zhang Yu followed the map to find the destination, but he found it very quickly, there were no turns on the road.

Walking straight to the end, you will see a house and a wall that stretches as far as the eye can see.

I opened the door and walked in. An old man was dozing off.
