The Elf Guide is in my heart

Pokémon Center, Smoking Room, Area 61, Kanto Development Zone. .biquge

Old Dirk took a puff of dry cigarette and blew out a long blue-gray tail. In the empty smoking room, he looked lonely and a little depressed.

The hand holding the pipe would always tremble slightly inadvertently.

His stooped body, old face, and gray hair showed that he was very old, and his physical condition was deteriorating.

But even though he smoked and vomited one after another, the depression and irritability in Old Dirk's heart did not get any better, and showed no signs of easing.

It is said that wine and cigarettes are used to relieve sorrow. In the past, Old Dirk thought so too, but the enjoyment side was bigger.

More than ten years ago, my late boss and good friend had advised me that smoking and drinking were just pitiful actions of a weak person escaping from reality and could not solve any problems at all.

In the past, Old Dirk sneered at this secretly.

He is not a weakling. On the contrary, Old Dirk thinks that he is doing quite well and quite well in his field.

Who is this old man who is sitting in the Pokémon Center and is still opening up the leveling area?

Old Dirk, this old man has his own elf, which is a fighting elf.

But he is not a trainer.

Of course, in the elf area, any ordinary person who can reach the middle class level can basically have a fighting elf.

After all, this is the world of elves, and society’s benchmark for measuring a person’s achievements is not whether you own a house, a car, or how much savings you have.

It depends on whether you have a powerful elf. That is the embodiment of your social status and social value!

To explain who this old man is, we must first popularize a profession that is quite common in the elven world.

This profession is called "Elf Detective".

Of course, the word "elf detective" does not mean a detective with an elf, or a police worker.

The full name of "Elf Detective" is "Elf Battle Club Trainer Agent".

Yes, they are elf agents.

Although they are not police detectives, the nature and work content of the two are surprisingly consistent, especially the requirements for employees in all aspects are exactly the same.

Both require agents to have objective judgments about things, language psychology, behavioral psychology, accurate eyesight in identifying people, etc.

Interestingly, although elf agents and police detectives are completely separate fields, many interesting phenomena often occur.

For example, if a police detective is married, has a home, a wife and children, he doesn't want to do the dangerous job of a police officer, which requires him to put his head on his waist.

How to do?

Change jobs! How else can it be!

It can be said that it is easy. When you are over thirty, you have a family and a career, how can you change your job easily? Moreover, you are a police officer, a career with generous benefits!

(sOnly the elite among the police can serve as detectives)

There is only one way!

Just switch from a police detective to an elf agent. The essence of the work is the same, it's all about looking at people.

Of course, there are also many elf agents who have been retrained in college and joined the police force. There are also many such people.

But having said all that, what exactly does this "Elf Detective" do?

If you know the scouting work of a football club, it is not difficult to understand the content and essence of the work of the "Elf Scout".

And both are essentially the same.

The job of football club scouts is to find and sign young, energetic, talented and potential players, that is, to find those "monsters" or those future "superstars".

The same goes for "Elf Detectives". They appear in the Elf University, park battle fields, low-level wild arenas, etc., anywhere where young trainers can be seen.

Sign those talented trainers and future "superstars" who have not yet been discovered, or who have great potential but have their pearls dusted due to various external reasons, to their clubs.

The club will provide a large amount of assistance and investment in the early stage of the trainer's development to help him grow in all aspects.

When these contracted trainers truly grow up, they will be able to bring honor to the club!

If you are still a high school student, it doesn't matter. Any regular elf club has a youth training camp waiting for you to join.

You are already a college student, that’s even better!

Sign a contract directly, compete in the league, and challenge the career limit of a trainer, today!

Of course, this is a high-risk investment project. All clubs are the same. Their success rate is not high. After all, there is still very little real gold buried deep in the sand.

But "Elf Detective" has their own model. Casting a wide net and expanding their contacts are the core of their work.

Especially places like the Elf Development Zone, which are what the "elf detectives" value most and are an important source of intelligence for them.

This is also one of the reasons why the old man, Old Dirk, is here, he is an "Elf Detective".

But the old but exquisitely crafted suit showed that Old Dirk was far from an ordinary "elf detective".

Yes, in the past, during the most glorious period of his life, he was the head of the youth training camp and technical consultant of a club in the Fengyuan area, and he was a veritable top management.

And that club was once a wealthy club competing in the Hoenn Class A Elf League. It was once the most powerful club, well-known in the Elf region, and even won the "Elf Champions Cup"!

Hoenn region?

That's right, this is an "elf detective" from the Fengyuan region. The old man's name is Old Dirk, which does not sound like a name from the Kanto region.

It's not that far away, because Fengyuan and Kanto are neighbors. If you take the "vacuum maglev train" with a speed of over 1,000 kilometers per hour, the closest city between the two regions will be less than two hours' drive away.

But why is Old Dirk sitting here alone and depressed?

Why is the executive of a wealthy club in such a state of decline?

Only young "elf detectives" can do fieldwork?

Because what the old man now belongs to, the former Overlord of Fengyuan, has been completely finished.

Just like the old man and the exquisite suit he is wearing, he has a glorious past, but no hope or future at all.

There are generally two types of elf battle competitions, both of which are officially certified by the World Elf Association.

The first type is a competition between one trainer and one unit, which is called the "League Competition".

For example, the much-anticipated and highest-level "World Pokémon League Competition" is a personal competition.

There is the "League Champions Invitational Tournament" that is exclusively attended by regional league champions, and there are also some special competitions, such as the "King Challenge", "King Invitational Tournament", "League Hall of Fame Competition", etc. These are all individual competitions.

Whenever there is the word "alliance", it is all "individual competition".

In each region, the highest level is the regional league competition. Taking Kanto as an example, it is the "Kanto League Competition".

This competition will be held regardless of the population of the region, and of course its gold content will naturally be different.

The other is a competition between clubs, called a "league".

In all the elf regions, except for the Alola region, which has no elf league due to its sparse population, Kanto (Kanto), Chengdu, Hoenn (Fangyuan), Sinnoh, Unova, and Kalos, these six Elf areas with large populations all have "elf leagues".

The six regions have the same specifications, and the league levels are from the highest to the lowest, which are divided into four levels: "A, B, C and D".

At each level, there are eighteen clubs competing in the "Elf League".

Every year, there will be a season, divided into home and away games, with 38 rounds of elf battles.

The Elf Battle Club where Old Dirk belonged once won the "Elf Champions Cup". What kind of achievement is this?

Only the top teams from the six major regions and the highest level leagues are eligible to participate in the competition.

Only by winning all the clubs can you get the "Elf Champions Cup", which is considered to be at the top of the entire Elf region!

But such a powerful club has completely declined!

Old Dirk lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

He analyzed the main reasons for the club's decline, and there were two.

First, it is because of the discovery of the Stone of Evolution and the Key of Evolution in the Kalos region over the past few decades.

This resulted in a huge gap in the strength of the elves in the Hoenn region.

First of all, it must be pointed out that regardless of Hoenn and Kanto, the Yusanjia is one of the few areas that can evolve e.

However, the Hoenn trainers are extremely powerful and cannot be compared to the low-ranking trainers in the Kanto region.

After a large number of A-stones became popular, the talk of "Hoenen Three Gods" began to become popular at some point in Hoenn.

The so-called "Three Gods of Hoenn" refer to "Metrogross", "Flying Dragon" and "Bakiras".

Because of the extremely high growth potential of these three Pokémon, they are sought after by countless trainers.

Especially after A evolved, it made countless trainers go crazy!

From that time until now, most clubs have begun to sign contracts with trainers who own such elves.

As a result, the entire "League" match was like a plague. All the elves with evolved A began to gradually disappear on the duel field, seemingly forgotten by the trainers.

Therefore, chasing the evolved elves has become a trend of the times and an inevitable trend, because after evolution, the strength of the elves has indeed skyrocketed.

But this is inconsistent with the philosophy of Old Dirk's club.

"Victory with everything" is his club's fighting philosophy.

It is intended to convey a concept to all Club Elf fans.

That is, "even ordinary things will bloom with their own brilliance."

When it comes to the battle between elves, it becomes "even ordinary elves can fight with their own style, even if they lose, they will still be proud."

Therefore, the players of this club have a simple and real style. They fight with the most common elves and win, which can often give great encouragement to people who are frustrated at work and life.

How could such an ordinary elf not be inspiring and inspirational to be able to defeat such a powerful elf?

This is people's underlying psychology. When they see the weak versus the strong confronting each other, they will want to see the weak defeat the strong.

People tend to compare themselves to the weak and bring themselves to the weak. After all, in society, the strong are the minority.

Because of this concept, Old Dirk's club has captured a large number of die-hard Elf fans. No matter what crisis the club is in, they will never leave.

Therefore, Old Dirk's club still maintains its original philosophy.

It was not until the second reason, the commercialization of the club, that the club experienced a real crisis.

Due to the advent of the "Life Drainer", the "Great Elf Era" has completely arrived!

But as the number of trainers increases, the Elf Club becomes more and more impersonal.

Players and elves have become commodities, sold here and there.

What the club dedicates is not to compete, but to make "money"!

This is so sad~!

Two choices, two revolutions, Old Dirk's clubs both chose to maintain tradition.

The result?

This year's season didn't even start, and the original Fengyuan League A-League hegemon fell down to D-League! ! !

The wealthy family has completely declined, and there is no possibility of recovery. Everything in the past will become people's eternal memories and disappear with time.

The old man, the former club owner and old Dirk's best friend, was exhausted when the A-evolution stone began to flood, and indirectly died of "death from overwork."

At that time, the club had fallen out of the Hoenn Second Division, but there were still a large number of die-hard Elf fans, and the attendance and surrounding areas were still very popular!

But the next manager, the son of the original boss, is a thoroughly ignorant rich second generation.

Not to mention being addicted to drinking and gambling, at the time when he should have gone all out, he used the wrong business philosophy and wasted the best opportunity for revival.

At that time, the club still had many fans in the Fengyuan Third Division.

It is only today that the situation has improved when the granddaughter of the previous boss and the daughter of the previous boss took office.

But last season, the club's performance was last in the C-League, so it was relegated to the D-League.

Old Dirk put the still smoking dry pipe aside and covered his face in pain.

A wealthy club with tens of billions of assets, there used to be thousands of "elves" and technical staff under Old Dirk.

Nowadays, with the decline of the club, people are dismissed, people are resigned, and people are changing jobs.

Everything, everything is gone!

That is the place where I have devoted my life's efforts, my only destination, is gone!

But what makes Old Dirk the most distressed is that the "elf fans" who once supported the club have been lost forever!

But giving up is never the character of Old Dirk. Even if he dies, he must die on the road to recovery.

Yes, Old Dirk still wants to bring the club back to the First Division and regain its former glory!

Even though the people around him laughed behind his back at his whims and randomness.

But Old Dirk still has no hesitation, and in the name of revival, he must spend the rest of his life fighting!

When people die, they must die on the way to pursue their dreams. Otherwise, without dreams, people will be nothing more than a shell.

This is also the reason why Old Dirk came here. Since he has no connections and money, Old Dirk can only work in person.

And you can only come to the Kanto area to try your luck, because other areas have long been tightly controlled by the "Elf Detectives" from other clubs.

With the current ability of Old Dirk, there is no way to penetrate there.

"Hey~." Old Dirk, who was about to leave with a long sigh, stopped getting up.

Old Dirk's eyes lit up with a gloomy face, because an absolutely unexpected picture appeared in his sight.

Because among the many trainers coming and going, there was an elf that Old Dirk saw for the first time today.

In this day and age, which trainer would train such an elf?

"Big needle bee? Interesting..." Old Dirk picked up his pipe again and thought thoughtfully.

Can that hopeless dream of revival really come true?
