Chapter 1 Ouray Region
Training is over.
lounge.
Kashiwagi, who turned sixteen not long ago, took off the clothes that were stuck to his body with sweat on his face, revealing a strong body.
A colleague came in from outside. He stretched out his hand to say hello, picked up toiletries and walked into the bathroom.
When the water hit his face, splashed everywhere, or flowed down the river, he couldn't help but start thinking and remembering.
This is Huangtie Town.
A place full of steampunk style, exposing metal pipes of different thicknesses, mechanical structures with various gears, and a rusty and dark core.
Although it is said to be a town, its population size is actually no smaller than that of a city in the same area.
The endless mineral deposits underground are also the main source of income here.
Located in the interior of the Ourei region, like most towns, it is surrounded by endless wilderness and desert. At a glance, only yellow, gray and black are visible, and active green is rarely seen.
The technology is relatively advanced, but it is not a beautiful place.
Therefore, Kashiwagi often regrets that as a time traveler, why he was not reincarnated into the main series area.
A place like Ole.
Not to mention the quality of life, for a person like him who has no parents, no money, no power, and no power, it is extremely difficult to obtain Pokémon and become a trainer, and the competition is terrifying.
travel? Attending a conference?
Too far away from him.
Of course, the main reason is that wild Pokémon cannot be caught in the Ole area.
As a corner of the world and a distant land, most trainers rely on imported Pokémon, and there are very few wild individuals.
This direct reason has led to Kashiwagi not being able to get his own Pokémon so far. Without Pokémon, it means that it is difficult to change his destiny.
But there will always be bread, and there will always be Pokémon.
The quicksand team, a second-rate force that automatically joins when they wake up, is selecting official members. Peripheral members, that is, minions, can get a Pokémon from the leaders as long as they pass the assessment.
Although he is not very happy, he does not have the right to decide on this thing. After entering, it will be difficult to withdraw.
Thinking about it this way, the Rockets, who often eliminate bad players, are simply too humane. Everyone in Huangtie Town will be assigned a job, and the poor at the bottom who don't want to work will just be driven to the underground city to mine. If they are unlucky, they may mine for the rest of their lives.
escape?
The next nearest town is at least a hundred kilometers away, and the entire period is desert. It is difficult to find an oasis with water, and it is extremely easy for people to lose their sense of direction. Not to mention that the escape speed is not as fast as a high-tech hoverbike.
The station leading outside is even more crowded. There are countless pickpockets, gangsters, and swindlers. They are basically the secret lines of various major forces. Those who have been branded will be caught as soon as they get on the train.
Population is Huangtie Town's most important resource.
Furthermore, even if he goes to other areas, his status as a gangster is still a problem, and he can easily be deported if caught.
Not to mention that he is illiterate and can only understand some very basic vocabulary. There was no library in the town, nor was there a free educational environment for him to go to school.
His only advantage now is his young physique. The Quicksand team was in urgent need of new blood, and the two hit it off.
As for what to do next, he decided to get Pokémon first and then move on.
By the way...there's this thing.
Kashiwagi glanced at the countdown numbers in the lower right corner of his vision. He had been counting down since he woke up and fused his memories a week ago, and it was almost over.
Based on his understanding of time-travelers, this is probably not a benefit that most people have.
I couldn't help but look forward to it.
After taking a shower.
Kashiwagi resisted the desire to go back to his den and wait for the countdown to clear, so he had a meal with some familiar colleagues and drank some beer.
Listening to their drunken complaints, he felt quite calm.
Being gregarious is very important. Without the ability to protect oneself, being independent will only make him hostile and ostracized, so he has to go out for a drink with this group of people no matter how unhappy he is.
Most of the minions in the Quicksand Team just muddle along, living day by day, and their salary is always a week's ray, a day's ray, but not the moon's ray.
But in this town, which is secretly almost completely controlled by various organizations, they are living a pretty good life. At least they have a much easier time than the low-level casual workers, and they also have a fixed salary.
If you include the "extra money" you get from playing Qiufeng, you can barely buy a Pokémon for a few months.
But how could cultivating Pokémon be as simple as patting your head? All kinds of Pokémon food, nutritional pills and other necessities are surprisingly expensive, not to mention Pokémon massage, post-war treatment, etc...
Getting Pokémon is the beginning of spending money.
Therefore, most of the minions who are getting by can only look at other people's Pokémon with envy, and then use the money in their pockets to live in a dream.
As for Kashiwagi, he has the instinct to save money, but many times he instinctively resists some "extra money" and refuses to spend the money he got through the autumn wind, secretly receiving it on the other side, so that the actual amount of deposits is not ideal. .
Obviously "salary" is not very clean either.
It can only be said that this is the bottom line he thinks he wants to stick to. Even if he takes fifty steps and laughs a hundred steps, it is better than actually walking a hundred steps.
How long can such a naive idea persist?
He himself was curious.
…
Qingyi Street.
As one of the neighborhoods controlled by the Quicksand Team, there are residences provided by them to the outside minions.
From the appearance, it looks no different from an old garbage dump.
The two-story bungalow is riddled with holes, dirt can be seen everywhere, graffiti with unknown meanings, an unspeakable stench, and various rusty iron sheets with sharp edges...
No normal person would want to live here.
But one thing is that it is extremely safe.
Although the Quicksand Team was only a second-rate force in Huangtie Town, very few people dared to cause trouble for them. The fundamental reason was that they had a strong leader and a solid backing.
Kashiwagi returned home and quickly closed the door, leaving the strange smell outside, and lay down on the bed to wait for the countdown to end.
What would be the golden finger?
He was somewhat looking forward to it, but also vaguely worried that this might not be a golden finger, but some kind of countdown to death or disaster.
I was lucky enough to come to the Pokémon world, but unfortunately I didn't get a good start.
The complicated emotions made him worry about gains and losses.
And just as he was thinking wildly, the countdown ended.
A line of text appeared in his field of vision out of thin air, flickering non-stop.
[Trainer life simulator starts, remaining times: 2, countdown to next supplement: 168:00:00]
Emulator?
Kashiwagi was stunned for a moment, and saw a new line of words pop up.
[Start simulation? whether】
He took a deep breath and was a little glad that this thing was in Chinese. He slowly clicked on it, and three lines of words flew out before his eyes again.
【Choose your birthplace▽】
【Choose your gender▽】
【Choose your Pokémon▽】
Kashiwagi clicked on the first row, and the main series areas suddenly appeared in front of him, but the side story areas were not seen.
He chose Kanto.
There are only two options for gender, male and female.
He chose male.
The Pokémon that can be selected is a bit strange, only one is random. There are none of the Kanto classic Gosanjia, the many wild dog-like Pikachus on the roadside, or the common Pokémon Eevee.
Since he had no choice, Kashiwagi silently clicked on random and determined his three options.
[Please extract your talents]
Press.
Fixed talents:
[Fledgling (the progress of training Pokémon is slow)]
Optional talents:
[Rough hands and feet (Pokémon health management is rough)]
[My family is poor (it’s a burden to raise Pokémon)]
[Hot-blooded boy (always positive attitude)]
[Peach Blossoms (possibly dating with the opposite sex)]
Kashiwagi took a closer look. Fixed talents cannot be replaced, but optional talents can be chosen from two items.
Just these four...
No matter how you think about it, only the last two can be chosen, right? Only the first two idiots will choose.
Or is there a trap here?
never mind.
Anyway, there are two chances.
Knowing that practice is more effective than blind guessing, Kashiwagi lit up the last two talents and determined his options.
All of a sudden.
An illusory screen appeared in front of you, with weird pixel animations showing on it, and text jumping out below to explain.
It's like a game promotional video.
