Pokémon: Just won the championship, the newbie growth system is here!

As Ye Luo was eating breakfast by the roadside in the new year, he noticed two Pokémon battling in the open space of the square.

Needless to say, the trainers of Newleaf Cat and Cyndaquil are Xiaoxu and Anai.

Even during holidays, they didn't stop training; in fact, they had no choice but to train.

Since the Cerulean Gym was closed for the holiday, the two decided to improve their strength through special training and challenge it again after the holiday.

"We'll take a day off for New Year's Day. The dojo will be open to challengers tomorrow. Good luck!"

Ye Luo silently cheered on the two novice trainers, then walked around them.

Compared to yesterday's hailstorm, today is sunny and bright, a sign of a new year and a fresh start.

The winter sun only provides a faint warmth, but it's still much better than the biting cold wind.

Umbreon walked beside its trainer, occasionally glancing at its surroundings. Ye Luo ate the steamed bun in his hand, thinking about what happened last night.

"The little diamond took the Diancie back with it; I wonder if they made it home safely."

It is a rare Pokémon in the Kanto region, and there is a risk that trainers will challenge it to a battle in the wild in an attempt to capture it.

In the city, because trainers can't tell which Pokémon are wild or domesticated, everyone generally assumes they won't try to catch wild Pokémon. But in the wild, it's a different story.

However, Ye Luo was just thinking about it casually. Putting aside the fact that Diancie was just a pretty face, the two little diamonds did have some strength.

They've already mastered psychic powers; maybe that researcher from Team Rocket really did come up with some kind of high-tech contraption that forcibly enhanced Little Diamond's potential.

Fortunately, this research has been buried in the dust of history, and the computer has been destroyed beyond repair.

In short, even if Little Diamond encounters a passing trainer, they won't lose, so there's no point in worrying about them now.

Ye Luo sat down by the roadside while eating a steamed bun, and Umbreon jumped on top of her, also munching on its half-eaten vegetable bun.

Ye Luo pondered.

"We still need to consider where to go next."

If a new trainer only has one path to take, he has three choices in front of him.

Since Ye Luo had no reason to challenge the gyms, the only problem troubling him was how to travel easily.

Should we go to Goldenrod City or Lavender City?

Alternatively, you could go to Koba City and take a cruise to see the sea.

Ye Luo no longer has any worries about funds or transportation, and has plenty of free time, so she can go wherever she wants.

However, for new trainers, it is recommended to focus on the difficulty of gyms during your travels, as the difficulty of gyms has been deliberately set by the League.

As for why this regulation is in place, it's obviously for the sake of tourism, with trainers driving local financial activity.

Located in Saffron City, the heart of the Kanto region, the Saffron Gym is a gym that can only be challenged in the later stages of the journey.

Trainers must prove they have sufficient strength before the Goldenrod Gym will open its doors to them; otherwise, going there will only result in being beaten.

Of course, there are also examples of people who only obtained two badges but defeated the Saffron City Gym Leader, who was much stronger than them, to obtain the badges, but those are extremely rare.

Most trainers will start from Cerulean City, stop in Saffron City, spend the money they've worked so hard to earn through battles in the materialistic Saffron City, and then resupply before heading lightly to Vermilion City, which is the trainer's third stop.

After the trainer traveled to many cities in Kanto, he had plenty of money and strength. He then returned to Saffron City and spent all his money.

The route is deliberately designed, so trainers will find it difficult to save money during their journey, as they have to take care of their Pokémon and cover their daily expenses. By the time they have saved enough money, they will have reached a city where they can spend their money freely.

Goldenrod City is the most developed urban hub in the Kanto region, where you can buy items and goods that you've never even heard of anywhere else.

In addition, new trainers who come to Saffron City for the first time from Cerulean City will have a sense of shock, like a country bumpkin entering the city for the first time, but they are short of money and can't afford anything.

Once you become stronger and have plenty of funds, it's almost impossible not to spend them when you return to Golden City.

If you've already set your sights on a particular piece of clothing or an all-terrain bicycle before you even buy it, all your hard work along the way seems to have been worthwhile.

Goldenrod City seems to have a superpower; every time you pass through, it inadvertently drains the wallets of trainers.

However, Ye Luo believes there is another point: it is precisely because the cost of trainer travel is very low that people do not have the idea of ​​saving too much.

Even if you don't have money, the Elf Center provides free accommodation and free berries. The dry cleaners only charge one dollar to clean your clothes, and the bathhouse only charges five dollars.

Trainers who want to earn money can battle other trainers, or even more quickly, challenge gyms directly. Gym leaders will give trainers who succeed a generous travel reward.

The gym leader's salary is paid by the league, and the gym leader is essentially a local civil servant.

Trainers will carry this money between cities, and the money will eventually be spent and returned to the market. The business alliance will have to pay taxes to the Kanto Alliance when operating in the Kanto region, thus forming a closed loop of funds.

After studying this theory of trainer economics in depth, I found it quite interesting.

The Kanto Pokémon League is like a large organization that hosts sports events, but it also has administrative functions for the Kanto region.

The purpose of hosting the Indigo League tournament is to generate revenue from trainers and ticket sales in order to maintain popularity; it's like hosting a global Olympics every four years to encourage local young people to become trainers.

At the same time, the Kanto Pokémon League levies taxes on local businesses, and this money is paid to Gym Leaders in the form of League subsidies, which in turn pays traveling Trainers.

As long as there is a constant stream of new trainers traveling between cities, there will never be a shortage of spending power, nor a lack of fresh blood flowing into the cities.

At the same time, according to the rules of this world, anyone who is ten years old or older is considered an adult, and becoming a trainer is a good career path.

It can create jobs for young people and give children something to look forward to.

In the Pokémon world, strength reigns supreme; with enough skill, even a trainer from the countryside can become a League Champion.

And there is a very important point: Pokémon cannot be inherited. You can leave your powerful Pokémon to your descendants, but the Pokémon will not accept the trainer's children to command them, nor will they go on adventures with them.

Therefore, every new generation of trainers can be said to have to start from scratch, which is equivalent to leveling the starting line.

While wealthy families can prepare promising starter Pokémon for their children, this is already considered quite fair.

Becoming a trainer has low trial-and-error costs; winning at a gym brings income, and there's a visible path to advancement.

If you succeed, reach the Quartz Plateau, and make it into the top four, your income will skyrocket, and you'll have an honor to boast about for a lifetime.

If you fail, don't be discouraged and start over. You left home at ten and only turned 14 when the League Tournament ended. On average, a trainer can participate in the League Tournament three times and only turns 26.

One option is to bring a team of Pokémon with you and use the money you earn on your journey to open a shop and fleece the next generation of trainers.

There will always be new trainers on their journeys, and naturally, there will be expenses along the way. Although savings are low, the Pokémon Center provides basic services free of charge, and high liquidity is actually a good thing for the market.

When Ye Luo learned about these things, he believed that the Trainer Economy was a very healthy internal economic cycle model.

After all, only when we see hope can we be motivated to achieve our goals, and building a better world is not something that can be achieved for no reason.

Umbreon finished eating Ye Luo's vegetable bun, licked its lips, and rested its head on Ye Luo's lap.

The winter sun shone on Eevee's black fur, making it feel warm to the touch.

"Let's set our sights on Golden City after all."

After much thought, Golden City seemed like the best place to replenish supplies for the trip, and Ye Luo was also curious whether the department store would launch any attractive new products.

Umbreon purred as its fur was stroked, and wiggled its ears. It just followed its trainer wherever he went, and the Pokémon didn't need to worry about the destination.

Ye Luo, bathed in the winter sun, groomed her Umbreon while planning her famous itinerary.

Peaceful days are spent in a lazy manner.
