Pokémon League Chronicles/Farming, Pokémon Trainer!

When she thought that she had worked overtime for three days in a row and needed a vacation, but before she even had time to rest and sleep, she had to go to the field to do some exhausting field research. Nono almost burst into tears on the spot: "But, but, I still have a lot of good things to do. There are more than ten kilograms of documents to process..."

"Oh, that's true."

Mingyao nodded, turned his head and looked at Majiamu with a smile: "Boss, speaking of which, I have a lot of work to do now, and I won't be able to leave for a while..."

Ma Jiamu immediately understood, waved his hand, and said with great heroism: "You can just go and get all the work to be done, and just go and investigate without any worries!"

Nuonuo was shocked: "You mean, you want to complete the work for us personally? How can this be..."

Having said that, Nono couldn't help but sigh again in his heart, Magamu is worthy of being the leader of the Galaxy Team, he is really self-denying, hardworking and uncomplaining...

"Leave your work to Xingyue, she will solve it for you!"

Chapter 18 Suddenly I can’t think of a title again

After deeply understanding the principle of "the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked", and after a moment of silence for the team leader named "Xingyue" whom he had never met, Nono returned to his place under Mingyao's instructions. We rested in the room for an hour, changed into clothes suitable for outdoor sports, and then gathered at the east gate of Zhuqing Village.

Although Nono wanted to say that as a homebody who specializes in humanities research, she did not have any "clothes suitable for outdoor sports", but she looked down at the school-issued clothes on her body. Although it could not be said to be very exquisite, it was She had always cherished her scientific white coat, so she decided to take it off and fold it up, and took out a few old clothes that were resistant to dirt and wear and tear and put them on.

By the time she arrived at the east gate, Mingyao seemed to have been waiting there for a long time.

He was not much different from usual. He tied his hair casually into a ponytail and wore his iconic bright red scarf around his neck, which was very conspicuous.

Mingyao looked at her and said nothing. He took out a set of notebooks and pens for the investigation team's special field investigation from his backpack and handed them to Nono. At the same time, he said casually:

"Secretary Nono, do you have experience in geological surveys?"

"Not at all." Nono shook his head honestly: "I study humanities and have nothing to do with geological research."

"I think so." Mingyao sighed: "But there is nothing we can do about it. Xiaozhao has been working at the King Kong settlement recently, and most of the members of the investigation team are also busy with their own jobs. We can only rely on the two laymen like us first. Go and have a look, just put some effort into it and write out the report.

Relax, don't think of it as work, just think of it as after working overtime for three days, let's go on a field outing to relax and relax. "

Rather than team building, I would rather be able to rest alone in the dormitory for half a day...

After Nuonuo muttered a few words silently in his mind, he took out the map and looked at it. He couldn't help but sigh: "Let's go, Chairman. With this distance, the round trip alone will take several hours. I hope we can The sun won't rise tomorrow when I come back... Oooh, my feet are starting to hurt."

"Oh, you don't have to worry about this. If you follow my men, if nothing else, you don't have to worry about traveling."

"Ok?"

Nuonuo glanced at Mingyao in confusion, and saw the latter throwing a pokeball casually. After a flash of light, she suddenly felt dizzy and almost fainted.

She subconsciously closed her eyes, but a moment later, before she opened her eyes, the sound of rushing water reached her ears.

water?

There does seem to be a small river in Zhuqing Village, but is the water there so strong?

Thinking this, Nono opened his eyes.

Then she was surprised to find that in just the blink of an eye, the scene around her was completely different from before!

The east gate of Zhuqing Village and the photo studio and pickle shop on both sides of the road not far away are gone. They are replaced by moss-covered cliffs. Not far away is a large waterfall more than 20 meters wide and at least a hundred meters high. , the majestic Bai Lian hung in the sky, and the sound of water that Nono heard came from there.

She rubbed her eyes carefully and found that she seemed to be on a strange mountain. The altitude was at least 150 meters above sea level. The hills and roads she had never seen in the distance seemed far away and out of reach, full of unreality. .

Looking further down, the lake at the foot of the mountain is crystal clear, and the carp kings splashing in it look smaller than a grain of rice.

Nono was silent for a moment: "Chairman, I seem to be hallucinating because of overwork..."

"No, you didn't. I'll give you half a month's salary from Qi Yun as a guarantee."

"Then how do you explain the scene in front of me!" Nono was about to cry: "I'm still young, I haven't been in love yet, I haven't been to a big city yet, I don't want to get mentally ill, I really Can't tell..."

"Stop, stop, stop, you little girl, don't be so pessimistic." Mingyao pointed to his side calmly: "This guy brought us here."

Nuonuo followed Mingyao's fingers and noticed this time that a humanoid Pokémon with a fluttering skirt had appeared beside them.

It had green "hair" and a pure white skirt, and gracefully bowed to Nono.

"Pokémon?" Nono subconsciously took two steps back, but because the Pokémon in front of her was not only not "evil in form", but also very cute, she was not that afraid.

"Its racial name is Gardevoir, and I haven't decided on its individual name yet, so you can just call it Gardevoir for now." Mingyao waved his hand: "It has a special move called teleportation, and the effect is exactly as it sounds. Just one trip from the east gate of Zhuqing Village to here is enough."

Nono was stunned, lowered his head and looked at the map in his hand repeatedly, and then confirmed his current location through the surrounding scenery. He said in disbelief: "The straight-line distance from Zhuqing Village to here is at least more than twenty Kilometers! But it actually brought us here all at once?”

Mingyao nodded, took Gardevoir back into the Poké Ball, and said casually: "Yes, it's very powerful, right? The teleportation distance of ordinary Pokémon is not that far."

"I think this can't be summed up by simply saying "It's awesome"..."

It can even be said to be terrifying - Nono added silently in his heart.

Mingyao discerned the direction and walked to one side. Nuonuo followed closely behind him and whispered: "Chairman, where should we start the investigation now..."

"Black Gold Tunnel." Mingyao said concisely: "Although it is not directly marked on the map, there is a micro-tunnel about 100 meters long under this mountain. It was dug by people in the past for the convenience of transportation. However, due to the backwardness and incompetence of the excavation project, Science, collapsed a few years ago and is no longer used.

It's no longer possible to pass there, but it's perfect for us to start investigating. "

The two of them observed the surroundings as they walked, stopping and walking, and soon saw a hole about five meters wide on the mountain wall not far away.

"Wait a minute, Chairman, look!" Nono pointed to the entrance of the cave: "That's...the fire and the sleeping bag? Is anyone here?"

Mingyao naturally saw what Nuonuo said.

He walked over quickly and saw some miscellaneous personal belongings randomly placed beside the extinguished fire, including kettles, lunch boxes, etc. Judging from the number, there should be two people.

I don't know why, but Mingyao always feels that there is something in these sundries that looks particularly familiar to him.

Especially, those cherry pink clogs.

Chapter 19 This kid probably doesn’t know what kind of dressing aesthetic his descendants can have.

Mingyao took a closer look at the pile of debris and found that in addition to the familiar pink wooden clogs, there was also a rusty geological hammer with a damaged head, and a few nails that looked like they were used in mining. .

After looking around, he had a rough idea. He waved his hand to Nuonuo and pointed to the hole in front of him: "Let's go, let's go find them and say hello."

"Huh?" Nono raised his head: "Do you know the owners of these things? And do you know where they have gone?"

"Well, they are considered partners of the Pokémon League, and you will probably have to say hello to them in the future.

As for whether they are in this hole, it is completely my guess.But as far as I know, the owners of these clogs generally won't take them off unless absolutely necessary.

And since they are here, it means that she must have to go to some places where it is difficult to move while wearing them... For example, the large tunnel in front of us has collapsed inside. "

Nuonuo nodded as if he understood, then looked at the debris with Mingyao, and then walked into the tunnel ruins together.

As soon as they walked into the entrance of the cave, the smell of earth and ore hit their faces. The road was filled with large and small gravels blocking the road. The two of them were almost unable to stand down while walking on the road.

After walking more than ten meters inside, the lights outside the tunnel were completely cut off. The road ahead was pitch black, looking deep and terrifying, as if a terrifying ghost would emerge from the front at any time.

Mingyao turned his back to Nonuo, who was timid in the face of darkness, and subconsciously stepped on his own shadow:

"(Be careful not to show off, and stay still. Don't scare the little girl into a mental illness. The mental damage fee will be deducted from your feed money.)"

Then, he took out two flashlights (produced by the Galaxy Team Manufacturing Team) from his bag, opened them and handed one to Nuonuo, ignoring the latter's surprised look when he saw the flashlight, and looked at the light carefully. Observing the up, down, left and right sides of the cave.

Unfortunately, although Mingyao's vision is now enough to see clearly without a flashlight, vision and vision are two different things.

With his own layman's eyesight, he really couldn't tell the specific difference between the soil and rocks near here and other places just by looking at them.

Why don't you let Variety transform into a Pokémon that has magnetic properties, or can use magnetic fields to control moves, and try to attract all the metal here?

No, it is said that a lot of soil and rocks have a certain amount of metal content. If they are just sucked in, there is no way to prove that this is a mineral vein, and there are many minerals that may not be attracted by themselves, such as coal mines and the like...

How about digging some rocks here and there to use as raw materials, and then go back and show them to knowledgeable people for identification?But are there any professionals in this field in Zhuqing Village...

Mingyao was thinking wildly when he suddenly heard a rush of footsteps coming from the front of the tunnel, and at the same time there was an urgent and panicked shout:

"People over there! Put out the lights quickly! Hurry!"

The owner of the voice sounded young, only about fourteen years old, and it sounded familiar to Mingyao. After thinking about it for a while, he recognized the identity of the other person.

He didn't turn off the light as the other party said, he just turned on the flashlight, stepped forward and said with a smile: "Why?"

"You still ask why! Of course it's to prevent another collapse in the tunnel... huh? Why is it you?"

The man ran over in a hurry, and his short figure gradually appeared within the scope of the flashlight. He was a young man wearing a Pearl Team uniform and a cowboy hat.

Mingyao smiled and waved to him: "Long time no see, Director Juyi. When was the last time we met?"

The person who came was none other than the leader of the Pearl Team, whom Mingyao had met for a while because of the violent Ax Splitting Mantis in the town. When they first met, Mingyao's Kirby sent an earthquake and directly destroyed his own hole-digging sticky treasure. , Juyi.

He was stunned when he saw Mingyao, and seemed to subconsciously want to say something to say hello, but he still stamped his foot, quickly reached out his hand to cover the flashlight in Mingyao's hand, and patted it several times as if to extinguish it.

While filming, he looked out of the corner of his eye at Nono, who was also holding a flashlight behind him: "That guy over there, don't stay still! Turn out the lights quickly! It's very dangerous!"

Mingyao was suddenly puzzled, but he still dimmed the flashlight a little: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this light?"

"Of course there is a problem. You can't light a fire in this tunnel!" Ju Yi said seriously: "If an open fire is lit here, it may react with substances in the air and cause a violent explosion! This tunnel was built because someone used it here. The torch just exploded and collapsed!"

"Oh, I see, that's it..." Mingyao couldn't help but feel a little funny, and turned on the flashlight again: "But don't worry, our lamp does not use candles or open flames for lighting, but electricity. .”

Juyi was stunned for a moment, then asked in confusion: "...What does electricity mean?"

Don't blame this poor kid for being uneducated. If the Xicui area is a rural area in the north, then the Pearl settlement in the far north is a backward and closed mountainous area in the countryside, with inconvenient transportation and information. Coupled with his age, I am still young and have little knowledge, so it is natural for me to subconsciously ask such questions.

Mingyao scratched his head: "It's a natural physical phenomenon caused by the movement of electric charges... You probably won't understand it if I explain it to you. Just understand it as an energy source different from fire. Don't worry, it's not possible to use electricity like this. It will cause an explosion."

Ju Yi said "Oh", her face seemed to blush slightly, she stepped back and coughed twice, and nodded towards Mingyao:

"Long time no see, Mr. Mingyao...

Sister Zhubei specially told me that you helped her a lot and asked me to greet you well when I see you again. "

"Oh, I did receive it." Mingyao waved his hand with a smile: "What are you doing here? Can you tell me about it?"

"I'm here to dig rocks." Juyi raised his hand, letting Mingyao see a small digging pickaxe in his hand: "To evolve from the flying mantis to the axe-splitting mantis, you need a stone called black strange stone. , it is also my job as the director to prepare stones in advance for the next generation of "kings"."

"I see..." Mingyao touched his chin, and after thinking for a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Could it be that, Juyi, you are very good at digging rocks?"

Chapter 20 Technical Specialization

Under Mingyao's eager gaze, although Juyi was a little confused about the situation, she still nodded subconsciously:

"Well, I'm really good at mining rocks. Usually in the Pearl Team, in addition to doing the work of the field manager, I basically dig all kinds of stones everywhere, including stones needed for Pokémon evolution or other All kinds of ores, whether they are used or sold, are all my responsibility."

Mingyao suddenly felt happy, and he looked at each other with Nuonuo behind him, both of them showing joy in their eyes.

They were worrying about the lack of professional knowledge just now, but then Ju Yi, a mineral expert, came to their door...

Isn’t this just someone giving you a pillow when you’re sleepy?

Mingyao pondered for a moment and was about to speak when he heard another set of footsteps coming from the tunnel, and a familiar figure appeared at the end of the tunnel.

"Juyi, what happened...eh? Mingyao? Why are you here?"

Mingyao waved to the other party well prepared: "Hey, partner, we haven't seen each other for a while, right?"

Zhubei came closer, looked him up and down, and said with some surprise and confusion in his tone: "What's wrong with you? You seem to be very tired."

Mingyao touched the dark circles under his eyes and yawned unconsciously: "Because I am really tired. I have been sitting in the office for almost a month. I probably only checked a little bit before I collapsed in the middle of starting a business... ...Well, but now my work has been handed over to the old leader anyway, so I can relax for a while."

Zhubei hummed twice, then looked past Mingyao and looked behind him at Nonuo, who was consciously or unconsciously trying to reduce his presence without making a sound. He couldn't help but said: "Um, who is this one?"

Frankly speaking, as a scientific research nerd, Nono is somewhat autistic and social-phobic. The less she interacts with strangers in school, the better.

But unfortunately, the workplace is not school, and some greetings have to be said.Especially now that the "partners" on the other side have clearly pointed out their concerns, Nono can no longer pretend to be mute.

She took two steps forward, pointed to the wooden business card of "Internship Secretary" pinned to her body, and leaned towards Jubei and Juyi:

"Hello, I am Nono, who is from the Padia region and has recently arrived in the Xicui region. I am currently working as an intern in the Pokémon League in Celebration Village, and my position is the affairs secretary."

"Secretary secretary?" Zhubei and Juyi looked at each other with some doubts in their voices - they couldn't understand such a modern job title at all...

"To put it simply, they are my assistants." Mingyao waved his hand and introduced to Nuonuo: "These two are Zhubei, the leader of the Pearl Team, and Juyi, the director of the forest who is responsible for taking care of the axe-splitting mantis. They are me. The partner I mentioned to you before.”

Nuonuo was stunned, and suddenly raised his head: "Pearl Team, is it Pearl Team, one of the two tribes that claim to be descendants of the legendary ancient people of God?"

Zhu Bei's eyes widened slightly, and she said slightly surprised: "Do you understand it very well?"

"Well... my academic research topic is called "Pokémon and the Legend of Creation". It is a topic rooted in the Xicui region, so cultures such as Team Pearl and Team Kong, the People of the Gods, and the Legend of Ancient Sinnoh Heroes I understand the background." Nono nodded, and then whispered to Mingyao: "Before I came to the Xicui area, I planned to visit these two ethnic groups to investigate..."

"Oh, that's a coincidence. Team King Kong is also our ally. If you have needs or have anything to ask, just go to them directly. Is that okay, Zhubei?"

Zhubei nodded: "Of course there is no problem with this... But then again, why are you here?"

"That's a long story."

Mingyao scratched his hair and quickly talked about everything from the letters from the big companies in Fanba City to Team Galaxy's decision to develop the mineral vein, and finally looked at Juyi:

"So, Director Juyi, can you help us with the investigation here?"
