Pokémon: World of Wonder

Take a horse?

Jiang Ye was stunned for a moment when he heard the driver's strange local accent and weird lines. The driver, who was wearing sunglasses and had a light beard, noticed that Jiang Ye didn't answer, so he turned his head and pulled down his sunglasses.

The driver said with a frivolous tone, "Hey, young man, are you from another place?"

Jiang Ye nodded in response, "Yes, I am a trainer who came here to challenge the gym."

The driver was a little surprised, "Trainer?"

The driver looked Jiang Ye up and down, and a cool and handsome smile appeared on his face. "Hey, buddy, trainers ride for free, but look at this."

As he spoke, the driver took out a thin atlas from the co-pilot cabinet that had been prepared long ago and handed it to Jiang Ye.

Free again?

Jiang Ye raised his eyebrows, "There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world."

The driver forced the booklet into Jiang Ye's hand and explained with a smile, "Don't worry, little brother. Your bills will be reimbursed by the local guilds. We won't lose money."

Jiang Ye took the booklet and sat right behind the driver. "Then please take me to the Pokémon Center closest to the gym. By the way, since they are different guilds, which one are you from, Master?"

"Hey, how can I join those guilds? Ordinary people just help them. Only trainers like you and those hard-working guys at the dock are qualified to join." The driver said as he started the car.

Although the driver's alliance language had a strange accent, Jiang Ye could barely understand it now, "So, Master, which guild do you think is good?"

"Haha, which guild is good? Having no guild is the best! Those damn bastards, they grab territory with knives and guns every day, and kill like a group of mad dogs in secret. Everything in the city has been subject to a layer of guild tax! A bunch of damn vampires!"

Jiang Ye looked at the street scene passing by the window. People along the road were busy running for their livelihood. The local drivers were so dissatisfied, but there was no sign of resistance on the street. Many things could be understood without asking.

"Young man, if you want to challenge a gym, you have to go to the guild and get a post. Without a post, even if you apply for a gym challenge online, the gym will not let you participate in the gym challenge."

trouble.

Jiang Ye frowned. He hadn't been home for a while. He had originally planned to play in the gym challenge today, and then take the boat trip down the river this afternoon, and return to Jingshui City in a few days. But now it seemed that he couldn't leave today.

The car stopped and Jiang Ye came back to his senses. "Well, thank you for your reminder, Master."

He took some change from his pocket and put it in the driver's pocket. "This is a small token of my appreciation. We'll see each other again if we're lucky."

Just as Jiang Ye was about to open the car door, the master turned around and held Jiang Ye's arm, "Hey~! Brother, if you don't want to join the guild, you can buy the post on the black market. It opens at one o'clock in the evening, at the Diaokou Bar at the dock entrance."

After saying that, the master let go of his hand. Jiang Ye nodded, "Thank you."

I got off the bus and walked into the Pokémon Center, which looked identical in appearance. I was surprised by the scene in front of me as soon as I entered. The entire first floor lobby was actually divided into two parts in the middle. On the left, Miss Joy was standing at the service desk with a Poké Ball hanging on her head.

On the right is Miss Joy, but she is wearing a white coat and has a hotter figure. There are also a lot of places next to the windows on the right that are used to lay out many specialty products and restaurants.

He glanced at the diversion sign in front of him. The window on the left was for Pokémon only, and humans who needed medical services had to go to the window on the right. So the question was, where should Jiang Ye go to get accommodation now?

Jiang Ye subconsciously walked to Miss Joy on the left and asked, "Hello, Miss Joy, do you handle accommodation?"

Miss Joy explained with a smile, "We can arrange accommodation for both sides."

After taking a short nap in the dormitory, Jiang Ye looked at the communicator and saw that the gym challenge was about to begin. He jumped up from the bed. He had nothing to do this afternoon and had already made a reservation. Even if he was not allowed to participate, it would be nice to go and watch the game.

Walking out of the Pokémon Center and onto the street, Jiang Ye was about to wave when an elderly voice called out to him from the side.

"Young man, would you like a ride?"

Jiang Ye withdrew his hand and turned around. Not far away, there was a whole row of old-style rickshaws. A shirtless old man sitting on one of the old-style rickshaws was looking at Jiang Ye with a smile. He had a dark and thin figure, and every inch of muscle on his body was not long. He was born to live.

"Well, I'm going to Jingting Gym. Sir, is this a rickshaw?"

The old man laughed and said, "Haha, you're a trainer after all! Young man, take my car. It won't be much slower, and I can chat with you by the way."

Jiang Ye asked tentatively about the price, "How much?"

"I won't cheat outsiders either. I'll give you 15 big bucks."

Big brother? Alliance coin? Jiang Ye just felt that the local dialect of Jinhua City was a little strange, but these names might have other meanings.

As soon as we got in the car, the old man started chatting, "Brother, are you going to the gym challenge? Did you get the visiting card?"

Jiang Ye shook his head, "No, I just arrived in Jinhua City today."

The old man started to jog slowly, "That's not good. Without a visiting card, they won't let you participate in the gym challenge. I suggest you buy one on the black market, so you don't have to join a guild. There's no benefit in joining those guilds, and it only brings a lot of trouble."

Are they all allowed to buy them on the black market? Jiang Ye asked, "It's just joining a club, what's the trouble?"

"That's all? I've made it clear to you, little brother. Our place is different from other places. All the goods from Gangyan City are shipped from here to the whole world. Every inch of land is top-quality fertile land, which can support two masters!"

The old man didn't care whether Jiang Ye would respond or not. He trotted and muttered, "These two gentlemen are the alliance and the union. The alliance is that alliance. The alliance sounds nice and means that all the guilds are united, but in fact it is a gang!"

......

13 minutes later, Jiang Ye listened to the old man's endless complaints and said, "Brother, we've arrived. This is Jingting Gym. This is the gym opened by the president! You have to be careful in Jinhua. I'm going to drink~"

Watching the old man whistling as he trotted away, Jiang Ye was shocked. The shortest straight-line distance from the helipad to the gym was about 7 kilometers, which was actually impossible to walk that way.

It took thirteen minutes to run seven kilometers, and he talked incessantly while running. When the old man parked the car, he looked relaxed and comfortable, obviously he was able to do it with ease. I'm afraid he was not a good person when he was young.

Are you being careful? Jiang Ye looked up at the thunderclouds and lightning at the entrance of the gym and walked into the gym.
