Pokémon: World of Wonder

How many Alliance Coins does Jiang Ye have?

Thanks to various forms of assistance along the way, he had more than enough Alliance Coins to spare. Even after transferring two million Alliance Coins to his parents and checking all his belongings, he still managed to get them.

In total, he still has over 1.1 million in liquid funds, which is more than enough for him to travel all the way to the headquarters of the Huangyan Alliance, the Four Symbols Plateau.

Of course, the premise is that I no longer need to buy all sorts of ridiculously expensive items for my Pokémon, but that's impossible then. Let's take it one step at a time. Moving to the city is something Jiang Ye wanted to say but didn't when he went back last time.

After glancing at the forum, Jiang Ye saw that Lulina had paid the room fee and wished him a safe journey. He stretched his body and strapped the modified vehicle to Che Dian.

After putting on his riding gear, Che Dian did a couple of laps before Jiang Ye mounted him and left the beach.

This place is indeed excellent. It's near Glorious Harbor and adjacent to Yuncao Town. Most importantly, the river bridge next to it is staffed by Alliance officials, so even if something happens, they can provide support quickly.

Now Jiang Ye needs to travel north along the Great River Bend of the Adventure Road, cross the Taiji Mountains, walk along the coast of the Huangyan Continent, make a circle, and then take a boat from Mianmian Town to Shuitou Village.

After crossing the Meteorite Mountains to reach the city where the last dojo is located, Dimi City, and finally crossing the Taiji Mountains from Tranquil Village, you can reach the Four Symbols Plateau.

Along the Trainer Road, Lightning carried Jiang Ye at breakneck speed. They didn't see many Trainers along the way, but they could occasionally see some Forest Rangers checking something in the woods by the roadside.

The rangers in this world aren't some roadside battle maniacs. Their main job is to maintain the local Pokémon ecosystem, keeping it relatively stable while preventing the emergence of overly powerful Pokémon.

In addition, they also need to cooperate with many official organizations to carry out various investigations, protect some relatively rare Pokémon, prohibit large-scale capture, and prevent poaching.

It is precisely because of the existence of rangers that the combat power of Pokémon can only be maintained at a relatively stable level, which led to the birth of Pokémon hunters. The only difference between these guys and trainers in catching Pokémon is that they do not use Poké Balls to catch them.

Using various tools at their disposal, they capture a large number of Pokémon of all types. There are even quite a few who specialize in a particular type of Pokémon and are ruthless enough to exterminate all Pokémon of that type in a region!

This is something the League absolutely does not allow. Before the establishment of Rangers, the ecological collapse that often occurred was the complete disappearance of the local population of Bug-type Pokémon, which would then directly lead to a Bug plague impacting the local settlement.

These unscrupulous guys time their stockpiling perfectly, first capturing a batch of Pokémon to sell, then watching the insect plague happen before running back to their local area to make a fortune from the disaster, profiting from both sides.

Even more ruthless individuals, building on this, spread numerous rumors, claiming that the Alliance was abandoning the area and that they could also take advantage of high-priced escort missions when leaving, thus achieving a triple win in one place.

Therefore, they don't just stand by the roadside and start battles with trainers for no reason. According to the forest ranger forum members that Jiang Ye has read online, they have to fight at least a dozen times a day with those few Pokémon with extremely stubborn tempers after finishing their work.

When they have a rare moment of leisure, they are either surfing the internet at secret rest stops or resting at ordinary rest stops.

By noon, although Jiang Ye didn't have a fixed location, he estimated from the map that he was almost at the fork in the road.

This fork in the road is one of only two before reaching Tiaowang Township; one leads to Qingjin City, and the other to Ningjing Village.

Jiang Ye, who had been sitting on the electric dog for a day, rolled off and stretched. Although Qingjin City seemed like a great supply point, Jiang Ye had no intention of going there.

First of all, although Qingjin City has very good welfare and policies, Qingjin City is very poor, literally poor. It is also located in a remote and mountainous area, and is a thorn in the side of the Alliance in Hot Rainforest.

However, Lapis Lazuli City does have its advantages, namely, it is rich in Bug, Poison, Water, and Grass-type Pokémon-related items.

However, in the context of the entire league, this is hardly an advantage. First of all, Water-type and Grass-type Pokémon trainers would never be so foolish as to venture into such remote mountain forests.

Why not go to the grasslands? Why not go to the coast?

Secondly, Bug-type and Poison-type trainers wouldn't flock to this place in large numbers.

Because, looking at the Pokémon League as a whole, items related to Poison and Bug-type Pokémon are relatively inexpensive and come in a wide variety, there's no need to go to such a cheap place.

By this time, Che Dian had found a dark pit by the roadside at the fork in the road. It was a trace of a campsite left by travelers who had passed through before. Jiang Ye made do and threw a few pieces of wood that he had picked up from the side into the pit.

Bang!

The Nine Suns hanging around Jiang Ye's neck emitted a fireball that instantly ignited the fire, and with the pot boiling water, a wisp of white smoke began to rise above the forest.

Zhou Nan was jolted awake by excruciating pain. His entire body felt as if it had been ripped apart, and his brain was filled with a tearing sensation. He opened his eyes in a daze, but there were three perspectives in his mind.

He was surrounded by spotless blue and white iron walls. A metal bed and an open toilet next to it reminded him of his current situation.

About two weeks ago, he was just a low-level trainer who had lost his Pokémon and was preparing to buy a boat ticket to go home.

Just as he got off the bus at the port, he noticed a group of people gathered together, chattering away. Curious, Zhou Nan instinctively moved closer to listen.

It turns out there's a company that has the advanced technology to clone and revive dead Pokémon, and even change their attributes, allowing you to customize them freely.

Half-believing, he approached and watched them demonstrate. He saw a dead Psyduck placed in the experimental chamber, which came out lively and energetic in no time.

Meanwhile, under the demonstration of the experimenters, Psyduck used Ember, a move that is almost impossible to learn. The rest of the situation was that a group of people frantically signed up and competed for it.

Zhou Nan also thought of his dead companion. Due to his carelessness in not bringing the antidote, the companion was poisoned to death on the way. But then he realized that it was just a clone, not a resurrection.

In addition, he was now penniless. After watching from afar for a while, he silently wanted to leave, but unexpectedly, the experimenters picked up the megaphone and shouted again.
