Everyone else is a trainer, but you are a swordsman?

The Shield Blade Monster sensed Feng's faith and gently brought the blade closer to Feng, leaning against him to show closeness and encouragement. Although the blade was slightly cold, Feng felt warm in his heart.

After regaining his confidence, Feng began to think about his next plan.

The black market in Kanaz City is currently paralyzed. It is no longer possible for Feng to continue using the black market to obtain resources. It is time to go to other areas.

If people want to travel to other areas, they can only take a boat.

Unlike the real world, the seas of the Pokémon world are rife with dangers. After all, this is the world of "Warcraft." A single willful act by a high-level Pokémon could lead to shipwreck and death, not to mention the presence of aggressive Pokémon like Megalodon.

Even if there are powerful trainers on board, they can only save their own lives, but it is difficult to protect the fragile hull and the people on board.

Regions like Unova, Kalos, Galar, and Alola are too far away and the risk of sailing is very high, so the official has taken the cost of shipwrecks into account when pricing, making the tickets very expensive.

With Feng's current strength, he has neither powerful Flying-type Pokémon nor powerful Water-type Pokémon. With only a Gyarados, he would be doomed if the boat capsized.

Moreover, Feng has other options, so there is no need to take risks and spend a lot of money. For example, Sinnoh, Kanto and Johto regions are not far from Hoenn, the travel fee is relatively cheap, and the journey is relatively safe.

The underground forces in Kanto and Johto regions have been basically unified by Team Rocket. This can also be seen in the reports from the two regions. Apart from Team Rocket, there is not even a second villain organization in the news.

The corruption among the league's top brass in these two regions and the increasingly intense class contradictions have led to the Rockets' growing strength and are showing signs of an uprising.

If Feng wants to develop in the underground of Kanto, he will definitely have to join Team Rocket, and he might even be forced to join them. However, with Feng's current Pokémon strength, joining Team Rocket would only mean he would be cannon fodder.

If he had nothing, Feng wouldn't mind taking a gamble. But now Feng has a King-level Pokémon and two Champion-level Pokémon, so he doesn't need to take such a big risk.

The Sinnoh region is much better off. The previous Dark Organization has been almost wiped out by Sirona. Team Galaxy is not officially recognized as a Dark Organization, and its leader, Red Sun, is still a philanthropist and big boss who often appears on TV.

After thinking about it, Feng decided to go to Sinnoh to develop. If there is a chance, he can also witness Sirona become the champion.

……

Not long after, Feng returned to the city of Kanaz.

The sun is shining brightly in the sky. On the streets, children are chasing and playing with Pokémon, laughing and playing games. If they see a trainer passing by, they will show envy and longing on their faces.

The adults in the street shops were shouting their sales pitch, and the Pokémon around them were also working together wearing aprons.

From time to time, flocks of proud swallows flew across the sky. On the roof, lazy cats were curled up and dozing. On the balcony, the walking grass slowly shook its head towards the sun...

This place, the bright side of Kanaz City, was peaceful and beautiful. The bloody melee and life-and-death struggles that Feng had experienced before seemed like an illusory nightmare. Or rather, it was a beautiful dream that made people intoxicated and unwilling to wake up.

Feng has been on the go all the time. Even on the road, he is constantly thinking about the next plan and how to become stronger, but he has forgotten something very important.

Isn't the purpose of the Pokémon anime to showcase the beauty of the world? The interactions between humans and Pokémon are harmonious and heartwarming, passionate and touching. If Feng were to travel back to a normal family, the world he'd see would likely be different, and the story with Feng as the protagonist might have taken on a completely different tone.

After calming himself down and suppressing his desire for beauty, Feng remembered his primary goal for the day - the Elf Center.

"You want to update your ID photo? And change your name?" asked the Alliance official at the Elf Center office, his eyes still wandering between Feng and his ID.

"Yes, this photo was taken when I was eight years old. I've changed so much now that I need to update it," Feng said. He then put on a sad and hopeless expression and told a story he had already made up. "...If Magikarp hadn't evolved at that time, I'm afraid I would have been buried in the sea. From now on, I plan to say goodbye to my past life, change my name, and start a new life."

As he spoke, Feng's eyes had changed from sadness to hope, and his tightly pursed lips showed his determination.

"So what are you going to be called?"

"Feng."

……

Half an hour later, Feng sat down in the lounge area of the lobby of the Alliance Center, waiting to receive a new alliance certificate.

The TV in the hall was originally broadcasting news from all over Hoenn and interviews with Hoenn celebrities, but suddenly the picture changed and an emergency notice replaced the previous program, which caught Feng's attention.

"I have an important announcement. A valuable item has gone missing from the Alliance Research Center in Liuli City. It appears to be a round, emerald green bead, and it's suspected to have been stolen by a Quasi-Elite-level Pokémon that can turn invisible. Junshas across the country are searching for it. Anyone with any information is requested to report it to the Alliance immediately."

Research Center, Emerald Green Bead, Important to the Alliance...

Could it be the grass-green orb that could summon Rayquaza? Who could have stolen it? A Pokémon that could turn invisible, a Dragonite, a ghost-type Pokémon, or something else? Feng shook his head. This was too far away for him, and it was beyond his ability to intervene.

Soon, the new identity certificate was processed and the name on it was changed to Qingmu Feng.

In addition, he also registered his Pokémon Gyarados. As for Shieldblade, Feng wanted to keep it as a trump card, so he naturally couldn't reveal it.

Feng's current Trainer Level is still Beginner, the same as the original owner, Aoki Kaede. Raising a Trainer Level requires not only a Pokémon of the corresponding level but also completing Alliance-designated quests. The higher the Trainer Level, the more benefits you receive at Alliance-designated locations like the Alliance Shop, Poké Center, and Alliance Gym.

The two most important functions of having a formal identity are:

The first one is that you can go to the Pokémon Center to heal a seriously injured Pokémon. Although you will be scolded by Miss Joy, it is worth it. If you don't have an official identity, you can't even see Miss Joy at the Pokémon Center. The only person you can see is Miss Junsha.

The second is to be able to go to the Alliance Breeding House, which is actually the largest Pokémon store. However, it only sells Pokémon eggs and young Pokémon and does not purchase Pokémon. Unlike the black market, it sells and buys anything.

The Alliance Breeding House also has a large number of Pokémon of various types. Families who can't afford the three starter Pokémon often choose relatively cheap Pokémon eggs here for their children's first Pokémon. After all, the Pokémon eggs of rodent and insect Pokémon, which produce a single litter, cost less than 10.

Feng has an attribute panel, so he can choose high-quality Pokémon to train. So after obtaining an official identity, he plans to see if there are any Pokémon with champion-level qualifications.

The Alliance Cultivation House in Kanaz City, located in the northern suburbs, occupies a large area. It houses not only numerous Pokémon eggs but also numerous young Pokémon. Each Pokémon is assigned a suitable habitat, including forests, rivers, volcanoes, and snowy landscapes.

Looking at the luxurious breeding house, Feng couldn't help but think of the alliance breeding base which was many times larger than this one. He finally understood why the elf props were so expensive.

Doesn’t this also count as taking from the people and giving back to the people?

Walking into the Alliance Cultivation House and into the reception hall, Feng saw several parents with their children. The children were clamoring for the Pokémon they wanted.

"I want iron dumbbells, preferably cool and shiny ones like Daigo's!" a boy said excitedly.

"I still like Sirona's Biting Land Shark. I want a Round Land Shark." Another boy said, his eyes full of light.

"I think both Pikachu and Eevee are cute. Which one should I choose?" a girl asked in confusion.

"I really want a Pikachu, but I'm afraid it will electrocute me." Another girl wearing a Pikachu hairpin said hesitantly.

Several parents on the side had bitter smiles on their faces and looked at their children with complicated expressions, as if they were thinking about how to trick them into changing Pokémon, but they didn't want to shatter their children's dreams.

The parents also look very young, less than 30 years old, but they already have children this big. This was unimaginable in the previous life, but it is very common in this world where the casualty rate of trainers is very high and the league encourages people to become trainers.

These are normal 12-year-old children, carefree, full of hope for the future, and unaware of the hardships and cruel reality of life.

After all, only a very small number of ordinary people will get a Pokémon with the qualifications of a king or even a champion like winning the lottery, and then they will have the capital to become the chosen ones of heaven. The rest... will be just like everyone else.

People like Feng who crawled out of the darkness have long lost this innocence, and all they have are sighs and fatigue.

But he always has a determination and ambition in his heart, and he will not be shaken no matter how hard or tiring it is, how dangerous or tempting it is.

If you don't take a good look at this world, how can you fulfill your dreams and wishes from your previous life?

If I don't roam freely in this world, how can I be worthy of these two lives?
