บท 529: Chapter 529 Sinnoh Alliance Headquarters (2 in 1)
...
Sinnoh Alliance Headquarters.
This was the first time Natsu had come to the Alliance headquarters, the most important place for a Region.
Inside the Alliance headquarters building, the dome is high and wide, the arch is continuous, the murals around it are connected, there are no gaps, especially blue and gold, so that people who walk inside, subconsciously feel a solemn atmosphere.
If Natsu has been to Alliance headquarters in other Regions, you will find that the Sinnoh Alliance headquarters building is relatively retro and has a classic church feel.
If you really want to say, the Sinnoh Region is probably also the region with the longest history in the entire Pokémon world.
And Sinnoh is clearly proud of its long history.
The murals in the hall are engraved with images of the historical legend Sinnoh, and even the murals that Natsu saw, three dragons fighting and finally Arceus coming out to quell the war, and there's also Regigigas who united the continents to finally save the world's murals.
Natsu, who came here for the first time, was really surprised.
Shirona next to him seemed much calmer, and she had gotten used to the scene in front of her.
If nothing else, some of the frescoes in the temple left in Celestic Town are more realistic than this replica.
The two of them, led by the Alliance worker, walked past the people who came, and headed towards several areas of the headquarters that clearly looked like warehouses.
Compared to the classic solemnity on the outside, it is much more modern on the back.
After a lot of door control, the two came to a warehouse deep within the base.
According to the tournament rewards, they can enter this warehouse and choose items at will.
Provided, of course, that the value limit is not exceeded.
"You two, I'll be waiting for you outside."
After the worker swiped his card to open the door, he respectfully said to Shirona and Natsu.
These two people were now the treasures of the Sinnoh Alliance, and they were considered future existences. Even if there wasn't a position in the Alliance headquarters right now, it wasn't something a small member of the workforce could hurt.
Without realizing it, Natsu's status had reached a point that could be compared to Shirona's.
"Shall we go in and vote?" Natsu was a little surprised.
According to his previous experience, didn't they all pick the item and then the workers help get it out.
Hearing this, the workers smiled the same.
"Yeah, because some things have to be close and personal to determine if something is right for you, whether it's Items or materials or Pokemon eggs."
"Let's go." Shirona said, and stepped inside.
Natsu entered as well, muttering under his breath "Isn't that what you would do without knowing it?"
Shirona heard it muttering.
Smile.
Pointing to the camera on the wall, "This is a special surveillance, each item is marked with a special mark, and no one can take it out unconsciously."
"Yes, what?" Natsu seemed to be nodding.
No wonder it's so free.
As expected of the Alliance.
But looking at the endless shelves in sight, Natsu only felt a pain in his head.
What if you go through them one by one to get Monkey, Pig and Fish?
The point is, the more you look at it, the more you want this one and the other.
It's easy to go down the road of evil.
"Natsu, what do you want? I'll tell you where." Shirona seemed to see Natsu's dilemma.
"You know this place well?" Natsu was a little surprised.
"I don't know much, but I've been here a few times and know where some stuff is roughly on the shelves. "
Natsu gave a thumbs up.
As expected of Shirona.
Firm and considerate.
What do you want?
He really didn't know that.
Want Pokemon?
This is also a good choice.
But now, Chimchar had just joined, even he wasn't well trained because of the tournament.
Dragon-Type Pokémon eggs don't seem to take too long before they hatch, and once they hatch, it's another new Pokémon to train with.
Add the fossilized Pokémon Volcarona egg, and if all goes well, another Pokémon egg.
There are even Dreepy fossils.
Getting other Pokemon eggs is a bit difficult.
But if you really can't pick something good, it can be used as an alternative.
Choose materials?
Or select Items?
What rare materials and items are needed to get a share of the prizes of this tournament.
Not to mention cheat codes.
So.
"Materials or Items, I want to see materials or Items related to Dragon-Type Pokémon." said Natsu.
Materials related to Dragon-Type Pokémon are only possible if you don't want to waste your share.
After all, Dragon Type Pokemon items were the most valuable.
And, he also started preparing something for the Dragon-Type Pokémon that were about to hatch.
"Mmm" Shirona thought about it.
"For Dragon-Type Pokémon, turn left at the end here, the third shelf starts, it should be there."
"Okay."
After hesitating, Natsu went straight to the shelf that Shirona said.
And Shirona, remained standing on the spot in deep thought.
What should I choose?
Came to the shelf according to Shirona.
In individually separated glass vessels, valuable materials are placed.
And on the glass of each vessel, there are some brief descriptions of the materials or Items inside.
Among the many, the most common are the items that drop from the mighty Dragon-Type Pokémon.
For example, Natsu sees "Dragon Scale" for the first time, and the description above says "From Garchomp Elite, it falls by itself in old age."
Also Something like "Dragon Fang", "Dragon Claw" or something.
Even though the value was very high, and the items were also good, but Natsu always found it a little less attractive.
Now.
Natsu finally understood how difficult Shirona was in choosing.
There are so many good things in front of you, but you can only choose one. Is it easy for everyone to choose?
moreover how Shirona It seems that this is not the first time, maybe even two or three times.
"Bartya-"
However, just as Natsu was struggling, a voice that had not appeared for a long time sounded in his ears.
Dragapult!
Psychic expands slowly, connected with Dragapult's telepathy.
"Dragapult, how do you feel?"
"Right, second row from top to bottom, third."
Dragapult full of ethereal voices rang out.
Natsu narrowed his eyes.
Something that attracted Dragapult.
Coming to that shelf right away.
See you later.
In the transparent glass vessel, there is a piece of blue ice crystal, the size of a palm, with a faint halo flowing over it, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a simple thing.
"This is."
Natsu's eyes narrowed at this.
"Dragon Crystal." Dragapult's voice echoed in his mind again.
Natsu had seen dragon crystals before in a Regigigas's different spacr, but the dragon crystal seen earlier was dark purple and almost black, but the one in front of him was turquoise, perhaps many people thought it was Grass-Type energy crystallization.
"Extremely pure dragon crystal, even purer than the last one." Dragapult emphasized again, afraid that Natsu would not know its value.
Although he don't know why this dragon crystal is a turquoise blue, the energy it contains makes even Dragapult a little jealous.
"Not." Natsu shook his head.
It wasn't this dragon crystal that made him lose control of himself.
Although he also knew that this dragon crystal was precious, he even vaguely guessed the origin of this dragon crystal.
But what caught his attention the most right now was something on the inside of the dragon crystal that glowed blue. Transparent light flowed, and something was faintly visible within it.
Mega Evolution Stone!
"So fast?"
Natsu looked surprised at Shirona, who had chosen something and was waiting for him at the door.
What about the difficulty in choosing?
What about doubts?
It's all a lie?
Natsu was on his way back with his things now, and he was still thinking about how he could help Shirona with her plans, and see what would suit her better.
Moreover.
Shirona's lineup of Pokemon isn't quite complete either.
Shirona also lost an important Pokemon, a Pokemon worthy of her.
As an example.
Milotic.
In the end, Shirona's choice this time was very quick, which made Natsu a little surprised.
"En." Shirona answered softly without saying anything else.
The two handed the items over to the workers, who removed the special marks left on them before they could be taken out of the warehouse.
Profit.
Natsu and Shirona have chosen things that do not exceed the division of values determined by the tournament.
Natsu thought that the Alliance was being generous this time.
Only now.
No wonder only one choice is allowed.
It is not always necessary for the things of value, and the things that are needed are not necessarily of the same value, and only an exchange can be made.
Quick.
Both managed to get what they chose.
Until here
The "Lily of the Valley youth tournament" was really over for them.
Although there is a slight difference between the selected item and the expected value, there is a Mega Evolution stone attached, which is an unexpected harvest.
After going back and forth, Natsu was still making money.
They were brought back to the lobby by the workers again.
"That... I also have to meet Bertha Elite," said Natsu.
"En.. I'll be waiting for you."
Shirona also knew that Natsu would do something about Gym, and just said something softly.
"Okay."
Natsu didn't refuse either.
After all, it was a bit boring to come back alone.
Besides, Shirona asked him to stop by Celestic Town again.
Mysterious and secretive, he didn't know what Shirona wanted to do.
Led once again by the long-awaited worker, Natsu headed to the Elite Four's office area.
Shirona carried her things and watched Natsu's back, which became another beautiful sight in the lobby of the Alliance headquarters.
Tuk Tuk-
The door knocked softly.
"Wait." Bertha's slightly confused voice came from inside.
Then there were some rustling sounds.
It took a while before Bertha's voice was heard again.
"Enter."
Push the door open.
The Elite Four's office was on the top floor of the Alliance headquarters building.
So the first thing you see when you push the door in is a large floor-to-ceiling panoramic window, from which you can see the entire area where the Alliance headquarters are, including the streets and facilities outside the base.
Then there was Bertha sitting behind the counter, and the forgotten ball of wool on the table.
Bertha reacted as Natsu stared.
"cough"
She coughed lightly, and quietly put away the thread.
It seems that life is quite comfortable, and the dignified Elite Four can spend time knitting wool.
But Bertha's penchant for scarves is no secret in the eyes of some Alliance executives.
The scarf she wore around her neck was all knitted by herself.
It can only be said that the workmanship is good.
It's just that Bertha doesn't want to show her soft side in front of Natsu who will be her subordinate.
After all, as the Elite Four overseeing Gym Leaders large and small throughout the Sinnoh Region, Bertha even had veto power over several Gym Leaders. Once she thinks the Gym Leader doesn't meet the Alliance's standards, she will be expelled from the Sinnoh Alliance Gym Leader.
From time to time, some Gyms will be randomly selected for Gym Leader assessment, and those that do not meet the standards will also be eliminated.
It can be said that the power in Bertha's hands is enormous, and it holds the fate of the Sinnoh Region's large and small Gym Leaders.
Therefore, if once in a while you can see silhouettes wearing thick scarves traveling through Gyms in various cities in the Sinnoh Region. Although it had been disguised to some extent, there was no doubt that it was the Elite Four Bertha.
One of her favorite things is hiding her identity and going to various gyms to do secret investigations.
Even though she was recognized at times, she liked it.
Thought that only a secret visit could see some sides of the real Gym.
Natsu who will get the Gym Leader status, is indeed his subordinate.
"Bertha Elite," Natsu called respectfully.
He didn't underestimate Bertha because of her special hobby.
How could it be so easy for someone who could use her own strength to defeat an old Elite that she had to give up his Ground-Type Attribute?
Besides, who doesn't have a little fetish?
The cheap teacher Agatha likes to scare people everywhere.
One's heart is not old.
bang!
Bertha also quickly entered the destination and took out a thick booklet from the drawer.
"This is the Sinnoh Gym Leader Code. You should go back and read it carefully. Maybe next time I'll come back and check it out."
Looking at the thick booklet of at least one or two hundred pages on the table, Natsu's right eyelid twitched wildly.
"So thick?"
This thing, are you sure that's the code?
Bertha looked at him in surprise.
"This is a catalog. It involves dozens of sections big and small like "Gym Building Code Requirements", "Gym Leader Code", "Trainer Rating Standards", etc.
Natsu: "."
Are you sure there is a Gym Leader in Sinnoh who can read this?
After reading it, it's too early to sink into the ground, right?
It's a miracle that Sinnoh still has a Gym Leader.
"You can ignore it, if you can get the top three in every Gym Leader test." Bertha didn't care.
Bertha really didn't make it easy.
Don't let him think he can act on purpose in Sinnoh with Agatha in tow.
The water in Sinnoh is very deep, and you newcomers can't help it.
Sinnoh with a long history, how could there not be a few families with a long history too?
Some of them even influenced some of the Sinnoh Alliance's decisions to some extent.
This can also be considered to protect Natsu in reverse.
After all, Natsu was a treasure in the eyes of the Sinnoh Alliance now, but his foundation was too shallow, which was different from Shirona's, so some warnings had to be given first.
Natsu relaxed a little after hearing that the top three spots in the Gym Leaders' ratings were negligible.
After sixteen years of compulsory education, his quality has reached the ceiling. He didn't come here to study.
"By the way, have you chosen that place yet? If not, I have a list of options here. "
"Yes, Solaceon Town." Natsu straight away.
"Solaceon Town" Bertha frowned slightly.
