The next day, early in the morning, Qingwu set off from the research institute and headed for Oldale Town. Qingwu yawned as he walked.
Yesterday, Qingwu had been battling Qianli all night. Of course, it was a guidance battle, where Qianli guided Qingwu. Although Qingwu was a Trainer-level trainer in his previous life, his background was unconventional. This simply couldn't compare to Qianli, whose foundation was extremely solid.
Qianli's research into the Slaking family was indeed thorough. Even the normally inactive Slaking was like it had been injected with chicken blood. Qingwu's Turtwig was very easily knocked out by Slaking. Turtwig watched dejectedly as its shell showed a slight crack. Turtwig shed tears of shame; it couldn't believe it had been defeated by a Slaking.
Qingwu watched Turtwig take off its shell, and his meticulous care was also speechless. He truly lives up to his name as the man below the Four Elite Trainers. Just from Slaking alone,
Qingwu knew Qianli was incredibly skilled at concealing his power. Perhaps Qianli's main Pokémon were already Trainer-level, possessing Trainer-level strength even before becoming a Gym Leader. Thinking about it, it was terrifying.
Although Qianli was skilled at concealment, Qingwu, as a Trainer-level trainer in his previous life, still had some discerning vision. Qingwu saw a Trainer-level aura from Qianli,
a type of aura that only accumulates from frequent contact with Trainer-level Pokémon. Qingwu planned to directly send a message to Arceus after registering as a trainer, sending him some non-urgent messages.
Qingwu now had several identities: a Team Rocket special operations member, a researcher under the pen name "Xiaoxiao," and the owner of a breeding house. Qingwu wanted to gradually send news of the Tower of Burying to Arceus, so that Team Rocket, this force, could also participate in the battle for the Spear Pillar.
Qingwu wanted to fish in troubled waters in this battle, drawing the Alliance and the People of the Meteor into a third-party force: Team Rocket. Only by thoroughly muddying the waters could Qingwu leave behind a valuable chess piece in this battle.
As long as Shana didn't die, the hopes of the People of the Meteor wouldn't be shattered, and even the People of the Meteor, this major force, would become Qingwu's ally.
After all, Shana was the hope of the entire village and had received the protection of all the People of the Meteor. However, Shijianna was regarded as the Great Priestess, and she was also protected by Shijianna's grandmother, but she had not received the full recognition of the entire clan. Some clan members' dissatisfaction was largely related to Shijianna not being recognized by Rayquaza.
After all, how much Rayquaza, the dragon god revered by the People of the Meteor, liked Shijianna was evident. After Shana died, he didn't favor any other clan members.
The next Great Priestess not recognized by Rayquaza was destined to be a temporary Great Priestess. Later, Rayquaza only reluctantly recognized Shijianna because she had Shana's scent on her sound wave dragon body.
Early in the morning, the forest leading from Rustboro City to Oldale Town was quiet.
As the first ray of dawn pierced through the thin mist and shone on the four large characters of the Pokémon Center, Nurse Joy had already gotten up and started getting busy. Oldale Town welcomed a warm morning.
Everything in the small town was enveloped in the soft morning light. The fruit trees by the road hung their heads low, covered with dense fruit. The obedient Snorlax was sleeping soundly. The roadside grass was wet with the morning dew, a hint of faint green emanating from the dampness.
A black-haired young man walked into the Pokémon Center. The busy Nurse Joy immediately looked up. "Welcome. May I help you with anything?" Nurse Joy smiled warmly.
Nurse Joy revealed her standard smile, eight neat, large white teeth appearing exceptionally pristine under the Pokémon Center's daylight.
"Nurse Joy, I need to register for the Hoenn League Conference. Here's my household registration certificate and Professor Birch's recommendation letter." Qingwu carefully took out his household registration certificate and Professor Birch's recommendation letter from his backpack and handed them to Nurse Joy.
Nurse Joy was a crucial force of the Alliance, specifically responsible for the treatment of Pokémon and humans. The Joy family was proficient in various medical techniques, and almost every Nurse Joy was a top-tier surgeon. Every Nurse Joy was equipped with a Chansey,
which was equivalent to their lifelong Pokémon partner. When Nurse Joy was born, the family would equip her with a Chansey's Poké Ball, and Nurse Joy would grow up with Chansey. Chansey would become Nurse Joy's most intimate helper, assisting Nurse Joy in handling various trivial tasks.
However, the Joy family maintained neutrality, making many friends in both the Alliance and underground organizations. Ordinary people generally didn't dare to offend Nurse Joy, as everyone has times of birth, old age, sickness, and death. The Joy family supported half of the Alliance's power.
"Qingwu, resident of Petalburg Town. Your household registration and Professor Birch's recommendation letter, please take them. What Pokémon do you have? I'll help you register them," Nurse Joy said, returning the documents to Qingwu.
Qingwu registered the Pokémon on his person: Swablu, Turtwig, Snorlax, and Lairon, with Nurse Joy.
After Nurse Joy performed a series of operations on the computer, she said to Qingwu.
"Qingwu, your original Pokémon in the Alliance system were Lairon and Turtwig, but now your two Pokémon have evolved. I've updated your Pokémon's information for you."
"Also, where do you choose to have your Pokémon transferred to? Do you choose Professor Birch's place, or do you choose to foster them at the breeding house?" Nurse Joy asked.
Pokémon captured by trainers must have proper fostering channels to prevent them from not being cared for. Generally, trainers would choose to pay a fee and foster them with a familiar Pokémon Professor.
This way, the Pokémon Professor could not only research the Pokémon, but trainers also reduced the trouble of caring for them. However, there were also some trainers who were not at ease and would choose to foster them at a breeding house.
Qingwu's family breeding house had helped trainers foster Pokémon before, so he was quite familiar with this operation. "I choose to foster them at the breeding house. This is the breeding house's fostering address.
The breeding house has a Pokémon transfer machine," Qingwu said, taking out proof of authorization from his family's breeding house. It stated that Qingwu agreed to foster his Pokémon at Qingwu's breeding house, and also had the Pokémon transfer machine's serial number.
The Pokémon transfer machine's serial number was like an IP address on a network. After registration, the Pokémon captured by trainers would be transferred to this IP address. The Pokémon transfer machine was an extremely important key technology for the Alliance.
Among them, some unscrupulous individuals wanted to invade the Alliance's network, steal the Pokémon transfer machine's serial numbers, and thereby hijack Pokémon. However, until now, no news of successful attempts had been heard. The Pokémon transfer system was relatively safe.
"Okay, please wait a moment." Nurse Joy entered Qingwu's information into the computer, then clicked "bind."
"Qingwu, this is your Alliance Pokedex. It contains your identity information, and at the same time, it has an advanced positioning device. Once you encounter danger, you can press the emergency button on the Pokedex." Nurse Joy said, pointing to the red button below.
"The Alliance search team will then set off to rescue you, but you will need to pay an additional fee for the rescue," Nurse Joy explained. After all, there were official routes between each city, and forest rangers patrolled them, making them very safe.
Every year, there were trainers who ignored warnings, strayed into remote areas, attracted the pursuit of wild Pokémon, and consumed a large amount of Alliance resources. Therefore, the Alliance stipulated that if there was an emergency rescue, they would charge a fee.
"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Nurse Joy," Qingwu said, turning and leaving after conducting his business.
Qingwu stood at the entrance of the Pokémon Center. Now, he had two paths he could choose to return to the breeding house.
One path was to return the way he came, which meant once again using his water bicycle to cross the lake to the vicinity of Mauville City, and then directly back to the outskirts of Verdanturf Town via the cross-sea bridge.
Qingwu looked at the distant lake. A light mist rose above the lake, and the forest beside the lake was covered in a soft, milky white. The hazy fog made everything appear indistinct and dreamlike.
Now, with the heavy fog rising from the lake, returning the original way carried a certain danger. After all, if he were to be attacked by a Wingull in the fog, it would be very difficult to detect. Qingwu was not in a hurry to return to the breeding house now.
So Qingwu chose another path: crossing Petalburg Forest from Petalburg City to Rustboro City, then passing through the tunnel to Verdanturf Town. From Verdanturf Town, after a few more steps, he would reach the breeding house.
