"Kurilo City"

"Kiriya City"

"A beautiful harbor at sunset"

A brief introductory text appears, then quietly disappears.

The setting sun gilded the port city, and apart from the iconic Fallen Leaf Dojo building, the most eye-catching sight was the giant luxury cruise ship, St. Anne, docked at the pier.

The two walked along the main road toward the port, but unexpectedly caught sight of Little Green fishing on the beach at the corner.

Even through the screen, Bai Zhou and Chi Hong could feel the low pressure that was almost tangible.

There's no air force either...

The fish baskets next to it are almost bursting, aren't they?

Bai Zhou muttered to himself, then controlled Xiao Bai to take a closer look, and instantly understood.

Magikarp, that's alright then.

A rough estimate suggests that at least twenty greenfish have already been caught here.

No wonder he's been silent all this time.

This time, Crimson learned her lesson and quietly stood aside, trying to minimize her presence.

Bai Zhou glanced at the tattered fishing rod in Xiao Lü's hand, pondered for a moment, and then controlled Xiao Bai to step forward and initiate a trade.

"Xiaobai requested a transaction offer from Xiaolv."

"Awesome fishing rod for sale: ¥10000"

"Xiao Lü agreed to the offer, paid 10000 yuan, and got the awesome fishing rod."

The transaction took place in silence, and ended in silence.

Little Green promptly switched to a new fishing rod.

Xiao Bai returned to Xiao Chi's side, preparing to continue their journey to the port.

Bai Zhou took the opportunity to glance at the comments section.

"Green: Silence is the Harbor of Fallen Leaves tonight."

"It has to be the Azure Legendary! Look at Ichigo's glowing Magikarp! So lively and energetic! It must have top-tier stats!"

"Just laugh when you want to laugh, don't beat around the bush."

"There's a trading system? Seriously, he actually bought a fishing rod that sold for 1 Green Legendary. It's too easy to make money off fishermen."

"A fancy fishing rod? What's the difference between that and a cheap, old fishing rod that costs 500 yuan in the store?"

"The trading system allows you to trade not only with friends, but also with specific NPCs."

Bai Zhou explained in a timely manner:

"Some special collectibles can be sold to specific NPCs for a higher price than they can be bought back from the store, and sometimes there are even extra surprises."

He paused, then added:

"As for the difference in fishing rods... the better the fishing rod, the higher the probability of catching rare Pokémon. You might even be able to catch a Dratini that is only found in specific fishing spots in ordinary waters."

Amidst a barrage of comments like "Sold at a loss!" and "Huge loss!", Xiaobai and Xiaochi arrived at the port and began searching for the boarding gate of the Saint Anne.

Suddenly, a gentlemanly old man in a sharp suit rushed over and, without saying a word, grabbed Xiaobai and Xiaochi by the arms and dragged them into an inconspicuous harbor hut next door.

The room was bustling with activity, as all sorts of people and Pokémon were having a great time interacting.

At this point, the gentlemanly old man finally let go, his face beaming with a warm smile.

"Gentleman Old Man: Welcome to my Pokémon Fan Club!"

"Gentlemanly old man: I breed over 100 Pokémon! Once I start talking about them, I can't stop! Really!"

"Gentleman Old Man: So... you're here to hear me share Pokémon stories?"

"Ah, it's the uncle from the hobby club."

The crimson voice was filled with nostalgia.

"Hehe, I remember I was an honorary member here."

The dialogue is ongoing.

"Gentleman Old Man: My favorite Pokémon is Rapidash... When I hold it... while sleeping... I feel warm... comforted... and captivated..."

"Gentleman Old Man: My second favorite Pokémon is Abra... but it went missing a month ago... and everyone in the Pokémon club is experiencing the same thing... I miss it so much..."

"Gentlemanly old man: Oh! Look at the time! I've kept you waiting too long! Thank you for listening to me!"

The gentleman suddenly turned to the bookshelf beside him.

"Gentlemanly Old Man: Vice President! Come and greet our new friend!"

In front of the bookshelf, a refined-looking figure in a white coat turned around upon hearing the sound and approached with a smile.

"Handsome Researcher: Long time no see, kids! Have you joined the Pokémon Club yet? Here, take these things; you'll find them useful."

"Whitey and Redy received bicycle vouchers and Pokémon flutes from the handsome researcher!"

"Whitey and Red put the bicycle voucher and Pokémon flute into their important item pockets."

"Handsome Researcher: The Pokémon Flute can awaken sleeping Pokémon, and this voucher... just between you and me, it's worth 100 million! Alright, continue your adventure!"

Without much small talk, he finished speaking and went back to the bookshelf to read.

"A bicycle voucher? Worth 100 million? Damn! This is from that shady shop in Cerulean City!"

"The Pokémon Flute can break a Pokémon's sleep? That's an incredibly powerful battle item!"

"Who exactly is this handsome researcher? He appears multiple times, and every time he does, he gives away something, even a 100 million exchange voucher just like that?"

"Sleeping with a fiery horse, doesn't it get too hot?"

As the comments scrolled by.

Xiao Bai and Xiao Chi have arrived at the open space outside the house.

Crimson was still staring at the vouchers in her backpack, hesitating whether to return to Hualan City, but White Boat had already controlled Little White to dial a number.

A moment later.

Rumbling--

The deafening roar of engines grew louder as it approached from the sky.

A futuristic-looking, expensive air transport plane hovered above their heads.

The cargo door opened vertically, and the rappelling ropes were lowered.

A figure descended rapidly and landed steadily—it was the bicycle shop owner from Hualan City!

He snapped his fingers casually, and two metal containers were slowly lowered and landed steadily.

laugh--

A pressure release sound was heard, and the cabinet door opened.

Two sleek, futuristic bicycles, gleaming with metallic luster in the setting sun, stood quietly before the crowd!

Bicycle shop owner: Hi! Your distinguished guests! Your top-of-the-line bicycle has been safely delivered! Let me briefly introduce its features!

"Bicycle shop owner: These two are top-of-the-line multi-functional high-tech bicycles! They can handle mountain climbing, ocean crossings, and more! Activate the turbo boost when needed to give you a head start!"

"Bicycle shop owner: The coolest thing is that after deploying the tail fin, you can achieve safe gliding through high-speed sprints and fully enjoy the beauty of the sky... Remember to give it a five-star review!"

After the bicycle shop owner finished speaking, he deftly grabbed the lifting rope.

The transport plane started up and quickly took off and left.

At this moment, Crimson stared blankly at the bicycle in front of him, which seemed to come from the future.

Bai Zhou steered Xiao Bai towards the pristine white bicycle and climbed onto it.

Countless white particles instantly surged out of the vehicle, spreading rapidly like living metal and covering Xiaobai's entire body!

In the blink of an eye, a super cycling protective suit, pure white with gold patterns and resembling a Kamen Rider, was put on!

It perfectly complements the futuristic aesthetics of bicycles, making it incredibly cool!

"Wow!!!"

A blood-red scream broke through the communication barrier.

He suddenly realized what was happening and immediately manipulated Little Red to imitate him, getting on another bicycle.

The orange-red particles also covered the entire body, but the resulting protective suits were completely different in style.

The distinctive fire-breathing dragon element leaps off the surface, with clear dragon scale textures, and even a dynamic light effect on the tail!

The barrage of comments exploded instantly.

"Particle-covered transformation!!! Holy crap, that's so incredibly cool!!!"

"Mountain climbing? Ocean crossing? Paragliding? And it even has transformation effects? You call this a bicycle?"

"Delivering a bicycle using an airlift plane??? A million-dollar delivery is certainly different! So extravagant!"

"Sorry boss! I was too loud before! This million-dollar expenditure... seems... totally worth it!!!"

"Teacher Salty's white outfit is so cool! What Pokémon did he reference? The Charizard armor from Red Legend is awesome too!"
