POKEMON : STARTING WITH FLASH METAGROSS

Getting up and starting with cooking, Rax felt a little happy, whether he admitted it or not.

After washing up, Rax made a list of supplies that needed to be replenished before going out to the mall.

In order to keep a low profile, Rax didn't even let Marowak out and walked around slowly alone.

Before he even reached the mall, Rax had seen seven or eight promotional videos of Sunyshore City, which were being played on TVs in different stores.

The promotional videos varied, but the main character was the same person: Gym Leader Munch.

In the video, Munch is wearing a cape and has a strong build. His brown face is full of righteousness, and his eyes are firm.

The plots of the promotional videos vary, but the core is that the Gym Leader Munch has saved Sunyshore City from fire and water many times.

Resisting beast tides, foreseeing natural disasters, capturing criminals, rescuing lost girls...

It feels like Gym Leader Munch is omnipotent and is the hero of this city!

But after watching it, Rax only felt that the makeup was done well!

Arriving at the store, Rax began to purchase supplies.

But soon, he frowned.

"This primary Fire Energy Cube is actually more expensive than the Intermediate Ground Energy Cube!"

After a brief stroll around, Rax found that, except for the Ground-type materials in the mall, which were cheaper than the normal market price, all other materials were ridiculously expensive.

If Sunyshore City had always been like this, without the heroic Gym Leader Munch, the local residents would have only been able to cultivate Ground-type Pokémon.

Rax was thoughtful, always feeling that there was a big hand behind this city controlling everything!

Could it be Gym Leader Munch?

Rax wasn't sure, but at least Munch was one of the winners.

After picking out some necessary supplies, Rax quickly left the mall and walked to Sunyshore Gym.

Rax was unwilling to stay in this city for a long time unless necessary.

After getting the badge, he planned to leave quickly.

Half an hour later, at the entrance of Sunyshore Gym.

"Trainer, has your Pokémon reached the senior level? Can you let it out for a look?"

The person who received Rax was a beautiful young lady who spoke softly and had big eyes. The Nidoqueen beside her was also poisonous.

"Well, this is my Pokémon."

Rax looked calm and released Marowak.

The next moment, the young lady suddenly squatted down and looked at Marowak with bright eyes, and then...

She raised and lowered her hands, touching it.

"This skull… this bone club… this tail… these eyes!

Ah~~~ This Marowak must have been cultivated so well!"

Rax silently took two steps back, ignoring Marowak's look for help.

It took five minutes for the woman, who had fallen into madness, to regain her consciousness.

"To have such an excellent Marowak, you must be a very good trainer!

Come on, join our Sunyshore Gym, you will receive personal guidance and selfless training from the wise and powerful Gym Leader Munch!

Becoming the king of Ground-type Pokémon is just a matter of time!

Your Marowak has this talent!"

Rax tried his best to keep his eyes wide open and his face flushed. If he hadn't checked the information in advance, he...

It's definitely impossible to believe it!

"But if I can't even participate in the league competition, how can I be worthy of becoming the disciple of the wise and powerful Gym Leader Munch? I... don't deserve it!"

Rax shouted excitedly, and Marowak silently took three steps back.

Suddenly, the young lady covered her mouth, with tears in her eyes, and looked at Rax with a moved face.

"If you have this intention, Gym Leader Munch will definitely be very moved.

This is the badge of Sunyshore Gym. Take it, and after you finish participating in the league competition, you must come back and become one of us!"

Rax took the badge, held it tightly in his hand, and nodded heavily.

"Wait for me!"

"Wait for you!"

Then, Rax dragged the confused Marowak and strode away with an extremely firm pace!

At the door of the gym, the young lady was still waving, feeling that she had found another big help for the gym.

And when Rax turned to another road...

"Vomit!"

After a while of retching, Rax patted his still pale face.

"This play is so challenging!"

But Marowak, next to him, kept her eyes fixed on Rax's hand.

"Ga~"

Marowak pointed to the Suny Gym badge.

"This, it should be true."

Rax observed it carefully and couldn't help but laugh.

Getting the badge of the Sunyshore Gym was both difficult and easy.

As long as Rax just sent out a senior Ground-type Pokémon and agreed to join the Sunyshore Gym, he could directly obtain the gym badge without even having to fight a battle.

It was also convenient to leave—just indicate that he wanted to participate in the league competition, and then come back afterward.

Even Rax didn't agree directly; he just vaguely said "wait for me," but because he was "sincere" enough, he easily got the badge.

However, Marowak was excessively handled for five minutes, and her soul was quite traumatized.

Other than that, this badge felt like child's play!

"I hope this gym won't be banned this year, otherwise the show will be in vain."

Rax thought silently, then returned Marowak to her Poké Ball and went back to the hotel in a low-key manner.

He decided to leave early tomorrow morning.

Before that, Rax didn't even want to rent a mimic training room to avoid causing complications.

With nothing else to do, Rax took stock for a while and decided to hand in the report on getting the badge first.

Turning on the computer and logging onto the platform, Rax looked at the latest information and subconsciously searched for basic information about Sunyshore City.

Hmm? Searching yielded no results?

Rax confirmed that he hadn't made a typo.

Pressing Enter again...

No basic intelligence!

Even a small town like Eterna City had the Rocket Team moving in, how could the medium-sized city of Sunyshore City not have a base?

Could it be that the base was removed recently?

Rax frowned, opened Jill's chat box, and left a message for him to investigate in the branch.

Jill was online and said he would check immediately.

Half an hour later, Rax's communicator began to vibrate.

Looking at the caller's avatar, Rax's doubts deepened.

"Hello, managi?"

"It's me, is it convenient to talk?"

Rax looked at the room he had already checked.

"You can speak."

"It has been confirmed that the Sunyshore City base has defected from the organization and resold internal intelligence. The branch has launched a high reward and requires the capture of all defectors. If you are in Sunyshore City, it is recommended that you take this task."

Rax was silent. Sunyshore couldn't have been unaware that he didn't have the quota to take on such tasks.

So, what is the point of this task?

"I'd like to hear more!"

On the other end of the phone, Managi smiled with satisfaction. She liked dealing with smart people.

"Sunyshore City is very important to the organization's development layout in the Sinnoh region. The stationed personnel defected because they were deceived by the enemy when they were performing their missions.

Therefore, capturing the defected personnel and rebuilding the Sunyshore City station is one of the most important tasks of the branch now.

Well done, generous rewards!"

"I'm just a mobile intelligence officer. I definitely can't take the lead. Is the commander-in-chief this time someone from your side?"

"The commander-in-chief is Dr. Seg."

Managi didn't say it clearly, but she didn't deny it either. When Rax heard the name Seg, he knew in his heart.

"Okay, I'll participate!"
