(1240, first order please!)

The Salo-Biyi Nature Reserve is located in the southeast of Salo City and in the northwest mountains of the Carlos region.

The mountains block the connection between the seaside city of Salo and most other places. There are only two roads and some almost unrecorded mountain trails available for passage.

Around Route 12, the traces of human society are still quite obvious, with several large and small towns built in it.

Once you are far away from the main road in this area, most of the areas are actually in their original natural form. There has not been much man-made development, but this is a combination of multiple areas that are not bordering each other.

of large nature reserves, but despite this, there are still many real natural areas left.

In this nature reserve, there are a large number of wild Pokémon. They grow and reproduce naturally here. They have not been deprived of their living space by the development of industrial society. Instead, under the vigorous protection of the rangers, they are protected from harm.

Live in harmony with humans despite the intrusion of Pokémon hunters and other criminals.

Years of peaceful life have made most of the Pokémon here tend to be gentle in character. Only a few still maintain their original wildness, especially their aggressiveness.

The area where Salo Academy will carry out outdoor study tours and practical assessments for the graduating class is Area A of this nature reserve. It is relatively close to human settlements. The Pokémon are weaker and have better temperaments, and will not be aggressive to newcomers.

Trainers are in too great danger.

Choosing to study here is also the tradition of the senior classes of Salo College for many years.

There are even many good graduates who, after their study tour experience, choose to continue their studies until they become a qualified ranger.

In the current nature reserve alone, there are dozens of rangers who have studied at Salo College, and a considerable number of them will protect their alumni in the future.

Such a relationship of coexistence and mutual promotion is one of the important cornerstones for both parties to maintain years of cooperation and positive interaction.

------------------

The long and narrow team moved forward in the mountains.

The bus transporting the students stopped at the end of the mountain road.

To reach Area A of the reserve, you still need to hike a considerable distance.

The students who were in good physical condition quickly walked to the front, looking left and right on the mountain trails, admiring the rare natural scenery in the city.

The style of the reserve is to maintain the original appearance of the environment to the greatest extent, and patrol it without affecting the habitat of wild Pokémon.

Therefore, except for some man-made roads, almost everything here is natural and authentic, allowing students to feast their eyes.

However, this is only limited to students with good physical strength.

Those with weak physical strength naturally lag behind. It is difficult for them to even keep up with the team, let alone have the leisure time to enjoy the scenery.

Unfortunately, our Miss Ina is undoubtedly the latter.

Moreover, what is even more frightening is that she is one of the small group of people with the weakest physical strength, and she also carries possibly the heaviest luggage.

"An~tuo~wan~" Miss Ina, who was out of breath, drawled and called to her boyfriend who was beside her, "I can't walk! Use it as a crutch for me!"

Bai Shengsheng's little hand stretched out and grabbed Antoine's arm.

"Filio and Abe have already gone to the front. We can't keep falling behind. How about I carry you on my back? Catching up with them will make it less boring."

Antoine scratched his head, then looked at the embarrassed classmates around him, and suddenly an idea came to him.

"What are you thinking? So many people are watching...ah!"

Ina rolled her eyes at her boyfriend and said angrily, but as soon as she was halfway through her words, Antoine, who was very powerful, was already carrying her on her back.

After a while of slapping, she saw that he had no intention of letting go. Ina blushed slightly and looked around.

Then she saw the envious looks of several little sisters who played together on weekdays.

A feeling of secret joy came to my heart.

"Go quickly! Chase them!"

In contrast, Miss Ina, who was in a better mood, was like riding a tall horse, rushing towards the front of the team.

Along the way, the teachers responsible for maintaining order and ensuring safety could only smile slightly and pretend they didn't see it.

......

......

"Filio, what is this herb?"

"Ask Abe, he is an expert in this field and he understands everything."

In the middle and front section of the team, Filio led Dream Demon and Eevee, walking slowly.

The fresh air in the mountains made him and his friends happy.

After entering the actual inner area of ​​the reserve, many wild rare herbs and tree fruits began to gradually appear, some of which were very different from the pictures in the textbooks.

As a result, many students came to Filio and started asking questions.

It is precisely because of this that there is an infinite loop in the above dialogue.

Knowing that Abe was in high spirits at the moment, he not only wanted to save himself some trouble, but also planned to give Abe a chance to express himself.

......

......

Antoine, an expert from a grass-type gym, is currently carrying his girlfriend on his back and chatting with Filio.

Philio, the chief student of the Humanoid Encyclopedia, adheres to the principle of "asking Abe when you are in doubt" and takes it easy.

As a result, a large number of classmates gradually gathered around Abe, who was at the front of the team. They wanted to ask something when they saw this, and they wanted to mention that when they saw that. It was very lively.

However, these problems are not a problem for Abe, who often visits the mountains and rivers in search of good trees and fruits during holidays.

He was in a good mood and answered all the students' questions. From time to time, he would also tell a few short stories related to medicinal materials and fruits, or about himself, or some fragments from history and legends.

It was fascinating and made everyone exclaim.

The classmates discovered that this top student, who was always overshadowed by Philio and was not as outgoing as Antoine, turned out to have a very shining side beneath his humble and restrained appearance. When he was really interested in

His field attainments can also be described as profound.

Teacher Thornton took the lead and walked at the front of the team. Although he was far away, he could still hear the questions and answers and discussions clearly.

He nodded with satisfaction, then looked at the many students at the back of the team who were already a little overwhelmed, and slowed down the pace slightly so that everyone could take a breath.

Teacher Hei Tiezhu is not unreasonable. On the contrary, he is quite reasonable and reasonable.

------------------

The station in area A of the reserve is built in a small valley.

The layout is not complicated, just like a large-scale ordinary camp.

For safety reasons, the buildings here do not use wooden structures, but choose lightweight materials that are safe and environmentally friendly.

Under the cover of organic paint, the building is in harmony with the environment. There are few traces of urban civilization and it is integrated with the natural space. Even if you go outside and don't look carefully, you may even miss it.

In front of the only two slightly taller buildings, the students took a short break and lined up neatly in class units, waiting for Thornton and the reserve staff to speak. Other teachers also worked in pairs to follow.

Behind the lines of each class.

It is said to be higher, but in fact it is only four floors. It is built against the mountain. Many rooms are even within the mountain. It looks like the dormitories of the rangers.

Not long after, Thornton walked out with several capable rangers, stood on the temporary platform, and began to read out the specific rules and relevant requirements for the study tour and assessment.

Neither Thornton nor the ranger has the kind of procrastination. It didn’t take long before all aspects of the matter were explained clearly without wasting anyone’s time.

The rules are generally divided into several categories:

First, the time and space scope of the study tour and assessment. The assessment starts at 14:00 on April 18 and ends at 17:00 on April 27. During this period, all students are not allowed to leave the 50 kilometers surrounding the station (that is, close to area A)

boundary), you can return to the base to live at night, or you can camp on your own in the wild. Most areas of the reserve belong to safe areas, and the risk of camping is very low. In non-safe areas, camping and staying in place for a long time are prohibited.

Second, the practical form of study tour and assessment. During the whole process, because Salo College has signed relevant agreements with the protected area, as long as students do not actively damage the natural environment, they can study in "no more than one-half of the total amount"

On the basis of ", you can obtain natural resources such as fruits and medicinal materials in the wild, and you can also tame wild Pokémon. All the above will be converted into assessment results in the form of points.

Third, the organizational form of study tours and assessments. According to the requirements of Salo College, students can explore alone or in groups. The number of people in a group exploration must not exceed 6 people, but temporary cooperation is allowed during field exploration.

The locator you carry will record the entire process.

Fourth, the safety of study tours and assessments. During the entire process, all students must ensure that they wear locators officially provided by the reserve 24 hours a day. All locators have been signal-strengthened. Press the emergency button to sound an alarm, and the ranger

Teachers and teachers will go to the rescue immediately, and the surrounding students will also feel it. When it is more than 45 kilometers away from the station, the locator will sound a warning, and when it is more than 50 kilometers away, it will sound the alarm on its own.

The fifth and most important point is the code of conduct requirements. You must not intentionally harm wild Pokémon, you must not actively damage natural resources and the ecological environment, and you must not attack students participating in assessments. Violations of the above content will be severely punished depending on the severity of the situation.

Punishment.

When talking about safety and behavioral norms, Thornton emphasized his tone.

He also knows that students have always been a little disdainful of these things, and if they are not emphasized, trouble may arise.

Sometimes even if you emphasize it repeatedly, you may cause some trouble.

However, at least at this time, in front of the black iron pillar-like Thornton, the vast majority of students were as honest as little quails, nodding their heads repeatedly.

After Thornton's rules were read out, the person in charge of Area A, an alumnus of Salo College many years ago, stepped forward to explain to the students how to use the locator, and arranged for the surrounding rangers to help each student.

Distributed maps of surrounding areas and descriptions of surrounding information.

The thick manual is full of various matters summarized by the protected area over the years.

From the distribution of Pokémon populations, the situation of dangerous Pokémon, information about overlord Pokémon, to the growth conditions and illustrations of tree fruits and medicinal materials, to the explanation of the surrounding natural environment and the key marking of dangerous areas, it can be said that there is nothing to worry about.

Size.

Among them, there are several wild Pokémon with a high risk factor, such as the circle bear that lives alone but has an uncertain living range, the queen bee that lives in a group, and the three bees. When seeing these Pokémon, the reserve requires the teacher to

Students must evacuate immediately.

If you cannot evacuate in time, you must press the emergency button of the locator in time.

When the emergency button is pressed, it will not only sound an alarm to the surroundings, but also release a unique pheromone to calm the wild Pokémon's emotions and reduce the opponent's hostility. Although it is not a panacea, it will also play a positive role.<

/p>

However, once this happens, the assessment will also come to an end. The students who are rescued and returned to the station will have their grades calculated based on their gains at that time, and the assessment will end.

Seeing this item, a few students who are usually very capable and lively, their eyes were darting around, and they obviously had some new ideas.

------------------

"I didn't expect that several dominant Pokémon here would actually cooperate with the protected area to maintain the natural environment and living order of the mountains."

In the temporary room in the boys' dormitory, Antoine was packing his things while chatting with Filio, who was not far away.

"This is normal. The establishment of a nature reserve basically requires a tacit understanding with the powerful local wild Pokémon. After all, they generally have quasi-kings or even higher strength. If they cannot cooperate, they will disappear and disappear. It will bring great safety risks to the rangers."

Listening to Antoine's words, Abe, who was feeding Kathy, interrupted.

He has a lot of travel experience and is extremely knowledgeable in this regard, and he is much better than Antoine who was born in a gym.

"In fact, the original intention of the establishment of the nature reserve is the cooperation between humans and Pokémon. To resist natural disasters together, protect the environment and ecology together, and resist social scum like Pokémon hunters together. So, from this perspective, both parties are also In a mutually beneficial and win-win relationship, those powerful wild Pokémon have high levels of intelligence, and most of them can figure it out. If I really can’t figure it out, the alliance also has dedicated strong people to deal with it. The worst I can do is to conquer it and release it somewhere else. ."

Filio sat calmly on the bed, and while talking, he stretched out his hand and rubbed the little heads of Dream Demon and Ibrahimovic with a relaxed expression.

The three of them, plus Ina who is in the girls' dormitory, have already decided to form a team to explore. They don't plan to return to the dormitory during the study tour, so there is no need to tidy up here. A little packing of the boxes is enough.< /p>

"But I saw in the manual that there were some big guys with bad tempers, such as the Overlord Iron Claw Lobster. I remember it was given a five-star danger rating. If you see it, you should run away."

With that said, Antoine sat on the bed board, picked up the thick manual again, rummaged through it, and pointed it out to Abe and Filio.

"You have to respect this kind of overlord Pokémon. If you encounter one with a bad temper, you have to hide away as much as possible. But it doesn't matter. I have a little dream monster here. I can avoid most dangers. Just do it." Battle."

Gently patting the dream monster's limp body, Filio was not worried. He was very confident in his partner.

However, he didn't mean to risk his life by going to those places.

What he really wants to do is to train his two partners in such a natural space and get in touch with the broader "outside world".

He grew up in Salo. Although he has extensive knowledge and can be said to have read thousands of books, he is still far from being able to travel thousands of miles.

"Marge!"

After hearing Philio's praise, the little dream demon was still lying lazily and had no intention of floating up, but just by listening to the voice, you could tell that it was very proud at this moment.

"That's right, we are not here to make a fortune anyway. Strengthening exercise and improving our strength is the key." Putting down the well-fed and drunk Casey, he took it from the hands of Flash Mongoose. He had obviously grown up, but

The Vulpix still seemed to be "waiting for food", Abe said in a leisurely manner, "If we can let Casey evolve and the Vulpix can accumulate more deeply, then it will be a worthwhile trip."

Antoine pretended to sigh: "Me too, Bricaron has just evolved, and the mushrooms and shuttlecocks also need to find a chance to practice and prepare for the next championship. Although I can't beat you, I also want to

You have to get good grades, otherwise you won't be able to go to the University of Miami with Ina."

"Tsk, I really can't stand your sour smell."

Abe deliberately fanned his nose in order to avoid the mouthful of dog food. After thinking about it, he decided to use his trump card.

However, he was a step slower.

"Just like if Abe can't figure it out, he has to go home and inherit his breeding house business that he has talked about countless times, right, Antoine?"

Philio beat him to it, said his lines, and complained about both of them at the same time.

"Hiss——"

"Hiss——"

Suddenly, the dormitory was very lively.

"Machi! Machi!"

The little dream demon got excited and shouted again and again, cheering for all parties.

"...Buyi..."

Ibrahimovic wasn't very interested. He rested his little head on his short legs, yawned widely, and fell asleep.

Several classmates who were packing their things nearby also stopped what they were doing and watched with interest the three big boys playing around in the room.

Such a scene is rarely seen on ordinary days.

------------------

In the green mountains, beside a mountain stream.

The petite figure covered with bruises could no longer walk.

Although they were all skin injuries, the pain was always tormenting him along the way.

He reluctantly squatted on the ground and drank some water. When he stood up again, he was already shaky.

"Qi...Duo...!"

Shaking his head, the little guy looked at the distance behind him with a little fear. When he saw that there were no pursuers, he struggled to leave the edge of the mountain stream and stumbled into the woods.

His mind was almost blank, with only one thought left: run as far away as possible, and run as far away from those devils as possible.

Near it, the forest that used to be lively now seems a bit secluded, and the movement of Pokémon can hardly be heard.

Only a few ordinary wild animals are still moving, adding a bit of life to the place.

Nothing seems very natural.
