Kuye City [Japanese: クぃバシティ, Kuchiba_City, English: Vermilion_City] is a famous military port city.

The term "Military Port" often gives people a sense of old-fashioned and depressing, but this is not the case with Kuye City. Fashion, technology, and multicultural exchanges are the city impression of Kuye City.

The word "dead leaves" means the color of dead leaves, which refers to the color of rotten autumn leaves that wither in autumn. This statement may not sound beautiful, but in fact it is a very clear color - orange yellow with a faint redness.

This city was built around 740 years ago in the Elves calendar, more than 200 years ago, as a dedicated port for the Alliance Navy. Its geographical location is adjacent to the Kawan Strait in the north, and it is indeed an ideal location for military ports.

In that era, the light orange red with fallen leaves was the most popular and elegant color in China. At that time, there were many fashionable people in the navy who were following the trend, so they did not use the clichéd navy blue as the base color of the city, but chose the popular "dead leaf color".

Although the Hanye Market is still marked by a harbor, it is quite different from the appearance it was when it was first built. The reason is that-

In the ninth century, a war that almost affected the whole world broke out. The main battles were the Pokémon Alliance, which was the most powerful national power at that time, and the "Guardians Alliance" composed of many countries. When the Pokémon Alliance was at a disadvantage, Kuye City was forcibly occupied by foreign countries, and a large number of foreign warships and soldiers flocked into the city.

Of course, it was not long before the Pokémon Alliance restored its sovereignty in Kuye City in various ways; the troops occupying Kuye City left, and the Guardians Alliance also declared disintegration, and now it has almost become part of the Pokémon Alliance. However, Kuye City has been under the rule of foreigners for decades, and many foreigners stayed here and left their marks in every corner of the city.

Today, Kuye City has become a bridge connecting overseas culture. There are many shops facing foreigners in the city, and buildings with obvious exotic styles are everywhere. Fresh atmosphere from foreign countries fills every corner of the city.

"How does it feel, Boy! Do you feel like you are falling in love with this COOOOOOOL city a little bit?" The blonde middle-aged man in a friendly shop uniform chattered in high spirits, placing jars of big and small size on the counter, "It's done! This is the Pokemon_foods you want!"

"Thank you for your introduction." Xiaoye nodded and put food cans of different models into his backpack.

The clerk of the friendly store is a very talkative person. After hearing that Xiaoye was a trainer on a trip, he had briefly briefed the history of the city in just a few minutes of rummaging on the goods.

Xiaoye has a poor understanding of the history of this world, and he is happy to listen to the middle-aged clerk telling this knowledge in a strange foreign accent.

However, the clerk is actually a native of Qianhong City, Guandu area. He imitates the accent of foreigners just because this way of speaking is very "COOOOOOOL".

This kind of language was called "English" in the past life, and in this world, called "Spanish" was once a common language in the mainland where the Hezhong region is located on the other side of the sea. Nowadays, the residents of Hezhong have long been accustomed to using the official Pokémon Alliance, while among other small countries, Spanish is the most widely used common language.

The simple basic application of Spanish is a compulsory course in compulsory education. Xiaoye learned relevant knowledge when he was in Zhenxin Town. Fortunately, Xiaoye did not skip classes casually - otherwise, with his English level of basically zero in his previous life, he might not be able to communicate with the clerk normally.

"Glad_I_could_help! My biggest hobby is to introduce the charm of this city to the young Boys_and_girls!" The middle-aged clerk laughed heartily.

After putting away the Pokémon food, Xiaoye thought for a moment and turned his eyes to the middle-aged clerk, "Sir, do you know where the most bars in Kuye City are?"

"COOOOOOOL!!" The blonde middle-aged clerk made a cry of unknown significance, and even walked around the place twice. "The first thing I did when I came to this city was to inquire about the bar, COOOOOOOL! I guarantee with my character that Bar in Kuye City is also a well-deserved No.1 in the entire Guandu area!"

Find a map of the Dead Leaf City among the debris. The middle-aged clerk excitedly spread the map on the counter. "Boy, look, this is the main road of Electric Street, here is Electric South Street." The thick-boned fingers clicked heavily at the end of Electric South Street. "Here! This is the most famous Bar_street in this Dead Leaf City!"

Xiaoye carefully remembered the position the middle-aged clerk pointed at and nodded, "I understand, thank you."

After putting away the map, the middle-aged clerk suddenly lowered his voice and signaled Xiaoye to approach, "I suggest you wait until twelve o'clock in the evening, and you will have unexpected surprises! Surprise! The red signature Silver_Bullet is a good choice, and the bar girl there-"

Seeing the middle-aged clerk's subtle smile on his face, Xiaoye immediately understood what the so-called "unexpected surprise" meant, and he was immediately embarrassed.

"Uh, that's it..."

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! How can young people not play unruly!" The middle-aged clerk laughed and threw a travel burger to Xiaoye, "For you, this is a gift!"

"Thank you. Then I'll say goodbye."

“See_you,cool_boy!”

He walked out the door with the free burger in his arms, and Xiaoye wiped his sweat silently.

Actually...I'm not Boy, Mr. Clerk.

"Hey, master, the tone of that person and the electric shock monster were a bit like a chiu." Pichu on his shoulder shook his ears, "Also, what was the unexpected surprise?"

"I don't know!" Xiaoye's tone was decisive.

"Hey? Really Qiu? I really want to know Qiu."

"real!"

"…Master, your expression is so strange."

"That's your illusion."

After leaving the friendly store, Xiaoye certainly did not go straight to the so-called "unexpected surprise" silver bullet bar - still went to the Pokémon Center as usual and handed over his Pokémon to Miss Joey for treatment.

This clerk is really... heroic.

Shaking his head helplessly, Xiaoye sat next to the bed in the single dormitory and took out a black hard-crust notepad.

This is the notepad belonging to Taki. When he was in Hualan City, it was the clue of this book, Xiaoye and Xiaojie came into contact with the Rockets' action plan in Sunshine Forest. After the battle, the police station checked the book, determined that there was "no useful clue" and then returned it to Xiaoye.

Although Xiaoye felt that the police probably couldn't understand the graffiti on the notebook at all.

When Xiaoye was used to reading the sloppy words on the notepad, he gradually found the rules and was able to barely recognize some simple content. For Xiaoye, who had no mobile phone or books, looking through this notepad was considered a pastime entertainment on the journey; and when he was having nothing to do to decipher the game, Xiaoye saw some concerning information.

On the seventh to last page of Notepad, there is such a handwriting written.

クぁシィ, みかんきちバー, Baika ラス (Kurye City, Orange Base Bar, White Crow).
