Pokémon the Second Reality

Chapter 284 The Beginning of the Journey (2)

After officially entering the city, the two noticed the deathly atmosphere of the surrounding environment.

"Even if you give me a mountain of gold, I wouldn't want to live here."

Yuexia Duzuo said this.

But Xiao Ming thought about it and realized that if there really was a golden mountain, he would definitely nod in agreement immediately.

The two stopped in front of a hardware store.

There are no shops, including restaurants and convenience stores, in this city.

Except this one.

From the outside, this hardware store with a screw-nut-like signboard occupies a small area. It looks like the kind of small shops that can be seen everywhere on the roadside. It is very inconspicuous and slightly dilapidated.

But here, this store is the only one.

Moreover, its name - Banshan Hardware Store, has another nickname

Mid-level gymnasium.

Xiao Ming pushed open the old wooden door of the Mid-Levels Gym and walked in.

The lighting in the room was very poor, and the floor was covered with a thick layer of dust. It had obviously not been cleaned for a long time.

However, the products on the counter, ranging from screws to channel steel, all shone with a metallic luster and looked out of place with the surrounding environment.

"Oh? Are there guests?"

Suddenly an old voice came from behind the cashier. Xiao Ming and his two men followed the sound and saw an old man sitting behind the cashier. He had gray and messy hair and was wearing a blue workman's uniform. Wearing a pair of reading glasses and reading the newspaper.

"Hello," Yuexia Duzui walked forward, "We are here to challenge the trainers from the Mid-Levels Gym."

"You want a badge?" A ray of light flashed behind the old man's glasses, "You guys with small arms and legs, aren't you afraid of being thrown out?"

"Old man, it seems that whether the trainer is strong or not has no direct impact on the strength of the Pokémon he trains, right?"

"Oh, no impact?" Old Man Tsai put away the newspaper and stood up, "If you don't listen to the old man's words, you will suffer the consequences. Well, I will let you see the Yellow River before giving up."
