Random Town, outside the Lost Tower.
As soon as the news spread that someone challenged the Lost Tower and got a huge reward, especially when that person was Sirona, a well-known beauty trainer in the Sinnoh region, all the nearby news media and trainers rushed to check it out.
Some people come for Sirona, while others come for the rewards from the Lost Tower.
The former did not find the elusive Sirona, but the latter...
They firmly believe: Sirona is a human being, her Pokémon are Pokémon, they are human beings, and their Pokémon are Pokémon too. If she can do it, they can definitely do it too.
Many confident new trainers began to challenge the Lost Tower.
The news media that did not interview Sirona, in order not to let their trip go in vain, instead focused on the trainers who later challenged the Lost Tower.
After all, the Lost Tower is also a well-known trial place nearby. If two people clear the level in a short time, and one of them is Sirona, if the popularity is slightly dampened, it can still barely meet the minimum requirements of this news. .
But what they didn't expect was that after five days, except for an older young man who lied about his age and was discovered after clearing two floors, all the other trainers who challenged the compliance challenge failed, and none of them succeeded.
When they saw another trainer and his Pokémon coming out in disgrace, the news reporters who had originally planned to take photos put down their cameras.
"Oh, it failed again. How many times is this today?"
"I don't know, there are already more than ten anyway."
"I thought I could take advantage of the large number of people and maybe catch someone who passed the customs. I didn't expect that the whole army has been wiped out now."
"Perhaps they all came here with your thoughts in mind, thinking that the people in front would consume the energy of the Pokémon in the lost tower, and then go up to pick up the leaks. As a result, a group of sneaky people fell on the first floor."
"I really don't understand how these trainers dare to travel. Not to mention clearing the fifth level, they don't even have the first level. All the time training and breeding Pokémon is wasted on dogs?"
The reporter who gave up another piece of news and came to the Lost Tower to guard it couldn't help but curse.
"Okay, it's all your own choice, you can't blame others."
An older reporter put away his camera and said earnestly to the rest of his colleagues: "As a person who has experienced this, I would like to advise you to learn to give up properly and to advance as a retreat instead of insisting blindly. I am going to remove the curtain." City, I heard that there have been some strange movements in the meteorites there recently, maybe we can make up for the losses, does anyone want to go with us?"
As soon as these words came out, most of the people were a little moved.
After staying here for five days, I gained nothing at all. Sirona will most likely leave Random Town. There seems to be no point in continuing to wait. It is better to find some news early.
As a result, most of the reporters who had already thought about leaving began to follow the old reporters.
There were only five or six young-looking people left, as well as the tall reporter who gave up other news and stayed, but the result was unsatisfactory and he cursed.
"I saw your angry look just now, why didn't you leave?"
"Anyway, time has been wasted. Even if you lose, you have to be convinced. I won't leave until the last challenger leaves."
…
The other side of the Lost Tower.
The mayor of Random Town, who had a somewhat plump figure, looked at most of the reporters who left and the few who stayed, and shook his head in disappointment.
"well."
When the assistant next to him saw this, he couldn't help but ask: "Mayor, it's okay if the other reporters leave. It's okay as long as the two media outlets in our town are still there. They are the top ones in the Sinnoh region."
"I'm not sighing because of those reporters."
"Then...are those trainers?"
The mayor nodded slowly, with his double chin looming, and said in a melancholy tone: "Originally, I thought that with the momentum of Miss Sirona's clearance this time, the news media would publicize it a little more, and completely make the Lost Tower famous. After the benefits improved, I said Maybe Random Town will turn into Random City, but in the end, except for Miss Sirona, all the other trainers are just like cannon fodder, alas..."
In addition, fewer and fewer people have signed up to pass the customs in the past few days, and the overall level of trainers is getting lower and lower. With the top promotional media in the Sinnoh region, it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without straw, and there is no way to market it.
"Mayor, should we let the more powerful trainers in the town train the Pokémon in the Lost Tower a little..."
The assistant made a silent gesture.
"That's not necessary, it will only make other guys laugh at me."
The mayor let out a long sigh again and said: "It seems that before I leave office, I can't move the town up. Forget it, let's go. A lot of things have accumulated in the past few days. It’s piled up, go back and finish it all.”
The assistant quickly took out the elf ball and prepared to release the doo-doo bird, a vehicle, when he noticed a man and a woman walking outside the Lost Tower, especially the woman among them who looked very familiar.
"Mayor, Miss Xiao Song seems to be going to challenge the Lost Tower. Do we need to take a look again?"
The mayor looked at the words and stopped.
Although Xiao Siong has challenged the Lost Tower before, and was not much different from other challengers, they all fell on the first floor, but her father is the gym trainer of the Qifeng Gym in Qifeng City after all. , you should all show your face.
And in terms of strength, Xiao Siong is undoubtedly the person closest to passing the first level. If the condition is better, or the performance is better, it is possible to reach the second level.
"Well, let's wait and see the results."
After the mayor finished speaking, his eyes fell on the figure next to Xiao Song, his brows furrowed slightly, and asked: "Do you know the person standing next to her?"
The assistant quickly said: "I haven't seen it before. From time to time, Miss Xiao Song will pester some people to ask questions about clothing and accessories. Maybe this time too?"
"possible."
After looking at it for a while, the mayor stopped paying attention and returned his attention to Xiao Song.
"As long as she can clear the first level and do a little marketing, at least the initial preparations can pay off a little bit." The mayor thought in his heart.
The reporter's goal was even clearer. After someone called out Xiaosong's identity when she paid the fee, they all raised their cameras and other equipment and ran to Xiaosong for interviews. Qingliu beside Xiaosong was forcibly separated.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Song was a little embarrassed and wanted to avoid it. She tried to go around but couldn't escape the reporters' pursuit. In the end, she could only look at Qingliu helplessly.
Qingliu raised his hand to give her an encouraging gesture and walked directly into the Lost Tower.
The reporters who were watching from all directions saw this scene and ignored it after a brief hesitation.
Compared to this unknown person, it is safer to interview someone with a strong foundation like Xiao Siong. I've already run away once. If this time it was all in vain, I would probably just pack up and leave when I get back.
As for whether Qingliu would pass the first level, even if he came with Xiaosong, they had no expectations.
In the past few days, they have seen too many examples of people who were full of momentum before entering, but immediately lost their temper soon after entering. Qingliu was automatically classified into this category by them.
The mayor, who had been observing from the sidelines, also noticed this scene and immediately frowned: "What's going on? How come he was the one who went in instead of Xiaosong?"
It would be okay if he was eliminated quickly, but if he had a Pokémon that was better at delaying time, the time he needed to wait for Xiao Siong to challenge would be delayed a lot, which made him The bad mood was made worse.
The assistant also knew that after waiting for several days without any results, the mayor's patience had been exhausted, so he quickly said: "Maybe Miss Xiaosong was stopped by reporters, so I had to let my friend go in first, and I will go and get those The reporters drove away and let Miss Xiaosong go in first."
"No."
The mayor let out an expressionless breath, crossed his arms over his chest, and tapped his arms with his index finger.
Now that we have reached this point, there is no need to do such a bad thing. Just wait until he fails and treat it as the last wait.
But what no one expected was...
After waiting, there was no movement for half an hour.
