At eight o'clock in the morning, Xiaoye arrived at the Wind Canyon Flight Training Base.
Most flight training bases are located in suburbs far away from the city center, and the one Xiao Ye signed up for is no exception. Wind Canyon is located in the Honglian Volcanic Mountains and is named after the strong updrafts that often occur in the canyon. The Wind Canyon Flight Training Base is located on the cliff on the west side of Wind Canyon.
Since Honglian City is not a city with many trainers, the flight training base here is not large. The not-so-spacious hall was already crowded with many trainers, both young and old, and it was a bit overwhelming.
No matter how sensitive your body skills are, you can't use them in a place like this, and you can only succumb to the power of the people. Before she could clearly see the appearance of the hall, Xiaoye was pushed to the side in a chaotic manner and almost ran into the queue in the corner.
Quickly controlling the direction of movement to avoid being regarded as a naughty child who jumped in line, Xiaoye looked at the only queue in the hall that was neat and not chaotic.
There were more than twenty people queuing up, and the head of the line moved forward and extended into an office.
Before I had time to explore what this team did, an impatient voice came from behind.
"Get out of the way."
"Sorry." Xiaoye quickly opened the gap to the end of the line and looked back at the person who made the sound.
The boy looked a little older than Xiaoye and had short, messy gray-white hair. The purple color of his eyes is much darker and more sinister than Xiaoye's. Coupled with the always frowning brow, this face makes people involuntarily think of a street gangster.
He glanced at Xiaoye, ignored the naughty kid blocking the way, and went to the end of the queue.
And I got a lot of surprised looks from people around me saying, "It's a waste not to jump in line even though he looks like a bad boy."
Xiaoye, who realized that she would block the road no matter where she stood, had no choice but to crawl out of the hall temporarily. After carefully reading the instructions for new students at the door, she realized that what she had seen before was the freshmen queuing up to receive their student ID cards.
This was the first step to enter the training base, so Xiaoye had no choice but to hold on to her strong will to fight against the people and squeezed into the hall again, barely pushing herself into the back of the freshman team.
Most of the freshmen lining up are young people. Looking carefully, excluding Xiaoye herself, there are only three or four girls among the more than twenty people - trainers are a profession with a relatively large number of men, but they are willing to obtain a pilot's license and fly on the back of Pokémon in the strong wind. There are even fewer female trainers flying around. Even to protect their skin, most girls prefer to take transportation.
Of course, for Xiaoye, saving money is justice.
After receiving their student certificates, more than 20 freshmen were led into a classroom and began to receive basic knowledge about long-distance flights.
According to the mark on the course schedule, classes at this training base start at eight o'clock every day. The first hour is for knowledge explanation, and then until noon is long-distance flight training. The afternoon practice items are flying skills.
The coach responsible for leading Xiaoye's G31 class is named Yuuto Kanai. He is a young man in his thirties who looks very kind - he just looks kind.
"As we all know, the safest flying altitude is below one thousand meters. For those who don't know, please remember this sentence in your mind now." The yellow-haired young man spoke very fast and raised a finger with a smile, " On the premise of not affecting the buildings on the ground, the flight height should be as low as possible. Whether it is to ensure a good view to judge the direction or for safety reasons, it is one of the best choices. Like this Ikeda classmate , but if you want to fly high into the clouds to create a fairy tale atmosphere, I won’t stop you from seeking death. I sincerely hope that you will encounter cumulonimbus clouds and be struck down by lightning as soon as possible.”
The little fat man who raised the ignorant question was hit with a hail of stones, and he sat down, not daring to refute.
"Teacher Kanai, what if you fly higher than cumulonimbus clouds...?"
"This is a good question, classmate."
The yellow-haired young man quickly walked to the seat of the student who asked the question, his smiling face not moving at all.
"The cloud tops of cumulonimbus clouds are very high and can reach the tropopause. If it is higher than cumulonimbus clouds, it is the stratosphere. I will not go into details about the stratification of the atmosphere here. Please check this knowledge online or ask you at home. Parents - flying in the stratosphere? I have to praise this classmate's whimsical ability. Civil aviation airliners choose to fly in the stratosphere, firstly, because the airflow here is stable and suitable for flying, and secondly, because the aircraft has a fixed channel, and the channel is in At the beginning of the development, it will definitely drive the surrounding wild Pokémon far away and will not hinder the flight of the aircraft. As for trainers who personally want to fly to the stratosphere on Pokémon? First of all, you will be affected by the sudden drop in temperature. You will be frozen to the point that your whole body is stiff and your nose will run all over your face. Secondly, the large bird Pokémon that is the most active in the stratosphere will immediately treat you as a door-to-door takeaway. Please be sure to show your student ID card before trying this move. Tear them to pieces and swallow them, lest your body parts are discovered and exposed as a fool like the one I taught.”
The second round of hailstones came down, and the young student who raised the ignorant question was immediately silenced. Only then did he get a satisfied nod from Coach Kanai.
Xiaoye sitting in the corner: "..."
She suddenly remembered that when she was in the other land, she seemed to have ascended to the stratosphere when she flew from the polar ice fields to the shores of the Star Lake...
Was this such a dangerous move?
As for the stratosphere, Xiao Ye's concept was still stuck in her previous life - it was a relatively quiet and stable altitude that was suitable for airplanes to fly and difficult for even large birds to reach. But the "large birds" in this life are completely different from those in the previous life. For Pokémon such as finches and dancing swans, the stratosphere is the area where they are most active. If the bird Pokémon itself If one's physical ability is sufficient, it is not impossible to rush into the mesosphere or even the ionosphere.
"By the way, flying is never 100% safe even below 1,000 meters. In order to prevent you from becoming a bird delivery, please be sure to remember the no-fly zones across the country. Students who don't want to remember remember to leave the door on the left. Go to the insurance company as a customer."
Listening to Coach Kanai's three-sentence, one-sentence, "unique" explanation, Xiaoye silently flipped through the no-fly zone map and decided to memorize it tonight.
Her luck in flying might have been used up during the miraculously uneventful few days in the Land Beyond, so it would be better to be nice next time.
Although the coach's teaching method made the students' fists clamor and want to jump up, it cannot be denied that the explanations of this young but experienced coach are very useful.
In just one hour, he "vividly" explained the most important knowledge and the most taboo mistakes for long-distance flights, including the suitable altitude, speed, weather, etc., which is better than flying on a bicycle. It's much more effective to jump through lengthy rules.
In the last ten minutes, coach Yuto Kanai explained to the newbies what a "cycling device" is.
Riding gear is one of the must-have items for long-distance flights. These include cycling clothing, protective helmets, cycling shoes, safety devices - including small parachute bags, marine life jackets, etc. - as well as simple seats, cycling watches that display altitude, moving speed, air pressure, temperature and other data, etc. wait.
The cycling clothes of the cycling device are made of special materials, which can resist wind resistance well, protect the trainer's body, and at the same time play a thermal insulation role. The cycling watch can be bound to a mobile phone and display recorded data on the mobile phone. The safety device is usually fixed on the back of a simple seat and is linked to the watch. It will automatically activate when abnormal conditions are detected.
It is said that the birthplace of the alliance's common riding device is the Alola region. A wider range of riding gear for land and sea use can also be purchased in training home stores.
According to relevant traffic regulations, in order to ensure flight safety, trainers must use riding devices when making long-distance flights, so riding devices for private use need to be purchased by themselves. However, in order to take care of newcomers, the training base will issue the riding equipment required for flying and take it back after the training or exam.
It's nice to be able to use the free riding equipment, but...
too heavy.
Perhaps due to cost considerations, the training base still uses old-fashioned space equipment from many years ago, which is completely incomparable with the advanced space backpacks used by young trainers today. Although many items are compressed into a space the size of a handbag, the handbag itself is extremely heavy. In the words of the students, it has no self-esteem as a space device at all.
Fortunately, Xiaoye's strength is relatively reliable. Not only can she lift her riding device easily, but she can also help the fat boy who was scolded in class before. Just like this, everyone followed coach Yuito Kanai for more than ten minutes and arrived at the land training ground at the training base.
The open wilderness is very large and may be the only relatively flat area in the Honglian Volcanic Mountains. There are colorful flagpoles erected around the field, and the vast rocky area of more than 100,000 square meters surrounded by flags in the center is the scope of the land training ground. In the distance, other classes can be vaguely seen training.
The chattering freshmen changed into their cycling clothes in the locker room next to the training ground. Most of the cycling uniforms distributed at the training ground were the simplest black, which made several girls - not including Xiaoye - complain that they looked too ugly and regretted not buying their own cycling equipment earlier.
There are also bright colors. For example, little fat boy Ikeda was lucky and unfortunate to get a set of pure pink cycling clothes. At this time, it was neither smiling nor laughing at the puddle of pink that the vicious coach refused to change.
Of course, Coach Kanai, who seemed to be smiling but was actually stern and vicious, did not give the freshmen much time to chat. Under his urging, no matter how reluctant the student was, he had to hold his nose and put on his cycling clothes and an old-fashioned helmet.
The Pokémon registered for study were also released one by one, and simple seats were slung on their backs.
Charizard, who was coming into contact with a riding device for the first time, twisted his body from side to side, expressing his full sense of novelty at the state where both his owner and himself were fully armed.
After the students were ready, Yuuto Kanai also released his big beak, turned over and sat on the seat, and blew the whistle hanging on his chest.
"All students in class G31, take off with me!"
The air flow rotates and dust flies. Bathed in the mountain wind, many Pokémon spread their wings and rose into the clear blue sky.
====================
small theater:
Little Fatty Ikeda: (Cheerfully) Produced by Coach Kanai, bird delivery is delivered to your door!
Xiaoye: (Seriously) It tastes great, welcome to try it.
Kanai: ...Please take your student ID cards. Thank you for your cooperation. (head full of veins)
