It is still early in the morning, and many people have already gathered in this mountainous area.
They all wore coal workers' suits similar to Laotai's, wore safety helmets, and walked in with manuscripts in hand to start a day of coal mining.
Basically, there is a Haoli or an arm pushing a cart next to him.
The Black Gold Mine is a treasure trove of resources in the Sinnoh region, and it not only accounts for almost all of the Black Gold City’s revenue.
The abundant coal mineral energy can even be transported and supplied to various regions of Sinnoh and even other regions in the world.
"That's right, this is a perfect place to work, meow~!"
“Three meals a day, accommodation included, and even the salary is paid daily~!”
"Work here for two months, and in the second half of the year we can break our legs and lie down~!"
At this moment, Musashi, Kojiro, and Meow Meow were also dressed like coal workers, holding iron pickaxes, and happily stood in front of the mine entrance, cheering.
Since precious resources are almost inexhaustible, the wages of workers in Black Gold City have also increased.
"Sonas~!"
Sure enough, Weng Ze was pushing a small cart and was ready to have a big fight.
Just as a gust of wind blew by, the expressions of the three people were stunned.
"Wait a minute! We came here to conquer the Sinnoh region, why did we become here to work!!"
"Staying here is a waste of youth, meow!!"
“But I have to say, the food here is really delicious...”
Kojiro licked his lips and said weakly.
"Kojiro, you guy, please wake up, nya!!"
Hearing this, Meow Meow jumped up on the spot, raised his hand and scratched wildly, leaving countless red marks on Kojiro's handsome face.
"Our target is the big treasure here, nya!!"
After landing, Miao Miao's eyes suddenly turned sinister, causing several people nearby to quickly turn their heads.
Meow Meow has always been understanding. Once he shows this expression, he must have some clever idea.
"I secretly inquired before that the routes inside the black gold mine are complicated, but the larger the branch cave, the richer the resources inside it... But there is one largest branch cave entrance, but no one has dared to enter it!
"
It is said that because it is haunted, once humans or Pokémon enter, they will see green will-o'-the-wisps.
Even consciousness will be forcibly occupied and do unpredictable things.
"Hmph! We, the Rockets, are all upright, and no monsters or monsters can try to interfere with us!"
"That's right, even a ghost has to hand over the treasure obediently!!"
"Forehead..."
Musashi and Meowth were bold, and they immediately saw the right thing, thinking that there must be some big treasure hidden in it. Only Kojiro was a little hesitant.
Kojiro's family is a big family and has quite a lot of industry in the Sinnoh region.
Therefore, when he was still a child, Kojiro would go to a villa in the Sinnoh area for vacation every holiday, which was located near Kurogane City.
As for the famous haunted incident in the Black Gold Mine, he has naturally heard about it since he was a child. It has a history of more than ten years, right?
"How about continuing to work...?"
However, Kojiro's suggestion was naturally completely ignored by the other two, and they immediately walked towards the haunted branch cave confidently.
This forced Kojiro and Guo Ranweng, who was afraid of ghost attributes, to follow carefully.
...
...
At the same time, after the fierce battle between Shinji and Hyota yesterday, Xiaozhi and Xiaoguang came to the Black Gold Gym again.
"Welcome both of you~!"
Today, Laotai doesn't dare to skip work and work part-time in the mine. Who knows what kind of report this inspector wrote to her.
Not only that, even the clothes on his body were changed into a rather formal gray uniform.
This is the official uniform issued by the Pokémon League to every gym leader, but this is his first time wearing it.
"So you are the one who wants to challenge first?"
Hyota looked at Xiaoguang.
"Yes Mr. Hyota, and I am a new trainer!"
Xiaoguang nodded and emphasized his identity.
After returning home last night, Xiaogang secretly ran to the Elf Center to meet the two of them.
After some exchanges, I realized that something very outrageous had happened.
"fair enough!"
Xiaozhi simply didn't want to explain, as he just wanted to see the gym leader going all out.
But Xiaoguang doesn't want to get involved in an all-out incident... If it comes to fighting, it's better to keep it simple.
"..."
Hyota looked at Xiaoguang, and looked at Xiaozhi next to him in surprise, not understanding the latter's intention at all.
Is it really a newbie, or is it just a trial move?
...
Soon, the battle started.
"The competition rules of the Black Gold Gym are 3v3. Once all three Pokémon on one side lose their ability to fight, the winner will be determined."
"During the process, only the challenger is allowed to change Pokémon, but moves like rapid return are not considered a foul!"
A male referee with long yellow hair shouted loudly and spoke seriously.
"3v3..."
Standing at one end of the battlefield, Xiaoguang took a deep breath to calm down.
Currently she only has two Pokémon on her body, but the last slot allows Plantina-san to take over.
boom!!
Soon, Hyota took the lead in sending the Pokémon—Ichi, an ordinary little puncher.
After all, the opponent was not his target. After much thought, Hyota decided to make the battle simpler.
"The decision is yours, Curl-eared Rabbit!!"
Xiaoguang imitated Xiaozhi's tone and shouted, which made her feel as if she had indeed become stronger.
"Volume~!!"
The lively Curl-eared Rabbit appears. While jumping, the ears on its head are like small fists, sometimes retracting and sometimes flying out.
"Pre-emptive strike, Curl-eared Rabbit, use freezing light!!"
As soon as it appears, the Curl-eared Rabbit shoots out an ice-blue electric current, which has very beneficial attributes.
"Little fist stone, use rolling!!"
The small fist stone rounded its body and rolled quickly on the ground. With its flexible rolling movement, it completely avoided the dangerous freezing light.
"Then came the rockfall!!"
Even at the moment when it was unrolled, its strong arms quickly picked up a rock from the ground and slammed it in the direction of the curl-eared rabbit.
"Curly-eared rabbit, use bounce!!"
But this curly-eared rabbit moved just as fast, jumping towards the falling rocks and leaping when it got close to the rocks.
Bang!
Then he stepped on the falling rock, not only dodging the attack, but also taking advantage of the situation and leaping high.
"Now, use the double kick!!"
Xiaoguang also gradually entered the state, with a serious expression.
The next moment, the curly-eared rabbit swooped down from the air, and its strong lower limbs trampled heavily on the face of the small fist stone one after another.
