Passing through the quiet corridor inside Rustboro Gym, Roxanne brought Xinhai to a simple and elegant reception room.
There is a long dark wooden table, and several landscape paintings depicting Hoenn Region rocky landforms are hung on the wall.
"Please sit down." Roxanne gestured to Xinhai to sit down on the sofa opposite, while she took the main seat.
Roxanne motioned to Xinhai to sit down, then walked to the opposite side of the table and took out two stapled contracts from a document bag.
"This is a formal contract drawn up based on the "Rustboro Gym Investment Model and Resource Details" sent to you yesterday. The terms and resource list are completely consistent. You can check it carefully again." Roxanne pushed one copy to Xinhai with a clear and steady voice.
"Okay, thank you, Miss Roxanne." Xinhai took the thick contract and gently touched Ralts's little head.
Xinhai briefly browsed through the terms of the contract, focusing on confirming the investment model, the resources available, and the rights and obligations of both parties.
After Xinhai confirmed that it was correct, he nodded. "I have no problem, Miss Roxanne."
"Okay, let's sign the contract!" Roxanne said after hearing what Xinhai said.
Xinhai picked up the pen beside him and solemnly signed his name at Party B's signature place: Xinhai Bai Mu.
Roxanne also signed his name and handed one of the copies back to Xinhai. "There are two copies of the contract. Please keep this copy properly. In addition, I can take you to see Pokémon now. How about it? Do you want to go?"
Xinhai's eyes lit up and he stood up with Ralts in his arms. "Of course I'm going now!"
Roxanne curled up with a faint smile, turned around and walked towards the door. "Follow me, our Gym's incubation room and the living area of the young Pokémon are behind Gym."
The two of them walked in the corridor of Gym. Xinhai followed Roxanne with Ralts in his arms. Their footsteps made crisp echoes on the marble floor.
After walking for about five or six minutes, Roxanne led Xinhai through a clean and bright internal passage. At the end of the passage was a heavy alloy door.
Roxanne stepped forward and pressed his palm on the identification panel next to him. With a slight "beep" sound and the green indicator light turning on, the door slid open to both sides silently.
Continuing forward, the originally smooth Plate road turned into an open rocky area, where the air was filled with a unique atmosphere of warmth, moisture and a faint fragrance of vegetation.
Feeling this kind of breath in the building made Xinhai feel very strange. Even Ralts in his arms looked forward curiously after feeling this natural breath.
"The incubation room and the larval area are one of the most important core areas of the gym," Du Juan introduced as he walked.
"We have invested a lot of resources to ensure that Pokémon Egg is bred in the most stable environment closest to its original needs, and the young Pokémon can also receive the most scientific care and enlightenment training."
Listening to Roxanne's introduction, Xinhai was still guessing about the growth environment of Rustboro Gym's baby Pokémon.
After walking through the last passage, Xinhai looked at the scene in front of him and opened his mouth in surprise.
Just because the living area of Pokémon is not the indoor space that Xinhai expected, but resembles a real outdoor mountainous area!
Mountains of unpolished natural rocks extend into the distance into a vast area surrounded by huge rocky mountains.
Various Pokémon are heard from a distance, some are childish, some are loud, or some are full of Hustle and Growl are intertwined into a vibrant natural movement.
Xinhai looked at Little Sun at the top of the mine, then looked at the environment in the distance, and was shocked and speechless.
The Little Sun in the sky sheds the sunlight without any obstruction, bringing with it the fresh air unique to the mountain forest, mixed with the smell of soil, rocks and vegetation.
"Let's go this way." Roxanne took the lead on the rock-paved road, followed closely by Xinhai holding Ralts. The gravel under his feet made a slight friction sound.
The road was not long and soon led them to the open rocky area.
The scene here refreshed Xinhai. Huge rock mountains were scattered in an orderly manner. Some rock surfaces were covered with moss, and grasses and shrubs grew tenaciously in the gaps.
Several man-made waterfalls flowed down from the higher rock walls and gathered into small clear pools in the low-lying areas. Several Rhyhorn were drinking water on the shore.
The entire area is like a miniature, carefully planned mountain environment.
Just when Xinhai was looking at this piece of "Rock Park" with novelty, a heavy, majestic, and mountain-like momentum came without warning!
For a moment, the air seemed to freeze instantly.
"Roar--!!!"
A low and penetrating roar sounded, causing Xinhai's eardrums to buzz and his heart to beat wildly uncontrollably.
Ralts was so frightened that he screamed "Lalu!" and his whole little body suddenly shrank into Xinhai's arms, trembling, and his ruby-like eyes were filled with instinctive fear.
Xinhai felt a chill running down his spine, and cold sweat instantly soaked his back.
He looked towards the source of the sound with difficulty, and saw a huge and ferocious figure slowly walking out from the shadow of a rocky mountain.
Its whole body was covered in rock-like thick, dark green armor, with a spiked tail trailing behind it, making the ground tremble slightly with every step it took.
The ferocious head and lower jaw are as if made of steel, and a pair of fierce eyes Lock-On are looking at Xinhai, a stranger, with scrutiny and warning.
Yes, it is exactly Pseudo-Legendary in the game. In the real world, it can change the surrounding terrain at will. Kanto is a late bloomer Pokémon--Tyranitar!
Just standing there, Tyranitar exuded such pressure that Xinhai could hardly breathe, and its legs felt as heavy as lead.
This momentum far exceeded any Pokémon he had seen before. It was definitely the Pokémon of Elite level, or even the Pokémon of Champion level. Otherwise, there would never be such a terrifying momentum!
"Don't be nervous, Tyranitar, it's me." Roxanne first gave Xinhai an apologetic expression, and then walked over to Tyranitar.
Under Xinhai's nervous gaze, Roxanne walked up to the terrifying Tyranitar, raised his hand, and touched it naturally.
Tyranitar lowered his body very intimately and enjoyed Roxanne's touch.
"This is trainer Xinhai Bai Mu, a guest of Gym. He has permission to come here to choose a new partner, so don't worry." Roxanne's voice was very gentle, soothing the huge beast.
Tyranitar's fierce eyes full of Intimidate softened when Roxanne's hand touched its chin, and the suffocating pressure also dissipated.
"Roar!"
After a moment, Tyranitar roared at Roxanne, then slowly turned around, took heavy steps, and disappeared back into the shadow of the huge rock mountain.
Until Tyranitar's figure completely disappeared, Xinhai gently stroked Ralts's back. He himself breathed a sigh of relief, and the clothes on his back were soaked through.
Ralts in her arms relaxed a little under the comfort of Xinhai, but her little hands were still holding tightly on Xinhai's clothes, with a look of shock on her little face.
"I'm really sorry for scaring you." Roxanne turned around with a hint of apology on his face, "Tyranitar is my great-grandfather's Pokémon. It is the guardian of this rocky mountain area and is responsible for protecting the young Pokémons who live and grow here."
"It just sensed a strange aura and appeared just now. I'm really sorry because I didn't notify him in advance." Roxanne looked at Ralts who was in shock. He felt even more apologetic and bent down to apologize again.
"It's okay, Miss Roxanne, this is not your problem." Xinhai's voice was still a little tight, and he touched Ralts's little head soothingly, "But your great-grandfather's Pokémon is really strong!"
He sighed sincerely, and at the same time he had a deeper understanding of Rustboro Gym's strength. Roxanne's great-grandfather's Pokémon were all Elite level, and even Champion level's Pokémon. I dare not think about how deep these families' heritage is!
"Well, it is our Gym's important family member." Roxanne, who was still a little guilty, said proudly after hearing Xinhai's praise, "Okay, let's continue to select Pokémon for you."
