"I didn't get the Tanigawa Gym to share my profits, so I really lost out..." Guan Liyuan said as he looked at the audience seats that were packed with people.

"It's not so lively when I challenge the tenth badge normally, right?" Serena couldn't help but say.

Serena has also gone to the Coordinator Association several times in the past few days, because the little fox has excellent qualifications, and under Serena's careful breeding, although its combat effectiveness is average, its fur luster and other appearances are also excellent.

Moreover, Serena's little fox also enjoys the process of performing and beauty pageants, so yesterday, it successfully joined the Coordinator Association.

Of course, this is also related to the appearance of training. Serena's own conditions are also excellent. If it were Sakaki, he would not have the opportunity to be a coordinator even if he was given Milotica! Guan Liyuan thought so.

"Indeed, I have seen many battles of the nine and ten badge challenges in the gym in Miare City before, and there were not so many spectators." Esther nodded.

The challenge of nine or ten badges is no less than the level of the top eight in the league competition. Even in Nancy's Golden Gym, the gym trainers who can cope with the challenge of nine or ten badges are all the top elites, such as A Zi.

Some official gyms that are not too famous even need the gym owner to be in charge when they challenge ten badges. They need to make an appointment a week in advance. There will be a lot of publicity, and Pokémon enthusiasts from nearby towns will come.

"I guess the Tanigawa Gym is also working hard in the publicity." Guan Liyuan didn't know whether he should be helpless or proud.

It's just an ordinary challenge of the first badge, but there is such a big commotion. It is estimated that when they really participate in the unlimited group competition, trainers from other regions will come... Of course, the bigger purpose of their coming at that time may be the newly opened Tianxia Diyiwu branch.

Maybe this is the burden of idols! Guan Liyuan thought so.

"Last year, the Electric Gym in Miare City was challenged for the eleventh badge. At that time, it was the son of the gym owner Li Menglei, Xitron, who participated in the battle. There was even a king-level battle... Only then did we have such a large audience!" said Esther.

The limit of ordinary official gyms is eleven badges. If someone challenges the eleventh badge, it is considered a "kick" for ordinary gym owners!

Because even if you participate in the unlimited group competition or enter some ordinary protected areas, you only need ten badges. The owner of the eleventh badge already has some privileges in the alliance and can enter some special places.

Usually, when challenging the gym with the eleventh badge, the challenger must use local Pokémon to fight.

For the majority of ordinary gyms, the highest authority is to grant the eleventh badge. There is a limit on the number of eleventh badges issued each year. Once too many are issued, the alliance will review it. If it is issued due to insufficient strength, the official gym qualification will be revoked!

A stronger gym can issue the twelfth badge, such as the electric gym in Miare City. If challenged for the twelfth badge, the main player Meng Lei will definitely fight in person and give his all. If he can get the twelfth badge, his strength can basically be determined to be at the king level.

Only the four kings of the corresponding region are qualified to issue the higher thirteenth badge, such as Nancy now. The highest fourteenth badge... needs to apply to the league to challenge the champion.

Once the latter two situations occur, it is usually chosen to fight in an unmanned area, because it may affect too much and it is impossible to arrange for spectators, but the local TV station will definitely broadcast the battle.

Now Guan Liyuan is only challenging the first badge, and there are actually some small TV station cameras in place on the sidelines, from hosts, referees to commentators, and special guests.

At this time, the host has also begun to introduce the two opponents...

"The one who will represent the Tanigawa Gym to meet the challenge today is the gym's elite student Mingbo! Trainer Mingbo, now 19 years old, has been studying at the Tanigawa Gym since he was 14 years old. He is one of the best students in the Tanigawa Gym today, and is also the new trainer recommended by the Tanigawa Gym to participate in the youth group competition this year!"

Guan Liyuan's previous guess was correct. The opponent chosen for him by the Tanigawa Gym did have the strength of eight badges, otherwise the Tanigawa Gym would not have recommended him a place in the Carlos League. Students recommended by the gym can directly challenge for the eighth badge in other gyms.

"The challenger for the Tanigawa Gym today is known to everyone. Please allow me to introduce him to you... He won the championship in the youth group of the Quartz Kanto Contest last year. He was voted first in the 'Best Trainer in My Mind' vote in the World Pokémon Forum. He has the world's largest training base and the most popular training playground. He is favored by the two legendary beasts Zapdos and Hoopa... The owner of the No. 1 House in the World, Guan Liyuan!"

The host introduced the tone of a superstar, and the audience really cooperated and cheered.

The Tanigawa Gym is to promote its own gym, and of course, Guan Liyuan must be introduced as powerful and excellent as possible.

Moreover, Guan Liyuan is now well-known in the Pokémon world. Although many trainers and trainers in the Kalos and Alola regions think that Guan Liyuan's "championship declaration" is too arrogant, no one doubts his ability!

After that, the host briefly introduced Guan Liyuan's "championship declaration" to let everyone understand why this game is worth watching. If Guan Liyuan is unrestricted and directly releases the legendary beasts, it would be a waste for Shining Mu to come out in person.

However, the Tanigawa Gym played a trick here. It only emphasized that Guan Liyuan announced his victory "more than a month ago", but did not mention that Guan Liyuan had only been traveling for less than half a month...

"Now, please invite the trainers of both sides to come on stage!"

After the host introduced, Guan Liyuan and Mingbo both stood on the trainer platform in the venue.

The largest duel venue in the Tanigawa Gym is in the shape of a "bowl", surrounded by layers of audience seats, and the bottom of the bowl is quite special. The trainers of both sides stand on two platforms two or three stories high, and below is the Pokémon duel venue...

There are many metal pillars as thick as thighs that are sensitive to electromagnetics in the venue. After the duel begins, the venue will activate the electromagnetic force field effect, and the power of electric skills will be stronger in this venue.

Because the Pokémon of the gym trainers are all of specific attributes, the rules originally allow the gym to set up an advantageous venue, but in principle, it can only have advantages for its own attributes. If the challenger also has Pokémon of the same attribute, it will also enjoy the advantage.

And the advantage cannot be too exaggerated, such as the electric type directly connecting high voltage electricity on the field, and the water type not even preparing floating islands in the pool... It is absolutely not allowed, and the alliance will review it regularly.

"Tani Gym Challenge, the challenger is the owner of the world's number one house Guan, and the gym is the gym student Mingbo. In the duel, both sides can fight with two Pokémon. Only the challenger can exchange Pokémon in the middle. The side whose two Pokémon lose their combat effectiveness or concede defeat will lose... The game begins!"

With the referee's announcement, Guan Liyuan and Mingbo released their Pokémon at the same time...

"Go! Rhydon!"

"Let's see who's tougher... Knight Snail!"

Ming Bo's "Rumble Rock" has shorter front claws than ordinary Rumble Rocks, and iron sand and iron stones can be seen on its face and chest, and there is even a device that looks like an electromagnetic cannon on its back.

If people from Kanto and Johto see this Rumble Rock, they may feel that this Rumble Rock is very unfamiliar, but trainers in Carlos and Alola are actually more familiar with this Rumble Rock. It is precisely because of the different growth environments that the "Alola Rumble Rock" has both rock and electric attributes!

On the contrary, for Guan Liyuan's Knight Snail, the audience in Carlos exclaimed that the Knight Snail is very rare because of its special evolutionary conditions...
