For the eighth badge gym challenge, six Pokémon can be used. In addition to the venue being prepared by the gym, the Pokémon duel is almost equal, except that the challenger has the priority to exchange.
However, for the eighth badge, the gym trainer will normally accept the challenge...
It is very unlikely that the gym owner will personally go into battle for the eighth badge, and even if the gym owner does, he will not try his best if it is only for the eighth badge assessment. It is usually "1vs6" or "2vs6", and it does not apply to the main Pokémon.
The real requirement for ordinary gym owners to show their full strength is when challenging the eleventh badge!
The previous gym owners did not personally take action, but Korne did it personally, probably for two reasons.
Firstly, because there were not many badges before... Eight badges can be said to be a dividing line. If you get the eighth badge, you can participate in the youth group competition, which is basically the minimum qualification line for professional trainers; secondly, because Kernie is still young after all, she is only two or three years older than Guan Liyuan, and even younger than some gym students, so it is not too inconsistent for her to come forward.
At the same time, Guan Liyuan also feels that there should be a more important reason, that is, Kernie herself is looking forward to fighting with Guan Liyuan!
Although there is not much contact, Guan Liyuan can feel that this is a casual girl...
After Guan Liyuan registered six Pokémon, everyone, as always, regarded the Pokémon that was shown as captured in the Xiangxiang Mountains as "Boskodora".
In addition, other Pokémon can be guessed by others. Among them, three are Agile Bug, Shield Sword Monster and Talon that Guan Liyuan often sent out in previous gym battles, and there is also Xiao Nima, who graduated from Daha and Erha and is considered to be the first battle after "returning from school".
Back in Miare City, Fatong gave Guan Liyuan a "Halil" as his initial Pokémon. This was no secret in the Kalos region. Therefore, seeing the information "Miare City, gift", one can guess that it was Bricaron, the final evolution of Halil.
Similarly, the identity of "嘤嘤嘤" is also easy to guess. Although Guan Liyuan has never used 嘤嘤嘤 in a gym battle, the place where she was captured, and before the certification, Guan Liyuan personally admitted that "嘤嘤嘤" would participate in the gym challenge, all explained her identity to everyone... It is precisely because of
this that Korni, as the host, is not favored by most people!
Everyone's expectation for her is just to force out the legendary beast Diancie. Of course, there are also a small number of people who "keenly" believe that the legendary beast that has just "evolved" may not have the strength of a real legendary beast.
It can be said that after Yingyingying "evolved" into Diancie at the Grand Tournament, this gym challenge has been pushed to a higher level of climax.
Countless trainers who want to participate in this Kalos Tournament will almost all come after hearing the news and those who can make it will also pay attention to the broadcast...
After all... This Diancie may also theoretically participate in the Unrestricted Group Pokémon Tournament!
No! Guan Liyuan used the style of Zapdos in the Kanto Tournament before, so it can be said that he will definitely let Diancie participate!
Although this Diancie, when it was still a small diamond, had never participated in a Pokémon duel, it should be considered a Pokémon that specializes in grand performances. Usually, this kind of Pokémon cannot exert its theoretical combat power, but... that is a mythical beast, and even if it only exerts half of its strength, it is not something that ordinary kings can defeat.
Even whether Korne can force out Diancie is still unknown.
Although Korni's strength is enough to secure the position of the official gym leader, Guan Liyuan's other five Pokémon are not so easy to deal with.
Among them, Shieldblade and Bonded Agile Bug have ghost attributes, which are obviously restrained against fighting types. This is also the reason why Agile Bug played and Knight Snail did not.
As for Guan Liyuan's Bacchus... Everyone has become accustomed to this weird Bacchus whose baby is stronger than its mother, and this Bacchus "baby" is getting stronger and stronger. Now basically everyone has tacitly agreed that "Guan Liyuan's Bacchus" is equivalent to "a king + a stronger king"... And
Bricaron, also known as Xiao Nima, and "Boskodora", although there is no official appearance record, the former is Guan Liyuan's Pokémon that has been trained for the longest time in the Kalos region, and it is likely to be a secret weapon. The latter... Huh? Why doesn't the latter have an appearance record?
It must be a coincidence!
Everyone's speculation about "Boskador" has already been taken as reality, but even Boskador is not good news for Korne. Fighting Pokémon are mostly musclemen who are good at physical attacks, and Boskador has a physical defense racial value that ranks in the top five among non-legendary Pokémon. If it mega evolves, it will be tied with Mega Steelix and Kettle, and has the highest physical defense racial value below the legendary Pokémon!
Although it is restrained by the fighting type in terms of attributes, it is still "painful" to fight without special attack skills.
Moreover, once Boskador mega evolves, it will change from dual attributes to single attribute, and the restraint by the fighting type will not be so obvious. The characteristics of Mega Boskador can further offset the restraint... Although
there is no news that Guan Liyuan has obtained the Boskador Mega Stone, who can guarantee that the bonded Boskador will not change its attributes in the same way?
Guan Liyuan himself cannot guarantee it because he has not conquered Boskador!
Three days passed in a flash, and Guan Liyuan was not idle during these three days. He found another primordial beast in the old world. So far... all the alien beasts, at least all the primordial beasts known to the captured Ferome Mantis, have been subdued.
If it weren't for the fact that the "Medusa" part was incomplete and hindered the promotion, the new profession "Meibao" should have reached the super level now...
During these three days, Tomoko had also talked to the Alola Alliance about the eighteen kinds of eternal Z pure crystals.
Although the other party has not agreed yet, judging from Tomoko's reply, the Alola Alliance should have been shaken.
The Alola Alliance was established the latest among all regional alliances, and its structure is different from that of alliances in other regions. Many original titles have been preserved to this day. For example, although the Alola Alliance also has a league champion, the real decision on the affairs of the alliance is made by the island lords of the four islands, who also serve as the four heavenly kings.
Although there are gyms... but the gym leader of the Alola League is not someone who can be promoted by challenging other gyms at random, but is concurrently held by the captain under the island lord.
Normally, there are three ways to obtain the Eternal Z Pure Crystal: one is to win the Alola League Tournament, one is to complete the island tour, and one is to obtain the recognition of the dominant Pokémon...
The latter two methods are similar to the settings of animations and games, but they are not the same. The island tour must be conducted under the auspices of the island king. In theory, a trainer can complete it once on each of the four islands at most. The so-called dominant Pokémon in the Pokémon world refers to the four islands' legendary beasts. Obtaining their recognition is much more difficult than the island tour.
Add to that the two league tournaments for the youth group and the unlimited group, and even if you count them all, a person can only get ten Eternal Z Crystals.
But under normal circumstances, a trainer who can master the power of one Eternal Z Crystal is already an elite, and usually the island kings and captains can only master two or three types...
At this time, although the Alola League has not agreed to Guan Liyuan's request, two of the four island kings have already contacted Solomon, so Solomon thinks that the Alola League's attitude is more "optimistic."
But before this gym challenge, the Eternal Z Crystal will definitely not be able to catch up, and the gym challenge day has come in the blink of an eye...
