"Liyuan! You got up too late, didn't you? Didn't you say you were going to start your 'travel' today?" Xiaoxia said to Guan Liyuan who had just gotten up, dissatisfied.

"Go? Who said we were going to start today?" Guan Liyuan pretended to be confused.

Sure enough, Xiaoxia immediately glared at him angrily. If there was no reasonable explanation, she would probably take out the Poké Ball and soak him to the ground...

"I mean, starting from today, we will start challenging gyms, collecting badges, and catching wild Pokémon along the way!" Guan Liyuan said. "

Huh? Why don't you go today? Don't you go find wild Pokémon and official gyms? They will come to you by themselves... Ah! You want to challenge..." Xiaoxia suddenly understood what Guan Liyuan meant, and couldn't help but exclaimed.

"That's right, isn't there a gym in Cerulean City? Why should I go far away... Wouldn't it be better to get this Cerulean badge first?" Guan Liyuan said.

Guan Liyuan was eyeing the grass-type gym of the three Cerulean sisters!

Previously, because the fire-type gym of the owner of the Explosion was on the verge of losing its qualification, even if they challenged it, it would most

likely fail. Therefore, most trainers in Cerulean City ignored the gym of Explosion... Now that the three sisters of Cerulean have just obtained the qualification of the official gym, they are in the limelight, so they can challenge it normally without worrying about the problem of invalidation of qualification .

"Did you tell them yesterday that you would challenge it today?" Xiaoxia asked in confusion.

"No... This is only the second badge, there is no need to alarm the gym owner, right?" Guan Liyuan said as a matter of course.

The difficulty of the first gym challenge is equivalent to "queueing for a physical examination". Guan Liyuan still remembers that the difficulty of the second badge will be higher than the first one, but not much higher!

In the Kanto region, the difficulty of obtaining the first eight badges of a trainer has no direct relationship with the strength of the gym itself...

Even the weakest official gym owner has one or two king Pokémon in his hands. If they really try their best, it is estimated that by the time of the Quartz Conference, few people will be able to enter, or even none.

However, the official gym’s responsibility in issuing badges is to screen and preliminarily select the new generation of trainers who are eligible to enter the “Quartz Competition” for the alliance, and provide some training for the new generation of trainers!

For the official gym, it is not the case that the fewer badges issued in a year, the more successful it is...

but the performance of the trainers who get the badges must be comprehensively considered

. For example, the champion of the Quartz Competition and the top few excellent trainers, the eight badges they have obtained will add points to the evaluation of the official gym. On the contrary... when some trainers who are obviously not strong enough check the badge records, the alliance will check whether the official gym has fulfilled its duties, especially the gym that provided the seventh and eighth badges!

In addition, some old official gyms will provide special training for trainers who have not won the gym duel. If the training is successful and the trainer’s ability is significantly improved, it will also become a "plus point".

Therefore, the difficulty setting of each level of the gym should not be too high or too low...

Usually, the first eight badges are set by the gym at ordinary times, which is a regular challenge. Eight badges are also the minimum standard for participating in the "Quartz Competition". If there are more than eight badges, it means that the trainer has some other authority requirements, such as entering some specific areas... Therefore, the difficulty will increase sharply!

"That shouldn't happen, although they are not ready to be an official gym at all..." Xiaoxia still seems to mind.

That's right, the early "giving way" of the explosion also caught the three sisters off guard. The gym trainers of the "Hua Lan Gym" are obviously insufficient now, and they are not even enough to deal with too many trainers who come to challenge the badges. Fortunately ,

the situation in Hua Lan City was special before, and there were not many trainers who came to challenge...

When the number of trainers who came here gradually increased, I think the three sisters have recruited enough gym trainers.

The only thing that makes the three sisters uncomfortable is that they have to stay at the original site of the "Garden Gym" for the time being. I don't know when Guan Liyuan will "retreat when he knows the difficulty."

"Let's go! Let's go and kill their arrogance... They've been so arrogant lately!" Xiaoxia patted Guan Liyuan on the back and urged him repeatedly.

Guan Liyuan saw that she had changed her previous depressed look because she couldn't go on a "trip" and was eager to try, and he couldn't help but smile in his heart.

In fact, the three sisters didn't show off their arrogance. In the past half month, they were busy and hadn't seen anyone. How could they have the time to be "arrogant"?

Well, at most, it was just Acorus, who did have some ostentatious intentions, but she could only be happy until her two sisters "caught" her back.

As for "killing their arrogance", it was even more impossible!

The official gym is to assess and select, and "give" badges to trainers who meet the requirements. Regardless of winning or losing, how can you lose your arrogance?

Unless you have already obtained more than ten badges, you are ready to kick the gym, force out the other side's gym leader, and then fight and win. That's "killing your arrogance"!

But Guan Liyuan was just going to get his second badge, how could he meet the other side's gym leader?

Although the current "Hualan Gym" is not yet ready, even its predecessor, the "Garden Gym", is the second largest gym in Hualan City and the largest unofficial folk gym. How could it not even be able to deal with a trainer with a "second badge"?

However, Guan Liyuan knew that Xiaoxia was just speaking in anger and would not refute. Instead, he said, "Don't worry, I'm the owner of the world's number one gym, and they will definitely come out to fight in person."

"Tsk, it's the world's number one gym that hasn't opened yet... Besides, after it opens, it might be the world's number one money-losing gym, and the gym owner will come out to fight in person..."

Xiaoxia was just about to refute, but suddenly saw Guan Liyuan blinking at her. Only then did she realize that Guan Liyuan was deliberately teasing her, and she couldn't help but said angrily, "You, you... annoying!"

"Hahaha..."

The two went to the "New Hualan Gym" while playing around. Xiaoxia tried her best to resist the urge to throw paint at her door, and went in with Guan Liyuan to sign up first.

Of course, after discovering some chaos in the new official gym due to insufficient manpower, Xiaoxia naturally complained mercilessly.

An hour later, Guan Liyuan was finally brought to a Pokémon battle arena, and the one who appeared opposite him was...

"Acorus?" Guan Liyuan looked at the opposite side with a "beep" in pain, and a purple long skirt sounded, and smiled at his "third gym leader".

Xiaoxia and Guan Liyuan were also confused... How could it be that the other gym leader really took up the challenge? Even

if there was a shortage of manpower, it shouldn't be so miserable, right?

"Liyuan, even if you know me, I can't be waterproof!" Acorus said seriously.

"Ahem... I don't need to let him win, but Gym Leader Acorus, I just want to take the second badge, and you come out in person, isn't that a bit..." Guan Liyuan said helplessly.

Xiaoxia certainly would not miss this opportunity to be sarcastic, and said disdainfully: "Well, the second badge was taken by the third gym leader, the third was taken by the second gym leader Peony, the fourth was taken by the gym leader Sakura... The fifth was probably taken by three people together, and the sixth and above were taken at will."

"You are talking nonsense!

Only your badges can be taken at will!" Acorus said angrily. "When my old man was here, he didn't attack the challengers who came for the first eight badges." Xiaoxia retorted.

"Who said I was going to attack? If we really fight, he is certainly not my opponent! I just want to... test him! How about this, I will only use one Pokémon, and you can exchange the Pokémon on the field at will, as many times as you want... If all six Pokémon lose, then go back and practice again." Acorus said.

"Okay, then Iris, you should release your Pokémon first." Guan Liyuan said.

In fact, according to Iris's "assessment" method, if she really took out her trump card, the difficulty would definitely be much higher than the "second badge".

But now that she is the gym leader, how to assess and whether to give Guan Liyuan the badge is up to her.

Moreover... Iris looks only ten years old. Although she is nominally the "third gym leader", the official gym leader of the current grass-type Hualan Gym is her eldest sister Sakura. It was Sakura who was able to fight with Explosion in a fair "6vs6" duel, and when the "grass-type" was restrained by the "fire-type", she still defeated Explosion's four Pokémon and forced all six of its Pokémon out before losing! Guan Liyuan

thought, Sakura has a ten-pointer and a king-level grass-type Pokémon, but Iris... the trump card is estimated to have a combat power of only 40,000 to 50,000. Otherwise, if the three sisters could gather more than three kings, they could have replaced the previous Explosion gym leader long ago. Why would they wait until now?

Forty thousand... Guan Liyuan's Pterosaur has also exceeded forty thousand, and Picosi and Gengar have thirty-five thousand. If the bond evolution is used, the individual correction rate will increase by about one-third. By then, the combat power of the Pterosaur will directly exceed fifty thousand, reaching the quasi-king level, and Picosi and Gengar will also be close to fifty thousand.

Moreover, the "flying type" Pterosaur also restrains the "grass type"!

If it is "1vs1", Guan Liyuan estimates that he has a sixty to seventy percent chance of winning, and if it is "6vs1", Guan Liyuan feels that he has a "big advantage"...

"Hehe, that's all the cleverness... Come out! Venusaur!" Iris laughed wickedly and released her trump card, which is also her original Pokémon - "Vulpes" evolved from the three major Pokémon in Kanto - Bulbasaur!

Just now, Acorus was really worried that Guan Liyuan would never fight her...

When she was slacking off before, she happened to find Guan Liyuan and Xiaoxia signing up, and heard Xiaoxia constantly despising "this gym is not formal", and thinking of Guan Liyuan's attitude yesterday, she felt particularly unhappy for a while!

With a turn of her eyes, she decided to teach them a lesson without telling her sister!

That's right, of course, she had to hide it from her sister, otherwise if Sakura and Peony knew that someone came to challenge the second badge, the third sister would come out in person... They would definitely stop her, and she would inevitably be nagged by her two sisters afterwards. Therefore, Acorus was

also worried that Guan Liyuan would really "yell" and be called by the two sisters!

As for after teaching Guan Liyuan a lesson?

Acorus thought so in her heart.

As for whether she would lose in a one-on-six match?

Acorus also felt that she had a great advantage...

"Liyuan, why do I feel that the momentum of this Venusaur is a bit unusual?" Xiaoxia said with a dark face.

Aside from Mega Dragonite Kaoparis, Xiaoxia knew all of Guan Liyuan's other Pokémon. Even she was upset. Apparently, this Venusaur...

Guan Liyuan suddenly felt like he was being targeted by the whole world...

What happened to the big advantage he said he had?

What the hell was the second badge about challenging a "suspected" king-level Pokémon?
