Chapter 682: Xiaozhi sets off for Kalos
According to the scheduled itinerary, Lu Ye takes Latias to the nearby Cerulean City for the gym assessment.
"So the Golden Gym has passed the assessment?" Little Latias asked without understanding.
"Yes." Lu Ye replied.
Nancy's father is only the acting gym leader, and until Nancy formally takes the assessment, she will have to stay in Jinhuang City for a few days.
Besides, if we really have a serious battle with Nancy, I'm afraid the entire gym will be in danger.
Nancy's strength is obvious to all. Instead of wasting time in the Golden Gym, it is better to evaluate those gyms that are obviously "slacking off".
I'm talking about you, Water Ballet (crossed out)... Cerulean Gym! "So are we going to Cerulean City now?" Latias became noticeably more lively after getting acquainted.
Lu Ye nodded and said righteously, "Water ballet, bikini, etc. don't matter, the main thing is the gym assessment!"
Arriving at the Hualan Gym, we happened to see the water ballet performance of the three Hualan sisters——
While attracting cheers from the whole room, Xiaoxia stood at the back door of the gym, holding her forehead with her hand, speechless.
As a hobby of the sisters, Xiaoxia had no intention of criticizing it...
But there are obviously four sisters! Is this the same as "there are five of the Four Heavenly Kings"? The Hualan Gym is divided into two areas, the performance exhibition hall and the gym challenge area.
Newcomers to Kanto often underestimate the difficulty of gym challenges because of the reputation of the Cerulean Gym.
In fact, those new players who choose Charmander as their starting Pokémon will face the Water Specialist Misty.
You will understand what the real difficulty of hell is...
Amid the roar of applause from the front hall, Lu Ye walked into the challenge area and saw a newcomer running out of the gym in tears, shouting:
"Pokemon is a lie! Pokémon battles are not fun at all!"
Lu Ye: “…”
Today is another day to discourage new members.
"Teacher Lu, are you the inspector specially appointed by the alliance?"
Xiaoxia was surprised after hearing the news.
"It's a long story... I was asked to do that."
Lu Ye stroked his chin and said, "But, is it the tradition of the gym to start a side business while accepting a challenge?"
Xiaoxia nodded seriously and said, "Yes, Miss Lijia, the commander of Kanto, also opened a perfume shop."
"My sisters decided to open a water show hall out of interest and to maintain the gym!"
"Latti!" A light bulb lit up in the 'invisible' head of Latias.
Strange knowledge has increased! Lu Ye did not feel that it was inappropriate. This was also part of the gym owner's income generation. Besides, maybe the gym owner was just a side job.
Go back and tell the poor girl Ali about it... Let her open a fighting training class. It's better than eating only one tree fruit all day! "So, are you going to fight me next?" Xiaoxia asked in a low voice.
Anyway... knowing that Mr. Lu is the examiner, the feeling of oppression is too strong.
Misty is ready to send out Mega Gyarados, and she will not let the Cerulean Gym be eliminated no matter what!
"No need for that." Lu Ye said, "The water ballet was wonderful, so the gym assessment was passed."
Xiaoxia: ??? "I personally think that spiritual and cultural life is also an important part of the construction of the Kanto Gym."
Lu Ye pushed up his nonexistent glasses and said in a deep voice: "This is exactly what a senior inspector should consider!"
Xiaoxia nodded in confusion.
Latias: (⊙o⊙) I got it! I got it!
After declining the invitation from the Hualan Three Sisters, Lu Ye rode his wind speed dog leisurely in the twilight, muttering to himself:
"At this rate, we can complete the gym assessment in three days."
"I want to try to fight..." Latias whispered the idea.
I'm a jerk, but my Pokémon are so aggressive...
Lu Ye had mixed feelings. He glanced at the navigation on his phone and said, "The next gym is the Dark Gray Gym... Let's try to team up."
"Oh, by the way, there's also the Dead Leaf Gym. We need to test that one carefully!"
** The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the sparkling sea, and a white lighthouse stands on the distant coast.
Lu Ye found an open space and planned to camp outside tonight.
"Geng Gui, please set up the tent~"
“Kou Jie!(￣▽￣)／” Gengar waved his little hand and created a shadow clone.
The clones were busy carrying firewood, building stone stoves, setting up tents...
The orange sunset sank into the sea, the horizon seemed to boil, and the Magikarp jumped out of the golden water.
Lu Ye put on an apron and cooked tonight's food at the stone stove, his eyes falling on the little ones.
"Chachiduyi~(▽)" Pokémon sat quietly on a rock playing games, while Victini stood nearby and watched.
Meloetta sat on the treetop, looked into his eyes, and smiled sweetly: "Melo~"
A hint of dissatisfaction flashed across Fairy Eevee's round blue eyes, and then she looked away: "Eevee!"
The green soldier closed his eyes and listened to the sound of the waves. He seemed to be meditating, but in fact he was being lazy: "Ga... (Θ３Θ)"
Inspired by Cong's guidance, Blastoise focused his eyes and used meditation to practice waveguide again: "Ka-me!ヾ(■_■)"
Latias was also infected by this cozy atmosphere. He lifted his invisibility and moved closer to Lu Ye's boiling pot: "Lati?"
Lu Ye looked at the red plane that leaned next to his arm in surprise, and continued to cut the ingredients, and replied: "Tree fruit soup and rice balls... dessert is energy cubes."
"I don't need it... I just ate wild berries." Latias said awkwardly.
They had just met for less than a day, and it was difficult for Latias to accept food from a stranger.
"Really not eating?"
"No!" Latias said firmly.
Five minutes later.
"Latti~(′▽`〃)" (It's delicious~)
Latias raised his head while floating, soup stained the corners of his mouth, and smiled happily.
Lu Ye smiled slightly and wanted to use a handkerchief to help wipe it, but it was not yet that easy.
He reached out and stroked Sylveon's long ears, handing over a peach fruit cube in his palm.
Fairy Eevee raised her head and stared at Lu Ye, then lowered her head and put it close to her palm, licking it and making a small sound:
"Buyi..."
With his hand on the snow-white and warm back of Fairy Eevee, Lu Ye looked to the side and saw Shakiras sitting alone on the cliff looking at the sunset.
Shakiras, wrapped in a gray shell, squatted dully on the cliff, staring at the gradually darkening sea level.
"Squeak..." Shakiras sighed.
Lu Ye has a new understanding of the quiet little cutie.
According to the practice methods recorded in "The Secret of the Earth", there are also cases where Shakiras completed their evolution in one to three months.
I have even prepared the Mega Stone of Bangiras and a big bag of potato chips...it all depends on when Shakiras will evolve.
"It would be great if Laoban could learn the Cliff Sword."
Lu Ye pondered: "Although it's not a move of our type...but just thinking about it makes me feel it's pretty cool!"
Of course, this move is illegal and can only be considered as an idea.
As the sky gradually darkened, Lu Ye stretched and hid in the tent: "We will go to the Deep Gray Gym tomorrow, everyone should rest early!"
"Xianbu wants to sleep together? I guess it's ok... Togepi wants to sleep too?"
"Wait, Arcanine is too big!"
Finally, Lu Ye was beside the campfire outside the tent, with his head resting on the warm belly of the crouching Windspeed Dog, reading a story to the 'Little Eggshell' in his arms:
"To find dragons and divide gold, look at the winding mountains. Each winding mountain is a challenge... Wait, is this really a comic book?"
"Chajiduyi~()"
As the night deepens, the sky is dotted with brilliant stars.
The strange aurora interweaving with Yuejian Mountain in the distance is said to be the masterpiece of "Alien Pipi".
Lu Ye was not worried about catching a cold. He snuggled into the thick fur of the Windspeed Dog and lay down on his side.
Fairy Eevee curled up in Lu Ye's arms and yawned cutely: "Eevee...(*ω-q)"
Latias looked at the scene with curiosity and confusion, raised his head and stared at the brilliant starry sky, where a meteor was streaking across the sky.
Teacher Lu explained with half-closed eyes: "That is a small meteorite, which is the rations of the Rayquaza... Well, it's strangely dark."
"Lati!" Latias said with a look of admiration.
I learned something new!
…
The next day, the sun rose.
Lu Ye arrived at the Dark Gray Gym riding on the Windy Dog.
"Teacher Lu." Xiao Gang, wearing a yellow-green vest, greeted, "Long time no see!"
At the same time, a group of children rushed out from behind Xiaogang.
“It’s my big brother!”
"Windspeed is so cute, I want to play with it too!"
Windy Dog was startled, looked at the children who gathered around him, and smiled as cutely as he could: "Awoo..."
Lu Ye patted the wind speed dog, told it to take good care of the baby, jumped down and said with a smile:
"I believe you have heard that I am the inspector of this trip."
Xiao Gang nodded and smiled: "Yes, Jiro and I have made sufficient preparations."
"Mr. Lu Ye!" A young man who looked 90% like Xiao Gang bowed deeply and said, "Please!"
"The person taking the test is Jiro?" Lu Ye asked in surprise.
"Yes." Xiaogang's eyes flashed with memories and relief, "This kid said he would share the pressure with me... He said that as long as he could become a gym leader, I could pursue my own dream..."
"Because my brother is so tired!" Jiro interrupted, "He has so many brothers and sisters, and he has to work part-time at the Deep Gray Museum..."
The fourth sister turned around and made a face: "No wonder no one likes my brother."
"We should find a bride for our brother!" Jiulang retorted.
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Xiao Gang's dark face. He scratched his head and smiled awkwardly, "In short... please trouble Teacher Lu to take the test seriously!"
He shoulders the burden of the entire family and is the most reliable gym owner in the entire Kanto.
Xiao Gang is a real man! "I understand... If Jiro passes the test, maybe you can also relieve the pressure." Lu Ye smiled, "Of course, I won't let him go."
Xiao Gang was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Thank you for your help, Teacher Lu!"
Amid the sounds of children playing, Jiro returned to the museum to prepare for the upcoming test.
Lu Ye stood with Xiao Gang, watching his younger brother and sister play the ball-catching game with Windrush.
"They are not afraid of the threat from Arcanine at all," said Lu Ye.
Xiao Gang crossed his arms and raised the corners of his mouth, "It seems that they are having a lot of fun."
"By the way, Mr. Xiaogang," Lu Ye asked, "Can you tell me something about your dream that Jiro mentioned?"
Teacher Lu was a little curious about Xiaogang's dream: to become a Pokémon doctor, a Pokémon breeder, or to find a gentle and virtuous wife...
"My dream..."
Xiao Gang's dark face showed a thoughtful look, then he squinted his eyes and looked at his brother and sister, opened his eyes, and said with a smile: "My dream is to hope that they grow up happily."
Lu Ye: “…”
Is it an illusion?
At that moment just now, I seemed to see Xiaogang's pupils! ?
At this time, the gym assessment is ready, with Lu Ye VS the acting gym leader Jiro.
"Are you willing to obey my command? Latias." Lu Ye looked at the empty side.
Latias slowly appeared, his eyes showing seriousness: "Latti!"
The emotions and beliefs that collided in the Pokémon battles... are the reason why I came out to travel! Lu Ye glanced at Latias's moves:
Self-regeneration, electromagnetic waves, prayers, light walls, reflective walls...
"Very good." Lu Ye raised the corner of his mouth, "I'll let you see the ability of a tactician!"
** In the chat group.
"The inspector specially appointed by the alliance is Mr. Lu?!" Ah Xing's face was filled with despair.
Lijia tilted her head and said, "Well...it does bother me a little."
Qinglu frowned slightly. It was simply wishful thinking for the second team in the gym to defeat Teacher Lu.
But... there shouldn't be any problem passing the assessment.
"Don't worry, as long as we choose the right competition system, passing the assessment will not be a problem!" Ma Zhishi said casually.
Ah Jin sneered and said, "You are the one who should be most panicking, Uncle Ma Zhishi!"
"How is that possible?" Ma Zhishi stared.
At worst, I can use the competition system that I am good at...
Suddenly, Ma Zhishi's face turned grim, realizing that he had also lost to Teacher Lu in a competition system that he was good at.
Even... it's possible that the Withered Leaf Gym will be blown up -
Oh no! We need to get back to the gym and prepare for the test!
Xiao Gang recalled the content of the morning's 'Jiro VS Mr. Lu' assessment.
At that time, Mr. Lu sent out the legendary Pokémon Latias, which really made Xiaogang sweat.
Jiro sent out the Super Armored Rhino, who had learned the tactic of "carrying weak point insurance", but it was powerless in front of Latias.
Even if he succeeded in hitting her with the rock cannon, Latias would instantly use 'Self-Regeneration' to restore her to full health!
However...after testing Jiro's strength, Mr. Lu took Latias back.
"You have already reached the level of a formal gym leader." Lu Ye said with a smile, "Congratulations, Jiro."
The memory freezes on Jiro's excited expression after his daze.
Xiao Gang felt respect and gratitude, and said in the group chat: "Everyone, just play your best."
Xia Bo: "Ohhh! Old man, I'm also burning with anger. It's time to fight the strong head-on!"
Perhaps it frightened the other group members, and the group became silent again.
Until Xiaozhi bubbled up and said frustratedly:
"Today's game...we lost..."
"Lost?" Qinglu was slightly stunned.
"I watched Xiaozhi's match in the Higaki Tournament today." Alice said helplessly: "To be honest, Xiaozhi underestimated his opponent!"
Kuron explained, "After all, no one could have expected that Kotetsu's Riolu would evolve during the game... and according to my statistics, Ash's Pokémon evolve in battle much more often than the average trainer."
Lu Ye was slightly stunned.
Killing people and hurting their hearts, Hei Lian! After all, the "funny contestant" Kotetsu got the wrong protagonist script in the Higaki Tournament, and it was reasonable for him to defeat the underestimating Xiaozhi.
What's more, with Xiaozhi and Hezhong's Baby Cup lineup...
Teacher Lu: "Work harder next year!"
Sirona pondered, "Well... the beginning of next year will be the Miare Conference in Kalos... Xiaozhi, you should still be able to catch up!"
"Teacher Lu... you shouldn't be attending the Miare Conference, right?" Alice asked cautiously.
It would be a lie to say I wasn't moved.
However, at the beginning of the year, I had to go back to Donghuang to challenge the championship. Lu Ye said:
"There is a conflict in schedule, so I won't attend."
Xiao Lan sighed sadly.
Because Mr. Lu did not attend this Higaki Conference, a large number of Quanfu medicines were stockpiled and unsold.
The 'Meow Meow Gold Coin Stall' next door is doing as brisk business as ever.
It seems that we have to change our strategy... to avoid that competitor! As if angry at the student's underestimation of the enemy, Qinglu said coldly:
"@Xiaozhi, hurry back to Pallet Town as soon as possible and prepare for special training."
I just can't believe that a trainer from Pallet Town can't even win a tournament championship! Xiaozhi regrouped, flames dancing in his eyes, and clenched his fists and responded: "Yes!"
Lu Ye looked up at the sky.
Xiaozhi is coming to the Kalos region...
Doesn’t that mean that we will have to face our strong rival Ai Lan again!
"If I want to win the Miare Conference, I really need some special training." Lu Ye murmured.
You can't rest yet, you fool! ...
