Elven King of Bugs

The next day.

"I haven't seen this soft feeling for a long time."

At seven o'clock in the morning, Bai Chen got up from the bed in the guest room attached to the Elf Center and stretched out.

He had been sleeping in the wild for the past two days, sleeping in a low-quality sleeping bag bought at a low price. Last night, he enjoyed a soft bed again and slept very soundly.

No, he usually gets up around six o'clock for morning exercises, but today he was actually a full hour late.

Then don’t go out for a run today.

"Think about it carefully. I'm going to negotiate the price in the afternoon. If everything goes well, I might set off for EMI Forest right away. It's so dangerous, so you have to reserve enough energy."

Justified and convincing.

After finding a reasonable excuse, Bai Chen was lazy for a while, got up slowly, walked slowly to wash up, and went to the restaurant to order breakfast.

"The time for door-to-door visits is two o'clock in the afternoon, and there are still five or six hours to waste in the morning."

“What to do”

"Training the Styli Bee, you have to ensure that the Styli Bee is in good condition to handle the afternoon commission. I went to visit the History Museum when I came to EMI City. If I don't go to the museum, it doesn't make sense. I'd better go to the gym in EMI City. There is a grass-type gym in EMI City."

While eating breakfast, Bai Chen thought about his morning schedule.

The option of training has been automatically eliminated. The remaining two options are to visit the Landmark History Museum in EMI City and to challenge the EMI Gym.

As an animation fan who has watched countless gym battles, Bai Chen naturally has longed for gym battles.

The establishment of the gym has two purposes. One is to select trainers who have enough level to participate in the regional conference, and the other is to teach some practical skills and experience through battles so that the new trainers can avoid some detours.

For a trainer with a solid foundation, the second one is of little significance unless he shows unparalleled talent and arouses the gym leader's love for talent, making him willing to teach higher-level secrets.

Otherwise, challenging the gym is more like a process to obtain qualifications to participate in the regional conference.

"If we really want to pass on experience and skills, the right way is to spread training among trainers."

Bai Chen couldn't help but complain, but the world worked like this, and there was nothing he could do about it.

Having said that, he will still challenge the gym, firstly to fulfill a childhood dream, and secondly, he also wants to collect eight badges to qualify for the regional conference.

"But I only have one elf, Big Stitch. If I remember correctly, the rules of EMI Gym's gym battle are three versus three. I wonder if pre-registration is required."

If there is no need to register in advance, then Bai Chen only needs to use the Big Needle Bee to penetrate three.

This is not arrogance. Of course Bai Chen cannot compare with the gym leader in terms of hard power, but as long as Caizhong still adheres to the principle of gradual progress, it is impossible to send out too strong elves.

After all, this was Bai Chen's nominally first gym battle. Considering that Bai Chen had just become an official trainer a few days ago, Caizhong would probably think that he was very good.

"But the history museum is also very attractive. Forget it, let's just toss a coin and decide."

Bai Chen decided to leave the choice to Lao Chuang, took out a one-yuan alliance coin, threw it into the sky, waited for the coin to flip a few times in the air, and quickly put it on the back of his right hand and placed it on the palm of his left hand. On top, make sure you can't see the up side of the coin.

"I'll go to the gym for the pattern, and I'll go to the museum for the numbers. That's how I decided."

Remove your left hand and the coin facing up is the pattern.

"Then let's hit the gym."

“I wonder if Caizhong still remembers me?”

EMI Hall.

EMI Gym is a hemispherical building with green vines and moss covering the exterior wall. The combination of natural plants and reinforced concrete gives people a unique but exceptionally harmonious sense of coordination.

Compared to the appearance of the gym, what surprised Bai Chen even more was the area occupied by the EMI Gym.

"If I didn't tell you, I would have thought it was a concert venue or gymnasium or something like that. It's too big."

In addition to the battle arena, the gym also has rooms for the gym owner and staff to live in, and an ecological garden where fighting spirits are cultivated. However, this is still too big.

"It is rumored that most gym leaders will cultivate at least dozens of elves to deal with challengers of different levels. It seems to be true."

In the world of trainers, gym leaders are definitely at a higher level. With the alliance's subsidies and their own deputy positions, they are fully capable of cultivating a large elf army.

Bai Chen didn't know when he would reach this level and expressed strong envy.

Bai Chen is not particularly envious of the number of elves. He follows the path of "valuing the essence but not the many". There is no need to conquer too many elves, but each one must have its own characteristics.

What really makes him envious is the huge resources that the gym leader can mobilize to cultivate dozens of elves at the same time. Bai Chen doesn't even dare to think about it.

Poverty limits my imagination

Bai Chen sighed and walked into the gym without any interest.

"You are the challenger"

As soon as he entered the gym, a big sister wearing sportswear and glasses walked up to her. Judging from her outfit, she seemed to be going out for a run next moment.

"Yes."

Bai Chen nodded and recited silently in his heart:

No need to register to fight the elves, no need to register the elves to fight, no need to register the elves to fight

"Then you are in good luck. Our owner has just planned to go to the forest to conquer the elves. If you come later, I am afraid you will have to sit down and wait."

The girl with glasses smiled, walked behind the counter, and asked Bai Chen to show his trainer certificate and register.

"Hey, you only have one elf, but the battle rules at our EMI Gym are three versus three."

The girl with glasses adjusted her glasses and looked at the message displayed on the screen in disbelief.

That’s it. If you forget your identity information, the number of Pokémon the trainer has will still be displayed.

Bai Chen's heart skipped a beat. He had just completed the identity registration for the Needle Bee at the Elf Center not long ago, but he had forgotten about it so quickly.

"Come back when you have conquered two more elves. Here, I will return the trainer's certificate to you."

The girl with glasses didn't get angry either. Although there were very few stupid young people who came to challenge the gym without checking the rules of the battle, but if you saw more, you would always encounter one or two.

"Isn't it okay to use one against three?"

Bai Chen asked tentatively.

He vaguely remembered that in the Super Wish animated series, there was a strange person who only sent five elves in the six-on-six battle at the regional conference because of a mistake in the rules.

Since such a situation has also occurred in high-level events such as regional conferences, it means that fighting with fewer enemies and more elves should be allowed by the rules.

The girl with glasses looked at Bai Chen strangely, "It's not impossible, but you have to think clearly about the decree. The gym leader is very strong. One against three, you will suffer a lot."

"Well, I figured it out."

Bai Chen breathed a sigh of relief. Since the rules allowed it, it would be no problem.

As for the bespectacled girl's advice, Bai Chen automatically ignored it. The gym leader was indeed very strong, but the problem was that the elves he brought out to deal with the challengers were all weak.

With the strength of the Big Needle Bee, it would be no difficulty to penetrate three at once.

This is also the reason why Bai Chen doesn't mind playing in the gym despite knowing that he might go to the wild in the afternoon. It doesn't take much energy to win against just three weak chickens.

He only came to this gym battle for the gym badge.

"The registration is complete, you wait here, I'll let the owner prepare it."

"Thank you."

Bai Chen took back his trainer certificate and sat on the waiting table when he suddenly thought of a question.

"Since the gym battle is so easy, why didn't I wait until I conquered the new elves before coming back? It's not difficult for the giant needle bee, but it doesn't mean it's not difficult for other elves. If other elves are used, it might be able to play a role in actual combat training."

Bai Chen fell into deep thought.
