Dawn of Pokémon

Gym [Japanese: ジム, English: Gym]

【A place where trainers and Pokémon hone their minds and bodies! 】

————————————————————

Pokémon Gyms are places set up by the Pokémon Alliance in cities around the world to test the abilities of trainers. They are a relatively special education and assessment institution.

The predecessor of the dojo was a dojo opened by a retired trainer in the past to teach training techniques that had been honed over the years.The founders of these dojos are many celebrities, and they are divided into different schools according to their different attributes.It is said that the founder of the Nibi Gym was the Shihan Dai of Rigangan Ryu.

The gyms that have inherited this characteristic have their own attributes that they are good at, and there are still many gyms that are called famous.

The Ministry of Culture of the Union has implemented a gymnasium certification system and issues official licenses based on the ratio of one gymnasium for every 1 children.Large cities with more than [-] children implement a school district system, so many large cities will have multiple gyms.Such as Zhen New Town, a small town with a small population may not open a gym.

The following is a list of some of the functions of the gym:

1. Fight against trainers who come to challenge you

The gym owner needs to fight and guide the trainers who come to challenge them.Badges will be given to trainers who win the challenge or are deemed to be qualified.

One of the necessary requirements to challenge the regional league is to collect eight badges in your region, so most gyms will never go unexplored.This system allows most newcomers to develop comprehensive combat capabilities against different attributes through battles with gym owners.

2. Accept applications from newcomers to receive initial Pokémon, and capture and cultivate wild Pokémon.

For cities with a large number of people, the quotas for Pokémon Centers and Research Institutes are far less than the number of newcomers who set off in the same batch.Therefore, newcomers who fail to apply to the Gosan Family usually submit applications to the local gym, asking for help in taming wild Pokémon around the city.

3. Assist the police station in maintaining urban security

In this society that attaches great importance to cultivating trainers, the gym represents the image and facade of a city.When a major crisis occurs in the city and the police station needs help, it can turn to the local gym for help.If the situation is serious, the museum owner will also need to obey the alliance's dispatch to help maintain law and order or fight against criminals.

Although the official gyms have changed their form and separated from the dojo, many gyms still retain the style of the old dojos. The gym owners will recruit apprentices to teach and open training classes, such as the super power training class in Golden City in the Kanto area. It is quite famous.

Some museum owners also hold the identity of representatives of a certain genre.There are also museum owners who try to create schools by taking advantage of their positions.For example, Fujishu, the master of the martial arts gym in the Fengyuan area, is the head of the [Soft Fist] school.And his senior brother, the fighting king Shiba, is the leader of the [Goken] school.Both of them trained at the Zhanlan City Fighting Gym when they were young, under the tutelage of the master of the Zhanlan Gym, Ah Si.

The operating expenses of the gym are provided by the alliance, and the funds are sufficient, so the gym owner has become a career similar to a civil servant.If you want to become a gym leader, you not only need to obtain professional trainer certification, but also need to obtain a trainer teacher qualification certificate.

The alliance's policies provide many benefits for gym owners. For example, the gym owners of the Hualan Gym have the right to use the Hualan City Gym for performances for free.

Becoming a gym leader can not only receive a higher salary, but gym leaders with higher popularity and strength can also open training classes to earn extra money.Therefore, gym leader has always been a popular job.

The alliance has established a gym owner review system for this purpose. Professional trainers need to pass a strict gym owner examination, and only after passing the gym can they take over the gym.If a gym owner's winning rate for a month is too high or too low, the alliance will re-examine the gym owner's strength and teaching ability.Those who fail the review will have their qualifications revoked.

According to rumors, in order to keep their well-paying jobs, some weak gym owners in remote towns will use money to bribe trainers to deliberately lose games to increase their winning rate and avoid being reviewed - however, these are only rare examples, and they are definitely not the case. Most gym owners hone their skills day and night, and some gym owners are even as strong as the Four Regional Kings.

There is a gym column on the GT forum, where trainers can discuss and rate the leaders of each gym.

Before starting a gym challenge, you need to enter your identity on the battle recorder next to the challenger's seat.The gym owner can browse the trainer's competition experience to determine the trainer's strength, and adjust his own fighting style based on this.Therefore, when facing challengers of different levels, the strength displayed by the museum owner will be different.

Winning the Gym Challenge will earn you bonuses and a skill machine.The bonus for the first challenge is 1500pd, and will increase by 500pd thereafter.Starting from the eighth challenge, all bonuses thereafter are fixed at 5000pd.
