Dual-career Pokémon trainer

Purple Corydalis City.

Unlike the previous Inu City that blended into nature, this big city located in the center of the Hoenn region is full of modernity.

As if to perfectly blend in with this modern city, the attributes of the gym here are very suitable for the modern steel jungle.

-----Electrical system

Just like the Coastal Gym in the Sinnoh region that Lin Jing had visited, and Denci and Limone at the Miare Gym in Kalos.

This electric-attribute gym leader from the Hoenn region is also a big shot who has a strong talent for electricity and technology.

Even decades ago, the city of Zijin City did not even exist.

The person who transformed the original area of ​​plains and woods into the modern technological city it is today was the current gym master of Zijin City, Tiexuan.

Thanks to modern technology and the help of Pokémon, within five years, this place, which was originally not even inhabited by Pokémon for unknown reasons, has been transformed into a modern technological city.

"...I really don't know about this. It turns out that the Zijin Gym and Zijin City were actually established by Mr. Tiexuan."

Looking at the building lightning with the alliance certification stamp so close in front of him, Lin Jing was a little surprised.

“You don’t even know these things yet you still want to challenge me.

Anyway, I remind you that although this Mr. Tiexuan...well...uncle does look very friendly.

However, the combat power of Electric-attribute Pokémon is the strongest.

Are you really determined to let all three of them play?"

Listening to Lin Jing's words, Lukia was also speechless.

If she hadn't known about Lin Jing's preparations and been worried that those cute little guys would be beaten too badly, she wouldn't have wanted to say it.

He obviously has so much more experience than me, but he doesn't even know what his opponent has gone through?

This person became famous much earlier than his uncle and teacher.

To be honest, the only ones of his generation now are the Fire King who retired to his hometown in Kamae Town to open a gym, and the Genji King who is still in office.

She remembered their casual conversation when King Genji came to Liuli Dojo to invite the teacher to take over.

It seems that this person could be fully qualified for this position if he didn't feel that the king of pop has to travel everywhere all the time and was too lazy to take the position.

After all, staying in a town and being able to ask the alliance for materials for inventions for development seems to be more interesting to this old man.

Of course, there seems to be something else.

But she felt too bored at the time, so she sneaked away after the tea was served.

In the end, I only found out that the teacher refused to take over.

But it’s no wonder, according to what the teacher said at that time.

'Mr. Genji's main area is the sea.

Although the scenery of the sea is indeed very beautiful, living a wandering life all the time is not suitable for me.

Besides, if the alliance hadn’t repeatedly requested me, and Liuli City was not my hometown, I wouldn’t even be interested in being the museum owner.

After all, too many opponents fight a little too brutally.

Fortunately, the location of Liuli City blocked a lot of traffic, otherwise I wouldn't want to agree to that brat's request.'

-_-||Well...no wonder the teacher said that at that time.

Sometimes those challengers can be really annoying.

"I'm more curious about how long we have to wait...

Didn’t I make an appointment two days ago to come on time? "

Not knowing that Lukia had so many other things on her mind, Lin Jing just wanted to get on with the gym battle as soon as possible.

Although it’s only the third gym.

But don't forget that he still won a regional championship.

So when he made the reservation before, he specifically requested to fight with the gym leader instead of the acting gym leader.

If not for this, he wouldn't have to wait for several days before the gym battle.

.....

At the same time, in the largest mechanical research laboratory in the Zijin Gym.

The steel door slowly opened with a click after scanning the person and the card.

The first thing that appeared in front of the visitor was the back of an old man with white hair, and of course the scattered parts around the old man and the flashing light in front of him that seemed to be welding something from time to time.

At the same time, the big guy who was originally following the old man and whose magnet seemed to be connected to some line saw the person coming and seemed to want to fly over and say hello.

However, after discovering what was on him, he stopped and simply called out.

"keyi~"

"Magneton, thank you for your hard work."

I waved at the big thing in front of me that looked like a flying saucer, and found that the white-haired old man seemed to have not noticed me and was still continuing.

The visitor also shook his head helplessly.

"Teacher, please stop for a moment.

The challenger who made an appointment before has been waiting for you for a while."

Zizzi~~~

"teacher..."

Zizzi~~~

"..."

After calling several times and finding that it was still the same as usual, the assistant with glasses looked helplessly at the self-destructing Magneto who was still helping.

Magneto's eyes rolled around, and after confirming that there was no problem stopping the current progress, the electricity that was being released continuously stopped abruptly.

"Hey! Magneto, what are you doing?

I’m almost there.”

"keyi~"

Ignoring the white-haired old man's anger, Magneto simply pointed behind him with his magnet-like arm.

Only then did the old man turn his head.

At first glance, I saw the assistant with a helpless expression.

"Haha, it's Walter, I was wondering why Magneto suddenly stopped.

So what’s going on?”

The assistant called Walter felt helpless when he saw this old man who was so focused that he had no distractions.

If Magneto hadn't forced a pause, he would have had to wait until the Iron Spin was completed, or if he had suddenly encountered some major difficulty, which would have interrupted this rhythm.

"Teacher...the trainer who made an appointment with you a few days ago has arrived."

"Haha---if we're fighting, can't you just take it for me?

Didn’t I say that I would study this new electronic device carefully during this period of time? "

Tie Xuan smiled as he patted the bright yellow mechanical head, the only thing that could barely make out its shape.

"According to the information, that person was the champion of last year's Shen'ao Lily of the Valley Tournament.

According to the rules, if he specifies and is willing to wait, he can challenge you even if it is the third gym.

And didn’t you agree to this when I told you about it the day before yesterday?”

Walter seemed to be accustomed to explaining Tiexuan's behavior.

"Ahem, is there any?"

Tie Xuan felt a little embarrassed when he heard this.

However, Walter was not surprised at this phenomenon at all and repeated it again.

"Yes... When I reported it to you, you said you knew it.

Then he ignored me.”

"keyi~"

Magneto nodded, indicating that it also remembered the incident as it was present at the time.

Tie Xuan wiped the engine oil off his hands helplessly and finally stood up.

"Okay, okay, old man, I get it.

I'll just go.

Although it's just a regional championship, it's a rare opportunity to stretch my muscles against an opponent like this."

Looking at Tiexuan's appearance, Walter, guessing someone's thoughts, gently pushed his glasses.

“Just to remind you, even though this is the case, the opponent still wants to fight at the normal third gym difficulty.

It should be to train new Pokémon."

"Haha~ It's okay.

Since you know the rules, you still specifically designated me.

Then there should be a good battle.

In that case, please help me get number three.

No, bring the Poké Ball of Team 5 here."

"Number five? I see."

Walter, who knew Tiexuan very well, naturally knew what the number five lineup meant.

Although the difficulty required by the other party is only the third gym.

But it seems that the teacher still attaches great importance to this battle.
