Elf, I am really a farmer

In this Pokémon world, gyms are ranked.

Just like the gym in ordinary small cities, such as Chunhua City, it is a third-level gym, also known as a city-level gym.

This kind of gym is very common in every city, and there is even more than one in a big city.

There are more of them, fewer restrictions, and the Pokémon stationed there are basically at the gym level.

Level-three gyms are widely distributed. Generally, there is at least one in a third-tier city, about seven or eight in a second-tier city, and even more in a first-tier city, with more than a dozen.

So, if Wen Qi wants to apply for a third-level gym and has Dr. Chu Feng’s guarantee, there should be no problem.

This third-level gym has many benefits.

If you become a gym leader, that would be a big deal. You would be respected by the people of the entire city and your status would become very high. You could be said to be one of the three giants in the city.

Moreover, the entire city will give 5 million to the gym every year, and will also provide the resources for breeding three gym-level Pokémon.

This is very attractive to those poor trainers.

Many families in small cities have gradually developed by relying on this welfare and eventually become large families in the city.

So, don’t underestimate a gym in a small city. The competition for gym leader every three years is very fierce.

Take Chunhua City for example. The two previous gym leaders were both from the Zhao family. Now the competition for a new term is about to begin, and it is unknown whether the Zhao family can continue to be re-elected.

There are regulations for the competition for these three levels of gyms. Participants cannot be over 50 years old, and their strength cannot exceed the gym level.

The current gym leader of the Zhao family, Zhao Min, is over 50 years old. If he wants to continue to keep his position as gym leader, he can only send other members of the family to participate.

In this case, it is hard to say whether we can win.

If Wen Qi is interested, although his contribution may not be enough, he can also participate in the competition with the guarantee of Dr. Chu Feng.

The next level up is the gym that is famous in a region, such as the gyms in some big cities. This is the second-level gym, also called the regional gym.

There are a total of eighteen such gyms in a region, one for each attribute.

The Pokémon stationed here are basically at the king level.

The requirements to become a regional gym are quite strict.

After all, this has a huge impact on the alliance, so you have to make a great contribution to the alliance to open a second-level gym.

Moreover, there is an assessment every three years. If you fail the assessment, you will be demoted or directly disqualified. It is really strict.

Many second-level gyms are opened by the league's top-level trainers after they retire. Only those who have served in the league as top-level trainers for more than ten years or have made special contributions are qualified to open one.

Moreover, there are only eighteen of them in the entire southwest region. If you want to open a gym of a certain attribute, you not only have to get the consent of the alliance, but you also have to defeat the current gym master of this attribute.

So, although obtaining the qualification to open a business is troublesome, it is still easier than winning the challenge.

After all, there are only 18 gyms in the entire southwest region, so the competition must be fierce!

But if it succeeds, there will be many benefits.

After successfully completing the challenge, you will have three years to develop with peace of mind, without having to accept challenges from others during this period.

In addition, the Southwest Regional Alliance will provide each gym with the resources to cultivate three Elite-level Pokémon, six gym-level cultivation resources, and three gym apprentices, as well as one gym-level resource every year.

If this gym can last for more than ten years, it will be rewarded with one cyan-qualified Pokémon and three green Pokémon every three years, and will also receive a financial subsidy of 30 million per year.

If more people come to challenge the gym every year, the alliance will provide more subsidies, which is also to encourage gym owners to manage the gym well.

The highest level is the national level, which is also the alliance level gym.

There are only eighteen such gyms in the whole country, one for each attribute.

These gyms all have great backgrounds. Many of them were established together with the Alliance and have a history of hundreds of years.

Not only are they powerful, but they also have complicated relationships with the alliance and are very powerful, so they are not easy to mess with.

To become such a first-level gym master, not only must one have a profound foundation, but one's own strength must at least be among the strongest of the Heavenly Kings. Even if one is not as powerful as the Four Heavenly Kings of the region, the difference is not too big.

If you don't have a few quasi-champion level Pokémon, you won't be able to hold on at all.

And generally speaking, the alliance will not cancel these gyms because these families have made special contributions to the alliance.

Even if the heir is not outstanding for a period of time, the alliance will help with management, and when someone who meets the requirements appears in the family, the gym will be returned to them.

This is the alliance's reward and agreement to these families for their support in establishing the alliance.

The treatment of this level of gym is even more generous. There are 10 king-level cultivation resources per year, and 200 million monetary subsidies. Every year, there is one blue-quality Pokémon and three green-quality Pokémon. Every ten years, you can also use contribution points to exchange for a blue-quality Pokémon in the alliance (except for quasi-gods).

However, for these ancient gyms, money is a small matter. After all, they basically have their own businesses and are not short of money. Instead, they value those king-level resources and those Pokémon with rare qualifications more.

Moreover, among these ancient gyms, there are some more outstanding ones, each with its own secret realm, and there are many Pokémon with excellent qualifications.

With the secret realm, their family will be able to produce many strong people. Even if they cannot produce champion-level trainers in every generation, it is relatively easy to cultivate king-level trainers, and there will be no problem in maintaining the family business.

There is a rule here that if you can get eight level three gym badges, you can participate in the regional competition; if you get eight level two gym badges, you can participate in the national conference; if you can get eight level one badges, you will be eligible to participate in the world competition held every four years.

However, there are age limits for each level of competition.

Regional competitions are basically youth competitions, and participants must not be over 30 years old.

There are also restrictions for national competitions, basically the age cannot be over 40 years old.

The requirements for the World Series are stricter, and the age cannot be over 50 years old.

After all, in these important competitions, if you haven't reached the gym level by the age of 30, you basically have no potential, and there is little point in continuing to train you.

The same is true if you haven't reached the king level by the age of forty.

If you can't become a king-level powerhouse before the age of fifty, and can't enter the champion reserve team, then there is no need to train you. This is the regulation of the World Alliance and is in line with the law of growth of the world's strong.

Generally speaking, a truly strong person becomes a gym-level trainer in his twenties, a king-level trainer in his thirties, and a king-level powerhouse in his forties, striving for the championship.

Becoming a champion-level trainer around the age of fifty is the only way to have a hope of becoming the foundation of the league, becoming a master-level trainer, or even a head trainer, during one’s lifetime.

If these standards are not met, the alliance will not train them.

And there is another advantage of becoming a master-level trainer. You can share your life with your most loyal Pokémon.

Even if there will be some losses, it is no problem for a master-level trainer to live for two or three hundred years.

But even with such benefits, there will be no more than ten master-level trainers in the entire world, and there are only about three in the Yanhuang Alliance. These are the treasures of the alliance and the foundation of the entire alliance.

It's a pity that with such a large base of trainers, it is relatively easy for a master-level trainer to appear, with one appearing every few years, but a leader-level trainer is very rare.

The main reason is that human lifespan is too short, and those master-level trainers are considered long-lived if they can live to be a hundred years old.

If humans could live another twenty or thirty years, there might be more master-level trainers.

Unfortunately, in this world of Pokémon, longevity is also a very difficult thing. Now only some legendary beasts can achieve longevity, but legendary beasts are hard to come by, so there are so few master-level trainers.
