Pokemon: Pick up Eevee at the start

"We have received your request. The alliance attaches great importance to it, so I will contact you."

Donghuang Qianqian's predecessor, the Fire Heavenly King, said this.

Donghuang has not established a new gymnasium in more than ten or twenty years, so it doesn't take it seriously.

Xia Chen lowered his attitude and said: "I have a preliminary understanding. In fact, I haven't even passed the gym-level assessment yet, so you can tell me what requirements you have for setting up a new gym."

Lian Shuxiang smiled and shook his head, "You are really too humble. With your strength, you won't have any problem participating in the Battle of Heavenly Kings now."

Xia Chen pondered for a moment and said sincerely: "To be honest, if I rely on Guluton, I can indeed participate in this level of battle. I can say that this is my strength, because I conquer Guluton and help it recover. Strength also consumes a lot of time and energy, but... this is not part of my ability as a cultivator."

"Although you may think I'm a bit hypocritical, I still feel that taking me along based on my own reasons is disrespectful to me and all my elves' previous efforts."

Even in the just-concluded World Youth Championship, if they were not facing Dakdo and Darkrai, Xia Chen felt that neither he nor Gu Ledun would let him appear on the battlefield.

If I had to say it, Xia Chen's thoughts could be summed up in one sentence——

"We promise not to use legendary elves first."

You can use it, but you can’t live without it.

Of course, if the strength of one's own elves in the future is infinitely close to that of Guluton, that situation will not matter.

Lian Shuxiang smiled and nodded, looking at Xia Chen with implicit appreciation.

"It's a very clear understanding. From a mental perspective, you do have the qualifications to become a gym leader."

"In that case, I'll be blunt. In terms of strength, the alliance recognizes Guleton, but you know, the unified standard for grading the strength of trainers in the top ten alliances is the shortest board rather than the longest board. Just like Guleton Dun is a legendary trainer, but you are not a legendary trainer. If all six of your elves have such strength, you can be named this."

Taking a sip of tea to moisten his throat, he continued: "The same is true for the gym level. Only six elves at the gym level and above can be a gym level trainer. The alliance's requirements for gym leaders must be high. It must be above the baseline of gym level, that is to say, it must be at least a strong gym level like two or three stars."

"Besides character and strength, there is reputation. I won't talk about that. It's not a problem for you."

"So the alliance is optimistic about you becoming a gym leader. We also expect a gym leader under the age of twenty to appear."

…………

Listening to this long piece of useful information on "How to Become a Gym Leader", Xia Chen nodded repeatedly.

To sum it up simply, everything is ready, and only six powerful Pokémon above the gym level can become a glorious gym leader.

This is simple, it's just a matter of time.

It only took me, Xia Chen, two years to grow from a rookie trainer to a gym-level trainer. How difficult would it be to become a strong gym-level trainer?

Next year, the gym must be opened for it!

Xia Chen was thinking about the future, but Lian Shuxiang's words brought him back to the present.

"By the way, I almost forgot to mention it. Another problem is that the attribute of the gym you want to apply for is the fairy type, but you only have two fairy-type elves. Although the alliance does not have an explicit requirement for this, there are... two. It’s definitely not enough.”

Xia Chen was startled, it seemed to be true.

Except for Xianbu and Gardevoir, who are fairy-type, the remaining elves have various attributes. Three and a half are dragon-type, as well as three ghost-types, two steel-types, and some other miscellaneous ones.

The next burning bug has nothing to do with the fairy system. No matter how you look at it, you don't look like a fairy gym leader.

Xia Chen scratched his head and asked tentatively: "How many more fairies should I cultivate?"

He actually doesn't like to conquer and cultivate too many elves. Although there are many fairy elves that he likes, but because of the reason of "making up the numbers", he is quite opposed to this behavior.

Lian Shuxiang saw his dilemma and pointed him in another direction, "There is another option, and that is [Multi-Attribute Gym]."

"Multi-attribute gym."

Xia Chen murmured to himself, lowering his head and lost in thought.

As we all know, as a place set up by the alliance to hone trainers, most of the gyms have a single attribute as their theme.

But there are not exceptions. For example, the Sanyao Gym in the Hezhong area has three attributes: [Water, Fire, and Grass], which is quite special.

In the Kanto area in the game, the Tokiwa Gym when Qinglu was the gym leader is what Lian Shuxiang calls a "Multi-Attribute Gym".

However, the current gym leader of Joban Gym is still Sakaki, so strictly speaking, there has not been a [multi-attribute gym] in this world.

Opening the world's first multi-attribute gym sounds like a good idea.

"Single-attribute gyms are actually a relic of the old era. At that time, trainers almost all practiced a single attribute, both for resource reasons and for inheritance reasons. However, judging from the current trend, multi-attributes seem to be more mainstream and more popular among modern trainers. The direction of science.”

Lian Shuxiang said: "The alliance has been discussing this gym for a long time. If you are interested, I think they will not refuse to open the world's first multi-attribute gym in the Donghuang area."

The time was right, the place was right, and the people were right. Xia Chen didn't think about it any more and nodded happily.

…………

But before that, there is one last question.

Xia Chen consulted and asked: "So, is there no problem with the Circle Island that I want for the location of the gym?"

Lian Shuxiang put down his tea cup, coughed slightly, glanced up at Xia Chen, and replied: "It is a problem, it is not a problem. Whether it becomes a problem mainly depends on whether you have a problem."

Xia Chen nodded clearly and showed a knowing smile, "There must be no problem on my side. How about letting them discuss such specific issues?"

Lian Shuxiang also smiled knowingly, "Yes, yes, he is indeed a young talent. Let's not talk about those tacky things. Come on, come with me to play two games in the back."

He left the remaining miscellaneous issues to his assistant and the other party's secretary to discuss. The old man and the young man put their arms around each other and walked out of the living room to the battlefield to play more exciting games.

Although Xia Chen gave the elves a week's leave, he is not the kind of rigid person. If there is a real need to fight, he can't stop fighting, right?

The elves had indeed been holding back for several days, and one by one they rushed to sign up to participate in the friendly battle with Lian Shuxiang. Or it might be more appropriately called a "entertainment battle".

Xia Chen selected Zoroark, Doronqi and Sai Fuhao, three elves who had played less often, and had a hearty battle with the former king.

The scene was not one-sided, but the back and forth was extremely intense.

The strength of the elf sent by the opponent is equivalent to that of Daigo's Metagross, which is less than two stars at the gym level——

These are the elves cultivated by Lian Shuxiang after he retired.

As a trainer, cultivating new elves may be a lifelong passion.

Although this king-level trainer did not send out his main force, the powerful strength of his elves and his sophisticated command still made Xia Chen breathless throughout the game.

In the end, after more than ten minutes of fierce fighting, Xia Chen was defeated with a score of 1:3.

And this "entertainment battle" also reflected Xia Chen's current strength. The three elves in the T2 echelon of his team still have a long way to go before they reach the strong gym level.

…………

After arriving in Beijing, the business was barely done, but Xia Chen was not in a hurry to leave.

Assistant Yan Shu was left to discuss follow-up matters such as buying an island in the Alliance Gym Department, and he came to the Qianlong Gym alone.

This time when he came here, his mentality was a little different. He changed from a simple guest to visiting and learning from the perspective of a quasi-library owner.

Qianlong Gym is worthy of being the most famous gym in Donghuang. Although it was last renovated 20 years ago at the beginning of the century, looking at it from a current perspective, the architectural style is still majestic, and the details in the gym also reflect this place. background.

"Brother Xia Chen, why are you still so sneaky?"

A delicate voice suddenly entered the ears of Xia Chen, who was observing the interior of the hall.

Xia Chen smiled knowingly and looked up at the girl with her hands on her hips and an angry look, but her eyes were full of joy.

With his outstanding mental strength, he naturally remembered the day when he first came to Beijing two years ago. It was also here that he was treated as a thief by the second lady of the Qianlong Gym.

Since then, a bad relationship has begun. The bad relationship between Menas and the heterochromatic Hackron.

This moment is just like that moment.

Seeing Long Li, who was the best actor, Xia Chen acted along with her.

With a straight face, he asked, "Are you the gym leader here?"

After reenacting the scene for just a short period, Long Li couldn't hold himself back any longer and burst into laughter.

After suppressing his smile, Long Li hummed and introduced himself: "Although I am not the owner of the museum, I will soon become your school girl."

Xia Chen was surprised, "Didn't you go to Beijing University without going to high school?"

Long Li said matter-of-factly: "It's special enrollment."

Xia Chen nodded suddenly.

I almost forgot that this girl is not only Mr. Jing, but also a second-generation pavilion.

While chatting, the two walked into the gym.

It's July, the beginning of summer vacation, and it's also a time when many students want to overtake in corners.

The business of "Hidden Dragon Battle Advanced Class" is extremely booming, and a large group of newcomers with dragon elves from Shangjing gathered here.

Many people recognized Xia Chen who was passing by, and a few brave ones even gathered around him.

At the age of sixteen or seventeen, it is the time when the second grade is extremely high. Some people come to apprentice, some come to challenge, and some come to express their feelings.

As the second senior sister of the gym, Long Li immediately stopped their harassing behavior and hurriedly led Xia Chen through the training ground and into the interior.

…………

"Now you are in the true sense of the word 'No one in the world knows you'."

In the reception room, Long Yuan took Xia Chen with his two sisters.

We haven’t seen each other for half a year, and the Qianlong Pavilion Master’s hair has turned a few gray.

Xia Chen was a little scared, which made him feel that the position of gym leader was not that easy.

Long Yuan noticed Xia Chen's gaze and smiled mockingly: "Have you noticed it too? I have more and more gray hair now. I will retire as soon as I find a suitable heir."

"How about it, are you interested?"

He still didn't forget to dig into Sirona and Mingyi.

The blush on the faces of the two sisters makes people think.

Xia Chen declined politely: "Speaking of which, I came to Beijing this time just to apply for opening a new gym. As you know, Uncle Long, opening a gym of my own has always been my dream."

Long Yuan looked surprised, "Is it so fast to open a gym? Even the old man agreed?"

Xia Chen explained: "That's right, but the hard power is not enough. We have to wait for the elves to grow for a while."

Long Yuan nodded in understanding, "Congratulations, you have fulfilled your dream. This is something that many people cannot do in their lifetime."

After sighing with emotion, he turned to ask: "By the way, what is the attribute of the gym you are planning to open? It won't be dragon type, right?"

Thinking about it carefully, the attribute with the largest number of elves in Xia Chen's team is actually dragon. Long Yuan's mood is quite subtle.

Xia Chen shook his head and denied: "It's not a dragon type. The current idea is a multi-attribute gym."

Long Yuan was even more surprised for a moment, "This is a road that no one has ever traveled before, and the Alliance can actually pass it."

He suddenly sighed, "Times have changed!"

…………

Qianlong Gym, on the main battlefield.

A fierce competition is going on.

The audience area with not many seats was full of people, squeezing and shoving like dumplings.

This is a scene that is almost never seen in normal gym challenges.

The reason why today is so lively is that the trainer standing on the other side of the battlefield is Xia Chen, who has just won the World Youth Championship!

Who is the most popular trainer in the world recently?

When it comes to Xia Chen, even the most crazed Xiao Heizi can't even say no.

In his hometown of Donghuang, his fame and reputation are even more exaggerated.

According to a popular saying on the Internet, "You may not know who the Donghuang champion is, but you must have heard the name of the World Youth Championship champion Xia Chen."

Xia Chen's sudden visit and battle today really gave the novice trainers studying at Qianlong Gym a big surprise.

Standing on the other side of the battlefield, the person he was fighting against was none other than Long Yue, the eldest lady of the Qianlong Gym.

At the moment, she was looking at the situation on the battlefield, her eyebrows were furrowed, her thin lips were biting lightly, and she looked like a typical disadvantaged side thinking hard about how to break the situation.

She was already 0:2 behind.

Regarding this, none of the junior brothers and sisters who were watching were surprised.

Come on, this is the World Youth Championship champion, the leader of young trainers in the world!

As for their beloved senior sister's condition, no one can even sympathize with her.

They were excitedly discussing the other protagonist of this battle, Xia Chen.

"Wow, I didn't expect Xia Chen to be more handsome in person than in the video!"

"Sai Fuhao is also very handsome. I mean he's handsome with a certain intensity. What should I do if I want to switch to a steel-type specialized trainer?"

"No matter what, I have already reserved a package for a Suo Cai Ling plus 500 gold coins. It is expected to be sent in August."

"Damn it, brother! How did you get it? Can you resell it to me? I'll pay double the price!"

"I bought it from someone else for three times the price, what do you think?"

"Damn it! They're all rich brothers, why don't I just ask for wealth?"

"Let's not talk about Suo Cailing and so on. Why didn't Xia Chen use Gu Ledun?"

"Are you crazy? The three layers of protective shields in Raven Arena are almost blocked. Are you fighting here? You are risking your life!"

…………

It can be found that the audience is discussing Sai Fuhao, Suo Cailing, Gu Ledun, and everything else, but there is no discussion about the game.

It wasn't for any other reason, but because Long Yue basically couldn't make a comeback. What was there to discuss in a game where the outcome was already decided?

Just as the audience expected, on the battlefield, the game was coming to an end.

Saifuhao, who had defeated Kuailong and Qixi Bluebird in succession, panted slightly and looked warily at the strange-looking fossil elf not far away, the Gill Ichthyosaurus.

Both elves were just one last breath away from falling.

After all, Long Yue could not keep her composure and commanded in a cold voice: "Gill Ichthyosaurus, gill bite!"

Having already been challenged by Sai Fuhao by two main elves in a row, she was eager to finish off her opponent.

Otherwise, she would be humiliated and disgraced in front of all her junior brothers and sisters.

Especially the Saifuhao who completed the one-to-three victory was the latest elf that Xia Chen conquered.

No matter how big the gap between the two is now, at least she cannot accept defeat in this situation.

The branchial ichthyosaur breathed in the slightly dusty air on the rocky ground, swinging its strong legs, and launched a final attack on the golden figure not far away.

It understands that this trip will never come back.

After exhausting the last trace of energy in the body, terrifying aqua blue fluctuations brewed in the mouth of the ichthyosaur.

Carrying a desperate momentum, it rushed in front of Sai Fuhao, facing its golden, seemingly indestructible body, and activated its gill bite!

The strong upper and lower jaws were closed, and Sai Fuhao's body made of special metal was cracked.

At the same time, a bright golden light shone where Sai Fuhao was bitten, and countless steel-type energy spewed out from it and poured into the mouth of the ichthyosaur.

boom--

The golden and aqua figures swayed slightly, and then fell down at the same time.

One wears three, 3:1, both die together.

competition is over.

…

Every time I come to the Qianlong Gym, I inevitably end up having a friendly battle with Long Yue.

From one-sided guidance two years ago, to back-and-forth and eventual defeat half a year ago, to now turning the offensive and winning the first victory.

Long Yue is like a scale, recording the exaggerated leaps in strength of Xia Chen and the elves.

"This statement is too much. I have been improving in the past two years, okay?"

Long Yue protested against his father's precise and heart-wrenching metaphor.

Two years ago, she was just a big rookie who had just climbed to the elite level, but now, she is still a little bit close to breaking through to the gym level.

In fact, this is already a pretty good result among normal trainers.

"I know, but there are people like that in this world who cannot be judged by common sense."

Long Yuan looked at Xia Chen's leaving figure and sighed for the first time today.
