Pokémon: Rise of the Orange League

On the second floor of the Liugan Hotel, Liuli stood quietly in front of the window, looking along the windowsill to the training ground on the first floor. Her eyes revealed a hint of complex emotions.

On the training ground, a young trainer was fighting fiercely with his Pokémon. His movements were agile and skillful, and every attack was full of power. However, Liuli's focus was not on this wonderful battle, but on the boy Koji who was watching beside the field-her son.

Her face looked a little lost, and her eyes flashed with worry and helplessness. By observing her son's expression and behavior, she was able to understand his determination. Although she had thousands of reluctances in her heart, she also understood that her son needed to pursue his dreams and explore a wider world.

"It's good to go out, at least I can see the outside world." Liuli whispered to herself, with a hint of relief in her voice.

As the northern star of the Southern Cross, Liugan Gym is famous for its unique challenge rules. The doubles battles here require trainers to have not only outstanding personal strength, but also good team coordination skills. Doubles are different from singles, and different tactics and command methods are needed to win. Although many Pokémon do not have outstanding combat capabilities, they often have unexpected effects when they appear as auxiliary in doubles.

You should know that for a long time, doubles were prohibited in the Kanto region (this is the official animation setting, not the second setting.). This made many trainers from the Kanto region feel very difficult when facing the challenge of the Liugan Gym. They are used to the singles battle mode and lack experience in doubles, which requires close cooperation between two Pokémon on the field. Therefore, a large number of trainers from other regions failed in their challenges here.

Over time, the reputation of Liugan Gym as the strongest gym in the Orange League became more and more popular.

After finishing training, Lu Wu returned to the luxury suite and took a shower.

"Please help me make an appointment for the earliest gym challenge."

Lu Wu said to the administrator guarding the door.

"Okay, I'll arrange it for you right away."

There are reasons why the Liugan Gym has been so popular for so long, not only because of its unique geographical location, but also because of their gym management philosophy.

They are very good at making money!

Generally speaking, trainers can directly fight against the gym owner when they enter the gym.

Their gym challenges require reservations.

However, because the Liugan Gym provides challengers with excellent living environment and training conditions for free, most trainers have no complaints about this model.

They will use this adjustable time to promote on Liugan Island and build momentum for those trainers they think have potential.

The competition can attract tourists on the island to be active. For this kind of challenge competition that is usually held in a closed venue, most ordinary tourists have no chance to see it. The Liugan Gym will move this game to their venue on the seaside.

If the challenger wins, then the trainer who successfully gains fame in this battle will thank the Liugan Gym for organizing this outdoor duel.

The gym leader won, and the reputation of their Liugan Gym as the strongest gym left an impression on the tourists.

Win-win! Liugan Gym can win no matter what.

The administrator returned soon.

"Mr. Luwu, how about tomorrow morning? If it is not convenient, we can adjust it."

"Sure, please prepare two portions of Snorlax's Pokémon food for me."

"Okay, the service staff will deliver it later."

After fulfilling the extra meal for Snorlax, Luwu borrowed the hotel's communication machine to contact Penggan Island.

After learning about the recent situation there with Alu, Luwu returned to the suite.

The next morning, Luwu got up on time under the influence of his biological clock, brought all his Pokémon to the training circle on the first floor, and started warming up before the game.

Liuli is a gym leader-level trainer with a whole team of Pokémon above the gym leader level. Although the doubles battle only needs to deal with two of them, Liuli's Pokémon must have been accustomed to this kind of doubles battle for a long time.

Luwu's Pokémon is slightly inferior in terms of hard power, and he doesn't play doubles very often.

"Our tactic is quick attack! Don't worry about the opponent's tactics, just play our own well." Luwu said while helping Frog to relax his muscles.

In the Pokémon world, the most effective tactic is quick attack, which is simple and crude, but easy to use.

There are many classic cases of random punches killing masters.

"Swim!" Frog nodded. After it entered the gym leader level, its strength increased rapidly. Now it needs a strong opponent to test its recent training results.

"Roar?" Circle Bear pointed atHimself.

It thought Luwu was planning to let the Armored Bird play, after all, the Armored Bird has the ability to fly, and can have better coordination with the Fast Swim Frog fighting on the ground.

"This is your chance, seize it, and impact the gym leader level!" Luwu smiled and patted the Circle Bear on the shoulder.

Since the Fast Swim Frog was promoted to the gym leader level, this guy has been training harder and harder, and has now reached the quasi-gym leader level.

Moreover, its fighting style is different from that of the Fast Swim Frog. The Fast Swim Frog is more often in a guerrilla style of fighting with the opponent to find opportunities.

And the Circle Bear is just one word, reckless!

With perseverance, close your eyes and output.

This style is destined to make it more susceptible to serious injuries in battle, but it also has the best chance of being promoted in battle.

After the warm-up, Luwu quickly cleaned off the sweat on his body, and then took the Fast Swim Frog and Circle Bear to the beach of Liugan Island to participate in the gym challenge this morning.

When they arrived, they found that the responsible gym apprentices had already built the battle stand for today. Ms. Liuli had arrived earlier and was quietly waiting on the field over there.

Under the guidance of the gym staff, Luwu passed through the crowd of spectators who were surrounded by three layers of people and successfully arrived at the command area of ​​the open-air battle field. "Mr. Luwu, please take a rest and adjust yourself in this area first, the challenge is about to begin." The accompanying staff reminded him kindly.

As the referee's crisp whistle rang through the venue, a gym apprentice in a standard referee uniform stood in the center of the field with vigor and began to read out the rules of the game loudly: "Warmly welcome all friends to come and watch this gym challenge. Our challenger today is Mr. Luwu from Penggan Island. The challenge rules of this gym are doubles, so now, I solemnly declare that the game officially begins!"

As the starting whistle sounded, Luwu quickly sent out Frog and Kumamoto.

As expected, Liuli sent out Alakazam and Galagala.
