Pokémon: Start as a Pirate!

Most gyms are located in the center of the city, and the Violet Gym in Violet City is no exception.

This is a gym that specializes in electric-attribute Pokémons. From the gym owner to the trainees, all are electric-specialized trainers.

From a distance, the Violet Gym looks more like a super-large power station. The walls of the entire building are painted in a magnificent golden color. There are three huge and thick antennas on the top, like a 100,000-volt lightning decorating the doorplate of the gym, which looks extremely gorgeous.

There is a small square at the entrance of the gym, not because a single gym has much face.

But because most of the official departments and facilities in the entire city are near the gym.

For example, the only TV station in the Hoenn area, "Violet TV", stands next to the gym.

The office workers wearing suits and carrying briefcases are almost all TV station staff.

There were also many people wearing trainer clothes with obvious lightning-like clothing. Most of them were gym staff or apprentices.

"Ding~ Welcome to the Violet Gym!"

Hei Yu just approached the sensor door, and a mechanical welcome sounded beside him.

A young lady who was obviously the receptionist immediately trotted forward, showing a sweet smile, and asked Hei Yu the purpose of coming.

"I'm here to sign up for the gym challenge!"

Hei Yu said it truthfully, and at the same time handed over his alliance identity card for registration.

"So it's the trainer, please rest here for a while, I will arrange a battle for you immediately."

Seeing the identity certificate handed over by Hei Yu, the expression of the receptionist was obviously more respectful.

Although she must have some connections to get this job at the gym front desk, she didn't want to provoke a trainer for nothing, let alone a direct descendant.

"Just now, you seemed surprised to learn that I came to challenge the gym?" Hei Yu was bored and just chatted.

The smile of the lady at the front desk never faded. She was operating the computer in her hand and did not forget to answer: "I thought you were here to visit the gym or to sign up as an apprentice."

Hei Yu nodded thoughtfully and quietly admired the exquisite interior decoration.

A long-standing gym like this is generally a city's scenic spot feature. Therefore, some gyms that want to generate income will provide visiting services.

Just the ticket price and the sale of some souvenirs can make a lot of money.

Of course, most gyms can't bring themselves to do this, but I don't know why the Zijin Gym would open this service.

Judging from the interior decoration and luxury, it doesn't look like they are short of money at all.

"Could it be the gym owner Tiexuan?"

"No matter how short of money you are, there is no need to do something that lowers the face of the gym, right?"

Every gym owner has almost the final say in the gym and has 100% say.

This can be seen from the fact that some gyms are controlled by a huge family behind the scenes for a long time.

Although the alliance nominally unifies all gyms, in reality it only has the right to assess and advise gyms.

The real influence on the next gym successor is still the gym owner's own mind.

In addition, there are also many cases where the son inherits the father's business, such as the Light Red Gym that Hei Yu only thought of last night, and the gym in Fuyan Town that he had challenged before.

"Hello, respected trainer, I have registered for your gym challenge, which is expected to be in two hours."

"Excuse me, which mode do you want to challenge?"

Each gym has its own way of operation, such as the gym that Fuyan Town challenged before. If you only pay the lowest registration fee, you must defeat three apprentices before you can challenge the gym owner.

"I wonder what this Violet Gym is like?"

Hei Yu stood up and walked slowly to the front desk. Looking at the more than a dozen different battle methods displayed on the screen, he secretly thought that there were really many modes.

In addition to some serious battles, there are also some fun battles and entertainment games, which can be said to be very varied.

Of course, the fees are not cheap.

Even if it is just the most basic 1v1 battle with an apprentice, you need to pay a registration fee of 1,000 alliance coins, and you can't get a badge if you win, just a souvenir.

The challenge that can be carried out with gym badges as stakes is at least a 3v3 or above regular game.

"Master trainer, we recommend you to choose difficult mode and elite mode."

"Difficult mode requires a fee of 200,000 alliance coins, and the gym will send advanced apprentices to fight with you. After winning, you can get an electric badge and an ordinary skill disc."

"Elite mode requires a fee of 500,000 alliance coins.Alliance coins, the gym will send out the direct disciple of the owner of Tiexuan, of course, there is also a very small possibility that the owner will personally take action. After winning, you can get the electrical badge and a rare skill disc. "

After the explanation, the lady at the front desk looked at Heiyu with a smile, expecting him to make a choice.

After all, it's all money.

She also has a commission for the gym challenge organized by her. Although it is only 1%, there are a few more generous challengers every day, which is also a considerable expense.

The income brought by this commission is much higher than her fixed salary.

Heiyu frowned and thought to himself: "Is this Zijin gym so short of money? "

Hei Yu also asked about the difference between ordinary skill discs and rare skill discs.

The former are nothing more than low-power skills such as electric ball, electric shock, electric light, and cheek rubbing.

The latter's rare discs are generally replaced by thunder fist, thunder tooth, and volt. Some people have even obtained a skill disc of 100,000 volts in the past.

After thinking about it for a while, Hei Yu chose the difficult mode and fought against the advanced apprentice.

The reason why he didn't choose the elite mode was not because of the lack of 300,000 alliance coins. After all, he still had enough training funds, with more than 2 million.

The reason for not choosing the elite mode was purely because the cost-effectiveness was too low.

500,000 in exchange for a chance to compete with the true disciples of the gym. If you lose, it will all be wasted.

Even if you win and get a skill disc of 100,000 volts, it can't be said to be too profitable. .

After all, 100,000 volts is only worth about 300,000 or 400,000 Alliance Coins in the black market.

As for the so-called opportunity to fight against the gym leader, it is just for fun. At least from the information found on the Internet, no one has seen the Iron Spin gym leader in the gym competition in the past year.

Since all the battle venues in the gym are now full, and even the queue lasts for two hours, Hei Yu did not wait foolishly.

Instead, he visited the gym, and naturally passed by some beautiful viewing points during the period, and also spent a little money to buy souvenirs.

But the only thing that caught Hei Yu's attention was the breeding house. I didn't expect that the Purple Violet Gym actually opened a breeding house.

And on the screen of the breeding house, all of them were electric attribute Pokémon eggs or Pokémon cubs listed for sale.

"Why does the Purple Violet Gym reveal that I am very short of money? Could it be that the construction of the new Purple Violet power plant has started again? "

Hei Yu was puzzled, but he did see some Pokémon that made him excited.

For example, an electric monster.

The final evolution of this Pokémon is the electric attribute Pokémon with the highest racial value known so far.

The racial value of 540 is higher than that of the three starter Pokémons. The only thing that may not be good is the item "Power Amplifier" that needs to be consumed in the second stage of evolution.
