Chapter 1003: The Gym Challenge
"I didn't let the Tanigawa Dojo give me dividends, and I really lost ......," Guan Liyuan said as he looked at the audience around him.
"Usually when you challenge for the tenth badge, it's not so lively, is it?" said Salina.
In the past few days, Salina has also gone to the Coordinator Association several times, because the little fire fox itself has good qualifications, and under Salina's careful breeding, although the combat effectiveness is average, but the appearance of the coat luster and other aspects is also very good.
And Salina's little fire fox also enjoys the process of acting and beauty pageants, so yesterday, she has successfully joined the coordinator association.
Of course, this is also related to the appearance of the training, and Sarina's own conditions are also very good, if it were Sakaki, he would not have the opportunity to be a coordinator for Menas—— Guan Liyuan thought.
"It's true that I've seen many battles with nine or ten badges in the Gym in Miare City before, and there aren't so many spectators. Esther nodded.
The challenge of nine or ten badges is no less than the level of the top eight of the league competition, and even in Nazi's Golden Hall, the gym trainers who can cope with the challenge of nine or ten badges are also the most top-notch elites, such as Ah Zi.
Some official gyms that are not too famous, even when there are ten badges, already require the gym owner to sit in person, and you need to make an appointment a week in advance, and there will be a lot of publicity, and Pokémon lovers from nearby towns will come.
"I guess the Tanigawa Gym worked hard to promote it. Guan Liyuan didn't know whether to be helpless or proud.
It's just an ordinary challenge for the first badge, but there is such a big movement, it is estimated that when you really participate in the unlimited group competition, trainers from other regions will come...... Of course, the bigger purpose of their arrival may be the newly opened first house branch in the world.
Probably this is the burden of idols—— Guan Liyuan thought.
"Last year, the Electric Daoist Pavilion in Miyare City was challenged for the eleventh badge once, and it was Citron, the son of the owner of the Limenglei Pavilion, who participated in the battle, and there was even a king-level battle...... It was an audience of this size!" Esther said.
The limit of an ordinary official gym is eleven badges, and if someone challenges the eleventh badge, for ordinary hall owners, it belongs to the category of "kicking the hall"!
Because even if you want to participate in an unrestricted group competition, or enter some ordinary protected areas, you only need ten, and the owner of eleven badges already has some privileges in the alliance, and can enter some special locations.
Usually the eleventh badge, when challenged in the Gym, the challenger must use the native Pokémon to fight.
And for the majority of ordinary gyms, the highest authority is to grant the eleventh badge, and the eleventh badge issued each year is limited in number, once too much is issued, the alliance will conduct a review, and if it is issued because of insufficient strength, it will be revoked from the official gym qualification!
Stronger gyms can issue the twelfth badge, such as the electric system gym in Miare City, if the twelfth badge is challenged, the main force of the hall, Meng Lei, will inevitably fight in person, and exert his full strength, he can get twelve badges, and his strength can basically be determined to be at the level of a heavenly king.
The higher thirteen badges, only the four heavenly kings of the corresponding region are eligible to be issued, such as the current Nazi, the highest fourteenth badge...... It is necessary to apply to the league to challenge for the championship.
Once the latter two situations occur, they usually choose to fight in a no-man's land, because they may spread too widely, and it will not be possible to arrange audiences, but regional TV stations will inevitably broadcast the war situation.
And now Guan Liyuan is only challenging the first badge, and there are actually some small TV cameras in place on the sidelines, from hosts, referees to commentators, and special guests.
At this time, the host has also begun to introduce the two sides of the duel......
"Today, the 19-year-old Mingbo trainer has been studying at the Tanigawa Gym since he was 14 years old, and he is one of the best students in the Tanigawa Gym today, and he is also the new trainer recommended by the Tanigawa Gym to participate in the youth competition this year!"
Guan Liyuan's previous guess was correct, the opponent chosen by the Tanigawa Gym for him did have the strength of eight badges, otherwise the Tanigawa Gym would not have recommended him for a place - in the Carlos Alliance, the students who were recommended by the Gym could directly challenge the eighth badge in other Gyms.
"And Tanigawa Dokan is welcoming a challenger today, and I believe everyone already knows it, so please allow me to introduce it grandly...... That is, he won the championship in the youth group of the Quartz Kanto Contest last year, won the first place in the voting of "the best breeder in my mind" in the World Pokémon Forum, has the world's largest breeding base, the most popular cultivation playground, and won the favor of the two mythical beasts of Lightning Bird and Hupa...... The owner of the first house in the world, Guan Liyuan!"
The host introduced the superstar in a tone, and the audience was indeed very cooperative and cheered.
The Tanigawa Gym is to promote his own gym, and of course, he must introduce Guan Liyuan as strong and excellent as possible.
And Guan Liyuan is now also famous in the Pokémon world, although many trainers and cultivators in the Carlos region and Alola region think that Guan Liyuan's "declaration of winning the championship" is too arrogant, but no one doubts his ability!
After that, the host briefly introduced Guan Liyuan's "Championship Declaration", so that everyone can understand why this game is interesting - if it is Guan Liyuan, who is unrestricted, he will directly release the divine beast, and Twilight will also deliver food in person.
However, the Tanigawa Gym here played a cautious trick, only emphasizing that Guan Liyuan issued a declaration of winning the championship "more than a month ago", and did not say that Guan Liyuan had only started traveling for less than half a month......
"Let's invite the trainers of both sides to appear!"
After the host's introduction, Guan Liyuan and Mingbo both stood on the trainer's high platform in the venue.
The largest dueling venue in the Tanigawa Dojo is presented in the shape of a "bowl", with layers of auditorium around it, and at the bottom of the bowl, it is more special, with the trainers of both sides standing on two or three floors high, and the Pokémon dueling venue below......
There are a lot of thigh-thick metal pillars that are sensitive to electromagnetism in the field, and after the duel begins, the field will turn on the effect of the electromagnetic force field, and the power of the electric system will be stronger in this kind of field.
Because the Pokémon of the gym trainer are all of specific attributes, the rules originally allowed the gym side to arrange an advantageous venue, but in principle, it can only have an advantage over its own attributes, and if the challenger also applies the Pokémon of this attribute, it also enjoys an advantage.
And the advantages should not be too exaggerated, such as the electric system is directly connected to high-voltage electricity on the field, and the water system is not even prepared for floating islands in the pool...... It is absolutely not possible, and the alliance will review it regularly.
"Tanigawa Gym Challenge, the challenger, the owner of the world's first house, the gym party, the gym student Mingbo, in the duel, both sides can play two Pokémon, only the challenger can exchange Pokémon halfway, and the two Pokémon lose their combat effectiveness, or the side that admits defeat loses...... It's game on!"
With the referee's announcement, Guan Liyuan and Mingbo released their Pokémon at the same time......
"Go, Rumblestone!"
"Let's see who's harder...... Knight Snail!"
Mingbo's "rumbling rock" has shorter front paws than ordinary rumbling rocks, and iron sand and iron stone can be seen on the face and chest, and even there is a seemingly electromagnetic cannon launcher on the back.
If people in the Kanto and Johto areas see it, they may feel that this kind of rumble rock is very unfamiliar, but the trainers in the Carlos and Alola areas are actually more familiar with this kind of rumbling rock, which is the "Alola rumbling rock" that has the dual attributes of rock and electricity in different growth environments!
On the contrary, for Guan Liyuan's knight snail, Carlos's audience exclaimed - knight snails are very rare because of special evolutionary conditions......
