Chapter 268: The Days of Being the Owner of the Hualan Dao Pavilion (4)
Running along the road that he had fantasized about many times, Ryota soon saw the tall and old building.
Hualan Dokan!
The gym was standing here before he was born, and it's still there.
"When I become a master trainer in the future, I must also establish my own Hualan Gym and become a person like the owner of the Iizuka Pavilion!"
With a bold tongue and a man who had never fought with another trainer, Ryota walked into the gym - after all, elves cost money to heal their injuries.
Walking through a short passageway, Ryota saw a huge space like a sports field.
"It's huge!" Ryota looked around curiously.
Below it should be a standard water system battle arena, but I don't know why the floating board on the water surface is missing, and there is an additional diving platform on one side.
"Good afternoon! I'm a trainer who came to challenge the Hualan Gym! β
Ryota tried to shout, and the voice echoed through the empty venue.
The security guard in the monitoring room, who was dozing off, was awakened by Ryota's voice and fell out of his chair.
When he came back to his senses and figured out what had happened, he quickly pressed a few buttons on the console.
These buttons are connected to several mobile phones that have been set, and the corresponding message will be sent immediately.
Because it's a challenger, this time it's sent to the professional referees in the gym, as well as Ryuichi, who is the temporary owner of the gym, and of course, the actual bosses, the three Sakura sisters.
Soon, several people arrived one after another.
Sakura sent someone to remove the diving platform by the pool and put up the battle board.
The referee is also a girl, with a very flat figure, short hair, and few expressions.
Long Yi was looking at the challenger.
A very young and reserved person looks very weak.
Should be a rookie trainer.
Long Yi thought so in his heart.
"Are you the challenger?" Ryuyi asked.
Liangtai was amazed by the beauty of the three Hualan sisters, and suddenly heard an inquiry, and then saw a very temperamental boy next to the three sisters step forward.
"Yes...... Yes, my name is Ryota Saito. β
The dragon nodded slightly: "I am the current owner of the Hualan Gym, Miyazaki Ryuichi, the rules of the gym are that each person uses three elves, and only the challenger has the right to change them, no problem, right?" β
"Huh?"
Ryota blinked: "Hey!! β
"What, there's a problem?"
"No, it's not ......" Ryota hurriedly waved his hand, and the sudden change of the gym owner overwhelmed him, and the eyes of this new hall owner were very oppressive, which made Ryota panic terribly.
"Since that's fine, let's get started." Long Yi walked to the main position of the hall and stood up.
Ninety percent of him is now sure that the opposite side is a budding trainer, unless the examiner is an actor. But even if the assessor really has this acting skill, he doesn't need to do it, because the gym owner will use different elves according to the different opponents, and pretending to be a new appearance can't be used as an assessment test at all.
Ryota panicked and ran to the challenger seat on the other side.
The pool is the size of the standard, with five or six long floating boards for non-water elves to stand on.
The referee briefly explained the rules and then announced the start of the game.
Because it is a gym competition, Long Yi needs to come out of the elf first.
"Since it's a new challenge, it's not suitable to use elves that are too strong." Long Yi thought to himself.
After really serving as a gym master, Long Yi found that this position could also teach him a lot.
"My first elf was it!"
A pink and white elf landed in the middle of the door.
"It's a horned goldfish!" Ryota didn't have a guide, but he still recognized the elf, and horned goldfish are very common in the rivers of Hualan City.
"Fortunately, the attributes haven't changed, in this case, let's walk the grass!"
Ryota sent an elf with a dark blue body, cute facial features and feet, and several long blades of grass on the top of his head.
Walking grass, grass-based and poison-based PokΓ©mon, is very common in forests and grasses throughout the Kanto region, and when in danger, it will bury its body in the soil and disguise itself as a normal plant.
Cao Keshui, this is the elf that Ryota specially accepted for the Gym!
As soon as the walking grass appeared, Liangtai's flustered heart finally calmed down a little: "Please, walking grass!" β
"Just let it go." The dragon clasped his hands to his chest.
"Use paralysis powder!"
"Dive into the water to avoid it."
The walking grass shakes out a large yellow powder, but the horned goldfish is in the water, and the paralyzing powder has no effect at all.
Liang is too dumbfounded, this is not the same as saying yes!
"Use Suction!" He hurriedly changed his tricks.
The walking grass emits a stream of green energy, and the energy absorbed can be stretched into the water, which will definitely have an effect in Ryota's opinion this time.
"Use a Corner Strike." The dragon ordered.
The horned goldfish he chose was very ordinary, it could be said that it was so ordinary that it couldn't be more ordinary, but there was only one thing special - this horned goldfish liked to bump into things very much.
It swims around and bumps everywhere when it's idle all day long.,It can be said that the other tricks are a mess.,But it's only the wrestling.,It's already practiced its own characteristics.γ
Bang!
The floating board at the foot of the walking grass shook suddenly, and the suction in use was suddenly broken, and the walking grass swayed from side to side.
"Knock it down."
The continuous angle collision makes the pontoon board shake more violently, and the balance of the walking grass is not good, and it usually sways when walking, let alone walking on this kind of water pontoon.
Soon, the walking grass fell into the pool, and the horned goldfish took the opportunity to attack, and the sharp horns on the top of its head hit the fragile body of the walking grass, causing it to faint and float on the surface of the water with a single blow.
"Walking grass loses the ability to fight!"
"Although the grass elves restrain the water system, they also have to divide the occasion, and no matter how powerful the trick is, it will be in vain if they can't hit the enemy." Long Yi reminded.
From the perspective of attributes, Ryota's choice is not wrong, but he ignores the arena first.
The nature of the Walking Grass makes it unsuitable for fighting in this kind of floating environment, and although it is a grass type, it does not have enough grass skills to play to this advantage.
Second, he ignores the enemy, the horned goldfish knows from the name, it is a kind of water spirit that is good at attacking with horns, and like walking grass, it lacks the best tricks to give full play to the advantages of its own system, so even if you use the ground type, the rock type or even the fire type of elves, it will not have much disadvantage in the face of the horned goldfish.
Ryota, who has cleaned up her mood, released her second elf, which is a little Lada!
Little Lada is Ryota's original elf and his favorite one.
However, although the little Lada is very fast and has a strong bite of the front teeth, the only thing that makes it stronger than the walking grass is that it has better balance, and it doesn't even have any long-range attack ability.
In the face of the horned goldfish attacking from the bottom, the little Lada was simply unable to fight back. After dodging attacks several times through jumping floating boards, he was intercepted directly by the horned goldfish from the halfway, and hit the abdomen with a corner hit, and after falling into the water, he hit continuously and quickly lost his combat ability.
"The same way in battle is the most important thing to do, because it is easy for the enemy to see through and take advantage of it." Ryuichi said.
He doesn't know Ryota's story, and naturally it won't affect his life choices, and what Ryuichi, as the owner of the gym, can do is point out the mistakes he made in the battle and let him grow.
As for whether the challenger listens to it or not, and how much he gains, it is the challenger's own business.
It's only been a few minutes since the start of the match, and Ryota has already lost two elves, and Ryuichi hasn't even suffered a single injury from even the weakest horned goldfish.
"Do you want to abstain?" As soon as Ryuichi saw that Ryota had not released the third elf for a long time, he asked, "It is not a shame to abstain in a match, on the contrary, it is the duty of any trainer to abstain knowing that he cannot win. β
"It's a responsibility to his elves!"
Ryota still has two elves left, one is a flaming sparrow and the other is a supersonic bat, although they are not afraid of being hit by the floating board, but they are also elves who can't effectively attack the horned goldfish.
Coupled with Ryuichi's powerful aura, Ryota, who was hesitating herself, suddenly let out a sigh of relief when she heard this, and let go of the hand holding the PokΓ© Ball.
"I throw in the towel."
The dragon nodded his head and retracted the already exhausted horned goldfish: "Wise choice. β
No matter how weak the elves of the Hualan Gym were, it was not something that a rookie trainer like Ryota could win at will.
Of course, if it is the three Hualan sisters who are in charge, it is not necessarily.
"Thanks for the advice, I'm leaving." Come with a dream and be taught by reality. Ryota, who was holding back tears, bowed deeply, then turned and ran.
Because he kept his head down, he didn't notice that a person was walking in the passage, and he immediately collided with him and sat down on the ground.
"Right...... I'm sorry! Ryota hurriedly stood up and apologized.
It was also a young man, who looked about his age, taller, with short purple hair and a nonchalant expression.
The purple-haired young man glanced at Ryota, walked straight down, and said to Ryuichi, "It's Mr. Ryuichi Miyazaki." β
"You are?" Long Yi asked, feeling that the person who came was a little familiar, and he couldn't remember where he had seen it.
"I'm Shinji from Tobari City, please play elf battle with me."
