Chapter 42: Red Cloud Pavilion
"In terms of enjoyment, it's the city that I like more ......"
At eight o'clock in the morning, the curtains of the room were opened, bathed in the warm sunshine, and Takumi, who got up from the soft bed, stretched lazily and couldn't help but sigh.
Compared to the humble tent in the field, the comfortable bed is always so reluctant.
"When I have money in the future, I must buy a backpack with a lot of space, the kind that is more than enough to stuff into a large bed!"
Poof!
Takumi, who had just opened the door of the room, was talking to himself when he heard the laughter in front of the door and greeted him with some embarrassment.
"Morning, Ah Cheng."
"I said that we would go to the Red Cloud Dao Pavilion in the morning to make an appointment, but you got up so late...... Moreover, this kind of dream really doesn't match your previous performance, I thought your dream was to become a Pokémon Master or something. ”
Winked playfully at Takumi, Ah Cheng pulled Takumi directly to the restaurant in the Pokémon Center, and on the way, he kept counting Takumi's words just now.
"No one stipulates that everyone has only one dream, and the road still has to be walked step by step......"
Takumi shook his head, took Ah Cheng to the service desk of the Pokémon Center, retrieved the recuperated Pokémon from Miss Joy, and wanted to challenge the gym, it would be too unprofessional to bring Pokémon.
By the time all the trivial matters were dealt with and the time had come to nine o'clock in the morning, Tuo Haicai and Ah Cheng walked unhurriedly towards the Hongyun Daoist Hall in the southern district of Hongyun City.
"Generally speaking, a gym only accepts challenges from three trainers a day, just to give the Pokémon in the hands of the gym trainers enough rest."
"Of course, this rule will change depending on the actual situation of each dojo, so it is essential to find out the information of the dojo in advance before challenging each dojo."
"The kind of person who doesn't prepare anything and rushes directly to the gym is either a rookie trainer who has full confidence in his own strength, or he doesn't know anything."
Along the way, Takumi also told Ah Cheng some things he knew, and let Ah Cheng get promoted as a friend.
After all, he is not Ah Cheng's nanny, he has his own way to go, as for Ah Cheng's future, it can only depend on her own creation.
However, Ah Cheng didn't understand what Takumi meant, she just kept nodding her head like a chicken pecking rice, and what Takumi said was simply remembered by her.
His eyes flickered, and Takumi didn't say anything more, and walked straight to the Daoist Hall in Hongyun City.
……
The red-walled building looks like a common maple leaf from the front, and the black net-like veins spreading on the wall are the veins of the entire maple leaf.
"What a big building!"
With his right hand slightly covering his small mouth, Ah Cheng did not hide his shallow knowledge by Tuohai's side at all.
In fact, the most experienced profession in the world is undoubtedly the Pokémon Trainer, as for the life of ordinary people, there are only a handful of places that can travel, and they are basically human activity areas.
"It is indeed a dazzling gym, as a landmark building in Hongyun City, this gym is at least qualified in terms of appearance, as for the inside, we have to wait until we challenge it to know ......"
Takumi, who has the knowledge of two lifetimes, looked at the Red Cloud Daoist Pavilion very calmly, and soon found the gate of the Red Cloud Daoist Pavilion, and he was not verbose, and walked towards the gate of the Daoist Hall first.
"Trainer?"
There was a table under the red steel gate, and a middle-aged woman with a somewhat rich body sat behind the table, and she didn't get up when she saw the arrival of Takumi and Ah Cheng, so she asked lightly.
"That's right, both of us are trainers registered in the Alliance, and we've come to challenge the Red Cloud Gym."
Taking out a form from the drawer of the table, Aunt Fu directly stretched out her right hand and said lightly.
"Trainer ID card, I want to register."
"By the way, there is only one chance left to challenge today, and the remaining one will have to wait until tomorrow to challenge, which of you comes first and who comes last?"
Looking at each other, Takumi put Ah Cheng's ID card in the hand of Aunt Fushi, and said to Ah Cheng with a smile.
"You don't mind if I look at the information first, do you?"
"Huh? Want me to start Pokémon Battle directly? But I won't command the battle, will I be repaired miserably? ”
Blinking his big eyes, Ah Cheng's tone was a little excited and a little tangled.
"No one is born a Pokémon trainer, and if you don't take the first step, you'll never learn to walk."
"Besides, no one rules that each trainer in a gym can only challenge once, if you fail this time, you can just find the field again next time!"
Fueled by Takuha's encouragement, and Aunt Fushi's expression of obvious impatience, Ah Cheng finally nodded.
With a bad face, she recorded the information of Ah Cheng and Takuhai, and Aunt Fu picked up the walkie-talkie that was put aside and said lightly.
"Prepare, there are trainers ready to challenge the gym."
Crunch!
The heavy red steel gate slowly opened, Ah Cheng took a deep breath, glanced at Takumi with a leisurely expression, and walked into the Red Cloud Dao Hall first.
Tuohai also shrugged his shoulders, followed and walked into the gym, for the bad attitude of the rich aunt, Tuohai just didn't see it.
An ordinary person, just by using the power of the owner of the Red Cloud Dao Pavilion, he has seen a large number of trainers, so he takes it for granted that he is also very powerful.
It's as ridiculous as an ordinary money counter who handles too many banknotes and has the illusion that he is very rich.
In an argument with this kind of person, Takumi really felt that it was too cheap.
Walking into the interior of the Red Cloud Dao Pavilion, a young man wearing a waiter's uniform came to the two of them to lead the way, and after leaving the gate for a distance, the young man suddenly spoke.
"I wonder if the two of you are interested in the information of the Gym Master, Mr. Morita?"
Raising his eyebrows, Takumi nodded, and the young waiter suddenly understood that the person in charge between the two was Takumi, and his footsteps moved slightly to Takumi's side, and he seemed to be very embarrassed to say.
"It's not talented, and I've been working in the Red Cloud Gym for almost two years, so I'm still familiar with the Pokémon that Mr. Morita often uses."
"I'm idle and bored, so I sorted out the information about the Pokémon in Mr. Morita's hand......"
Took out a palm-sized cardboard card from his pocket, showed the densely packed words on the card, like the size of a grain of rice, but in less than two seconds, the young waiter took the card back into his palm with great skill, and continued.
"If you want to know more, just pay me 500 yuan for the hard work, and this card is yours!"
Frowning, Takumi simply took out his wallet and made a deal with the young waiter.
While looking at the contents of the card, Takumi asked the more friendly young waiter.
"You're not the only one in this gym doing this intelligence business, right?"
"Master Trainer is really discerning, in fact, we make such a fortune according to the duty time, as for whether to sell it or not, it depends on personal eloquence and luck......
The young waiter nodded, and said this matter without paying attention, it was obvious that this kind of thing was not a secret at all.
"Taught!"
The bland words announced the end of this transaction, and for the next time, the young waiter did not say a word, fulfilling his duty of leading the way, and Takumi could also calm down and discuss the information on the card with Ah Cheng in a whisper.
"Ba Da Butterfly, the last moth, Da Jia."
"These three Pokémon are the Pokémon that are often used by the owner of this Gym, and they are the main opponents that most rookie trainers face."
"And the Flying Mantis, the ace of the gym owner, Mr. Morita, rarely makes a move."
"Even if he encounters a trainer who has earned more than five badges, Mr. Morita usually uses a large needle bee with excellent training to ...... the enemy."
Pouting, Takumi felt as if he had lost this information.
Although there are some commonly used skills written below the information of each Pokémon, just these insect Pokémon in Guandu, Takumi still has a feeling of being deceived.
However, Ah Cheng's question made Takumi instantly realize that he had fallen into a state of taking things for granted again.
"I've seen the big butterfly and the big needle bee, but these moths, big armor, and flying mantises, are they powerful, Tuohai?"
Takumi himself still knows the general information of these Pokémon because of the Pokémon anime he watched in his previous life, but for most trainers in this real world, the Pokémon information he knows is directly proportional to their cultivation experience!
Takumi still remembers a scene in the anime, as the grandson of Dr. Ohki, Xiao Mao, who led Jenny Turtle on a trip, traveled for a year and successfully obtained ten gym badges, but that's it, there are only more than 60 kinds of Pokémon he has seen.
Besides, the more ordinary trainers know about Pokémon in the Alliance's lineage......
After figuring this out, Takumi also took the opportunity to briefly tell Ah Cheng what he knew.
"The Great Armor is very powerful, and the two horn pincers on the top of its head are its most lethal weapons; If you end up with a moth, you can just think of it as a Pokémon similar to the big butterfly, and all kinds of dusting is its most effective attack. ”
While speaking, the young waiter had already brought the two to the competition venue of the gym, and a middle-aged man wearing a suit, a top hat, and a civilized staff in his hand was already standing on the opposite side of the venue.
Knowing that this person should be Morita, the owner of the Red Cloud Dao Pavilion, Takumi did not hide his voice and continued to say to Ah Cheng.
"As for the Flying Mantis, Ah Cheng, you don't have to worry, this kind of powerful Pokémon can't be seen by our two rookie trainers......"
