I don't know if it was out of trust in Takuya as a person, or because of fear and respect for the Tokiwa Gym that towered behind him, the frightened crowd quickly dispersed, and the hapless injured followed Takuya to the hospital with the help of his companions.

Seeing Takuya, who had been expressionless, lead his younger brother and a group of injured people away, Wizil began to comment again, [A disciple of a mere gym has the prestige to quell such a bad incident, I don't know what kind of majesty that Sakaki should have? 】

For some reason, Merlin's mind suddenly flashed to the figures of those dictators who were notorious in history.

Soon, the originally noisy park was calm, and only the messy venue was silently telling about what happened not long ago.

[Do you want to go?] Go to that Joban Gym? 】

"Of course. Since I'm here, I have to go and see it, and it's a wish. After tidying up his appearance and tightening the backpack behind him, Merlin continued in the direction of Tokiwa Gym.

"Speaking of which, where is the Tokiwa Dokan?" He had barely taken a few steps out of the house when Merlin suddenly thought of a fatal problem—he didn't know the way.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Thanks to the people of the GPS, to the people who have the handheld computer, to the people who have opened the real-time map application, and to the grandmother who is enthusiastic about guiding the way.

With the help of countless talented people and geniuses, and under the careful guidance of a warm-hearted and amiable grandmother, Merlin finally found the Joban Gym in the big city of Joban City, and finally came to the holy place in his heart that he once longed for.

"In terms of this appearance alone, Tokiwa Dokan can definitely enter the top ten in the Kanto area, ah no, it should be the top five, right, uh, or the top three?" Umebayashi, who was standing in front of the Tokiwa Gym, was looking at the building in front of him from a "professional" perspective.

"The hall is a steel-concrete structure with limestone as the main structure, well, the white limestone is generally used to look very solemn, and the lower wall is brown to symbolize the earth, which is very decent. There is a large square extending around the hall, which plays a role in beautifying the city, and the towering columns and flower beds are just right, especially this fountain......"

While Merlin commented on the building, Wizil dubbed Merlin's voice in the voice of [ba1aba1a, ba1aba1a] in Merlin's head.

Ignoring the noise in his head, Merlin continued to vomit.

“…… The style of the column is Corinthian column, which symbolizes luxury and opulence and has a strong decorative character. But it doesn't match the gender of the owner and the attributes of the gym, so you should choose the Doric pillar style, and the simple and stout style should be more in line with the Rock Dokan......"

“…… The carving of the handrails is very simple, and it can even be said to be poor, I can't tell what style or genre it is, like the same industrial garbage......"

“…… The water type of the fountain is mushroom-shaped, which makes it look monotonous. The shape of the nozzle is an ironclad tyrannosaurus, which is suitable for the occasion, but the carving and carving are too ordinary, and the selection of materials is not careful......"

“…… The reliefs on the walls are barely worth seeing, and they should be the work of professional masters, but they are not masters at best. The work is too simple, right?,It's just that all the ground-based Pokémon that are common in the Guandu area have been painted.,The shape is also average......"

“…… Oh, these two guards are good, they're strong, but why are you wearing breastplates? Still wearing a crown helmet? And it is also a vertical crown helmet that only high-ranking officers can wear. In order to match the overall style, you should wear bronze armor, and wear that kind of 'muscle armor' to unify the style. How can you stand here in the garb of a conqueror? And he still has a halberd of Helvia in his hand, and the whole thing on his body is pieced together, and there is a difference of more than ten centuries between what he holds in his hand and what he wears on his body! ”

After Merlin's comment, the faces of the two large guards, who were originally shrouded in helmets, seemed to look even darker.

One of them cleared his throat and asked in a gruff voice, "Boy, are you a tourist or a challenger?" ”

"Do you all talk so roughly?" Merlin asked an irrelevant question.

Perhaps because Merlin, who was short and thin and unusually pale, did not look like a threat, the guards took him for a flower in a greenhouse that was kept at home all year round, so they did not drive him away, but answered Merlin's question.

"That's the voice of a real man." The guard on the right replied in a slightly muffled voice, glancing at Merlin as he spoke.

"Stop talking so much nonsense, boy." The guard on the left who spoke first asked, "Are you a tourist who is just a visitor, or a challenger to the gym?" ”

"What about tourists, what about challengers?" Merlin asked rhetorically in a slightly flirtatious gesture and tone.

"If you are a tourist, please stay away from us and go elsewhere to take a good look." The guard on the left said with a slightly cruel smile: "If you are a challenger, you will be blessed, Mr. Takuya is on duty today, and he still has a place to challenge." ”

"Boy, I advise you not to bother us and go play elsewhere." The guard on the right also spoke, "I don't think you look like a trainer, and you're still a minor." Tuoshi, that kid looks much bigger than you. ”

"Yes, that kid is only twelve years old and stronger than you." The guard on the left also said: "Speaking of which, that kid was caught by Mr. Takuya just now, and it seems that he sneaked out to find someone to fight again." By the way, when did he run out? ”

"Who knows, it didn't slip through the main entrance anyway. It wasn't when we were on duty. ”

"Speaking of which, Mr. Takuya also takes the Tuoshi kid too closely, how can the half-grown kid be locked up when he is in the wild."

"That's right. But speaking of which, I heard from Ada that Tuoshi is very talented, and even the boss admires him very much. ”

"Speaking of Boss ......"

The two guards ignored Merlin and began to ramble around.

"Well, I'm here to challenge the Joban Gym, my name is Merlin, I'm from Toyoyoshi Town, this is my trainer card......" Merlin stood somehow between the two chattering guards, holding a trainer card with a red bottom in his hand. This color indicates that his Trainer level is currently at the Novice level, and he has not accumulated any points.

"Uh......" The guard on the right was stunned, but with his eyes, he could still tell the authenticity of this magnetic card. He never expected that such a thin little bit would be a trainer.

"Uh, so you're still a challenger?" The guard on the left suspiciously compares the photo on the magnetic card with Merlin himself, but no matter how you look at it, it is exactly the same.

"That's right, I'm here to challenge the Joban Gym, although I originally wanted to challenge the owner of the hall, Mr. Sakaki, but it's okay if he doesn't have someone to take over." Merlin said solemnly.

On occasions that make Merlin feel relatively insecure, he will disguise himself as a malnourished teenager who seems to be immature and has a soft voice, which is a means for him to protect himself from injury, and this can also play the role of the so-called pig and tiger in some Cheng dù.

"Challenger, since you are here to admire, then you should know that our Tokiwa Gym is very strict and very harsh, I advise you to go to some low-level gyms to accumulate some experience before coming." The guard on the right spoke up and persuaded Merlin, "For example, the famous Hualan Dao Pavilion is very suitable for a novice like you. Or maybe it's a good place to learn something useful. ”

"yes, I'm afraid you'll end up crying. Mr. Takuya's shot is quite heavy, don't accidentally kill your little darling. The guard on the left also persuaded Merlin.

[Killed? It seems that this Takuya doesn't all refer to the name of Tokiwa Dokan. Merlin thought.

Merlin deliberately pretended to be frightened by the guard's words and hesitated for a moment, before answering them: "It's okay, my partners are very strong, and I believe in them." ”

"Alright, well, don't blame us for not warning you if something happened in the end." The guard on the right said with a smirk.

"There are challengers!" The two guards suddenly let out a loud shout, turned around in unison, and pushed open the door of the Tokiwa Gym with great difficulty.

"Please, Merlin, a challenger from Toyoshi Town, you will be greeted by Takuya, the eldest disciple of the Tokiwa Dokan, watch your step, I wish you a smooth challenge." The guards ushered Merlin into the slightly dimly lit hall and saw him off in a majestic voice.

With that, the two guards retreated to the door and slowly closed the heavy door.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

"Please come with me." A young man dressed as a waiter with a torch in his hand stepped out of the shadows and led Merlin onwards.

Nothing to say all the way. Soon, Merlin was led by the waiter to the battle arena in the gym.

The battle arena at Joban Gym is not the size of the standard arena that is common today, but is larger and longer, making the range of battles much wider.

"Are you the challenger?"

Merlin had barely settled down on his side when he heard Takuya's distinctively strong male voice in the darkness, but there seemed to be a slight contempt in his voice.

But he nodded his head and acknowledged his identity.

"Why are those two guys putting anyone in there?" Takuya, who had not yet come out of the darkness, made a burst of voices moving his joints, "Boy, I'll give you a preventive shot in advance, my trial is very difficult and dangerous, if you don't want your Pokémon to be injured or even killed, please give up quickly." When it comes to fighting, I don't know how to keep my hands. ”

As he spoke, Takuya, who was breaking his knuckles, stepped out of the darkness.

At this time, he took off his shirt, revealing a body of strong muscles and green tendons, and there were many scars of different sizes on his chest and arms. Combined with his expressionless face, it only added a little terrifying.

Actually, to be fair, Takuya's long face and thick lips look very honest.

"Then please be merciful." Merlin looked at the side of the field, where a referee in a standard referee uniform was already in place, so he bowed to Takuya, signaling that he could fight.

"It's your choice." Takuya glanced at Merlin and motioned for the referee to begin.

"So now, Merlin, a challenger from Toyoyoshi Town, challenges Takuya, a disciple of Tokiwa Gym, with the gym badge as a bet." The referee raised the red and green flags and made them face Merlin and Takuya respectively, "The rules of the challenge are as follows: the two sides will fight three to three, and the side that has lost the ability to fight all three Pokémon will lose. During this period, only the challenger can change Pokémon at will. ”

The referee raised the flag and rushed forward again, saying, "The Gym side will release the Pokémon first, and the challenger's side will attack first." If there is no objection between the two sides, then the ...... of the game" The referee raised the flag again and at the same time pulled a long cavity: "...... It's officially started! With that, he waved the flag down.

"Try your color first," Takuya took a brown baby ball from behind his waist and enlarged it to a released state, "Come on, Iron Rhinoceros!" With that, he casually threw the Poké Ball onto the field.

[Isn't this the so-called 'Earth Sphere'? Merlin glanced at Takuya's put away Po Ball. It was from this painted Poké Ball that the boy in shorts, who seemed to be called Takushi, released a very large King Nido.

[Did you send a guy with a strong body and a bad mind?] Merlin glanced at the ironclad rhinoceros on the field, its body was stout, the armor on its body shimmered with a healthy glow, and its four small short legs were very thick.

After weighing the constraints of the field, Merlin quickly arranged a tactic to deal with it.

“Bombardment

time！ Merlin took out the ball from behind his waist and threw it towards the arena, "Kaimen, let's wash its face with a water cannon first!" As he spoke, Merlin's right hand snapped his fingers habitually.

As soon as Caiman came out of the release beam of the Pork Ball, a very thick and powerful water cannon shot out, aiming directly at the ironclad rhinoceros who was leisurely on the other side of the field.

Seeing the water cannon approaching, Takuya didn't give any orders, and even he gave people the feeling that he was expecting his iron-armored rhinoceros to be hit.

[There is absolutely fraud. Wizel snapped up.

[I know, but I can only wait and see. Merlin clenched his fists, waiting to see how the ironclad rhinoceros reacted.

Both humans and Pokémon know that the Iron Rhinoceros is a very stupid creature, not only in terms of physical clumsiness, but also in terms of intelligence, after all, you can't expect it to be smart with a brain the size of an orange. But fortunately, after evolving into an iron-armored tyrannosaurus, its intelligence has finally gone from far failing to barely passing, but please note that it is only passing. It probably wasn't until it evolved into the Iron Tyrannosaurus that its IQ could be used, right?

It's stupid, but it's also destructive. This kind of big guy with a shoulder height of about one meter and a weight tonnage is trivial to tear down a building or smash a car. In ancient times, a non-famous general drove a herd of frightened ironclad rhinoceros to break through the siege of the enemy's army, which was several times his own, and even trampled the enemy's city in exchange for a famous victory. But alas, he himself was trampled to death by the ironclad rhinoceros in the process.

Intelligence aside, the Iron Rhinoceros is also a Pokémon that is very popular with trainers, strong, powerful, and destructive, although there is also a risk of injury, but this accident does not stop people from subduing it to almost extinction. Eventually, the Coalition had to conserve it in the wilderness, and it wasn't open for acceptance until it had been bred in large numbers in recent years.

And Takuya dared to let the Iron Armored Rhino suffer the damage caused by the fourfold attribute restraint without dodging, (although to be honest, it is also true that it is difficult to dodge) This undoubtedly has some hole cards.

"Roar~~~"

The water cannon was impartial in the face of the ironclad rhinoceros, and the quadruple restrained attack made the ironclad rhinoceros roar in extreme pain, but Kaimen's water cannon was not the kind of weak attack that quickly lost its stamina, and Kaimen's water cannon continued to output damage after hitting.

"Hmph, it's pretty accurate, and it lasts a long time...... Takuya said in a voice that seems to be squeezed out of his nose, "but it's not enough!" ”

With that, he pulled out a whip from his waist.

"Smack!!" Takuya waved his right hand seemingly casually, and the whip exploded in the air.

As if in response, the ironclad rhinoceros let out a roar, and then it closed its eyes tightly and ran towards Kaimen under the continuous damage caused by the water cannon.

[It turned out to be an animal trainer.] Watching Takuya command Pokémon with a whip, Merlin also judged his origins.

Unlike the immature insect catchers from Nibi City, trainers from Tokiwa have a common name to outsiders - animal trainers, and these trainers who command Pokémon battles with simple but meaningful calls have been feared since ancient times. In particular, their special skill - the technique of using whips to command Pokémon in battle is a magical skill in the eyes of outsiders.

However, today, Tokiwa-born animal trainers rarely use whips to command Pokémon in public - because this behavior is considered by the public to be suspected of mistreating Pokémon - and they have to transfer this ancient skill from the open to the underground to continue to pass it on.

[I should have thought of it a long time ago, isn't Mr. Sakaki an excellent animal trainer? There is no reason why his disciples should not. 】

"Caiman, max output!" Merlin then gave Caimen a battle order.

Caimen, who received the order, stared, and the water cannon that shot out of his mouth became much thicker. A water cannon of this magnitude has also reached Caiman's current limit. Its body and weight also limit the power of its ultimate move in some ways.

"Roar~~" The iron-armored rhinoceros that was hard against the water cannon trick roared.

[Knock it down with a lian? Wizil began to wave his staff officer's own work.

[It's useless, the ironclad rhinoceros has short legs and a low chassis, making it difficult to shake it down. Unless it's a trip that is a bit of a possibility......] Merlin rebuffed Vizl's offer.

This is where the benefits of short legs come in, because of the short legs, the exposed lower limb area of the ironclad rhinoceros is very small, it is difficult to aim and hit, and even if it hits its legs, it is difficult to cause enough damage. At least, it's hard for Caiman to really hurt it now.

In addition to the legs, the ironclad rhinoceros's other life-threatening eyes are also well protected. The current ironclad rhinoceros has its eyes closed, relying entirely on its sense of smell and hearing to maintain its direction, and all those who act are commanded by Takuya's whip.

[I have chosen the wrestling, so I will fight to the end! ] Merlin tugged at the corners of his mouth, [Besides, four times the attribute restraint, I don't believe it can hold up!] 】

It's slow to say, but what happened on the field was in an instant. After all, the entire arena is only sixteen meters long, which is only four meters longer than the standard arena, and this distance is only a matter of breath for the ironclad rhinoceros running up.

Seeing the ironclad rhinoceros shaking the earth and crashing into it, Merlin issued a new command.

"Kaiman, water cannon assist jump!" Merlin frowned slightly, clearly unhappy that Caiman hadn't intercepted the Ironclad Rhino from a safe distance.

Caimen, who received the new instructions, immediately stopped the continued output of the water cannon, and before the ironclad rhinoceros lost its block, he fired a water cannon at the field and jumped into the air with this momentum.

The ironclad rhinoceros that had lost its target did not rush straight towards Merlin because it couldn't stop the car, it turned beautifully under the command of Takuya's whip, and its strong body almost slashed in front of Merlin. Being able to complete this action in a high run also reflects the good level of the ironclad rhinoceros.

"Short water cannon!" Waving his hand to disperse the dust kicked up by the ironclad rhinoceros, Merlin gave another command.

Caiman, who was in mid-air, adjusted his body slightly, and then opened his mouth, and another water cannon shot out, directly hitting the ironclad rhinoceros in the back.

"Roar~~"

The ironclad rhinoceros, which had been brutally attacked, let out another roar.

However, the cannon did not continue to fire as before, but went with one blow.

With the recoil of the water cannon, Kaimen continued to maintain a state in mid-air, and after adjusting his body, another water cannon shot out, causing the ironclad rhinoceros to roar again.

This is called a short connection.

For a moment, the ironclad rhinoceros in the field roared again and again, and although it tried to evade it as much as possible under Takuya's command, it quickly fell to the ground under the baptism of Caiman's high-frequency and high-hit water cannon.

The referee raised the green color that symbolized the Tokiwa Dokan side and began to count silently for five seconds.

The so-called five-second silent count is also the basis for judging whether a Pokémon has lost its ability to fight. When a Pokémon collapses on the field, the referee counts for five seconds, and if it is unable to regain its ability to move after five seconds, it is considered incapacitated, and if it is able to regain its ability to move during this period, the battle continues. In addition, it is not allowed to continue attacking during the referee's silent count, and if you violate it, you will be disqualified from fighting.

[One maximum output, ten short connections. What a terrifying perseverance, body, and endurance ......] Taking this opportunity, Merlin summarized the accumulated trauma of the ironclad rhinoceros, [Excellent straightness, excellent ability to turn around, such a huge body actually made extraordinary evasive moves, worthy of being a Pokémon cultivated by Tokiwa Gym. 】

[It's not the same as being knocked down.] Wizil seemed indifferent.

Soon, five seconds had passed, and the ironclad rhinoceros was still motionless. The referee also took the opportunity to raise the red flag symbolizing the challenger's side, and said loudly: "Takuya's ironclad rhinoceros has lost its ability to fight, so the winner of this round is the challenger Merlin!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Caimen, who had already landed on the ground, burst out in cheers with his paws in his hands.

"Hmph." Takuya spewed out a fierce breath from his nose, put away the whip in his right hand, and took out the treasure ball in his left hand to put back the ironclad rhinoceros that had recovered a little bit of body at this time.

"Not bad......" Takuya threw the ball behind him, and someone seemed to pick it up in the dark.

"You can barely pass the strength test in the first level, although it is an absolute advantage in the attributes." Takuya said, "The initial Pokémon that I received at the beginning of January have reached this level after less than a month of cultivation, so you are quite talented." ”

Takuya twisted his neck to both sides, "The firing power and power of the water cannon's special move are also worthy of the group, and there are no major flaws in the command ability, I think the front background color of your trainer card can be changed, at least it can be changed to blue." ”

The blue undertone represents the junior trainer.

Takuya means that Merlin should be considered a beginner trainer, but according to the current rules of the league, to change the background color of the card, you must accumulate enough points.

"If you win this battle, you can only get the green badge of Tokiwa Dokan for five points, but it will take at least twenty points to change to blue." Merlin pretended to be stupid.

[Do you even record those materials on the trainer card, I'm not called ...... Forget it, it's good to have some information. In his mind, he expressed surprise at the detailed information of the alliance, [Speaking of which, when did he go to check the information? 】

"grading system!" Taku glanced at his lips disdainfully, and said in a very low voice.

This is the biggest facial expression Merlin has ever seen Takuya make.

"I've had enough nonsense, I have to show some real skills." Takuya took out a 'ball of the earth' again, "I can see that you still have strength left, I have to squeeze out all your strength." You know, our Tokiwa Dokan's green badge is not so easy to get! ”

With that, he tossed the Poké Ball again.

Glancing at Takuya's No. 2 player, Merlin signaled to the referee not to change his side.

"So......" Seeing that the two sides were ready, the referee waved the flag again, "...... The battle begins! ”
