On the first day of coming to Hinoki Town, because the official gym is not far from the Pokémon Center, Eminem went to the gym to prepare for registration after having lunch nearby.

Seventh badge......

For new trainers, it's already difficult!

Although Zhishi doesn't like bugs, he doesn't have a lot of disgust with insect Pokémon, so he also came to the "Insect Gym" along the way, which is also called the "Lian Chop Gym" when it is not an official gym.

As the name suggests, it is a dojo that specializes in teaching [Lian Chop].

[Combo Slash] is an insect-based skill, but some non-insect-based slashing to Pokémon can also learn this trick, so it is actually a relatively broad gym in terms of attributes.

Insect skills, in addition to those that can be used by pure insect bodies, also contain images of "fright" and "weakness strikes".

[Combo Slash] belongs to the latter!

By constantly stacking attacks, the power is stronger and stronger each time, but ......

It's hard to control, and it's a difficult skill!

The owner of the pavilion, Ah Bi, is the youngest among the twelve star pavilion owners in the Johto area, less than twenty years old, and he is also one of the youngest twelve star pavilion owners in the world.

After entering the gym, you will also find that there are a lot of insect decorations and souvenirs here, but these Eminem are naturally not interested, at most they are moved...... Do you want to buy a key chain for Xiaoxia?

But it's just a thought.

When he came to the gym, Eminem already felt that something was "wrong", although he was not cold, but ...... How can there be so few people who sign up to challenge here?

"No, the gym here is about to expire, right?" Sakura asked worriedly.

"Probably not...... Although the owner of the pen pavilion is also very young, his strength has been tested, and now the world ranking is still among the top 100, so I haven't heard of changing it. Eminem also said in wonder at this time.

In the end, Eminem decided, "Just ask." ”

The people who signed up here were also surprised when they saw Eminem, but they still explained it to him......

"Insect trap?" Eminem was stunned when he heard this.

"Well, that's right, on February 1st, that is, tomorrow, within the demarcated area of the Bug Forest, there will be a Bug Hunting Contest, and there will be rewards according to the ranking, including badges...... The seventh badge can be obtained by finishing in the top sixteen.

"The trainers of the gym are basically busy competing, so they won't receive additional gym challenges in the past two days, you can try to participate in the insect trapping competition, if you don't want to participate, it doesn't matter, you can sign up for the normal badge challenge after tomorrow."

The staff at the registration point explained the reason to Eminem.

The "Insect Trapping Contest" is a traditional event in Hinoki Town, which is held once a year at a different time, and the town's authoritative insect trainers evaluate the breeding of surrounding insect Pokémon in real time, and then decide the date three days in advance......

Because of this, it is inconvenient for people from other places to participate, so the project is not very popular, and it is not too famous.

Especially this year......

The Manjin Peninsula, which is located in the south, heats up quickly, so the "insect trapping festival" is held very early, and it is usually held in March.

In addition, because the local insect trainers are very concerned about this activity, at this time, the gym trainers don't care about the gym challenge, so Ah Bi began to set the rules three years ago, from the date of the notice to the three days of the "insect trapping conference", the gym will not accept normal gym challenges.

When Eminem heard this, he didn't complain anything......

Anyway, it's just a matter of one day, and after that, you can still challenge the gym normally.

"Do you want to attend the insect trap? If you have six badges, you can sign up for free! "The staff of the gym, recommend it to Eminem.

"This ...... Good! Eminem nodded, then looked at Sakura and Chiyo, and asked, "Can I sign up without a badge?" ”

"Yes, but you need to pay a deposit, it's definitely worth it, after all, the insect Pokémon there are of high quality, as long as you catch it, you can take one of them, and if you don't get anything, you can refund the deposit." The staff enthusiastically introduced Chiyo and Sakura.

"We're still ......" Chiyo didn't have a cold, but when he turned his head, he saw Sakura looking at the registration form with burning eyes.

She didn't like bug-based Pokémon that much, and even ...... She can't train Pokémon now, but as soon as she heard that this "insect trapping tournament" was close to "play", Sakura was interested.

To put it simply, Sakura may not like "going out", but she must like "spring outing".

Eminem also said at this time: "Since it is a demarcated area, and the density of insect Pokémon in it is very high, there should not be many ordinary insects." ”

After all, resources are limited, and ordinary insects will also be preyed upon by Pokémon.

"Okay......" Zhiyo said helplessly.

"Three, huh? Please register here......" The staff guided Eminem through the registration process.

I just heard her talk about the rules of the "insect trapping conference".

It is in a designated area that participants can use the special "Poke Ball" provided by the organizer, that is, the town office of Hinoki Town, to catch insect Pokémon.

Each person will be given 20 "Poke Balls", which are different from the regular "Poke Balls", which will be directly teleported to the organizer after being captured, and when the event is over, you can choose one to participate in the scoring and take it away.

Because the venue of the conference was artificially created by the insect trainers, cultivators, and nutritionists of Hinoki Town, it is not something that can be taken away casually, and outsiders are usually forbidden to enter......

In addition, during the "Insect Trapping Conference", the use of Pokémon is restricted - releasing Pokémon is punished as abstention, that is, it cannot use the means of Pokémon combat to capture.

After all, the insect Pokémon in the range are generally not too high, and if you allow the use of Pokémon, it will not be difficult to catch.

It's not a "insect catcher" but an ordinary battle......

It is because you have to rely on yourself to catch it, so it is called the "insect hunting conference".

How to take Pokémon without Pokémon fighting?

In fact, it is okay, all kinds of Pokémon have their own methods, but they are not mainstream.

For qualified "insect trainers", from the time of the "insect catcher", they will continue to improve their abilities in this area.

After learning about this rule, Eminem and Sakura are also very confident.

Seeing that they were not insect trainers, the staff of the gym also specially reminded them that there was a free, basic explanation of insect catching skills in the gym afterwards, but Eminem and Sakura didn't listen......

Although they are not "insect catchers", they ...... It can completely give Hinoki Town some "magical girl shock" and "spiritual emerald man shock"!
