Chapter 7: The Gym League and the Ability Awakening Test
Several of the children were in their early teens, or twelve or thirteen.
Except for a child wearing a black T-shirt, basically a white vest and shorts, and a young insect catcher with a net and a worm cage.
Two of the children had a red and white Poké Ball hanging from their waists, and next to them were a brownish-yellow insect elf with silver horns on their heads.
It is the unicorn insect, and it is also the original form of the popular elf needle bee.
As far back as he can remember, Mark had little interaction with the children in the village.
The same is true at this time.
Several insect catchers in the village ran over because they saw him from a distance, probably thinking that he was a partner in the village.
But when he found out that it was him, a fool who had been wandering around the village all day, he ignored it, and muttered something, and continued in the direction of the village, and it was not long before he was far away.
Mark and the green caterpillar stood in place for a moment, then followed in the direction where the young insect catchers had left.
From the words of several insect catchers, Mark heard some very unfamiliar words.
As he walked, Mark looked at the green caterpillar and asked, "What's going on with the Gym League in the Fallen Leaves Province?" Isn't this Guandu? ”
"Huh?"
The green caterpillar tilted its head to look at Mark, with the same puzzled expression.
Mark said to himself: "Whether it's the green caterpillar, the little Lada, or the house bird Bobo, the unicorn insect or something, they are all common elves in the Guandu area.
Since they are all called deciduous provinces, the area must be very large, and if it is the same world, it is impossible not to know the Guandu.
In this case, is this an overhead elf world?
In fact, it doesn't make a difference whether it's an overhead elf world or not, after all, I don't remember much about the Pokémon plots I watched when I was a child.
The point is, what is this Gym League?
Gym league, is it that the gyms around the country form leagues like those basketball and football clubs? ”
Mark continued to look at the green caterpillar.
"Sss
In response to Mark's inquiry, the green caterpillar spread out its four forelimbs, shook its head, and made a gesture that he didn't know about.
The green caterpillar really doesn't know that it has little contact with other humans except Mark, and Mark has been a fool all these years, so it doesn't know much about the human world.
One person and one insect followed several insect catchers from a distance and walked towards the village.
It didn't take long for Mark and the Green Caterpillar to hear even more noise, and as they approached the village, Mark and the Green Caterpillar saw a dense crowd of figures.
"Hiss, hiss!"
The green caterpillar seemed to remember something, and gestured at Mark's feet.
Mark wondered: "Square thing, there is a picture in it, you mean the TV?" ”
"Hiss!"
The green caterpillar nodded repeatedly.
It had heard people talk about the word television, and it had seen it a few times from afar when Mark was wandering around the village.
But the TV is too hot, people are surrounded by the inside and outside, and it doesn't see too clearly what the specific TV is.
Along with the description of the green caterpillar, Mark also found some vague memories in his mind.
If he were asked to describe it, it would be similar to the 70s and 80s of the last century in the world before he traveled through it, when television was a rare thing, and when a family owned a TV, the neighbors would gather to watch it.
The television set in the village is about 25 inches, with a color screen, and a long pole erected next to the TV set, on which is the antenna of the TV set.
At this time, the TV set is placed on the set up table, so that more people can see it.
Mark squeezed forward with the green caterpillar.
Maybe it was because he used to be a fool, but the villagers didn't say much when they found out that it was he who squeezed over, and some villagers even took the initiative to get out of the way.
It didn't take long for him to squeeze into a good position, although the angle was a little tilted, but he could clearly see the picture of the TV and hear the voice of the commentary in the TV.
On the TV, the battle between Charizard and Rumble Rock was being played.
Listening to the words of the commentary, it is the Rock Gym in Sanshan Town and the Fire Gym in Barre Town that are at war.
The flames of Charizard on the TV screen are non-stop, and it looks very powerful, but listening to the commentary, it seems that rumble rock has the upper hand.
The villagers gathered around the TV cheered for the rocks, sometimes shouting with joy, sometimes shaking their heads in regret for missing the opportunity.
Mark listened to the villagers' discussions and cheers, and quickly understood some of the situation.
The reason why the villagers cheered for the Rumble Rock was not because the villagers liked the Rumble Rock or liked the trainers who used the Rumble Rock, but because the Qingxi Village where he was now located was an affiliated village within the scope of Sanshan Town.
The villagers are supporting their hometown gym.
And as he continued to listen to the villagers' conversations, Mark gradually understood what the Gym League was.
As he had guessed before, the Gym League was a league similar to football and basketball.
Usually each gym will send seven players for a maximum of five matches.
The order of the competition is singles, doubles, singles, doubles, and singles.
Three wins in five games, each game is 6v6, each sends six elves to fight, although there is no clear rule, but generally the owner will appear in the final single tiebreaker, that one is also known as the hall master duel.
The battle on the TV was the third match between the two gyms.
At present, the big score is 2-0, and the Sanshan Town Gym is ahead, if there is no accident, this game should end with a crushing victory of the Sanshan Town Gym.
Not far from Mark, several previous insect catchers also crowded near the TV and quarreled, as if complaining about a companion for delaying time, but just came back and the game was about to end, missing the highlights of the first two games.
Mark suddenly noticed something, and looked at the green caterpillar on his shoulder, which was now staring at the picture on the TV.
Seeing the green caterpillar's thoughts, Mark scraped the green caterpillar's tentacles with his finger and said, "You also want to participate in the competition on the TV?" ”
"Hiss!"
The green caterpillar was stunned for a moment, then nodded vigorously.
Mark said, "There will be a chance. ”
has come to the elven world, even if he doesn't have the spirit master system, he will find a way to become a trainer, and becoming a trainer is inevitably indispensable for battles and competitions.
Without letting Marx sit for long, the battle scenes on TV changed continuously.
Charizard found the right time to sneak attack, flew into the sky with the rumbling rock and smashed the rumbling rock to the ground, and came a wonderful [earth throw], the smoke and dust overflowed, a huge crater was smashed on the ground, and the Qingxi villagers cheering under the TV were dead silent.
However, just as everyone sighed, the rumbling rock, which seemed to be dying and unable to move, suddenly burst out, and it rushed to the Charizard in an incredible way, and there was a huge [Big Bang], the limit was changed one by one, and the Charizard was pulled under the horse.
The uncontrollable cheers of the villagers completely drowned out the sound of the television.
The last Sun Rock vs. Coal Turtle, Sanshan Town Gym also won the victory amid the cheers of the people, and finally won the Barre Town Gym 3-0.
Although there is a reason for the rock system to restrain the fire system, being able to completely seal the opponent also shows the strength of the Sanshan Town Gym in a certain aspect.
After the game, the villagers gathered around the TV slowly dispersed.
In the impoverished mountainous areas where there are no recreational facilities, this kind of competitive event is very exciting, and both adults and children are talking about the game just now, looking forward to the next broadcast.
And not long after the end of the show, a dignified-looking old man picked up a bullhorn and called the people back.
The old man, Mark, had a bit of an impression in his memory, and he would often wave to him and give them something to eat, but he didn't meet much in the village.
The old man shouted that he had just received a notice, and the alliance commissioner of the Fallen Leaf Province had temporarily changed his itinerary and was about to come over, so that the families participating in the ability awakening test could prepare, and if they missed it, there would be no second chance.
There was a commotion in the crowd.
Mark didn't hear anything about the Awakening Test from the rioting crowd, and he didn't know anything about the Green Caterpillar, but he learned the old man's identity from the villagers' conversations.
The old man is the village chief of Qingxi Village, surnamed Qian, what is the specific name of Qian, the villagers didn't say, and Mark didn't know.
Village Chief Qian hurriedly instructed several villagers to tidy up the high station where the TV was located, and said that the qualification test would be conducted here after a while, and the villagers who participated in the test would bring their children over as soon as possible, and then left in a hurry.
About ten minutes later, there was a commotion among the villagers.
The village elder, who was still full of majesty before, seemed to be a different person, and he came to the platform with a middle-aged alliance official in a white uniform with a smile on his face, and at the same time instructed the villagers to bring the children who participated in the ability awakening test......
