Pokémon, start your journey from the Donghuang Alliance

"It's not that exaggerated. I just said it casually."

"You are always too modest in these areas. Sometimes it's okay to be generous and admit your own advantages. Since they are advantages, why not admit them."

Su Yuan was stunned, then nodded with a smile.

"Brother Zhuang Yan is right, I have learned these things."

"Well, I should say, learn from each other."

"Then are you planning to take the train home?"

However, Zhuang Yan shook his head.

"No, I bought a ticket to Yun Province."

"Yun Sheng? Didn't you say you wanted to go home?"

Zhuang Yan grinned.

"That's right. I'll go to Yun Province and challenge the gym and then go home. There won't be any delay anyway. It seems like we're on the same journey, so please give me some advice on the rest of the journey."

"Yes, we are traveling together."

Su Yuan didn't expect that he would have a companion on what he thought was a solo journey.

Soon the station's announcement sounded, the train from Lingnan to Yun Province was about to leave.

Su Yuan and Zhuang Yan carried their luggage and boarded the train. As a result, Zhuang Yan was not far in front of Su Yuan. After discussing with another passenger, the two of them moved together.

"By the way, brother Zhuang Yan, you have five badges now. Counting Yun Province's badge, you have six badges. What are your plans for the remaining two badges?"

Su Yuan asked curiously on the train.

"Yes, my last two badges have been decided since my trip."

"Oh, have you made a decision so early? Those two gyms?"

Su Yuan was a little curious as to which of the two gyms Zhuang Yan had reserved.

Donghuang is different from other regions. Because of its vast territory, a total of sixteen large gymnasiums have been built on the land of Donghuang. Of course, these sixteen are all top-level gyms. Under these gyms, there are also large and small second-rate gyms and third-rate gyms.

The badges of these gyms are also recognized by the Donghuang Alliance, but the badge level of the contestants will be reviewed when participating in the league. The lower the overall level of the trainer, the lower the ranking. Relatively speaking, the lower ranking trainers There are more games to play than other trainers.

In short, if you win eight top-level badges, you can directly enter the top 128 of the knockout round. If not, then you may need to compete in the points competition. You can only enter by winning the points competition. Knockout.

Zhuang Yan replied.

"One is the Tianlu Taoist Temple in the Tibetan area, and the other is our Taoist Temple in Dongshan Province."

When Su Yuan heard about these two gyms, he immediately understood what was going on.

One is his mother's hometown, and the other is the place where he grew up. The gyms in these two places are of great significance to Zhuang Yan. No wonder he chose the last two to challenge.

"By the way, Brother Zhuang Yan, you must have conquered a lot of Pokémon after traveling for so long. In addition to Charizard, Crossbat and Snow Leopard, what other Pokémon did you bring with you?"

"Actually, I haven't conquered many Pokémon."

Zhuang Yan raised his fingers and said.

"Charizard was my first partner, brought back from the Kanto region by one of my uncles. Crossbat and Abao were the two first Pokémon I captured. In addition to these three, I also have a Moon Eevee, an Elledor and a Super Armored Rhinoceros.

These are my main players. As for the others, like the Electric Demon and the Big Steel Snake, I use them quite often. There are also some others that I leave to my mother to take care of for me. Unless I encounter a gym where Charizard and the others cannot defeat, I will replace them with them. These are the ones who usually accompany me on my travels. "

Listening to Zhuang Yan's words, Su Yuan's eyelids trembled.

Good guys, Elle Duo and Super Armored Rhinoceros, plus the Fire Breathing Dragon and Ouroboros Snow Leopard that we have seen before, do you think there is a gym in this lineup that you can't beat? I'm afraid your other Pokémon won't even have a chance to appear.

Chapter 54, arriving in Yun Province

"Dear passengers and friends, the terminal of this train has arrived. Please take your gifts and prepare to get off. Please note that there is nothing missing in the net pocket under the seat. I wish you a pleasant journey."

As the train's arrival announcement sounded, Su Yuan and Zhuang Yan successfully arrived at their destination, Dali, the capital of Yun Province, where the Poison System Gym is located.

"Ah~ Phew! It's finally here. This train took longer than I thought."

In the station, Su Yuan yawned. It was still daytime when they set out, but when they arrived in Dali, it was already evening.

"Okay, this speed is fast enough."

Zhuang Yan was patted by the travel bag and Su Yuan said with a smile.

"If it were based on my previous travel plan, I would conservatively estimate that it would take half a month to arrive."

"Is it going to take so long?"

Su Yuan asked curiously.

"Can't you just let the fire-breathing dragon fly with you? Wouldn't that save a lot of trouble?"

"It's not that simple."

Zhuang Yan explained.

"Flying is prohibited in many cities in Donghuang, but you can fly in the wild. However, many Pokémon have very strong territorial awareness. If you disturb some powerful Pokémon, an aerial battle will be inevitable. .

Once you have a conflict with a Pokémon in the air, it is extremely dangerous. "

"Ah, that's it, I thought it could fly directly."

In Su Yuan's impression, in the Pokémon works of the past generations, you can fly casually after learning the flying skills and getting the gym badge. He didn't expect that there are still so many troubles in reality.

But to be honest, if it was really that simple, it would probably be a mess long ago.

Zhuang Yan continued to explain.

"There are times when you can fly. In many places, there are Pokémon aviation routes specified by Donghuang. Within the prescribed paths, your Pokémon can fly with you."

"I see. In other words, as long as you follow the prescribed route, you can fly wherever you want, right?"

"That's right, when I came to Lingnan from Hunan Province, I asked Charizard to fly me over from the Hunan-Guangxi Aviation Channel."

The two of them chatted and walked out of the train station. Although night had fallen, there were still people coming and going outside the station. Some came to pick up their relatives and friends, some came to say goodbye, and many taxi drivers were soliciting customers.

"It's getting late. The gym is designated to be closed at this time. Let's find a place to stay first."

Zhuang Yan glanced at the time and said.

As soon as he heard where he lived, Su Yuan said subconsciously.

"Where do you live? Go to the Pokémon Center?"

"Where are you going?"

Su Yuan was stunned and replied.

"Didn't you say you were looking for a place to live? Trainers can temporarily stay at the Pokémon Center while traveling, right?"

He remembered that in the anime, Ash often stayed at the Pokémon Center.

Zhuang Yan scratched his head and smiled.

"The Pokémon Center can indeed provide free food and accommodation for trainers, but that is only if you have no choice. Besides, why would you go there if you have money? Come with me, I will make sure to arrange it for you. Clearly."

Su Yuan followed Zhuang Yan like a child.

As a trainer with rich travel experience, Zhuang Yan quickly found a place to stay.

A Pokémon hotel with a reasonable price and a good environment. The main focus is cost-effectiveness.

The two of them did not rest after putting down their things, but decided to go out for a walk. In Zhuang Yan's words, since they are here, they must experience the local characteristics. Otherwise, why would they travel? The same goes for taking them at home. .

Walking on the street, passing by several signature shops without stopping, Su Yuan asked curiously.

"Brother Zhuang Yan, wasn't that a restaurant with special dishes just now? Why are you still moving forward?"

Zhuang Yan explained with a smile.

"You don't understand this. Any shop like this that opens next to a hotel, especially one near a station, is not a serious shop. They are specially designed to deceive foreign tourists, and local people will not eat it at all."

Su Yuan was stunned for a moment, as if there was indeed such a theory.

“Then do you know where there are authentic specialties?”

"Of course, just follow me."

Following Zhuang Yan, Su Yuan walked through two more streets.

"arrive."

A lively night market appeared in front of Su Yuan's eyes. The various stalls were dazzling. The night market was bustling with people and there was an endless stream of pedestrians and Pokémon.

"Good guy, it's really lively. No, Brother Zhuang Yan, this is your first time in Yun Province too. How did you know there is such a place?"

Zhuang Yan said proudly.

"Hehe, this is experience. Every time before I go to the next destination, I will prepare the corresponding travel guide in advance, so that I will not leave any regrets when I travel."

Su Yuan couldn't help but give him a thumbs up. As expected of someone who has been traveling outside for a long time, he is really awesome.

"Let me tell you, the food you buy in some local specialty hotels is not authentic and extremely expensive. Only the street stalls frequented by the locals are the most authentic."

Zhuang Yan patted his shoulder.

"Let's go, I'll take you to try some of the most highly praised specialties here."

It was obviously the first time for him to come to Yun Province like Su Yuan, but Zhuang Yan took Su Yuan around like a local.

The two of them wandered around the night market for more than an hour when they suddenly noticed a lot of people gathered around a stall, as if they were watching the excitement.

"What are they doing?"

"I don't know if it's mentioned in the guide, go check it out."

The two of them moved forward curiously.

"Come on, come on, let's compete in the Pokémon Strongman competition. Whoever rings the bell above will get a prize."

I saw a vendor standing there shouting. Next to him was a tall machine with a copper bell at the top. The steel balls can be ejected by hitting the target in the ground. Those who can ring the bell with the iron balls will be considered successful in the challenge.

Many onlookers were eager to try it out, and paid 50 yuan for a ticket to release their Pokémon.

"Comparing your strength, I haven't climbed it yet. Come on, Haoli, let them see how powerful you are!"

"Haoli!"

Reminded that the muscular Haoli was released and walked towards the machine. Haoli is also a famous strongman among Pokémon, and many people are very optimistic about him.

"Haoli, show everyone what you can do!"

"Haoli!"

Haoli showed off his muscles and let Hou punch the target.

I saw the iron ball flying out in an instant, flying higher and higher, but in the end it was very regrettable, just a little bit.

"Oh~! What a pity, we were just a little bit close, next one!"

Haoli's trainer shook his head regretfully and gave up his position with Haoli.

The confident trainer soon decided to give it a try, but still failed.

Although the first two people did not succeed, there were more and more onlookers, and the atmosphere became more and more lively, with people constantly coming out to try.

Finally, a Kirby trainer successfully rang the bell.

The vendor also took out his prize, a random secret skill machine. The trainer opened it directly in front of all the onlookers. The result was a strange power, which was very suitable for this activity.

Looking at the lively crowd, Su Yuan spoke.

"Brother Zhuang Yan, why don't you try it too? Your Super Armor Mad Rhino's strength is no worse than theirs."

"Haha, of course we have to participate in such an interesting thing together."

Zhuang Yan dragged Su Yuan out directly.

"We want to try it too."

As he spoke, he took out a hundred-dollar bill.

Chapter 55: Whose fire-breathing dragon doesn't have a thunder fist?

"Okay, two brothers, please wait a moment and let the guests in front finish the challenge first."
