Elf: Re-employment of retired champion of Padiya

Chapter 707 Luo Mu: Jilidan is my disciple who inherited my legacy

".Well, that's a good idea. After all, how do you know if it will work if you don't try it?"

After a moment of silence, Luo Mu still gave an encouraging response.

After all, as a teacher, he naturally doesn't want to discourage students' enthusiasm.

——Even though Joey Shizuka is a few years older than herself.

Although the treatment of "Fire Steel" or Sidoran in the animation seems to be a roadside crime.

I don't know if it was a drawing error, but he appeared very casually in a frame next to a passerby trainer in the Lily of the Valley Tournament. He seemed to have lost the game silently, and didn't even meet another real legendary beast man.

But it is indeed a legendary Pokémon officially certified by Pokémon. According to legend, it was born from the boiling lava inside Mount Tianguan in the Sinnoh region and is a legendary elf accompanied by volcanoes.

The digitized value in the game also has a racial value of 600, which is one level higher than Moltres and the Tapu family.

Apart from the "Dream Plan" which is difficult to review.

The reason why legends are legends is that they are hard to find and so rare that only legends are circulated in the world.

Whether it is looking for the traces of such Pokémon, or contacting it and gaining its recognition, it seems to be an extremely difficult task.

Most trainers may not even meet him once in their entire lives.

Joey Shizuka's decision has a very low success rate.

But if she really found the trace of Xiduolan and successfully formed a bond with him.

Then she is probably the other Joy who has a legendary elf partner, besides Inspector Joy who used to be Miss Joy in Golden City in the Kanto region.

This is not being sarcastic.

Luo Mu intends to respect and bless Shizuka's choice.

"In that case, it means you two are traveling together this time?"

Thinking of Nemo, who visits the farm twice a day on average, Luo Mu sincerely hopes that Shinji and Shizuka will take her away as well.

With this girl's strength, now in the academy, apart from playing the Baby Cup Fish Fry, which makes the students afraid to play against her, she can only carry out her studies normally.

It would be better to continue traveling like this to gain more knowledge, so that Luo Mu can also enjoy some free time.

——Look at this kid Wu Li. He has been in the academy for almost two months. As long as he is perfunctory or makes an excuse, he will not be so shameless as to pester him for a fight with his eyes full of longing.

I really hope Nimo can learn from him.

Shizuka bowed slightly to Luo Mu and said hesitantly: "No, I think I will go to the Sinnoh region alone this time."

Shinji nodded slightly and agreed, "I also plan to practice alone. Although she can provide reliable medical support to Pokémon at any time, it is inevitable that I will be a little slack."

"I plan to conduct more arduous and rigorous training alone, and at the same time capture Pokémon in the Sinnoh region, and use the newly cultivated Pokémon to defeat Xiaozhi again."

In Shinji's opinion, it is indeed comfortable to travel with Shizuka and Nemo.

In terms of safety, there won't be any major problems thanks to the presence of Nemo, a champion-level trainer.

In terms of logistics, Shizuka, the former Miss Joy, is extremely reliable.

But everything has its good and bad sides.

Just like Nemo, although her fighting ability is reliable, Shinji also gains a lot from being a sparring partner.

But the other shortcomings are simply too numerous to list:

He is impulsive, has poor sense of direction, is an idiot in sports, gets excited everywhere, and will grab unlucky passers-by from time to time, shouting that he will go all out against everyone, and then engage in a brutal, one-sided Pokémon battle to ravage them.

And there is also one of the biggest problems that Papa and Mudan have complained about a lot.

——Characteristic: "I do my own thing".

It's simply an enlarged version of Xiaozhi.

Of course, we have to exclude the aspect of exercise.

Having witnessed Xiaozhi's physical fitness several times, Shinji really doesn't think he is a normal human being.

Shinji couldn't really find any fault with Shizuka. Having the logistical support from a Miss Joy really gave him a sense of security.

Just ignore the tactics she and that evil pyroxene Jigglypuff are tinkering with all day, which even Shinji finds disgusting.

However, it was precisely because Shizuka was so perfect as a logistics staff that she inevitably showed signs of slackness and laziness during the trip.

Shinji thinks this is not a good idea.

At least this time he was determined to practice Spartan style.

The Sinnoh home trophy must not be taken away by outsiders!
Just when Shinji was alone in his "hot-blooded" state, Shizuka whispered to Luo Mu: "In fact, in addition to Xiduo Lann, my elders have assigned me a task this time."

"What mission?" Luo Mu showed curiosity on his face.

Shizuka's elder. Is that old Joey?

"Hey."

Not knowing what Luo Mu was thinking, Shizuka sighed and told Luo Mu the specific content of the mission truthfully.

In short, the Sinnoh region has not been peaceful recently.

Not only those notorious Pokémon hunters, but also the evil organization Team Galactic, which operates secretly in the Sinnoh region, has become a little too active.

The leader of the Joy family in the Sinnoh region is quite worried about this situation, because many times, Pokémon Centers that store a lot of Pokémon from other trainers are often the targets of these people.

However, the Pokémon Center, which saves lives and provides food, lodging and medical care to passing Trainers and nearby people, does not have any defensive capabilities and can easily be attacked by bad guys.

So the person in charge of the Joy family over there probably saw Shizuka's performance at the Caiyou Conference and thought it was incredible that she made it to the top four.

A few days later, through some distant relatives, they contacted the Joey family in Padia and wanted to invite Shizuka to the Pokémon Center in the Sinnoh region to conduct mobile self-protection and tactical science education and teaching.

It would be great if we could use this to slightly improve the defense capabilities of the Pokémon Center in the Sinnoh region.

Shizuka can also use the mission of "teaching tour" in the Sinnoh region to find the trace of Sidoran.

“I don’t know if I can do it well.”

She herself is still a mediocre talent, having only made it to the top four in the Caiyou Conference, but she was forced to teach others.

She really couldn't muster up the confidence.

When Shizuka sighed unconfidently, a warm hand suddenly fell on her shoulder.

She looked at the owner of her hand, Luo Mu, and a hint of emotion appeared in her eyes.

——In Shizuka's opinion, as a teacher, Luo Mu would definitely use inspiring words to encourage her at this time.

In fact, Luo Mu’s first sentence did sound very similar.

"I think you don't need to worry too much about this."

"Yeah." Shizuka was even more touched.

Luo Mu paused, his eyes fell on the pocket of Shizuka's clothes, and said with a smile: "After all, there is Jigglypuff. Even if you don't go over, the egg alone should be able to complete the task excellently." In Luo Mu's view, compared to Shizuka, Jigglypuff is more like a disciple who has inherited his tactical mantle.

Joey Shizuka?

Just a Jigglypuff Jinchuriki!

"?"

The emotion that was brewing came to an abrupt end, and Shizuka, with a question mark on her head, looked at Luo Mu in disbelief.

What do you mean by that!?

Shinji and Shizuka's departure dates were set very urgently.

Shinji probably wants to go to the Sinnoh region as soon as possible to start his solo training so that he can be one step ahead of Satoshi.

After all, after Ash finishes the challenge of the frontier, he will stay in Pallet Town for a while before setting off for the Sinnoh region.

Shizuka had originally agreed on this time with the Joey family in the Sinnoh region.

After February is over, they will board a plane to the Sinnoh region on the first day of March.

There is no problem with the procedures at Orange College.

Not to mention Shinji, who in a sense was temporarily taking a leave of absence from school and going home. Shizuka also had the support of the Joey family, so she was successfully won over without Luo Mu's intervention.

After sending away Nemo who wanted to fight him again at school, Luo Mu took his bear apprentice who had accumulated a lot of combat experience through actual combat, and rode Dragonite out of Zhuotai City.

With the help of Dragonite's speed which was much faster since Dragonite Island, the outline of Pingdie Town appeared in their eyes in a short while.

However, today, Dragonite did not land on the farm on the edge of Pingdie Town. Instead, it landed directly in the backyard of a brand new building in the center of the town that looked like it had just been completed.

The overall style of the building is more oriental, and it stands out among the crowds in Pingdie Town.

Many residents passing by would stop for a moment and cast a curious look at the building itself.

"Wow! Is our Pingdie Town finally going to have a gym?"

"Who will be the owner?"

"When will the challenge be opened? I want to get the first badge!"

When passers-by heard the excited discussions of some boys and girls dressed as trainers, they would follow their gaze and find a plaque with the words "Pingdie Gym" carved on it under the eaves of the main entrance of the gym.

All doubts were immediately answered.

——Is this a Pokémon Gym? No wonder it’s so stylish!
There were also some well-informed trainers who had challenged other gyms or even gyms in other regions and they rubbed their chins in confusion.

After all, in their perception, the styles of gyms in the Padiya region are very consistent.

The gyms that have registered for registration are all office-like buildings that incorporate local architectural styles, and the battle venues are mostly open-air venues nearby.

This was the first time they had seen a proper gym building like this.

They were indeed very curious about who the owner of this gym would be. After all, there was no relevant announcement even on the official website of the Padya Alliance.

Meanwhile, in the backyard of the gym.

Luo Mu could probably also hear the whispers from onlookers behind the wall and at the main entrance of the gym.

But he's used to it.

After all, this kind of thing has happened frequently since the gym was almost built.

He seemed to hear someone trying to take the badge from here.

——There is no such business at all.

The opening of the gym must be coordinated with the promotion of the Pokémon World Championship.

Right now the entire Pokémon World Championship is still in the publicity period. Once some well-known invited trainers have fought each other and the popularity has increased, this screening business will begin.

Now the entire gym has basically become a training ground for Luo Mu to bring his Pokémon to train.

After all, there are quite a few training equipment here that Ye Ci has asked people to purchase and place.

It's better than having to deal with a big rock on the farm.

In addition to practicing at the waterfall, Luo Mu now often brings his disciple Bear here for training.

Looking at his apprentice Bear who was "fighting" with the wooden stake again, Luo Mu seemed to remember something and suddenly asked the Dragonite beside him: "By the way, how is Dragonite Island doing recently?"

After all, he became the leader of the Dragonite tribe on Dragonite Island. During this month, Dragonite would occasionally visit Dragonite Island.

He remembered that the last time Dragonite went there, when he came back he mentioned that the giant poisonous jellyfish had finally migrated here with their tribe.

"Booo ...?"

Suddenly being asked, Dragonite ate his claws in some confusion, the two tentacles on his head swayed slightly, and his eyes fell on his bear apprentice beside him.

There are really few major events on the entire Kuailong Island.

Most of them are just some Pokémon that have encountered shipwrecks and were picked up by Dragonite when they were out, just like the case with Bear Apprentice.

Humans don’t have it, or maybe it just hasn’t encountered it.

After staying in the gym for a while, I watched Disciple Bear complete today's training tasks.

Luo Mu took it and sat on Dragonite's back again, and left the Pingdie Gym without anyone noticing.

Well, since this name can be used, it must mean that Ye Ci had no choice but to compromise.

After all, in Luo Mu's opinion, the name of the gym doesn't matter at all.

What is important for a gym is not the name, but the gym owner.

——Just like Zhi Huixing, the acting gym leader appointed by Luo Mu.

As soon as he returned home, Luo Mu saw Zhi Huixing holding a thick book and studying something.

That was sent by Ye Ci, which was a detailed outline of the rules for non-invited trainers to qualify for the first Pokémon World Championship.

After all, since it is a screening and assessment based on strength, there is naturally a specific standard.

The first Pokémon World Championship seemed to be aimed at an elite competition, intending to temporarily block the participation of ordinary trainers until a more effective solution was found.

This can also save some manpower costs.

Some other areas also temporarily built some gyms like the one Luo Mu had.

After all, gym leaders all have their own personalities to a certain extent. After taking on the responsibility of issuing badges, they may feel a little overwhelmed when it comes to assessments.

Zhihuixing paused in flipping through the booklet, as if he had noticed some problems with the rules. He raised his head and asked Luo Mu through telepathy, "If those gym leaders, the Four Heavenly Kings, and even the champions who were not invited want to participate, can they only take part in the strength assessment?"

Luo Mu: “.”

This question really got me thinking.
