Elf: Re-employment of retired champion of Padiya

Chapter 711: Padia Urban Legend : The Big-Headed Ghost at the Flat Disc Gym
No, is this reasonable?
Although Steelix's special defense is not as outstanding as its physical defense, it is definitely not as thin as paper.

Not to mention that as a steel-attribute Pokémon, Steelix itself is resistant to psychic-type moves, and even has a "Light Wall" move that further weakens the power of special attacks!
As a result, you, the Sun Eevee, used your mental power to kill my Steelix in an instant?

I don’t even want to act anymore!
Ah He was devastated as he watched Steelix slide down the wall.

Where is the newly opened gym? This guy beat me even harder than the old man in the eighth gym in the Kalos region!
"Mibu~" (It's none of my business~)
Gracefully shaking its forked tail, the Sun Eevee hummed softly, looking as if it had nothing to do with it.

The bud crown king: “.”

Still careless.

Frequent sparring with Pokémon such as Roentgens, which have super-normal strength among ordinary Pokémon, caused it to misjudge their strength.

Originally, according to its estimation, with the "little bit" of mental energy it had just added, that "mental power" should be enough to break the wall of light and bring great pressure to the opponent.

But it still flipped over.

Not only did he underestimate the power of Sun Eevee's telekinesis, but he also overestimated the opponent's strength.

Because of his intervention, the evolved Solevion is at a similar level to Sphynx in terms of total telekinesis.

But in fact, Zhihuixing is not even ranked among the top in the farm in terms of strength. Not to mention the Roentgen Cats and others, even the subsequently cultivated Windy Dog and Frog King have surpassed it.

The strength of Zhihuixing lies in its rich experience in controlling telekinesis, which is even considered outstanding by the Lotus Crown King.

There is also its flexible brain and way of thinking. From what Luo Mu said, Chihuixing once defeated a Pokémon commanded by a gym leader in a single battle.

But Sun Ibrahimovic is inferior to Zhihuixing in general.

This also gave rise to a wrong formula in the mind of the Crown King.

Ah He who got eight badges + Steelix ≈ Gorilla > Soleva.

In order to achieve the effect of "testing", it added some ingredients to the "Psychic Power" of the Solsticeon, which it estimated should be able to shake the "Wall of Light" at most.

Ultimately, Crown of Buds felt that she had made the mistake of empiricism. If she had carefully investigated the strength of the "wall of light" and the aura of Steelix, or had known the specific strength of the so-called gym leaders in advance, she would not have made such a low-level mistake.

"Ahem." After coughing awkwardly, the Bud Crown looked at Ah He, who was staring at her after taking back Steelix, and reminded her, "Challenger, it's time to send out the next Pokémon."

Now that things have come to this, it is difficult to remedy the situation. All I can do is pretend nothing happened, then quietly let him pass and observe the strength of this challenger in the Orange Academy uniform, to determine if he has any outstanding qualities, and then consider whether to let him pass.

——Logically speaking, although Ah He with this resume has not yet been invited by the official competition, he should be able to apply based on this and directly obtain the right to participate.

But Luo Mu had complained to it and Zhi Huixing before.

It is said that in order to distinguish the "Pokémon World Championship" from gym challenges and league conferences, the officials deliberately did not introduce this mature method of judging the strength of trainers, and even did not connect to the relevant certification system.

In order to ensure that any trainer can sign up for the "Pokémon World Championship", no invisible threshold can be set, even for the first time. At most, there can only be a strength test that is compromised due to the limitations of manpower and material resources.

Therefore, the challenger in front of him can only undergo the strength test obediently.

The Bud Crown secretly sent a ray of mental fluctuations to the Sun Eevee with its secret instructions.

After receiving the information, the purple eyes of the Sun Eevee glowed.

Acting, huh?

Okay, it's pretty good at this, just think of it as cleaning up the mess for the Rape Crown King.

When he first entered the farm, he used his superb acting skills to confuse Luo Mu, and he was stared at dangerously by the monarch snake more than once.

The Sun Eevee took a moment to gather energy, and then began to pant as if it had consumed a lot of its mental energy. The ruby ​​light on its forehead also began to flicker.

This scene was seen by Ah He who was about to throw the Poké Ball.

After all, he was just a teenager, and he believed in the acting skills of Ibrahimovic without any doubt.

He even breathed a sigh of relief.

As expected, that overly powerful "mental power" just now did not come without a price.

The Sun Ibrahimovic who seems to be "crumbling" in front of him is the biggest evidence.

Otherwise he really wouldn't know how to fight.

There is just one thing that Ah He is somewhat concerned about.

Because of the sudden kill just now, he subconsciously looked at the "acting museum owner", and he also realized that something was wrong.

——Why did the head of the "acting gym owner" hidden under the hood make him feel as if it was bigger than a basketball?
Putting aside his doubts for the time being, Ah He sent out his second Pokémon.

This time it was the Tomb Dog that evolved from the Tomb Dog he captured in the Padia region.

Although he joined the team late and is not as strong as Steelix and the others, but with the attribute restraint, Ah He believes that there will be no problem in defeating the "crumbling" Soleva in front of him.

On the other side, Bud Crown no longer gave any blessings to Soleva, but instead began to give commands "verbally".

——Because it found that the Grave Dog seemed to be even weaker than Steelix.

In the following battle, Ah He fully experienced what torture was.

He even suspected that he had touched someone's cake, otherwise there would be no need to treat him like this.

Graveyard used Lurking Attack, which hit Solevil head-on with great effect!

The Sun Eevee is becoming more and more shaky!
Grave Dog uses Shadow Ball to further expand its advantage!
Sol Eevee fought back hard, and the Phantom Beam successfully penetrated the Shadow Ball and hit the Gravehund!

Gravehel can still fight, and its loud roar hits the Sun Eevee!
Sun Ibrahimovic can’t stand anymore!
Muyang Dog pursued the victory, Sun Ibrahimovic made many stupid moves, and Sun Ibrahimovic fell into despair. Sun Ibrahimovic gave a victory speech!

"Mee-bu-" (I'm about to fall down)

At this moment, the ruby ​​on the forehead of Sol Eevee was dim, as if all its spiritual energy had been drained out.

On the other side, the Tomb Dog, which was originally a ghost, was lying on its back, as if it had lost its ability to fight.

Ah He was silent.

Raphim tried to comfort him: "Not bad, you managed to push my Sun Eevee to this point. It's a pity that you were only one step away from victory."

Ah He said nothing, but sent out his last Pokémon, which was also his starting Pokémon and trump card that he received in the Galar region.

——Boom! King Kong.

Unfortunately, his Booming Ape does not have the rare "Grass Maker" dream trait, but the common "Lush" trait.

The battle process between Booming King Kong and Solevil is similar to the previous one.

It was obvious that the Sun Eevee could hardly stand, but it always found the right opportunity to "escape from death" or counterattack. By the time Ah He came to his senses, the strong body of the Booming Kong had already fallen to the ground with a bang.

And the Sun Eevee also shook for who knows how many times since the battle began in Ah He's gradually numb sight, and then fell to the ground with a thud.

"Mibu~" (I can't stand up either~)

The bud crown king: “.”

The acting was a bit exaggerated. Did Luo Mu fall for it?

Although he felt that he had discovered something incredible, the Lotus Crown King did not forget his duties as the acting gym owner.

It controlled the little spirit somewhat awkwardly, and moved its "feet" to the front of Ah He who was lowering his head.

"You are already very proud of yourself for being able to defeat my Sun Eevee."

Ah He hung his head and said dejectedly: "But I only defeated one of your Pokémon."

The rules were 3 vs 3, but he didn't even see the second Pokémon of the acting gym leader.

Just think about it and you will know that I am afraid I will not be able to pass this test of strength. If I start early, there is no chance of fighting against Mr. Dan Di.

No, after all, he couldn't even beat the acting gym leader, so why was he still thinking about fighting Mr. Dandi?

The Bud Crown King noticed that the boy seemed to be in a low mood, and his brows furrowed slightly.

In fact, from its perspective, the boy's basic skills are quite good.

The reason for losing the battle is simply because there is indeed a gap between the Pokémon's strength and that of Sun Eevee.

According to the specific standards, it is not impossible to give him a pass.

——However, the Flower Crown Queen also sensed the existence of another emotion called guilty conscience.

Why do you feel guilty?

Judging from the wisdom and knowledge of the Belle Crown, combined with the strength shown by the boy, it is actually easy to guess.

Most likely there is concealment and false reporting when filling out the form.

In fact, the Bud Crown King could have directly peeked into the boy's mind, but it didn't.

Similarly, King Lei Guan had no intention of exposing Ah He's fraud.

It is honest, yes, but it is not pedantic.

Since he feels guilty, it means he knows he did something wrong. Why not give him a chance to reform?
Thinking of this, the Crown Queen said to Ah He who was waiting for the verdict: "I'm sorry, you didn't pass the test this time."

Ah He's head drooped even lower.

But at this time, the Lotus Crown King changed the subject and said, "However, there is no limit to the number of times you can take the test. If you have confidence in the future, you can try it again, or you can go to other designated test sites for testing."

"Okay, I see. Thank you for your guidance."

Ah He was not the kind of person who would make trouble. He bowed politely while holding the three shrunken Poké Balls in his hand, then turned and left the Flat Disc Gym.

Walking on the street, Ah He was thinking about taking a detour to the Pokémon Center in Flattery Town. Although this would make him return later, it would also allow Boomstick and the others to receive better treatment.

Soon they arrived at the Pokémon Center. He directly handed the three Poké Balls to the Gremlins who came to greet him, and did not notice that inside the front desk, Luo Mu was writing furiously with his head down, trying his best to pass Miss Joy's impromptu test.

Sitting in the waiting area, he sighed deeply, "Ah, I really shouldn't have filled it out randomly."

However, it was precisely because he sat down and calmed down that Ah He was able to remember some things that he had overlooked.

For example, the stiff walking movement of the "acting gym leader", the big head in the hood that seemed to be almost as wide as Chansey, the strange reaction of the Solevil that was about to fall, and most importantly, if you think about it carefully, the words were not received by the ears, but appeared in the mind.

The more he thought about it, the more strange it seemed to Ah He. The newly opened gym was full of suspicious points. Looking back, everything seemed fishy.

There was no one at the front desk, it seemed like a place where no one raised Pokémon. It was a dead silent environment, and more importantly, he never saw the face of the "acting gym leader" from beginning to end.

Although it was a warm spring day, he shuddered subconsciously, his dry lips trembled slightly, and his pupils contracted with fear.

"No. Did I really encounter a ghost?"

"They're gone, no need to pretend."

Bud Crown removed her disguise and said helplessly to the Sol Eevee who was lying on the cold floor pretending to be dead with exaggerated acting skills.

"Meeee~"

The Sun Eevee stood up as if it had been revived with full health, with a cunning look in its eyes.

As expected, Benbu’s acting skills are the best in the world!

The Bud Crown ignored the Soleva who was showing off alone, and read through the thin stack of forms in his hand carefully as if he was organizing documents.

It's already five o'clock in the afternoon and it's time for the gym to close.

Unexpectedly, in the afternoon, in addition to Ah He who came first, four more challengers came.

Two of the challengers performed well, so it considered them to have passed the test. The other two performed averagely, and even though the Rape Crown King shook down the White Fluffy, who was not very good at fighting, from the farm, the opponents still had a hard time defeating him.

It also gave a direct response of rejection in accordance with relevant rules.

Including Ah He, who was rejected at the beginning because of harmless cheating, there were actually five people who came to challenge in the afternoon.

This is different from what Luo Mu said.

However, the Bud Crown King was still very happy about this.

I'm used to being idle on the farm every day, so it's quite novel to do some work as an acting museum owner.

It was already thinking about bringing the Zygarde Core over to take a look the next time it became the acting gym leader.

Following the process that Zhihuixing had first instructed, the Bud Crown King rigorously stamped the five forms with "passed" or "failed" labels one by one, and then placed them in a locked mailbox behind the gym.

Although it is a bit primitive, there are people who collect these forms every day, compare them with the system registration, and then compile a list of players who are qualified to participate.

After almost finishing the cleanup, Crown of Buds brought the Solsticeons that had fought hard today to the backyard of the gym, and together with Luo Mu who also returned on time, they returned to the farm in a pickup truck.

In the following week, the gym was operating normally, and compared to Luo Mu, it was Lei Guan Wang or Zhihuixing who spent more time as acting gym leaders.

December 799, year 4 of the alliance calendar.

evening.

Luo Mu was sitting in front of the computer, contacting the team leader through the forum.

After taking a photo of the hand-drawn map he had prepared and sending it to the other party, Luo Mu originally wanted to open the email that Shinji, who was far away in the Sinnoh region, had sent him not long ago.

But the title of a pinned post on the forum caught his attention.

He blinked and dictated the title.

"One of the Padia Urban Legends: The Big-Headed Ghost at the Flat Disc Gym?"

"No, what is this?"

Luo Mu's eyes suddenly widened, and he subconsciously stood up from the chair, accidentally stepping on the tail of the wind speed dog who was concentrating on chewing slippers next to him.
