Elf, who made him the gym leader?..

Chapter 19 Gu Xin finds being a museum owner quite interesting

In the reception room, the aroma of sea incense wafts through the air, making people feel relaxed and comfortable.

This is a kind of attribute item, but Gu Xin now uses it as a normal incense, which is quite good.

"There are no weak Pokémon, only weak trainers. There is actually nothing wrong with this statement, but it depends on the specific situation."

Gu Xin tapped the tea table rhythmically with his fingers and spoke to Xunzi in a more tactful way.

Just as humans have geniuses and mediocre people, the racial strength of elves also varies from one to three. This is the difference in racial bloodline, but in fact it is not completely absolute.

It's just like the difference between Beedrill and Dragonite, there is a huge difference in talent and race.

However, even if it is Beedrill, as long as you train it wholeheartedly, it can certainly be the main DPS. What's more, Beedrill can also mega evolve, and after super evolution, it will become a very powerful explosive speed attacker.

For example, in the special episode, Sakaki’s trump card is Beedrill, which is not weaker than Adu’s Dragonite.

But there are only a few people who can really train Beedrill to be extremely powerful?

How much effort and resources did Sakaki put into Beedrill to make it so powerful? Outsiders don't know.

It's not that Guxin is being harsh, but what if Sakaki put all the effort and energy he put into breeding Beedrill into Banguiras? How terrifying would that Banguiras be?
Perhaps Sakaki's Beedrill is indeed special, but Gu Xin believes that it is the result of a lot of cultivation that Sakaki has put in that is unknown to outsiders.

"If you want to become a strong trainer, you need to put in the effort to build a qualified team, and this is even more true if you specialize in a certain attribute."

Gu Xin said that a team specializing in a certain attribute and a team of multi-attribute trainers are actually very different.

If you want to build an invincible team, there are many aspects to consider.

A simple example is the attack range. If you specialize in attributes, it will be difficult to take the attack range into consideration, making it easy to be targeted.

It's like if there's a Psychic-type expert and you specially form a team of Evil-type players to fight him, and see if he'll want to hit you.

Although the special skills of elves in the real world are not limited to four, those who specialize in psychic systems will naturally be more proficient in the use of psychic skills, and evil spirits are immune to psychic systems.

How painful it would be if a fight broke out probably only the parties involved know, and this is a natural disadvantage.

The same is true for poison attributes. Although there are Crystal Flower and Flame Queen Lizard with corrosive properties, the opponent has a whole team of poison and steel Pokémon. What if Crystal Flower and Flame Queen Lizard are defeated? How frustrating!

This is the advantage of a multi-attribute trainer, because he can form Pokémon of various attributes to join the team. The team will not lack attacking surface and can adapt to various opponent lineups.

"Ms. Xunzi, your current lineup seems a little too immature to me. If you are really interested in the poison attribute, my suggestion is that you should add a few main players to the team."

Gu Xin hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Master Gu Xin, please speak." Xunzi nodded her head, not caring that Gu Xin directly pointed out the mediocreness of her lineup.

After all, she had never considered the adaptation of the main force before, nor had she thought about specializing in a certain attribute. She just let it go and conquered and cultivated them naturally.

"First, your team lacks a true DPS player and ace. I would actually recommend that you go to Lavender Town or ask around to see where Gastly and other Pokémon are lurking."

"Garsis...Geng Li?" Xunzi blinked. The final evolution of Gastly is Gengar.

"Yes, Gengar is an excellent Ghost-type and Poison-type Pokémon, and it can be trained as an ace. Even if it's not an ace, it can still become the backbone of your team."

Gu Xin nodded. There was no need to explain how excellent Gengar was, and Gu Xin knew very well that Gengar could also Mega Evolve or Gigantamax.

Even if he is trained as the team's ace, it is more than enough.

"Of course, this is my suggestion. Everyone has their own ideas for training. Miss Xunzi, you can also slowly adjust the team yourself. However, your current lineup is a bit mediocre. If you want to become truly stronger, you have to work harder."

Gu Xin has tried his best to use euphemisms.

"I understand this. If you have any other suggestions, please feel free to give me any. I will accept them with an open mind."

Xunzi has completely put herself in the position of a student. She is a strong-willed girl and she wants to become stronger.

As for Gu Xin's comments on the main lineup's flaws, it's not a big deal.

"There aren't many excellent poison-type Pokémon in Kanto. If possible, Ms. Kaoru can also capture Zubat with the penetration attribute and Gnaphalium with the escape attribute." "The final evolution of Gnaphalium with the escape attribute is Vampire with the spore attribute. If Vampire with this attribute is used well, it can also cause a lot of trouble to the opponent."

"As for the other recommendations, they are not Kanto elves."

Gu Xin thought about it and recommended Zubat and Grunt.

"I'll remember it." Xunzi kept Gu Xin's words in her heart and expressed her gratitude to him.

"If you have time, I highly recommend that you go to Alola or Padia, Ms. Xunzi. Or if you have friends there, you can ask them for help."

"I especially recommend the Night Salamander and Crystal Sprout with the Corrosive attribute. Even if it is not the Corrosive attribute, the Crystal Sprout with the Poisonous attribute is also a must-have for the Poison team."

Gu Xin added with a smile that he was indeed teaching Xunzi seriously.

The job of a gym leader is to train challengers.

"Yes! I am very grateful." The girl in kimono thanked Gu Xin again.

"If you have time, you can come to the gym to spar. If you have any questions, you can contact me and we can discuss it together."

"Thank you~"

Xunzi took the initiative to exchange contact information with Gu Xin, and then prepared to leave.

She felt that she had gained a lot from today's gym challenge and wanted to go back and sort it out.

"I am very grateful for your guidance today. I will visit you again."

At the entrance of the gym, Miss Xunzi bowed solemnly to Gu Xin again to express her gratitude.

"You're welcome. Remember to give the gym a good review." Gu Xin smiled gently.

"I can do it." Xunzi covered her mouth and chuckled, as if she also remembered the comments on Rota Gym on the Internet.

"Walk slowly."

Guxin and Irene watched Xunzi and her cheerleaders walk away.

"I feel like you can actually develop her into your apprentice."

Irene teased Gu Xin and said, "It should be said that such careful guidance is really rare."

The apprentice that Irene mentioned also has a literal meaning.

Many gym masters have many apprentices. They will share their own experiences and guide the apprentices on the details of breeding Pokémon. Strictly speaking, these apprentices are the students of the gym masters.

"I'm already a trainer who's officially on the road."

Gu Xin replied with a smile, normally the gym apprentices are mostly minors who haven't officially started their journey yet, just like the girl at the front desk who is about the same age.

However, the girl at the front desk doesn't seem to have much interest in becoming a trainer, otherwise she could have become Gu Xin's first apprentice.

"Trainers can also be apprentices." Irene raised the corner of her mouth slightly.

"It doesn't matter. The gym doesn't lack manpower anyway."

Gu Xin didn't care about apprentices. Generally, gym owners recruited apprentices not only to train new people, but also to let the apprentices help the gym.

And the Guxin Gym has no shortage of manpower.

"Take your time~"

Gu Xin stretched and spoke lazily, "The gym will get better and better, Gu Xin is now convinced of this."

And now Gu Xin really likes the job of gym owner. It is quite interesting to face challengers, give them guidance, and gain their respect and gratitude.
