Pokémon: Starting with Lucario and Gardevoir

"I plan to travel around for a month."

"The job of accepting trainer challenges and issuing badges will be temporarily handed over to Sabrina."

"I'll leave the daily operations of the dojo to Keiko."

Huizi nodded understandingly.

In addition to accepting challenges from trainers and cultivating talent for the League, gym leaders also need to frequently pursue further education to improve themselves.

Nazi was clearly disappointed because Haoyan was going on a trip and hadn't taken her with him.

However, she also knew that the Kaina Dojo needed someone to take care of it.

As a gym trainee, and with the gym leader absent, she needs to face the challenges of trainers.

However, she quickly adjusted, being a good girl.

After all, it's only been a month.

I will be able to see Haoyan in a month.

If she manages the dojo affairs well, she will easily win Haoyan's favor.

Upon hearing this, Naqi and Dujuan secretly nudged Yasha, signaling Yasha, who was closest to Haoyan, to speak up.

Yasha understood and said, "Brother Haoyan, what about us?"

"If you're not at the dojo, who will organize our training?"

Haoyan looked at Asha and the others and said, "After a month of special training, your combat awareness and Pokémon strength are much better than before."

"Moreover, I have already finalized your training methods."

"As long as you continue to train using the methods I have taught you, you will steadily improve."

"How about this, we'll organize a match later, and then I'll check on your situation."

"Check if there's anything that needs to be readjusted."

"If so, I'll help you adjust it before you leave."

Chapter 261 Assessment

Because they were going to conduct a practical test, Aysa and the others all looked serious and focused.

After so much hard work and training, it's finally time to test the results.

Each of them wanted to achieve a higher gym ranking in the upcoming Attribute Expert Tournament.

The higher the ranking of a dojo, the higher its annual income.

Almost every dojo owner is an outstanding local talent.

People in every city are proud of the outstanding talents in their area, so the ranking of a dojo, besides money, is also about honor!

... ...

Once they were ready, Haoyan came out.

Aysa and the others all looked at Haoyan, their faces filled with anticipation and fighting spirit.

Looking at their expressions, Haoyan knew what they wanted.

He asked, "Who's the first one here?"

"Master, let me go first!"

Teng Shu was the first to stand up and walk to the side of the battlefield.

After the fighting exchange tournament, Teng Shu continued to use Hao Yan's training methods.

I train my fighting skills with my Pokémon every day.

"Come on, Lucario." Haoyan waved to Lucario beside him.

"Makushiro Rikishi, come out!" Tengshu also released his Pokémon.

Only through combat can each person's strength be truly demonstrated.

This is a test, not a formal battle.

Haoyan didn't participate in the command, letting Lucario do his own thing.

From the very beginning, Lucario launched an attack, hurling a wave missile at Makushita Rikishi.

Seeing that Lucario didn't approach but instead used ranged attacks, Tengshu became increasingly wary.

During his special training, he became aware of how terrifying Lucario was.

It is fast, powerful, and most frustratingly difficult to defeat, because it has a very rich variety of attack methods.

"Mushiro, unleash your power!" Teng Shu shouted to give instructions.

Upon hearing this, Makushita Rikishi converted the energy within his body into a shockwave, meeting Lucario's Aura Sphere head-on.

boom!

The energy from the two battles exploded in the air, inevitably producing some smoke amidst the explosions.

"Watch out, Makushita Rikishi! Lucario will attack us now!"

"Use Protect as soon as you spot Lucario!" Tengshu shouted.

These days, the warriors under the tutelage of the vine tree often seek out Lucario to learn moves.

This is clearly Lucario's preferred fighting style.

Sure enough, Lucario dashed in front of Makushita Rikishi in a flash.

Makushita Riki executed Tengshu's plan perfectly, and a protective shield appeared around his body, blocking him.

However, Lucario merely rushed up to the front without launching an attack.

Seeing this, Teng Shu felt a sense of foreboding.

"Oh no, we've fallen for their trap!"

Lucario once again caught the high speed and flashed to Makushita's side. As soon as the protection timer expired, he grabbed Makushita's shoulder tightly.

With a skillful throw, Makushita Rikishi was sent flying into the air.

"Luca!"

Lucario shouted, and with Mamoru Sukiyaki caught in mid-air with nowhere to gain leverage, it was the perfect time to strike.

Another wave missile was launched, followed by a tile splitter, and the battle was over.

Next, Tengshu brought out other Pokémon to battle Lucario.

As expected, whether it was encountered or not, it was resolved.

... ...

After Teng Shu's battle ended, it was the next person's turn.

Aysa's Fire-type and Naki's Flying-type both bring out Charizard.

Neither Aysa nor Naki's Pokémon managed to hit Charizard.

The best situation is still with the cuckoo.

In the Rock System, the one from the Haoyan Natural School is Bangiras.

Tyranitar's massive body isn't difficult to hit, but it doesn't cause any real damage.

... ...

After the assessment, all four museum directors looked dejected.

Hao Yan, who was acting as the examiner, said to them, "Actually, you have already done very well."

"Let's talk about the vine tree first. I can see that you've made the most progress during this period."

"Your understanding of fighting techniques can be accurately transmitted to your Pokémon."

"I believe this has greatly improved their combat awareness."

"Your current strength has improved by approximately 30% compared to a month ago."

Upon hearing this, Teng Shu's expression improved considerably, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

It's not an easy thing to receive praise from Haoyan.

Haoyan then commented on Aysa, "Aysa, your Fire-type Pokémon can also make good use of the environment to cause damage."

"The speed and variety of skills of the Flame Horse give it a great advantage in battle."

"Your fire-breathing camel, although a bit slow, is a decent turret damage dealer."

"Your improvement is also significant, and the abilities your Pokémon can utilize have been perfected."

Upon receiving Haoyan's praise, Asha's eyes lit up, and she said to Haoyan with a hint of coquettishness, "Thank you, Teacher Haoyan..."

Next, Haoyan gave his comments on Naqi and Dujuan.

Each gym owner trained very diligently during this period.

The growth achieved is also very obvious.

"Alright, everyone, keep up with your normal training. There's no need to adjust your training anymore."

"With your current skill level, I believe you can achieve a good ranking in this attribute expert competition," Hao Yan said to the four with a smile.

"Yes, Master!"

"Okay, Teacher Haoyan!"

... ...

The four of them were very happy to receive Haoyan's affirmation.

Everyone is looking forward to bringing glory to their dojo in this attribute expert competition.

Seeing that Asha and the others looked so energetic, Haoyan went back to his room and started packing his luggage, preparing to go on a trip.
