Pokémon: My Bonds has a big problem

The battle soon came to an end.

Squirtle defeated the Rhyno without any danger, which made Jiro feel a little disappointed. Of course, because he always put Ange in a higher position, Jiro didn't feel very sad about this. After a moment of disappointment, he recovered.

And Squirtle even showed a smug smile.

What it is most proud of is that it can defeat those huge guys with its petite body.

However, when it saw Ange's meaningful look, it instantly became less confident.

"Jenny?"

Squirtle walked up to Ange, grabbed Ange's trouser leg and said.

Ange smiled, rubbed Squirtle's head gently, and said, "It's nothing, you did a good job, really did a great job. It's just that I thought of some other things, you don't need to consider them for the time being."

Squirtle tilted his head and showed a 'turtle puzzled.jpg' expression.

However, it still listened to Ange and did not worry too much about this matter. For it, it just had to follow Ange's arrangements.

Even if Ange feels that there is something wrong with its current battle strategy, it will change it as long as Ange gives an order.

This is it, or rather the trust that Ange's Pokémon have in him.

Jiro walked up to Ange and handed her the gray badge he had prepared earlier.

"Now, you may accept this badge."

Of course Ange won't be polite this time.

"Then I'll accept it."

Picking up the gray badge and looking at the sunlight coming in through the window, Ange smiled with satisfaction.

Chapter 176 The Four Hualan Sisters

"I will make some changes to the model of the Deep Gray Gym in the future. Thank you for your suggestions and help."

Jiro thanked Ange very politely.

Ange nodded. Xiaogang had indeed educated his brothers and sisters very well. The difficult childhood life also gave these children good emotional intelligence and empathy.

and so……

Ange patted Jiro on the shoulder and said, "If you encounter any difficulties, you can try to contact Kona Tenou. Tell her clearly about this idea, I think she should be able to give you some help."

Ange didn't say anything. After all, he wasn't sure whether Kona agreed with this idea. If Kona didn't agree with this idea, then she certainly wouldn't agree with Ange's statement. After all, it wasn't difficult to choose between Ange's idea and the stability of the entire Kanto region.

There was no expectation in Ange's eyes. Only full of confidence. He believed that his method was correct. At least in terms of improving the efficiency of the gym, his method was fine. But because he had not yet reached that level, there were many things that he was not clear about, and he could not see the overall situation, so his cognition was inevitably incorrect.

This proposal can be regarded as a test from him.

"Thanks again for your help!"

This time, Jiro bowed almost 90 degrees. Although he didn't think it would be difficult, the fact that Ange provided help was already worthy of Jiro's gratitude.

"You're welcome. I'm only offering you a possible help. It's hard to say whether you need help or whether you can get it when you really ask for help."

Ange simply dodged this bow by turning sideways.

"I have no merit."

After saying that, Ange turned around, waved at Jiro and said, "I'm leaving first. You have to solve these problems by yourself."

After watching Ange leave, Jiro looked at his back and said softly, "No wonder he is so respected by his brother even though he is not much older than him. Mr. Ange is indeed a man worthy of respect. Both in terms of strength and character."

Ange didn't expect Jiro to think so highly of himself. If you let him evaluate himself, he would be a lazy boss who likes to shirk his responsibilities.

It's easy to make suggestions, but I always like to let others implement my suggestions. This is actually not a good habit.

But Ange was also enjoying himself and had no intention of changing.

"Next, we're going to Cerulean City."

Menghuan pretended to look at the map. In fact, Menghuan was still learning how to read maps, but it was not very useful. Even if it was the wrong direction, the worst that could happen was that he would fly around the planet and then reach his destination.

For an immortal beast, this kind of thing to determine direction is of course meaningful, but not very meaningful.

Ange nodded and said, "It is indeed Cerulean City. The most famous thing there is the Cerulean Water Show. We are going to the Cerulean Gym soon, so we can go and take a look."

It is said that the gym leader, Misty, is not good at water performances. But her three sisters are very good at it. Before Misty's return, the revenue of the Cerulean Gym was very high. The taxes paid even exceeded the taxes paid by ordinary shopping malls and factories in Cerulean City. It can be said to be the economic pillar of Cerulean City.

However, almost no one can fulfill the responsibilities of a gym.

So at that time, anyone who wanted a badge could get one. The gym was almost on the verge of bankruptcy. If it weren't for the mayor of Cerulean City and other relevant personnel maintaining it, I'm afraid the alliance would have already taken action against the Cerulean gym.

However, after the gym leader Misty returned, the status of the entire gym changed.

The water show was not cancelled, but the time was adjusted. All the tasks that a gym should undertake were also undertaken. Xiaoxia's strength even made the Hualan Gym's ranking in the gym rankings reach a pretty good position.

As a result, the revenue of Hualan Gym is even better than before.

After all, as fun as water shows are, the world’s most popular sport is still Pokémon battles.

Xiaoxia and her sisters included the gym battle as part of the performance. It was also included in the ticket price. So the revenue of the entire gym went up a level.

So……

"Please pay the 200 yuan entrance fee."

The receptionist at the door said to Ange after hearing that Ange was going to challenge the gym.

Ange was stunned for a moment, then tilted her head: "Do I have to pay for the gym challenge?"

The receptionist blinked and said, "Of course not. Gym Challenges do not require payment. But if you do not want to pay the entrance fee, please enter the gym through the back door and wait in the waiting room to enter."

200 yuan is not expensive at all. You can easily make this much money by picking up some fruit from the forest and selling them at the entrance of the gym.

And this entrance fee is obviously the ticket price for entering from the front and watching the water show.

It’s just that because it also involves the gym challenge, it’s called an admission fee instead of a ticket.

And because the gym challenge is the gym's responsibility, in order to reduce criticism, the person who designed all of this cleverly left a way to enter without paying.

And there is no problem with that, except that I can’t watch the water show, and it seems like I’m being discriminated against.

"Smart guy."

Ange sighed.

Again, as long as the gym's KPI is up to standard, or even exceeds it in the performance of a certain duty, the alliance doesn't mind making things easier for the gym owner.

Just like this guy Denci, because he is very strong and can fully shoulder the burden of protecting the town, the assessment of him is almost a formality.

The same is true for the current Hualan Gym. It's just a special challenge rule, and the Alliance just ignores this point of collecting money.

What's more, we have to pay taxes to the alliance. Why not?

"gentlemen?"

The receptionist spoke again, indicating that there were still many people queuing behind.

This is not only a place to receive challengers, but also a place to buy tickets. Ange can see that the front row tickets are not cheap.

200 is a friendly price for challengers.

"Okay, here's the money."

Ange was not short of money, and the other party's fee was reasonable. He did not insist on asking others to change the rules for him.

So, after paying the money, the receptionist gave Ange a card.

"041?"

"This is your challenge order. Please return this sign to my colleague when you leave. Thank you for your cooperation."

The receptionist pointed to the door and said, "You can go in now. Welcome to the Cerulean Gym. Please enjoy the dreamlike beauty of the water show and the passion of fighting with Pokémon."

Chapter 177 Xiaoxia

After entering the Hualan Gym, Ange couldn't help but exclaimed.

This was the most luxurious gym he had ever seen. It was huge, and the decorations were exquisite and luxurious. The battle platform for fighting had not appeared at this time, but Ange was sure that the beautifully decorated large pool was both a place for water performances and a place for fighting.

Of course, it has the characteristics of the Cerulean Gym, but such amazement is only because Ange has not seen such a gym decoration. If we really talk about the area, the area used for fighting in the Viridian Gym is indeed not very large. But the research site is located underground, and it is located at the junction of Viridian Forest, and a large area of ​​Viridian Forest is enclosed as an experimental area and a cultivation area. Of course, the procedures are all legal.

From this point of view, the Tokiwa Gym is the largest area. As for the Dark Gray Gym, it can only be said that its decoration is very characteristic of a rock-type gym. Simple but firm. From this perspective, it is actually in line with their positioning.

At the same time it saves money.

"Are you here to challenge the gym?"

After entering the Hualan Gym, another receptionist looked at the sign on An Ge's face, walked over and asked.

After Ange responded, he was taken to an area in the middle of the audience seats with a door at the back.

At this time, there were already several challengers sitting here, like Ange, holding signs in their hands.

When Ange was arranged to sit down, he could hear the movement of one or two people behind the door. It was obvious that the challengers who did not pay the entrance fee entered from the back door.

Ange burst out laughing.

He didn't know what to say. He really didn't think that a serious trainer preparing for the league meeting would not be able to pay 200 yuan. Therefore, the person sitting in the back was most likely simply not interested in the water show.

Or they just come here for fun. There are people like this, but they are rare. Because if you challenge yourself too often, you will be banned by the gym.

Being blacklisted by the gym is no small matter. Although it won't bring disaster to your descendants, it will still be recorded in various organizations of the alliance.

So most people don’t think so hard.

Many random thoughts flashed through Ange's mind, but most of them were still focused on the rules and regulations of these alliances. Of course, the rangers also had their own set of rules.

However, with the reforms that Ange wants to make, these rules will naturally change to a certain extent. How can such changes affect the actions of forest rangers as little as possible? Then we must make it as perfect as possible to reduce the possibility of losses.

But soon, Ange's attention was attracted by the water show not far away.

It’s not like Ange hasn’t seen performances with water as the theme.

When they were rescuing Manaphy, the circus performed the unique water acrobatics of the Water People. In fact, it can be considered a water show.

The performance at Hualan Gym is more pleasing to the eye and more dreamy. And it is actually on the water, not in a water ball. More importantly, the three girls, Sakura, Acorus, and Peony, are really beautiful.

She was much more handsome than the leading actor in the circus at that time.

It was hard to say which performance was better, as Ange was not a professional and could not judge. However, based on his personal impression, he felt that the water performance of Hualan Gym was better.
