Pokémon, start your journey from the East Glory Alliance

Huang Hefeng explained.

"It's actually useless. It just gives you access to a VIP viewing room. And the conditions for issuing VIP cards are different for each gym, so you haven't seen them very often."

"I see. Then, Brother Huang, how did you get this VIP card?"

“Someone else gave it to me.”

"Sent?"

"uh-huh."

Huang Hefeng nodded and explained.

"It was given to me by Li Yunqin three years ago when he passed the gym leader assessment and took over the position. To be honest, I never used it. After all, I was depressed for a while after the defeat in the league competition. Then I stayed in the martial arts gym in Foshan and never came here."

Su Yuan and the other two looked at each other. Wow, the childhood sweetheart gym leader gave me a VIP card on the day I became the gym leader. Don't you understand what this means? Brother, you really have gone crazy from practicing martial arts.

"Hello, distinguished guest. This is your VIP card. Please come this way."

The waiter's attitude suddenly became more friendly. The reason was simple: he discovered that the VIP card in Huang Hefeng's hand was the only one given out in the entire Huaguang Dojo.

In this case, there is no need to explain the identity of this VIP, he is definitely an extraordinary person.

"Thank you."

Huang Hefeng took back his VIP card.

"Then Brother Su Yuan, Brother Zhang Long, we will go to the VIP room and wait for you. Come on, both of you."

"Don't worry, Brother Huang. I will never let you two down for your special training!"

Zhang Long patted his chest and assured confidently.

"I see. You two go first."

After separating from Huang Hefeng and the others, Su Yuan and Zhang Long completed the level and walked towards the players' preparation lounge.

Since it was the school term, there were not many trainers participating in the gym challenge. Apart from the two of them, there were only eight people in the entire preparation lounge.

"There are so few people. For a city as big as South Vietnam, are there only a few people coming to participate in the gym challenge?"

Zhang Long sighed as he looked at the empty lounge.

"It's normal. After all, most people are in school. If you come here during the holidays, it will definitely be a different scene."

Su Yuan found a place to sit down and looked at the big screen beside him. The afternoon gym challenge had not yet started, and a replay of the previous challenge was playing on the screen.

Chapter 157: Silly Warrior and Tsundere Childhood Sweetheart

"Good afternoon, dear audience friends! Welcome to Huaguang Gym."

Huaguang Dojo, as the lights in the center of the dojo lit up, the host's voice echoed in the venue through the loudspeaker.

As the lights came on, the audience on the stage cheered.

"We have witnessed one outstanding challenger after another this morning. Now let us witness a brand new challenger! Dear trainers, let us burn our passion and shine!"

As the host's voice fell, a burst of passionate rock music sounded, and electric lights jumped above the battlefield.

"Oh, it's started. I wonder which one of Su Yuan and the others will be on stage next."

In the VIP room, Huang Hefeng and Zhuang Yan sat on the sofa and looked out at the arena. This was the location with the best view in the entire gym. Not only that, there was also separate air conditioning and soft sofas. The viewing environment was simply incomparable to that of the ordinary audience seats below.

"Don't worry, with their strength, it won't be a problem for them to defeat the Huaguang Gym."

Huang Hefeng was quite confident in Su Yuan and Zhang Long. One was the one trained jointly by himself and Zhuang Yan, and the other defeated his entire second team with just a Haunter. Moreover, his Haunter also evolved into Gengar, greatly increasing his strength.

To be honest, in his opinion, Su Yuan's Gengar alone is fully capable of challenging a four-badge level gym, and defeating a two-badge gym is not a difficult matter.

"Oh? So in your eyes, our Huaguang Gym is so inferior?"

Just as Huang Hefeng was happily eating fruit, a cold voice sounded in the room.

Zhuang Yan turned around and glanced at Huang Hefeng, but Huang Hefeng's expression turned bad.

"Haha, long time no see, Yunqin."

Huang Hefeng put down the fruit he had taken a bite of, turned back stiffly and greeted him.

At the door of the VIP room, I saw a royal sister wearing a slim purple cheongsam standing. The purple cheongsam outlined her perfect figure and any extra thickness would make her look thinner. Her straight and slender black legs were faintly visible under the cheongsam. A jade hairpin was inserted in her long hair, and her white skin and red lips set off each other, making her look dignified and luxurious.

"Haha, so you still know me."

Li Yunqin looked at Huang Hefeng with a smile.

"Look at what you are saying, how could I not know you? What is the relationship between us? We were friends when we were kids, peeing and playing in the mud together."

Huang Hefeng said with a smile.

Li Yunqin's beautiful eyes suddenly showed murderous intent, but seeing that there were other people here, she couldn't act violently.

"Who is this?"

"Oh, this is my brother, Zhuang Yan!"

Huang Hefeng put his arm around Zhuang Yan's neck and introduced him enthusiastically.

"Brother Zhuang Yan, she is Li Yunqin, the owner of Huaguang Gym, and she is also my childhood friend."

Zhuang Yan raised his eyelids. Oh my goodness, is this how you call this relationship? Shouldn't we introduce them as childhood sweethearts? Brother, are you really stupid or are you just pretending to be stupid?

However, Zhuang Yan still greeted him politely.

"Hello, Master Li, I'm Zhuang Yan, from Dongshan."

"Hello."

Li Yunqin nodded politely and said hello, then looked at Huang Hefeng and asked with some dissatisfaction.

"I heard from Uncle Huang that you arrived here five days ago. Why didn't you come to see me right away?"

"Damn it, Dad. I clearly told him not to tell anyone."

Huang Hefeng muttered something quietly, then explained with an awkward smile.

"Haha, well, how should I put it. Brother Zhuang Yan and I hit it off right away, and then we stayed together for two days, so I forgot to tell you, haha, and you see, you're here today."

"My grass!"

Hearing Huang Hefeng's answer, Zhuang Yan felt a chill down his spine.

He noticed that there was something obviously wrong with the way Li Yunqin looked at him, as if he had robbed something from her and she wanted to skin him alive.

However, Huang Hefeng didn't notice the change in Li Yunqin's expression at all, and just talked about his experiences over the past two days.

How did he hit it off with Zhuang Yan and the others, how did they eat and train together, how did they fight and compete with each other.

The more I talk, the more excited I get, and the happier I get.

“Haha, let me tell you, after the special training between me and brother Zhuang Yan, brother Zhang Long will have no problem fighting against an opponent with adverse attributes. And as for my brother Su Yuan, you know what, I see unlimited possibilities in him. Maybe he can become the league champion in the future, hahahahaha!”

"Stop talking, Brother Huang, I beg you to stop talking."

Zhuang Yan was almost numb. The way Li Yunqin looked at him made her want to tear him apart alive. You really don't know how to read people's expressions at all.

"Haha, you mean, you've been hanging out with these new brothers of yours these past few days, right?"

Li Yunqin narrowed her eyes slightly, covered her lips and smiled faintly.

Huang Hefeng nodded.

"That's right, but the other two have signed up for the gym tournament. They should be in the preparation lounge now. I'll introduce them to you after their tournament is over."

"Brother Huang, please stop talking. Please let Brother Zhang Long and Brother Su Yuan go."

Zhuang Yan covered his face, unable to hold it in any longer. Aren't you just making them hate you?

"No, I'll go meet them in person later."

"Will you go meet them in person later?"

Huang Hefeng finally reacted.

"Oh, that's right, you are the gym leader."

Zhuang Yan finally couldn't help but speak out.

"Brother Huang, are you just reacting?"

Huang Hefeng laughed and scratched his head.

“Ahahaha, sorry, sorry, I forgot.

That's right, Yunqin, aren't you the gym owner? Why are you coming to our side if you're not going to test the challenger?"

Li Yunqin clasped her hands in front of her chest, holding up the majestic wonder and spoke calmly.

"I heard backstage that someone used a VIP card to open a VIP room that no one had used for a long time. I was curious about who the idiot was so I came to take a look. I didn't expect it to be you."

"I see. Haha, sorry. If I had known, I would have informed you in advance so that you wouldn't have to make another trip."

Zhuang Yan asked with some confusion.

"Brother Huang, don't you have a cell phone? I heard that your childhood sweetheart is the gym leader and you would contact her in advance."

"A cell phone, of course, but I don't use it very often."

As he said this, he took out an antique straight-bar keypad phone from his pocket.

Zhuang Yan was stunned when he saw this antique keypad phone from more than a decade ago. He asked, "Brother, have you traveled through time? You are still using this antique, and even the screen is black and white!"

Looking at Huang Hefeng's antique cell phone, Li Yunqin frowned slightly.

"Why are you still using this phone?"

"Haha, a cell phone is fine as long as it works. Why be so particular about it? Besides, this is the one you gave me. I couldn't bear to replace it, so I kept it. It's really durable."

After seeing this antique mobile phone, Li Yunqin's expression eased a lot. He snorted and turned to walk outside.

"Hmph, all of you guys just rest here first. I have to go get ready for the challenge. By the way, you should change your phone. I'll have someone get you one later."

In a direction that the two of them could not see, Li Yunqin's stern face revealed a satisfied smile, and then he quickly left the VIP room.

Chapter 158: Zhang Long’s Special Training Results

On the battlefield of Huaguang Gym, lights are flashing and music is exciting.

A Pokémon trainer stepped onto the battle field and began his challenge.

Su Yuan and Zhang Long sat on the chairs in the lounge and stared at the big screen.

It was somewhat beyond Su Yuan and Zhang Long's expectations that the gym challenge had already gone on for several rounds, but so far no one had succeeded in meeting the gym master.

This Huaguang Gym seemed to be much stronger than any other gym they had seen before.

Or maybe it's because Electric Pokémon have no other obvious weaknesses except for the ground, which makes it particularly difficult for challengers.

Or is it because of something else?

Su Yuan had a feeling that this was definitely not simply because of the electric Pokémon. Su Yuan noticed that a challenger had successfully challenged the last gatekeeper before, but the strength of this last gatekeeper was obviously stronger than the previous two.

Did they do this on purpose?

For a moment, Su Yuan couldn't figure out what was going on, so he could only remind him.

"Zhang Long, it looks like this Huaguang Gym is a little different. Be careful later."

Zhang Long said confidently.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine."

Zhang Long, who had undergone special training, was full of confidence and was not affected by this strange phenomenon at all. He just thought that the other challengers were not strong enough and that was why they couldn't even see a gym master.

Soon, the eighth challenger on the screen also failed, and his Rumble Stone unfortunately fell under the bubble light of the electric monster.

"The challenge failed. Please welcome the next challenger."

As the host on the big screen announced the winner, the broadcast in the lounge also sounded simultaneously.

"Please welcome challenger number nine, Zhang Long, to the stage."
