Pokémon, start your journey from the East Glory Alliance

"You are so good, Su Yuan, you really don't consider us as brothers, right? You told us that you had to rest for a day, and then you secretly ran to the gym to fight after that, right?"

"Uh, that's not the case. Listen to me first."

Su Yuan didn't expect Zhang Long's reaction to be so big, so he quickly explained.

"I got this badge completely by accident, in the morning..."

He explained from beginning to end what happened when he went out to buy energy cubes in the morning and met Ma Tianyi.

After listening to this, Zhang Long sighed helplessly.

"So that's how it is. There's really nothing we can do about it."

Su Yuan noticed that the atmosphere was a little strange and asked in confusion.

"No, what's wrong? What's going on?"

Zhang Long wanted to speak, but in the end he couldn't get the words out.

"Let me tell you."

In the end, it was Zhuang Yan who explained.

"Su Yuan, this meal is actually a farewell dinner for Zhang Long and us."

"Ah? What food? Did I hear correctly?"

Su Yuan didn't react at first and thought he had heard it wrong.

"It's a farewell dinner. After this meal, Zhang Long will leave tomorrow morning after finishing the gym challenge."

"No, what's going on? Zhang Long, why are you leaving?"

Now it was Su Yuan's turn to lose his composure. He frowned and looked at Zhang Long with a familiar expression, hoping to get an answer from his face.

Zhang Long smiled bitterly and then explained.

"I also received a call this afternoon. Something happened at home and they asked me to go back as soon as possible..."

Chapter 261: This time, I am the audience

Life is not always perfect, just as Su Yuan once thought that the iron triangle formed by himself, Zhang Long and Zhuang Yan would travel until the end.

But all good things must come to an end, and the accident happened so suddenly. Due to some family reasons, Zhang Long had to stop his trip and go back immediately.

Su Yuan could have let him go back first, and he and Zhuang Yan could have waited for him in Hangzhou for a few days.

But Zhang Long rejected Su Yuan's suggestion. Although he did not say why he went back, he was afraid that he would not come back for a while once he left.

In other words, if Su Yuan wants to see Zhang Long again after they part tomorrow, he will probably have to wait until the end of the semester to return to school to report on his travel and study progress.

That's true, no one can accompany others forever.

It’s like Xiaozhi has been traveling for ten years and his companions have changed one after another.

Apart from Pikachu, no one else can accompany Xiaozhi from beginning to end, and he cannot expect Zhang Long to accompany him on the journey forever.

Thinking of this, Su Yuan suddenly looked at Zhuang Yan and asked tentatively.

"Brother Zhuang Yan, you're not leaving too, are you?"

Zhuang Yan smiled.

"Probably not for the time being."

"temporary?!"

Su Yuan just felt his heart skip a beat.

Zhuang Yan said.

"I didn't want to tell you, but since you asked, I'll tell you. Once you reach Dongshan, you may have to go on your own for the rest of the journey."

"Dongshan."

In fact, Su Yuan already had some guesses in his mind.

Zhuang Yan was also going to participate in the Donghuang Alliance Competition, and he was wasting his time preparing for the competition by accompanying him and Zhang Long on the trip.

Therefore, when the trip reaches Dongshan, he will stop there and begin to prepare wholeheartedly for the Donghuang League Competition.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the private room was a little depressing.

In the end, it was Zhang Long who spoke first.

"Okay, don't think too much, Su Yuan, listen to me. Although I will go home tomorrow, it does not mean that my journey to the training room will stop here. Don't let me and Brother Zhuang Yan both arrive at the league competition, while you stop there."

Su Yuan scolded with a smile.

"What are you talking about? I won't stop even if you do. I won't stop easily until my ideal is realized."

With ideals as the starting point, the atmosphere finally eased and the three of them chatted about their future ideals.

The next morning, the three of them packed their bags and set off for the Spiritual Gym.

But this time, only Zhang Long participated in the gym challenge.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the Spiritual Gym was already open and there were quite a few people queuing up.

"Wow, quite a few people have already arrived. I thought we were up pretty early."

Outside the gym, Zhang Long looked at the people partying at the gym registration desk.

"We did get up early, but were delayed by someone packing their luggage."

Su Yuan couldn't help but complain to Zhang Long. He didn't understand. Couldn't he finish the gym challenge first and then go back to pack his luggage? Why did he have to pack his luggage and carry a travel bag to participate in the gym competition?

Even if you are in a hurry, there is no need to do this.

Zhang Long smiled awkwardly and explained.

"Ahahaha, I can't help it. I have to catch a flight, so I packed it in advance so that I can finish the gym challenge and go directly to the airport."

Zhuang Yan asked.

"Are you in such a hurry? Do you want to save even the time of a round trip to the hotel?"

Zhang Long's face looked even weaker.

"Well, I drank too much yesterday, and I didn't read it carefully when I bought the ticket. I bought a ticket that took off at 10 o'clock this morning."

“You’re awesome.”

Just when Su Yuan was complaining about Zhang Long, a familiar voice sounded.

"Friend Su."

Su Yuan looked in the direction of the voice and saw Ma Tianyi, who was wearing a Tai Chi suit and had obviously just returned from morning exercise, standing beside him and greeting Su Yuan cheerfully.

"Master Ma, what a coincidence, have you just returned from morning exercise?"

"Haha, yeah, I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that I ran into you guys just after I got back."

"Master Ma?"

Zhuang Yan and Zhang Long both looked at the not-too-tall middle-aged man in front of them with some surprise.

As he spoke, he glanced at Zhang Long and Zhuang Yan, then looked at Zhang Long who was carrying a travel bag.

"This young man must be Zhang Long."

Zhang Long nodded.

"Hello, Master Ma, please give me your guidance in the battle later."

Ma Tianyi laughed.

"No problem, no problem. Young Master Zhang Long is indeed as passionate and enthusiastic as they said."

"Them? Who are they?"

Su Yuan explained.

"Who else could it be? It could be the gym leaders who fought against us. Didn't I tell you before that our story has spread among the gym leaders' circle?"

"Oh, that's it."

Zhang Long clapped his hands, looking as if he had suddenly realized something.

Ma Tianyi on the side looked at Zhuang Yan.

"I guess you must be young friend Zhuang Yan."

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Master Ma."

"Haha, nice to meet you. I haven't seen the holder of eight top badges in Yuhang for many years. Let's communicate when we have time."

Ma Tianyi looked at Zhuang Yan with a bit more heat in his eyes.

Zhuang Yan also became interested.

"Of course, I'm extremely happy."

As he spoke, Ma Tianyi suddenly thought of something, turned around and said to Su Yuan with a slightly apologetic look.

"I'm sorry, little friend Su Yuan. I was in a hurry to get back to the gym yesterday and forgot to register your badge. Come on, give me your trainer ID card now and I'll have someone register it for you."

Su Yuan took out his ID card from his pocket and handed it to Ma Tianyi.

Ma Tianyi took the ID card and handed it to a staff member. The matter personally entrusted by the gym master was quickly completed.

At the same time, Su Yuan finally got the hint of the golden finger.

[Task Progress +1

Series of Mission Five: Spiritual Gym Challenge Completed!

Rewards: Reward battle points*10000 points, special skill points 10, secret skill machine*1]

Nice, now I can make energy blocks to the intermediate level. However, at this rate, I will probably need to push two more gyms to unlock the advanced level and make advanced energy blocks.

But it’s okay. I can’t afford an energy cube making machine at the moment anyway.

Even if I turn on advanced production, there is no machine for me to use, so I'd better wait and see.

After chatting for a while, Ma Tianyi said goodbye to the three and began to prepare to meet the challenger, while Su Yuan and Zhang Long bought two tickets and went to the audience seats.

“La~, la la la~, la la la la la~!”

The exciting music in the audience seats echoed in my ears, and a huge screen broadcast the situation on the battlefield from various angles.

Below the audience seats is the battle field, where a vigorous young trainer is fighting and working hard to achieve his dream.

"Is this what it feels like to sit in the audience and watch a game? It really makes my blood boil!"

After playing in the gym competition for so long, it was the first time for Su Yuan to sit in the audience and watch other people fight live. In the past, he was the one fighting on the field and others watched, but this time, he was also a spectator.

The warm atmosphere and exciting Pokémon battles on site deeply moved Su Yuan. It turned out that watching others fight in the audience was so interesting. No wonder there were so many spectators at every gym competition.

Chapter 262: Please don't waste my precious time.

Spiritual Gym, the Gym Challenge is in progress.

Challengers and gym trainers collide on the battle field, trainers battle wits with each other, and Pokémon fight with Pokémon interweave into a series of exciting scenes.

Whenever the battle reaches a critical moment, the passionate music sounds, as if echoing the challenger's inner world.

When the referee's whistle sounds and the final result of the battle is decided, whether the challenge is a failure or a victory, the audience outside the venue will give the challenger the warmest applause and cheers.

Finally, as the previous challenger on the battlefield regretfully withdrew, the information of the next challenger appeared on the big screen.

"Let's welcome the next challenger, Zhang Long, with applause!"

Amidst warm applause and cheers, Zhang Long stepped onto the battlefield.

Zhang Long stood in the center, looked around, and soon found Su Yuan and Zhuang Yan in the audience.

He looked at the two of them and raised his right hand and gave a thumbs up. On his face, there was still Su Yuan's familiar smile, sunny, cheerful and with unparalleled confidence.

"You guys, just watch my performance carefully!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was immediately ignited, and the audience thought that these words were directed at them.
