Pokémon, start your journey from the East Glory Alliance

The guy at the front desk took the trainer ID card from Su Yuan's hand and was stunned for a moment.

Six badges, and all of them are from top gyms. This guy is extraordinary.

However, despite the accident, he still has the necessary professional qualities.

Immediately helped Su Yuan complete the registration.

"Okay sir, here is your challenge number and ID card, please go left this way."

"Thank you."

Su Yuan thanked him and then turned to look at Zhuang Yan.

"Brother Zhuangyan, I'll go first."

"Well, come on, brother Su Yuan, I'm rooting for you."

With a wave of his hand, Su Yuan walked towards the contestant channel.

Unlike other gyms, Su Yuan discovered that the number of trainers coming to challenge the Panju Gym seemed to be much smaller than that of trainers in other gyms.

There were only a few trainers waiting in the empty Challenger Preparation Room.

He glanced at the challenger number in his hand.

"I'm number 11, and there are still six people included here. In other words, only five challengers have appeared so far today."

Su Yuan muttered to himself, found a seat and sat down to start watching the live broadcast on the big screen. The person being challenged on the screen was challenger number five.

The fifth challenger who is taking the qualification challenge is a trainer with four medals, and his partner is a Flame Bearcat.

"That's interesting. A Fire and Fighting Pyrotechnic, both of which can target Steel-type Pokémon."

Su Yuan supported his head with one hand and played with the serial number card in the other hand, quietly watching the qualifying challenge on the screen.

Haoyan Mengjiang's first match is against Bug Steel Forritos.

There is nothing much to say. He was held down by the hammer by Hao Yan Mengjiang and was killed instantly with two flaming fists.

In the second game, the gatekeeper sent out a targeted Pokémon.

Emperor Nabo, one of the fourth generation's three great water-type creatures, water plus steel.

Although the water attribute can defeat the fire attribute Haoyan Mengjiang, the fighting attribute Haoyan Mengjiang can also restrain the steel attribute Emperor Nabo.

This fight was quite interesting, with both sides fighting back and forth, but in the end the challenger was more skilled and General Hao Yan successfully ended the match with a absorbing punch.

Soon, he encountered the last gatekeeper. As long as he defeated this gatekeeper, he would be able to challenge the gym leader.

Soon, the third gatekeeper appeared, the Poké Ball drew an arc in the air, and a Pokémon appeared on the battlefield.

Dark brown body, red patterns, steel crest, and huge claws.

The Pokémon sent out by the third gatekeeper is Diglett!

Chapter 319: Is this another acquaintance?

"Interesting, really interesting, the dragon-headed gophers have come out."

Su Yuan touched his chin with a big smile on his face.

"Without the weather hand to start the sandstorm, can you, the Sandstorm Team's stalwart, still display your full strength?"

Su Yuan had just finished talking about whether it could still exert its due strength without the weather hand, but the next moment, the gatekeeper No. 3 directly commanded the dragon head mole to manually create a sandstorm.

"Oh, do you want to use this sandstorm even if it means wasting a turn?"

Su Yuan sighed, and the battle continued.

Although the opportunity to take the initiative was wasted by opening the weather, the Dragon Head Ground Rat showed its due strength under the sandstorm weather.

He simply dug a hole and shuttled back and forth on the battlefield, torturing General Hao Yan terribly.

Although he was able to recover by relying on the absorbing punch, he couldn't hit the dragon-headed rat at all.

In the end, General Hao Yan was killed by the Dragon Head Ground Rat in a sandstorm.

With the fall of General Hao Yan, the challenger No. 5 was also powerless to turn the situation around.

He then sent out a snorkeling weasel, which also had the same properties as the dragon-headed mole.

But unfortunately, it is still no match for the Dragon Head Rat. It is obvious that the level gap is too big.

After Snorkeling Weasel fell, he sent out another Psyduck.

"Could it be that this little brother has not trained any other Pokémon besides the Great Flame Warrior?"

It can be seen that he did his homework in order to challenge the Panju Gym, but he did not do much homework and obviously did not meet the level requirements to challenge the fifth gym.

"Tsk, what a pity! It would be better if the training level was higher."

Su Yuan sighed.

Soon the next challenger appeared, also a holder of four badges, and his starting Pokémon was a Gallant.

With a swing of the Gramma stick, he easily solved the self-destructive Magneto sent by Gatekeeper No. 1.

Then he continued to advance with great momentum, as if he was going to defeat the gym leader in one fell swoop.

As a result, he also fell to the hands of Gatekeeper No. 3.

This time, the gatekeeper No. 3 sent out Grass Steel and Nut Dumbbell.

Wow, the parasitic seed family is guarding well, the gyro ball is whipped hard, and the iron wall attack belt is knocked down.

The main feature is sunshine and cheerfulness.

“I seem to have discovered a pattern.”

Watching the sixth challenger leave the stage, Su Yuan had a guess in his mind.

However, he still needs to verify this speculation.

Soon the seventh challenger appeared, and the Pokémon he sent out was Infernape.

With the same rapid progress, he arrived at the third gatekeeper.

This time, the third gatekeeper sent out a steel armored crow.

Then he was paralyzed by Steelix's Brave Bird's fierce attack.

"Haha, I see, it's true."

Su Yuan, who saw through the pattern, couldn't help but laugh out loud, and this laugh immediately attracted the attention of other challengers.

However, Su Yuan didn't care at all because he had figured out the pattern of how the gatekeeper of the Panju Gym used Pokémon.

First, Gatekeeper No. 1 will send out an ordinary Steel-type Pokémon to test the challenger. If the challenger chooses to use a Pokémon that restrains Steel-type Pokémon to fight, Gatekeeper No. 2 will continue to use a restrained Pokémon to guide the challenger.

In the final analysis, the first two gatekeepers are just appetizers. The real difficulty comes from gatekeeper number three. When gatekeeper number three appears, he will go against his usual behavior and send out a Pokémon that is far more powerful than the first two gatekeepers.

In addition to the steel attribute, this Pokémon must have another attribute that can restrain the challenger, or it must be a Pokémon that is extremely difficult to be targeted by the challenger's Pokémon.

"Interesting. Although I don't know why they arranged it this way, if it's like this, then I have to study carefully who should start next time."

The Pokémon he plans to choose for this challenge are Agitoro, Flamehawk, and Gyarados.

The reason for choosing these three Pokémon is simple: they are high level and have superior attributes.

If the third gatekeeper chooses a Pokémon that restrains the attributes of his starting Pokémon, then if he starts with Flamehawk and Gyarados, the third gatekeeper is very likely to send out the steel-type and home appliance-type Magneto, or a Pokémon that is a combination of steel and rock.

And if you start with Agitoro, then Lucario will be the last to appear as expected.

In that case, let’s start with Gyarados.

Su Yuan grinned.

In this way, no matter whether the last one sent out by the opponent is Electric Steel or Rock Steel, you can let Gyarados teach him a lesson with an Earthquake.

What, you ask where Gyarados' earthquake came from?

With a good teacher like Boskodora around, Gyarados can only learn the two moves of Earthquake and Stone Attack. Otherwise, Boskodora would like to teach him all his unique skills.

The challenge continues, and finally it is the turn of challenger number nine.

Like Su Yuan, he understood the rules of the qualification challenge and made a substitution when challenging Gatekeeper No. 3.

Gatekeeper number three.

"It has been decided that it is you, go, Emperor Nabo."

Challenger number nine grinned.

"Haha, I knew it would be like this. I've decided it's you. Go ahead, Electabuzz!"

"Hey!"

The yellow Electabuzz faced the blue Emperor Nabo.

"Oh, you've changed people. Are you not going to continue filming your flaming horse?"

Gatekeeper No. 3 was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that the ninth challenger, who was only taking his turn today, would be able to see the pattern in the gatekeepers' selection of Pokémon.

"Haha, keep sending out Flamehorse? Do you think I'm stupid? Come on, Electabuzz, use Thunder."

“Hey~!”

After several battles, Emperor Nabo, whose double bases were resisted by Electabuzz, was finally defeated.

Finally, the first challenger to challenge the gym leader was born this morning.

"That's interesting. That's great. I'll trouble you to explore the way for me and let me see what legend this steel master has."

"Ladies and gentlemen, let us celebrate with warm applause the birth of today's first gym leader challenger!"

Encouraged by the host, the entire gymnasium erupted in warm applause.

"Now, let's give a warm round of applause to the owner of the Panju Gym, the famous blacksmith, manufacturer, and Pokémon trainer in Jeju Prefecture, Zheng Hongyuan, the owner of the Panju Gym!"

Then there broke out a round of applause and cheers that was even more enthusiastic than before.

The lights went out and the spotlight dropped.

A handsome middle-aged man who looked to be in his thirties and had a strong physique slowly walked out from the backstage.

This handsome uncle was dressed quite simply, wearing the professional attire of a blacksmith. The grey coat could not hide his muscular figure. He had neat short hair, a face as firm as steel, and a belt specially equipped by the Alliance for gym masters around his waist, with six Poké Balls stuck on it.

However, looking at the gym leader on the screen, Su Yuan inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity.

Could it be another acquaintance? How could Donghuang be so big that there were acquaintances everywhere?

"Why does he look more and more familiar? Zheng Henggang... Steel-type gym leader... Last name is Zheng..."

Su Yuan recalled that during the Lingnan University campus competition, he encountered an opponent with the same surname Zheng who used Steel-type Pokémon.

"Liang Yi Si Xiang Mirror, Zheng Hongxuan, wow, this Zheng Henggang couldn't be Zheng Hongxuan's uncle."

Chapter 320: The Gym Challenge after a long absence

"Welcome, challenger. Being able to stand on this stage and face me proves your strength."

On the battlefield, Zheng Henggang waved his hand and said to the challenger.

"So now, are you ready for the final test?"

Challenger No. 9 also became excited.

"Come on, I'm ready."

"Well, I admire young people like you."

As he spoke, Zheng Henggang took out a Poké Ball.

"Then it's decided to be you, go ahead, the great bronze elephant!"

"Woo~!"

A three-meter-tall, square-shaped elephant with a copper-green color mixed with brass patterns appeared on the battlefield.
