Good morning, noon and night, hello, trainer

But Xiaozhi didn't seem to listen. He suddenly became excited and planned to take Pikachu for special training.

Is it time to train Pikachu?!

"Lars! I won't be so embarrassed next time we meet! I will definitely impress you and Xiao Mao at the regional conference!"

...never mind.

Lars shrugged. It would be a bit unlike Xiaozhi if he didn't think about the close combat.

In short, Xiaozhi has a short memory, so he will come to help him deepen his memory when the time comes.

There is only one champion, and he only respects victory!

"How should I entertain Xiaozhi next time? That's the problem."

"Before that, you should explain it to me."

Iselin came behind Lars, tugged at her clothes, and stared at him with resentful eyes.

"You didn't conjure up this outfit at all. You planned to wear it yourself, right?"

“…I don’t know anything!”

Kanto Region: Is the handsome guy here in Chapter 12?

Iselin looked deeply at Lars who was pretending to be stupid.

I sighed and thought, okay, there's no need to go into it any further.

"How many points did the gym battle give you?"

"8 point."

Lars replied, but couldn't figure out why it was 8 o'clock.

Although the insect catcher is at the novice level, Xiaogang is not that much better than him, or he is only a little bit better.

"We still need to fight more battles as a reference before we can make a better judgment."

"Hey, since this gym trainer is so worth it, why don't you challenge him to farm some more?"

Iselin suggested.

"Excluding Magikarp and Charmeleon, plus my Metagross, I can still farm at least three more times."

Lars laughed when he heard it.

"You're so bad, I like it."

So, the gym trainers in Phenix City were in trouble today.

I received the challenge right after I came back from the Pokémon Center, and then I ran to the Pokémon Center again and received the challenge again, three times in total.

Now Las has so many gray badges that he can collect one, use one, recruit people, and give one away.

Earn blood.

"It's a pity that Magikarp is still Magikarp, otherwise I could have spawned it again."

Looking at his score of 23, Lass couldn't help but sigh that Xiaogang was such a good person.

"But how come the number is 23? Shouldn't it be 32?"

Iselin was confused. Didn’t Xiaogang give 8 points? Why did it become 5 points later?

Are these 5 points the guarantee given by being a gym trainer?

So where did the three points given at the beginning of the challenge go in the subsequent challenges?

"No points for repeated challenges, right?"

Russ guessed.

I got 5 points the second time, and after repeating the challenge, the 5 points did not continue to decrease. It can be basically confirmed that these 5 points are the minimum guarantee given by the identity of a gym trainer.

Those 3 points are the points that determine Xiaogang’s own strength.

I knew it, how come Xiaogang has so many points higher than the insect catcher?

"Is it okay to be such a breastfeeding gym trainer like this?"

"Who suggested I repeat the challenge then? He even lent me his Metagross to bully people."

Las Iselin looked at each other and soon couldn't help laughing.

Thanks for the gift Xiaogang!

After a drink, Las was in a very good mood and unlocked another use for his ability to transform due to misunderstanding.

When your Pokémon team grows bigger in the future and you have counted the shortcomings, you can go find a gym and brush it. Just thinking about it is exciting.

"Then, Researcher Iselin, it's time to tell me what you want."

After eating and drinking, Lars expressed his doubts to BBA who was dining with him.

The fact that someone who had already eaten was still keeping him company obviously meant that he needed help with something.

"You want me to strip you naked for your research?"

"It's not something you can do."

Iselin took out a promotional poster and handed it to Lars.

This is a promotional poster for the Deep Gray City Museum.

Seeing this keyword, Lars was a little confused. The museum in Pitch Black City had nothing to do with it, whether in games or animations.

Is there any need to mention it?

"A never-before-seen stone was discovered on Yuejian Mountain?"

But the poster didn't give any details, only a mysterious silhouette.

It's obvious at first glance that it's not a Key Stone, Evolution Stone, Z Pure Crystal, Radiant Stone or other stones, so there's nothing to worry about.

He's not Daigo.

"You want to go to Yuejian Mountain to look for it?"

Wouldn't it be better to just say this kind of thing directly? Yuejian Mountain is the only way to go. The shortest way from Deep Gray City to Cerulean City is through Yuejian Mountain.

He also planned to get some moonstone as a backup.

"Mountain Moon is gone."

Iselin shook her head.

"You should have heard people in Deep Gray City talking about the meteorite hitting Yuejian Mountain."

Because she took the shortcut on the Metagross and arrived faster, Iselin obtained more information.

Not only did he inquire about and sort out the rumors circulating in the deep gray market, he also went to the museum to ask, and relied on his knowledge and age to join the returning research team to obtain more specific inside information.

"It's true that there are meteorites, but they don't fall from the sky; they are moved here."

Hearing this, Lars reacted immediately.

Did something from Area Zero run to Yuejian Mountain?

Are there any paradoxes?

No, if there were paradox species, Mount Tsukimi should have been sealed off. Paradox species can really kill people.

Considering that it's the mineral that no one has ever seen before that's being advertised in the museum, it should be the minerals that can be found everywhere in the lower levels of Area Zero...

The raw materials of Taijing beads...

"It seems you also have ideas about the ore. Do you know about Area Zero?"

Although it was a question, it was said in an affirmative tone. Iselin was full of doubts about Lars.

Do people who have never been to Padia know too much about it?

Before she even started to explain, I immediately understood what she wanted to express.

"Don't worry about the details. Just ask if you can make Taijingzhu."

"..."

Iselin was silent for a moment.

"It's good that you have confidence in me, but Dr. Futu hasn't even made the Taijing Pearl yet."

The implication is that you don’t know how to do it yet.

Las was disappointed by this, as he thought he could play it to the point of crystallization.

Why didn’t you, BBA, travel through time after the story started? You are so useless.

"In that case, what's the point of trying to get that ore? There's no need to worry about it eroding the minerals if it's placed in a museum."

"You really do know more about Area Zero than I do."

Iselin sighed helplessly. She found that Las was not pretending at all, but he would not tell her when asked.

"The Taicrystal Ore itself has the effect of making Pokémon Taicrystal, but it's not stable enough. It hasn't been made yet, but that doesn't mean it can't be made."

Decided to throw some bait.

And she wasn't lying. After all, she was a member of Dr. Futu's team and had participated in the advancement of related research. If she spent more time getting the actual product, she would be able to make it eventually.

It's just that when you are poor and have no equipment, the little time needed is just a little longer.

"Okay, I'll ask Professor Oak if I can get the Taijing Ore."

Las nodded and said that as long as Tai Jingzhu could do it, it would be fine.

Moreover, Professor Oak's face is quite easy to use and very simple.

"No, it's too late."

Unexpectedly, Iselin stopped Las from getting the Tai Crystal Ore through Professor Oak.

"I overheard that some guys calling themselves Team Rocket were planning to steal the Taijing Mine tonight."

Team Rocket?

The first thing Lars thought of was Musashi Kojiro, meow.

But then he quickly recalled the episode at the Pitch Black City Gym. Those three funny guys had never entered Pitch Black City before, and they were basically fighting wits and courage with the traps they had dug themselves.

I almost forgot that the Rockets have more than just those three funny guys.

"So you want to rob the thieves?"

Lars re-examined this BBA. His intelligence gathering ability is quite strong.

I managed to do so much in just a few hours.

"You know, Metagross has the power of a supercomputer. The remote museum research team is sending out frequent radio waves. It's hard not to suspect something's up."

One look at Lars's eyes and Iselin knew what he was thinking, so she explained how she discovered Team Rocket.

She didn't want to be asked to do intelligence gathering work in the future.

"And it's your idea that thieves rob each other!"

"No, I don't have any idea of ​​robbing others."

Lars shook his head and took out a strange plug-in and installed it on the illustrated book.

Soon, a call with no information displayed was connected. The person on the other end said nothing, just quietly waiting for Lars to speak.

"Handsome, I know you're here."

Kanto Region: Chapter 13 Theatrical Version Aborted

As soon as this phone call came in, the matter was over.

It was just a simple trip to the museum, and when he came back, Lars was able to throw the crystal ore on the table casually.
