Elf: Is the bear apprentice the weakest? I'll shatter the sky with my fists.

On the small island in the lake, trainers wearing league uniforms set up simple tents.

Many poachers carrying capture nets wanted to take this opportunity to leave, but they saw that the Alliance trainers were faster and took the lead in controlling the entry and exit of the secret realm.

The poachers were experienced in battle, and when they saw the trainers from the alliance, they all sent out their Pokémon in an attempt to break out of the encirclement.

The war is about to start.

As a result, a huge wave rose from below, and the waves tens of meters high rose out of thin air, carrying the water from the lake and surrounding the group of poachers.

The war was over.

Li Chen thought something would happen, but the poachers were suppressed in an instant.

I have a feeling that he can do it too.

“Good food.”

One person and five Pokémon said at the same time.

After landing below, Li Chen took out the alliance ID card from the back of his phone case and handed it to the person in charge of this secret realm.

"Li Chen... Oh, you're the senior student, right? Seeing your rosy complexion, you must have gained a lot from this secret realm."

The person in charge is a 35-year-old lady wearing a magenta cheongsam, and she is also the owner of Haitao Dojo.

She handed the ID card back to Li Chen and pointed to the detector next to her. "If you want to exchange for resources, you can use the items you discovered in the secret realm to exchange. The Alliance's detector will give you a fair price."

Li Chen had used the detector before, and the price was indeed reasonable.

And there is no situation of black eating black.

He placed 2/3 of the stock of metal film and steel gems into the detector and waited for good news.

During this period, the leader of Haitao Gym took Li Chen aside to chat about family matters.

"Little brother, I'm Dong Yalian, you can just call me Aunt Dong. The Little Dragon and Phoenix Cup is about to start, are you ready to warm up?"

Warming up, that is, asking if you have any ideas about challenging the gym.

The Haitao Gym is right outside, so it’s very close if you want to challenge it.

The Aluminum Steel Bridge Dragon has just evolved and needs a battle to get used to it.

Dong Yalian’s suggestion is indeed a good choice.

"Auntie Dong, I'm going to take my Pokémon to the Pokémon Center first. The long battle has drained their energy quite a bit. I'll go to the Haitao Gym to fight you later!"

Li Chen apologized, exchanged the resources for alliance contribution points, and left with his apprentice bear and Gyarados.

Looking at the lively apprentice Bear and Gyarados, Dong Yalian fell into deep thought.

This is……

A last glimmer of hope?

After leaving the secret realm, Li Chen went straight to the Pokémon Center.

What he said before was not wrong. Apprentice Bear and Gyarados had indeed experienced a long battle, and their physical strength was consumed much more than before!

"Nurse, please help me treat my Pokémon."

After handing the Poké Ball to the nurse, Li Chen sat on the sofa and turned on his mobile phone.

The mobile phone in the secret realm is no different from a brick.

Now that he had come out of the secret realm, he had to see if anyone had sent him a message.

[Class teacher He Yewen: The school has a training program. Would you like to participate? (New Student Training Plan.word)]

[Yan Yanyan: Let me see]

Li Chen replied and opened the Word document. Latias moved closer to the screen and wanted to see what this freshman training plan was.

After reading it carefully twice, I found that the purpose of this project is clear, which is to cultivate combat and exploration-oriented trainers.

To put it simply: you can fight in gyms and go to secret realms.

The school is responsible for providing resources, and students are responsible for training their own Pokémon, all week long.

You will be considered qualified only if you can challenge the initial trials of the eight major gyms and explore resources of a certain value in the secret realm alone.

Li Chen’s evaluation is: It sounds quite impressive, but I don’t know what the actual situation is.

[Class owner He Yewen: Will you participate?]

[Yan Yanyan: When will the resources arrive? ]

[Class owner He Yewen: If you participate, you can take your share when you return to school.]

[Class teacher He Yewen: By the way, this project proposal is connected to university. Our high school's corresponding university is Rongcheng University...]

[Yan Yanyan: Forget it then. Bye.]

When Li Chen saw Rongcheng University, he declined politely and turned off his phone.

If we don’t have a week off, then that means we don’t have a week off all year round, right?

The kind that has no winter or summer vacations!

Later I have to go to the university with the latest and least holidays, which is scary to think about.

It is better to have less trouble than more. He can do these things himself now. There is no need to give up his freedom for that little bit of resources.

Just as his companions had recovered, Li Chen put them on his waist and walked towards Haitao Gym.

Chapter 56: Haitao Gym, Rainy Day Battle

On the edge of the beach of Gulangyu Island, close to the sea, there is a water castle.

Various water-type Pokémon like to swim around, picking up challengers and tourists in exchange for Pokémon Food.

In stark contrast to the sunny weather, there are dark clouds here all year round, and drizzle falls continuously.

This is Haitao Dojo, which lives by water and lives with water.

"Look, that guy sitting on the dragon head of the Gyarados, isn't that the new guy from the neighboring Rongcheng a few days ago?"

On the way to the Haitao Gym, the travelers saw a Gyarados rushing around, splashing water dozens of meters high.

Instead of getting angry, they stopped and looked at each other.

"Hiss, you know what, they do look a bit like each other!"

The travelers and local residents looked at each other and slapped the Pokémon below them.

"Elbow! Even if I can't get in, it's still a good thing to take a look at the boy's profile!"

"Dude, are you a pervert? That's a man!"

"Why? Only men can attract men, understand?"

As soon as the words were spoken, a "vacuum" zone formed around the speaker.

No one wanted to get close to him.

Latias held his bear apprentice in his arms and listened to the group's conversation.

After hearing the latter part, he couldn't help but jokingly said: "Li Chen, it seems that your fame has spread a little bit now. You are being discussed everywhere."

Li Chen, who also heard those words, made a bitter face, turned his head away, and had an expression that said "I understand, I understand."

Male ketone is really scary...

Arriving at the entrance of the water castle, Dong Yalian, who had been waiting for a long time, put a raincoat on Li Chen and smiled sweetly: "Little brother, is this battle going to be broadcast live or a closed battle?"

Li Chen said without hesitation: "Keep it secret. I don't want this fight to be spread out."

He plans to send out the Aluminum Steel Bridge Dragon to fight in this battle. If the news gets out, there will probably be a lot of tactics targeting the Aluminum Steel Bridge Dragon.

The real debut battle will not start until the Little Dragon and Phoenix Cup begins.

"Is it because of the Little Dragon and Phoenix Cup?" Dong Yalian asked softly.

She thought about the upcoming competition and felt that Li Chen didn't want those trainers to know his own trump card.

Li Chen nodded: "Yeah."

"Okay, then this beginner gym challenge will be held behind closed doors."

Dong Yalian, who got the answer, entered the gym and took Li Chen to the competition venue.

Unlike Ye Yan's gym, the competition venue here is divided into two parts, water and land, each occupying 50%.

Li Chen had only seen this kind of venue on TV, and only after visiting it in person did he realize how big it was.

"It's a bit tricky, with both land and water mixed together."

Li Chen did not take it lightly. He took out his bear disciple's Poké Ball and prepared for battle.

"Little brother, this match is a 2-on-2 battle. The gym owner cannot change Pokémon, but the challenger can change at will."

"The battle ends when both Pokémon on one side lose their combat ability."

After the introduction, Dong Yalian tied up her long hair and coiled it on one side.

The drone Rotom flew down and provided commentary.

[The beginner gym challenge, initiated by challenger Li Chen, is now officially underway! ]

[Please send out your first Pokémon!]

"Disciple Bear, may you have victory!"

"The frog king blooms in the water."

Disciple Xiong was still the first to lead the first battle today, but Dong Yalian's vanguard surprised Li Chen.

It turned out to be the best player of the Rainy Day Team - the Frog King!

The yellow-green upright frog hummed a cheerful tune and clapped its hands, making rhythmic music.

The moment it appeared, the drizzle in the sky turned into moderate rain, and Li Chen also realized the role of the raincoat.

Rainy days are the tactical policy that Haitao Gym is proud of.

"Frozen Wind!"

At the beginning, Dong Yalian chose a large-scale move to reduce the physical strength of the bear apprentice.

The frequency of the Mosquito Repellent Frog King's clapping of his hands did not decrease, but this time he also spit out cold air.

A stream of icy mist gushed out of it, and then blew it towards the bear apprentice through clapping.

The falling rain became the best aid for its spread, and frost began to form on the surface of the earth.

"Disciple Bear, sword dance!"

There were not many places to stand on the ground, and the bear apprentice felt something was wrong, so he quickly ran towards the Mosquito Repellent Frog King with his unique dance steps.

The shadow of a long sword spun beside it, slashing at the spreading ice mist.

The falling frozen raindrops gave the impression of hail.

When the sword dance ended, the bear disciple's attack power increased significantly, and Li Chen issued another command: "Use rock crushing to attack!"

Apprentice Bear felt a bit hurt from being hit, and his hands kept moving, accumulating fighting energy.

Its arms turned completely brown, and it punched the Mosquito Frog King hard.

"Take this move and counterattack with water waves."

Following Dong Yalian's instructions, the Mosquito Frog King puffed out his belly, ready to use his soft belly to absorb the impact, so as to withstand the bear apprentice's rock-breaking moves.

Apprentice Xiong's actions were beyond everyone's expectations.

It punched the Mosquito Frog King's feet, and the powerful vibration caused the newly frozen ice to shatter.

Pokémon lost its balance and fell into the water. Fortunately, it was a water-type Pokémon, so it did not drown.

Li Chen threw a punch and shouted, "While it's not paying attention, hit it on the head with a lightning punch!"

With Dragonite's guidance, Apprentice Bear had already learned how to use the Thunder Fist.

At this moment, the bear disciple released electricity from his fist and launched a powerful blow, hitting the Mosquito Frog King on the forehead.

The Mosquito-Repellent Frog King in the water stretched out its green arms. After leaving the water, a water ball spinning like a basketball was spinning in its palm.
