This trainer has no moral principles

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"Not long ago, the Pokémon League held a meeting and decided that the Johto League and the Kanto League would merge into a single Quartz League. To this end, a league tournament will be held to select the new Four Heavenly Kings. The champion of the tournament will be eligible to challenge the league champion. Gym leaders from both regions and trainers who have earned eight badges are welcome to sign up to participate."

"Selecting the new Four Heavenly Kings? Where are the previous Four Heavenly Kings?"

"There used to be no regional league in Johto, so naturally there were no Four Heavenly Kings or Champions. The Four Heavenly Kings of Kanto were all disqualified due to the Utopia incident."

"The Republic Incident?"

Youzhi felt vaguely that it sounded familiar, perhaps he had seen it somewhere in his previous life, but it was probably not the setting of the Pokémon animation and games.

Dr. Soramu seemed reluctant to discuss the matter, and simply said, "To put it simply, a catastrophic event was unleashed by the Four Heavenly Kings of Kanto. Fortunately, it was stopped before it could cause any significant damage, so they were only stripped of their Heavenly King status, and no further investigation was conducted. After the incident, Heavenly King Du continued to fight crime, apprehend criminals, and made many contributions. With the guarantee of the former champion, Aka-hong, the Alliance restored his Heavenly King status. Last year, Aka-hong resigned as champion, citing training, and Du took over temporarily. Perhaps the Alliance felt that this incomplete state of affairs couldn't continue, so they decided to re-elect the Four Heavenly Kings through a competition."

Once reminded, Youzhi immediately associated it with the plot of the Pokémon special.

The Four Heavenly Kings are the villains of the first generation. Their so-called Utopia Plan is to eliminate the vast majority of humans and establish a world with only Pokémon and elite trainers. Later, they were stopped by the protagonist and Boss Sakaki.

The scene that left the most profound impression on Youzhi in this plot was not the final moment when Pikachu absorbed the energy of the Big Three Starter Pokémon and released a million volts, but the part where Boss Sakaki beat up Watari, and the god-level Beedrill was full of coolness.

As you can imagine, this thing is a dark history, a dark history that neither the Alliance nor the Four Heavenly Kings want to make public. Fortunately, Du's plan failed and was stopped before any casualties were caused. Few people knew about it, so it was not difficult to keep it secret.

"In other words, if you want to participate in the competition, you must collect the remaining four badges within a year. Hmm, it's a goal worth challenging."

The higher the level of the Pokémon, the harder it is to upgrade. As the number of badges in Yuzhi's hand increases, the difficulty of the subsequent gym challenges will also increase. After all, official duels do not allow trainers to participate in person.

One year may seem like a long time, but if you cultivate using conventional methods, you may not have enough time, unless you go to the elf world and quickly absorb experience by killing high-level elves.

After a little thought, You Zhi decided to pay more attention to information related to singularities in the future. After all, with his current strength, it was not difficult to deal with ordinary singularities.

After saying goodbye to Professor Soragi and leaving the research institute, Youzhi was thinking about the next gym to challenge when suddenly the Pokémon Book vibrated. He took it out and saw that the Pokémon designated as the tracking target was already within the effective range. Not only that, the red dot representing the target on the screen was rapidly approaching his position.

Without thinking too much, You Zhi took the initiative to walk towards the other party.

About ten minutes later, he saw the Heavenly Golden Knight wearing gorgeous armor.

"Young man, congratulations on eliminating the disaster and saving a city."

"So, you're here to fulfill your promise?"

The Heavenly Golden Knight nodded.

"According to the agreement, as long as I resolve this disaster, you will give me a fair fight," You Zhi pulled out a Pokémon card. "Are there any corresponding rules, such as only one-on-one, or no spell cards allowed?"

The Heavenly Golden Knight shook his head and said, "No need. I witnessed your battle with the Phantom Demon Emperor firsthand. Since you are capable of defeating the Phantom Demon Emperor, I am no match for you. Moreover, you have proven your character through your actions."

After saying this, she knelt on one knee, holding the sword in both hands, like a knight swearing an oath to the monarch: "I hereby pledge my loyalty. As long as the young lord does not do anything unjust, I will swear allegiance to him until death and never betray him!"

"I accept your loyalty and warning."

You Zhi took out a blank elf card and put the other party into the card. The card vibrated slightly and then calmed down completely.

Chapter 133 New Goal

After subduing the Heavenly Golden Knight, You Zhi used the Pokémon Encyclopedia to check the opponent's actual characteristics.

The attack power is still the same as the number of cards in both parties' hands * 500. It is worth mentioning that the number of cards in the hand is not equal to the number of spell cards. The elf cards that have summoned elves also belong to the hand cards. In other words, in theory, the minimum attack power of the Heavenly Golden Knight is 500.

In contrast, the attack power of the Silent Magician only counts the number of spell cards, and the effect of the spell card "Silent Magic Blast" is to refine spell cards until the number of cards in hand reaches 6. In other words, if you want to increase the attack power of the Silent Magician as much as possible, it is best not to summon too many elves to the field. In theory, "Silent Magic Blast" can only refine up to 5 spell cards.

The second characteristic of the Heavenly Golden Knight has changed significantly. The effect of the plug-in identification is to destroy all face-up cards of the same type on the opponent's field by discarding the hand cards of the corresponding type (Monster·Magic·Trap). The actual characteristic of the elf is to consume vitality and choose to destroy one of the (Elf·Instant·Spirit Storage) on the opponent's field.

Through inquiries, we learned that each time the Heavenly Golden Knight activates her characteristic, she needs to consume 30% of her vitality. In other words, if we don't take into account the spell cards that restore vitality, she can activate it up to three times, which is just enough to clear the opponent.

This change undoubtedly greatly enhanced the strength of the Heavenly Golden Knight.

However, You Zhi did not intend to summon the Heavenly Golden Knight to fight against others unless necessary. Firstly, it would be too ostentatious and conflict with his plan to improve his strength in a low-key manner. Secondly, it would easily lead to dependence and hinder the improvement of other elves.

After all, it is a LV40 ten-star Pokémon. Unless the opponent has resistance to being destroyed by the effect, even the gym leader's ace Pokémon cannot withstand the two characteristic destructions of the Celestial Golden Knight.

As long as it is combined with a large number of spell cards that restore vitality, Youzhi can completely create a sweeping tactic with the Heavenly Golden Knight as the main force, and no longer have to think about those complicated tactical coordination.

But this way of fighting is too boring, and he doesn't like it anyway.

You Zhi did not hide his thoughts and told them frankly to the Heavenly Golden Knight. The other party did not show any dissatisfaction, but instead expressed his agreement with an appreciative tone.

After reaching a consensus, Youzhi set off for Kaji Town, intending to challenge the ice gym in the town.

Originally, according to the challenge order in the Pokémon game, it should be the Fighting Gym in Azure City, the Steel Gym in Asparagus City, the Ice Gym in Kaji Town, and the Dragon Gym in Ink City. However, reality is not a game, so there is no need to follow this setting. Naturally, choose the one that is closer.

Since he doesn't have a flying-type Pokémon, Youzhi can't reach Kaji Town directly. He can only go to Yuanzhu City first, and then go to Kaji Town through the cave tunnel or cross the river.

"Wait a minute! I remember there's a plot Pokémon in the cave between Kaji Town and Enju City. You need to defeat a trainer to get it."

You Zhi took out the map of Johto District and carefully identified it, confirming that there was indeed such a place called Leibo Mountain, which was the largest cave in Johto District.

With the help of the map, he gradually recalled that the trainer was not an unknown person, but the owner of the Golden City Fighting Gym in the Kanto region. Because he failed in the competition with Nancy for the management rights of the Golden City Gym, he ran to Leibo Mountain to train and wanted to become stronger.

The opponent's signature Pokémon are Abbylon and Shavaron. After defeating them, you can obtain their pre-evolved forms, Ballon.

It is worth mentioning that although the opponent is training in the Leibo Mountain Cave, he cannot be found by entering from the tunnel entrances of Yuanzhu City and Kaji Town, at least not on the map in the game. You can only take the waterway between the two cities and find a hidden entrance by crossing the river. There is a waterfall at the entrance, and you must use the skill "Waterfall Climbing" to go to the source of the waterfall to find him.

According to the game settings, players can only use "Waterfall Climbing" after collecting all eight badges, and most players will go straight to the Quartz Alliance to challenge the Four Heavenly Kings after collecting all the badges. Therefore, very few people know this plot. Youzhi played this game over and over again before figuring out all the details.

After finishing his recollections, You Zhi did not rush to Leibo Mountain, but went to Yuanzhu Dojo to find Songye first.

"It's a wise decision for you to remain anonymous. I'm tired of dealing with interviews from reporters these days."

Songye couldn't help complaining as soon as they met.

You Zhidao: "After all, they saved a city. This is the treatment a hero deserves. Doing good deeds can gain fame and fortune, and only then will more and more people be willing to follow suit."

"It's easy to say, but I don't want this kind of treatment at all. There have been so many challengers lately that I'm so busy I don't even have time to eat. I even dream about duels at night. I feel like I'm on the verge of a nervous breakdown."

"This is also the responsibility of the museum owner. It's just a temporary trend. It will be fine once you get through it." You Zhi saw the dark circles under the other person's eyes and hurried to get down to business. "By the way, I need to find someone. I hope you can help me predict whether the person is in Leibo Mountain."

Reality is not a game. The owner of a fighting gym cannot stay in a cave all his life waiting for players to come.

Leibo Mountain is so big that it is not easy to find someone inside. If you are sure that the other person is in the cave, it would be fine. At most, it will take more time. But if the other person is not there at all, all the time spent will be a waste.

"I knew you had something to ask me, but I'm very tired now and don't have the energy to do divination for others, unless someone helps me become the gym leader and deal with the challengers."

Songye gave him a look that said, "No need for me to say more."

"Your gym is a ghost-type gym, right? I don't have any ghost-type Pokémon under my command, so I can't help you even if I want to."

"There's no such thing as a Ghost-type Gym. The official name is only the Vermillion Gym. The reason most gym owners only use Pokémon of a single type is partly due to personal preference, and partly to guide challengers to consider targeted strategies, but there's no mandatory requirement. For example, some of Xiaoqian's Pokémon are non-Normal-type Pokémon."

You Zhi thought about it, and it seemed that this was indeed the case. For example, Green, the rival of the original protagonist, later took over the position of the leader of the Evergreen Gym in Kanto District. The Pokémon he used were disorganized, with all kinds of Pokémon in his collection.

Seeing Youzhi's interest, Songye hurriedly persuaded him, "Of course, I won't let you use only your own Pokémon. I'll also provide some backup gym Pokémon, otherwise we won't be able to cope. You can also use this opportunity to train your own Pokémon. You know, going to those professional Pokémon training gyms to find someone to practice with you would cost at least a thousand a day, but here it's all free."

"Okay, I'll take over this, but I'll only help out for three days. After three days, you have to help me divine and find someone."

"no problem."

Songye agreed immediately.

Right now is the time when the news is at its hottest. Once people find out that the challenger is not himself, they will naturally lose interest. Once the hype passes, the number of challengers will return to normal levels.

Chapter 134: Fighting as a Gym Master

"The Washer Dragon Lady uses Dragon Breath!"

Following You Zhi's instructions, the apron-wearing washerwoman puffed up her mouth and spit out a shock wave containing dragon energy, which hit the rock giant squatting motionless on the ground and scratched a row of dents on the other's body surface.

[Rock Giant (3 Stars) Land]

[Pedigree: Rock]

【Level: 18】

[Attack power: 1300 (1430)]

【Defense Strength: 2000 (2200)】

[Rock Tribe, Description: Giant rock soldiers whose attacks with their massive arms shake the earth]

Due to the difference in attack and defense values ​​between the two sides, the move of the Washer Girl did not actually cause much damage, but the young trainer of the Rock Giant frowned.

Because Youzhi activated the "Ice Rink", the playing field turned into an ice surface, making it difficult for Pokémon other than water attributes to move, especially clumsy Pokémon like Rock Giant, who would slip after taking two steps and could not fight at all in this environment.

The trainer of the Rock Giant took a look at the spell card in his hand, suppressed his anxiety, and ordered the Rock Giant to continue defending.

Youzhi noticed that his opponent seemed to be waiting for something. If this was an ordinary duel, he would definitely order the Washer Dragon Girl to continue using Dragon Breath, slowly chipping away at the Rock Giant's health until his opponent could no longer help but counterattack. But now he was not a trainer, but a Gym Leader (temporary).

When facing a duel, a trainer only needs to think about how to win, but the gym leader must know when to stop. Specifically, he must choose how much to give in based on the strength of the challenger and cannot just think about winning.

Therefore, You Zhi assumed that he was not alert and ordered the elf to use the skills of the restraining spectrum according to the ordinary people's combat thinking.

"Next, use Water Wave."

After receiving the order, the Washing Dragon Girl gathered the water energy with her hands, and then pushed forward with force. A water ring like surging waves spread out.

The challenger's trainer's eyes lit up when he saw this, and he quickly slapped the spell card in his hand: "I activate 'Moon Blade'!"

[Instant Spell: Moon-Cut Blade]

[Effect: When a Rock monster on your side of the field is damaged by a restraint card, you can select 1 Spell Card on your opponent's side of the field and destroy it. This effect can only be used once per turn (there is no limit on the number of times when there is a Rock Giant on the field)]

In card duels, there are settings for one-speed, two-speed, and three-speed. For example, ordinary magic cannot be chained to trap cards, but Pokémon Duel does not care about these. Whether you can keep up depends entirely on the trainer's reaction. If the reaction is too slow, even if you have a three-speed counterattack trap, it will be useless because the opponent's spell card has ended before it can be activated.

The challenger obviously seized a good opportunity. The Washer Dragon Lady had already used her skills and it was impossible to take them back.

The water waves hit the giant rock soldier, causing its body to show signs of being washed and shattered, as if a layer of it had been scraped off. But at the same time, the spell card "Moon-cutting Blade" took effect, and a crescent-shaped blade light slashed through the air, hitting the spell card "Ice Rink", breaking it, and the ice covering the ground disappeared instantly.

"Now, use Rock Blast!"

Seeing that his attack was successful, the challenger hurriedly ordered the giant rock soldiers to attack, summoning pieces of stone to smash towards the Washer Dragon Girl, which would explode the moment they hit.

The Washing Dragon Lady dodged and counterattacked with water skills.

The two sides fought back and forth in an extremely fierce battle. The giant rock soldiers had the advantage in ability, while the laundry dragon girl had the skills to restrain attributes, making it difficult to determine the winner.

In Youzhi's opinion, the opponent has a better chance of winning. If the battle continues, the Rock Giant Soldier will most likely win because of the extra star of health. If he wants to ensure victory, he must use spell cards to help the Washer Dragon Lady evolve.

But the same thing goes, he is now the gym leader, and his opponent is just a trainer who has obtained two badges and has just escaped from rookie status. Summoning a seven-star Pokémon to fight is too harsh from the perspective of a test.

However, it would be too boring to let the two elves decide the outcome based on strength and luck.

You Zhi commanded the elves to delay time while refining spell cards, which were immediately placed on the field after completion.

At this point, the health of both elves was almost gone.

The challenger took a look at the covered spell card and felt apprehensive, guessing that it was probably a trap-storing card like "Exploding Armor", which could directly destroy the giant rock soldier once triggered.

Fortunately, the temporary gym leader on the opposite side didn't seem to recognize the "Moon-Cutting Blade" and didn't know its specific effect, so he still ordered the elves to use water attacks. Seeing this, he simply ordered the giant rock soldiers to meet it and took the initiative to be hit by a water gun.

"Right now, activate the effect of 'Moon Blade' again and destroy the opponent's spell cards on the field!"

In an instant, another dazzling crescent-shaped blade light shot out from the card surface, hitting the covered spell card and destroying it.

Seeing this, You Zhi sighed and said with regret, "You've fallen into my trap. I activated the effect of 'Unparalleled Heavenly Power Fist'. When it is destroyed, it grants a Pokémon on the field the ability of a Pokémon without any special abilities."

As soon as the words fell, the shadow of Qixi Yihao appeared behind the Washing Dragon Girl. Immediately, the attack and defense values ​​​​skyrocketed, the combat power soared, and the furry tail stood up, as if she had transformed into a "Lizard-clothed Dragon Girl". She rushed directly over the giant rock soldier, knocked it to the ground with a punch, and then danced wildly with her hands, launching a torrential attack.

The challenger was very anxious when he saw this, and quickly activated the spell card "Lucky Iron Axe" in his hand. This card can summon an axe and increase the attack power of the equipped elf by 500. Although this increase is not worth mentioning compared to the increase of the Washer Dragon Lady, he has no other spell cards in his hand and can only take a gamble.

However, the giant rock soldier who obtained the iron axe failed to stage a stunning reversal, and even failed to make full use of the equipment. In the panic, he was defeated by the laundry dragon girl using her fighting skills.

Seeing this, the referee announced: "Trainer Gojiro's three Pokémon have lost. This challenge has failed."

The washerwoman put her hands on her hips, held her head high and chest out, with an expression that said, "Come and praise me." Seeing her adorable appearance, the audience was very respectful and applauded and praised her loudly.

Yuzhi shook hands with Gojiro and then reminded him, "You played well in the first two battles, but you made two mistakes in the last one. The Rock Giant is good with swords, and you equipped it with an axe. While it seemed to increase its attack power, it actually hindered its performance. Also, I knew that the 'Moon Blade' could destroy spell cards, but I dared to cover the field with spell cards. It was clearly a trap, but you stepped into it without thinking, and your hopes of victory were ruined."

"I, I thought that each side only had one Pokémon left, and the outcome was imminent. I was too nervous, and I couldn't help but panic when something unexpected happened."

Kojiro sighed. If he were in his normal state of mind, he would have definitely spotted such an obvious trap. He could only admit defeat. "Anyway, thank you for your guidance. I will continue to challenge you in the future."

"For the indomitable brave, the door of the gym is always open."

Chapter 135: Battle against the Frontier Zone

Youzhi served as the gym leader for Songye for three days, and in the end he was almost reluctant to leave, not for any other reason, but because his experience points increased rapidly.

Reality is not a game. It is not the case that only players can increase their levels while NPCs always have fixed values. Elves that defeat challengers can also absorb spiritual particles to increase their levels.
