Chapter 947: New Gym in Kanto and a Little Science

"Hey, hey, what are you standing there for? Come back to your senses."

Looking at Xiaozhi's dazed look, Lin Jing patted his face with amusement.

"No...Brother Jing...you just...he...Arcane..."

Pointing at the Scyther that was already embedded in the tree trunk, then at Windy, Xiaozhi stuttered.

"This is how Bug-type and Fire-type Pokémon fight each other. Besides, Arcanine's speed is something that normal Pokémon can't catch up with."

As he spoke, Lin Jing also gave Windy Dog a look.

They skillfully picked up the collar and shook it twice, and the two of them landed on the wind speed dog.

In the billowing smoke and dust, Windy had disappeared with the two of them, leaving only Scyther and the insect-catching boy with confused looks on their faces.

"Arcane, you are so amazing! With just one blow, the opponent lost his ability to fight.

No wonder you won the championship, Jing-ge, you are better than Mr. Du! "

After running for an unknown distance, Xiaozhi finally came to his senses and looked at Lin Jing with starry eyes, stroking the hair on the back of the windspeed dog non-stop with his hand.

"Ouch...(this...)"

Hearing this, Windspeed Dog also broke out in a cold sweat.

I still remember what Xiaozhi said about the Windy Dog.

Wind speed dog thought of the battle with the red hedgehog head in Dr. Yamanashi's laboratory...

To be honest, even now it has no confidence that it can beat him.

"Don't get me wrong, Xiaozhi, the tournament champion is different from the regional champion and the king.

The reason we were able to win just now was because there was a big difference in level between the two sides."

Lin Jing was very happy to explain Xiaozhi's doubts.

"grade?"

"According to your understanding, the trainer who has just received the Pokémon is probably a rookie trainer. Through normal training, your Charmander, Bulbasaur, Squirtle and the like have evolved to the next stage, which means they have officially left the level of rookie trainers and barely entered the stage...

However, there are some exceptions, such as Scyther, a Pokémon that does not require levels and becomes strong enough after a period of development after birth.

Basically, even those of this type living in the wild are at the same level as the bred Charmeleon and Stotle.

It is very strong in the Viridian Forest, but it is far from enough."

"In that case, Jing's Ardennes level is really high!"

Xiaozhi looked curious.

He hadn't known there was such a thing as levels before.

In response, Lin Jing simply gestured lightly with her index finger and thumb.

"Just a little taller than that Scyther."

“Of course, using evolution to describe it only gives you a threshold to understand the classification.

After all, there are many Pokémon that do not need to evolve, or do not evolve because of the trainer's or the Pokémon's own wishes or reasons.

Although some of these Pokémon may seem very weak, in fact, due to the problem of training time, even their evolved forms may not be their opponents.

For this, it’s my Huayedi and Pokkigu.

Like the level I just mentioned, Huayedi and Windy Dog are actually at the same level. "

"Why!!!"

Xiaozhi was also very surprised when he heard this. Is such a small flower petal as strong as Arcanine? !

"So don't be too surprised, this is normal."

"Well, then! My brother Jing, what are the levels of the gyms in different places according to you?"

It was the first time that Xiaozhi heard such an interesting thing, and he became quite interested.

“That’s hard to say. In fact, there is a big gap in the strength of each gym.

For example, I heard from Professor Oak before that your Kanto region will expand the number of gyms starting this year and prepare to build gyms in other towns that don’t have gyms.

Those of this type are probably the weaker ones.

The eight gyms you already have in Kanto are the eight strongest ones."

Thinking of the report on the reasons for applying for an increase in the number of gyms in the Quartz Alliance that he had accidentally seen during his previous conversation with Professor Oak, Lin Jing felt ashamed.

The reason is probably that there are fewer and fewer trainers participating in the Quartz Conference every year, and most of them are trainers from other regions, so the Quartz Alliance is preparing to change the system.

Reduce the difficulty of existing gyms a little bit and then set up some new gyms in other towns.

Of course, these new gyms do not have the strength and responsibilities of real gyms. They are just gyms that are purely for testing new trainers.

As for why... maybe it's because there were less than 60 trainers participating in the Quartz League last year, and most of them were trainers who had traveled to other regions for a few years...

In addition, it seems that a special Pokémon appraisal test is being prepared for trainers who are unable to travel to various places to fight due to various reasons. As long as they pass the test, they can directly obtain the qualification to participate in the Quartz League like the academic school.

To be honest... when Lin Jing found out about this, her expression was probably like this (ー_ー)

How to say it...unexpected but reasonable.

Kanto is a place different from Sinnoh. Currently, there are no so-called acting gym masters among the eight gyms except for Cerulean and Nibe that I have been to. All the trainers are welcomed by real gym masters.

And letting these gym leaders review new trainers, even if they follow their minimum standards...

Thinking about the fact that a few years later, the condition for passing the Cerulean Gym is to break a Gyarados's Pray for Rain and Storm...

It seems not surprising that the alliance thought of this way to expand the appearance of the Quartz Conference.

Suddenly I understand that it was wrong at first. It seems that now should be called later? Why did the gym leaders give badges so casually when Xiaozhi was traveling in Kanto?

In addition to the fact that this guy's personality is indeed easy to be recognized by gym owners, it is estimated that the alliance's special instructions are definitely one of the reasons.

So it's not surprising that this guy can make it to the top 16 of the Quartz League with a disobedient Charizard and a bunch of baby teams...

Maybe the league has set regional restrictions or travel time restrictions for participating in that conference...

"Brother Jing? Brother Jing?"

"Ah? What do you want me to do?"

After being dangled for a long time, Lin Jing finally came to his senses.

"I'm asking how strong King Dutian is according to what you said."

Seeing Lin Jing finally replying, Xiaozhi was also confused. He didn't know why Brother Jing suddenly lost his concentration and stopped talking, which scared him.

"Ahem, this...

Actually, I have fought against Du before."

"Hey! Really?

What happened? What happened? "

"Of course I lost."

"Ah?! But Arcanine is so strong..."

"It's not just any trainer who can become a top master. You think too highly of me, and you seem to have underestimated Watari as well.

Anyway, you should understand a little bit more after you become a trainer yourself."

"Yes! I will definitely become the world's number one Pokémon Master!

No matter whether it's Brother Jing or Mr. Du, I will definitely win!"

"Awoo... (Am I that weak...)"

After hearing Xiaozhi's declaration, Windy was speechless. This kid said he wanted to defeat him without even having any Pokémon.

It felt like Jing had been talking for a long time but was in vain, and she hadn't even refuted this guy.

It just shows that Mingjing has a very good impression of this guy, no less than she does of them, but this guy is actually being stubborn.

It's just like every time he sticks his whole body to them and says he's just helping them take care of their hair, who doesn't know what this guy is thinking...

"Ouch~ (hehe~)"

"Hey? Windy Dog, do you think so too? Thank you for your encouragement, I will definitely try my best!"

The Windspeed Dog, who had been complaining in his heart, suddenly laughed innocently. It was not because of anything else, but because it felt a pull and a cold gaze coming from behind.

Oh no, it seems like this guy's inner thoughts have been seen through...

I can only say that these two guys are worthy of being a pair who understand each other very well and guess each other's thoughts...

Well... a dog who plots against his trainer, a furry trainer who guesses his dog's thoughts and pokes at the flesh under the thick fur, and a hot-blooded and silly boy in the middle. I have to say it's a really strange combination...
