Chapter 5 Testing and Qualifying
next morning
Su Hao, neatly dressed, took the room card and small diamonds and set out from the residential area, preparing to go to the city's largest training facility and gym - the fire gym run by Su's father.
Last night, before Su's father went to bed, he handed him this room card that belonged exclusively to Su Hao.
The gyms in this world are just like the gyms in previous games and animations.
The gym leaders in the game don't just have one job, many of them have other side jobs besides their job as gym leaders, or even gym leader is their side job.
For example, the three sisters of Cerulean at the Cerulean Gym in the Kanto region are famous for their aquariums and water ballets, but no one pays attention to their combat prowess. The same is true for the Miare Gym in the Kalos region, and its gym leader Citronbi After becoming the owner of the museum, his talent was focused on scientific research, and he even invented the Rotom Illustrated Book.
Compared to those gym owners in his previous life who were not doing their jobs properly, Su Hao's father could be said to be very dedicated. He only opened apprentice courses and a large training ground in the gym.
After that, Su Hao was walking while thinking about the next training plan, and soon arrived at the Rising Sun Gym, a fire element gym located in the suburbs of Yangcheng.
Since there are only eighteen gymnasiums with different attributes in the entire Shenzhou Alliance, each gymnasium can be said to be a landmark building in the city in terms of construction specifications.
The Rising Sun Gym directly occupies an entire mountain in Yangcheng, covering a wide area.
It is only eight o'clock in the morning, and all kinds of vendors attracted by the popularity and flow of people in the training ground have set up their stalls and started their business.
Su Hao casually bought a pancake and fruit from a breakfast stall, and then walked to the main entrance of the gym.
At this time, a long queue had already formed in front of the main entrance of the gym, but Su Hao did not follow the crowd. Instead, he turned right and entered the staff passage.
"Little shop owner, you're here so early!" A kind-faced cleaning lady greeted Su Hao.
"Well, I got my starter Pokémon yesterday, and I'm going to start training today!"
All the staff in the museum recognized Su Hao, the son of the museum owner. After all, Su Hao grew up here.
Soon, Su Hao arrived at the door of Vip6-6, the private training room that Su's father had prepared for him.
Su Hao put the card against the sensor beside the door, and with a beep, the door opened.
Stepping into the room, Su Hao saw a space as big as a playground.
The room is very large and the ceiling is high enough for flying Pokémon to fly in it.
Su Hao picked up the tablet beside him, which had all the function introductions and control buttons of this room.
However, Su Hao has grown up in this gym since he was a child. He knows most of the functions, and these functions are meaningless to him now.
The purpose of Su Hao's visit to the training ground today was very simple. He wanted to know about Xiao Sui Zuan's current physical condition, observe all Xiao Sui Zuan's moves, and then go to the battle arena in the gym to fight.
After calling the little broken diamond out of the elf ball, Su Hao began to communicate with the little broken diamond through the waveguide.
Su Hao told Xiao Sui Zuan that he wanted to get a general idea of Xiao Sui Zuan's physique and his mastery of moves, and then find possible weaknesses through fighting.
"Na na~" (No problem) Little Diamond was very active.
Little Broken Diamond had a feeling since she carried the Dianxi super stone given by Su Hao last night.
A very mysterious feeling, or intuition, told Little Diamond that he had to become stronger as soon as possible, and something was waiting for him.
------------
After Little Broken Diamond's demonstration, Su Hao roughly understood Little Broken Diamond's current situation.
Although the speed of the small diamond is very slow, the speed of using the moves is very outstanding. The energy can be controlled very accurately to make the moves hit the direction you want, but it still lacks a little strength.
Diamondback's body is extremely hard, and most Pokémon of the same level currently find it difficult to break its defense.
However, Su Hao did not intend to let Diamond develop into a defensive Pokémon.
After Little Diamond transforms into Diancie, its mediocre double attacks will be supplemented, and after its mega evolution, its attack power will further increase to a very terrifying level.
Su Hao planned to let Diamondhead lay a good foundation in all aspects and develop in a balanced way during his time as Diamondhead. After mutating into Diancie, Diamondhead's potential would be released all at once. As a mythical beast, Diancie's abundant physical fitness and energy were the capital that made her stronger than ordinary Pokémon.
After roughly testing all aspects of Little Diamond's qualities, Su Hao took Little Diamond directly to the gym's battle facility.
It is worth mentioning here that the Shenzhou Alliance officially held a competition called [Qualifying Competition] across the entire Shenzhou Alliance.
As an officially organized competition, the qualifying round is authoritative in all walks of life across the country.
As the name suggests, the ranking competition is to improve the ranking and upgrade the rank through elf battles.
The first is the Poké Ball level. Because there are so many participants, all trainers who register to participate in the qualifying competition will be assigned to a Poké Ball level.
The Poké Ball level will not be included in the national rankings due to the large base of participants.
Next is the Super Ball level. The conditions for upgrading the Poké Ball level to the Super Ball level are very simple, that is, you can enter the Super Ball level after completing ten consecutive wins at the Poké Ball level. Since your opponents are randomly assigned by the computer, it may be very easy to enter the Super Ball level, or the big guys who lose too much at the Super Ball level may have their winning streak interrupted.
There is no room for demotion at the Poké Ball level no matter how many times you lose, but starting from the Ultra Ball level, if you lose too many games, you will be demoted.
In general, the Poké Ball level is more like a big sieve that screens out some trainers with weak abilities.
Above the Super Ball level there are Advanced Ball level, Master Ball level and the [King Challenge] at the top of the Shenzhou League. The top one thousand trainers in the Master Ball level will participate in an elimination tournament, and the top eight players left will be qualified to challenge the strongest five people in the league, the Four Heavenly Kings and the champion. Those who succeed in the challenge can even replace the Four Heavenly Kings and the champion they defeated and become one of them.
Therefore, as the only officially certified ranking competition venue in Yangcheng, the Rising Sun Gym is naturally crowded with people at all times.
However, the qualifying match is not a match that Su Hao and Xiao Zuizhuan, who are still novices, can participate in.
Su Hao's real target was a huge open space outside the official battle venue of the qualifying match.
At this time every year, this open space is filled with many novice trainers from Yangcheng who have just received their initial Pokémon.
You have to fight with people of the same level as you first to know your and Xiao Sui Zuan’s current combat power positioning.
