"The main thing is that Swamp Monster taught me well."
Cactusmon kept praising Qingliu, and kept scratching his head in embarrassment.
Seeing its appearance, Qingliu didn't continue.
As for the giant swamp monster it talked about, it was the one that Kikuno had the "Super Riptide" attribute before.
Although it is not the opponent of Mechanical Greymon, it is undeniable that its own combat power is still very strong, and its physical attack and punching moves are also its specialty. In general, Cactusmon has made such rapid progress, and it has also made quite a few achievements. force.
"Ms. Kikuno and the others?"
Qingliu wanted to thank the other party in person.
Cactus Beast recalled for a moment and said, "I didn't seem to see it this morning..."
Before he finished speaking, a voice rang not far away.
"She was temporarily busy and went to Suzuran Island in the middle of the night last night. I asked you not to worry about her and say thank you. If you really want to thank her, just let her retire early."
Qingliu heard the sound and looked over, and a tall man wearing a white research uniform walked over.
"Dr. Yamanashi."
Dr. Yamanashi nodded, and his eyes went from Cactusmon, Tanabata Blue Bird, Blue-Eyed Double Explosion Dragon, to Mechanical Greymon. After looking at it for a long time, he finally landed on Aoyagi.
"Are you ready to leave?"
"Yes, I have been bothering you for a long time, and there are only two months left before the Suzuran Tournament. We must seize the time to collect the remaining seven badges."
Dr. Yamanashi nodded slowly: "That's right. After all, after collecting the badges, you have to go to Suzuran Island to register. Strictly speaking, your time is less than two months, so you really need to hurry up.
"I won't say anything unnecessary. Have a nice trip."
"Thank you for taking care of me during this time."
Qingliu bowed slightly and said solemnly.
The few behind him also echoed.
"If anything happens, you can call me directly. The contact information has been stored in the illustrated book."
"Will do."
Qingliu nodded heavily, then turned over and sat on the back of the Blue-Eyed Double Explosion Dragon.
Along with the flapping of huge wings that were nearly twenty meters long, a whirlwind blew up, and several figures slowly rose into the sky.
Dr. Yamanashi watched quietly with an expressionless face. Finally disappeared into the horizon.
Aoki and others not far away were also watching, but compared to Dr. Yamanashi, they were more or less relieved.
"Although it was King Kikuno's arrangement, these guys must be too good at eating. In two months, they have eaten up a year's worth of food given to large Pokémon by the research institute."
The fat researcher next to him quickly added: "You are only counting the amount of hoarding and consumption this year, not the amount of last year and the year before that."
Aoki's eyes suddenly opened wide and he quickly asked: "How much did you eat in total?"
The fat researcher trimmed his middle-parted hair, stretched out his fingers to stabilize the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said in a serious tone: "It took a total of two and a half years... only a lot more."
Aoki: "..."
Although it's a bit rude, it's best not to come back.
…
the other side.
The blue-eyed twin-explosion dragon flew below the clouds, with Qingliu sitting on its back. The huge figure skipped the mountains, rivers and fields, and galloped away into the distance.
Since he and his Pokémon have official household registrations and are considered legal citizens of the alliance, Aoyagi doesn't have to worry too much about whether this problem will be exposed. As long as he wants to fly, just fly.
The only thing that needs to be considered is that it has always regarded the Blue-eyed Twin Explosive Dragon as a "transportation vehicle". Over time, will it have any objections in its heart?
After thinking for a short time, Aoyagi decided to seriously consider the choice of "transportation vehicle" in the future. It would be best to tame a Pokémon or Digimon that specializes in "transportation".
As long as you can fly, it doesn't matter if you're fast or not. If you can run fast and fly, it's a good sign. If you can also swim and dive, it will be even better.
However, there should be no chance for the time being. There are other priorities now.
If you want to participate in the Suzuran Tournament, you must first collect badges from the eight gyms certified by the alliance, and secondly, you must have six Pokémon with clean origins. Aoyagi is still far short of both requirements.
"I have four in my hand now. I don't know when the Cunning Beast will break out of its shell, so it can't be counted. That means I'm still short of two. In this case, more than two summons will be needed to guarantee the minimum."
Qingliu thought for a moment and looked at the map in the illustrated book.
"There are very few scenic spots and historic sites in the Sinnoh region in the Midwest, and now the only ones left should be the two places in the north."
Lake Wisdom is the residence of Uxie, the God of Lakes, and the Blade Temple is where the legendary Pokémon Regichkas, which is said to drag the continent, is sealed underground.
"Both places are in Qifeng City, and Qifeng City is at the northernmost edge of the Sinnoh region, which is still some distance away, and..."
Qingliu looked at the map carefully.
If he wants to go to Qifeng City from Zhensha Town where he is now, he needs to go all the way north, and on the way north he will pass through Zhuqing City. Next to Zhuqing City is Shuimai City and Heijin City, and to the north is EMI City. Finally, there is Qifeng City.
"The illustrated book shows that there are gyms in five cities, which means that you only need to push all the way to get five badges and two summoning opportunities... In this way, the two requirements are basically completed."
If you're lucky, you might be able to get two Digimon together at once.
Thinking of this, Qingliu immediately said to the Blue Eyes Double Explosive Dragon: "Slightly adjust the direction to the right and set off... Zhuqing City!"
…
Congratulations to the city.
The Sinnoh region is the most prosperous, advanced, and one of the most populous cities in the world.
The moment Qingliu stepped into the city, that strong sense of familiarity suddenly hit his face.
If it weren't for the various people on the street with all kinds of strange Pokémon, Aoliu would have doubted whether he had returned to the real world.
Especially when he saw the white cube building with the Poké Ball mark in the city center, Aoyagi couldn't help but sigh.
"Although the technology tree has developed skewed due to the existence of Pokémon, even so, Zhuqing City can still beat some second-tier cities in memory."
While Qingliu was meditating, in the opposite building, a young woman wearing professional attire and light makeup walked over quickly, leaned behind slightly and asked: "Do you want to exchange Pokémon? This is The global terminal device, not just Sinnoh, can be exchanged with any Pokémon in any region.”
To put it simply, this is the alliance's super-large Pokémon exchange place, but he has no idea of exchanging. After all, his Pokémon is a bit "abnormal", and this is not his destination.
"I'm sorry, I have no idea of exchanging at the moment. Also, I would like to ask, where is the gym in Zhuqing City?"
Hearing Qingliu's polite refusal, the woman in uniform didn't look too surprised. She nodded very calmly and raised her finger in a direction to the right.
"About two blocks over there is the Celebration Gym."
"OK, thanks."
Qingliu thanked him seriously and prepared to leave, but the other party quickly said again: "May I ask, how many badges do you have in your hand now?"
Qingliu stared silently into each other's eyes without speaking.
Seemingly realizing that such words were a bit too private for the two people who had just met, the woman in uniform said quickly: "Ah, please don't get me wrong, the main reason is that the gym in Zhuqing City is strange, if it is not very suitable and strong. There is no need to waste time, this is the consensus of most people.”
"strange?"
Qingliu repeated softly.
Three or four years later, when Xiaozhi landed in the Sinnoh region, there was no gym in Zhuqing City, but now it clearly exists in the illustrated book. For this "gym that will not exist for a few years" , Qingliu couldn't help but feel curious.
After all, there is such a large flow of people in Zhuqing City, so it is impossible for the gym to be disqualified due to no one paying attention to it. Perhaps the reason is because of the "uniqueness" mentioned by the other party.
"If it's convenient, please tell me the specific situation."
Seeing Qingliu's earnest approach to asking for advice, and his face that although he was young, he could already tell that he was going to be a handsome guy in the future, Lizi immediately began to impart his experience as someone who had experienced it.
"Generally speaking, gym competitions in the Sinnoh region are three-on-three battles, and whoever can defeat three of the opponent's three is the winner, but... this is not the case in the Celebration Gym.
"The gym leader of the Celebration Gym is named Jasmine. She is a gym trainer who specializes in flying Pokémon. She also only conducts assessments on flying Pokémon. The gym founded by her never engages in head-on battles, but rather depends on who gets the Pokémon. Kamu flies faster.”
Qingliu raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Fly faster?"
"Yes, let's see who flies faster, but it's not just as fast as you think."
Lizi continued: "The battlefield is a man-made valley. There is a very strong air flow in the middle of the valley. Normal Pokémon will be blown away just by encountering the air flow, let alone competing for speed. Of course , it’s easy to say, but you’ll know how difficult it is when I tell you a number.”
Lizi raised two hands, one stretched out two fingers and the other made a fist.
"So far this year, no more than twenty trainers have passed her assessment."
The alliance conference is held once a year in each region. It has been ten months now and only twenty people have been approved. This means that on average, only two people have been approved a month.
With the number of two people and the large flow of people in Zhuqing City, there are countless people who have been brushed off. It is not an exaggeration to say that the failure rate of the assessment is 99.999%.
"Is that so..."
Qingliu nodded.
From this point of view, this gym trainer should indeed have something in this unique assessment.
However, it doesn't seem to have much to do with me. This strangeness... isn't as strange as I thought.
"Thank you very much for letting me know. Goodbye."
After Qingliu thanked him, he turned around and left.
When Lizi heard Qingliu's voice of thanks, she nodded with great satisfaction.
Lizi felt very satisfied with her behavior of helping others, being able to persuade one after another, especially when the conference was about to start soon, and for people like Qingliu who had not yet collected all eight badges. Trainers who are "relatively weak" must cherish their limited time.
Even if you only win some weaker gyms and end up at the bottom of the tournament, it's better to experience it than not going there in the end.
However, after accepting the other party's thanks, Lizi discovered that the other party was walking in the direction of the Celebration Gym that she had just pointed to.
What is this for?
The stubbornness of a new trainer?
Lizi's heart was full of questions and she quickly chased after him.
But what she didn't expect was that the opponent looked young, but moved so fast that she had to take a shortcut to keep up.
In another blink of an eye, he had arrived at the entrance of the Celebration Gym.
Seeing Qingliu walking in, Lizi gritted his teeth and followed immediately.
She had finished speaking, but she had nothing to do if the other party stubbornly refused to listen and wanted to waste time and energy. However, she had never been stingy with her ridicule for such a guy who didn't listen to the old man...and the girl. .
Qingliu didn't know that Lizi had followed him and was full of dissatisfaction with him, and even if he knew, he didn't care.
As long as there are no too weird assessments, the gym is not too difficult for him now. Except for special circumstances, he is considering cultivating all Pokémon as balancedly as possible to ensure that no one's progress will be left behind.
With this thought in mind, Qingliu followed the signs and came to the gym hall.
Bang!
As soon as I stepped in, the lights in the venue suddenly turned on, and white optical fibers illuminated the surrounding area.
Immediately afterwards, a girl of thirteen or fourteen who was about the same age as Aoyagi and wearing casual clothes walked out slowly.
"I thought no one would come recently."
After saying that, Jasmine's eyes fell on Qingliu and asked curiously: "Hey, haven't you heard about the passing rate of my assessment here?"
"heard."
"Have you heard that you still dare to come?"
Jasmine was surprised: "You're not thinking that those people are bragging, are you? Let me tell you, if you think that because I am young, I might be able to pass due to luck or something, I can only advise you not to have this idea. It's impossible. of."
Qingliu nodded with a smile and replied: "Don't worry, I will conduct the gym competition seriously, so please also ask Miss Jasmine to show her full strength, and don't use the Pokémon and attitude to deal with ordinary trainers for the assessment. .”
"are you crazy!"
Lizi, who had just slipped into the gym, heard this and couldn't help cursing in her heart.
The difficulty of passing the assessment is already so terrifying, and you want her to take it seriously. Is there something wrong with this guy's brain?
After hearing Qingliu's words, Jasmine's expression became a little more serious.
"You mean, let me use my full strength?"
"That's right."
Jasmine looked at Qingliu intently, looking at the other person's handsome, handsome and serious face. She felt inexplicably familiar, but suddenly she couldn't remember it, so she nodded in agreement.
"Okay, no problem. Since you took the initiative, I will satisfy you."
After saying that, Jasmine turned around.
"Come with me."
Qingliu took a step forward, and Lizi followed quickly.
"What are you thinking? You might have been able to steal a game if she was careless, but now you are just looking for abuse."
Qingliu was slightly surprised to see the other party appear here.
"Miss Lizi, is it really okay to sneak out during working hours?"
"My dad is the owner of the company."
"……All right."
"You haven't answered my question yet. Even if you are really strong and confident, there is no need to let the other party go all out as soon as you come up."
Lizi asked.
After thinking for a moment, Qingliu said slowly: "If that's true, the gym competition will really be meaningless to me."
I have something to do today, so I will try my best to write the third update, earlier in the morning, later tomorrow morning at noon, sorry for that.
