Chapter 24: Jasmine
According to the normal plan, Kalia was supposed to spend two weeks training Oriole and Charmander, but plans cannot keep up with changes, and Oriole's talent seemed to be stronger than she expected.
In this way, Bimbisara's strength is already sufficient, and the time to challenge the Kana City Gym can be advanced. As for Charmander, since it has no advantage against ground-type Pokémon and is not well trained, it is basically the second Pokémon to go on the field.
If Bimbisara is defeated, just let Charmander come on the field, but this situation basically will not happen, Kalia is still very confident in her own strength.
…
Three days later.
The Kana City Gym has existed in Kana City for a very short time, and the gym was only established a few years ago. However, as a new red-star gym , this gym also discourages countless new trainers.
Gym Master Jasmine is a student from the Emerald Elf Academy in the Sebastian region. Because of her excellent academic performance, she was appointed as the gym master of the Kana City Gym by the Alliance.
Emerald Academy is an institution of higher learning that cultivates outstanding trainers. However, because it is an academy founded by the Pokemon League, these trainers basically give priority to serving the League.
Gym owner Jasmine is good at ground-type Pokémon and is very popular in Cana City. Her sweet looks attract countless trainers, but her powerful strength blocks countless trainers.
It can be said that many new trainers love and hate it.
The Kana City Gym is located in the north of Kana City, relatively close to the Kana Mountains, where many rock and ground-type Pokémon are active. Many trainers like to go there to capture ground and rock-type Pokémon.
However, the Kana Mountains are also very dangerous. Powerful ground-type Pokémon often cause earthquakes due to battles, and many trainers are injured every year.
The Kana City Gym is a rock-built building. From the outside, it looks like a rock giant punching the sky.
Lin Chuan followed Kaliya slowly and strolled all the way. He was in a good mood at the moment because Kaliya was going to challenge the gym today and the morning training was cancelled.
Moreover, he is just a supporting role today, he will definitely not fight. The gym owner must be very strong, and he is a ground-type Pokémon. Fire-type Pokémon are at a huge disadvantage against ground-type Pokémon.
Anyway, he has the Wood Gecko. He spent combat value to increase the speed ability of the Wood Gecko, isn't it just for today? Otherwise, if he doesn't have enough combat value, how could he give it to the Wood Gecko?
Lin Chuan is not stupid, he is just lazy. If the Bulrush can win, he doesn't need to play. Only a fool would not do something that can bring benefits without any effort.
Looking at the gym building in front of him, Lin Chuan was a little surprised. He thought it should be just an ordinary building, but he didn't expect the architectural style to be so exquisite.
Suddenly, Lin Chuan felt something patting him. He turned around and saw that it was a wood gecko, which surprised him.
Because he is a fire elf, the wood gecko is naturally afraid of him and they don't communicate with him much normally, but now he dares to approach him.
"Tomorrow, come and fight me."
Bimbisara looked at Charmander with pride.
Lin Chuan was speechless and looked at the wood gecko as if he had seen a ghost. He really wanted to ask, who gave you the courage, Fish Leong?
You have to know that he is a fire type and Bimbisara is a grass type. Lin Chuan is born to defeat it, but now Bimbisara is not afraid of him and wants to challenge him.
Lin Chuan wanted to laugh. It seemed that the sudden increase in the speed ability of the Wood Gecko had made him a little inflated.
Lin Chuan agreed immediately. He never knew what a coward was. Did the Bulrush really think he was awesome just because he was fast? It was me who improved your speed ability.
When Bimbo saw that Lin Chuan agreed, he was immediately very happy. He had wanted to have a battle with Lin Chuan for a long time. He was his master's most beloved elf, and he wanted to prove that even with the attributes restraining him, he could defeat Lin Chuan.
Lin Chuan didn't know what the Wood Gecko was thinking, but he was already prepared to increase his speed to the limit at night. After all, the Wood Gecko was really fast, and he might really fall into the ditch.
Kalia didn't know about the agreement between Linchuan and Wood Gecko. After all, they were using the language between elves, and she could only see that the two elves were communicating.
This made Kalia very happy. After all, normally Wood Gecko would not approach Charmander, and Charmander spent most of his time sleeping and eating.
"Let's go in."
Kalia pushed open the glass door of the gym and walked inside with the two Pokémon.
After pushing open the door, a wide space appeared before our eyes. The entire gym was very large. The battle field in the middle was composed of a large sandy area with many rock protrusions on it.
At this moment, there seemed to be no one in the gym, it was empty. Although a large number of new trainers gathered there some time ago, when they tried to pick a gym and were beaten to a pulp, they realized how big the gap was.
Moreover, most trainers only have one Pokémon, and because they don’t have enough Poké Balls, they can’t quickly capture a second Pokémon.
Therefore, most new trainers plan to capture a second Pokémon first and then challenge when they have enough strength.
"Is anyone there?" Kalia called out. Some gym leaders are not full-time, but have part-time jobs, so sometimes they would encounter situations where the gym leader is not there.
However, most of the time the gym owner is in charge of the gym. Every year, the Pokemon League arranges trainers to conduct strength assessments for each gym. If the gym owner is not there, the consequences can be very serious.
Kalia didn't know much about the owner of the school, Jasmine. Only wealthy families could send their children to study at the Emerald Elf Academy.
When Kalia was ten years old, her father passed away, leaving behind only a considerable fortune. She didn't even know there was such an academy at the time, so it was naturally impossible for her to spend money to study in it.
However, there are outstanding trainers coming out of Emerald Academy every year. Naoki Tamagawa is one of them. Strictly speaking, he can be considered as the senior of gym leader Jasmine.
"Here it comes, wait a minute!"
Kalia's call was quickly responded to. It was a female voice, and it was undoubtedly the owner of the museum, Jasmine.
Not long after, the owner of the museum, Jasmine, showed up. She was tall, wearing a casual and cool white short-sleeved shirt, blue and white denim shorts, and had short hair that made her look fresh and heroic. She also had a cute face that was full of youthful vitality.
Lin Chuan's eyes lit up. The owner, Jasmine, was so beautiful. She was as beautiful as Kalia. Moreover, she was a few years older than Kalia, which made her more attractive to men.
The gym owner Jasmine seemed to be very bored. When she saw someone coming to challenge her, she ran over excitedly. After all, although the gym owner was very respected, he could not leave the gym at will, which was also a restriction.
"Are you the one who wants to challenge the gym?" Jasmine looked at Kalia, her eyes were big and full of anticipation.
"Yes." Kalia couldn't stand Jasmine's eyes. It seemed that this gym owner was particularly interested in being challenged.
"You can challenge me, but before you do, I have a request. I hope you can make my elf laugh." Jasmine said.
"Make someone laugh?" Kalia was stunned. What kind of rule was this? Before challenging a gym, she actually had to make the gym owner's Pokémon laugh.
"Yes." Jasmine took out the Poké Ball and opened it. An Pokémon landed on the ground, holding a white bone weapon in its hand and wearing a white skull on its head. It was the ground-type Caracara.
"Caracalla hasn't smiled since her mother passed away. I want to make it smile again, but no matter how I try, it doesn't work." Jasmine touched the skull on Caracalla's head with a gentle look.
"So, I hope someone can make him smile again. Can you try?" Jasmine said.
"Okay, I'll try." Kalia was embarrassed to refuse. After all, it was not a difficult request.
Legend has it that the skull on Caracalla's head came from Caracalla's deceased mother, so Caracalla often made sad sounds and cried alone at night.
It was obvious that Jasmine wanted Karaka to get rid of her sadness and regain her cheerful and lively personality.
However, it is not easy to make Caracalla laugh, and Kalia fails no matter how hard she tries.
Lin Chuan also told a very funny joke, but Caracalla didn't understand it at all and had no idea what was funny. Instead, he just kept laughing.
After all the trouble, Carakala still didn't laugh in the end, but Lin Chuan kept laughing. The reason was that he remembered a very funny thing in the past, which made him want to laugh more and more.
No, no!
Lin Chuan laughed so hard that his stomach hurt and he almost rolled on the ground.
"It would be great if Caracara could be as cheerful as your Charmander." Jasmine said enviously as she watched Charmander laughing happily.
Kaliya nodded in agreement.
Although Charmander is usually a little lazy, he will care about her feelings when he is lazy, just like a little child.
After being caught cheating, he would sit up straight and look so serious, which always made her laugh and she couldn't help but want to pinch Charmander's belly.
Although she focused on training Bose, it was Charmander that brought her most happiness during this period.
"let's start."
Since Caracalla didn't laugh, there was naturally nothing that could be done, but the gym battle still had to go on.
The gym has a special referee, and the referee will come when the gym battle begins. Red-star gyms are usually 2v2 mode, so you need two Pokémon to challenge a red-star gym.
The game mode is a rotation system, and challengers can replace elves, which makes the elf battle full of variables and more exciting, so that the elves will not be defeated quickly due to mistakes at the beginning.
Lin Chuan sat in the audience seats behind Kalia. He basically didn't plan to take part in this battle and just wanted to be a bystander.
It’s so cool to watch the battle while eating your favorite sweet and sour energy cubes.
At this point, the challenge has begun.
