Chapter 38 Yuechuanjiang
The Speed Contest has a long history in Goshawk City. In the earliest times, it was not called the Speed Contest, but a flying competition.
A group of trainers use Flying-type Pokémon to compete in speed. Whoever reaches the destination first will receive the speed medal.
As time went on, the flying competition also attracted the attention of many trainers, and they all came to Goshawk City to participate in the competition.
Later, some trainers suggested that not only Flying-type Pokémon can participate, and it would be better to change it to a Speed Contest so that all Pokémon can participate.
This proposal undoubtedly won the approval of many trainers who did not have Flying-type Pokémon. After all, in addition to Flying-type Pokémon, there were too many fast Pokémon.
Eventually the flying competition officially became the speed competition, which is also a large-scale annual competition in Goshawk City. The final winner can not only get a speed medal, but also a generous bonus.
The Speed Tournament is a very formal competition. Participants are limited to rookie trainers and junior trainers. Trainers above the intermediate level cannot participate. This is because Goshawk City is the location of the Red Star Gym. There are generally not many trainers above the intermediate level, and even if there are, they will leave quickly. After all, the level of Pokémon fighting here is no longer able to allow their Pokémon to grow.
The largest number are newcomers and junior trainers, who are also the largest group of trainers in Goshawk City. They gather in Goshawk City with the goal of challenging Flying-type gyms.
After reading the information about the Speed Tournament, Kalia remembered that when she had just become a rookie trainer, her good friend Louis participated in the Speed Tournament, but unfortunately she did not win the first place. When he talked about it with her, his tone was quite regretful.
Kalia is still very interested in the Speed Contest. After all, this is not a small competition like the one , but a large-scale elf racing competition. The winner can also get a speed medal and a bonus.
"Why not let the Wood Gecko give it a try." Kalia thought, the Wood Gecko is not far from evolution, if it can evolve into a forest lizard before the Speed Contest, it still has a chance in this conference. After all, the Wood Gecko has a very high talent for speed.
As for Charmander, it has always been famous for its powerful fire moves in the eyes of many trainers, but its speed is still much slower than that of Bikoo.
To participate in the Speed Contest, elves need to register and sign up for the competition. At this time, many people are waiting in line. Kalia patiently waits at the back of the line.
Lin Chuan followed along, listening to the discussions and chit-chat around him, and he had a rough idea of what the Speed Contest was about: a group of elves competing in speed.
Lin Chuan wanted to participate, but before he evolved, although he was very fast, he was still inferior to those elves of higher levels who were known for their speed, so it was difficult for him to get first place.
There are still two weeks before the Speed Contest, and Kalia is not in a hurry. Two weeks is enough time for the Wood Gecko to evolve.
Generally, there are only two main reasons why elves cannot evolve. One is that they are unwilling to evolve, which is a problem of the elves themselves. The other is that they carry the Stone of Unchange.
The Stone of Unchange is a rare item. When worn by an elf, it can prevent the elf from evolving.
So, if nothing unexpected happens, the wood gecko will definitely be able to evolve into a forest lizard.
As time passed, it was soon Kaliya's turn. The person in charge of registration was a kind old man. After Kaliya registered her name and the participating elves, she successfully became a contestant in this speed conference.
"Here you go." The old man held the contestant's ticket. Without it, it would be impossible to enter the Speed Contest venue.
"Thank you." Kalia took the admission ticket with the blue eagle logo and carefully put it into her backpack.
Lin Chuan felt a little bored when he saw Kaliya preparing to let the Bombyx Gecko participate in the Speed Competition. It was obvious that Kaliya thought the Bombyx Gecko was faster than him.
However, Lin Chuan didn't care. It was just a race. It would be so tiring to run at full speed, so he didn't want to run.
"Are you a rookie trainer?" At this time, a long-haired boy suddenly walked over and asked.
The boy looked a few years older than Kalia. He was wearing a black short-sleeved shirt, half-frame glasses, and had three Poké Balls on his waist. It was obvious that he was also a trainer.
"Yeah." Kalia's tone was neither cold nor hot, she just nodded lightly, after all, she was not familiar with this person.
The boy introduced himself: "My name is Yuechuanjiang, is this your Charmander? I also have a Charmander."
Yuechuanjiang seemed a little excited. It was the first time he saw other trainers capture Charmander.
As he spoke, Yue Chuanjiang opened the Poké Ball, and a slightly fat little Charmander fell to the ground. As soon as it appeared, it saw Lin Chuan, and the two little Charmanders stared at each other.
"Look, your Charmander is similar to mine, both are a little fat." Yue Chuanjiang said excitedly. When he saw Lin Chuan just now, if Charmander hadn't been in the Poké Ball, he would have thought it was his own Charmander.
Lin Chuan was speechless. He became fat because his ability points increased. Strictly speaking, he became stronger, but the little fire dragon in front of him was really fat.
Not only the limbs, but also the face and belly are a bit fleshy, which can be seen if you look closely.
Kalia smiled. They really were very similar, even their heights were almost the same. If you didn't look closely, they really looked like two identical Charmanders.
The two gradually started talking about how to train Charmander. Kalia originally thought that there was nothing to talk about and was ready to find a reason to leave, but as they talked, she found that Yue Chuanjiang did have some real talent and knew a lot about Charmander training techniques.
Kaliya was naturally very interested in these techniques and shared some of her own cultivation experiences.
Lin Chuan saw that the two were chatting happily, and then looked at Yue Chuanjiang's Charmander. It was the first time he saw other Charmanders. He didn't know how big the gap was between this Charmander and him with his current ability.
Yuechuanjiang's little fire dragon didn't seem to like talking. Seeing Linchuan not saying a word, Linchuan saw that it ignored him and was too lazy to speak either.
"Why not let the two Charmanders have a battle." Yue Chuanjiang suggested. Most trainers love battles between Pokémon because they can verify the strength of their own Pokémon and gain a sense of satisfaction.
"Okay." Kalia agreed. This was a good opportunity to see Charmander's current level of control over Dragon Breath. Fire-based moves were very ineffective against fire-based elves, so in this battle, Dragon Breath moves would be the key to victory.
When Lin Chuan heard Yue Chuanjiang's proposal, he was immediately happy. This way, he could see the difference between himself and the ordinary Charmander today.
"That's great. When you are free, let's go to the Pokémon Center to fight." Yue Chuanjiang said happily.
"I'm not free now, but I'm free in the evening." Kalia thought about it and now she needed to arrange accommodation .
"Okay then, I'll wait for you at the Elf Center at 7 o'clock tonight." Yue Chuanjiang nodded and agreed on the time.
Kaliya wrote down the agreed time, then took Lin Chuan to the nearest Elf Hotel, booked a room, released the wood gecko, and began to lie down on the bed to rest. After all, he had been walking for most of the day and was very tired.
After waking up, she took a comfortable bath and then had dinner. After dinner, Kalia took the two elves out of the hotel and walked towards the Elf Center in Goshawk City.
