Chapter 478: Can Pokémon be trainers?
After seeing Jun Shajing off, Heath lay down on the bed, but he knew that he couldn't sleep now. If he fell asleep now, Heath felt that his biological clock might be disrupted, so Heath could only force himself to get up from the bed and wait for the arrival of night.
"But now that I've put it this way, what should I do now?" Heath scratched his head in pain. He wasn't quite sure what he should do now. Heath didn't really want to entertain guests. After all, there was basically no food left in the dining car. If Heath wanted to entertain guests, he would need to go outside and buy some ingredients before he could entertain them. This was quite troublesome.
And Heath sometimes really wants to take a break, so it is important to have a proper combination of work and rest.
So after hesitating for a while, Heath decided to go to the gym in Deep Gray City. Although Heath had been in this world for a long time, he had never seen the gym battles in every town.
Thinking of this, Heath walked out of his bedroom, collected his Pokémon with the Poké Ball, and then drove the food truck towards the gym in Deep Gray City.
The current Depth Gray City Gym is still under the control of Wu Neng, but Heath remembered that when Satoshi embarked on his journey, the Depth Gray City Gym was already under the control of Brock. Now Heath is really curious about what the Depth Gray City Gym will be like under the leadership of Wu Neng.
When Heath stopped and walked out, he saw a very simple gym. The overall color was rock gray, and the roof was also made in the shape of a rock. From here, it can be seen that this gym is indeed a rock-type gym, and it is also the first gym in the gym challenge route recommended by the Alliance.
Yes, the League also has a recommended route for trainers' gym challenges, but this route is similar to the challenge routes when playing games in previous lives. However, this world implements flexible combat, which means that the gym will send different teams to deal with challengers based on the strength of the challengers. If the challenger is very strong, Mr. Wu Neng will take action.
When Heath came, he happened to see several people in trainer clothes walking in. Heath followed them in curiously. Speaking of trainer cards, Heath himself is actually a trainer. After all, after having Pokémon, you need to register a trainer card to determine the number of Pokémon and badges the trainer has captured. Moreover, the trainer card is also a very important credential, and the trainer card is still needed when conducting gym battles.
However, the gym wars in this world are different from what Heath imagined. First of all, every trainer can challenge a gym, but they need to pay a challenge fee. The price is very cheap, only one hundred League Coins. They can provide trainers with treatment and other services, which is also a way to generate income for the gym. After all, in addition to the annual funding from the League, the gym must have some other profit points to maintain the normal operation of a gym.
In addition to this fee, each gym will also formulate something similar to an entry assessment based on its own situation. Heath had heard about it before. The entry assessment in Pitch Gray City is to learn to identify the types of ores, which is a knowledge-type test. There is also a similar assessment for the Electric Gym. That gym assessment is a bit outrageous. Trainers are required to hold a "Basic Electrician Qualification Certificate" before they can challenge the gym.
As for the gym in Evergreen City, Heath remembered that it was a practical type of gym, which required trainers to hold four or more badges before they could challenge the gym in Evergreen City. However, Heath heard that gyms in some areas had even more bizarre exam requirements, but Heath had not seen anything more outrageous yet.
When Heath walked into the gym in Deep Gray City, he happened to see Mr. Wu Neng talking in a low voice with a staff member in the lobby. Heath had no intention of disturbing Mr. Wu Neng. Although Heath and Mr. had met once, Heath felt that he was not very familiar with him, so Heath looked around this unique gym.
"Trainer, do you want to challenge a gym?" Zoroark asked excitedly. Charmeleon's Poké Ball moved. It can be seen that challenging a gym is very interesting to Charmeleon and he is looking forward to it.
"I'm not planning on that." Heath shook his head. He had never planned to challenge a gym. To be honest, if Heath wanted to challenge he could have accepted Sister Feng's sponsorship and embarked on the path of a trainer. But now Heath felt that he would be happier as a chef. The people in the Pokémon world were super interesting, and there were all kinds of weird Pokémon in this world. Heath was very interested in this world.
But at this time Heath saw a very strange scene.
A Slowpoke, holding two Poké Balls in its hands, looked ahead blankly, then slowly walked to the counter and slapped a leaf on the table.
"Slowpoke, you're here to challenge the gym again." The staff at the counter smiled when they saw it. Heath blinked. This Slowpoke actually wanted to challenge the gym? What was going on? Could it be that some unlucky person accidentally traveled to the body of Slowpoke?
Slowpoke and Slowshell are both magical Pokémon. People with psychic powers once studied these little creatures and found that their minds are empty most of the time, as if they are thinking about nothing, and very few of them can survive and evolve into Slowpoke.
Compared with Slowpoke, Slowpoke and Slowshell, there is a huge difference between them. One is a Pokémon with extraordinary intelligence, comparable to the world's top scientists, while the other is the type that makes you want to think "as long as you can survive safely, you will win". How can you compare them?
But because of this, when Heath saw a Slowpoke actually thinking about challenging the gym, he was completely stunned. But what was even more outrageous was that the staff actually agreed.
Heath looked at the Slowpoke with a strange expression as he and the Slowpoke followed the worker to a battle arena. Heath curiously moved closer and saw a boy in a gym student uniform walking up nervously. Then an unusual gym battle began.
However, what surprised Heath the most was Slowpoke. This little guy fought quite well, and relied on a Poliwag and Diglett that he caught from somewhere to defeat the boy's Geodude and Onix, but he was defeated soon after.
Slowshell still looked dazed, and Heath couldn't understand what was going on in this little guy's head.
