Chapter 84 Entering the Poké Ball
The next day, after getting up, Kalia received news that because the Pearl City gym leader Mo Lan had been away for a long time, the Pokémon League sent a trainer from the Pokémon Academy to temporarily take over the position of gym leader until Mo Lan returned.
During this period, rookie trainers can continue to challenge the Pearl City Gym and obtain the gym's water badge.
The trainer from the Pokémon Academy is named Zi'an, and he is good at using water-type Pokémon. However, there is currently no Pokémon information about this temporary gym leader, so no one knows what his Pokémon is.
Kaliya felt lucky. Just as she was preparing to take a boat back today, the temporary museum owner had arrived in Pearl City, so could challenge him directly.
"Charmeleon, we will go back to Pearl City today. The Alliance has sent a temporary gym leader." Kalia said to Lin Chuan who had just woken up while packing her things.
Temporary owner?
Finally I can challenge the gym.
Lin Chuan rubbed his sleepy eyes and became happy immediately after hearing what Kalia said. Ever since he earned more than 10,000 combat points from the Goshawk City Gym, Lin Chuan has been particularly fond of challenging the gym, because each time it represented a large amount of combat point rewards.
"Charmeleon, why did you become bigger?" Suddenly, Kalia stared at Lin Chuan carefully and asked with some confusion.
It didn't get fatter, but it got bigger and taller. Compared to yesterday, the Fire Dinosaur was much bigger. It was so obvious that when it stood up, its height was almost catching up with Kalia.
Lin Chuan choked. He knew that his body had grown larger because his physical strength had increased too much at one time. This might arouse Kaliya's suspicion.
Lin Chuan also showed a puzzled expression, and then looked at his enlarged body with a look of surprise, as if he didn't know what was going on.
Kalia was a little confused. How come Charmeleon suddenly became bigger? It was fine yesterday. It was so strange. And it seemed that Charmeleon was not aware of its own changes.
Although Kalia was surprised by the increase in the size of the Fire Dinosaur, she remembered another more serious problem .
She suddenly said seriously: "Charmeleon, have you ever thought about entering the Poké Ball? You are getting bigger and bigger now. You were small before, so it didn't matter if you didn't enter the Poké Ball. But now it would be very inconvenient if you follow me around every day."
"I can't hold you now. What if you get injured and pass out in the wild and you can't get into the Poké Ball? What should I do then?"
Lin Chuan was silent for a while after hearing this. What Kaliya said made sense. He had followed Kaliya for more than a month and had developed some feelings for her, but he had yet to enter the Poké Ball.
If he were asked to leave now, it would obviously be impossible, not only because he would have food and drink if he followed Kalia, but also because Kalia was a very good trainer who could help him grow faster.
Think about it, if Lin Chuan is training and gets injured, what will happen? The system does not have the ability to heal. Does he have to go to the Elf Center by himself? That is obviously impossible. It will take a long time just to recover, not to mention fighting to improve his strength.
In fact, at this point, Lin Chuan doesn't need to care whether he can enter the Poké Ball or not. The Poké Ball cannot restrain a heart that wants to leave. If he doesn't want to leave, he won't leave even without the Poké Ball.
Lin Chuan thought about it carefully and estimated that he would not be able to leave Kaliya in the short term. After all, he did not have enough strength yet. If he met a trainer who wanted to subdue him in the wild, who could guarantee to be better than Kaliya?
Therefore, entering the Poké Ball is also a good choice, and there are some advantages to entering the Poké Ball. You don’t need to walk by yourself, and you don’t need to worry about seasickness when taking a boat. There doesn’t seem to be anything bad about it.
Normally, Lin Chuan can choose not to enter the Poké Ball, but occasionally going in to take a nap is also very good.
"Charmeleon, are you willing to enter the Poké Ball?"
Kalia said as she took out a red and white ball and pressed a button, causing the Poké Ball to return to normal size.
Lin Chuan nodded slightly and decided to go in and try. He had never been inside a Poké Ball and didn't know what it was like inside.
"Very good."
When Kalia saw that Charmeleon agreed, she smiled, which meant that she had gained Charmeleon's approval.
"Come in, Charmeleon."
Kalia opened the Poké Ball, and a red light fell towards Lin Chuan. A magical power caused Lin Chuan to change. His body began to gradually turn into energy and was then collected into the Poké Ball.
Lin Chuan did not resist and let his body enter the Poké Ball. When he opened his eyes, he was already inside the Poké Ball.
There's nothing special inside the Poké Ball, it's just a small space that looks very spacious.
There was nothing around, so Lin Chuan could walk around inside, but it was a bit boring, so he could only sleep.
Lin Chuan remembered that different Poké Balls seemed to have different internal spaces, and the red and white Poké Balls were just the cheapest and most common Poké Balls.
Thinking of this, Lin Chuan felt that he had been at a disadvantage. If he had known earlier, he would have asked Kaliya to buy a luxury ball and then enter the luxury ball. The interior space of the luxury ball must be more comfortable.
At this moment, Lin Xing's eyes lit up, the Poké Ball opened, and then he automatically left the Poké Ball and fell to the ground.
"Charmeleon, do you like staying in the Poké Ball?"
Lin Chuan shook his head. What was the point of not being able to do anything except sleeping? He had originally thought that there would be a mini TV in the Poké Ball, and he could watch TV to kill time.
"It's okay, I'll get you a better Poké Ball then." Kaliya said. There are many kinds of Poké Balls, but because Kaliya is an elite and doesn't tame Pokémon very often, she usually prepares the cheapest red and white Poké Balls.
"So are you going to follow me on the boat or enter the Poké Ball?" Kalia asked.
Lin Chuan pointed at the Poké Ball. He already had a traumatic experience of taking a boat, so he might as well go into the Poké Ball and sleep. When he woke up, he would be almost at Pearl City.
"You try to come in on your own initiative." Kalia said. After the Pokémon is put into the Poké Ball, it becomes connected to the Poké Ball and can enter and exit the Poké Ball on its own initiative.
Lin Chuan tried it, and he did feel some connection with the Poké Ball. The next second, the Poké Ball opened automatically, and Lin Chuan took the initiative to enter the Poké Ball.
After entering the Poké Ball, Lin Chuan can also open the Poké Ball by himself, as long as he thinks about leaving.
No wonder some trainers only need to throw the Poké Ball and the Pokémon will come out, while some Pokémon trainers like to press the switch button to make the Pokémon come out.
After entering the Poké Ball, Lin Chuan fell asleep immediately. He could still feel some movements outside and hear Kalia talking.
This was good, as it kept him from being too bored, and he could occasionally hear Kalia chatting with other people.
…
After returning to Pearl City, Kalia went straight to the Pearl City Gym. If possible, he planned to challenge the gym directly so that he could leave Pearl City quickly.
The overall level of trainers in Pearl City is too weak. Not only can the growth of Pokémon not be improved here, but she herself cannot make any progress. How can she improve her own level if she fights against trainers weaker than her all day long?
Kaliya is going to Ruby City, where the first Silver Star Gym is located. There are a large number of junior trainers and even intermediate trainers there. Only by fighting against powerful trainers can she gain more growth. Although she may experience failure often, for Kaliya, this is a necessary process for progress.
The overall appearance of the Water Gym in Pearl City is azure blue, decorated with beautiful patterns, and in the middle is a Poké Ball pattern, which is considered the gym's logo.
After the gym was reopened, there were many new trainers nearby, all of whom were obviously preparing to challenge the gym and obtain the Water Flow Badge, but at this time, many of the new trainers did not look very good.
When Kalia walked into the gym, a figure walked out. It was Mani, who had gone to the Fossil Island with her before. However, this time Mani's face was full of tears, as if she had just cried.
Kalia felt a little strange. Even if she failed in a challenge, she wouldn't cry like that. Generally speaking, gym leaders are very friendly to new trainers. Even if they fail, they will encourage trainers to keep trying.
"Marnie, what's wrong with you?"
Kaliya walked forward and asked.
Mani looked up at Kaliya, said nothing, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, shook her head and left.
Seeing Mani's aggrieved look, Kalia felt that it must be the gym leader's problem. She rarely saw a trainer crying so miserably after failing a challenge, and Mani was a taciturn person. She must have been hurt, which made her cry like this.
When Kalia arrived at the battlefield, she finally understood what was going on. At this time, many new trainers were staring at the temporary gym leader in the battlefield with angry eyes.
Zi'an is an excellent student from the Emerald Academy, so he has a very strong sense of superiority over the new trainers. This time as the gym leader of Pearl City, he found that Pearl City is full of new trainers and he was very dissatisfied.
The gym he is in should be the strongest red-star level gym, and he wants to become the strongest red-star level gym leader.
Therefore, his gym guarding Pokémon are extremely strong, so strong that the Pokémon of ordinary rookie trainers can only be defeated and have no chance of winning at all.
The official gym owner Molan's guarding Pokémon are just the water-type Starfish and Pogamon. As long as the new trainers can train their Pokémon carefully, they can basically win the battle and get the badge.
But now it has come to Zi An, and almost no trainer has succeeded in the challenge, and Zi An has never given out a Water Flow Badge. According to him, the loser is not eligible to obtain the Water Flow Badge.
Such behavior naturally angered all the rookie trainers. Originally, the Pearl City Gym was the most suitable gym for rookie trainers to challenge, but now with this, it has become the most difficult gym to challenge.
Zi An is a purple-haired boy. Standing in the battlefield, he looks down upon the angry gazes of the rookie trainers.
"Anyone else wants to challenge me? No one is challenging me. I need to take a break. I suggest you go to the Kana City Gym first, and then challenge me once you have two badges."
Kalia looked at Zi'an. Almost all trainers from the Pokémon Academy were very arrogant, and apparently this one was the same . The Pokémon Academy was very large. It not only included the Sebastian region, but also students from other regions.
However, she did not approve of Zi An's behavior. The strength level of the Pearl City Gym was arranged by the Alliance in order to take care of new trainers and allow them to improve their level step by step.
First it was Pearl City, then Kana City, and finally Goshawk City, that’s why there are so many junior trainers gathered in Goshawk City.
Zi'an is equivalent to breaking the balance. The Elf Alliance will definitely replace Zi'an with other weak elves guarding the gym. Kalia herself is the former gym owner, so she is naturally very familiar with these rules.
