Chapter 33: Other people’s gym challenges
Platycodon Gym.
Hei Duo stood in front of a mushroom-shaped gymnasium, looking at this strange building with some hesitation.
The design of this gym was so scary that he didn’t know where to start complaining.
The excessive windows on the main body of the building are neither beautiful nor practical because they are sealed. The floors divided with purple paint on the exterior wall do not match the gray wall bricks of the building itself at all. The whole gym looks like
A drunken joke made by an architect.
Hei Duo couldn't help but wonder if there was any grudge between the designer and the Aso family.
Pushing open the door of the gym, Hei Duo was amazed by the scene inside. The entire building was actually hollow, with the ceiling at the top. The protruding part and the layers of purple paint on the outside were just for...beauty?
Next to the gate is a sculpture that is found in all gyms in the game. Hei Duo still can't figure out who the elf on it is.
"Hello! Are you here to challenge the gym?"
The sculpture suddenly made a dull mechanical sound, which scared Hei Duo a little.
Hei Duo hesitated for a moment and said: "No, I'm here to check out some places. Who are you?"
"Stepping on the spot? What does stepping on the spot mean? I am a staff member of the Platycodon Gym. If you have any questions, please feel free to consult me." The sculpture explained Hei Duo's question and waited for Hei Duo's answer.
Hei Duo understood that the sculptures in the game could indeed speak, but because they were game AIs, they would only repeat one sentence.
He said: "Visiting a site means going to a certain place to inspect it in advance to prepare for the official arrival later."
"Oh~ I see, then why did you step on the spot? Are you not confident in yourself, or in your own elf?" The mechanical sound of the sculpture was a bit harsh, and Hei Duo couldn't help but stay away.
Hei Duo's expression remained unchanged and he said: "If caution can be regarded as cowardice, then I admit it."
"Hahahaha." The sculpture's playback device instantly emitted a distorted laughter, and Hei Duo covered his ears.
"Come up, there's an elevator over there! I'll wait for you on the top floor!" The sculpture said these words, clicked, and stopped making any sound.
elevator?
Following the prompts from the "staff", Hei Duo successfully found the elevator and arrived at the top floor of the Platycodon Gym.
As soon as the elevator door opened, a fighting venue similar to a football field, surrounded by stands but without turf, appeared in front of Heido.
The huge battlefield was so empty that Hei Duo could count the number of people here with his hands.
In the center of the venue, a stubble-faced man with silver-gray hair was wearing a flight jacket and goggles, looking at Hei Duo with a smile.
"Hello! Future challenger! My name is Feng! I am the leader of this gym!" The middle-aged man exuded a bohemian temperament. He was not like a gym leader at all, but more like those adventurers in American movies.
Home is somewhat similar.
wind!
Hei Duo was stunned. Isn't this the author of the book he read yesterday?
And the gym leader of Platycodon City should be Asu...
Ah! Aso's father! The man who was attacked by Suicune, and finally teamed up with Azure Gym Leader Ah Si but failed to capture him!
In the blink of an eye, Hei Duo remembered the origin of Feng. This man who rarely appeared in the special episode did not expect that he would still be the owner of the museum at this moment.
"Hello, my name is Hei Duo, and I am an elf trainer." Hei Duo saluted, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
A big metal bird flew down from the sky and landed next to Feng.
Armored bird!
[Elf: Armored Bird/Gender: ♂/Level: 76]
[Characteristics: Strong/Attribute: Steel + Flying/Trainer: Wind]
[Moves: Steel Wing lv8/Split lv7/High Speed Star lv7]
[Yan Hui lv7/Metal Sound lv7/High Speed Movement lv7/Feathering lv7/Flying lv7]
Wow! He is indeed a veteran gym trainer!
Hei Duo's eyes shone brightly. It was the first time he saw such a high-level elf. Hei Duo was amazed by the moves of seven level sevens and one level eight.
I don't know how long it took Feng to cultivate this armored bird to this point. He didn't have Hei Duo's golden fingers, so he relied on his own training.
It's a pity that he didn't become the Four Heavenly Kings later on, and Kazuki, the junior, took the position of the Four Heavenly Kings.
"It seems that you are very interested in it?" Feng noticed that Hei Duo had been looking at the armored bird and patted the armored bird's metal wings.
Its wings made a thumping sound.
Unlike its heavy appearance, the armored bird's wings are hollow, allowing it to soar light and freely into the sky.
Heiduo found that his gaze seemed obvious. Two people already knew that he was looking at their elf.
"I'm just surprised at how powerful it is." Hei Duo told the truth. Level 76 is the highest level he has ever seen.
So what level will the champion elf be?
80?90?
It can’t be at full level, right?
Feng was startled, then laughed and said, "Are you complimenting me? This is not a good habit!"
"...If you think that's the case, I have no objection." Hei Duo couldn't refute. After all, he couldn't tell Feng that he could see the elf's energy level with his naked eyes.
"Hahahaha, you're quite tough!" Feng laughed heartily and glanced sideways at the armored bird. Is it so powerful that it can be seen from its appearance?
The armored bird spread its wings, "Hey——!!"
It has grown to the point where it can understand most human speech.
No one will be happy when he or she is praised.
Hei Duo's praise made it very useful, and it couldn't help but feel a little fond of the boy. If Zephyr used it to fight Hei Duo's elves, it wouldn't mind putting some water in it.
"Beautiful!" Feng scolded with a smile and patted the armored bird on the head. He and the armored bird had lived together for more than ten years. The tacit understanding between the two people had reached a terrifying level. How could he not know what the armored bird was thinking.
The armored bird didn't take it seriously, flapped its wings and ran up to Hei Duo, and pecked Hei Duo's hand with its metal beak.
Hei Duo reached out to touch the armor-like head of the armored bird. The touch was as cold as he imagined.
There were many small scars on its wings and body. Hei Duo knew that these were scars accumulated over the years without timely treatment.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This is the case in outdoor adventures. If you do not have a team doctor in your team and cannot treat your elf’s injuries immediately, scars will be left after subsequent treatments.
, these scars will not cause harm to the elf itself, but to a trainer, this is a pillar of shame called "dereliction of responsibility".
"If you want to watch other trainers challenge the gym, you can go to the auditorium now." Feng suddenly interrupted the interaction between Heiduo and the armored bird, and pointed behind Heiduo.
Hei Duo understood and turned his head to find a panting young man standing behind him, followed by a huge blue-skinned creature that looked like both a dinosaur and a crocodile.
[Elf: Powerful Crocodile/Gender: ♂/Level: Level 52]
[Characteristics: Riptide/Attribute: Water/Trainer: Shansuke]
[Moves: Frozen Fang lv5/Crush lv5/Crazy lv4]
[Split lv5/Water Cannon lv4/Surf lv5]
"I'm sorry! I'm the challenger who made an appointment yesterday! My name is Shansuke! Are there any plans to fight me today?" When the boy saw Hei Duo, he thought Hei Duo was the challenger who was ahead of him. He was a little anxious but kept his attitude.
asked politely.
Generally speaking, you need to make a reservation in advance to challenge a gym, because the gym owner may not be in the gym all the time. Moreover, the gym owner has a limited number of elves, and the elves who have fought need to rest.
The gym owner can only receive three to five challengers.
The next one will arrive on the second day.
Hei Duo was very talented and walked toward the audience without saying a word.
Feng chuckled twice and said gently: "Of course, I have been waiting for you for a long time."
"That's great! Mr. Feng, when can we start?" Shangzuke was delighted. In order to deal with Feng, the famous "master" in the city, he specially did some small homework today.
Feng has seen many impatient challengers like Naosuke, and knows that he must be prepared, but he is very confident in his own strength.
Shansuke was carried by the wind to the center of the battlefield.
"How many badges do you have in your hand?" Feng did not immediately announce the start of the game, but asked Shangzuke this question.
Gym leaders generally determine the difficulty of the battle based on the number of badges the challenger has, and there are very few challengers who can make the gym leader go all out.
When mentioning the number of badges, Shangsuke's face was full of confidence, and he proudly said: "Five! What you have here is the sixth badge I am about to get!"
Shansuke was very confident in himself and felt that he would be able to win the Platycodon City Gym this time.
"Haha, being confident is a good thing, but being overconfident is arrogant!" Feng took back the armored bird beside him and took off a super ball from his waist.
boom!
An elf about the same size as a human torso, with a wingspan of nearly four meters, shaped like a swift, and with tail feathers as long as scissors, flapped its wings and stood still in mid-air.
[Elf: King Yan/Gender: ♀/Level: 49]
[Characteristics: Perseverance/Attribute: Normal + Flying/Trainer: Wind]
[Moves: Flying lv5/Swallow Return lv4/Air Slash lv4]
[Shadow clone lv4/double lv4/parrot lv4]
"It is an elf that I recovered from the Fangyuan area the year before last! Its name is Dawangyan, and it has general attributes plus flying attributes! He is a very perseverant guy! I was moved by its integrity, so I recovered it!" Feng Touched.
Touching the feathers on the chest of the King Swallow, the bird's flight speed and time are closely related to whether it has strong chest muscles, but unfortunately, the King Swallow does not have this characteristic of "strong chest muscles".
Shangsuke's eyes were shining, he was always excited to meet a new elf, especially Wang Yan's gorgeous and handsome appearance and leering eyes, which deeply touched his itchy flesh.
He decided that the next area he would travel to was Fangyuan, and he had to go there even for the sake of Da Wang Yan.
Feng looked at Shangzuke with his eyes shining, laughed silently, and said: "This is my first elf, it's your turn."
Different from the game, trainers only need to use three elves to challenge the gym. The challenger can exchange the elves at will, but the gym leader cannot.
