Chapter 203 A Complicated Situation

"Cerulan Gym...Which one do you want to ask? But I don't recommend challenging the Cerulean Gym for the time being..." Haruko said.

"Which one? Isn't there only one Hualan Gym? Why don't you recommend a challenge?" Guan Liyuan asked doubtfully.

"There is only one official gym in Cerulean City, but the current official gym may be replaced by another 'Garden Gym' at any time, so... if the goal is to participate in the Quartz League competition, and happens to get eight If you need a badge, if the current Cerulean Gym is replaced by another Garden Gym before the competition, the Cerulean Badge obtained previously will also become invalid, and you will be very confused." Haruko said.

Guan Liyuan immediately understood what Qingzi meant and didn't ask her stupid questions like "Wouldn't it be nice to get nine badges to spare?"

According to the rules of the gym challenge, the ninth badge will be much more difficult to obtain than the eighth. After all, only eight badges are needed to participate in the Quartz Competition. If you want to obtain the ninth, it means that the trainer wants to enter and exit some regulations. Restrictions on the number of badges in protected areas…

Therefore, when it comes to issuing the ninth badge, the gym will review it more diligently!

In other words, if you only have the strength to obtain eight badges, and now you have obtained the current Cerulean Blue badge, then you can only hope that the badge will not expire, or will expire early.

If it expires a month or half a month before the competition registration starts, and you suddenly have to challenge for the eighth badge again, you will inevitably be in a hurry.

Especially those trainers who barely have the eighth badge to challenge and whose success rate is not 100%. Once this happens, they will definitely have the desire to have sexual contact with canines!

"Is the current Hualan Gym a water gym?" Guan Liyuan asked.

If he hadn't suspected that Xiaoxia was related to Hualan Gym, Guan Liyuan would never have paid attention to this gym that could cheat him at any time.

"No, it's the fire element." Qingzi's words were somewhat beyond Guan Liyuan's expectations.

"Huh?" Guan Liyuan had always thought that Hualan Gym was for the water element.

After all, no matter in animations, comics or games, although some gym leaders are Xiaoxia and some are her sister, there is no doubt that they are all water gyms!

Moreover, the badge style that Guan Liyuan saw on the electronic illustrated book, the Hualan Gym badge is also similar to the shape of a water drop...

However, Guan Liyuan immediately realized that the shape of the badge was determined by the city where it is located and has nothing to do with the attributes of the gym itself!

The official gym qualifications of the Pokémon world are based on city-based standards.

As a medium-sized city, Cerulean City has only one official gym indicator, and no matter which gym becomes the official gym of Cerulean City, it will be called the "Cheran Blue Gym", and the badges issued will also be "Hualan Gym". Blue Badge”…

It can be seen that the gym is doing qualifications for the city, and the badges also reflect the city's style. For example, Hualan City is a seaside city, and the badge style is also related to water.

"Well, I was shocked at first. Cerulean City is obviously an area with a lot of water-type Pokémon, but the one with the official gym qualification is a fire-type gym!" Haruko said.

Usually the urban environment also has some influence on the attributes of the gym. After all, if there are more water Pokémon in the location, the water gym will definitely be more popular.

"The Garden Gym that threatens his status is the Water Gym?" Guan Liyuan then asked.

"No...it is a grass-type gym that is restrained by the fire-type. If it were not for the attribute restraint, although the 'Garden Gym' passed the qualification review, it repeatedly failed in the gym duels. I am afraid that the official gym qualifications It has changed hands.”

Well, the attributes of the "Garden Gym" do fit in with its name!

"Do you know the situation of the gym leaders of their two gyms?" Guan Liyuan asked after thinking about it for a while.

Originally, he thought that Xiaoxia must be related to Hualan Gym, but the current situation left him confused.

Qingzi seemed to be wondering why Guan Liyuan was still interested in Hualan Gym, but she still replied: "Eh? As for the gym owner... I heard that the current head of Hualan Gym is a man who is almost fifty years old. Fire Pokémon Master, it is precisely because the alliance stipulates that 'trainers over the age of fifty are not allowed to hold positions in official gyms', so everyone estimates that the official gym qualifications in Cerulean City will change hands this year..."

This is a regulation made by the alliance to support "newcomers"...

Of course, older former gym trainers can choose to take up positions in the alliance, and even if they don't go, they will still receive generous condolence payments.

Haruko continued: "The directors of the Garden Gym are much younger. There are three in total, and they are all beauties with outstanding looks and temperament. They are also very popular in Cerulean City. The three beauties of Cerulean are called Sakura, Peonies and calamuses!”

"They are all names of flowers..." Guan Liyuan sighed.

Of course Guan Liyuan remembered that these three names also appeared in the animation, and they were Xiaoxia's three sisters.

When it comes to Pokémon duels, the three of them are very unmotivated and prefer performing tricks on the water...

However, since they can become candidates for official gym leaders in the Pokémon world, the personalities of the three are definitely different from those in the anime!

At the same time, Guan Liyuan was also completely confused. If Xiaoxia was related to Hualan Gym, which company would she be related to?

None of them are water gymnasiums, which makes Guan Liyuan feel strange...

At this moment, Guan Liyuan's cell phone rang. Seeing that it was Xiaoxia's number, Guan Liyuan immediately answered the phone and asked, "Hello? Xiaoxia, are you still at home?"

"No, I'm out!" Xiaoxia looked angry.

"Then should I go back to the Pokémon Center now? You should ask the front desk first if you can borrow the spare room card."

Xiaoxia's key card is still at Guan Liyuan's place.

"Are you eating out? Wherever you are, I'll go too! I haven't eaten yet!" Xiaoxia obviously looked unhappy.

"That's the restaurant you mentioned..."

"I'll be right over." Xiaoxia said and hung up the phone.

Guan Liyuan obviously also guessed that Xiaoxia must be unhappy going home this time. Otherwise, how could she finally go home without even eating?

"Um... I have friends coming over soon, so I'll change tables first." Guan Liyuan said to Qingzi.

"How can that work? We agreed to treat you to dinner, so why don't your friends come with you? Are you worried that I can't afford the bill?" Haruko said half-jokingly.

Xiaoyue also came back at this time, continuing to sit opposite Guan Liyuan, lowering her head and pretending to be Sadako...

"Ah! It can't be your girlfriend, right? If that's the case, Xiaoyue and I will retreat first!" Haruko suddenly thought.

"That's not..."

Guan Liyuanxin said: [I'm worried that Miss Sadako over there, who doesn't know how to chat, and the powder keg over here will start fighting in a while! 】
