Chapter 5: Evaluation Is Average (Please Read On)

Chapter 5 Evaluation is, average (please read~)

"Wow~oh! Is this the gym you mentioned, Red!?"

"It's really... so big!!!"

When they arrived at Deep Gray City, Red and Luffy were like tourists with empty wallets. They passed all kinds of buildings with the characteristics of Deep Gray City and came directly to the largest place in the city except the Pokémon Center - Deep Gray Gym!

Just as the Evergreen Forest has become a real forest, the Deep Gray Gym at this time is also completely different from the small stone room in the game.

Before getting close, you can see two large rock snakes standing on both sides of the gym gate from a distance, making the whole gym full of majesty and grandeur.

Just standing at the door, you can feel a deep rock breath coming towards you.

Through the door of the gym, you can faintly hear some noisy sounds, proving the vitality of this gym.

"Let's go!" Red stepped forward and stretched out his hand to push open the two seemingly heavy rock doors that were actually equipped with electric tracks.

Looking around, the decoration inside the entire gym is in line with the theme of the gym.

Here, whether it is the ground or the wall, it is all made of rocks, showing a deep earth brown, simple and solemn.

The training area in the center of the gym is full of strange rocks, and there are many tall rock piles made of huge stones.

Near each rock pile, there are one or two trainers wearing green uniforms and training rock-type Pokémon.

It’s easy to know...

These people should be the experience babies in the original game that give players extra fighting opportunities before challenging the gym!

On both sides of the edge of the gym, there are two huge audience stands.

At this time, there are some spectators sitting in twos and threes on the stands, not too many, not too few, staring at the rock gym area below.

"It’s just a group of trainers training Pokémon, why do they have so many spectators?"

"The machine is not rigorous in this regard~"

Red commented on the gym scene produced by the game console like an appreciator.

Luffy on the side also exclaimed: "Wow~ There are so many people here!"

Obviously, the machine has optimized the gym much more seriously than other areas, making it look more like a Pokémon gym.

Rather than a simple small room in the game.

Hearing Luffy's words, Red also turned his eyes and focused on the gym trainers, with a slight smile on his face:

"Yes, there are indeed a lot of people."

Speaking of which, in the game, the experience points and rewards provided by these gym trainers are much higher than those of trainers in the wild.

Maybe the gains from this gym battle will be more than I expected!

He thought secretly in his heart, and then suddenly shouted to the curious Luffy beside him:

"Luffy!"

"Do you see those guys in front who are dressed like leeks!?"

"Let's go!"

"Let's go over and harvest them!"

"Is it going to fight again?! Leave it all to me!" Luffy grinned, moving his shoulders and stepping forward, with an eager expression on his face.

Although the opponents he encountered along the way were very weak, he still felt novel and excited to be able to fight against interesting creatures.

Entering the gym, Red and Luffy walked along the rocky path and rushed towards a girl who was training Geodude.

As soon as they approached, before Red could speak, the girl's expression suddenly became serious when she saw them, and she took the initiative to speak:

"Who are you!?"

"This is the Dark Gray Gym! It's not a place for fun!"

"What? You are still ten thousand light years too early to challenge Gym Leader Xiaogang!"

"Let me test your strength!"

"Go, Geodude!"

Without giving Red and Luffy any chance to speak, the girl threw out the Poké Ball and released her Pokémon.

The arc-shaped field suddenly opened, wrapping Red and Luffy in it.

"Sure enough! The people in this world are so weird!"

Until now, Luffy still couldn't understand the brain circuits of these NPCs, and looked at the girl with a puzzled look.

However, when Akari saw this, his mouth curled up slightly, and he was not surprised.

In line with the girl's lines, he also responded in a middle school way:

"You are so bold to say that from a mere Deep Gray Gym!"

After saying that, Akari stepped back and protected Luffy in front of him.

"Let's go, Luffy! Let her see how powerful you are!"

"Oh——!"

Luffy, who had already had experience, jumped from Akari's side to the center of the battle field and confronted Geodude on the opposite side.

A status bar rose above Geodude's head: [LV: 7, HP: 28/28]

At the same time.

The entire gym suddenly became quiet.

All the NPCs seemed to have received some instructions and turned their eyes to Luffy and Geodude in the battle field.

A deep BGM appeared appropriately, playing above the gym, and the lingering sound lingered.

Every drumbeat seemed to excite the soul.

The audience on both sides also started cheering inexplicably, as if they were really watching an exciting Pokémon battle.

“Hey, hey~ He’s just a gym trainer, is it necessary to be so serious?”

Finally knowing the significance of these spectators, Akari couldn't help but secretly discuss it in his heart.

But it should be said that this feeling of being the center of attention is really a bit strange.

Even though he knew that the other side was just a group of mindless NPCs, Akari's emotions were still mobilized in this situation.

"The atmosphere has come up all of a sudden~"

"Now we have to cooperate!"

He suddenly ordered Luffy like a real trainer:

"Luffy, use Razor! Go behind Geodude!"

"Huh?"

Luffy, who had always been fighting independently, was obviously stunned when he heard this.

But he soon realized that this was Akari's order.

Immediately, he also gave up thinking and subconsciously followed Akari's order, stepping on his feet and using the Sixth Style·Razor.

A dark shadow flashed by, and Luffy instantly dodged behind Geodude.

Geodude is a clumsy Pokémon, not to mention that it is only level 7, so it is naturally impossible to keep up with Luffy's reaction speed.

As for the gym trainer, he was even more confused by Luffy's sudden operation.

And the red voice was transmitted to the center of the battle again.

"Now! Attack its back!"

Luffy suddenly stretched his arms: "Rubber rubber... pistol!!!"

"No! Get out of the way, Geodude!"

In the battle field, the trainer on the opposite side obviously got rid of the programmatic shackles temporarily and possessed the fighting ability that matched his status.

However...

In the face of absolute power, any command is pale and powerless.

Even if it is a magical skill, get out of the way!

Peng!!!

The bullet-like fist slammed into Geodude's hard body, but Geodude, who had a strong character, couldn't help but let out a painful wail.

"Hacha~..."

In the status bar at the top of Geodude's head, the HP that was originally full also performed a blood bar disappearance technique and was instantly cleared.

One hit ended the game.

The battle field slowly disappeared.

But at this moment, a look of surprise flashed across Red's face.

Just below the information prompt of Luffy gaining experience points, another information prompt appeared immediately:

[Complete command, evaluation: average. ]

[Get extra reward: experience +8]

"What is this? Extra reward!?"

As Akari's mind moved, the information prompt that was disappearing instantly froze in place.

After carefully reading the content of the confidence prompt, Akari suddenly realized.

"Come to think of it, this seems to be the first time I command Luffy to fight?"

"Could it be that..."

"Depending on how well I command, there will be extra experience points after defeating the opponent!?"

"I didn't expect the machine to have such an effect. Not bad, not bad. The sense of participation has risen all of a sudden!"

"As for whether it is what I thought..."

Akaari's eyes flashed, and then his eyes were on the trainer on the other side of the rock pile.

"Just test it!"

...

...

[Monkey D. Luffy defeated the gym trainer's Geodude and gained: experience points +38. ]

[Complete command, evaluation: useless. ]

[No extra reward. 】

……

……

[Monkey D. Luffy defeated the gym trainer's Geodude and received: Experience +38. 】

[Completed the command, evaluation: Average. 】

[Received additional reward: Experience +8]

……

……

The next two gym trainers that Red met gave Luffy different instructions.

One was to make Luffy do a lot of strange moves, and take two attacks from Geodude in vain, and then kill the opponent.

The other was to do the same as before, shave + flat attack, and instantly kill Geodude.

The results were "useless" and "average", which confirmed Red's guess.

"Sure enough, I said that my role can't be just to gather people to play games!"

"That's right, as a trainer, how can I not command my own Pokémon!"

"It seems that I can't relax in the future, and I have to work harder in this area."

"There is no reward for useless commands, and an additional reward of one-fifth of the original experience for average commands."

"As for whether I can get more additional rewards..."

Red paused.

Although he also wanted to do better, and there was no better evaluation than the general ones...

However, with Luffy's level, no matter how much he commanded, he couldn't do anything.

So this expectation can only be left to the future.

After all, they have more important things to do now!
