I don’t know whether it was because of my trust in Takuya or the fear and respect for the Tobaya Gymnasium standing behind him, the frightened crowd quickly dispersed, and the unlucky injured people followed Takuya to the hospital with the help of their companions.

[This Changpan Gymnasium is so majestic.] Watching Takuya, who had been expressionless, lead his younger brother and the injured, Vyzel began to comment again, [A mere disciple of the gym has the prestige to calm such a big bad incident. I wonder what kind of majesty that Sakagi should have?]

For some reason, the figures of those dictators who were notorious in history suddenly flashed through Merlin's mind.

Soon, the originally noisy park returned to peace, and only the messy venue was silently telling what happened not long ago.

[Do you still want to go? Go to that Changpan Gymnasium?]

"Of course. Since you are here, you have to go and see it. It's a wish." After tidying up your appearance, tightening your backpack behind you, Meilin continued to move towards Changpan Gymnasium.

"Speaking of this, where is Changpan Gymnasium?" Just now, after walking out with a proud look, Merlin suddenly thought of a fatal problem - he didn't know the way.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Thanks to those who invented the global positioning system, those who invented the handheld computer, those who developed real-time real-life map applications, and even more, to the old lady who is enthusiastic about guiding the way.

With the help of countless talented and patriots, and with the careful guidance of a warm and amiable old lady, Meilin finally found the Changpan Gymnasium in the big city of Changpan City, and finally came to the holy place in his heart that he had once longed for now.

"In terms of this appearance, Changpan Gymnasium can definitely enter the top ten in Guandu area. Oh no, it should be the top five, uh, or the top three?" Mei Lin, standing in front of Changpan Gymnasium, was examining the building in front of him from a "professional" perspective.

"The Gymnasium is made of steel-concrete structure as the main structure, and limestone is used to construct it. Well, the white limestone is generally used to look solemn and grand, while the walls are surrounded by brown colors that symbolize the earth, which is very decent. A large square extends around the Gymnasium, which plays a role in beautifying the cityscape. The towering columns and flower beds are just right, especially this fountain..."

While commenting on architecture, Verzel dubbed Merlin in his mind with the voice of [balabala, balabala].

Ignoring the noise in my mind, Merlin continued to speak up.

"...The style of the column is Corinthian column style, symbolizing luxury and richness, with strong decorative nature. However, it does not match the gender of the owner and the attributes of the gym. Doric column style should be used. The simple and stout style should be more suitable for the Changpan Gym..."

"...The carving of the handrail is very simple, and it can even be said to be rough. It is impossible to tell what style or style it is, like the same industrial garbage produced by the same..."

"...The water shape of the fountain is mushroom-shaped, which makes it monotonous. The shape of the nozzle is an iron-armored Tyrannosaurus, which is considered a fit, but the engraving workers are too ordinary and they don't choose the materials carefully..."

"...The reliefs on the wall are barely worth seeing. They should be the work of professional masters, but they are not considered to be excellent at most. The work is too single, just draw all the ground-type Pokémons in Guandu area, and the shape is also average..."

"...Oh, these two guards are pretty good and very strong, but why do you wear chest armor? You also wear crown helmets? And they are vertical crown helmets that senior officers can wear. In order to match the overall style, you should wear bronze armor. Wearing that kind of 'muscle armor' is the unity of style. How can you stand here in the conqueror's clothing? And you also hold the Helvesia halberd in your hands, and the things on your whole body are pieced together. The ones in your hands are not as good as you wear for more than ten centuries!"

After Merlin's comment, the two large guards' faces, which were originally shrouded in their helmets, seemed to look darker.

One of them cleared his throat and asked in a thick voice: "Boy, are you a tourist or a challenger?"

"Does the people here speak so rudely?" Merlin asked an irrelevant question.

Perhaps because of the short, thin and pale face, Merlin looked no threat, the guards regarded him as a flower in the greenhouse where they were kept at home and never went out for many years, so they did not drive him away directly, but instead answered Merlin's question.

"This is the voice of a real man." The guard on the right replied in a slightly muffled voice, and he glanced at Merlin.

"Stop talking nonsense, boy." The guard on the left who spoke first asked again: "Are you a simply visitor or a challenger at the gym?"

"What about a tourist? So what about a challenger?" Merlin asked in a slightly frivolous attitude and tone.

"If you are a tourist, please stay away from us and go somewhere else to check it out." The guard on the left said with a slightly cruel smile: "If you are a challenger, you will be blessed. Today is Mr. Takuya on duty, and he still has a challenge place."

"Boy, I advise you not to bother us and go to play elsewhere." The guard on the right also spoke, "No matter how I think you are not like a trainer, maybe you are still a minor. That boy Takushi looks much older than you."

"Yes, that kid is only twelve years old and stronger than you." The guard on the left also said: "Taoshi was caught by Mr. Takuya just now. It seems that he sneaked out to fight with someone. By the way, when did he run out?"

"Who knows, it didn't slip away from the main entrance anyway. It didn't slip away when we were on duty."

"Speaking of this, Mr. Takuya also took the boy Takushi too tight. The half-old boy happened to be in the wild, so how could he be locked up?"

"It can be said that yes. But speaking of this, I heard from Ada and the others that Takushi is very talented, and even the boss admires him very much."

“When it comes to BOSS…”

The two guards actually ignored Meilin and started to chat in a mess.

"Well, I'm here to challenge Changpan Gymnasium. My name is Meilin, from Fengji Town. This is my training card..." Meilin stood among two chattering guards at some point, holding a red trainer card in his hand. This color represents his trainer level for the time being, and has not accumulated any scores.

"Uh..." The guard on the right was stunned for a moment, but with his eyes he could still tell the authenticity of this magnetic card. He never expected that such a thin little guy was really a trainer.

"Uh, then, are you really a challenger?" The guard on the left suspiciously compared the photos on the magnetic card with Merlin himself, but no matter how you look at it, it is exactly the same.

"Yes, I came to challenge the Takapan Gymnasium to visit. Although I originally wanted to challenge the owner of the museum, Mr. Sakagi, it would be okay if he didn't have someone to take over the class." Merlin said seriously.

In situations where Merlin feels unsafe, he will disguise himself as a seemingly childish, soft and slim voiced malnourished boy. This is a way for him to protect himself from harm, and at the same time, this can also play the so-called role of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger to some extent.

"Challenger, since you are here by your name, you should know that our Changpan Gymnasium is very strict and very harsh. I advise you to go to some low-level gyms first to accumulate some experience before coming." The guard on the right spoke and persuaded Meilin, "For example, the famous Hualan Gymnasium is very suitable for newbies like you. Or the Nibi Gymnasium is also good, so you can learn some useful knowledge."

"Yes, I'm afraid you will lose to the end. Mr. Takuya's move is quite heavy. Don't accidentally kill your baby." The left guard also persuaded Meilin.

[Kill it? It seems that this Takuya doesn't all refer to the name of Changpan Gymnasium.] Meilin thought.

Merlin deliberately pretended to be frightened by the guards and hesitated for a while before answering them: "It's okay, my friends are all very strong, I believe them."

"Okay, okay, don't blame us for not reminding you if something happened in the end." The guard on the right said with a smirk.

"There are challenges!" The two guards suddenly shouted, turned around together, and pushed open the gate of Changpan Gymnasium with great difficulty.

"Please, Meilin, a challenger from Fengji Town, will be greeted by Takuya, the great disciple of Changpan Gymnasium. Be careful at your feet and wish you a smooth challenge." The guards led Meilin into the slightly dim gym and saw him off with a majestic voice.

After saying that, the two guards retreated outside the door and slowly closed the thick gate.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

"Please follow me." A young man dressed as a waiter with a torch in his hand walked out of the darkness and led Merlin to continue.

There was nothing to say along the way. Soon, Merlin led the waiter to the battleground in the gym.

The battlegrounds of Takapan Gate are not the size of the standard battlegrounds that are commonly used today, but are larger and longer than that, making the scope of battle wider.

"Are you the challenger?"

As soon as Meilin stood on one side of his position, he heard Takuya's unique and strong male voice coming from the darkness, but there seemed to be a little contempt in his voice.

But he nodded and admitted his identity.

"Why are those two guys putting everyone in?" Takuya, who had not yet walked out of the darkness, made a sound of moving joints. "Boy, I'll give you a vaccination in advance. My trial is very difficult and dangerous. If you don't want your Pokémon to be injured or even die, please abstain quickly. When fighting, I won't hold back."

As he spoke, the Taku who was leaning against his knuckles also walked out of the darkness.

At this time, he took off his shirt, revealing his strong muscles and blue veins. There were many scars of different sizes on his chest and arms. Combined with his expressionless face, it only made him feel a little scary.

In fact, to be fair, Takuya has a long face and thick lips, which looks honest.

"Then please show your mercy." Meilin looked at the side of the venue, a referee dressed in a standard referee's suit was already in place, so he bowed to Takuya, indicating that he could fight.

"You chose this yourself." Takuya glanced at Meilin and signaled that the referee could start.

"Now, the challenger Meilin from Fengji Town launched a challenge to Takuya, a disciple of the Changpan Gymnasium, to bet on the Gymnasium badge." The referee raised the red and green flags, making him target Meilin and Takuya respectively. "The challenge rules are as follows: the two sides fight three to three, and the three Pokémons lose their combat ability is negative. During this period, only the challenger can replace Pokémon at will."

The referee raised the flag and rushed forward, saying: "One side of the gym will release Pokémon first, and the challenger will attack first. If both sides have no objections, then the game..." The referee raised the flag again and pulled a long voice: "...it's officially started!" After that, he waved the flag suddenly.

"Try your quality first," Takuya took off a brown baby ball from behind his waist and enlarged it to release. "Go up, the armored rhino!" After saying that, he threw the baby ball to the field casually.

[Isn't this the so-called "Ground of the Earth"?] Merlin glanced at the treasure ball that Takuya had put away. It was from this painted treasure ball that the boy with shorts who seemed to be called Takushi released a large-scale Nido King.

[Has a guy who is strong and not very good at heart sent out?] Meilin looked at the iron-armored rhino on the field. Its body was thick, its armor shone with a healthy luster, and its four short legs were very thick.

After weighing the constraints of the venue, Merlin quickly arranged the tactics to deal with it.

“Bombardment

time!" Merlin took out the treasure ball with Kaimen from behind her waist and threw it towards the battlefield. "Kemen, let's wash his face first!" As she said that, Merlin's right hand snapped his fingers habitually.

Kaimen, who had just emerged from the release beam of the baby ball, opened his mouth and a very thick and powerful water cannon shot out, aiming directly at the iron-armored rhino who was leisurely on the other side of the field.

Seeing the water cannon approaching, Takuya did not issue any instructions, and even gave people the feeling that he seemed to expect his armored rhino to be hit.

[Absolutely fraudulent.] Vyzel made a statement.

[I know, but I can only wait and see what happened.] Meilin clenched his fists and waited to see the reaction of the iron-armored rhino.

Both humans and Pokémon know that the armored rhino is a very stupid creature. This is not only reflected in the clumsiness of the body, but also in intelligence. After all, you cannot expect that it is as smart as an orange-sized brain. Fortunately, after evolving into the armored tyrannosaurus, its intelligence has finally gone from far failed to pass, but please note that it is only passed. Perhaps it will not be able to use its IQ until it evolves into the super Iron Tyrannosaurus, right?

Although it is extremely stupid, it is also extremely destructive. This kind of big guy with a shoulder height of about one meter and a weight tonnage is a little bit of a piece of cake, crushing cars, etc. In ancient times, a non-famous general drove a group of frightened armored rhinos to break through the siege of the enemy's army several times that of his own, and even trampled on the enemy's city in exchange for a famous victory. But unfortunately, he was also trampled to death by the armored rhinos in the process.

Putting aside the flaw of intelligence, the armored rhino is also a Pokémon that is very popular among trainers. It is strong, powerful, and destructive. Although there is also a risk of injury, this accident cannot prevent people from subdueing it to almost extinction. In the end, the alliance had to protect it in the wild wilderness area, and it was not opened to subdue it until it was reproduced in large quantities in recent years.

Takuya dared to let the armored rhino bear the damage caused by four times the restraint of attributes without avoiding it (although to be honest, it is really difficult to avoid it). This undoubtedly has some trump card.

"Roar~~~"

The water cannon was impartially in the face of the armored rhino. The four-fold restraint attack made the armored rhino roar in extreme pain. However, Kaimen's water cannon was not the kind of weak attack that quickly had no stamina. Kaimen's water cannon continued to output damage after hitting it.

"Hmph, the beating was quite accurate and lasted quite a long time..." Takuya said in a voice that seemed to be squeezed out of his nose: "But this is far from enough!"

After saying that, he twitched from his waist and actually pulled out a whip.

"Bang!!" Takuya waved his right hand casually, and the whip exploded in the air.

As if responding, the iron-armored rhino actually roared, and then it closed its eyes and suffered the continuous damage caused by the water cannon, running towards Kaimen.

[It turns out to be a beast trainer.] Seeing Takuya directing Pokémon with a whip, Merlin also judged his origin.

Unlike the young insect-catching teenagers born in Nibi City, trainers who have been born in Changpan have a unified name for outsiders - beast trainers. These trainers who use simple but meaningful calls to command Pokémon battles have been famous since ancient times and are terrifying. Especially their unique skills - the technique of using whips to command Pokémon for combat, are superb skills in the eyes of outsiders.

However, to this day, the beast trainers born in Chang Pan rarely use whips to command Pokémon in public - because this behavior is considered to be suspected of abuse of Pokémon by the public - they have to transfer this ancient skill from the open to the underground to continue to be passed on and used.

[Isn't Mr. Sakagi a good beast trainer? There is no reason why his disciples are not.]

"Kemen, the maximum output!" Merlin immediately issued a battle order to Kaimen.

Kaimen, who received the order, stared at his eyes and the water cannon that ejected from his mouth immediately became much thicker. The water cannon of this size has reached the current limit of Kaimen. Its body and weight also restricted the power of the trick in some aspects.
To be continued...
