The last time I left the Qianlong Gym, it was still winter, but this time it has already entered midsummer.
The Taoist temple, which seemed particularly desolate when we left, is now covered with colorful flowers.
But although the scenery is beautiful, it still can't change Menas' sadness.
Menas, who had been looking forward to reuniting with his little girlfriend all the way, felt quite sad when he came out to a familiar place but did not see the familiar her.
The two dragons bid farewell to each other. By the lakeside, Menas was looking at the lake where he and Hackron had played, and he was in a daze.
Everything seems like yesterday.
I didn't expect this guy to be a love interest...
Xia Chen patted Menas helplessly and comforted him: "If our love lasts for a long time, how can we go back and forth day and night? In half a month at most, we can go to Long Island to find a wife for you."
"Fuwu..."
Nodding without interest, Menas got into the lake, seemingly wanting to be alone for a while.
Xia Chen did not disturb him and turned back to the gym.
She met Long Yue who seemed to be looking for her. She bowed slightly and said, "Xia Chen, my father is waiting for you in the reception room."
Xia Chen smiled and nodded, and followed Long Yue to the familiar reception room.
Compared with half a year ago, Tatsuno seemed to have changed little. He was still the handsome middle-aged guy with a slight vicissitude. He greeted the guests who had come from afar to sit down.
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then got down to business.
…………
Long Ye took a sip of tea and said, "I believe Xiaoyue has told you about Long Island, right?"
Xia Chen nodded and sincerely thanked: "Yes, thank you very much for giving me this precious qualification."
Tatsuno replied: "I don't have this qualification. The Presbyterian Council on Long Island agreed. In the past hundreds of years, you are the first person who is not from the Yulong family to land on the island."
Although he said this, Xia Chen knew that without Long Ye raising the matter, how could the dragons have mentioned letting him land on the island for no reason.
Xia Chen silently recorded this feeling in his heart.
Tatsuno continued: "Before landing on the island, let me tell you something about Long Island. First of all, humans cannot land on the island for more than five days at a time. This is the rule of Long Island. Even if I go there, I must abide by it."
"But including the sea area between the islands, the entire Dragon Island is almost half the size of Jiangnan Province, so you'd better think about the elves you want in advance. If you go there and choose at the same time, you will definitely not have enough time.
."
Xia Chen nodded repeatedly and recorded this precious information in his heart.
Tatsuno took out another map that seemed to be made of some kind of animal fur and placed it on the table.
"This is a map of Long Island drawn by our ancestors who spent more than ten generations on dozens of visits to the island. Although it cannot be as detailed as modern maps, the topography and landforms are still generally complete."
After a pause, Tatsuno said: "The most important thing is the distribution map of elves. I have the map here. You can come and borrow it at any time."
Xia Chen took it with both hands, nodded and thanked: "Thank you, Uncle Long!"
He was a little touched. From allowing himself, an outsider, to land on the island, to lending him the unique map of Dragon Island, Tatsuno simply treated him like one of his own family members.
Moreover, his keen observation also noticed the surprise in Long Yue's eyes when Long Ye took out the map just now.
The importance of this map in their home is self-evident.
When he heard Xia Chen's changed name, Long Ye also smiled.
…………
After taking the map, Xia Chen scanned it carefully from top to bottom.
From the map, Long Island is an archipelago composed of three main islands and several small islands.
The three main islands are inhabited by different types of dragon elves due to their different landforms and climates.
The main island to the north is mostly made up of valleys, and most of them are home to flying dragons, or elves related to dragons, such as flying dragons, three-headed evil dragons, desert dragonflies, fire-breathing dragons, etc.
The terrain of the main island in the southwest is dominated by jungle vegetation, and the climate is more tropical. It is home to elves such as the Rod-tailed Scale Dragon, the Apple-Wrapped Dragon, the Tropical Dragon, and the Explosive Turtle Beast.
The main island in the southeast has the largest area and richer topography, and is home to the most elves.
Moreover, the Kuailong of the royal family lives on this main island.
In addition, the Biting Land Shark, Banjilas, Mysaurus, Baluto the Dragon, Styrophysosaurus...
Most of the quasi-gods are distributed on this island.
After looking at it for about five minutes and having the contents of the map firmly imprinted in his mind, Xia Chen handed the map back.
Long Ye said in surprise: "You won't watch anymore?"
Although the map is not big, it is very rich in content. The distribution of dozens of elves is not something that can be memorized in five minutes.
Xia Chen scratched his head and said, "I have a better memory and I have memorized everything. How about you do a random check?"
The role of superpowers is not just for fighting. The powerful mental power also allows Xia Chen's brain to be more fully developed.
Although Xia Chen is far from having a photographic memory now, he can definitely remember a map with a small amount of information.
Naturally, Long Ye would not be so bored to conduct random checks. In the end, this is Xia Chen's own business, as long as Xia Chen has this confidence.
On the contrary, he was more concerned about another thing, "I heard from Xiaoyue that the power of your Menas's dragon-type moves now exceeds 1.3 times?"
Xia Chen said modestly: "Yes, thanks to the cultivation secret book you gave me, Menas's strength has now reached the senior level."
…………
Saying this, Xia Chen suddenly thought of one thing. It seemed a little vague as to what level of strength Menas and Xianbu were.
The reason for this is still due to the fact that he has not fought an evenly matched battle for a long time.
Or facing an enemy like the super-sized Yveltar, the few battles with Mingyi after returning were completely unsatisfactory.
Her Monarch Snake has just reached the senior level. Although it is already outstanding among her peers, it is not good enough compared with Senbomenas and others.
Now that we have arrived at the Qianlong Gym, it seems like a good opportunity?
Although my two fairy-type elves seem to be able to restrain the dragon-type elves, the gym has always been a place where you are stronger and I am stronger.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Unless your strength has surpassed that of the Gym Leader.
Xia Chen, a veteran gym leader like Long Ye, doesn't even believe that he only has a few king-level elves in his hands.
As for the gym leader profession, because he competes with people of all levels of strength all year round, he can best control his own strength, and is simply the best mirror to reflect his strength.
After withdrawing his thoughts, Xia Chen suddenly said seriously: "Uncle Long, I have a request."
Long Ye put down the tea cup and said with a smile: "Why, which of my daughters do you like?"
Xia Chen almost couldn't hold back his breath when he just mentioned, I regard you as my brother, do you still want to be my father?
He said helplessly: "I'm not joking with you, it's serious business."
Longye looked a little more serious, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
Xia Chen said in a deep voice: "I want to challenge the gym!"
——————
Xia Chen passed the senior trainer test in Baike City in the Kalos region in March of this year.
Although the Qianlong Gym is a gym in the Donghuang area, the trainer certificates of the nine major alliances are universal, so Xia Chen is actually qualified to challenge the gym.
This is a very rare thing for a trainer who has only debuted for a year.
When Xia Chen was traveling in Carlos, he also thought about challenging the gym, but at first he didn't reach the limit and was not qualified. Later, he was too busy with trivial matters and had no time to fight.
So this is his first time to challenge the gym.
Seeing the senior trainer certificate that Xia Chen took out, Long Ye had no reason to reject it, both emotionally and rationally.
It just so happened that there was no one else challenging the gym at this time, so after simple preparations, Xia Chen stood on the main arena of the Qianlong Gym as a gym challenger.
Xia Chen's first gym match in his career as a trainer is about to begin.
Although it is an unknown gym competition, Qianlong Gym is the most famous gym in the Donghuang area after all. On weekdays, there are always some local citizens who come here for a walk or two when they have nothing to do.
Seeing that there was something lively to watch, many people bought drinks and snacks and stayed in the auditorium.
In addition to some apprentices from the Qianlong Gym, there were only a few dozens of people watching the match.
Not long after, Tatsuno, the gym leader who finished selecting the Pokémon to fight, returned to the arena.
Both sides are ready.
On the sidelines, the referee for this gym competition was Long Yue. After the two stood still, she began to announce the rules of the gym challenge.
"This game adopts international standard 3v3 rules. When any elf on both sides loses the ability to fight, or one side admits defeat, the game ends. Do both sides have any objections?"
An old man and a young man said in unison: "No objection."
Long Yue nodded, "Then, the game begins!"
…………
"Come out, Coconut Tree!"
"Menas, prepare to fight!"
Two white lights flashed, and the elves from both sides appeared.
A tree-like elf with an extremely long neck and an otherworldly-looking elf that looks more like a snake than a dragon stand on both sides of the battlefield.
As the leader of a dragon-type gym, Tatsuno naturally sent a coconut egg tree in the form of Alola, with dual attributes of grass and dragon.
The attribute of Caojialong is four times water resistance, which seems to completely match the pure water-type Menas.
But in fact, this attribute combination has the same fatal weakness as the Earth Dragon and the Flying Dragon, which is that it is four times weaker than ice.
But this does not mean that the Coconut Egg Tree is completely at a disadvantage. As long as you are always wary of Menus' ice moves, the attribute advantage of the Coconut Egg Tree is still there.
For Tatsuno, the gym leader, this is not difficult to achieve.
And the onlookers who often come here to watch games are also very aware of Tatsuno's strength.
So, after seeing the two elves, many people immediately laughed out loud.
"Haha, I love seeing four times the resistance. I don't know what evil this young man has done. He is quite unlucky."
"But it's rare for the owner of the museum to use this elf. It's probably him who ran into it."
"I have seen it once. This coconut egg tree is not too strong. It is still far away from the elite level. As long as the challenger changes to an elf, it will be easy to defeat."
"It's hard to say, the coconut egg tree won't be able to withstand the freezing beam from Menas."
"Is this your first time watching Dragon Hall Master's game? As the saying goes, the person who knows you best is always your enemy. No one knows how to counter ice-type moves better than Dragon Hall Master!"
"That's right, just keep an eye on it. In less than two minutes, this gym challenger will definitely change the elf."
"Stop chatting, the battle has begun!"
"Damn it, why don't you change and just fight? Is this young man so brave?"
In the not-too-dense auditorium, there were bursts of surprised cries.
Because on the field, in a match that they thought was completely unwinnable, Xia Chen did not choose to change the elves, but directly went ahead!
