Chapter 512: Damn it, the gym actually refreshed its gym leader!
Mewtwo may be the most famous Pokémon IP after Pikachu and Charizard.
Not only because of its power, but more importantly because of its other special attribute - the artificial legendary elf created based on the dream gene.
Of course, there have been such existences since then, such as Genesect, Magearna, and the Silver Companion Beast, but the reputation of these three combined cannot compare to Mewtwo.
Although it is due to the light that appeared first, the fundamental reason is also because Chaomeng has a very strong philosophical reflection. What is the relationship between elves and humans, creators and created beings?
But these are all problems after Chaomeng was created. At this moment, the question that the researchers in the Red Lotus Base are most concerned about is-when will Chaomeng have real life?
This problem that has troubled the institute for several years has finally made progress in the past few days.
"Uncle Xia, Chaomeng's life detector is responding!"
"It's the same on our side, the energy fluctuation of the instrument has reached a new peak!"
"The absorption speed of the nutrient solution is greatly accelerated, fast! Get one with a larger dose and higher concentration!"
"..."
The successive good news plunged the usually silent research center into a roar of joy.
Five years ago, Team Rocket established the [Super Dream Creation Project] through the discovery of Mew's eyelash fossils. Three years ago, the prototype of Mewtwo's body began to appear.
Since then, research has failed to make any real progress.
The initial ambitions of most researchers were slowly worn away in the three years of silence. Only Xia Bo, the general director of the institute, still firmly believed that the experiment would be successful.
Today, the experimental progress finally made a breakthrough!
Xia Bo listened to the cheers of his colleagues, but he was thinking about one thing in his heart.
Which legendary elf did the hair that was sent over from the headquarters to be mixed into the experiment belong to?
That's right, the breakthrough in Mewtwo's experiment was not a qualitative change caused by accumulated quantitative changes over time, but a change brought about by some kind of elf hair sent by Sakaki's cronies.
To be precise, not one kind, but several.
Such as the hair of beast elves, the scales of dragon elves, and even human skin tissue.
Xia Bo didn't know why the headquarters sent these things, but what Sakaki conveyed was - give it a try.
Although there is some intention of an outsider guiding an expert, Sakaki's voice in the Rockets is so high that he cannot refuse.
More importantly, Xia Bo's inner desire to refuse was not strong.
After failing to make a breakthrough in three years, he was also secretly seeking changes.
Sakaki's request was an opportunity, so he chose to try.
Judging from the current situation, this attempt was quite successful.
Mewtwo's various physical indicators have been infinitely close to those of a normal elf.
If everything goes well, soon, a super elf derived from dream genes will be born in my hand!
When he thought of this possibility, Xia Bo couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion in his heart.
This is the most important reason for his cooperation with the Rockets. It is not the ambition to dominate the world, but another higher-level ambition——
Only God can create life.
Xia Bo looked at Chaomeng who was soaked in the nutrient solution, with enthusiasm hidden in his deep eyes.
He had a premonition.
That day will come soon.
…………
May 1st, Donghuang area, Yuanling Island.
As Xia Chen and the elves returned from the Kanto area, the Lakeview Villa, which had been dormant for more than a month, finally came back to life.
Xia Chen still got up early today. Today is the first day he clocks in to work after becoming a social worker. His job responsibilities are -
Become a gym owner and accept challenges from traveling trainers.
Although the Yuanling Gym has been open for two months, the gym owner Xia Chen first participated in the competition, then saved Galar, and then studied Dynamax.
As a result, the gym leader Xia Chen has not played a gym challenge so far, and the acting gym leader Kris Jia has been taking charge of all of them.
Although with Xia Chen's current status, the alliance should not cause trouble for him, but out of responsibility, Xia Chen decided to take advantage of this period of rest at home to take over this responsibility that belongs to him.
"So, would any of you be willing to go to the gym with me to guard the gym?"
At the breakfast table, Xia Chen raised this question.
There was silence at the dining table. Everyone was immersed in cooking and seemed to have no interest in guarding the gym.
Xia Chen helplessly held his forehead.
He can completely understand the mentality of the elves - what's the point of fighting a group of elves who may not even be elite?
If you fight seriously, you can take one move in seconds, but this is definitely not possible.
The gym leader's duty is to test the challenger's strength, which means there must be at least a little back-and-forth between the two sides.
It's no fun to fight those "baby-level" elves, so why bother?
It's better to compete with your friends in the team at home.
The only one who took the initiative to sign up was the Burning Insect. It had no chance to play in important competitions and was unwilling to miss this opportunity to gain practical experience.
Xia Chen readily agreed and brought along a family of rats, baby bears, and electric flying squirrels that were not tamed but roamed nearby.
When one person attains enlightenment, rats and mice ascend to heaven.
They eat top-quality energy cubes for every meal, and from time to time they can use the resources of Xia Chen's main elves, Rat Rat and Bear Baby, who are stronger than most wild elves.
Elite level strength can be used to compete in gym challenges.
As for the other elves, Xia Chen also brought them with him.
This is purely out of an unbalanced mentality - I go to work, and you still want to play mindlessly at home?
Don’t give it!
So, taking the elves with him, Xia Chen went to the Yuanling Gym located in the south of Yuanling Island.
…………
Yuanling Island is very large and is roughly divided into three areas.
A large private living area near Xia Chen's house accounts for about one-fifth of the island's area.
Then there’s the [commercial district] in the south.
Gyms, elf centers, shops, hotels, restaurants, and training halls are all built here to serve gym challengers.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It also occupies about one-fifth of the entire Yuanling Island.
The remaining areas are all the original habitat of the wild elves on Yuanling Island.
Xia Chen needs to pass through a fruit forest from his home to his "company".
It is late spring and early summer, and it is the flowering season of pear and apple fruits.
Looking at the vast distance, the snow-white flowers and green leaves are clearly scattered among the tree trunks, which is so beautiful.
Many three-bee bees and butterfly-knot flies were busy collecting nectar among the flowers, causing the passing baby bears to drool.
His feet moved involuntarily towards the direction of the fruit trees, as if they were oiled.
Xia Chen caught it and said angrily: "They are still picking them, so go ahead. Your association skills are quite good."
The baby bear was dangling in the air with its four little feet, making coquettish sounds from its mouth.
Xia Chen had no choice but to promise, "Okay, when the honey is ready, I'll get some for you."
The baby bear stopped making noises.
Of course, the wild elves in the fruit forest are not only the three bees and the butterfly-knotted flies, but also the walking grasses that leisurely forage in the grass, the bobos that chirp on the fruit trees, and the curly ears that dig around underground...
These commonly seen elves form a complete ecological chain here.
The electric flying squirrel seems to be very familiar with the wild elves here. Every time it walks, many elves will come to say hello to it.
Those who go on the trail will also bring snacks such as nuts.
The electric flying squirrel proudly told his friends, "Today I'm going to show off my power on the battlefield!" and so on, and declined their invitation to play.
Because the little electric mouse had too much time to socialize, Xia Chen, who was originally scheduled to go to the gym to work at nine o'clock, did not enter the "business district" of Yuan Ling Island until nine thirty.
There are many more people here than Xia Chen imagined. The number of trainers coming in and out of the Elf Department Store is no less than those in the stores in Zhijiang City.
Chris Jia also said that this is already the situation after restricting abortion.
If there were no restrictions, there would probably be more people on the entire island than elves.
This is the appeal of Xia Chen, the world's top star trainer today.
…………
Yuanling Daoguan is in the center of the entire business district.
The appearance is very regular in the shape of a ring, much like the Apple headquarters building in its previous life.
It just doesn't occupy that much space, and the winding paths inside the park are also designed to be a very large elf battle battlefield.
The overall grandeur of the gym building is not inferior to those of world-famous arenas.
The usual Gym Challenge is held in a normal-sized indoor battle arena.
When Xia Chen arrived, Krisja, the acting curator, was already accepting challenges from visitors.
There were a lot of people watching around, and Xia Chen guessed that they were all gym challengers who came here because of their reputation.
Krisja used a King Swallow, not her gym-level main King Swallow, but an elite-level one.
The visiting challenger looks very young, but his strength is quite good. The rogue crocodile on the field whose attributes are obviously restrained can overwhelm King Yan.
Krisja was blowing bubble gum leisurely on the sidelines, looking very relaxed.
After all, this is just an ordinary gym challenge. If we really play it seriously, it won't be this big king swallow.
Soon, under Krisja's careless command, Wang Yan was defeated.
And it seems to be Kriska's last elf in this challenge.
Kriska kindly handed him the trophy of successful gym challenge, an exquisite ring-shaped badge.
There was sparse applause from the onlookers, mixed with many scattered thoughts.
"It's amazing. I didn't expect that the first person to challenge today would win the game."
"Damn it, it's said that that woman can only give out three badges at most a day, so the next spot will be gone."
"Yeah, you only get three for twenty gym matches a day, and sometimes you don't get any. It's really hellish..."
"Wait a minute, look, why did Miss Kristka go down?"
"Damn it! That can't be...Xia Chen!?"
But at the edge of the battlefield, Krisja was greeting the figure in the shadow behind her with an excited face.
Judging from the body shape and the identity of the person who will appear here.
This mysterious person is most likely Xia Chen!
The suspense didn't last long. Soon, the person in the shadow stepped out, and it was Xia Chen!
"Damn it! Big news!"
…………
Although it sounds a bit strange, the appearance of Xia Chen, the gym leader, in the gym is really big news.
At least this is the first time since the Yuanling Gym opened!
The excited gym challengers took out their mobile phones to record the scene and uploaded it to the Internet, and some even started a live broadcast.
Title [Yuanling Gym Challenge - Xia Chen Town!]
Although the title is simple, it quickly attracted a large number of netizens to watch.
In today's Internet, the name [Xia Chen] is absolutely top-notch.
The next gym challenger is currently in a state of excitement and nervousness.
I'm looking forward to the battle with the famous Xia Chen, but I'm also worried that I won't be able to get the gym badge.
But after struggling for two seconds, he figured it out - it didn't matter whether he had a badge or not, but being able to fight Xia Chen was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Who knows when this busy man will visit the gym next time.
The challenger bravely stood on the battlefield, looking forward to which elf he would fight with later.
Is it the cutest fairy Eevee in the world? Or the increasingly charming Menas? Or the different-colored Gardevoir coveted by countless male trainers?
Just as I was thinking about it, the referee on the sidelines had already blown the whistle.
The challenger retracted his thoughts and quickly threw the elf ball he had prepared. The white light flashed, and a sturdy water arrow turtle appeared on the battlefield.
It looks majestic and domineering, and is well-bred.
But the elf that appeared in the elf ball thrown by Xia Chen was surprising.
Small body, big tail, cute appearance...
It turned out to be an ordinary electric flying squirrel that can be seen everywhere on the roadside!
Is this the new elf that Xia Chen conquered?
While doubts arose in the hearts of the onlookers, they were also inevitably a little disappointed.
After all, they are not the celebrity elves they are familiar with, so they are naturally less interesting.
Most of Xia Chen's fans are chasing his elves. This is no joke.
But it’s normal to think about it. If the main elves were to appear in a gym challenge of this level, then no one would be able to get the Yuanling Badge from Xia Chen.
The challenger opposite Xia Chen was a little disappointed but also breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he failed to fight with those star elves, he should be able to get the Yuanling Badge smoothly when faced with an ordinary-looking electric flying squirrel.
It can be regarded as losing something and gaining something in the east.
With this in mind, the challenger issued the first command, "Blastoise, use freezing light!"
Although the opponent was an electric flying squirrel, it was Xia Chen's electric flying squirrel. The challenger showed no intention of slacking off and immediately used moves to restrain his opponent.
The Water Arrow Turtle stepped down with its short but thick short legs, and pointed the cannon barrel behind it at the Electric Flying Squirrel, and the ice-blue energy slowly gathered.
It can be seen from the speed of energy condensation that this turtle is not very good at this non-native freezing beam.
