After returning to Yuanling Island, Xia Chen's life was quite busy.
Helped the Little Broken Diamonds adapt to the new environment, took Dianxi into the daily training of the elves, and went to several companies and research institutes for inspections...
During his free time, he had to take over for Chris Jia's team and guard a few gymnasium games. It wasn't until August that he regained his leisure time again.
But when Xia Chen shifted his focus to the elves, he found that they had undergone considerable changes.
It was a surprise that Xianbu had somehow learned how to control the earth, but what Xia Chen didn't expect was that the Cangyan Blade Ghost's strength had greatly improved during this period.
In just one month, his energy intensity went from less than the gym level, which was far behind his friends, to a level close to the king level in one fell swoop.
This also means that the gap between him and the first echelon Senbu and others is getting smaller and smaller.
The rapid to unusual growth rate, Cangyan Blade Ghost's explanation for this is that he has accumulated a lot of experience.
But Xia Chen was still a little worried, so he gave him a comprehensive physical examination, and the result was that he was in good health without any abnormalities.
Considering that the elves "have their own special skills," Xia Chen no longer worries about it.
In addition, the strength of other elves has also made great progress during this time.
Taken together, Xia Chen felt that this was a gift from Xerneas before he left.
However, even though the surprises given by Xianbu and Cangyan Blade Demon were so big, they were still not the ones who had made the most progress among all the elves.
This month, the "progressive star" in Xia Chen's team turned out to be a burning insect that had been dormant for a long time.
No, maybe it should be called the Vulcan Moth now.
Yes, perhaps with the help of life energy, or perhaps due to the influence of other factors, the burning bugs completed their evolution at the end of July.
At this time, it is even more than three months away from its first birthday!
You know, this is a burning insect whose development cycle is no less than that of many quasi-gods!
Prior to this, the official record for the fastest evolution of a burning insect into a Vulcan Moth was held by its mother, Adek's ace Vulcan Moth, for two and a half years.
This is more than just a little bit better than the previous one.
Although evolving earlier does not mean that the upper limit in the future will be higher, to a certain extent, this is also a manifestation of talent.
The Vulcan Moth, which had evolved for two and a half years, was already at the championship level. Xia Chen didn't even dare to think about the upper limit of his own Vulcan Moth.
After the Burning Bug evolved, its energy intensity also broke through the elite level and reached the gym level.
It is not as good as the Blue Flame Blade Ghost, but coupled with its outstanding fire ability, it can be used as the main lineup of any gym leader without any problem.
…………
August 10th.
In a certain battlefield in the Yuanling Gym that is not open to the public, a fierce and private battle is going on.
The two elves fighting are Vulcan Moth and King Yan.
The trainers standing on both sides of the battlefield are the regular director and acting director here, Xia Chen and Chris Jia.
At this time, in the sky above the battlefield, blazing flames and swift wind blades burst out with dangerous auras, interspersed between the two elves soaring in the airspace.
Both Vulcan Moth and King Yan have the ability to fly, which makes this battle a dazzling aerial battle.
"Great King Yan, attack with wings!"
Following Kriska's sweet shout, the King Yan, which looked like a swift fighter jet, immediately spread its sharp knife-like wings, quickly turned around in the air, and suddenly rushed towards the Vulcan Moth's position.
More than a year after coming to Yuanling Island, Huo Yan, the former elite leader of the Lava Team, has not only perfectly fulfilled his duties as the chief steward of Yuanling Island, but has also made great progress in terms of his strength as a trainer.
Take her ace elf King Yan as an example. After moving to the island, not only did her body length increase by nearly half a meter, but her strength also increased from the original gym level to one that is now close to the king level.
.
I don’t know if it’s because of the good Feng Shui on Yuanling Island or because of the good food, or for some other reason.
Returning to the battlefield, Vulcan Moth responded with great composure in the face of the King Yan that was speeding towards him.
In terms of absolute speed, it is naturally far inferior to the King Swallow, which relies on its extreme speed to make a living. Therefore, the Vulcan Moth avoids its shortcomings and exploits its strengths, trying to avoid this fast and fierce swallow through small body skills.
The evolved Vulcan Moth is two meters long. Although its body looks a bit fat, in fact, its flexibility is not weak at all.
After evolving from the burning insect to the Vulcan Moth, in addition to the most intuitive improvement in various abilities, the most important point is that it grows wings and can no longer crawl around on the ground.
From crawling to flying, there are even more things you can do.
But I saw the three pairs of red wings of the Vulcan moth flapping, and the spots on them like solar flares seemed to be trembling slightly at the extremely fast wing flapping speed.
The Vulcan Moth dodged downwards quickly, barely missing the sprinting King Swallow. However, the wind roared behind him, and the King Swallow, who was clearly out of position, turned over in the air with an exaggerated "U" shape, and turned back.
Come!
Yan returns!
Yan Hui, the move name itself is named after King Yan, and no elf understands Yan Hui better than it.
In the Yanhui state, King Yan's speed was even faster than usual. Although the Vulcan Moth heard the rapid whistling of the wind behind him, it was too late to react at this time.
…………
Chi——
Amidst the tooth-piercing screeching sound, the wings of the king swallow sliced across the Vulcan Moth's body like a blade.
The translucent flying energy lingering on the wings is poured into it.
Then, another slender and deep scratch appeared on the Vulcan Moth's already scarred body.
"Kona——"
Vulcan Moth's eyebrows tightened, and a look of pain suddenly appeared on his face.
But Wang Yan, who was cutting through the sky, showed no intention of relaxing at all. The energy in his body was condensed, and he was determined to pursue victory.
The situation is not optimistic for the Vulcan Moth, and Xia Chen behind it has not yet issued orders.
In the past half month since Vulcan Moth evolved, he has fought many battles with Senbu and the others, as well as Krisja's elves, but he has only given orders at the strategic level.
Not only to cultivate its on-the-spot adaptability, but also to observe and analyze various characteristics of the Vulcan Moth.
It has many advantages, including outstanding attack power, fast move concentration, and extremely high proficiency in fire moves...
But it is not without its shortcomings, such as not being able to adapt to its newly grown pairs of wings.
To put it simply, the Vulcan Moth is not proficient enough in using its own flying ability.
In order to make up for this weakness, Xia Chen specially invited Kris Jia's Wang Yan as a sparring partner.
So far, it seems to be working well.
While I was thinking, I heard the sound of objects falling on the battlefield.
Xia Chen looked up and found that the battle was over, and the one falling to the ground was the Vulcan Moth.
It fell under the fierce attack of the divine bird that Wang Yan followed closely.
This result was not unexpected, and Xia Chen was not disappointed. He walked forward with Xianbu to help the Vulcan Moth heal.
A healing wave went on, and the Vulcan Moth slowly woke up. After being stunned for half a second, it looked at Xia Chen with some remorse.
"Kana——(I'm sorry, I lost...)"
Xia Chen smiled slightly, "There is nothing to be sorry for. Victory and defeat are commonplace in military affairs. Everyone has grown up from failure again and again, even Xianbu is like this."
Xianbu curled his lips, if he wasn't afraid of scaring you at that time, would those children also want to hurt themselves?
But seeing Xia Chen's warning look, she could only nod her head and said comfortingly: "Bu Yi - (Yes, I even cried when I lost the first battle.)"
She was talking about what happened in another timeline.
Upon hearing that even the longed-for Senbu-senpai came here like this, the guilt on Vulcan Moth's face finally disappeared.
"The important thing is to learn from failure."
Xia Chen lectured the chicken soup, which was no different from nonsense, "When you can completely understand the reason for the defeat in this battle and find a way to deal with it, it will be easy for you, little Wang Yan."
Chris Jia came over and expressed her dissatisfaction, "Hey, I came here specially to help you with your sparring, and you're going to arrange me like this?"
Xia Chen then remembered that the person involved was still here, and immediately apologized.
"But it's progressing really quickly."
Chris Jia also lamented: "Every time it fights against King Yan, the speed of progress can be seen with the naked eye."
"Hiss!"
Wang Yan straightened his feathers that were a little messy due to the battle, and agreed with the trainer's words.
The gloom on Vulcan Moth's face gradually disappeared under the comfort of everyone.
For this kind of elf who is still in the growth stage, self-confidence is more powerful than anything else in consolidating the belief in fighting.
Seeing that Vulcan Moth finally recovered, Xia Chen clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Okay, let's review the game just now!"
"Kona!"
Vulcan Moth nodded excitedly.
…………
It's not just the Vulcan Moth who needs to gain combat experience, there's also Dianxi, who only started to fight against elves two months ago.
Compared to Vulcan Moth, her temperament is softer, which makes her progress much faster.
But there is nothing that can be done about it. With such a personality, Xia Chen can't train a soft and fufu princess into a tomboy just for the sake of fighting.
He's not that crazy.
So the battle strategy he formulated for Diancie was more defensive and counterattack——
Diancie, who has extremely high double defense, has the capital to use this tactic.
It just so happens that the overall style of the team is somewhat biased towards strong offense and weak defense.
After spending half a month in peace, Xia Chen received a message from the alliance, Donghuang Alliance.
This is a bit strange. The contact between Xia Chen and the Donghuang Alliance can be said to be very few.
The person who contacted him this time was Jiang Zheng, the vice-president of the alliance, who had also served as the Four Heavenly Kings of Donghuang. The purpose of contacting him this time was about the Donghuang Conference.
He wanted Xia Chen to think of a way to transform the conference venue into one that could become Gigantamax.
Since the advent of Dynamax, many more people have traveled to Galar, and the ratings of the tournament held there have increased dramatically.
The reason is very simple, the game of Dynamax is really beautiful.
It’s not that the audience is tired of watching super evolution and super crystallization. The main reason is that the moves of two behemoths tens of meters high are often exchanged. The scene alone makes people’s hearts surge.
The most important thing is that the game in Galar can combine the appearance of three types of specialized spirits, while other areas only have two types, and there are no conditions for Dynamaxing in other places.
And Jiang Zheng’s intention is also very direct. If the Donghuang Conference supports Dynamax, the attention and popularity will definitely surpass competitions in other regions.
Whether it is for regional development or external attraction, it has been greatly improved.
I don’t know if Jiang Zheng has done his homework or if it’s just a mistake, but Xia Chen happens to be a professional counterpart in this regard.
Dynamaxing requires the support of the Galar particles emitted by Wujitai, and as for who in the world today can invite Wujitai to the Donghuang area, there should be no other person besides Xia Chen.
Xia Chen's main theme is patriotism...no, love for the region.
He immediately agreed to Jiang Zheng's request without any conditions.
For him, this also makes the competition he is participating in more interesting.
Xia Chen, who accepted this request, took the Gulledon to Galar the next day.
The Galar region is so vast that no matter how big the head is, it will be difficult to find it.
Fortunately, when Wujitina was released, monitoring and positioning were installed on it.
After asking Dr. Mulan, he found Wujitana on a mountain in the north of Galar.
This big guy also did not refuse Xia Chen's request and readily agreed to visit the Donghuang area during that time.
After reaching an agreement, Xia Chen returned to Donghuang and told Jiang Zheng the news.
The vice president of the Donghuang Alliance was very happy and announced the news on social media that day.
This news sent shock waves, and as expected, the number of applicants for the conference increased.
For trainers who have not traveled to Galar for a short time, attending the Donghuang Conference is the best time to experience Dynamax.
Even many people from the Donghuang area, Kandu, and Fengyuan plan to participate in this Donghuang Conference.
At this time, there are still more than two months before the start of the conference in November. If you are traveling like a special forces soldier, it will not be difficult to collect eight gym badges.
And this just reminded Xia Chen that he had to start collecting gym badges.
…………
Counting his own Yuanling badges, Xia Chen currently only has three badges in his hand.
The other two are the Qianlong Badge that I challenged two years ago, and the Yunze Badge, my neighbor on Yunze Lake.
This is all a by-product of winning a battle between friends, and it can also be regarded as a souvenir.
So he is still five coins away from the eight coins required for registration.
If necessary, it wouldn't be a problem for him to rush to different cities and win five badges in one day.
However, Xia Chen did not intend to do this. He decided to take the most traditional way - traveling and challenging the gym at the same time.
After traveling to famous mountains and rivers in other areas, Xia Chen had not taken a good look at the scenery in his own area.
So, on September 1st, after Xia Chen took care of things at home, he set off again from Yunze Lake in the autumn on Menas.
Zhijiang is located in the southeastern area of the Donghuang coast, so Xia Chen's traveling direction is naturally all the way to the west.
The first stop is Huaijing City, another big city located more than 200 kilometers west of Zhijiang City.
