Chapter 337: Larus City and the Underworld
The Fengyuan region is located in the southwest of Chengdu. It is close to the South Country and has a warm and humid climate with a variety of terrains from tropical rainforests to deserts.
A large number of forests surround the continent, and two volcanoes stand on the north and south sides respectively. Coupled with too many waterways and the resulting humidity, the living environment in many cities on this continent is relatively poor.
At the same time, the collision of the power of two super-ancient creatures sleeping in this land also makes Fengyuan's climate changeable, with more sunshine on the northwest side and more rainfall on the southeast side.
Despite this, the rich terrain has also created many wonders and different cultures, so this place has always been considered "a place where rich fate gathers."
It's rare to come to Fengyuan once. Zhouyou actually wants to go to the Faenzi area in the movie version. If the two worlds have such a weak connection, the prototype close to Wulingyuan may encounter creatures such as pandas... If you can't rua in reality, can you still rua in the Pokémon world?
Faenzi is southwest of Chimney Mountain and due north of Fuyan Town. You can go there when you travel to Fengyuan next year.
But now it is clear that the doubles match is slightly more important.
The Cheer Cup Doubles Battle Tournament... Don't get me wrong, the cheer here refers to the "Cheer Pokémon", that is, the positively charged Papa and the negatively charged Papa, a pair of electric mice (rabbits?) that are local specialties. Their cute appearance and the figures of going out in pairs make them the mascots of the doubles tournament in the Hoenn region.
The venue of the conference is located in a modern city called Larus City on an island southwest of Shuijing City. Pokémon battles have set off a craze here, and it is the venue for most large-scale battle tournaments. In particular, the battle tower located in the south of the island has just been completed in the past two years and has caused a lot of discussion and heat among trainers in the Hoenn region.
There is also a similar battle tower in the battle development area of Yashida, but it is hard to say who copied whom.
"We can often come to Larus's battle tower to practice in the future."
The next morning, after crossing the sea on Reshiram and arriving at the sky above Larus City, he changed to Charizard and landed. I always feel that the black and white dragon is more and more inclined to be used as a means of transportation by him.
Zhou You, who had just landed on the island, received an ID card issued to temporary citizens, which can be used to recharge yuan or store battle points. The points can be used to purchase most goods in this modern city. Even when the battle points reach a certain level, you can become a citizen of Larus City on the spot without any procedures.
Unlike Kanto or Johto, this city often gathers most of the trainers in the Hoenn region. There are more than a dozen battle venues of all sizes. It is very convenient to make an appointment with others. I heard that a very novel smart matching and appointment system has been launched recently.
Even many senior trainers who have won places in the conference and even gym trainers are here - battle points can really be used as money. A starter Pokémon that has evolved to its final form has almost become the threshold for participating in the battle here. For a battle-crazed player like Zhou You who is too lazy to fight with ordinary trainers, this is a rare good place.
What surprised Zhou You even more was that the top-level gorgeous master, the gym owner of Liuli City, Mikoli, also participated in this doubles match, and his teammate was the gym owner of Inyu Gym, Naqi. Most of the other gym owners also signed up with their own gym trainers... It can be regarded as the alliance's disguised support for the doubles competition.
The only thing that gave him a headache was that the league's regulations on trainers were implemented here first. All Poké Balls needed to be connected to the Poké Ball Management System. Without permission, many types of Pokémons could not be released in most public areas.
This restriction is natural for this city built on modern technology. Otherwise, if an accident occurs, it may cause the entire city to lose control and paralyze, or even cause casualties.
Just like in the movie version.
Strictly abiding by local rules is the prerequisite for being allowed to get involved here. Once the safety management regulations are violated, it is obvious that the consequences will range from fines and expulsion to the revocation of the trainer certificate and imprisonment.
Zhou You's Charizard, Windy Dog, and Reshiram are undoubtedly over the limit.
After entering the city, the three Poké Balls connected to the Poké Ball Management System were automatically locked.
Although he didn't care much about this, it was still a bit annoying not being able to walk the dog...
Perhaps it would be a good idea to vent its energy in the battle tower.
So after meeting up with Lila, he took the opportunity to invite her: "Lila, the first round of the game will be in the afternoon. Do you want to play ranked games in the battle tower for a morning?"
The purple-haired girl was originally subconsciously planning to agree, but she quickly reacted: "The game is at 1 pm. How can you let the Pokémon perform smoothly if you play ranked games for a morning?"
The trainers here are not like the kind that can be hit by throwing a stone in the bush. Each of them is basically a senior trainer with a few badges as a foundation, and there are even elite trainers and gym owners in the alliance. It is not a good idea to use them to practice before the game.
Zhou You: "?"
Wouldn't it be just right to play in the morning to get into the state of excitement and burst in the afternoon?
Oh, ordinary people do have to consider the problems of physical strength, energy and injuries.
Especially for the superpowered elves that Lila is good at, if she overuses her brain, she may not be in good condition in the subsequent battles.
This touched his blind spot.
"Okay, then you should take good care of yourself. I'll try it out as I'm new here. We'll meet in the lounge before the afternoon game."
Under Lila's complex eyes that were obviously full of doubt, Zhou You went to the battle tower on his own.
...
Perhaps he should really listen to Lila's advice.
Half an hour later, looking at the opponent assigned to him by the ranking system - Liuli City Gym Master Mikoli, Zhou You's head was full of question marks.
What kind of underworld matching system is this.jpg
"Is he strong? Haven't we already beaten many gym masters?" As a small Pokémon without restrictions, Eden noticed the other party's complex emotions.
"Most gym leaders are stronger than rookie trainers. They will give up when facing challengers with insufficient badges to achieve the purpose of the assessment. Of course, we are indeed stronger than most gym leaders like Ma Zhishi."
Zhou You put down the phone showing the matching results, and after thinking for a moment, he explained seriously: "But Mikoli is different from ordinary gym leaders. He is a top-level gorgeous master. The gorgeous competition is different from the first impression of the public. In fact, after entering the door, there are very deep requirements for the all-round strength of the Pokémon."
"The gorgeousness of the moves means the degree of control over the moves and energy. The beauty of the body also reveals the daily nutritional combination and reasonable exercise. The tacit cooperation between people and Pokémon is the key factor in the battle. Those amazing and wonderful moves also demonstrate the thinking level of both parties."
"Therefore, in fact, being able to become such a top coordinated trainer who is popular in Hoenn, Mikoli may have the strength close to the Four Heavenly Kings or even the champion?"
One less... No need to wait in the second half of the night.
