Chapter One Hundred and Ninety-Eighth: Old Ji Fuyu
The ranch uncle who got the Shenglong Badge went down all the way and soon came to the seventh city——
Platycodon City.
With a clear goal, he chose to challenge the gym without hesitation.
As a trainer of the younger generation, Asu, who inherited the gym from his father, has proven his excellence, but there is still a certain gap between him and the old Jianghu that the ranch uncle once fought against.
So even if it is the strength of the seventh badge, the ranch uncle who has matured his fighting skills after three special trainings and has the three-character mantra passed it in one go.
This was quite embarrassing for Azoo, who claimed before the battle that electric attacks were nothing to flying Pokémon.
[You defeated Platycodon Gym Leader Asu and obtained the Flying Wings Badge]
[You learned from Asu that his father was traveling abroad and left the gym under his care, and you couldn't help but feel a little envious]
envious……
What are you envious of? Your daughter is not old enough to inherit your ranch?
I also said earlier that we should let the ranch girls pursue their dreams!
Kashiwagi looked at the screen speechlessly, and with a quiet background music, the ranch uncle came to the last town in his target-Huipi Town.
The gym leader of the Hinopi Gym is Abi, who looks male and female, and is also the youngest among many gym leaders. He has done a lot of research on insect-type Pokémon and is determined to become a Pokémon Doctor.
Even the move [Continuous Slash] was discovered and named by him.
In the gym battle, Abi's Giant Claw Mantis fully demonstrated the strength of eight badges, and the sword dance he used could actually form a protective circle to resist long-range fire attacks.
"Can you block the flames by turning in circles? Is it true?"
Kashiwagi was a little skeptical, feeling that there might be a deeper skill hidden in it.
The kind that resembles a return punch protective shield.
If Big Steel Snake and Big Mouth Boy learn it, these two might be able to carry it forward at a critical moment... Can Abi teach him if he goes to Huipi Town to study?
Kashiwagi lowered his head and thought.
within the light screen.
Seeing that long-range flames were ineffective, the ranch uncle quickly changed his tactics and switched to using melee-type flame moves. He also used [Hold On] at the critical moment, allowing the flame horse's flame charge to break through the giant pincer mantis's attack.
defense.
In the end, we successfully captured the Hinoki Pi Gym.
[You defeated Huipi Gym Leader A Bi and obtained the Insect Badge]
The thirty-seven-year-old veteran successfully qualified to participate in the conference. Overflowing with joy, the ranch uncle immediately informed his wife and daughter who were far away on the ranch of the good news via video call.
Then he rushed home without stopping.
When he arrived, he found that the news that he was about to participate in the Silver Conference had spread throughout the town. Almost all the townspeople came to celebrate him and wish him good results. They would come to watch the event and so on.
.
This made the ranch uncle very embarrassed and felt deep pressure.
Originally it was just to prevent my daughter from being unable to hold her head up in school and to fulfill her youthful dreams. Unexpectedly, things turned out to be a bit complicated.
Seeing the expectant look in the ranch girl's eyes, the ranch uncle couldn't say that entering the qualifiers was a victory.
Think about it.
He ran to Zhanlan City and asked Ah Si for help.
Thus, the fourth special training session officially began.
Being so diligent and dedicated in special training is extremely rare in Kashiwagi's past simulations. Perhaps he realizes that his talent and combat experience are not enough to compare with those young people who are working hard.
The ranch uncle chose not to have enough talent, so he worked hard to make up for it.
But the point worth complaining about is that although it is a special training for Pokémon, as a trainer, the rancher is getting stronger and stronger.
In the past, he could only rely on big blows to slap Kentero down, but now he could grab Kentero's two horns and push him back step by step, fully demonstrating the feat of losing to two legs with four legs.
At the same time, riding on the flaming horse, he became more and more like an ancient military commander.
If you give him a pair of armor and a Fangtian painted halberd, he may be able to kill Lu Bu, but not necessarily.
When the long-haired pig evolved into an ivory pig, and when the rancher rode on it, he felt as if barbarians had invaded the civilized world in a Western fantasy.
He also had an arm wrestling match with the two-tailed monster. The two-tailed monster used two tails, while he used one hand.
Simply terrible.
Kashiwagi wanted to rush in and remind the opponent that trainers were not allowed to fight!
——
The special training lasted until a few days before the Silver Conference.
The ranch uncle thinks he has done his best, and if he still doesn't get good results, then there is nothing to say.
The talent of a breeder allows his Pokémon to have a healthy and strong body, and the hard work of a trainer allows Pokémon such as Blaze to have sufficient combat experience.
There is also the [Three-Word Mantra]. In fact, this thing seems to be fantasy, but it is actually a manifestation of bondage.
Success or failure depends on this.
Not long after.
The screen flashed to the day of the Silver Conference.
As promised, the townspeople came to watch the ranch uncle's game.
The ranch uncle was still under a lot of pressure at first. He felt that the people around him were all young people in their teens. He, a middle-aged man, stood out here.
But soon he discovered that there were actually many players around his age.
[You find that you are not the only veteran participating in the conference, which makes you feel greatly relaxed]
After regaining his confidence, the ranch man was finally able to smile and wave to the ranch girls in the audience, and also ushered in his first game.
However.
The battle went surprisingly smoothly.
The ranch uncle had successfully defeated his opponent before he even had time to use his three-letter mantra.
The same was true in the second game. He defeated his opponent in five minutes and successfully broke through.
The rancher uncle became more and more confident as he fought, but he was not overly arrogant or complacent. As a middle-aged man, he knew very well that among the strongest, there would always be a stronger one. Every mountain was higher than the next. His Pokémon had also won many times in horizontal comparisons with similar species.
The crown of Pokémon lies in its humility and hard work.
As expected, as soon as he broke through the qualifying rounds, the ranch uncle met a powerful young trainer.
The opponent's excellent qualities put the ranch uncle into a tough fight, and the ranch girls in the audience were also worried, with punctuation marks symbolizing worry often jumping on their foreheads.
Fortunately, the three-character mantra worked.
The opponents were indeed strong, but they underestimated the tenacity of the veterans.
Most of Uncle Rancher's Pokémon are already old, and they are not the ones with particularly long lifespans and whose body structure can not decay with time. This conference may be the last stage for them to show their glory and warmth.
They don't want to and don't want to just leave.
The ranch uncle’s dream was never just his dream, it was also the dream of the Blazing Horses.
When they embarked on a journey when they were young, the Pokémon who accompanied their trainers didn't have their own considerations. When they got closer and resonated with their souls during the battle, they didn't begin to yearn for the Alliance Conference.
The old man is brave and ambitious, but his ambition is thousands of miles.
The ranch uncle led his old guys, their strong will turned into firm determination, and they headed higher step by step.
The top sixty-four, the top thirty-two, the top sixteen, the top eight...
Decisive tournament!
Finally came to the end.
The ranch uncle himself can't believe that he can reach this point, which symbolizes that his villain is restless.
Kashiwagi outside the screen was in a relatively calm mood due to the background music. Of course, he was also curious about the ending point of the ranch uncle...the championship winner?
This depends on whether any group of dark horses suddenly breaks out.
