Chapter 57 If you can't beat it, just hang up, right?
Gym competitions in this world are different from those in the game.
In addition to those trainers traveling around the world, a large number of those who challenge gyms are new trainers who have just traveled.
It is very difficult for a new trainer with only a few days of training experience to defeat the gym leader and win a badge.
Therefore, in order to allow trainers to experience the growth process, major leagues have specially formulated such a rule:
The gym leader needs to adjust the Pokémon he plays based on the specific situation of the challenger, and will not use his full strength against new trainers.
However, it doesn't mean that you have to defeat them in order to get the badge, but more importantly, get their approval.
According to the challenge rules of Chenghua Gym, you need to defeat three gym apprentices before you can qualify to challenge Qianli.
As soon as Hu Yang entered the door, the man with the red headband who had a fight with him last time recognized him.
"It's you, are you coming here to challenge the gym?"
Hu Yang nodded.
When a challenger came to the door, a group of gym apprentices immediately came to greet him.
It's still the same battleground that looks like a training room, and the opponents haven't changed either.
The red headband clenched his fists and said with high spirits: "I won't let you win the game so smoothly this time! Go ahead, my partner, and go straight to the bear!"
Hu Yang said: "Yaya, I leave it to you!"
The referee next to the field held up the flag: "In this battle, each person can only use one elf. If any elf loses its fighting ability, the game is over!"
As a whistle sounded, the redhead immediately gave the order: "Go straight to the bear and use the headbutt!"
The headbutt attack follows a straight path, and there is no way to change direction midway.
Seeing this, Hu Yang quickly said: "Ya Ya, avoid to the left!"
The last time he came here, he discovered that the strength of these gym apprentices ranged from novice trainers to junior trainers, far from reaching the level of elite trainers.
It's enough to deal with them with teeth.
After more than two months of special training, Yaya has also mastered certain combat skills.
Compared with before, its speed and strength have also been improved, and several of the moves it knows have been practiced to a proficient level.
Seeing that Yaya had successfully avoided the bear's headbutt, Hu Yang quickly issued a pursuit command: "Wrath of the Dragon!"
The purple shock wave condensed into shape instantly, swallowing up the charging bear before it could turn around.
Driven by the impact, the bear's body fell to the ground and rolled twice.
What a... What a quick command!
The red headband was slightly startled and shouted at the same time: "Go straight to the bear, hold on!"
Hu Yang said calmly: "Ya Ya, the last blow, two consecutive blows."
"Tooth!"
Yaya responded, with fighting spirit igniting in his eyes.
Its speed and strength have been slightly improved in this battle.
Because the charging bear is male, the fighting spirit of this tooth is vividly triggered here.
The increase in speed and strength directly affects the power of the elf's moves.
Yaya's body suddenly accelerated, and then jumped high into the air. The extremely hard polished teeth lit up with a rich light at this moment.
Then, at the moment when the bear just finished getting up, it struck straight down.
"Woo..."
The bear let out a painful cry and fell to the ground, losing the ability to fight.
"So... so strong!" The other gym apprentices who were watching looked at this scene blankly.
There are very few trainers who come to challenge the gym in winter, so they still have an impression of Populus euphratica.
A young man frowned calmly: "Their cooperation is so perfect. This kind of strength has probably reached the level of a junior trainer..."
"Thank you for your hard work, Straight Bear." Red Headband put the Straight Bear into the elf ball and said to it.
"Well done!" Hu Yang knelt down and gave Yaya a high-five.
From this point of view, the characteristic of fighting spirit does not seem to be as useless as in the game...
However, the characteristic of the charging bear is to pick up, which does not have much effect on the battle.
While thinking, the second gym apprentice also stood on the opposite side of the field.
Populus euphratica has no plans to change its elves.
Ya Ya continues to play.
This time the opponent is a girl wearing a white karate uniform.
Her elf is a small and cute Eevee.
Hu Yang took a look and found that the characteristic of the Eevee was to escape.
"Ibrahimovic, use lightning flash!" the girl ordered.
Hu Yang: "..." If you want to win, shouldn't you first use round pupils to reduce Yaya's attack?
Do these kids know how to play elf battle?
But these gym apprentices are different from those in the game.
Most of the gym apprentices are new trainers who pay fees to practice in the gym, and the gym owner provides them with guidance.
After becoming stronger, some will choose to participate in the gym leader selection competition and take over as the gym leader, while others will embark on a journey to participate in the alliance competition.
Facing the immature girl, Hu Yang directly and mercilessly took her away with three combinations of bite + two consecutive slashes + dragon's fury.
The third gym apprentice is a boy wearing round glasses.
His elf is a nice-looking... jackrabbit.
When the battle started, the boy said: "Jackrabbit, use round pupils!"
Very good, I know more fun than that girl.
A faint light lit up in the long-eared rabbit's eyes.
Yaya suddenly felt a sense of emptiness and weakness in his body.
Its power has been reduced!
Hu Yang took a look at the characteristics on the opposite side.
Charming body.
"Ya Ya, don't touch its body, use Dragon's Wrath!"
Dragon's Wrath has fixed damage and will not be affected by attack reduction.
"Ya Ya!" Ya Ya cheered up.
The boy watched the first two battles, so he saw the scene where Yaya used Dragon's Fury.
Seeing this, he said directly: "Long-eared rabbit, don't get hit, use bounce!"
The long-eared rabbit's waist that looked like a human woman suddenly exerted force, and its body immediately jumped high.
The dragon's wrath missed and passed directly under its feet.
Immediately afterwards, the long-eared rabbit jumped into the air and stretched out its legs to make a flying kick, flying towards Yaya.
That is, the second stage of the bounce, attacking the opponent from the air.
"Ya Ya, get out of the way!"
Although Populus euphratica had made predictions in advance.
But, it’s too fast!
The opponent's speed is too fast!
Yaya had no time to escape.
Rabbit's flying kick hit accurately, and Yaya's body flew backwards.
Although this move did not make Yaya lose his fighting ability.
But after coming into contact with the body of the jackrabbit, Yaya was also affected by the charming body.
With a charming body, opponents who come into contact with it will become fascinated and find it difficult to use moves.
Misfortune never comes alone.
That long-eared rabbit is female, and Yaya's characteristic fighting spirit cannot be triggered at all when facing a female.
"Ya Ya, wake up!" Looking at Ya Ya's eyes, Hu Yang could only try to imitate Xiao Zhi and use the trainer's bond to wake him up.
The effect of the fighting spirit is still too overwhelming.
Originally, he thought this feature could be used in real battles...
At this moment, Populus euphratica desperately wanted to change Yaya's characteristics into something special.
The moment this idea popped up, with the sound of "Click!", the Poké Ball in his pocket opened automatically.
The figure of the ancient moon bird emerged from the white light.
"Gah?"
Its eyes were fixed on the teeth on the field.
He still looked as stupid as ever, but at this moment, there was an incomprehensible light in it.
"Jackrabbit, let's end the battle!" The boy with glasses adjusted his glasses frame, preparing to deliver a fatal blow.
But at this moment, a white light lit up on Yaya in the venue.
Is that...evolution?
The boy with glasses said quickly: "Jackrabbit, stop it!"
Hu Yang was also stunned. Before he could understand why Gu Yuenniao suddenly ran out on his own, he saw a white light shining on Yaya on the field.
evolution?
After a while, the light dissipated, and Yaya had regained consciousness. Except for its eyes, nothing else changed.
No, not evolution.
The information about Yaya appeared in Hu Yang's mind.
[Race: Yaya♂]
Attribute: dragon
Features: Unconventional
The following is omitted.
…
Characteristics have changed.
From a fighting spirit to an exception.
Populus euphratica:???
If it wasn't modified by him, then it can only be...
A flash of light suddenly flashed in Populus euphratica's mind, and he looked at the ancient moon bird next to him with his head hanging down in disbelief, preening his feathers as if there was no one around him.
Could it be that the three modifier templates he lost were on Ancient Moon Bird?!
But now is obviously not the time to explore this.
Hu Yang looked nervously at Yaya on the field and asked, "Yaya, can you understand what I'm saying?"
"Ya Ya?" Ya Ya recovered from her doubts and turned to look in his direction.
Hu Yang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, the boy with the opposite eye looked at Yaya on the field, then looked at Populus euphratica, and asked: "Has it failed to evolve?"
Hu Yang: "..."
From the corner of his eye, he noticed that the other gym apprentices were looking at him, and he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
