However, looking at the urbanized area, it should be classified as a "town" type.
Even many of the houses are built on trees, which is quite original.
There are wooden platforms built high above the trees, and wooden stairs are used to connect the upper and lower platforms.
"It is said that Yinyu City is also the town with the longest longevity in the Fangyuan region..."
Shota, who had just joined the team, gave some tips to a few people.
If we say the biggest feature of the Johto area is the quaint buildings that can be seen everywhere...
Well, in the Fangyuan area, in addition to the beaches and oceans that can be seen everywhere, there is also a very high vegetation coverage rate.
"Because it rains often here, the trees and plants in this town also grow extremely lush."
Xiaozhi and the others looked around. The trees here were indeed 1/2 taller than the trees in other places.
Seeing that it was still early, a few people replenished their health at the Elf Center before heading to the Yinyu Gym without stopping.
"Yinyu Gym is a flying gym, so Xiaozhi, do you want to use this Pikachu to fight?"
Along the way, Shota asked expectantly.
This foreign electric mouse on Xiaozhi's shoulder shouldn't look like a pet that simply decorates a vase, right?
"No, Pikachu is a general in the raiding formation and will not take action easily."
Xiaozhi waved his hand and explained.
"Pica, Pica~!"
Pikachu jumped directly onto Shota's head, and the old god nodded along.
It's just a gym battle, there's no need for it to take action!
But Xiaozhi did think of something. If it was a gym with flying attributes, he could let that guy give it a try...
...
Soon, several people arrived at Yinyu Gym.
This gym is a bit different from what Xiaozhi has seen before, especially when placed among the surrounding trees and jungles, it seems particularly abrupt.
This is a huge building that resembles a square pyramid. The surface walls are made of silver-white stone. It is a magnificent building about a hundred meters high.
In the very center, in addition to a door leading to the interior of the building... there is also a sloping stone step platform built on the surface of the wall, which can lead directly to the rooftop from the outside.
On both sides stand statues of flying Pokémon such as Armored Bird and Tanabata Blue Bird.
"So impressive..."
"Enough to be wealthy..."
Several people took a breath and were shocked by the magnificent architecture of Yinyu Gym.
Even Shota, a local, saw it for the first time and stared straight at the highest point.
It seems that the stage for the battle is the open-air rooftop at the top... This is in line with the style of a flying attribute gym.
Without hesitation, several people immediately climbed up the stairs and headed towards the highest point.
...
call...!
By the time a few people were about to reach the end of the stairs, the airflow at high altitudes was already very strong.
"Well, it's better not to look back..."
It was so tall that Shota didn't even dare to look back at the steps behind it.
After fully climbing onto this high building platform, we saw that there was a spacious training battlefield at the top, with no walls around it.
Where the trainer is standing, there is a high platform of more than 20 meters standing on the ground.
It seems that they feel that the height of this building is not enough, and it needs to be higher?
"Don't be careless..."
Xiaozhi's expression darkened and he looked around.
Even in flying and air combat, there are differences.
Air combat within 100 meters and air combat 100 meters away are completely different concepts.
This altitude will make Pokémon that are originally good at flying become unsuitable for flying... and the strong airflow at high altitudes can sometimes be even more dangerous than the opponent's attacks!
"Are you the challengers?"
At this moment, a female voice suddenly came from the side of the rooftop of the building.
Everyone looked closely and saw a tall and slender woman.
Wearing light blue long sleeves and white slim-fitting trousers, she fully showed off her slender figure.
She has long lavender hair, tied into a ponytail and hanging down naturally on the back of her head.
With a gentle and pretty face and a soft hat with feathers like wings on her head, she has an airy and refined beauty.
"I am the leader of Yinyu Gym, Naqi!"
"Xiaosheng is Xiaogang from Nibi City~!"
However, Xiaogang had already pushed Xiaozhi away and rushed forward to show his courtesy.
Shota: "?"
He looked at Xiaozhi and Xiaolan in confusion.
Why did this black brother behave like a prodigal and frivolous?
"hehe..."
"Don't worry..."
Xiaozhi and Xiaolan smiled awkwardly.
Xiaogang's image as a senior person was gone in the blink of an eye.
And Xiaozhi quickly pulled Xiaogang back and looked directly at the gentle woman in front of him.
"I am Xiaozhi from Zhenxin Town, and I want to challenge Yinyu Gym!"
"Then I accept the challenge."
Naqi agreed immediately, surprisingly simple and rude.
Then he turned around and slowly climbed onto the high platform at one end of the training ground.
The high-altitude air currents passed by, blowing Naqi's long purple hair, which made Xiaogang below almost howl like a wolf.
"I won't admit defeat either...!"
Seeing this, Xiaozhi naturally quickly climbed to the high platform on the other side and faced Na Qi from afar.
After a while, another woman with long hair came out and stood on the central arena below the two of them.
"Then the Gym Challenge with the White Feather Badge as the bet starts now!"
These words made Shota, who was watching the game next to him, tremble. He quickly looked at the arena, not intending to miss any details, and the paper and pen in his hand were already ready to go.
"Right!"
Thinking of something, Shota suddenly threw out three of his Pokémon balls... These were all the Pokémon he had conquered so far.
Bang!
The next moment, the wood gecko appeared again, holding a branch to its mouth and coldly crossing its chest.
It admits that Xiaozhi's forest lizard moves are cool...but it's already his.
As for the other two.
One is a light blue upright little beast with a rather irritable expression and a white hard shell on its head.
The other is a brown sloth monkey, lying lazily on the ground.
Baby dragon and lazy man.
At this moment, Xiaozhi's mind was completely focused on Naqi opposite him, but Xiaogang and Xiaolan, who were closest to him, were speechless.
"Uh, outrageous..."
"Is this the configuration of the newcomers now?"
A Yusanjia, a quasi-god cub, a monster cub...
That's too much. The first three others usually have are Yusanjia, Snake Bear, Proud Swallow, Spinytail, etc...!
"Everyone should concentrate on watching Xiaozhi's battle!"
Shota took his three Pokémon to the edge and entered a state of secret observation...
...
"Then the challenge rule of Yinyu Gym is 4v4..."
The referee below introduced the rules, which actually made Xiaozhi blink.
It turned out to be a rare 4v4... It seems that the gyms in the eastern half are really going to be more difficult.
