"I've kept everyone waiting! The newly promoted expert pharmacist Amu will challenge the Rainbow Gym duel, which will begin soon. I am the commentator of this duel, Ah Hong... Sitting next to me is the commentator, who is also
Today’s host, the owner of the Rainbow Gym, is also the number one in the Quartz Alliance... no, I should say the number one aromatherapy expert in the world... Ms. Hanamaru!"
Only when Eminem was in the entrance passage did he realize that this was really "formal" and that he had even specially invited a commentator and guest commentator - the gym leader himself.
"Master Hanamaru, among the two parties in this battle, the gym trainer Rika is your daughter. What predictions do you have?" Commentator Ah Hong took the initiative to introduce the topic.
Eminem remembers that in the original work, the owner of the museum was the young Li Jia. Although Li Jia still had the character of a eldest lady, she did not explain the situation of her parents.
And in this world...it turns out to be another "second generation of the museum".
Lijia had come to see Eminem before, but this was the first time that Eminem knew about this kind of thing.
Due to his strength, Eminem did not do much "homework" before getting his sixth badge.
"First of all, this time is not a battle, it is just an assessment for the sixth badge. And Lijia is the eight-star trainer of our Rainbow Gym. When it comes to the challenge of six badges, only three Pokémon can be sent out... I am right
I don’t actually know much about Mr. Eminem’s strength as a trainer, but I guess there shouldn’t be any problem after passing the test of six badges.”
Hanamaru is Rika's mother, and her temperament is very similar to Rika's. At this time, she is completely dressed in a retro dress, which makes people feel more dignified than Rika.
At the same time, when Eminem saw Hanamaru's broadcast footage on the broadcast screen in the waiting passage, it suddenly dawned on him - no wonder he felt familiar when he saw Rika's dress and temperament just now...
The owner of Hanamaru Hall also appeared in the expert pharmacist assessment before and was a member of the review team, but Eminem didn't know her identity at the time!
However, this kind of dress and temperament naturally left an impression on Eminem. Now that I saw it again, even Eminem, who is face-blind, immediately responded.
Of course, this broadcast is only on-site broadcast - gym battles are not allowed to be recorded or broadcast.
If you want to know your opponents through gym battles, you either have to go see them in person, or you can only rely on word of mouth.
As for aromatherapy, it is considered a branch of pharmacy - herb-based pharmaceuticals are very closely related to aromatherapy!
In other words, Lijia should have a strong family background as a pharmacist...
Eminem also recalled the scene when she met Hanamaru during the expert pharmacist assessment. There was no special communication between him and her. Even when other pharmacy experts congratulated Eminem, she did not come forward.
Come, otherwise Eminem's impression will be deeper.
Moreover...she seems to be among the group of pharmacists who don't know Grandma Leixi!
This is not surprising. Most of the people who know Grandma Leixi are very old pharmacists.
Also, I don’t know if it’s Eminem’s illusion, but I always feel that despite their “similarity”, the mother and daughter seem to be opposites in nature. Hanamaru feels very strong, while Rika... is the complete opposite.
"Mr. Eminem also said that he will continue to practice as a trainer. In this aspect, he is very similar to Miss Liga... What do you think of Hanamaru Hall Master?" Ah Hong tried his best to convey the message to Hanamaru.
After all, he was the commentator invited by the gym. He thought that Hanamaru might be here to promote his daughter.
"It's not like that. Lijia is indeed very talented as a pharmacist. She has learned pharmacy and aromatherapy knowledge from me since she was a child. Three years ago... when she was twenty-one, she passed the expert level.
Pharmacist assessment.
But this is not just the difference of being three years late. As far as I know, Eminem had no contact with pharmacy at all before he was fourteen years old.
And Lijia is not considered a professional trainer. Since she can reach an expert level in pharmacy, then... she must at least shine in the rookie competition to be considered a 'trainer', right? Eight-star training
At the level of a teacher...it can only be regarded as an inconspicuous part-time job.
"Hanamaru said sternly.
Eminem was a little surprised - Grandma Leixi didn't want to be disturbed anymore and had asked Eminem not to mention her affairs, so Eminem didn't tell anyone about her experience of studying pharmacy...
How did she know that she didn't meet Grandma Rexi until she was fourteen?
"I see... Then let's invite two geniuses who are both outstanding in pharmacy!" Because Hanamaru's tone was too blunt, Hong couldn't even take it, so he could only change the topic.
"No, this duel is not because Rika is unconvinced or because they are not 'two' geniuses..." Hanamaru corrected.
Sonoko in the audience had already said: "What's going on with this woman? Except for the teaching part related to herself, she feels like she has been belittling her daughter..."
"Indeed, this feeling... is terrible." Xiaoxia was also shaking goosebumps.
Although Hanamaru also talked about his daughter's "achievements", such as becoming an expert pharmacist at the age of 21 - it's just because he didn't set the record for "youngest" and there was no extra popularity, so he is not as famous as Eminem.
―But everyone can hear the tone of her voice when she said this...
What he said was just talking about how good his teachings were and how good the environment he provided was.
Although she later decided that the reason why Lijia would compete in this gym challenge was to "make Lijia understand the difference and be convinced", Eminem had never felt that Lijia was "dissatisfied" at all before.
It is better to say that Hanamaru, while highlighting Rika's achievements under his own guidance, also wished to play the role of a good mother who cares about her daughter's physical and mental health.
…
At the same time, Qingmei, who was already on the return train, said hesitantly to Grandma Rexi: "Emine...it should be fine, right?"
"Huh? Are you worried about that kid? What's there to worry about... If you can't get the sixth badge, uukanshuwww.uukanshu.com can just be a pharmacist now." Grandma Lei Xi
Said disdainfully.
"Yeah, that's right..." Qingmei looked a little reluctant.
"Actually, you're worried about Hanamaru, right?" Grandma Rexi said with a darker expression than usual.
Qingmei's expression froze when she heard this: "Auntie..."
"Shut up! I don't remember what aunt you have." Grandma Leixi interrupted sternly.
When Qingmei saw this, she didn't dare to say anything.
Eminem had also wondered before why Qingmei didn't wait a few more days to at least watch her own gym battle before leaving. After all, Qingmei hadn't seen herself in a Pokémon battle yet.
When Eminem mentioned this matter yesterday, Sister Qingmei did hesitate for a moment, but Grandma Leixi was standing aside and directly said that she was going back, otherwise there would be no one to take care of the medicine garden...
At that time, I just thought it was Grandma Lei Xi, who was still angry about being a "trainer", so I didn't dare to say anything more.
…
Finally, with the unskilled rescue of the commentator Ah Hong, the competition... no, the "Gym Challenge" got to the point, and Eminem and Lijia walked out from the passages on both sides.
Looking at Li Jia at this time, Eminem felt it even more clearly!
Every move Lijia made must have been carefully practiced, and... she felt like she was imitating her mother.
There was also a professional referee on the court at this time - looking at his thick black beard, you can tell that he is very professional. At first glance, he is a referee from the East George family!
"Standard singles rules, three Pokémon on the gym side and six Pokémon on the challenger side. If all are eliminated or the side that admits defeat loses... please send out the starting Pokémon from both sides!"
With Dong George's announcement, the duel officially began.
Lijia sent out a "Ye Yin Bu", and what appeared on Eminem's side was a "Gengar" with scarlet eyes...
