Elf: As a champion, I just want to teach and educate people

Chapter 209 Dark Gray Gym
After arriving in Shenhui City, Li Yunyi quickly arranged accommodation for the students in his class. He chose a large hotel to ensure that the students could have a comfortable rest environment.

The hotel's decoration is simple and elegant, full of the unique charm of Deep Gray City. Led by Li Yunyi, the students checked in one by one, and everyone's face was filled with excitement and anticipation.

After making all the arrangements, Li Yunyi turned and walked towards the Dark Gray Gym.

The Dark Gray Gym is located in the heart of the city. The building is tall and majestic, exuding an inviolable majesty.

Li Yunyi's arrival attracted attention in the gym.

A trainer who looked like an apprentice walked over slowly. With a hint of arrogance and disdain in his eyes, he looked at Li Yunyi and said with a contemptuous smile: "Are you here to challenge Mr. Xiaogang? Haha, you may need to practice for another 100,000 years!"

Hearing this, the corners of Li Yunyi's mouth twitched slightly. He took a deep breath to calm his inner fluctuations. He responded calmly:

"First of all, I am not here to challenge Mr. Xiaogang, but I have an important matter to discuss with him. Secondly, I would like to remind you that light years are a unit of distance, not a unit of time. Therefore, your analogy is not appropriate."

Hearing Li Yunyi's reminder, the apprentice trainer's face darkened, obviously feeling ashamed and angry that his mistake was exposed.

He angrily picked up the Poké Ball in his hand, glared at Li Yunyi, and said in a bad tone: "Damn it! In this case, if you want to see Mr. Xiaogang, you must fight with me first!"

Facing the opponent's provocation, Li Yunyi did not retreat, but showed an unyielding fighting spirit. He glanced at the Poké Ball in the opponent's hand, and the flame of fighting flashed in Tailebagos's eyes.

So, he accepted the challenge without hesitation and said in a deep voice: "Okay! Let's get started!"

As he responded, an invisible force spread in the air.

Stepping into the dark grey gym, Li Yunyi found that there was no one else here. The air was filled with a sense of silence and solemnity, as if even time had slowed down.

The apprentice walked to one side of the field with a proud look on his face. He raised the Poké Ball in his hand and threw it hard. The Poké Ball drew a beautiful arc in the air, then landed on the ground, releasing a sturdy Sandslash.

The back of the Sandshrew is covered with hard scales, its limbs are short and powerful, and its tail is like an iron rod. Its eyes are sharp, revealing an extraordinary majesty.

"Haha, my Sandslash is no ordinary Pokémon." The apprentice said with a proud smile, "Even Mr. Xiaogang praised it highly. Do you have the confidence to defeat it?"

"Crossland King?" Li Yunyi repeated softly. He did not show too much surprise at the boy's choice.

Then he put Tailebagos down from his arms.

Tailebagos jumped lightly onto the field and confronted the Sandslash on the opposite side.

The apprentice on the opposite side looked at the petite body of Tailebagos and couldn't help but let out a scornful laugh: "Huh, just this little turtle? I must remind you that my Sandslash is a powerful Pokémon that defeated Stottle!"

His tone was full of confidence and arrogance.

However, Li Yunyi was not shaken by his words, as he knew Taile Bagos's strength very well. In this battle, Taile Bagos would surely show amazing strength and defeat his opponent.

"Water Waves."

Li Yunyi's command was concise and powerful, and those few words alone seemed to contain endless power.

Taile Bagos raised his head slightly and spit out a spiral water ball from his mouth. It was like a crystal clear gem, emitting a faint light. This was the "Water Wave" used by Li Yunyi.

Before Sandsam King could react, the water ball flew towards it at an astonishing speed. With a loud bang, Sandsam King was hit head-on by this powerful force and was instantly knocked out and hit hard against the wall of the gym.

The sudden attack caught Sandsam off guard, and the reverberation of the impact echoed throughout the gym.

"How is this possible!?" the apprentice exclaimed, his face full of shock and disbelief.

The water wave of Taile Bagos was so powerful that he had never expected such an outcome. He watched as Sandshrew was knocked out and slammed hard against the wall, and for a moment he could not accept this fact.

At this moment, he truly realized the powerful strength of Li Yunyi and the little turtle, and he also regretted his contempt and arrogance...

"As a human being, one should maintain a humble heart." Li Yunyi said lightly, his eyes revealing a deep wisdom.

He shook his head slightly, as if sighing at the apprentice's arrogance.

Since his debut, he has always adhered to his principles and never easily comes into conflict with others.

He values ​​peace and respects every opponent. Even when facing members of evil organizations, he always upholds justice and defeats them with strength.

(Lambda, Lance: Haha.)
This humble and kind attitude not only left a deep impression on people, but also made him more calm and confident in battle.

Only by being humble and kind can you go further on the road of life and truly become a powerful trainer.

Well, that's about it (sure).

"Yes... yes, I understand." The apprentice whispered, his head lowered, as if reflecting on his arrogance and recklessness.

He took a deep breath, and the frustration in his heart surged like a tide. He never thought that he would meet such a strong opponent. It was like kicking a piece of hard steel, and it hurt his heart.

Li Yunyi waved his hand gently, signaling the other party not to be too restrained. Teaching a lesson is one thing, but his purpose of coming to Deep Gray City this time was not to teach others a lesson.

He asked, "Is Gym Leader Xiaogang home now? Do you know his exact location?"

Li Yunyi came to Shenhui City this time to discuss important matters with Master Xiaogang.

About gym challenges.

The apprentice also understood Li Yunyi's intention, and he replied: "I know that Mr. Xiaogang is indeed at home now. If you need, I can help you contact him and tell you his specific location."

It can be heard that his tone has returned to normal, without the previous arrogance and pride.

Li Yunyi nodded in agreement.

Then, the apprentice walked to the landline phone in the gym, picked up the receiver carefully, and dialed a number. He said respectfully into the receiver: "Mr. Xiaogang, there is a man named..."

"Li Yunyi." "Ah... Li Yunyi's husband wants to see you."

I don't know what was said on the phone...

The apprentice was stunned for a moment, then nodded repeatedly to show that he understood. He continued to listen to the phone, his expression becoming more respectful: "Okay, I will tell Mr. Li Yunyi!"

After hanging up the phone, the apprentice walked towards Li Yunyi with an apologetic and respectful look on his face. He bowed deeply:
"Mr. Li Yunyi, I apologize for my previous rudeness. I didn't know you were a member of the Guandu Alliance. I am deeply ashamed of my ignorance."

There was a hint of panic in his voice, as if he was intimidated by Li Yunyi's unspeakable majesty.

Li Yunyi waved his hand gently, indicating that he didn't care.

Everyone has his or her own growth process, and perhaps this apprentice will become more mature and stable because of this experience.

Well, one thing more is worse than one thing less.

"It's okay. Young people always need some experience to grow." He said lightly, with a kind of forgiveness and tolerance in his voice.

His own strength and status cannot be a reason for arrogance and conceit. On the contrary, he is more willing to use his own strength to influence and help others so that more people can benefit from it.

“Okay, okay…” The apprentice’s tone became tense. He stood aside, feeling both excited and nervous.

After a while of waiting, the door of the gym finally opened slowly. Li Yunyi looked up and saw a burly young man coming out.

He was wearing a military green jacket with a "stone" pattern embroidered on the chest, looking majestic.

Xiaogang had a gentle smile on his face, and his eyes revealed a kind of intimacy and kindness. He strode towards Li Yunyi and extended his hand: "Mr. Li Yunyi, welcome to the Deep Gray Gym."

Li Yunyi gently held Xiaogang's hand, feeling the warmth and strength of his palm. He couldn't help but feel deeply moved. He didn't expect that the scene when he saw Xiaogang again would be like this.

"The young are really promising! I didn't expect that Mr. Xiaogang has been appointed as the gym leader at the age of fifteen. He is really young and promising!" Li Yunyi said with emotion, his face filled with admiration and a warm smile.

In front of him, Xiaogang was indeed considered young, but the strength and talent he displayed made Li Yunyi admire him.

Xiao Gang seemed a little restrained in front of Li Yunyi. He smiled naively and said modestly, "No, no, Mr. Li Yunyi, you were already a champion-level trainer when you were sixteen years old. I am still far behind you. I have just taken over the Deep Gray Gym not long ago, and I still have a lot to learn and improve."

At this moment, Li Yunyi felt Xiaogang's humility and sincerity, and he admired this young and promising gym leader even more.

Although Xiaogang is young, he already has the potential and qualities to become an excellent trainer. He looks forward to his students having in-depth exchanges with Xiaogang and jointly exploring higher-level Pokémon battle skills and concepts.

"So, why did Mr. Li Yunyi come to Shenhui City this time?" Xiaogang asked seriously, with great interest on his face.

Li Yunyi took a deep breath and looked at Xiaogang firmly: "The purpose of my trip is to hold a gym challenge. But please rest assured that this is not a challenge I personally want to take, but my students."

He paused for a moment and continued, "My students are young people who are passionate about Pokémon battles. They are eager to compete with gym trainers from all over the world in order to improve their own strength."

"So, I would like to ask if the gym can host my students these two days? There are eight of them in total, and we can challenge them in batches throughout the day."

After hearing this, Xiaogang's eyes flashed with surprise.

He knew very well that being challenged by Li Yunyi's students was a rare opportunity for the Deep Gray Gym. This would not only increase the gym's popularity, but also allow more people to understand and love Pokémon battles.

He immediately said: "Of course, I will arrange everything. I look forward to fighting with you and your students."

"Since Mr. Xiaogang is so generous, that's great."

A relieved smile appeared on Li Yunyi's face. He was originally worried that Xiaogang would refuse for various reasons, but now it seems that he was worrying too much.

As a gym leader, Xiaogang has rich experience and unique vision.

It will be a rare opportunity for students to receive his guidance.

Xiao Gang smiled and shook his head, and said modestly: "No, no, I should learn from the educational model of Quartz Academy. I have always been concerned about the development of Quartz Academy. Your educational philosophy and methods have a far-reaching impact on the Pokémon training world."

Li Yunyi laughed heartily: "Hahaha, I hope so. For tomorrow's battle, Mr. Xiaogang, please teach me everything you know so that my students can benefit greatly."

Xiao Gang responded firmly: "Of course, I will do my best and will not hold back. As the leader of a gym, it is my responsibility and obligation to pass on my knowledge and experience to help more people grow."

"In tomorrow's battle, I will use the most rigorous attitude and the most professional guidance to ensure that your students receive the best training and improvement."

Inside the gym, both sides' words and deeds were extremely strict, which formed a sharp contrast with the easy-going atmosphere in private.

Every word in Li Yunyi's communication with Xiaogang was carefully considered.

It can be seen that Li Yunyi sits upright, speaks gently but forcefully, and every question goes straight to the core, showing his profound knowledge and keen insight.

Xiaogang listened attentively with a respectful attitude, nodded his agreement from time to time, and occasionally put forward his own opinions, showing his humility.

"In that case, I'll take my leave first." Li Yunyi stood up and adjusted his clothes elegantly. He looked out the window and found that it was still early and not too late, so he decided to say goodbye and leave.

Seeing this, Xiao Gang also stood up and said with a smile: "Then I'll see you off."

Li Yunyi shook his head gently and declined politely: "Don't bother, Mr. Xiaogang. I'll do as I please."

However, accompanied by Xiaogang, he slowly walked out of the gym gate. At this time, the afterglow of the setting sun filled the earth, stretching the shadows of the two people.

Back at the hotel, Li Yunyi felt a rare sense of relaxation. He gently put down his luggage and lay down on the soft bed. The mattress had just the right amount of elasticity, as if a pair of gentle arms were embracing him.

He picked up his phone and scrolled through the screen, browsing the news and updates. However, fatigue seemed to creep in at this moment, making his eyelids gradually heavy. The words on the phone screen became blurred, and his thoughts gradually drifted away.
