Divine Plan? But I'm a Pokémon trainer.

Chapter 174 This child...maybe he can be used as a child laborer

Although it took longer than expected, half of the gyms in the Hoenn region were finally opened. Together with the 4 in the Kanto region, there are now 8 gyms in total, unlocking all the badges of the original Divine Plan.

The remaining Normal, Flying, Psychic, and Water Gyms are located on the east and west sides of Hoenn respectively. With only one week left until the Grand Tournament in Shuijing City, it would be difficult to travel there relying solely on Windy Hound or Surf.

Therefore, after leaving the gym, Link immediately rode his fish to Green Shade Town, which would take two or three days to reach by land. After booking a boat ticket in advance, he rode his windhound along the Green Tunnel through the mountains and arrived at Kanaz City where Azalea was.

Then he headed south, flew over the Chenghua Forest from the air, and arrived at Chenghua City where Master Qianli was located at an astonishing speed.

The suburbs extend to the coast, and the sea breeze gently blows through the city where people communicate with nature.

※But considering that writing about two battles in a row would be a bit watery, I am hesitant whether to write about this gym battle.

"It's so tiring to get here in less than two days. It would be great if there were a company like Dragon Taxi..."

This morning, Link and the Pokémons who had scheduled a gym challenge had not yet recovered from last week's vacation and were resting lazily in the Pokémon Center.

The elves had a comprehensive physical examination after a long absence and are currently waiting for the results.

Came to Hoenn to collect the last few badges. These days, Snorlax has made his own little hammer under the guidance of the Giant Forge, and the Sprout Adventure Team has also successfully challenged an incredible maze and discovered some treasures that are not of high value but very memorable.

In the battle frontier area, the AI algorithm has been constantly iterating with the enthusiastic assistance of Manchong, a battle party. So far, only a few people have successfully passed the level and challenged Link.

But it's just a challenge at most. Other trainers still have a lot to learn in terms of team formation and joint defense.

Pokémon cards are booming, and the most basic 151 packs have been released simultaneously in friendly stores in Kanto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh regions. Link just bought a skinny pack nearby.

7 draws and 1 flat flash, his luck in drawing cards seems to be a bit mediocre.

The rarity of Pokémon cards is not divided into various categories like in PTCG, but is based on the rarity of Yu-Gi-Oh and Magic: The Gathering.

C/UC/R/MR (common/uncommon/rare/mythic rare) constitute the four most basic rarities. Above these, there are only foil, gold stamping, broken foil, different painting, enlarged painting, and artist signature...

As for the lean packs, fat packs and what can be opened in each box, these are things that the publisher has to consider. Link is only responsible for some card designs, providing update ideas, and getting share of the profits.

And judging by how popular the Friendly Shop was when he had just restocked his supplies, Pokémon cards seemed to be more popular with kids than expected.

Isn’t this a kind of “insect catching boy”?

Just when Link was wondering whether he should urge Ashida to hold the Pokémon League Conference, the physical examination reports of the elves came out.

After printing it out and analyzing it carefully, the changes in the elves were not much different from Link's impression of them as he had been with them all day.

After passing the larval stage, the Fire Fox entered a period of rapid development like a normal beginner Pokémon, and its quality and moves have been significantly improved compared to a month ago.

The evolved Torrokitten has made rapid progress, with its overall quality greatly improved, and the day when it evolves into a Blazing Roaring Tiger is not far away.

The Water Wave Dolphin's daily level has regressed, but judging by its efforts in the Dream Sky battle every night, its strength has been steadily improving.

With the help of the [Carti Scarf], Arcanine grew rapidly. Having been nurtured by Shilan, it became the Pokémon with the fastest growth in the team.

Although the training intensity of the Ghost Tail Black Fish is not high, its ability to withstand blows has inexplicably improved, and its strength seems to have increased due to the integration of 108 souls.

In general, the growth rate of the elves is far higher than the average level in the battle frontier area data. If they keep up this pace, they will really be able to defeat the Four Heavenly Kings Challenge Alliance within a year.

"There's still some time before the scheduled challenge, so I might as well use my own deck to play some cards." Link, who had calmed down a lot, simply let the elves have a good rest and return to their normal state, while he went to the park near the Friendly Shop to look for the card player.

"My badge is vibrating. There must be a Pokémon expert nearby."

As expected, he found a large number of teenagers in the park who had just bought cards and formed decks to try to fight. There were even trainers and adults among them.

He randomly picked a boy wearing glasses and a green short-sleeved shirt from the crowd and invited him to a battle.

When Pokémon players make eye contact, they'll start a battle!

"Hello, I'm Xiaosheng." The boy adjusted his reflective glasses. "Let me tell you in advance, I'm a Pokémon who has read all kinds of encyclopedias and I know that I'm unstoppable!"

"Really? Then I'll go all out, too."

five minutes later……

"How can there be such a supermodel elf like Fantasy!"

The boy who called himself Xiaosheng had dull eyes, and stood there like an emo who had lost a dark game.

"Fu..."

It's not appropriate to use "Dream EX", which is rare even among the dense rare cards, to fight against elementary school students who just bought a card pack to complete their card deck.

Link shook his head confidently. He never discriminated against any old, weak, women or children. He would do his best even when facing babies, women and dogs.

But then again, he only now realized that the name and appearance of Xiaosheng seemed familiar, very much like someone he had forgotten because Xiaoyao was not Qianli's daughter.

"Don't cry, are you the child of Master Qianli?"

"I'm not crying!" Xiaosheng said angrily, "Let's play another game. I've already thought of a strategy to deal with Menghuan!"

Link couldn't help but chuckle and showed his side.

"I'm very interested in your expanded Snorlax card. Should we exchange cards before the next game?"

Xiaosheng gladly accepted it, mainly because the opponent had too many cards and he needed to strengthen his own deck.

In fact, the main battle elf it originally wanted to use was the King of Leave, but unfortunately this elf was not included in the first pack.

"I can play with you for about three more games, and then I'll go challenge the Orange Gym."

"So you're a veteran trainer, no wonder you're so good at playing cards."

Xiaosheng nodded, realizing that losing to the opponent was not his problem, and subconsciously looked at the fire fox on the opponent's shoulder with envy.

But his father couldn't be easily defeated by such a small elf.

“Indeed, Pokémon cards test not only luck (and financial resources), but most importantly the knowledge of a trainer, so that you can use attribute restraint and the characteristics of Pokémon to win.

"I see that you, Xiaosheng, seem to like Pokémon battles. I wonder if you are interested in the simulated battles at the Pokémon Center and the Pokémon Online version?"
