Divine Plan? But I'm a Pokémon trainer.

Chapter 195: Badges collected, slate news

Link didn't know if there was a Hunter J in this world, but it didn't matter. He had already thrown all the red and blue orbs to the Dream Province and they were smashed in his hands.

The incident in the Hoenn region has been resolved. As long as Groudon and Kyogre cannot wake up, no matter how much trouble the Scarlet Flame Pine and Water Sycamore make, they can only be an extreme environmental protection organization at most.

The thing that he had been worried about since he traveled through time was solved so easily, which made Link feel a little strange. He didn't understand how such lax defense could last for a thousand years.

He couldn't figure out whether the guardian's family cared about these two orbs...

In any case, he has already arrived in Inyu City and successfully cleared the Flying-type gym this morning. He only has one last piece of the puzzle left to complete the 8 badges of the Hoenn region.

※It's a shame that a lineup of this level can no longer pose any threat.

When he obtained the White Feather Badge from the Inyu Gym, it turned into a [Darkness] Badge and was quickly bound to the Torrentine, which made him very concerned.

As far as Link knows, there should only be dark armor and dark-attribute Digimal but no dark badge, right? Could it be that this badge belongs to Mochizuki Meishin?

"Forget it. There's no need to think so hard about Digimon matters."

One of the translations of the evil element in Pokémon is dark, which is very suitable for this badge.

"Mikoli's gym is quite far from us in a straight line, but there are many flying-type trainers here, so we can just fly over there."

"Bass."

The dark-tailed black fish swimming in the air agreed with this and thought it would be too tiring to swim over there.

It's really hard for it, Argyle and Dolphin to adapt to doing triathlon all day long.

Link smiled and thought, this is because they are in a hurry. It has been more than a week since they started.

So the service he booked this time was...

"I'm Ayi, a flying trainer. Is Xiaolin from Duskwater Town here?" A young man wearing a red short-sleeved shirt and with a sharp hairstyle rushed to the Pokémon Center and looked around, looking for his employer.

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived.

"Wang!"

Hearing this, Arcanine signaled and came to the other party with its trainer.

"It's me. Can we leave now?"

"Anytime!"

Link took back the Pokémon and went outside with it, where he saw Dragonite waiting patiently with his hands folded.

Dragonair can fly directly to any location in the Hoenn region within half an hour to an hour.

"Fu?"

Fire Fox looked at the huge dragon-shaped creature curiously. Is this the ace Pokémon of the Flying Type that the trainer mentioned?
Looks so cute.

Hearing this, Dragonite excitedly hugged the Fire Fox on Link's head. It didn't look like a top-tier Pokémon that dominated singles with its excellent characteristics, performance, and skill pool, and was not inferior in the God War environment.

As expected, the Dragonite that Alice captured in Ripple Bay has a weird personality...

"That's great! I will definitely breed a Dragonite in the future."

With the help of protective gear, Link and his trainer rode on Dragonite, enjoying the lightning speed all the way to the southeast.

At high speed, the noisy and chaotic gale is as sharp as a knife, but under the effect of "mysterious protection", it is as smooth as walking.

Looking at the scenery passing by quickly in front of him, Link thought to himself that his physical condition is now much better than before. He can actually see the scenery along the way clearly and withstand some of the physical reactions caused by the high speed.

Soon, the water city built on the meteorite crater in the center of the Hoenn Sea came into view. The huge dead tree in the middle of the city and the sea of flowers below were as conspicuous as a landmark. Dragonite immediately determined that it was the destination of his trip.

Then it suddenly stopped and slowed down, slowly flew to the Elf Center on the east side of the city and landed steadily.

The entire journey took less than an hour, and Link completed the journey that would have taken about three days to reach by taking Windy Dog to Shuijing City and taking a boat.

The issue of flying Pokémons had to be resolved immediately, or at least a high-speed means of transportation had to be found while collecting the slabs. After paying, Dragonite and its trainer, Wing, left Liuli City at a faster speed than when they came.

Link looked on enviously for a long while before he and Foxy came to the Pokémon Center to make an appointment for a gym challenge.

It's a pity that his behavior accidentally triggered a chain reaction -

"Master Mikoli is not here?"

"I'm sorry, but the leader of the Liuli Gym has just left for the Sinnoh region. I'm afraid it will take a long time for him to come back."

Miss Joy from the Elf Center explained helplessly.

As some of the strongest gym leaders in the Hoenn region, it is inevitable that they will have to work overtime when encountering emergencies.

It was a headache. Link asked tentatively, "So I can't challenge the gym?"

"That's not the case. It's just that you are temporarily unable to apply for a high-level doubles match by the gym leader. Trainers from other gyms will be responsible for providing the assessment."

"Fu?"

In other words, any ordinary trainer who can easily solo defeat it can get the badge?
As the incident happened suddenly, the owner Adam was unable to arrive in time to serve as acting owner.

Even if he could wait a few days for Mikoli's master to come, Link had no time to waste...

I followed my memory here, only to find that the last piece of the puzzle didn't fit neatly into the existing pieces.

This is what they call shooting oneself in the foot.

"How about we not fight this gym for now?"

After pondering for a moment, he shook his head. At worst, after Daigo abdicated and Mikoli took over, he would go to the Champions League to visit and have a talk with Teacher Daigo.

So, he simply applied for a gym challenge, and Torrentine killed the gym trainer's four Pokémon alone, officially ending his journey to collect badges in the Hoenn region...

……

That night, Link came to the Dream Realm again to exchange information with Dream and learned an exciting piece of good news.

"Xiao Lin, there is news about the Water Drop Slate and the Dragon Slate!"

"It just so happens that I have already collected all the gym badges. I will rush over as soon as I have a day off. Where are these two stone tablets?"

Seeing this, Menghuan kept the secret mysteriously: "There is good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"

"Good news..."

Link had a bad feeling in his heart.

"The good news is that the locations of the Water Drop Slate and the Dragon Slate are not far apart. They are almost in the same town, but they are collected by trainers and civilians respectively."

This is indeed great news. At least it can greatly shorten his travel time.

"What about the bad news?"

"This is bad news..."

Menghuan pondered for a long time before finally revealing the truth: "The two slabs are in a place called Lianyi Town."

Ripple Town!?

That’s a small town in the northeast of the United States!

Where did this stick go? Is this still China?

"This is troublesome. It will take me at least ten days or half a month to go to Unova and back. Will I still have time to collect the last two stone tablets?"

"Right, so you need the help of an elf!"
