Divine Plan? But I'm a Pokémon trainer.

Chapter 52: Fire Blowing Island

"Zhulan..."

On the boat to Blowfire Island, Link was still sighing over the chance encounter on this trip.

Even though he had imagined meeting his favorite person in the original work in real life, he was not really ready to meet the champion.

Unless it's a rental match, it's impossible to win against Zhulan now...

"Come to think of it, the battle frontier is also on Blowfire Island."

"Yes, the Sinnoh region's battle frontier is located in the Battle Zone on Blowfire Island. Trainers from all over the world often visit and challenge it, but so far only a few have been able to dominate it."

In fact, the Battle Frontier Zone is also one of the destinations of A Liu's trip.

A battle factory that rents elves for battles;

Battle roulette with random environmental effects;
A battle stage where battles are fought continuously in the ring;
A battle castle with exploration and decryption elements;
And a battle tower that challenges the trainers to the limit of their abilities.

These five types of battle facilities are the main means of profit for the Blowfire Island Battle Zone, and are also a battle sanctuary that countless trainers linger on.

Of course, it is second only to the Champions League Challenge.

"I see."

Looking at the Blowing Fire Island getting closer and closer in the distance, Link thought that maybe he could go to the Battle Factory later to test his strength as a trainer.

If he loses, it means he still needs to settle down, and if he wins, he can exchange for some props that are beneficial to his training.

"Xiao Lin, are you ready to try it too?" A Liu's eyes lit up, and he could just challenge the other party in team mode.

"I want to challenge the battle factory, so I won't have the chance to participate with you."

"Battle Factory!?"

Upon hearing this, Liu immediately retreated strategically: "Are you talking about the battle factory that most trainers call 'the ultimate disgusting and worst battle facility where you have to rely on pure luck to draw Pokémon and win battles in a row'?"

After saying this, A Liu fell into silence. He seemed to want to speak several times but still said nothing.

Link got the general idea from the other's eyes - a brother with some taste, he was simply the King of Red Stone.

Although he added a lot of subjective embellishments, this is roughly what A Liu thought.

"What happened to the random battles?"

"It's nothing, it's just... don't you think that a battle mode where you can't send your own elves into battle is meaningless?"

In A Liu's opinion, the prerequisite for a fight is mutual trust between himself and his partner.

But if the elf sent out is just a random elf that was just received from the staff a few minutes ago, how can the two sides trust each other, and how can they entrust their victory to each other?

Therefore, in the eyes of many trainers, the Battle Factory is a place specially for non-trainers or weaker trainers - in short, it is a place for ordinary passers-by to experience battles.

Especially the "random" rule seems to be a bit of a secret operation when the battle factory has less than 10 people cleared it so far. In addition, the elves used by the factory boss also include the three sacred birds, three sacred beasts, three toilets, red and blue water cities and other legendary elves...

Many orthodox trainers feel deeply disgusted.

"But the opponent's conditions are the same as yours. Failure once or twice may be a matter of luck, but continuous failure means lack of ability." Link didn't think there was anything wrong with the rental mode of battle.

In fact, there are advantages to winning streaks!

Since you can replace an elf from the opponent's team with an elf from your own team in each battle, as long as you win enough times, you can make your lineup as close to the ideal situation as possible.

Not only that, living elves in reality also have their own will.

You may not be able to trust each other at first when you first get the chance, but as you keep winning, trust, confidence and affection can be built in the process.

"In other words, excellent trainers have a great advantage in rental battles. After eliminating the element of luck through consecutive battles, the final competition is about the trainer's own professional qualities such as knowledge, tactics, and affinity with Pokémon."

Don't think about crushing the opponent all the time, and blame your failure on luck and the fact that your Pokémon's training level is not enough to crush the opponent. Trainers must improve their abilities in all aspects, and any shortcomings will become fatal flaws.

"What you said seems to make sense?"

A Liu pondered for a moment, but was soon convinced by Link and realized the hidden meaning and assessment items behind the rental battle mode.

But soon he scratched his head in annoyance and laughed at himself: "Now that I think about it, my knowledge is not enough. If it weren't for the Bug Pokémon, it would be difficult to command as usual."

If you put aside your prejudices and watch the Battle Factory, you will realize your own shortcomings as a trainer.

"Fu~"

The Fire Fox patted the other's shoulder and said, "Go back and practice more, young man."

Link smiled but said nothing... What he just said cannot prove that they didn't tamper with the randomness. Young man, you are still too naive. Is there any business that doesn't do anything behind the scenes?
Even if we test the challenger so much, it would be a bit too much to ask him to take out a legendary elf.

Time passed quickly, and in the evening, the two arrived at the battle zone on Blowing Fire Island.

The Battle Zone is divided into three areas: the Battle Zone where the Battle Frontier is located, the Survival Zone where powerful wild Pokémon live, and the Scenic Spot Zone where celebrities from all over the world gather.

But if you deviate from the planned route, you will be trapped in a more dangerous wilderness, further challenging the limits of yourself and the elves.

If you continue north in this way, you will reach the harsh mountains, which are extremely demanding on both your body and mind.

The legendary Pokémon Sildenafil was sealed in a shrine deep inside by a volcanic rock.

The goal of Liu's trip is to challenge several battle facilities and then head north to fight against powerful wild fire-attribute Pokémon.

Link, who was thinking about Growlithely, had no intention of fighting and had to part ways with the opponent temporarily.

"It's really hot on Blowing Fire Island."

"Fu~"

"Meow~"

"Hey~"

Strolling on the beach with the elves, the evening breeze blows, and the bubbles spit out by the elves such as the giant crab reflect beautiful light under the setting sun.

About one hundred and fifty years ago, during the era of the great development of Xicui, this was where the Pearl Team worshipped the island king, Windy Dog.

Times have changed and it has been developed into a special zone for fighting and sightseeing, which is really sad.

He also didn't know what happened to those people he was familiar with during the Xi Cui era.

Did Bei Shang, who traveled from the future to the past and lost his memory, return to his own time?
Maybe the alpaca was more wry than he thought.

If we look for the descendants of the original managers, it might be much easier than coming here without any idea.

but……

"Now that we're here, let's start the search for the Chitrikati dog!"

Of course you have to ask the elves about matters concerning elves!
　The rules of the battle against the factory are:
　　The challenger cannot use his own Pokémon, and must deposit Pokémon before starting the battle.

　　At the beginning of each round of challenge, the player is randomly given 6 Pokémon, from which he or she must choose 3 to compete with him or her. The first one chosen is the first, and the internal order cannot be changed during the challenge.

　　Each challenge round consists of 7 games.

　　After each battle, the HP and PP of all Pokémon will be restored, and the used items will reappear.

　　The staff will then tell the player the information about the other party's companions.

　　Finally, you have a chance to exchange one of your Pokémon with one of your opponent's Pokémon.
