Chapter 51 The Crystal Bead and the Alliance Chat
Too crystalline.

A unique phenomenon discovered very early in the "Zero Zone" crater in the center of Padiya.

Wild Pokémon that have mastered the crystallization mechanism can condense a crystal armor covering their entire body during battle, thereby temporarily changing their type.

Not only can it avoid the original fatal weakness, but it can also gain the same power amplification effect as the Taijing attribute.

If used properly, crystallization will undoubtedly bring huge benefits in battles.

There is also a kind of extremely mysterious special crystallization, which is recorded in the Parthian "masterpiece" "The Book of Purple".

Pokémon possessing this power can not only emit a dazzling light, but also exert a strong suppressive force on other overly crystallized Pokémon.

Unfortunately, no actual wild individuals have been found to date.

To most Parthians, the contents of the Purple Book seem more like absurd stories written by a madman named Heize.

It will probably take another year or two to bounce back from this boomerang.

"So this is what the real Taijing Pearl looks like. It's quite heavy."

After returning to the gym from Flatbread Town, Qingyu weighed the black ball in his hand, which was similar in size to a Poké Ball but several times heavier, and couldn't help but sigh.

Based on the current timeline, it's estimated that the Taijing Bead was developed several years ago.

Therefore, it is quite reasonable to popularize it first among dojo owners.

"Unfortunately, having only the Taijing Pearl is not enough."

"If you want to freely change the type of a Primal Crystal, you'll need a large number of Primal Crystal fragments to allow the Pokémon to adapt to different types of power..."

This is consistent with the game.

But repeatedly farming for Crystal Shards is the most agonizing part of the game, bar none!

Qingyu sighed helplessly.

Thinking back to the days when he spent countless hours grinding for six-star crystals with his friends and family, he felt a dull ache all over his body.

Hope everyone is okay.

But since we're in the Pokémon world, we can't not buy this, right?
Compared to the Crystal Pearl, he was more curious about the Navigator group chat that Miss Joey invited him to join after applying to the Alliance.

"Padiya staff communication group".

It can also be called the Palu Exchange Group, which is full of working people from the Padia Alliance.

In addition to the gym leader, the Elite Four member, and the champion, there are also key members of the league such as Officer Jenny and Miss Joy from various towns.

The group leader is naturally the only sun in Padia, and the league's top champion is also merciful.

Unfortunately, Qingyu is not a local.

There can only be one sun in the sky, and in my heart there is only one sun—Miss Zhulan!
There are quite a few trainers like him who serve as key members in other regions; many regions have an overseas Elite One.

"Azure Feather" has joined the group chat.

[Qishu: Welcome newcomer~]

[Kiki: Oh my gosh~ Isn't this my junior? You weren't in this group before?]

Speaking of which, it seems that Qingyu hasn't contacted Qishu for a few days since their last chat.

[Aoki:...]

[Aoki: Remember to change your group ID after joining.]

As a victim of the live stream, Aoki, the "Overtime King," also quickly appeared.

Even through the words, you can feel the strong sense of class spirit.

[Qingyu: Received.]

[Xin Li: Oh? You're the "young man with good tactics" that Aoki mentioned, right? Welcome, welcome.]

Xinli, the Earthly King of Padiya.

A slender, beautiful woman in a suit appeared in Qingyu's mind.

Despite being called the Elite Four member of the Ground faction, she is actually a versatile trainer with an exceptionally high level of skill. Her ace Pokémon is the Earth Elite Four member, whose very name suggests exceptional quality.

That's right, this guy is also a master of drugs...

Each of the Four Heavenly Kings of Padia has their own unique skills. Besides Cindy, who excels at using poison and sandstorms, Aoki, who is good at enduring tough tactics, and the dragon tamer Hachisaku can bring players endless surprises!
Hachisaku: Mr. Watari, what type of dragon do you prefer?

As for the other little girl Poppy who plays with Steel-type moves, she's probably only seven years old now, so it's impossible for her to be here...

Therefore, the position of King of the Gods is currently vacant in Parthia.

[Ah Feng: There's a newcomer? If it's a younger person, they'll probably have more in common with Qi Shu and Guru Xia, right?]

[Lyme: You're right.]

[Gurusha: ...Hello.]

A newcomer appeared in the group chat after a long absence, and the other owners also showed up one after another.

Gurusha?
Upon hearing this name, Qingyu's lips twitched involuntarily, and a static image of a beautiful woman subconsciously surfaced in her mind.

It's a pity he was such a good brother.

That's right, Gurusha is a boy around his age...

Qingyu sighed silently.

The phrase "He smells so good, bro" is fine as a joke online, but he wouldn't dare say it in the real Pokémon world.

[Qingyu: Dear seniors, please give me your guidance.]

Compared to himself, a newbie still waiting for the dojo's assessment, these newly emerged figures were either top-tier dojo masters or the eight dojo leaders.

It's perfectly fine to politely address someone as a senior.

[Kiji: Hehe, don't be nervous, junior. Everyone here is very friendly~]

[Lip: Azure Feather... Could it be that streamer from the battle section who's been really popular on Pokémon TV lately?]

[Hai Dai: Oh! I see. I've seen your videos; you explained the mouse analogy really well. I'm a fan now!]

Ok?
Has Haidai, the owner of the Glass Bottle Dojo, also watched my videos?

Qingyu felt that she might have underestimated her popularity in the Padiya region.

Just as he was about to type out some mutual compliments, a message appeared that made him immediately stop what he was doing.

[Ye Ci: Let's end this small talk here. Now that Qingyu has joined this group, I'd like to take this opportunity to tell you something.]

The moment the champion appeared, his powerful aura immediately silenced the group chat.

Qingyu stopped what she was doing and waited quietly for what she was going to say next.

Seemingly to accommodate him, a new gym leader without any guidance, Ci then roughly summarized some of the current gym rules of the Padilla League.

For example, in addition to the Pokémon you raise yourself, you can also use the method of renting Pokémon to test challengers.

The Pokémon rental service is centrally allocated by the League headquarters, requires advance booking, and involves a small fee.

For Sunshine Dojo, the rental service is actually quite useful.

With the alliance as a support force, it seems that the "dojo-themed" service he has been preparing can be implemented soon?

As for the other rules, they are of little use to him for the time being.

Although I often joke that Ye Ci is even more ruthless than capitalists, after getting to know her, I feel that she is actually very responsible!

The less ability I have, the less responsibility I bear, and naturally, the work will not fall to me!
Qingyu seemed to have figured out how to survive in Padia.

So-called mixed learning...

A soothing melody drifted into my ears.

However, just as he was in a good mood, Ye Ci spoke up again:
[One more thing: Due to Gym Leader Kosa's need to go out to gather materials, the Deep Bowl Dojo will be temporarily closed, therefore he will be unable to serve as the Gym Leader of the Eight Dojos next year.]

Therefore, one of the eight dojo positions is temporarily vacant. The year-end assessments for the remaining dojos will be moved forward by one week, and the dojo master who ranks first in the assessment will replace Kosa as the dojo master.

???

When Qingyu saw this message, she almost couldn't catch her breath.

No, the development period is short enough to begin with.

Are you planning to let me take the gym assessment with two babies right now?
The future is completely ruined...

Maybe I should just go back to Sinnoh and inherit the family business... (thinking deeply)
