Elf: Starting as the Fighting Gym Master, and being entangled by Nancy.

Chapter 203: The gym leaders in the Johto region are coming too?
Sakaki listened to Li Xuan's words, but his eyes were always fixed on Xiaoyin not far away.

"?"

Xiaoyin felt a chill down his spine, feeling like something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

"Master, if you have nothing else to do, I'll go for a walk outside first."

Xiaoyin felt that the gym was cold, so he took his Pokémon out for a walk.

Now that you have arrived in Jinhuang City, you must get familiar with this city.

"Okay, if you don't come back for lunch, remember to let me know in advance."

After Li Xuan said a few words to Xiaoyin, he turned his attention back to Sakaki.

Noticing Li Xuan's gaze, Sakaki calmly adjusted his emotions and said calmly, "Is this the only apprentice in Master Li Xuan's dojo?"

"Yes, ever since being defeated twice in a row by the Golden Gym, the Fighting Gym has been in a state of lack of successors."

Li Xuan shook his head, and there was a hint of bitterness in his tone when he talked about his own dojo.

The first two masters of the fighting dojo were quite capable, but they were always crushed by Nancy.

Wu De lost in the round of 16, and Xin Yan met Naz shortly after the start of the game and sent her home on the spot.

If it weren't for himself and Bumeng being the only ones left in the gym, Nobuhiko would have closed it down immediately.

"It's my fault. I should have added some water."

Nancy moved over instantly, her tone apologetic.

Li Xuan, Sakaki: "..."

I heard such sincere words from Naz.

Even someone as strong as Sakaki fell silent.

【Martial Virtue: 6】

【Nobuhiko：6】

[I couldn't hold it in, really.]

[Master Nancy is too good at talking. Next time, please stop talking.]

[Hahahaha, I don't think it's a big deal. During the original competition, Gym Leader Nancy showed me my shortcomings. It's a shame I'm not in Kanto right now, otherwise I could come and see how the dojo is doing now.]

"Master! I'm training at Mount Radium in the Johto region. Where are you?"

I'm having tea with the owner of the A-Si Tavern in Azure City. Let's find time to go back to Golden City together next week.

"What's wrong?"

Nancy was a little confused as to why the two of them suddenly fell silent.

"Nothing, I just think you're too kind. It's been so long since the incident happened, and you still take it to heart."

After Li Xuan replied, he took a cup for Nazhi and signaled Bu Miao to help pour a cup of tea.

"Okay, okay, the three owners, please have some tea."

After pouring the tea, Bu Miao sat aside and browsed his phone.

The three museum owners sat together, but no one spoke.

They just drank tea, and the gurgling sound coming from their throats came one after another.

The scene was very embarrassing.

As Xiaoyin left the fighting dojo and went shopping, Sakaki felt tormented.

It’s hard to bear!
As for Nancy?

She usually doesn't talk much.

In most cases, it is Li Xuan who takes the initiative to speak, and then Nazi will speak.

*Beep beep* The three phones rang simultaneously.

Li Xuan glanced at the phone screen that lit up and found that the "all members" notification of the gym group was flashing a red mark.

When I clicked on it, I saw the official announcement from the group leader Adu.

[Dragon Envoy Ferry: The latest decision of the Alliance Headquarters has been sent to the group announcement, everyone can take a look.]

【Group Announcement:

Announcement of League Tournament Adjustments
After research and decision by the Alliance Headquarters, the following adjustments have been made to the arrangements for this "Gym Contest" and subsequent events:

1. The scope of the competition has been expanded, but the selection schedule for the eight major gyms remains unchanged.
In addition to the original plan, the gyms in the Johto area will also be included in this gym competition.

The rest will proceed as planned, and the selection schedule, rules and match arrangements will remain unchanged.

2. The quarterfinals will be held before the Quartz Conference

After the eight major gyms in the Kanto and Johto regions are officially determined, the "Challenge Tournament" originally scheduled to continue will be held in advance before the opening of the Quartz Conference as a special exhibition match.

To enhance the warm-up atmosphere of the conference and present high-level battles to the audience.

3. Subsequent arrangements
The specific schedule and competition format will be announced separately after the eight major gyms are determined.

The ranking will be divided into three sections.

The Kanto Eight Avenues Hall, the Johto Eight Avenues Hall, and the Kanto and Johto Eight Avenues Hall.

These adjustments are intended to optimize tournament viewing while ensuring fair selection. Gyms and participating Trainers are encouraged to prepare in advance.

If you have any objections, please send me a private message. 】

Onix: Oh? The qualifications for this year's Gym Tournament have changed. Are the quarterfinals postponed until before the Quartz Conference to serve as an exhibition match?

[Retired Colonel from Hezhong: OMG, I was thinking I'd be able to meet Master Li Xuan later, but it's going to be postponed again?]

[Yuhong Meilihua: I never thought I'd be on the Quartz Conference stage again, and it would be in this way.]

[Poison King Reserve: It seems like a long time ago that I last attended a Quartz Conference.]

[Dojo Abandoned Monkey: @Dragon Envoy Du, if you win the championship, what can you do? ]

[Dragon Envoy Du: Does Pavilion Master Li Xuan have any ideas?]

Li Xuan's remarks successfully caused everyone in the group who were discussing intensely to stop typing on their keyboards, and they all wanted to see what he would say next.

[Gym Abandoned Monkey: As far as I know, this should be the first time that the Gym Contest is connected to the Quartz Tournament, right?]

【Dragon Messenger Du: Indeed.】

[Dojo Abandoned Monkey: Well, since this is the first time, I think we can make the rewards more generous. Not just for the champion, but also for the masters of the eight major gyms.]

[Gym Abandoned Monkey: For example, gym expansion qualifications, high-quality Pokémon eggs, expansion discounts, and a small bonus~ After all, gyms are the backbone of the entire region, so giving them more rewards is a good thing.]

Dragon Envoy Du: Indeed, Pavilion Master Li Xuan's suggestion is very good. I will adopt it.

[Dragon Envoy Du: When the time comes, I will have the Alliance communicate with the local land bureau and allocate more land to the eight avenue hall owners.]

[Cerulean Mermaid: I'm so jealous! I want to expand my gym too~]

[Yuhong Meilihua: Me too! Just thinking about it makes me excited!]

Dragon Envoy Du: However, the bonuses may be smaller. After all, more might be too much. Of course, the Alliance will not treat you unfairly.

After Yulongdu said this, all the gym leaders followed with a message of "received".

Li Xuan looked at this last piece of news and couldn't help but let out a breath.

No Money!
Is there any way to make some money?
When the time comes, you will be looking at a pile of expansion permits, but you don’t have the money to use for the expansion. If others find out, won’t they laugh at you?
"Wait, what did the first one say?"

Li Xuan looked up and asked the other two colleagues.

"It seems... the Johto region will also participate in this gym competition?"
