Elf: Start with small diamonds, then mutate into Diancie!

Isn't this what he did when he revived the Berry Forest?

I wonder who happened to take this picture in that area...

------------

Walking down the street to the Fairy-type Gym, Su Hao looked down at his phone and read the news.

While scrolling through the pages, an official announcement from the Shenzhou Alliance caught his attention.

He quickly glanced through it, his expression showing some surprise.

Su's father hadn't told him about this yet.

This is a new policy announcement regarding trainers.

The scheduled implementation date is this summer vacation, which is June or July.

First, the ranking system has been reformed. In the future, ranking matches will no longer require collecting badges. Players can directly advance after winning the official matches and reaching the required points.

Secondly, the dojo system has been reformed. Dojo-level trainers who meet the standards and pass the league's review can open dojos in their own cities and recruit apprentices.

These gym badges are still recognized by major universities as one of the requirements for graduating from Pokémon Battle majors.

At the same time, these new dojos will only accept challenges from university students and those of appropriate age.

In other words, there will no longer be opportunities to skip levels and choose a university, such as the beginner gym badge.

Previously, the Eighteen Attribute Dojo was more like an official examination institution, without recruiting apprentices; the dojo owners had to do everything themselves.

The newly opened dojo not only took over the responsibility of issuing badges, but can also set up apprentice positions to train newcomers.

The original 18-attribute Gym Leaders will no longer accept reservations for Gym Badge Challenges; they will only accept Qualifying Challenges from the Path of Champions.

The Road to Champions is a new promotion mechanism launched by the Shenzhou Alliance.

After defeating the four fully-fledged gym leaders of the eighteen attributes, you will gain the qualification to enter the Champion's Path.

Completing the Champion's Path will qualify you to become a "Replacement Four Heavenly Kings Champion," and the Replacement Four Heavenly Kings will be given priority to take over after the current Four Heavenly Kings Champion steps down.

This is a faster path, unlike the King of Kings Challenge, which requires time to accumulate rankings and reach a fixed position before it can be held at a fixed time.

The higher your rank, the longer the matchmaking time will be.

Although the condition of defeating four Gym Leaders at their full strength seems easy enough for Trainers ranked high on the Master Ball list to achieve with a little effort.

However, it remains unclear what exactly the path to becoming a champion entails and what conditions must be met to become a substitute king.

After reading through so many messages, Su Hao felt that the Shenzhou Alliance was sending a signal that it intended to cultivate a new generation of trainers.

However, these are not things he should be concerned about right now. What he needs to do now is to finish the Fairy Gym challenge and go home.

The Fairy-type gym is called the Fairy Gym. The Fairy Gym's battle facilities are located in the city center, and like Su Hao's father's Sunrise Gym, it also serves other functions.

Unlike the Ice Gym and Poison Gym, where you could challenge the Gym Leader directly, the Fairy Gym, like the Water Boat Gym, requires a reservation system.

After completing the reservation procedures at the front desk, Su Hao was informed by the receptionist that the match would begin in the main stadium in an hour. As he was about to rest for a while, he suddenly felt a burning gaze fixed on him.

Su Hao: "...?"

He didn't turn his head; his all-powerful detection ability, the power of waveguide, spread out. Normally, he wouldn't maintain the habit of constantly checking his surroundings in the city.

After all, his waveguide can now go through walls, and it wouldn't be good if he saw something with a pinhole-sized hole in it.

In the waveguide vision, a middle-aged man who looks to be in his sixties and is wearing a training uniform is staring at him.

Su Hao thought to himself, "Let him watch if he wants; it won't hurt me."

Finding a public chair to sit on, Su Hao began to think about the Pokémon he would use in this battle.

Tianxi planned to go back and discuss it with Su's parents before revealing it at a suitable time.

This Fairy Gym challenge is a 1v1 battle.

Therefore, the Pokémon you can choose to use in battle is either Incineroar or Milotic.

Dorgon Messia is still fast asleep in his luxury ball; his small frame from when he was just born means he's not fit to play.

After some consideration, since Diancie can't be sent out for the time being, the only option against the Fairy Gym Leader who might send out professional-level fighters is Milotic.

While Incineroar is resistant to Fairy-type moves due to its Fire-type attribute, it still lacks the foundation to fight battles at a higher level.

On the contrary, Milotic has abundant energy and the ability to regenerate, allowing it to fight a prolonged battle!

......

This time, there was no greeting or conversation between the gym leader and Su Hao. He simply received a notification and arrived at the battlefield, where the Fairy Dojo gym leader was already waiting for him on the other side.

Su Hao's good eyesight allowed him to see the other person's appearance clearly.

It was basically the same as what he found online.

Li Qingyi, owner of the Fairy Pavilion and... hot mom internet celebrity.

She dresses very fashionably and often posts selfies on her Weibo account.

Meanwhile, her two three- or four-year-old, beautiful twins often appear in her photos, which has garnered her a lot of fans.

Li Qingyi also remembered Su Hao. Two veteran trainers in the gym leader group praised him highly, and he was also the son of one of their colleagues.

His own dojo was the final stop in Su Hao's collection of beginner badges.

In other words, as long as Su Hao passes this test, he can skip a grade and go directly to university!

Actually, there's an unspoken rule within the league.

For those qualified to challenge the beginner dojo, the first dojo is the most difficult.

They select the Pokémon to fight based on the League's instructions.

To prevent talented individuals from wasting their abilities, the league placed the most difficult challenge in the first round.

Once you get past that, the subsequent gyms won't be as difficult as the first one, which required the participation of professional-level Pokémon.

If they fail to pass the test, the alliance will send a professional psychological counselor to advise them to go back and continue training, and not waste time on repeated challenges.

The Shenzhou Alliance is now fully committed to nurturing these new generation talents.

According to inside information known to their gym leader, after Su Hao completed his first gym battle, the League stopped various universities that were eager to recruit students and sent out extremely rare Pokémon—Rotom and Porygon—to quietly delete all the videos of that match.

It's just that although the current era seems peaceful, the open and covert struggles between various countries and the rampant criminal organizations have made the Alliance consider delaying Su Hao's appearance in the spotlight.

According to insiders, that deadline is right when the college league ends!

......

[This match will be a 1v1 singles battle.]

The Gym Leader and the Challenger simultaneously release their Pokémon for the battle.

The first Pokémon to be unable to battle wins.

[Please release your Pokémon simultaneously!]

"Go, Milotic!"

"Go, Tokiss!"

------------

Iron arms, iron only because of Ash Pikachu.

Chapter 123 Classmate, have you heard of the Seed Project?

"Milotic, unleash the final blow, Ice Beam!"

After spending a lot of time with Articuno, Milotic has also learned how to use Ice-type moves more skillfully, just like Articuno.

After a long struggle against this elite-level late-game Togekiss, Su Hao finally found an opportunity to decide the outcome of the battle.

Fortunately, Togekiss isn't good at recovery moves, otherwise the time would have been much longer.

The Freeze Ray, imbued with the chilling power of Articuno, struck Togekiss. Togekiss seemed unable to withstand the attack any longer and instantly plummeted to the ground like a kite with a broken string.

Pokkiss

Togekiss is unable to fight, Milotic wins.

Therefore, the winner is—challenger Su Hao.

After retrieving the Togekiss that had lost its ability to fight, Li Qingyi approached Su Hao with an exquisite pink badge.

This should be the Fairy Badge.

"Congratulations, you've now collected all four."

Su Hao accepted the fairy badge from Li Qingyi and said humbly, "Thank you for your guidance, Master Li."

At the same time, the system task completion notification sounded along with the fairy badge that Su Hao had just received.

[Ding! Mission complete!]

[Mission: Collect the beginner badges from any four of the eighteen elemental gyms!]

[Collected: Beginner Water Boat Badge, Beginner Extreme Ice Badge, Beginner Poison Badge, Beginner Fairy Badge.]

[Rewards: Advanced Waveguide Power and 50000 System Currency!]

The system's reward distribution has always been humane. The power of the wave guide is currently in his system inventory, and he can fuse it as soon as he takes it out.

Li Qingyi smiled and said, "This beginner badge you have won't be issued anymore; it'll be discontinued soon. Remember to keep it as a souvenir!"

The League's new policy will be implemented in a month or two. At that time, these gym leaders will no longer accept gym challenges, and the beginner gym badges will be withdrawn, making them truly unavailable.

"I will."

"Well then, I'll take my leave now, Master Li."

Su Hao bowed politely and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute, someone here wants to talk to you."

Li Qingyi called out to Su Hao and gestured for the middle-aged man in the audience to come down.

A middle-aged man in training clothes walked down from the audience and came to Su Hao.

Su Hao had a vague impression of this person; he remembered that this was the person who had been staring at him while he was waiting for his match.
