Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Besides the construction of the gym, Xia Yan's private Pokémon ranch is still in its infancy. Many things and facilities are not yet perfected, and he needs to spend time preparing them.

so.

The end of this competition was not a time for Xia Yan to relax; rather, it marked the beginning of his increasingly busy period.

What are you thinking about?

Suddenly, a gentle voice came.

Xia Yan sat up and looked back. It was Cynthia, whose face was slightly flushed.

They had all met the minimum age requirement for the league's "alcohol ban," so they all drank a little tonight.

And so, Cynthia applied it to her face.

To be honest, Cynthia's rosy cheeks made her seem less distant and more adorable than usual.

She looked away, propped herself up on her arms, sat casually by the pool, gazed at the vast night sky, and shook her head. "No, I was just thinking about the future."

Cynthia walked over to Xia Yan's side.

Watching him put his feet into the pool.

I thought about it.

She bent down to take off her leather shoes, revealing a pair of delicate jade feet, and rolled up her trouser legs to show off her fair and slender calves.

Following Xia Yan's example, I sat down by the pool.

A cool sensation washed over my fair feet as they touched the water.

Cynthia frowned slightly.

But I still put it in and gently shook it.

Ripples spread across the pool, twinkling with starlight.

Looking at Cynthia's expression, Xia Yan couldn't help but chuckle and said, "The water is still quite cool on early spring nights."

Moreover, the Sinnoh region is located in the north.

"Hmm." Cynthia nodded noncommittally.

Swinging his feet, feeling the cool pool water gently against his skin, his brow gradually relaxed.

A girlish heart begins to stir, like two cute, white fish swimming around in the pool.

The water in the pool also changed ripples under her influence.

After a while.

Cynthia gently smoothed her stray hairs, looked up at the night sky just like Xia Yan, and saw the dazzling stars reflected in her eyes.

"Is it confirmed that it's a random town?"

"yes--"

Xia Yan stretched lazily and lay down on the grass again.

Place one hand behind your head and stretch the other hand out like the Chinese character "大" (big).

"What attribute are you going to choose?" Cynthia's ankle swinging frequency gradually slowed down.

"I don't know yet, haha—"

Xia Yan grinned.

From an ordinary citizen to a gym leader, the hardships he endured are unknown to anyone, but in the end, all the sacrifices were worthwhile.

Moreover, the dojo master.

For Xia Yan, this may just be a relatively important milestone along his journey, but it is far from his end.

However, the choice of attributes for this dojo is indeed a relatively important point, and to a large extent, it can serve as a gimmick to attract others to the dojo.

"What suggestions do you have?" Xia Yan turned his head.

Cynthia hesitated for a moment.

She had actually considered this matter from Xia Yan's perspective.

"Dragon type".

Cynthia's words were truly startling, and she really took Xia Yan by surprise.

"Dragon type? You really think highly of me..." Xia Yan smacked his lips and said.

The dragon element is indeed a great gimmick.

As far as Xia Yan knows, there don't seem to be any gyms with Dragon-type Pokémon in the Sinnoh region at present.

If Xia Yan could establish a Dragon-type Pokémon Gym, it would be a very attractive feature.

After all, in most people's eyes, dragon-type Pokémon are synonymous with power.

Moreover, if it really comes down to building a Dragon-type gym, Xia Yan isn't entirely without a chance.

The dragon-type Pokémon egg is about to hatch. In his Pokémon Ranch, there is also a Noivern and its offspring, and an even stronger one, Turtonator, which can be used as a Gym Leader Pokémon.

Even the Tyrannosaurus Rex is a good choice.

After all, many gym leaders don't use the same Pokémon they use for gym battles as their main Pokémon.

Otherwise, if a particularly powerful gym leader were to field all their main Pokémon, an ordinary trainer would have no chance of winning.

The most representative example is Senri from the Hoenn League. His Slaking is so powerful that even most of the Elite Four might not be able to withstand it.

The Gym is an institution in the League that serves as a practical testing ground for young trainers. It assesses not only the trainers' strength but also their various qualities, with battles being just one of the assessment methods.

Moreover.

Who says that when you set up a Dragon-type gym, the Pokémon have to be Dragon-type?

Having "dragon" in your name is fine too...

Right?

Those with "dragon" in their name are much cheaper than those with "dragon" in their attribute.

Cynthia smoothed her hair again and said in a calm tone, "After we return from the Alliance headquarters this time, come back to God and Town with me again. It might be of some help to you."

"Ok?"

Xia Yan glanced at her with some surprise.

Although Xia Yan had been to Shenhe Town several times, he hadn't really taken the initiative to explore some of its secrets.

"What are you two talking about, sneaking around like that?"

Then, another voice came.

Xia Yan knew who the voice belonged to without even turning around.

Without a doubt, it is crossing.

After Natsuhiko disappeared from the party, Wataru searched for him and finally found him and Cynthia sitting by the pool in the backyard.

Despite Xiaochun repeatedly pulling at Du, signaling him not to go over.

But Watari still came.

He expressed his confusion at the glances that Xiaochun cast at him repeatedly.

What does that mean?

Friends are having a chat, why can't he go over?

Then, under Xiaochun's helpless gaze, she came to Xia Yan's side.

Seeing the two soaking their feet, he didn't shy away from it and simply imitated them.

"What do you mean by sneaking around?" Xia Yan glared at him, annoyed.

He then explained, "Let's talk about which attribute to choose for the dojo."

"Oh?"

Du immediately became interested.

The fact that Xia Yan was planning to establish a gym in Sinnoh was no secret among them.

Have you thought it through?

“Cynthia suggested I choose the Dragon type,” Xia Yan said frankly.

Cynthia nodded.

For some reason, her face turned even redder than before.

Du's eyes lit up.

"Dragon-type is great, I'm familiar with dragon-type, dragon-type... wait, Xia Yan, do you have any dragon-type Pokémon?" Wataru realized.

He could tolerate anyone who said Xia Yan didn't have a dragon element, except for Du.

Xia Yan looked back at him.

How many dragon-type monsters do you have?

"I..." Du was speechless for a moment.

We agreed not to reopen old wounds.

Okay.

What was originally a tacit understanding among everyone has now been laid bare after Xia Yan brought it up.

Cynthia covered her mouth and chuckled softly, her eyes curving into crescents.

"You're all getting some fresh air."

Another one has arrived.

Dressed in a little black dress, Daigo, whose demeanor exuded aristocratic elegance, appeared with a beaming smile, easing Wataru's embarrassment.

Finally, the four finalists of this competition all abandoned the lively gathering inside the hall and went outside...

Soaking your feet.
