Age of Elves: I started flashing with my handheld

"Kru..." Greninja scratched its head somewhat embarrassedly, because its carelessness had almost caused its trainer to get injured.

"It's okay," Nanfeng said, somewhat excited.

The waveguide force that has been spirally compressed is more difficult to control than ordinary waveguide force. Naturally, it will explode on its own when it leaves the Greninja at a certain distance, rather than being as stable as an ordinary wave missile.

However, the spiral-compressed wave missile is at least twice as powerful as a regular wave missile!

In front of Nanfeng, within five meters of the site of the spiral wave missile explosion, the grassland had disappeared, and a sizable crater had appeared on the ground. From the surface of the land, this was a kind of "annihilation" damage.

Keep in mind that this spiral wave missile exploded in mid-air!

Its power is terrifying.

"Super King, come and try it too!" Nanfeng called out to Super King, who had just finished working in the kitchen and had taken off his apron.

Super King also underwent the same training as Greninja.

Compared to Greninja, Mega King can easily control Spiral Blast. And once thrown, it can still lock onto and attack the opponent just like a regular Spiral Blast.

The explosion is twice as powerful!

"Tsk tsk, I guess very few Pokémon will be able to withstand your first wave missile in the future," Nanfeng remarked.

Super King also carries the "Brutal Kill Black Belt," and its first Spiral Wave Missile is estimated to have the destructive power of four of its usual wave missiles!

"Boss, there's a notification from the Trainers Association!" Lin Wei called out from inside the room.

"Okay, I'll be right there." Nanfeng originally wanted to give some pointers to Blaziken and Hyperactive Apex.

"Then you two teach Blaziken and Ape-Akatsuki," Nanfeng instructed Greninja and Mega King, then stepped into the house.

The training method I just used came from the "Rasengan" in the anime "Naruto" that I watched before I transmigrated.

Nanfeng always felt that the power of waveguides was very similar to chakra.

It's not just about colors; they are the primordial forces of the world, with gentle energy that can accommodate other attributes. The energy has a wide range of uses, including offense, defense, healing, exploration, and amplification.

So, Nanfeng thought of letting Greninja try to learn the "Rasengan". Greninja... well, he's a ninja too!

If this can be achieved, then Greninja will have a training path in place for a long time to come, and even for it to improve to the level of "champion" or "master".

After all, the ordinary Rasengan is just the foundation; even stronger Rasengans can be developed later.

For example... Rasenshuriken? Giant Rasengan?

Back inside, Lin Wei was dressed in the same business attire as before, holding a tablet in her hand.

"What notification did the Trainers Association send?" Nanfeng asked.

"The annual Gym Leaders Conference is about to begin. We would like to invite you to attend the conference at the Gym Leaders Association headquarters in the capital city in three days, on June 1st."

314. Gym Leader Meeting

Headquarters of the Beijing Trainers Association.

The annual Gym Leaders Conference is about to begin.

Gym Leaders from all thirty-four provincial capitals gathered to discuss matters related to Gym Leaders from the previous year and to outline their tasks for the coming year. However, the main purpose was to facilitate exchange among Gym Leaders from different regions, and also to conduct the annual Gym Leader Ranking Tournament.

It's not far from Dongning to the capital; it only takes about two hours by plane.

Therefore, Nanfeng set off on the very day the meeting began.

The 9 o'clock flight arrived a little after 11 o'clock.

Nanfeng randomly picked a restaurant for lunch and waited until 1 p.m. before reporting to the Trainers Association headquarters.

Amidst the enthusiastic gazes of a group of "fans," Nanfeng walked up to the third floor.

The central conference room is where the gym leaders' meetings are held.

Upon entering the conference room, one is greeted by a huge round table with a total of thirty-five seats. The extra seat is reserved for the convener of the meeting, namely the vice president of the Beijing Trainers Association.

As for why the president wasn't the one to hold this meeting...

The champions of the Dragon Kingdom basically only attend the Heavenly King Meeting.

"South wind! Over here!"

As soon as Nanfeng walked in, she saw her senior, Huo Wenjie, greeting her.

"Senior" Nanfeng quickly stepped forward.

There are thirty-five seats, each labeled with the name of a dojo. The Ice Dragon Dojo is right next to the Winter Ning Dojo; I wonder if senior Huo Wenjie deliberately changed the seats.

Many museum owners had already arrived in the conference room, and upon hearing the name Nanfeng, many looked up to search for him.

Nanfeng has become quite famous in China recently.

It wasn't just that Southwind Breeding House's groundbreaking introduction of the "Individual Value" (IV) concept sparked a trend, attracting a large number of trainers.

Furthermore, Nanfeng achieved an astonishing twelve-game winning streak by battling twelve challengers in just over a month. If someone were to examine the records of these twelve battles, they would find that Nanfeng did not change his Pokémon in any of them.

In other words, Nanfeng won every single match by defeating four opponents.

Such terrifying fighting power and ruthless fighting style meant that after these twelve battles, Nanfeng received no further challenges for a long time. On the contrary, many people wanted to enter the Dongning Dojo and become Nanfeng's disciples.

Nanfeng naturally refused them all.

Whether in terms of fame or strength, he has already gained recognition from the entire society of the Dragon Kingdom, and the position of Gym Leader is well-deserved.

No one would think that the South Wind was just a shooting star that suddenly streaked across the night sky.

Some people have even started predicting when Nanfeng will become a king and then win the championship.

"It's been a while since I last saw you, and you seem a bit different!" Huo Wenjie carefully examined Nanfeng, feeling that his junior was somewhat different from when he first met him.

"What's different?"

"Where... you've grown taller, and your demeanor is different too," Huo Wenjie said seriously after careful observation. "Your demeanor is more... ethereal, you seem to have the air of a master, emmm, I can't quite put my finger on it, I'll have your teacher take a look when we get back to school."

"Senior, I'm 19 years old this year. Isn't it normal for me to grow taller?" Nanfeng sat down with a smile.

He has indeed grown quite a bit taller recently; he used to be barely 180cm, but now he's almost 185cm. As for his demeanor... perhaps it's because of those three precious pearls.

The feeling of being able to command the wind and rain with a mere gesture probably gave him a sense of mastery.

"I almost forgot you're 19 if you hadn't mentioned it," Huo Wenjie couldn't help but purse his lips. His junior, aside from his looks, didn't seem like a typical 19-year-old in any way—whether it was his fighting ability, his manner of speaking, or his overall demeanor.

"Brother Wenjie, aren't you going to introduce your new friend to everyone?"

As the two were chatting, a bald, burly man suddenly came over to say hello and plopped down on Huo Wenjie's left.

Three or four other people came with him; they also seemed to want to get to know Nanfeng.

"Get lost! You guys are all bad people. If I introduce my junior to you, you might just trick me sometime," Huo Wenjie said with a look of disgust, but he still introduced him to Nanfeng.

"Cai Afu from Fulin Martial Arts Academy, you can just call him Bald Fu."

"What 'Bald Fu'? Don't you dare use my nickname on a newbie! Watch out, I'll crush you in this ranking battle!" Cai Afu said angrily, but his smile immediately vanished when he looked at Nanfeng. "Gym Leader Nanfeng, I've heard so much about you. If you ever need any Water-type Pokémon, feel free to contact me!"

"I'm the one who should be beating you up, right? Last time in ranked matches, I beat you so badly you were running all over the battlefield, have you forgotten?" Huo Wenjie snorted and continued to introduce the next person.

"Wang Chengke from Caiyun Martial Arts School, I like to call him Photographer Xiao Wang!"

"Hello, Master Nanfeng, I've heard so much about you." Wang Chengke was an intellectual-looking young man dressed in a light blue linear shirt, wearing black-rimmed glasses and a silver watch, with a retro camera hanging around his neck—a somewhat incongruous combination. He had a very refined smile and was probably a few years older than Huo Wenjie.

"Hello," Nanfeng nodded quickly.

Afterwards, Huo Wenjie introduced several other owners to Nanfeng, all of whom he considered worth befriending.

He also told Nanfeng that there were several gym leaders he should avoid befriending, and that he should even be wary of them.

After all, there is competition between gym trainers.

In the gym ranking battles, only the first-place winner has the right to challenge the Elite Four, but that doesn't mean the other rankings are meaningless.

The 34 museum owners were divided into four tiers.

Apart from the first place, which is in a league of its own, the remaining thirty-three masters are divided into tiers of eleven each.

The salaries of dojo trainers vary depending on their level.

Let's take the most basic example: the Mysterious Treasure-level Spirit Item.

As a Gym Leader, the basic salary is three Treasures, but the top Gym Leader might have six or seven.

The same applies to other income, similar to tax rates, which might not be 1%, but rather 2% or 3%.

"The time has come, so let's officially begin this meeting!"

Suddenly, a plump woman dressed in a black business suit stood in the position of the meeting convener and spoke to the crowd.

She is Jiang Liba, the vice president of the Trainers Association.

315. Rules: Wild Fighting

.

"That concludes the agenda for this year's Gym Leaders Conference."

"As is customary, we will be holding the Gym Leader Ranking Battle before the day after tomorrow. All Gym Leaders, please confirm whether you wish to participate in this Gym Leader Ranking Battle and complete the registration before midnight tonight!"

After saying that, Jiang Li picked up her notebook and left.

Leaving behind a group of dormant gym leaders.

Nanfeng listened attentively to Jiang Li's meeting report. To be honest, her remarks were rather vague and general, elevating the discussion to a national level and instructing gym leaders on what to do.

For example, she mentioned how a gym should guide the general public to develop a good trainer mindset, such as loving Pokémon and treating them kindly.

What they said is all correct, but it feels like a slogan.

"One One Zero"

Moreover, the entire meeting didn't feel like a regular meeting; it was more like a lecture for the dojo masters.

No wonder these gym trainers fell asleep.

They've long since outgrown the habit of listening to lectures. Senior student Huo Wenjie said that they heard the same rhetoric last year.

"Let's go register. There's a cocktail party tonight," Huo Wenjie stretched, patted Nanfeng on the shoulder, and got up.

Nanfeng also got up and followed him out.

The registration point for the gym trainers' ranking battle was right at the entrance, and the secretary of Jiang Li, the vice president of the Trainers Association, was registering the gym trainers.

While waiting in line, Nanfeng suddenly had a question.

"Senior, why do we need to register for the Gym Leader Ranking Battle? Isn't that something every Gym Leader participates in?"

“No, no, no, not every gym leader wants to participate in the ranking battles,” Huo Wenjie shook his head. “Last year, only twenty gym leader trainers participated in the ranking battles.”

I glanced at the queue again.

"Even less is estimated this year."

"Why? Don't they care about the rewards? Or do they not want to challenge the Elite Four?" Nanfeng wondered. Even if some gym trainers had other things to do, surely almost half of them wouldn't participate?

"That's not the case. The rewards from secret treasures are still very tempting for gym leader trainers."

"The main reason is that the rules of the Gym Leader Ranking Tournament make many Gym Leaders feel it's unnecessary to participate."

"What rules?" Nanfeng pressed.

"Ye Dou!"

"Wild battles?" Nanfeng was astonished. He never expected that the rules for the Gym Leader Ranking Battles would be wild battles.

Wild fighting, an ancient form of combat, or rather, a rule that can't even be called a rule, because wild fighting has no rules at all.

There are no restrictions on the number of Pokémon that can be used, no restrictions on the items that can be used to attack Pokémon, and you can even directly attack the trainer.

Because wild battles are inherently battles aimed at killing the opponent's trainer!

Of course, in the Gym Leader Ranking Battles, you don't actually have to kill your opponent.

Victory is achieved by defeating all of the opponent's Pokémon or by rendering the opponent's trainer unable to battle. There is a limit to the number of Pokémon that can be used; only six can be used.

"What? Are you scared?" Huo Wenjie asked with a smile.
