After completing all this, Su Yi walked on the street under the setting sun with Lucao.
The atmosphere of the gym challenge remains the same, with billboards around the building playing highlights of the competition in rotation, and also inserting some ads in real time to increase revenue.
As a giant that owns Galar's energy, transportation, construction and other industries, President Los takes every opportunity to improve economic efficiency.
I can only say that he is indeed a person with a keen eye who discovered the champion, Dan Di.
"Oh? The rally is still going on." Su Yi saw that the rally was still as lively as ever, and even more colorful and lively with the arrival of night.
"Let's go shopping."
It’s definitely not because I saw Lurina today and wanted to buy some more small cards.
Su Yi walked leisurely, savoring snacks while strolling around.
"Huh?" Among the many stalls, Su Yi saw a familiar figure, of course, a familiar figure from the game.
At an unpopular stall, a young pink-haired woman in strange clothes was lying on the table bored. On the stall were piles of CDs and idol-related items.
"Oh? Young man, do you want to take a look?" The man raised his head and greeted without any expectations.
Su Yi picked up the CD and looked at the name, "Bewitched like a Fool by Clara".
Ah this
It's a bit awkward, the kind that uses feet to dig out a three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment.
"Tsk!" As expected, she had seen this expression countless times, and Clara lay down again.
"Ahem." Su Yi eased the embarrassment and said, "Ms. Clara, I heard that you want to become the leader of a poison-type gym?"
Clara looked up in surprise and asked, "Huh? You knew? You are my fan?"
After all, this was an immature idea, and she had only revealed a little bit about it on her online social media platform. She had never expected that an independent idol who had only sold eight CDs would be able to meet her fans here.
"Well, I guess so." In order to keep the conversation going, Su Yi told a white lie.
"Hahaha, you have good taste!" Clara's mood instantly improved.
"Let's get to the point, Miss Clara. Are you really planning to become the Poison-type Gym Leader?" Su Yi asked seriously.
Clara asked in confusion, "What? Do you have a way for me to become a poison-type gym leader?"
"Have you heard of Ma Shide Martial Arts School?" Su Yi asked with a smile.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 52: Entrusted to the Centipede King, the Night of Restlessness (3100 words)
"Masted's martial arts school?" Clara was puzzled, not knowing what the connection was.
Su Yi was helpless. As a former champion, Mashide was a legendary figure who had won the Pokémon League championship for 18 consecutive years. No one has been able to break his record until now. He was also the master of the current champion Dandi who was admired by everyone. He was good at discovering people's talents and was a good teacher.
But nowadays, no one is interested in it. The martial arts school is deserted and no one comes to learn from it.
In the game, much later, Clara learned about Mashid's martial arts school from a late-night advertisement.
That’s right, the Clara in front of you is the protagonist’s senior sister in the Sword and Shield game’s Mashide Martial Arts School (she thinks so herself), but now she doesn’t even know where Mashide’s Martial Arts School is.
"You know Dan Emperor, right?" Su Yi said.
Clara nodded: "Who doesn't know this?"
"Ma Shide is the master of Emperor Dan."
"Huh?! Really?!" Clara said in surprise.
"You'll know if you search it." Su Yi spread his hands.
Clara searched for Ma Shide's information on her mobile phone with doubt, but after seeing the legendary experience and discovering Dan Di's talent, her eyes suddenly lit up.
"You mean to say that entering this martial arts gym to practice will allow me to become the leader of a poison-type gym?" Clara asked with interest.
Su Yi smiled and said, "This is just an opportunity. You need to make corresponding efforts to become what kind of person you want to be, just like Pokémon cannot evolve without training."
"I understand all these principles, but an opportunity is an opportunity." Clara said excitedly. No matter what, the title of Ma Shide's apprentice is better than being an independent idol that no one cares about.
"Okay, I'll help you sign up." Su Yi nodded.
"Wait! Sign me up? You are..." Clara realized now that she didn't know or understand the person in front of her at all.
"My name is Su Yi, and I'm also Ma Shide's apprentice." Su Yi introduced himself.
"In other words, you are a fellow disciple of Dan Emperor?" Clara looked Su Yi up and down.
"Yes." Su Yi nodded.
"Well, you should be very strong. Can I test your level?" Clara said with narrowed eyes.
Su Yi grinned and said, "I'm at your service any time!"
"Okay! Let's go to the battlefield!" Clara stood up and left.
Su Yi asked in confusion: "Are you not going to care about the stalls and the goods on them?"
Clara laughed at herself and said, “Now, I don’t even believe that anyone would want this thing.”
Clara obviously realized that Su Yi might have claimed to be her fan in order to recruit her into the gym, and since she had decided to embark on the path of becoming a gym leader, these things were no longer important.
"Since you are a fellow disciple of Dan Di, I will not show mercy." Clara chuckled, threw out the Poké Ball, and released her only Pokémon.
"Oh?" A Galar Slowpoke lay on the ground with a look of wisdom in its eyes.
Su Yi laughed. What could Slowpoke do? Slowpoke can't do anything. Clara is still very immature in training Pokémon.
"Then, I will send out the 'secret armor' of the martial arts school. Come on, disciple Bear, the first battle!" Su Yi sent out disciple Bear who was entrusted to him by Ma Shide.
"Lu!" Apprentice Bear came out with great momentum, then waved his fists to warm up, looking eager to try.
"Is it the secret weapon of your martial arts school?" Clara perked up.
"It's better to strike first! Slowpoke, use dissolving fluid!" Clara waved her fist.
Slowpoke opened its mouth and spat a ball of purple liquid at the bear apprentice.
"Use Yan Fan, dodge and attack directly!" Su Yi commanded.
"Lu!" The bear apprentice dodged the dissolving liquid nimbly, and with a flash, he chopped at the head of the Slowpoke with his arm covered in white light.
"Oh?" Slowpoke was stunned for a moment, then felt dizzy.
Su Yi was a little surprised: "You are quite stubborn? No, it's just that you are too slow."
"That's a good trick! Slowpoke, use Yawn!" Clara gritted her teeth.
Su Yi yelled, "Don't get hit! Go around it and avoid it!"
Slowpoke turned its head and yawned at the bear apprentice behind it, but the bear apprentice reacted quickly and avoided the yawn.
"Use Yan Fan again!"
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the bear apprentice's attack was successful again.
"Oh" Slowpoke suddenly felt dizzy and staggered.
"It's too fast! Then use telekinesis!" Clara said anxiously.
"The Psychic System can just restrain Disciple Bear's Fighting System, but, Mu Da Da! Disciple Bear sees through it!" Su Yi smiled confidently.
"Kalu!" The bear apprentice's eyes gleamed with brilliance. When the Slowpoke looked directly at the bear apprentice and wanted to catch it with telekinesis, the bear apprentice twisted his body and narrowly avoided the telekinesis' lock.
"It's over! Return of the Swallows!"
"Kalu!" Apprentice Bear flew forward and chopped out the Swallow Return with all his might.
"Oh" Slowpoke fainted on the ground, unable to fight.
"I didn't hit his Pokémon at all, and I only used two moves." Clara was stunned and took back Slowpoke.
In fact, it was because Clara lacked combat experience, and Slowpoke was not strong enough. The battle scenes Su Yi had seen were all bigger than this one, so he was completely calm and handled it with ease.
In addition, Su Yi has experience in hunting in the game and has been adventuring in the New World for some time. He is much better at controlling timing on the battlefield.
"Haha!" The bear apprentice was very happy. He turned his head, looked at Su Yi and stretched out his hand.
Su Yi smiled and high-fived it, then encouraged it: "Well done!"
"Cluck! Cluck!" Apprentice Bear said something anxiously.
Su Yi looked at Lu Cao, and the cat scratched its ears and said uncertainly: "Apprentice Bear seems to be saying that he wants to go on an adventure with you meow, um, that should be the case meow."
"Sorry, sorry!" Su Yi squatted down, looked at his apprentice Xiong, and said, "I ignored your feelings. The adventure ahead may be hard and dangerous, so be prepared."
"Lu!" Apprentice Xiong made an encouraging gesture.
"Okay!" Su Yi said with a smile.
"Brother Su Yi," Clara said awkwardly, "When can I enter the martial arts hall to practice?"
"No rush, you want to become the poison-type gym leader, right?" Su Yi said, taking out a capture ball.
"Yes, because the poison type fits my image very well and I like it too." Clara nodded.
In fact, there is another reason. You think that the poison system is unpopular, has fewer competitors, and is easier to succeed.
Su Yi complained secretly.
"Since you have chosen the poison system, I wonder if this guy will accept you?" Su Yi opened the capture ball and released the Centipede King.
"Guga!" As soon as the Centipede King appeared, he looked at Su Yi with some annoyance.
"I'm sorry, Centipede King. I've actually been thinking about how to place you. I originally wanted to release you back to the forest in the interior of Galar, but now, you have a new choice."
"This is Clara. Your goal is to become a Poison-type Gym Leader. You basically have no chance of fighting with me, but if you follow her, you can become stronger by challenging different opponents."
Su Yi said: "She may not be mature in combat right now and may have some minor flaws, but she has a talent for poison. It's up to you to decide what to do."
Clara said angrily, "It's okay to be immature, but what do you mean by a little problem?"
The Centipede King looked down at Clara and fell into thought. For it, fighting every day and then monopolizing food was a daily routine. So, why not go outside and see the wider world and challenge stronger opponents?
"Guga." The Centipede King nodded, then picked up the capture ball from Su Yi's hand and handed it to Clara.
"Are you going to entrust such a powerful Pokémon to me like this?" Clara said in surprise.
"You have to take good care of it and try to win its approval," Su Yi said.
