The simulation did not display the level of the Pokémon being simulated, making it impossible for him to determine.
Even if it is shown, the strength required to challenge a gym in different timelines may not be the same, and there is even the possibility that the gym owner gave the badge out of pity.
He reached out for the phone on the bedside table and planned to search for relevant terms on some public social platforms.
The screen lights up.
"what?"
A new message filled his field of vision, and the sender...
"Dr. Yamanashi!"
Kashiwagi stood up suddenly, scaring the two Pokémon under and at the foot of the bed. The big-mouthed kid next door also came over, holding a rag doll and rubbing his eyes.
"Tsk?"
"It's okay, it's okay, go to sleep."
He coaxed the big-mouthed kid for a few words, then quickly comforted Kodara and Jigglypuff, then opened his phone and carefully read the reply signed by Dr. Yamanashi.
As a result, the other party's first sentence made him embarrassed.
What does "Children need to sleep well to grow up healthily, and it is wrong to play with mobile phones secretly in the middle of the night" mean?
But on second thought, I felt that this was normal.
Kashiwagi's written English has never been very good, which led the other party to mistake him for a child who stole his parents' phone. And because of the time zone difference, it was exactly midnight in Sinnoh when he sent the message.
Beautiful misunderstanding.
He looked down and found that the reply answered some questions in detail. The most concerned question was whether evolution would harm Pokémon in the short term. The answer was -
"No, evolution is a miracle and transition of life. Time will not affect the great power derived from genes."
As for when and under what circumstances it is easy to evolve, the reply stated that this is something that is difficult to say.
Pokémon are creatures that are easily affected by emotions.
therefore.
Often, particularly intense emotions can trigger miracles.
At the same time, natural evolution is also very common. As long as the level reaches a certain level, even sleeping and eating can make the Pokémon evolve.
But hierarchy is not a shackle on evolution.
The reply gave several examples, including the difference between the evolution of the Caterpie at low and high levels...
At last.
It mentioned that he greatly admired Kashiwagi's courage to ask questions and his motivation to learn, and apologized for not being able to respond for a long time.
He also said that if there was something he didn't understand, he hoped he would have the courage to ask the teacher, and work hard at school to learn more knowledge. One day in the future, he was welcome to come to Yuhong University to listen to his open classes.
Or you can go to his research institute, receive a new Pokémon, become a trainer and embark on a journey, which is also a very good idea.
They even left contact information such as phone and email.
"It seems like I was really mistaken for an elementary school student..."
Baimu read it haltingly, with a helpless look on his face.
But was it really Dr. Yamanashi who responded to him, or was it one of his assistants?
He shook his head to clear his mind.
What is more important right now is tomorrow's game.
Kashiwagi turned sideways and gently touched Kodora's head. "It seems that my judgment is correct... Kodora, I look forward to the moment when you grow up."
"call……"
Kodora's breathing was slow and heavy.
Chapter 88 Mental Hedge
The sun was blazing.
The quarter-finals slowly began.
When Kashiwagi set out, almost all the Quicksand team members who saw him cheered him on, and when they arrived at the Pyrite Arena, there were countless people shouting that they must win.
He knew very well that a large part of these guys regarded him as a cash cow that could make them rich overnight.
I heard that many underground casinos adjust their odds to extreme levels in order to create a hot atmosphere and attract bets, thus attracting a large number of people to buy.
Behind these underground gambling houses are exactly the players who are currently in the top eight.
Everyone is gearing up to reap the benefits today. Every year there are fools who are deceived and gamble until they are on the verge of bankruptcy, but every year there are fools who continue to gamble.
Everyone is eyeing those one or two lucky people who become rich overnight, hoping to replicate their achievements in their own lives.
I have no idea what survivor bias is.
Kashiwagi neither sympathizes nor wants to pity these people. He only fights for himself. Whether he wins or loses, he just wants to do justice to himself and Kodora.
No matter how ugly the defeat is, as long as you fight until the last moment and don’t give up, you are a winner!
"hiss--"
He took a slow, deep breath, walked through the rusty passage, broke through the white light at the exit that seemed to represent the way forward, and rushed into the loudly cheering stadium.
Today's opponent Shan Min is already in position, wearing a sports suit, with a peaceful smile on his face and outstanding temperament.
"Please welcome our much anticipated dark horse, the rising star of the Quicksand Team, an expert at defeating the strong with the weak - Kashiwagi!!"
The host's voice echoed clearly above the stadium, causing a cheer.
That's ridiculous.
Kashiwagi curled his lips, feeling that the host was telling lies with open eyes in order to arouse the audience's enthusiasm, talking about the center of attention and the rising star.
It does have the Japanese character of bragging.
Forget it.
Regardless of that.
Kashiwagi held the Poké Ball in his hand, ready to go, waiting for the red light.
Shan Min seemed a little hesitant, and he took out several Poké Balls before deciding on the final one. Judging from the dark color, he seemed to have all the Poké Balls in his hand.
"The competition is about to begin. Kashiwagi and Yamaminor are both ready. Speaking of Yamaminor, we must once again mention his brilliant resume. He is the same age as Kashiwagi and has already challenged three regional league tournaments, and achieved excellent results each time."
The host, who was so enthusiastic just now, suddenly changed his tone, as if introducing some important person, "Now he has returned from other regions and specially participated in our Yellow Iron Arena Battle Tournament to test the strength of the trainers in Yellow Iron Town.
"I hope that all the contestants can perform at their best and show their style in front of contestant Shan Minoru! Now let me introduce the special guests who have come all the way from Sibo City..."
Then there is a long list of names.
The audience has long been accustomed to it. Every time Shan Min competes, the host will deliberately say this, like chanting a mantra before the game.
According to the investigation of some interested people, this man seems to have a close relationship with the mayor. It is said that the mayor warmly entertained Shan Ren who had just arrived in Huangtie Town. It was extremely grand and resembled the scene of the annual inspection by the tax officials in Sibo City.
From this perspective, Shan Min is indeed someone that ordinary people cannot afford to offend, so no one dares to target him for the time being.
Even the casino's odds have been adjusted to match its strength.
Kashiwagi naturally knew all this.
But compared to the other party's background, he cares more about his strength.
drop--
The planned red light finally arrived.
Kashiwagi took a deep breath, and when the green light came on, he suddenly rushed forward and threw the Poké Ball forward.
boom!
The white light fell to the ground and turned into a light pink egg.
"lucky!"
Jigglypuff ran forward with a slightly nervous expression.
Although it was the first time for him to start, he was very clear about the impact a bad start would have on the entire situation.
Don't hold your companions back.
It was thinking and looking into the distance, but it was stunned by the Pokémon released by its opponent - it was not any of the Pokémon that Kashiwagi had shown it.
What's going on? Is the strategy going to fail?
"Calm down, follow the plan, and place the invisible rock!"
Kashiwagi's voice reached Jigglypuff's ears, and the latter's originally restless mood immediately calmed down a lot.
It raised its two small hands, attracting countless soil, sand and dust to condense into rocks shrouded in white light. They scattered all over the venue like raindrops, and then disappeared silently.
During this time, Kashiwagi looked at the opponent's Pokémon——
A cute humanoid cat with blue and white fur and folded ears.
A Pokémon that suppresses Psychic attributes, Psychic Mew.
This Pokémon was used for the first time by Shan Minoru, and it was not on the intelligence file that Flopo gave to Kashiwagi, so he had to change the planned tactics according to the situation on the spot.
"Reflection Wall."
Shan Min looked at the invisible rocks disappearing around him, seemingly not caring at all, and gave orders very calmly.
The eyes of the running Catwoman suddenly lit up with blue light, and a layer of pink barrier suddenly unfolded in front of her, and then disappeared quietly like an invisible rock.
Baimu felt a little depressed when he saw this.
Both of his Pokémon are good at physical attacks, and special attacks are just auxiliary means. Although it is not clear how much this reflection wall can reduce physical attack, it is unlikely to be too low.
It’s so uncomfortable not knowing how to split tiles!
The two sides were approaching each other rapidly, and in a short while, only ten meters were left between them.
This distance is just enough for any long-range Pokémon to accept it and think that its moves can hit the target.
Kashiwagi and Yamaminoru undoubtedly had the same idea.
