The light of evolution that is brighter than the Light Stone shines from Pokémon's body.
Togekiss has an egg-shaped body that is covered in white fuzzy fur and has broad triangular wings.
Its lower abdomen is covered with red and blue triangular spots, and the spikes on the front of its head form a crest divided into three bundles of feathers, namely red, white and blue.
Compared to Pokémon, Pokémon Go is twice as big.
Just as Pokkis was about to lie on Zhuang Xian's head like he did before his evolution, Zhuang Xian staggered under the sudden weight.
Fortunately, his many years of military experience allowed him to keep his balance before he fell.
Seeing that Pokkiss looked worried and pitiful, Zhuang Xian smiled and comforted it before putting it back into the Poké Ball.
Zhuang Xian twisted his neck and said helplessly: "Given its current size and weight, I'm afraid it can no longer stay on my head."
It was said like an old father complaining that he could no longer interact with his grown daughter.
The stone of light that Hua Jianming presented to Zhuang was the only stone of light he had.
Unlike the Sun Stone which has a vein of minerals, this Light Stone was a monthly reward drawn during the monthly draw period in the System 1.0 era.
There are not many Pokémon that can use the Light Stone. Currently, there are only four Pokémon known: Pokémon, Pokémon, Pokémon, and Pokémon.
Therefore, this stone of light has been kept in the system warehouse by Hua Jianming and has been gathering dust.
Now that he can finally use it, Hua Jianming can't help but feel a little emotional.
However, as Zhuang Xian was the person who had the greatest hope of becoming his brother-in-law, and also the future leader of the alliance, Hua Jianming did not feel that he had lost out on this Stone of Light.
Besides, the question of whether you make a profit or not is of little value in the face of family and friendship.
How much is a piece of light stone worth?
Hua Jianming suddenly made a tactical retreat. Is this what it feels like to be a rich person?
When Hua Jianming and Zhuang Xian returned to the living room, Meng Dazheng and Chi Baixia were having a pleasant conversation.
"Establishing a gym is a very tedious matter. Whether it is the location of the gym, the style of the building, the staffing, the design of the badge, the setting of the gym battle rules, etc., all of these require the gym owner to consider."
"But what I didn't expect was that Master Chi had already built the gym ahead of time. If Master Chi is free later, please take me to visit the newly built gym. If you confirm that there is no problem, I will give you the gym qualifications."
Meng Dazheng took out a certificate with an official seal, which was exactly the dojo qualification he mentioned.
"No problem, if referee Meng is okay we can go now."
As a group of elves ran, Chi Baixia led everyone to his water gym - Xianlin Gym.
As soon as you enter the gate of Xianlin Gym, you will see a long and wide underwater tunnel. It is a glass-sealed passage that travels through the water, just like walking in the sea.
"The glass in this tunnel is made of white transparent glass made from volcanic ash produced in the Southeast Asian Alliance. It can withstand attacks from elves below the King level and is the best quality glass material on the market."
The introduction was done by Chi Baixia, the owner of the water gym. Although he did not participate in the purchase of materials, he almost participated in the construction of the entire gym, and every detail contained his hard work.
When you walk into the underwater tunnel and look up, you can see all kinds of elves swimming in it.
In addition to the more common Pokémon like Magikarp, Gadgete, and Shellder, there are also rare Pokémon like Squirtle, Slowpoke, and Hippocampus.
The most eye-catching ones are undoubtedly the two Milotic that emit charming auras in the dim light.
Some of these elves are illustrated elves captured by Xia Chan, some are supported by the Xianlin District Government, and some are provided by the breeding house.
"It is worth mentioning that these elves are all green-qualified elves."
Walking inwards and upwards along the tunnel, you will see many large stone-paved pools lined up on both sides of the road where the sun shines.
Some angelica trees are also planted beside the pool.
"The theme of the Fairy Forest District has always been the peaceful coexistence of humans and elves, so we built some temporary residences for the elves here. By crossing these pools, the elves can reach a river that runs across the Jiangxin Peninsula."
Chi Baixia kept introducing this carefully built Xianlin Dojo to Meng Dazheng.
Regarding Chi Baixia's mention of the purpose of Xianlin District, Su Mao in the crowd felt very happy after seeing Meng Dazheng write it down in his notes.
Several people continued to walk inside along the stone road. The ground further inside was paved with blue glass. Through the blue glass, they could clearly see the flowing water and various elves below.
Until they reached the end, a battle stage with a very artistic atmosphere and unique personality appeared before everyone.
"The construction of this battle arena simulates the battle environment that water-type Pokémon are familiar with to the greatest extent possible. 70% of the area is water, 20% is mud, and the remaining 10% is grass."
"There aren't many spectator seats around here. At most, they can accommodate two hundred people at a time to watch the gym challenge. Behind the battle stage are some lounges, restaurants, utility rooms, and the like."
It can be seen that Chi Baixia is very satisfied with his gym.
"To be honest, the Xianlin Gym built by Gym Master Chi is probably the one with the highest quality, best planning, and most thoughtful design among all the gyms built or under construction in the alliance."
At this point, Meng Dazheng showed a hint of embarrassment on his face.
"But with all due respect, the construction of this Xianlin Gym has probably exceeded the amount of construction funds allocated by the alliance, and we may not be able to reimburse all of it."
Hearing this, Su Mao stepped forward.
"We will reimburse as much as we can, and the rest will be borne by Xianlin District itself."
Chi Baixia and Hua Jianming didn't feel anything about Su Mao's words, but it left a very good impression on Meng Dazheng.
"However, the design of this Xianlin Gym is indeed worthy of reference for other gyms. If you don't mind, I would like to report the detailed information of this Xianlin Gym to the alliance. The extra fees..."
Chapter 306: Gym Badges and Battle Rules
The extra expenses will naturally be reimbursed as tuition fees.
Although Meng Dazheng hadn't finished speaking, everyone present could hear what he meant.
After everyone finished visiting the Xianlin Dojo, Chi Baixia put the dojo qualifications delivered by Meng Dazheng into a frame and hung it on the wall at the entrance of the dojo.
This gym badge means that the gym is recognized by the alliance. The gym badge obtained by defeating the gym owner can be used for registration and review for the alliance competition.
After returning to the breeding house,
“The next step is staffing.”
Meng Dazheng is indeed the professional arranged by the alliance to help the new gym master build the framework.
Although it had only been a short time since they completed the gym assessment and Chi Baixia had only just obtained the gym qualifications, Meng Dazheng had already arranged the next steps step by step.
"Of course a gym cannot have only one gym trainer. There are also professional referees, gym apprentices, venue maintenance staff, logistics staff, etc."
Hua Jianming asked, "Does the gym staff have any special requests?"
Meng Dazheng glanced at Hua Jianming and knew that he was the big boss behind the scenes, so he answered seriously.
"Except for the referees, there are no special requirements for other staff. You can apply for the league to arrange, or you can recruit them yourself."
"As for referees, it's a little special. Only those who have participated in the professional referee assessment held by the alliance and obtained a professional referee certificate can participate in the judging of the gym challenge."
"In terms of numbers, there are two referees, ten gym apprentices, three venue maintenance staff, and five logistics staff. These are the staff configurations required for the gym, and their salaries are paid by the alliance."
"This is the minimum configuration requirement for gym staff. If the gym owner is not satisfied, he can recruit more staff. However, the salary of these extra staff will be borne by the gym owner himself."
"Of course, if you don't want to recruit by yourself, the alliance will also help you recruit suitable staff."
Meng Dazheng recounted all the points that needed to be said at once, and then looked at Hua Jianming, waiting for him to ask his questions.
Hua Jianming did have questions.
"I can understand everything else, but I don't quite understand this gym apprentice. What is the meaning of their existence?"
Meng Dazheng began to become serious: "Before answering this question, I want to explain to you the purpose of the gym's existence."
"A gym is a symbol of a city, or a city's military force. The gym owner is the representative of that force. The gym is not only responsible for assessing trainers, but also for helping the city deal with acts of destruction caused by trainers and wild Pokémon."
"This is also the reason why the alliance conducts gym assessments. If the gym trainers themselves do not have sufficient strength, they will not be able to fulfill their responsibilities and obligations."
"Gym apprentices are, in a certain sense, the gym master's 'soldiers'. The alliance will give them basic training funds, and the initial elf alliance will also arrange for them. The training is in the charge of the gym master. Correspondingly, they need to be trained in the gym. When the master is absent, he takes on the responsibility of the temporary gym owner, and he also needs to help the government deal with the city's problems when the gym master is at a loss."
Meng Dazheng's explanation was very detailed and everyone present understood it.
Hua Jianming had already considered the selection of apprentices for the gym. Since there was an alliance organization, he might as well give it to his own people.
Whether it is Du Dan and the other five little rascals, or Han Xin, Sakaki and Apollo, they are all ready-made candidates for gym apprentices.
"After discussing the staffing, the next thing to consider is the design of the badge."
"The badge is a certificate that a trainer obtains after successfully challenging a gym. It represents a gym and a city, and is one of the most important components of a gym."
"The badge can be designed by the gym owner himself, or it can be designed by the alliance. Of course, the final manufacturing is the responsibility of the alliance. The badge made by the alliance has a special anti-counterfeiting mark, which is difficult to be imitated."
Upon hearing this, Chi Baixia took out a blueprint from his pocket and handed it to Meng Dazheng.
"It seems that Gym Master Chi has already designed it. If the style is confirmed to remain unchanged, I will submit it to the alliance. From now on, all the badges of Xianlin Gym will be of this style and cannot be changed."
"Trouble with the referee."
Although Chi Baixia doesn't understand design, a badge is not like a building after all. A bad design will not pose any safety risks, at most it will just be a little ugly.
Therefore, Chi Baixia still wanted to have some sense of participation in the design of his own gym badge.
Chi Baixia's gym is a water gym, so this was fully taken into consideration when designing the badge.
The badge of Xianlin Gym is designed to be relatively simple. The overall badge is in the shape of a wavy fist and is named the Giant Wave Badge.
Hua Jianming looked at the badge style on the drawing and felt it was somewhat familiar. It looked very much like Swampert's fist.
As expected, the queen is the king.
"The last one is the gymnasium battle rules."
Even a battle-hardened person like Meng Dazheng would feel dry mouth after such a long period of uninterrupted introductions.
After taking a sip of tea, he looked at Chi Baixia and asked, "Can I ask what level Master Chi's strength has reached?"
"As for me, I should be considered a quasi-king-level trainer now."
Except for Hua Jianming and Zhuang Xian, two people who were more familiar with Chi Baixia, everyone present was surprised.
In fact, all information about Chi Baixia has long been known to the alliance examiner because of this gymnasium assessment.
So, at this age, is Chi Baixia considered the youngest quasi-king trainer in the league?
Everyone's eyes turned to Zhuang Xian. Now the records for the youngest quasi-elite trainer and the youngest elite trainer in the league are held by Zhuang Xian at the ages of 25 and 28.
At the age of 23, Chi Baixia has now broken the record of the league's youngest quasi-elite trainer. I wonder if he can break Zhuang Xian's record of the youngest elite trainer at the age of 28 in three years.
Zhuang Xian didn't feel anything about it.
The new generation pushes the old generation forward. If each generation is not better than the previous one, there is no need for the League to vigorously cultivate trainers.
