Even the gifts brought to Adam and others were discussed by the two of them.
Lucia seemed to enjoy the teasing name "Lyu Teacher" more and more, and when she received the sky blue feather hair accessories as a surprise gift, her happy expression did not seem fake.
on the other hand.
Although Adam and Mikoli acted extremely calm when accepting the gifts, the old butler, who was worried that Kashiwagi would be depressed, privately and ruthlessly exposed the two people's behavior of treasuring the gifts.
The expensive red wine bought for Adam was placed in the only safe in the wine cellar.
The famous painting bought for Mikoli, a portrait of Menas, was hung in the most conspicuous place in his room that night.
This made Kashiwagi very happy.
There is nothing more touching than feeling appreciated for a gift you carefully selected.
The next morning.
On the table.
Mikoli gave him an unexpected commission.
"I have to go on a long trip for the next week. Can you take my place as the temporary gym leader and welcome the challengers?"
"what?"
Kashiwagi subconsciously glanced at Adam who was sitting at the main seat. The latter didn't say a word but was just eating breakfast elegantly.
"Are you willing to accept it? Identity is not a problem. I can just send an email to the Alliance and they will send back the temporary gym owner certificate. Just give it to Sebastian to handle."
Mikoli smiled and said, "I know you want to concentrate on preparing for the grand celebration, but there won't be too many challengers...
"You can treat it as a battle to change your mood after practicing hard. You often go out to find trainers in Liuli City, right?"
"it is good."
After thinking for a moment, he looked at Adam again, and seeing that he still had no objection, he nodded in agreement.
It was indeed as Mikoli said, in order to speed up the cooling of the simulator, he often went out to find people to fight with. Being able to move the battle venue to the gym actually saved him the effort of going out to find people.
but……
"Do I need to use the Pokémon in the gym? This is a water-attribute gym, right?" Kashiwagi only has the water-attribute Mienshao. He can't use all of them, right?
Mikoli smiled and said, "It's okay to use your own Pokémon. You can just defeat your opponent directly without having to worry about issuing any badges."
Because the number is enough...
Kashiwagi complained secretly, turned around and saw Lukia yawning and the sleepy Tanabata Bluebird walking in together.
"Good morning~"
The little girl with long blue hair waved hello.
Without having to rush to attend announcements recently, Lukia's daily routine has gradually returned to normal.
He told her about his role as temporary gym leader.
Lucia's eyes immediately sparkled with stars, and she said excitedly:
"Eh? Really? Really? Kashiwagi, are you going to be the next Liuli Gym Leader?"
"…It's the temporary gym leader. Mikoli-san has to go out for something."
Kashiwagi said helplessly.
"That's it."
Lukia instantly regained her composure and said with a smile, "But being the gym leader should be a very interesting experience. Come on~!"
Mikoli, who was sitting diagonally opposite, had sweat on his forehead and his mouth was twitching, and Adam's hand holding the cup of black tea was shaking a little.
Theoretically, Lukia is the third generation of the Liuli Gym, and the legitimate successor in the future. What does it mean that she is so excited to hear that someone will become the master of the Liuli Gym?
And give people some encouragement...
Can you have a sense of crisis?
Unfortunately, for a coordination trainer who is completely obsessed with the gorgeous competition and idol career, the position of gym leader is not attractive at all.
all in all.
With Mikoli's commission, Adam's acquiescence, and Lukia's encouragement.
A new generation of Liuli Gym Leader is born.
As soon as the news was released, it caused an uproar in Liuli City.
You know, the position of the master of the Liuli Gym has always been an important inheritance passed down from master to apprentice among the Liuli people. Now, suddenly a winner of the Mikoli Cup appears to serve as the temporary master?
what is this?
After years of relocation and migration, most citizens of Liuli City have nothing to do with the people of Liuli, but there are still some people who are pure Liuli people.
They were also the group with the biggest reaction.
Kashiwagi was quite worried about Mikoli and Adam's stance.
The latter two will naturally not cancel their decision due to outside discussions, and may not even react much to it. But as people of Liuli, if they insist on having their own way, will it affect their status among the people of Liuli?
He really didn't want the two of them to be implicated because of him.
Unexpectedly, when Kashiwagi was thinking about what he could do, all the public opinion and controversy caused by him disappeared.
It's not that the alliance came out to cover their mouths.
Instead, all the people of Liuli accepted the fact that he was the temporary owner.
The reason was that they had met once before, and the old man Gangzang, who was the most senior among the current Liuli people, stood up and stated the important identity of Kashiwagi as the inheritor of the Meteor People.
And the ancient covenant that the people of Meteor and Glass would always be as close as one family.
did not expect.
The connection between these two ancient ethnic groups is even closer than Kashiwagi thought, so close that as long as he is the inheritor of the Meteor People, he can become the master of the Liuli Gym.
No wonder he was taken to the deepest part of the Awakening Temple by Gangzang as soon as he arrived to witness the main artery of this planet with his own eyes.
The negative storm dissipated.
Instead, the people of Liuli had a curiosity that was like a rebound. They continued to learn about Kashiwagi through various channels, and many trainers applied to challenge the Liuli Gym.
Most of them were rejected by the old butler Sebastian.
Liuli Gym that has fulfilled the badge mission can limit the number of challengers. This is a privilege given by the Alliance to diligent gym owners.
But there were still three people who became new challengers and were scheduled to take the test at 1:00 p.m. on each of the three days.
Kashiwagi also soon welcomed the first day as a trainer of the Glass People.
"Come on! Kashiwagi! Come on!"
"Chulu! Chulu!"
In the audience, Lucia, dressed as a cheerleader, was cheering with joy.
When the public opinion storm was raging, she, who stood firmly on the side of her beloved disciple, planned to cause trouble to some people offline, but was stopped by Kashiwagi at all costs.
After all, she is an idol of a glamour contest, so why would she personally go on stage? Will her fans still want her?
She had no choice but to express her attitude through cheering.
Chairman of the museum.
Kashiwagi gave Rukia a thumbs up, then looked at the challenger who called himself Yohei and said, "Welcome to the Rukia Gym. Are you ready?"
The gym leader has the power to retrieve the records of the challenger's previous challenges to the gym. After looking at them, he found that this person had participated in the Hoenn League Conference five years ago and made it to the top eight?
People who have achieved good results in the tournament can actually challenge the gym again. The rules of the alliance are really strange.
"I've been prepared for a long time! But you, this is your first time as a gym leader. Can you encourage challengers and criticize their mistakes?"
The Liuli people, Yohei, a dark-skinned young man from the sea, looked at him triumphantly.
"Please wait and see."
Kashiwagi didn't say much and raised his hand towards the old butler in the referee's seat, "Please!"
The old butler nodded and said loudly:
"The Glazed Gym Battle begins now... Each side can use three Pokémon... Only the challenger can exchange Pokémon! The match begins!"
"Go! My beloved general!"
Yohei threw the Poké Ball forward.
boom!
White light flashes.
A dark figure fell into the water and slowly floated up.
"Wow!"
The shark, which had an exceptionally ferocious appearance but no tail, looked at Kashiwagi with a cold gaze.
Megalodon, a vicious Pokémon, is known as the bully of the sea. Its teeth that can bite through steel plates are the nightmare of many ships.
Yohei said loudly, "It seems that you even changed the rules of the gym? Shouldn't it be doubles first and then singles, with a total of five Pokémon sent out?"
"Hahaha, I personally prefer the singles approach."
Kashiwagi returned the favor with a smile. Gym owner is not someone who needs to serve with a smile, but if there is a complaint from a challenger it won't be so easy to resolve.
He certainly didn't want to add a few fines to Liuli Gym during his tenure as gym leader.
As for changing the rules...
To be frank, after reading Yohei's information, he was afraid that this guy would become autistic because of the doubles match.
Although playing singles will still make you feel autistic.
boom!
The Poké Ball is turned on.
"Milo~"
The Misty Soul fell into the pool and saw the Megalodon with a murderous look on its face opposite. Instead of being afraid, it looked excited.
