Chapter 95: Challenging the Stone Bridge Gym

Yojie looked at the time and found that it was only 9:18 pm. His parents should not be asleep at this time.

Thinking that he had not called his parents to report his safety for a long time, Yojie called the phone at home directly.

Soon, the call was connected.

"Son, how are you doing recently? Have you eaten on time? Have you encountered any danger? I recently heard that a traveling trainer in Honglian Island was killed." The video directly showed the appearance of Hoshino Sachiko.

"Mom, everything is fine. I eat on time, and I usually walk on the main road without any danger." Yojie said to Hoshino Sachiko.

"Oh, that's good, remember son, don't learn from others to like to go to the uninhabited area, it's very dangerous there." Hoshino Sachiko said to Yojie.

"Mom, I know." Yojie said to Hoshino Sachiko.

"Son, where are you now?" Hoshino Sachiko asked Yojie.

"Mom, I have walked to Shiqiao City, and then to Jinhuang City, and then to Caihong City, and then I will go home in mid-April." Yojie said to Hoshino Sachiko.

"Really? That's great." said Sachiko Hoshino.

"What's great?" At this time, Shigeki Hoshino's voice came from the other end of the video.

"My son said he will be home in April this year, two months away." said Sachiko Hoshino.

"Really? Son, are you telling the truth?" Shigeki Hoshino said to Yosuke.

"Yes, Dad. I will challenge the Ishibashi City Gym tomorrow, and then challenge two more gyms and then return to Honglian Island to challenge Honglian Gym. Then I will be able to participate in this year's Quartz Tournament." Yosuke said to Shigeki Hoshino.

"Well, son, you follow your own steps, don't rush. If you challenge the gym, just work hard, even if you can't pass it, it doesn't matter, you are still very young. Honglian Island has not had a trainer participate in the Quartz Tournament in the first year of his journey." Shigeki Hoshino said to Yosuke.

"Dad, I know. But it's hard to say what the ranking of the Quartz Tournament will be, but I still have the qualifications to participate in the main competition." said Yosuke.

"Then I will wait for my son to come home with eight badges!" Shigeki Hoshino said to Yosuke.

"Don't worry, Dad, I will definitely work hard. By the way, Dad, how is your family recently?" Yang Jie asked about the family situation.

"My family is doing well recently. And I heard that the alliance is now vigorously supporting the economic development of Honglian Island. Recently, many people have come to Honglian Island to take a hot spring bath. I plan not to rush to repay the loan, but to use the three million alliance coins you gave me to expand the hot spring at home and build a few more hot spring pools. What do you think?" Xingye Zhihe said to Yang Jie.

"That's good, Dad." Yang Jie thought that in the next few years, Honglian Island will be famous for its hot springs in the Kanto region, and even the reputation of Hualan Gym will be completely overshadowed.

When Xiaozhi and the others went to Honglian Island, they had to search for a long time before they found Xia Bo, the owner of Hualan Gym, to challenge Honglian Gym.

And at that time, when they wanted to take a hot spring bath on Honglian Island, it was basically full, so Yang Jie fully supported the family to expand the hot spring hotel.

"Well, I think so too. Recently, more and more people have come to Honglian Island to take a hot spring bath." Xingye Zhihe said to Yang Jie.

"Dad, if you have money, expand it all! Dad, I've also heard Professor Oak say that the hot springs on Cinnabar Island will be fully promoted by the alliance. There will definitely be no loss in the future." Yosuke directly brought out the great god Professor Oak.

"Professor Oak has said that, okay, I'll go to the Cinnabar Island Alliance tomorrow to see if I can buy more land in the back mountain. Then I'll build a high-end hot spring hotel." Hoshino Shihe immediately became ambitious after hearing this.

After Yosuke chatted with his family for a while, he hung up the phone.

"Yosu, does your family run a hot spring hotel?" Yamada asked Yosuke.

"Yes, but it has only been open for a few years. I became a trainer because my family's financial situation is better." Yosuke said.

"Then when we go to Cinnabar Island to challenge the gym, we can go to your house to experience it." Yamada said.

"Let's talk about it later. Let's go get the Poké Ball first!" Yosuke said to Yamada.

Then the two of them directly retrieved their Poké Balls from Miss Joy, and then booked two rooms at the Poké Center and went to rest.

Although you can sleep every day in the wild, it is still the most reassuring to sleep in a place where humans live.

No words were spoken all night.

The next morning, after Yosuke and Yamada had breakfast.

Yosuke went to the Pokémon Mall in Shiqiao City.

After such a long journey, the Pokémon food he bought before is almost gone.

Of course, Yamada also transferred this month's food expenses to Yosuke last night.

Although the two are now friends, one thing is one thing, and Yosuke is not obliged to help Yamada raise Pokémon for free.

And Yamada doesn't care about this living expense at all. Besides, Yosuke's food expenses are more than this price if he takes it out.

At the beginning, Yamada said that it was 10,000 per person and 30,000 per Pokémon per month.

Now Yamada has four Pokémons, so a total of 130,000 Alliance coins were transferred to Yosuke's card.

In this way, there are 5.94 million Alliance coins in Yosuke's card.

Now as the strength of the elves increases, the energy required in the energy blocks has become more, and correspondingly, the food expenses have skyrocketed.

Now, with Yosuke's five elves and Yamada's four elves, the average cost of energy block materials for each elf's meal is 200 Alliance coins.

Of course, the main reason for this is that the three elves, Frog, Onix and Kokodora, have reached advanced strength.

Elves with advanced strength can already try to mix some ingredients of intermediate energy blocks into energy blocks.

In this way, each meal costs 200, and a meal for seven elves costs 1,400 Alliance coins, a day costs 5,200 Alliance coins, and a month costs 156,000 Alliance coins.

In addition, the material cost of Yosuke and Yamada's food for a month is 4,000 Alliance coins.

In this way, the monthly living expenses alone require 160,000 Alliance coins.

In addition, Yosuke also bought some energy block materials of other attributes, so that he can get something when he meets a suitable elf. These materials cost nearly 10,000 Alliance coins.

After that, Yosuke spent 220,000 Alliance coins to buy a piece of intermediate non-melting ice in the elf mall.

The piece of non-melting ice that was exchanged in Changpan City has been absorbed by the mosquito frog, and the effect is not bad. Now the power of the mosquito frog's ice skills has been improved to a certain extent.

After absorbing the intermediate non-melting ice once, the effect of absorbing it for the second time is not as good as the first time, and it has no effect at all the third time.

However, even so, Yang Jie still bought a piece of intermediate non-melting ice. As for the advanced non-melting ice, it requires elite-level strength to absorb it.

Fortunately, there are four large snow-capped mountains not far away from Shiqiao City, so the price of non-melting ice is also tens of thousands of alliance coins less than other places.

After that, Yang Jie spent another 600,000 alliance coins to buy four mysterious water drops. Now three of Yang Jie's five elves are water elves, so the consumption of mysterious water drops is relatively large.

In this way, Yang Jie directly consumed 990,000 alliance coins.

Instantly, the balance was reduced to 4.85 million.

This once again made Yang Jie sigh how difficult it is to cultivate high-quality elves.

After buying things, Yang Jie and Yamada ate something at the elf center and went to the gym in Shiqiao City.

The Ishibashi City Gym is located on a plain grass field. Even the gym's house is covered with ivy. You don't need to ask to know that this is another feature of the Ishibashi City Gym.

Yosuke and Yamada walked to the door and asked the staff and then went directly to the No. 1 ring.

Yosuke walked in and saw that the gym trainer of Ishibashi City was already waiting there.

Yosuke looked and saw that it was a female trainer in her thirties.

"Hello, I am Yosuke Hoshino who made an appointment to challenge the gym today. I want to challenge the Ishibashi Gym." Yosuke said to the person opposite.

"Hello, I am Misato Natsukawa, the gym leader of Ishibashi City. I accept your challenge now." Misato Natsukawa said.

As Misato Natsukawa's voice fell, the ground in front of Yosuke began to separate, and then the battle ring began to rise from the ground.

Every time Yosuke saw the gym's ring appear, his eyelids jumped a little.

You should know that this kind of ring generally takes into account the digging skills of large Pokémon such as Onix, so the thickness of the ring cannot be low.

Moreover, there are several small stone mountains and a pool on this stage, which are obviously used for Pokémons with various attributes.

Therefore, it takes at least millions of Alliance coins to build such a stage, and the annual maintenance fee is not low.

Only the gym owner is qualified to spend so much money to build a gym.

"Now the gym challenge between Hoshino Yosuke of Honglian Island and Misato Natsukawa of Ishibashi Gym will be held. The Pokémons will be three-on-three. The challengers can change Pokémons freely, but the gym trainers cannot change Pokémons. Is there any problem?" After the referee finished explaining the rules, he asked Yosuke.

"No." Yosuke replied directly.

"Now please send out the Pokémons from the gym first." The referee said to Satomi Natsukawa.

"My Pokémon is it, Venusaur!" Satomi Natsukawa directly released the first Pokémon.

"Ah~!"

A Venusaur appeared on the stage.

Pokémon: Venusaur

Attributes: Grass + Poison

Features: Chlorophyll

Qualification: Green (61-70)

Level: Level 27

Yoji looked at the information of the Venusaur on the other side and began to choose his own Pokémon in his mind.

"Please release the Pokémon, challenger." The referee said to Yoji.

"In that case, you go on stage, Pidgeot!" Yoji released Pidgeot directly.

"Beep~!"

Pidgeot appeared directly in the air above the ring.
