Chapter 443: Summary of the First Year and the Competition System of the Hoenn Tournament
Zhou You was slacking off at the Pokémon Center in Jihua City.
“Is it really okay to be so relaxed? Qiao Qiao, aren’t you going to attend the Hoenn Tournament too?” Eden felt helpless about the other party who was not nervous at all. He didn’t bother to care about the newcomers from other regions.
“I’ll go there after things are done here. Anyway, I can collect badges a little later, but it’s still in time.”
“That’s true.”
It also felt that those gym leaders were not difficult for him. As a trainer who had already obtained eight badges once, he would not be unable to pass the gym when he went to a new region.
It’s not like his level was reset to level 5.
Zhou You smiled but said nothing. Maybe there really was a trainer who was beaten back to his original form after changing to a new region?
“Speaking of which, the departure date of Ruoye Town and Pallet Town is the same day. Until now, I still can’t believe that I have spent my first year as a new trainer.”
He lay on the sofa in the Pokémon Center with Zoroark in his arms, his eyes full of nostalgia and sighs.
"I seem to have done something this year, but I also seem to have done nothing?"
"Ah? Qiao Qiao, are you confused?"
Eden complained with a confused look on his face, and then he summarized the other party's achievements in the past year:
"Winning the tournament, being a doctor's assistant, learning the one-hit flow, curing Pokémon with genetic defects... developing characteristic capsules, awakening milk candies, experience candies, Z pure crystals, imitation sachets and other messy things, and feeding several Pokémon groups by farming, and you say you haven't done anything?"
The most outrageous thing is that these are not even all of Zhou You's experiences and achievements. There are also feats such as helping the international police to destroy the Rocket Team and challenging the champion (although lost).
It thinks that if new trainers are also divided into levels, its own trainer can definitely be rated as a "legend" based on this year's experience!
Zhou You thought about it, and it was indeed as the other party said, but it always felt that it was still a little inadequate.
After all, it is still missing a "one-year champion".
Although winning the Quartz Conference qualified him to challenge the Champions League, Zhou You still thinks he is still a little short of it, and...
"I haven't decided who the 6th player of the team will be yet. I can't really listen to Zekrom's advice and bring Groudon back as a weatherman, right?"
Calling himself a player of the Sunny Team, it's ridiculous that Zhou You doesn't have a reliable Sunny Team player now.
Common Sunny Team players include Y-Spray, Six/Ninetails, Big/Small Coal Turtle, and Gulton from a billion years ago.
Ninetails is really hard to describe as a Sunny Team player. Although Coal Turtle is strong, it has limitations in reality——
[Coal Turtle, a coal Pokémon. It fights with the energy generated by burning charcoal. It becomes listless when the fire weakens. It burns a lot of coal during battle. If the coal is burned out, the body will become unable to move. 】
This Pokémon fights with inefficient fuel... In other words, it has the defect of "insufficient endurance" when facing other weathermen that use their own energy.
After all, there is only so much coal that can be stuffed into the tortoise shell. If the fuel problem can be solved, it will turn back into the perfect sunny hand.
As for other elves that are suitable for sunny hands due to their affinity with fire energy, Entei, Platy-billed Flame Beast, Fire Steel, Vulcan Moth...
In short, it is very difficult to choose.
"If it doesn't work, fly to Padiya to find Gulton. I think you like it very much." Eden stretched his waist speechlessly, "Really, you haven't recovered from your obsessive-compulsive disorder for a year."
It's even worse than before. It took Arthur only four months to evolve from a small dragon to a fire-breathing dragon, and the young tit hatched nine months ago has not evolved into a blue jay yet.
Zhou You naturally understood what the other party meant: "It has great potential. It is really helpful to evolve after fully growing at each stage."
It is worth mentioning that the young tit, which was once nicknamed "cub" and "filial son", finally protested against the two uncool names after its IQ improved, and then got a formal name-Qinling Tianzun Iron Claw Invincible Howling Wind Soul-grabbing Multi-hair Xiangpeng Marshal!
It thinks it sounds awesome!
After returning from training, Leafeon also decided on its name, Qingming, when filling out the registration form for an amateur competition.
At first, Zhouyou actually wanted to call it "Qinglu" or "Yezi" (and Yelu), but under the strong protests of Qinglu, Yezi and Eden, Eden gave it a name that is homophonic with the sword "Qingming".
Leafeon was very satisfied with this, and he didn't know who was its trainer.
Zhouyou: Yelu is obviously a good name.
In any case, as a family member, you have to have a name.
"By the way, the work agreed with Yashida is about to start."
In order to bring traffic after the battle frontier is built, Zhouyou needs to participate in the competitions arranged by the other party to gain fame and strive to become a star trainer.
At the beginning, he thought this was a good suggestion, and now it seems that Zhouyou, who will challenge the Hoenn Champion League this year, doesn't care even if he doesn't run it.
He will even have no shortage of money in the foreseeable future - after the completion of those research products that are comparable to plug-ins, the patent fees alone will be enough for him to be financially free.
But once there is too much money, it is just a number, so Zhou You plans to use his unused money to establish a foundation to protect elves.
He doesn't believe that he can't develop a urgently needed product like synthetic meat if he invests money without considering the return...
According to this calculation, there are still many things to be done this year, and it may even be busier than last year.
"Busy? Qiao Qiao? You?" Eden's expression immediately looked like an old man on the subway.
It felt that Qiao Qiao was always slacking off, so how could he have completed so many tasks without realizing it?
You are so good, Qiao Qiao, you said you would be bad, but you secretly won behind everyone's back.
"It's not that I want to win." Zhou You showed off proudly, "I would like to call it efficient."
But there is no Colossus to smash him here... maybe the black and white dragons can barely be considered.
Even Reshiram has to admit that Zhou You's mysterious and efficient productivity. At present, he has almost laid all the foundations. In the later stage, he can use those products to cultivate Pokémon in batches and efficiently, and even serve trainers all over the world.
Green: How about you be the trainer?
Eden turned over with his tongue sticking out. He obviously had a shortcut but didn't take it.
What he cares about most now is the competition system of this year's Hoenn Conference.
Due to the example of the Quartz League (in fact, there were also many criticisms from the trainer community), the Hoenn League also made changes to the competition system of this tournament.
Unlike the Quartz Conference, the Hoenn region chose to gradually relax the 4-move limit, that is, --
[Moves do not need to be reported in advance, but except for moves that do not count in the rules (such as collisions), each Pokémon can use up to 4 moves in a battle. ]
But in addition to this, the Hoenn League also opened up rules similar to the "connection moves" in "Rescue Team Red/Blue" --
[Before the battle, the trainer can set a connection move for the Pokémon, such as A connected to B. When the Pokémon uses it in succession, the B move is not counted in the upper limit of the number of moves. ]
This is probably a convenience provided by the people of the Hoenn region who love the gorgeous competition for the coordinated trainers with weaker combat power but higher skill in moves...
