Chapter 207 What Was the Misunderstanding?

Looking at the still confused snow swallower, Mingzheng had no choice but to get up and move forward.

The talent of the snow swallower is very average. Unless it can evolve into a snow moth, it can have a good combat power.

But it is only good.

And if he remembers correctly, the way the snow swallower evolves is to evolve naturally when the intimacy reaches a certain level.

Intimacy is neither difficult nor easy, but for the snow swallower with a low IQ.

It is really difficult.

Therefore, unless the snow swallower has an exclusive hidden feature, ice scale powder, it is difficult to meet Mingzheng's current pet selection standards.

And the snow swallower clan protected by ice scale powder will have all special attack damage halved, which is a very powerful exclusive feature.

And the snow moth with this feature can be compared with the strongest insect system, the fire moth!

But the rarity is the same, extremely rare!

Mingzheng doesn't think he can hit the jackpot, and a snow swallower he meets on the road is a top-notch one.

This probability is probably only encountered by a little idiot.

He Mingzheng, no!

Shaking his head, Mingzheng continued to move forward, no longer paying attention to the Snow Swallow behind him.

Suddenly.

Mingzheng turned his head without warning and found that the Snow Swallow was no longer there.

He felt relieved, thinking that the Snow Swallow should be used to a free life and would not suddenly want to follow anyone.

But a trace of loss still appeared in Mingzheng's heart.

He turned his head and walked towards the Pokémon Center not far away.

And in the back, the white head of the Snow Swallow poked out from the crack of the room, and the black eyes looked at Mingzheng, wondering what it was thinking.

In the Pokémon Center, Miss Joy was dozing with her hands folded, and the Jigglypuff beside her was drooling and dreaming.

Dongdong~

Mingzheng knocked on the counter, and Miss Joy opened her eyes lazily.

"Trainer? Give me the Pokémon that needs to be restored, it will be ready soon~~" As he said that, he yawned again.

Mingzheng hesitated for a moment, but still handed over all the Poké Balls except the Deerhorn.

As if she could see Mingzheng's worry, Miss Joy patted Jigglypuff awake and added.

"Don't worry, I'm also certified."

Half an hour later, Miss Joy exchanged the fully recovered Pokémon with Mingzheng, and then prepared to lie down and sleep again.

Mingzheng hurriedly called her to stop and made way for a room.

There was no Devon Hotel in Xuefeng City, so staying at the Pokémon Center was Mingzheng's only choice.

After settling down, Mingzheng washed thoroughly, and then brought his companions to the Xuefeng Gym again.

Seeing that the door of the Xuefeng Gym was closed, Mingzheng could only go forward and knock on the door.

After a long time, someone slowly shouted that they were coming, and then opened a crack in the door.

The cold wind penetrated through the crack in the door, and the person who opened the door shivered with cold.

"What's the matter?"

"I'm the trainer Mingzheng, traveling to participate in the Sinnoh League Tournament, and I want to challenge your gym today."

Mingzheng said politely. Looking at the gym like this, there should be no need to make an appointment. Maybe he can get it done today and get the badge.

"Challenging the gym, how many badges have you obtained?"

The door opener tightened his coat and said casually.

"7, only one left!"

"7, that's fine... not quite good enough!"

The door opener was shocked, unconsciously stood up straight and serious, and then explained: "I'm really sorry, challenger, the gym owner is not here at the moment, so only the gym apprentices can accept trainers who have obtained less than four badges.

The battles above can only wait for the gym owner to come back, otherwise you can come tomorrow... or the day after tomorrow?"

Mingzheng frowned secretly. He came to Xuefeng City to fight quickly. If the gym owner is not here, it will be troublesome if it is delayed for a long time.

"Then I will make an appointment to challenge the gym. When will the gym owner come back?"

"This... tomorrow? Not the day after tomorrow? Or three days later!"

"Where is the gym owner? Why hasn't he come back for so many days? This doesn't comply with the rules of the alliance!"

Mingzheng retorted that the statement of no return date is completely irresponsible.

The gate opener was stumped. It often took a month or so for Xuefeng City to have no challengers. Those who came were mostly trainers who wanted to get badges by taking shortcuts, so most of them only had 2 to 3 badges, and there was no need for the gym owner to come out.

And his gym owner was probably still wandering in some unknown mountain at this time.

Skiing? Ice fishing? Snow camping?

God knows where he went!

"This challenger is really..."

"Challenger? I accept the gym challenge!"

At this moment, someone suddenly spoke behind Mingzheng.

He turned his head and saw a man wearing a full set of skiing equipment, with a lot of white snow on his trouser legs, and a snow demon girl holding a snowboard beside him, but she didn't seem to be struggling at all.

The skiing man walked forward, opened the door that was not fully opened, and made a gesture of invitation to Mingzheng.

"I'm the gym leader of Xuefeng Gym, Dingjiu! I just heard that you have collected 7 gym badges, is that right?"

"Yes, Xuefeng Gym is the 8th gym I want to challenge." Mingzheng answered and walked into the Xuefeng Gym, which was completely decorated with ice and snow.

"Okay! Xiaoshan, take this challenger to the battlefield. I'll change my clothes and start the game in ten minutes!"

The person who opened the door before was the gym apprentice Xiaoshan. Seeing this, he couldn't help but remind him: "Gym leader, don't you... take a good rest and adjust your state?"

Dingjiu just smiled slightly when he heard it, and then walked to the other side with the Snow Demon Girl.

"No need!"

Looking at the back of the gym leader Sadahisa, Mingzheng clearly felt that the other party disliked him, so what was the misunderstanding?

Forget it, it doesn't matter, he is determined to get this badge!

After getting the badge, he will take a detour back to the Yamanashi Research Institute and stay in seclusion until the league competition begins!

Ten minutes passed quickly.

Mingzheng has already stood at the challenge position of the Snow Peak Gym's ice field.

And the gym leader Sadahisa did not delay at all. He changed into his regular clothes and appeared on the opposite side, staring at Mingzheng with unkind eyes.

The gym apprentice Xiaoshan became the referee and began to read out the rules of the game.

"From now on, the gym challenge between the gym trainer Sadahisa and the challenger Mingzheng will begin. Both sides use four Pokémons, and the competition method is a single elimination match. When all Pokémons on one side lose their combat capabilities, the game ends. Only the challenger can change Pokémons during the process! Do both sides have any questions?"

"No"

"No"

"Okay, then the game begins!"

The referee flag was waved, and Mingzheng and the gym leader Sadahisa sent out the first Pokémon at the same time.

A red light flashed, and Squirtle and Mimi appeared on the ice field at the same time.

"Squirtle!"

Squirtle was full of momentum. Even though he was only a senior intermediate, he did not show any fear in the face of Mimimi, an elite intermediate.

This was his first gym challenge!

But on the other side, Dingjiu's mouth was crooked, and his eyes were mixed with disdain and anger, as if some speculation in his heart was confirmed.
