I, the first trainer of the new world

Chapter 1451 Dojo Master Jinlai

"The next challenger is Serena from the Carlos region."

"Hello." Jinlai held a Poké Ball, his face gentle. "I'm Jinlai from the hot summer region."

Qianlin's expression was strange.

Has this guy been hanging out with Wusong for too long? How come his expressions and way of speaking are almost identical to Wusong's now?

If I didn't know that this guy was socially awkward, I would really think that's what he was like.

“My name is Serena,” Qianlin replied with a smile.

Almost simultaneously, cheers erupted from the stands. Jinlai instinctively turned his head and saw that almost everyone in the nearly full stands was cheering after hearing Serena's name.

She acted as if Jinlai wasn't the gym leader, but she was.

"Normally, the stands are only about half full, and that was the case half an hour ago, but now they're completely full." Jin Lai's voice was filled with surprise. "Are you a celebrity?"

Half an hour ago was the time when the gym battle on Lei Yan's side ended, which was enough time for the trainers watching the match to upload the video.

However, since the challenger this time was a girl and didn't have a name like 'Seto Kaiba', the trainers on Earth were surprised, but not as excited as they were when they saw 'Seto Kaiba' before.

Some people might casually send the video to others, but most people just glance at it and don't watch it anymore.

If Seto Kaiba's videos excite Pokémon trainers during the hot summer, then Serena's battle videos excite trainers in the Pokémon world even more.

Such videos are unlikely to reach the eyes of the gym leaders in Yanxia, ​​so Qianlin is not worried at all.

Look at Zeng Sheng watching from below; he didn't notice anything wrong either.

Oh right, because the Four Heavenly Kings are currently giving special training to the eight gym leaders. They are randomly assigned to one of the eight gyms almost every day. Today, Zheng Yaqian was assigned to Liu Ruyan's gym, and Zeng Sheng was assigned to Jin Lai's gym. The remaining two are currently unknown.

However, to be honest, Jin Lai doesn't really need Zeng Sheng's guidance.

Although there is a large gap in combat power between the two, their tactical reserves are actually not that different. Among the eight masters of Yanxia, ​​the one with the worst tactical reserves is Luo Karl, followed by Liu Hui.

Because you, Brother Hui, have been farming Giant Caves in the Wild too much, you've become a true Wild Fighter.

"I guess so, I became famous about half an hour ago." Qianlin smiled and played with the Poké Ball in his hand. "Gym Leader Jinlai, before the Gym Battle starts, I have a small favor that I might need your help with."

Jinlai, who was about to throw the Poké Ball, paused and nodded subconsciously: "If it's not something serious."

As the dojo owner, I'll help with small things whenever I can.

"I hope to remove the Gym Leader restrictions and have a full-fledged 2v2 battle." Qianlin Yangguang's smile was so deceptive that even Jinlai didn't notice anything amiss at first.

But upon hearing these words, Jin Lai was slightly startled after a moment of silence: "Are you sure?"

The restrictions imposed on Gym Leaders are not insurmountable. When facing challengers with potential or whose strength is sufficient to earn badges, Gym Leaders sometimes send out a team to put pressure on the challengers and also to take care of the trainers they have their eye on.

Just like Liu Ruyan was stopped by the punk loli Homiga, Homiga also lifted the restriction that gym leaders could not be rotated, making it almost a completely formal match.

Otherwise, with Liu Ruyan's strength, she shouldn't have been unable to defeat even a single Pokémon like Homiga.

The main reason was that after Homiga discovered that Liu Ruyan's strength had increased to the point where she could potentially defeat one of her Pokémon, he disregarded all martial ethics and lifted the Gym Leader's restrictions, all in order to completely shut Liu Ruyan down.

As a result, Liu Ruyan ran away immediately after catching the Pokémon she needed.

I heard that Homiga has been cursing her in private messages for half a month, and even now, Liu Ruyan can still see the latest messages from Homiga cursing her when she opens the chat software.

That's off topic.

In short, Jinlai was surprised by Serena's choice, because normally the best way to obtain a gym badge is to follow the gym leader's restrictions, unless the other party's goal is not the badge at all, but simply to battle the gym leader.

Thinking it over, Jinlai's surprise faded, and he put the Poké Ball back at his waist. He looked at Serena very seriously: "Are you sure you want to apply to lift the restrictions on being a Gym Leader? To have a 2v2 battle instead of a challenge match?"

“I’m sure.” Qianlin smiled, his eyes crinkling. “By the way, no battle mechanics will be banned.”

Generally speaking, gym battles do not restrict any battle mechanics, because the gym leader's goal is to see the challenger's full strength.

However, this statement would be problematic if said to Jinlai.

Because anyone standing opposite Jinlai can see the two wristbands he wears on his wrist.

Giant Wristband and Z-Bracelet.

“Are you trying to provoke me?” Jinlai laughed, raising his hands to show Serena the bracelet on his wrist. “From the first day I tried to become the Gym Leader of this Gym, I decided that I would not use Dynamax or Z-Moves, but I really hope that one day I will meet a challenger who can make me want to use those two things.”

Dynamax is unusable. Although there are one-time use Dynamax Bands, Jinlai doesn't have one, but Zeng Sheng does.

His Z-Moves are simple, and he has quite a few Z-Crystals.

“You can’t win without using it.” Qianlin just smiled. “Well, enough of this nonsense. I have other things to do, so let’s make this match a little quicker.”

This statement is far more blatant than the previous one, which was provocative.

But Jinlai didn't care at all, still with that gentle smile, and took another Poké Ball with his right hand: "Let's begin then."

The referee, having received permission, immediately raised his two-handed flags: "The battle...begins!"

Both Poké Balls were thrown at the same time.

The moment the Poké Ball flew out, Jinlai's eyes suddenly sharpened: "Tempo, Fake Out!"

Almost the instant the Poké Ball was released, the serious-looking Litten charged out, energy surging from its paws as it pounced forward.

boom--

A white shield protected Beedrill, which stared coldly at Hot Cat.

"Sorry, the priority of holding the line is above the high-five surprise attack." Qianlin grinned. "Take advantage of the situation."

"Spi——"

The Beedrill's transparent wings vibrated incessantly, emitting a terrifying buzzing sound. The flapping of its wings created a wind that constantly swept across the entire battlefield.

Jinlai looked slightly surprised. The first clash between the two sides had already passed in less than three seconds since they appeared on the field. The high-five attack was blocked and defended. Before Yanre Miao could retreat, the opponent had already begun to make tactical arrangements.

"Flash Charge!" Jinlai commanded almost without hesitation.

"Meow!"

Hot Cat's voice isn't as childish as Litten Cat's; it already has a touch of majesty in it.

A burst of flame erupted, and the terrifying temperature completely enveloped the Beedrill.
