Elf: The Journey From Capturing Serena

Platycodon City is a large city located in the center of Chengdu. Because of Chengdu's habit of protecting traditions, it has created such a city with a long history and a Zen feel.

The city is huge but has a disproportionately small number of B&Bs. Most of the city is still covered by a sea of ​​trees.

There is also a large lake in the city. There is a bridge on the lake that leads to the northern edge of the city. On the northern edge, there is the landmark building of Platycodon City, the Trumpet Bud Tower.

The Tower of Trumpet Bud has three floors and is built with a soft structure. The Tower of Trumpet Bud adopts an all-wood structure. When the trainer fights, the tower still sways around.

This more flexible structure has better seismic resistance and is called "soft structure". Many modern buildings also use this construction method.

It is precisely because of this shaking all the time that many monks come to the Trumpet Bud Tower to practice.

In the eyes of the monks, this happens to be a good place for inner training.

If you can find inner "quietness" in the swaying speaker tower, you will have achieved success in learning.

According to the legend, this trumpet bud tower was built by a trumpet bud over 30 meters high that built the central column in the center of the tower. But in fact, this is just a legend. Some people have confirmed that this legend is false.

If this legend is true, Xiaozhi can only think that this trumpet bud is an individual after dynamism. Otherwise, he can't imagine how the trumpet bud with an average height of only 0.7m can grow to over 30 meters tall.

But the monks all believe in this legend. Every time they practice in the Tower of Trumpet Buds, the monks will bring a trumpet bud to accompany them in their practice.

On this day, Xiaozhi and his team finally arrived at the first city with a gym, Platycodon City.

But at this time, Xiaozhi and others were standing in the queue at the Pokémon Center, preparing to check in.

"Hehe, as expected of a big city in the Chengdu area, there are so many trainers!"

Looking at the number of people in the hall of the Pokémon Center, and then thinking about the number of trainers outside facing the battlefield when they first arrived, Xiao Gang couldn't help but sigh, but the piggy look on his face betrayed him.

Along the way, he has seen many beautiful and mature big sister trainers. If it weren't for Xiaoxia's stop, he would have already gone to chat with these big sisters.

Xiaozhi naturally didn't know that Xiaogang was thinking about his big sister, but instead focused on the trainers coming and going.

As a Chengdu area that respects tradition, the area here is undoubtedly rich in long historical heritage.

But relatively speaking, the Chengdu area is undoubtedly more conservative than other areas.

This is also reflected in the number of gyms in Chengdu.

According to official statistics, the number of gyms in Chengdu does not exceed the number of ten, making it the region with the smallest number of gyms among all regions.

Looking at the Kanto region next door, there are two extremes.

According to the principle that one official gym can be established in a city, the number of gyms in the Kanto region is undoubtedly close to half a hundred.

Of course, this includes some informal gyms.

It's like the fighting gym next door to the Golden Gym.

This has also led to the strange phenomenon that the Kanto region has far more informal gyms than formal gyms.

But even so, the number of official gymnasiums in the Kanto region is several times that in the Chengdu region.

This was shown several times in the original plot.

For example, Xiao Mao has won many medals from non-Eight Avenue Halls.

Moreover, the number of badges collected in the end reached ten, which shows the large number of official gyms.

Later, gyms were also established in small cities like Dark City, which shows that the number is still rising.

"Please show your ID!"

While Xiaozhi was daydreaming, the procedures were being carried out in an orderly manner, and soon it was Xiaozhi and others' turn.

After registering in the dormitory, go back to the dormitory to tidy up, and then meet in the lobby.

Arriving at the dormitory, Xiaozhi was eye-opened by the luxury of the Pokémon Center here.

It has to be said that there are advantages to having fewer towns. For example, the luxury of this Pokémon Center is not comparable to those in the Kanto region.

He and Xiaogang's double suite was extremely spacious, and the windows faced the north. From here, you could see the Tower of Trumpet Buds in the north, and you could also enjoy the lake view, which was very rare.

After packing his luggage, there was still more than half an hour before the agreed time, so Xiaozhi began to check the information of Platycodon Gym to prepare for the next gym challenge.

After the time was almost up, Xiaozhi and his party met in the lobby, and then went to the restaurant to eat.

In the afternoon, Xiaozhi did not plan to go directly to challenge the gym. After the continuous travel, they were already mentally and physically exhausted, so they planned to visit the famous Trumpet Bud Tower.

The Tower of Trumpet Buds is open to the public and allows tourists to visit without any charge, but there is a limit on the number of people allowed to enter.

Arriving outside the Trumpet Bud Tower, Xiaozhi and the four of them lined up in the queue. The queue was a bit long. They looked forward and estimated that there were at least 40 people in front of them. They seemed to be quite popular.

There is a monk position order in front. When a group of people come out of the pagoda, the monks will let them go. Only ten people can enter the pagoda at a time. The visiting time is about 10 minutes.

Half an hour later, it was finally the turn of Xiaozhi and others, and they happened to be in the same batch, so there was no need to let the people behind go ahead and follow the monk's instructions to enter the tower.

After arriving in the tower, they felt a sense of curiosity.

"This Tongxin Pillar is interesting. This is the first time I have seen such a soft structure." Xiaozhi was somewhat interested in the Tongxin Pillar. He came to the fence outside the Tongxin Pillar and stared at it.

The central pillar is shaking all the time, causing the entire tower to shake, but the amplitude is not very large. If you don't look at it from a close distance, you can't see it shaking.

The only things worth visiting are the central pillar and the huge trumpet bud statue on the top floor. The rest are very simple.

After all, monks are practicing here, which is very different from the monks in the previous life. They are all practicing ascetics, so naturally they cannot be very luxurious.

There was faint sandalwood in the tower, and bells would ring from time to time. This quiet feeling made everyone relax, and it felt like they had been baptized.

After visiting the Trumpet Bud Tower, Xiaozhi and his party continued to play in Platycodon City for an afternoon, and then had dinner before returning to the Pokémon Center to rest.

After a night of recuperating, we will fight again at the Platycodon Gym the next day.
