Elf: I'm the only one who understands Pokémon

Yu Chong Gym, inside the gym owner's office.

Mai Tang looked at Fang Zhu opposite him with some surprise, and asked doubtfully:

"Are you really sure?"

Fang Zhu nodded firmly.

"Yes, Brother Wheat.

To avoid possible gossip and trouble, I'd better walk away.

I don't like having pointless arguments with others. "

Speaking of this, Fang Zhu patted his chest with a grin and said with a smile:

"And, I have confidence in myself."

"Then respect your choice."

Mai Tang rummaged in the drawer beside him for a while, took out a piece of paper and handed it to Fang Zhu.

"You still have to go through the process and fill it out."

"Ok."

Fang Zhu took it with both hands, picked up the pen next to him and started filling it out quietly.

For a moment, the only sound left in the entire office was the slight scratching sound of paper and pen.

Within a few minutes, a lot of black ink was added to the originally blank paper.

After handing the paper back to Maitang, Fang Zhu politely said goodbye to him.

"This kid."

Mai Tang shook the paper in front of his eyes and smiled helplessly.

On the header of the paper, it was clearly written——

Yu Chong Gym Apprentice Registration Form.

……

Dialga wiped his sweat, and another few days passed.

"The sun is shining in the sky, the flowers are smiling at me, and the little bird is saying early..."

Fang Zhu sang a certain ballad in a low voice as he walked on the road to the Jade Chong Gym.

Today, he was wearing a blue sportswear, no longer wearing the iconic Yu Chong Gym uniform.

Long Yao was beside him, looking at him strangely.

"Fang Zhu, aren't you already an official apprentice of Yu Chong Gym? Why are you still here to take part in the recruitment assessment?"

Fang Zhu was obviously in a good mood and replied with a smile.

"In order to avoid some rumors saying that I used the back door, I'm not afraid of it, but it's quite annoying sometimes."

Looking at the prominent Jade Chong Gym not far away, Fang Zhu raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Also, I really want to experience what the apprenticeship assessment process is like."

This is actually Fang Zhu’s main purpose.

It was a rare visit to the world of Pokémon, and he wanted to experience as many new things related to Pokémon as possible.

"Eh? Will you be gossiped about if you join the gym without taking the test?"

Long Yao looked shocked and then covered his face.

"It's over. Then when my father directly announced that I would become an apprentice at Longguang Gym this year, I wasn't going to be scolded."

When he thought that someone would say bad things about him, Long Yao felt very sad for a moment.

"Don't be afraid, your status is different."

Fang Zhu patted Long Yao's shoulder.

"Besides, aren't you seriously preparing to take the apprenticeship recruitment assessment at Yu Chong Gym?"

"Yes!"

Long Yao's depressed expression turned dark in an instant, and he was even bouncing when he walked.

When the two of them arrived at the entrance of Yu Chong Gym, many people had already gathered here.

Fang Zhu roughly estimated that there were about 400 people.

From what Mu Fan said, the Jade Chong Gym is considered an unpopular gym with a small number of applicants.

If it is a popular gym like Longguang Gym, it often has a scale of more than [-] people.

Every assessment day, the streets around the gym must be surrounded by water.

Fang Zhu and Long Yao found a corner to stand for the time being, observing the competitors in this assessment.

It can be seen from their clothes that most of the children taking the Yu Chong Gym apprenticeship assessment are not from wealthy families.

There are children whose clothes have turned white from washing. They are holding the corners of their clothes and waiting anxiously.

For them, becoming a gym apprentice is an opportunity to take off.

Compared with the uncertain personal adventure, the resources and training guidance provided by the gym are extremely attractive to these children.

There are also a handful of richly dressed children, motivated in part by their love of insect nature.

The other part just wants to get gold plated through the gym and get the name of a gym apprentice.

Best of all, you can also get the quota for the alliance conference recommended by the gym every year.

When the hour hand at the door of the gym struck nine, the door of the Yu Chong Gym slowly opened.

Mu Fan still stood at the gate with the warm smile of the past.

"Welcome everyone to participate in this year's Yu Chong Gym apprentice recruitment assessment."

A red and blue elf ball was slowly taken out by Mu Fan, a red light flashed, and Heracross appeared in front of everyone.

"boom!"

Above the gym, a boulder the size of five or six people hugging each other crashed down.

"Super Horn!"

The big horn on the top of Heracross' head suddenly stretched and enlarged, and he fearlessly faced the boulder with light.

"boom!"

At the moment of contact, the terrifying boulder split apart and turned into smaller stones.

"Missing needles!"

The densely packed dark green long needles accurately penetrated small rocks and exploded.

Only fine powder fell.

Many children opened their mouths wide and looked at the shocking scene in front of them.

"Clap clap clap..."

There was sparse applause at first, then explosive applause and cheers.

This is the opening ceremony, a part of every time a gym recruits apprentices.

The purpose is to intuitively show the power of the gym to ignorant children.

"Then please come with me. The owner is already waiting for you inside."

After saying that, Mu Fan turned around.

The students scattered everywhere gathered together like a torrent in an instant, following closely behind Mu Fan.

"It's Queen Bee Mufan!"

One child exclaimed, his expression full of excitement.

"I heard that in the previous batches, other apprentices performed the opening ceremony, but I didn't expect that this time it would be Mu Fan!"

Obviously, Mu Fan's performance in the Gym Ranking Tournament a few years ago left a deep impression on many people.

After observing around for a while, Fang Zhu suddenly discovered that many people might be coming to the Jade Chong Gym for Mu Fan.

They looked at Mu Fan with fanatical eyes, wishing they could move two steps faster and get close to Mu Fan's body.

Of course, there are also children who think highly of themselves and sneer at this.

"It's just a small skill. When I enter the Yu Chong Gym, I will dominate this place in one year!"

The boy raised his head. Although he had only received Pokémon for half a year, it was still only at the normal level.

But he has always believed that golden scales are not just objects in the pond, but they can transform into dragons when encountering wind and rain!

As soon as he joins Yu Chong Gym, he will reach the gym level in one year and the king level in three years!

In five years, he will become the youngest champion of the Eastern Conference!

But the people around him, looking at his appearance, stood silently farther away from him.

"Good... so strong!"

There are also children who have never heard of Mu Fan's reputation and simply marvel at the power of Heracross.

For example, the boy on the left of Fang Zhu whose clothes were washed white.

The moment Heracross showed off his strength, Fang Zhu clearly noticed the change in the boy.

There was light in his eyes.

After walking through the aisle, the place where the group finally stopped was the battlefield on the first floor.

On one side of the venue, a high platform had been built at some point.

In order to fit the mood of an apprentice, Fang Zhu has been living outside for the past few days, but he doesn't know about this.

Several spotlights suddenly lit up and were projected onto the high platform.

Maitang looked serious and sat on one arm of the giant pincer mantis.

The Giant Pincer Mantis just jumped slightly and led Maitang steadily onto the high platform.

Maitang stood up, patted the giant pincer mantis on the shoulder, and stood in front of the microphone on the high platform.
