The Elf Guide is in my heart

In this world, gyms in any region are usually divided into three levels.

The Pokémon level in a first-level gym is usually around 70, and a special first-level badge will be awarded if the challenge is successful. Usually only big cities with a population of tens of millions would set up such gymnasiums.

The Pokémon level in the second-level gym is usually around level 50, and a second-level badge will be awarded if the challenge is successful. Only a city with a population of one million would set up such a gym.

The level of Pokémon in level 30 gyms is usually around level , and level badges will be awarded if the challenge is successful. Set up in a city with a population of .

Of course, in a million-level city like Gaoqi City, in addition to first-level gyms, there are also many second-level and third-level gyms.

The Takasaki Pingding Gym is a first-level gym, and its owner is a Pokmon trainer named "Zhan" who is good at general-type Pokmon and is a general-type Pokmon master.

It is worth mentioning that this trainer is eighty years old this year.

Gaoqi Pingding Gym is called Pingding because this gym is not in the city center, but on Gaoqi Pingding Mountain in the suburbs.

Yes, you heard it right, this gym is on the mountain.

The gymnasium was built after flattening a mountain.

When the museum was built, a lot of money was spent on airlifting the building materials up bit by bit.

Since then, Gaoqi Mountain has also been renamed Gaoqi Pingding Mountain.

The mountain is steep, especially the back, which is as vertical as a wall.

But its large amounts of exposed rock have become a favorite spot for rock climbers.

The main activity venue of the Gaoqi Rock Climbing Enthusiasts Association is here.

Takasaki Pingding Mountain has also become a landmark of Takasaki City, and everyone in Kanto knows its existence.

"Gaoqi Flat-top Gym?" Ning frowned upon hearing this.

"That's right, I want you to deliver food to Gaoqi Pingding Gym. How about it? Can you accept it?" The middle-aged man looked at Ning seriously.

Sensing the seriousness of the middle-aged man, the meow on his head began to wag its tail, as if to put more pressure on Ning.

Ning Buyu, this is not as simple as delivering food to others.

According to his understanding, no matter whether you are a gym challenger or an ordinary tourist, if you want to meet Mr. Zhan, you must personally climb a rock wall nearly a thousand meters above sea level.

No external force is allowed, and even professional equipment such as gloves, ropes, and chains are not allowed.

Only in this way can we have the opportunity to meet Mr. Zhan. This is also the only way to the gym.

You may ask, why is it so complicated and troublesome to challenge the Takasaki Flat-top Gym? Isn’t it possible to just go up and challenge it?

The reason is that this is a first-level gym, and the first-level badges issued by it are extremely special.

You must know that the third-level and second-level badges are used as certificates to participate in the Pokémon League competition, that is, entry tickets.

Once you participate in the competition, all items must be recycled and returned to each gym after the competition. Equivalent to recycling.

However, the first-level badge will not be recycled for participating in the Pokémon League competition. Not only can it be held permanently by Pokémon trainers as a permanent honor, but it can also play a key role in some special occasions.

And the most important thing is that he is a first-level gym leader with an average level of Pokémon of level 70, and his strength is second only to the Four Heavenly Kings of Kanto.

Is it something you can see if you want? Did you say that you can succeed if you can challenge it?

After level seventy, it is extremely difficult to level up Pokémon.

But it's not over yet. According to rumors, Mr. Zhan is currently in a state of semi-reclusion.

No one was there except the Pokémon trainer. Even the staff of the Pokémon League are like this. They must visit as trainers, otherwise they will be closed and no visitors will be allowed.

As for the reason, Ning didn't know. The major media are also committed to discovering the inside story, but because the parties involved remain silent, the reporters' efforts have had little effect.

This is why middle-aged men need students from Takasaki University.

"Boss, this is it. I am Ning from Ueno Town. This is my first time in Takasaki City in the past two days. I have never been to Takasaki Pingding Mountain. Can I go to Takasaki Pingding Mountain to have a look first, and then decide whether to accept this job? ." Ning said calmly.

"Okay!" The middle-aged man slapped his thigh. This was the answer and attitude he wanted.

There was a student from Takasaki University who agreed without even thinking about it.

When he saw Gaoqi Pingding Mountain, he immediately turned his back and left.

"You're sick! You're climbing a mountain without thinking! You're so full that you can't stand it." These were the words the student threw to the middle-aged man, and then he walked away.

At that time, the middle-aged man could only stand at the foot of the mountain helplessly, expressionless. But his heart was deeply hurt.

But he still hopes to deliver the ramen made by himself to the gym, and there will be no change in his mind.

After hearing Ning's answer, the middle-aged man knew that the student in front of him was rational and not so attached to material things.

The middle-aged man looked at Ning's too plain clothes and knew that Ning must come from a poor family.

But his eyes are restrained and full of energy, his speech and behavior are calm and appropriate, and there is no sense of embarrassment or decadence at all.

He suddenly felt that maybe Ning could be the person he had been looking for.

"Without further delay, I will take you to Gaoqi Pingding Mountain right away!" the middle-aged man suggested, seeming to be very anxious, changing his calm expression just now.

"Okay." Ning also nodded. It would be better to go and take a look anyway. Even if it doesn't work out in the end, it's time to travel and see the natural scenery on the outskirts of Gaoqi City.

"Wait, wait for me for 10 minutes." As if he thought of something, leaving these words, the middle-aged man left the back room and re-entered the kitchen.

When he came back, an exquisite meal delivery box appeared in his hand. The faint fragrance emanating from it must be ramen.

Then Ning got into the middle-aged man's car.

"Don't you put your sting bee back into the baby ball?" the middle-aged man asked, looking at the sting bee sitting next to Ning.

"Will the Needle Bee cause trouble to the boss?" Ning asked rhetorically.

"Haha, of course not." The middle-aged man could tell that Ning and the Needle Bee had a good relationship. Moreover, he also noticed the weight-bearing vest of Big Needle Bee, so naturally he didn't say anything.

After several hours of hard work, we finally reached the foot of Gaoqi Pingding Mountain.

Since it was not a weekend, there were not many rock climbers on Pingding Mountain.

On another part of the mountain, there is a cable car specially set up for tourists from all over the world to use. Of course, they are not here to visit the gym, they are just tourists.

"This is it." The middle-aged man pointed toward the mountain.

Looking in the direction pointed by the middle-aged man, it turned out that there were three roads leading to the top of the mountain, not just one as Ning had thought before.

First, there are many trees growing horizontally on the mountain walls and uneven rock walls outward or inward.

Looking at the first road, Ning was convinced that ordinary people who were bold and careful and could overcome their inner fears were fully capable of conquering this thousand-meter mountain even if they had not received any professional training.

And he instantly realized that this might be a perfect place to train giant needle bees.

The second path is much more difficult. There are only some branches and vines, and uneven rock walls. Ning knows that this is the path that only professional rock climbers will choose.

As for the third item, Ning was confused when he saw the middle-aged man pointing at the exposed rock wall. There are only a few cracks on the bare rock wall, but nothing else.

"Ah? Can you go up here?" Ning couldn't believe his eyes.

"That's right!" The man in the middle nodded.

"But you only need to choose one of them. Mr. Zhan only looks at the attitude and character of the trainer. After all, the people here are Pokémon trainers, not rock climbing experts." The middle-aged man saw Ning's worried face and comforted him. .

Ning nodded, looked at the shocking slope, and quickly returned his mind to the first road.

At this time, a middle-aged man wearing white training clothes suddenly appeared behind the two of them. His physique was similar to that of the owner of the ramen restaurant, as if they were both carved from the same mold.

"It's you!"

"It's you!"

The two spoke in unison.

According to the introduction of the owner of the ramen restaurant, the man is a disciple of Mr. Zhan.

He takes care of all the big and small things in the gym. After all, Mr. Zhan is old and it is impossible for him to do the complicated things himself.

"Are you the one who wants to meet the teacher?" the man in white confirmed.

"Yes." Ning replied. Pingdingshan is right in front of you. If you don't challenge it once, how can you go back like this?

"Okay! I'll take care of this ramen!" The owner of the ramen restaurant looked excited.

Ning didn't want to know what the connection was between the ramen restaurant owner and the Takasaki flat-top gym. Why did the two of them know each other? After all, this is people's privacy.

He just wanted to know what if there was an accident?

The man in white looked at the worry on Ning's face, and explained with a smile, "Don't worry, if anything happens, I will protect you!"

The man in white threw two treasure balls. One was a Bibi bird and the other was a Toucan.

"Don't worry, the bibills and toucans will be watching you from a distance. If you are in any crisis, they will come to rescue you immediately."

"And don't you still have the Stingy Bee? Although the Stinging Bee can't catch you in the air, you can still hold on and buy some time for the arrival of the two flying Pokémon, right?" the man in white encouraged.

"Okay!" No longer worried, Ning took the lunch box containing ramen and carefully placed it in his backpack.

Looking at the tall flat-topped mountains, a bold idea suddenly appeared in Ning's mind.

"Needle Bee, I hope you will keep flying the whole time when I climb the rock. I will not allow you to stop on any branch or rock wall to rest." Ning said sternly.

Hearing this, the Big Needle Bee shook her head, with an obvious meaning, "I can't do it!" How difficult it is to bear one-third of the weight of one's own body.

The needle wasp also wanted to shake its hand, which was a steel needle, but it was too heavy because it was coated with Takla metal, so it gave up.

Ning continued to add: "I still say that you can't rest on any branch or rock wall, but if you are really tired, just stop on me."

The giant needle bee tilted its head and looked at its master with a puzzled expression. Why can it only rest on the owner's body?
