Cynthia breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, you..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door, followed by the voice of Lucian:
"Miss Cynthia, here are a batch of Pokémon League official documents that need your approval and signature."
Cynthia looked helpless:
"Looks like I'm going to be busy again."
Yushu couldn't help but laugh, "Lucian I still have to meet the king, and it's not easy for him to go to work."
In name he is the king, but in reality he is the champion's assistant, Sinnoh's chosen worker.
Cynthia sighed softly, "That's right. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me."
"OK, goodbye."
The phone hangs up.
Yushu put away the phone and let out a long sigh of relief. Chatting with Cynthia always makes people feel happy.
No wonder it is said that looking at beautiful women can prolong your life. This expert finally told the truth.
At this time, a burst of rapid footsteps came.
"I'm sorry! Are you okay?"
A young man in a green jacket ran over, his face full of apology.
He appears to be in his early twenties, with a slender figure and particularly eye-catching short blue hair.
Yushu waved his hand. "It's okay, your Pidgeot is quite energetic, but it's flying a little low."
The young man said sheepishly, "Sorry, we were training to fly at high speed and we were so absorbed in it that we didn't notice anyone below."
Pidgeot also lowered his head and murmured a few times, as if to apologize.
Yushu reached out and patted Pidgeot's wings. "Okay, okay, I forgive you. Remember to watch the road next time you fly."
Seeing Yushu's gentle and easy-to-talk expression, with no anger at all, Falkner breathed a sigh of relief and then invited:
"My name is Falkner, and I am Gym Leader from Violet Gym. To express my apology, would you like to go to my gym?"
Violet Gym, Johto Region's first gym, focusing on Flying-type Pokémon.
Yushu asked, "Would it be too disturbing? Mainly, I have nothing to do."
"It's okay, just consider it an apology. Besides, the tea in our monastery is very good."
Seeing how enthusiastic Falkner was, Yushu thought that he might as well go to the gym anyway.
"Okay, I'll excuse you then."
Violet Gym is located in the center of Violet City and is a unique building.
The entire gymnasium is circular in shape, with a huge dome on top.
Imitation cloud decorations hang from the ceiling, and even the floor is painted with patterns of blue sky and white clouds.
Falkner asked Yushu to sit down, and the apprentice brought two cups of tea:
"Yushu Is this your first time at Violet City? Are you here to challenge the gym?"
Yushu At this age and time, he looks like a trainer coming to challenge the gym.
"I don't have any plans for the moment, I'm just passing by."
Yushu took the tea cup and took a sip. The fragrance of the tea bloomed in his mouth, making him nod his head involuntarily. "You Violet City are quite lively. Are you holding some kind of celebration?"
As he walked along, the flow of people was obviously much more than in ordinary cities. The streets were lined with colorful flags and banners, and there was a festive atmosphere everywhere.
Falkner introduced, "Then you are here at the right time. We Violet City are about to hold Flying Contest. This is a rare event."
"Flying Contest?" Yushu became interested.
"That's right."
Falkner explained, "This is an annual event for our Violet City, and it attracts many trainers to participate every year."
"The rules of the game are also simple. At the beginning, a hot Air Balloon with a ring will rise in the air. The player's Pokémon must compete for the ring in the air, and then throw it into a specific elevated position to win."
Yushu The more I listen to this rule, the more familiar it becomes.
Isn't this PokéRinger?
Hoenn and Sinnoh have similar competitions, but the names are different.
To put it bluntly, it is an aerial version of the capture-the-flag game, which tests Pokémon's flying skills and the trainer's tactical command.
"Sounds interesting."
Falkner saw Yushu's interest and immediately invited him enthusiastically. "Right? Are you interested in participating? I can help you sign up!"
"It starts tomorrow, registration should be over, right?"
Yushu asked doubtfully.
Generally speaking, the competition ends three days in advance, so it is too late to make temporary additions.
"Hey, this is nothing!"
Falkner waved his hand. "As long as you open your mouth, I will stuff you in immediately."
He is a dignified Violet City and Gym Leader. Isn't it easy to force someone into the game? He still has this privilege.
Yushu couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.
Is this the legendary back door? It made him want to be a museum owner.
"Okay, then I'll join in. It just allows my Staraptor to move around and stretch his muscles."
Falkner raised his eyebrows. "Staraptor? Pokémon from Sinnoh Region? You are from Sinnoh."
"Yes, come out and see the world."
"It looks like tomorrow's game will be exciting!"
The next day, Violet City Flying Contest was on site.
There are huge crowds of people, and the sky is noisy with gongs and drums.
As the city where Flying-type's Gym is located, one can imagine how much Violet City attaches great importance to Flying Contest.
Huge heat Air Balloon rose into the sky, colorful ribbons were flying, and there were spectators everywhere who came to watch the game.
Both sides of the street were crowded with people, some holding banners and some holding cheering sticks. The atmosphere was as lively as a festival.
"Come and take a look! Flying Contest limited edition Badge! Only 500 yuan!"
"Authentic Violet City specialty roasted bird eggs! Buy two and get one free!"
"Telescope! Rent one for only 100! You are guaranteed to see every expression of Pokémon!"
Just like Flying-type Gym Fortree Gym of Hoenn Region holds Feather Carnival every year to perform flight performances to show the spirit of coexistence between man and the sky.
Of course, the prizes for such competitions are also rich.
The first place is the top-grade Sharp Beak. Needless to say, this value is not worth mentioning. It is difficult to buy top-grade props even if you have money.
Second place, Flying-type Pokémon Pokémon Egg produced by Violet Gym.
Although I am not sure what Pokémon is, the one produced by the gym is definitely more talented than the one obtained in the wild.
Third place, TM with Flying-type move Roost.
Although not as good as the top two, it is still a very practical reward.
Yushu glanced at the list of prizes and was determined to win the sharp beak.
Bring this thing to Staraptor, and its power will be greatly increased.
I just saved the money and bought it myself.
The competition venue is located in a large square in the city center.
In the center of the square stands a tall pillar with a hook at the top, which is where the ring is placed.
The host stood on the high platform, held the microphone and announced passionately:
"Dear audience friends! Welcome to the annual Violet City Flying Contest!"
The audience burst into warm applause and cheers.
"In this year's competition, we are fortunate to invite outstanding trainers from all over the world! Together with their Flying-type Pokémon, they will bring us a wonderful aerial duel!"
"First of all, let us invite the previous champion, who is also the owner of Violet Gym! Falkner!"
Falkner wore a handsome outfit and rode his Pidgeot down from the sky, causing a scream.
"Falkner! Falkner! Falkner!"
"The owner is invincible! Continue to win the championship this year!!"
"Master Falkner is so handsome!"
"In Violet City you can always trust the owner Falkner!"
It can be seen from the enthusiasm of fans that Gym Leader still has a great influence in the local area.
"Next, let's invite other contestants!"
Trainers appear one after another.
Yushu stood in the background, watching the contestants in front of him appear one by one, and suddenly saw a familiar figure in the crowd.
He has red hair and an unruly expression.
Silver? He also came to participate in Flying Contest?
Yushu narrowed his eyes.
It's true that enemies are on the same road.
At the same time, Silver also noticed Yushu.
He subconsciously thought of the pink demon and couldn't help but shudder.
It's this guy again! Why is he still lingering?
But soon, Silver reacted.
This is Flying Contest.
Flying Contest! In other words, you can only use Flying-type or the flying Pokémon to participate.
And Yushu, the pink demon Miltank, obviously can't fly.
If you can't fly, you won't be able to compete.
Thinking of this, Silver felt confident.
We'll see!
Yushu couldn't help but laugh when he saw Silver's "I've done it again" expression.
This kid really cares about eating and not fighting.
The game officially begins.
The rules are simple: a group of four people, only one person can win.
The first group to appear was none other than Falkner and three other trainers.
As soon as Falkner appeared on the stage, the atmosphere at the scene reached a climax.
The other three contestants also appeared on stage one after another, but when they saw Falkner, the expressions on their faces were a little subtle.
It's over, the second place reward is gone.
That's the gym owner of Violet Gym! Competing with the gym owner of Flying-type?
Wouldn't that mean lighting up the toilet and looking for persimmons?
The host raised the flag:
"Everyone at your desk! Please release Pokémon!"
Falkner throws Poké Ball:
"Pidgeot! Go!"
White light flashed, and a sturdy Pidgeot appeared in the sky.
It unfolded Dual Wingbeat and let out a loud chirp that resounded through the sky.
[Pokémon: Pidgeot]
[Attribute: normal, flying]
[Ability: Keen Eye]
[Moves: Quick Attack, Fly, Wing Attack, Hurricane, Steel Wing, Air Slash, Brave Bird, Roost, Tailwind, Mirror Move...]
[Grade: Mid Gym Stage]
[Introduction: Falkner's partner, has excellent speed and eyesight, and has never failed in Flying Contest]
The other three trainers also released their own Pokémon.
One has orange feathers, and the part between the wings on its back and the tips of the wings are white. It has a red crown on its head and a long and sharp pink beak.
Shiny Ho-Oh, also known as Fearow.
A Beedrill vibrates its wings at high speed and makes a buzzing sound.
There is also a Hoppip...
Wait, Hoppip?
Yushu looked at the Hoppip flying in the wind.
Can this person also participate in Flying Contest? Are you really not afraid of getting beaten?
The owner of Hoppip is a girl. She is cheering up her Hoppip seriously:
"Hoppip! You can do it! I believe in you!"
"Shuttlecock~~"
Hoppip made a soft Flaaffy response.
It's totally impossible!!
