...
Soon after that.
Until back to the island where the gathering before departure.
According to the regulations, they had to give up all the Pokemon they caught, and then the guild would uniformly calculate their Integral Points.
Specific task rewards will be distributed according to the proportion of Integral Points.
These rewards are definitely not as good as selling everything.
But not a little.
After changing into clean clothes, Miss Q, who was sitting on the main seat, looked at the less than ten people below, and whispered, "A vicious battle."
She opened a lollipop that didn't know where it came from and put it in her mouth.
"Come back, you will be notified when the Integral Points are finished calculating."
Upon hearing this, everyone bowed slightly and then turned around one after another.
After everyone disappeared down the hall, Miss Q beckoned.
A man with a respectful expression immediately came up to her.
But all he saw was Miss Q circling the lollipop with her mouth in one hand, and lightly tapping the chair rail with the other.
After a while, Miss Q finally opened her mouth and said: "Go and investigate the person named Yanxia. I need all the information, and if necessary, I can use some special relationships."
"Fine my lady!"
This person didn't hesitate with Miss Q's orders, and immediately did as she ordered.
Miss Q changed her posture, leaned back in the chair with her head held high, crossed her legs, and the corners of her mouth rose slowly.
"Don't let me down, little boy."
Mount Coronet.
The cliff where Natsu and Joanna met before.
They both came back the same way here again.
"A week at the earliest, half a month at the latest, if there is no accident there must be news." Joanna stood on Salamence's back and said to Natsu in the howling cold wind.
Natsu smacked his mouth "Slow enough."
"You think the seat competition is a game?" Joanna gave him a sullen look.
But then said casually: "But now it seems that someone is different. He is on a tender thigh, and also has confidence."
Natsu: "."
"Don't talk confusingly, I said you misunderstood, do you believe it or not?"
Joanna looked at him deeply.
Then without saying a word, she just left with Salamence.
Natsu pressed his forehead.
"I have sacrificed so much, if teacher doesn't give me something, it's too much to say."
After talking to himself, he called out to Noivern, and soon it too disappeared off the cliff.
When it reappears.
Already in Solaceon Town.
Came to his own gym.
Do not say that.
As the Gym's design proposal, when he saw the appearance of his Dragon-Type Gym, he couldn't help but nod.
Cool.
Solaceon Town's popularity increased tremendously with the opening of his gym.
Especially after his Gym match with Leon was posted online, lots of people came here.
Coupled with the "Lily of the Valley Youth Tournament" which has not completely lost its popularity, his runner-up status and title as "Tactical Master" have also become the Gym's attractions.
Of course.
As the first Dragon-Type Gym in the Sinnoh Region, many trainers who had thoughts about Dragon-Type Pokémon also came to hear the news.
Simply put.
His Dragon-Type Gym had successfully established itself in the Sinnoh Region.
Not to mention the heat, at least keep the gym's deficit figure minimized.
He believed that after a while, the Gym could officially start business and bring profit to him and Solaceon Town.
Devon is very efficient.
Solaceon Town has been aggressively developed after Natsu's approval to obtain a License from the Sinnoh Alliance.
In the northeastern corner of Solaceon Town, the Devon Company had carved out a spot and blocked it off with a high fence, where construction worked day and night, and it was not known what it was doing.
Besides this.
Solaceon Town's biggest problem is traffic.
Devon deserves to rely on infrastructure to generate its wealth.
They knew best what traffic meant to a city, so the first thing they did after entering Solaceon Town was renovating the roads throughout Solaceon Town.
Renovation with strict planning and distribution.
One of the first to start construction was the road in front of and around the Gym.
Also includes the construction and repair of roads from Solaceon Town to the surrounding towns.
The whole Solaceon Town doesn't say that it looks Fresh, but at least it has a tendency to gradually become prosperous.
This has pleased many residents of Solaceon Town.
Lots of love for Natsu, the young Trainer who decided to build a gym in Solaceon Town.
It says.
In the voting list of the top ten outstanding young people in the Sinnoh Region launched by the Alliance last year, Natsu's name was also on it, and it was not lowly.
This is a great honor.
He entered the Gym.
Some workers hired by the Gym are repairing the Gym grounds.
His arrival barely caught the attention of the workers.
"Mr Natsu, you're back." Kikuya immediately appeared at the door.
Kikuya was actually ready to go.
But he hasn't recruited a suitable manager yet, so Kikuya is forced to stay here and help him organize his day at the Gym.
"Kikuya, it's been a long time." said Natsu sincerely.
He saw all the contributions made by Kikuya.
To say it frankly.
If it wasn't for Kikuya's presence, the gym opening would never have been so smooth.
At least.
Natsu, his Gym Leader, isn't going to be that easy, and he still has time to earn some extra money.
"How was the gym the last few days?"
"Nothing. The biggest expense of building the Gym has been completed, with the funds sent by Bertha Elite last time to maintain the Gym. There are no problems with operation." Kikuya said.
If a Gym wants to operate normally, not just Gym Leaders.
A large number of workers are also involved.
For example, site maintenance workers, Gym daily cleaning workers, Pokémon Gym maintenance workers, maintenance and procurement of various electrical facilities, Gym publicity and promotion, review of challenger face sheets, and analysis of basic information, etc.
Work series.
It's no exaggeration to say.
The normal operation of a gym can support hundreds of families.
Saying that Gym is actually more of a semi-official company.
Natsu nodded "What about her?"
Kikuya pursed her lips, "Miss Linghua is very careful, but fair"
"What's wrong?"
Kikuya hesitated, her expression slightly embarrassed, and after thinking about it, she said:
"Mr. Natsu, it's normal for you to have someone representing the Gym Leader, after all, many gyms do this, many Gym Leaders also have their own things to do. But Miss Linghua's identity is Nurse Joy from the Pokémon Center, you call her to become a Gym Leader, so she walks both sides every day."
Oddly tired.
"Eh"
Natsu's expression froze, then touched his nose, and said, "I see, I'll go see her."
"But Miss Linghua is fine, she is not at all like a Nurse Joy, more like a playful trainer," Kikuya added.
"en."
Of course Natsu knew this.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked Joy Linghua to become the Gym Leader's agent.
Or rather.
When Joy Linghua found out that Natsu was interested in finding a Gym Leader agent, she took the initiative to apply.
After a short conversation with Kikuya again about the Gym.
Natsu arrives at the Pokémon Gym breeding house.
This is a large indoor breeding house set up especially for Pokémon Gym.
A simulated living environment built according to the living habits and needs of Pokémon Gym life.
It is also a big expense when the Gym is built.
Mimics breeding indoors.
The environment here is great.
An artificial lake in the middle where Gyarados and several Water-Type Pokémon live.
On the left is a dense forest where the female Noivern lives with her three Noibat children.
On the right is a pile of rocks, where the Duraludons and Tyrantrums are mostly active.
The daily cost for maintaining this is not small.
When he entered, he heard someone's voice.
"Aiya, cousin, please help me tell the family, let them find someone to replace me, I'm also the Gym Leader now. Well, even if it's an agent, it's not embarrassing for the family."
Joy Linghua held the mobile phone, with a pleasant tone.
On a video call with another Nurse Joy.
If it weren't for Joy Linghua not wearing a Nurse suit just now, people who didn't know would think she was looking in the mirror.
Joy's family looks so much alike that they look like clones.
"It's useless for you to tell me this time. I called the patriarch, so you can tell it yourself." Then at the other end of the video, there's a face that's a bit old, but it's still okay to see the outline. It can be seen that she also had to look like Joy when she was young.
"Patriarch." Joy Linghua didn't expect the patriarch to come either. She immediately put away her frivolous appearance and said respectfully.
It just happened.
Natsu came at this time.
Joy Linghua, who heard the movement, looked back subconsciously.
"Nats!" Joy Linghua's eyes lit up.
"Eh, did I come at the wrong time?" Natsu looked at her, and then at the aged Joy on the phone screen.
"Linghua, let me tell with Natsu."
From the mobile phone, the extremely gentle voice change of the patriarch of the Joy family came.
"Oh.. Okay"
Joy Linghua shoved the phone into Natsu's hand, who was still in a daze, then winked at him, clasped her fists and made a cheering gesture, then pushed open the door and walked out.
At this moment Natsu was dumbfounded.
The most embarrassing thing was nothing more than digging one's corner, and as a result, someone came to the door.
But now it was too late for him to dodge.
Joy patriarch, should be Joy patriarch of Sinnoh Region.
Her status was no lower than the Elite Four.
Natsu didn't dare to hang up the phone.
Slowly picked up the phone, smiled.
"Patriarch's joy"
Patriarch Joy said with a smile: "Younger Natsu, I've heard of your Chansey's 'Minimize' Tactic before, but never had the chance to meet you, this time it's a coincidence."
Natsu: "."
Joy patriarch sighed, "There have been a lot of children in the family recently, all of them have learned your tactics and don't want to work at the Pokémon Center."
"Eh, hehehe—"
What more could he say?
He could only laugh twice to shake off his embarrassment.
"But it's a good thing, our Joy is not so stiff."
Joy patriarch's next words relaxed him slightly.
"Linghua didn't give you any trouble, right?"
"No, she's not at all, she's done a great job, and I don't think I'm needed for Gym Leader anymore." said Natsu while touching his nose.
Joy patriarch chuckled. "That's good. Then I'll give you Linghua. This girl is also a hardworking child. Her parents have died since she was young." Joy Patriarch said in a slightly sad voice.
Orphan?
Natsu fell silent.
"Oke."
"It's fine. I have other things to do, Natsu, come to our Joy house when you are free, there are many girls in the family who are your fans."
Joy patriarch said with a smile and hung up the phone.
But Natsu saw a dark shadow passing behind him.
Just a glance.
But still see it.
"How?"
As soon as the call ended, Joy Linghua stuck her head out of the door, blinking her eyes.
"Finished."
Natsu threw the phone at her angrily.
Just now, he had almost thought he would become the enemy of the Joy family.
Joy Linghua's eyes lit up.
"How did you get it?"
She struggled a lot but to no avail, and Natsu finished it in only one time?
And it works?
She had no voice at all.
But she probably understood what was going on.
"This is a Gym Leader tier Dragalge, and this is a Skrelp, I leave it to you, there is a possibility that you can pick some good apprentices."
Natsu didn't answer her question, instead, directly threw Dragalge and Skrelp Pokeballs at Joy Linghua and exited.
After all, he, the Gym Leader, displayed a sense of presence when the Gym opened, but then became redundant.
He also read the distribution records of Badge from Linghua Joy, and there was no big deal.
Proving that she was cut out for the role.
Natsu also doesn't need to worry as a shopkeeper who likes throwing hands.
Also great results.
Joy Linghua looked back at Natsu's departure and scratched her head, not knowing why.
Natsu muttered under his breath.
"Teacher has a good face."
...
Sinnoh Alliance.
Joy family.
Joy patriarch hung up with Natsu and looked at an old lady sitting in the chair next to him.
"I said, even if he is your disciple, you don't have to run far over a trifling matter like this."
The old woman sitting on the chair slowly raised her head, showing a sinister smile.
It was Natsu's cheap Teacher, Elite Four Agatha!
"I have free time," Agatha said with a smile.
"Really?"
Patriarch Joy looked in disbelief.
She didn't believe it anyway.
Even though Agatha has a bad reputation, word gets around among the Alliance executives that Natsu is her student.
Her temperament protects the calf, doesn't know how to spread together.
"Believe it or not is up to you, however, I'm here on official business this time." Agatha said calmly.
"Legal business?"
Joy patriarch glanced at the teacup and fruit on the table next to Agatha.
Was her official business just to come to him to eat fruit?
Regardless of whether Agatha herself believed it or not, she still didn't believe it.
"But that's okay, that Linghua girl does have innate talent as a Trainer." Joy patriarch sighed and sat down next to Agatha.
Agatha looked at her and took a sip of her tea.
Then Agatha took out the communicator and spoke: "Okay, the child is free, you can go to him."
"Okay, Agatha Elite. I'll see him after I get busy here. . " From the communicator, a warm voice with a hint of excitement came.
"Is there really a mission?" Joy patriarch was a little surprised.
"You don't know what happened to Kanto, do you?"
"Are you talking about Bruno's challenge to the Elite Four?" Patriarch Joy asked after a while of walking.
"No, Bruno has challenged more than a dozen times. He didn't take the Elite Four's challenge as a challenge, he was just testing his own strength, and the Old Man admired him and played with him all the time, he was constantly pressed to the ground." Agatha took a piece of fruit and put it in her mouth, said casually.
Of.
'So that's why I haven't seen anyone dare to challenge you in the past few years.' Joy patriarch muttered.
"So?"
Agatha narrowed her eyes slowly, said solemnly: "The gene lab was blown up, and it was confirmed that it was done by an insider."
"Gen Labs?" Joy patriarch also slowly looked through the knitting, "Who blew up?"
He didn't believe that the insiders would dare to be so bold.
"Who else could it be?"
"Team Rocket?" Joy patriarch said the name directly, but quickly wondered: "Then why did you come to Sinnoh?"
"Who knows, maybe someone here is connected to him. Or maybe he was given something and was just looking for a place to hide." Agatha shrugged.
The gene lab has been destroyed, which is a very important thing indeed.
"Clan Joy has a wide network of people, so help us pay attention, the Pokemon is not lightly injured." After saying that, Agatha handed over a photo.
"Then you should look for Officer Jenny."
"Already."
After speaking, Agatha stood up and walked towards the door.
Joy patriarch frowned slowly as he looked at the photo in her hand.
Her intuition told her that there must be a special reason why this person had run to Sinnoh without going anywhere else.
Sinnoh hasn't been very flat recently.
A secret underground organization called Team Galactic is a bit too active.
But Alliance still doesn't know who the boss of this organization is.
The Hunter's Guild headquarters is also in Sinnoh, and it has been in a lot of trouble recently.
