Chapter 132: No One Understands Gengar Better Than Me

The challenger’s eyes immediately lit up.

Gym Leader Veyne had helped him so much. He had to help raise the his reputation a little.

Once Gym Leader Veyne’s fame grew, the Sinnoh League would give Veilstone Gym enough funding to develop.

This could be considered the only tiny thing he could do to help.

Entering the internet café, the challenger logged into the Trainer forum.

[Cross_Poison_Blade:I just came out of Veilstone Gym. I was very lucky and obtained Veilstone Gym’s Cobble Badge]

[Cobble Badge image]

[Cross_Poison_Blade:I was also lucky enough to witness Gym Leader Veyne’s so-called ability to improve your pokemon]

[Cross_Poison_Blade:My Gloom learned Giga Drain, and my Golbat evolved into Crobat. Gym Leader Veyne is a very good person. Everyone is welcome to challenge him]

After Full_Speed_Ahead, ForeverBurning, SkyBlueFeather, and the others had praised Julian, quite a few Trainers who travelled a long way to challenge him had not experienced anything especially unusual.

But Julian was indeed gentler than other Gym Leaders and was willing to point out problems in their Pokémon’s training.

Based on that, everyone was willing to help praise him a little.

After all, they had travelled such a long way. If the people behind them did not come, would they not be the ones who lost out?

By coincidence, two Trainers who had challenged Julian were browsing the forum.

[SoftAndFluffy:Bro, are you sure you’re not joking?]

SoftAndFluffy was somewhat suspicious. Had he and this Cross_Poison_Blade really challenged the same person?

He had heard that Veilstone Gym currently did indeed have two Gym Leaders.

Had he challenged the wrong one?

In any case, he could not beat Pastoria Gym’s Leader, so he might as well go back and try Veilstone Gym again.

If his pokémon could evolve or learn a new move, and gain the Cobble Badge in the process...

Then challenging Pastoria Gym afterwards should be much easier.

[Howling_Moon_Wolf:Bro, it’s fine to trick us, but tricking yourself is wrong]

The challenger became very angry when he saw this.

[Cross_Poison_Blade:If this is fake, then may I fail to collect eight Badges. And even if I collect eight Badges, may I be eliminated in the preliminaries!]

With such a vicious oath, they had no choice but to believe him.

[Howling_Moon_Wolf:Bro, you win]

...

After a busy day, Julian, who had received a full five challengers, returned to his room, turned on his computer, and logged into the Trainer forum.

He planned to see whether anything interesting had happened in Sinnoh recently.

The first post on the Trainer forum was Cross_Poison_Blade’s thread.

Julian only felt his scalp go numb. He rubbed his temples.

Please, no!

Veilstone Gym already has enough work

Could you ungrateful people let me rest a little?

Although every year, six or seven hundred contestants participated in the regional conference...

Those six or seven hundred people were not all travelling Trainers who had collected eight Badges.

Many were contestants who had passed the Pokémon League Admissions Exam and obtained the qualification to participate.

There were even some departments of the Eight Gyms and Sinnoh League that had the right to recommend people for the regional conference.

There was nothing wrong with that.

Recommend whoever you liked. If they lacked strength, they would fail in the preliminaries all the same.

Limiting the number of recommendations was only to reduce logistical pressure on the regional conference.

For the person who could win the championship, no matter how many competitors there were, they still could not pose a threat.

Travelling Trainers who obtained Badges did not value the Badge itself.

What they valued was becoming stronger together with their Pokémon through the process of obtaining Badges.

Quite a few Trainers did not collect eight Badges within a single year.

An ordinary Gym generally received only one or two challengers per day.

But once a Gym’s reputation rose, the number of challengers visiting in one day could break into double digits.

This was not a good thing for the Gym Leader or the challengers.

If there were too many people, the Gym Leader could not provide tailored advice to every person.

If they wanted to compress battle time and receive more challengers, they could only fight with full strength, instead of guiding the challengers’ growth at exactly the right level.

Such Gym challenge matches had no value for challengers.

Most importantly, if there were too many people, Julian would have no time to rest!

He rushed out of his room.

"Kai, tomorrow, put a notice at the entrance. Veilstone Gym accepts challenges from Monday to Friday, 09:00 to 17:00."

"We rest on Saturday and Sunday."

Kai nodded.

"Understood, Master. Then are you still resting tomorrow?"

Julian rolled his eyes.

"Of course I’m resting! Otherwise, why did I handle all the challengers today? Wasn’t it so I wouldn’t leave any challenge matches for tomorrow?"

"Put up a notice saying I’ll be out visiting friends tomorrow, and ask challengers to come the day after tomorrow. You’ll come up the mountain with me too. The best training ground for you and Geodude is still in the mountains."

Kai nodded excitedly.

"Yes, Master!"

Kai clenched his fists, and his two thick eyebrows moved.

Youth! Burn to your heart’s content!

...

Early the next morning, Julian first went to the commercial street and bought special gifts for Gengar and Elekid.

Only then did he bring Kai up the mountain.

"Kai, we’re running there!"

Kai nodded and followed behind him, beginning to burn his youth.

After running for more than two hours, the two finally reached the foot of Verdant Cloud Mountain.

"Can you still keep going?"

Kai immediately nodded.

"Master, I still have energy."

"Very good. Full of spirit. Then let’s go up the mountain."

Julian brought Kai first to the pool where Gengar lived.

From far away, he saw the chubby ghost floating in the pool. Julian happily raised his hand and waved.

"Hey! Gengar!"

Hearing him call, Gengar immediately opened his eyes in the pool.

He flew up from the water, and after seeing Julian, Gengar also happily waved his arms, then flew towards him.

"Gengar!"

Arriving in front of Julian, he directly stretched out his large tongue and hit him with Lick.

Julian’s body went numb.

Fortunately, the qi in his core flowed, quickly helping him ease the discomfort.

He reached out and rubbed Gengar’s big head.

"Gengar, long time no see."

Returning to the side of the pool, Julian took out a string of rubber Psyduck in various poses from his backpack.

Besides the common yellow Psyduck, there were also shiny blue Psyduck.

These ducks were usually bath toys for children in the Pokémon world.

Julian felt that this pool was like Gengar’s swimming pool.

That was why this was the first gift he had thought of.

Looking at the ducks floating on the water, Gengar let out a happy, wicked giggle.

With Psychic, the Psyduck lined up in a row.

Then with another manipulation, the line twisted into an S-shape.

He even arranged them in a row and let them drift from upstream to downstream.

Just as they were about to leave the pool, Gengar retrieved them one by one.

For the Psyduck doll that arrived at the outlet first, he happily patted its rubber head as encouragement.

It swam the fastest, so it deserved praise.

Julian smiled and rubbed Gengar’s head.

"I was planning to take you down to the winding bay downstream and play like this there. I didn’t expect you to figure it out without being taught."

"Gengar, you really are the most cunning, most evil Gengar in the whole world!"

Gengar proudly raised his head.

Of course!

Julian smiled.

He knew exactly how to praise Gengar.
