NABC Chapter 1461: The Second Showdown with Sakaki
Chapter 1461: The Second Showdown with Sakaki
The remaining dojo members, Yan Kaifeng and Li Zheng are basically the same. They are not arrogant, but just a little overconfident. They score 75 points.
Ning Yu and Lin Yang's teams are at opposite ends of the spectrum. Ning Yu's Pokémon are relatively weak, but he is clearly a very meticulous guy, and he gets along very well with Miss Skirt.
Miss Skirt is gentle and considerate. Although she goes all out in battle, she will also hold back depending on the situation, and sometimes she will smile and praise her challengers.
Given that Miss Skirt was able to develop such a personality, Ning Yu's personality must also be quite warm and caring.
Eighty percent.
Lin Yang's team is exceptionally strong, consisting of the final evolved forms of Galar's starter Pokémon, along with Troll Warlord, Espeon, and Teebris, forming an excellent team capable of making various tactical arrangements based on different situations.
Perhaps because even with such a team, they couldn't defeat his eldest son, Jin Lai, he, despite being somewhat impetuous, was not overly arrogant. Instead, he fully displayed the vigor of a young man.
Confident but not arrogant, proud but also humble.
However, he is still somewhat weak in his team's system-based combat, somewhat similar to Shinji now, who is a little too focused on the individual strength of Pokémon, so... 70 points is just a small warning.
Finally, there's Liu Hui.
Qianlin almost crashed; it was really just a hair's breadth away.
While Hui-ge's formal battle prowess may not be as good as Jin-lai's, his individual Pokémon strength has far surpassed everyone else's through continuous grinding in the nests, allowing him to easily defeat most opponents without much tactical setup.
He is also the only one who only lost to Shinji, and that was to Shinji's entire team. Even Ash, Rogal, Guzma, and Nemo couldn't beat him. Among all of them, Guzma was the one who came closest to defeating Liu Hui.
But we just haven't beaten him yet. My brother Hui's Abandoned Monkey is simply inhuman. So far, he has only lost once to Shinji's first team of main players. The rest of the time, as long as he is on the field, there is no possibility of him losing.
The teams Qianlin used were generally not very strong, and were significantly weaker than Liu Hui's teams.
As mentioned before, tactics raise the ceiling, while a Pokémon's raw strength is its floor. Qianlin's temporary team has a lower floor, and even with tactics to raise the ceiling, they still can't beat the real Elite Four. Their floor is your ceiling, and that's the difference.
However, Liu Hui's strength was not yet at that level. Under Qianlin's management, he managed to salvage some face and avoid a complete disaster.
However, Liu Hui's tactical arrangement was indeed a bit poor, higher than the average level of trainers in Yanxia, but lower than the average level of gym leaders, so... 80 points.
The day's testing is over.
Chizuru took off his disguise and went to the restaurant arranged by Shin-tori. He calmly flipped through the book that Shin-tori had written about his evaluations of the various dojo masters.
Looking at Qianlin, who had changed back into men's clothing, Yike looked somewhat regretful. The Qixi Qingniao next to her also looked regretful, sitting on the other side of Qianlin and glancing at his face from time to time before sighing.
Zheng Yaqian held Qianlin's wig, breast pads, and clothes, her eyes darting around as if she were thinking about something.
Liu Ruyan huddled in the corner, trembling, and dared not speak.
Zeng Sheng?
Du Juan woke up, and he went back to take care of her.
"Ruyan," Qianlin said softly.
Liu Ruyan jumped up and immediately stood at attention: "Present!"
"Your breathing is disturbing me," Qianlin said calmly.
Liu Ruyan blushed and sat down weakly, saying, "I'm sorry..."
Now I don't even dare to breathe loudly.
Liu Ruyan was in tears.
The Alola Tournament preliminaries are in a few days. After the gyms close, the selection process for the top 64 will begin, and then everyone will fight their way up from there.
All the gym leaders will go to the arena to help out, whether as referees or security personnel. Once everything is done, these trainers from Yanxia will all return to Earth and take over as gym leaders in their respective cities.
The three confirmed gym leaders are Jinlai, Liu Hui, and Luo Kai. Although the remaining three are 99% confirmed, they cannot be called gym leaders; they can only be called reserve members.
However, after this test, apart from Liu Ruyan and Lei Yan, everyone else who remains can confirm that they will take over the position of gym leader after returning.
Liu Ruyan needs to go to the wilderness to train new recruits for a period of time. The location will be confirmed by the Yanxia Alliance. Lei Yan's punishment has not yet been determined. Training new recruits is definitely going to happen, but his mistake is more serious than Liu Ruyan's, so there should be some other punishment tasks.
He won't be able to take over as dojo master for at least a month or two.
"Currently, the confirmed dojo masters are Jin Lai, Liu Hui, Luo Kar, Tang Li, Li Zheng, Yan Kaifeng, and Ning Yu. We are still one short of the minimum requirement of eight dojo masters." Qian Lin flipped through the documents in his hand, lost in thought.
Because the Master League finals are to be held on Earth, but the qualifying rounds for the eight Masters are held throughout the Pokémon world, the Summer League saw the Galar League and the Alola League and excitedly applied to the Pokémon League for league qualification.
Then it was approved instantly.
Therefore, during the Master League, the Summer League will also try to hold regional leagues, and the Pokémon League will provide maximum assistance.
The minimum standard for regional leagues is eight dojos.
The trainers who come out of the breeding center now are not yet capable of shouldering this responsibility. Team Abstract was the first batch of trainers to come out of the breeding center, and the members of Team Abstract were also very lucky to be among the first to draw the qualification to come to the Pokémon world, which is why they have made such a big improvement.
However, the other trainers from the same batch are currently only at the level of ordinary trainers, and their strength is not enough to shoulder the responsibility of a gym leader.
We can't just let Yike go, can we?
Eko used to be okay, but not anymore. After experiencing the suction of the Mirror World and communicating with Eko, Eko's Pokémon knowledge is now only lower than Chilin's. In addition, her Pokémon strength is not weak either, and she is more than capable of being an Elite Four member. It would be unfair for her to become a Gym Leader now.
Or... we can talk about punishment later?
Qianlin looked at Liu Ruyan, who was standing on the other side, timid and not daring to speak loudly.
After thinking about it, he put the document down.
Forget it, let the Summer League have its own headaches. Anyway, there are already seven people. If they really can't find anyone else, they can just let the Rockets trio fill in.
These three are absolutely talented as long as they don't cause trouble; they'll just be dojo leaders for a while.
Thinking of this, Qianlin handed the documents to Zhenniao: "That's fine. Send these documents back to the Yanxia Alliance. If there are any other instructions, have them contact me directly. Send me a copy of the punishment decisions for Liu Ruyan and Lei Yan after they are released."
Liu Ruyan, who was opposite, trembled.
"Yes, Lord Chibayashi." Masato took the document and handed over a tablet. "Lord Sakaki has approved your connection request. The connection will be established in three minutes."
"Isn't it a meeting?" Qianlin asked in surprise.
Shinji straightened up: "Crimson and Blue have agreed, and Lance has not refused. Of the remaining people, I think the only one you need to persuade is Lord Sakaki. As long as Lord Sakaki agrees, then no one else has the right to refuse, including the Kanto Alliance."
Domineering exposed.
Qianlin gave a thumbs up: "As expected of Boss Sakaki."
You can no longer explain why Kantō would establish a league at Team Rocket's base.
