Pokémon: The Zen Trainer

"Can you even get a date with Asu?"

"Um... we can make an appointment, but it's not certain whether Master Asu will be available."

The waitress then immediately changed the subject.

"So what services do trainers need from us?"

"Training skills? Or Pokémon battles? Or general training?"

"How about a Pokémon battle?"

"Okay, how many badges would you like, trainer?"

"Hmm, let's get a trainer with around three badges."

Having trained at the Kikyo Gym, Bian had a general idea of ​​what level a trainer with three badges was at.

“Okay, trainer with three badges.”

Are there any type requirements? Are there any Pokémon that require specific battles? Or what kind of battles are required?

"Or the skills used by the battle trainer?"

"No rules, please."

He thought for a moment and then said.

Bian wanted the clay doll to have a good experience in its first battle.

"Okay?"

"Excuse me, trainer, how many badges do you have?"

"I??"

Bian was stunned for a moment. Last time, Abi gave him a gold one.

Shouldn't this be considered a badge?

"A badge, perhaps?"

Bian thought for a moment, unsure whether it counted as a badge, since it was a gift from Abi...

"Ah...this..."

The waitress looked at her with some difficulty and thought about it.

"Trainer, since this is your first time at our gym, we are not very clear about your strength. Generally speaking, we recommend that trainers with one badge find trainers with one or two badges, as this will result in a greater improvement."

"If it exceeds your own level too much, it is likely to have the opposite effect."

"Our training center generally does not recommend that trainers challenge trainers who are above their level."

"All right"

It seems a bit troublesome.

He scratched his head as he thought about it.

"Let's start with a badge to practice and give the clay doll some confidence."

"Then please take out your badge."

The young lady looked at him politely and said something.

He then pulled a golden ladybug badge from his pocket.

The waitress smiled as she looked at the badge that Bian was about to pull out.

"The toy badges that this trainer bought from outside don't count."

Bian looked at the badge in his hand.

"I mean it."

"I completely understand how the trainer feels."

The waitress figured out that this young man was a student who had probably sneaked out to test his skills. But real-life trainer battles are much more brutal than what happens in school.

The waitress looked at the table, thought for a moment, and then said...

"How about we arrange a tournament without badges for you first?"

"After we have a basic assessment of your abilities, we can then determine a suitable opponent for you. Is that alright with you?"

This Challengers Club is quite rigorous. I thought to myself that this was my first time competing at the club. I had overheard people from the school team talking about it before, so I came.

"Well, okay."

"Then you can choose your opponent."

The waitress handed over the list.

Bian Xiang looked at the trainer and almost spat out his drink.

Baby group??

Caterpie, Weedle, Rattata, and Pidgey make up half the market.

There's even a Magikarp.

While it's true that we should build confidence in our clay figurines, isn't it a bit too much to challenge them to these opponents?

This isn't about building confidence in the clay figurines; it's about making them invincible!

According to the idea of ​​the side.

The best first battle for a Claydot is against a trainer with around three or four badges.

Players in this tier have the skill, but they're not exceptionally strong.

It's perfect for clay figurines to practice with, and you can also fully enjoy the fun of battles.

But the baby group...

While looking at the baby group, I looked up at the service lady.

I just can't bring myself to do it.

While I was thinking about it and still struggling with the decision.

He was patted on the back.

Bian Xiang turned his head to look at the unshaven man in front of him.

"Excuse me, what can I do for you?"

"hey-hey."

"Kid, you're looking for a trainer with three badges?"

"You can look for me, Umino!"

Bian Xiang turned her head to look at the somewhat rugged-looking man in front of her.

The waitress's expression changed when she saw the man.

"This trainer does not recommend that you challenge him directly."

"Oh? What? The Challenger Training Center is planning to change its rules?"

"Are they going to intervene in the free challenges between trainers?"

Umino looked at the waitress and said calmly.

Bian looked at Umino and saw that she had three badges.

"right!!"

Umino smiled slightly.

"How much of a challenge do you want?"

Bian Xiang looked at Haiye and asked.

For Bian Xiang, all badges with four or fewer are the same.

Starting with four badges is a watershed moment for trainers.

The competition among league trainers is also quite fierce.

If you and your Pokémon have never earned all four badges, then you may not be suited to the path of a trainer.

Haiye looked at Bianxiang with a slightly excited smile. He had heard everything Bianxiang had said to the young lady.

You can tell from his voice that this kid is a newbie.

Looks like a student from Haruno Junior High School.

Let me show you what it's like to be a tough guy in the real world!

I'll make you cry your way home.

Umino looked at it and thought to himself with some excitement.

"No extra fees! You only need to pay for the venue, because what I, Umino, like is helping beginners grow."

"Seeing newcomers grow makes me genuinely happy."
