I, the first trainer of the new world

In reality, badges in regional tournaments don't necessarily have to be acquired in a specific order. However, there may be minimum requirements for certain gyms, such as the Lumiose City Gym in the Kalos region, which requires at least three badges to challenge.

Therefore, most trainers will choose the order of gyms recommended by the league when challenging gyms in a region, which is the so-called challenge from weak to strong.

The first gym in Kanto is the Rock-type Pygmy Gym, the second is the Water-type Cerulean Gym, the third is the Electric-type Vermilion Gym, the fourth is the Grass-type Rainbow Gym, the fifth is the Poison-type Fuchsia Gym, the sixth is the Psychic-type Goldenrod Gym, the seventh is the Fire-type Cinnabar Gym, and the eighth is the Viridian Gym.

Then, the first gym has a chance to challenge Mega Steelix, the second has a chance to challenge Mega Gyarados, the third gym leader is a former Team Rocket fighter, and the fourth gym leader is the master of the Pokémon world's substitution, defense, and poison tactics...

Don't despair yet, because there's more to come. The fifth is a former Team Rocket fighter, the sixth is a former Team Rocket fighter, the seventh is a former Team Rocket researcher, and the eighth is a former Gym Leader who was the leader of Team Rocket, while the current Gym Leader is a Battle Legend.

Go ahead, fight!

Since Team Rocket disbanded, the gym leaders have become more humane. If you perform well, you can barely earn badges. Some of the retired Team Rocket gym leaders are actually the most friendly to new trainers.

While Mega Steelix and Mega Gyarados are tough to beat, the Gym Leader is kind; you can still get a badge even if you don't win.

There are only two dojos that are not humane.

The first one is the Rainbow Gym. Rika is very gentle and kind to new trainers... but it's really hard to stay calm when battling her. It's almost impossible to gain the Gym Leader's approval while in a red-hot state.

Who can guarantee that their tactical arrangements will be flawless once they reach a red-hot status?

The second one is the Viridian Gym. There's no other reason than that Bluegreen has high standards. It's one thing to lose to a Legendary player, but losing to Alakazam is really upsetting.

In Kanto, almost every trainer out of 100 can obtain badges. Among them, 30 trainers can obtain six badges, 3 trainers can obtain seven badges, and nearly zero trainers can obtain all eight badges.

Not a single one out of a hundred trainers can get eight badges!

How many trainers does the Kanto League produce in a year?

There are fewer than a hundred trainers who can get eight badges to participate in the league every year. The rest are all from schools. It would be a miracle if the league was exciting.

Therefore, Kanto trainers are generally not as good as those from other regions on average, but their high-end fighters can still easily defeat trainers from other regions.

Three out of the four Elite Four members can go toe-to-toe with the champion, and five out of the eight dojo masters, besides that one, can fight the Elite Four members. Do you think this is reasonable?

Online battles are extremely popular throughout the Kanto region, with many trainers choosing to be trainers online because being a real trainer is too difficult.

"Now, online battles in Kanto are starting to spread to other regions, and trainers in various regions are researching ways to counter Substitute, Protect, and Poison." Mako put down the document and looked at Eevee in the arena, whose eyes were gradually turning into circles in the poison.

Qianlin sighed, "Wouldn't you say I've committed a heinous crime?"

Although the Kanto region's substitute poison team does have a high win rate, it's not a perfect record; at most, they only manage to get half-body images, not full-body images.

Moreover, this only applies to Kanto; in other regions, the online battle substitute poison isn't that strong, just like Rika has lost before.

The difficulty isn't in protecting the poison, but in figuring out how to deal with it when you encounter it.

Yi Ke laughed out loud: "Are you going to teach them how to completely control the poison?"

“We don’t need that kind of thing.” Qianlin smiled helplessly and patted Yike’s head. “You know, with enough firepower, Ti Shoudu has no chance of surviving, just like Zhu Zi.”

The biggest reason why Zhu Zi's team couldn't survive was that the firepower was too strong, and the team simply couldn't withstand it.

Currently, defensive teams are not frequently seen on the Pokémon battle platform in the Mirror World, because the firepower of each team has been greatly enhanced, and ordinary defensive teams cannot survive at all, so they have to come up with some fancy tricks.

For example, the incredibly fast Dragonite, like the Taijing.

“Right now, Pokémon trainers haven’t thought of this yet. Their understanding of Pokémon battles hasn’t transcended the limitations of individual Pokémon strength. When trainers realize that the strength of a single Pokémon doesn’t equate to the strength of an entire team, then Substitute, Protect, and Poison will just be a somewhat troublesome tactic.” Chihaya smiled as he looked at the trainers around him.

Look at the champions who are close to Qianlin, and the kings of various regions. Which of them can be defeated by a basic tactic like "substitute defense poison"?

Including Qinglv, Daigo, Cynthia, and Karen, who witnessed Chibayashi commanding the battle, they never believed that the powerful one was the substitute poison, but rather Chibayashi.

Even though Shiba publicly stated that he was unwilling to accept Rika's challenge, the reason he was so badly defeated by Rika was because it was the first time they had met. If Rika's team did not upgrade, she would definitely lose even more miserably if she fought Shiba a second time.

Rika herself understood this, which is why she sought out Chibayashi again to ask about the limitations of the substitute poison.

Then they were crushed by a specialized team.

Don't assume that Rika is still only using Substitute, Protector, and Poison in gym battles. Her team now includes Decidueye and Whimsicott, so it's no longer a pure Substitute, Protector, and Poison team, but is evolving into an all-around defensive team.

Qianlin was quite looking forward to seeing what this all-around submissive team would look like after its complete evolution; it would definitely be even more disgusting... I mean, even more powerful.

"But you'll still feel disgusted, right?" Yi Ke smiled and looked at Qian Lin.

"Ahem..." Qianlin turned his head awkwardly.

That cannot be refuted.

Shin-tori turned to Chibayashi and asked, "Does Master Chibayashi want to personally test the progress of these Earth Trainers?"

Qianlin and Yike were both stunned and looked at the real bird in disbelief.

"Me?" Qianlin pointed to the Poké Ball at his waist, his eyes widening. "Are you trying to make this makeshift gym fly?"

Even without any tactics, given Liu Ruyan's current strength, Qianlin could easily defeat all six of them with just Xiao Liuwei.

Vulpix is ​​no ordinary Pokémon. She was formerly a champion and was later resurrected by Arceus. No normal Gym Leader could possibly be her match.

However, the bird remained completely calm, even revealing a faint smile: "I have prepared a disguise for you, and you can choose any Pokémon you like. Their strength is at the level of an ordinary elite trainer. Give me a minute, and the team you need will be delivered to you."

Yi Ke blinked.

Qianlin stroked his chin, a look of interest in his eyes: "It seems... quite interesting."

Test these gym leaders with Pokémon at the level of elite trainers. Just disguise yourself well so these guys don't notice.

"Let's do it!" Qianlin slapped his thigh and said excitedly, "Prepare a rotation team for me, I'll demonstrate to them how to fight the poison under the guise of a substitute."

Yi Ke, her face flushed, smiled and looked at him with narrowed eyes: "I'll cheer you on."

The bird seemed to click its tongue in displeasure, but the sound vanished as if it were an illusion.

She took out her communicator and asked earnestly, "So, Lady Qianlin, what Pokémon or item do you need? Are there any requirements regarding moves or abilities?"

"They're just ordinary Pokémon." Qianlin's lips curled into a smile as he looked down at Liu Ruyan, who was beaming with pride on the battlefield, and laughed like a villain.

Well, now we're going to have to give these eight guys a good beating.

Hopefully, they won't get so caught up in dominating weaker opponents that they forget to improve themselves.

Otherwise, if you use the attribute counter chart at least ten times, the worse you play, the more you'll copy.
