The hardcore Pokémon world can also be warm

Chapter 167

Even though Lijia said so, Yang Yan still had a question in his mind.

"Master Lijia, your apprentices must be much stronger than me, right? I was lucky enough to win this time only because you restricted the strength of the Pokémon that went into battle. If I really let go, I would definitely not be their opponent. So, logically speaking, letting them go on the field would increase the possibility of winning!"

Lijia smiled and did not explain, but asked back: "Then what do you think their strength is at?"

Yang Yan thought about it. The other party was older than him, and with the identity of the Yuhong Gym apprentice, even if he was a civilian trainer, he should have at least more than one Pokémon with advanced strength or more than three Pokémon with intermediate strength.

In fact, when most civilian trainers choose to train their second Pokémon, the strength of the initial Pokémon must at least reach the primary level, or even close to the intermediate level.

People like Yang Yan who have captured a large number of Pokémon not long after becoming a trainer cannot be used as a reference.

Since the final evolution level of most Pokémon is 30-40, which is intermediate strength, the speed of Pokémon's strength improvement will drop a lot after this, so generally at this time, most trainers start to improve their teams.

"I think they have at least 3 or more intermediate Pokémon, and some even have advanced strength!"

Yang Yan tentatively expressed his judgment.

Lijia smiled and covered her face: "Then you guessed wrong. In fact, among them, even the strongest Nayue only has 4 intermediate Pokémon, one of which is the Bulbasaur. The others basically have only one or two intermediate Pokémon. It's not as exaggerated as you think!"

"How could it be?!" Yang Yan couldn't help but exclaimed.

Anyway, this fact is indeed quite different from what he predicted.

"In your eyes, what kind of people, or what kind of strength of people are gym apprentices?"

"This...?"

To be honest, Yang Yan's understanding of gym apprentices is actually extremely limited.

"It seems Qianli didn't tell you. So, let me explain it to you..."

After a while, through Lijia's narration, Yang Yan had a better understanding of the identity of "gym apprentice".

It turns out that in addition to the previously mentioned training of reserve talents for the alliance and strengthening of ties with local people, the gym owner's apprenticeship is also limited in time!

Generally, when the apprentice's Pokémon has 2 or more high-level Pokémon, the apprenticeship will automatically end.

This is because trainers with high-level Pokémon are already the backbone of trainers. At this time, no matter what they do, at least they can support themselves.

In addition to the knowledge they have learned in the gym, they already have enough ability to plan their own lives.

If the gym is compared to the academy, the apprentice is actually similar to the student.

In other words, they are equivalent to graduation at this time!

It's time to go out and build your own business and make your own world!

No longer need to stay in the gym as a miserable apprentice.

Of course, if the person does not have that intention and wants to stay in the gym, it is not a bad idea, but not as an apprentice, but as a staff member who has signed a formal contract.

Yang Yan had no idea about these things before, so it is reasonable that he misjudged the strength of those girls.

"Even if it is true as you said, I guess when the final selection comes, the strength of those participants is very likely to have at least one high-level Pokémon. I am a little far from that level now...!"

Yang Yan said helplessly.

"Don't worry about this, the personnel selection competition will not start immediately, there is still time!"

"Oh, I don't know, when exactly?"

If there is enough time, it's okay, but I'm afraid it will conflict with the alliance selection.

"The tentative date is after the New Year next year, but the exact date has not been determined yet. As you know, this matter involves many aspects, and those people in the upper echelons are still arguing. How can they be determined so quickly? I estimate that the official visit will be in the second half of next year at the earliest."

"At the beginning of the year? Now it's August, which means I still have about 4 months. Can I cultivate a high-level strength?"

It should be mentioned here that the school time in this world is slightly different from that in his previous life.

The school time is from January to June and from July to November every year.

Summer vacation in June and winter vacation in December.

The school time after the New Year is generallyMid-January, which is similar to the previous life.

It seems that the 5-month study time per semester is very long, but it is not at all, because the course pressure of the academy is much less than that of the previous life. There is no pressure to enter a higher school, and there is no cram school or other things that take up rest time, and there are two days of vacation every week.

In fact, the class time is not long at all.

Just like Yang Yan, he should have stayed in the academy, but he ran all the way to Kanto, and no one would think it was wrong.

The academy here is not so much for teaching and educating people as it is for providing an interactive communication platform for the vast number of trainers who do not want to travel.

Let those children who cannot be taken care of by their parents because of work have a playmate, make friends and learn some knowledge by the way, this is the real idea of ​​most parents.

"Are you worried that your strength will not be enough by then?"

Seeing that Yang Yan kept his head down and did not speak, Li Jia asked.

"I have this concern. Besides, since I'm representing the Jade Rainbow Gym, do I need to use the Grass type as well?"

Lika thought for a moment and said, "Of course I hope you can use the Grass type, but no one has ever said that the apprentices of a certain attribute gym must use Pokémon of a certain attribute. If you are not strong enough, you can't force it, right? But I also hope that if the situation allows, please let the Wood Shovel appear more. As the representative of the Grass type gym, it doesn't seem to be reasonable to not have a Grass type."

"I know, I'll try my best."

It takes 4 months to train Masana to an advanced level. Although the time is a bit tight, it is not impossible. As for the Wood Shovel, it has just reached the elementary level, so there is no need to force it.

By the way, the Wood Shovel doesn't seem to have said that it wants to become Yang Yan's Pokémon...?

Yang Yan scratched his head in embarrassment: "Well, Lijia, the master, the woodbine is not strictly speaking my Pokémon. The thing is..."

Then Yang Yan told the story of the woodbine and why it was put into the Poké Ball.

After listening, Lijia asked in confusion: "Doesn't your heart think that the woodbine is your companion?"
