Pokémon, start your journey from the Donghuang Alliance

"Well, Su Yuan, you really don't think of us as brothers, do you? You told us that you have to repair for a day today, and then you can sneak over to the gym to fight after that, right?"

"Well, that's not the case. Just listen to me first."

Su Yuan didn't expect Zhang Long's reaction to be so big, so he quickly explained.

"It was a complete accident that I got this badge. It was in the morning..."

He explained from beginning to end what happened when he went out to buy energy cubes in the morning and met Ma Tianyi.

After listening, Zhang Long sighed helplessly.

"It turns out that's the case. There's really nothing we can do about it."

Su Yuan found that something was not right in the atmosphere and asked with some confusion.

"No, what's wrong? What's going on?"

Zhang Long wanted to speak, but in the end he couldn't.

"Let me tell you."

Zhuang Yan finally explained.

"Su Yuan, this meal is actually Zhang Long's dinner with us."

"Ah? What kind of food? Did I hear you correctly?"

Su Yuan didn't react at the first moment and thought he had heard wrongly.

"It's a break-up meal. After this meal, Zhang Long will leave tomorrow morning after finishing the Gym Challenge."

"No, what happened? Zhang Long, why did you leave?"

This time it was Su Yuan's turn to not be calm. He frowned and looked at Zhang Long with a familiar expression, hoping to get the answer from his face.

Zhang Long smiled bitterly and then explained.

"I also received a call this afternoon. Something happened at home. They asked me to go back as soon as possible..."

Chapter 261, this time, I am the audience

Life is not always perfect, just like Su Yuan once thought that the iron triangle formed by himself, Zhang Long and Zhuang Yan would travel until the end.

But all the banquets in the world happened so unexpectedly. Due to some reasons at home, Zhang Long had to stop traveling and go back immediately.

Su Yuan could have asked him to go back first, while he and Zhuang Yan waited for him in Hangzhou for a few days.

But Zhang Long rejected Su Yuan's proposal. Although he didn't say why he went back, as long as he left, he might not come back for a while.

In other words, if Su Yuan wants to see Zhang Long again after seeing each other tomorrow, he will probably have to wait until the end of the semester to return to school to report on the progress of his travel studies.

It is true that no one can accompany others forever.

Just like Xiaozhi has been traveling for ten years, and his partners have changed one after another.

No one except Pikachu can accompany Xiaozhi from beginning to end, and I can't expect Zhang Long to travel with me forever.

Thinking of this, Su Yuan suddenly looked at Zhuang Yan and asked tentatively.

"Brother Zhuang Yan, are you leaving too?"

Zhuang Yan smiled.

"Probably not for the time being."

"temporary?!"

Su Yuan felt his heart skip a beat.

Zhuang Yan said.

"I didn't want to say it at first, but since you asked, I might as well say it. Once the trip reaches Dongshan, you may need to go on the rest of the journey by yourself."

"Dongshan."

In fact, Su Yuan had already made a guess in his mind.

Zhuang Yan was also going to participate in the Donghuang League competition. He was already wasting his time preparing for the competition by traveling with him and Zhang Long.

So when the trip reaches Dongshan, he will stop there and start preparing wholeheartedly for the Donghuang League competition.

The atmosphere in the private room was a little gloomy for a while.

In the end, Zhang Long was the first to speak.

"Okay, don't think so much, Su Yuan, please listen to me. Although I will go home tomorrow, it does not mean that my trip to the training room will stop here. Don't let Brother Zhuang Yan and I It’s the league competition, but you stopped.”

Su Yuan laughed and cursed.

"What are you talking about? I won't stop even if you stop. I won't stop easily until my ideal comes true."

With ideals as the starting point, the atmosphere finally relaxed, and the three of them chatted about their future ideals.

The next morning, the three of them packed their bags and set off for the Soul Gym.

Only this time, Zhang Long was the only one participating in the Gym Challenge.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the Soul Gym was already open, and many people were queuing up.

"Wow, there are quite a few people here already. I thought we got up quite early."

Outside the gym, Zhang Long looked at the people partying at the registration desk of the gym

"We did get up early, but we were delayed by someone packing their luggage."

Su Yuan couldn't help but complain to Zhang Long. He didn't understand. Can't he finish the gym challenge first and then go back to pack his luggage? Why do you have to pack your luggage and carry a travel bag to participate in the gym competition?

Even if you are in a hurry, there is no need to do this.

Zhang Long smiled awkwardly and explained.

"Ahaha, I can't help it. I have to catch a plane, so I packed it in advance so that I can finish the gym challenge and go directly to the airport."

Zhuang Yan asked.

"Are you in such a hurry? You even have to save time on a round trip to the hotel?"

Zhang Long's face became even weaker.

"What about that? I drank too much yesterday, and I didn't read it clearly when I bought the ticket. I bought a ticket for the flight that takes off at ten o'clock this morning."

"You're so awesome."

Just when Su Yuan was complaining about Zhang Long, a familiar voice sounded.

"Little friend Su."

Su Yuan looked in the direction of the sound. Ma Tianyi, who was wearing Tai Chi suit and had just returned from morning exercise, was standing beside him and happily greeted Su Yuan.

"Master of the stable, what a coincidence. Have you just come back from morning training?"

"Haha, yes, I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that I bumped into you just after I came back."

"The owner of the stable?"

Zhuang Yan and Zhang Long both looked at the middle-aged man who was not too tall in front of them with some surprise.

As he spoke, he glanced at Zhang Long and Zhuang Yan, and then looked at Zhang Long who was carrying a travel bag.

"This little friend must be Zhang Long."

Zhang Long nodded.

"Hello Master, please give me your advice on the battlefield later."

Ma Tianyi laughed.

"Easy to say, easy to say. Little friend Zhang Long is indeed as full of firepower and enthusiasm as they said."

"Them? Who are they?"

Su Yuan explained.

"Who else could it be? Those gym leaders who have fought against us. Didn't I tell you before that our story has been spread within the circle of gym leaders."

"Oh, that's it."

Zhang Long clapped his hands with a look of enlightenment on his face.

Ma Tianyi on the side looked at Zhuang Yan.

"Presumably, you must be little friend Zhuang Yan."

"Nice to meet you, Master of the stable."

"Haha, it's a pleasure to meet you. I haven't seen the holder of the eight top badges in Yuhang for several years. Let's communicate when we have time."

Ma Tianyi looked at Zhuang Yan with burning eyes.

Zhuang Yan also became interested.

"Of course, I'm extremely happy."

As he spoke, Ma Tianyi suddenly thought of something, turned around and said to Su Yuan apologetically.

"I'm sorry, little friend Su Yuan. I was in a hurry to go back to the gym yesterday and forgot to register your badge. Come on, give me your trainer ID card now and I'll have someone register it for you."

Su Yuan took out his identity card from his pocket and handed it to Ma Tianyi.

Ma Tianyi took the ID card and handed it to a staff member. The matter entrusted by the gym leader himself was quickly completed.

At the same time, Su Yuan finally got the tip from Golden Finger.

[Task progress +1

Series mission five: Soul gym challenge completed!

Reward: Reward battle points * 10,000 points, special skill points 10, secret skill machine * 1]

Nice, now you can add some energy cube production to the intermediate level. However, if this progress continues, it is estimated that it will take two more gyms to unlock the advanced level and create advanced energy cubes.

But that's okay, since I can't afford an energy cube making machine at the moment anyway.

Even if advanced production is turned on, there is no machine for me to use, so I'd better wait and see.

After chatting for a while, Ma Tianyi said goodbye to the three of them and began to prepare to meet the challenger, while Su Yuan and Zhang Long bought two tickets and entered the audience.

"La~, la la la~, la la la la la~!"

The exciting music in the audience was heard in the ears, and a huge screen broadcast live broadcasts of the situation on the battlefield from various angles.

Under the auditorium is the battlefield, where an energetic young trainer is fighting, working hard to achieve his dream.

"Is this what it feels like to sit in the audience and watch the game? It's really exciting!"

After playing in a gym match for so long, this was the first time that Su Yuan sat in the audience and watched other people fight live. In the past, he was playing on the field while others were watching. This time, he was also an audience.

The warm atmosphere and exciting Pokémon battles deeply affected Su Yuan. It turned out that it was so interesting to watch others battle in the audience. No wonder there were so many spectators in every gym competition.

Chapter 262: Don’t waste my precious time, okay?

In the Soul Gym, the Gym Challenge is ongoing.

Challengers and gym trainers collide on the battlefield, the battle of wits between trainers and trainers, and the battle between Pokémon and Pokémon are intertwined into exciting scenes.

Whenever the battle comes to a critical moment, exciting music sounds, seeming to reflect the inner world of the challenger.

When the referee's whistle blows and the final result of the battle is settled, regardless of whether the challenge is a failure or a victory, the audience outside the stadium will give the challenger the warmest applause and cheers.

Finally, as the last challenger on the battlefield regretfully retired, the next challenger's information appeared on the big screen.

"Let us welcome the next challenger, Zhang Long, with applause!"

Amidst a burst of warm applause and cheers, Zhang Long stepped onto the battlefield.

Zhang Long stood in the center, looked around, and soon found Su Yuan and Zhuang Yan in the audience.

He looked at the two of them and raised his right hand and gave a thumbs up, his face still showed Su Yuan's familiar smile, sunshine, cheerfulness and unparalleled confidence.

"You guys, just watch my performance!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was immediately ignited, and the audience thought that these words were meant for them.
