Pokémon: Start with a Dragon-type Gym Leader, and pick up Guroton.

Chapter 28 Holy crap, the Flame Emperor?!

"Teacher Luo Chen, I admire you greatly, so I'm definitely going to unleash my full power in this battle! Please bring your strongest form to meet my torrent of attacks!"

Lin Jiahao's words were somewhat cryptic, and Li Luochen scratched his head, not wanting to say anything more.

While worshipping, they also flooded the area...

Is this some new sales pitch?

After saying this, Lin Jiahao started a live stream on the platform, and didn't forget to interact with the audience: "Friends in front of the screen, do you think Jiahao can get the badge of Master Luo Chen today?"

Trainers are not afraid of having their boxes opened.

No one knew whether what awaited them after opening the box was a Porygon or a Rotom coming through the internet.

Therefore, trainers often prefer to use their real names.

After all, the more famous a trainer is, the more money they earn. Of course, some trainers use pseudonyms.

As for why, perhaps it's inconvenient.

The vast majority of trainers still prefer to use their real names.

"Then I'll start a live stream here too."

Minrong Martial Arts Academy still needs to gain fame, and live streaming, as a new-era entertainment project, is loved by many men, women, and children.

Li Luochen would occasionally watch live streams, which could be considered a basic introduction.

Title: [Minrong Taekwondo Academy is now open! Welcome all trainees!]

Tags: [Experienced Players: 1] [Dojo] [Indoor Tournament]

[666, streamer, is this tag even legitimate?]

Each tag is fine on its own, but why does it look so strange when they're put together?

Wow, Yanbao, you're streaming so early today? I'm free for the Grand Contest, so I'll stay with you until the end of your stream!

"Welcome everyone. Welcome to 'The Idolmaster'~ Today's broadcast time will probably depend on the challenger's performance, but it shouldn't exceed three hours."

Li Luochen has a limited number of Pokémon, so he can only accept a maximum of three challengers a day.

A single match takes no more than an hour at most. After finishing three matches, quickly end the stream and have dinner. That's reasonable.

【OK, Yanbao, when are you coming to the Hoenn region? My uncle says he wants to meet you!】

"Your uncle? I don't think I know him?"

Li Luochen was certain he didn't know the uncle from [The Idolmaster], so he was a little confused by this sudden desire to see him.

【Huh? You two didn't know each other before? I see you have mutual friends, two more besides me.】

"Two? Hmm... I don't really understand. But I'll see when I have time to go and explore the Hoenn region. It would be nice to catch a Pokémon while I'm there."

There are many dragon-type Pokémon in the Hoenn region. Apart from legendary Pokémon and Mega Sceptile, there are also Flygon, Altaria, and Salamence.

Of the three Pokémon, Li Luochen was more interested in Salamence.

As for pseudo-legendary Pokémon, who wouldn't want to raise one with a base stat total of 600?

In terms of resources, he really can afford it.

At worst, I can go back to the secret realm and collect some more rare items to sell.

Even with brute force, you can still train a Pokémon to Gym Leader level.

This is utterly extravagant.

anyway.

I actually have two mutual friends with the uncle of [The Idolmaster]?

This surprised Li Luochen a bit.

I don't know who it is.

Could it be Mingyi?

Since the Idolmaster never revealed his identity, Li Luochen didn't have many clues.

Okay, let's get back to the main topic.

Right now, we should focus on the battles.

"Challenger, would you like to battle two against two, or three against three? Or perhaps you'd like to draw your desired Pokémon using a blind box format?"

Li Luochen placed the Charizard's Poké Ball next to him.

Then three Poké Balls appeared in his palm, which Lin Jiahao could choose from.

Charizard doesn't have the Dragon type, but he now has three Dragon-type Pokémon, so his gym will definitely focus on the Battle type.

"Um……"

Lin Jiahao fell into deep thought.

If Li Luochen were to choose for himself, he might pick the very strong one.

If you choose by yourself, and you're lucky, you might pick the weakest one.

The worst-case scenario is simply facing the strongest opponent.

but.

How many Dragon-type Pokémon are truly powerful in the early and mid-stages of the Elite level?

They're just ordinary dragon Pokémon like Altaria, Kingdra, Reddra, Ogre Magi, and Turtonator.

It's not the final form of late bloomer, so it's not worth mentioning.

With that in mind, Lin Jiahao pointed his finger and said, "Then I'll choose the third and second ones. Remember to go in order!"

"How about...you change it?"

Seeing Lin Jiahao's choice, Li Luochen kindly offered a reminder.

"It's alright, I'm a man of my word, that's how I am!"

Lin Jiahao spoke with a strong and resounding tone, exuding an air of heroic pride.

Seeing Li Luochen's embarrassed look, he was secretly delighted, thinking that he had chosen Hakron!

Correct!

That must be it!

Otherwise, I wouldn't have made him change it!

"Oh well."

Li Luochen returned to his command position, retrieved the other Poké Ball to his waist, and let out a long breath: "Challenger, do you know what fire is?"

"Fire is one of the three basic attributes, and it is also easily controlled by powerful dragons."

"Dragons breathe fire, capable of incinerating everything. Dragons are also fire-resistant; with a mere wave of their hand, they can extinguish raging flames."

"And my dragon is a master of fire!"

Lin Jiahao's expression gradually brightened.

It breathes fire and is fire-resistant, isn't that just a fire-breathing dragon!

snort!

When it comes to head-on combat, Laplace's water-type moves are no joke!

I, Lin Jiahao, possess Admiral Laplace, whose Surf attack can slay Charizard!

"Sky-Piercing Flame, it's you I choose!"

"Oh? And they even gave Charizard such a cool name... Holy crap, Entei?!"

Lin Jiahao was still thinking how good Li Luochen was to his Pokémon, even giving it such a cool name.

The Sky-Piercing Flame is just fire, a flying fire-breathing dragon!

When the red light dissipated and Lin Jiahao saw the Pokémon that had appeared, he was so frightened that he squeezed his legs together and almost dropped the Poké Ball in his hand.

It looks like a majestic lion, its limbs seem to be in shackles, and it can breathe fire from its back...

Hold the grass!

This looks exactly like Emperor Yan!

【? ? ? 】

What kind of Pokémon is this?!

【Flare, never heard of it! Is it some kind of related Pokémon to Entei?】

[Illiterate, that's called a regional form! It's said that the Galar region has regional forms of the three legendary birds from the Kanto region. Does that mean the Eastern Region also has regional forms of the three legendary beasts from the Johto region?]

[Wait a minute. If it's truly a regional form, shouldn't it be called Emperor Yan (as in the Eastern Empire)? Why is it called Sky-Piercing Flame?]

Don't you give your Pokémon nicknames?

The chat was buzzing with excitement, everyone was deeply impressed by the appearance of the Sky-Piercing Flame!

The new guild master has produced a level two god?!

In terms of base stats, Blazing Sky is superior to Flame Emperor.

Regarding rarity.

It seems that the Void-Breaking Flame is even rarer than the Flame Emperor?

Li Luochen stroked his chin, not thinking too much about it, and said to Lin Jiahao with a smile, "Challenger, it's time to send out your Pokémon."

It's not that he wants to be a mythical beast man.

It was Lin Jiahao who wanted him to be in charge.

Sigh, I can't refuse such kindness.

Lin Jiahao: Friends in front of the screen, how many moves do you think I can withstand from "Emperor Yan"?
