I was resurrected and became a Ghost-type Pokémon Master.

Chapter 26 Earth Rock Gym

The League has a dedicated League Gym in every city.

Most of these gyms are run and managed by League Gym Leaders.

Of course, there are also Elite Four level trainers who have three or more Pokémon at level 80 and become Gym Leaders.

These dojos are not usually responsible for the management of the city.

They simply open the door every day to welcome challenges from various trainers and provide some guidance or supervision.

Additionally, if a challenger gains the approval of the Gym Leader, they will be given a Gym Badge. Collecting eight badges allows the challenger to participate in the League Conference held every four years.

In addition, the most important responsibility of a dojo master is to protect the city.

To ensure the city's stable development through force.

If the Gym Leader encounters a situation that the Alliance Prosecutor's Office cannot resolve, then the Gym Leader will take over those matters.

Then use your own Pokémon to resolve the danger.

Therefore, the gym leader of each city can basically be considered the strongest in that city.

This is also why Guihai wanted to challenge the gym leader.

Because only the gym leader has the strength to fight him.

The Rocky City Gym—the Rocky City Gym—is the face of Rocky City.

The gym owner, Shi Lei, is also a top-tier trainer.

He's just like Guihai.

Only when three Pokémon reach level 80 or above and possess the strength of an Elite Four member can a person become an Elite Four trainer.

It's not that all six Pokémon in the team are veteran Elite Four level trainers.

However, Shi Lei is much older than Gui Hai.

Having immersed himself in the field of rock systems for many years, his understanding of the origin is stronger than that of Guihai.

He is a good opponent for Oni-kai.

......

Shi Lei is a man in his forties.

Time has given him a weathered look.

But this man remained as hard as a rock.

They still have a persistent pursuit of strength.

Over the years, he has been trying to train various Rock-type Pokémon, hoping to build a team where all members are level 80.

However, training requires time and resources.

Over the years, he still hasn't been able to train a qualified Pokémon.

He recently discovered a very promising Onix and is now investing resources in its development.

So he only accepts challenges from trainers in the morning, and trains the Onix in the afternoon.

He defeated another trainer who came to challenge him.

Shi Lei gave a few brief instructions and then prepared to rest.

As he walked, Shi Lei pondered how to reassure the newly tamed Onix to train with peace of mind.

That giant onyx snake, for some reason, has quite a bit of talent.

However, its personality is unusually playful for an Onix.

He dislikes training and fighting.

They only like to scare passersby with cosplay sculptures in commercial areas.

This morning, for some reason, this guy got a fright.

He sheepishly dug a hole and ran back to the dojo, leaving him with repair costs and a fine.

Just as Shi Lei was getting worried, his encyclopedia suddenly beeped twice, reminding him that there was new information.

Shi Lei took out the Gym Leader's Pokédex from the pocket of his somewhat dirty work pants.

The encyclopedia also looked rather dull at this point.

After all, this is the style of rocks and ground fighting, so it's inevitable that they'll get some dust on them.

Wipe the dust off the illustration.

Shi Lei opened the message and his brows suddenly furrowed.

"A challenge? This afternoon?"

Shi Lei was about to refuse.

However, when he saw the message prefix, his finger, which was about to press the reject button, suddenly stopped.

This is because it's not a normal way to book a gym challenge.

Instead, the challenge invitation was sent directly from the alliance's internal network.

Such invitations are usually extended to gym leaders within the league, or other trainers at the gym level or above, in order to challenge trainers of the same level to a higher level.

You can refuse.

However, any trainer who wants to improve will accept it.

Because sometimes battling against trainers of the same level is a better way to improve both yourself and your Pokémon than training alone.

Shi Lei clicked on the match invitation.

Soon I saw the trainer's information who had sent the invitation.

"Guihai? A Ghost-type Elite Four level trainer?"

I saw the words "King-level".

Shi Lei gripped the illustrated guide with a slight tightening of his hand.

My long-dormant passion is boiling within me.

Although he battles different trainers every day.

However, the skill level of these trainers is really hard to describe.

It's hard to find a true expert.

Not to mention the top-tier masters.

He longed to spar with strong opponents and gain insight into the power of others.

See if you can find some areas where you are lacking and make improvements.

However, as the owner of a dojo, he was bound by his duties and could not abandon his post.

They can only fight opponents of equal skill level during the annual Gym Leader Challenge period.

No need to wait anymore.

A Champion-level trainer proactively issued him a challenge invitation.

If he accepts, he will be able to fight against other masters of the same Heavenly King level.

Shi Lei excitedly scrolled down Gui Hai's information, found the "agree" button, and pressed it.

And edit a text message and send a private message to Ghost Sea.

"3 PM today, at the Chikuma City Dojo. See you there!"

After sending this message, Shi Lei stopped training.

He loudly ordered the staff working at the dojo:

"The museum is closed this afternoon. Please cancel all other business."

"You need to inspect the gym's battle setup and ensure the battle facilities are functioning properly."

The staff members responsible for assisting the dojo master with his affairs were all taken aback upon hearing this.

Previously, although the museum owner wouldn't accept challenges in the afternoon, the museum wouldn't close either.

The dojo is open every day, allowing other people to battle here.

Why is the museum closed today?

They were also tasked with inspecting the gym's battle facilities.

Could it be that the remnants of the Revival Society have returned?

Or has the owner's enemy attacked?

Shi Lei didn't explain anything to these people.

He jogged back to his courtyard behind the dojo, gathered his main players, and prepared to give them a pre-match pep talk.

......

Ghost Sea, who was having lunch at the hotel, was suddenly shocked by Rotom's electric shock.

It made his arm feel a little numb.

Rotom smiled slyly and flashed a "success" emoji on the Pokédex.

Then he showed Guihai his successful reservation information and the private message from Shi Lei, the curator.

"Your challenge has been accepted. The opponent requests a battle at the Earth Rock Gym at 3 PM, Loto."

Gui Hai shook his slightly numb arm and looked at Shi Lei's reply.

"Great, everyone get some rest. We'll challenge this Rock-type Elite Four level trainer this afternoon."

Gengar and Mimikyu each raised their bowls and shouted.

Meanwhile, Rotom secretly wanted to use his electric powers again.

This time, however, Ghost Sea dodged first and glared at Rotom while wearing a mysterious mask.

Rotom was so frightened that he scurried back into the shadows.
