Chapter 836 Guardian, Crystal Steelix!
Shen Gong.
A former professional trainer who raised several Pokémons but retired very early.
On the surface, he opened a shop selling various souvenirs and rare stones in the Champion Road to make a living.
But in addition to his superficial identity, he also has a very powerful hidden identity.
That is, the guardian of the Guardian-level Pokémon Crystal Steelix that lives in the crystal cave of the Champion Road.
Although he is a guardian, in fact, Crystal Steelix does not need the protection of a trainer at all, not to mention that Shen Gong is just an ordinary professional trainer.
His task is to take some delicious Pokémon food from time to time to get in touch with Crystal Steelix.
This is a friendship passed down by his father, and it is also what the Trainer Association hopes to see. It is naturally a happy thing for human trainers and wild Guardians to keep on good terms.
Therefore, although Shen Gong is just an ordinary professional trainer, with the identity of the Guardian of Crystal Steelix, his reputation in the top circle is not low.
However, Shen Gong does not pursue strength very much. After getting married and having children, he cares even less about the things in the field of trainers.
Pokémon battles... Pokémon battles... How can it be more fun than being with your wife and children?
However, occasionally, Shen Gong would still get tasks assigned by the Trainer Association.
"The challenge of the Champion Road has started again?"
Shen Gong fell into deep thought after receiving a temporary invitation from President Wen of the Trainer Association.
"Yes, your father once commanded Crystal Steelix to become the gatekeeper of the Champion Road. In your generation, I wonder if you are willing to become a gatekeeper again."
The Crystal Steelix did not reject fighting and had experience in guarding gates, so this was one of the reasons why President Wen came to invite him.
"Gatekeeper?" Shen Gong said, "Okay, Uncle Wen, I will prepare immediately and go to the Crystal Cave to discuss with Crystal Steelix."
Every guardian-level Pokémon is a strategic existence for a country.
After Shen Gong's father passed away, this was the first time that the Trainer Association assigned a combat mission to Shen Gong. Although it was just an ordinary gatekeeper, it was also a wake-up call for Shen Gong by President Wen.
The Trainer Association hopes that Shen Gong will have some ambitions and be able to command Crystal Steelix to fight like his father. Otherwise, with his lazy personality, it would be a waste of the Guardian's combat power.
Therefore, President Wen also wants to take advantage of this opportunity to let Shen Gong regain his interest in Pokémon battles.
Shen Gong and Crystal Steelix don't have the opportunity to fight side by side on weekdays. Now, he helps Shen Gong find one!
As for Shen Gong, due to the care of his family by the Trainer Association on weekdays, and his father is also a friend of President Wen, he did not refuse.
After a while,
President Wen sent Fang Yuan's information.
And the challenge video of Fang Yuan's challenge to the first six levels of the Champion Road.
Fang Yuan is a famous person in China, Shen Gong naturally knows this world champion, but he didn't expect that it was Fang Yuan who challenged the Champion Road.
His father used to be the gatekeeper of the Champion Road, and he knew the significance of the Champion Road very well.
This is the place to select the strongest trainers in China.
If you can pass here, your combat power may not be ranked first in China, but it will definitely be no problem to rank in the top 5.
In one night, Shen Gong finished analyzing Fang Yuan's information, and then came to a conclusion that this world champion is very scary.
At Fang Yuan's age, he is still a college student who knows nothing.
But Fang Yuan can quickly pass the first six levels with little consumption, which is really amazing.
"Level 7..."
The next morning, Shen Gong, as the gatekeeper of the eighth level, watched the live broadcast of Fang Yuan's challenge to the old principal of the seventh level.
Behind him, there was a ten-meter-long elf with a body made of many huge dark blue crystals, shaped like a snake, watching the battle video with him.
It was Crystal Steelix!
Although Crystal Steelix is powerful, it has a good personality, otherwise it would not get along with humans.
Humans are willing to create a more suitable environment for it to live in, and constantly provide it with various novel foods, so Crystal Steelix does not reject getting along with humans.
Shen Gong's father was the first trainer it recognized, and Shen Gong had been crawling on it when he was a few years old, so it naturally recognized it.
If it weren't for the different species, it wouldn't be a problem for Shen Gong to call Crystal Steelix "godfather"...
"Roar!!!"
Many years ago, not long after the Champion Road Challenge was established, Crystal Steelix and Shen Gong's father served as the gatekeepers of one of the levels, and more than once.
As guardian-level creatures, they naturally swept all challengers easily.
With guardian-level creatures guarding the later levels, even if the rules allow challengers to fight more than one, it is still not so easy to win.
Although the memory is very vague, Crystal Steelix doesn't care about this challenge. In its opinion, no elf can defeat it.
However, the strength of these challengers can indeed make it excited, and it's not bad to do it once every once in a while.
"Fuck, why can this Flame Monkey still fight."
The video of the seventh level made Shen Gong see the strength of Fang Yuan's Flame Monkey.
Today, Shen Gong thought Fang Yuan would send out other elves, but...
Seeing the screen of Fang Yuan sending out Flame Monkey, and then Flame Monkey pressing the other two electric elves to the ground and rubbing them, Shen Gong, a man in his thirties, suddenly said "Fuck".
Wait a minute, wasn't your Flame Monkey exhausted in the sixth level? Why does it feel more powerful today? ? ?
Although his own strength is not strong, Shen Gong still has a certain vision after being influenced by his surroundings.
This battle scene... is outrageous.
Can Crystal Steelix do it... He was a little worried.
"Steelix..."
"Roar!!! (That's it.)"
Through the screen, Crystal Steelix showed a rare solemn expression after seeing Inflame's brutal fighting style.
However, although it is worth paying attention to, there is no need to pay too much attention to it.
As a mutant Pokémon, before it evolved, as Crystal Onix, it was different from the normal Onix. It was not afraid of water, but afraid of fire.
However, according to Onix's training method, after using the underground high pressure and high temperature to train this evolved body, it has become completely different.
Not only is it still not afraid of water, but even the weakness of fire has been overcome by most.
Even the Trainer Association is currently unable to analyze what the current Crystal Steelix is.
"Roar!! (Don't worry!!)"
Crystal Steelix moved his sight. It did not think that Inflame's power could defeat its defense...
Although this Inflame has the ability to threaten it initially, it is not enough.
Moreover, judging from its size, this Flame Monkey looked too small, and its defense and physical strength should not be good. With its strength, as long as it can withstand a blow, it should be able to smash this elf hundreds of meters away.
"That's good." Shen Gong exhaled.
The next moment... he looked forward to the elf battle for the first time in a long time.
Commanding Crystal Steelix to fight against the world champion... It sounds interesting.
...
"Not a human being."
"This is too cruel. That Flame Monkey actually withstood the opponent's lightning attack."
On the other side.
As Fang Yuan defeated the old principal of the Demon University in the seventh level in just 1 minute, the twelve branches complained.
Master Qiao's mouth twitched even more. Judging from the fighting style of this Flame Monkey, it is really a medical miracle that it can survive until now.
The fire of life... Can it really cure the sequelae of energy intersection so quickly?
She now urgently wants to know how Fang Yuan raised the monkey.
The ace combination of the old principal of the Demon University is definitely not weak, and there is only one reason for losing so badly, which is that Fang Yuan and his men are too beasts.
"Well done!"
"Kentaro is really good at flying!"
Only one person was very happy at this time, that is Master Tao Xiuying who gave Fang Yuan the Fire of Life. Although she had a deep friendship with the old principal of the Demon University, they were also not on good terms. After seeing Fang Yuan abuse the old principal of the Demon University with the fire she gave him, she was immediately refreshed.
This fire was not given in vain.
...
"Ah...!!!"
On the seventh level, after the old principal of the Demon University was defeated, he didn't know what to say.
He looked at the two electric elves lying on the ground with white smoke coming out of their mouths, and the panting Flame Monkey on the other side, and was stunned.
Before coming, he estimated that Fang Yuan could only pass 2 or 3 levels at most, but in the end, he really got through to his place.
"You go!"
Just after the battle, the old principal of the Demon University pointed in the direction of leaving and spoke to Fang Yuan and the others.
Fang Yuan: "...???"
"Then... I will challenge the eighth level?" Fang Yuan saw that the old principal of the Demon University seemed very unhappy at this time, so he decided not to disturb him. He waved his hand and immediately led the elves to the next level.
When leaving, the sequelae of the four gates of the Flame Monkey had already appeared. Although it was treated by the Fire of Life, it still fell temporarily.
It was carried away by Dragonite.
This also comforted the old principal of the Demon University. At least, it seems that the Flame Monkey is still the level that Fang Yuan can barely pass with the super-limit burst.
In short, this monkey who breaks the rules should not appear now! !
The twelve zodiac signs, as well as Shen Gong, the gatekeeper of the eighth level, saw the Flame Monkey fall again, and they all looked at the time. There was less than half a day left before Fang Yuan's challenge time limit expired.
This time, the Flame Monkey should not have time to recover through the Fire of Life, and after all, the Fire of Life also has an energy limit!
Fang Yuan's explosive tactics ended here.
However, 20 minutes later, Fang Yuan arrived at the location of the eighth level and came in front of Shen Gong.
Behind Fang Yuan, the Flame Monkey that could not stand steadily just now, the injury and fatigue just now have been swept away, and once again stood in Fang Yuan's team like a god of war.
"Uncle, are you the gatekeeper of the eighth level?"
Fang Yuan asked Shen Gong with a group of elves.
"Wooah!!" Flame Monkey took a step forward, eager to try, and took the initiative to ask for a fight.
Shen Gong, the Twelve Branches, and the old principal of the Demon University: ? ? ? ?
