Chapter 67 Returning, Riding the Gyarados
After the fight with Zong Zhe, the two parties parted ways.This kind of sparring with trainers is very common, and it can even be said that it is the main way for most trainers to understand and improve their own strength.It's just that Xuanjian was in a hurry before, so he didn't get in touch with too many trainers, so he rarely encountered them.But now that the goal of Gyarados evolution has been completed, there is no need to hurry so quickly, so I believe Xuanma will have more opportunities to participate in such battles in the future.

"Any plans for what's next?" Multitrack asked, she had adjusted and returned to normal.

"Yes, let's go back the same way and pick up the Fire Dinosaur!"

"This is necessary, what about the others?"

"Others," Xuan Jian scratched his head, and said with some distress, "the others are a little distressed, the Quartz Conference will not be able to catch up, and my strength is not enough to collect all the badges in the remaining time." And even if they managed to gather all the badges, with their current lineup, they were just giving away heads.

"Let's challenge the Orange League! It just so happens that we are here." Multitrack suggested. "I remember that you seemed to have this plan before."

Xuanjian smiled wryly and said: "Although the Orange League is relatively weak in various leagues for various reasons, its unique challenge method determines that it is difficult for trainers without certain strength to achieve results. I am a little lacking in confidence!" Compared with other alliances. The final competition is a qualifying match; the four gymnasiums of the Orange League are all very strong, and the final challenge is very unfriendly to newcomers.This setting obviously takes into account that the most people in the Orange Islands are not locals, but tourists from all over the world. It is more suitable for veterans who have accumulated a certain amount of experience.

Duogui obviously understood this, and nodded: "That's right, but we can try it! Let's start with the Xiagan Gymnasium. Although the challenge method there is relatively unique, it doesn't require high elves' strength."

"Well, good idea! If that's the case, then I've decided!"

"what?"

"For the next trip, I will not ride the dragon with you, I will go with the tyrannosaurus. Prepare for the challenge of the Xiagan gymnasium!"

"Are you sure?" If Chenglong is the kind of elf that is naturally suitable for riding, then the slender and violent Gyarados is the kind of elf that is extremely unsuitable for riding. The riding experience of the two is very different.In the Abyss of Sea and Sky, due to the special environment, everyone moves in a suspended state, so it cannot be regarded as a ride at all, at most they are taken away by elves.

Xuanjian also knew this, so he could only helplessly say: "Uh, that's the only way to go. It seems that only the Gyarados in my hand can compete in the surfing competition at Xiagan Gymnasium."

"That's right, how about I lend you Chenglong?" Duogui suggested.With the strength of Chenglong, it is not difficult to win.

"Thank you, no need." Xuanma rejected the multitrack proposal.After all, Chenglong is not his own elf, borrowing it to cheat, although he can get the Sakura badge, but it is not good for his own strength improvement, "Gyarados lacks power control and needs training. I ride it during this journey, and it is also a kind of exercise for us."

Duogui nodded, and didn't say any more, she knew that the loss of control of the Gyarados was a headache for those trainers who bred the Carp King into a Gyarados, and Xuanjian was a better one.But if they can finally overcome this, the results will be very fruitful, their bond with the Gyarados will be deeper, and their Gyarados will be much stronger than those Gyarados that were only tamed after evolution.

"Then please take care of me during this time, Gyarados!" Xuan Jian said to the Gyarados beside him.The Gyarados nodded, as if saying that such a trivial matter was on its body, and Xuanjian was relieved by that confident look.But soon Xuanjian realized how weak the Gyarados' confident performance was, and also deeply understood why the Gyarados was not suitable for riding.

Chenglong has a broad back, and the back shell is very flat, but rough enough so that the rider can easily sit down firmly.When swimming with a dragon, most of the time it floats on the water and advances through the water with its fins, just like a small piece of moving land, so even beginners who can't swim at all can easily carry a dragon for sailing.

The Gyarados is the complete opposite. Its body is slender and not suitable for riding, and the Gyarados prefers to dive into the water and move forward by swinging its body.For the rider, the only part suitable for riding is the head of the Gyarados, as this is the only part where the Gyarados can emerge from the water while swimming.

The head of the Gyarados is its sensitive area, and it will not easily allow other people to touch it. Fortunately, Xuanma has obtained this qualification by virtue of his long-term close relationship with the Gyarados.But even with Gyarados' head, it's not very comfortable to ride.After all, the head of the tyrannosaurus is not big, so it can only accommodate Xuan Jian to stand on it.The Gyarados did not swim as smoothly as Chenglong, and both sides had no experience in this kind of coordination, so it was extremely difficult at the beginning.

Every time the Gyarados swims, Xuanjian has to hold on to its body tightly, otherwise it will fall, and the Gyarados must carefully control the center of gravity of its body to prevent it from losing balance due to the extra passengers on its head.Both sides are struggling to adapt.

At the end of the first day, Xuanjian was tossed to death. The violent bumps made him vomit. Even if he was very careful, he still fell off the head of the Gyarados four times because of the violent movements of the Gyarados. Fortunately, the training was carried out in the sea, which prevented him from falling badly.Since Xuanjian and Gyarados were not proficient in cooperating, everyone stayed where they were for the day, because their speed was not enough to reach the nearest other small islands.Everyone can only change the original rush plan into a training plan.

After the training, Xuanjian endured the discomfort and ate the dinner prepared for him by Duogui. The usually delicious food was completely difficult to arouse his appetite at the moment, but for the sake of his body, Xuanjian still insisted on eating it. After saying hello to Duogui, he went to massage the Gyarados.

Gyarados is also extremely exhausted. For huge Pokémon, it is extremely difficult to control their strength delicately. This kind of thing gives them the feeling of a burly man holding a fine needle for embroidery. The huge size of them prefers straight-forward movements.At the end of the day, it felt uncomfortable all over, as if there was a fire burning in its heart, making it want to make a fuss and vent.Fortunately, Xuanjian gave it a massage in time, and shook the peace bell to appease it, so that it calmed down, and fell asleep quietly on the beach.Looking at the Gyarados resting quietly, Xuanma also stood up and moved his body, and walked back to the tent to rest.

Xuanjian didn't know that after he left, the Gyarados woke up. It moved its body away from the soft sandy beach, came to the outside of Xuanjian's tent, wrapped it around the tent, and then fell into a deep sleep.The Gyarados knew that Xuanjian was much harder than it, and Xuanjian didn't give up, and took care of it with fatigue after the training, so it would not admit defeat.Many times, trainers influence their elves through their actions in this way, endowing them with things that do not exist in elves, making them more perfect and stronger.This is what trainers are for.

Early the next morning, Xuanjian got up on time, and then started training with Gyarados. For him with the power of Periphery, a night's rest is enough to restore to a perfect state. What needs to be overcome is mental and spiritual exhaustion and slack.Fortunately, Xuanjian, who has the soul of an adult, has developed a clear understanding in this regard, and can resist the temptation of the soft and comfortable bed.

The training on the second day was better than the first day. Xuanjian was basically able to stand firmly on the head of the Gyarados without falling off, and the Gyarados could also control the force of the body and swing its head as little as possible while swimming.But at the end of the day, both sides were still very tired.This kind of training lasted for five days, and the cooperation between the two sides had reached a bottleneck. The next step was to sharpen it in actual combat, and the group decided to officially hit the road.

　The recommendation is over. This is yesterday’s update. I’ve been exhausted for the past few days. In a few days, you will receive the news of my sudden death!I hope you will continue to support us in the future!
