My Name of the Spirit Lucario

Some scholars have done statistics and found that in today's elf world, attribute energy can be roughly divided into eighteen types.

This also includes an attribute energy called fairy energy that was only discovered in recent years. Because fairy energy is very similar to psychic energy in terms of light and color, in past research, scholars would confuse these two energies together and incorporate them into the attributes of the psychic system. As a result, many elves have been "wrongly" classified as psychic.

Just like the Pokémon of the lineage of Ralts, Kirlia, and Gardevoir, before the fairy-type attributes were clearly defined, scholars simply regarded this series of Pokémon as single-attribute psychic-type Pokémon.

However, as more and more elves were discovered in this world, scholars encountered difficulties in classification and identification. For example, another new evolution of Eevee, Sylveon, although Sylveon can also learn psychic-type moves, this elf has a completely different energy operation and output method from elves with psychic attributes. When there are more such "special cases", scholars began to study the definition of attributes again, and finally discovered another attribute that is completely different from the psychic attribute, that is, the fairy attribute.

However, the confusion between fairy attributes and psychic attributes is not the biggest point of contention among these scholars who specialize in the study of fairy attributes.

In this area of ​​research, there is one attribute that has been the subject of constant and heated debate between researchers from both sides.

That is, the general attributes.

……

According to the records of the spirit attribute theory, the most intuitive and core way to define an attribute is to observe the energy characteristics brought by the attribute. For example, the fire attribute must be produced in the form of flames. Whether the flame is large, or sprayed in a column, or hot or cold, it is inseparable from the characteristic of "flame"; for another example, the more abstract evil attribute, its manifestation is "malice".

But such arguments, when we return to the general attributes of the system, do not seem to be so accurate.

For example, some well-known moves.

[High Speed ​​Star], emits star-shaped light to attack the enemy. This general-type move is in line with the above-mentioned concrete performance. The star-shaped light energy is not any of the other seventeen types of energy, which is indeed "general-type attribute energy".

But some other moves, such as [Glaring Snake], do not produce any attribute energy, and are purely snake-like spirits showing their belly patterns to their prey to intimidate them. However, if we say that this kind of natural movement of the creature itself should not be classified as a move, [Glaring Snake] can paralyze the spirit as its prey, so it meets the definition of a "move": an action that can cause a specific effect.

Precisely because the general system has such difficult-to-explain characteristics, this attribute is also controversial.

But one thing is recognized by mainstream society.

That is the general type of Pokémon, except for some high-ranking mythical beasts, they are the most common creatures in the world. Such creatures are often not so powerful. Although they are easy to obtain and have become Pokémon that people all over the world can easily capture, in other words, if you only capture such Pokémon, then the strength of the trainer is often not that strong.

However, there was one person who was an exception.

In his hands, except for some elves with special uses, all elves are single-attribute and general-attribute elves. However, this man controlled these unpopular elves and almost won the qualification of gym leader with a crushing attitude. Later, he was appointed as one of the four kings of elves because of his strong strength. Although he has now retired from the throne of the king, he is still an idol in the minds of many young people because of the only general-attribute elf gym in the world.

Yinye City is generally the home of a Pokémon gym owner, Qianli. This name also inspired Asuka to embark on the career path of a Pokémon trainer.

Now, Asura Zhao is going to challenge his idol!

……

Gyms and emblems are both symbols of the gym owner, and therefore both have very distinctive characteristics.

And this kind of characteristics are basically related to a certain attribute that the owner is good at.

For example, the Fire Pokémon Gym in Boulder Town displays the "heat" property of fire. The large amount of mist evaporating from the hot spring town, coupled with the extremely high body temperature of the fire Pokémons, has created a "heat" gym that would make ordinary people sweat profusely when they walk in.

Another example is the "Flying Gym" in Chaokong Town, which Asuka Teru has never been to. It is said that the gym was built on a steep cliff, and the battlefield is very strangely set up on the edge of the cliff. If the challenger is also good at flying Pokémon, then the gym owner will invite the challenger to a flying battle where life and death are at stake. It is indeed one of the gyms with very personal characteristics.

So what is a general gym like?

……

Asuka had no idea what the characteristics of general attributes were.

Just like the extremely ordinary Pokémon Gym in front of you, which looks like any gym you can find anywhere on the street.

"We...are not in the wrong place?"

Asuhi hesitated and was hesitant to ring that super ordinary doorbell.

The building in front of me cannot be said to be dilapidated. It has a square structure, a clearly visible two-story design, and a flat roof, just as ordinary as the stainless steel door.

"Click", the door opened and a woman came out of the house carrying a kettle.

The two sides naturally made eye contact.

The woman was about 50 years old, with a gentle temperament, and her features were somewhat similar to Ruby's. Asuka Zhao knew without much guesswork that the person in front of him was Ruby's mother, Qianli's wife.

To the girl's surprise, Madam Qianli seemed to recognize her. She immediately walked over quickly without even bothering to water the plants outside the gym.

……

"So Mr. Ruby once introduced me to you. No wonder you seemed to know me."

Asuhi Teru said thoughtfully while holding a cup of hot tea.

"Recently, that kid and little Safiya both said that thanks to your help, they were able to solve some problems, otherwise it would have been a headache."

Madam Qianli said this with a smile, making Asuka feel a little embarrassed.

"Where, where..."

While the two were chatting, the door of the tea room opened and Qianli walked in in casual clothes.

"Hmm? Xiaozhao?"

After several events, Chisato and Asuka Teru have become quite familiar with each other, but he did not expect that the girl who was supposed to be traveling around the world would appear in his gym at this moment.

"Ahem, Mr. Qianli."

Ming Rizhao quickly put down his tea and sat up straight.

"I came here this time because I want to," Asuka said seriously after a pause, "to challenge you to a gym challenge."

Seeing the girl's eyes full of fighting spirit, Qianli put away his calm expression and replaced it with a serious face.

"I see. With your current strength, you are indeed capable of challenging my gym. But you have to know that no matter how good our personal relationship is, I will not let you down when it comes to gym challenges."

"As it should be."

The two people's eyes met, and sparks flew.

"Very good, I sense your seriousness, then let's get ready and see you at the gym battle field."

There was admiration in Qianli's eyes. He turned around and left decisively, leaving only his capable back.

"It's so hard to get guests here after traveling thousands of miles, but they're already thinking about fighting. Really..."

Madam Qianli complained a few words, but she also knew that the moment these Pokémon trainers made eye contact, the battle would have begun, so she did not pull Asuka to continue drinking tea and chatting, but took the girl to the room in the gym that was specially provided for challengers to prepare.

"Feel free to use the equipment here. If you need anything, just let me know."

Madam Qianli gave kind instructions and considerately closed the door for Ming Rizhao before leaving.

"Thank you, thank you."

Asuhi Teru smiled gratefully.

And when she was the only one left in the room, she took a deep breath.

Looking around the prepared room, the space is not very large. A simple elf healing device is placed on the seat. In addition, there are two vending machines in the corner of the room - used to buy elf medicines and various combat props.

There are also water cups and a water dispenser, as well as a small plate of snacks to fill your stomach.

Compared to the various gyms I've visited before, this gym may not look very attractive on the outside, but it has all kinds of thoughtful facilities inside.

He is very much like his owner Qianli, who appears tough and cold on the outside, but is actually warm-hearted on the inside.

For Asuka Teru, there is nothing special to prepare now. Whether it is props, medicine, or the status of the elves, he has made sufficient preparations before challenging the gym.

However, for this gym challenge, Asuka made a bold decision.

"Leo, I won't send you out for this challenge."

She said this to the Poké Ball.

Leo, who was originally eager to try in the Poké Ball, couldn't help but draw a big question mark on his forehead.
