Chapter 72
"Excuse me, are you here to challenge Chenghua Gym as well?"
Jon heard the voice and looked in the direction of the sound source. He found that it was actually a female reporter, followed by a photographer.
"No, I'm just a guest at Chenghua Gym."
Jon shook his head, then looked at them curiously and asked:
"Excuse me, are you interviewing?"
"Yes, the new league conference has started. As the largest TV station in Chenghua City, we must come to interview in real time. Are you a relative of Mr. Qianli?"
The female reporter said happily. It seems that she has a lot of materials to write recently.
"Then why don't you go in?"
"Because..."
"That's because Dad didn't give them any special privileges, and the essence of a trainer is not to perform."
Before the female reporter finished answering Jon, a little boy's voice came over. Jon looked carefully and shouted: "Xiaosheng!"
"Jon, you're finally here."
Xiaosheng walked down the steps slowly, looking aloof, and occasionally raised his arm, extended his index finger, and touched his glasses.
"Mom said you should be here soon, let's go in."
After saying that, Xiaosheng couldn't wait to pull Jon's hand, hurriedly pushed through the crowd, and ran to the residential area.
"Cut this part off!"
A voice came from the female reporter's headset. It should be the editor-in-chief who saw this scene.
The appearance and name of the gym owner's children or relatives can be known to outsiders, but it must never be spread from the TV station.
Jon came to the gym for the first time, and he didn't expect it to be so complicated, and there was a front yard and a back yard.
The front yard is usually where the gym apprentices stay. They eat and sleep here, and also take care of the important task of protecting the gym.
There are several battle venues here, but most of them are used for training, and the right to use them belongs to the apprentices here.
The main battle venue is used by challengers when challenging the gym.
Of course, there is no rule that the gym owner must personally meet the challenge, and they also select people.
When you want to challenge a gym, you must first register your identity information.
Rookie trainers and ordinary trainers are assessed by apprentices, while trainers above elite are assessed by gym owners.
However, if the gym owner is out for something, the apprentice will still accept the challenge of the trainer.
After all, the main responsibility of the gym owner is to be responsible for the safety of the city.
"Mom, sister, Jon is here."
As soon as the door was opened, Xiaosheng showed his true face, his eyes fixed on Jon's Poké Ball, waiting for Jon to speak.
Jon looked at him with some amusement. Is it necessary to be so persistent?
"Jon, you didn't even tell me you were here."
Mitsuko was busy cooking in the kitchen, with a little complaint in her voice. I think she felt guilty for not preparing a hearty lunch in advance.
"Jon!"
Xiaoyao ran down from upstairs happily and looked at Jon with a happy face. Jon's arrival meant that she could leave home and travel freely.
"Aunt Mitsuko, Xiaoyao, I brought some barbecue..."
Jon put the bag on the dining table, and it looked heavy.
He bought it from a barbecue restaurant. It was real meat, not artificial.
After all, it was his first time to visit, and Jon couldn't think of what to bring for a while. Finally, he smelled the tempting smell of barbecue and thought it was lunch time, so it should be a good choice.
This three pounds of roast beef cost Jon nearly 3,000 yen of alliance coins. You should know that the price of artificial meat is only about 100 yen per pound, which is directly increased tenfold.
Mitsuko complained again, but she was saying that Jon was spending money recklessly, but this made Xiaoyao and Xiaosheng very happy.
It was not easy for them to have such a barbecue. Although Qianli's salary was high, he needed to provide resources for his Pokémon.
So Mitsuko lowered the food standard and left Xiaoyao and Xiaosheng a sum of money so that they would not be troubled by financial problems when they became trainers.
"Where is Mr. Qianli?"
Jon asked with a smile, and Mitsuko's voice came from the kitchen.
"He went out early in the morning and will not come back for lunch."
"Is that so..."
Jon nodded. Although more than 20 days had passed, Qianli was still busy.
With the temptation of barbecue, Xiaosheng no longer obsessed with Jon's Pokémon.
Jon sometimes couldn't stand Xiaosheng's obsession, but when he thought of him as Qianli's child,So they could only let him do what he wanted.
Xiaoyao and Xiaosheng had the happiest lunch. They drank drinks and ate the barbecue brought by Jon, but ignored the food that Mitsuko had carefully prepared for lunch.
However, Mitsuko did not show any displeasure. Instead, she treated Jon as the one to pick up food for.
"Jon, I didn't ask you last time what Pokémon you have captured during this period."
Mitsuko put down her chopsticks and asked curiously, while Xiaosheng kept nodding.
"I heard that Mr. Qianli has a greenhouse. Can I go and visit it?"
There was a flash of excitement in Jon's eyes. He was very curious about what Pokémon Qianli had. He didn't believe that Qianli's Pokémon were only those of Lazy Man. Although there was a King-level Straight Bear, he had never seen the King of Leave.
"Okay, Qianli knew you would make this suggestion. I'll take you there after dinner. And your Pokémon can be placed in the greenhouse. Qianli has told them in advance."
Mizuko said with a smile. Sure enough, this is a common problem for trainers, including Xiaosheng, who is not a trainer yet.
"Okay! Thank you, Aunt Mizuko."
Jon looked at the pile of rice bowls and started to eat them directly. Xiaosheng kept asking him questions, but he didn't have time to answer.
Qianli's greenhouse is very large, with rugged rockery, clear pools, lush trees, and everything else.
The Pokémon living here are all Qianli and Mizuko's.
However, his king-level Pokémon are always carried with him. After all, when performing missions, Jon said he would do the same.
As Mizuko opened the door of the greenhouse and clapped her hands gently, the Pokémon in the greenhouse gathered instantly.
Sloth, Hyperactive Ape, Bear, King, Shaky Spot, Hunting Swallowtail, etc., all gathered.
King was only a gym-level Pokémon, so Qianli didn't bring him with him.
"Okay, Jon, release your Pokémon."
Xiaosheng ran to King, pushed his glasses up, and said to Jon.
