After defeating Xiaosong, Xiaofeng successfully obtained the Phantom Badge.

This is also the fourth badge Xiaofeng has obtained in the Johto area.

Next, as long as the same number of badges are collected, Xiaofeng can participate in the Silver Conference.

However, when choosing the next gym to challenge, Xiaofeng hesitated.

Due to the special geographical location of Yuanzhu City, there are several gyms that are relatively close to each other and are located in two completely opposite directions.

Therefore, Xiaofeng now has two routes to choose from.

The first route is to follow the original plot, first challenge the steel-type gym in Asakon City, and then challenge the fighting-type gym in Zhanlan City.

The second route is to challenge the ice gym in Kaji City, and then challenge the dragon gym in Yanshi City.

The reason why Xiaofeng hesitates is because these two routes have their own advantages and disadvantages no matter what they choose.

This is torture for Xiao Feng, who has difficulty choosing.

Moreover, there seem to be traces of Team Rocket activities in both routes.

There is no room for Xiaofeng to be careless, so preparations must be made in advance.

To this end, Xiaofeng specially recalled the relevant plots and also used computers to collect information on these two routes.

Among them, the owner of Qian Cong Gym - Ami.

Because her elf has a strange disease and needs her to take care of it personally.

Therefore, I don’t have any extra energy for the time being to run the gym.

She must wait for her spirit to recover before she can challenge.

Even if Xiaofeng goes there, he will most likely be turned away.

In the original plot, it was Xiaozhi and others who helped Ami retrieve the secret medicine, and the gym was restored.

And according to Xiaomatsu, Xiaozhi had just finished challenging his gym.

Given the speed at which Xiaozhi and others were traveling, there was a high chance that Xiaofeng would arrive at the Asakusa Gym before them.

When he was introduced, he wanted to challenge the gym, so Xiaofeng could only help Ami to "run errands".

Xiaofeng still wants to collect badges as soon as possible and then concentrate on preparing for the Silver Tournament.

With this time, Xiaofeng might as well challenge other gyms.

This is obviously not a choice that satisfies Xiaofeng.

As for the second route?

Judging from the animation, the Gym Leaders of the Ice and Dragon Gyms seem to be much stronger than the Gym Leaders of the Steel and Fighting Gyms.

Even with Xiaofeng's current strength, there is no absolute certainty that he can succeed in the challenge.

all in all.

Although the gym on the first route is easier to challenge, it may take more time.

The second route takes less time but is more challenging.

Xiaofeng personally prefers the second route.

"Liu Bo, the master of Kaji Gym, one of his elves seems to have disappeared after falling off a cliff."

"As long as I can help him find this elf, maybe there will be additional gains."

"The leader of the Smoke Screen Gym, Xiao Chun, and her ace elf are still in the process of leveling up. It may be a little less difficult to challenge now."

Xiaofeng combined all the information and decided to take the second route.

After challenging the two gyms of Kaji and Smoke Screen, return to Yuanzhu City.

After that, he went to challenge Qian Cong and Zhan Lan Gym.

As long as Xiaofeng travels fast enough, maybe he can participate in the plot of the Whirlpool Islands...

After planning the route, Xiaofeng immediately started preparations.

In Yuanzhu City, a large amount of necessary materials were purchased.

For this reason, Xiaofeng specially sold several leaf stones and prepared sufficient funds.

Xiaofeng will keep some of the remaining leaf stones for skill training.

After purchasing the supplies, Xiaofeng is ready to set off at any time.

However, just to be on the safe side.

Xiaofeng also made preparations for Team Rocket that he might encounter on the way.

"In Kaji Town, I remember there was a Team Rocket base."

"This base is conducting experiments on manipulating evolution, which will have an impact on some unevolved elves."

"As a result of their experiments, a Magikarp evolved."

"The evolved Gyarados is far stronger than the ordinary Gyarados, but its character is also more ferocious."

"If you don't have enough strength, even if you conquer it, you will be in big trouble."

"..."

Xiaofeng reviewed all the plots he remembered.

And, for various emergencies, make deductions in your mind.

In addition, Xiaofeng also set his sights on an elf.

This elf is the natural bird that often stays on Xiao Feng's head.

As a life-saving trump card that I have high hopes for.

After the natural bird passed through its newborn period, in addition to basic training, Xiaofeng only arranged one training task for it.

That is, master the teleportation skill as quickly as possible.

After this period of hard work, Tianque has improved his mastery of teleportation skills to the proficiency level.

The following is the current information panel of Natural Bird:

[Race: Natural Bird]

[Attributes: superpower, flying]

[Feature: Synchronization]

[Skills: Peck (beginner), Stare (beginner), Teleport (skilled), Night Demon (not yet beginner), Strange Light (not yet beginner)]

[Level: Novice level (level 16)]

[Qualification: Elite Level]

Currently, Tianque can already use teleportation skills to "run away" with Xiaofeng.

However, the natural bird is limited by its own strength.

The distance traveled instantly is not very far.

It has not yet reached the level of "thousands of miles in an instant".

But it also greatly improved Xiaofeng's life-saving ability.

Moreover, natural finches have just been born and are still in a period of rapid growth.

His own strength is growing at an extremely fast rate every day.

The distance moved instantly will also change accordingly.

Although, Xiaofeng cannot be given the ability to compete head-on with the Rockets.

However, it is enough to ensure that Xiaofeng can escape from their siege.

This is also the reason why Xiaofeng, uncharacteristically, did not "shun" the Rockets.

The only things Xiaofeng should be wary of were the "perverted" black technologies of the Rockets.

Certain black technologies cannot even be resisted by legendary elves, so Xiaofeng will naturally not ignore them.

However, no matter how powerful the black technology is, it still needs people to control it.

Xiaofeng may not be able to solve black technology, but he can solve the problem of people who use black technology.

What's more, even if Xiaofeng can't solve it, he can still choose to rely on the power of some "thighs".

These "thighs" can be legendary elves or champion kings.

"A'Du seems to be eyeing Team Rocket over there in Kaji Town. I might consider hugging his thigh."

"With him here, it's not easy to beat some Rockets!"

"Besides that, I also have the tokens of Flame Bird and Suicune."

Thinking of this, Xiao Feng's inner worries gradually dissipated.

"Everything is ready, set off tomorrow!"
