Since it has been confirmed that there is indeed an Orange League Pokémon Gym on Naipuru Island, and the distance is not very far, and Annie herself has no specific arrangements recently, so she readily agreed to Xiaoxia

At his request, he went to the so-called Naipulu Island with the three people.

Of course, when she went back, Annie would definitely not squeeze into the ocean with those three people on that big turtle shell that couldn't poop. She simply let go of the dream and let

Meng Meng carried the three people and the electric mouse Pikachu together, and then followed her and flew directly to the Naipuru Island with a high volcanic island in just a few minutes.

However, what made Annie, Xiaoxia, Xiaozhi, and Xiaojian extremely strange was that when they arrived, they found that the Naipulu Island was actually quiet, and all the houses were empty, as if

Like an uninhabited island?

Fortunately, before the three of them could come to their senses and figure out what happened on Naipuru Island, a speedboat with a spinnaker sailed towards the wind. When the man who jumped off the boat claimed to be 'Xiao Dan'

After the uncle introduced himself and volunteered to act as a guide for the four of them, they quickly arrived at the gate of the Pokémon Gym on Naipuru Island.

But unfortunately, when the door was opened, everyone found that this Pokémon Gym was just like the small town on Naipuru Island. It was also silent. It seemed that there was no one there?

However, fortunately, there was a sign posted next to the hiking trail leading to the top of the mountain, and the notice above said:

——————

【notice】

Dear challengers, welcome to the Naipuru Island Gym!

The rules of this gym are: challengers must first climb from the mountain trail to the top of the mountain to test the challenger's physical fitness and perseverance, and then they are eligible for the next challenge.

Note: When climbing a mountain, the challenger must only rely on his or her own strength. If any help from Pokémon is used along the way, the challenge will be deemed a failure and the challenge will be lost on the spot. Please remember!

Also: non-challenging people accompanying you can use the mountain cable car to go directly to the top of the mountain for free.

—————

"That is to say..."

"Do you want to climb the mountain on your own strength?"

After reading the notice and understanding the whole story and the prerequisites for the challenge, and then looking at the terrifying mountaineering trail that winds up and has some very dangerous sections, Xiaozhi was in a state of surprise and disbelief.

At the same time, I couldn't help but feel some slander and complaints in my heart.

"How strange!"

"The gyms of the Orange Alliance are indeed different from the gyms in other places!"

"First it was the Pokémon competition, and now it's the trainers' physical fitness test..."

After all, he just wanted to be a Pokémon training master and challenge the Orange League competition and try his best to get good results. But now, the other party not only did not accept his challenge well, but also came to test him.

physical fitness?

"I really don't understand, what does this have to do with training Pokémon?"

"This is obviously making things difficult for others!"

Anyway, he couldn't figure out the connection between climbing such a steep mountain and Pokémon training.

"Ha ha!"

"actually……"

"It's not exactly making things difficult for others."

"Think about it, if a Pokémon trainer can't even meet his own physical fitness and perseverance standards, what right does he have to ask his Pokémon to fight with all his strength?"

"Is that so?"

Hearing Xiaozhi's complaint, the strange uncle Xiao Dan hurriedly smiled and stepped forward to comfort him, and explained to the entourage, Xiaoxia and Xiaojian, who also looked at him with some doubts.

"Anyway!"

"I'm ready to climb up!"

"If you want to challenge together, come with me!"

"I will lead the way!"

Then, after finishing speaking, Xiao Dan began to pack his luggage.

He seemed to have really made up his mind, and was going to rely on his own personal strength to climb up the mountain along the terrifying mountaineering trail that wound up and had some very dangerous sections, according to the notice.

The top of Naipuru Island?

"Such a high mountain..."

"this……"

"I, I think I'd better forget it!"

"It's such a high mountain and so dangerous. I definitely can't climb it!"

"And I'm not a challenger..."

Xiaoxia had no intention of participating in the Orange League Competition, and so far she didn't even have a badge. Therefore, seeing that the prerequisites for challenging the Naipuru Island Gym were so demanding, she wanted to practice

I didn’t want to, so I quickly waved my hand and flatly refused with a wry smile.

At the same time, she was also very happy. She was glad that she did not accept Xiaozhi's instigation to collect the badges together. Otherwise, she would regret it to death if she had to give up now!

"Me too!"

"I'm just a Pokémon observer, so I won't get involved. I'd better take the cable car up with Xiaoxia?"

"You guys have to work harder!"

Similarly, when Xiao Jian on the side saw Xiao Dan looking towards him, he quickly stepped back, waved his hand and explained with a smile, indicating that he had no intention of challenging.

Although, climbing mountains is not difficult for him, but...

Since he is not participating in the Orange League competition, nor is he planning to collect the four Orange League badges, then there is no need for him to suffer and crawl in front of him. Just looking at it is daunting and scary.

The mountains of Naipuru Island.

"Annie!"

Seeing Xiaozhi's hesitation, and seeing the handsome and tall Xiao Dan already starting to do warm-up exercises, Xiaoxia thought for a while, then looked at Annie next to her with some worry and asked:

"This mountain climbing seems very difficult. Do you want to give up?"

"Take the cable car up with us?"

She knew that since Annie was also going to participate in the Orange League competition and was determined to compete with Xiaozhi for the first place, then four Orange League badges were a prerequisite for participation.

Essential!

But now, the content written on that notice board, the so-called mountain climbing test of the trainer's physical strength and perseverance, that kind of test, is certainly not so friendly to Anne.

No matter what, Xiaoxia didn't think she could climb the mountain of this terrible Naipulu Island.

And similarly, since she herself can't do it, then of course Annie, who is even smaller than her and has thin arms and legs, can't do it!

"give up?"

()

"That's impossible!"

()

When Anne heard the other party say such outrageous things, she turned her head away without even thinking about it.

What plane joke are you kidding? You know, in Queen Anne's dictionary, the only difference is whether she wants to do it or not. Where is the word 'giving up'?

"Isn't it just a climb up a hill?"

()

"Very simple!"

(ˉ▽￣~)Cut~~

"You can fly up directly!"

()°

really!

This kind of hillock is only three or four thousand meters above sea level. She, Queen Anne, just needs a thought and jumps directly up there. Why should she give up for this?

"Fly, fly up?"

"No way!"

"Absolutely not!"

Hearing Annie's words, she wanted to fly like everyone did when they came to Naipuru Island before. Xiaojian became anxious, then hurriedly signaled and pointed at the notice board and said:

"Didn't you see it?"

"here!"

"It says above that if you use Pokémon's abilities or ask Pokémon to provide help, you will be directly disqualified from the challenge!"

Afraid that Annie would really mess around, Xiao Jian hurriedly walked to the wooden notice board and pointed to a certain paragraph of text on it again.
