Chapter 18 Exposure
Chapter 18 Exposure
The reason Li Shuwen values the Veiled Gym is because the League determines the ratio of trainers who receive badges to those who participate in the League Conference based on the gym's performance.
Are the number of badges issued monthly and annually sufficient to meet the minimum requirement?
A series of complex assessment criteria are used to provide operating subsidies to dojos.
The monthly income ranges from 100,000 to 1 million.
The Sinnoh League currently has 25 gyms, with the Veiled Gym ranking 13th, a result that is neither good nor bad.
Before Li Shuwen took over, the Veil Dojo was a strong contender for the top three.
It's just the countdown.
In this way, the monthly subsidy of 100,000 Alliance Coins allowed Li Shuwen and Li Meining to live comfortably.
Li Shuwen has already entered the life of a working-class person ahead of schedule.
I can go on one or two trips a year, and I can go on spring outings, which take place near Veil City, once or twice a month.
After all, gym leaders are human too, and it's normal for them to take two or three days off every month.
Currently ranked 13th, Li Shuwen estimates that he will receive a subsidy of around 300,000 yuan this month.
The head effect among gym trainers is not too exaggerated.
The subsidies were not entirely absorbed by the top eight dojos.
However, the broadcasting fees for the annual Gym Leaders Rotation Battle are mostly split among the top trainers.
Last year, my father, who suffers from lung ulcers, participated in the event and brought home 200,000 yuan.
There's no way around it. Given that Lung Mist Old Man only spends a few days a year with Machamp and the others, he still manages to bring back 200,000, making him not the lowest-ranked gym leader.
The performance was already quite good.
Being a gym leader is definitely a high-paying job. It's normal that the League spends so much money and has strict requirements for gyms.
This is also why Li Shuwen is unwilling to travel.
If, after returning from their trip, the Veiled Gym is found to be closed due to poor management by Lung Mist Daddy, and the inspection by the prosecutor sent by the League fails to pass the review, the gym will be shut down.
If Li Shuwen wants to reopen the Curtain Dojo, he will need to go through a lot of complicated procedures.
While eating and drinking, Li Shuwen suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to call his father, who suffered from lung ulcers.
He quickly got up, left the barbecue restaurant, and called his father, who was suffering from lung phlegm.
Upon seeing Li Shuwen's call, Lung Fog Old Man, who was still at the game center, immediately changed his expression.
Oh no, he forgot.
He quickly grabbed his phone and ran towards the Veil Dojo.
Fortunately, his fighting skills hadn't completely deteriorated, and he was still very fast.
"Hey, Shuwen, I'm home. Nothing's wrong. Xiaoning is being very good."
Li Shuwen was a little suspicious; there was a whooshing sound on the other end of the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Li Shuwen returned to the dining table. "Lei Si, I'm a little worried about that guy Uncle Fu mentioned earlier, so I'm planning to go back early."
"How about this, you take Shinji to the Veiled Gym tomorrow. I've just bought some fresh ingredients, so we can cook a big meal in the backyard."
Lei Si nodded. "Alright, it's really not appropriate to leave the little girl home alone. What I did today was indeed a bit inappropriate."
Li Shuwen waved his hand, "Trainers and Pokémon should have a friendly relationship, as long as there is no malicious deception, release, or buying and selling."
"It's certainly possible to find a suitable trainer for a Pokémon that isn't a good fit for it."
Li Shuwen walked up to Uncle Fu, who was making shabu-shabu.
"Uncle Fu, I'm going back now."
"Why so early? Eat more! Do you think my barbecue isn't good anymore?"
Li Shuwen replied with a smile, "Uncle Fu is still as sharp as ever. It's about that matter I just mentioned. I need to go back early and be on guard."
Uncle Fu nodded. "That's right. Who knows what those disgruntled guys might do?"
Lung Fog Dad ran all the way up the walls and finally returned to the Curtain Dojo within ten minutes.
A burly man suddenly jumped over the wall into the curtained dojo.
Under the moonlight, her pink hair was strikingly eye-catching.
After spending the entire afternoon inquiring but finding no dirt on the Veil Dojo, A-Yuan suddenly remembered something.
He'd seen this burly man before!
In the broadcast of the Sinnoh League Gym Leader Rotation Battle.
Although the strong man's score wasn't high, A Yuan remembered his martial arts uniform and pink hair.
Last October, the trainer at the Veiled Gym was this burly man.
That young man took over in February of this year.
The process of replacing a gym leader cannot be that quick.
There must be something fishy going on here.
Feeling he had caught the Veiled Gym's weakness, the little guy excitedly ran to the internet cafe. He was going to check the Sinnoh League's official website to see who the Veiled Gym's trainer was.
Yes, how come he didn't think of such a simple question?
Hearing the noise, Li Meining cautiously pushed open the door. Leo Lu slightly bared his teeth, ready to pounce on the bad guy and bite him hard as soon as he appeared.
As soon as Lung Fog Dad walked into the living room, Riolu pounced on him.
Then came Li Meining's flying kick.
Old Man Lung Fog quickly parried their attacks.
"Xiao Ning, this is Daddy."
Li Meining was a little surprised, "Why are you back?"
"Your brother was worried about you being home alone, so he called me to come back."
The old man with lung ulcers clasped his hands together and said, "When your brother comes back later, you must tell him that I came back a long time ago."
Li Meining narrowed her eyes slightly, "Then it depends on your sincerity, Dad."
The old man, patting his chest, assured him, "Tell me what you need, and I'll buy it for you!"
Then his tone changed instantly, "But don't set the price too high, Dad doesn't have much money on hand right now."
Li Meining was somewhat suspicious. She didn't believe that Lung Fog's father had no money; he earned his living expenses by playing games at the arcade.
He earns his food, drink, and lodging using the game currency he earns.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be away from home so often.
Lung Fog's dad is a very good gamer, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to use game coins to exchange for Heartscale and Riolu for the brother and sister.
Therefore, he must have a lot of game currency.
"Really? I don't believe it."
When his lung fog was exposed, Dad immediately explained, "Okay, actually, Dad has his eye on the latest grand prize and plans to redeem it as a gift for your brother as his coming-of-age present."
Li Meining nodded in satisfaction, "Since you're preparing a gift for your brother, I won't make things difficult for you. But I also want the latest model backpack."
The old man's expression immediately changed. "The latest backpack? You're not planning to sneak off on a trip behind your brother's back, are you?"
"No way. If I dare to buy that for you, your brother will never let me set foot in the house again in his life."
Li Meining puffed out her cheeks. "I'm already ten years old! Why can't I go on a trip?"
The old man with lung malaria asked a soul-searching question: "Can you start a fire? Can you cook? Can you read a map?"
Li Meining sat dejectedly on the ground. "I don't care, I just want to go on a trip!"
As soon as Li Shuwen entered the room, he heard Li Meining throwing a tantrum.
"Since you want to travel, I'll allow you to go on your trip if you can pass my wilderness survival training."
"Really?" Li Meining immediately jumped up from the ground.
"Of course!" is false.
Meanwhile, the little guy who ran to the internet cafe logged into the Sinnoh League's official website to check the identity of the Veiled Gym Leader.
Seeing the burly man's full-body photo in martial arts attire that popped up, the little man laughed triumphantly.
He plans to challenge the Veiled Gym again in two days, taking the opportunity to secretly photograph the young man directing his Pokémon in the gym battle, and record the entire process.
Acting as a substitute Gym Leader and illegally using Pokémon trained by a Gym Leader who was not trained by him!
Submit these materials as evidence to the Sinnoh League's inspection team.
Let's see if Li Shuwen survives this time!
Want to inherit the Veil Dojo? Dream on!
