Chapter 637: The Development History of Modern Gyms
If you want to become a gym trainer, you must understand the history and functions of a gym trainer.
Ignore other areas for now, mainly focus on the history of the gym in the Johto area.
Don't look at the fact that due to the rise of academic trainers, gyms have become deserted. Gym trainers can fish around and do some side jobs. A long time ago, gymnasiums were actually a very prosperous place.
And this involves talking about the core functions of gyms in the past.
Different from the current job that is only responsible for selecting qualified challengers and giving them badges, the previous gyms were similar to the current trainer schools. Gym trainers were responsible for teaching the students under their names and carrying forward their gym.
Does it sound a bit like a sect in Xianxia novels?
But that was indeed the case in the previous gymnasium.
Later, due to the establishment of the Elf Association, the unification of cities, and the emergence of the Silver Conference, the gym became more prosperous, and more and more people wanted to become trainers, so they joined the gym to learn how to cultivate elves.
There are also more people using methods.
why is that?
Because at the beginning, in order to attract other people's attention and attract trainers to participate, and to prevent it from becoming an unpopular competition due to the high threshold and few participants, it was not necessary to provide a badge to participate.
This situation lasted for five years.
Since the end of the fifth Silver Conference, the organizer has seen that its reputation has almost improved, and there are more and more participants, and the competition has become bloated, so it announced that the next Silver Conference will raise the bar and screen out the most powerful ones in the region.
Trainers come to compete.
It happened that the gyms in Chengdu had become very bloated and miserable due to too many disciples. As soon as the organizer of the Silver Conference said this, eight gymnasiums immediately spoke in response.
These eight gymnasiums are the gymnasiums in the eight most important cities in the capital today.
The Elf Association will also take this opportunity to coordinate with the eight gyms and announce the conditions for collecting eight medals in order to participate in the Silver Conference.
The gym also took this opportunity to dissuade some speculators who were not interested in the career of a trainer and just wanted to use the Silver Tournament to gain fame and fortune.
And set up the condition that only by defeating the gym trainer can you get the badge.
——At that time, there was no way to measure the energy level of elves. Everyone knew that the gym trainer was strong, and the students in the gym also knew it, but no one knew how strong he was.
Gym trainers' use of Pokémon is not as standardized as it is now, and their strength is determined based on the number of badges the opponent has.
They decide which elves to send out based entirely on their personal likes and dislikes of challengers.
They even don't go on the field to play and let their disciples play.
After all, the rules established in the past are not as binding as they are now.
Many people also have the idea that gym trainers are just like that, and I can do it too. As long as I am smarter and have weirder tactics, I will come to the door with a group of elves with an energy level of no more than forty, and then
He was severely beaten by the gym trainers.
As a result, the Sixth Silver Conference has become the most deserted Silver Conference.
——Only forty-eight contestants.
However, the overall strength of the contestants has increased, and the competition is no longer just about rookies pecking each other, it has become a competition between experts, which is full of fun to watch, and overall it is quite satisfactory.
However, the Elf Association did not want to be content with the status quo. Seeing such a deserted situation, it immediately spent a long time and gathered the wisdom of many people to create a set of challenge rules similar to the functions of modern gyms.
At the beginning, the gym did not want to do such troublesome things. It was to cultivate elves of different levels, and to teach challengers in the competition based on the opponent's performance.
Unfortunately, the Elf Association gave me too much.
But with the rise of this set of rules, new problems arise.
The gym trainer has no skills at all. He and his elves have limited energy and cannot do anything for three hundred and sixty-five days. They only play games with challengers and issue badges.
He also wants to teach the trainers in the gym how to raise elves.
Even if you give him three heads and six arms, he can't do it.
As a result, the gym trainers complained to the Elf Association. The Elf Association gradually realized this. After urgently discussing solutions, they decided to allow other trainers in the gym to assist, but the person who took action must
Registered, gym trainer must be there to supervise.
Similar to those little soldiers in the game who block the only way to the gym trainer.
By doing this, the pressure on gym trainers was immediately relieved. In order to allow multiple challengers to challenge together, a new battle arena was specially built to expand the battle arena.
Everything has been smoothly on track.
…
But the problems related to trainers are also obvious.
Some people may have misunderstood the social structure of the elf world, thinking that in addition to researchers, there are trainers, breeders and other professions in this world.
actually not.
There are many kinds of occupations in the elf world, including bricklayers, waiters, street sweepers, and sewer pipers.
Professional trainers are just a part of society, not all of them.
Similar to professional athletes in previous lives, there is no country to pay them wages.
Moreover, there are actually very few professional trainers, because trainers are not engaged in production. Although they have mastered extraordinary power, they do not have many financial resources.
——Who made it illegal to obtain money through battles?
Unless you can become a top trainer, or join the Elf Association to become a member, and then become a teacher at the Trainer Academy or some other profession in the association that is suitable for trainers.
Otherwise, if you don’t have mines at home, you can only rely on idle tasks issued by the Elf Association to obtain financial resources.
Or just develop a side career.
There are very few people who only work as trainers in this world. No one will pay trainers wages. They cannot get good rankings and bonuses in various competitions. If they don’t work or do something else, they can’t support themselves.
of the elf.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Not to mention the troublesome thing of raising elves.,
There are also many people who, as they grow older, give up becoming trainers due to practical, family and financial reasons, and turn to become social animals and other practitioners.
Battles are occasionally fought, and elves are occasionally cultivated, but it is not like before, immersed in elf battles all day and night.
Therefore, the path of being a trainer is very difficult. Ninety-nine percent of people do not persist until the end, 0.99% of people do nothing, and the remaining 0.01%
Be a successful person.
…
At this time, someone may ask, in terms of the position of trainers in society, what is the relationship between it and the gym?
Of course there is a connection, because gyms in the past were places where trainers were cultivated. At that time, there were many traditional trainers traveling around, and there were also many people who chose to stay in city gyms.
The emergence of the Silver Conference and later the Champions League symbolized the rise of the trainer industry. For fame, wealth and dreams, more and more people became trainers.
As the number of traditional trainers increases, more and more people choose to stay in the city and learn elf battles in gyms.
Gradually, the gym could no longer support so many people studying.
Then.
This place, the Trainer Academy, appeared.
It can be said that the Gym is the predecessor of the Trainer Academy. The purpose of the establishment of the Trainer Academy is to alleviate the phenomenon that a large number of people become trainers and redundant personnel are formed in the Gym.
Incidentally, it can also create professional positions for trainers, similar to teachers.
The first principal will naturally be a gym trainer, and the teachers there will be appointed by the Elf Association.
From this, the academic trainer was born prosperously.
And in order to once again ease the pressure on the gym, the trainer school also has the ability to recommend students to participate in the Silver Tournament, once again reducing the burden on the gym.
Nowadays, traditional trainers have become rare individuals, and nine out of ten people who come to challenge the gym are trainers from other regions.
Of course, this is also related to the general trend of the development of the times. As cities continue to expand outward, all walks of life are developing extremely rapidly. Even the elves no longer need to be caught by themselves. They can be purchased from local breeding houses.
, and the elves bred in the breeding house are of top quality in terms of character and development potential.
Unlike the elves in the wild, who are full of wildness, you have to spend time to establish a good relationship with the elves and make them listen to your orders.
Most of the elves born in breeding houses are obedient and affectionate, just like the expensive cats purchased in pet stores in their previous lives, and are the result of multi-generational breeding.
The gym was thus completely liberated.
Although it is no longer as lively as before, most of the gym owners seem to be happy and leisurely. Anyway, the Elf Association releases a large amount of funds and resources every year, and the Elf Association does not prohibit gym trainers from accepting disciples.
With its own strength, the Elf Association has to think carefully if it wants to harm the gym.
It's just that most young gym trainers don't have this idea.
For example, Xiaosong is obsessed with money, Ami, whose gentle appearance hides the fact that she is a homebody, Xiaoqian, who wants to be a big star, and Asu, who feels that being a police officer has a better future, but is forced to inherit the family property.
And the leader of the dragon people, Xiaochun of the Brother Control Faction.
These younger generation of gym trainers have no idea of becoming "sect" leaders, and focus solely on their secondary careers or lives.
"I think it's a bit like boiling a frog in warm water, don't you think? The original gyms were a collection of armed forces. The Elf Association used fame and fortune to divide the gyms into pieces, and then subtly changed the training of the new generation of gyms.
The idea of family. Even if the gymnasium is not prohibited from accepting disciples, the gymnasium will not be able to become bigger and stronger."
Ibrahimovic Moon, who was also curious about the development of the gym and had reviewed the information with Heido, said this.
"Perhaps Sakaki, a gym trainer from Changqing City, became a villain just to change this situation. After all, it allows him to control a powerful force."
Heiduo replied: "It's possible. In order to consolidate his position, the gym will not become a small group that listens to the tune but not the propaganda... But this result will also make the world more stable and prosperous. I don't want to be in the magical world."
Baby world at war.”
