Chapter 542

The last badge is finally in hand!

"With your strength, you should have collected all the badges, right?"

"Yes!"

"Then congratulations to you; you have qualified to challenge the Trainer's Tower."

"The Trainer's Tower?"

"Anyway, you can go there anytime, so there's no harm in telling you now!"

Gu Sansi explained: "You must collect seven badges to obtain a '960' entry ticket to Zhidao. Zhidao has a Trainer's Tower, also known as the Twelve Zodiac Tower."

"The Twelve Zodiac?"

"Yes! Each zodiac represents a Pokémon. The tower has twelve floors, twelve levels in total, and it gets harder the higher you go."

Bai Jing smiled. "I see. That's interesting!"

"Right? Let's see how high your strength can take you."

"Heh, how high? I'll knock down your entire tower!"

Gu Sansi said with a grin: "Young man, don't be too arrogant. The Twelve Zodiac Tower is nothing like a Gym, especially the upper floors, which are filled with the strongest among the strong!"

"No problem. The stronger they are, the more challenging it will be. Let's wait and see!"

Gu Sansi gave a thumbs-up. "Good ambition. Then I'll wait for you on the twelfth floor, provided you can make it to me!"

"Huh? You..."

"That's right. I am one of the Twelve Zodiacs, and the strongest Dragon!"

At that moment, Gu Sansi was immensely proud, radiating pure swagger!

But...

Bai Jing eyed him with a suspicious look. "You... really?"

Gu Sansi spat a mouthful of old blood, furious with shame: "I was just messing around earlier. You haven't seen my true strength yet!"

"Is that so? You won't 'hold back' on me again, will you?"

Gu Sansi ground his teeth!

Bai Jing said, uninterested: "Why do I feel I have no expectations for the Twelve Zodiac Tower anymore?"

Gu Sansi wanted to bite someone!

"What about the prize? You've made it sound so grand; the prize can't be too low-tier, right? Otherwise, wouldn't that shame your Twelve Zodiacs?"

Gu Sansi said proudly: "Of course. The prize is guaranteed not to disappoint you, provided you clear the tower."

"Give us a hint!"

"Hmm... Do you know the meaning of Zhidao?"

"No!"

"There is a breeding base up there, with Pokémon Eggs of numerous quantities and varieties."

"So the reward is a Pokémon Egg?"

Gu Sansi nodded. "Pokémon Eggs are one of the prizes, and they are a batch carefully selected. If you succeed in clearing the levels, you can choose one from inside..."

"How good is their quality?"

"Let me put it this way: there are offspring of Elite Four Pokémon inside; they definitely won't be bad!"

"Understood!"

In that case, the prize is indeed not bad!

"Thanks for the info. I'll come to challenge you tomorrow. Tell your partners to prepare themselves!"

Watching his retreating back, Gu Sansi smiled slightly. "This challenge should be quite interesting!"

After leaving the Gym, Bai Jing found Deng Xin and accompanied her to complete the exploration mission.

Why not challenge today? Because he needed Lucario's help.

Although Gu Sansi was easily defeated by him, Bai Jing did not think challenging the Twelve Zodiacs would be so simple; he would not underestimate any opponent and would go all out.

Lucario is the backbone; we can't do without it. We can't just have Slaking push through everything; that would be no fun!

"The Twelve Zodiacs!"

"There's actually such an interesting place? I can't wait to challenge it!"

Hearing Bai Jing speak, the tomboy was full of enthusiasm!

"I'll help you finish the exploration mission today, and we'll go together tomorrow!"

"Great!"
