Chapter 2: The Gym Leader Goes on a Long Journey, The Spirit Beasts Cause Trouble

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

In the training ground of the gym.

Giles was completely stunned.

What kind of joke is this?

He’s just an ordinary Bronze-rank Beast Tamer.

Usually, he only did some odd chores in the gym.

Now, the leader was asking him to manage the gym for her.

Gilese felt like his brain had stopped functioning.

“Leader, are you serious?”

Honestly, Giles didn’t want to take on the job..

If he had the time, he might as well look into his problem about his own beast taming talent.

When he first transmigrated to this world, Giles had still been a little excited.

After all, in his previous life, he especially liked the world of Pokémon.

In the process of going out to train, they would catch different creatures, meet more friends, go through battles with their creatures, and so on.

This was a life Giles yearned for.

This world undoubtedly satisfied his fantasies.

There were all kinds of spirit beasts, genius Beast Tamers, and the Global Beast Tamer Tournament.

It was very similar to the Pokémon world.

Therefore, Giles was especially looking forward to the day he became a Beast Tamer.

However…

When Giles reached the age where he could tame his beast, he selected his first spirit beast with great expectations and made a contract.

Then, his hopes were dashed.

His talent for beast taming was terrible.

The worst kind.

He could only contract a Bronze-rank spirit beast

In his previous life, one would call him a good-for-nothing.

The saying that “the wheel of fortune turns” was all but empty talk when it came to him.

For the Beast Tamers of this world it was not as simple as just leveling up.

Beast Tamers usually leveled up together with their spirit beasts.

In the beginning, every Beast Tamer would contract with a Bronze-rank spirit beast. Then, they would cultivate the spirit beast and impart it with combat knowledge to help it level up.

After a spirit master leveled up, it would spur the Beast Tamer’s spiritual power to become stronger. Through this, the Beast Tamer could then contract higher-rank spirit beasts.

However…

This wouldn’t work on Giles as the essence of a Beast Tamer contracting a spirit beast was essentially to use spiritual power to connect to a spirit beast.

The stronger one’s spiritual power was, the more powerful the contract would be.

The advancement of the spiritual beast would feed the Beast Tamer again, forming a positive cycle.

After Giles contracted a spirit beast, the spirit beast’s advancement did not enhance Giles’s spiritual power.

For example, he had contracted a Bronze-rank spirit beast.

After the spirit beast leveled up, he could either give up the contract or forcefully continue the contract.

However, forcefully continuing the contract would only cause Giles to be attacked by the spiritual power of the spirit beast, and thereby turn him into an idiot.

Needless to say, he would not risk his life.

With regard to this, Giles speculated that the reason might be because he had transmigrated here.

However, that was no longer important.

After reading up on a lot of relevant knowledge, Giles realized that it was not a must to contract a spirit beast in order to become a Beast Tamer.

There were records in the history of Beast Tamers’ development.

The first Beast Tamer that was born back then did not establish a contract with a spirit beast.

Instead, he treated spirit beasts as his companions and accompanied them in their growth.

The intelligence of a spirit beast was similar to that of a human.

Under these circumstances, spirit beasts would often become loyal companions of their Beast Tamers after growing up.

However, this method had its drawbacks.

That was, the spirit beasts would not be able to be controlled and could easily cause problems.

For example, the spirit beast, Green-furred Dog.

If a contract was not established with this kind of spirit beast, it basically wouldn’t listen to the orders of a Beast Tamer.

At present, there was one such beast in the Starlux Gym, and no one had contracted with it yet.

It was usually full of energy and was like the huskies in his previous life. It often wreaked havoc in the gym.

For a period of time, it gave Giles a massive headache.

Back to the main topic.

Although this way was uncontrollable, at least there was still hope.

Thus, Giles usually treated the spirit beasts in the gym as his companions.

He hoped to find a spirit beast that could fight alongside him.

Except….

Giles’ hopes of this were dashed as well.

The spirit beasts in the gym were all brought back by the Gym Leader and were very close to the Gym Leader.

They were pretty much just harsh to him and put on an aloof attitude.

It was only when he fed them that their attitude towards him improved slightly.

However, Giles didn’t give up and kept trying this method.

Apart from this, rumour had it that there was another way.

It was to not contract with a spirit beast right from the start and use other means to strengthen one’s own spiritual power.

If he succeeded, he wouldn’t need to contract a Bronze-rank ferocious beast as a transition. He could directly contract a higher-rank spirit beast.

However, this was just a theory without any actualisation.

Strengthening his own spiritual power.

It was easier said than done.

How could it be so easy to achieve?

Back to the main topic.

Giles really didn’t want to take over the gym.

With that time, he might as well look into how to solve his own problem.

However, what the Gym Leader said next completely eliminated his thoughts of turning her down.

“Someone sent a message. There seems to be traces of Mythic Beasts appearing in the Hengduan Mountain Range. I want to go over and take a look.”

“Other than that, I have to visit a few old friends. It will probably take some time.”

“Therefore, I’ll leave everything in the gym to you,” the Gym Leader said slowly.

When he heard that, Giles shuddered.

Mythic Beast?

One had to understand that the ranks of the spirit beasts in this world were divided into Bronze, Silver, Gold, Epic, Legend and Mythic.

It was the same for Beast Tamers.

The current Gym Leader was an Epic-rank Beast Tamer and was considered one of the top few Beast Tamers.

As for Mythic-rank Beast Tamers, no one had seen them before.

Some people were even doubtful whether there were any Mythic-rank Beast Tamers.

Now, there were traces of Mythic Beasts.

Naturally, some powerful Beast Tamers wouldn’t be able to sit still and would want to go and check.

Giles knew he had no reason to turn her down.

Putting aside the fact that after transmigrating to this world, the previous Gym Leader had adopted him since he was young, just the appearance of the Mythic Beast this time was already a huge event.

Giles scratched his head, knowing he’d just have to put a square peg into a round hole.

“Before I come back, reject all the Beast Tamer rank evaluations, Beast Tamer challenges, et cetera. Just take good care of those spirit beast cubs in the gym.”

After handing over the relevant matters, Alice summoned a Giant Golden Eagle and mounted it.

Following a loud eagle cry, she gradually disappeared into the horizon.

As he watched the Gym Leader gradually disappear, Giles’ eyes were filled with envy.

At the same time, it strengthened his conviction to become a Beast Tamer.

However, when he thought about the spirit beasts in the gym…

He immediately felt overwhelmed.

Usually, with the Gym Leader around, some of them were already mischievous.

Now that the Gym Leader was far away and he was alone, he couldn’t control those energetic beasts.

Giles rubbed his forehead and grimaced.

“I hope that it will be quiet and there won’t be any trouble.”

However, the last thing he wanted to happen still happened.

A few minutes later, he arrived at the spirit-beast section of the gym.

The veins on his forehead immediately popped.

All he saw was chaos.

A group of spirit beasts was making a din.

Giles winced.

“I knew it…”
