Elf, who made him the gym leader?.

Chapter 62 You Are Not a Bad Trainer

After thinking for a while, Gu Xin decided to ask Lei Si.

"Mr. Lei Si, are you okay?" Gu Xin spoke to Lei Si tentatively.

"Huh? What's up with that challenger?"

The girl at the front desk in the spectator seats also noticed this subtle change.

After all, Lei Si's appearance at the moment was really not right. He lowered his head and looked dejected with no desire to fight at all.

"Emm... you won't become depressed just because of this disadvantage, right?"

Mitsuki pointed her chin with her green jade finger and tilted her head in confusion.

Judging from the Kingscorpion and this Mook-Hawk just now, the strength of this challenger is definitely very good, and he should be an elite trainer at least.

It's just that he was poisoned twice and was confused once. Shouldn't he lose the will to fight so easily?
On the other side, Shinji pursed his lips tightly and stared at Raiji in the field, his hands unconsciously clenched tighter and tighter.

elder brother……

On the field.

"Mr. Lei Si?"

"..."

Gu Xin called out twice more before Lei Si finally came to his senses and raised his head.

However, it can be clearly felt that Lei Si's condition is not right, and his face is very pale.

"I'm sorry, Master Gu Xin, I think I..."

Lei Si looked at Gu Xin's concerned expression and gave a very forced smile, his voice very hoarse.

Lei Si's voice paused, and he looked with complicated eyes at Mukeying, who was still in a state of chaos in the field.

I seem to be unable to fight...

Lei Si felt very bitter. He traveled to several regions, challenged all the official gyms, and even obtained six pioneering symbols.

But in front of the Age of Gods, he was as weak and powerless as a baby.

Why? Lei Si couldn't figure it out, and he even questioned his own ability.

"I want to release ..."

"Mr. Lei Si, although I don't know what you've been through, I think you want to gain something by fighting with me, right?"

Gu Xin interrupted Lei Si's words, looked at him with a smile and spoke softly.

Lei Si was stunned when he heard this.

"In fact, I can feel that Mr. Lei Si must have been a person who was quite strict with Pokémon before, or a trainer who was very persistent in pursuing strength and power, right?"

"...Yes." Lei Si was silent for a moment, but did not deny it.

There was nothing wrong with him admitting that all trainers in this world had different philosophies, but it was impossible to tell who was right and who was wrong.

The strictness and cruelty of Pokémon training does not necessarily mean that the trainer does not like his or her Pokémon.

There is nothing wrong with pursuing intensity and power. As long as you are a trainer with a dream, you will naturally pursue strength.

"But your expression now tells me that you seem to be giving up."

Lei Si was not surprised when he heard the voice, or he didn't have the energy to care about it at the moment. Lei Si just felt very tired.

"I'm just a useless loser."

Lei Si spoke bitterly. He had worked hard for so many years, but in the end, this was the result.

He was nothing in front of the Kamiyo, and even... he was so powerless in front of this young boy gym master.

"Maybe... I am indeed not a qualified trainer." Lei Si murmured in a low voice.

"Whether one is a qualified trainer or not should not be defined by ourselves." Gu Xin shook his head and slowly walked into the field.

There was actually no need to continue this gym battle, as Lei Si had no intention of fighting at all.

Lei Si looked up at Gu Xin.

“It should be defined by our partners.”

"partner……"

Lei Si was stunned.

"Yes, the elves are our most important partners and companions. Doesn't it depend on their thoughts whether we are qualified?"

Gu Xin took out a bottle of panacea spray and sprayed it at the confused and poisoned M'K Eagle.

The panacea fell on M'K's Eagle, and M'K's Eagle, which was originally shaking its head, quickly shook its head and regained consciousness and health. M'K's Eagle immediately stared at the Flame Queen Lizard with its extremely sharp eagle eyes.

This despicable, ugly, cunning, disgusting female lizard actually dared to play dirty tricks on me, Master Eagle!!!
The Flame Queen Lizard glanced at M'K'Eagle with a sidelong glance, with a mocking look on her face.

The M'K Eagle naturally noticed this and got angry!

But why is the atmosphere a little off?

Mook-Hawk quickly came to his senses. Why did the opposing trainer come here? And it seemed that this person had used a potion to wake him up just now?
"Perhaps Mr. Lei Si, you can ask Moeko whether it thinks you are a dedicated and excellent trainer."

Guxin smiled and pointed at Lei Si to the confused Mukeying.

Hearing this, M'K Eagle turned back to look at Lei Si in confusion. It was still a little confused about the situation. Weren't they fighting? Why were they suddenly chatting?

“……”Lei Si was silent.

He thought of what he had done before. In order to become stronger, he unscrupulously trained the M'K Eagles in a cruel way, leaving them often covered in wounds.

Would the Muke Eagles really agree with me as I am now?

Lei Si pursed his lips, looking a little ashamed.

"Mk'Hawk, what do you think? Is Mr. Raiji your favorite trainer?"

"Muke~! Muke!"

Mukeying responded almost without hesitation, continuing to narrate something.

Lei Si suddenly raised his head. Although he didn't understand what Mukeying said, the tacit understanding of fighting side by side for many years still made him roughly understand what Mukeying meant. But it was precisely because of this that Lei Si couldn't believe it.

"It said that although Mr. Lei Si can be fierce sometimes, he actually does it for their own good. Everyone wants to become stronger and fight for Lei Si, so even if the training is tiring and painful, they can persist."

"They all like you, Mr. Lei Si. You are the only trainer they recognize."

Gu Xin smiled and spoke to Lei Si. He had the power of Changpan so he could naturally understand what Mukle said.

"...Muk-Eagle..."

Lei Si's eyes instantly became blurred and red, his tear glands began to feel sore, and he pursed his lips tightly as he looked at Muk Ying.

And perhaps because it was the first time that Muke Eagle was stared at like this, he seemed a little shy and slowly turned his head away.

"A trainer who can be recognized by his Pokémon is a qualified and excellent trainer. Mr. Raiji, you are not weak, nor are you a bad trainer."

Gusin softened his tone.

Although it is undeniable that Raiji is very strict with his Pokémon, just like Shinji in the early and middle stages of the original work.

But in reality, their Pokémon never actually hated them, which proved a point.

Even though Flame was abandoned by Shinji, it never hated Shinji. At the Lily of the Valley Conference, Flame defeated Electric Beast. In the end, Flame happily clenched his fist towards Shinji, and Shinji said sincerely, "You have become stronger."

A trainer who focuses on pursuing the strength and power of Pokémon is a trainer, and a trainer who focuses on the trust, bond, and friendship of Pokémon is also a trainer, but they have different concepts and focuses.

Of course, this is within the reasonable sense. If it is an abnormally excessive and abusive special training, then there is nothing to say and just die quickly.

"I……"

Lei Si was stunned when he heard this.

I'm not weak, nor am I a bad trainer...

At this moment, this sentence was the only thing circling in Lei Si's mind.

a long time.

Lei Si wiped away the scattered tears from the corners of his eyes, a sunny smile appeared on his handsome face, and he bowed solemnly to Gu Xin.

"I understand. Thank you very much, Master Guxin."

"Mr. Lei Si, there's no need to do this. It's too grand." Gu Xin helped Lei Si up and spoke with a helpless look.

"No, it is very necessary, Master Gu Xin. Without your words, I don't know what I would become." Lei Si said with a wry smile after he stood up.

His mentality had almost completely collapsed before, and he even felt that he might never fight again in the future.

After being completely defeated by Kamishiro and then being beaten almost like a robot by a gym trainer, how could he bear it?

But the words of approval from Mukeying and Guxin really brought some refreshing warmth to his cloudy heart.

"You're welcome. I was just doing what a gym leader should do." Gu Xin smiled and shook his head.

Encouraging and guiding challengers is also the job of a gym owner. Although he originally had little confidence, the effect seems to be quite good.

"But I didn't expect the gym battle to turn out like this."

"Actually, there's no need to continue the fight. I can't defeat you."

Hearing this, Lei Si shook his head. After this incident, he seemed to be much more cheerful.

"I will come to challenge you again. Now I want to go back and talk to my Pokémon. I... have done many things that have let them down before."

Lei Si bowed to Gu Xin to apologize. He was very grateful to Gu Xin, but he was also very eager to apologize to the Dragon King Scorpion and the others for his previous harsh behavior.

"Go ahead, Mr. Lei Si, you are always welcome to challenge me again." Gu Xin smiled warmly.

"Thank you, Shinji."

Lei Si called out to Shinji who was standing in the spectator booth, and Shinji quickly ran down to Lei Si's side, staring at Gu Xin with burning eyes.

He also witnessed everything that happened in the spectator stands, and Shinji was very happy that his brother had resolved his worries.

Because he was really worried that his brother would never recover from this and even give up his career as a trainer.

"Master Guxin, thank you for enlightening my brother."

Shinji also bowed to Guxin, his tone serious and solemn.

Lei Si was stunned, then smiled helplessly.

"You're welcome." Gu Xin chuckled.

"I am also a trainer. Next time I will come with my brother to challenge you!" Shinji raised his head and said solemnly.

He seemed to be very serious.

"Then I'm looking forward to it. Maybe next time you two brothers come, we can play doubles and let me see how well you brothers cooperate?"

Gu Xin stroked his chin with interest and suggested to the two brothers.

Shinji's eyes light up. Do you want to challenge your brother to a doubles match? Great!

"Then we will come over immediately after Shinji becomes stronger." Lei Si said with a smile. He seemed to have really come out of his psychological shadow.

"I'll wait for you."

Guxin said goodbye to the two with a smile, and then watched the brothers leave the gym.

Pa~pa~pa~
But at this moment, applause suddenly broke out.

Gu Xin looked towards the spectator seats, expecting to see Mitsuki and his younger sister, but what he saw was a red-haired, rebellious young man in a cloak.

"As expected, you are my junior~"

The red-haired young man grinned and looked at Gu Xin with satisfaction as he slowly spoke.

As expected of him, he is a junior who has received the gift of the Viridian Forest just like me. It was indeed the right decision to hand over Dratini to him.

"Crossing the Champion?"

Gu Xin looked at the blood-haired young man with a sharp and arrogant temperament in surprise.

Why did Yulongdu suddenly come here?
