Elf: This owner is so sunny.

Chapter 337 An unexpected challenger! Xiaozhi!!
A few more days passed.

A familiar face came to Macha City.

In other words, he is a trainer who has long wanted to challenge the Macha Gym and Baiyu, who is also from Pallet Town and is a legendary trainer.

The true protagonist throughout the entire Pokémon world, Red’s younger brother, Satoshi!
"I say, Xiaozhi, are you really going to challenge the White Feather Gym Master today?"

"I'm not trying to discourage you. With your current strength, you are no match for Master Baiyu."

The orange-haired girl with a ponytail had a hint of worry in her eyes.

She knew very well in her heart how powerful this gym master was. Not to mention her, there was probably no one in the entire Kanto region who didn't know Bai Yu's strength.

Even the former league champion, Xiaozhi's brother Red, lost to the opponent.

"Yes, Xiaozhi, in my opinion, you still need some time to settle down."

"Besides, didn't we agree that we would go to the Johto region and challenge the Silver Tournament this time?"

At the side, a bronze-skinned, squinty-eyed boy spoke to persuade them.

When he first heard that Satoshi was going to the Johto region, he was quite happy. After all, there were some Pokémon in the Johto region that he had never seen before, and he could continue to work hard for his dream.

As a result... not long after Xiaozhi went to the Johto region, he returned to the Kanto region through Mt. Silver and came to Macha City, a city very close to Nibe City!
"Yeah~ Xiaozhi, don't be so willful."

Xiaoxia's face was full of worry. She was afraid that Xiaozhi would lose too badly. In her opinion, Xiaozhi's strength was still far behind Qinglv and the others, not to mention Baiyu.

As gym leaders, Baiyu's popularity is only comparable to Sakaki's among the officially designated gyms. The remaining gyms are not as well-known as Baiyu's current gym.

"Don't worry, Xiaoxia and Xiaogang."

"I have made full preparations this time, and I will definitely not lose the game."

Xiaozhi's young face was full of confidence. He had wanted to challenge Baiyu for a long time, but he never had the chance. Now that he finally had the opportunity, he naturally didn't want to let it go easily.

What's more, during this period of time, Xiaozhi also cultivated a new partner, a Pokémon handed to him by Professor Oak himself, who is said to be from the Kalos region.

At first, the other party did not recognize Xiaozhi, but as a series of events happened, the Pokémon truly recognized Xiaozhi and became an indispensable member of Xiaozhi's team.

"Blind confidence."

Xiaoxia said unhappily.

In her opinion, Xiaozhi's chances of winning this time are close to zero.

Although he managed to get into the top four in his first Quartz Conference, in Misty's eyes, Xiaozhi's improvement was not obvious, especially his personality was still like that of a child.

"Pika pika!"

Pikachu nodded. Its idea was the same as Misty and Brock's. With Satoshi's current strength, challenging the Macha Gym would undoubtedly be a dead end.

"I will never lose."

Xiaozhi is full of confidence and he will challenge Baiyu regardless of winning or losing.

At that time, after the Quartz Conference ended, he wanted to challenge Bai Yu, but he couldn't find an opportunity. This time was very important to him, and he didn't want to miss it again.

"Excuse me, please make way, please make way..."

At this time, a young man, holding a Pokémon in his arms, ran past Xiaozhi and others with a depressed look on his face, and even bumped into Xiaozhi while running.

"Sorry, sorry... I need to go to the Pokémon Center now. I'm so sorry."

The boy kept apologizing, and then ran non-stop towards the Pokémon Center with a panicked look on his face. Judging from his route, he seemed to be a challenger who had just come out of the Macha Gym.

"He is..."

Xiaozhi was a little confused. How could he, who had a rather thick brain, think of these things?

"I think he just finished challenging the gym that Bai Yu is in."

"It looks like they lost miserably."

Xiaogang touched his chin and said with a heavy face.

There are bound to be bumps and bruises in gym battles, and the boy ran so fast just now, it was obvious that the Pokémon in his hand had suffered serious injuries.

However, as a fellow gym leader, Brock thought that the boy was not strong enough. Judging from his attire, he should be a trainer who had just started traveling not long ago.

It's normal to feel this kind of panic.

Generally speaking, as a gym leader, you will be reserved in gym battles and hold back a little, so it is rare for a Pokémon to be seriously injured.

"I'm telling you, with Xiaozhi's strength, after fighting with the White Feather Gym Master, he will definitely be the same as the boy just now. I wonder what you'll do if Pikachu gets hurt by then."

Xiaoxia put her hands on her hips, with a stern look on her face, and criticized Xiaozhi's decision in detail.

Even though he made it to the top four in the Quartz Conference, Xiaoxia thought he still had many shortcomings. He was able to reach that level purely because of the strength of Charizard and Pikachu.

Xiaoxia couldn't see any tactical coordination... Even in the battle against Shinji, when she knew there were poisonous spikes on the field, she still stupidly let Charizard stand on the ground and released a super strong flame to burn the poisonous spikes on the field...

This kind of one-track-minded fighting style may be effective against Xiaomao and Shinji, but if you really encounter those powerful trainers, this kind of fighting style will hardly be effective.

"I don't care about that. Pikachu and I are both the strongest."

After saying this, Xiaozhi ran towards the direction of the Macha Gym, looking very excited.

Pikachu, who was sitting on Xiaozhi's shoulder, also showed a matter-of-fact expression. It hadn't seen Bai Yu for a long time...

"Really."

Xiaoxia complained and followed Xiaozhi.

"He's still the same as before. Come to think of it, I haven't seen Xiaozhi so serious in a long time."

Xiaogang chuckled and said that since he and Xiaoxia had some time to return to their respective cities to handle affairs, by the time they arrived in the Johto region, Xiaozhi had already obtained six gym badges.

With only two official badges left, he would be able to participate in this Silver Conference.

In Xiaogang's opinion, Xiaozhi's strength is not as good as his brother Red, but with Xiaozhi's unique charm, he can always display amazing command methods in battle.

Whether in the Quartz Conference or in other battles, Xiaozhi has demonstrated his unique battle choices.

Xiaozhi and others entered the Macha Gym.

The layout of the entire gym is absolutely first-class in the entire level.

When the lady at the front desk saw Xiaozhi again, there was a look of surprise on her face. She pointed at Xiaozhi and said uncertainly, "Are you...are you His Highness Red?"

Apparently, the lady at the front desk mistook Xiaozhi for Red.

"Hehe... I'm not... Chihong is my brother."

"I'm Xiaozhi from Zhenxin Town."

When hearing his brother's name, Xiaozhi didn't show any disappointment or resentment on his face, only joy. He has always wanted to surpass his brother.

"Pallet Town?"

"Do you know Xiao Jin too?"

The lady at the front desk murmured, and after hearing what the other party said, she also thought of the town where Xiaojin was.

"Xiao Jin? He is my neighbor." Xiao Zhi nodded when he heard Xiao Jin's name.

Xiaojin is indeed Xiaozhi's neighbor, and he is one year younger than Xiaozhi and Chihong. Xiaozhi and Chihong are twins, and their ages are only slightly different.

"So that's how it is..." the lady at the front desk nodded slightly.

"My name is Xiaogang. May I ask this lady, your name is..."

Xiaogang, who had just run over, rushed out like an arrow the moment he saw the receptionist. He stretched out his hand to drag the receptionist's salesperson, but just as he was about to take action, Xiaoxia grabbed his ear.

"Behave yourself in the gym and don't embarrass our gym leader."

Xiaoxia's roar reached Xiaogang's ears, without any mercy.

It would be fine if this happened at normal times. After all, this is a gym, and both of them are officially appointed gym masters in Kanto. He doesn't feel ashamed of doing such a rude thing, and Xiaoxia feels ashamed too.

He doesn't look like a gym leader at all.

"Do you all want to challenge Master Baiyu?"

The lady at the front desk looked at Xiaoxia and Xiaogang with a strange look. The sudden appearance of three challengers really surprised the lady at the front desk.

She thought today would be the same as yesterday, with only one or two challengers...

"No... I'm the only one here to challenge you this time."

Xiaozhi shook his head, then raised his head and said with burning eyes.

Seeing this, the lady at the front desk nodded silently.

"Then please follow me in. I will go and inform Master Baiyu."

After saying that, the lady at the front desk brought Xiaozhi and his group to the venue. Compared to the front desk, the entire venue looked more upscale. Even the knowledgeable Xiaogang was shocked by it.

Compared to the Macha Gym, his Nibi Gym is like a garbage dump... It's made of stone everywhere, and the lighting is dim. If it weren't for the title of an official gym...

Xiaogang must have starved to death long ago.

Compared to Xiaogang, the impact on Xiaoxia is not that big. Xiaoxia's Cerulean Gym itself is not large, so the scale of a gym that can accommodate Water Ballet can be imagined.

Besides, Xiaoxia is not short of money. Looking at the eight major gyms, her income ranks among the top few. At least it is much higher than that of the Nibe Gym.

While Brock and Misty were thinking, Ash kept his eyes on the field. The passion in his heart kept rising at this moment. Even Pikachu on Ash's shoulder felt the passion in his heart at this moment!
"Pika pika~"

Pikachu reached out and patted Ash's face.

"Pikachu, we must win."

"Pika pika!!"

On the other side of the field, as Xiaozhi watched, a figure appeared.

The person who came was Bai Yu.

"Long time no see, Xiaozhi."

Bai Yu smiled and looked in Xiaozhi's direction.

"Well, long time no see, Brother Baiyu."

Xiaozhi nodded excitedly. Baiyu was indeed one or two years older than Xiaozhi and the others.

"Are you fully prepared for this challenge?"

Bai Yu raised his eyebrows. He had heard from the front desk that Xiaozhi was going to challenge.

At this point in time, Xiaozhi shouldn't be traveling to the Johto region. How come he suddenly came to his own gym to challenge? The timeline seemed to be messed up again.

But come to think of it... Xiao Mao and Qinglu did not go to the Johto area, but marched towards the Padia area.

"Brother Baiyu! I have made all the preparations. I will prove my strength to Brother Chi." Xiaozhi's tone was very enthusiastic and his eyes were bright. It can be seen that he has made all the preparations for the battle.

Hearing Xiaozhi's determination, Bai Yu seemed a little hesitant. He was not sure whether Xiaozhi had cleared the levels of his Pokémon, but looking at Xiaozhi's eager look, he couldn't bear to refuse.

But, as the gym leader, how can I refuse the challenge of the challenger?

Moreover, Bai Yu still remembered that when Kanto went to the Johto region, Xiaozhi's team remained basically unchanged, and their strength had actually been greatly improved.

Judging from Xiaozhi's performance in the Quartz Conference, he should be able to deal with the kings from other regions now. As for his own region, his strength still needs to be improved.

After all, Xiaozhi is not a wall-hanger like Red and Green. His growth to this point has exceeded Baiyu's expectations.

"If I remember correctly, that frog should have been captured by Xiaozhi."

"I wonder if it evolved into Greninja..."

Bai Yu's mind flashed with the Frog he met in the Blatano Institute when he went to the Kalos region in the past. Bai Yu specifically asked Dr. Blatano to send it to Dr. Oak and hand it over to Satoshi personally.

That's Ash's destined Pokémon.

"Brother Bai Yu, do you accept my challenge?"

Seeing that Bai Yu had not responded yet, Xiaozhi asked again.

"As a gym leader, I don't have the right to refuse a challenge."

Bai Yu said with a chuckle.

"Hehe... If Brother Baiyu refuses, I won't mind. At worst, I can come over and challenge you again tomorrow. I believe that Brother Baiyu will accept my challenge sooner or later."

Xiaozhi chuckled. He had already made all the preparations. If Baiyu was not here today, he would wait in Macha City until the day Baiyu came back.

No matter what, Xiaozhi wants to fight in this gym battle.

"You are still quite confident~"

"But let me make it clear first, in this gym match, I will do my best to test your current strength."

"Don't let me down, Xiaozhi."

Bai Yu finished speaking and glanced at the referee.

'good! ’

Xiaozhi clenched his fists and focused his eyes on Baiyu.

He must win~
To prove to his brother, Chihong, that he is very strong now, even stronger than before!

Xiaozhi has always had a strong desire to win deep in his heart. He believes that one day he will surpass Xiaomao, Green Brother, and his brother.

The reason why he came back from the Johto region was very simple. His strength was too strong, so strong that it didn't take him much time to challenge those gyms.

So, he returned to Kanto and came to Macha City. Now he wanted to see how strong he was. Of course... Xiaozhi also had his own selfish motives. He also wanted to take the Macha Gym's gym badge first.

The badge that Chi Ge didn't get was obtained by himself.

When he thought of this, a silly smile appeared on Xiaozhi's face.
