Elf: Starting as the Fighting Gym Master, and being entangled by Nancy.

Chapter 104 Xiaolan: Lies don’t hurt, the truth is the sharpest knife
Finally, she slowly said, "Okay."

Nancy felt that spending a small amount of money to learn how to arrest Team Rocket was a good deal.

"So, what should we do next?"

The transaction was completed, and what Nazhi wanted to ask now was about the journey.

"Split into two groups. I'll head towards Cerulean City, and you'll head towards Lavender Town. Both routes lead to the Rock Mountain Tunnel. Whoever finds Team Rocket first will unlock the shared location."

Li Xuan pulled out a map from the table next to him.

This is a large map of the Kanto region, recording various nooks and crannies.

Among them, Jinhuang City is located at the center of the Kanto region.

It is surrounded by various towns.

The place we are preparing to go this time is located in the northeast corner of the Kanto region. Normally, there are actually three routes to take.

There are two routes to Golden City, and you can also take a detour to the Withered Leaf City below Golden City.

Of course, considering the distance to Vermilion City, if you don’t have a Pokémon that can fly very fast, you’d better forget about it.

At present, the golden yellow city with the best comprehensive conditions has become the most preferred choice.

However, now that these two gym leaders have left Golden City, it is unknown whether any members of Team Rocket will take advantage of the situation and sneak in.

"Sure enough, the defense force is still too weak."

Li Xuan spoke in a heavy tone, glanced at Bu Miao who was stuffing the bun into his mouth, and slowly exhaled from his mouth.

"Ugh……"

Bu Miao: ???
She was just having breakfast when Li Xuan suddenly sighed, "What the hell?!"

"Li Xuan, what does your sigh mean?!"

Bu Miao said carelessly, pointing a finger at Li Xuan's nose and gritting his teeth.

The army green coat she was wearing swayed with it, and she covered her chest with her hands, feeling extremely angry.

"Nothing, I just think that the defenses in Jinhuang City are too weak. After Miss Nazi and I leave temporarily, you will be one of the best masters in Jinhuang City."

Li Xuan doesn't look down on Bu Miao.

Instead, he looked down upon the defense forces of Golden City equally.

Including Miss Junsha who is in charge, the number of trainers with combat capabilities can even be counted on one hand.

Don't think that Li Xuan is lying.

When he was fighting underground boxing, he had a general understanding of the situation in Jinhuang City.

A specialized economic metropolis.

Corporate slaves account for a relatively large proportion.

I feel like I've lost my soul when I go to work every day. There's no way a trainer can become strong!

"Ms. Nancy, what do you think of the Golden Gym apprentices? Let's compare their strength with that of Bumiao. Who is stronger?"

Li Xuan picked up a bun and finished it in no time. Then he asked Nancy about the situation of the other gym.

The rough understanding just mentioned does not include the Golden Gym.

Before he took over, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the two gyms were sworn enemies.

Li Xuan definitely doesn’t know the internal information of the Golden Gym.

"About the same. If you don't count the attribute restraint, the strongest one is probably about 1.1 Bulmaow."

Naz roughly calculated and gave a relatively accurate answer.

1.1 cloth cat.

The strength of the Pokémon in his hand is almost close to level 40.

It's definitely enough for Cerulean City, but this is Golden City...

Li Xuan thought for a moment and decided to leave the three admirals, Farfetch'd, and Blaziken in the gym this time.

At least, except for Farfetch'd, the other four still have some unique skills.

He left with Monkey King, Parasiticus, Riolu, Kirlia, Articuno, and Poliwag.

These six are just enough to deal with most situations.

Of course, since Leo didn't score, he wasn't counted in the carrying position, which was a bit of a steal. "Little Blue, are you coming or not?"

Li Xuan took out the super ball and was about to leave the dojo when he looked at Xiao Lanfa who was staring at his phone and asked.

"I...I'd better forget it."

Xiaolan's tone was a little stuck, and she sounded a little nervous.

"what happened?"

Seeing that Xiao Lan was in this condition for the first time, Li Xuan couldn't help but ask worriedly.

This is an apprentice of the dojo, please don’t let anything happen to him!

"call……"

Xiao Lan took a few deep breaths to adjust her breathing before meeting Li Xuan's gaze.

In Li Xuan's eyes, Xiao Lan was pinching the corner of her clothes, and she seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Xiao Lan had something to say.

But the other party just didn't say anything.

This made Li Xuan a little anxious.

"Hey~ We're really rushed today, so just say whatever you want to say. We've known each other for a long time, it's not like we just met."

Li Xuan stretched out a hand, placed it on Xiaolan's cheek and gently pinched it: "Speak~"

"Mmmmm..."

Xiao Lan's delicate face was almost pinched to bring out baby fat. Two tears squeezed out of her eyes due to the pain, and an unclear "gulp" sound came out of her mouth.

Li Xuan pinched it for a long time before slowly letting go.

Xiao Lan's face was already red, and she stared at Li Xuan with a resentful expression: "Why did you hit me for no reason? You are so mean!"

"Okay, I'm going to get down to business."

Xiao Lan waved her hand and sorted out her next words: "I have a friend who's been a little tight on money lately..."

"What's going on? You want to come to Jinhuang City to steal gold, and if you get caught, you want me to make a killing, right?"

When Li Xuan heard Xiao Lan mention the friend, he immediately formed a preconceived notion that the other person's hands might not be very clean.

"you……!"

Xiao Lan was so angry at what Li Xuan said that she couldn't think of any rebuttal for a long time.

Lies don't hurt, truth is the knife.

Since you're hanging out with her, how can your hands be clean?

"I-I was thinking of finding him a job. Doesn't your dojo need an apprentice? I thought if it was him, he might be something you'd like."

Xiao Lan finally expressed her intention, and she tightened her grip on the corner of his clothes, mentally preparing herself for Li Xuan to reject her.

After all, she took Li Xuan's business card when she first met him.

The first impression is not very good.

However, Xiao Lan didn’t understand why Li Xuan invited her to be his apprentice.

Xiao Lan felt that she was not a very good person, but Li Xuan still provided her with food, which made her feel somewhat guilty.

When introducing the newcomer to Li Xuan, he also felt a vague sense of guilt.

What if the new person introduced here is not a good person?

Wouldn’t Li Xuan’s kindness be wasted then?
Xiaolan's sense of self-blame grew stronger, and he tilted his head even lower.

"Do you have a photo? Let me see what it looks like."

Li Xuan seemed to have thought of something and reached out to Xiao Lan to ask for the photo.

"Oh, here it is!"

Xiao Lan quickly took out the photo album from her mobile phone, clicked on the picture, and handed it to Li Xuan.

He looked like a teenager with a similar build to his peers. In the photo, he had silver eyes and short red hair...
