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

Chapter 445 Itagaki: If it weren't for our differing stances, we might have been very good friends.

Chun's last Pokémon was Dragonite.

He is also his own hidden ace player!

Apart from her own family, no one knew that she possessed such a existence!

"Wuhu!"

The chubby, tan-colored Dragonite flapped its small wings and landed on the ground. Its fierce gaze met Gallade's, but then became clear and gentle.

Pokémon: Dragonite

[Attributes: dragon, flying]

【Level: 61】

[Feature: Multiple scales]

[Movement: Swiftness... other details omitted.]

The lightning-fast Dragonite!

And its strength has reached the Heavenly King level!
As expected, the "eighth" dojo in each region is no ordinary dojo.

Having a top-tier ace player shows their strength is indeed impressive.

Of course, compared to Uncle Liu, Xiao Chun is still quite lacking.

"Huh?" (Hey sis, why do you always call me out to deal with these really tricky Pokémon?)

Xiaochun's Dragonite stood there blankly, its wings trembling slightly.

It counted its recent battle records on its paws.

Last week, I was utterly crushed by the Dragonite that I was transferred to, and yesterday I was hit by a powerful cross-shaped attack from a Shiba. Now, this guy in front of me is an even tougher character who can slice meteorites like fruit...

Good heavens, big sister, if you have a problem with me, just say so!

Don't treat me like this!

Once or twice is one thing, but doing it so many times is clearly targeted!

"Wu!"

Dragonite spat out a wisp of sparks, feeling aggrieved, and weighed his own strength as a Champion-level goalkeeper again and again.

So why does it always involve challenging monsters far beyond its level?
It's just an ordinary Dragonite that dreams of leaving get off work on time to collect its Power Cubes!

"Dragonite! You're the only Champion-level fighter left in the team! This final battle is in your hands! It's our duty to restore Dragonite's glory!"

"Ugh!" (Then I'd rather regress!)

Xiaochun's Dragonite was reluctant to work, but under pressure, it had no choice but to go out and face Gallade.

"Wuhu..." (Hey bro, want some tree fruit? Go easy on me in this fight, and when it's late at night, I'll bring you two cases of milk and two baskets of tree fruit, okay?)

Dragonite stared longingly at Gallade.

"Ailu." (Okay, no problem.)
Gallade thought it was perfectly fine.

It's not like I'm going to lose the game; I'm just letting them win.

"Kuailong, great speed!"

Xiaochun's command suddenly came!

"Oops!" (Excuse me, senior!)
Dragonite emitted a dazzling white aura, instantly transforming into a streak of light that tore through the air.

It charged forward recklessly, leaving a long afterimage, and rammed into Gallade with an almost savage manner!
boom!
The violent impact made the field railings vibrate. Gallade was knocked back several meters by the speed of the impact, its feet plowing two deep marks on the field!

There is a huge gap between Elite Four level and Gym level. Compared with the two Gym level Pokémon mentioned earlier, this Extreme Speed ​​move is already very powerful.

Even Gallade got a little hurt.

Not many.

"Dragon Claw!"

"Wu!"

Dragonite roared and raised its claws, a dazzling blue light suddenly bursting forth!

Dragon-type energy condensed into a gigantic energy claw, which slashed down with the force to tear apart Gallade!

Gallade withstood the heavy blow from the dragon's claw, sparks flying from its body.

Immediately, his eyes flashed with super-powerful arcs of light, and his superpowers transformed into two crescent-shaped arcs of light that burst forth with a roar!
Swish!

At such close range, Dragonite's massive body was forced to take full damage, flying uncontrollably backward and rolling several times on the ground before barely coming to a stop.

With just one strike, the difference in skill was immediately apparent!

"Amazing, absolutely amazing! Gym Leader Li Xuan's Gallade withstood the Dragonite's fierce attack, and the nonchalant look in his eyes was just too cool!"

"Especially that mental blade technique, which conjures up out of thin air, is simply invincible!"

"Lord Gallade! Please spur me on!"

A gasp of surprise erupted from the audience, and the host, Xiaozhou, offered a few words of commentary.

This will take the battle to an even greater climax.

"Whoosh!" (Holy crap, senior, your mental blade is way too overpowered! Wait, senior, where are you?)
Dragonite flapped its wings and took to the air, only to find that Gallade had already disappeared from the spot.

"Dragonite, watch out behind you!"

Xiaochun's exclamation escaped her lips.

However, the warning came too late.

Gallade appeared behind Dragonite like a ghost, its fist gathering icy cold air and crashing down with a deafening roar as ice crystals exploded!

Dragonite was slammed into the ground by the heavy punch, the impact shaking the entire arena.

It struggled to get up, only to find its wings covered in thick ice. Each flap only scraped off a few ice shards, making movement extremely difficult...

The fourfold advantage of Ice-type moves is still too severe.

That Ice Punch just now severely injured Dragonite's body, taking away most of its strength.

At this moment, Dragonite was like a fish on a chopping board, only able to breathe helplessly as Gallade approached step by step...

"Whoosh..." (Big brother, be gentle...)
Dragonite pleaded desperately.

"Ailu." (I know.)
Gallade's toes suddenly flashed with silver light, and a fierce slash landed on Dragonite!

The flying swallow returns!

boom!
The ground collapsed, and cracks spread.

Dragonite lost consciousness completely amidst the dust and smoke, its body slowly sinking to the bottom of the broken pit.

"Dragonite is unable to battle. Since all of Gym Leader Chloe's Pokémon are unable to battle, the winner is Gym Leader Li Xuan."

The referee announced the result.

"Sigh, we still lost after all."

Xiao Chun knew she couldn't beat Li Xuan.

She approached her match against Li Xuan with a learning attitude.

This is the battle that just happened...

It seems like I didn't learn anything?
Li Xuan attacked way too fast!

There was practically no command throughout the entire game; they were just completely outmaneuvered!
Thinking of this, Xiaochun's expression became somewhat resentful.

They play like it's an exhibition match against others, so why do they use their main team when it's their turn?

Not only did they use the main team, they even used the power of waveguides!
What do you mean, does he think he's a threat?

"This battle really put me to the test, Gym Leader Tsubaki. You are the first trainer in nearly a month to let me command a battle silently."

Li Xuan stepped forward and extended his hand to save face for Xiao Chun: "Also, it was your cousin who told me to use my full strength. Cough cough, don't blame me for not holding back."

"My cousin? Brother Du really said that?!"

Xiao Chun responded and looked towards Yulong Ferry.

He noticed the other person nodding at him.

"hiss!"

So, my cousin wanted Master Li Xuan to train him?

I see, I understand now!
As a trainer in the Dragon Clan, Xiaochun immediately understood her cousin's good intentions.

Brother, I understand!

I will try my best to catch up with you!

"Yes, I'm glad you understand."

Li Xuan didn't understand because this thing was made up by him.

But he knew that Xiaochun understood.

Now that Xiaochun understands, everyone is happy.

……

……

"Wow! Li Xuan, your battle just now was so cool! But why did you use wave guidance to control it?"

After the battle ended, Little Blue ran up to him, unusually attentive.

To be honest, Li Xuan is quite handsome when he's not talking.

Every time he opened his mouth, Xiao Lan really wanted to punch Li Xuan.

If only Li Xuan could stay silent forever, like a handsome mute. "I'm just a little sleepy, and I'm afraid I'll yawn when I'm giving instructions."

Li Xuan was a little embarrassed.

Most of their own gym-level Pokémon have gone to work at gyms.

I only have one or two monsters with gym-level strength.

Therefore, he went all out in this battle and sent Gallade into the fray.

Xiaolan: "..."

So you're pretending to be an expert by not saying anything because you're afraid others will realize you're sleepy?
This was the first time Xiao Lan had ever seen someone so bored during a battle with a gym leader that they wanted to fall asleep.

"There's nothing I can do. You'll understand when you get to my age."

Li Xuan reached out and made a pinching motion in the air.

Xiao Lan instinctively stepped back, but Li Xuan didn't pinch her this time.

Why aren't you pinching it?

"lazy."

"No, pinch it!"

As she spoke, Xiao Lan took the initiative to step forward, pried Li Xuan's hand off, and placed her face in his palm.

"pinch!"

"?"

Li Xuan felt a sense of bewilderment.

But I still pinched it a few times.

Xiao Lan was only satisfied when she had kneaded the skin until it turned red.

"Hmm, that's right."

"Are you a little crazy? You come up to me even when I'm not pinching you. You're addicted to pinching me, aren't you?"

Li Xuan was speechless. After squeezing, he quickly let go and found a cloth to wipe it clean.

"Tch, my face is perfectly clean, why are you so disgusted with me?"

"Something's definitely up to no good. Tell me, have you done something to wrong me?"

Li Xuan is intelligent.

In Xiao Lan's case, she is either possessed by an evil spirit or needs something from me.

Otherwise, they wouldn't do such a thing.

Otherwise it would be out of character (OOC).

Okay, I do write out-of-character (OOC) stuff quite often on weekdays too.

But this situation is even more serious than OOC!

It's like going to the reverse world!
"Hehe, you found out! Actually, I do have a little thing I need your help with...hehe~"

Xiao Lan blinked and looked at Li Xuan with a grin.

"Tell me what it is."

Li Xuan, on the contrary, breathed a sigh of relief.

I thought Xiao Lan was possessed.

Fortunately, they needed my help.

"Ahem, right... you should be able to beat the headmaster, right?"

Xiao Lan still wanted to ask Li Xuan if he was confident about the upcoming battle.

If I lose to Banmu after fighting for so long, wouldn't it be a huge loss for me to let Li Xuan pinch me today?

"I'm confident."

He already has Reshiram and Kyurem. If he still can't beat Giovanni, he might as well find a place to jump.

"Hehe, that's good~ Come, come, our esteemed host, sit on the sofa. You've had a long day~ How about I give you a massage?"

Xiao Lan pulled Li Xuan to the sofa, then massaged his shoulders and calves.

Seeing her so attentive, Li Xuan instantly understood what Xiao Lan wanted from him.

"Little Lan, don't tell me you want me to bully Uncle Liu, that old man, during the finals, right?"

Li Xuan revealed the secret in a single sentence.

"That's right... Oh no, no, how can this be bullying an old man? This is to let Grandpa Liu know how fast a new talent develops. Now it belongs to our Master Li Xuan!"

Xiao Lan massaged Li Xuan vigorously.

"Sigh, even I, Li Xuan, couldn't bring myself to bully an old person."

Li Xuan shook his head: "Okay, tell me what happened, why did you bully that old man?"

"Do you believe me?"

Little Blue blinked.

"I believe you wouldn't lie to me about something like this."

Li Xuan was willing to believe Xiao Lan.

Just like how the other party was willing to lend him Ditto back then.

"Waaaaah! Li Xuan, you have no idea what kind of life I lived before! I was separated from my parents when I was little, all because I was captured by a bird Pokémon when I was a child!"

"Later, I joined some masked organization and lived a life of hunger and irregular meals. Fortunately, I managed to run away with Silver halfway through. He stayed in Johto, and I found an opportunity to come to the Kanto region and return to Pallet Town. I also picked up one of my starter Pokémon that was willing to follow me."

"It wasn't until I arrived in Cerulean City and met you that I finally started to live a good life."

"The culprit who kidnapped me is Liu Bo. He has the power to subdue Ho-Oh and Lugia. Are you sure you can defeat him?"

Xiao Lan's explanation was a bit brief, but Li Xuan, who had watched the special episode, knew what it meant.

"some."

Li Xuan nodded.

"He's managed to tame Ho-Oh and Lugia!"

Xiao Lan offered a reminder.

She was still a little afraid that Li Xuan would lose his temper.

"I know, but I'm still confident."

Unlike Ho-Oh, Reshiram gains its boosts through its own "will".

Reshiram's current combat strength is at the level of a three-headed Kyurem. He only fought one match against Lyubo, and it wasn't a fight to the death, so his chances of winning are quite high.

Liu Bo was able to subdue Ho-Oh and Lugia purely because he had the right timing, location, and people.

If it were a one-on-one battle, it's really uncertain whether he could be tamed again.

Moreover.

Both sides possessed the combat power of a first-level god, but his side consisted of genuine first-level gods, giving them a significant advantage.

"Hmm... then don't be careless and underestimate your opponent. That old man, Uncle Liu, is really strong!"

Xiao Lan kindly reminded him, fearing that Li Xuan might really lose his temper and start hitting indiscriminately.

Of course, having known Li Xuan for so long, she knew he wouldn't cause trouble in this kind of situation.

"I know, don't worry. Just wait for my good news."

"Well, come on!"

Little Blue cheers her up and continues the massage.

"Not bad, not bad. Give me a massage here, and later I'll massage my shoulders and clean my ears."

Li Xuan thoroughly enjoyed it.

However, his gaze remained solemn.

Fight two boss-level characters at once.

It would be a lie to say I wasn't nervous.

……

……

Meanwhile, Banmu has already returned to the hotel.

He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, pondering how to deal with Li Xuan in tomorrow's battle.

Should we fight seriously, or should we fight unseriously?
A proper fight is like a solid wooden board on the ground; an improper fight is like a deadly blow.

But this situation makes it difficult to use lethal force, especially since Li Xuan has Reshiram...

Should we kill a first-level god?

That's hilarious.

"Phew... You've grown to this level in just two and a half months. Li Xuan, this is even more outrageous than Crimson or Green."

"If it weren't for our differing stances, we might have been very good friends."

"It's a pity, it's a pity."

"Due to differing stances, I must continue to remain hidden..."
