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

Chapter 463 Mewtwo Has Ideas About Lugia
"Hey, uncle, you look so worried. Is something wrong? Why don't you tell me? Maybe I can help you with something."

Higana was in a great mood and thought that if possible, she might be able to help Sakaki solve some problems.

Even if it doesn't work, it's not a bad idea to tell her so she can have a laugh.

"You? Forget it, what I'm about to do isn't something an ordinary person can handle."

Sakaki is telling the truth.

"Hmm? Tell me quickly, we're strategic partners now, maybe I can really help you with something."

Higana became interested.

As a champion-level trainer and a powerful Dragon-type Pokémon trainer, surely she can help Giovanni?

“Okay. I want to do something, but there's a chance I'll run into Rashiram again. I need someone to buy me half a day, what do you think…”

"What?! You're going to cause trouble for Reshiram? Are you crazy, or what?"

Before Sakaki could finish speaking, Higana exclaimed in shock.

Trying to cause trouble for a first-level god?!

He must have lost his mind!

"hehe."

Sakaki sneered.

Xijiana then realized her lapse in composure.

After all, she was the one who first told Itagaki that she wanted to help him, and then she turned around and tried to leave, which was indeed a bit unethical.

but!

This is no reason for Itagaki to drag himself to his death!
Why would they suddenly start a fight with Rashiram?!

What exactly are you trying to do, Giovanni?!

"Heh, Higanbana, you should think about your own affairs. If I remember correctly, you wanted to take on Rayquaza, the first-tier god of your region, right? You do have champion-level strength, but against a third-tier god like this..."

Sakaki said all he wanted to say.

"It's none of your business. Anyway, all you have to do is help me deal with Team Magma and Team Aqua."

Higana crossed her arms over her chest, clearly not taking Sakaki's words to heart.

"Okay, I'll just help you deal with the leaders of those two teams. I'll leave once I'm done."

Giovanni knew that there were many champion-level trainers in the Hoenn region.

and so.

He won't stay there for long.

To avoid being attacked by the masses.

"I know. See you then."

"Okay, see you then."

The two ended the video call.

Sakaki has dropped his disguise again.

Then, I started thinking about what to do next when I went to the Hoenn region.

"Hmm... let's call Mewtwo back..."

Giovanni felt it was time to call for Mewtwo.

I wonder how strong Mewtwo is now with Akroma's help.

……

……

In the blink of an eye, a week has passed.

"Scallion drink." (Are you leaving now? Won't you stay a few more days?)

Cong Youbing was somewhat reluctant to part with Li Xuan.

"Sigh, there's no way around it. The Indigo League has already reached the semi-finals, so I have to go and watch it live. After the Indigo League ends, I'll have to battle the winner. After that, I'll take a plane to the Hoenn region."

Li Xuan counted on his fingers.

I've discovered that my schedule is a bit packed.

"Oh, I see... Take good care of yourself. We'll be waiting for you to come back."
Onion Soldier is currently working as a master bricklayer, but unfortunately he hasn't had the chance to go to the Hoenn region with Li Xuan.

The main reason is that I don't want to go out.

Otherwise, I would have really gone out with Li Xuan.

"Well, I'll chat with you guys in detail later."

Li Xuan waved his hand, put his arm around Natsumi's shoulder, and rode away on Reshiram's back.

……

……

Kanto region, Quartz Plateau.

The semifinals have begun as scheduled.

The first half was Blue vs. Gary, and the second half was Ash vs. Royal Mask.

As expected, the second half of the game will be a test of how the first half went.
"Brother Crimson and Brother Green are both here."

Li Xuan was a little surprised.

Crimson is normal, but I didn't expect cyan to appear as well.

"Well, it's the semi-finals after all, so we should come and take a look."

Qinglu sat in the VIP section, looking down at the battle below.

to be frank.

He didn't want to come.

He wouldn't have come if his father hadn't asked him to.

It's just a baby cup, not a Four Heavenly Kings challenge.

For his brother, reaching the semi-finals is already quite an achievement.

"Brother Li Xuan, who do you think will win this battle?"

Qinglu didn't know much about Xiaolan's strength, and she wasn't very optimistic about her younger brother's situation either.

"It's hard to say. I feel that the two are evenly matched. In a six-on-six situation, it depends on who can find the opponent's weakness first."

Li Xuan didn't know what to say either.

"Yeah, that's what I think too. Hopefully, this brat can perform exceptionally well."

Green is not something I can afford to hope for.

As long as Xiao Mao can pull off a move that surprises him.

The battle begins.

Blue team fielded Fat Boy as their starting lineup.

Normal, fairy, only weak to poison and steel.

Gary sent out Nidoking, which has poison and ground-type attributes.

In the first battle, Shigeru had the upper hand.

Xiao Lan made a quick decision and chose to change her Pokémon.

"Little Fatty, come back here first! Blastoise, Surf!"

Blue sent out Blastoise, the starter Pokémon he had picked up.

After taking a hit from Nidoking's Earthquake, Blastoise successfully unleashed its Surf move.

The towering waves surged in and engulfed Nidoking, but Blue was surprised to find that they had not caused him any damage.

However, an energy shield appeared.

Hold on!

Seeing this, Xiao Lan ordered Blastoise to use Water Tail at close range, slashing down with its tail.

Faced with this attack, Nidoking's fists crackled with electricity as he charged towards Blastoise!

Boom boom! ! !

Both attacks hit their targets, but Nidoking suffered more damage.

It was panting heavily, and venom was oozing from the single horn on its head. Suddenly, it thrust out!

Poison Strike!
"Wow, it didn't stop after being hurt by Aqua Tail, but instead endured the pain and used Poison Jet. Gary has raised this Nidoking quite well."

Li Xuan offered his own comments.

"Xiao Lan's Blastoise is one of the better ones among its kind. You can tell that she takes good care of it."

Qinglv followed up with her comments.

Both sides only mentioned people related to the other.

As for their own?
Forget it.

Not to mention.

crimson:"……"

Ultimately, in this back-and-forth battle...

Blastoise successfully defeated Nidoking.

However, this also consumed a lot of energy. Shigeru sent out Exeggutor as the second one.

He started with a Leaf Blade, but was instantly frozen by Blastoise's Ice Beam.

Despite having the advantage, Shigeru found himself at a disadvantage.

"Don't panic. Exeggutor, keep your spirits up!"

After roughly assessing Blastoise's strength, Gary prepared to use a psychic move suitable for low to mid-level matches!
The eyes of the coconut palm tree glow blue.

The intense superpower surged forth like a raging sea, binding Blastoise and flinging it around wildly.

It highlights his irritability.

Blue frowned. With her Blastoise abilities, there wasn't a good way to both break through the psychic powers and get close to Exeggutor at the same time.

Simply.

She recalled Blastoise and sent out Jigglypuff again.

"Little Fatty, use big characters to explode!"

Fatdog blinked, and a huge fireball shaped like the Chinese character "大" shot out, gradually scorching the ground along its path and even distorting the air.

The power is good.

Seeing this, the Exeggutor also retaliated with "spiritual power".

After controlling the explosive flames, just as he was about to throw it back, he felt a chill creeping over him!
A biting, cold wind howled.

It was an ice-type blizzard!

Xiaomao:?
It must be said that Pokémon with normal types have a wide coverage.

Almost any type of move can be incorporated into this.

The battle was back and forth. Although it was called a baby battle, it had already reached the semi-finals. The strength of both sides was enough to compete with the main force of a normal gymnastics team.

finally.

Blue used rooting, parasitic seeds, substitutes, and poison to finally wear down Blue's ace Blastoise.

See to the end.

Li Xuan, Qinglu, and Chihong could only say: "..."

Little Blue, what turned you into this?

"Little Gary, it's great to battle you! This is the first time we've used this tactic, otherwise we really wouldn't have been able to beat your Blastoise! ​​Hehe~"

Xiao Lan smoothed her hair and winked at Xiao Mao.

Xiao Mao: (▼Benefit▼)
Damn woman!
Let me calm down a bit more, then I'll definitely get my revenge!

"Master Li Xuan, how about I discuss something with you?"

At the end of the first half, Qinglu, who had been silent for a long time, finally looked at Li Xuan and slowly spoke.

"What?"

Li Xuan turned his head, and it was the first time he had seen Qinglu so solemn.

"After a while, around the time you've finished your trip to the Hoenn region and returned from the Unova region, how about letting Gary train with you for a while?"

Qinglu wanted to hand Xiaomao over to Li Xuan for training.

Initially, he wanted to call Xiao Mao to train with his master, Ah Si from the Azure Dojo.

"Huh? Let Xiao Mao train with me? It seems that my tactics and training methods are not suitable for Xiao Mao. I feel that I might lead him astray."

Li Xuan pondered the compatibility of his own tactics with Xiao Mao's.

Even among the Pokémon he has caught, it seems that very few are the same as those he has caught.

On the contrary, there are some overlaps between him and Ash.

“I also want Zhi to spend some time with you to settle down.”

Crimson also had this idea.

"Um……"

Li Xuan pondered for a moment.

If you let him take it, there shouldn't be any problem.

I'll have time then.

but.

I'm afraid something else might happen that would prevent me from giving Ash and Gary more guidance.

Moreover.

Red and Blue are both legendary-level trainers in battle. If we're talking about guidance, it would be better to let them guide each other themselves, right?
Seemingly sensing Li Xuan's thoughts, Qinglu said, "Our path is not suitable for them. Moreover, this path cannot be replicated; no second person can copy it step by step."

"Your path is all-encompassing, and I see the shadows of many people in it. If Ash and Gary could learn from you for a while, I think their progress would be much faster."

"All-encompassing? Me?"

Li Xuan pointed to himself.

It seems that his training was all done haphazardly.

It was fine before; he would give guidance early in the morning on weekdays.

We're either on the road or in the process of traveling, and everything depends on the system.

"That's right, your path is all-encompassing. Even I have gained some insights from watching your battles."

The verdant green seems to reveal true feelings.

Li Xuan remained lost in thought.

"Hmm... that's fine. Then leave them with me for a month."

If Li Xuan remembers correctly.

Ash and Gary are probably planning to take a break before heading to the Johto region to challenge the Silver Conference.

With plenty of free time, Gary had even more free time, except for Ash who went to the Orange Islands to do some work.

Anyway, Crimson and Green have spent a lot of money on themselves.

Li Xuan was worried about how to repay Crimson and Green, so he decided to offer some guidance during this time.

"I'll have to trouble you then."

The crimson-red mouth opened in thanks.

The decision was made to wait until Li Xuan's next live stream before the entire annual governor was revealed.

"fine."

Li Xuan shook his head, seemingly unconcerned.

……

……

Kanto region, Orange Islands.

"Itagaki, what brings you to me at this hour?"

At Team Rocket's new base in the Orange Islands, Mewtwo has already met with Dr. Nanpo, accompanied by Acromantha.

Just as we were about to discuss what to do next, Isamu suddenly called to ask about the situation.

"Mewtwo, come with me to the Hoenn region in a while, there's something I need to take care of."

Sakaki's voice came from the other end of the phone.

Mewtwo remained silent, then asked, "What are you going to do this time? Aren't you afraid of being discovered by the local league?"

These days, Mewtwo knows everything Giovanni has been doing.

They were afraid that Giovanni might do something that the league might accidentally catch him doing.

"That's why I asked you to come along this time. What, weren't you determined to turn your life around? This might give you a chance to understand what it means to turn your life around. Even after I say that, you still won't come with me?"

"Hehe. I'm going."

"Great, I knew you'd come with me. I'll call you again in a while."

After saying that, Sakaki hung up the phone.

"Mewtwo Master, this is the recent ocean current monitoring data for the Orange Islands." Dr. Nanbo quickly approached and presented the data. "Based on the current trend, our plan to capture a Level 1 God will soon be able to be implemented."

Chao Meng took the report and carefully reviewed it. The charts clearly showed that the ocean current trajectory was forming a special spiral structure.

but.

Mewtwo couldn't understand what was written on it.

I just know it's very mysterious.

That's all.

At this moment, Akroma strolled over and lightly tapped the ocean current map on the report with his fingertip: "Look at the curvature changes of this trajectory. It's completely different from naturally formed ocean currents; its hydrodynamic characteristics clearly show traces of bioenergy intervention."

"To possess such power, only Kyogre, the first-tier god of the Hoenn region, and Lugia, the first-tier god of the Johto region, can do it."

"Moreover, Lugia is a Pokémon that frequently appears in front of humans. I don't think any other Pokémon can do that."

"So, what are your thoughts on the plan to subdue Lugia?"

Mewtwo looked at the two scientists.

"Hmm. If possible, I think it would be better to catch them directly with a Poké Ball. But, it seems that there's no way to do that with regular Poké Balls available on the market."

"What about this?"

After saying that, Mewtwo took out a Poké Ball.
