Pokémon, who made him the gym leader?

Chapter 15: The Challengers Are More Bizarre Than You Think

"Where's the challenger?"

Gushin and Irene arrived at the gym, only to find that there were no challengers.

"Hmm...they didn't come in; they said they needed to prepare."

The receptionist's pretty face looked a little strange as she gazed towards the dojo's entrance.

"?"

Gu Xin looked over at this as well.

Suddenly, a red carpet rolled over from the wide-open dojo doors.

Pink petals slowly fell, and a girl with long, light purple hair, dressed in a kimono, bowed slightly and walked gracefully step by step.

Beside the girl in the kimono, another girl was holding a flower basket and scattering flower petals one by one.

Ah this...

The receptionist and Eileen were stunned!

No, would a normal person really make an appearance like that?

Guxin stroked his chin thoughtfully.

"Nice to meet you. I am Kaoru from Girl Town."

Finally arriving in front of Gu Xin and the others, the beautiful girl named Xunzi gave a slight bow with a reserved smile, her tone gentle and pleasant.

"You're welcome. I'm Gushin, the Gym Leader of the Rota Gym."

Guxin smiled and returned the greeting.

"Shall we begin now?"

"please."

The two entered the battlefield.

The receptionist was about to walk to the stands to watch the game when she suddenly noticed loud footsteps.

Turning around, I saw the receptionist speechless.

A large group of cheerleaders rushed in through the main gate, carrying small flags and drums.

Ah this...

The receptionist was stunned again!

"Kaoru! Kaoru!! Kaoru, do your best!"

The cheerleaders came to the stands, banging drums and gongs, excitedly cheering for Xunzi.

Good guy!

Today's challenger is even more outrageous than yesterday's young master!

The receptionist, witnessing this scene, gaped, speechless for a moment.

Yesterday's Xiao Mao only had a few cheerleaders, but today's girl has more than a dozen cheerleaders!

And you brought all this equipment? You even brought a big drum?

These challengers are all incredibly bizarre!

Eileen was also stunned.

Gushin glanced at the cheerleaders on the field and couldn't help but find it amusing.

"It seems that Miss Kaoru is very charming, which is why so many people like her."

Gu Xin looked at Xunzi, who was behaving like a lady, and teased her gently with a smile.

"Please excuse my poor attempt to disturb you, Master. I hope I haven't bothered you."

Xunzi pursed her lips slightly, maintaining her reserved and elegant demeanor.

It must be said that, at least on the surface, Kaoru is a very polite and elegant young woman.

"No, the Rota Dojo will never refuse a challenger who is sincere in their desire to take on the challenge," Gushin replied with a light laugh. His handsome face and gentle tone were equally comforting.

Kaoru blinked, feeling a good impression of the gentle-natured owner.

The Rota Gym was not the first gym she challenged. When she challenged other gyms before, the gym leaders, though saying they didn't care, actually felt disgusted because of the noise her fans made while banging drums and gongs.

But the dojo master in front of him, who was about the same age as him, really didn't take him seriously.

She has such a good temper~ She must be a gentle person.

"The Gym battle with the Lota Badge as the stakes will now begin. The challenger is Kaoru from Girlstown."

"The battle rules are 2vs2, with Gym Leader Gushin going first. When both of one side's Pokémon are unable to battle, the other side wins."

"Battle begins!"

The referee announced the rules of the match and then left the arena.

"Well then, Ms. Kaoru, please allow me to formally introduce myself."

Gu Xin straightened his collar, revealing a bright and refreshing smile, and his magnetic voice slowly rang out.

"I am Gushin, the owner of this Rota Dojo. My current specialty is poison, and that is what you are about to face."

Have you ever faced a Poison-type Pokémon? Their power might not be immediately apparent, but it will give you a unique battle experience and... fear~

"Please experience it for yourself, my Poison-type Pokémon."

With a smile playing on his lips, Guxin casually tucked his left hand into his pocket while slowly playing with the Poké Ball in his right, exuding a dashing and cool air.

Although the boy's smile was still sunny and gentle, his demeanor was completely different, and his calm and confident aura was very eye-catching!

"The owner is so handsome!"

The receptionist was very excited as she looked at the calm and composed Gu Xin.

"Guxin today... is quite different."

Eileen's eyes also sparkled with admiration; she had never seen Guxin so dashing and unrestrained.

"So, are you ready, Miss Kaoru?"

Faced with the young museum owner's final question, Kaoru's eyes slowly lit up.

Although it was somewhat unexpected that such a sunny and handsome boy was actually a Poison-type trainer, Kaoru had to admit that the young gym leader's demeanor at this moment was quite stunning.

So handsome!

"please!"

Kaoru solemnly extended her hand.

"I really like confident challengers like Ms. Kaoru, so..."

Guxin threw the Poké Ball in his hand with a backhand motion.

"Crystal Sprout! Prepare for battle!"

A flash of white light appeared, like a crystalline bud of a plant floating quietly in front of Guxin.

"Huh? Is this the gym leader's new Pokémon?"

The receptionist stared in astonishment at the unfamiliar elf.

"Yes, Uncle sent it to Guxin yesterday." Eileen nodded and said. She was just surprised because she had seen the Crystal Sprout in the backyard.

"Jingguangya?"

On the field, Kaoru looked at Kyoko with a puzzled expression; she didn't recognize this elf.

"Crystal Sprout is a Pokémon from the Padilla region, and it is a Rock/Poison type."

Guxin thoughtfully introduced the Pokémon to Kaoru, since it was from another region and it was normal for Kaoru not to recognize it.

"I see. Thank you, Master. I'm sorry for my poor performance." Xunzi smoothed her hair awkwardly, her pretty face slightly flushed.

During battles, Kaoru even had to ask her opponent to introduce their Pokémon, even though the opponent was a Gym Leader, which made Kaoru blush a little.

"Please don't mind, Miss Kaoru."

Gu Xin gestured for him to enter.

Kaoru composed herself, then with a serious expression on her pretty face, she threw out her first Poké Ball.

"Go, Nidona!"

The Poké Ball opened, and a pale blue Nidorina appeared in front of Kaoru.

Resembling a porcupine and a rabbit, with red eyes and a light blue body covered in dark blue patches, it is Nidorina, the evolved form of Nidoran.

"Beep~ Nidorina, Poison-type, Poison Needle Pokémon"

Characteristic: Poison Sting

Special moves: Super Strength, Iai Slash, Poison Spikes, Wild Slash, Poison Needle, Slash, (Rocket Headbutt)

Description: When it stays deep inside its nest, it will always retract its quills, indicating that it is in a relaxed state.

"It's Nidona..."

The receptionist was a little worried because Nidorina is a poison-type!

"I'm very sorry, Gym Leader Gushin, I have a Poison-type Pokémon."

Seemingly confident of victory, Xunzi smiled slightly and spoke to Gu Xin with a playful, girlish charm.

Yes, this is completely different from her initial reserved demeanor, and this is her true nature.

"I'll get your badge!"

Poison-type Pokémon are good at Poison-type moves? I'm sorry, but as everyone knows, Poison-type Pokémon can't be poisoned!

"Oh?"

Gu Xin raised an eyebrow, looking at the girl in the kimono with a half-smile.
