Pokémon, who made him the gym leader?

Chapter 24 The Curator's Standard Features: The Beautiful Moon of the Sun and Moon

"The handsome Guxin Gym Leader will be away training for the next two days. Trainers who wish to challenge this gym, please come back in two days."

Friendly reminder: If you encounter a wild Gushin Gym Leader in the wild, there's a chance they'll accept your challenge—see the Rota City Gym bulletin board.

"Brother Master, is this alright?"

The receptionist, sporting cute pigtails, grinned and showed off her work to Gu Xin after finishing writing on the notice board.

"Very good, little sister, your handwriting is very beautiful."

Gu Xin praised her, saying, "Little sister's handwriting is very delicate; it is indeed very beautiful."

"Hehe~ But Gym Leader, is this really okay? I don't think I've ever heard of any gyms having holidays except during the Indigo League..."

The receptionist was delighted when the owner praised her, but then a hint of worry appeared on her delicate, youthful face.

"What if a challenger reports our dojo for not doing its proper business?"

"It's alright. Even gym leaders need rest. Besides, I'm training, not on vacation."

Guxin calmly said, "Logically speaking, as Little Sister said, the gym leader only has time to rest during the Indigo League, which is 365 days a year."

This is mainly because once the Indigo League starts, not many people will challenge gyms to get badges. Since the competition has already begun, why bother getting badges?

However, as a good museum owner in the new era, Gu Xin felt that he still needed to give himself a break.

Working year-round without a break is not advisable; at least you should have a two-day weekend every week to relax and unwind.

Moreover, one can take advantage of this weekend to go out and experience the world's adventurous travel atmosphere. Gu Xin also has something to say: he is going out to train himself!

Who says that guild leaders don't need to improve? These days, the competition among guild leaders is so fierce. They not only have to face the infighting from their peers and the pressure from public opinion from challengers, but they also have to deal with the supervision of the alliance.

Who knows, one day a pink-haired inspector with a red airplane might come down for a tour and shut down your gym, right? (In the anime, the gym inspector in Kanto was a Nurse Joy with Latias... It just goes to show how murky the Nurse Joy family is; they have all sorts of weirdos and monsters.)

Therefore, Gu Xin also needs to diligently cultivate himself in order to improve!

"This is a very normal thing. How can I become stronger if I don't train? How can I better deal with challengers if I don't become stronger? Now the public opinion about our dojo is starting to improve little by little."

"Many powerful trainers may come to challenge me, so I need to improve as well."

Gu Xin said in a serious tone, without blushing or skipping a beat.

Besides, Gushin, who has read the original story, knows the gym leader's "character" all too well. Isn't "disappearing" at the drop of a hat a standard feature of gym leaders?

He simply blended in.

"Mmm~! I believe the owner can definitely do it!" The receptionist nodded her head vigorously, her twin ponytails bouncing.

"Very good, go home now, remember to come to the dojo in a couple of days."

"Yay!"

The younger sister was clearly quite happy to get two days off, and she could have some fun.

"By the way, dojo master, are you still hiring at the dojo?"

"Hmm? Do you have anyone you recommend?"

Guxin glanced at the time; Eileen hadn't arrived yet.

"Yes, I have a sister who is very interested in becoming a trainer, and she's a really nice person."

"Brother Dojo Master, you're so amazing, can she come to the dojo as an apprentice?"

The receptionist looked at Guxin with some anticipation, though she herself had no interest in becoming a trainer.

Although trainer travel is popular in this world, not everyone wants to become a trainer, because becoming a trainer also requires certain foundations.

The reason why the younger sister became the receptionist at the Rota Dojo was because her family was not well-off. After Guxin met her by chance, he took the initiative to ask her to be the receptionist.

It was a small act of help, perhaps out of personal motives, which is why the receptionist was always very grateful to Gu Xin.

"Sure, since it's your recommendation, little sister, then bring it over in a couple of days," Gu Xin said with a smile after a moment's thought.

"Great! Don't worry, Master, Meiyue is different from me. She's really amazing! She could easily recite the attribute counter chart when she was little!" The little girl was very excited.

"Mizuki?"

Upon hearing this name, Gu Xin was taken aback. Mei Yue? This name…

"Hey? Brother Guild Master, look, Mizuki's here! Mizuki~!"

The receptionist seemed to notice something out of the corner of her eye, her eyes lit up, and she waved vigorously in that direction.

Gu Xin turned around and saw a slender, black-haired girl with a fair and innocent face that had a touch of childishness. She wore a yellow printed shirt and green shorts, revealing two straight and shapely legs.

She looked to be only about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a pure and flawless girlish charm.

Upon hearing her younger sister's voice, Meiyue quickened her pace and jogged over.

This……

Gu Xin looked at Mei Yue with a slight flicker in his eyes. Was this a coincidence of fate?

"Little sister." Meiyue smiled sweetly and cleanly, clearly happy to see her childhood friend.

"Mizuki~ It's been a long time! Oh right, this is the Gym Leader, the Gym Leader of this Rota Dojo."

The younger sister hugged her best friend tightly, and then hurriedly introduced Gu Xin to Mei Yue.

"Brother Master, this is Mizuki, my neighbor, the one I just told you about."

"Hello, Master Gu Xin."

Meiyue was very polite, bowing slightly to Guxin, her clear and clean eyes filled with curiosity as she secretly glanced at him.

Mizuki was genuinely curious about the Rota Gym Leader that the sisters had mentioned.

"Hello, no need to be so formal. Since you're my little sister's friend, you can call me brother just like she does."

Gu Xin's warm and gentle voice makes it easy for people to let go of any sense of unfamiliarity.

"I just heard it from my little sister, Mizuki. You want to become a trainer, right? How old are you now?"

"I'm fifteen years old now, and I'll be sixteen in five months."

Mizuki replied obediently.

"Then it will be close to the end of the year before we can set off on our trip." Guxin nodded; no wonder she was still in Kanto.

"Would you like to join the Lota Gym? I may not be a famous trainer, but I'll do my best to teach you."

Guxin smiled.

"Thank you, Gym Leader, I'm willing." Mizuki was pleasantly surprised. Becoming an apprentice at a gym would be a rare experience for any trainer who hadn't yet made their debut.

Her dream is to become a female champion!

Not to mention her best friend was desperately trying to signal to her.

"Yay~ Mizuki can stay with me every day from now on!"

The little girl was so happy that she jumped up and down with joy.

"Then come to the dojo with your little sister in a couple of days to report for duty," Gu Xin chuckled.

"Okay~"

"Sister Eileen is here, so Brother Curator, Meiyue and I will be leaving now."

"Go."

Gu Xin watched the two girls skip away, chatting and laughing, and he was still somewhat moved.

"What's wrong? Is that your little sister's friend?"

Eileen walked over to Guxin and noticed that Guxin's expression was somewhat unusual.

"Hmm, a very promising trainer, what a coincidence~"

Thinking about this, Gu Xin couldn't help but marvel at the coincidence of fate.

He actually knew that Mizuki was from Kanto, but she had moved to Alola with her mother at the start of the game.

However, the original work never explained where in Kanto Mizuki was from; it turns out she was from Rota Street.

"Very promising?" Eileen was somewhat surprised. The word "very" was thought-provoking, especially since it came from Guxin's mouth.

"Hmm, this is a monster~" Gu Xin glanced at Mizuki's back, who hadn't completely gone away yet.

The "monster" that Guxin refers to is, of course, a compliment.

This is a genius whose talent is no less than that of monsters like Crimson and Cyan!

Who would have thought?

This seemingly innocent girl not only single-handedly crushed Team Rainbow Rocket, the strongest evil organization that crossed parallel worlds, in the game, but also defeated Necrozma, the "strongest legendary Pokémon," three times, and captured it.

"let's go."

Guxin stopped thinking about it. Regardless of whether the real-world Mizuki possessed the same talent as in the game, she had now become the first apprentice at the Rota Dojo.

I'll give her some good guidance. Tsk~ Maybe the trainers who leave the Lota Gym in the future will shock the trainer world?
