Pokémon, who made him the gym leader?

Chapter 38 is right, come work at my dojo!

Upon hearing Crimson's words, Little Blue truly couldn't move her feet.

Her two legs are about to fight! How can she leave!

On Guxin's side, Eileen looked at Crimson with some surprise. This young man really had a big heart.

They've only just returned to Kurenai City, and they're already launching a challenge?

"Stake the badge?"

Gu Xin wasn't too surprised and asked in return with a smile.

In reality, the Saint-Antoine incident didn't have much of an impact on him, and I believe the same is true for Crimson.

His crimson eyes shone brightly as he nodded.

Gu Xin couldn't help but chuckle upon seeing this.

"A qualified gym leader will not refuse any trainer's challenge. In that case, Red."

"I accept your challenge as the Gym Leader of Rota City."

Gu Xin looked directly into the boy's crimson eyes, his words clear and distinct.

Yes, as a gym leader, he has an obligation to accept any challenger's challenge, even if he is not currently inside the Rota Gym.

A faint, almost imperceptible, upturn appeared at the corners of her bright red lips.

"Yay!! Your duel is on! I'll be the referee! Where shall we go for our match?"

Xiao Lan let out a wail, seemingly even more agitated than the two people involved.

"May I borrow Miss Joey's battlefield?"

Guxin said that, in fact, every Pokémon Center has a training ground in its backyard.

It can be used by trainers who come to the Pokémon Center for rest and special training.

"Okay! I'll go ask!"

Xiao Lan was very proactive and immediately ran to the front desk.

"Miss Joey~ Two of my friends would like to borrow the backyard battle arena for a match, is that alright?"

Little Blue opened her big, watery eyes and spoke to Miss Joey in a sweet, coquettish voice.

"Hmm~ Sure, do you need me to arrange a referee for you?"

Miss Joey, with her long pink hair, replied softly with a gentle smile on her beautiful face.

Actually, she was extremely busy at the moment because the Saint-Tiannu was docked. Although many of the injured Pokémon among the passengers on board were sent to the Pokémon Hospital, many others were sent to the Pokémon Center.

"No need, thank you, Miss Joey."

"You're welcome~"

Blue thanked Miss Joey, then turned to Guxin and Crimson, giving them an OK sign.

The backyard of the Pokémon Center.

Guxin and his companions arrived here. As a rest and treatment station specially set up by the Pokémon League for travelers, Pokémon Centers are located in almost every region, city, town, and village.

The facilities are complete, as is the battle arena, where trainers are currently undergoing special training.

They chose an unoccupied spot, and Guxin and Chihong stood at opposite ends.

Meanwhile, Eileen and the trio of Ash who rushed over upon hearing the news were standing on the sidelines as spectators.

"Go, Akagi!! Pikachu, you shout too~"

"Pikachu!"

Ash enthusiastically cheered for his beloved brother and forced his electric mouse to start operating.

Pikachu rolled its eyes before letting out a howl.

"Xiaogang, who do you think will win?" Xiaoxia was extremely curious about the match between the two.

"It must be Brother Chi!"

"Families of the combatants, please shut up!"

Xiaoxia glared at Xiaozhi, who shrank back, still haunted by Xiaoxia's violent tendencies.

"The battle between Gushin and Crimson..."

Xiao Gang looked at the two people standing apart, squinted his eyes, and pondered for a while.

"Actually, if it were before, I would definitely have thought that Crimson would win. You may not know, but I have never seen such an outrageous rookie trainer."

Xiao Gang looked at the boy with pure red eyes wearing a hat and sighed with emotion.

"He possesses such striking qualities; the absolute sincerity he displays during Crimson Battles is something I've never seen before. He's simply a born trainer!"

Xiao Gang's evaluation of Crimson was surprisingly high, but it was precisely because he had fought against Crimson that he believed he was qualified to say such things.

Only those who truly love Pokémon, love battling, and enjoy battling will possess this quality, that passion for fighting!

Xiao Gang had a deep impression of this. Before Red, there was another trainer from Pallet Town who also crushed him and took his badge.

The boy's elf strength was far beyond that of a newcomer, and the boy's inherent arrogance and unruliness left a deep impression on him.

But that boy was completely different from Crimson.

Brock was convinced that this sincerity towards battle, coupled with Crimson's monstrous talent, would definitely create a terrifying trainer.

"Rota Gym... I'm sorry, but I remember it didn't have a good reputation before, right, Miss Irene?" Brock looked at Irene thoughtfully, trying his best to make sure his words weren't harsh.

"Yes, just over two weeks ago, the Rota Gym was considered one of the weakest gyms in Kanto."

Eileen spoke softly and gently.

I was right.

Brock nodded. He remembered it that way, because Rota Street wasn't far from Pewter City, so he had seen the Rota Gym's reviews on the Kanto League website.

"Huh? But Guxin is very strong."

Xiao Zhi was taken aback when he heard this.

"The Lota Gym was left to Gushin by his uncle. Actually, Gushin had just graduated from the Pokémon Academy at that time."

Eileen shook her head.

"At that time, Guxin only had the newly acquired Leaf Cat and a few friendly Pokémon in his backyard to use as his handheld Pokémon."

"During that period, no matter who the challenger was, Gushin was unable to win, and the dojo's reputation gradually declined."

"No matter how hard Gushin tries, he can't win."

As Guxin's companion, Eileen witnessed that period firsthand, and her tone became somewhat somber as she spoke of it.

"..."

Ash and Brock remained silent, while Misty's eyes held a complex expression, as if she could completely empathize with him.

Why did she leave the Cerulean Gym in a huff? It was because she wanted to travel and gain experience.

Her sisters don't have the talent of trainers. Although they have made Cerulean Dojo quite popular with their synchronized swimming, it is a dojo, not a dance studio!

When challengers came to take on the challenge, the sisters were completely unable to cope, and some challengers even mocked that the badge was practically a freebie.

What an insult this is to a dojo whose main purpose is to train and challenge its members!

So Xiaoxia came out to train so that she could become stronger and then go back to revitalize the Cerulean Dojo.

"About half a month ago, Guxin seemed to have an epiphany, and he has now become... very strong."

He told me.

Eileen looked at the tall and upright Guxin in the arena, her eyes seemingly filled with a gentle light.

"He will make the Rota Gym the strongest gym in Kanto!"

Eileen's lips curled up slightly, a smile of happiness for him.

Xiao Zhi blinked, Xiao Gang seemed thoughtful, while Xiao Xia was somewhat stunned.

How should I put it? All three of them were quite moved at that moment.

On the field.

"Then let's begin the battle wagered on the Rota Badge! The challenger is Crimson from Pallet Town."

"The battle rules are 4vs4. The challenge is lost when all four of the challenger's Pokémon are unable to battle."

"Battle begins!"

Xiao Lan raised a small flag and clearly announced the rules of the battle, which Gu Xin had just told her.

"Well said. If you're interested, you can apply to be a referee at my dojo."

Gu Xin clapped his hands, not holding back his praise for Xiao Lan.

"Hmph~ That's right, how much are you willing to pay me to work for you?"

Little Blue stood with her hands on her hips, looking quite proud.

"I'm a super-rich second-generation heir." Gu Xin couldn't help but laugh. Sorry, money was just a number to him.

"Really?" Xiao Lan was very skeptical of the truth.

"My dad is the largest shareholder of Silver Corporation, what do you think?" Guxin shrugged, inadvertently showing off his wealth.

"I'm pretty!" Xiao Lan was taken aback when she heard this, and then blurted out sweet words without thinking.

Wait, isn't Gushin a gym leader? Is he really a rich kid?

"Huh?" Xiaoxia and Xiaogang were also surprised, while Xiaozhi was confused but impressed.

Crimson remained silent, staring at Little Blue with eyes that had suddenly become sharp. Why hadn't this woman left yet?

"Let's talk about this later, now is battle time."

Seeing Xiao Lan's eyes light up as if she were about to pounce on him and use her pickpocketing skills, Gu Xin smiled and spoke.

Xiao Lan blinked, and then wisely withdrew from the battlefield.

crimson)

"Sorry to keep you waiting, Akane."

Gu Xin smiled as he looked at the red-eyed boy opposite him.

"Before the match, let me give a formal self-introduction."

"My name is Gushin, and I am the gym leader of the Rota Dojo."

Gu Xin slowly straightened his collar, his movements casual yet inexplicably free and unrestrained.

"My current preferred type is Poison. Have you ever battled against a Poison-type Pokémon?"

"Poison will leave you feeling lost and helpless!"

Guxin's lips slowly curved into a smile as he took out a shrunken Poké Ball, which spun nimbly between his fingertips.

"Absolute power isn't everything. Now you'll experience firsthand how terrifying and horrifying Poison-type Pokémon can be!"

Faced with Guxin's declaration, his crimson eyes shone even brighter.

"bring it on!"

Crimson pulled his hat brim down slightly, the shadow of which obscured his burning crimson eyes, and he gripped his elf tightly in his right hand.

He couldn't wait!

Trainer Red has come to challenge us!
