Pokémon, who made him the gym leader?

Chapter 91: A Few Things About Me and the Rota Dojo

Guxin was a little confused when he saw the tag message from his boss, Officer Jenny.

But then...

Officer Jenny: My subordinates received some information that you accepted a challenge from a rookie trainer this afternoon using the legendary Articuno... (embarrassed.jpg)

Officer Jenny: Gym Leader Gushin, I understand that we all have bad days, but as a Gym Leader, you can't take your frustrations out on your challengers! They're still kids! (earnestly admonishing.jpg)

Rota Dojo - Gushin: ...

Cerulean Gym - Cherry Blossoms: (—)

Viridian Gym - Giovanni: As expected of Gym Leader Gushin~ (clapping.jpg)

Pyrenees Gym - Martial Arts: Guxin caught Articuno? Wow, that's awesome! (Awesome.jpg)

Vermilion City Gym - Lt. Surge: Hahaha~ Wow, Gym Leader Gushin, you're amazing! Using Articuno against a newbie, you're even more ruthless than me, hahaha~ (666.jpg)

Rainbow Gym - Rika: Mio-neechan, I think Gushin must have a reason for doing that. Gushin isn't like that! And Gushin, you actually caught Articuno? That's amazing! (Admiration.jpg)

Saffron Dojo - Sabrina: (Thinking.jpg)

Officer Jenny: Stop making a scene! Gym Leader Gushin, I hope you won't do this again. Although the League doesn't object to Gym Leaders using their main force to deal with challengers, using Articuno to fight a newcomer is really going too far.

Rota Dojo - Gushin: Mio-san, I think I can explain...

Gu Xin was a little helpless. Even in his previous life, apart from when he was in school, he had never been singled out by his superiors.

Then Gu Xin took the initiative to call Mio, since Mio was the leader of these dojo owners. After telling Mio about the new features of his dojo, Mio fell into deep thought.

"This feature... is quite good." Officer Jenny paused for a moment, then spoke in a rather strange tone.

It has to be said that this feature of letting challengers spin the wheel themselves and then fight against teams of the corresponding attribute is really quite good.

Not only can it test the challenger's ability to adapt to changing circumstances, but it can also leave a deep impression on the challenger. Even if the challenge is repeated, the challenger can learn new combat strategies and the impression will be profound enough.

This can increase the popularity of the Kanto region. You know, many trainers from other regions come to Kanto for travel. The Rota Gym, with its unique characteristics, is a great choice!

"But Gym Leader Guxin, I think you could modify that 'Easter egg' a bit. What if it really is a complete newbie who gets it? You can't exactly use Articuno to battle someone's Caterpie, can you?" Officer Jenny said helplessly.

If a new trainer has a strong mental fortitude, that's fine. But if they don't have a good mindset, they might shatter their resolve and never want to be a trainer again.

"I'll be careful," Guxin replied with a smile.

"Okay, then it's all settled. The Inspectorate will support you, Master Guxin." Officer Mio acted swiftly and decisively, naturally supporting Guxin after understanding the situation.

There's no reason not to support it, and it doesn't violate the gym's rules and discipline. Moreover, this distinctive feature makes Officer Jenny somewhat look forward to the future development of the Rota Gym.

After ending his call with Officer Jenny, Guxin continued to ponder the team composition for the next phase.

Inside the dojo, Mizuki and her younger sister were engrossed in reading the posts on the League forum.

The post is titled "A Few Things About Me and the Rota Dojo," and it's quite popular right now. I just stumbled upon it by chance.

"I am a trainer currently challenging a gym. My real name is not worth mentioning. I currently have six gym badges, so my strength is not bad."

"Then, about last month, I happened to come across a notice board on Rota Street and realized that there was a gym there."

"Upholding the principles of a trainer, I couldn't miss the gym, little did I know this would be the beginning of my nightmare. (Tears welling up.jpg)"

"The Gym Leader of Rota City is named Gushin, yes, the hero reported in the Saint Teanu Incident League. He has a sunny and clean appearance, but his Pokémon are dark and evil! You probably can't imagine what I experienced when I first faced that devilish Pokémon called Goodball! It was hell!"

That battle had a tremendous impact on my world of trainers; I never knew Poison-type Pokémon could be so terrifying!

"However, I consider myself a person of unwavering perseverance; I get up wherever I fall, and I challenged myself five more times!"

"My growth has been remarkable; even Master Guxin praised my progress. Although I'm a little embarrassed, I was truly happy to be praised by Master Guxin. (shy.jpg)"

"Even so, I cannot accept falling in the same place five times! (P.S.: Actually, after the fifth battle, Gym Leader Gushin was willing to give me the badge, but I refused! I did not defeat Gym Leader Gushin; how could a man of seven feet accept such a condescending badge?)"

"This afternoon, I challenged Gym Leader Gushin again, but to my utter surprise, she used a roulette wheel system! My carefully prepared tactics and team against Poison-type attacks were completely useless!"

"Lota Gym! You deserve to die! How could you do this?! This is my winning team that I've been preparing for a month and a half! Waaaaah..."

That's all. It's clear that the author of this post is a bit overwhelmed and probably needs a couple of hours to recover.

Emmm...

The younger sister and Meiyue exchanged a glance, both noticing the strangeness in each other's expressions; they vaguely remembered something from that time.

In the afternoon, there was indeed a familiar-looking four-eyed challenger, who was very polite, but he drew a Dark-type team and ended up running out of the gym with red eyes, leaving behind the words, "I will definitely come back."

"Quick, check the comments." Meiyue urged her younger sister, who immediately scrolled down to the comments section.

"As one of the victims of the Rota Dojo, hugs~"

"Damn! Bro, you're really stubborn. I fought that heretical dojo once and I never want to go back a second time."

"Master Gushin is willing to give you a badge? Really? You're not kidding, are you?"

"Thumbs up! Although the challenge was a bit tough, Gym Leader Guxin is very responsible. Most importantly, Gym Leader Guxin is really handsome! (blushing.jpg)"

"I'm also planning to challenge the Lota Gym for the second time, but what's the mechanism of that spinning wheel?"

"Wow, so many fellow sufferers! I've finally found my tribe! I'm going to get that toxic gym badge no matter what!"

The post had only been published for a little over half an hour, but it already had a high number of replies.

Some trainers have actually taken on the challenge, but there are also many casual observers who are just watching from the sidelines, and the hype is growing very quickly.

The roulette mechanism of the Rota Dojo gradually spread.

"I feel like there will probably be more and more gym challengers coming up," the little girl said, blinking and tilting her head.

Because under this post, many challengers who have challenged the Rota Gym are discussing and sharing their experiences, and interested random trainers have also joined in.

The popularity of Rota Dojo and the roulette mechanism is rapidly increasing.

Two days have passed in the blink of an eye.

"Hmph hmph hmph~ Rota Street, this young master is back again!"

At the notice board on Rota Street, the spiky-haired boy stylishly stopped his bicycle, casually smoothed his bangs, and looked at the town before him with an air of arrogance.

It was Xiao Mao.

"This time, I will take back everything I've lost!"

Xiao Mao parked the car, his face resolute.

Once or twice is acceptable, but not a third time! That's right, things shouldn't happen more than three times. He, the grandson of Shigeru Oki and Yukinari Oki, has already stumbled twice here.

Is this reasonable? It's not reasonable at all!

He has a winning strategy, and he will definitely win this time!

"Little Mao, Little Mao is so handsome~"

"Xiao Mao is the best!"

"Young Master Mao, so determined, is so charming!"

Behind Xiao Mao, the cheerleaders, who had also parked their bicycles, looked on with infatuation.

"Hmph~ My dear girlfriends, let's go! Destination: Rota Road... Wait a minute."

Xiao Mao proudly raised his chin, displaying a remarkable youthful spirit. However, his cool demeanor lasted only two seconds before he saw his phone ringing, and Xiao Mao immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

Xiao Mao gestured for his girlfriends to be quiet before answering the phone.

"Feed? Brother Green..."

"Mao~"

A lazy, youthful voice reached Xiao Mao's ears, its tone slow and casual.

"How many badges have you gotten so far?"

"Ahem, three badges."

"Huh? What did you say?"

The green-clad question was deafening, leaving Xiao Mao speechless.

"If I remember correctly, you had three badges a little over a month ago, right, Mao?" Qinglu asked casually. This brat of a brother, away on a trip, was so lazy.

It seems it's because we haven't had face-to-face instruction for too long.

"Brother Green, there's a reason for this..." Xiao Mao's face turned a little pale, but he forced himself to reply.

Well, because he's been thinking about how to challenge the Lota Gym for the past month or so, focusing entirely on preparing tactics and training Pokémon, he really hasn't had time to challenge other gyms.

"I've been challenging the Rota Gym lately, Green Bro. Once I get this badge, all the other badges will be nothing!" Gary said with a firm and powerful tone.

"Oh? Rota Dojo?" Green fell into deep thought.

"Yes, Green Bro, this gym is very challenging, but I already have a winning strategy!"

"How many times have you tried?"

"twice……"

"You failed the challenge twice. Don't tell anyone you're my brother when you go out," Qinglu said disdainfully.

Xiaomao: "..."

"Perfect timing! I just got the Viridian Dojo badge. Wait for me, I'll go with you and see how good you are now," Green said lazily.

"Brother Green, I think..." Xiao Mao said with a bitter face. He didn't want to be supervised by his own brother, and he would inevitably be scolded by this devilish brother after they met.

"I don't care what you think. I've already got eight official badges. Mao, let me show you how to get them."

Qinglu grinned, revealing a smug and arrogant smile.

Gym badges? Heh~ Aren't they something you can just get anytime?
