Pokémon, who made him the gym leader?

Chapter 94 How could you, the owner of this establishment, lie to people!

"Mr. Shigeru, your brother... doesn't seem to be particularly strong. His Soul-Snatching Eye doesn't seem to be injured at all."

Meiyue blinked her big eyes and smiled sweetly at Xiaomao, who was not far away.

There's nothing I can do. These two brothers were so arrogant as soon as they arrived. Anyway, she's just an apprentice, so it's okay for her to put on a show.

Xiao Mao felt that his face was probably a bit hot right now, and he felt very dry.

Brother! My dear brother! You absolutely have to hold on!

But the ensuing battle is self-evident; in its burned and confused state, the Super Armored Rhino was powerless to do anything.

Although the two praises boosted the Super Armored Rhino's Special Attack twice, to be honest, even if you maxed out its Special Attack, it wouldn't make much difference.

Because it never gets a chance to be used.

With the third energy ball hitting, the Super Armored Rhinoceros finally collapsed, while the Soul-Hooking Eye remained completely clean.

"Super Armored Rhino is incapacitated; Soul-Hook Eyes wins." The referee announced the result of the battle.

With a dark expression, Qinglu withdrew the Super Armored Rhino. He wasn't dissatisfied with the Super Armored Rhino's defeat; he could only say that the opponent's methods were too dirty!

"Heh~ I really underestimated you just now. You do have some skill."

However, Green quickly adjusted his mindset, took out the second Poké Ball, raised his chin, and became arrogant again.

"But Master Guxin! Let me tell you, this little trick will only work once. The same move won't work on me a second time!"

Amazing confidence and arrogance!

"Oh? It seems Mr. Qinglv already has some preventative measures in place." Gu Xin raised an eyebrow, a half-smile on his face.

"Hmph~ Just you wait and see!"

Green-haired, in a dashing backhand motion, threw out the second Poké Ball.

"Growlithe! Go!"

The Poké Ball opened, and a magnificent canine Pokémon leaped out in front of Green, gazing proudly at Sableye with boundless energy.

Standing over two meters tall, it resembles a large dog with fluffy flaxen fur covering its face and neck, and its body covered in black and orange stripes like a tiger, giving it a majestic appearance.

This is Growlithe's evolved form, Arcanine!

"A very well-bred Arcanine." Guxin looked it over and couldn't help but praise it. To be honest, Arcanine is a really cool Pokémon with a very high appearance.

The Growlithe, with its gorgeous, shiny fur and energetic spirit, is clearly a perfectly grown dog. If taken to a Grand Contest, it would probably score a pretty good number of points just by standing there.

The cultivation ability of Qinglv is indeed second to none.

"Of course!" Green proudly put his hands on his hips; this was a talent he was very proud of.

"Ding~ Arcanine, Fire-type, Legendary Pokémon"

Ability: Intimidate

Special moves: Extreme Speed, Flamethrower, Flare Blitz, Roar, Crunch, Play Rough, Rage (inherited), Dig...

Description: A beautiful Pokémon that has captivated many hearts since ancient times, capable of running as nimbly as if it were flying.

"This Growlithe is really strong too."

Looking at Arcanine's information in the Pokédex, the little girl's eyes sparkled. Although she was arrogant and conceited, this Blue-Green was definitely the strongest challenger so far.

But the owner of the museum will definitely be fine!

"Mr. Azure, Arcanine is not immune to Sableye's status moves," Guxin said with a smile after a moment's thought.

Arcanine is not immune to hype and confusion, but Fire-type Arcanine is indeed immune to burns.

"Immunity is not needed." Qinglu raised her head and grinned.

"I see."

Guxin chuckled, intending to use Divine Speed ​​to evade the transformation-type moves enhanced by Mischievous Heart, but Divine Speed ​​was ineffective against Soul-Stealing Eye.

Arcanine growled majestically, an invisible aura of authority spreading out. Sableye's body radiated white light, and under the Intimidate ability, Sableye's Attack rank decreased by one stage.

"Stunning eyes, such flattery!"

"Lightning speed!"

That's incredibly fast.

Sableye clapped its hands excitedly, and a mysterious wave quickly spread toward Arcanine, but a white light flashed behind Arcanine and it instantly disappeared from the spot.

The speed of a priority move! And it's one of the highest priority priority moves!

Even with a mischievous streak, it's extremely difficult to hit Arcanine in its Extreme Speed ​​state.

With the speed boost, Growlithe's mane swayed constantly, and its running posture was incredibly handsome and dashing. In the blink of an eye, it had already circled behind Sableye.

"Playing around!"

"Black eyes."

Almost simultaneously, Qinglu and Guxin gave the order.

Normal-type Extreme Speed ​​is ineffective against Sableye, so for Blue Green, Extreme Speed ​​is the only way to avoid Sableye's transformation moves and get close enough to attack.

The Arcanine's claws and fangs glowed pink as it lunged at Sableye, who was right in front of it.

A black light flashed in Sableye's eyes, and a layer of black shadow covered Arcanine's shadow, making it impossible for Arcanine to leave the field.

However, the Fairy-type Playful Attacks all hit Sableye. The pink-glowing claws and fangs rained down on Sableye, causing it to let out a painful screech, and finally it was knocked away.

Playful is a counter to Soul-Stealing Eye! This attack from Playful deals high damage.

"Tch~ It can't be taken back again."

Green frowned slightly. Under his black gaze, Arcanine was unable to retract its attack. However, the priority now was to defeat Sableye.

"Flame Blast!"

Strike while the iron is hot; the Soul-Stealing Eye, still reeling from the playful attack, is likely to be hit by this follow-up flamethrower.

The flames gathered in Arcanine's mouth, and a raging pillar of fire suddenly shot towards Sableye.

"See through it." Gu Xin glanced at Soul Hook, who was not yet fully up and it was indeed difficult for him to avoid it.

A glint flashed in his eyes, and he slid sideways with uncanny speed, precisely avoiding the flames.

The ability to see through something is akin to an absolute evasion, and similar to a defensive technique.

"It's useless, a futile struggle." Qinglu sneered.

Arcanine used Extreme Speed ​​again. At Extreme Speed, Arcanine's figure was almost impossible to catch with the naked eye; it was incredibly fast.

With incredible speed, Arcanine once again appeared behind and to the side of Sableye.

"Immobilization Technique"

Just then, a strange light flashed in Sableye's eyes again, and a mysterious fluctuation quickly spread toward Arcanine, causing Arcanine to twist its body uncomfortably.

A Normal-type immobilization technique! It can hinder the opponent's movements and seal away their recently used move for a period of time.

And what Growlithe just used was Speed!

"Arcanine, play rough!" Green frowned even more and immediately shouted at Arcanine.

Arcanine ignored the strange discomfort and pounced on Sableye, its pink-glowing claws and fangs relentlessly attacking Sableye.

Sableye groaned in pain, and when Arcanine's playful attack ended, Sableye collapsed powerlessly to the ground.

This second, restrained playfulness was something Gossip Eyes simply couldn't handle.

"Sableye is unable to battle; Arcanine wins." The referee announced the battle result.

"Good job, get some rest."

Gu Xin withdrew his Soul-Hooking Eyes and offered a word of comfort. Although it was a pity that he hadn't been able to take the second playful attack, there was nothing he could do about it.

The level of this Arcanine is clearly higher than that of Sableye, and Sableye's defense is average.

This is also a limitation imposed on gym leaders. If they could freely change their Pokémon, they would never use Sableye to fight Arcanine to the death.

"Did you see that?! I knew Green would win!"

In the audience, Xiao Mao immediately came to life and spoke to Mei Yue and the other two girls with a smug look on his face.

"Tch~ Soul-Hooking Eyes defeated the Super Armored Rhinoceros too." The little sister was very unhappy.

"That's only because Green Bro didn't know Gushin's strategy at first. Do you guys even understand the value of Extreme Speed ​​and Arcanine's abilities?!"

Xiao Mao didn't care at all. Given how cunning Gu Xin's team was, it was normal to be killed on the first meeting.

But with Green's adaptability and strength, defeating Gushin is no problem at all! Arcanine is truly awesome!

How can there be such a cool and powerful Pokémon as Arcanine?

Arcanine, classified as a legendary Pokémon, has this ability!

"Just you wait and see, Green Bro is going to go on an undefeated streak! Arcanine will sweep all four opponents!" Gary declared confidently.

"No, Mr. Shigeru." Mizuki thought for a moment, then exchanged a glance with her younger sister, both noticing the strange look in each other's eyes.

"?"

"Does your brother know that you usually breastfeed him like this?" the younger sister asked curiously.

"??"

Xiao Mao was very unhappy. What did they mean by calling him "Brother Green"? It seems these two women still can't see reality. His Brother Green is invincible!

On the field.

"Blazing Roaring Tiger"

Guxin threw out another Blazing Roar Tiger Poké Ball.

The female Incineroar re-entered the arena, roaring fiercely at Arcanine. Arcanine, not to be outdone, responded with a majestic growl at Incineroar.

Intimidation!

Both Incineroar and Arcanine have their Attack stats reduced by one level.

"So next up is the high-five surprise attack. Damn it, Swiftness was sealed by the immobilization spell." Qinglu frowned.

"A surprise high-five."

Sure enough, Incineroar transformed into a red blur and rushed in front of Arcanine, its claws tearing fiercely through the air.

boom!

Incineroar slapped Arcanine, causing Arcanine to stagger back two steps and cower in fear.

"He made some tough remarks."

Incineroar unleashed a torrent of profanities at Arcanine, and Arcanine visibly bared its fangs, glaring angrily at Incineroar.

After cursing and feeling relieved, Incineroar grinned and turned into a white light, returning to its Poké Ball.

The white light on Arcanine dissipated, and its Attack and Special Attack each decreased by one stage.

Qinglu's eyes twitched. He suddenly realized that this tactic was absolutely disgusting!

Incineroar enters with a menacing presence, then steals a free Fake Out attack without taking any damage. After uttering some threats, it leaves the field and switches to Sableye, which delivers another Fake Out attack. Then, with its Prankster ability, it uses Black Gaze to lock onto the opponent's Pokémon, preventing it from recalling.

If Guxin didn't restrict the normal switching of Pokémon, how could he possibly win?

Qinglu's gaze turned strange as she looked at Guxin. Noticing Qinglu's gaze, Guxin gave her a gentle, sunny smile.

"Dragon King Scorpion, prepare for battle."

He threw the third Poké Ball with a backhand motion, and the ferocious and terrifying Drapion landed heavily in front of Guxin, waving its pincers and hissing at Arcanine.

"Wow~ the gym leader's Draconis!"

Mizuki's eyes lit up. This was one of the gym leader's top mainstays! Moreover, Mizuki had also watched the video of Guxin's battle against Red.

Mizuki was very pleased with the fierce performance of the Dragon King Scorpion, and she had decided that she would also catch a Dragon King Scorpion in the future!

Shigeru took out his Pokédex and looked at the moves of Gyarados in the Pokédex. Suddenly, a bad feeling rose in his heart.

"The Dragon King Scorpion, which possesses poisonous and malevolent attributes."

Qinglv observed the imposing Dragon King Scorpion and quickly recalled its attributes.

This is the quality of a truly powerful trainer!

Arcanine growled majestically at Drapion, activating Intimidate. Drapion's body radiated white light, and its Attack stat was reduced by one level.

"Arcanine, Flamethrower." Green pondered for a moment and decided to test the waters first.

Given that Shensu was sealed away, it's best to play it safe.

Arcanine gathered a thick flame in its mouth, and a blazing flame shot towards Dracovish.

"Dragon King Scorpion, Poisonous Spikes," Gu Xin said gently.

"??!" Qinglu's pupils suddenly contracted.

The Dragon King Scorpion's two pincers clasped together, and a deep purple energy sphere condensed and was sent into the air.

Poison-type Poison Spikes!

The flamethrower struck Drapion hard, causing it to growl in pain. Amidst the scattering of flames, Drapion's fierce gaze remained fixed on Arcanine.

Fire-type attacks are not effective against Drapion, and Drapion can easily withstand this Flamethrower attack.

With a loud 'bang,' the poisonous darts exploded in mid-air, and streams of obviously filthy purple liquid scattered down, eventually disappearing into the battlefield.

The entire battlefield was illuminated by a deep purple, eerie light before returning to calm.

Qinglu's face was frighteningly dark; the disgusting moves of Poison Spike had somehow spread throughout the Kanto region.

He now understands why Sableye locked Arcanine in place—it was a trap to poison the dog!

It's not that he can't deal with the poison spikes, but the problem is that his Arcanine can't be recalled! His Arcanine can't counter the poison spikes!

"Didn't you say you were using an Dark-type team?"

Green questioned Guxin, "Wasn't this supposed to be a useful Dark-type team? What's the meaning of using Toxic Spikes now?!"

Didn't you promise to show me the power and ferocity of Dark-type Pokémon? How could you, a Gym Leader, lie to me!

You son of a bitch, this is fraud!

Gu Xin was taken aback upon hearing this, then looked at Qing Lü with a half-smile.

"Mr. Green, you're really interesting. Didn't you tell me that the Dragon King Scorpion has a Dark attribute?"
