The necromancer of the Pokémon world

Chapter 165 Aysha

"Mura, that name sounds familiar. Oh right! He's the former gym leader of the Lava Gym in the original story, and Aysa's grandfather."

Upon learning the old man's identity, Lin Ye was quite surprised and politely invited him in.

It's important to know that as the former head of one of the eight certified dojos of the Hoenn Alliance, and also the patriarch of the powerful Fuyan family, this old man's strength is undoubtedly unfathomable.

Mura strode over to the Azure Flame Blade Demon, examined it closely, circled it a few times, and even reached out to test the temperature of the flames on its body. Then she nodded repeatedly, "Not bad, not bad. This Azure Flame Blade Demon is very well cared for; the quality of its flames is extremely high."

He looked around again and, seeing Lin Ye's Pokémon, exclaimed, "You're so young, yet you've already managed to raise so many Pokémon. That's truly remarkable."

My granddaughter has always been arrogant and haughty. She really should come and meet you so she'll understand that there are always people more capable than herself.

After saying that, he took the fried meat that Lin Ye handed him, blew on it, took a few bites, and gave it a thumbs up, praising it highly: "Good, good, good~, this old man won't say any more superfluous praise. Consider this my way of repaying your kindness with a meal. I believe it will be helpful to you."

Mura took out a notebook and handed it to Lin Ye. When he looked at it, he found that it contained his insights from decades of raising Fire-type Pokémon, as well as some techniques for using Fire-type moves.

"I really like your Azure Flame Blade Demon. These things might be helpful to it. I also wish you success in becoming the first Gym Leader of Lilycove City."

"Mr. Mura, you know..."

"Haha~, setting up a dojo is such a big deal, even though I'm retired, I still have to keep an eye on it."

I had previously looked at the information of some of the contestants and knew that there was a trainer who was good at Ghost-type.

Now that I see your Pokémon lineup, it's highly likely that it's that person.

After all, if trainers with this level of skill at this age were everywhere, we old guys would really be ashamed.

By the way, you're here at this time, so you must have chosen our Fubuki Gym as your challenge target, right?

"What a pity. If I had retired later, I would have been able to witness the brilliance of you young people."

"Mr. Mulla, you flatter me. In a Pokémon battle, I'm afraid I wouldn't be a match for you."

Mura waved his hand and said, "Speaking of which, the content of this challenge mission was designed by my granddaughter, Aysa."

I heard that the child's task was for the challenger to find a modified special badge, which she had hidden deep in Chimney Mountain.

This girl, Chimney Mountain is so vast, asking someone to find a treasure chest is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

"It's a pity, that girl handled all of this herself; I knew nothing about it. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind sharing some information with you."

Upon hearing this, Lin Ye was left speechless, unsure whether to laugh or cry.

Unexpectedly, the badge of unknown purpose was placed there by Asha, and it was also his mission target.

To be honest, if it weren't for my own chance discovery, but instead I had to search the mountain step by step, it would have taken too much time. That girl's move was truly ingenious.

Just then, a boisterous woman's voice suddenly came from the next yard: "Grandpa, didn't you say you were here? Where did you go?"

"Oh, what a coincidence! I was just talking about the girl, and here she is!" Mura put down her chopsticks and called out towards the door, "Asha! I'm over here. I'll introduce you to a young man!"

Before long, the courtyard gate was pushed open, and a figure rushed in.

She was a woman who looked to be in her early twenties, with long, bright red hair styled into a ponytail, the ends of which curled up slightly, like a dancing flame.

She was wearing a loose red T-shirt and denim shorts, and her features were bright and striking, but there was a clear hint of displeasure in her expression.

"Grandpa, I need to talk to you! The Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile that I arranged for this gym leader election was attacked by someone and has become very weak."

I've fed it many precious medicinal herbs, but it still has no energy. It's clearly been poisoned. I don't know how long it will take to recover. I'd better pray that I don't find the culprit.

I heard from the Bone-Patterned Kroos that the person was a young man with a bunch of Ghost Pokémon, including two Gym Leader level Pokémon, a Ghost Fish I'd never seen before, a white-furred fox, and...

As Aysa spoke with her hands on her hips, she noticed Lin Ye and a group of Pokémon beside her, and finally her gaze settled on the latter.

"You—you're the guy who injured my Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile, aren't you?"

What did you do to it? Why did you make it so weak, unable to muster any strength at all?

"I'm sorry, I didn't know beforehand that you put that giant crocodile with bone markings there, and that it was the one that attacked me first."

As for its current physical condition, I admit I was a bit too harsh, but if you're willing to give it some precious tonics, it should recover to about 70-80% in less than a month.

"Precious tonic! Precious tonics are free! You have to compensate me for my loss!"

"~, Aysa, Lin Ye might be the future Gym Leader of the Water Lily Gym, so please don't be rude."

"Master Shuijing Pavilion, could it be that he...?"

Lin Ye touched his nose and took out the badge he had obtained earlier: "What a coincidence, does this mean I've passed your institution's test?"

Aysa stared at the badge for a long time, then suddenly turned to Lin Ye, her eyebrows almost standing on end: "You! How did you find it? Besides, I haven't even given you the task yet. It doesn't count that you got it first. We have to compete again."

"Ah Sha, Lin Ye only discovered the badge by chance before the assessment. He didn't cheat, so it can be considered fate."

Now that he has the badge you left there, he has successfully passed the gym's assessment. Perhaps we'll both become Hoenn gym leader in the future, so consider this a favor.

"Grandpa!" Asha turned to look at Mura, her little face even more indignant because her grandfather favored Lin Ye: "He just stumbled upon it by chance. I had never met him before, nor did I announce the assessment content to him. How can it count?"

No, I want to battle him one more time, a proper Pokémon battle. If I win, he'll have succeeded.

Mura shook his head and said, "Girl, take a look at Lin Ye's lineup first. He has two 'Gym Leader' level Pokémon at such a young age."

On the other hand, you only have one Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile, which is currently too weak to use.

Moreover, I nurtured it and gave it to you; otherwise, you wouldn't even be able to command respect as an acting gym owner.

Aysa blushed, but remained defiant, gritting her teeth as she said, "Your name is Lin Ye, right? Do you dare to have a fair Pokémon battle with me, limited to 'professional level'? If you lose, the badges you got before won't count."

Lin Ye asked with a half-smile, "What if we win?"

"What if I win?" Asha hesitated for a moment, then finally gritted her teeth and said, "If I win, I'll automatically consider you to have passed the test, and I'll also give you ten mid-quality 'Fire Gems'!"
