With a loud shout, the Dragon Head Rat conjured a huge rock in front of it.

call out!

The enormous rocks seemed to block out the sky.

The tiny sniffer snake was completely shrouded in its shadow.

"Get out of the way!"

"Metal Claw!"

The Sniper, which had just slipped away from under the boulder, was immediately attacked by the Dragon Head Grub.

The white-glowing claws gripped the vine snake tightly.

It was knocked away directly.

If Natsuki hadn't reacted quickly and used a Poké Ball to catch Snivy, Snivy would have suffered further damage after hitting the wall.

"New Leaf Meow!"

"Seed Bomb!"

"Meow!"

While still in mid-air and not yet on the ground, Xin Ye Miao shouted loudly.

A huge seed, resembling a nut, fell from the sky.

boom!

Looking at the dragon-headed mole shrouded in smoke, Boss Ju raised an eyebrow.

"Dig a hole!"

"earthquake!"

Xia Mu retrieved Xin Ye Miao with her left hand and dispatched the Clay Giant with her right.

"Straight-through drill, break through!"

Rumble!

The earth shook violently.

The dragon-headed mole, caught off guard by Xia Mu's unethical replacement, had not yet emerged from the ground.

It lost its fighting ability under the full force of the clay giant's earthquake.

"..."

Looking at the chaotic battlefield before him, Boss Ju blinked.

This plot... is different from what I imagined.

Although it wasn't their ace gopher that was sent out.

But Old Master Ju originally thought...

Anyway.

My own Excadrill can at least replace two of Xia Mu's Grass-type Pokémon.

But now it seems...

"This fighting style... is utterly lacking in spirit!!"

Old Master Ju glared angrily at Natsuki.

This moment.

It's not just because of the seemingly sticky relationship between Xia Mu and Zi Yu.

Instead.

Kiku-sama dislikes Natsuki.

Each trainer has their own fighting style.

Little Chrysanthemum enjoys fast-paced battles and likes to use tricks like charm.

And the eldest, Ju.

They prefer direct confrontation and enjoy head-on battles, and deeply despise all kinds of negative skills and tricks.

and so.

Natsuki's fighting style, which would be considered despicable even in a regular dojo challenge, made Kiku-sama have a lot of opinions about Natsuki.

of course.

Xia Mu has never cared about these small details.

If it weren't for the fact that dirty tricks like substitutes and poisons cannot be completely transplanted from the real world.

At this moment, Xia Mu wished he could give the old man in front of him a complete negative package.

after all.

You gym leaders have absolutely no love for new trainers!

I'm going to sue you in the league!

Since Xia Mu started challenging the dojos, he has never received the corresponding treatment.

In this tense situation...

Kiku sent out his second Pokémon.

"Desert dragonfly!"

Xia Mu could tell at a glance.

The desert dragonfly in front of me is not in the same league as the dragon head gopher from before.

If the previous Dragon Head Mole still seemed to have a chance of winning, the Desert Dragonfly in front of her now undoubtedly made Natsume Touko admit defeat.

after all.

Xia Mu's keen eyesight told him.

The desert dragonfly in front of me is even stronger than Officer Jenny's Arcanine.

and so.

Needless to say.

The Flygon in front of us is Kiku's main Pokémon.

even.

Xia Mu suspected that this desert dragonfly was among the strongest in Kiku's main force.

Wanlong's surprised reaction further confirmed Xia Mu's guess.

"This desert dragonfly..."

Looking at the bewildered dragon.

Then look across at Old Deng, the beer-bellied man with his hands on his hips and an arrogant air.

Xia Mu's expression was extremely complicated.

No.

Did I steal your treasure?

So, they're just going to send him to the second team?

You actually sent your main force?!

I only have one badge, okay?!

Thinking that even combined, his cat and Snake Sister weren't as strong as the previous Dragon Head Groundhog.

result.

Now an even more outrageous desert dragonfly has arrived.

Xia Mu finally couldn't hold back anymore.

"Old Deng, you're shameless!"

"Hey kid, who are you calling 'Old Deng'?!"

Ju Laoda never expected this.

This guy in front of me is not only being all lovey-dovey with my little princess in front of my dojo, he even dares to call me "Old Deng" to my face!?

"Whoever answers me, I'll call them!"

"Sigh~"

So many years have passed.

Ju Laoda could hardly remember the last time someone had challenged him to his face.

"Hey kid, send your sprites up here right now!"

Ju Laoda was so angry that he was practically dying.

"No way! If you send your main force anyway, I won't fight!"

"If you don't fight, you lose!"

"Anyway, I've already won one game!"

Seeing the smug Natsuki, Kiku almost couldn't resist the urge to start a fight in the wild.

Especially after seeing Natsuki's expression when he said he had already won a game.

Ju Laoda deeply resented his past self.
