Why would you need a girlfriend when you have Pokémon?

Xiaoyao waved to Lowe and quickly headed towards the Pokémon Center. It should be because a big battle had ended, and she needed to let the Pokémon around her rest quickly.

Seeing this, Lowe was motivated and pushed open the door of the gym without saying a word.

"Challenger Lowe, please give me your guidance!"

As soon as he entered the door, he introduced himself and stated his purpose, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the gym.

There is usually not only one gym owner in the gym. There will also be other trainers training there. Of course, you don't need to challenge those who are not gym owners, but if you are interested, you can compete with them before challenging the gym owner.

"A new challenger?" Immediately, several trainers in the gym gathered around excitedly, "How about it, before challenging Teacher Du Juan, do you want to fight with us first?"

The teacher Du Juan they are talking about is the gym leader of Kanaz City, known as the "Top Student of Rock". She loves Rock-type Pokémon and is an elite trainer who has reached the master level with them!

Luo Wei originally wanted to challenge Du Juan directly, but he thought it would be a good idea to warm up before the fight, so he smiled and nodded.

"No problem, then... come on!"

"Georock, the battle cannot be won... The winner is Lowe!"

Following the referee's decision, the trainer in front of him reluctantly took the defeated Geodude back into the Poké Ball. At the same time, a group of trainers gathered around to watch the fun.

"Awesome, including this game, it's five consecutive wins!"

"Hey, hey, the guy who just lost the fight seems to have received two badges, right?"

"Such a great trainer, but he didn't even get a badge?"

Their amazement was justified. After all, Lowe and New Leaf Cat had easily achieved five consecutive victories with efficiency as easy as chopping melons and vegetables.

Among the opponents defeated by Lowe, there were newcomers who were also challenging the gym for the first time, but there were also veterans who had already obtained two badges.

Without exception, none of these trainers lasted more than ten rounds against Lowe. The New Leaf Cat, who won five games in a row, didn't even seem to be exhausted at all. She licked her feet calmly and leisurely. The amazement of the surrounding trainers made the little girl very happy, but due to her personality, she still looked cold and indifferent.

After all, New Leaf Cat is a person who only shows enthusiasm to his own trainer, and when dealing with outsiders, he always looks cold and indifferent.

But no matter what, Lowe has already put in an amazing performance, and almost everyone believes that with Lowe's strength, it is a no-brainer that he will get the badge.

After all, the gym leader will adjust the lineup and strength based on the badges the trainer has already obtained. Generally speaking, the difficulty of getting a badge is almost giving it away for free. Basically, as long as it is not too bad, as long as you have trained Pokémon seriously, you can get a badge.

And Lowe's performance is at least at the level of three badges, so he gives people a stable feeling no matter how he does it.

At this moment, a clear voice was heard.

"It was indeed a beautiful performance. You are indeed worthy of being Mr. Qianli's son..."

Hearing this voice, the trainers around were immediately energized and all made way. Lowe looked in the direction where the voice came from and saw a graceful figure walking towards him.

She was dressed like a student, but holding a pointer and wearing glasses, she looked like a little adult. She was actually a young girl with twin ponytails.

She walked up to Lowe and stood in front of him, nodding slightly. Lowe recognized her immediately.

"You must be Miss Du Juan, then please accept my challenge!"

There are pictures here, which can be viewed after the updated version

"Of course, but before that..." The girl named Du Juan smiled and waved the teaching stick in her hand, and said calmly, "Before that, I received a commission from Mr. Qianli. He hopes that I can fight you at least at the difficulty of 'Four Badges'~"

"..."

Very good, this is indeed something that father can do!

Four badges, that is to say, even if it is not at full strength, at least it is serious and not deliberately letting up.

"Of course, this does not conform to the normal process, so you are fully qualified to refuse..."

"Haha, no problem, just come on!"

After hearing what Luo Wei said, Du Juan immediately took off her glasses, and her aura suddenly changed...

"... Very good, you are very confident. Then, the Rock Gym Leader of Kanaz City is about to take action!"

Chapter 36: Watching the fun is not a big deal

Qianli hopes that Du Juan can at least fight against Lowe with the standards of facing a challenger with four badges, which is of course not in compliance with the procedures.

Therefore, Lowe had the power to reject this "unreasonable" arrangement, but he did not hesitate at all and nodded and agreed without saying a word.

"No problem, come on!"

Since his father wanted to increase his strength, Lowe accepted the offer. The trainers who gathered on the side and watched naturally became excited when they heard this.

"What's going on? Four badges level?"

You know, a trainer who can obtain four badges is already considered an elite trainer, and you only meet two of them throughout the year. Most of the time, gym leaders face challengers who only have one or two badges, or no badges at all.

In other words, at least 80% of the time, gym leaders' battles are just for fun, and there are only a handful of serious fights, and fights of this level are bound to be extremely exciting.

Such a rare and exciting duel is of course exciting, and besides being excited, some people are definitely curious about Lowe's identity.

However, Du Juan’s words just now have already revealed Luo Wei’s identity, the son of that “tough guy” Qianli!

No one had any objection to the development that was obviously not in line with the process. Originally, it was okay as long as the person himself didn't care. Anyway, if you can win, it would be no problem for you to challenge the eight-badge difficulty right away. If you can win, it means you have the ability.

As long as you don't win by cheating, no one will blame you for it.

"How many Pokémon are you planning to send?"

Du Juan asked this question, and Lowe immediately showed his New Leaf Meow and Ralts. Du Juan nodded in understanding, "I see. In that case, I'll also send out two Pokémon... As for who to send out first."

Du Juan made a decision quickly and threw out a black and white Poké Ball. It was a high-level ball with a higher capture rate than the Ultra Ball. It was a Poké Ball that only gym leaders were qualified to purchase and use. It was also the strongest Poké Ball mass-produced by Silver Company.

Even better than it is the legendary "Master Ball", a limited edition that has not yet been mass-produced.

Anyway, let's ignore all that for now. A light burst out from the advanced ball, and in an instant a large shadow was cast that covered half of the arena. When the light faded, the true form of the object was revealed.

The giant snake, made entirely of rock, raised its one-horned head and gazed calmly at Lowe, the New Leaf Cat and Lalulas beside him.

"Is Onix the first to go? Well, this is New Leaf, please!"

Xinye Miao nodded, jumped into the arena with high morale, and looked at the giant monster in front of him without any fear at all.

You have to know that in terms of physique, Onix is ​​more than ten times the size of Catkin. It's almost as if Onix can sweep Catkin away just by flicking its tail.

Du Juan recognized this courage very much, but Pokémon battles require more than just courage...

Du Juan waved her teaching stick, and Rock Snake immediately received the order. The snake, which was originally coiled up and waiting for an opportunity to move, suddenly stretched out its body. A layer of hard metallic luster shone on its thick and long tail, and it swept towards the direction of Xin Ye Miao with a gust of violent airflow!

Wherever the long tail passed, the arena looked like a dim yellow tornado rolled up out of thin air. The arena itself was arranged into a structure covered with gravel and rock prostheses. The sweep of the tail was like an overwhelming momentum!

Seeing this, the trainers who were watching on the side couldn't help but subconsciously take a step back. The terrifying aura made even the onlookers feel a distinct sense of oppression, let alone New Leaf who was facing it directly.

The power of this "Steel Tail" proved that the opponent did not let up. In the rolling smoke and dust... the huge snake tail swept past, as if it was going to lift up a layer of the ground.

Of course Lowe had no fear at all, and was even excited by it. This complete sense of oppression was exactly what he wanted!

"Come on, New Leaf, meow!"

He raised his hand and waved, and the New Leaf Cat immediately understood what he meant, and rushed towards the oncoming Steel Tail. Its body quickly left a string of beautiful afterimages, and as its sharp claws rubbed against the ground, sparks flew. The New Leaf Cat rushed headfirst into the rolling yellow sand.

The next second, the snake's tail fell into the air, splitting the rolling yellow sand into two at the moment of landing. The huge tremor made people unable to stand steadily, but Xinye Miao had already jumped into the air and was not affected.

The New Leaf Cat, whose attack was increased by sharpening its claws, fell quickly with the help of gravity, and its sharp claws popped out and fell heavily, hitting Onix, but the collision only produced a scattered spark.

“…It’s so hard!”

Lowe couldn't help but complain. It seemed that New Leaf Cat's enhanced attack didn't do any damage at all...

But it's true, their physical defense racial value of 160 is not just for show...

...In response, Lowe immediately added to his offensive.

"Leaves!"

When the New Leaf Cat missed its first attack, it immediately used Onix's body as a springboard to leap up again, with large leaves flying all over its body...

After all, Onix's rock and ground attributes are directly restrained by the Grass type by four times, so the power of this leaf attack can naturally be expected.

However, Onix missed its attack with its steel tail, and spun its body flexibly. Its tail that landed on the ground created a gust of wind, which blew all the leaves that were sweeping towards Leafcat back.

With the help of the offensive, Xinye Miao did a beautiful somersault in the air and landed steadily, but when he looked up, he saw that all his attacks were bounced off...

"..."

With such a large body, even if it rolled 18 times on the ground, it would be like a tidal wave. Moreover, Du Juan's Onix was obviously an oversized individual. It can only be said that it is worthy of being a Pokémon cultivated by the gym owner. It is so nutritious...

After a steel tail swept away the leaves, Onix raised its head, and a faint light gathered on the horn on its head. Lowe's eyelids twitched when he saw it.

"Oh no, we must dodge this one!"

There was a sharp explosion that almost broke the air, and Onix rushed towards New Leaf Meowth.

Xinye Miao seemed to realize that the attack was extremely powerful, and immediately tried to pull away with a flash of lightning, but the opponent's attack came too fast and too fierce...

Good news, Xinye Miao managed to escape...

...Bad news, Xinye Meow was hit by the air flow.

Just by wiping it, Xinye Miao's body began to shake, and it seemed that it was about to lose its balance.

"...Double-edged Headbutt"

Power 150... While inflicting heavy damage to the enemy, this skill will also cause a strong recoil to the enemy itself. As the name suggests, it is a double-edged sword that can kill both the enemy and you.

However, Onix didn't seem to be affected by the recoil...

"…Because Onix has the characteristic of 'stone head', it can offset the damage of the reaction force?"

This means that Onix can use this powerful skill continuously without consumption, and Catelynx, a fragile little creature, obviously cannot withstand this full-strength attack at all.

At this point, Luo Wei also understood, and at that moment, he smiled with relief...

"...Then, evolve~"

Chapter 37: Leap Evolution

"Then, evolve~"

Lowe spoke so calmly that it stunned everyone around him.

As a trainer, you are no stranger to evolution. When Pokémon accumulates experience points through training and battles, their levels can be raised. When the levels are raised to a certain level, they can evolve...

...After evolution, the Pokémon's appearance, racial value and even attributes may change, and it can also learn new skills and master more powerful powers.
