Elf: Starting as the Fighting Gym Master, and being entangled by Nancy

Li Xuan and his group headed westward. With the help of Articuno, Zapdos, and Riolu, the journey was relatively smooth.

Just when Jigglypuff took a breath in the middle of the fight, he was almost sent flying like a cannonball.

----

Three hours later, the three approached the outskirts of Yuhong City.

"Okay, the end is ahead."

Li Xuan pointed forward.

"Ling!!!" (Zapdaw, I'm definitely going to win this time!)

Upon hearing this, Articuno was like a chicken with its blood injected. It suddenly folded its wings and swooped down like an ice arrow.

A biting cold current burst out from its body, and the moment it dived along the way, the air instantly condensed into countless ice spikes, trying to build an ice barrier on the flight path of the Lightning Bird to block its advance!

"Chirp!" (Furry bird, you think you can surpass me?)

The lightning bird cried loudly, and dazzling lightning burst out from the tips of its wings.

Golden electric current flowed wildly between the feathers, and its speed increased to the extreme in a short period of time. Several thunders burst out from the tips of the feathers, shattering all the ice barriers along the way!

Bang bang bang!

The bursting thunder hit the ice crystals accurately, and a light mist drifted in the wind.

The lightning bird used all its strength, even pointing its long, sharp beak forward, just to reach the bottom faster.

"Ling!" (Idiot, this is what you've been waiting for!)

Articuno's voice suddenly came.

The Zapdos' body trembled, and a chilling air continued to climb up its body.

No damage, but it really slowed it down!

Zapdos watched helplessly as he fell behind Articuno.

Even his proud, long, pointed beak couldn't surpass the other's...

In the end, the winner is - Articuno!

"Not bad. It's not in vain to train you during this period of time."

Li Xuan stepped on the ground and stretched.

He felt comfortable in the breeze along the way and didn't feel dizzy even when browsing his phone.

Thumbs up for Articuno’s stability.

"Ling." (Of course. Don't you see who I am, Articuno? I'm the strongest Articuno in the entire Kanto region, and probably the entire world!)

Articuno raised its head, a look of pride emerging on its face.

It went along with what Li Xuan said and didn't forget to flatter itself.

"Ling." (Now, you are the world's strongest Articuno trainer! Not bad, isn't it?)

"But, I heard from Miss Kona that there's a place called the Orange Islands near the Seven Islands, where an ice god is enshrined. I wonder who's more powerful, you or that ice god?"

Li Xuan touched his chin and said this with a faint smile on his face.

"Ling!" (How could I, the mighty Articuno, be inferior to a bird from an alien island?)

Articuno was immediately dissatisfied and spread its wings, loudly declaring that it was the most powerful Articuno.

So much so that now it wants to pick a fight with that group of birds.

"Alright, alright, let's first resolve the matter in Yuhong City. Now is not the time to discuss that."

Li Xuan waved his hand and looked above his head.

Xiaoyin and Xiaolan landed one after another.

The Lightning Bird's eyes were filled with resentment, and it was just one step away from striking Articuno with a 100,000-volt attack.

A sneak attack halfway is not a good idea!

This is the idea of ​​Lightning Bird.

It thought this was a speed race, but Articuno turned it into a "prop race".

If it were any other bird, it would have been unable to bear it long ago!

"Chirp." (Just now, I was careless. When I become stronger, I will definitely have another speed race with you!)

Zapdos snorted coldly, folded its wings, and put Silver down.

"Ling." (Haha, this Articuno's strength will gradually increase, it won't stagnate. Next time, I will be the winner!)

In response to Zapdos's challenge, Articuno refuted it.

At the same time, Xiaolan landed successfully.

"Haha... I don't want to fly long distances anymore!"

Xiaolan jumped off Jigglypuff and stood firmly on the ground with tears in his eyes.

Along the way, she always felt that she was being pushed forward by three forces.

It was like walking on the highway and suddenly getting hit by a big force, and the whole person was unable to move.

Fortunately it was only three hours, otherwise she felt she would have died there.

"Pudding~" (Wow, this flight feels weird, like my body isn't my own~)

Jigglypuff and Blue had the same feeling. Today's flight was obviously normal, but it was filled with a weird feeling.

It's a feeling that can't be described anywhere.

"Miao~" (I don't know, it feels so good to feel the breeze in the sky~)

Little Riolu yawned, and the pink light in his eyes disappeared.

It jumped off Li Xuan's shoulder and stared quietly ahead.

"Miao~" (Hmm~ This place is really full of evil. It looks bright and beautiful on the surface, but it's actually not much better than Golden City~)

Little Riolu sensed the situation inside before he even got close.

It seems to be thriving, but actually it is already in chaos.

"Yes, after all, this is Yuhong City, the second largest city in the Kanto region, only slightly smaller than Jinhuang City. Moreover, the largest shopping mall in all of Kanto is here."

Li Xuan knew what little Riolu was talking about. He brushed one hand over the other's head, and with the other hand he picked up the Poké Ball and took back Zapdos and Articuno.

"Miao~" (Let's go~ I also want to see what you call the largest shopping mall and see what delicious food there is~)

Little Riolu walked in front, eager to enter Yuhong City to see the situation.

"Okay, but before that, there's one more thing to do."

Li Xuan thought for a moment, then extended his hand to Xiao Lan and said, "I'll lend you yours."

"???"

Xiaolan put his hands on his hips and said unhappily, "Why do you always borrow mine? Why don't you go catch a Ditto yourself?"

Chapter 154 Xiaoyin: I want to catch Team Rocket

"Why do you always borrow mine? Why don't you just go catch a Ditto yourself?"

Xiao Lan pouted in anger, but the next moment she was pinched by Li Xuan and felt deflated.

The chubby face flattened in an instant, and Xiaolan's voice gradually lengthened and turned into a choked "whimper".

"Hmm... Li Xuan, you're so hot! If you keep pinching me, my face will be broken by you!"

Xiao Lan squeezed out a few tears in pain, and her eyes gradually became wet.

When Li Xuan pinched her, the force he used made her a little uncomfortable, but over time another feeling arose.

"Woo woo woo, I'll lend you my Ditto."

Seeing that Li Xuan still had no intention of letting go, Xiao Lan added this sentence, and Li Xuan slowly let go of his hand.

When the hand left, Xiao Lan's face was red, and if you didn't know, you would think she was having a cupping treatment.

"Next time you want to pinch my face, tell me in advance. If you pinch me while I'm pouting, it will really hurt."

Xiao Lan rubbed her face and reminded Li Xuan.

"Okay, I'll definitely do it next time."

Li Xuan nodded and took the Ditto's Poké Ball from Xiaolan.

"Baibian~" (Hey, it's you again, what are you going to become today?)

As soon as Ditto came out of the Poké Ball, he saw Li Xuan and knew what to do without thinking too much.

After all, I have done this job so many times, so I am somewhat familiar with it.

"Let me think about it. Today I'll just transform into an ordinary person. Ideally, someone who stands out in the crowd. Something ordinary, unremarkable, and unmemorable. Just follow this picture and transform yourself."

Li Xuan took out his cell phone, opened the photo album, and placed the appearance he wanted in front of Ditto.

"Baibian~" (A hundred changes, as you wish~)

Ditto jumped directly onto Li Xuan's face. The cool touch hit him, and coupled with a commotion, in less than ten seconds, it turned into the appearance Li Xuan wanted.

Once you've done this, you're all set.

Li Xuan picked up his phone and sent a message to the owner of Lijia Pavilion.

[Li Xuan: We've arrived. We're in the suburbs, preparing to enter Yuhong City.]

【Lijia: !!!】

[Lijia: I'm at the Pokémon Center at the entrance. Could you tell me what Gym Leader Li Xuan looks like today?]

Li Xuan: I'm wearing all black, with two kids and a Riolu by my side, so I should be pretty easy to spot. Oh, and there's a Ditto on my face, but it's not my real face.

[Lijia: I understand. Coconut tree swaying.jpg]

After putting away his phone, Li Xuan took them into Yuhong City.
