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

"Mr. Leisi, I'd like to ask you a question. What do you think of Pokémon battles?"

Chapter 201 Sakaki Arrives at the Fighting Dojo

"Mr. Leisi, I'd like to ask you a question. What do you think of Pokémon battles?"

Li Xuan asked Lei Si a question.

"Ok?"

This question made Lei Si pause for thought, and even his confusion about the future was swept away.

Pokémon Battle...

Isn't it just a battle?

"Let me ask you another question. Why do you think we need to fight?"

Li Xuan changed his words.

Hearing this, Lei Si said without hesitation: "Because I want to become stronger."

"Then why do you want to become stronger? What is your purpose in becoming stronger? Is it for your family, friends, and partners?"

Li Xuan continued to ask.

"..."

Lei Si was silent.

Why did he become stronger?

Is it for family or for partners?

He turned around and looked at Shinji who was hugging Kusanagi. When their eyes met, he found that Shinji had become silent.

"But, I..."

"But you've defeated many powerful enemies before, even the feared Nancy Gym Leader in Kanto. But when you faced me, you felt a deep sense of powerlessness, right?"

Li Xuan said what Lei Si wanted to say.

Lei Si, who was "seized by the opportunity" by Li Xuan, opened his mouth slightly and finally nodded.

Yes, not only Nancy, he even defeated Sakaki...

Although Sakaki didn't use the main team, at least he did defeat the opponent who used the main team of the gym...

As a result, when fighting against Li Xuan.

All the tactics I could think of were blocked.

Powerless, really powerless...

Lei Si felt unhappy but couldn't find the problem.

strength?

No, actually it's almost the same.

Even in terms of numbers, he still has the advantage.

So, it must be his own problem...

As expected, I am not suitable to be a trainer...

After going around in circles, Lei Si came back to the question and thought it was his own problem.

Li Xuan: “…”

Well, internal friction again.

"Mr. Leisi, why don't you ask your Pokémon what they think of you?"

Li Xuan threw three pomelo fruits over.

"Thank you."

Lei Si sent out the three Pokémon that had just been put on the field.

Then feed them the fruits.

After a while, they all had the strength to stand up again.

"Muk!" (Smelly Zapdos, I'll definitely fight you for three hundred rounds next time!)

"Long He!" (You win this time, you'll win next time!)

Mk'Eagle and King Scorpion prefer to fight, and even if they lose, they still think about the next battle.

This is completely different from Lei Si.

"See, your Pokémon are eager to keep fighting."

Li Xuan smiled and whispered to Lei Si.

"Do you guys really want to keep fighting? My tactics have been cracked by them. I'm such an incompetent trainer..."

Lei Si was filled with mixed emotions as all his Pokémon were annihilated under his command.

In this situation, he still wanted to fight...

"Muk?" (What's your business? Isn't that Zapdos incredibly powerful? I think we did okay. In fact, if we were stronger, we could probably do even better.)

"Long!" (Yeah, this Zapdos is so sinister. Its skin is so thick, yet it took my poisonous cross blades! Is it open?)

M'K'Eagle and King Scorpion looked at each other and could see the seriousness in each other's eyes.

The Lightning Bird is not something they can deal with.

It’s normal to lose.

They are awesome for forcing Zapdos into this state.

Unlike his own trainer, the main feature of Raiji's Pokémon is that they don't fight among themselves.

If they win, it means they are better; if they lose, it means their opponents are stronger.

I know my own strengths and weaknesses, so I won't get burned out by this.

It's not a one-shot deal. If you tell anyone about this, you can brag about it for a whole year.

"Chirp." (Haha, you can't beat me, so you say I'm cheating, right? This Zapdos is one of the best Zapdos in the whole level, so it's normal for me to lose to you, okay?)

Zapdos was trash-talking with Scorpion and Mk'K.

The sea slug next to him shook his head when he heard it.

"Look, your Pokémon is challenging my Zapdos to a duel. Mr. Leisi, one defeat is nothing."

Li Xuan tried his best to persuade Lei Si.

He suddenly thought of something and told the story of a certain Team Rocket cadre: "Let's put it this way, I often go out to catch Team Rocket."

"Uh-huh."

Lei Si nodded.

Shinji, who was taciturn next to him, also raised his head, wanting to hear what Li Xuan had to say.

[Oh? And about Team Rocket?]

[I want to hear it, I want to hear it. The host doesn't usually tell stories like this, but today I want to hear it!]

"What's going on, meow? Why is Team Rocket involved, meow?"

[Is this person using C language? Why does he like to add the word "meow" at the end of a sentence so much? ]

【Hehe, I’m meow meow meow! 】

[666, Meow Meow has become a spirit, right? Then I'm Growlithe, woof woof woof!]

[Hey hey hey, listen quickly, the host is going to tell the story of Team Rocket! ]

Inside and outside the live broadcast room, everyone listened attentively, wanting to hear what Li Xuan would say.

"During my time capturing Team Rocket, I frequently encountered an officer named Lambda. While he had shifty eyes and wasn't much of a character, favoring high-explosive sneak attacks, he actually had a valuable quality we could all learn from."

Li Xuan's words were sonorous and powerful.

It seems that if there were no prefix, Mr. Lambda, a leader of Team Rocket, would definitely be a trainer of high quality.

"What quality?"

Lei Si was attracted by Li Xuan's words.

"persist in."

Li Xuan uttered two words lightly.

"?"

Lei Si found it hard to imagine how the word "persistence" became associated with the Rockets' executives.

"I've faced Lambda three times, and each time I successfully apprehended him, but he was eventually rescued. Of course, I'm not talking about being rescued."

Li Xuan raised a finger and pointed at Lei Si's chest. "What I want to talk about is his determination to fight me every time he faced me, even when he knew he would be beaten up by me."

"Even if nothing else, just looking at this persistence, it has surpassed everyone else."

【Lambda: 6】

Rockets: 6

[I couldn't hold it in, really.]

[Although, is this really what he wants to insist on? ]

"I understand. Thank you, Master Li Xuan."

After listening to Li Xuan's story about the Rocket Team's cadres, Lei Si took back his Pokémon and bowed deeply to him.

The key to doing things is persistence.

He finished this bowl of chicken soup!

"You're welcome. Don't forget to give me a five-star rating later~"
