I beg you female trainers to give me money even if you lose!

Yang Xiying agreed wholeheartedly, and Leisha didn't deny it either. The three of them returned to the base that the two girls had personally chosen.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and both parties needed to fill the void left by the short separation. As a result, Yang Xiying did not arrive in Golden City until Sunday morning.

She had barely taken a step in Goldenrod City when she was moved to Naz's house, adhering to the principle of "no fight, no friendship".

—The two had a fight before they started communicating offline about their recent situations.

"...It seems you're becoming more and more like a superhero, Yang."

Because they had exchanged information, Naz knew that Yang Xiying had gone to Hezhong, and that something big had happened there.

Therefore, Sabrina can easily connect the two, especially since the event mentioned giant-type Pokémon.

This wasn't some Pokémon to Sabrina; it was Yang Xiying's boxing style that she had seen in private.

Therefore, Naz can confirm that Yang Xiying was involved in that major event.

“Really? But I consider myself the kind of person who would charge a reward from those I rescue,” Yang Xiying raised an eyebrow before correcting the other person.

—He's not a superhero.

"...Are you injured?"

"If you were injured, you would have already started begging for mercy when you challenged me to a fight, right? What? Are you worried about me?" Yang Xiying replied, then revealed a teasing expression.

"...Otherwise what? It would be too cold-blooded of me to remain indifferent to what happens to my lover," Natsume said, not being so hypocritical.

"Moreover, I will not forgive you for leaving so hastily after turning my life upside down like this."

"So if you have any problems in the future, be sure to contact me. Although I may not be able to help you with everything, I can at least do something."

“I will,” Yang Xiying nodded, looking at Naz’s slightly serious expression, and then spoke up as if she had thought of something.

"—However, I always feel that you seem a little distracted, Naz."

"Recently, my premonitions have become stronger. It seems that I can see some things about our future, burning out completely until everything turns to ashes."

"This seems to be talking about you, Yang Xiying, so I think I should help you with some things, such as the upcoming Jade Rainbow Dojo strategy."

"Oh?"

Yang Xiying raised an eyebrow. "Burning out completely" sounds quite heroic. Does this mean she'll be exhausted and collapse from exhaustion in the future?

However, Sabrina's guide to the Rainbow Gym kept him listening, as it would make it easier to get badges.

—Moreover, Rika's attitude during their last conversation made him a little scared.

"Yuhong Dojo is a dojo where all the staff are girls, so it will be a bit difficult for you to challenge it with your characteristics."

—There's a saying, "The Nine Yin Manual..."

"However, you have enough badges now to skip the Level 1 Gym Trial. The most important thing is Rika."

"Oh, is she planning to tell me about Rika's Pokémon lineup?" Yang Xiying asked subconsciously.

"Pretty much, but to be honest, I don't really want Yang Xiying to beat her."

"...Because I'll ruin a new girl?" Nazi's words made Yang Xiying's expression subtle, only to hear the other side continue speaking.

"Pretty much. After all, it's not a good thing for you to be in contact with too many girls. Putting aside the women's attitudes, can you handle it all by yourself?"

“…I can try,” some things are simply unavoidable, and there are too many women in this world blocking his path.

So now he has no choice but to face it head-on.

"However, as Rika's friend, I still hope you beat her."

Naz continued speaking, and Yang Xiying, listening, had already begun to speculate whether her friend was made of steel or plastic.

"—Because this will allow her to break free from the cage that binds her."

"cage?"

"Yes, it's a cage called a powerful clan. That's one of the reasons I let you stay in Golden City for a while, because you've already been trained in all aspects during this time."

……

"Welcome to Rainbow Gym. Judging from this trainer's appearance, he must be Mr. Yang Xiying."

After staying at Sabrina's house for a day or two, Yang Xiying set off for Celadon City and arrived at the Celadon City Pokémon Center in just one morning!

After resting for a while, we headed to the Celadon Dojo in Celadon City, since it was already early December.

He only had four gym badges, so he had to catch up, which is why he came to the Rainbow Gym.

—However, the receptionist here seemed to recognize me.

"Yes, that's me," Yang Xiying said, feeling that the dojo had been waiting for her for a long time. She then glanced at the older woman and asked.

"...So, is she the younger sister of the reception staff at the other dojos?" Although this time, the bronze-skinned, white-haired, sunglasses-wearing man was not at the Yuhong Dojo.

—But there was a woman with bronze skin, white hair, and sunglasses.

"Yes, I am the sister of the receptionist at the Saffron City Gym."

“Well, your family has really strong genes.”

PS: Update!

NO.276 and 277 are Stands of the same type...

"Oh my, it's truly an exciting honor to have someone as powerful as you grace my humble abode. Mr. Yang, are you so eager to fight me?"

As is widely known, the Rainbow Gym is a Pokémon Gym where all positions are held by women.

So Yang Xiying chose to skip life... oops, skip the forest maze—the venue of Yuhong Dojo is an artificial botanical garden.

The Level 1 Gym Trial involves navigating through the Botanical Garden maze to reach Rika, where you must defeat five Gym Leaders.

Well, with Miss Rika's words, he felt he couldn't handle it, so he skipped it and took a shortcut to Rika using a few badges.

Yang Xiying avoided the female gym leader in the forest maze, and then saw the gym leader Rika deep in the botanical garden.

Lijia, who was leaning against the tree with a pillow, noticed Yang Xiying, but she didn't expect that the other side would appear in front of her so quickly.

After all, she knew exactly when he entered the room; only a few minutes had passed since he entered.

Even if someone is incredibly strong, it's impossible for them to pass a Level 1 gym trial so quickly, so this person must have skipped that trial.

"After all, I dare not neglect Miss Lijia's urging, and it has been more than a week since your last invitation."

Yang Xiying responded in this way.

"I'm a bit busy, sorry."

"It's alright, your own affairs are more important, and I also heard that you went to the United States."

Lijia shook her head and responded with a smile.

"There are quite a few beautiful Grass-type Pokémon there, so I'd like to ask you about your experience there."

"—But let's leave these things for after the battle."

“Okay, let’s start the battle now,” Yang Xiying nodded, while Lijia spoke up somewhat shyly.

"Um... I'm sorry, it's a bit inconvenient for me to fight right now," Yang Xiying was stunned by these words, "Huh?"

“Because I’m the type of person who gets sleepy easily,” Rika replied in a slightly lazy tone, “so I want to sleep a little longer.”

"..." Yang Xiying's expression was subtle. So that's why you put the cushions under the tree. But Lijia did have that setting.

"Furthermore, I've been looking forward to a full-fledged battle with Mr. Yang, so it will be difficult to fight you with all my might if I don't replenish my energy."

Lijia continued speaking.

"So, Mr. Yang, why don't you go and challenge the Level 1 Dojo Trial first before you compete against me? After all, I'm still quite embarrassed to show a smile in front of a respected guest."

"..." Yang Xiying's expression was strange. Why do you think he skipped the Level 1 Dojo Trial?

But they've already gone this far...

Yang Xiying didn't think that Lijia had asked her to challenge the Level 1 gym trial because she was sleepy.

Since she was asked to take on this challenge, Yang Xiying felt that her opponent wanted to deduce her fighting style by having her fight against others.

This is how you can obtain valuable intelligence to fight against yourself. Of course, on the surface, it's to help trainers who challenge this place get familiar with the local rhythm.

—Speculate on what Pokémon the Gym Leader might use.

"I understand. Don't blame me if anything happens."

Yang Xiying took a deep breath and walked towards the artificial forest maze amidst Lijia's smiling expression. He decided not to skip the Level 1 gym trial!

However, this is a merciless massacre for Gym Leaders who can only use level-restricted Pokémon.

"Oh my, what a handsome young man is here to challenge us! How about we go on a date after the competition?"

The first gym leader Yang Xiying encountered in the maze was a stylish blonde with long, wavy hair, carrying a designer handbag.

It's clearly the design of a mature older sister from a Pokémon game; this kind of woman has a somewhat carnivorous feel to her.

—After all, this person's words were full of provocative undertones.

“…If you let me win, I’ll make a date with you,” Yang Xiying raised an eyebrow. If he won, he would have no choice but to make the date.

"Oh, that's a shame. I'm a Gym Leader, so I can't hold back."

"...And I prefer to be in control, so if I win, buddy, let's go on a date."

The blonde, wavy-haired woman chuckled as she spoke, simultaneously revealing her trainer card to battle against Yang Xiying's trainer card!

Then she sent out a level 20 Shuttlecock to face a level 50+ Crossbat. Wait, what level is your Crossbat?!

Big Waves thought the person in front of her was a bit shameless, but losing wouldn't be bad if she could go on a date with such a handsome guy.

Perhaps this is more than just a date...

In the end, the older sister lost the match because the opponent's Crobat was too unfairly strong, so she expressed this feeling after losing.

—At the same time, he gave a meaningful look to the young figure who was heading deep into the maze.

Next, Yang Xiying challenged other Pokémon trainers around her, all of whom were legally legal Pokémon trainers.

There were women dressed as rangers, women with shoulder-length short hair dressed in similar fashionable outfits to the blonde woman with big wavy hair, and a blonde woman with a ponytail.

There were also athletic young women with high ponytails, to the point that Yang Xiying began to doubt whether she could handle the whole thing...

However, he faced no obstacles in challenging Rika, and Yang Xiying returned to the gym leader Rika.

“The Level 1 Dojo Trial is indeed no problem for Mr. Yang,” Rika said at this moment.

She had indeed glanced at Yang Xiying's battles with the other gym trainers; a Crobat at level 50 was indeed acting rather unruly.

So far, Yang Xiying has only revealed Crobat in her lineup, and nothing is known about the other Pokémon.

"The Level 2 Dojo Trial is a Level 30 3v3 Master Duel, no problem, right?" In the end, he still had to go himself. "Mr. Yang."

“Of course,” Yang Xiying showed her trainer card, and then collided with Lijia’s trainer card to enter the other-dimensional battle arena!

Because it is a botanical garden, the battlefield of the other dimension appears quite natural, with vegetation covering the surrounding area.

Some of them had even blossomed, making it feel like springtime. Yang Xiying and Lijia were about to fight in a vast area surrounded by trees.

Both sides began to set up their three Pokémon for the match. Once everything was ready, the stick figure in the pink suit announced the start of the game!

"I'm counting on you now, Giant Vine!"

"You lead the charge, Giant Vine!"

Yang Xiying led the charge with her giant vines, and Lijia also sent out her giant vines. Lijia looked surprised when she saw this.

"Oh, so it's not the Crossbat leading the charge this time?" Lijia was somewhat surprised to see Yang Xiying send out a giant vine.

—Her starting lineup, Giant Vine, was specifically designed to counter the potential starting Crobat...

“After all, Miss Rika has already experienced the power of the Crossbat many times,” Yang Xiying said with a slight smile.

Yang Xiying had been on guard against it ever since Lijia revealed the Wind Fairy, because that thing was really troublesome.

Prankster has a bunch of disgusting moves, and you need to use Dark-type Pokémon to prevent it, but this guy also has a Fairy-type.

Knowing a fairy-attribute move, Yang Xiying didn't dare to use her Soul-Hooking Eye indiscriminately against enemies.
