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

—Naturally, they became sparring partners.

"Is this... like this?"

As the evolved Infernape remained motionless, its crimson eyes curving into crescents in a smile, the group of people were somewhat lost in thought.

"So, you know that Primeape can evolve, huh?" The swimsuit-clad woman who had previously been Yang Xiying's rival couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, I am very grateful to you for being my sparring partner. It was through this that my Infernape was able to evolve into Outcast."

Yang Xiying responded with a smile, now her own Fiery Monkey has completely formed excellent fighting power, because the Abandoned Monkey is undoubtedly strong!

Its base stats jumped to over 500. Although its speed stat dropped by 5 points, its HP, physical attack, physical defense, and special defense all saw a significant increase.

It's the kind of character that can both fight and withstand attacks; combined with its incredible skill pool, its combat power has reached an extremely abnormal level.

"Professor Oak would be very happy if we reported this news to him."

Because he wasn't sure if it could evolve, he didn't spread the word widely. All that's known now is that Kanako and Kirika are red, blue, and green.

"...Professor Oak? Do you still know that big shot, Professor Oak?" Xiaoxia, standing in the audience, couldn't help but ask.

That person is a big shot in Kanto, and he even lives in Pallet Town. I've recently been quite impressed by the trainers who came from there.

“Yes, he took good care of me when I was in Zhenxin Town,” Yang Xiying nodded, then smiled at Xiaoxia over there.

"Alright, now that I've defeated the trainer in the pool, I should be qualified to ask Miss Misty for some pointers, right?"

Having just defeated the swimsuit-clad older sister, who was the final challenge in the Level 1 Hall Trial, Yang Xiying has now successfully advanced.

"Hmph, you do have some skill. If you want my guidance, then move forward a little further," Xiaoxia snorted lightly, then revealed a slight smile.

"—You troublemaker."

"...Are you still going to call me a troublemaker at a time like this?" Yang Xiying's expression was somewhat subtle, and the teasing tone from the other party made everyone around her look like there was a story behind it.

"Stop nagging. I haven't even settled the score with you for ruining my plans yesterday. If you want me to change my mind, then continue to challenge the Level 2 Gym Trials."

Xiaoxia was also urging Yang Xiying to participate in the Level 2 Dojo Trial with her, which made the people around them quite gossipy.

—The owner of the relationship advice center knew this person before…

"……I see."

Although being called a troublemaker by a pretty girl didn't break his defenses and even felt quite good, he wanted her to keep calling him that.

But rationally, she felt it was better not to say anything unnecessary; Xiaoxia's words had already made those around her feel that there was going to be a good show to watch.

The interdimensional space was deactivated, and Yang Xiying headed towards the end of the pool. At that moment, she was pulled back by her former opponent, an older woman.

"Remember to wait for me later," a gentle voice came to Yang Xiying's ear, and only he could hear it.

"……it is good."

Yang Xiying's expression was subtle. She had indeed just defeated the three older sisters, which was why all three of them had pulled her aside to whisper to her.

"What are you still dawdling about? Even collecting the defeat gifts shouldn't take this long," Xiaoxia said, becoming impatient.

She had seen Yang Xiying talk to her family's female dojo trainer three times already, even though it was her family who took the initiative to approach her.

But he didn't look like someone accepting a defeat gift. How could such a casual guy attract girls' attention?

It's definitely cool, and the Pokémon battles are pretty skillful...

"Hey bro, good luck!"

Before Yang Xiying could react, the swimsuit-clad woman suddenly looked at her with a playful smile.

“…I will,” Yang Xiying said strangely, feeling that the cheers from the other side had many layers of meaning.

Yang Xiying climbed out of the pool and came to stand in front of Xiaoxia, while the other side showed her trainer card.

"The rule guide should have told you that the Level 2 gym challenge is a 3-on-3 Master 30 duel with me."

"So I don't need to explain too much about this. Do you need to resupply the Pokémon you just battled beforehand?"

“I’ve already prepared the Pokémon I’ll battle with,” Yang Xiying said with a smirk, to which Xiaoxia raised an eyebrow in response.

—Does this mean we're going to battle with a different Pokémon than before?

"Alright, let's get started now. I'll show you how powerful my Water-type Pokémon are!"

At that moment, Xiaoxia threw out her Trainer Card, and Yang Xiying also threw out her Trainer Card to overlap with it.

The master battle between the two gym leaders officially begins at this moment. Both sides arrive at the Dimensional Arena and then log in their Pokémon.

"Alright! Pokémon Battle! Ready Go—!!!" The black stick figure in the arena raised his hands high, announcing the start of the match!

P.S.: First update! Fifteen more updates to come!

NO.151+152 Rainy Day Battle Story...

"Go, Peacock!"

As the Gym Leader, Misty also sent out her first Pokémon at this moment, which was a bird that looked like a pelican.

The bird has a very large yellow beak, its chin is almost connected to its body, and its feathers are mostly white with blue tips.

Its eyes are black, but their design gives it a doll-like feel from the moment it appears.

My whole body began to emit moisture, which drifted in the air, and dense clouds gathered together and it started to rain.

Besides the people in the audience, Yang Xiying and Xiaoxia were also bathed in the cool rain, and they somewhat understood what it felt like to wear swimsuits here.

"Oh! That's a gull with rain-fighting properties! It seems like Misty is about to get serious!"

The onlookers also showed expressions of surprise. Pelipper, a waterfowl Pokémon with the Water/Flying type, is a species from the Hoenn region.

There are numerous sightings only on the sea off the coast of Vermilion City, and Misty happened to be passing by there and caught one.

Its special characteristic is its powerful rain-generating ability; once it appears, it can directly change the weather to rain!

This is much more useful than rainmaking, but this trait is extremely rare. Before Pelipper, only Poliwag had this trait!

Because of this, many people have started to catch big-billed gulls, but nearly 90% of big-billed gulls are not caught.

—To acquire this characteristic, further cultivation is required.

"Oh? Geyora? You have a pretty good Pokémon," Yang Xiying raised an eyebrow, not expecting the other side to have such a Pokémon.

"My Pokémon's name is displayed on the screen... Why are you suddenly bringing up legendary Pokémon from the Hoenn region?"

Yang Xiying's words made Xiaoxia a little uncomfortable, while the other side responded with a teasing tone.

"Legend has it that Kyogre possesses the power to generate massive rain clouds that can cover the entire sky and unleash torrential rain."

"It might be the rain-inducing characteristic, and the Great Peacock, which also has the rain-inducing characteristic, could be considered Kyogre."

"A pun, huh? But you seem to know quite a bit about Water-type Pokémon," Xiaoxia said speechlessly, then changed the subject.

She had witnessed Yang Xiying's previous challenges to the dojos, and Yang Xiying completely avoided the traps set by the dojo trainers.

This trap is naturally due to its herbivorous and lightning rod properties, which means that both Marill and Goldeen have ways to deal with it.

Now, listening to him talk so eloquently about the Pelipper, it seems he knows quite a lot and isn't just a nuisance...

"I know a little bit," Yang Xiying said with a slight smile, then tossed out her Poké Ball. "Forretress! You'll be the one to go first!"

Yang Xiying dispatched his forever vanguard brother, Foretos!

“Forretress…” Misty frowned slightly as she looked at the first Pokémon Yang Xiying sent out. “She’s definitely prepared…”

She knew about Foretrus, a creature that could be found in the forest, and that protecting it from both its self-destruct and sturdy traits was very troublesome.

Most importantly, it is Bug + Steel type, and its only weakness is Fire, so it is very suitable for the opponent to come out at this time!

—Because fire-attribute moves are halved in power when it rains!

"Puffin! Surf!" But since his gym is a Water-type gym, the moves he uses should naturally fit the theme!

This skill cannot be resisted by the opponent, and in the rain, the power of water-type moves is multiplied by 1.5, plus Pelipper is a water-type!

Therefore, this move can also be very effective. Moreover, Forrettos has low defense, so even Pelipper can take it down.

Most importantly, proactive replacement can easily turn into a passive situation.

"Foretold! Light Screen!" Yang Xiying waved her hand, unleashing a standard opening move to compensate for her lack of special defense!

"Ooh—!" The gull flapped its wings, then swooped down to the ground and charged directly toward Foretus!

Behind it, waves were already rising. As it approached Foretus, the gull rose rapidly, and the waves behind it swept over it!

Foretrus was directly hit by the waves, causing his health bar to drop by 90%, and he also created an invisible wall while injured!

"Light Screen... Pelipper—!" Misty knew that Light Screen could weaken the power of her own special attack moves.

So, Xiaoxia needs to deal with the Light Wall first before she can do anything else, so she plans to continue her attack and take down Foretos.

After all, the Pelipper is faster than the opponent, so there's no point in using the fog-clearing skill that I specially prepared.

—The enemy team definitely has a bunch of support skills at their disposal!

"Hurricane—!!!" This time, Misty chose a Flying-type move because she could gamble on the opponent switching Pokémon.

The opponent's Pokémon is currently low on health, so there's a high chance they'll switch Pokémon. If they do switch and send out a Grass-type Pokémon, then you've made a huge profit.

Although I haven't fully mastered this move yet, and its power is only around 80, it's still better than Air Blade.

—And under rainy weather, the storm is a guaranteed hit!

"Foretrus! Switch hands!" Sure enough, Yang Xiying switched with Foretrus, and the round toy duck landed on the water!

Yang Xiying chose the 3D Dragon2 this time! At that moment, the Pelipper also stirred up a tornado, and the strong wind and water flow directly hit the 3D Dragon2!

—Then deal 10% damage.

"Poliwrath 2...? Pelipper! Clear the fog!"

Looking at the Pokémon Misty across from her, she seemed to be deep in thought. This time, she could clear the thick fog without any worries!

After all, the opponent is slower than me! Even if I get taken down by the opponent's usual Thunderbolt, the mission will still be accomplished.

"Poliwrath 2! Trick Room!" Yang Xiying also gave the command to her Pokémon at this moment, and the two began to move!

The Pelipper created a whirlwind that blew away the surrounding transparent glass walls, while the 3D Dragon 2 emitted a soft pink wave like a Slowpoke!

"Trick Space?!" Seeing the opponent's actions, Xiaoxia immediately showed a bad expression, and Yang Xiying spoke at this moment.

"Judging from your expression, you're definitely planning to fight me with a Pokémon that has the Swift Swim ability," Swift Swim, in the rain, speed doubles!

It pairs best with Pokémon that can bring rain! But it's a bit helpless against Pokémon that can use Trick Room.

—And since the gulls won't be blown away, Yang Xiying can use this move boldly!

"...!"

Xiaoxia's expression darkened slightly. Since she had sent out a Pokémon that could bring rain, she would naturally send out a suitable Pokémon.

However, now that the opponent has figured out her tactics, she can no longer send out Pokémon with the Swift Swim ability at will.

"Puck! Come back!" And this compatibility naturally includes Pokémon that counter Pokémon that are weak to rain!

"Dragon 2! Thunderbolt!"

At this moment, Yang Xiying gave the order: Water/Flying Pokémon are basically one-hit kills when facing Electric-type moves!

The plump duck began to accumulate electricity, and then released a golden beam of light that struck the toucan!

Because of Trick Room, it made the first move, but it still couldn't keep up with the speed at which the opponent switched Pokémon!

Misty switched to a blue Pokémon that looked rather憨厚 (honest and simple), after all, its eyes were just two small dots and its mouth was quite big.

It looks similar to a giant salamander, but it can walk upright, and golden lightning strikes it can hardly cause any damage!

—Because this Pokémon has the Ground type!

Quagsire! A Water/Ground type Pokémon with a carefree nature. When it moves around as it pleases, it always bumps its head on the bottom of a boat.

“Water-flying, water-landing, there’s always a way to deal with the weakness of water attributes,” Yang Xiying couldn’t help but say.

The Pelipper on the other side has an advantage against Grass-types, and the current Quagsire is completely immune to Electric-types!
