Not a Trainer This Time

Chapter 573: After all the hard work to defeat Pikachu, the next step is...!

Two days later, Niangguang City, Niangguang Gymnasium.

Naoki sat in the gym leader's seat and looked at the list of trainers who had signed up for the gym battle sent by the gym staff.

"Because Niangguang Gym has not been open for three days, there have been several trainers here who came to challenge the gym..." Anya, the receptionist of Niangguang Gym, said.

She looked at the trainer in front of her. He was Naoki, the husband of their gym leader, right?

From what I heard above, it was because Qishu was pregnant and Naoki couldn't bear her traveling back and forth, so he took the initiative to come over and help his wife.

Their owner has met a good man! Anya thought.

"It's okay. We should be able to finish all the battles in one morning."

As he spoke, Naoki's eyes swept across the tablet screen, and what came into view was the information of the five trainers.

[Name: Renshou, Hometown: Galar Region, Number of gym badges collected: 5, Resume: Participated in the Galar Champions Cup and entered the top 16. 】

[Name: Xiaoyue, Hometown: Padia Region, Number of Gym Badges Collected: 3, Resume: None. 】

[Name: Jingtian, hometown: Fengyuan area, number of gym badges collected: 6, resume: semi-finalist of Caiyou Conference, semi-finalist of Silver Conference]

[Name: Corycia, Hometown: Padia Region, Number of Gym Badges Collected: 0, Resume: None]

[Name: Tangerine, Hometown: Padia Region, Number of Gym Badges Collected: 1, Resume: None]

"Huh? There is actually a challenger with such a rich resume." Looking at the information of the trainer named Kageda, Naoki was a little surprised.

The top four in the Aiyou Tournament and the top four in the Silver Tournament are already considered the best among trainers in the Pokémon world.

"Gym Master, we have sent the message of the Gym Master's return to those trainers in advance this morning. They have now arrived at the gym. Do they want to start accepting the challenge?" Anya asked.

"Okay." Naoki stood up and left the Niangguang Gym, heading to the central square of Nianguang City, where the gym competition was held.

When he arrived, the central square was already crowded with curious spectators.

Most of these people were fans of Qishu, but when they saw that the person standing in the gym leader's position was not Qishu, but a man, they were stunned.

"What's going on? Where is Qishu?"

"The leader of Niangguang Gym has been replaced?"

"This person seems to be Qishu's husband! I saw Qishu's post. She said she was pregnant, so she asked her husband to come and take over."

"If I remember correctly, he seems to be a rancher who runs a ranch in the countryside, right? Can he really do this job?"

"He's not an ordinary rancher!"

There was a murmur from the audience.

The sound was too noisy, and Naoki couldn't hear it clearly, and he didn't listen deliberately.

He took out his Rotom phone, logged into Qishu's anchor account, and then started the live broadcast.

The next second, Naoki saw a series of question marks flashing across the barrage.

"..." After a moment of silence, he said: "I'm sorry, I'm not very good at mobilizing program effects, and I don't know much about live broadcasts, but for her sake, let's fight."

After saying that, Rotom's mobile phone flew into the air and began to take pictures of the battlefield below.

At this time, the first challenger also walked out of the opposite player channel.

It was a young man wearing a black coat, with short black hair, and a proud expression. He looked cool and powerful.

This person's name is Jingtian, a native of the Fengyuan area. He has participated in two league competitions and entered the semi-finals in both.

It is obvious that he is not a newcomer with such a record. In this case, let's use 3v3 to decide the winner!

"Welcome to the Niangguang Gym. I am Naoki, the gym leader. I will fight you next. The rules of the game are 3v3. If you defeat my three Pokémon, then this Lightning The badge belongs to you," Naoki said.

"Then let me see the strength of Niangguang Gym!" Jingtian looked arrogant. His strength had already surpassed the gym leader level. He said he came to challenge the gym, but in fact he just came to go through the process. It's just a Pokémon battle with those strong ones in the league competition.

Along the way, he got the badges of every gymnasium without much effort. He still had two badges left before he could step onto the stage of the Padia Conference.

Hearing the tone of the boy across from him, Naoki narrowed his eyes. The person coming here is evil!

Sure enough, just as he expected, the young man moved his wrist and an elf ball flew into the air.

A beam of white light shot out from the Poké Ball, and then, a huge Pokémon covered in an armor-like green shell crashed onto the field.

Under the influence of the power of sand, an invisible breeze was set off on the field, carrying wisps of sand and dust and sweeping across the entire battlefield.

The weather has turned into a sandstorm!

That's... a Bangila with "sand-blowing" characteristics!

The audience felt deeply shocked the moment Banjila appeared on the scene, and some even had to retreat to an area away from the fighting due to the impact of the sandstorm.

Every movement of Banjira looks domineering, and the sand and dust are constantly floating around it, as if it is a born desert tyrant.

Bangira, a quasi-god Pokémon from the Johto region, has rock + evil attributes and is extremely resistant to electric-type Pokémon.

Does this person want to use his strongest Pokémon to get the gym badge directly?

"That's not that easy." Naoki threw the poke ball in his hand: "Pikachu, I'm leaving it to you!"

A white light flashed, and Pikachu appeared on the battlefield.

The first gym battle in Niangguang Gym, Bangira vs. Pikachu, has officially begun!

"Banjira, earthquake!"

At the beginning of the battle, Jingtian started the offensive mode without mercy. Bangira looked up to the sky and let out a loud roar, and stamped its right foot on the ground.

"Boom!"

The strong shock shattered the earth in an instant, and a deep crack opened in the middle. Terrifying earth energy spewed out from it, attacking Pikachu swiftly and domineeringly.

"Pikachu, move at high speed!" Facing the earthquake that was chasing after him, Naoki chose to let Pikachu strengthen his speed.

Facing Bangira's powerful attack, Pikachu's body lit up with a faint blue light. It turned around and began to run on the field at extremely fast speeds.

The ground where Pikachu passed opened a crack, and terrifying energy spurted out, following Pikachu closely.

"It's no use."

"The attack range of the earthquake is so large, and the venue is so small, no matter what, it is impossible for your Pikachu to run out of the battle field."

Kageta looked at the scene calmly, as if it was only a matter of time before Pikachu was defeated by the earthquake.

Pikachu's figure continued to intersect on the field, and at this moment, its speed became faster and faster, so fast that it almost left an afterimage on the ground.

Pikachu's speed drove a large airflow, and the sandstorm raised by Bangira began to gather rapidly under the action of the airflow, forming a huge sandstorm ball!

"As expected of a clone of Pikachu!" Naoki narrowed his eyes: "Now, Pikachu, jump up and use the electric ball!"

After hearing the instruction, Pikachu looked back at the cracked earth, then jumped up suddenly, leaping high into the air. At the same time, countless electric currents began to rapidly gather towards its tail, and finally condensed into a huge electric ball.

Pikachu's body spun in mid-air, and its tail suddenly exerted force, throwing out the yellow electric ball like a table tennis racket.

The electric ball fell on the sandstorm ball and collided with the oncoming earthquake shock wave. In an instant, a violent explosion occurred.

The explosion set off a strong shock wave, and all the condensed sandstorm weather was dispersed by this shock wave!

"Huh? What's going on?"

"Use the airflow generated when Pikachu moves at high speed to gather sandstorms, and then use the force generated by the collision of electric **** and earthquakes to disperse the sand and dust on the field?" In just a moment, Kageda realized that this gym leader was extraordinary.

"Banjira, another earthquake!"

"Pikachu, rush over and use Iron Tail!"

After moving at high speed, Pikachu's speed became extremely exaggerated. Before Bangira's earthquake movement even raised his hand, Pikachu arrived in front of it.

The lightning-shaped tail condensed with steel light and hit Bangila's head fiercely.

The huge force made Bangila stagger, but he did not fall.

"We can no longer use earthquakes at such a close distance!"

"Banjila, bite it into pieces!"

"Pikachu, Iron Tail again!"

A faint light flashed in Bangira's mouth, and his huge body suddenly approached Pikachu. Pikachu faced him, a beam of white light lit up on his tail, and then he slapped Bangira hard in the mouth.

This force almost shattered Bandera's teeth. However, Kageda's Bandera was extremely powerful. He quickly regained his composure and quickly adjusted his state. The thick tail swept out and knocked Pikachu away. .

Pikachu let out a cry of pain, fell to the ground and rolled around for several times.

"Banjila, another earthquake!" Jingtian frowned.

Banjira roared, and huge power of the earth poured from it into the earth crazily.

For a moment, the earth began to shake violently. The majestic energy opened up the surface of the earth. The ground cracked rapidly, and the cracks continued to spread towards Pikachu's position.

This time, Pikachu can't escape!

With a "boom", Pikachu's body was blown away by the earthquake and fell to the ground, losing its ability to fight.

Naoki: "..." Sure enough, it still doesn't work!

He remembered that in the anime, Ash's Pikachu had defeated many Banderas, and even Ailan's Banderas were defeated by it.

Maybe it's because this Pikachu was cloned too early?

In addition, Xiaozhi's Pikachu later followed Xiaozhi to compete in many places, and this Pikachu was brought to the World Tree by Chaomeng to live a quiet life...

"Pikachu lost the ability to fight, and Player Kageda won the first battle!" The referee checked Pikachu's status, and then announced the result: "Do Player Kageda want to change Pokémon?"

"No need." Jingtian looked at the gym leader opposite, thinking that although the opponent's tactics and real-time command capabilities were very good, the Pokémon's strength was still a little behind.

Even if he defeated his Bangira, he still had other more powerful Pokémon.

If nothing else goes wrong, I can successfully obtain this gym badge.

Niangguang Gym is nothing more than that.

Jingtian is determined to win.

Naoki on the other side sighed in his heart.

Who should be sent out next?

Reib? With Reib's lazy appearance and little experience in training and fighting, even if he appeared on the field, he would probably be instantly killed by the earthquake of that Banjira.

I don’t really want this out-of-town challenger to get the gym badge so easily!

Since Sakaki can use Armored Mewtwo to face challengers, it shouldn't be too much for him to send this Pokémon now, right?

Thinking of this, Naoki took out a Poke Ball from his waist.

With a flash of white light, a bird Pokémon with sharp eyes and yellow feathers appeared on the battlefield.

The sizzling electricity shot out from its feathers.

In an instant, the sky changed suddenly, and dark clouds gathered in the originally clear sky. Terrifying thunder and lightning continued to surge in them. With a roar, lightning illuminated the dark clouds.

Seeing this, the onlookers in the square opened their eyes instantly.

That Pokémon is...? !

The legendary God of Thunder, Lightning Bird!

The audience in the live broadcast room also saw this scene. For a while, a series of question marks slid across the barrage crazily.

Kageda recognized the Pokémon at a glance. He had traveled in the Johto area and nearby islands, so he had naturally heard of the legend of the God of Thunder.

And now...the God of Thunder has appeared here!

What is going on? This gym leader actually owns a Pokémon like Zapdos!

Jingtian opened his eyes wide, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

Although there has not yet been a Pokémon battle, judging from the ability of the Zapdos to cause changes in the sky as soon as it appears, it is definitely not something that ordinary Pokémon can do!

Its strength has probably exceeded the Hall Master level and reached the Heavenly King level or even higher!

"I have read your information. You have participated in the Silver Tournament in the Johto area and the Caiyou Tournament in the Hoenn area, and won the top four in both."

In Jingtian's stunned expression, Naoki showed a smile on his face, and then praised:

"You are an amazing trainer, but sometimes great strength can make people forget their true nature, become proud and complacent, and despise others. Therefore, I will use all my strength to accept you. challenge!”

“…”

“…”

“…”

At this point, we can only bite the bullet!

The second battle officially begins.

"Banjira, destroy the light!"

Bangila opened its mouth wide, and the blazing milky white energy quickly gathered in its mouth, and then turned into a thick beam of light, shooting out with a bang.

"Avoid."

The Lightning Bird flapped its wings and adjusted its body shape, dodging it easily. It flew towards Bangira, and when Zhi Shu thundered, a dazzling electric light burst out from its whole body.

In an instant, the thunderclouds in mid-air seemed to have been summoned, and the terrifying thunder and lightning contained in them brewed rapidly, and finally turned into a huge beam of lightning, crashing from the clouds to the ground.

Bangila's body was instantly swallowed up by the lightning.

Outside the square, a pink-haired girl looked at the scene with a blank face.

In her arms she held a petite Larurus.

The girl's name is Klisia. She just turned ten this year. She embarked on a journey with her initial Pokémon Lalulas, and this Light-Breaking Gym was the first gym they were ready to challenge.

But now...

Lalulas looked up at her trainer with some uncertainty and made a weak sound.

"Lalu...?"

It will go up and fight that Pokémon later. Is it true?
