Elf, who made him the gym leader?.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 17 She is the challenger, but I am not?

Understanding the reason why Nidorina was poisoned did give Kaoru a new piece of knowledge, but the battle had to continue.

But how do we fight this?

Nidona was poisoned. For Xunzi, fighting Nidona was a race against death.

The horror of the poison is no joke.

But can Nidorina defeat Crystal Light Bud within this period of time? Xunzi thinks it is difficult.

Although the battle didn't last long, Xunzi felt...

Are the people on the Internet seriously ill? Is this gym giving away badges?

The deepest impression that Gu Xin has left on Xunzi so far is undoubtedly his gentle, polite manners and calm temperament that he maintained from beginning to end.

Such a person is not a simple person no matter how you look at it, and the same is true in the battle.

Nidorina moved her limbs and jumped high, wanting to use her supernatural power trick on Crystal Bud again.

"Venom blast."

But Crystal Bud easily moved back to avoid Nidorina's attack, and the dark purple venom condensed and rushed directly into Nidorina's face.

Nidona groaned in pain, and her whole body was blown away and fell heavily to the ground.

Poison-type venom attack!

The poison-type Nidorina is resistant to Venom Blast, but the power of Venom Blast is doubled when it attacks a poisoned target, so the damage of this Venom Blast on Nidorina is still considerable.

Xunzi was a little anxious, and at this moment, Nidona, who had fallen to the ground and had not even gotten up yet, was lit up with a strange and terrifying deep purple poisonous light.

The frightening poison spots once again covered Nidona's body, and Nidona curled up in agony and screamed in pain.

The second poisonous erosion!

"Nidona..." Sweat broke out on Xunzi's fair forehead because of anxiety and heartache, but she was helpless at the moment.

No matter how she thought about it, this situation...she couldn't break it!

She was very anxious, but she didn't know what to do. This feeling was so torturous!

Gu Xin looked at Xunzi, whose face was a little pale, with a hint of smile in his eyes.

This is the charm of poison-type Pokémon. It is interesting to see the opponent become confused and impatient after being poisoned, but also feel helpless and powerless.

"Tsk~ Gu Xin, this guy! He's still so disgusting!"

"Who are you calling disgusting? This is called a tactic, brother, the gym owner! Huh?"

The girl at the front desk turned around with an unhappy look on her face and retorted, but was stunned when she saw the person who spoke.

"Why are you here?" The girl at the front desk looked at the handsome hedgehog-haired boy wearing a black short-sleeved shirt and jeans not far away with some surprise.

She remembered very clearly that this guy was the young master Xiao Mao who came to challenge her yesterday.

"The gym is a semi-public place, so why can't I come and observe and learn some gym battles?"

Xiao Mao shrugged his shoulders, his nonchalant and careless attitude still full of bitch vibe.

"嘁~"

No matter how much you study, you will never be able to beat the owner, huh~

Although I didn't like this young master who seemed to be superior in every way, he was a guest after all, and...

Well, the girl at the front desk also read the comments under the gym on the official website. Although it is not very popular, this young man still keeps his word and did give the gym a good review.

The girl at the front desk curled her lips and stopped talking to Xiao Mao. Instead, she looked towards the battlefield.

Xiao Mao didn't care about this. After his failure yesterday, he went back and thought about it for a while, but he was still very curious about this gym.

That's why he came to take a look today. He came in when the battle started, but no one noticed him.

"Corrosive properties..."

Xiao Mao leaned against the railing and looked at the crystal bud, lost in thought. In fact, he was really a very smart genius, especially his brain, but generally speaking, he just wanted to show off and seldom used his brain.

"Even steel-type elves won't be able to survive this situation."

Theoretically, the three-in-one steel and electric type Magneto can blast away both good and bad stars, but the Crystal Light Bud with its corrosive properties cannot do that.

Moreover, Gu Xin said it very clearly that the entire series of Crystal Light Buds have corrosive properties, which means that even after the Crystal Light Buds evolve, they still have this property.

How to fight?

Xiao Mao was thinking about team building. Yesterday's crushing defeat was the first time he lost so badly. He knew that the Good Bad Star was not stronger than Squirtle and Caracalla in terms of strength level, but he was defeated without any suspense.

So Xiao Mao has decided that he, the indomitable Ooki Shigeru, must get the badge of the Rota Gym!

On the field.

"Ms. Xunzi."

Xunzi, whose mind was already a little confused, looked at Gu Xin who spoke.

"If you want to be a good trainer, staying calm during battle is the most basic thing."

Gu Xin spoke in a gentle voice, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that Xunzi was very anxious at the moment.

But it's normal, after all, the situation is too bad for Xunzi.

Xunzi was stunned when she heard this, but then she came to her senses and realized that Gu Xin was giving her a reminder.

"...I'm sorry, I made you laugh." Miss Xunzi felt ashamed.

"That's not necessary. Not everyone is born an excellent trainer. People always have to go through a growth process."

"And our gym was set up for this very purpose to deal with challengers like you, Ms. Kaoru."

Gusin shook his head.

Xunzi looked at Gu Xin in a daze when she heard this. Is it possible for a boy of almost the same age as her to say such words?

"I can understand Ms. Xunzi's anxiety in the face of such a situation, but trainers also have the obligation to be responsible for their own Pokémon. Analyzing the battle situation and making the best choice is a necessary quality for a trainer."

Gu Xin reminded Xunzi implicitly.

"I understand."

Xunzi was not stupid, she knew what Gu Xin was reminding her of.

"Come back, Nidona."

Xunzi took back Nidorina. That’s right, no matter how you think about it, Nidorina is no longer suitable to continue fighting against Crystal Bud.

It is necessary to replace the elves reasonably, but...

Xunzi looked at the floating Crystal Light Bud opposite and was in trouble. Which Pokémon should she use to fight the Crystal Light Bud?

It seems that she doesn't have anything particularly suitable in her hands. In fact, she has a rather special trumpet bud, which is also her secret weapon, and it often has miraculous effects.

But it’s no use!

The Crystal Buds will float, and the Trumpet Buds can't get close to me at all, so which elf should I use? Xunzi was very confused.

"It's inevitable that I won't be fully prepared for the first challenge. If Miss Xunzi hasn't found a way to defeat me now, you can challenge me again next time."

Gu Xin naturally understood what was going on when he saw this, and took the opportunity to give the girl in kimono a way out.

"Don't feel embarrassed. The gym challenge is not an official competition. You will have a chance to start over. After all, our gym is meant to hone challengers like you."

After hearing these words, Xunzi, who was a little hesitant, finally made up her mind.

"Yes, I am currently unable to pass your test, Master Guxin. I give up this challenge."

Xunzi bowed slightly to Guxin. This was the first time she expressed her heartfelt gratitude and admiration for a gym leader.

"A wise choice." Gu Xin chuckled.

"Challenger Xunzi forfeits. This match is won by Guxin Gym Master."

The referee announced the result of the fight.

All of Xunzi's cheerleading fans were extremely disappointed, but it was different on the other side.

"Yeah! The owner is awesome! He won again!" The girl at the front desk was very excited.

"Guxin~" Irene was also very happy, her beautiful eyes sparkling with a strange brilliance.

"Thank you very much, Master Guxin. I have benefited a lot from you."

Xunzi didn't feel sad about failing the challenge. Instead, her emotions were stable at the moment, and she even felt a little emotional.

"You're welcome. I'm also happy that challengers can learn and gain insights during the challenge." Gu Xin was very humble.

Xunzi's eyes sparkled. This gym leader! He was handsome, good-tempered, and very capable. How could he be so outstanding?!

"Master Guxin, I am actually very interested in poison-type Pokémons. Could you teach me?"

Xunzi was hesitant and expectant. She was not lying. There were indeed many poison-type Pokémon in her team, but she had never thought of using poison attributes in battle. Most of the time, she used moves of another attribute.

"I don't dare to preach, but I do have some experience with the properties of poisons. I can discuss it with Miss Xunzi." Gu Xin did not refuse. His magnetic and gentle tone did not sound like that of a poison user at all.

"Thank you so much!" Miss Xunzi happily bowed politely to Gu Xin.

"emmm..."

Seeing this scene, Master Xiaomao fell into thought again.

He was not surprised that Xunzi failed in the challenge. After all, the Rota Gym was poisonous. How could it be so easy to succeed in the challenge?

But the key point is that Xunzi's treatment seems to be completely different from his treatment yesterday? Why is Gu Xin so friendly to this woman?

You are comforting me and giving me advice at the same time, but on what basis?

good good!

She is a challenger, but I am not one? How can you treat her differently?

Master Xiaomao is very unhappy!

(End of this chapter)

Master Zhang Guxin, I want to learn this!

Master Xiao Mao left with a grumble in dissatisfaction. As the grandson of Oki Xueshenari, he also grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth.

Although he has been surrounded by his brother's aura since he was a child, his grandfather, sister and brother have all taken good care of him, which has also fostered his rather spoiled character.

But now... Gu Xin's double attitude made him very unhappy!

Obviously, Gu Xin was not so 'considerate' when he fought yesterday, right? Why is he so special to this woman? Regardless of strength or anything else, even if there is to be a special attitude, it should be this young master.

It was obviously me who came here first!

As expected, this Rota Gym must be challenged and cleared!

Before leaving, Xiao Mao glanced at Xunzi, haha~ a trainer with such strength.

Just wait and see, I will definitely get the Rota Gym badge before you!

Of course, Gu Xin was not aware of this and he didn't even notice Xiao Mao coming.

As for why he was special to Xunzi today, it was not because Xunzi was a pretty girl, but mainly because Xunzi was very polite and respected him as the gym leader.

Naturally, Gu Xin didn't mind returning the favor. Gu Xin was just that kind of person. Respect between people was mutual.

The Rota Gym is very large. After the gym battle ended, Xunzi did not leave immediately. After all, she had said that she wanted to ask Guxin for some advice about poison-attribute Pokémon.

"Ms. Xunzi, can you show me your main lineup?"

Before entering the lounge, Gu Xin asked Xunzi.

He wanted to take a look at Xunzi's lineup first. After all, if he wanted to give some advice, he must have a comprehensive understanding first.

"Sure." Xunzi nodded, and then threw out the six Pokémon she carried with her.

"Bellbud, Beedrill, Scyther, Nidorina, Slowpoke, Furball..."

Gu Xin couldn't help but fall silent when looking at this lineup. Xunzi really didn't lie to him. Her lineup was really based on poison attributes.
