Fuyan Town.
Backed by mountains, it is a metropolis famous for its hot springs.
"Then let's go take a hot spring bath first, Xiaozhi!" Xiaoyao and others said in bathrobes.
"Okay, I'll go to the gym first."
"Yeah, we'll come find you right after we finish soaking!"
"OK."
After saying hello, Xiaozhi left with Pikachu.
There are various hot springs in this city, and everyone showed interest when they first arrived here.
So Xiaozhi suggested that everyone should experience it for themselves while he went to the gym alone first.
As for the Pokémon, they were all handed over to Miss Joy upon arrival.
Xiaozhi chose Swampert, Smurf, and Rocklid, the three friends with the fastest recovery, to take on the gym challenge.
But just as he followed the instructions and arrived at the gym, he saw a girl with her clothes on fire running around in panic.
"It's so hot, so hot, so hot!"
"Swampjumper, use water gun!"
"Ma Kuo!"
The thick water gun splashed on the other person's face. She blinked her eyes in confusion and immediately came to her senses!
"Saved."
She reached out and ripped open the burnt coat, revealing her impressive figure.
The mature slime was wrapped in a black belly-baring short T-shirt, with red hair tied behind her head and a ponytail that seemed to be split in four directions.
This is the type Xiaogang likes.
Xiaozhi thought for sure in his heart.
"Thank you!"
The other person walked up to Xiaozhi and thanked him, "My name is Yasha. I was just helping Mag and Mei with their evolution training. I didn't expect to be affected by the flames."
"Hello, my name is Xiaozhi."
"Xiaozhi?"
Yasha put her fingers on her chin and thought, it seemed like she had heard this name somewhere before!
"This is my partner, Pikachu."
"Pikapi!"
"Pikachu!" Yasha finally remembered and said with her big eyes wide open, "The strongest rookie trainer?"
Almost forgot this...
Xiaozhi curled the corner of his mouth. It seems that this young lady likes to read news and gossip.
"That Charizard of yours is really powerful, I love it so much!"
Asha: (✧∇✧)
"Can you please sign an autograph for me?"
This isn't the type I'm good at dealing with...
"Well, actually I'm here to challenge the gym's trainer."
Xiaozhi maintained an awkward yet polite smile, and really didn't want to continue the topic.
"Gym challenge?"
Yasha was slightly stunned, and then became very excited, "Finally there is a gym challenge to play, and it's with Xiaozhi, I'm so excited!"
As she said that, she threw the treasure ball directly and said, "Come out quickly, Coal Turtle!"
"Kuo!"
A tortoise with five red depressions around its shell and a predominantly orange-brown body was released.
Coal Turtle
Gender:♦
Level: 39
Attribute: Fire
Features: White smoke
Race value: 470
Qualification: Light blue
Skills: Iron Wall, Flame Jet, Burning...
Xiaozhi took a look and found that this coal turtle was bred quite well, the only pity was that it had not reached level 40.
"Look, Coal Turtle, there's coal!"
Yasha took out a piece of coal and threw it out. After eating the coal turtle, thick black smoke spewed out of its back and nostrils.
"Yeah! Coal Turtle, in great shape!"
Yasha happily raised two fingers, full of momentum!
"Okay, Coal Turtle, you have to fight a fierce battle for Grandpa!"
Looking at her like this, could it be...
"Excuse me, do we want to start the fight here?"
Xiaozhi kindly reminded her, and Asha finally realized what was happening. She scratched her head a little embarrassedly, "That's right, the general gym challenge is to be held in a battle arena."
Isn't this common sense?
Xiaozhi was speechless, but it would be even more troublesome to follow her to the battle field.
It's very bumpy and messy.
"Ah! I remember now. During the last gym challenge, the opponent's Pokémon kept using the digging move!"
Yasha explained, her shoulders drooping in embarrassment, "I'm sorry, I was so busy training the lava worms that I forgot to repair the venue."
The handsome guy was speechless.
It was indeed not appropriate to fight in this situation, so Yasha invited Xiaozhi to the dojo and poured him a cup of tea.
"Does this mean that today is Yasa's first day as a gym trainer?"
Xiaozhi looked a little surprised, as the situation didn't seem to be like this in his memory.
From the conversation just now.
The former gym trainer, Grandpa Mura, will practice with everyone today, and now he is out catching up with old friends.
As for Yasa, she has watched her grandfather run a gym since she was a child, so she has always been looking forward to taking over.
But relatively speaking, my grandfather took over rather suddenly because he wanted to write Pokémon Kawase and had to go traveling.
However, thinking that she could finally fight against the challengers, she worked so diligently to provide evolutionary training to Mag and Meg.
Incidentally, these are the names of the two lava worms.
"That's the thing. Actually, to be precise, we just finished the ceremony today."
Yasha scratched the back of her head and said embarrassedly.
Looking at her big eyes which were clear yet a little silly, Xiaozhi felt that this Grandpa Mula was quite generous.
But before he could say anything, an angry voice rang out from the door.
"Asha!"
What came into view was an old man with curly gray hair and an unhappy face. In his hand was the burnt coat that Yasha was wearing when she entered the room just now.
Moreover, Xiaogang and the other three also followed in.
"Xiao Gang, did you finish the hot spring bath so soon?"
"Well, because Xiaosheng and Xiaoyao still wanted to come and cheer you up soon, we met Grandpa Mula on the way, and he brought us here."
Xiaozhi nodded when he heard that. What a coincidence.
"By the way, Asha, how many coats have you burned this month?"
"It's good to be enthusiastic about training, but it's not okay for you to be careless all the time!"
On the other side, Grandpa Mula had already pulled his granddaughter to her knees and started scolding her.
"Yes, Grandpa..."
Yasha lowered her head like a child who had done something wrong, she was still very afraid of her grandfather.
Seeing that he had learned his lesson, and remembering that it would be embarrassing to have guests around, Grandpa Mula stopped his chattering.
"I'm sorry for making a fool of myself in front of you all!"
As soon as Grandpa Mula finished speaking, Xiaogang jumped up and grabbed his hand.
"That's not the case. If you don't suggest it, please let me respectfully call you grandpa..."
Xiaosheng pulled his ears familiarly and dragged him aside, "Okay, okay, don't recognize relatives randomly, just call Mula Grandpa."
Grandpa Mura:…
Asha: ? ?
"that…"
Xiaoyao, who had a question, diverted everyone's attention, "If both trainers are here, who will challenge Xiaozhi in the gym?"
"Well..."
The question hits the point, but looking at the expressions of the grandfather and grandson, it seems that they have not considered this issue.
Finally, Xiaozhi suggested that Asha could fight against him.
However, since he has always admired Grandpa Mura, he hopes to fight with Infernape if possible.
Everyone loves a compliment, so Grandpa Mula immediately agreed to the proposal.
In the end, Infernape's Pokéball was given to Asha, and this gym challenge was set as a four-on-four elimination match.
"But, regarding the venue…"
Yasha hesitated to speak, and after explaining the situation, she was scolded by Grandpa Mula.
"It's okay. We can just help together about this."
Xiaozhi is already impatient to earn... no, the challenge competition.
"Will this be too much trouble for you?"
"Don't worry about that, Miss Yasha. It's no trouble, no trouble. Please send these useless guys as you please!"
Xiaogang rushed out again and knelt on one knee.
This made Xiaozhi and others look very unhappy. Who are you saying is useless? It's you!
