Chapter 190
The Red Lotus Gym Battle soon began.
The first to go into battle was still the weakest Lurina.
The rest of the battles followed the old rules, with Serena and the others playing rock-paper-scissors to decide.
"I remember you seemed……"
Seeing that the first one to go into battle was Lurina,
Xia Bo raised his glasses, slightly surprised.
If he remembered correctly, Lurina seemed to be the gym leader of the Galar region.
Was she coming to the Kanto region to hone herself?
"That was before!"
"I have resigned and am now a trainer in the Alola region.
Lurina saw Xia Bo's confusion and gave a simple explanation.
""I see!"
Xia Bo was slightly surprised and nodded.
He did not ask any more questions.
The next moment, a Poké Ball appeared in his hand.
""It's been a long time since we last met, old friend!"
Xia Bo was the first to send out his own Pokémon.
Then, a top gym-level Flareon appeared on the battlefield.
Due to the advance explanation of Serena and the others, Xia Bo naturally knew the strength of Lurina.
Therefore, he sent out a Pokémon with the same strength as Lurina.
Otherwise, he would have considered starting with a Pokémon of the primary to intermediate level of the King.
""Turtle!"
Seeing Xia Bo send out Flareon, Lurina thought for a moment and finally decided to send out Turtle to fight.
Since water-type moves will be affected in this field, she can only hope for other attributes that restrain fire-type.
Rock-type is a good choice.
And Turtle happens to have the attributes of rock-type.
"A violent turtle?"
"It seems that she wants to use moves other than water-type moves!"
Lulina's choice did not fool Xia Bo, a veteran.
As a researcher who knows something about the Galar region, he immediately understood Lulina's intention.
Although the rock-type attribute does restrain him, he is not without a way to deal with it.
""Turtle, rock blockade!"
Lurina, who had the first right to attack, launched an attack decisively.
As soon as she finished speaking, countless huge rocks were gathered by Tortoise.
One after another, huge rocks fell around Flareon's body.
While severely injuring it, it was surrounded by rocks.
As Lurina and Tortoise launched the attack, the first gym battle officially began.
……
"I lost!"
Lurina's fight didn't last too long.
About twenty minutes later, the gym battle came to an end.
However, the person who finally admitted defeat was a little surprising.
Because the loser was not Xia Bo, but Lurina.
Although Lurina's original intention was good, she planned to use other attributes to restrain Xia Bo in order to better win.
However, she was not as familiar with other attribute moves as water moves.
This made her full of flaws in front of the experienced Xia Bo.
First, her Tortoise was defeated by Xia Bo's Flareon.
After that, she used her own Swamp King. After defeating Xia Bo's Flareon by chance, her Swamp King was soon defeated by the Lacerta that Xia Bo sent out in the second round.
If we have to summarize, it can be said that Lurina's loss in this gym battle was not unfair.
Even though Xia Bo had the advantage of terrain,
Xia Bo's rich experience and tactics were even more eye-catching.
This was the real reason for Lurina's defeat.
If Xia Bo had not actively launched an attack, he would have been more of a counter-attack, and gave Lurina, who was a little clumsy in using the moves, guidance.
It is estimated that these two battles would not have taken so long.
It might have been over in ten minutes.
"Thank you!"
Xia Bo nodded slightly.
"You have a lot of experience and good timing."
"If I hadn't been so unskilled in using rock and ground-type moves, the field would have been in my favor."
"The loser should be me."
Xia Bo said modestly. He felt a little embarrassed to let a water trainer fight with him so uncomfortably.
"No, if you lose, you lose!"
Lurina shook her head.
She was not unable to accept her defeat.
God knows how many times she had lost to Serena and the others.
On the contrary, she was very happy about the defeat in this gym battle.
At least, she found another shortcoming of hers.
She needed to practice other attribute moves. She didn't need to master them, but she had to master the accurate usage and the occasions for using them.
Xia Bo admired Lurina's frankness.
"This is proof that you are recognized."
Xia Bo took out the crimson badge of the Red Lotus Gym and asked his duck-billed fire beast to give it to Lurina.
Although Lurina did not defeat him, her performance in the battle and her frankness had won his recognition.
He was also willing to give Lurina this badge.
"this……"
Facing Xia Bo's kindness, Lulina was silent for a moment.
In the end, she accepted the kindness.
"Thank you very much!"
Lurina thanked her.
As a former gym leader, she naturally knew the criteria for issuing gym badges.
Not only those who successfully challenged can get badges.
If a trainer's performance is recognized, he can also be awarded a badge.
In Xia Bo's eyes, she is now that kind of person.
She didn't expect that one day she would get a badge from another gym leader in this way. Thinking of this
, Lurina was a little amused.
She didn't know whether she should be happy or ashamed.
But since Xia Bo gave it to her, it would be better for her to accept it.
In this way, she would not have to challenge Xia Bo separately in the future to get her own crimson badge.
This would inevitably take more time.
She didn't want to delay Qi Yang and Serena's itinerary because of her defeat.
Even if they didn't mind, she didn't want to be a burden.
If she had an idea later, she would ask Qi Yang to send her to the Red Lotus Gym to challenge Xia Bo again.
The victory at that time would make up for this defeat.
……
Put away the crimson badge.
Lulina came to the audience seat where Qi Yang and others were.
"Lost!"
"Lost!"
"Lost!"
"……"
Without waiting for Lurina to say anything,
Xiaolan, Shijiana and Serena started to add insult to injury with a smile.
Mary even said venomously,"Who said I only know water?"
This was what Lurina herself said before the gym battle.
This made Lurina's face turn black. Her smooth forehead was soon covered with""
"You guys!"
"It's fine if you don't comfort me, but you're taking advantage of my misfortune."
Lulina said unhappily.
She knew the source of the hostility of Serena and the others.
However, she still felt a little unhappy.
I just did the same thing as you!
And it was you men who took the initiative to come to me.
"Is there any?"
Salina and the others all pretended to be stupid.
This made Lurina look unhappy again.
""Yang, look at them!"
Lulina buried her head in Qi Yang's arms.
She started to cry to Qi Yang, saying something bad about Serena and the others.
Now, it was Serena and the others' turn to be upset.
Lulina, you can't win the argument, so you complain, right?
You are amazing!
""Okay, stop it!"
Qi Yang patted Lu Lina's head with amusement.
"You guys should hurry up and don't let Xia Bo wait too long."
Qi Yang then said to Serena and the others.
Now that Lulina's gym battle is over. (To read the exciting novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
Next, it's Xiaolan's turn to appear after winning the first prize.
"snort……"
"Watch carefully!"
"Next, it's my turn to perform."
Xiaolan snorted and said to Lulina.
After that, she went straight to the battle site.
"She is a very strong girl!"
As soon as Xiao Lan entered the battle, Xia Bo's eyes under his sunglasses became solemn.
He felt the pressure from Xiao Lan.
Perhaps, this old guy had to go all out!
It's been a long time since I last saw her.
""Then go ahead, old friend!"
Xia Bo sent out his first elf.
The next moment, a peak-level Flame Horse appeared on the battlefield.
This was also his strongest elf.[]
To be honest, his Flame Horse was expected to enter the champion level.
However, because he was obsessed with research, Flame Horse did not pursue too high strength.
In the end, he stopped at the peak of the king and could not go further.
""Top level of the king?"
Xiao Lan raised her eyebrows slightly.
Although it was only a top level of the king, not a champion level, she did not take it lightly.
""Go, Nido!"
Blue sent out his first Pokémon.
It was not his trump card Blastoise, but another Pokémon. Although its strength was not yet at the champion level, it was at the peak of the king level, and was the same as Flamehorse.
"Nidoqueen!"
"It looks like it will be a tough battle indeed!"
Xia Bo sighed slightly.
The young people nowadays are getting stronger and stronger.
Show your best condition.
Xia Bo is about to start the second gym battle with Xiao Lan.
……
"Hahaha……"
"It feels so good!"
"I haven't felt so good in a long time."
An hour later,
Xia Bo's loud laughter came.
At this moment, with the gym battle of the last one to play, Mary, coming to an end and winning.
The gym battles of all the people including Serena have ended.
And the final result is not surprising.
Except for Lurina's defeat at the beginning,
Serena and the others all won.
Among them, the strongest three people, Shijiana, Xiaolan and Serena, were the most relaxed.
On the contrary, Mary and Xiaohuang were in a stalemate with Xia Bo for a while.
But fortunately, they still won without any danger.
"Next, you should challenge the Tokiwa Gym, right?"
After handing the crimson badge to Mary,
Xia Bo asked Mary and Serena.
Although the challenge of the gym is free and not subject to order, but with the strength of Serena and others, they should challenge according to the strength of the gym leader.
This can be revealed from the words of Serena and others during the gym battle just now.
""That's right!"
Mary nodded.
"Then you better be careful!"
""Sakaki is very strong, very strong."
Xia Bo reminded.
Thinking of his former boss Sakaki, he felt a little complicated.
Sakaki's strength should be the strongest trainer he has ever seen.
Even if it is the so-called strongest Ryudo now, he doesn't think Ryudo can definitely beat Sakaki.
Not to mention, Sakaki also holds the legendary beast created by himself and Dr. Fuji - Mewtwo.
I don't know what Mewtwo is like now.
I hope it won't become a tool for killing and destruction by Sakaki and Team Rocket.
"We know!"
"We will prepare well before we go."
Mari nodded.
They were not in a hurry to challenge the last gym, the Changpan Gym. They would wait until their strength was greatly improved.
For example, her and Xiao Huang's strength reached the high level of the king or even the peak of the king.
Salina reached the champion level, and Xiao Lan broke through to the middle level of the champion.
At that time, it would not be too late to challenge again.
This may be difficult for ordinary people.
But for them, it is still very simple.
In addition to the substitutes brought by daily exercise.
Whether it is their abilities, Arceus's slate, Qi Yang's learning device and magical candy... all of these can speed up the improvement of their elves' strength.
On the contrary, they themselves, their vision, tactics and command, must keep up with the progress of the elves.
This is the real test for them.
Fortunately, with Qi Yang by their side, plus the guidance of Sirona before.
This test is not difficult for them.
""Long time no see, Xia Bo!"
When Mary thought so, she heard a telepathic response.
Then she saw that one of Xiao Huang's Pokémon opened automatically.
Armored Mewtwo appeared from it and met Xia Bo.
It was a coincidence that when Xia Bo was talking about Armored Mewtwo, Armored
Mewtwo, who had finished meditation, also noticed a familiar breath.
After some identification, it found that the other party was a special person to it.
One of its creators, its half father - Xia Bo.
If it was before, it might not like Xia Bo, the person who created itself and made it confused.
But now, it is somewhat grateful to Xia Bo.
Grateful to Xia Bo for allowing it to be born in this world, find the meaning of its life and the most important partner.
And... Senior!
""Chao, Mewtwo, is that you?"
Seeing Mewtwo suddenly appear in front of him, Xia Bo was a little bit unbelievable.
Then, he became a little excited.
He didn't expect that he would see Mewtwo again one day.
What shocked him even more was that Mewtwo was actually captured by Xiao Huang?
Could it be that Mewtwo escaped from Team Rocket and finally recognized Xiao Huang as his partner?
"It's me!"
Armored Mewtwo nodded.
"I got my freedom from Sakaki"
"Now, as Xiao Huang's partner, we are on the road to achieving our dreams together."
Armored Mewtwo said.
It briefly explained its current situation.
"Yeah?"
"That's great!"
Xia Bo was happy for Mewtwo.
Although he was curious about the specific process. He wondered why Sakaki gave up Mewtwo.
Or did Mewtwo escape from Sakaki?
But Mewtwo was already on the right path.
And it was no longer a tool of Sakaki and Team Rocket.
