Elf, who made him the gym leader?..

Chapter 18: Master Gu Xin, 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.

Because except for Scyther and Slowpoke, the other four Pokémon have poisonous attributes.

But to be honest, the strength of this team is really average, and its development potential is just so-so.

"Master Gu Xin, is there any problem?" Xunzi asked cautiously.

"No, it's not a big problem. Let's go in and talk first. Little sister, take care of these friends."

Gu Xin gestured to Xunzi towards the reception room, and then told the girl at the front desk to take care of Xunzi's cheerleading fans.

"Okay, owner brother." The girl at the front desk was full of energy. She immediately asked the referee for help and took out bottles of drinks and soda from the self-service beverage cabinet in the corner. These were specially prepared for the challengers.

Then the two of them distributed the drinks to the cheerleaders. The cheerleaders were flattered. It was the first time for them to receive such treatment in the gym.

It must be said that his favorability towards Rota Gym suddenly soared, even though his favorite Miss Kaoru had just failed in a challenge.

But failing in a gym challenge is a common thing, and besides, isn’t the handsome gym leader of Rota Gym about to give some pointers to Xunzi?
What a great host!

Irene came over from the spectator seats and accompanied Gu Xin into the lounge.

"Tea or soda?"

Sitting at the tea table, Gu Xin shook the soda in his hand and asked Xunzi.

"Thank you very much, Master Guxin. I love tea."

Xunzi immediately stood up to express her gratitude.

"Don't be so polite, there's not that much age difference between us." Gu Xin chuckled.

"Is Gym Leader Guxin the inherited gym?"

Xunzi took the teacup gracefully, and curiosity rose in her eyes.

This Rota gym is not well-known and its location is relatively remote, not to mention the comments under the gym on the official website of the alliance.

But when you really arrive at Rota Gym, it is no exaggeration to say that this is the most luxurious and grand gym that Xunzi has ever seen. Of course, this only refers to the gym building itself, and the decoration is also extremely luxurious.

Obviously, the Guxin family should be quite wealthy. "Well, my father founded this gym, but recently he and my mother went on a honeymoon trip, so he left the gym to me."

Gu Xin spoke somewhat helplessly.

"I see. However, I believe that with your ability, Master Guxin, you will definitely be able to develop the Rota Gym."

Xunzi said seriously that she had to admit that she had a very good impression of Rota Gym and its owner Guxin at the moment.

"Thank you for your good wishes, Miss Xunzi. Now, I would like to try my best to restore the reputation of the gym." Gu Xin smiled and thanked him.

Xunzi blinked, but it seemed to be true that Rota Gym’s online reputation was not good.

"Ms. Xunzi, do you have any personal opinion on the poison attribute?"

After a brief chat about family matters, Gu Xin went straight to the point and asked Xunzi.

"Poison attribute? I don't know much about it. Are you using poison to defeat your opponent?"

Xunzi thought for a while after hearing this, and then replied hesitantly.

She was just a trainer who had just debuted. Although there were many poison-attribute Pokémon in her team, Xunzi said without exaggeration that this was really just a coincidence...

She herself had never thought about mastering the poison attribute, and she didn't even know much about it.

"That's true, but it's not specific." Gu Xin shook his head.

"In the current trend of trainers, poison attributes are actually very biased. The main reasons why trainers capture Pokémon are nothing more than two reasons."

Gu Xin took a sip of tea and talked freely, while Xunzi sat upright and listened attentively.

"The first is rapport. The bond between Pokémon and trainers is indescribable, and this is also the meaning of travel. The word encounter always carries a romantic color. If you meet a Pokémon you like at first sight, then it is natural to pursue capturing it."

"As for this eye connection, except in special circumstances, the weird appearance of poison-type Pokémon has no advantage."

Gu Xin shrugged his shoulders. This is a big disadvantage for Pokémon with poison attributes, because the appearance of Pokémon with poison attributes does not conform to the public's aesthetic taste. It is not an exaggeration to say that the appearance of many Pokémon with poison attributes is ugly, weird, and abstract.

Xunzi was thoughtful. It was true. She was the kind of trainer who did not judge Pokémon by their appearance. But from a normal person's perspective, it was difficult to "get along" with Pokémon that had strange and bizarre appearances.

"The second is strength. Although I am not particularly willing to admit it, many trainers who pursue strength capture Pokémon just to become stronger, but the strength of Pokémon is not balanced. Among the many attributes, the strength of Pokémon with poison attributes is relatively low."

Gu Xin knew very well that although there were quite a few legendary Pokémon with poison attributes, the strength of normal Pokémon with poison attributes was really weak compared to Pokémon with other attributes.

The battle between Pokémons is a competition between the strength of the Pokémons on both sides and the command of the trainer. If this Pokémon is not very strong, why should it be chosen as the main force?

"But Poison Pokémon are not weak. In my opinion, as long as the tactics are properly commanded, Poison can make the opponent feel like they are in heaven or hell."

Gu Xin raised the corners of his lips slightly.

"Ms. Xunzi, you are actually right. The standard for measuring whether a poison attribute trainer is qualified is to see how well he uses poison. You can't just blindly think about poisoning your opponent, which can easily disrupt your battle rhythm."

"But no matter how powerful the opponent is, as long as it is poisoned, it will be like a candle in the wind that is about to be extinguished. What do you think?"

Gu Xin looked at Xunzi. He spoke slowly but clearly.

Xunzi thought of the time when she was poisoned by Nidona, and the anxiety and powerlessness she felt all over her body. What a painful realization it was!
If I poison my opponent during a battle, will my opponent become like me today?

Xunzi's big eyes are shining, that feeling must be very good!
"Please teach me at Guxin Hall! I want to learn!"

"Then let's talk about your team, Ms. Xunzi. I personally have some ideas, you can listen to them."

"Master Guxin, please speak frankly."

The kimono girl had a solemn face, like a well-behaved and obedient student facing a master.

Irene looked at Gu Xin implicitly. No, such a beautiful and gentle girl, do you really want to train her to be a poison trainer?
