Elf, who made him the gym leader?..

Chapter 417: Mr. Du Guanjun, what is your evaluation of Rota Gym?

Adu actually thought that Gu Xin should have surpassed him. After all, this junior was growing too fast.

It was so fast that Adu even doubted whether this junior's Evergreen Power had the ability to accelerate the growth of his Pokémon.

But Adu always believed that if Gu Xin did not use those legendary Pokémon from extraordinary mythological stories, he should still be able to have a fierce battle with Gu Xin.

but……

Adu understood the truth, the real targeting.

His dragon army is relatively weak to ice, and Adu also knows this. After all, almost all of his team members are weak to ice.

What kind of team structure does he imagine?

Ace Dragonite, Giant Dragonite, Mega Gyarados, Dragonite 02, Dragonite 03, and Dragonite.

Very good, except for Mega Gyarados, all are four times weak to ice, and even Mega Gyarados is weak to individual freeze-drying.

And Adu is still cultivating Garchomp and the three-headed dragon, and he has even mobilized resources to find the evolution stones of Dragonite and Garchomp.

After getting these two evolution stones, he planned to replace Gyarados and put Garchomp into the team.

In this way, his strongest dragon team is completely complete! Adu, who worships dragons, is naturally a strength party.

A team of quasi-gods, really perfect, right?

Well, all six are four times weak to ice, but so what?

A'du never thought there was anything wrong with this, it was just attribute restraint. In A'du's view, true strength would not be restricted by so-called attributes.

His size means he is powerful! His size means he is invincible!
Even if it's an ice-type Pokémon, so what? If the opponent dares to use Blizzard or Freeze Beam, he will dare to let Dragonite dive back!
A head-on collision will directly crush the opponent's ice-type moves!

This is the real dragon! This is the real power!

But Gu Xin really taught Adu a lesson today. All of his Dragonites were defeated.

In the final analysis, it is because Dragonite is too weak to ice, which causes it to fall down after being attacked two or at most three times.

A'du's mind was a little dazed at this moment.

Since becoming a trainer and making his debut, Adu has never been beaten so badly.

Even when he was weaker, it was not like this.

There is no need to say much about the following battle. Facing Gu Xin's Articuno, although Adu fought with all his might, he was unfortunately defeated in the end.

"Hakron loses his ability to fight, and Articuno wins."

Xiaolan entered the scene and announced the result of the battle, then glanced at the silent Adu.

"Since the challenger Adu lost all six Pokémon, this challenge has failed."

Xiaolan announced the final result. Well, Haxorus is already Adu's sixth one, and the fifth one is Dragonite 03.

But he was blown stiff by two blizzards from Articuno.

After hearing this result, A'du became even more silent, while the passers-by were shocked.

"Sure enough... we were shutout..."

"Master Guxin really doesn't treat you like a human being. At least give him an Alola Ninetales as a favor."

"Four Alola Ninetales, what a divine lineup this is. I feel sorry for Champion Du."

"Tsk~ He really hit hard. Although it's different from the time when he fought against Galar's Dantei, I guess Champion Du would rather face those dragon legends, right?"

"Master Gu Xin is indeed the strongest!"

The audience was very lively, but everyone was discussing in low voices, after all, the person involved was still there.

Judging from A'du's gloomy expression, he was probably not in a very good mood right now.

And this is natural. Although his personality has been "corrected" a lot, Adu himself is still proud.

All members were shut out in the battle, which was something Adu couldn't imagine. The blow was really too heavy.

"What a hearty battle, Senior Du."

Gu Xin walked up to A'Du with a smile on his face. Articuno folded its wings and landed to stand behind Gu Xin, looking gorgeous and dignified.

"..."

A'du's face twitched. How could this battle be so exciting?
"It seems that the lineup I prepared specially for you, Senior Du, is quite impressive. I didn't expect it to be so effective."

Gu Xin continued speaking with a smile.

A'du's face was obviously much paler. Sure enough, this guy Gu Xin deserved to be hung on the street lamp!
"Ha~ No more kidding, Senior Du, I really enjoyed today's match and I look forward to sparring with you again next time."

Gu Xin smiled and stretched out his hand. He was indeed feeling quite happy. Well, Senior Du’s fat army was a good target.

Let Gu Xin deeply experience the fun of the attribute advantage.

"Hmph! I won't do that next time."

A'Du snorted coldly when he heard that, but still shook Gu Xin's hand gracefully.

It’s not that he can’t afford to lose, especially since he lost to Gu Xin. The main reason is that this loss was a bit ugly.

But it doesn't matter. He plans to adjust the lineup and also has to seriously think about how to deal with ice-type Pokémon.

"Of course."

Guxin's smile deepened.

The battle was over, and Gu Xin invited A'du to go to the backyard to sit and sightsee, and A'du did not refuse.

But there is no doubt that the battle between Gu Xin and Adu and the outcome of the battle will probably sweep across the Kanto region like a hurricane.

The azure blue sky was reflected on the clear water. The silly Slowpoke was still sitting by the lake in a daze. Guxin and A'du were sitting on the picnic mat, enjoying the gentle breeze.

"You have a nice place."

Adu looked at the Pokémon playing or training on the grass in the distance, and a smile appeared on his handsome face.

He likes this harmonious and natural environment very much.

"Then Senior Du, come often when you are free."

"Once I take up my post in Johto, I'm afraid I won't have much time."

A'Du shook his head. He would be going to the Johto region to take up the title of champion in two days, and he had a lot of things to do.

He is a rather rigorous and serious person. There are still remnants of Team Rocket active underground in the Johto region, and he will not let them go easily.

"That's right, after all, Senior Du is also a workaholic." Gu Xin laughed.

Among so many regional champions, although all the champions are very reliable in real life, it is really different in daily life.

Only A'du and Ye Ci's daily lives are filled with work.

A'du didn't comment.

"The World Championship is about to begin. Senior Du has now been reappointed as the champion. Where does the president plan to rank you?" Gu Xin asked curiously.

"Still the eighth." A'du said lightly.

"It seems that because the Johto League is newly established and the World Championship is about to begin, it is difficult to make temporary adjustments."

"It doesn't matter, I will take action."

Adu's tone was calm. Just as Gu Xin had guessed before, for a proud dragon, ranking eighth?
Adu is very unhappy!
But it’s okay, he will take action, and when the World Championship starts, he will launch a challenge.

"That's great~" Gu Xin was very envious. Because he was ranked first, he couldn't challenge others. He could only look forward to seeing who would challenge him.

Well, I hope that teachers Daigo and Takeran can be more self-aware.

"?" A'du looked at Gu Xin doubtfully. What did he mean by 'really good'?
"But Senior Du still needs to be careful. The champions from other regions are all very strong. Watch out for a chance of failure."

Gu Xin upholds his duty as a younger generation and reminds his elders.

Of course, this is just a mention. In Gu Xin's opinion, among the eight masters today, except for himself and Dan Emperor, Adu will not lose to anyone else.

This is not the funny thing about Adu in the anime version. Dragonite's moves include destruction ray, tornado, and pounce. Is this a move set that a human can come up with for Dragonite?

And the funniest thing is that Adu actually let the Gigantamax Dragonite use Gigantamax Dragonknight to fight Mega Gardevoir. Is this really an operation that a champion can do?
Gu Xin understood the animation production team's idea. After all, in the animation, A'du and Dan Di had already fought once in the last World Championship, and A'du definitely couldn't fight Dan Di again this time.

But even if you want to give Adu to Kaluna, you can't do it like this.

"Hmph! My dragon will not lose!" A'du sneered, very confident.

"And after today's battle with you, I also have some ideas."

Then A'du seemed to be thinking about something.

"In fact, Senior Du, the main problem with your team is that they are too weak against ice. Senior Du, you can pick one from these."

Guxin took out three Poké Balls and handed them to Adu.

"?" A'du narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Gu Xin.

"Dragon + Evil Roaring Moon, Dragon + Evil Evil Eater King, Dragon + Poisonous Four-Jaw Needle Dragon."

Gu Xin introduced them one by one.

"They are all very strong Dragon Pokémon, no worse than the Quasi-Dragon Pokémon."

"Paradox Pokémon and Ultra Beasts?"

"correct."

Adu raised his eyebrows. He had also heard of the paradoxical Pokémon and the Ultra Beasts. Of course, he was mainly concerned about the dragon.

"I can't have it."

A'du refused decisively. He did not want to receive favors without merit. Although he had a good relationship with Gu Xin, he did not like to receive favors from others.

"Senior Du, are you going to be so polite to me?"

"I'm not being polite."

"Senior Du, I still remember that you entrusted the mini dragon to me."

"That's different. You saved a whole shipload of people, and I wanted to find a good trainer for Dratini anyway."

A'du said calmly. Of course, he did not say that it was because Gu Xin possessed the power of Changpan and was the junior he unilaterally recognized at that time.

What's more... ahem, when he learned that Gu Xin actually specialized in poison, he was not very happy.

"So I'm also trying to find an excellent trainer for them. Senior Du, you don't want to see them living a mediocre life in this backyard, right?"

"..."

A'du frowned slightly.

"To let them shine with you, Senior Du, is the best outcome for me. If you still feel bad about it, Senior Du."

"Then take them to the World Championship to challenge those powerful champions and defeat them. They are all excellent and are also looking forward to an excellent trainer."

Gusin smiled and spoke.

"……I see."

Adu was convinced, and then thought about the three Poké Balls and chose the Poké Ball of Tetrajaw Needle Dragon.

He himself has cultivated three evil dragons. The attributes of the Evil Food King and Roaring Moon are somewhat overlapping, while the attributes of the Dragon + Poison Four-Jaw Needle Dragon are also good.

Moreover, poison is effective against fairies, so the Four-Jawed Needle Dragon will have an advantage when facing opponents with fairy attributes.

"Senior Du is very good at choosing. This four-jawed needle dragon is quite powerful. It only needs a little nurturing to become a fighting force. I believe it will soon become your main force."

Guxin said with a smile.

"Thank you very much." A'du said these three words.

After that, Gu Xin chatted with A'du for a while, and then A'du said goodbye.

By the way, Gu Xin asked Adu to change his online name to Dodo. Adu still didn't understand, but since he lost the battle, he agreed.

Although Adu sincerely felt that this 'Dodo' was full of malice towards him, Adu could afford to lose.

This time it lasts half a month.

Gu Xin's bad taste is still as strong as ever.

He has always been a decisive person. He is about to take on the role of champion of Johto, and he has a lot of things to prepare.

But at this moment, the entire city was actually in chaos.

Because the battle between Gu Xin and Adu caused a huge sensation.

Of course, A'du didn't pay attention to these rumors, but the next day, he was blocked at the door on the Quartz Plateau.

Well, it's a reporter.

"Champion Yulongdu, I heard that you challenged the Rota Gym yesterday, right?" The reporter interviewed the Johto champion Yulongdu.

"I refuse to answer." A'du said stiffly.

"It is said that you had an all-out battle against the Rota Gym Leader, and you were shut out, right?"

"I refuse to answer." A'du said indifferently.

"It is said that after the defeat, you were asked by the Rota Gym Leader to change your online name to 'Dodo' for half a month. Is this true?"

"I refuse to answer." A'Du said expressionlessly.

"What do you think of the Rota Gym Master?" The reporter seemed not to see A'du's expression.

Hearing this, A'du fell into deep thought.
