Elf, who made him the gym leader?..

Chapter 426: Can Daigo defeat the legend of Guxin?
Inside the Rota Gym, Gusin and Daigo stood in their respective trainer positions.

Looking at Gu Xin, who was dressed in black, Daigo felt the tension of his heart beating violently as the battle was about to begin for the first time in a long time.

Nervous? To be honest, Daigo hadn't felt this emotion before a battle for a long, long time.

But this time the opponent is really too special.

Guxin, the master of Rota Gym, the champion of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Kanto League, and currently recognized as the strongest trainer in the world!
And most importantly, he actually got drawn into the 'Golden Legend' team this time under the influence of Mikoli's bad mouth!
"The gym challenge for Rota Gym will now begin."

Xiao Lan walked into the venue. She was wearing a blue short-sleeved shirt and a white pleated skirt. She looked extremely young and beautiful. Her two slender and fleshy white legs were very eye-catching.

"The challenger is Daigo from the Hoenn region. The battle rules are 6vs6 battles for all members. The Guxin gym leader goes first and the Guxin gym leader is not allowed to change Pokémon."

"When all six Pokémon of Guxin Gym Leader lose their ability to fight, the challenge will be successful."

Blue popped a lollipop into his mouth and waved a small flag.

"The battle begins!"

After announcing the battle rules, Xiaolan slowly withdrew from the battle field.

"A golden legendary team, I wonder what kind of legendary Pokémon Guxin will use this time?"

In the front row of the audience, Mikoli smiled and made guesses.

Well, I sincerely hope that Gu Xin can use those powerful and god-like dragon legends that he used to fight against Emperor Dan.

What Mikoli regretted most about that match was that he didn't go to watch the game in person!
It's really abominable. It would be great if I could see these legends fight live. I hope my dear friend Daigo can be more powerful and hold on a little longer...

Or use more moves like roaring and blowing away, and let Gu Xin bring all six legends onto the stage!

As for whether Daigo will win? It's not that Mikoli looks down on his loved ones, but how can Daigo win against Guxin?
After hearing what Mikoli said, Yeci and Zhulan were also very curious.

"Lilia, what do you think?" Ye Ci asked Lilia's thoughts.

“Eh? I don’t know either. Brother has a lot of legendaries, and I don’t know what strength of legendary he will use.”

Lilia was stunned for a moment, then smiled shyly.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Mikoli and the other two looked at each other with an unspeakable expression.

Ah this...

Even though they have already reached the top of the world's trainers, they have actually only seen a few legendary Pokémon in their lives. After all, legendary Pokémon are too rare and can only be encountered by chance.

And Guxin, are there so many now that you don’t know which one to use?
"Legendary Pokémon are also divided into different levels. My brother has a common legend like Entei, a high-level legend like Reshiram, and a top-level legend like Kyurem."

"In fact, being drawn into a gold legendary team doesn't mean you have no chance of winning."

Liliae introduced Mikoli and the other two.

"If my brother decides to use a normal legendary Pokémon today, then Mr. Daigo..."

"Does Daigo have a chance to win?"

Mikoli's eyes suddenly became sharp.

"That's not the case. Should we have a chance to defeat one or two? Should we..."

Liliae pointed at her fair and beautiful chin and replied after thinking for a while, but she was not sure.

In Liliae's opinion, if it was Champion Dantei or Champion Du, or Uncle Sakaki, they would never be shut out against their brother who used an ordinary legendary team.

Even if you perform exceptionally well, you don't necessarily lose?

However, the probability of this happening is too small. Although it is just an ordinary legendary Pokémon, in this real world, legendary Pokémon are "superior".

At the same level, even quasi-god Pokémon are weaker than ordinary legendary Pokémon.

"Oh, that's okay." Mikoli smiled with relief.

"It's not like my brother hasn't been defeated by a legend before. I remember that when Red came to challenge last year, he defeated my brother's Entei. And when we were in Padia, Nimo also defeated my brother's Gouzangou."

Liliae said with a smile, because Guxin's "defeats" were really too few, and the number of times Guxin used legendary skills in battles with normal trainers was actually not very many.

So Liliae remembered it very clearly.

"Chihong and Nimo?" Upon hearing this, Zhulan and the other two's eyes flickered slightly.

Red is the second of the Four Heavenly Kings of Kanto, one place higher than Green. They also know each other and met in the battle of Golden City last year.

Not to mention Nimo, Ye Ci had brought her to watch the two world championship matches between Qinglu and Dandi.

"But if my brother uses Reshiram and the others, Mr. Daigo will..."

Liliae's words were very tactful, but Zhulan and the others understood that if Gu Xin really used Reshiram and the others, Daigo would probably be shut out.

And now on the field.

"Daigo, this is your first time challenging the Rota Gym, so according to the rules, I should make a formal self-introduction." Gu Xin said with a warm smile.

"As you should. If you didn't introduce yourself, I would have to remind you."

Daigo does have a good temper and even cracks jokes.

However, the self-introduction session of Guxin of Rota Gym is indeed one of his characteristics.

This is the 'process' that every challenger who challenges the Rota Gym for the first time will go through, and Daigo is still very interested in it.

"I'm Gusin, the owner of this Rota gym."

Gu Xin reached out and unbuttoned the top two buttons of his black shirt, loosened his collar, then took out a pair of pure black gloves and put them on elegantly.

"I am good at Pokémon of all attributes, and today I will use a legendary Pokémon to fight against you, Daigo."

Daigo's eyes grew serious.

"Legendary Pokémon often possess extremely powerful powers and are extremely rare. Myths, ancient ruins, mysterious biographies... all contain information about them to some extent."

"Of course, Daigo. You have witnessed their existence and power with your own eyes."

Guxin pulled out a valuable crimson ball and played with it in his hands, tilting his head slightly to look at Daigo.

Daigo has indeed faced legendary Pokémon several times, such as in the Hoenn Sea and in the battle of Golden City.

"But I guess this is your first time battling a legendary Pokémon in a battle arena, right?"

"Then please experience it for yourself, Daigo, and feel their charm in this kind of battle."

The precious ball in his hand enlarged, and Gu Xin threw it backhandedly.

"This is my first Pokémon!"

"Lightning Bird!"

With a sharp cry, a sturdy bird Pokémon landed heavily in front of Guxin, its sharp claws tearing at the ground, and its sharp and fierce eyes staring directly at Daigo.

"This is...Zapdos?"

Mikoli looked at the Pokémon on the field with both feet on the ground in amazement.

It has orange feathers, with spike-shaped black feathers around its eyes, on the inside of its wings, on the outside of its tail and on its back. Its thigh muscles are very developed, and its claws on its feet are so cold and flashing that it's heart-pounding.

Is this a Zapdos?

Even though he was not from Kanto, Mikoli knew what the legendary Zapdos from Kanto looked like. Was this orange-and-black bird related to Zapdos other than its needle-like feathers?
And... this bird is called a bird, but it clearly looks more like a free-range chicken.

"It is indeed a Zapdos, but it is the Galar form of Zapdos." Liliae said helplessly.

"Rotom."

"Here comes Rotom~" The Rotom Pokédex flew over and identified the information of the Galar Zapdos.

'Ding~ Zapdos (Galar's appearance), fighting, flying attributes, strong-legged Pokémon

Features: unyielding

Special skills: Thunderous Kick, Survive in Desperate Situation, Close Combat, See Through, Quick Defense...

Introduction: He has strong legs and can smash a dump truck into pieces with just one kick. He is said to be able to run at a speed of 300 kilometers per hour in the mountains. (Galar's appearance)

There is no doubt that this Galar Zapdos is very strong!
Listening to the introduction of the Rotom Encyclopedia, Mikoli and the others were amazed. And this is actually Zapdos...

"It's the Galar form of Zapdos, with attributes of Fighting + Flying. I captured it when I went to the Crown Snow Fields." Gu Xin said with a smile.

He knew that Daigo might not know much about Galar Zapdos, but it didn't matter. Guxin never cared about taking advantage of this information gap.

"The legendary lightning bird?"

Daigo's handsome face was solemn.

"No matter who your opponent is, fight with all your might and find their weakness to defeat them!"

Finding the opponent's weaknesses and attacking them is the tactic that Daigo is best at!
And Daigo is an 'ultimate steel attribute Pokémon trainer!'

"Armor Bird!"

Daigo swung his right arm and assumed his classic fighting stance.

Champion Daigo! Coming to challenge!

The Poké Ball flew out, and with a low cry, a bird Pokémon covered in hard armor spread its wings in front of Daigo.

This is exactly the starting Armored Bird that Daigo likes to use very much.

'Ding~Armored Bird, Steel, Flying Attribute, Armored Bird Pokémon
Features: Keen eyes
Special moves: Brave Bird Attack, Iron Wall, Scattering, Steel Wings, Tooth for Tooth...

Introduction: The sturdy wings seem heavy, but because the feathers are hollow, they can still fly freely in the sky.

"Armored Bird, it's not bad."

Looking at the armored bird in the field, Zhulan made her own analysis.

The Steel + Flying Armoured Bird is a counter to Galar Zapdos because it is weak to Fighting and Flying, and Armoured Bird is also resistant to Flying.

The attributes are considered an advantage, and Armorbird has very high physical defense, while Galar Zapdos...

To be honest, judging from its sturdy and powerful body and legs, it should be a physical attack type Pokémon.

But after all, it is just a subjective guess. Only through actual battle can we understand the type of Galar Zapdos. And Pokémon with high attribute advantages such as Armored Bird and high defense are best as the starting lineup.

"We still have to test the first launch to get the accurate information of Galar Zapdos, and Armored Bird is also suitable."

Ye Ci also spoke, and Galar Zapdos should be an ordinary legendary Pokémon, and the difference in strength is not that exaggerated.

It seems that Guxin still gave Daigo a chance, but I don’t know if Daigo can defeat this Galar Zapdos.

"Armor bird?"

Gu Xin looked at this classic armored bird, and the corners of his mouth slowly rose.
"The challenger attacks first."

Gu Xin very gentlemanly gestured to Daigo.

Daigo was not polite and pondered for a moment as he looked at the Galar Zapdos standing on the ground.

"Armor Bird, Invisible Rock!"

Daigo still chose StealthRock. Although Saling can affect Pokémon that cannot fly, it is very likely that Galar Zapdos just does not like flying like Archontori, rather than being unable to fly.

What's more, the ground is not immune to damage from invisible rocks.

The armored bird screamed, and quickly spread its wings, and tiny glowing rocks condensed.

"It's really a nail-scattering." Gu Xin raised his eyebrows.

The tactic of scattering spikes has become widely popular nowadays due to the promotion of Gu Xin, and as Armored Bird is one of the best spike scatterers, Daigo will naturally take advantage of this.

After all, the Armored Bird has excellent resistance and extremely high physical defense, but in fact the usage rate of the Armored Bird in this world is not high.

Because Armored Bird is not very outstanding in other aspects, there are very few trainers who really train Armored Bird as their main force.

But now Daigo finally understands the true use of Armorbird.

"provocative."

Gu Xin gave the order decisively.

Galar Zapdos raised its head, staring at Armorbird with its fierce and sharp eyes, and let out a sharp cry, and invisible black waves spread.

Evil provocation!
At this moment, the Armored Bird has flapped its wings and scattered the Invisible Rock.

Small glowing rocks flew out, then quickly grew larger and stayed in various locations in the air and on the ground, before finally becoming invisible.

Just when it had spread out most of its energy, Armorbird heard the shrill cry of Galar's Zapdos. Its eyes suddenly seemed to ignite with fire, and it glared at Galar's Zapdos fiercely.

Invisible waves overflowed, and the Armored Bird was obviously affected by the provocation, so it could no longer scatter nails.

Daigo was not surprised either. It was already good enough that he could spread most of the invisible rocks.

"Brave Bird Attack!"

Then Daigo waved his arms and shouted, launching a frontal attack.

The Armored Bird screamed, and the red flames of the Brave Bird on its body burned up. It swooped down suddenly, heading straight for the Galar Zapdos.

"This is not a very wise decision, Daigo." Gu Xin smiled at this.

"Defeat it."

The appearance of Galar Zapdos gives people a very ferocious feeling, but in fact this feeling is completely correct. Galar Zapdos has an extremely bad temper.

With a loud scream, Galar Zapdos also ignited a bright red "flame" on its body, transforming into a brave bird and heading towards Armorbird.

boom!
The two Brave Birds collided heavily in mid-air, but it was almost unstoppable. Galar Zapdos's Brave Bird Fierce Attack directly broke through the Brave Bird Flare on Armored Bird and slammed into Armored Bird.

Armored Bird groaned, and its body was knocked away by the powerful impact of Galar Zapdos.

Galar Zapdos was about to chase after it, but its wings were not meant to be used for show, so it just moved towards Armored Bird.

Boom!

An invisible rock was triggered and exploded directly. The Galar Zapdos was caught off guard and was hit directly. It let out a painful cry and landed firmly, with a fierce look in the air.

The Armored Bird has also maintained its balance and is looking at the Galar Zapdos.

"The strength is so outstanding."

Daigo frowned slightly as he looked at the Galar Zapdos, who was scratching the ground with his sharp claws with an agitated look.

Although Armorbird's physical attack is not particularly good, it is barely acceptable. However, it will be shattered at the slightest touch when facing Galar's Zapdos.

Of course, Daigo just wanted to test him, so it's not surprising that he couldn't defeat him.

"It's OK to use the invisible rock to consume it, but do I need to use the blowback after the provocation is over?"

Daigo thought quickly in his mind that Blowaway could force the opponent's Pokémon to leave the field and randomly pull a Pokémon into the field.

Invisible Rock is now invisible on the court, and this is his advantage.
