Divine Plan? But I'm a Pokémon trainer.

Chapter 109 Xiaoxia: How come there are still gyms that give out badges for free without even fighting?

People in some worlds will start singing while talking.

People in some parts of the world decide to marry someone the first time they see them.

In some worlds, people can decide everything by playing cards.

Then it is normal for people in this world to embark on a journey for a period of time with people they have just met.

Faced with Xiaoxia's invitation to join a team, Link had no reason to refuse.

Although he has been cramming to learn how to take care of fish-type Pokémons recently, the other party is undoubtedly an expert in this field.

"Then welcome to join us, Xiaoxia. I promise you that this trip will be worthwhile."

Then he told his plan: "I'm going to Golden City to discuss business and get the badge there. When I come back, we'll take the boat..."

"No need to say more. I have even prepared the clothes and luggage. I will take care of the savage bass until it finds its home."

Xiaoxia looked like she didn't think there was any point in saying anything more and had already made up her mind.

She never hesitates about what she wants to do and will always stick to it.

So Link readily agreed and left the Cerulean Gym with Misty who was fully prepared.

Afterwards, he secretly took the blue badge that the fire fox had placed in its tail, and it instantly transformed into a deep blue magatama-shaped friendship badge.

All I can say is that it was unexpected...

……

"So you're really a fire-type trainer, Krillin."

On Route 5, looking at the Arcanine that Link released from the Poké Ball, Misty finally realized that what the other party said was true.

There are not only the cute and charming Fire Fox, the proud and independent Litten, but also the majestic Argent.

Add to that the sea hero Dolphin, the endangered Savage Bass, and the ridiculously large Snorlax.

She found it incredible that he could put together such a lineup after only becoming a trainer for more than a month.

Especially, the appearance of this Arcanine is completely different from the ones in the Kanto region. Could it be the so-called regional subspecies?
Just as she was skillfully checking the health of the water dolphin and the wild bass.

"Xiaoxia, what kind of elves did you bring with you this time?"

"I brought Gyarados, Frog, Swamplord, Golduck, and Starfish."

Link was stunned for a moment. Was Xiaoxia's team unexpectedly reliable, or was it that the pure water team formed by intuition happened to be self-consistent?

"I think your team should add a Raichu with the "Lightning Rod" attribute... No, I mean, can Gyarados and Starfish carry people to fly? How fast is it?"

"what?"

Xiaoxia was stunned by the question. She had never considered letting these two elves carry her flying.

She pulled out the latest model of folding mountain bike from her bag and said with a confident smile: "This should be enough."

"I rode my bike to Golden City and waited until evening. I decided to leave it to Windy Dog."

"Windspeed?"

"Wang!"

Xiaoxia looked at the big dog that was standing upright and was almost twice as tall as her. The dog smiled at her in a friendly manner.

And Link began to install riding equipment on it.

"Uh...it looks pretty reliable."

If it was a Pokémon like Rhino, Kentaro, or Tootsie, Misty would definitely decline the offer, but this Arcanine looked majestic and cute at the same time, so she could accept it.

The back of the Windspeed Dog is quite spacious and the saddle is also large, so there is no problem for two people to ride together.

Xiaoxia hesitated for only a moment, then got on it, deceived by its friendly and kind smile.

Link quietly reminded Fire Fox to remember to use his "telekinesis" to ensure that Xiaoxia would not fall.

Then...

Windy Dog officially ran hard along the road leading to Golden City, and the whole way was accompanied by screaming speed and passion, smoke and fire.

Thanks to this reliable speed, when Link and Xiaoxia arrived at Golden City, it was only around 3 pm. Xiaoxia realized that she was not mentally prepared until she started running, and her legs were shaking when she landed.

But the wind speed dog does run fast and steadily. If you put aside the tension and fear brought by the speed, you might even be able to enjoy this lightning speed.

"It seems that you are not used to it. You should ride a bike next time."

"Let me squat on the side of the road for a while..."

Golden City is a metropolis with magnificent golden and tall buildings.

This is the rapidly developing economic center of Kanto in recent years, and the headquarters building of Silver Corporation is located here.

As soon as he entered the city, the busy atmosphere unique to the city made Link dream of returning to Earth.

This time it was his turn to have weak legs.

The two took a taxi to the Golden Gym, but after submitting a challenge, they learned that the gym owner, Nancy, was currently on vacation in Pokémon Hollywood.

"I thought a gym that was half water show was outrageous enough, why did they have to go to Unova to film it?"

Xiaoxia immediately defended herself, "That's art! And the league has never asked gym owners to accept challengers, so it's okay even if the gym trainers come forward to test them."

No wonder she emphasized this so much - she, as the gym leader, is currently in a state of throwing all challengers to the gym trainers (the three sisters).

"Haha, the owner of the museum also has a private life."

After registering the challenger's information, the man in green handed the trainer card to Link, then changed the subject and continued to add.

"But Nancy had predicted the future before she left, and she mentioned that there were several trainers who could get the gold badge without taking the test, and one of them was Xiaolin from Duskwater Town."

After saying that, he handed over the golden badge and the "Characteristic Exchange" secret machine.

Link frowned and was still hesitating whether to take it or not. Snorlax beside him had already helped him take the two items.

Seeing this, Xiaoxia murmured, it's too unreliable for a gym to give away badges and secret machines for free without even fighting. How can they do this?

"Okay, I'll challenge you again when I have the chance in the future."

Although he felt puzzled, Link still accepted these things. After all, Nancy would not be his opponent.

Seeing the two finally leave, the middle-aged man in green finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Gym owner Nancy has always been extremely strong in battles, but in the past two days she suffered a series of defeats without even a chance to struggle.

Curious about this, she tried to predict the future, and it seemed that she got some unspeakable results.

So he temporarily put aside his duties as the museum owner and flew away from Jinhuang City overnight as if it was too much trouble.

He had some vague suspicions about this, suspecting that Nancy had once again seen him fail miserably or something more interesting/troublesome...

……

"Let's go, after we finish discussing the Pokémon business at Silver Company, we can set off for Sinnoh."

After leaving the Golden Gym where the gym owner was not at home, Link checked the time and acted according to his original plan.

Xiaoxia seemed a little tired: "It's still early now, are you planning to go back to Hualan or Kuye to take a boat right after the talk?"

"Of course, it is our responsibility to save endangered species."

"So-tired-ah-"
