Pokémon, who made him the gym leader?

Chapter 37 Gu Xin! I challenge you!

Apollo and Lance retreated, so the operation was undoubtedly unsuccessful.

After all, for Apollo, Dr. Fuji was the key figure, and they had finally managed to locate him.

But there's nothing we can do now; at least we've achieved another goal.

Meanwhile, Guxin first went to the captain's cabin to rescue the pitiful captain, and then returned to the hall.

The battle was still raging inside the hall, and the Team Rocket members had not yet received the signal to retreat.

"Brother Chi, Guxin, you're back."

As soon as they saw Guxin and his friends return, Ash and the others immediately came to greet them.

Eileen walked up to Guxin and looked him over with concern. She breathed a sigh of relief when she found that there was nothing wrong with Guxin.

After all, their opponent was Apollo, a senior executive of the Rockets, the biggest rival on the ship, so Erin was naturally worried.

"How did it go? Did you defeat Apollo?"

Xiao Zhi asked eagerly.

"Hmph~ Of course! With me by your side, the three of us can easily wipe out Apollo."

Little Blue put her hands on her hips, tilted her head back, and looked very proud.

Upon hearing this, Akane and the old man Fuji remained silent, while Guxin nodded in agreement, saying, "No problem."

Wow! That's amazing!

"As expected of you!"

"And Apollo? Didn't he capture him?"

Ash and his two friends were pleasantly surprised.

"No, this Rocket Team operation involved more than just Apollo, a high-ranking officer. For various reasons, we did not pursue them."

Gu Xin shook his head and spoke.

Even if they were three senior Rockets executives, they could still stall for time if they wanted to.

But they are on the Santo Anu, on the vast ocean, and if they really push Apollo and his men too far...

The consequences are hard to imagine.

Not to mention there are so many Voltorb and Electrode in the cabin. Although Guxin has a powerful weapon, it's not his Pokémon right now, so it's uncertain whether he'll help him catch Apollo and the other two.

"What a pity."

Xiao Zhi felt it was a pity.

"That's a good point. The Rockets are crazy; they're capable of anything when they're desperate."

The rational Xiao Gang felt that this was fine. Compared to catching Apollo, ensuring his own safety and that of the passengers on the ship was obviously more important.

"The Rockets have started to retreat."

Xiaoxia then noticed that the Team Rocket members who were still fighting in the hall had begun to retreat outside the hall.

"I guess Apollo informed them," Gusin understood after one glance.

"Don't let them get away! Those damn Team Rocket!"

Ash is full of a sense of justice. He can't even catch the high-ranking officers, but do you ordinary Team Rocket members think you can escape?

impossible!

"Yes, let's leave them here. Miss Officer Jenny and the others will be here soon."

And what followed was easy.

Without Apollo and Lance, the Team Rocket members were leaderless and were quickly defeated when Gushin and Red joined the battle, leaving them helpless and unable to escape.

Half an hour later, the Kureha City police boat finally arrived and took over the Saint-Tiannu.

After presenting each Team Rocket member with a silver bracelet, Officer Jenny, who was in charge of the rescue operation, approached Gushin and the others.

"Phew~ I never expected the Rockets would dare to hijack the Santo Anu. Thank you all very much."

Miss Officer Jenny's face was serious; she had already learned the whole story.

"If it weren't for your intervention, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

"This is what we should do, but it's a pity we didn't capture Apollo and Lance."

Crimson remained aloof, while Little Blue shrank back, not wanting to steal the spotlight from Officer Jenny. Gu Xin had no choice but to step forward.

"You guys have done a great job. You thwarted the Rockets' plot, and we will definitely arrest these two dangerous individuals."

Officer Jenny shook her head. Apollo and Lance are Rockets executives; they're not so easy to catch.

In contrast, she was more interested in the young trainers who could defeat Apollo.

"Would you mind leaving your names? I will apply to the higher-ups for a reward for you and publicize your deeds in saving the passengers of the Saint-Téné.

Miss Officer Jenny asked with a smile, respecting the decision of Guxin and the others.

Not everyone likes to be in the spotlight, especially since they've offended the Rockets this time.

Upon hearing this, Guxin's eyes lit up slightly. This was a great opportunity to defeat the Rota Dojo!

"I am Gushin, the Gym Leader of Rota Street."

"..."

"Hehe~ I don't need to. My reward can be given to Guxin and Red."

Crimson remained silent, while Little Blue gave a cheerful reply before shrinking back into its shell.

She didn't want to be on TV, otherwise... if the old monster and her colleagues in that organization noticed her, it would be a real problem.

Xiao Lan's eyes were somewhat dim. Yes, although she had escaped that organization, its shadow still haunted her constantly, lingering and never fading away.

Gu Xin glanced at Xiao Lan and keenly noticed the complexity in her eyes. This seemingly cheerful, lively, and quirky girl was hiding too many secrets.

But Gu Xin still didn't say anything, otherwise what could he say?

If it really is the special episode's Little Blue, Gu Xin can't help her now, because that old monster is really too terrifying.

"Okay, I understand."

Miss Officer Jenny nodded as she looked at the three people with different attitudes, but then looked at Guxin with curiosity.

"Is Mr. Gushin also a gym leader?"

"Yes, I was just accompanying a good friend on a boat trip, I never expected to encounter something like this."

"I think Mr. Gu Xin must be an excellent curator."

Officer Jenny smiled slightly, saying she had never heard of the Rota Dojo before...

However, in Officer Jenny's opinion, a gym leader who can even defeat Apollo will definitely become famous over time.

"I don't deserve such praise, but I will try my best."

Miss Officer Jenny didn't talk to them for too long because quite a few Team Rocket members were arrested this time, but thankfully, the passengers suffered no major losses.

Except for one person...

On the deck, Dacto stared blankly at the endless horizon in the distance, his expression gloomy.

"Mr. Darkrod, please rest assured, we will capture Team Rocket as soon as possible and retrieve your Pokémon."

An ordinary police officer spoke seriously to Dakdo, but Dakdo seemed oblivious.

He felt that his entire life was bleak at that moment, and his thoughts seemed to have returned to that time.

Under duress from the demon named Lance, he chose to save himself, and personally declared his intention to abandon Darkrai...

Darkrai simply couldn't imagine what his Darkrai had looked like when he was looking at him back then.

Darko's eyes slowly stung with tears. He had lost Darko, not just because the Rockets had taken him away, but because he had truly lost him.

Dakdo's hands trembled as he took out his phone and dialed a number. The communication jamming device had been turned off, and the Saint-Tiannu was already on its way back to Kuye City.

The call was answered quickly.

"Dakto, are you alright?"

A gentle, kind old man's voice came from over.

"grandfather……"

Upon hearing his grandfather's gentle voice, Dakdo finally couldn't hold back his grief and tears fell.

"Grandpa, the Darkrai you gave me... the Rockets stole it."

Dakdo felt wronged and sad.

"..." The old man on the other end of the phone fell silent, seemingly too shocked to speak.

Darko was actually snatched away by the Rockets... This is...

The old man really wanted to ask, "How did you do that? This is Darkrai!"

Even with his status as a legendary Pokémon, he is incredibly precious. The reason why this Darkrai was willing to follow Darkrai was because the old man had a past relationship with this Darkrai's elder.

"grandfather……"

"Don't be sad, Darko, those Rockets..." The old man's voice was tinged with weariness. The Rockets, they really are parasites in Kanto.

"I have information about a Latios here. I can give you information about its habitat, but Darkor, this is the last time Grandpa will help you."

The old man said solemnly that the whereabouts of legendary Pokémon are extremely difficult to find, and besides, doing this actually goes against his original intention.

But since Dakdo is his grandson, he can only help him one last time. If he still can't be helped, then so be it.

"Thank you, Grandpa." Darko's eyes were red, and he understood that his grandfather was very disappointed in him. Damn Team Rocket!

I will definitely get my revenge!

……

Vermilion City, Pokémon Center.

"Phew~ What a pleasant trip! But it's about time, so I'll take my leave now."

Blue retrieved her healed Pokémon from Nurse Joy and waved goodbye to Gushin and Crimson.

"Bye-bye~" Gu Xin nodded with a smile.

"goodbye."

Crimson rarely speaks, except when talking about his younger brother and family, a certain formidable enemy, or during battles; he is always very sparing with his words.

Xiao Lan smiled brightly, then prepared to turn and leave.

Chi Hong turned his gaze to Gu Xin, his crimson eyes gleaming.

"?" Gu Xin raised an eyebrow.

"Guxin, I challenge you!" Crimson's tone was fervent.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lan, who had already taken a step, immediately stopped, her eyes flashing with a burning light as she turned around.

Oh my god! My own two legs are about to start fighting?!
