Pokémon, who made him the gym leader?

Chapter 4 I want to be a role model for the museum owner!

Tsukimiyama.

This is a relatively famous high mountain in the Kanto region. Because the top of Mount Tsukimi is very difficult to climb, most travelers pass through the caves in the mountain.

Mount Tsukimi is famous for its wild pikas and frequent meteor showers, where meteorites that fall there become moonstones, and there is also a chance to dig up fossils.

It's easy to imagine that Mt. Tsukimi is famous not only because it's home to the rare Pokémon Clefairy, but also because it has precious Moonstones and fossils.

Guxin has now arrived at the foot of Mount Tsukimi.

Well, he stayed on Rota Street for two or three days, spending every day diligently training the three main cats, Xin Ye Miao, in preparation for the challengers who would come to his door.

Changing the reputation of a dojo isn't something that can be achieved through one or two battles, but Gushin is very motivated.

However, the problem is...

He waited for three whole days, but not a single challenger came to his door. All his enthusiasm was wasted!

Guxin remained silent about this, but then he thought that Rota Street was relatively remote, and even fewer people would specifically come to Rota Street to challenge the gym.

Furthermore, the Rota Dojo is relatively unknown, so it's quite normal that many tourists visiting Rota Street don't even know there's a dojo there.

It's not a big problem, so let's use this time to train hard! Let's try to evolve the three little guys, New Leaf Cat, as soon as possible.

Moreover, in order to perfectly deal with the challenger, he needs to be better prepared, and fortunately, there are too few Pokémon in the gym that can be used to deal with the challenger.

So Guxin went to the Tsukimi-yama area. Rota Street is located on the edge of Dark Grey City and Tsukimi-yama, not far away.

"New Leaf Cat, bite!"

Gu Xin, carrying a spatial satchel, gave orders to the imposing Xin Ye Miao in front of him.

"Meow~!"

With high spirits, New Leaf Meow let out a meow and charged towards a purple rattlesnake with swift movements of its limbs.

It is the poison-type Ekans.

However, Arbok already had quite a few wounds on its body, which were left from its recent battle with Newleaf.

Arbok coiled its purple body, revealing two deep purple energy fangs, and suddenly pounced on Newleaf.

Poison-type Venom Fang!

"Avoid it."

With a nimble and natural movement, New Leaf Cat skillfully avoided Arbok's venomous fangs.

"Use a bite."

With a swift turn, Newleaf Meow opened its gleaming black fangs and bit down on the back half of Arbok's body.

A vicious bite.

Arbok hissed in pain, turned its head to glare at Newleaf Meow, and pounced again.

But Newleaf Cat is agile and cunning, striking and retreating immediately, dodging Ekans' counterattack with a leap.

"Grasp."

Newleaf Cat raised its right paw, a sharp white light flashing on it, and slashed directly at Arbok's head.

The general department is to catch them.

With a perfect hit, Arbok's body went limp and it collapsed to the ground, its eyes spinning in circles, unable to fight.

"Poké Ball, go!"

Seeing this, Guxin skillfully threw out a high-level ball.

The Ultra Ball hits Ekans, whose body turns into red light and is absorbed into the Ultra Ball.

Buzz~ Buzz~ Ding!

After the Ultra Ball wobbled twice, a crisp ding rang out, and the Ultra Ball froze, indicating that Arbok had been successfully captured.

"Well done."

Guxin picked up Arbok's Poké Ball and praised Newleaf, who was holding its head high with a "come praise me" expression.

"Meow~!"

Receiving affirmation from its trainer, Xinye Miao happily wagged its tail twice, nimbly leaped onto Guxin's shoulder, and let out a proud meow.

The tone was as if to say, "Of course."

"Don't be arrogant, you still need to keep training hard."

Guxin chuckled and scratched the kitten's chin.

"Meow~" Xin Ye Miao let out a comfortable meow, but it was unclear whether she heard it or not.

Behind Guxin, Eileen, dressed casually, covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Come out."

Guxin then unleashed the Arbok he had just captured.

The white light landed, and a weakened Arbok appeared before him. Although it had woken up, its injuries had not healed, and it was still very listless.

Guxin took out the wound spray and squatted down to spray it on the Arbok.

"From now on, I'll be your trainer. Please take good care of me."

While treating Arbok with a gentle smile, Guxin said that his Viridian Power could also heal Pokémon injuries.

However, using the power of Everlasting requires mental energy, and since I've already bought the healing potion, wouldn't it be a waste not to use it?

"Hiss~"

Arbok flicked its tongue, stared at Guxin with its vertical pupils, and then nodded in agreement.

Generally speaking, unless a wild Pokémon has an extremely eccentric and reclusive personality, it will usually accept its trainer after being defeated and captured.

This seems to be ingrained in one's subconscious.

"Ding~ Arbok, Poison type, Snake Pokémon"

Ability: Intimidate

Special moves: Bind, Stare, Poison Sting, Bite, Giant Snake Stare, Venomous Fangs, Piercing Sound, Surprise Attack (Inherited)

Description: Its body grows longer with age, and every night it coils itself around a tree branch to rest.

Eileen took out her Pokédex to check the information about this Arbok.

"Did he inherit Sucker Punch? And did he learn that Poison Fang from another Pokémon?"

Guxin listened to the Pokédex's description and glanced with some surprise at the Arbok in front of him, whose spirits had recovered considerably.

The ambush is definitely hereditary, no doubt, but at first Gusin thought that the venomous fang was the move that Arbok inherited.

However, it seems that it probably learned it from other wild Pokémon.

"Looks like I'm lucky, this Arbok has great talent."

Guxin gently touched the top of Arbok's head; the touch was cool and refreshing.

Ekans tilted its head, its snake-like eyes fixed on its trainer, seemingly lost in thought.

"That would be perfect, Guxin. It's getting late, are you heading back today?"

Seeing that Guxin was in a good mood, Eileen was naturally happy for him as well.

I don't know why, but seeing Guxin working so hard for the gym makes me happy. Maybe... it's because as long as the gym doesn't close down, Guxin will stay in Rota Street forever?

"Let's go back now, we've had a very fruitful day."

Guxin recalled Arbok into its Poké Ball, glanced at the sun on the horizon, and stretched lazily. "Awesome!"

The two headed back towards Rota Street.

"It seems like you've caught a lot of Poison-type Pokémon? Are you planning to specialize in Poison-type Pokémon?"

"Yes, that's the plan for now."

Guxin nodded; he had indeed caught quite a few Poison-type Pokémon today.

The Ekans just now, along with Oddish, Nidoran, Pokémon, Zubat, and Nidorino, are all Poison-type Pokémon.

"But its poison attribute... seems rather unbalanced, doesn't it?"

Eileen organized her thoughts and tentatively spoke to Guxin.

Moreover, Gu Xin is quite handsome and has a sunny disposition, but his specialization in poison isn't very good.

The Poison type is definitely one of the least popular types, with most people disliking Poison-type Pokémon.

"There are indeed relatively few Poison-type Trainers, but that's precisely why I chose this one," Guxin chuckled.

"Gym facilities are designed to hone challengers. For those challengers, challenging a gym is not only about obtaining a gym badge, which grants them a ticket to the regional league tournament, but also about improving their own skills and strength."

"Emmm..."

Eileen seemed to be deep in thought.

"As a gym leader, I'm temporarily specializing in poison to help challengers gain experience in dealing with poison. It's for their own good!"

Gu Xin spoke with righteous indignation; his goal was to become a role model for all the museum owners!

He would never tell you that the battle with a Poison-type Pokémon would be unforgettable, which is why he chose to use a Poison-type Pokémon to deal with the challenger first.

"As expected of Gu Xin!" Eileen's beautiful, watery eyes sparkled, but then she seemed to remember something.

"But I remember there's a gym in the Kanto region that specializes in poison-type attacks, I think it's the Crimson Gym?"

"It's okay, it's fair competition. I'll do my best to make everyone forget about that crimson gym."

Gu Xin spoke very modestly.

Eileen: (.)

As he walked, Guxin continued to ponder the issue of team composition.

"Although there are many Poison-type Pokémon in the Kanto region, their strength and team compatibility are generally average."

"Speaking of which, if we're going to use a Poison-type team for now, we'll have to consider the Poison and Steel types. Hmm, Old Deng happens to be in Alola, so I'll ask him to get me a few Salamander and Salamence with the Corrosion ability."

"We should also ask him if he has any connections in Padia. It would be even better if he could get a few Crystal Sprouts and Crystal Flowers."

Gu Xin pondered that if he wanted to build a poison-type team, having a few Crystal Flowers would be ideal.

Crystal Flower's Poisonous Surface ability makes it perfect as a starter, and its Corrosive ability also helps target Poison and Steel-type Pokémon, since these two types are immune to poison.

I'll have to ask my dad. Gusin doesn't have time to go to Padiya and Alora right now, but Old Deng has connections there, so he should be able to get it.
