Pokémon, who made him the gym leader?

Chapter 41 Guxin's Second Pokémon

"this……"

Ash stared in astonishment, his mouth agape. The changes in such a short time were truly astounding.

Originally, it was Blastoise's older brother who had the advantage, but in the blink of an eye, Blastoise has fallen into such a huge disadvantage.

Even though he was still young, Ash understood that Blastoise was probably severely injured after this series of blows!

"Guxin precisely timed the activation of the poison!"

Xiao Gang was amazed.

"When the poison is triggered, the pain of the poison will cause the elf to 'stiffen' to varying degrees, and the surprise attack just happened to seize the opportunity."

He has such a thorough understanding of when poison is triggered! No wonder he's a poison-type trainer.

Blastoise has no chance.

Xiao Lan agreed with Xiao Gang's words. It has to be said, the triple attack of the poison, the sudden attack, and the earthquake was truly shocking.

In addition to the previous blows, Blastoise's excellent defense is also a major reason why it didn't lose its ability to fight immediately.

However, Blastoise is now at its last gasp and in very poor condition.

"Come back, Blastoise."

Red recalled the badly injured Blastoise, his eyes filled with apology as he looked at the Blastoise's Poké Ball.

If they hadn't been poisoned, this situation would never have happened.

But being poisoned was his responsibility as the trainer.

"You're really strong!"

He put away Blastoise's Pokémon and stared intently at Guxin with burning red eyes.

This is the first time!

Aside from his childhood rival, Green, this was the first time he had suffered such a great loss in a battle against a fellow trainer.

Although the defeat was due to poisoning, Crimson didn't see anything wrong with it; using poison was simply a form of combat.

Winning by using poison is also a kind of victory.

"You're strong too." Guxin's lips curled up. Recognition from an opponent is indeed pleasing, especially when the opponent is evenly matched.

"Come on, let me see your strength again!"

Guxin rallied his spirits; the battle had only just begun.

"Pikachu!"

Red threw out the second Poké Ball.

"Pikachu~!"

A flash of white light, and an electric mouse nimbly landed in front of Crimson.

Red didn't use Venusaur. Although Venusaur is immune to poison, it's still not easy for it to defeat Arbok.

Moreover, it's not actually that difficult to guard against highly toxic substances.

Red was very confident in his Pikachu, which was extremely agile and swift. To think he could hit Pikachu with poison? That was wishful thinking!

"Aka-san's Pikachu!"

Ash's eyes lit up; he loved Pikachu the most!

"Pikachu!" Ash's Electric Mouse blinked its big eyes and tilted its head to stare at Pikachu in the arena.

"Beep~ Pikachu, Electric-type, Mouse Pokémon"

Characteristics: Static electricity

Special moves: Thunder, Light Screen, Thunderbolt, Discharge, Iron Tail, Agility, Electric Ball, Nasty Plot, Quick Attack, Volt Tackle...

Description: It is said that when several of them gather together, a strong electrical current will accumulate there, and lightning may even strike.

Red Brother's Pikachu has so many special moves!

"Oh wow~ the two brothers both have a Pikachu."

Blue looked back and forth at Ash and his brother's Pikachu with curiosity. Goodness, they really are brothers!

In reality, Pikachu is not a rare Pokémon, and normally its strength is not high.

Ash is just a normal new trainer, so how come Red, a top-tier trainer, also raises Pikachu?

Blue was very curious; she didn't believe that Crimson couldn't evolve Pikachu because he couldn't find the Thunder Stone.

"Because Pikachu is very strong," Ash replied matter-of-factly, genuinely believing it to be true.

"Emmm..." Xiao Lan smiled but didn't say anything.

On the field.

"Red Pikachu..."

Guxin looked at the adorable electric mouse with a strange expression.

Back then, when he was young, he had just started playing the Gold/Silver version of the game. He finally defeated the Johto Elite Four and became the champion, and then went on an adventure to Mt. Silver.

Then, in Mt. Silver, I encountered a silent trainer wearing a hat. As soon as I entered the battle screen, a Pikachu popped up. When I checked its level, it was level 81!

That's absolutely outrageous! At that time, he had just finished defeating the Four Heavenly Kings, and the team's average level was only around 60. Suddenly, an 81-level expert popped up. How could he possibly handle that?

To be honest, designers do understand what "shocking" means.

The memory abruptly ended, because the battle with Crimson was still ongoing.

"It's a bit frustrating that I can't change the Pokémon as a gym leader."

Guxin pondered how to fight it. Arbok wasn't very good at fighting Electivire because Pikachu was small and very agile.

It would be fine if it were someone else's Pikachu, but Red and Ash's Pikachu are quite special.

Even in the game, gym leaders can freely change their Pokémon during gym battles, but in reality, the League rules state that gym leaders cannot change their Pokémon while accepting a challenger.

Unless it is agreed upon by both parties in advance, of course, Xiao Lan did not announce this clause just now, but as a qualified curator, Gu Xin still added this clause to himself.

However, it's not a big problem.

As usual, let's test the power of this electric mouse first.

"Pikachu, Electric Ball!"

Crimson launched the first attack this time.

Pikachu's energetic cry is adorable, and as it leaps high into the air, a ball of energy pulsating with electricity forms on its lightning-shaped tail.

An electric ball of electricity!

This is a skill whose power increases with the greater the speed difference between the two sides.

"A surprise attack!"

Arbok's eyes flashed with black light, and its long body swam swiftly toward Pikachu, easily dodging the incoming electric ball with its sudden acceleration.

A surprise attack is a preemptive strike, which generally has low power, but the speed boost from a special move is exceptionally fast.

However, the surprise attack is an exception, because it can only be used successfully if the opponent launches an attack, so its power is also quite good.

Under the surprise attack, Arbok quickly approached Pikachu and then pounced on the electric mouse.

"Iron Tail!"

Pikachu's tail gleamed with a metallic sheen, and then, using the momentum, it swung itself violently at the onrushing Arbok.

Bang~!

Iron Tail and the sudden attack collided heavily, and then both were knocked away by the other.

Their physical attacks are also quite formidable.

Guxin raised an eyebrow, clearly indicating that Red had done a good job raising this Pikachu, and that this Pikachu's level was definitely not low.

It's a pity this isn't in a growth simulation world, otherwise Guxin would really like to know what level this Pikachu is.

"100,000 volts!"

But as it was knocked back, the electric sacs on Pikachu's cheeks crackled with electricity.

One hundred thousand volts in the electric system!

"Sludge Bomb!" Gushin wanted Arbok to retaliate.

Arbo opened his mouth wide, and purple light flickered inside.

But before the Sludge Bomb could be fired, a golden current shot out. Arbok had just landed and tried to dodge, but it was too late and was hit directly by Thunderbolt.

The crackling sound of electricity continued incessantly as Arbok was subjected to a frenzied 100,000-volt electric shock, howling in pain.

boom!

The 100,000 volts exploded, and Arbok was blasted away.

"Thunder!" The crimson attack was fast and fierce, completely different from the previous Blastoise.

That's for sure, Pikachu is a Pokémon that excels at high speed and fast attacks.

Pikachu growled and sprinted towards Arbok, its golden lightning flashing once more.

A massive bolt of lightning suddenly struck down, slamming into Arbok.

Lightning from the electric system!

"Dig a hole!"

Guxin immediately shouted at Arbok.

If Pikachu continues its pursuit, and then follows up with Thunderbolt followed by another Thunderbolt, Arbok will likely be finished off.

Arbok, enduring the pain from being hit by Thunderbolt, straightened up and burrowed into the ground.

The lightning struck and crashed to the ground, causing an explosion, but it was still a step too late.

"Pikachu, observe calmly." The crimson eyes remained calm and focused.

Pikachu doesn't really have a good way to deal with digging holes. You can run to the hole and use Thunderbolt inside, but what if Arbok is waiting there?

It's risky to do that, so it's better to wait and see. Besides, Red believes that with Pikachu's reaction speed, it can't dodge the burrowing attack.

"They didn't even come to give chase, how cautious."

Guxin felt a little sorry to see this. If Red had really let Pikachu run to the cave entrance and use Thunderbolt on the cave, that would have been great.

Yes, Arbok is currently crouching at the bottom of the cave entrance.

But it doesn't matter.

"Poison Spikes!" Without Blastoise, there's no need to worry about Poison Spikes anymore.

"Hmm?" The crimson eyebrows furrowed slightly.

At the entrance of the burrow, a cobra's head emerged from within, a deep purple spherical poisonous caltrop coalescing in front of its mouth.

"Pikachu! Thunderbolt!"

"Pikachu~!"

Pikachu moved incredibly fast, unleashing a lightning-fast Thunderbolt towards Arbok.

boom!

Thunderbolt struck Arbok again, and Arbok roared in pain; its condition was already very poor.

However, the poison darts had already been launched into the air.

"Electric Ball!"

Pikachu leaped into the air, and the electric ball, crackling with electricity, shot towards Arbok once more.

boom!

The electric ball exploded! Smoke and dust billowed up.

High in the sky, the Poison Diamond energy sphere exploded like fireworks, and streams of unidentified purple fluid fell from the sky and finally disappeared into the ground.

The entire battlefield seemed to be tinged with an eerie purple light before returning to normal.

When the smoke cleared, Arbok was found unconscious at the cave entrance, its eyes swirling in circles.

His red brows furrowed as he recalled information about the poison caltrop.

"Arbok is unable to battle, Pikachu wins."

The referee, Xiao Lan, was quite competent. He immediately ran onto the field to observe Arbok and announced the result after confirming that there was no mistake.

"Yay~ Pikachu is awesome, you've got the first point!"

Ash cheered excitedly. Blastoise was badly injured, but it hadn't lost its ability to battle.

Arbok, however, has truly lost its ability to fight!

"The red Pikachu is indeed very strong, but..." Brock wasn't so optimistic. That poison spikes... were a bit worrying.

"Good job, I'll reward you when we get back."

Gusin retracted his praise of Arbok, acknowledging that Arbok had indeed performed very well.

And the last remaining "legacy" – Poison Chips – is also key!

"So red! This will be my second Pokémon!"

Guxin took out another high-grade ball and threw it with a stylish backhand.

"Dragon King Scorpion! Prepare for battle!"

"long~!"

With a low, hoarse cry, a giant scorpion-shaped Pokémon landed heavily in front of Guxin.
