Pokémon, who made him the gym leader?

Chapter 45 The fault wasn't mine, it was Gu Xin's!

"this……"

The onlookers were speechless; this was a spirit born after the belly drumming!

In a battle between equally matched opponents, the power after the abdominal drum is almost unmatched. Shouldn't the opponent first unleash their full power and slaughter everyone?

"Dragon King Scorpion!"

Guxin called out to the Dragon King Scorpion.

"long~!"

With a low growl, Drapion's pincers, raised high behind its back, suddenly pierced the air, locking onto Snorlax's neck and slamming it to the ground.

Snorlax, which had just recovered a little from the poison spikes, had no time to react and was knocked to the ground by Pincer Tail.

"Cross-shaped Poisoned Blade!"

With its two pincers crossed and poised to strike, Drapion swung out with a powerful, cross-shaped venomous blade aimed at Snorlax.

boom!

Just as Snorlax was about to struggle to get up, it was suddenly hit, letting out a low growl in pain and its movements faltering.

Despite its bulky and large size, Snorlax's physical defense is actually not high, and could even be considered low. However, Snorlax has very high stamina.

But having already bloated its belly, Snorlax was in poor condition.

"Snorlax, catch it!"

His crimson face hardened, and he said in a deep voice.

Snorlax is not Pikachu! Snorlax's power now far surpasses that of Drapion!

Despite the pain, Snorlax used its large hand to grab the pincers that were locking around its neck.

"earthquake!"

But it's not that easy.

Drapion retracted its pincers first. If Snorlax had grabbed its tail, it could have easily grabbed it by the tail and swung it around in a brutal and inhumane slamming motion.

Snorlax missed its target, but Drapion didn't stop.

Its raised tail, accompanied by an incredibly sharp gust of wind, slammed down heavily, landing on the ground right next to Snorlax.

earthquake!

"Snorlax!" Red's eyebrows furrowed instantly.

Rumble!

The ground trembled violently, and tangible earthquake shockwaves rippled outwards, directly impacting the Snorlax that was right next to it.

Snorlax growled in pain; the earthquake had caused considerable damage!

"Snorlax needs to stand up! If it doesn't, it'll just keep getting beaten up!"

Xiaoxia was getting a little anxious.

"Impossible, Guxin won't give you a chance." Xiao Gang shook his head.

"And... the poison darts are probably coming again!"

But they probably won't even need the poison darts to corrode them.

On the field.

The Snorlax lying on the ground was extremely weak; it was seriously injured.

"Snorlax, go to sleep!" Red's mind raced, and he quickly came up with a solution, immediately giving the order to Snorlax.

"Don't even think about it!" Gu Xin's eyes sharpened.

"Cross-shaped Poisoned Blade!"

Snorlax closed its eyes, preparing to go to sleep. Sleep is a Normal-type move, and its stamina can be restored as long as it falls asleep.

But the Dragon King Scorpion had already swung its two pincers, and its cross-shaped venomous blade shot out rapidly.

boom!

The cross-shaped poison blades exploded heavily on Snorlax's body, and thick smoke and dust spread out, obscuring Snorlax.

"How did it go? Did Snorlax succeed?"

"I don't know, the Poison Blade attack came too fast, Snorlax probably didn't have time to react while it was sleeping, right?"

"Not necessarily. Sleeping is quick. As long as you fall asleep, your strength will recover, and you can withstand the cross-shaped poison blade."

"Damn it, why isn't this smoke dissipating yet?!"

The onlookers were captivated by the exciting battle, and each one of them was more anxious than the last.

Ash and his friends were the same, especially Ash, who stared intently at the dissipating dust with trepidation.

Did it work? If Snorlax can fall asleep successfully, it has a chance to turn the tide!

Red was also intently watching the smoke and dust, as was Snorlax...

Soon, Snorlax's figure slowly appeared before everyone.

But upon seeing Snorlax, his crimson eyes flickered slightly, and he fell silent.

Snorlax's eyes were already spinning, and it was clear that Poison Blade was one step ahead in the end, and Snorlax's sleep was not achieved.

"Snorlax is unable to battle; Drapion wins!"

Xiao Lan stepped forward to take a look and announced the result in a crisp voice.

On the scoreboard screen, Snorlax's icon on the red side also went gray. This was a 4 vs 4 battle, and he only had one Pokémon left.

Red silently recalled Snorlax, staring at Snorlax's Poké Ball for a long time, his thoughts a mix of emotions.

To be honest, after fighting for so long, Crimson understands that his disadvantage is already quite great.

After all, Drapion is only Guxin's second Pokémon, and it's still in good condition. This means that if he wants to win, this last Pokémon must defeat all three of them in one battle.

It must be said that Guxin is somewhat different from any of his previous opponents, whose battles were almost all head-on confrontations.

Gushin is different. Although his Pokémon are not weak, Toxic and Toxic Spikes are the core of his team, at least that's what Red thinks so far.

After all, Guxin is only using two Pokémon right now, but Red understands that whether it's Arbok or this stronger Drapion, if it were a normal head-on battle...

Red believed that his Blastoise and Pikachu could defeat them, but now? Even Snorlax was defeated by Drapion.

This was the first time Crimson had faced such an opponent, and he truly learned a lot.

"There's still a chance!" But Crimson never loses heart. He took a deep breath silently and calmed himself down. As long as it's not the last moment, he might still be able to turn defeat into victory!

We can't give up!

"Guxin is amazing!"

Xiao Zhi understood that his brother was in a difficult situation, and after a long silence, he managed to squeeze out this sentence.

He really didn't expect that his idolized older brother would be at such a disadvantage when competing against his peers.

Gushin now has three match points in his hands!

Eileen's smile deepened on her fair face; she was clearly in a good mood.

"Eileen?"

"What's wrong, Xiao Lan?"

"Did Guxin really start changing half a month ago?" Xiao Lan couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and she suddenly realized a problem.

"Yes." Eileen was taken aback, then nodded in reply.

"It was around that time that he decided to use a poison-type team first. Most of the Pokémon, such as Arbok, Drapion, and Vibranium, were caught and trained by Guxin during this period."

Eileen said with a smile.

Erin herself is not a trainer, although she knows that Guxin, who has trained Arbok and the others to be so strong in just half a month, must be a trainer with exceptional talent.

But she didn't actually have a clear concept of it.

Upon hearing this, Xiaolan, Xiaoxia, and Xiaogang were taken aback, but Xiaozhi didn't think much of it.

"Could you be more specific? Were Arboks already very strong when they were captured?"

Xiaoxia couldn't help but ask, her emotions becoming tense.

Are you kidding me? You tamed and nurtured it in just half a month? Half a month!! It's already this strong in just half a month?

"Hmm~ No, that's not true. My uncle sent Scorpion to Guxin, but Arbok was still Ekans back then. I went to Mt. Tsukimi with Guxin. Back then, Arbok couldn't even beat Meowth. It was very weak."

Eileen sighed softly, but then noticed that Xia and the other two looked extremely strange.

"Hey? What's wrong with you guys?"

"Heh heh heh... I really am a good-for-nothing..."

Xiaoxia smiled blankly, her eyes lifeless; the anxiety that had been building within her finally died.

Even Red had to travel for three or four months to reach his current strength!

What does Gushin mean by this? Is he trying to drive his fellow trainers to their deaths?!

He's so inhuman! This is so hurtful, waaaaah~

"Emmm..."

Xiao Lan and Xiao Gang couldn't help but fall into thought. They wondered if they were just too bad, or if there was something wrong with Gu Xin, or perhaps there was something wrong with the world.

After thinking for two seconds, Xiao Lan and Xiao Gang were both quite certain that they would be fine, because everyone else was like that!

Xiao Lan even felt that she was much stronger than most of her peers, okay? She wouldn't even compare herself to a monster like Crimson. After all, he's a monster, so what's there to compare?

And Guxin...

Xiao Lan was certain of one thing: the mistake wasn't hers, but Gu Xin's!

Who made him so twisted?!

Yes, Xiao Lan is sure she's not crazy; it's definitely the world that's crazy.
