Pokémon, who made him the gym leader?

Chapter 61 He seems to have become withdrawn, what should I do?

Am I really suited to be a trainer?

"A strength that only I can display..."

Lei Si stared blankly at the Poké Ball in his hand, unable to comprehend it.

He is a challenger with considerable strength in the general sense, and after moving around to several regions, he chose to challenge the Kanto Battle Frontier.

Because Lei Si himself was one of the candidates for the Brain of the Battle Frontier Zone, but he was never able to find his true fighting will.

Therefore, he challenged Kamishiro, but Kamishiro's strength far exceeded his expectations, and Raiji suffered a crushing defeat without even winning a single match.

What Kamishiro said to him after the battle left Raiji completely bewildered.

Lei Si gripped his Poké Ball tightly, his lips pressed together; he needed to make a decision.

"The Gym battle with the Lota Badge as the stakes will now begin. The challenger is Raiji from the Sinnoh region."

"The battle rules are 3 vs 3. Gym leaders cannot change their Pokémon. A team loses when all three of its Pokémon are unable to battle."

"Battle begins!"

After announcing the rules of the battle, the referee slowly withdrew from the arena, leaving only Guxin and Leisi standing facing each other.

At that moment, no one noticed that a tall figure slowly walked into the dojo entrance, his black cloak fluttering gently. Finally, this figure sat down in the spectator stands and calmly watched the two people about to start their battle.

"Mr. Lei Si, I can sense that you are a mature trainer."

"But please allow me to introduce myself."

Gu Xin loosened his collar and smiled at Lei Si opposite him.

Lei Si remained silent.

"My name is Gushin, and I am the owner of this Rota Gym. I am a multi-type trainer."

Guxin raised his arm, and the Poké Ball in his palm slowly enlarged.

"But today I will use a poison-type team to battle you. You should have already faced poison-type trainers before."

"Then please experience for yourself how my poison differs from that of other poison-type trainers."

"This was my first Pokémon."

Guxin threw the Poké Ball in his hand with a backhand motion.

"Flame Queen Lizard!"

A flash of white light appeared, and a tall, eerie, and alluring black lizard landed in front of Gu Xin, slowly raising its upper body to gaze at Lei Si.

It is the Flame Queen Lizard, which evolved from the Night Thief Salamander.

Lei Si is no pushover; his strength is actually quite good. Although he was completely defeated by Shen Dai, who is Shen Dai?

The Battle Pyramid Pharaoh, who has captured the legendary Pokémon Regirock! While Age of Gods may not be as strong as those regional champions, his strength is still at the champion level.

"Ding~ Salamence, Poison/Fire type, the Poison Lizard Pokémon."

Characteristics: Corrosive

Special moves: Flame Whip, Dragon Pulse, Venom Slam, Poison, Nasty Plot, Flamethrower, Sludge Wave, Bluff, High Five...

It is said that when salamanders fight, the winner is determined by who brings more male salamanders.

Shinji, sitting in the stands, opened his Pokédex and silently looked at Salazzle's information. He was also a trainer who had just started training this year.

He had come to Kanto specifically with Lei Si to see his brother's battle, but what he saw was his brother Lei Si being completely defeated, and his brother even became "dejected" because of it.

Since that incident, Shinji, who was already rather taciturn, became even more silent.

"Flame Queen Lizard?"

Lei Si forced himself to focus all his attention on the battle, and after a moment's thought, he released his first Pokémon.

Salazzle is an Alola Pokémon. I'm not actually very familiar with Raikou, but I do know its type. However, since it's a Poison type...

"Dragon King Scorpion! Come out and fight!"

Lei Si's voice was quite cold as he threw out his first Pokémon.

A powerful dragon scorpion landed heavily in front of Lei Si, brandishing its pincers to intimidate the Flame Queen Lizard.

The Flame Queen Lizard narrowed its long, narrow eyes, staring intently at the Dragon King Scorpion.

"Huh? It's a Dragon King Scorpion!" The little girl was quite surprised to see the Dragon King Scorpion.

"They originally came from Sinnoh, but this Draconis..." Mizuki carefully observed Raiji's Draconis.

"It's not as big as the gym leader's, and it doesn't have the same imposing presence."

Mizuki offered her own assessment: according to the standard size in the Pokédex, Raiji's Dragon Scorpion should be of standard size, 1.3 meters tall and about 3 meters long, but Guxin's Dragon Scorpion was clearly more developed.

It's not that a larger size necessarily means greater strength than a smaller size, but generally, a larger size indicates that the person is likely to be well-developed and strong.

Shinji wasn't far from the two women, so he overheard their conversation, and his eyes flickered slightly.

On the field.

"Dragon King Scorpion, earthquake!" Lei Si ordered in a deep voice.

The Dragon Scorpion roared, raising its pincers high in preparation for unleashing an earthquake.

The Poison/Fire type Flame Queen is four times weak to Ground!

"A surprise high-five!"

But a flash of black light appeared in the Flame Queen Lizard's eyes, and its figure shot towards the Dragon King Scorpion at an astonishing speed, like a phantom!

A surprise high-five attack from a Normal-type character!

Bang~!

The Flame Queen Lizard's claws slammed hard onto the Dragon King Scorpion's head. The Dragon King Scorpion grunted and took two steps back, raising its pincers to shield its face.

They cowered! And it was precisely because of this cowering that Draconis did not unleash its Earthquake.

Lei Si frowned slightly, but there was really no other way. The power of the high-five attack was not high, but it was a preemptive move that could only be used when entering the field, so its priority was too high.

"Highly poisonous!" Gu Xin's lips curled into a slight smile.

"What?"

Lei Si was taken aback, then his expression changed.

The Flame Queen Lizard opened its mouth and shot a pool of deep purple venom at the Dragon King Scorpion. The Dragon King Scorpion had just finished flinching and, due to its large size, had no way to dodge.

The highly venomous liquid struck the Dragon King Scorpion squarely in the face, causing it to growl in anger.

However, the next moment, the highly venomous liquid had already entered the body of the Dragon King Scorpion.

The next second, a strange and terrifying deep purple poisonous light shone from the Dragon King Scorpion's entire body, and patches of venomous spots that made one's scalp crawl appeared on the Dragon King Scorpion's body.

The Dragon King Scorpion bent over in agony, the intense venom corroding from the inside out, causing excruciating pain.

"The Corrosion ability?" Lei Si was not an inexperienced trainer. He had heard of the Corrosion ability, which could poison Poison and Steel-type Pokémon. However, this was the first time he had encountered it.

I feel a little uncomfortable...

Lei Si frowned deeply as he looked at the Dragon King Scorpion, which was being ravaged by the deadly poison.

"Dragon King Scorpion, Rock Slide!"

However, Lei Si quickly calmed down. Although he was poisoned, it didn't matter. The initial poison damage wasn't severe, and the Dragon King Scorpion could still continue fighting.

Upon hearing Lei Si's voice, the Dragon King Scorpion, despite its discomfort, brandished its two pincers and swung them, sending chunks of rock collapsing and shooting towards the Flame Queen Lizard in front of it.

Rock-type Rock Slide! Also effective against Flame Queen.

"Get out of the way," Gu Xin ordered casually.

The Flame Queen Lizard braced itself on one claw, effortlessly and swiftly dodging the collapsing rocks, its movements natural yet exuding an inexplicable elegance.

The Flame Queen Lizard is proud of its special attack and agile speed!

With such a straightforward rockfall attack, even if it came ten times, it wouldn't be able to hit Guxin's Flame Queen Lizard.

"Flame Blast!"

It quickly moved to the side of the Dragon King Scorpion, and the Flame Queen Lizard gathered a dense red flame in its mouth, from which a fierce pillar of fire shot out.

Boom!

The jet of flame struck the Dragon Scorpion squarely, causing it to explode, scattering flames and sending a wave of heat through the air.

"The owner is awesome!!"

Seeing that Guxin had gained the upper hand, the little sister happily clenched her fist.

"Yes~" Mizuki's pure face was also beaming with pride, after all, this was her teacher!

Shinji's face was calm, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

"earthquake!!"

Lei Si's tone already carried a hint of agitation.

The draco swung its pincers, attempting to unleash an earthquake, but at that moment, a terrifying, deep purple light flashed across its body once more, causing the draco to groan in pain.

A second wave of highly toxic infection!

Lei Si's expression instantly turned ugly; things were in trouble.

"One more flamethrower!"

Compared to Lei Si, Gu Xin was calm and composed at this moment.

The Flame Queen Lizard didn't even change its position before spewing out another burst of scorching flame.

boom!

The flames exploded on Dracovish's body again, accompanied by Dracovish's inconsolable roar of pain. The flames spread out, and the temperature in the air began to rise.

Lei Si's eyes were very gloomy. He never expected that Dragon King Scorpion, one of the generals in his team, would be beaten like this!

Moreover, this is the second time the poison has been used, and the damage will increase with each subsequent use. The Dragon King Scorpion's condition is already quite poor, so it cannot continue fighting.

"Come back, you've really disappointed me."

Lei Si recalled Drapion and looked at the Drapion's Poké Ball with a cold expression. He was never stingy with his praise for the main force that had lost the battle.

Upon seeing this, Gu Xin raised an eyebrow.

However, compared to Shinji's classic "Come back, you useless thing" in the original work, Gushin felt that Raiji was quite restrained.

"Starhawk!"

Raiji threw out a second Poké Ball.

A handsome eagle-like Pokémon flaps its wings in the air; it is none other than the Flying-type Normal-type Staraptor.

If it weren't for the deadly poison, Gyrocopter wouldn't have fallen into such a disadvantage so quickly. But if he used Staraptor, it wouldn't be so easy for the Gym Leader to poison Staraptor.

"Starhawk! Swallow Return!"

Lei Si launched a decisive attack. His Starhawk was very agile and swift, and Lei Si was very confident.

The Mk Eagle made a rapid circle in the air, and then suddenly swooped down at high speed toward the Flame Queen Lizard on the ground.

but……

"bluff."

The Flame Queen Lizardman stood up, one hand on her hip in an extremely sinister pose, her narrow mouth conveying a mocking and sarcastic expression.

The general department is just bluffing!

"Muk Eagle!" Lei Si's expression changed slightly.

A mysterious fluctuation emanated, and the Mk Eagle Swallow swooped down, successfully striking the Flame Queen Lizard. The Flame Queen Lizard cried out in pain and was knocked back.

However, after defeating the Flame Queen Lizard, the Mk Eagle remained in place, its body swaying slightly, and white light flashing around it.

Staraptor's physical attack has been greatly increased, but Staraptor is confused!

Seeing Muke Eagle's lifeless eyes and swaying body, Lei Si's expression darkened once again.

"Highly poisonous," Guxin said with a light laugh.

Indeed, it is not easy for a poisonous creature to hit a flying and agile Starhawk, but can't we just create the right conditions?

As for the issue of bluffing causing Starhawk to gain a two-level physical attack boost...

LOL. Not to mention that the Starhawk is still in a state of confusion, even if the confusion ends, can the Starhawk hit the Saurami that is trying to defend and dodge?

The Flame Queen Lizard's long, narrow mouth stretched almost to the corners of its eyes, giving it a very sinister look.

A pool of deep purple venom was spat out by the Flame Queen Lizard, shooting straight at the Muk Eagle that was shaking its head in place.

"Starhawk! Get out of the way!"

Lei Si shouted immediately.

To Lei Si's ashen face, Muke Eagle was still swaying and hadn't heard him at all.

Under Lei Si's livid expression, the poison was successfully applied to the Mk Eagle's body, and the Mk Eagle was also poisoned.

Things were already chaotic, and now they've been poisoned...

What the hell?!

Lei Si felt a sudden darkness before his eyes and his head spinning; he even began to question the meaning of life.

Why is it so hard to beat a gym? Am I really that weak?

Lei Si's face was pale, and he looked down at the ground in despair, his mind completely blank.

Gu Xin looked at Lei Si, who was sitting opposite him with his head down and a dim aura, and fell into deep thought.

He seems to have driven the challenger to despair. What should you do in this situation? Nobody's ever told me...
