Pokémon, who made him the gym leader?

Chapter 64 Very good, go and kill Yulongdu!

Dragon-type Pokémon are certainly very strong, and Guxin knows this very well.

Up to the latest ninth generation of Pokémon, there are a total of eleven pseudo-legendary Pokémon, including Goodra. Nine of them are Dragon-type. If we also include the new Duraludon from Crimson/Violet, that makes ten.

However, despite its high base stat total of 600, Aluminosi Bridge Dragon is not a late bloomer among Pokémon.

There are also legendary Pokémon, most of which are Dragon-type. Even Necrozma from Generation VII, in its final form, Ultra Necrozma, is Dragon-type.

The power of dragons is undoubtedly immense, which needs no further explanation.

But why does it sound so strange coming from a dodo bird?

Oh, so A-Du's Dragon Legion is actually a flying legion, then it's alright.

Guxin remembers clearly that the lineup Lance used to reach the top of Kanto in this world was Gyarados, Dragonair, Charizard, Aerodactyl, Dragonite, Dragonite...

Well, his dragon army only has Dragonite, and apart from Dragonair, all five Pokémon in the team are Flying-type.

However, many years have passed since A-du reached the summit, and A-du's lineup may have changed.

If we're talking about something like the Dragon Legion, then we have to look at the lineup that the player had when he challenged the champion, Wataru, for the second time in HeartGold and SoulSilver.

Salamence, Gyarados, Garchomp, Altaria, Charizard, and Dragonite—this lineup is barely passable as a dragon army.

Well, although this lineup still consists of five Flying-type Pokémon.

"We'll have to arrange for a fairy-type team or a snow team to take good care of this senior in the future."

Gu Xin muttered to himself as he walked out of the reception room. This Adu's aura was truly arrogant.

It would be really unfair not to take this senior seriously. By the way, let's make a bet before we fight. Whoever loses will grant the other one a request. Gu Xin has already thought it through.

From now on, I must make A-Du change the username of all his social media accounts to Dodo!

"Brother Guild Master~ What did you and Champion Du talk about?"

As soon as they stepped out of the reception room, Meiyue and her younger sister surrounded them, full of curiosity.

After all, he was the Dragon-Riding Ferryman, the man who stood at the very top of both Guandu and Chengdu.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he is the strongest trainer in Kanto, and Lance is extremely arrogant and conceited, so there is actually very little information about him.

It is said that he is either building his own Dragon Army or destroying Team Rocket's base.

Even on ordinary days, you can hardly see Adu, even on the Quartz Plateau.

"Well, what Watari means is that he wants me to be one of the Four Heavenly Kings." Gu Xin shrugged.

Wow!

"The museum owner is amazing!"

The girls exclaimed in surprise upon hearing this. That was the famously arrogant Du Guanjun! He had actually come to personally invite the gym owner!

"Did the museum owner agree?"

"Promise what? I'm not interested in the Four Heavenly Kings."

Guxin shook his head; it was the truth.

Whether they are the Elite Four or the Champions, they all bear the responsibility of protecting their region, unlike the Gym Leaders who are only responsible for honing challengers and protecting the local city.

The Four Heavenly Kings and the champions carry too much on their shoulders, and Gushin doesn't like that.

It's perfectly fine to be a gym owner and train those adorable challengers; why go looking for trouble?

"Huh?" The two women were taken aback again.

"Speaking of which, Mizuki, your dream is to become a champion, right?"

Gu Xin suddenly thought of something.

"Yes! I must become the champion!"

Meiyue straightened her chest, her fair and pretty face extremely serious, and her melodious and clear declaration was very imposing.

That's right, her goal is to become a champion! This is a goal she set when she was a child, aspiring to become a trainer.

Gu Xin nodded in satisfaction, patted the girl's rounded shoulder, and spoke earnestly.

"Very good! You're very energetic. Well then, let me set you a small goal: go and defeat Du Guanjun and take his championship title."

"Huh? Me?"

The girl's big eyes widened in disbelief as she pointed at herself.

"Um... Brother Guild Master, isn't this a bit too difficult? Why don't you try it yourself?"

"What's wrong? It's not like I'm asking you to go now. I believe you can do it in the future, and you will win!"

Gu Xin raised an eyebrow, looking at the girl who seemed on the verge of tears.

"Or are you saying, Mizuki, that you lack confidence in defeating Watari Champion?"

"..."

Mizuki fell silent, a silence that was deafening.

Does anyone in the family understand this?

She's just a young apprentice who's not even old enough to travel yet. What kind of heartless teacher would make her challenge the current strongest champion in Kanto, Dragon Crossing?

The receptionist covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Mizuki, you can't go on like this! As trainers, we should have an absolutely invincible will and belief! How can a mere Flying-type Dodo make you so weak and powerless?"

"Hey, boss, hurry up and get this over with!! I'm not even sixteen yet!!"

The girl was furious.

……

Four days passed in the blink of an eye.

Inside the Rota Dojo.

"Ugh~ I'm suddenly not used to this."

The young woman rested her chin on one hand and couldn't help but yawn.

"Right? There were so many challengers the other day, how come there are only two today?"

Mizuki tilted her head in confusion. She was grooming the Firefly's fur, and the Firefly was lying comfortably on the ground.

Three days ago, after the news from Vermilion City broadcast the story, the name of the Rota Gym came into the public eye for the first time.

Furthermore, the Kanto League also publicly praised Gushin, the leader of the Lota Gym, on its official website.

This directly made many people remember the Rota Dojo.

In the past few days, there have been many more challengers who have come specifically to take on the challenge. But strangely, many trainers come in full of enthusiasm, and then leave either cursing, expressionless, or confused.

"The positive reviews for the dojo lately have been getting weirder and weirder."

The young woman opened her phone with a strange expression and clicked into the comments section of her own dojo.

"Hehe~ This gym leader is sunny and charming, the challenge level isn't too high, and the gym service is excellent. It's definitely worth a visit. (smiling emoji)"

"Five stars! The owner, Gu Xin, is so handsome! I absolutely love him."

"Of all the gyms in Kanto, I think the Rota Gym is definitely the most worthwhile to challenge! After the battle, I felt refreshed and enlightened. Gym Leader Gushin will make you realize your own shortcomings. It will definitely be a worthwhile trip."

"I completely agree with what everyone said. The challenge of the Lota Gym is not very difficult. Although the process was a bit tortuous, I got the badge, and the gym leader also pointed out some of my problems, which was very helpful. I highly recommend everyone to try it."

"??? Are you all shills upstairs? This kind of crooked dojo, and they even opened a pharmacy right next to it selling antidotes!!! They really have no shame at all!"

"What are you talking about upstairs? Gym Leader Guxin is the most conscientious Gym Leader in Kanto! Don't listen to this hater's nonsense, everyone. Haters are shameless, even trying to discredit the Rota Gym! By the way, the Rota Gym is indeed a Water-type Gym, you know what I mean."

Emmmm......

The little girl's face scrunched up; I don't know how to explain it, but something just felt off.

Besides, the museum owner hasn't sent out any badges in the past few days, so how can this comment be misleading...?

Bang~!

Suddenly, the dojo door was kicked open, startling Mizuki and her younger sister.

"Where is the owner of this dojo?!"

A muscular man in a karate uniform walked in, his menacing expression undisguised.

"Brother, please stop!" Behind this muscular man, a girl also dressed in a karate uniform grabbed his arm and tried to dissuade him.

Especially after seeing the strange expressions on her younger sister's and Meiyue's faces, her cheeks turned slightly red.

"Xiaoyue, don't say anything, I'll handle this." The older brother still looked fierce, glaring at his younger sister and Meiyue.

"Where's your gym leader? He wouldn't even dare yell at my sister, and this bastard dared to make her cry just because I challenged a gym?!"

"Quickly, bring out your gym leader for me! I'm the number one karate king in Cerulean City! Today, I'm going to make him howl!"
