Pokémon, who made him the gym leader?

Chapter 67 My Sister is Lillie

Gu Xin watched the muscular man and the karate girl leave, and fell into deep thought.

"Let's go, girl! We're never coming back to this trash gym!"

"Completely lacking in trainer spirit! Ugh! What bad luck!"

"Disgusting! Disgusting!!"

The muscular man cursed and swore as he quickened his pace.

The karate girl turned around and gave Guxin an apologetic look, to which Guxin returned a smile to indicate that it was alright.

"Haha~ Brother Guild Master, that big guy just now looked like he wanted to hit someone."

My younger sister and Meiyue also came over from the spectator stands, my younger sister smiling broadly.

"The curator is amazing!"

Mizuki was amazed.

Actually, the gym battle just now didn't end in the normal way. After Mighty was defeated, Muscle Bro simply broke his guard and stopped fighting.

For a trainer, winning without fighting is certainly something to be proud of.

"It's no big deal." Gu Xin chuckled and patted Mei Yue's head.

"Mizuki, you need to watch and learn carefully, so you can take down Watari as champion in the future."

"Brother Master!" Meiyue's fair face puffed up when Gu Xin mentioned this again.

"Haha~ Little sister, I'm going to the backyard now. If there are any challengers, come and let me know."

Gu Xin smiled, left a message for the two women, and turned to walk towards the backyard.

To be honest, I'm quite satisfied with the "power" of Gushin in my first experiment with a Dark-type team today.

Dark-type Pokémon are great for messing with people's mentality, but unfortunately, as a Gym Leader accepting a challenge, you can't normally switch Pokémon.

Otherwise, after throwing out some tough words, switch to the Soul-Hooking Eye for a high-five and a surprise attack, give the opponent a dark look, then switch back to the Blazing Roaring Tiger and do another intimidation and tough-talking combo. That's awesome!

Life and death are an endless cycle; our happiness is their ruin.

"It still needs further improvement. We also need to arrange one for Zoroya; the potential of the illusionary properties is enormous."

Guxin pondered how to improve his team, even though theoretically Gym Leaders cannot change Pokémon on their own.

However, there are no restrictions on using threats to trade Pokémon; it's considered a normal gym battle, which allows for strategic maneuvering.

"Once the Dark-type team is formed, how about we do a second round of conversions?"

Gu Xin thought about it and still felt it was feasible.

Poison type on Monday, evil type on Tuesday, poison type on Wednesday? Or should we create a wheel for challengers to spin and choose the team that lands on?

As for whether this operation will cause the challenger's Dao heart to shatter if they are prepared to deal with the poison-type challenger in advance... well, that just means the challenger is unlucky.

Moreover, as a trainer, you should learn to deal with any difficulties; that's what growth is all about!

"Let Old Deng prepare the elves for me first."

Gu Xin went to the backyard, thought for a moment, and then made a video call to his old man.

Beep~ Beep~ Beep~

The video call was answered after only three rings, and a mature and handsome middle-aged face appeared on the screen.

"Feed? Guxin, what brings you to video call me today?"

In the video, Old Deng is wearing a floral shirt and beach shorts, with sunglasses hanging on his collar, and he is smiling and waving at Guxin.

On his arms were various bags, large and small.

"I'm shopping with your mom and your sister."

The camera pans to a high-end clothing store, where a mature woman and a blonde girl in a princess dress are choosing clothes.

Guxin's eyes flickered slightly when he saw the profile of the blonde girl.

"Flowers, Lillie, Guxin is video chatting."

Old Deng shouted at the two women.

Is it really Lillie?

Gu Xin raised an eyebrow. Is it really such a coincidence?

Lillie, a girl who appears in Generation VII, is the heiress of the Aether Foundation. She runs away from home to protect Nebula and escape her mother's control, and then travels throughout the ruins to find out Nebula's origins.

In the game, Mizuki is Lillie's ideal woman. From their first meeting, the two had a fateful encounter.

Later, when Lillie was in despair because Necrozma forcibly absorbed and fused with Solgaleo (Lunala) when he first appeared in the world, it was Mizuki who saved her.

"Oh? Xin'er is video calling?"

Upon hearing the sound, the beautiful woman immediately came over with delight and snatched the phone away.

"Mom," Gu Xin said gently.

Compared to that frivolous old man, Guxin was very well-behaved in front of his mother, Ziyanghua.

"Xin'er, I saw the news from Kanto recently. My Xin'er is truly amazing." Ziyanghua's smile was very kind and proud.

"I also told the elders about you, and they were very happy for you. Your father and I were originally planning to go back to Hoenn Meteor Village after our trip to Alola, but we unexpectedly ran into Lillie."

"By the way, Xin'er, this is your younger sister, Lillie. Isn't she cute? Lillie is a very sensible child."

Hydrangea waved to the obedient person standing to the side, and Lillie also entered the video frame, her pure big eyes looking curiously at Guxin in the video.

He was exactly the same as the photos and videos his godparents showed him; a very handsome and refined young man.

"Hello, Brother Guxin, I'm Lillie."

Lillie pursed her lips, suppressing her shyness, and called out after all.

This is so surreal, even Lillie herself can hardly believe it. She escaped from the Etherland to avoid her mother, Lusamine.

However, she didn't bring much food or money with her when she escaped, and she didn't know how to do any work. Although she could fill her stomach by picking wild fruits, life was still very difficult, not to mention that Lusamine was still sending people to search for her.

Then she ran into Hydrangea and Ito, who were enjoying the scenery in the wild. Seeing how disheveled this young girl looked, Hydrangea was overcome with maternal instincts.

After hearing Lillie's fabricated story about being kicked out of her family, Hydrangea was even more furious.

And then... that was it.

Hydrangea and Ito temporarily took in Lillie, and Hydrangea insisted on recognizing Lillie as her goddaughter. Lillie initially refused, but she wasn't stubborn and eventually agreed after Hydrangea's persistent pleading.

"Hello, Lillie. It's so nice to meet you like this. I'll prepare a gift for you when I have time to go to Alola."

Gusin smiled and said to Lillie.

"No, no need to trouble you, brother," Lillie quickly refused.

"You can't refuse, okay? Is this how an older brother feels, or does Lillie not accept me as her older brother?"

"That's not how it works..."

"Then you can't refuse, right? We're family, family members who can rely on each other. It's normal for family members to exchange gifts, isn't it?"

Gu Xin spoke slowly with a gentle smile.

"..." Lillie pursed her lips and remained silent, but her eyes sparkled with emotion.

Since her biological father disappeared, her mother has started researching Ultra Beasts, but her personality has become increasingly self-centered and obsessive. The mother she used to be able to rely on and be intimate with is becoming more and more unfamiliar and frightening to her.

She rarely feels the warmth of her family anymore.

But the meticulous care from her godmother Hydrangea, the reliability of her godfather Ito, and the kindness of her brother whom she hadn't officially met yet still touched Lillie deeply.

"Thank you, brother..." Lillie lowered her head and replied softly.

"Don't mention it, we're family now." Gu Xin nodded with a smile.

"When I was little, I always wanted my parents to give me a little sister, but they just couldn't, and that's always been my regret."

"I never thought I'd have an extra god-sister now, so I guess I've finally gotten what I wanted," Gu Xin joked humorously.

"You little rascal," Old Deng, who was listening in, chuckled and cursed.

"Come to Alola as soon as you have time; we need to have a proper meal together."

"I know, I know. I'll ask the league for leave sometime."

Guxin was somewhat helpless; Alola was quite far from Kanto.

"It would be best to take a long leave, Xin'er. The elders said that Xijiana has officially become a successor and left Meteor Village. Let's go and wish Xijiana well," said Mother Ziyanghua.

Lillie listened with some curiosity. She knew that her godfather was quite remarkable, because he had proudly told her that he was the richest man in both Kanto and Tokyo...

They own 54% of Shiruff Company, which is one of the world's leading super-corporations.

But her godmother seems to have an unusual background too? A successor? From the Meteor Village? Never heard of her before…

But that doesn't sound simple.

However, Lillie remained obedient and did not ask any questions.

"……good."

Guxin paused for a moment, then nodded.

Meteor Village...
