Pokémon, who made him the gym leader?

Chapter 75 Are Mini Dragons really that worthless?

Rika's mansion.

"Please enjoy your tea, gentlemen. My tea skills are not as good as those of the masters, please don't laugh at me."

Lijia had already taken a bath and changed into a beautiful kimono. She gently raised her fair wrist and poured tea for Guxin and Xiaolan.

At this moment, Lijia was elegant, quiet, and gentle, completely unlike the cheerful girl she was talking in the group chat.

Indeed, this is true. Rika was a young lady from a wealthy family who owned her own perfume shop. She was also an excellent florist who loved flower arranging.

With her fair and innocent appearance, and being the gym leader of Celadon City, Rika can definitely be described as a beautiful, rich, and successful woman.

"Very good." Gu Xin smiled after taking a sip.

"I am so grateful to Master Gu Xin for saving me today. If it weren't for Master Gu Xin saving me, I'm afraid..."

"Master Lijia, you've brought this up many times already," Guxin interrupted Lijia, shaking his head.

"As fellow Gym Leaders of the Kanto League, it's only natural for us to help each other, especially since Gym Leader Rika risked her life to find out about Team Rocket's base," Gushin said slowly.

"No, even so, this is still a life-saving favor for me."

Rika is very stubborn. If Gushin hadn't saved her, and Athena hadn't captured her and taken her back to Team Rocket's base, Rika wouldn't have dared to imagine what she would have faced.

But she's bound to encounter a lot of terrible things, right? After all, she's an infiltrator and one of the official gym leaders of the League, not some nobody.

"That's right~ Master Rika, I suggest you say something like, 'I have no way to repay your life-saving grace, so I can only repay you with my body,' hehehe~"

While eating her snacks, Xiao Lan's cheeks were bulging out like a hamster's, and she encouraged Li Jia to let out a strange "hehehe" laugh.

"This..." Lijia was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, and then her cheeks flushed red.

She was indeed very grateful to Gu Xin, but to offer herself in return... that was just too much.

"Don't talk nonsense." Gu Xin glared at Xiao Lan in annoyance.

"What? Master Rika just wanted to thank you, and it's not like Master Rika is losing out." Little Blue rolled her eyes and muttered.

Xiao Lan thinks Li Jia made a huge profit, not just a loss.

Guxin has the looks, the skill, and the money; his trainer talent is even more monstrous than a monster's!

Last week, I had to fight Apollo alongside Crimson, but now I'm completely dominating Athena!

"Shut up." Gu Xin stuffed a piece of cake into Xiao Lan's mouth.

Little Blue's eyes widened; this cake was huge!

"Please don't mind, Master Lijia, Xiaolan is just a bit mischievous," Guxin apologized to Lijia.

"It's okay." Lijia smoothed her hair behind her ear, her eyes slightly unfocused, and she didn't dare to look at Guxin.

She knew Xiao Lan was teasing her, but such words were still a bit too much for a young, unmarried woman like her. She wasn't as quirky and clever as Xiao Lan.

"If Master Gu Xin needs anything in the future, please feel free to contact me at any time. I will never refuse."

Lijia smiled reservedly, but her tone was very serious.

"Okay, if there's anything I can help you with, Ms. Lijia, I won't hesitate to ask," Guxin replied with a smile.

"By the way, Guxin, how come your Magic Masked Cat is so strong?"

Little Blue took another bite of the cake, looking very curious.

"Magic Masked Cat was my starter Pokémon, so it's normal for it to be strong, isn't it?" Guxin shrugged, looking somewhat innocent.

"Then may I ask, Master Guxin, where did you obtain it?" Lijia asked, equally curious.

"I received this when I went to Pokémon School. I fell in love with it at first sight when it was a Leafeon. I guess you could say it was fate."

Guxin replied with a smile that he wasn't lying about this. The Pokémon school Guxin attended would distribute starter Pokémon, and sometimes they would also give out starter Pokémon from other regions.

Just like Riko in Pokémon Horizon, she received her new Leafeon at the Pokémon School in Viridian City.

"If Director Rika likes Magical Masked Cat, she could go to the Padia region, or ask a friend to send one over."

Gushin sensed Rika's fondness for the Masked Cat, since Rika was fond of Grass-type Pokémon.

"Thank you, I understand." Lijia said thoughtfully.

The three then enjoyed tea and conversation while the Yuhong City police began their operation.

The area near the arcade has been temporarily sealed off by Officer Jenny and the guests and the public have been evacuated.

Team Rocket is the largest evil organization in the Kanto region, and this cancer will never be tolerated once it is discovered!

However, the Yuhong Game City area is a popular location in Yuhong City, and it will take time to completely evacuate the residents.

With a domineering roar, a ferocious fossil pterosaur descended from the sky and landed in the courtyard of Lijia's mansion.

A young man with blood-red hair leaped off the fossil pterosaur; it was none other than Yulongdu.

"Watari Champion, you're here so fast."

Gu Xin and the other two walked out of the house.

Disguised, Xiao Lan curiously peeked at the Kanto champion. His first impression was that he was truly eye-catching, with an arrogance and imposing presence like a dragon.

Lijia was somewhat cautious. She had heard many rumors about Adu, but they all pointed to Adu's arrogant, aloof, and difficult-to-get-along-with personality.

"I've already heard from Officer Jenny, Gusin, you did a great job."

A faint smile appeared on Adu's aloof face as he looked at Gu Xin with satisfaction.

As expected of my junior!

Although Awakening looks down on Athena, he has to admit that the Rockets' senior officers are all incredibly cunning, making it extremely difficult to catch them accurately.

This time, however, Guxin captured Athena. Wataru grew to like this junior more and more. As expected, the Viridian Forest never made the wrong choice!

"When I return to Quartz Plateau, I will personally apply for a reward for you from the president. What do you want this time?"

A-Du is never stingy with his praise for outstanding juniors.

"Thank you, Champion Lance, but I still want a Pokémon with exceptional talent." Guxin pondered for a moment.

"It would be even better if we had a young Gilas or another quasi-god embryo."

A-Du raised an eyebrow; this junior was truly "greedy."

"As my junior, it's necessary for you to have ambition." Yulongdu grinned.

An excellent quasi-god embryo, once successfully nurtured, can naturally serve as the backbone or even the ace of the team!

"But Guxin, raising dragons takes time and effort. How's the mini-dragon I entrusted to you coming along?"

Yulongdu's eyes were sharp. Although he looked forward to the growth and challenges of this junior, he did not want Guxin to neglect others because he was too focused on pursuing powerful Pokémon.

"Don't worry, Lance, I won't neglect any of my own Pokémon."

"That's excellent."

A-Du nodded in satisfaction and then pondered for a moment.

"I will relay your request to the president, but I cannot guarantee whether the president will agree or not, but I believe there should be no problem."

A-Du spoke calmly.

Athena is one of Team Rocket's four generals and also a Champion-level trainer. Capturing a pseudo-legendary baby is indeed not a problem for her.

After all, she's a top-tier member of an evil organization! Letting her remain at large is a huge problem for the Pokémon League.

"If the guild leader doesn't agree, I'll personally give you another Mini Dragon, one with different traits than yours."

Adu pondered for a moment and added, "I remember that Guxin's has the molting trait, so I can't send any more molting ones."

Hearing Adu's tone, as simple as asking for water, both Xiaolan and Lijia were somewhat taken aback.

Oh... are Mini Dragons really that cheap?

"Then thank you in advance, Champion Wataru." Guxin didn't refuse. Although he already had a Dragonite, you can never have too many, right?

And this is a heartfelt gift from A-du!

"You and I are both people who have received gifts from the Viridian Forest. From now on, you can call me senior," Awatari said calmly.

"Yes, Watari-senpai!"

Gu Xin finally realized that A Du's attitude towards him was different, mainly because it was too obvious.

From beginning to end, A-Du's gaze was fixed on him, without even glancing at Xiao Lan and Li Jia.

Clearly, in Adu's eyes, these two people weren't even worth a second of his time to look at.

"Let's go, let's deal with those filthy rats."

With a flick of his cloak, Adu leaped back onto the aerodramus, his indifferent voice carrying over.

The Rockets are a bunch of damn scum!

Adu's eyes were icy cold.

It is now 6:30 pm, and the sky is already dark.

The fossil pterosaur gently flapped its wings and floated in mid-air. Adu crossed his arms, his blood-red hair blowing in the night wind, and expressionlessly looked down at the huge game city.

Below, police officers stood ready for action.

Outside the area, a middle-aged man in a suit and a black bowler hat squinted at Adu in the sky.

"Boss?"

"No rush, let's wait a bit."

The middle-aged man in the suit had a soft, magnetic voice. If Apollo and Lance could successfully evacuate with the important data, he wouldn't need to intervene.
