Pokémon, who made him the gym leader?

Chapter 8 How do I beat this dojo?

"Karakara, charge over there and start hitting me with your bone club!"

Shigeru's handsome and arrogant face was now very solemn. This gym battle was only 2 vs 2, which meant that Cubone was his last hope.

He certainly doesn't want to collapse here!

The Lota Gym is one of the worst-reputed gyms ever!

How could he, the grandson of Shigeru Oki and Yukinari Oki, be unable to even beat a dojo like this?

No, absolutely not! We will win!

He was just too careless. If he hadn't been poisoned, his Wartortle wouldn't have lost.

He needs to be extra careful this time!

Cara Cara let out a low growl, gripped its bone club tightly, and charged toward Good and Bad Star.

Moreover, it doesn't rush straight forward headlong, but rather constantly shifts left and right to confuse the vision of good and bad stars.

Well, although in Gusin's opinion, Caracalla's speed was indeed a bit unnecessary.

However, this also shows that Gary's training of his Pokémon is not mindless.

Unfortunately, it was all for naught; this roundabout route actually increased the time Caracalla spent getting closer to the good and bad stars.

"Good and bad star, poison dart." Gu Xin said with a faint smile.

Good and Bad Star raised its two tentacles, and deep purple poisonous energy condensed between the two tentacles, eventually forming a spherical shape.

"Karakara! Stop him!"

Xiao Mao frowned slightly upon seeing this. Poisonous Spikes?

Poison-type trainers are indeed a niche group, which also leads to the general public not being very familiar with the specific techniques and tactics of Poison-type Pokémon.

So when Guxin saw his dad send him a Starbucks, he immediately decided to use the Poison type as the signature move for the gym in the early stages.

According to Guxin's memories, in the entire Pokémon series, including the games, special episodes, and anime, there were only a handful of Poison-type Pokémon experts.

The Elite Four (Gym Leaders) of the first and second generations: Aki, who succeeded Aki as Gym Leader; Homiga, the Gym Leader of the fifth generation; Bulma, a member of Team Skull in the seventh generation; Clara, the Gym Leader of the eighth generation; and Akira of Team Celestia in the ninth generation.

And then? That's it!

Among these poison-type experts, only A-Ju truly deserves the title, as he is an Elite Four level trainer; the others are just mediocre fry.

Unless we include the Elite Four member, Grandma Akiko, from the first generation. Although Grandma Akiko is known as an expert in Ghost-type Poison, she is actually quite knowledgeable about Poison-type Poison as well.

Therefore, the general public actually knows very little about the poison attribute, because there is no place for the poison attribute among the mainstream attributes. It is an attribute that is almost ignored, so naturally not many people will spend time to understand it in depth.

As for the move Poison Spike, Gary had only seen it in a Pokémon movebook and vaguely remembered that it was a crowd control move similar to a terrain control move.

But no matter what, preventing your opponent from using their special move is never a bad thing.

"It's too late." Gu Xin chuckled softly.

As Caracara rushed in front of him, Good and Bad Star raised its tentacles and sent the purple sphere into the air.

Poison-type Poison Spikes!

bang~

Like fireworks exploding, the poisonous quartz sphere exploded completely in mid-air, and streams of obviously illicit purple fluid scattered down.

The moment the poison dart entered the battlefield, the entire battlefield seemed to light up with a layer of eerie purple light, but then it returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.

But is that really all there is to it?

Xiao Mao naturally understood that it was impossible, and a bad premonition rose in his heart, but now it was too late to stop it.

The good news is that Caracalla has finally arrived in front of the Good and Bad Stars.

"Calaclala!"

Cara Cara let out a low growl and swung the bone club in its hand at Good and Bad Star, smashing it directly onto Good and Bad Star's head.

The ground-type bone club was used to attack randomly.

As it was struck by the bone clubs, Goodstar let out a piercing groan of pain; the ground-type bone club attacks were causing it a lot of damage.

One, two, three.

Caracara swung his bone club three times in a row, knocking both the good and bad stars back and knocking them to the ground, their breaths much weaker.

Upon seeing this, the beautiful cheerleaders in the audience screamed excitedly, cheering enthusiastically for Xiao Mao.

"Don't let it get away! Use your stomp!"

Xiao Mao was overjoyed and immediately ordered Karakara to give chase.

Cara Cara let out a low groan and took another step toward the Good and Bad Star, but it was this one step...

A chilling, eerie purple poisonous light instantly spread across Karakara's entire body. The intense, corrosive pain caused Karakara's body to bend uncontrollably, emitting a painful scream.

The first invasion of poison chaff! (See PS)

"What?" Xiao Mao's eyes widened.

"Good or bad star, missile pin." Guxin was not surprised at all.

Good and Bad Star struggled to adjust its body and raise its tentacles. White energy flashed, and a large number of missile needle beams shot out.

Boom boom boom!

The missiles continued to bombard the Karakara, who was completely defenseless due to the poison darts, and the explosions were deafening.

"Crackling sound!" Xiao Mao's expression changed; something was wrong!

As the missile needles exploded, thick smoke and dust billowed up, obscuring Caracalla's figure.

However, Guxin didn't care about this. Caracalla has high physical defense, and the knockback projectiles weren't effective against Caracalla, so the damage they did to Caracalla was actually limited.

However, it's not a big problem; we can take it slowly.

"Good and bad stars, self-regenerating."

Good and Bad Star stood up, and a dazzling white light flashed around its body once again.

Through self-regeneration, the wounds left on Good and Bad Star's body from being beaten by the bone club healed rapidly.

In a short while, the aura of the good and bad stars returned to normal.

"..."

Shigeru watched helplessly as Good and Bad Star recovered, his face turning extremely grim.

As the smoke cleared, Caracalla reappeared. Despite being hit by a barrage of poison shards and a volley of missiles, Caracalla's stamina was still quite good.

"Karakara, are you alright?"

But Shigeru was still a little worried because the way he looked after being attacked by the poison darts was too similar to being poisoned. (See PS)

But it doesn't seem like poisoning now?

Karakara responded, indicating that he was fine.

"Excellent! This time, let's take it down in one fell swoop!"

Xiao Mao was relieved. It wasn't that he was poisoned; it was okay, he could still win!

"Clang! Clang! Use the bone club to hit me randomly!"

Caracara gripped his bone club and charged once more with great momentum toward the Good and Bad Stars that were right in front of him.

Good and Bad Star tilted its head slightly and stood there blankly watching Kara Kara rush over.

What do you mean? You don't even want to hide?

Xiaomao was stunned.

"Mr. Xiao Mao, don't you know anything about Poisonous Spikes?" Gu Xin couldn't stand it anymore and spoke to Xiao Mao tactfully.

"?"

"Poison Spikes will trigger more than once unless you clear them out."

Gu Xin explained to Xiao Mao.

"!!" Xiao Mao's eyes widened again.

Just then, as Karakara, who had rushed to the front of Good and Bad Star, landed on her right foot, a familiar, eerie, deep purple poisonous light once again permeated her entire body, and the intense poisonous thorns began to erode her body again.

Carakara stopped abruptly, letting out a low moan of pain.

Meanwhile, the Caracara, corrupted by the poisonous stalagmite, was completely unprepared in front of the Good and Bad Star.

"I'll beat the hell up!"

Seeing this, Xiao Mao's mind went blank, and he finally broke down.

How do I beat this gym?!
