Pokémon, who made him the gym leader?

Chapter 87 Challenger Benefits at Rota Dojo

"Eat more, eat more, grow up quickly!"

Guxin sat on the picnic mat and opened two more boxes of energy cubes for Young Gilas, patting its little head with a smile.

"You~!"

Young Gilas was overjoyed and plunged headfirst into the energy cube again.

Meanwhile, Shiny Gastly let out a burp and stared in astonishment at the still flamboyant Larvitar. What was this thing?

Is its stomach a bottomless pit? How does it grow like that?

"Buyi~"

Ibu, perched on Gushin's lap, gazed at Young Giras with great curiosity.

"Don't follow its example. Young Gilas's appetite is far beyond yours. Don't overeat and get sick."

Gusin gently stroked Eevee's soft fur, while reminding Shiny Gastly and Eevee.

Larvitar is a classic example of a "late bloomer" Pokémon, because it needs to accumulate a lot of nutrients to evolve.

The Pokédex describes Young Gilas as being able to eat a mountain, which is an example. Of course, it doesn't mean that Young Gilas really only eats dirt; what it eats is mainly the nutrients in the soil.

Therefore, feeding it nutritious energy cubes is also an option, as it can accelerate its growth. However, this is something that only people with substantial wealth can do.

Of course, Guxin isn't short of money, but he has a faster way to evolve Larva. Well, he has a cheat code.

"These are truly wonderful days."

Gu Xin took a leisurely sip of water and gazed into the distance.

Darkrai is sparring with Masked Meow, but due to the difference in strength, Darkrai is basically being taught a lesson by Masked Meow.

But Darkrai is very spirited, and its desire to become stronger is unwavering.

"Magic Mask Meowth, Dracovish, Incineroar, Sableye, Darkrai, and Tyranitar to come, that's basically all there."

Guxin thought for a moment and realized that he had already assembled a full team of Dark-type Pokémon, but the strength of this team was not suitable for most challengers.

"We'll launch a new region tonight."

In the simulated growth world, you can no longer stay in Guandu to level up; you need to unlock new maps.

During this period, in order to quickly level up the newly added Pokémon, he did not go to open new regions.

There's no way around it; opening a new region means starting all over again. Leveling up is too slow; it's nowhere near as fast as grinding levels in the high-level maps of Kanto.

Speaking of which, this system is really insidious. It doesn't allow you to challenge the Four Heavenly Kings repeatedly, otherwise your level-up speed would definitely be faster.

"The two attributes, poison and evil, can basically be switched."

Guxin pondered that once Old Deng sent over the new Dark-type Pokémon, his Dark-type team would be fully formed.

One team is enough to handle strong challengers, and two teams are enough to handle weak challengers—perfect.

From now on, his dojo will no longer be just a poison-type dojo!

Time flies, and it's Monday again.

"Ta-da! I'm back at the Rota Dojo!"

Pushing open the dojo door, the receptionist, dressed in a clean short-sleeved shirt and skirt, called out energetically, looking a bit like a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur).

Beside her, Mizuki covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Huh? What's this?"

But soon, the two women discovered a new object in front of the hall.

"Is this a turntable? What's it for?"

Mizuki walked over, looking at the facility, which resembled a lottery wheel, with a puzzled expression.

The roulette wheel is simply divided into three sections, with dark purple and black occupying 99% of the wheel and gold accounting for 1%.

"This is for challengers," a clear and gentle voice said.

Mizuki and her younger sister immediately recognized it.

"Good morning, Gym Owner! Wow! What an adorable Eevee!"

The little girl turned around and greeted them with a smile, but her eyes were immediately drawn to Eevee yawning in Guxin's arms—the adorable little fox!

Mizuki, standing to the side, also had bright, sparkling eyes. Girls, after all, generally have little resistance to cute Pokémon.

Even Mizuki, who doesn't consider herself a looks-oriented person, is like that.

Ibrahimovic noticed their gazes and tilted his head in confusion.

"Gym Leader, is this the new Pokémon you caught?"

"Yes, isn't it cute?"

Guxin lifted Eevee's little paw, waved it at the two girls, and laughed.

To be honest, Eevee is so small and soft, it's really comfortable to hug, and it would be perfect as a pillow at night.

"Waaah~ It's so cute, Brother Pavilion Owner, can I hug it?" The little girl bit her finger, full of anticipation.

"We'll have to ask Ibrahimovic for his opinion."

However, it's clear that Ibrahimovic is wary of anyone other than Gushin, and no matter how much his little sister tempts him with snacks, he refuses to let her touch him.

Well, although my younger sister didn't give up.

"Brother Guild Master, what's the purpose of this spinning wheel?" Meiyue was still very curious about the use of this spinning wheel.

"This is for the challengers to spin themselves, to add a bit more fun to the gym challenge," Guxin replied with a smile.

"Interesting?"

Both the younger sister and Meiyue were puzzled.

"Yes, you should understand what these two colors represent, right? Switching to Poison means the challenger will face me using a Poison-attribute team, and switching to Evil means I'll use an Evil-attribute team."

"Isn't it interesting?"

Guxin's smile remains as radiant as ever.

Upon hearing this, Meiyue and her younger sister were stunned.

No, Gym Leader, I think the challenger might smash our gym's windows after the fight!

The younger sister and Meiyue were internally ranting and raving. The poison-type team that the gym leader used had already been criticized, and some unconvinced challengers went back and racked their brains to come up with a countermeasure.

When they tried again, they were switched to a Dark-type team...

Ah this...

Little sister has already thought of it. The Rota Gym will have its third name online after Heretical Gym and Cancer Gym: Vicious Gym!

"Currently, the team is not yet complete, so it only has the evil and poison attributes. I will add and improve it later."

Gu Xin is really looking forward to it; there are eighteen different attributes in the lucky draw.

"Brother Curator, what about this gold one?"

Mizuki then pointed to the gold one that occupied one percent of the roulette wheel. What attribute does this gold have?

"Oh, that's an Easter egg, a perk for the challengers."

"what?"

The younger sister was taken aback.

"Gym Leader, the League doesn't approve of gyms directly giving away badges!" the little sister hurriedly said.

She was terrified that her brother, the gym leader, would do something that would get him punished by the Pokémon League.

"What are you thinking? How could I possibly give away badges for free?"

Guxin looked at his little sister strangely. This was simply an insult to the challenger's dignity. How could a qualified gym leader like him do such a thing?

"What kind of perk is that? Is the owner going to give me a gift?" Meiyue asked, even more curious.

"Being able to reach this gold zone shows that these challengers are extremely lucky and have great fortune, so I'm going to reward them."

Gu Xin smiled and said.

"Once we get to the Gold Zone, I'll battle them with a team of Legendary Pokémon! How about that? No problem, right?"

This was a thought that Guxin came up with after careful consideration. After all, it would be a waste to capture a legendary creature and then not use it for battle.

Gushin didn't want his legendary Pokémon to gather dust. He was a trainer, not a breeder. Once a Pokémon is caught, it should be used for battles, right? Otherwise, what's the point of just letting it sit there? That's not good for the Pokémon either.

So he included this Easter egg, the Golden Legend bonus!

Ordinary people may never see a legendary Pokémon in their entire lives, but the kind and great Gym Leader of Rota City is willing to bestow this honor upon lucky challengers!

Not only did they see incredibly rare legendary Pokémon, they even got to battle them directly!

Being able to face legendary Pokémon is definitely a perk! A huge perk, no less! Guxin thinks even if the challenger loses, they'll have something to brag about for a lifetime, right?

Well, although Guxin only has Articuno and Darkrai right now, it doesn't matter. When he catches Eterna and Necrozma in the future, the challengers will definitely feel excited and joyful to see such powerful legends standing opposite them!

"Clam??!"

Mizuki and her younger sister were dumbfounded.
