Pokémon, who made him the gym leader?

Chapter 88 I fight Articuno? Really?

"Brother Master, isn't this a bit...?"

That's a bit too outrageous!

The receptionist seemed hesitant to speak, yet remained unsure of what to say.

She and Mizuki also knew that the gym leader had caught the legendary Articuno, a truly legendary Pokémon.

Unlike Arcanine, which is classified as a "Legendary Pokémon" but actually exists in surprisingly large numbers.

You can use a Pokémon like Articuno to battle challengers...

The receptionist could already picture the scene.

Bug-catching boy, shorts boy: Go, little caterpillar (Rattata)!

Gushin: Go, Articuno!

Bug-catching boy, shorts boy: Waaaaaah~ Mom...

That's absolutely outrageous, you bastard!

"Don't worry, little sister, you should take a look at the golden legendary area on this wheel. It's just an Easter egg."

Gu Xin naturally understood what his younger sister was worried about, and smiled as he spoke.

This giant spinning wheel has such a large area, but only a tiny bit is gold. It's incredibly difficult to get to that spot, so it's destined that this gold area might not be reached even once every six months.

Moreover, even if someone does manage to land a prize, he will adjust the odds based on the actual situation, giving the challenger room to perform.

After all, the job of a gym leader is to assess the abilities of challengers, and Gushin believes he is a qualified gym leader.

"That makes sense." The younger sister tilted her head and thought about it; it seemed to make sense.

"Alright, let's go eat breakfast. Who knows, a challenger might come knocking on our door soon." Gu Xin rubbed his little sister's head.

"Ugh~ Brother Gui, stop messing with my hair! I finally managed to tie my little bun properly."

The little girl pouted, looking very unhappy.

"Haha~ Okay, then I'm very sorry." Gu Xin said with a smile, showing no sign of apology at all.

The morning passed quickly. Four challengers arrived, three of whom were new challengers who were very interested in the novel mode of the Lota Gym, where the team attributes of the Gym Leader are randomly generated by a roulette wheel.

The other challenger was a returning participant, and his expression upon seeing the spinning wheel was extremely grave and unpleasant.

He had prepared what he thought was the perfect team to deal with Poison-type Pokémon, but now the Gym Leader is telling him that the Gym Leader might use a Dark-type team.

What the hell was he preparing? Damn it! That Rota Dojo is utterly despicable!

And as expected, the old challenger switched to the evil attribute he had always longed for.

Finally, after being toyed with by the Blazing Roaring Tiger and the Soul-Hooking Eye, he was in a daze and left while muttering "despicable and shameless".

On the contrary, the other three trainers, although they also suffered a crushing defeat, were very interested in the novel mode of this gym, as it was the first time they had encountered a gym with this kind of setting.

Around 1 p.m.

"Hello, I'm Ahong from Florman City, and I'd like to challenge the gym."

A boy named Hiro, wearing a hat, walked into the Lota Gym and spoke to the little girl who was pondering how to get her Eevee.

"A challenger? Sure, the gym owner is here." The little girl blinked her big eyes, walked out from behind the counter, and led Ah Hong to the spinning wheel.

"What is this?"

Ah Hong looked at the spinning wheel, somewhat bewildered. He had challenged several dojos before, but why was the process at this dojo a little different?

"This is a unique feature of our Rota Dojo! Our gym leader is proficient in many different types, so challenger, you can spin this wheel and see which type you get!"

The young woman introduced herself with a sweet smile.

"Oh, oh, oh..."

A little captivated by the younger sister's sweet smile, Ah Hong nodded with a slightly flushed face, but then quickly realized what was happening.

"You mean, the attribute the gym leader uses for their team is determined by which attribute I switch to?"

Ah Hong was very curious, as it was the first time he had ever encountered a dojo like this.

Yes, that's right~

"And what about this gold color?"

"Hmm... the gym leader said this is the Golden Legend, and only extremely lucky challengers can witness it."

The young woman almost couldn't keep up her sweet smile as she gave the introduction.

Otherwise, let her say, "If you move to this area, you'll have to face Darkrai and Articuno?"

Yes, my younger sister and Mizuki only found out recently that the Gym Leader brother caught the legendary Mythical Pokémon Darkrai these past two days.

As expected of the gym leader, he's incredibly strong!

"I see, then I'll give it a try." Ah Hong was very interested, his eyes fixed on the gold that only occupied a small part of the area.

"Please, just press this button."

"OK".

Ah Hong decisively pressed the button, and the pointer on the dial immediately started spinning.

The pointer spun so fast that it was impossible for the human eye to see it clearly, before finally coming to a stop.

The younger sister was taken aback when she saw where the pointer had landed.

"Yay! It turned gold right away!"

Ah Hong was very happy, after all, the lovely girl had said that this was something only extremely lucky challengers could get!

Sure enough, I was incredibly lucky! Compared to the entire roulette wheel, this golden area was just a tiny bit, like a slit, yet I still managed to get it!

However, what puzzled Ah Hong was why the girl's expression seemed so strange.

"Challenger, you're quite lucky..."

The younger sister's smile was somewhat awkward, and there was a strange look in her eyes.

"Now that the team the gym leader will use has been determined, please wait here while I go and inform the gym leader."

The young woman spoke slowly with a flawless, sweet smile.

"Okay, thank you for your help."

Ah Hong didn't have to wait long before Gu Xin came from the backyard to the battlefield.

"So you're the challenger? Very good, you're the first lucky one to reach the Golden Legend level."

Guxin raised an eyebrow and quickly recalled that this Ahong was the "lucky guy" who eliminated Ash at the Indigo League.

Because Charizard wouldn't listen, Ahong narrowly defeated Ash and advanced to the quarterfinals.

But Gu Xinzhen didn't arrive, and on the very first day, a lucky boy appeared.

"Please enlighten me, Master." Ah Hong said with a cheerful smile.

The two trainers stood in their respective positions, and the referee stepped forward to announce the battle rules.

"The Gym Challenge, with the Lota Badge as the stake, will now begin. The challenger is Ahong from Florman City."

"The battle rules are two vs two, with Gym Leader Gushin going first. Gym Leaders cannot change their Pokémon. When both Pokémon of one side are unable to battle, the other side wins."

"Battle begins!"

The referee announced the result of the battle, waved the small flag, and left the battlefield.

Meanwhile, in the audience, the younger sister also pulled Mizuki, who was raising Litten cats in the backyard, over. This was a rare sight indeed!

The first lucky person to be transferred to the "Golden Legend"!

"Mr. Hiro, welcome to challenge the Rota Gym. First, please allow me to introduce myself."

"I am Gushin, the owner of this Rota Gym, and I am a multi-type trainer."

Gu Xin elegantly loosened the collar of his shirt, and a deep red precious ball in his palm slowly enlarged. He smiled at Ah Hong opposite him and spoke in a calm and unhurried tone.

Even Ahong, who is also a man, had to admit that the gym leader was really handsome and charming.

"Mr. Hiroshi, have you ever heard of the legendary Pokémon?"

"?"

Ahong was taken aback. Of course he had heard of the legendary Pokémon. As a Kanto native, he had grown up listening to stories of the legendary bird Pokémon.

But what does it mean that the curator suddenly mentioned this?

"Legendary Pokémon often possess immense power and are extremely rare. Some are revered as legendary gods or divine messengers, while others are considered creators or rulers of something in the world."

"Some of them even caused great harm in the past, but no matter what kind, legendary Pokémon possess power that is difficult for ordinary people to attain."

Gu Xin smiled and spoke slowly, his magnetic voice captivating Ah Hong.

"Mr. Ahong, have you ever seen a legendary Pokémon?" Guxin asked Ahong, changing the subject abruptly.

"I've never encountered one," Ahong replied somewhat awkwardly. Although he had always wanted to see the legendary Pokémon, it was a pity that he had never.

"I see. Well then, congratulations, Mr. Ahong."

Guxin still had that gentle smile on his lips as he tossed the precious ball in his hand.

"This was my first Pokémon."

"Articuno, prepare for battle!"

The precious sphere opened in mid-air, flashing white light.

"Yiao~!"

A melodious and ethereal cry echoed throughout the dojo. As the sound lingered, an extremely magnificent ice-blue divine bird spread its wings, a faint, beautiful blue light shimmering on its body, and frost slowly dissipated with the flapping of its wings.

The legendary Articuno! It really is Articuno!

Ah Hong was stunned!

No, Gym Leader, this can't be serious. You want me to fight Articuno?
