Pokémon, who made him the gym leader?

Chapter 97 Master Gu Xin, you've mistaken me for someone else!

Gu Xin's expression is very strange right now. If I had to describe it, it would be like this: 囧!

He only wanted to tease Qinglv with Crimson, but he didn't expect that Qinglv, that stubborn brat, would actually get angry.

"Mr. Blue Green, a gym challenge is not something to be taken lightly. Besides, with your strength, even if you don't defeat me, you are already qualified to receive the Rota Badge."

The subtext is: Stop acting like a scoundrel and hurry up and take your badge back to where you came from.

Guxin organized his thoughts, took out the Rota badge box he always carried, and handed it to Qinglu.

Although Blue Green did indeed suffer a rather crushing defeat in this gym battle, after all, Darkrai swept all three of them.

But this does not prevent Qinglv from being worthy of the badge.

This is the third time that Guxin has tried to give away the Rota Badge. The first time was to Crimson, and the second time was to a diligent, constantly challenging bespectacled man.

The third color was cyan.

Guxin's standards for awarding badges are actually quite high; strength (potential), willpower, mentality, and command ability are all indispensable.

Although he always presents a gentle and sunny image, Guxin is proud at heart. He would never give a badge to someone who does not have his approval.

To participate in the Indigo League, you only need eight gym badges. However, there are more than a dozen official gyms in the Kanto region, plus a few other unknown gyms. Even if you don't have the Rota Gym badge, you can still participate in the tournament by challenging other gyms.

Therefore, Gushin will not lower the standards for awarding badges; he wants to make the Rota Gym the most prestigious gym!

"Master Gu Xin, what do you mean by this?"

But when Qinglu saw Guxin hand over the brocade box containing the Rota Dojo, her face immediately turned ugly.

"Don't misunderstand, Mr. Blue. As Professor Oak's grandson, you should understand that the conditions for a Gym Leader to award a badge are not limited to defeating the Gym Leader."

"With all due respect, you're practically guaranteed to win the Indigo League if nothing unexpected happens. You deserve this Evil.Lota Badge."

Gu Xin opened the brocade box and spoke gently to Qing Lü.

Upon hearing this, Qinglu's brows remained furrowed as she looked down at the badge that Guxin had named the Evil. Rota Badge.

The badge is exquisitely crafted, shimmering with a faint fluorescent light. Its sharp, emerald-green color immediately reveals that the materials used to create it are likely of exceptional quality.

The badge is also decorated with a small, dazzling black diamond, which is very beautiful.

"Currently, the Rota Gym has created two different types of gym badges: Dark and Poison. They will only be awarded if the user of the corresponding type approves of me."

Good grief, this gym is really flashy! Even the gym badges have different attributes? What, are you going to make eighteen different attribute gym badges?

Qinglu was stunned; she was utterly astonished.

"Actually, normally, I would take a challenger with your strength, Mr. Qinglv, seriously."

"Moreover, this badge should be a testament to your honor after defeating me, but... since I 'awakened,' I haven't issued a single gym badge, which doesn't seem quite right."

Gushin spoke with a hint of helplessness. Although Officer Jenny understood his criteria for awarding badges, after all, each gym leader had a different personality and a different level of scrutiny for challengers.

However, Guxin hasn't issued a single badge in a month and a half, which is even more exaggerated than the Viridian Gym and Cinnabar Gym. Officer Jenny is also feeling a bit of a headache. She even talked to him about this at noon.

Hearing Gu Xin's "heartfelt words," Qing Lü's expression improved considerably.

He has a strong sense of pride, which is why, in the original story, he was knocked down by Red almost as soon as he became the champion, causing his mentality to collapse.

"Master Gu Xin, I must solemnly tell you, you've misjudged him!!"

A haughty look appeared on his handsome, green face. He straightened his spiky hair, which had been a mess, and his whole appearance brightened up again.

"I am Green! Heh~ Even if I want to get the badge, I will defeat you fair and square to get it."

"You're actually going to give it to me? What do you mean by this? This is an insult to me!"

"If this person isn't you, Master Guxin, hmph~"

Qinglu hummed twice, her tone as arrogant and conceited as ever.

But at this moment, Gu Xin found this proud young man surprisingly amusing and adorable.

"But Mr. Green, this is what you deserve..."

"No, not at all!"

Qinglu interrupted Gu Xin's words with a dashing wave of his arm, speaking righteously and loudly.

"Even if I never get the Rota Badge, I will never accept something given away for free. If I accept this badge, how am I any different from a beggar?"

Qinglu's tone was absolutely resolute, which was exactly what he was thinking at that moment.

Upon hearing Qinglu's words, Meiyue and Xiaomei in the audience looked at Qinglu in surprise, and their opinion of this arrogant guy changed considerably.

Although he is arrogant, he is indeed very principled.

"Besides... I don't think I can't get your badge on my own merits." Qinglu changed the subject and looked at Guxin.

"Master Guxin, I must admit, I have to admit you're worthy of my respect. You're the first man to give me a crushing defeat!"

"Then I am honored." Gu Xin couldn't help but laugh. As expected of Qinglu, even though he lost, his demeanor and tone were as if he had won.

"This isn't funny! Master Guxin, you don't understand." Qinglu saw Guxin's smile, but still wanted to explain earnestly.

"I've been a prodigy since I was a child! No one! Absolutely no one can compare to me! Not even that annoying Chi!"

Qinglu was not lying; Chi was his formidable rival, but the two had fought five times so far.

Qinglu's record is three wins and two losses. Well, Qinglu always felt that the two losses were because Chihong was lucky, otherwise he should have had a perfect record.

"Mr. Green, the world is very big."

Seeing that Qinglu genuinely felt this way, Guxin couldn't help but feel a little helpless. Why was Qinglu's pride so ingrained?

It's precisely because he always believed he was a genius! He was special!

"Of course, the world is vast, but Master Guxin, I must tell you, I will definitely stand at the pinnacle!"

Qinglv's dream since childhood has been to become the world's strongest trainer! And he firmly believes that he can do it.

"I have no doubt about that." Guxin nodded. Green would definitely become one of the top trainers, as for the strongest…

Well, I doubt he can do that.

"Tsk~ As expected, Master Guxin, you and I get along well!"

Upon hearing this, Qinglu's eyes lit up, and he clicked his tongue in satisfaction. He realized that he had grown to like the curator in front of him, though not in the literal sense.

Someone with such strong abilities deserves to be my friend, and their personality is very much to my liking. Although we have different opinions, that's normal.

Guxinbichi, that annoying silent fellow, is so much better! Sure enough, the so-called childhood sweetheart was just an accident.

"But Master Guxin, is it really impossible to continue the battle today? I still have many strong players left!"

Qinglu glanced at the time; it was already 4:30, which was indeed quite late, but Qinglu was still unwilling to give up.

How come that guy Akira was able to defeat two of Gushin's main forces?! I refuse to accept this!

And... I really want Guxin's Blue Green Gym Badge! Guxin himself said that he hasn't sent out his badges for a month and a half, right?

Then it's time for Grandpa Green to make a move!

"I believe you, Mr. Qinglv. How about this, why don't you come back next time fully prepared?" Gu Xin thought for a moment and replied.

"Or are you saying, Mr. Qinglv, that you can defeat me without any preparation? If so, I still think you are underestimating me too much."

"That was something I hadn't considered."

Qinglu frowned upon hearing this. He acknowledged Guxin's strength, after all, he had just suffered a crushing defeat.

Moreover, if they were to take on the challenge, they would naturally have to defeat Gushin, but it would be difficult for the hastily assembled team to defeat Darkrai.

"In that case, I'll go back and carefully consider the tactics and team composition."

Qinglu made a decision. Guxin was the strongest opponent he had ever encountered. He had to bring out his full strength and make sufficient preparations!

"Guxin, you just wait! Next time, I'll definitely defeat you fair and square and take your Rota Badge!"

With his head held high and chest out, he exuded confidence and youthful vigor, looking both handsome and charming.

It must be said that, setting aside Qinglu's overly arrogant temperament, Qinglu is indeed an extremely outstanding person in every aspect.

"I'm looking forward to it." Guxin nodded with a smile.

"Then I'll be off, Mao."

Qinglu shrugged and resumed her usual lazy tone, turning around with a flourish and calling out to Xiaomao in the audience.

"Speaking of which, Master Gu Xin..."

"Is there anything else, Mr. Qinglv?"

Gu Xin looked curiously at Qing Lü, who had turned her head.

"Just call me Green. You're the Gym Leader I acknowledge." Green waved his hand casually.

"What lineup is the gold one on your roulette wheel?" Qinglu asked curiously.

"That's a perk for the challengers, a legendary gold lineup," Gu Xin replied with a light laugh.

"The Golden Legend?" Qinglu was taken aback.

"Yes, if I switch to this, I will use a team of legendary Pokémon, but currently it only supports 2vs2."

"???"

Qinglu was startled.

So you have more than just Darkrai as a legendary Pokémon? And are you sure this is a perk???

Your family uses legendary Pokémon to deal with challengers? Who taught you that?

"Furthermore, anyone who can defeat me using a legendary lineup will not only receive the extremely valuable Legendary Rota Badge, but also a mysterious gift from me."

"Mr. Green, aren't you excited?"

Gu Xin smiled gently and teased Qing Lü.

Upon hearing this, Qinglv's expression turned slightly unnatural. Defeating Darkrai and another unknown legendary Pokémon in a 2v2 battle...

"Ahem...tsk~ This is interesting."

Qinglu coughed twice, waved to Xiaoshige who was walking over, and left the Rota Gym without looking back.

"Haha~ I suddenly find this person quite interesting."

The younger sister couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

Qinglu's expression when she finally couldn't hold back was absolutely hilarious.

"Green is not a bad person to begin with, but he is too arrogant. Once you get his approval, you will find that he is actually quite good. It's just that his personality hasn't been corrected yet. He will restrain himself after he is taught a lesson."

Gu Xin shrugged; this was precisely why he didn't dislike green.

Green is not bad, but he is too arrogant and haughty. No one can defeat him except Crimson. Only by defeating him completely, by making Green reflect on his problems, can he truly reflect on his own shortcomings.

Because Crimson is his rival and childhood friend, and their positions in each other's hearts are completely different from those of outsiders, only Crimson can 'correct' Green's personality.

Outside the Rota Dojo.

After leaving the Rota Gym, Qinglv stopped and looked back at the luxurious and magnificent Rota Gym, falling into deep thought.

"Guxin..."

After a long while, a joyful smile appeared on Qinglu's face. This was so interesting!

"Brother Green".

"What's wrong?"

"Are you still going to challenge the Rota Gym?" Gary asked, puzzled.

"Of course! But we need to prepare properly. Gu Xin is indeed quite strong, so we need to deal with him carefully," Qinglu replied without hesitation.

"Green Bro, Gushin doesn't just have a Dark-type lineup, he also has an even more shameless Poison-type lineup," Little Blue reminded him, after all, he had suffered greatly from it!

"I know."

Qinglv frowned. This was indeed something that had to be considered; the Rota Gym had a random lineup.

"It's fine, I'll bring two different lineups with me, hmph~"

After thinking it over, Qinglu decided to ask her grandfather to lift the carrying restriction so she could bring two sets of characters to the challenge.

"But... Green Bro, what if you pull that legendary gold lineup?"

Xiao Mao asked cautiously.

"..."

Green fell silent.

"It can't be that much of a coincidence," Qinglu said calmly.

"But prevention is better than cure, Brother Green!"

"It can't be that much of a coincidence."

"But what if..."

"You jinx! Shut up right now!"

Green was furious.

"Why can't you say something nice, instead of something positive?"

"There are only so many gold coins on that wheel, how could your brother, with my incredible luck, possibly spin it?"

"Mao! Look at you, you never learn anything good. You can't even challenge a dojo twice. Can't you learn from your brother?"

"I think you've just gone through your rebellious phase! Tonight, I'll have Blastoise give you a good workout. No, Blastoise needs to recover, so let's have Arcanine... let Pidgeot give you a special training session."

"I've always said that Grandpa and my sister are just too lenient with you!"

Seeing his older brother constantly spewing profanities, Xiao Mao shrank back, feeling extremely wronged.

He really wanted to argue, "Dude, you've never even fought a Rota Gym before, and we don't even know if you'll be able to win next time..."

But seeing his older brother in this unusually aggressive state, Xiao Mao decided that his life was more important.
