Pokémon: Start with a Mewtwo Invitation.

Chapter 111 Only through beatings can one grow.

After being scolded by Aya, Axing looked aggrieved.

Young, naive, and eager to become stronger.

Therefore, Ah Xing never considered this kind of thing. Little did she know that her actions would affect the development of Qianhong City.

"Yes, I'm sorry, Auntie. I just didn't want Dad to waste his time on those weak trainers. You know, Dad often has a headache dealing with novice trainers," Ah Xing said.

"You can't always be so reckless. You're all grown up now, and you can't be like before. Otherwise, how will you inherit the Crimson Dojo and become the Dojo Master? Your test is coming soon," Aya said.

Actually, what Aya said is a bit too serious. The reason why many trainers don't come to the Fuchsia Trip to challenge the Fuchsia Gym is also related to the fact that Aya's strength is too great.

Even if A-Ju showed mercy, could his strength be the same as that of an ordinary gym leader?

After all, most trainers are only of average strength. If they were to go up and fight against A-Ju, who has the experience of an Elite Four member, wouldn't that be courting death?

To put it bluntly, A-Ge is also selective in his treatment of people. Just like in the original story, A-Ge went easy on Ash, otherwise how could Ash have obtained the pink badge of the Fuchsia Gym?

When I was a child watching the cartoon, I thought that although Ash relied on luck, he still won the gym badge with some real skills. Later, I gradually realized that this was very absurd.

"I understand, Aunt Aya." A-Xing sighed deeply.

She then turned to Xia Mu and Sonia and apologized, "I'm so sorry, I was rash just now and shouldn't have attacked you directly."

"It's alright, after all, we're not injured," Sonia said first, clearly not wanting to stoop to the level of a child.

Xia Mu glanced at Sonia, then at A-Xing: "So, can you take me to see your father, Gym Leader A-Ju?"

Without beating around the bush or pursuing the matter further, there was indeed no need to get too entangled with her, otherwise it would become very troublesome.

Ah Xing and Ah Ya were clearly surprised by Xia Mu's directness, and Ah Ya could also sense Ah Xing's emotional change.

As the child's aunt, after so many years of getting along, how could she not know what kind of personality Ah Xing had?

"Actually, if you want to get the Pink Badge, defeating A-Xing is the same. When the Gym Leader isn't around, she's the one who faces the challengers. She will also be the future Crimson Gym Leader." It seemed that Aya suddenly reminded Natsuki for A-Xing's sake.

Hearing this, Xia Mu was slightly taken aback.

It seems that Aya wants him to have a Pokémon battle with A-Xing.

They used him as a testing ground.

"Although I'm not the Fuchsia Gym Leader yet, if you can defeat me, I can give you the Pink Badge." With Aya's help, A-Xing put her hands on her hips and resumed her previous arrogant posture.

"But my purpose in coming to Fuchsia Gym is not just to get the Pink Badge. My main purpose is to battle Gym Leader Akihime. After all, he is the future Poison-type Elite Four member," Natsuki said.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Sonia, who was standing next to Xia Mu, reached out and tugged at Xia Mu's hand.

Obviously, this was too blunt and hurtful.

Aya was shocked to hear this.

For Xia Mu to say something like that, he must be quite capable and have a thorough understanding of many things.

Nowadays, apart from Ah Ju and Ah Xing, not many people know that Ah Ju is about to be promoted.

Unless it's someone within the alliance, or...

Before Aya could speak, Ah Xing's eyes sharpened after hearing Xia Mu's words: "The more you say that, the more I want to know how strong you are? Don't try to challenge my father if you can't even defeat me."

These words were clearly spoken in an overly emotional manner.

Xia Mu realized that if he didn't defeat this little girl, he probably wouldn't be able to fight Aju.

"Alright, then I'll defeat you, the future Crimson Gym Leader, first, and then fight your father." Xia Mu didn't back down because of Sonia's reminder; instead, he became even more aggressive.

If you go along with this kind of girl, you'll be completely led by her.

So either be more assertive, or simply ignore her existence.

……

Having decided to engage in a battle, Xia Mu and A Xing distanced themselves from each other, while A Ya acted as the referee.

Before the battle began, Natsuki heard Mewtwo's voice and then used his Aura to scan and sense it.

Just as he expected, Ah Ju had indeed been hiding in the shadows all along.

He knew that Xia Mu was there to challenge him, but he still did not take the initiative to ease the situation. Instead, he chose to let his daughter fight Xia Mu first.

As a father, Xia Mu could guess that A-Ju was trying to use the challenger to hone his daughter's skills.

After all, once he becomes a star, he will be away from the Crimson Dojo for a long time. Before he leaves, he must hope that his daughter can be more mature and independent.

"Since you've been secretly watching, I'll teach your daughter a lesson. Don't blame me for being ruthless." A slight smirk played on Xia Mu's lips, and his eyes changed.

"The battle format is three to three. If one side loses all their members' ability to fight, they are defeated..." With Aya's explanation, the battle officially began.

"Go, Ariados!" The Poké Ball slipped from A-Xing's hand.

With a flash of white light, a gigantic Ariados appeared on the battlefield.

【Ariados】

【LV: 35】

[Gender: Female]

[Attributes: Insect, Poison]

Personality: Cheerful

【Characteristic: Insomnia (Because it has a constitution that prevents it from sleeping, it cannot enter a sleep state.)】

[Skills: Sword Dance, Poison Needle, Absorb, Silk Spit, Energy Gathering, Insect Bite, Deadly Needle Strike, Entanglement, Terrifying Face, Night Demon Shadow, Shadow Ambush, Wild Scratches, Surprise Attack, High-Speed ​​Movement, Needle Missiles...]

[Friendliness: 10]

[Mood: So-so (Another battle is about to begin.)]

……

Ariados, at level 35, is only considered average in terms of strength, but that does reflect the level of a gym leader.

However, judging from the list of skills this Ariados has learned, its talent and potential are quite good.

With a scrutinizing gaze and a hint of playful mockery, Ah Xing's expression grew even colder.

"Come on, send out your Pokémon."

"Hmm." Xia Mu nodded slightly and casually took a high-grade ball from his waist.

"Go, Charizard!" With that command, the Ultra Ball exploded in mid-air, and Charizard's figure burst out from it. Then the Ultra Ball returned to Natsuki's hand.

Xia Mu felt he was bullying Ah Xing by using Charizard to fight her Ariados.

Charizard was initially in high spirits because he thought he would be fighting a powerful opponent after coming out, but it turned out that his opponent was a little girl who hadn't even grown all her fur yet, and that his opponent was just an average-strength insect.

"Awooo~!!"

With a roar, Charizard unleashed its power.

I'm annoyed.

There was no other way; Xia Mu had to let it fight, so it had to obey.

Feeling the power emanating from Charizard, Aya was slightly shocked. Aju, who was hiding in the shadows, was also stunned. She did not expect that this seemingly ordinary person would have such a powerful Charizard.

[Ah Xing has really bitten off more than she can chew this time. It seems like she's destined to lose this match.] Aya thought to herself.

At this moment, Ah Xing's expression was solemn. She had never expected that Xia Mu would send out such a powerful Charizard at the start.

Not only is there a level difference, but in terms of attributes, Ariados also doesn't have the slightest advantage, being completely countered by Charizard.

The atmosphere was extremely heavy, and Xia Mu didn't care what A Xing was thinking.

In fact, Ariadne was already intimidated at this point and was somewhat afraid to step forward.

The difference is too big; this is level 22!

"You were the one who requested the battle, so you'd better have the courage to face it and see if I really have the strength to challenge your father." With that, Xia Mu smiled and gave the Charizard the command: "Flamethrower!!!"

At a command, Charizard raised its head and roared.

Immediately afterwards, a dense jet of flame erupted from its mouth, extremely hot and incredibly powerful.

Such a blow was terrifying for Ariados, who was only level 35.

In just one glance, their psychological defenses crumbled, and they had already surrendered in their hearts.

Ah Xing quickly shouted, "Get out of the way, Ariados!"

However, her commands were completely ineffective in getting Ariados, who had lost all will to resist, to move.

The flamethrower struck Ariados squarely, and with a piercing scream, he was sent flying, his body burned and rendered unable to fight.

Seeing this, Ah Xing gasped. Ah Ya, who was acting as the referee, immediately announced the result: "Ariados is unable to fight. Charizard wins."

Sold out instantly!

Such a blow was too severe for Ah Xing.

As a young lady from a wealthy family, Ah Xing may never have experienced the feeling of helplessness of being utterly defeated by someone else.

Now Xia Mu made her feel it.

The scene fell silent, becoming utterly still.

Xia Mu didn't speak, and Charizard didn't become arrogant or complacent after defeating Ariadne, since Ariadne's strength was only average.

"Xia Mu, aren't you being a bit too..." Sonia, who was standing next to Xia Mu, spoke up tactfully.

Before she could finish speaking, Xia Mu used his wave-guiding power to transmit a message.

It means telling her that Ah Xing needs to experience such a crushing defeat now, otherwise she will be ruined by blind self-confidence and arrogance.

In addition, Xia Mu also told her that A-Xing's father, A-Ju, was currently hiding in the shadows, observing the situation here.

The meaning is quite clear: he's using Ah Xing to show her how big the world is.

……

"What? You're already scared after just the first match? Is this where your confidence comes from?" After waiting for a long time, Xia Mu finally spoke to A Xing.

These words immediately ignited Ah Xing's anger, making her furious.

"Damn it, I only beat Ariados, stop being so arrogant. The battle has only just begun." Ah Xing quickly threw out a Poké Ball to recall Ariados, which was unable to battle.

Then, she took out another Poké Ball: "Go, Weezing!!"

With a dazzling white light, the dual-explosive gas appeared on the battlefield.

Double-shot gas

【LV: 38】

[Gender: Female]

[Attribute: Poison]

[Character: Bold]

[Ability: Levitate (Levitates from the ground, thus becoming immune to Ground-type moves.)]

[Skills: Double Strike, Impact, Smoke Screen, Mist, Poison Gas, Hot Wind, Cleansing Smoke, Malicious Pursuit, Sludge Attack, Black Mist, Jade Shattering, Sludge Bomb, Deadly Poison...]

[Friendliness: 10]

[Emotion: Tense (This Charizard... is so strong, Ariados was defeated in one hit.)]

……

Compared to Ariados, Double Gas is 3 levels higher, but unfortunately it still hasn't broken through to level 40 or above.

Level 30 and level 40 are completely different levels.

This level of strength is considered to be the average strength level of a gym leader in the Kanto region.

Sabrina's strength is already incredibly high. If there weren't any rising stars to support the dojo, she could have gone even further.

Therefore, once a senior gym leader like A-Ju reaches the required level of skill, he will have a chance to be promoted to Elite Four member as long as the gym has a successor.

"Come back, Charizard." After putting the still somewhat dissatisfied Charizard back into its Ultra Ball, Xia Mu took out Gardevoir's Ultra Ball.

Although not as strong as Charizard, Gardevoir has reached level 53 in the past two days.

The level advantage alone is enough to crush Weezing, and Psychic-types are also absolutely effective against Poison-types.

"What is this Pokémon?" Upon seeing a Pokémon they had never seen before, both Ah-Xing and Ah-Ya were shocked.

They clearly hadn't traveled to other regions, so they didn't know about Gardevoir in the Hoenn region.

Just as Xia Mu was about to begin his explanation, the figure hidden in the shadows finally emerged.

As he came out, he said, "This is a Pokémon found only in the Hoenn region, called Gardevoir, and it's a very rare Psychic-type Pokémon."

Ah Ju finally couldn't stand it anymore, and her appearance at this moment was the most opportune.

If Natsuki were to send out Pokémon from the Kanto and Johto regions, he would have his daughter finish the three-on-three battle.

However, now that Pokémon from other regions have appeared, he has a general idea of ​​how strong Natsuki is.

Without a doubt, this is Gardevoir's strength, no less than that of the previous Charizard.

Let alone her own daughter, even if she were facing him herself, she shouldn't be underestimated.

"Father."

"elder brother."

Ah Xing and Ah Ya both shrank their necks.

Looking at her daughter and younger sister, A-Ju didn't say anything, but casually said, "Let's stop the fight, A-Xing. After this battle, I believe you will mature a lot. Only by experiencing beatings can you grow."

After saying that, he focused his gaze on Xia Mu and Sonia.

"I'm very sorry, my daughter made the decision on her own. Please forgive her." Xia Mu had enough power, so Aju wasn't as cold and serious as she appeared in the original work.
