Pokémon: Starting with Lucario and Gardevoir

"It's less of a challenge and more like bullying noobs."

As the gym leader, Aysa often has some new trainers from the neighborhood.

Having just obtained their starter Pokémon, they arrogantly attempt to challenge the gym.

Many of them have Grass-type Pokémon as their starting Pokémon.

Or use low-level Pokémon like Oddish to challenge them.

She naturally defeated him in one move.

Seeing their dejected expressions as they left, she finally understood what it meant.

It was as if in this duel, she was the rookie trainer, and Haoyan was the gym leader.

... ...

Chapter 88 The badges are the same, yet different.

When Yasha challenged Haoyan, she did so with a learning mindset.

From the very beginning, I never considered winning or losing!

She only wanted to learn some combat experience from Haoyan.

Forcefully pull back your defeated spirits.

Because the battle is still ongoing.

"Come out, Coal Tortoise!"

In the third round, Haoyan's Gardevoir had little hope of hitting him.

After all, Coal Turtle is slower than Camel Flamethrower.

... ...

Automatically, the coal turtle's data appeared in Haoyan's mind.

Pokémon: Torkoal

[Attribute]: Fire

[Level]: 35

[Ability]: White Smoke (This Pokémon is protected and will not be affected by any means by its opponent that could lower its stats.)

[Introduction]: Coal Turtles love to eat coal. They will keep digging for coal on the mountain and then put the collected coal into their shells. When attacked, they will spew out black smoke to escape.

... ...

Haoyan didn't change his Pokémon this time either, keeping Gardevoir with him.

Battle against Coalossal is not difficult.

It has a huge speed advantage and can use teleportation to dodge in critical moments.

The coal turtle was dealt with without much effort.

... ...

"Thank you, Haoyan. Through our battle, I quickly identified my weaknesses." Asha bowed sincerely to Haoyan at a ninety-degree angle.

This battle made her realize clearly where she needed to improve.

It is also clear that Pokémon battles are not simply a back-and-forth exchange.

Instead, it emphasizes tactics and strategies.

In particular, Haoyan's Lucario perfectly illustrates the importance of tactics in battle.

"You're too kind. I learned all of this from the old man."

"If it weren't for the old man's careful guidance back then, I would never have achieved what I have today," Haoyan said modestly.

"You little rascal, you really know how to flatter me."

Mura grew increasingly fond of Haoyan, her student.

Don't be arrogant after victory!

There was no pride in the victory.

He always has a calm and composed demeanor.

"If things continue to develop at this pace, Haoyan's future is limitless!"

"Even in the future, I could become a champion."

"Maybe he can even surpass the champion!" Mura was increasingly looking forward to what kind of surprise Haoyan would bring him next time.

As Safia watched Haoyan win with ease, her admiration for him grew even stronger.

-------------------------------------

Perhaps it was because he lost to Haoyan, and the loss was too frustrating.

Or perhaps, they want to learn the skills from Haoyan and find an opponent to test them out.

Or perhaps it stems from some characteristic that women are 'good at'...

Asha took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Sapphire, asking if Sapphire wanted to challenge the gym.

Safia nodded and then began to fight against Asha.

Of course, Aysa used only low-level, unevolved Pokémon.

To be fair, Safia is quite familiar with her Pokémon.

Tactically, there were no brilliant moments, but the command and control of the battle were reasonable.

He can be considered a qualified trainer.

"Dongard, use Earthquake!"

The dunjia stomped the ground, creating cracks.

In the end, Safia's Donburi defeated Asha's Lava Worms and won the victory.

"Safia challenges the gym and wins!" the referee announced the result.

The battle has come to an end.

... ...

"Congratulations, Safia, you have obtained the Cauldron Flame Badge."

Haoyan and Mula walked down from the audience seats.

"Thank you, Brother Haoyan." Safia smiled, revealing two cute little tiger teeth.

"On behalf of the Furnace Gym, I hereby award you a Furnace Badge."

Asha handed the badge with the fire pattern to Safia.

"Thank you, Sister Asha!" Safia accepted the badge with both hands, carefully opened the box containing the badge, and treasured it.

"I finally succeeded in the challenge, shouldn't I get a badge?"

Aysa was slightly taken aback and didn't react.

It was clearly Aya who took the initiative to challenge Haoyan, but how come Haoyan said it was him challenging Aya?

Mura was a sensible person and understood immediately, saying, "That's right, Haoyan successfully challenged the gym, you should give him a badge!"

Yasha immediately realized what Haoyan meant.

To put it bluntly, Aysa lost pretty badly just now, and Haoyan was just trying to help her save face a little.

Asha has just taken office and still needs support.

So, they changed the wording, saying that Haoyan challenged her.

Aysa rolled her eyes at Haoyan, then took out another badge and handed it to him.

Hao Yan smiled and accepted it. Like Safia, he also had a special box for badges, and he put the badge that Asha had given him into it.

Safia stood to the side, looking at the Fuyan Badge in Haoyan's box and comparing it with her own.

The two badges look exactly the same.

However, the difference in gold content is significant.

Her medal was awarded by the museum owner in recognition of the challenger's potential.

Haoyan obtained this one by defeating the master without holding back.

... ...

Chapter 89 Evolves into a Gray-Black Charizard

In the training grounds of the Fumafudo Dojo.

"Roar! Roar!"

Charizard bared its sharp teeth and roared at its opponent.

Charmeleon's opponent is Mura's Typhlosion.

The Fire Beast was unfazed by Charizard's roar, its expression full of arrogance.

Upon seeing this, Charizard took a deep breath, and a burst of scorching flame shot out.

When Charmeleon made its move, the flames on its back suddenly burst into flames.

In an instant, flames enveloped him, and he charged straight toward the Charizard.

This is Typhlosion's signature move, Flame Wheel.

With a bang, Charmeleon was sent flying.

The flames that Charmeleon just spewed out had no effect on Typhlosion.

"Roar! Roar!" Charizard fell to the ground, then stood up again.
