Pokémon, pure love Shura field

236.Xiaogang’s family affairs

Wu Dou could vaguely feel the terrifying aura coming from behind him. He glanced at Xiaoxia secretly through the reflection of the mobile phone screen, and then silently lowered his head to eat breakfast.

Facing an angry girl, he really didn't have much to do.

Wu Dou could only pray silently, hoping that she would feel better after a while.

But in fact, expectations seem to be moving in the opposite direction.

Just when the fighting was at a loss and he was hesitating whether to detonate the bomb...

Rotom's cell phone rang at this time, and Wu Dou hurriedly answered the call.

"I've arrived in Nibi City. Where are you, boss?"

Wu Dou suddenly became energetic.

"Let's meet in front of Nibi Gym. I'll be there right away."

"Is that Meow Meow who can only speak human language..." From the beginning to the present, the martial arts fight has not said a word. Xiaoxia can't help but grit her teeth and take the initiative to speak.

"Well, I'm going to challenge the gym next, and then I'll go to Yuhong City with Miaomiao. Xiaoxia, please hurry up and pack your belongings. We'll set off right away!"

Wu Dou ate his breakfast in two bites, got up quickly and ran to the accommodation area.

Watching Wu Dou leave, the drink cup in Xiaoxia's hand was suddenly crushed into a ball.

Xiaozhi estimated that he would not wake up until noon, so he would not disturb him. Wudou tidied his room, sent a message to Xiaozhi, and then returned to the hall.

After a while, Xiaoxia, who had packed her backpack, also came over, walked past him with a cold expression, and walked out the door.

Wu Dou did not dare to offend Xiaoxia, so he could only pretend to be nonchalant and follow him silently.

He was supposed to be the one to challenge the gym, but it turned out that Xiaoxia was leading the way. The two of them arrived at Nibi Gym before Xiaoxia stopped.

During this process, neither of them said a word, and the atmosphere was terrifyingly depressing.

"You're here, boss." A deep voice came from the alley, and Wu Dou hurried to the entrance of the alley.

Wearing a beret and a brown coat, Meow Meow, who looked like a detective, was leaning on the wall. He had something like a cigar in the corner of his mouth. He walked out of the alley with his hands in his pockets, crossed the sword and stopped behind him, and slowly picked it up. Put on your sunglasses.

The bleak wind picked up old newspapers in the alley, flipped and rubbed on the ground, and floated far away.

"You are so cool, you are making it difficult for me..." Wu Dou reached out and pinched the back of Miaomiao's neck and lifted it up.

"Stop it, Meow!" Meow's deep voice was instantly shattered.

The appearance of Miao Miao made the originally oppressive atmosphere seem to relax for a moment, and the aura exuded by Xiaoxia was no longer so fierce, which made Wu Dou relax slightly.

Meow Meow is a life saver.

After secretly rubbing Miao Miao's head, Wu Dou put Miao Miao down as if nothing had happened.

Next it’s time to challenge the Gym.

Wu Dou stepped forward and knocked on the door of Nibi Gym. It was not until a moment later that a small figure opened the door and poked his head out from behind the door.

It was Xiaogang's younger brother who opened the door.

"Hello, I'm here to challenge the gym."

"Brother! Someone comes to challenge the gym again!" Hearing this, he immediately turned around and ran away.

Afterwards, Xiaogang, who was carrying two children on his back and holding another child in his arms, immediately came over. When he saw Wudou and Xiaoxia outside the door, he regarded them both as challengers, and his expression became more complicated. A bit embarrassing.

Xiaogang actually doesn't like Pokémon battles. There are many reasons for this, too many to count.

For example, if he doesn't have time, he has to take care of his brothers.

For example, if he doesn’t have the energy, there will be a lot of trouble waiting for him during the battle. If the Pokémon is injured, he needs to take care of it, and if the venue is worn out, he needs to repair it...

Also, he prefers taking care of and raising Pokémon to Pokémon battles, and his dream is to become the world's number one Pokémon breeder.

He treats his Pokémon as an important relative and doesn't want to see his Pokémon get hurt in battle. He loves his Pokémon.

But even so, he is still a gym trainer.

In order to make a living for the family and to take care of his eight younger brothers and sisters, he chose to inherit this gym and family abandoned by his parents and take on all responsibilities.

In the current Kanto region, the requirements for becoming a gym trainer are not very high. As long as a trainer with some strength can be certified by the alliance and establish his own gym, there are countless trainers in the entire Kanto region. Qing's gym exists.

Among these countless gyms, there are only a few that are truly powerful and famous.

Gym leader is a relatively common profession in the current Kanto region, and many trainers will eventually embark on this path.

Fortunately, he was able to easily take over the responsibilities of the gym leader and receive a subsidy from the alliance.

Gym trainers cannot refuse challenges from challengers. This is the rule of the alliance. They must guide new trainers to grow better. When the new trainers collect eight gym badges, they can participate in the current alliance competition. Compete for the title of tournament champion.

If you can achieve relatively good results, you will be able to stand out. Whether you are accepting advertisements or performing, you can make money, and supporting yourself will not be a problem.

Therefore, after reaching adulthood at the age of ten, many people will choose to become Pokémon trainers and embark on the road of travel, either because they are forced to do so or because they like it.

Although he has such an important responsibility, Xiaogang's pride as the owner of the museum has long been suppressed by life and he cannot lift his head up.

For him now, every battle is a heavy burden.

Battles represent damage to the gym grounds, and Pokémon will also be injured. Even with the alliance's privilege subsidies, free treatment, and dedicated personnel to repair the grounds, he himself has to spend a lot of time and energy.

Just raising Pokémon and taking care of his eight younger brothers and sisters made Xiaogang feel very tired. Even if it just took away a little time and energy, his condition would get worse and worse.

Every battle continues to wear away the enthusiasm that Xiaogang once had. Until now, he has completely lost interest in Pokémon battles.

The reason why he is still fighting is that there is a rope pulling him and he has to fight.

"Sorry, if you want to challenge the gym, please wait a moment. You can come in first." Xiaogang quickly adjusted his mentality, with a slightly indifferent expression on his face, and spoke nonchalantly.

He did not deliberately snub the challengers, but in order to maintain the momentum and majesty of the gym leader, he had to put on this face, otherwise he would be regarded as a gym that is easy to bully, and challengers might come in an endless stream.

If he had the energy, he would also like to smile, discuss happily with this group of traveling trainers, and imagine the journey.

Xiaogang has scolded his irresponsible parents countless times in his heart, and he is completely disappointed now.

If he wanted to blame, Xiaogang didn't want to blame them. He only blamed himself for not having the ability to support the family and give his younger brothers and sisters a better life.

At this moment, Xiaoxia was stunned by the scene in front of her.

There were five children standing in the courtyard of the gym, plus the three on Xiaogang, a total of eight children. Could it be that he took care of them all by himself?

Is he the father of these children?

No, it doesn’t look like him at all, he’s too young, at most he’s older than Wudou, or even about the same age!

Even if you were an adult at the age of ten and could get married, you wouldn't have so many children!

Wu Dou keenly caught the momentary embarrassment in Xiaogang's eyes, and he was thoughtful in his heart.

He knows Xiaogang's family background very well and has appeared in many more scenes than Xiaoxia. Wudou can fully understand the difficulty of Xiaogang's situation.

The original idea of ​​challenging the gym has now disappeared.

Just treat him as a guest, challenging the gym is secondary, getting to know him and becoming friends is the main goal.

"Excuse me then, my name is Wu Dou."

"My name is Xiaoxia."

"You can call me Xiaogang. These are my younger brothers and sisters. You can just sit down and I'll be right over."

Xiaogang immediately held the youngest child in his arms and walked into the room on the other side.

"Brother, how many badges have you obtained already?"

The child who opened the door before looked at Wudou and his group curiously, and spoke cautiously, as if he wanted to find out some information for Xiaogang.

He seems to be the oldest one besides Xiaogang, and he should be Jiro of Xiaogang's family.

"Actually, I'm just here for sightseeing. I stopped by to see the gym. As for the badges, I don't even have one."

Wu Dou's words made Jiro immediately relax, and his expression became visibly relaxed.

Xiaoxia on the side raised her eyebrows slightly, glanced at Wudou and then looked away.

Meow Meow pretended to be an ordinary Meow Meow and said nothing from the beginning.

"I'm a little hungry..." Under Xiaoxia's confused eyes, Wu Dou stood up suddenly and walked out the door.

"Xiaoxia, Miaomiao, do you want something to eat? I'll buy it."

"Ice cream...two sticks." Xiaoxia tilted her head slightly and spoke softly.

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but after Xiaoxia spoke to her, all the previous pressure dissipated, and Xiaoxia seemed not to be angry anymore.

"I want canned meat and hamburgers, meow!" Meow's stomach rumbled with hunger. He thought this business trip didn't include food.

"Wow! Meow can actually talk!" Several children immediately gathered around.

"Don't pull my tail, meow!"

Wu Dou immediately went out, searched around the street, bought full-flavor canned meat, burgers and ice cream, and then returned to the gym.

Pokémon food is relatively expensive, but food that fills the stomach is much cheaper. Food for a dozen people costs a little more than a thousand yuan in total.

"I don't know what flavor you want to eat, so I bought some more. You can choose for yourself."

As soon as he entered the door, everyone's eyes in the courtyard were focused on him.

Xiaoxia grabbed two ice creams in each hand and sat silently on the side. Meow Meow was choosing from the canned meat. He just took a bite and showed a happy expression about to ascend to heaven.

"I want to leave some nya for Musashi and Kojiro!"

Several children around him were sucking their fingers and staring at the burgers.

"Let's all eat together, I can't finish it by myself."

The children immediately ran over cheering.

As if he heard the noise outside, Xiaogang ran out of the room in confusion, holding his youngest brother in his arms. When he saw his other brothers and sisters 'grabbing' the guests' food, he suddenly showed a serious expression.

"You...all stop it!"

"Brother, the big brother bought these and gave them to us." Jiro immediately ran to Xiaogang and spoke hurriedly.

"What's wrong? Are there any taboos? If you don't finish it, it will be wasted." Wu Dou's mouth was full and he looked at Xiaogang with a blank expression.

Xiaogang breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, looked at his younger brothers and sisters who were looking at him cautiously, showed a helpless smile, and then looked at Wudou.

"It costs you money, and I'll be ready soon..."

At this time, Wu Dou also took the initiative to chat with Xiaogang.

"Xiao Gang! Xiao Gang, come out quickly! I am yesterday's challenger Xiao Zhi! I'm here to challenge again!" At this moment, Xiao Zhi's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

This guy didn't go to bed until after five o'clock, and just a few hours later he came to the gym to challenge him in full swing. Wu Dou suspected that Xiaozhi also had natural recovery and regeneration properties.

Three people came to challenge at the same time in one day, and Xiaogang's expression suddenly changed.

Many gym owners must be afraid of trainers who are constantly challenging...

"We know Xiaozhi outside the door. We actually came to see him challenge. We didn't expect him to come so slowly."

After hearing Wu Dou's words, Xiaogang was slightly startled and then breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that this trainer named Wu Dou saw his difficulty, so he said this.

Although he could deal with the challenger casually, Xiaogang's self-esteem did not allow him to do such an insult to the Pokémon battle.

Even though he doesn't enjoy Pokémon battles as much as he did before.

The door was pushed open again, and as soon as Xiaozhi ran into the yard, he saw Wu Dou and Xiaoxia sitting on the ground, and was startled.

"So when you came here, I thought you had left..."

"It's not too late to leave after I finish watching your battle..." Wudou silently looked away, refusing to meet his gaze.

Xiaozhi's eyes suddenly lit up at this moment, and his whole body became excited.

"Okay! Let me show you the true strength of me and Pikachu!"

-

On the rocky ground of Nibi Gym, Xiaozhi and Xiaogang stood on each side.

"How about we have a 1V1 singles match today and decide the outcome in one match?"

"Okay! I will definitely win!"

"Brother, come on! Brother is the best!"
