Pokémon, start your journey from the East Glory Alliance

“Hey~!”

He swept the spear in his hand and directly blocked Gastly's magic flash.

"I told you, it's not that simple!"

Su Yuan smiled slightly.

"I know, that's why I didn't think of defeating you head-on. Gastly uses his Stand!"

"Kou Jie~!"

Gastly activated his Stand, and suddenly two Gastlys, one real and one fake, appeared on the field.

"A little trick, Tough Spear Sugarcane, use Leaf Blade to destroy its double."

“Hey~!”

Tough Spear Sugarcane swung the spear in his hand and swept it horizontally, drawing a beautiful blade light in the air.

This move directly shattered Gastly's stand, but Su Yuan seized the opportunity when it swung its spear.

"As we all know, for any Pokémon that carries weapons, their weapons are their true bodies."

Su Yuan grinned.

"Gars, just use poison!"

"Kou Jie!"

Gastly delivered a poisonous shot directly and generously. Since Sugarcane didn't retract his spear, it was too late for him to use the defense-penetrating skill.

The dark purple venom directly broke through the tough spear sugarcane, and its originally purple-black skin now became even darker.

"Tsk, Tough Spear Sugarcane, use Leaf Blade to attack Gastly directly!"

"Garse, hold on!"

“Bang~!”

Tough Spear Sugarcane swung his spear down directly, but it hit the barrier.

"I don't believe you can keep defending, Tough Spear Sugarcane, seize the opportunity and continue to attack."

Since he was poisoned, he couldn't delay any longer. Huang Jiaojiao directly commanded Tough Spear Sugarcane to launch a quick attack. As long as the frequency of the attack was high enough, he would not be able to hold on forever.

However, Su Yuan didn't care at all.

"Of course I understand the rules of whether to hold or not. But don't forget that Gastly has a Stand. Gastly uses a Stand!"

"Kou Jie~!"

Gastly looked at the poisoned Sugarcane, who was attacking hastily, and smiled a familiar smirk. Then he directly split off a Stand, making the opponent even more anxious.

"Tsk, damn it!"

Although Sugarcane can feint and directly break through the barrier, Gastly is a ghost-type, and the feints of ordinary types are ineffective against Gastly, which makes people feel very uncomfortable.

After being tortured by both the defender and the substitute, Huang Jiaojiao finally raised the Poké Ball in her hand and took back the Tough Spear Sugarcane, which was still struggling to hold on despite the poisonous erosion.

"No more fighting, I give up!"

"Toot~!"

Seeing this, the referee blew the whistle.

"The game is over, the winner is Su Yuan!"

Suddenly, the audience burst into warm applause. The big screen above the arena also showed close-ups of Su Yuan and Gastly. The audience shouted Su Yuan and Gastly's names.

Su Yuan took back Gastly and smiled slightly.

"Thanks for the advice."

Chapter 51: The First Step Forward

Huang Jiaojiao looked at Su Yuan and asked with a serious expression.

"Let me confirm once more, are you really a newly debuted trainer?"

Su Yuan nodded.

"of course."

That is, assuming that all the versions of Pokémon games he has played are not counted.

Finally Huang Jiaojiao sighed.

"Okay, you win. You are the most promising new trainer I have seen in a while. This is the badge of the Osmanthus Gym and the secret skill machine. The secret skill machine contains the Grass-type skill Ultimate Absorption, but it seems that you can't use it for the time being, so take it first."

As she spoke, Huang Jiaojiao took out the gym reward.

Su Yuan was a little excited when he received the badge and the skill machine. Finally, he had taken the first step on the road to becoming a trainer.

"Thank you."

"Don't be polite. This is what you deserve. Your ace Gastly was trained very well. You must have put a lot of thought into it."

"well enough."

Su Yuan responded with a dry laugh.

Speaking is an art. If he tells others that Gastly is not his trump card and that he has never had an trump card at all, then he probably won't be able to leave the Osmanthus Gym today.

"Okay, let's talk next time we have a chance. I have to get back to work."

Su Yuan also nodded, said goodbye and left the player channel. After all, the gym challenge was still going on and there were other challengers waiting to appear.

"Hey man, here!"

As soon as he returned to the battle preparation room, Su Yuan saw Zhuang Yan slumped on the sofa waving at him.

"Brother, you haven't left yet."

"Haha, what are you talking about? How can I leave when I promised to cheer you up?"

Zhuang Yan squinted his eyes and said with a smile.

"Dude, you're awesome. A Gastly was killed by the gym leader, and he was guarding the poison, and there was also Magic Flash. I haven't seen an interesting way of playing for a long time. How did you manage to be both stable and innovative?"

There have been Gastlys who have taken on the role of guarding poison before, but this is the first time he has seen a Gastly who has learned both the magic of guarding poison and the magic of shining.

"Hey, it's not as mysterious as you say. The school just gave us a skill machine as a reward, and Gastly happened to be able to learn it, so we gave it to him. It's just a coincidence."

"Well, that's fine. Just be modest."

Zhuang Yan praised generously.

"Your Magic Flash not only makes up for the lack of damage of the Poison Guard, but also can catch the ghost-type Gastly off guard and attack the evil-type Pokémon that it can't handle. I don't believe you if you say you haven't studied it carefully."

Seeing that Zhuang Yan didn't believe it, Su Yuan couldn't explain it, but the key point was that it was really a coincidence that Gastly learned the magic shine.

While the two were chatting, Zhuang Yan's stomach made a rumbling sound at an inopportune time.

Zhuang Yan grinned.

"Sorry, buddy. I really didn't have enough food this afternoon. Sorry for making fun of me."

"Nothing, let's go have a meal together. Although I don't live in the city, I am a local, so let me show my hospitality."

Su Yuan then called his father and told him he could come out.

"Xiao Yuan! Hahaha, your fight just now was really brilliant. I knew you could do it."

As soon as he walked out of the gymnasium, Su's father came to greet him cheerfully.

"It's OK. I played normally. It was mainly because I watched how the previous players played, so I was prepared."

"Who is this?"

Father Su noticed Zhuang Yan who came out with Su Yuan.

"This is Zhuang Yan."

Su Yuan introduced.

"A friend I met in the contestant's preparation room."

"Hello, uncle."

"Zhuang Yan, I remember now, you are the trainer of Charizard, hello."

As soon as the name was mentioned, Father Su immediately remembered it. When they thought of Zhuang Yan's performance in the gym challenge, the two immediately started chatting.

"Where are you from?"

"I'm from Dongshan."

"I am from Dongshan. Dongshan is great. I went to Dongshan to make a living when I was young."

"Really? Uncle was also a trainer who traveled around a lot back then?"

"Hey, there, I went out to make a living, Dongshan at that time..."

Dongshan people are straightforward, and Su's father is also an optimistic and generous person, so the two of them got along very well.

Even if Su Yuan decided to let the two of them continue, they would probably become sworn brothers. Having a gym challenge would make him have an uncle. How ridiculous is that.

"Well, let's find a place to eat first and talk while we eat."

"Okay, let's go eat first. I know a specialty restaurant. Let Zhuang Yan taste our Lingnan specialty dishes."

"Really? Then I'll have to try it."

Led by Su's father, the three of them went into a specialty restaurant.

While waiting for the food, Su Yuan took the initiative to talk to them in order to avoid the two of them becoming sworn brothers.

"Brother Zhuang Yan, I want to see what Pokémon you used at the end of the gym match. I haven't seen it very often."

Zhuang Yan explained.

"You're talking about Abao. Abao's real name is the Snow Leopard with Tailed Tail. It's a Pokémon that lives in Tibet. Not to mention Lingnan, you won't even see it in Dongshan."

"Pokémon from Tibet? But aren't you from Dongshan, Brother Zhuang Yan?"

"Yes, I am indeed from Dongshan, but my acquaintance with Abao happened when I was a child."

Seeing that Su Yuan was interested, Zhuang Yan told him about his encounter with the snow leopard.

In short, his father was a native of Dongshan, but he participated in the work of supporting Tibet with great enthusiasm, met his mother there, and finally had him.

He grew up in Tibet. While grazing, he met the baby Pokémon, the Byeloser. At that time, he had no idea of ​​being a trainer, but he became friends with the Byeloser.

When he was six years old, his father finished his work in Tibet and took him and his mother back to Dongshan Province. He thought he would never see the snow leopard again, until one day when they returned to Tibet, Zhuang Yan saw the familiar figure again in the pastoral area.

In the end, in order to not be separated from the Ouroboros, he asked his father to tame the Ouroboros. It was not until Zhuang Yan became a trainer himself that the Ouroboros was officially handed over to him.

“It’s so touching.”

Father Su poured himself a glass of wine at some point and sighed as he drank.

"This is the bond between humans and Pokémon. Even if they are separated, they will eventually meet again. It's great."

Zhuang Yan smiled and waved his hand.

"Nothing much, I can only say that this is the fate between me and Abao, and that's all that should happen."

"Brother Zhuang Yan, there is one thing I am actually quite curious about."

"what's up?"

"What is the attribute of the Snow Leopard with its tail in its mouth? Is it ice plus evil?"

Su Yuan asked his doubts. When he was in the gym, he saw the Snow Leopard with the Tail in its Mouth hit by several bullets from the Tough Spear Sugarcane. If it was a combination of the two, it would have fallen down long ago.

Zhuang Yan shook his head.

"No, why do you think Abao has the ice attribute plus the evil attribute? Abao has the ice attribute and the fairy attribute."

Su Yuan was stunned. Oh my goodness, ice plus fairy, what kind of combination is this, Alola Ninetales? With this attribute, I'm afraid that Kodara will be killed by a headbutt.
