Elf: My three starters are the three gods of Hoenn

However, Xiao Gang has one flaw: he always likes to harass pretty older women!

Miss Joey's attitude towards Zhang Feng was quite good, and she helped a lot, so let's help Miss Joey out of this predicament, so that Xiao Gang doesn't take advantage of her!

“Friend, your actions have violated the laws of the Hoenn League. If Miss Joy reports you, it seems you could be sentenced to seven days of detention. Should I call Officer Jenny?”

Upon hearing Zhang Feng's words, Xiao Gang instantly sobered up. Looking at Zhang Feng, who was half a head taller than him, he narrowed his eyes with a hint of dissatisfaction!

However, there is indeed such a clause in the Hoenn League law, so Brock immediately recovered!

Miss Joey, however, smiled slightly after Zhang Feng helped her out of the predicament!

Seeing that Xiaogang seemed to have a conflict with Zhang Feng, Xiaozhi, Xiaoyao, and Xiaosheng also rushed over!

At this moment, listening to the discussions of the crowd, Ash realized that the commotion at the Pokémon Center was because the man in front of him, a novice trainer, had defeated Senri, the Gym Leader of Petalburg City, and obtained the Libra Badge!

Upon hearing this, Xiao Sheng, as Qian Li's son, who had always admired his father, immediately exclaimed that it was impossible when he heard that someone had defeated Qian Li!

Because, in Xiao Sheng's eyes, his father would never lose!

On the contrary, Ash, upon hearing that Zhang Feng seemed to be a powerful trainer, immediately expressed his desire to battle Zhang Feng and have a contest!

As for Xiaoyao, looking at Zhang Feng's handsome appearance and after defeating her father and obtaining the badge, for some reason, her face turned slightly red!

No, you're blushing like a bubble teapot?

"You're the one who beat the Petalburg Gym? I don't believe it!"

"Since you defeated the Petalburg Gym, you must be a very strong trainer. Pikachu and I are ready to challenge you and battle me!"

Hearing Xiaosheng and Xiaozhi's words, Zhang Feng's lips twitched slightly. Although he already knew the personalities of these people, seeing them in person still felt a bit off!

"Ahem, I don't want to battle right now. I just finished the gym battle, and my Pokémon need to rest. If we really want to battle, let's meet again at the Celadon Conference!"

Just as Zhang Feng was about to leave, Xiao Sheng suddenly stopped him!

"Since you say you defeated the Petalburg Gym and have the strength, why don't you dare accept Ash's challenge? Did you really obtain the Petalburg Gym Badge through shady means?"

Although he understood Xiao Sheng's love for his father, Zhang Feng still felt displeased after hearing these words!

"If it weren't for Mr. Qianli's sake, I would have given you a good lesson for what you just said!"

Seeing Zhang Feng's face suddenly darken, Xiao Sheng panicked, as if his identity had been discovered. But how did this person know that he was Qianli's son?

"In that case, let's have a one-on-one battle, but only after my Pokémon have fully recovered their strength!"

Seeing that Zhang Feng had agreed to the battle, Xiao Zhi was also excited and had no objection!

……

Chapter 16 Defeating Ash, Miss Joy's Gift!

Chapter Sixteen: Defeating Xiao Zhi, Miss Joy's Gift!

In the Pokémon world, if Pokémon lose their ability to battle or are seriously injured, they may not fully recover even by the next day, making it impossible for them to participate in the Pokémon League tournament!

Just like in the Silver Tournament of the Chengdu League, Ye Yue's Blaziken defeated Ash's Charizard, but was seriously injured and unable to participate in subsequent battles, which led to his defeat!

Therefore, in order to achieve good results in the league competition, you need to carefully select the Pokémon lineup you have!

However, although the forest lizard and Pidgey were defeated and lost their fighting ability, they recovered quickly!

By the afternoon, the two little ones had fully recovered!

Then, on the battle field at the Pokémon Center, a battle that attracted many people began!

This battle was one of the few recent matches in which a trainer had managed to obtain the Petalburg Gym Badge, so even Nurse Joy came to watch!

And the referee was naturally Xiao Gang!

"Next up is a battle between Ash and Zhang Feng. The battle rules are one-on-one. The match ends when both of either side's Pokémon are unable to battle!"

"Now, the match begins! Both sides, please send out your Pokémon simultaneously!"

As soon as Brock finished speaking, Ash's first Pokémon made its appearance!

Elf: Proud Swallow

Rating: 26

Trait: Perseverance

Attributes: Normal, Flying

Qualification: Blue

Bond Evolution: Not yet unlocked

Super Evolution: Not yet unlocked

Skills: Spinning Attack, Wing Attack, Shadow Clone, Lightning Strike, Peck...

Ash has already defeated four gyms, and his Taillow should have evolved by now, but it hasn't!

Furthermore, at this moment, Aogu Yan's strength has also reached the elite level!

Coincidentally, the first Pokémon Zhang Feng sent out was also a Flying-type Pokémon. If it wasn't Pidgeotto, then who was it?

Although Pidgey's level is slightly lower than Taillow, it is at least a second-stage evolution!

Evolved Pokémon are always stronger than unevolved ones!

"Tauren, the opponent is also a Flying-type Pokémon, you absolutely must win!"

Upon hearing Ash's words, Taillow's eyes gradually sharpened. As the former leader of Taillow, it was not afraid of anyone when it came to Flying-type Pokémon!

However, Zhang Feng's Pidgeotto had already fought with the Taillow family when it was Pidgey, so it was extremely dissatisfied with Pokémon like Taillow!

"Bibi!"

“Tear it up!”

And so, the two Flying-type Pokémon went head-to-head right from the start!

"Proud Swallow, unleash Lightning Flash!"

"Pipika, let's use Quick Attack too!"

In terms of size, Zhang Feng's Pidgey is much larger than the Swan, after all, the Swan is just a swallow, but Zhang Feng's Pidgey is based on birds of prey such as the Golden Eagle!

Of course, if Ash's Taillow had evolved into Swellow at this moment, there might have been some unexpected events, but if it hadn't evolved, Zhang Feng felt that Pidgeotto would definitely win!

As the two Pokémon simultaneously used Quick Attack, two beams of white light shot towards each other and collided violently!

With a loud bang, Pidgey and Tailwing bounced back at the same time!

Overall, Pidgey still had the advantage!

"Very good, that's it, unleash the wing attack!"

Ash, seeing that his Tauntier was actually at a disadvantage, also became anxious!

"Proud Swallow, don't give up! We'll use our wings to attack too!"

Along with Ash's voice, Taillow also shouted loudly, suddenly increasing its speed, and charged towards Pidgeotto again!

With sheer grit, the Swellow gradually managed to hold its own against Pidgey in their battles!

"Very good, Aogu Yan, that's it!"

But for Zhang Feng, Xiao Zhi is still a bit too green!

If it were during the Sinnoh League, or even the latter half of the Hoenn region, when Ash was challenging the Battle Pyramid, Zhang Feng would definitely not be a match for him now!

To win, we'll need to use Rayquaza!

Even if Ash sends out Pikachu now, Zhang Feng wouldn't be a match for it based on their levels!

But who told him to send out Aoguyan instead!

Therefore, luck can sometimes be a form of ability!

Before evolving, Taillow's level could never exceed level 30. After all, Taillow isn't like Ash's original Squirtle and Bulbasaur that refused to evolve!

Although they are only in their initial form, their level is already very high!

Therefore, Zhang Feng is strong enough to defeat Ao Gu Yan!

In addition to the difference in Pokémon aptitude, Pidgeotto ultimately prevailed over Taillow by virtue of its stamina and physical advantage!

"Now! Air Blade!"

After Zhang Feng gave the order, countless flying-type energies began to converge into spiral blades, just like Ultraman Ace's Ultra Cut!

They all rushed towards the proud swallow!

Having already been shot down and left with no way to dodge, the Taillow was further attacked by Pidgeotto, causing it to fall even faster and accumulate more and more wounds!

Seeing that Zhang Feng's Pidgeotto was actually dominating his own Tailbird, Ash became anxious!

As for Max, May, Brock, and the others standing to the side, as Ash's travel companions, they also didn't want Ash to lose!

Xiao Gang, however, gave Zhang Feng a deep look, already understanding that the battle was already decided!

Similarly, Miss Joey, watching from the sidelines, frequently glanced at Zhang Feng with her beautiful eyes!

At that moment, she made a decision!

After this battle ends, she will give her treasure to Zhang Feng. Only by following a trainer with such great potential as Zhang Feng can she unleash her full potential!

"Proud Swallow, go all out, turn around and attack!"

"Pipika, Quick Attack plus Wing Attack, unleash your full power!"

After receiving their respective trainer's orders, the two Flying-type Pokémon, Taillow and Pidgeotto, quickly charged towards each other!

Then, high in the sky, they collided violently!

Upon contact, Aoguyan fell from the sky and lost its ability to fight!

Pidgey, though also injured, still had about half its strength left and was completely fine!

"With the Tailwing unable to fight, Pidgeotto has won, so Zhang Feng is the winner of this battle!"

After the match ended, the trainers around started discussing it!

"This guy is really strong. Those of us who don't have the Petalburg Gym Badge are definitely no match for him!"

As for Ash, he immediately rushed to the battlefield, picked up Swellow, and headed straight for Nurse Joy!

Ash lost, which is good. Maybe having another formidable opponent will help him grow stronger faster!

After recalling Pidgeotto, Zhang Feng glanced at Max, May, Ash, and Brock before leaving.

"Miss Joy, I'm entrusting my Pidgey to you as well!"

After hearing Zhang Feng's words, Miss Joey smiled and said!

"Okay, leave everything to me. Oh, by the way, Xiaofeng, wait for me a moment, I have a gift I want to give you!"

Zhang Feng was a little surprised by what Miss Joey said. He wondered what Miss Joey wanted to give him.

It was at this moment that the God-Chosen System made a sound once again!

"Ding-dong, Miss Joey has detected a gift for the host. Trigger the following options!"

……

PS: Don't think it's illogical that the protagonist defeated Ash, who had four Gym Badges. After all, Pikachu in the Unova region could lose to Snivy and the rookie trainer, Shuu, let alone Taillow, which hadn't evolved yet!

Chapter 17 The Ugly Fish with Purple Aptitude, and Beautiful Scales!

"Ding-dong, we've detected that Miss Joey's favorability towards you has increased, and she's given you a gift. The God-Chosen System has triggered the following options:"

"Option 1: Refuse Miss Joey's gift. Miss Joey's favorability will decrease, and you will not be able to get anything from her!"

"Option Two: Accept Miss Joy's gift. Miss Joy's favorability will increase, and you will receive an Everstone!"

"Option 3: Accept Miss Joy's gift and promise to treat her well. Miss Joy's favorability will increase, and you will receive the Beautiful Scales!"

Upon seeing these three options, Zhang Feng was momentarily stunned!

He genuinely had no idea what gift Miss Joey wanted to give him.

However, based on the choices, the first one will definitely be eliminated first. As for the second and third options, Zhang Feng is naturally more eager to get the Beautiful Scale, because this item is necessary for Feebas in the Hoenn region to evolve into Milotic!
