I beg you female trainers to give me money even if you lose!

"I guess so."

Yang Xiying also felt it was quite a coincidence that she brought Mingyi along, "But the Homiga Band is indeed as amazing as they say."

With the drummer issue resolved, Yang Xiying and Mingyi both enjoyed a musical feast, proving that the Homiga Band is truly professional.

"Just listening to their performances makes me want to write a rock song myself,"

Listening to that music even got Yang Xiying excited.

He even wanted to rush back to do... move a song. When it comes to rock, he easily thinks of Joan of Arc's "Wild Fang".

A wild and uplifting song, it is also the theme song of Mega Man X8 and one of his favorite vocal songs in the Mega Man series.

After all, there was a lot of good music in that series.

"...I think you, Teacher Ge, are just as good,"

Mingyi felt a little embarrassed. In her impression, Teacher Ge was a remarkable person who brought all sorts of ingenious ideas to life.

—And this person is also a musical expert, having composed quite a few pieces.

"But what kind of piece of music are you going to compose, Teacher Pigeon?"

Finally, Mingyi, still curious, asked Yang Xiying.

"You'll know once I finish making and release it. Alright, we're at the Pokémon Center. It's getting late, see you tomorrow."

"Okay, see you tomorrow, Teacher Ge."

In the end, Yang Xiying and Mingyi parted ways, and the two didn't meet again until the morning at the Pokémon Center's cafeteria.

Good morning, Teacher Ge!

"Good morning, Mingyi. You're up early."

"Hey, I'm really looking forward to today's dojo match."

The two exchanged brief greetings before heading into the breakfast area. It was only then that Yang Xiying realized the little girl had an unusually large appetite.

However, Yang Xiying could tell that the girl opposite her was very strong, so it was normal for her to have such a large appetite. So how would such a girl perform in the dojo?

"Oh, you two are here so early."

After eating and drinking their fill, Yang Xiying and Mingyi arrived at the Liyong Dojo, where they met the dojo master, Homiga, in the reception hall.

This girl has a somewhat boyish style. She is wearing a long-sleeved shirt with a blue base and purple stripes, which almost covers her pants, giving the illusion that she is not wearing any clothes. She is also wearing black platform boots.

He had white hair, tied in a small braid on top of his head that looked like a pineapple leaf, which made his forehead look very energetic.

Like Ash Blossom, this character probably needs a beautiful girl phantom thief outfit to salvage her appearance.

"Hmm, the gym is open yet? Miss Homiga, we're ready for the challenge,"

Yang Xiying nodded in response to the person opposite her.

"Of course, and I've been looking forward to a fight with you guys since yesterday,"

Homiga responded with a hearty smile.

"Especially you, I didn't expect the legendary Teacher Pigeon to be collecting badges too." She had heard of Teacher Pigeon before.

Not only is he doing great things in real life, but he is also a disseminator of various Pokémon-related knowledge online, and he also has some knowledge of music.

She naturally wanted to meet this guy, but she never expected that he would come to her performance as an audience member yesterday and help her a lot, which made her feel flattered.

Then she heard that Yang Xiying was coming to challenge the Liyong Dojo, which made her even more excited. She could finally compete with the legendary Pigeon Teacher as the dojo master...

"Since you're so excited, I'll have to prepare well for our match. So, how about this girl next to me goes first?"

Yang Xiying smiled and then steered the conversation toward Mingyi beside her.

"I overheard her saying on the way that she was going to take a Level 2 gym challenge, which means she was going to have a 3-on-3 Master 30 duel with you."

"Ha, that takes guts."

Homiga looked at Mingyi with an appreciative expression, even though challenging a gym for a level 30 3-on-3 Master Duel was not common.

However, she had heard Mingyi introduce herself as a rookie trainer who had just started traveling and had only obtained the Hinoki City Gym Badge.

"Alright, Mingyi, if you want to take on the Level 2 Gym Trial, come with me. Of course, Teacher Pigeon can also watch from the sidelines."

Homiga called out to Mingyi and Yang Xiying, and then the two of them followed Homiga. The guides did not offer any assistance.

"Alright, this is my gym. The Level 1 gym challenge is very simple. Just defeat the five trainers here."

Homiga Gym doesn't have any maze-like structures; it's a straightforward series of battles, and Naruto follows suit as usual.

She understood it this way because you can tell the type of Gym Leader by the type of Pokémon used by the Gym Leader.

The match then officially began, with Homiga and Yang Xiying acting as spectators, watching Mingyi battle the gym leader.

"Thank you for your help, Lucario!"

Then Homiga and Yang Xiying were both completely stumped by the Pokémon sent by Mingyi, right? Sisters?!

Lucario is definitely a rare Pokémon, and anyone who can get their hands on one is hardly a newbie.

—So Mingyi is playing dumb to fool everyone!

In short, after Mingyi sends out Lucario, it becomes a one-sided massacre against the Gym Leaders because Lucario is very strong.

It has a great advantage against the Lishang Gym, which specializes in poison, since Lucario has the steel type and is directly immune to poison.

She also knows moves like Psychic and Earthquake, which are effective against Poison-type Pokémon, but Mei usually uses Psychic.

Lucario's Special Attack stat is even higher than its Physical Attack stat, so it can easily defeat the Pokémon of the Gym Leader.

Soon, Homiga had to step in and give Mingyi a Level 2 gym challenge, and she couldn't help but look at Mingyi with newfound respect.

—It's truly remarkable that a rookie trainer possesses such strength right from the start.

Finally, the two sides began a 3-on-3 master duel at level 30, but Homiga made a wrong move at the very beginning.

Because she was planning to play a Centipede Baton Pass strategy, but Mingyi's first pick was a Blaziken with the Prankster ability and the Trick move.

Cool Leopard gave his exquisite scarf to Centipede King, who was using sword dance, and then Centipede King was provoked by Cool Leopard...

PS: Update!

508

Chapter 508 Genius girl Mingyi battles Homiga!

Because he had changed into a fancy scarf, the Centipede King, who was using Sword Dance, could only continue using Sword Dance, and then accepted the provocation in the second round.

This puts the Centipede King, which is only allowed to use Swords Dance while wearing the scarf, in a contradictory state, turning its moves into a struggle where the Pokémon has no moves to use.

It deals 50 non-elemental damage to the opponent, and the user also takes damage equal to 1/4 of their maximum HP.

This was negligible damage to Mingyi's Cool Leopard, so the Cool Leopard could do whatever it wanted, sending the Centipede King away with two Flower-Transfer!

In the end, Homiga had no choice but to send out a second Pokémon, a giant purple, mud-shaped Pokémon called Muk.

Unlike the one Yang Xiying saw at the Fuchsia Gym, this is its Kanto region form. Homiga plans to use Muk to take down Leopard.

However, Homiga witnessed the dirty tricks of the opposing Cool Leopard, and with a mischievous heart, she used her charm to lower Muk's attack by two hits.

Even the most powerful trash shot from Muk couldn't take down the Cool Leopard, and in the end, Homiga used his precious substitution opportunity to get the Double Gas.

The tantrums of the leopard were blocked, but this didn't pose a big problem for the Weezing, since Homiga's Weezing also has a special attack move!

Furthermore, the double-explosive chemical change gas can nullify the abilities of Pokémon on the field, so Lizard cannot rely on Prankster.

But this doesn't seem to make much difference, because the Leopard itself has a base Speed ​​stat of 106, which is faster than the Weezing's base Speed ​​stat of only 60.

Then, the leopard also carried a secret phrase that could lower Special Attack by one stage, ultimately creating an opportunity for Mei's next Pokémon.

Mingyi's remaining Pokémon are Scoliped and Lucario, and Mingyi will also use Scoliped to play the baton pass strategy.

However, now when facing Weezing, Lucario can sweep the team by using Calm Mind to boost Special Attack and Special Defense after Weezing's attack.

Then, with a single psychic strike, he took down the opponent. He did the same with Muk, though he didn't finish it off in one hit, he still severely injured it.

In the end, only the Centipede King could finish them off, and in short, the rookie Pokémon trainer, Mingyi, emerged victorious.

"As expected, none of you guys who call yourselves newbies are simple..."

Back in reality, Homiga scratched his head, somewhat puzzled.

Mingyi's performance was truly beyond her expectations. She directly possessed three Pokémon of level 3 or higher and knew how to use various tactics.

This is something a newcomer couldn't achieve, to the point that she didn't need any guidance during the match.

Let them experience the joy of success first.

“No, I learned all of this from Teacher Pigeon,”

Mingyi was too embarrassed to respond, as she had learned her battle experience from Teacher Ge.

"...I haven't missed any of Pigeon Teacher's videos either, okay? You've used a lot of Pokémon that Pigeon Teacher hasn't explained."

Homiga's expression was strange.

Homiga didn't believe that watching videos could lead to this level of fame, after all, Teacher Pigeon is very famous now, with fans everywhere.

My strength will improve because of Teacher Pigeon, but not by much. And something's not right with Mingyi. She's already at the threshold of becoming an elite trainer.

But she said that she had only been traveling for a short time and felt like someone was giving her special treatment, and that she had come with someone.

"—So, Mingyi, can you tell me how to become Teacher Ge's apprentice?"

"Uh……"

Seeing Homiga lean in to whisper something, Mingyi didn't know how to respond.

"I didn't give any special training to any audience member, and Mingyi isn't my apprentice,"

Yang Xiying also walked over at this moment, her tone helpless.

"However, I did make a special Pokémon video for Mingyi, but that was for a newcomer in the Unova region using Pokémon."

"I haven't made a video for Pokémon like Scorbunny Lucario yet."

"Oh? In that case, Mingyi, didn't you figure it out on your own?"

Homiga immediately showed a surprised expression.

Is this younger sister a genius?!

"...Ahaha, that's true, but I was indeed greatly influenced by Teacher Pigeon, because there are so many Pokémon in this world."

Mingyi responded modestly.

"As a result, there are many Pokémon with the same role in battles, such as Pokémon with the Guts ability."

"Rattata is a relatively rare type in our Unova region, so we can only use other Pokémon with the Guts ability instead."

"Moreover, some Pokémon can make even greater use of the Guts ability, such as the Portable Slug that we can see in our region."

As she spoke, she launched into a long and eloquent speech. She did not deny that she had put in the effort, which, to put it bluntly, was to learn by analogy.

She had noticed Dawei Li's baton-passing skill in Teacher Ge's videos before, and this skill is not unique.

The Scolipede from the Unova region can also do this, and the Scolipede here also has the Speed ​​Boost ability, which makes it more useful than the Aphelios.

Then she will know the Pokémon that Yang Xiying didn't mention because she studies the local Pokémon in every region she visits.

devising ways to use them and how to deal with them is quite an effort, so much so that Mingyi got a new Pokémon last year.

She only went on a trip a month ago, since there are quite a few interesting Pokémon near the city where she lives.

—Okay, this girl is also a swordswoman from Shili Slope, similar to Crimson Green...

"Ah...this is exactly the behavior of a good student. The Unova region will have another amazing trainer in the future."

Seeing Mingyi talking so enthusiastically, Homiga felt that the person opposite him was a top student, something that someone like him who gets sleepy while reading couldn't compare to.

"In short, congratulations on passing the Level 2 Gym Trial. The Poison Smoke Badge and the prize money of the Liyong Gym are yours."

"Then comes the reward for successfully completing the Level 2 Gym Trial: the TM Toxic Spike. Scatter it on the ground."

"It can poison the Pokémon that your opponent switches, but the Poison-type Pokémon will absorb the poison spikes and make them disappear, so please be careful."

"I will, thank you."

Seeing the generous reward after defeating the dojo, Mingyi's face lit up with joy, knowing that this would allow her to take another step forward.
