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

"......!" Xiaoxia's tone stagnated, "I won't be happy even if you say that, you troublemaker!"

Isn't it natural that she would be popular? A young gym leader in Cerulean City, a famous swimming athlete.

As the most powerful water-attribute Pokémon trainer in the Kanto region, he can also hear people around him praising him.

I am even called the "playful mermaid", but not many people are interested in me.

Although my ideal type is a handsome, self-reliant man who is older and taller than me, not only good at fighting, but also gentle and tolerant.

But it shouldn't be the case that no one dares to confess to me. This time, a man finally mustered up the courage to come over, but...

"Then let me help you look for one. What type of the opposite sex do you like?" Yang Xiying's expression was subtle, and then she thought of a way to make up for it.

"...Gu." Xiaoxia was a little confused by Yang Xiying's sudden move. "Why are you suddenly caring about young people's life affairs like the aunt next door?"

"Let's talk about the matter. If you want to find a boyfriend, I will try to create some opportunities for you," Yang Xiying answered as a matter of course.

"But the guy who wanted to confess but ran away in fear because of someone else's shouting is not very reliable," he said, changing the subject.

"A lively and lovely girl like you should have higher standards." The guy who took a step back at the critical moment looked like a victim...

Speaking of which, the original HeartGold and SoulSilver games are not very similar to that. Xiaoxia's boyfriend was scared away by the male protagonist of the game and never appeared again.

Later, the male protagonist got in touch with Misty because of a Pokémon battle, got her contact information, and was able to make an appointment with her to fight at a specific location through a phone call.

The protagonist can even be called by specific terms such as troublemaker, annoying ghost, etc. If the Pokémon battle is changed to other terms, then basically...

cough cough.

"...You don't have to say that," Xiaoxia looked strange, but what the other party said was right, that person was not suitable.

"I was planning to refuse because I still want to develop into a true water-attribute Pokémon master and cannot be swayed by emotions."

"I want to be number one in the world. Men are a hindrance, right?" Yang Xiying said in a teasing tone, which made Xiaoxia unable to help but refute.

"Do you really want to make me angry? You annoying guy!" Although that's the truth, why does it sound so harsh?

"And if you like judging others so much, what about yourself? You're not just any Pokémon trainer with six Poké Balls hanging around your waist."

"So... you want to have a Pokémon battle with me?" Yang Xiying's expression was subtle, while the other party snorted.

"I really want to have a Pokémon battle with you to vent my frustration, but I am the gym leader of the Cerulean Gym after all."

"It's too cheap to fight privately, but you probably haven't obtained the blue badge yet. After all, I still have some impression of the challenger."

"...Are you so sure that I will fight Pokémon for the gym badge?" Yang Xiying raised her eyebrows.

"What else can you do? You've already captured six Pokémon. If you're just going to keep them, you might as well apply to become a Pokémon breeder."

Xiaoxia's face looked strange.

"Of course, even to do this now you need a few badges to prove yourself. Don't you want your future path to be wider and longer?"

"Haha, I really can't deny that the road ahead is broader and farther," Yang Xiying smiled, "I really want to challenge the Hualan Gym."

"So I'll be looking forward to your guidance tomorrow, Miss Xiaoxia. My name is Yang Xiying, a Pokémon trainer from Yan Country."

As she spoke, Yang Xiying also stretched out her hand.

"Come back to me for guidance once you've passed the Level One Gym Trial," and the other person responded by reaching out and shaking his hand.

"——and your name is really difficult to pronounce."

"Level one is quite easy for me," Yang Xiying responded casually, letting go of the other person's hand.

"—If you think my name is difficult to pronounce, you can call me Yang or Mr. Yang."

"Wait until you win before letting me call you by your abbreviation," Xiaoxia curled her lips, then looked at the sky and decided it was time to go back.

"It's getting late now, Gyarados!" As she said this, Misty also summoned a Pokémon at this moment, and it was Gyarados!

Faced with such a ferocious species, Misty sat on it without fear, even though Gyarados could not perform flying moves.

——But it can still fly, and its size also allows it to function as a mount.

"If you want to fight me, you'll have to prepare Pokémon that are as strong as the child. By the way, do you want me to give you a ride?"

Xiaoxia, who was sitting on the back of Gyarados, also turned her gaze to Yang Xiying. To be honest, she didn't even know why the other party came here.

"No, I came here to deliver a package to a friend I know, but he is not at home right now because he has something to do," Yang Xiying responded directly.

"friend?"

Xiaoxia was suddenly stunned. There was only one resident on Route 25... As she was thinking this, she heard a sound coming from a distance.

"Over there, are you Yang Xiying?"

The voice also diverted Xiaoxia and Yang Xiying's attention, and they found that it was a brown-haired man wearing a purple shirt and earth-colored trousers.

"Are you Mr. Zhenghui?" Yang Xiying also asked. His appearance and clothes were similar to what Dr. Oak described.

"It's me. Sorry, I came here just now because the lighthouse was out of order. I kept you waiting for a long time," Zhenghui nodded and walked towards Yang Xiying.

"It's okay. A lighthouse failure is no small matter," Yang Xiying shook her head. A lighthouse is a signpost that indicates the direction at sea.

"Haha, thank you for your understanding. Eh? Gyarados, and isn't this the Cerulean Gym Leader, Ms. Misty?"

"You are here too, and with Yang Xiying?" Zhenghui realized that there was someone he knew here when he got closer.

"——Is this a date?"

As the inventor of the Pokémon storage system, Zhenghui naturally knows a lot of people, and so does Xiaoxia.

The other party is also very famous in Hualan City, but he has only met him a few times for business.

"No way!" Xiaoxia was also furious at Zhenghui's guess, and she directly refuted, "Why would you have such an idea, Mr. Zhenghui!"

"Haha, sorry, sorry," Zhenghui scratched his head, "After all, most people who come to Hualan Cape come in pairs."

"——So I just use habitual thinking to speculate, if there is any offense, there will be more offense."

"It's okay. It's time for me to go back now. Gyarados, bounce!" Misty shook her head, then gave the order and jumped high into the sky with Gyarados!

"Letting Gyarados carry people to fly, he really deserves to be the leader of the Cerulean Gym," Zhenghui couldn't help but sigh as he watched the figure disappear into the air.

"Okay, Yang Xiying, let's go inside and talk about anything," At this time, Zhenghui also turned his gaze to Yang Xiying.

"Yeah," Yang Xiying nodded, then walked into Zhenghui's house and handed him the things sent by Professor Oak.

"Oh, this is exactly what I want," Zhenghui showed a surprised expression when he received the express delivery handed over by Yang Xiying.

"Thank you so much, Yang Xiying. I have to say that you kids from Zhenxin Town have helped me a lot."

"It's just that I don't have a ticket for the St. Ann's this time. However, you will still get the reward you deserve."

"I just don't know what you want."

"Well, there's no need to be so formal. I'm just running an errand. Just treat me to a meal and a cup of tea."

Yang Xiying responded politely.

"Haha, this is actually what Professor Oak meant. He said you helped him a lot, so he wanted to give you something as a reward."

Zhenghui smiled and spoke.

"But the only thing I can think of is giving away Pokémon. He wants you to choose one from among Bulbasaur, Squirtle, and Charmander."

"However, he has never heard of your idea in this regard, and your current Pokémon team has all Fire, Water, and Grass-type Pokémon."

"So, it's better to let you speak yourself. Um, now you can tell me, what Pokémon do you want?"

As a Pokémon fanatic, he has collected a large number of Pokémon, but these children also need a chance to show their individuality.

These can be entrusted to trustworthy Pokémon Trainers, and Professor Oak entrusted this task to himself because of this.

"Well, as for Pokémon, I don't want to add new companions for the time being," responded Yang Xiying. He now has about nine Pokémon.

Except for the four almost graduated Blue Blade, Oni, Giant Vine, Dai Hippo, and Forritos, Infernape, Diglett, 3D Dragon, 2 skins, baby Zubat, are all babies.

——If there is another one, I really won’t be able to take care of it all by myself.

"Is that so..." Zhenghui noticed something on his waist and realized, "The Pokémon you are carrying are indeed full."

"In that case, let's put this aside for now. Just tell me when you want a Pokémon."

"I understand," Yang Xiying nodded, but seeing Zhenghui's relaxed look he couldn't help but speak.

"——By the way, can any Pokémon be used?"

"Yeah," Zhenghui nodded, then changed the subject, "But I suggest you choose Pokémon that are generally difficult to obtain."

"For example, 3D Dragonite is basically controlled by the Pokémon League. Last time, Professor Oak's grandson asked me for 3D Dragonite."

"——Or two. One is said to be a gift to a friend in Pallet Town, and that is you, Yang Xiying."

"Eh? It turns out that Mr. Zhenghui helped you get the 3D dragon?" Yang Xiying immediately showed a surprised expression.

——No one has told him this yet.

"Yeah, so I can help you find any Pokémon that is as rare as 3D Dragonite. Yang, do you know Pokémon like Eevee?"

Zhenghui spoke with a smile, and then asked a question to the other party, and Yang Xiying also responded directly to the other party.

"Of course, evolving Pokémon have many different possibilities for evolution due to their own unstable genes, but the number of them that survive is very small."

"Yes, Eevee is a very incredible Pokémon. The fact that it can evolve into three different types of Pokémon in the first place is already a great discovery."

"Not long after that, we discovered two types of Eevee: Sun and Moon in the Johto region, and Leaf and Glaceon in the Sinnoh region."

"In the Kalos region, which was the first to realize the existence of the fairy system, Sylveon appeared," Zhenghui said, becoming excited.

"I'm now a little curious whether Eevee has any new evolutionary form..." He started talking.

After all, Eevee is Zhenghui's favorite Pokémon, and Yang Xiying can also continue to talk about Pokémon-related topics with the other party.

Of course, they didn't talk for too long, because Yang Xiying had to go back to the Pokémon Center to prepare for tomorrow's gym challenge.

——However, he did become familiar with Zhenghui and got his contact information.

……

The next day, Yang Xiying did not encounter any problems at night like she did in Deep Gray City. She returned to the hotel and had a good sleep.

After getting up, I did a quick wash and headed towards the Cerulean Gym, which is actually not far from the Pokémon Center.

It is convenient to walk. When Yang Xiying arrived here, she saw the open door of the gym. She walked in and a white-haired and bronze-skinned man came to greet her.

"...Didn't we meet at the Dark Gray Gym last time?"

Seeing this man, Yang Xiying couldn't hold back her emotions anymore, and the explanation from the other side made her even more overwhelmed.

Because the one in Deep Gray City is his brother. No, you guys are also doing wholesale like Miss Joy Junsha and the others, right?

Of course, there is no need to pay too much attention to these details. The most important thing is to challenge the gym. The rules of the gym are very simple.

First is level one, where you cross the swimming pool to the end, where the gym leader, Misty, is waiting for the brave trainer.

Therefore, the prerequisite for completing this challenge is to be able to swim. Of course, you can also let the Pokémon carry you there.

However, we cannot avoid the challenge from the Pokémon Trainers in the swimming pool. There are now five Pokémon Trainers in the swimming pool.

They were all big brothers and big sisters wearing swimsuits. Ignoring the big brothers, Yang Xiying felt a little nervous about the big sisters in swimsuits.

After all, if I beat them, I'll have to pay them meaningless compensation, and this is in a public place!

No, the other party should be able to endure for a while, and Xiaoxia is staring at me now...

——Are you still holding a grudge?

"Excuse me, do you need to change into a swimsuit?"

At this time, the guide also reminded Yang Xiying that the fact that Hualan Gym proposed a swimming test meant that this was a water-themed gym.

You can wear a swimsuit here, even the gym leader Misty wears a swimsuit and a jacket.

——I have to say, this is a gym with a lot of benefits.

"of course."

Yang Xiying didn't want to get his clothes wet, so he quickly became naked. Of course, he hadn't yet learned the true skills of the diving club, so he still had on swimming trunks.

However, this still caused many people to turn their attention to him...

PS: Two-in-one chapter, there are still sixteen chapters.
