How come my Pokémon turned into a girl?

As long as the other party took action with this idea in mind, it would be exactly what he wanted. Because he had not told the young man a piece of information - that is, the Scorpio King possessed the ability of "poison healing"!

At this moment, Scorpio, who was also poisoned, was not in as much pain as its opponent, Umbreon. On the contrary, judging from its expression, its condition was getting better and better, and even the physical strength previously consumed in creating the "stand-in" was gradually replenished.

The poison healing property can transform the toxins that invade the body into healing power. Because of this, being poisoned is definitely not a flaw for the Scorpio King, but the key to unleashing this powerful property!

After all, that trainer was still too young. Perhaps his skills and mentality were perfectly adequate, but experience was something that talent could not bring; it required a long time to accumulate.

It was precisely because he did not understand the attributes and characteristics of the Scorpio King that he made two major command mistakes in a row, forcing himself into a desperate situation.

"Perhaps the future will belong to you, but right now, your strength still has a lot of room to grow. Now that Umbreon is suffering from the poison, there's only one Pokémon left for you to play, right? I think it's almost time to decide the winner..."

Aju, the leader of the Crimson Gym, made a judgment on this Pokémon battle like a referee. When everyone at the scene heard his words, their reactions were different.

"Master Qianye...lost?" As the biggest "Qianye fan," Ah Xing obviously couldn't accept this result, puffing her lips in anger and saying:

"Dad actually cheated. He doesn't have the dignity of a senior at all!"

"Fraud is the characteristic of ninjas. For the loser, no matter what reason they find, it's just an excuse. As I said before, my brother will never lose!" Aya beside him raised her eyebrows proudly. After this game, this little niece should be able to understand a little bit about how powerful her father is.

However, Nancy, who was standing in the spectator booth on the other side, had a completely different reaction. Her beautiful red eyes stared deeply at the young man who lowered his head as if he had accepted his fate. But the shared inner connection between the two made the girl know that her lover had not given up yet.

Perhaps, Aju, who was known as the Ninja Master, was indeed quite accomplished in the art of deception, but the Qianye she knew was no less skilled in this respect.

After all, she herself started from a Pokémon battle full of "fraud" and was deceived step by step into the opponent's palm.

"Gym Leader Aju, I think the battle is not over yet..." Qianye lowered his head deeply and responded in a suppressed voice to Aju's verdict.

"Oh? Even in this situation, you still want to make a final desperate struggle?"

"On the contrary..." When Qianye said this and raised his head, everyone present except Naz was surprised to find that the young man still had a smile on his face, as if he had already grasped victory.

"I was just thinking, it's about time we start turning the tide!"

"Moon Eevee, use characteristic swap!"

"What?!" This exclamation came from Aju, who had never lost his composure from the beginning until now. The straight lines on his serious face, as if carved by a sculptor one by one, were quietly deformed in shock.

There was no time to order Scorpio to stop Umbreon's actions, because at this moment the golden circle on the black head had already emitted light and connected to Scorpio's body.

The two Pokémon connected by this power felt a temporary change in their essence at that moment.

"Grike... scare scare scare!!!" The sudden severe pain throughout his body made the Scorpio King scream. The previous toxins had actually accumulated to a certain level in his body, but he was immune to it because of the poison healing properties.

But now, Scorpio, whose body has been replaced by Umbreon's "Synchronize" characteristic, can no longer ignore the poison. All the accumulated toxins burst out, pushing his spirit to the limit in a very short time.

On the other hand, the damage caused by the poison on Umbreon was beginning to heal with the "poison treatment" gained from the exchange of characteristics, and it was about to fully recover to a healthy state.

"Gym Leader Aju, from now on, the offense and defense will switch forms."

Chapter 90: Victory, Aju's Poison Heart Technique

Where did things go wrong? It seems that after the boy commanded Magneto to launch a 100,000-volt attack on Scorpio King, he subconsciously made a judgment based on the other party's lack of understanding of Scorpio King.

The trap, so it started from there...

"When victory is about to be achieved, the trainer is most relaxed." Qianye said with a smile.

Gym Leader Aju is a cautious person. If he sends out Umbreon right after Kuroko sends out Umbreon, he will definitely think about his purpose. He might even think of the Umbreon's ability to swap abilities, and change his strategy or even switch players.

So he chose to pretend that he knew nothing about the Scorpio King, in order to induce his opponent to make plans based on this point.

When the situation is still in the preparation stage and is uncertain, a chess player may choose many strategies, but when he thinks he has figured out his opponent, his next step is to act according to his original plan.

Eliminating all variables and letting the opponent take the initiative to act in the direction you want to see, this is the highest level of Pokémon battles - commanding the opponent.

The only thing that was not expected was that the Scorpio King actually had the "Tile Splitting" move. Otherwise, relying on the reflection wall left by the Moon Eevee, it should have been able to take another move and exit in a relatively good condition.

"What! You're just putting on an act, this isn't even a Pokémon battle!" Aya in the spectator booth couldn't help but say angrily as she watched her brother's ace Scorpio King gradually being drained of his own poison, but unable to be replaced because he was fixed by the black gaze.

"Auntie, any excuse a loser gives is just an excuse. You said that yourself." Finally, they were able to win back a game. Ah Xing beside them said with a mischievous smile. At the same time, they made a trumpet shape with their hands and shouted to the crowd:

"Come on, Master! Let's win the game in one go!"

That girl... Glancing at his rebellious daughter, Aju's face showed no expression, but his head was already aching.

He forced his attention back to the arena and gave the order, "Scorpio King, split the tiles!"

The Scorpio King can't hold on for much longer. Before you fall to the ground, make a final contribution to your companions.

"Ah...scare..."

With a difficult cry, the Scorpion King, whose purple color was beginning to turn black, raised its pincers that glowed white, swooped down and smashed it on the head of the Moon Eevee.

"Umbreon, hold on!"

"Buee ...

At this moment, due to the effect of the poison treatment, the fatigue in the red eyes of the Moon Eevee has been swept away. She walked forward slowly and looked down at the opponent who had caused her a lot of trouble.

"Oh no, Scorpio King, come back soon!"

Thinking that Moon Eevee was planning to retaliate against the defenseless Scorpio because of the poison torture he had just suffered, Aji hurriedly took out the Poké Ball. However, before pressing the button, he suddenly remembered that his Scorpio had been locked by the Black Eyes, and there was no way to retrieve it through the Poké Ball.

"Don't be nervous, Gym Leader Aju. Umbreon isn't planning on hurting your Scorpio."

Qianye's words made Aju stunned for a moment, and then he heard the cheerful sound of a bell ringing in the field. Looking in the direction of the sound, he saw musical notes circling and dancing on the black body of the Moon Eevee.

"That move is... Healing Bell?"

The notes spread, seeping into the bodies of every Pokémon present. Whether it was Umbreon or Scorpio on the ground, the deep purple on their skin gradually faded under the healing effects of the notes, a sign that the toxins were being eliminated.

"Scary?" The gray-purple scorpion moved slightly, barely opening its eyelids to reveal a weak and puzzled look. For some reason, the painful feeling of poisoning suddenly dissipated.

The Poké Ball at his waist shook. Feeling the vibration, Qianye lowered his head and gently tapped the red and white ball containing Kuroko. The healing bell's effect was also transmitted into the ball, completely healing Kuroko, who was also poisoned.

"Why do you do this?" Aju couldn't understand why Qianye and Umbreon did this. Using the healing bell would eliminate the toxins in their bodies, and the replaced poison healing properties would not be effective.

Even if it was just to heal the previously poisoned wolfhound, it would be possible to prevent the healing bell's effect from spreading to the Scorpio King. After all, the outcome of the match had not yet been announced, and the Scorpio King, having completed his healing, would likely be sent into battle again.

"The battle isn't over yet. It would be very painful to be tortured by the poison all the time... I think Umbreon feels the same way."

"Buee~" Moon Eevee hummed softly, as if confirming Qianye's explanation.

"Oh, so that's how it is..." Ah Ju's dazed expression became relieved after hearing the other party's words. He turned around with his hands behind his back, leaving only his back to the crowd, and said lightly:

"Aya, announce the results of the competition."

"What? But Onii-sama...you still have two Pokémon that can fight!"

I immediately understood what Aju meant, but Aya really couldn't accept this result. Her brother still had two Pokémon that hadn't appeared, and the opponent only had two that were still at their peak strength. The current situation was at most a draw. Why did they admit defeat so quickly?

However, Aju did not answer, but just waved his hand behind his back to her.

Helplessly, the female ninja could only grit her teeth and announce the result of the competition:

"Since Gym Leader Aju has given up the competition, the winner of this Pokémon battle is Trainer Qianye from Pallet Town."

……

"As agreed upon earlier, this is the light red badge. Please keep it safe."

Aju's hand reached out to Qianye. A pink heart-shaped badge rested quietly on his skin, as rough as old tree bark. Honestly, with Aju's aura, paired with this kind of gym badge, there was a rather strange, sultry quality.

After taking the badge from the other person's hand and pinning it to his clothes, Qianye raised his head and looked into those calm eyes. Finally, he couldn't help but speak:

"Gym Leader Aju, to be honest, I'm a little confused as to why you're giving up the competition."

"The reason is simple. Before initiating the battle, I already knew a lot about your Pokémon... Among them, your most powerful and most important trump card is the unique Black Kodora."

This is true. Among all the Pokémon, Kodara has the least variety of moves. Even Kuroko has the taunts for interference and the surprise attack with a unique offensive mechanism, but all Kodara has learned are purely violent attack moves.

Although her moves are unremarkable, Kodora possesses a beautiful stat set, with both her defense and attack attributes being quite outstanding, though her speed is a bit lacking. In terms of pure combat power, she is indeed her strongest Pokémon.

"I originally intended to use my Scorpio to fight against that Black Kodora. After it was poisoned and fell, my remaining Pokémon had almost no means to deal with Kodora. It was just that I couldn't accept the defeat, so I didn't admit defeat right away."

"I should say I'm very grateful to you. If it weren't for Umbreon's reminder, I wouldn't have realized that Scorpio was still in pain. I've been immersed in ninja training for too long and even forgot what a Pokémon trainer should be like."

Qian Ye had never expected to see gratitude in the eyes of this serious and old-fashioned middle-aged man, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

"I plan to resign from my position as the Crimson Gym Leader starting today and resume my training as a trainer. When I achieve mastery, I may challenge you once again."

"Ah? But then, what about your Crimson Gym?"

"Why not just give it to Ah Xing?" Ah Ju clearly had a plan in mind. "After watching that fight between that child and her aunt, I think there's no problem handing the Gym Leader position to her. As her master, you should have a better understanding of this."

The tone was so calm that Qianye couldn't tell whether the other party was sincere or just teasing him. "Ahem... no, no, I just taught her a few tricks. The main thing is that Ah Xing has a good understanding."

"Maybe," without intending to continue the topic about his daughter, Aju lowered his head slightly and looked down at the black Eevee sitting at the boy's feet.

"That Umbreon was well-raised. Take this one too. It should be of some help to it."

"What is this?" Aju took out an old and somewhat yellowed booklet and placed it on Qianye's palm. Although it looked very old, the pages were not damaged or wrinkled at all. It seemed that the owner of the book had kept it very well.

In response to the boy's confusion, Aju explained, "This is a collection of my experience and insights gained from training poison-type Pokémon over the years, including the refinement and improvement of extremely poisonous moves."

"But... this thing is too precious!" After understanding the significance of this booklet from Aju's explanation, Qianye seemed a little hesitant. Aju was undoubtedly a master of poison, and he had not done anything special, so it was somewhat inappropriate for him to accept the master's notes.

"Take it. This book can only be used in the hands of a qualified trainer."

"Don't forget, what we did earlier wasn't a gym challenge, but a trainer battle. You proved your qualifications with a beautiful victory, and this booklet is the real trophy of this battle."

Chapter 91: If you get into trouble in the future, just don’t tell your master about it

"Master Qianye, Axing will miss you often. When you become the champion of the Kanto League, don't forget your lovely apprentice~"

"It's not that easy to become the league champion..." The purple-haired girl laughed and hugged him tightly. Qianye's face was quite helpless. Did this child think that the championship was some common title? She was too superstitious about her own strength.

"As for you, you will be the Gym Leader of the Crimson Gym from now on. You must work harder, or you won't be able to keep even a single gym badge."

"Don't worry, Master. I will remember your teachings and defeat those challengers one by one, making the name of Qian Yeliu famous!"

Qianyeliu...at most it's just some small tricks to trick people. It's too exaggerated to regard it as a school of thought.

Wait a minute, Ah Xing should be talking about moves like Sleep Poison, what if this girl really uses it and the trainers who challenge the Crimson Gym spread it out... No, no, this kind of thing must be stopped.

"Axing, there's something I must tell you first."

"Master, please give me your instructions. Ah Xing will definitely keep them in mind." Seeing Qian Ye so serious for the first time, the girl immediately became alert, pricked up her ears and waited attentively for his next words.

"If you get into trouble in the future... No, I mean, if you really become famous, remember to never mention your master to others. Don't even mention Qian Yeliu or anything like that!"

"Why, Master? I learned all my fighting philosophies from you. If I don't declare my mastership, others won't know that these powerful tactics all come from you, right?"

Why? I don't want to show up one day and be chased by a group of trainers who have been disgusted by Sleep Poison and Sleep Poison Arrows with steel pipes.

"Ahem, actually, I don't really care about these titles. And think about it, as the daughter of the Aju Gym Leader, do you want others to just say 'the daughter of the Crimson Gym Leader' when they mention you?"

"Of course I don't want to. That's why I want to become a capable poison-type trainer as soon as possible."

When Qianye pointed out something that had always bothered her, Ah Xing clenched her fists and answered seriously.

"Isn't that right? If you win later and mention my name, won't they still give the honor to me?... I'd rather your own efforts be recognized!"

"Master..." The purple-haired girl's eyes sparkled with emotion. She didn't expect that when the time of separation was almost approaching, her master would still consider her so wholeheartedly.

She decided that not only would she announce her master's lineage after defeating her opponent, but if given the chance, she would also strive to move to a wider arena so that her master could see her actions to prove herself and be proud of her, and also help promote her master's style.

"Please rest assured, Master! I will definitely not let you down!"

After excitedly making a promise to the boy, Ah Xing rushed over again and gave him a final hug before parting.

Alas, this child is teachable... After receiving the girl's answer, Qian Ye felt relieved all of a sudden, and patted Ah Xing's back gently with a look of satisfaction.

Standing nearby and watching the entire process quietly, Naz tilted her head, and a black question mark bubble seemed to appear on her head: Are these two people... really talking about the same thing?
