I, Xiao Mao, want to become a Pokémon Master!

"hair!"

The ball of fur didn't fall down; it struggled to get up from the ground, but it was already at its last gasp.

"Furball, use Illusion Ray quickly!" Aya hurriedly commanded.

Scizor used Shadow Clone again, and the Pokémon's Illusion Beam missed. Scizor charged at the Pokémon again, ready to deliver the final blow.

However, at this critical moment, a ball of lightning arrived next to Scizor.

"Get out of the way!" Xiao Mao shouted immediately.

boom! !

The lightning ball exploded on its own, instantly filling the room with smoke.

A critical voice came from within the smoke.

"Aya, you are so immature."

Upon hearing the sound, Aya turned around and saw the person behind her. She immediately knelt down on one knee and admitted her mistake, saying, "Brother, I was careless."

Shigeru and Sabrina recognized the newcomer as none other than the true leader of the Crimson Gym, Kiku.

"Scizor, are you alright?" Xiao Shi looked at Scizor. The power of the self-destruct was not low. Even if Scizor's physical defense was high enough, it would still suffer considerable damage.

"twitter!"

The scyther nodded, indicating that it was fine; it had only suffered some impact and was not seriously injured.

“Next, you must fight me before you can leave this room,” Ah Ju said.

Xiao Mao immediately felt annoyed.

You suddenly dropped a bombshell, and instead of apologizing, you insist on a duel before you can leave.

Even champions don't have that kind of privilege, and you, a mere gym owner, are really acting like you're above the law.

"Who are you?" Xiao Mao asked.

"I am A-Ju, the leader of the Crimson Gym."

"Since you're a gym leader, don't you know it's impolite to interfere with other people's duels?" Gary questioned.

A-Ju was taken aback, not expecting Xiao-Mao to act unpredictably and actually question her.

But experience is the best teacher, and an old hand can't be fooled by a child.

“I am the true Gym Leader of Fuchsia Gym. My sister is impersonating me. Even if you win, you won’t get my family’s Gym Badge. I’m right to stop you,” said Aju.

"Who told you I battled her for the gym badge?" Gary said.

A-Ju suddenly froze.

At the same time, he looked at his younger sister.

Aya lowered her head, embarrassed to say that her battle with Ash was a wager, and had nothing to do with gym battles.

"Then why did you two have a Pokémon battle?" A-Ju asked.

“It’s a bet between us. If I win, she’ll give me the Poison Strike skill manual. If I lose, I’ll give her the Oddity Ring I caught earlier,” Xiao Mao said.

Aju had a headache. He hadn't expected Aya to go and gamble with someone. You know, there are three things that trainee ninjas are forbidden from doing, and gambling is one of them.

Betting between trainers is allowed, but many trainers have lost everything because of it.

“Aya, if you lose, you have to hand over the skill manual,” Aju said.

"Yes."

Aya walked up to Xiaomao, handed him the skill manual, and walked back to Aju's side without looking back.

Aya's heart was bleeding. Skill Secret Realm items are very precious, and Aya had spent a lot of money to get the Poison Strike Manual.

"Alright, you can leave now," A-Ju said, dismissing them.

[Ding! Obtained the Fuchsia Gym Badge / Rewards: 10 Intermediate Rare Candies, a permanent TM for Sludge Bomb, and 1 Superior Poison Needle (increases the power of Poison-type moves by 50%)]

After putting away the skill manual, Xiao Shi said, "Gym Leader A-Ju, the gym battle is next. I want to challenge you."

Aju frowned.

That Shigeru is really dishonest. He clearly came to challenge the gym, but he started by having a bet with his sister. Not only did he get the skill book, but he also wanted the gym badge. He's so greedy.

"How about a 2-on-2 match?" Ah Ju said.

"no problem."

Xiao Mao nodded in agreement.

"Then let's get started."

Without saying a word, Aju casually tossed out a Poké Ball.

Baton!

A fluffy ball appeared, but Aju's fluffy ball was much more powerful than Aya's.

【LV35 Pom-Pom♂/King】.

Chapter 80: Crossbat

Not only is Aju's Pokémon high-level, but its potential is also extraordinary, reaching Elite Four level. It can be confirmed that this Pokémon is a new Pokémon that Aju has recently bred.

"Alakazam, I choose you!"

Gary threw out a Poké Ball. This time, he hadn't just gotten Scizor from Professor Oak; after all, Fuchsia City was a Poison-type Gym, so he needed to prepare in advance.

"It's Alakazam!" A-Ju could tell that Gary had made preparations for challenging the gym.

Alakazam, use Illusion Beam!

"We use phantom rays too!"

Both sides issued the same command in unison.

"Chirp!"

The furball's scarlet compound eyes emitted illusory rays.

Alakazam also used Psychic Beam, just like everyone else.

Two pink beams of light clashed in mid-air, remaining locked in a stalemate for only a few seconds before Alakazam's Psychic Beam shattered Boogle's Psychic Beam and struck Boogle's hand.

The Poisonous Furball can naturally deal double the damage with its Illusion Ray, making it exceptionally effective.

A-Ju pouted.

It's a bit of a stretch to have a Poison-type Pokémon clash with a Psychic-type Pokémon using Psychic-type moves.

"Maoqiu, use the insect chirping!" Ah Ju naturally also knew how to deal with law enforcement.

"Chirp!!"

The furball immediately emitted a piercing screech, its energy transforming into sound waves that spread outwards.

"Strong mental thoughts!"

Alakazam unleashed his powerful Nen, unleashing an even stronger burst of Nen energy, which Pokémon used to attack, resulting in both sides exchanging injuries.

Bang! !

The ground beneath the furball shattered, its eyes lost their luster, and it collapsed.

Alakazam carries an extremely curved spoon, so even if Ajum's Pokémon has high potential, it can't withstand Alakazam's psychic power.

However, if this furball were to evolve into Morpho, Alakazam wouldn't be able to defeat it so easily.

"Even my brother's fur ball lost," Aya thought to herself.

Aya and Aju were bred around the same time, but Aya has never defeated Aju's furball.

A-Ju remained calm, returned the Pokémon to its Poké Ball, and then sent out a second Pokémon.

Baton!

A large-mouthed bat makes its appearance.

【LV30 Zubat ♂/Elite Four】

Xiao Mao realized that A-Ju wasn't really taking the battle seriously; the Pokémon he sent out were all newly bred ones.

One drawback of Poison-type Pokémon is their relatively short lifespan. Therefore, once A-Ju has formed her main team, she needs to immediately cultivate a backup team.

These fluffy balls and giant bats are probably Pokémon that Aju raised herself.

Xiao Mao felt that A-Ju wasn't really worth the challenge. The Pokémon had a certain level, but their strength was too ordinary. He guessed that both Pokémon were still being tested by A-Ju.

"Hu Di, use your mental strength to focus your thoughts," Xiao Mao commanded.

"Shadow clone."

Zubat immediately released Shadow Clone Jutsu to confuse Alakazam.

"Use a freeze spell."

Hudi immediately cast a spell to immobilize the creature, spreading the sealing power outwards. Any of the giant bat clones that touched it vanished.

"Wing attack!" Seeing this, A-Ju had no choice but to change the command.

The Zubat rushed towards Alakazam, but just as it was about to swing its wings to attack, its body froze in mid-air.

Alakazam swung the spoon, sending the Zubat flying backward and crashing into the wall outside the arena. The Zubat's eyes rolled back in its head from the impact.

"Psychic!" Shigeru didn't give it a chance. Alakazam unleashed a powerful burst of psychic energy, striking Zubat and defeating it.

At this point, both of A-Ju's Pokémon were unable to battle.

"I lost, this pink badge is yours." After the battle, A-Ju handed her gym badge to Gary.

"Thank you!"

Xiao Mao thanked him and accepted the badge.

[Ding! Mission complete. Rewards have been sent to your inventory.]

This trip to challenge the Fuchsia Gym was a great success.
