I'm in Pokémon, but the system is Stardew Valley.

The guard hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "Then please be careful."

After saying that, the guard rode his goat and carried Fang Xiaolu toward the towering tree in the distance.

Fang Gu looked at the two Pokémon beside him, pondered for a moment, and then threw out the last Poké Ball from his waist.

"Bah."

A flash of red light, and the little sheep mount appeared in front of Fang Gu.

Fang Gu patted the horns of his little lamb mount, "In that case, let the little lamb mount join us too."

"Target: Wings Dojo! Let's go!"

"Woo!"

"Dah!"

"What?"

Seeing the Bulbasaur charging forward, Riolu, Fang Gu, and their mount Eyjafjalla were slightly taken aback before also rushing forward.

Don't abandon the lamb!

…………

The Biyi Dojo is situated on a towering tree that seems to have been rooted there since ancient times.

More than ten years ago, after being renovated by Master Fu, it became the base of the Biyi Dojo.

Last time I came, Fang Gu rode a goat directly to the location of the Bi Yi Dojo, so he didn't have a direct sense of the size of this big tree.

Now, the three Pokémon in the group swallowed hard as they looked at the huge tree in front of them, whose canopy was big enough to block out the sky.

Can we really climb such a tall tree?

Fang Gu glanced at the rope leading upwards and gritted his teeth. "We're already here, what's wrong with climbing it once!"

Master Fu has set up many ropes on the towering tree for challengers to climb, but there are also some wrong options among them.

The maze is an essential part of challenging gyms.

However, what terrified Fang Gu the most was that, like Tarzan, he could use vines to jump from one platform to another.

After an hour of trial and error, Fang Gu and his three Pokémon finally arrived at the entrance of the Twins Gym, albeit shakily.

With a smile on his face, Master Fu had already been waiting for a long time at the entrance of the Biyi Dojo with his hands behind his back.

"Grandpa Afu, I'm sorry."

"Huff...we're a little lost."

Fang Gu said, panting.

"Challenger, don't be in such a hurry to get close to me."

With a childlike smile on his face, Master Fu had a guard hand Fang Gu a bowl of clear, bright tea.

Just by smelling the aroma, Fang Gu felt extremely relaxed, both physically and mentally.

"Young man, drink this bowl of calming tea and begin today's dojo challenge."

Master Fu put his hands behind his back and walked towards the arena of the dojo.

Fang Gu was taken aback. Why was the dojo challenge starting all of a sudden? And this calming tea was clearly something I had sent him.

"Woo!"

"Dah!"

"Bah!"

Looking at the eager expressions of the Pokémon around him, Fang Gu reluctantly drank the calming tea in his hand.

I never intended to become a trainer!

After drinking the warm tea, Fang Gu felt as if a gentle stream flowed from his throat into his stomach. With his eyes closed and his mind focused, Fang Gu could more clearly sense the aura of the Pokémon around him.

Fang Gu opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing in them.

"I'm ready."

Fang Gu slowly walked into the battle arena with his three Pokémon, and then recalled them with Poké Balls.

Is it a battle? Or is it just the cool way of throwing the ball?

"Are the challengers ready?"

Mr. Shou, who was acting as the referee, asked Fang Gu a question, while Fang Xiaolu sat on the sidelines holding Miao Miao, looking nervous.

Fang Gu nodded slightly. "I'm ready."

"Next up is Fang Gu from Crescent Town to challenge Fu Ye, the Gym Leader of the Twins City Gym. Both sides can use three Pokémon. The challenger can switch Pokémon, but the Gym Leader cannot. The match ends when one side's Pokémon are all unable to battle first."

"Now the game begins!"

Chapter 137 Victory in the first battle

Fang Gu looked at Master Fu on the battlefield opposite him. Master Fu was wearing a dark green top with brown suspenders.

He held the scissors he had cherished for thirty years as his crutch.

Beneath the green beret, the kind smile was gone; his eyes narrowed, ready to meet Fang Gu's challenge at any moment.

Fang Xiaolu below couldn't help but complain, "Grandpa Afu, you look different than usual. Is it because your brother is late?"

Shizuka, a dojo apprentice who was also observing and learning nearby, smiled and chatted with Fang Xiaolu: "That's not necessarily true. When it comes to a match, Master Fu is always very serious. He is known as an old tree in the world of fighting that is still blooming."

"Isn't Grandpa Afu very powerful, brother...?"

Fang Xiaolu frowned. Who should she cheer for?!

…………

On the battlefield, Fu took out a Poké Ball from his pocket, and like in a formal gym battle, he began the pre-battle dialogue.

"How about it?"

"Is the amusement park I built with those strong plants amazing?"

"Their power symbolizes my strength as both a gardener and a gym leader. Are you sure you can contend with them?"

Fang Gu replied with “…”.

This caused Grandpa Fu to cough awkwardly.

"Everyone is saying that the Carlos Alliance should get rid of this unnecessary step, it's really shameful."

Fang Gu looked incredulous; Fu Ye's expression just now didn't seem to suggest that.

"In short, this is the first partner we've sent out!"

Seeing this, Fang Gu also turned to the side and used the power of twisting his waist to throw the ball in his hand.

A flash of red light.

Two Pokémon appeared on the battlefield.

One of them is Fu Ye's mouth-shaped flower.

Bellsprout is a Pokémon that evolves from Trumpet Bud. It looks like a pitcher plant's "cage". It is yellow all over, with two sharp leaves on the sides of its body and a hook at the end of its tail.

Fu Ye's mouth-shaped flower possesses a dissolving liquid that can melt anything, and can also use its sharp leaves to split everything in two.

It's a great helper for creating dojo mechanisms.

Fang Gu sent out a Bulbasaur.

"Dah!"

Bulbasaur has been reluctant to stay in a Poké Ball since its Bulbasaur stage. This time, it was captured by Fang Gu without any prior consultation, which shows its strong condemnation of Fang Gu.

"Bulbasaur! You've evolved from Bulbasaur? That's amazing!"

Seeing that Bulbasaur had regained its kind expression, Fu-ye across from him smiled and praised it.

Just as Bulbasaur was about to respond, it saw Fu Ye's eyes narrow and its gaze instantly become sharp.

"The pleasantries are over."

"Pocket Flower, use the dissolving solution!"

The mouth-dazed flower's pouty lips twitched, and a stream of yellow acidic liquid with a strong odor sprayed out of its mouth.

The target is Bulbasaur.

Even Master Fu has resorted to sneak attacks.

Fang Gu's expression changed, and he focused his vision and mind entirely on the battlefield, calmly ordering, "Bulbasaur, get out of the way!"

Bulbasaur leaped up quickly, and its acid liquid fell to the ground, corroding a large pit in the ground.

Fang Gu frowned. Both Bulbasaur and Venusaur are Grass/Poison type Pokémon.

Both sides' Grass-type attacks have a fourfold resistance against each other.

However, Foolbloom's moveset is more versatile than Bulbasaur's, and it can learn more poison-type moves.

Poison-attribute moves deal double damage to both.

Bulbasaur is somewhat lacking in this regard.

However, Bulbasaur also has a hidden killer move of another type.

"Bulbasaur, start with the sweet scent."

"Dana."

The flower buds on Bulbasaur's back opened slightly, and a strong, fragrant aroma enveloped the battlefield.

Fang Gu held his breath, trying to prevent the sweet aroma from interfering with his commands.

Meanwhile, in the arena, the expression on Kouweiye's face became noticeably dazed.

Under the influence of the sweet aroma, the mouth-shaped flower's ability to dodge is greatly reduced.

"In that case, let's use Leaf Blade, you silly flower!"
