Elf: No, it's because he was made the gym leader!

The shout was full of provocation and taunt, which made Patchlitz, who was originally preparing to use "Look at me" to attract his opponent's attention, freeze in shock.

At that moment, a dark shadow rushed out like lightning, so fast that it was almost impossible to see its figure.

It was Weavile. In the blink of an eye, it had rushed in front of Chansey, its sharp claws gleaming with a cold light, and it mercilessly slammed down on Chansey.

Chansey was clearly hurt by the attack, and its Evolution Stone inexplicably fell out of its pocket.

Strangely, unlike other Pokémon, it didn't cry out in pain. Instead, Chansey's round face showed a hint of excitement.

Knock Off, a Dark-type move that deals 1.5 times more damage if the opponent is holding an item.

To be fair, Shinji is quite capable; he was able to find Chansey's weakness so quickly.

But what kind of expression does Chansey have?

SM?

Probably not. I've never heard Xiaoxue mention that Chansey has this kind of fetish.

"Secret attack on key points!"

"Hold on!"

The two shouted almost simultaneously.

If a close-range sneak attack hits a vital spot, it will definitely strike a vital spot. While it may not take Chansey out in one shot, it will certainly give Chansey a hard time.

However, the crucial sneak attack that could have turned the tide of the battle was successfully blocked by the defenders.

“Patchlitz, Angry Fangs!” Lu Yuan shouted.

"Dark Raven, stop it!"

In an instant, the atmosphere on the field became increasingly tense. Both the Pokémon and the trainers were on edge, afraid of making a mistake.

"Okay, that's it!"

A voice interrupted them as they were engrossed in their battle.

The sudden shout instantly shattered the tense atmosphere on the field, and the two instinctively turned around at the same time.

It's Officer Jenny.

Like the Joeys, they belong to two major families within the Alliance.

The members of these two families are very similar in appearance, but there is a difference: most of the Joeys are elven doctors, while Officer Jenny is a police officer in the elven world.

"I'm sorry to have interrupted your duel, but if you're trying to subdue this Scorpion King, I'm afraid it won't work."

"Why!"*2

Lu Yuan and Shinji shouted at the same time.

Officer Jenny walked over to the Scorpion King, took out a bottle of wound medicine from her pocket, and sprayed it on the Scorpion King's injured area. After the wound gradually improved, she looked up and explained.

"This Scorpion King is the leader of all the scorpions. Most of the scorpions in the town were attracted by this Scorpion King."

Officer Jenny paused for a moment, then continued.

"The Scorpion King and the scorpions fly on the wind, and when they fly, they emit a special kind of electromagnetic wave that can attract their own kind."

Just a week ago, because the Scorpion King broke into the town for no reason, a large number of Scorpions from the surrounding area also poured in.

But the wind in this town is peculiar; it's easy to get in but difficult to get out, so the Scorpion King and the scorpions are forced to stay in the town.

As time went by, the Scorpios gradually adapted to the town's environment and began to regard it as their own territory.

In the world of elves, status within a group is entirely determined by strength.

Without the Scorpion King to check and balance things, the clan would inevitably be embroiled in conflict over leadership.

If they were to fight each other in the town over the election of a leader, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Although the League has not explicitly stated which Pokémon are prohibited from being captured by humans.

However, when it comes to elves that directly affect the safety of the town or the interests of the people, Officer Jenny has the right to intervene.

"So, in other words, we can subdue this Scorpion King as long as we solve the problems with the Scorpions, right?"

Lu Yuan smiled.

"Huh?" Officer Jenny was a little surprised, not expecting Lu Yuan to come up with a solution so quickly.

“That’s right, if you can really handle those Scorpions.” Officer Jenny nodded and answered truthfully.

At this moment, Lu Yuan slightly raised the corners of his mouth and said with a smile, "Then I'll take them all."

"What?"

Junsha was startled.

They seemed unable to believe their ears—they wanted them all?

What does that mean? Could it be referring to Scorpio?

How could that be? I must have misheard.

Standing to the side, Qiao Yixue appeared quite calm, as if she had long anticipated that Lu Yuan would say these words.

Lu Yuan spoke again, this time speaking carefully, as if afraid that others might not have heard him clearly: "I mean, I, Lu Yuan, want all of those Scorpions."

These words were obviously meant for Shinji, but Shinji's face remained expressionless, still as indifferent as ever.

On the contrary, Officer Jenny was the one who was easily startled.

You mean all of them!

"Don't joke around, that group of scorpions is no small number, there must be at least a hundred!"

Officer Jenny emphasized, "With over a hundred Scorpions, each one would cost six or seven thousand a month, which adds up to at least a million a month!"

Not only that, these scorpions are also extremely mischievous and could cause all sorts of trouble. Even the wealthy merchants in town are unwilling to be taken advantage of by spending so much money to support them every month.

After all, money doesn't grow on trees.

"one million!"

Lu Yuan was shocked.

"so cheap!"

Officer Jenny: "..."

Damn rich people.

A little over a million is indeed cheap for Lu Yuan. Not to mention the league's subsidies, the orchard in the dojo's backyard alone is enough to feed the Scorpions.

Moreover, this is not a bad deal. Both Scorpion and Scorpion King are quite strong and can add a lot of fighting power to the dojo.

“No, you wouldn’t happen to be a poacher, would you?” Officer Jenny’s eyes sharpened as she realized something.

During this period, poachers seem unusually active, and they have also learned to disguise themselves, becoming increasingly cunning.

Looking at Lu Yuan's seemingly harmless appearance, the more he looked, the more suspicious he became.

Faced with Officer Jenny's questioning, Lu Yuan quickly tried to prove his innocence.

"The Gym Leader of Wutong Town?"

Officer Jenny frowned slightly, lost in thought for a moment.

This name sounds familiar, but where have I heard it before?

After a while, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she said as if she had just realized something, "Oh! I remember now, it's the Cerulean Gym that was rated as the best in Sinnoh! It even trended on social media a while ago."

Lu Yuan: "......"

No, when I get back, I must make the dojo a great success!

Otherwise, in a while, Wutong Dojo will really replace Hualan Dojo as the new unit of measurement.

"If you are a dojo owner, you just need to register."

The League offers many benefits to Gym Leaders, one of which is that there is no longer a limit to the number of Pokémon they can catch!

It's important to know that ordinary people usually only raise a dozen or so Pokémon at most.

The reason for this regulation is mainly because allowing the general public to have too much control over Pokémon could lead to social instability.

However, gym leaders who are deeply trusted by the League are not subject to such restrictions at all.

In a sense, the dojos in the town are mobile arsenals.

No wonder he dared to adopt so many scorpions, Officer Jenny breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Master Lu."

Lu Yuan walked up to Scorpion King, took out an empty deluxe ball from his waist, and turned his gaze to Shinji: "Then I suppose this one has no objections either."

In response to Lu Yuan's question, Shinji simply snorted coldly and did not give any reply.

"Come back, Weavile, Murkrow." With two flashes of red light, Shinji returned the two Pokémon to their respective Poké Balls and turned away without hesitation, as if everything behind him was irrelevant to him, and he didn't even bother to look at Lu Yuan again.

Gorgon was an indispensable main force in Shinji's original plan, but given the current situation, it seems he will have to adjust his team composition when he returns.

With this thought in mind, Shinji's eyes hardened.

"Wutong Taekwondo Academy...?"
