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

The middle-aged man with a full beard and a beer belly was furious when he saw his powerful crocodile fall down so inexplicably. He cursed loudly.

Where is the fighting spirit? Where is the thrill of every punch landing? Young lady, you have no martial ethics!

Ah Li left the scene with his eyes closed, ignoring the surrounding noise.

When she opened her eyes again, her previously confused look was instantly replaced by a resolute expression.

At this moment, she had completely shed her previous shyness and embarrassment, as if she had been reborn.

“A duel is a duel!” Ah Li muttered to himself. “On the battlefield, there is only victory and defeat, nothing else. Master Lu Yuan, I am finally beginning to understand what you are saying.”

Just as Ah Li was lost in his thoughts, a figure rushed over like a gust of wind.

It was Korny. She smiled broadly and said breathlessly:

"Congratulations, Ah Li! I just rushed back from outside and heard the referee announce your victory! I'm so happy for you!"

Although she didn't understand what the people around her were saying, as Ah Li's good friend, she always chose to stand by Ah Li's side without hesitation.

"By the way, Ah Li, isn't the next contestant Lu Yuan, the head of the academy?" Korni said.

“Yes,” Ah Li replied.

“Actually, I’m quite curious about how Poison-type Gym Leaders battle each other; I’ve hardly ever seen it before,” Korney said with a smile.

Ah Li: "..."

You might see it if you arrive two minutes earlier.

ten minutes later.

Lu Yuan stepped onto the competition field, while on the other side stood a handsome man named Lu Ye.

As soon as he appeared, the women around him erupted in a series of sharp screams.

Lu Ye, an opponent Lu Yuan encountered in the Little Phoenix Cup, is a celebrity.

However, it seems he has transformed now, going from a pretty face to a fighting star.

The internet says he's a rising star in the fighting world, but it's obvious that those are just hype from his brainless fans.

"Ah Li, it seems like Master Lu Yuan's opponent is quite famous?" Korni said to Ah Li, who was standing next to him.

But it wasn't Ah Li who answered her.

"It's all just fancy footwork."

Korni glanced back and saw the dark-skinned girl who had defeated the monstrous strength with her bare hands calling out, "Ayaka!"

Cai Dou nodded slightly in acknowledgment, then continued to focus her attention on the field.

Facing this familiar face, Lu Yuan smiled and tossed the Poké Ball in his hand: "Go, Chansey."

White light suddenly appeared.

A giant pink egg appeared in the arena.

It called out sweetly to the giant mantis in front of it, "Lucky~"

The mantis's legs trembled uncontrollably upon hearing its voice.

Lu Yuan was also speechless.

Others might not understand Chansey's words, but Lu Yuan, who possesses the power of Viridian, can.

The meaning of that sentence, translated, is "I hope you can give me a good time this time."

Hmm... how should I put it, it's hard to give a proper evaluation.

"A Normal-type Chansey?" Korne asked, puzzled.

The Pokémon sent by Gym Leader Lu Yuan was not only not Fighting-type, but also Chansey, which was extremely bad at fighting.

Bea also looked bewildered. If it wasn't Riolu, then...

Of the three, perhaps only Ah Lee understood what Chansey meant to Scizor, but she simply wouldn't say it.

Lu Ye's fear of Scizor triggered an unpleasant memory, but he still suppressed his discomfort and comforted it, "Scizor, don't be afraid. Chansey is just a Normal-type Pokémon after all. Use Close Combat to defeat it!"

The scythe also thought it made sense.

I was careless last time, but after two months of hard training...

I have been completely transformed!

Thinking of this, a resolute look flashed in Scizor's eyes, and its body transformed into a streak of crimson lightning, rushing toward Chansey at an astonishing speed.

At the same time, its large pincers swung continuously, creating gusts of sharp wind that swept past, leaving a series of dense afterimages in the air.

Close combat!

It works exceptionally well against Normal-type Pokémon!

But Chansey just patted the nutrient egg on its belly and smiled gently.

"lucky~"

Is the warm-up over?

If this is over, it'll be my turn.

Having said that, a ball of flame gathered from his short fists.

Chapter 109 I've loved watching women fight since I was a child

Fire Punch, Thunder Punch, and Ice Punch – these three moves are basically something any Pokémon with hands can learn.

In battle, it is often used to cover weaknesses and target Pokémon with four times the weaknesses.

But while it's a well-known fact that Scizor is 4x weak to Fire, Chansey's Attack stat is only 5.

What can you do with a base Attack stat of 5?

Just as Korni was thinking this...

"Bear!"

The dazzling crimson flames resembled a ferocious beast pouncing on the mantis.

In an instant, the raging flames dyed most of the scyther's body red.

"Bear!"

Then Chansey threw another punch.

An unimaginable force sent the scyther flying.

It was embedded in the wall in a very disheveled manner.

There was silence.

Chansey defeated Scizor with two punches, and everyone tried to accept this fact.

Is this still the harmless Chansey from the Pokémon Center?

Korni shook Ah Lee's arm and said, "Ah Lee, did you see that? Instant kill! Chansey actually killed Scizor in an instant!"

Before this, she never even dared to imagine that Chansey could fight!

Ah Li, on the other hand, had already seen the world and remained quite calm.

She glanced at Lu Ye, who looked like he'd just eaten a pound of plum juice, and his manager in the stands, wearing black-rimmed glasses and a black suit, and said:

"All I saw was a desperate star and a desperate agent."

"Beauty, did you see that Chansey instantly killed Scizor?" Korne turned to look at Beauty beside her.

However, Cai Dou analyzed with a serious expression: "Hmm, that's not surprising. Chansey's punching technique is very skillful, it's obviously the result of years of practice. Hmm... that reminds me of the former Galar Champion, Masted."

At this point, Cai Dou paused slightly: "Senior Ma Shide had a powerful Combo-style martial arts bear master who emphasized continuous attacks like a flowing river. This Chansey's fist technique may have a similar principle."

Then Cai Dou thought of Lu Yuan's Riolu: "As for Riolu, it is like the one-hit-kill style of Urshifu."

Cai Dou became more and more excited as she spoke, completely oblivious to Korni beside her who was staring in disbelief, and continued to talk on and on:

"Does he master both the combo style and the one-hit style of fighting? Perhaps Master Lu Yuan is not only a tactical master but also a fighting master."

"Oh, is that so?"

Listening to Cai Dou's analysis, Korni awkwardly spoke up.

So I'm the only one who seems like I've never seen the world before!

Seeing Lu Yuan come down from the competition field, Korni said with a bright smile, "Congratulations, Master Lu Yuan."

Cai Dou clasped her hands in a fist and bowed, saying, "Congratulations."

That's really polite!

Lu Yuan thought to himself.

Together with three fighting-themed girls, Lu Yuan watched the next few matches.

Bear in a suit VS. Long-eared rabbit.
