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

Unexpectedly, the scoundrel still lost its ability to fight. Was it because of the aftershocks?

Could this also be part of your plan, Master Lu Yuan?

Xiao Gang murmured to himself.

After unleashing its attack, Riolu could no longer support its body and fell from the sky.

Is it burned out already...?

Riolu thought to himself with annoyance.

If you run out of energy after using your skills in the wild, what's the difference between that and suicide?

"Catch it, Chansey." Seeing Riolu about to land, Lu Yuan quickly threw out a Poké Ball.

White light suddenly appeared.

A giant pink egg landed on the field, and short hands caught Riolu as it fell steadily.

"lucky~"

Chansey let out a soft cry.

A soft light emanated from his hand.

Healing Wave: Emits a healing wave, restoring half of the opponent's maximum HP.

"Oh my gosh~"

Riolu let out a comfortable cry as it was enveloped in soft light.

If I had a way to recover during the battle, would I not be in such a sorry state?

Thinking about this, Riolu began to consider which skills he hadn't yet learned in his skill pool.

Drop of life!

Okay, it's decided. My next goal is to learn how to use and master the Water Droplet of Life!

After finishing the battle with Xiaogang.

In the exit corridor, Xiao Gang called out to Lu Yuan.

"Wait, Lu Yuan!"

Lu Yuan turned around and saw Xiao Gang running towards him. Thinking that Xiao Gang was about to have a no-holds-barred battle with him, he took the initiative and threw a Poké Ball.

"Chicago, throw on Earth!"

"lucky~"

Fortunately, Xiao Gang successfully dodged using high-speed movement.

As for why Xiaogang could move at such a high speed...

Spending so much time with Ash, he must have learned at least a few tricks.

Realizing that Xiao Gang wasn't there to challenge him to a no-holds-barred brawl, Lu Yuan said sheepishly, "Sorry, it's just a habit."

As the most popular gym leader in Sinnoh right now, there are always a few irrational idiots who suddenly pop up and want to have a no-rules brawl with me.

It's the kind of situation where they don't tell you beforehand.

Damn it, Lu Yuan had developed muscle memory for seeing people running towards him.

"I understand, I understand," Xiao Gang chuckled dryly.

After all, if you continue with your fighting style, it's only a matter of time before you get ambushed.

“I spoke with Xiaoxia on the phone yesterday and heard that her sister had been distributing badges indiscriminately again.”

As he spoke, Xiao Gang pulled a small, exquisite badge out of his pocket.

"This is the badge of the Pewter Gym. Please accept it."

Looking at the octagonal gray badge in my hand.

The system emitted a long-lost notification sound.

[Ding! System task updated!]

【Badge Collection (2/8)】

Lu Yuan: ? ? ?

Seeing Lu Yuan's questioning look, Xiao Gang explained, "I figured since you've already got a badge, you might want to participate in the Quartz Conference sooner or later, so I thought I might as well give it to you sooner."

Do I really like making baby cups that much?

Although it's fun to beat up newbies, there's a constant stream of newbies coming to the dojo for me to beat up, so why should I go to the Indigo League to beat up newbies?

The Quartz Convention starts at the end of January, and it's only the beginning of January now. Do you think I can collect the remaining six badges within a month?

Lu Yuan thought to himself.

However, I still accepted the badge. Why not take it? After all, I was quite curious about these things when I was a kid, and this made up for a regret from my childhood.

Then, Xiao Gang went to the Pokémon Center to treat his Feraligatr and ran off without saying anything more to Lu Yuan.

Just as Lu Yuan took a few more steps forward into the passage, he was stopped by someone else.

This is an old man with gray hair and eyebrows that cascade down like a waterfall.

Lu Yuan recognized the man as Korni's grandfather, the inheritor of Mega Evolution in the Carlos region.

What could he possibly want from me?

We don't know each other.

Cocoble slowly approached Lu Yuan, then suddenly rushed forward.

Although he was old, he was indeed very healthy, much better than his dead father, who was only in his early forties and already had many physical limitations.

However... seeing Cocoble rapidly approaching him without stopping, Lu Yuan suddenly felt a strong sense of unease.

Under Lu Yuan's shocked gaze, Coco Bulb suddenly threw a punch, which came straight at Lu Yuan's face with a sharp whistling sound.

It was only then that Lu Yuanfang seemed to wake up from a dream and fully realized what was happening.

Good grief, it's an unruly brawl from the moment we meet!

But we don't know each other! Or is this how your older generation greets each other?

Chapter 113 The Qualification for Super Evolution

Faced with the charging Cocoble, Lu Yuan took two and a half seconds to finally take action.

"Chicago, save me!"

"lucky~"

Upon hearing the shout, Chansey in the distance stirred.

With a dazzling white light, Chansey's figure vanished from its spot in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, when it reappeared, it was already firmly blocking Lu Yuan's way.

Teleport!

Just as Chansey appeared, Cocoabur's fist landed squarely on its face.

"boom--"

"Lucky~~"

A blush quickly crept onto Jili Egg's pink face.

"so hard……"

Coco looked at the fist she had just thrown and couldn't help but mutter to herself.

He clearly underestimated Chansey's tankiness.

However, Cocoble was a seasoned veteran after all. After a brief moment of astonishment, he quickly regained his senses and turned to look behind him.

He was shocked when he saw it.

Riolu appeared behind him without him noticing.

The blue orb in his hand was poised to be released.

Wave missile!

Upon seeing the wave missile, Coco instinctively adjusted his posture, preparing to use combat skills to deflect the attack.

But while he was focused on dealing with Riolu's threat, he completely ignored Chansey behind him.

"lucky~"

Chansey let out a soft cry, then gently raised its little paws and cradled Cocoa in its arms.

Then came the leap upwards...

Cast on earth!
