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

?

Why is Koji here? He shouldn't be here with his abilities.

Oh, so his opponent forfeited because he didn't show up. What a lucky kid.

"Brother Lu!"

A very familiar voice suddenly came from behind him. Lu Yuan turned around and saw that it was Xiao Zhi.

Standing on either side of him were Xiao Gang and Xiao Guang, who was holding Bojiaman.

Pikachu was carrying a bottle of ketchup, and the group looked like they had just finished eating.

"I heard from Xiaogang that Brother Lu also successfully advanced," Xiaozhi greeted him.

"So, Xiao Zhi, you've advanced too," Lu Yuan said.

Ash laughed and said, "Yes, Chimchar is lucky that it evolved during the battle!"

As he spoke, he threw out a Poké Ball.

A wild-looking, bright orange monkey with a tail flaming with intense flames appeared before the crowd.

Infernape!

If Lu Yuan remembers correctly, Ash's opponents in the last round were Fantawild and Forsaken.

After years of honing its skills, did it still lose to Infernape, which evolved during battle?

"Look at the screen!" Xiao Guang suddenly shouted, pointing at the screen.

Several people looked back.

At the bottom of the screen, Lu Yuan saw his own name.

Lu Yuan VS Xiao Zhi.

"Since it's a battle against Gym Leader Lu Yuan!" Ash suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "Alright! I won't lose this time!"

Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment.

Something seems wrong.

When exactly did I ever fight you?!

"Yeah, I'm looking forward to it." Lu Yuan coughed lightly.

It's another fight with the main characters, and it's against the younger version of the senior brother. I hope he doesn't suddenly unleash his full power or something!

The more I think about it, the more likely it is.

We need to think carefully about how to deal with this.

The next day, early in the morning.

Gastly dragged Lu Yuan to the Pokémon Center's restaurant early in the morning.

"Swoosh!"

Look, it's a buffet! A buffet! You can eat your fill all at once.

"You're so spineless, making such a fuss. If others hear this, they'll think I've never taken you out to eat!" Lu Yuan scolded.

Gastly poked its little hand, looking aggrieved.

"Swoosh!"

Doesn't this mean our family goes bankrupt?

Every little bit helps, and I can even pack my four-dimensional items together.

!

These words instantly jolted Lu Yuan awake. He looked at Gastly in disbelief: "Are you really a genius?"

How could you even think of that!

Reading really can increase intelligence!

Hehehe (

?▽`

)ノ”

Gastly, puffed out its chest proudly after being praised by Lu Yuan, and chuckled.

We can also pack some to bring back for Patchlitz.

When Patchlitz heard that Lu Yuan had gone bankrupt, he was disdainful. How could such a large fortune just vanish like that? It must be a lie Lu Yuan made up to trick him into eating less.

But when it saw that the warehouse in the backyard was almost emptied, its world collapsed at that moment.

It completely collapsed, and even my appetite shrank considerably.

Pachirisu is still in the gym, completely frozen in place.

At this moment, Gastly is still thinking of Patchletz. It really shows that true friendship is revealed in times of trouble!

Lu Yuan felt a sense of relief.

Then, to everyone's astonishment, Gastly poured a large plate of tomato pasta into its mouth.

Lu Yuan: "..."

Oh, I forgot, Gastly's four-dimensional pocket is in its stomach, which means if you want to take something out, you'd have to reach inside with your hand, or vomit...

The thought of this sent turmoil through Lu Yuan's heart.

Thankfully, it wasn't me who ate it.

But now, looking at the pasta on the plate, Lu Yuan just couldn't bring himself to eat it.

"Master, Master."

Cai Dou, who was about to have breakfast at the restaurant, greeted Lu Yuan awkwardly when she saw him.

Beside her were two other fighting-type girls, Ali and Korni.

These three seem to have been spending a lot of time together these past two days. Have their relationships become that good?

"Good morning," Lu Yuan greeted. "Actually, there's no need to be so formal. Just call me by my name."

I only taught Cai Dou a few tactics last night, so calling me a master is too much of an exaggeration.

“No.” Cai Dou shook her head firmly and replied, “This is basic courtesy.”

Seeing Cai Dou's insistence, Lu Yuan sighed helplessly and said, "Oh well, call me whatever you want."

What tedious etiquette!

Just then, Korni, who was about to pick up some food, suddenly pointed at Gastly in front of her and said to Lu Yuan in some shock, "Um... Master Lu Yuan, does Gastly usually have such a big appetite?"

It's even bigger than her appetite after training!

Upon hearing Korni's shout, Lu Yuan looked at the food selection area ahead and immediately felt a wave of exasperation.

Gastly opened its mouth wide and dumped a whole basket of steaming hot buns into its mouth.

And around it, there was a large pile of empty plates lying haphazardly.

"Ghost? What Ghost? It's so unlucky to talk about ghosts so early in the morning," Lu Yuan said through gritted teeth.

Korni: ?

Finally, Gastly stopped what it was doing only after Lu Yuan stopped it.

If we let it "eat" any more, we might get into trouble with the fighters who come for breakfast.

During breakfast, Gastly, who had been scolded, floated to the side looking aggrieved.

Seeing this, Cai Dou took out an exquisite wooden box from her bag and said, "Master, this is the gift I prepared for your apprenticeship."

Looking at the wooden box wrapped in high-grade logs in front of him, Lu Yuan silently took back what he had just said.

Who says these etiquette rules are complicated? They're fantastic!

Lu Yuan took the exquisite wooden box and opened it.

Inside lay a pair of red boxing gloves, with a silver spring at the end of each fist.

"Jili Fist!" Lu Yuan exclaimed.

Chapter 116 Suffering from old sins

Chansey: When Chansey is held, the critical hit rate increases by two levels.

Like Farfetch'd's green onion, Growl's bone club, and Pikachu's electric ball, Chansey's signature weapon is Chansey's signature weapon.

But it is much rarer than scallions and bones.

After all, who plays with their lucky charm?

Hmm... it's like playing boxing with your own lucky charm.
