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

The black streak of light sent the nearly 200-kilogram Shakiras flying off the field.

The entire Pokémon slammed heavily against the gym wall, like a nail driven in, impossible to pry off.

"Cruz!"

Ah Hong shouted anxiously.

But Shakiras had already fainted and could not hear his voice.

After confirming Shakiras's condition, Xiao Lan raised the flag in his hand and announced:

"Shakiras is incapacitated; Soul Reaper wins!"

Thankfully, the earthquake just now didn't trigger it, otherwise the site repairs alone would have been a considerable expense.

It's rare for Xiao Lan to be so considerate of Lu Yuan.

In gym battles, what gym leaders fear most is the challengers unleashing an earthquake from time to time.

This is why some Rock-type and some Ground-type Gym Leaders are extremely rich, while others are extremely poor.

If a family didn't own several mines, which dojo could withstand such extravagance?

Ah Hong, looking grim, retracted Shakiras. He had actually lost...

They thought it was a Poison-type gym, so they specially sent Cruz, who has the Shed Skin ability, but unexpectedly it became a stepping stone for others.

Ah Hong took a deep breath and adjusted his state of mind.

I can't let myself be looked down upon.

He is, after all, a trainer who has reached the quarterfinals of the Indigo League.

He then participated in the Silver Tournament and the Rainbow Tournament...

But how could a mere Soul-Stealing Eye stop him?

"Please, Ryan!"

"Pica~"

With a wave of his hand, Hiroshi summoned a Pikachu full of fighting spirit to run into the battlefield.

This Pikachu has a tuft of bangs on its head.

It looks very fashionable.

When Ah Hong took out his trump card, Raine, he couldn't help but feel a sense of security.

"Watch out, Renn! Don't try to fight it! 100,000 volts!"

After that defeat, Ahong no longer dared to strengthen himself in front of the Soul-Snatching Eye.

They decisively launched an attack.

Pikachu is of a very high level, and the yellow electric beams it emits are large and thick.

The Stand with the Soul Reaver was instantly electrocuted into charcoal.

"Let's do it again!" Lu Yuan said calmly.

"Here we go again!" Ah Hong exclaimed.

But this time you won't get your way. Even if he can only use 100,000 volts, it will be enough for him to win this match!

Hmph, how naive.

A slight smile appeared on Lu Yuan's lips.

He wouldn't use the same trick twice; of course, there's a surprise waiting for you.

"Use a freeze spell!"

Even Xiao Lan was startled when she saw this.

Another immobilization spell?!

Can anyone think of this?

The Immobilization Technique, also known as the Petrification Technique, hinders the opponent's movement, rendering previously used moves unusable for four rounds.

As Sableye glowed blue, it immobilized the bewildered Pikachu.

At first, Pikachu thought the blue light was psychic energy.

But it didn't do any damage. By the time it realized what was happening, it started swearing.

Who banned all my skills?!

What a load of crap!

In the game, being hit by this combo will put you in a struggling state, losing a quarter of your maximum HP each turn. But in reality, nothing really happens except for not being able to use any skills.

At this moment, Pikachu is like a fish on a chopping board, completely at everyone's mercy.

"Pikachu? Pikachu???"

Ryan couldn't help but turn around and call out to Ah Hong repeatedly, speaking very quickly, almost crying with anxiety.

Ah Hong's face looked terrible; his brows were furrowed, and his eyes were unpredictable.

There was nothing he could do.

He didn't know how a perfectly good dojo battle had turned into this.

I should never have come in the first place.

Seeing that its trainer was unreliable, Pikachu turned its attention to the battle arena.

As soon as I turned around, I was met with those eerie gemstone eyes of the Soul-Hooking Eyes.

Hey...bro, go easy on me.

Who are you calling "brother"? I'm a woman!

Soul-Stealing Eyes mercilessly delivered a Shadow Claw strike to it.

?

If one swipe wasn't enough to kill it, then let's try another.

"Pikachu...Pikachu is unable to battle, Sableye wins."

"Since both of the challenger's Pokémon are unable to battle, the winner of this match is Gym Leader Lu Yuan."

Xiao Lan announced the results of the competition.

What a pity for such a good young man.

Hopefully, he can get through this on his own.

"That was a truly exhilarating battle; you performed admirably."

Lu Yuan walked to the Soul-Hooking Eye, bent down and rubbed its head, then took out an energy cube from his pocket and gave it to it.

With a flushed face, Soul Hook took the energy cube and disappeared into the shadows.

The child is still so shy.

Among the Ghost-type Pokémon in the gym, apart from Dusknoir, Dusknoir, Mismagius, and the two chubby ones, their personalities are generally more childlike.

They're happy when given candy, and they cry when they're sad. They also play childish pranks from time to time, which makes people both annoyed and amused.

"Mr. Hiro, it's a pity you didn't beat me, but don't be discouraged, try again next time."

Lu Yuan stood up and walked to A Hong's side.

"Next time..." Ah Hong muttered to himself, his eyes vacant.

Clearly, that battle just now dealt it a significant blow.

After thanking Lu Yuan, Ahong left the gym with Pikachu in his arms.

Watching Ah Hong's figure gradually disappear into the distance, Lu Yuan couldn't help but sigh, "What a polite and well-behaved child!"

"Yes, what a good child, what a pity," Xiao Lan nodded in agreement.

?

"What's a pity?" Lu Yuan asked, full of doubt.

"Haha, it's nothing, go watch the video Rotom filmed." Xiao Lan chuckled awkwardly, changing the subject somewhat stiffly.

At the computer desk.

After some simple editing, Lu Yuan uploaded the video to his newly registered Bilibili account.

"...Seriously, won't I get scolded for doing this?"

Xiao Lan watched the video once and then expressed her feelings.
