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

Gastly was grinning and yawning, inadvertently revealing its sharp fangs.

“Ghost…Ghost!!!”

The sudden shock left the young man frozen in place.

Immediately afterwards, due to excessive fear causing her legs to go weak, she stumbled and lost her balance, rolling down the steps like a snowball.

"Ouch!" With a painful groan, the young man fell to the ground in a disheveled state.

Just then, Lu Yuan, who had heard the commotion, rushed over and asked with concern, "Um, are you alright?"

As he spoke, he reached out to help the young man up.

"Hiss... No... It's nothing, it's just... I just didn't expect to run into a ghost so early in the morning."

The young man rubbed his sore bottom and said with lingering fear.

"Jiejiejie..."

Seeing the young man's panicked appearance, Gastly not only did not restrain itself, but laughed very unrestrainedly.

It turned its head to share the joy, only to be met with Lu Yuan's eye-roll.

"Why are you looking at me? You're scared, why aren't you helping him up?" Lu Yuan scolded.

"Scrape hiss (

p_q).

The obedient Gastly floated obediently to the young man's side.

However, as it approached the young man, the man, who had just calmed down a little, was terrified again and screamed at the top of his lungs, "Ahhh! Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer!"

"Well, I can stand up by myself, I can get up!"

The young man scrambled to his feet, took several steps back, and maintained a safe distance from Gastly.

"Scratching sound???"

"So you're afraid of ghosts," Lu Yuan said as he stepped forward.

"Yes... Pah! Who said I'm afraid of ghosts? The word 'afraid' doesn't even exist in my dictionary."

The young man with the flamboyant "kill-matt" style said arrogantly.

Oh, so he's illiterate.

Lu Yuan nodded as if he understood, while looking at him with a hint of pity.

"What's that look in your eyes?"

"Never mind all that, I'm here to challenge you, Master Lu Yuan!"

The punk youth waved his hand and pointed at Lu Yuan in front of him.

"I?"

Lu Yuan pointed to himself and then smiled, "No problem, I'd be happy to."

......

"Is it okay to adopt the 3V3 rule?"

After Lu Yuan finished preparing, he shouted to the young man on the other side of the field.

"Wait a minute." The young man suddenly called out, pulling a phone from his pocket: "Do you suggest I start a live stream?"

???

Lu Yuan was puzzled; these lines sounded so familiar!

However, since he insists on doing it this way...

"Please."

With Lu Yuan's permission, the punk youth started a live stream and then struck an extremely embarrassing pose in front of the camera.

"Hello everyone, I'm Yu Longzhi, currently striving to become a Dragon Master. Today, I'm here to challenge the recently popular Wutong Gym. If I get the badge, remember to subscribe and follow me!"

"Ah, Zhibao is live streaming again. Here's a little heart for you."

"Wutong Gym? I remember now, it's the infamous Poison-type Gym that's been making a fool of itself lately!"

“I’ve heard of it too. My uncle’s mother’s husband’s son’s brother’s child challenged it. He was like he was possessed, saying he would never go home until he took down the dojo.”

"That's so scary, Zhibao, if you behave, we won't hit you anymore."

"Yes, my neighbor's child also tried it. That kid was ruined. He didn't come back for a month and stayed in Wutong Town."

These words, along with this series of actions, made Lu Yuan's tendency to feel embarrassed for others resurface.

What, are you trying to embarrass me to death and then take my badge?

"Lu Yuan, Lu Yuan!"

While Yu Longzhi was still greeting his fans, Xiao Lan walked over from the referee area.

“I’ve found out about this guy’s background; he’s from the Kanto Miryu family.”

"The Imperial Dragon Family? That's the family of Dodo... the family of Ado."

The Royal Dragon Clan is the oldest family in the Kanto region, dating back a thousand years. It was a powerful force that had already taken shape before the Alliance was even established.

Even though it has occasionally weakened, it still enjoys a certain degree of influence in the league.

It is said that every member of the family can ride a dragon when they reach a certain age.

Watching Yu Long Zhi thank his fans and perform his amazing skills in front of the camera, it really feels like a relic of a bygone era...

They've given all the kids talents.

Finally, after Xiao Lan finished reading the rules, the competition officially began.

It was first released by the dojo master.

"Go ahead, armored bird!"

A flash of white light appeared, and a bird-like Pokémon with a metallic sheen appeared in the sky above the field.

"666! The Poison-type Gym Leader sent out a Steel-type! They're not even pretending anymore!"

"It's the shou team again! Zhibao, quickly use your strongest dragon to finish it off!"

"Go for it, Zhibao! Let this cancerous gym leader see the power of the Dragon type!"

Encouraged by his fans in the live stream, Yu Longzhi sent out his first Pokémon.

"It's you I've chosen! Go!"

White light suddenly appeared.

An elf with a brownish-gray body, a long neck, thick limbs, four huge leaves on its back, and a bunch of bananas hanging from its chin entered the arena.

Tropical dragon!

???

Tropical dragons? Are tropical dragons dragons?

Chapter 73 No, the Skarmory is cunning too!

Lu Yuan vaguely remembered that the tropical dragon was a grass-and-flying creature, and its eggs were classified as both monsters and plants, which had nothing to do with dragons.

But since the Yulong family all said it was a dragon, Lu Yuan couldn't really refute it.

Just then, Yu Longzhi shouted loudly, "Tropical Dragon, Dragon Dance!"

Dragon Dance, the signature move of many dragon-type and non-dragon-type Pokémon.

Countless examples exist of teams turning the tide of battle thanks to the speed and physical attack boost it provides.

Therefore, for Dragon-type trainers, having their Dragons use Dragon Dance as soon as they enter the battle is a well-known and widely followed basic strategy.

Almost simultaneously, Lu Yuan also gave the order:

"Invisible Rock!"

Just as the tropical dragon was dancing, countless faintly visible rocks floated around the arena.

If the opponent switches their Pokémon, they will take one-eighth of their HP as damage.

"Heh, a mere Stealth Rock? As long as I don't trade Pokémon, let's see what you can do to me!"

My tropical dragon can take you down in a second!

Go, tropical dragon, use Outrage!

Reverse Scale, a powerful Dragon-type move, unleashes a chaotic attack over 2-3 rounds, after which the user falls into a state of confusion.

Although the reverse scale is etched into the genes of many elves, very few can actually learn it.

The fact that a non-Dragon-type Pokémon like Tropius could learn it is enough to prove its extraordinary talent and potential.

No wonder Yulongzhi is so confident; it seems he usually relies on using Outrage to instantly kill opponents in gym battles.
