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

The armored bird stood proudly atop the ruins, emitting a loud cry.

I am not dead yet—

Due to its sturdy nature, when at full health, it will retain at least one HP when attacked.

"Damn it!" Yu Longzhi clenched his fist. "How could it have such a disgusting trait as 'sturdy'?!"

If it weren't for the live broadcast, given the Yulong family's fiery temper, Yulong Zhi's fist would have already landed on Lu Yuan's face.

With a dark expression, he withdrew the already unconscious fire-breathing dragon.

Tropical Dragon was brought back into the game.

When Tropical Dragon appears, it is the Stealth Rock that has been waiting for it for a long time.

Stealth Rock: Hello (smiles).

Tropical Dragon: ?

Why? It wasn't there just now.

The tropical dragon was knocked to the ground.

Yu Longzhi's face darkened even more.

Fortunately, the tropical dragon was of a relatively high level. Apart from the two leaves on its back being damaged and wilted, it quickly stood up again.

Suddenly, Yu Longzhi had a flash of inspiration and shouted at the tropical dragon, "Tropical dragon, use Blow Away!"

He grinned, revealing a wicked and twisted smile.

"Let you taste what it's like to be blown away, hahaha, hahaha!"

"Well done, that's it! Let him taste what it's like to be defeated by his own moves!"

"I've learned to use dirty tricks to beat dirty tricks."

"Zhibao, stop laughing, it's creepy for Mommy."

Strangely, a whirlwind rose up in the field again, and this time Skarmory transformed into a red light and flew back into Lu Yuan's Poké Ball.

"Come on, let me see who your next Pokémon is!"

White light suddenly appeared.

A giant metal bird covered in silver armor landed on the field.

It's a Skarmory!

Lu Yuan's second Pokémon was Skarmory!

Tropical dragon: "......"

Live stream viewers: "......"

Xiao Lan: "......"

The Legend of the Dragon: "..."

No, buddy?

Chapter 74 Disgusting Cotton

"Armored Bird, Iron Wall!"

"Armored Bird, pounce!"

Pounce! The higher your defense, the stronger your attack!

This tropical dragon is of a high level; it took the Skarmory three layers of Iron Wall and two pounces to barely take it down.

"Oh!"

The tropical dragon crashed heavily to the ground, completely losing its ability to fight.

"Alright, this is the head-on confrontation you wanted. Now, send out your Gyarados."

The Legend of the Dragon: "..."

The battle is over.

Yu Longzhi walked out of the dojo dejectedly.

Recalling the scene of Gyarados's fall, he clenched his fist and silently vowed, "I will definitely come back!"

Just as he was on his way to the Pokémon Center, eight young men in red, yellow, blue, green, gray, white, pink, and purple suddenly appeared.

They had been waiting for quite some time.

In fact, they started waiting the moment they stepped into the dojo.

"Brother, do you want to defeat this gym leader?" the blond youth asked.

Upon hearing this, Yu Longzhi raised an eyebrow and asked in return, "You have a way?"

His gaze, filled with suspicion and scrutiny, fell upon the group of unfamiliar young men in front of him.

At this moment, the young man with dyed red hair quickly took over the conversation and responded enthusiastically:

"Of course! As long as you join our big family, we'll all work together and we're sure to come up with a good way to defeat that gym leader!"

However, Yu Longzhi merely snorted coldly, crossed his arms, and said with a disdainful expression:

"Hmph, why should I believe you? Dragons always walk alone."

Clearly, Yu Longzhi mistook the group for a pyramid scheme.

Seeing that Yu Longzhi was about to leave, the blue-haired youth hurriedly called out, "Wait, wait, don't go! Look, we have evidence!"

As he spoke, he took out a photo and handed it to Yu Longzhi.

Yu Longzhi stopped in his tracks with some suspicion and turned to look at the photo.

In the photo, eight young people in red, yellow, blue, green, gray, white, pink, and purple are surrounding a brown-haired boy in the middle.

The eight different hair colors complemented each other, making them particularly eye-catching.

The brown-haired boy in the center held a feather badge that shimmered with metallic luster, his face beaming with an incredibly bright smile, looking extremely happy.

"See that? This young man is our apprentice, and he's already earned the Wutong Badge," the blue-haired youth said proudly.

Yu Longzhi stared blankly at the phoenix tree badge in the boy's hand in the photo, seemingly lost in thought.

After a long pause, he spoke, "Okay, is there anything I can do for you?"

Upon hearing this, the eight youths—red, yellow, blue, green, gray, white, pink, and purple—smiled.

"It's very simple"

All we need to do is shout out our slogan.

......

It's strange, no one came after that kid from the Yulong family challenged the gym this morning.

Lu Yuan lay leisurely on the bed, rolling around.

At that moment, a message popped up on my phone.

"Kanto Region Masters Group Exchange Group"

[Kona: @Lance, hahaha, look at the descendants of your Lance family (video.mp4)]

[Kona: Hahaha!]

[Kona: Hahaha!]

......

The screen was filled with continuous bursts of "hahaha," showing that Aunt Kona was genuinely happy.

[Cherry blossoms: Invisible rock, blown away, sturdy, what a weird combination! (Psyduck shivers in a corner.jpg)]

[March Strike: You've got guts, kid. Want me to teach you some street fighting skills? I'm afraid you'll get beaten to death later, hahaha.]

[Dragon Crossing: ......]

[Kona: Yo, you finally dared to chime in! The younger members of the clan were bullied, are you planning to help them get revenge?]

[Yu Longdu: It's not convenient now, but I'll definitely ask Master Lu Yuan for his underhanded tricks when I have time later. (Smiles)]

???

A-Du wants to learn some underhanded tricks from me?

Lu Yuan glanced at the Alola Vulpix flipping through a fashion magazine under the bed.

Is this enough?

Now, Vulpix can't go back to Alola, so it's temporarily being raised by Lu Yuan.

The little guy is very attached to him and insists on sleeping with him no matter what.

Faced with the Ice Vulpix's persistence, Lu Yuan had no choice but to go along with it.
