I'm not a Pokémon succubus.

"Aisha-kun, I understand your purpose. Please follow me for the gym challenge."

"it is good."

Aisha followed Xiaogang into the Nibi Gym.

"here we go......"

The first gym challenge has begun!

Chapter 103: Battle of Nibi Gym

Under the leadership of Xiaogang, Aisha walked to the battle venue of the gym challenge in the Nibi Gym.

The two men stood at the two ends of the battlefield, one in front and one behind.

Aisha looked towards the audience.

A dozen boys and girls of different ages sat in the audience.

They looked not much different from Xiaogang, and were obviously the brothers and sisters of the Nibi Gym Leader.

"Ah, sorry."

Noticing Aixia's gaze, Xiaogang smiled awkwardly, rubbing his head and saying, "There are too many people at home, so these children live in the gym."

"Gon's gym leader is from the Gu family."

Aixia also praised Xiaogang's love for his brothers and sisters.

indeed.

Xiaogang's good character is recognized throughout the Kanto region.

Coming from a poor family, he not only became a gym-level trainer with his mastery of rock-attribute Pokémon, but also became the gym leader of the Nibee Gym. While still taking care of his family, he also took care of his younger brothers and sisters responsibly while taking care of Pokémon training.

Because of this, Nibi Gym is not like Hualan Gym and Yuhong Gym, which have their own side jobs to earn extra income.

Because of time and energy issues, Xiaogang, as the gym leader of the Nibi Gym, receives subsidies from the Pokémon League.

However, after Gang used the subsidies for Pokémon breeding, there was little left.

Therefore, the Nibi Gym is inferior to other gyms in the Kanto region in terms of its decoration and battle facilities, and it feels a bit poor in comparison.

"I should also thank Aixia-kun."

Suddenly, Xiaogang thanked Ai Xia.

"Ok?"

Aisha was quite confused.

What happened to Xiaogang?

"Um......"

Before the battle began, Xiaogang stroked his old Poké Ball and awkwardly explained his predicament. He said, "I know Aisha-kun is quite popular online. You can definitely find some equally popular Gym Leaders. As the first match of the live Gym Challenge, it will be a win-win situation for both parties. My Nibi Gym doesn't have much popularity to offer you."

"Even so, Aisha-kun still chose my Nibi Gym as the starting point for the battle."

Xiaogang looked at Aixia seriously.

His face, tanned by years of hard work, showed an expression beyond determination, and his words were full of gratitude, saying: "Although I am the gym leader, this time it is almost my nanny. Bi Gym enjoys Ai Xiajun’s own traffic and popularity in all aspects..."

"Thank you very much."

"......nothing."

Aixia was silent for a moment, then waved her hand in response to Xiaogang's words.

He is indeed a man as solid as a rock.

In fact, as a gym-level trainer, Xiaogang has many ways to make money.

However, being a trainer is a very expensive profession.

Especially since Xiaogang, as the gym leader, needs to improve and consolidate his strength all the time, the cost is very high.

He needed to take care of his family and couldn't find a side job outside all day long, so the finances of the Nibi Gym naturally encountered difficult problems.

Although Aisha herself only intended to repeat the path she took in the game of her previous life and challenge the gym according to the order of the game, Xiaogang unexpectedly came up with such a story that "Aisha is helpful and is willing to help herself even without traffic."

However, Aixia was happy that her little effort could help Xiaogang.

It doesn't matter.

"In this case, Xiaogang Gym Leader must not let go!"

In order not to embarrass Xiaogang, Aixia also smiled and joked.

"it is good!"

Xiaogang clenched the Poké Ball tightly, looking more serious than ever before.

He himself was very much looking forward to Aisha's challenge.

He spent all day playing with rookie trainers and children who might not be as good as the rookie trainers, and finally met a formidable opponent.

Xiaogang was very excited.

"The rules of the competition are three-on-three battles. Gym trainers are not allowed to freely replace their Pokémon, but challengers are free to replace their Pokémon."

Xiaogang's younger brother acted as the referee and read out the rules of the gym challenge.

"I'm ready."

At one end of the field, Aisha repeated the yellow sponge's lines.

"it is good."

Xiaogang opened his squinting eyes slightly.

"Game start!"

Seeing this, the referee immediately raised the small flag and announced the start of the fight.

Aixia's live broadcast drone started operating at this time, and the captured images were fed back to his live broadcast room in real time. The viewers who were watching the live broadcast were also actively sending barrages.

The Gym Challenge is recognized worldwide as a high-level battle.

In particular, Aisha, as the challenger, has become very famous on the Internet recently. The gym he challenged is one of the eight gyms in the Kanto region known as the hell level.

The rock-hard Xiao Gang and the rookie killer Aisha.

The collision of these two powerful trainers was so intense that the number of people watching the live broadcast even exceeded the number of people watching Aisha kill monsters in the Evergreen Forest.

The popularity suddenly exploded.

"Director Ai, so handsome!"

"Xiaogang, so manly!"

"Why don't the two above just have a fight?"

Xiaogang obviously underestimated his popularity as one of the eight major gym leaders in the Kanto region.

Aixia didn't bother to pay attention to the comments in the barrage.

He and Brock threw the Poké Ball together.

"dew!"

"Long!"

Marill and Rhydon landed on the field together.

"This is Xiaogang's best Pokémon. He really values ​​Ai's guidance!"

"Marilu... can really beat Rhydon?"

"I also feel it's a bit forced. Although there's something wrong with Ai's Marill, Rhydon's physical defense is still too high, and it's not certain that he can defeat the attribute restraint."

"Coach Ai is too arrogant."

After understanding Aisha's fighting style, Xiaogang still chose the Pokémon he was good at to engage in simple offensive and defensive battles.

Aisha has her own tactics, and Xiaogang responds by remaining as still as a mountain.

Aisha's idea was very simple - he had a total of seven Pokémon, and the only Pokémon that could restrain Rock were Marill and Cleansing Rotom. There really weren't many Pokémon to choose from. The overly shallow Pokémon pool meant that Aisha was temporarily unable to implement any outrageous tactics in real battles.

"Water jet!"

"Hold on!"

Marill's preemptive attack was blocked by Rhydon's defensive move.

"Rock blast!"

Xiaogang immediately commanded Rhydon to launch a counterattack.

He didn't know what items Aisha's Marilu was carrying.

Taking into account that Marill is very fragile, Xiaogang boldly guessed that the item Aisha gave Marill was the Cloak of Momentum, so he chose the rock burst that can attack in multiple stages as a means to break the Cloak of Momentum.

"Long!"

Rhydon roared and threw out several rocks.

"Marilu, the water bursts!"

"dew!"

As a result, Maril took the rock blast head-on, and her petite body didn't even shake at all. A stream of water broke and hit Rhydon's forehead.

Instead, Rhydon was knocked to his knees by Maril's tail.

My head was spinning.

"hiss......"

Xiaogang took a breath of cold air.

Is this level of physical defense and output what Maril can achieve?

It's too ridiculous.

"Marilu, water jet!"

"Rumble Rock, Thunder Fist!"

The clear water collided with the crackling lightning.

Rhydon successfully intercepted Maril's water jet with his Lightning Fist, and the two sides put some distance between them.

"Rumble Rock, Invisible Rock!"

Xiaogang finally realized that Aisha's Marill was no less skilled than his own Rhydon. Under the four-fold restraint, Rhydon had almost no chance of gaining an advantage in a head-on fight, so he immediately made a backup plan and directed Rhydon to scatter a handful of nails on the field.

"Invisible Rock?"

Aisha frowned.

"Marilu, hold on!"

"Rumble Rock, big explosion!"

Just a second before Aisha gave the order, Xiaogang commanded Rhydon to cause a huge explosion.

“Long——!!”

Rhydon's massive body emitted a blinding light as it roared passionately. Then, a massive explosion engulfed the battlefield, engulfing both himself and Marill.

"dew......"

However, after the light of the explosion dissipated, Maril, who had used her defense in time, still stood steadily on the field.

Opposite it, Rhydon had already lost its combat capability.

The live broadcast barrage also exploded.

"Grass, invisible rock, and big explosion, how come Xiaogang, a reckless man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, is also trying these tricks?"

"Are you sure Xiaogang has thick eyebrows and big eyes?"

"What happened to our squinting eyes?"

"Damn, the problem is, Coach Ai obviously read that Xiaogang was going to explode, so he immediately ordered Maril to use the defensive move."
