The soul penetrates Xiaozhi and destroys Gou Hao at the beginning

The gym is now run by my companions, and thanks to this, I am able to go out and practice in various places." Ami said.

"That's really hard for Kexia." Xiaozhi said with a smile.

He still remembered the little girl who had coated Onix's entire body with waterproof wax in order to help it get rid of its quadruple weakness to water.

"As expected of Miss Ami, as a gym trainer, you are not satisfied with a stable life and constantly train yourself to strive for excellence." Xiaogang said.

"I think that's also a responsibility as a gym trainer." Ami smiled.

"By the way, Xiaoguang, what are you going to do next?" Jianwu asked.

"I'm going to cheer for Ash in his Sinnoh League match." Dawn said without hesitation.

Hearing Xiaozhi's name coming out of Xiaoguang's mouth, Jianwu was obviously a little jealous and asked,

"And what about after that? There's still some time until the next grand celebration. Will you go back to Shuangye Town first, or do you want to continue your journey?"

"After that? Well, I haven't thought about that yet."

"if that is the case……"

Kengo clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and made up his mind. Just as he was about to say something, the voice of the Four Heavenly Kings Daye sounded from behind them.

"Hey, luckily I made it in time, Xiaozhi, it's great that you guys haven't left yet."

"Mr. Daye! Why are you here?" Xiaozhi asked in surprise.

"Because I want to see you embark on your journey with my own eyes. You have turned my best friend Denci back into the terrifying Denci he used to be, so you are my benefactor, of course." Daye said.

"No." Xiaozhi said.

"Originally, Denci wanted to come with me to see you off today, but he was too busy to deal with a constant stream of challengers, so he asked me to say hello to you on his behalf."

"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Dianci." Xiaozhi said.

When Ami, who was standing next to him, saw Daye coming, she immediately became eager to fight.

She walked forward and said,

"Mr. Daye, I am the gym trainer of the Asagi Gym in the Johto region. My name is Ami, and I would like you to have a Pokémon battle with me."

"With me?" Daye asked in surprise.

"The opportunity to fight the Four Heavenly Kings is very rare. In order to be able to make use of this experience in the future, please agree to it."

"Of course, I welcome beautiful challengers."

"Great."

After the agreement was reached, everyone went to a lawn in the nearby park.

Xiaogang will be the referee.

"Then I will send out the Infernape."

"I'm going, Steelix."

Both of them sent out their respective ace Pokémon.

But whether or not he is an ace is not that important. There is already a huge difference in strength between the Elite Four and the gym trainers.

The Steel-type gym trainer Ami has all Steel-type Pokémon, while the Fire-type Four Heavenly Kings Daye has all Fire-type Pokémon.

In this battle, Ami is at a disadvantage in terms of attributes and overall strength. Although the battle has not yet begun, the outcome is already predictable.

"Isn't it disadvantageous to use the steel-type Steelix to deal with the fire-type Infernape?" asked Hikaru.

"There's nothing we can do, because all of Miss Ami's Pokémon are Steel-type," said Xiaozhi.

Seeing how close Xiaoguang and Xiaozhi were, Kengo, who was standing next to them, became more and more jealous.

"One-on-one match, the battle begins!" Xiaogang shouted.

"You guys attack first." Daye said.

"Then I won't be polite, Steelix, use Iron Tail."

"Get out of the way."

Steelix swung its tail at him, but Infernape nimbly jumped into the air to avoid the attack.

"As expected, you are very good at training. Steelix, aim again and use Iron Tail."

"Flame Monkey, block it directly."

Infernape easily blocked the attack by crossing his arms over his chest, but it was ineffective.

"Big steel snake, use sandstorm."

"Flame Monkey, just crack it."

Steelix spun its body at high speed, creating a sandstorm, but Infernape simply waved its arms to break the attack.

"The big steel snake, crush it with all your strength."

"Infernape, use Flare Charge."

The two Pokémon collided head-on. Although Steelix had a very high physical defense, it was still easily knocked away by Infernape, which was wrapped in flames. It fell heavily to the ground. The effect was excellent, and Steelix fell to the ground instantly.

Steelix was killed instantly by Infernape in one move.

"Steelback has lost his ability to fight, and Infernape has won." Brock announced.

"Come back, Steelix. You've done a great job."

"Come back, Flame Monkey, thank you for your hard work.

I'm really sorry, Miss Ami, but it's my etiquette to fight without mercy."

"This has benefited me a lot. Thank you very much for your guidance."

After saying that, Ami bowed to Daye.

"Mr. Daye, is it your tactic to let your opponent use his skills first during a battle?" Ami asked.

"Yes, defense is the best special training. If you end the fight without taking the attack, it can't be considered training at all.

First, you have to let your opponent attack, and then choose whether to take it or dodge, so that you can practice your skills well." Daye said.

"I see."

"However, when fighting against someone stronger than me, I won't be so calm." Daye said with a smile.

"For example, the champion Miss Zhulan?" Ami asked.

"Yes, once I have finished my preparations, I will go and challenge Miss Zhulan." Daye said.

Xiaozhi asked Daye about his experience of becoming one of the Four Heavenly Kings, and Daye told Xiaozhi about it with great interest.

At that time, Daye was about the same age as Xiaozhi, about a teenager.

However, Daye made it to the finals in his first tournament against the Sinnoh League, and his opponent at that time was the candidate for the championship that year.

Daye sent out his last Pokémon, Infernape, to fight against the opponent's last Pokémon, Snorlax.

Whether it was sonic punch or jet flame, the opponent's Snorlax easily broke it with its belly and air.

Moreover, Infernape was pinned down by Snorlax with his Tarzan Pressure, making him unable to move.

But in the end, Daye still won and took home the championship.

In response, Daye explained that it was because he was a genius.

After Xiaozhi's repeated questioning, Daye said,

"For Xiaozhi who is about to face the League Conference, I can only give you one suggestion.

"No matter how strong the opponent is, it doesn't matter. In the end, the only ones who can win are those who truly want to win."

Don’t ever forget this.”
