Reborn in Pokémon, my background is super hard

Jiro is growing fast, but he is still not good enough to face the Cat and "her" ace Blastoise.

After persisting for a long time, he was still defeated by Blastoise's water cannon, and the rule of the Nibe Gym is a 2-on-2 singles match.

So after Steelix lost his combat ability, Jiro immediately exchanged Pokémon.

Jiro's second Pokémon is Rhydon, whose heavy armor and sturdy body demonstrate its fighting power.

"Jiro's talent for training is pretty good. It hasn't been long, but he already has a Rhydon." Wutong couldn't help but say when he saw the second Pokémon Jiro sent out.

Xiao Ming may not know the Super Armored Rhino, but Shinji, who is from the Sinnoh region, definitely knows him.

"It's really not bad." Shinji praised it rarely.

"Wow, it seems that Teacher Shinji is very satisfied with his apprentice." Xiao Ming teased.

"I'm not a teacher, and he's not my apprentice." Shinji said coldly.

The battle between Jiro and Maomao ended quickly, and without any surprise, Maomao won.

However, Jiro also demonstrated his own growth and strength, and under Maoto's slightly restrained command, Jiro successfully defeated Blastoise and saw Maoto's second Pokémon.

After winning, Maomao got the gray badge representing the Nibi Gym. After getting the badge, Maomao shook her high ponytail and turned around and left.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you two from now on. I'm going to go help." Wutong said as he caught up with Maomao's departing figure.

"What a strange person - Master Shinji!" Jiro looked at Maomao's departing back in confusion, and the next second Jiro saw Shinji and Xiao Ming.

"The battle just now was okay, and I have fulfilled the duties of a gym leader. However, you still need to work harder to improve your strength. As a gym, if I can't make the trainers feel improved after the challenge, then I would be derelict in my duty as a gym leader." Shinji said without correcting Jiro's address.

"...Master Shinji, are you here to inspect the gym today?" Jiro couldn't help but ask after hearing Shinji's words.

"Yes, after our inspection, Nibe Gym is operating normally and passed the inspection." Xiao Ming nodded and said.

"Great! I will definitely work harder!" Jiro said happily.

When Shinji and Xiao Ming informed Jiro that he had passed the examination, Wutong and Maomao came to a remote and deserted place to help Maomao remove his disguise.

"Jiro seems to know a lot about the evolution of rock-type Pokémon." Xiao Mao said after returning to his original appearance.

"Well, a very talented little guy." Wutong nodded in agreement.

Due to time constraints, Wutong and his four companions immediately headed towards Cerulean City after completing the surprise inspection of the Nibe Gym.

We passed through Yuejian Mountain and nothing happened along the way. We didn't even see a single Pipi. I wonder where these guys living in Yuejian Mountain have gone.

Of course, Wutong and the other three had no time to care about this matter. Early the next morning, the four of them arrived in Hualan City.

"Then the question is, how should Hualan City conduct surprise inspections?" Wutong asked the other three.

Shinji and the other two looked at Wutong clearly.

"You are going to participate in the Grand Tournament in Cerulean City, and it would be a good idea for you to challenge the current Cerulean Gym at the same time," said Shinji.

"Let me come? It's not impossible, but I probably won't find anything if I go, right?" Wutong said.

After all, in Xiaotong mode, he and Xiaoxia are familiar with each other. If he goes to challenge the Cerulean Gym, Xiaoxia will definitely give him a good reception.

"I'll go too!" Shinji said very seriously.

"Ah!?" x3 Wutong and the other two were shocked.

"I want to make sure whether the Hualan Gym has been renovated." Shinji continued seriously.

Apparently, the "excellent impression" that the Hualan Gym left on him was still not forgotten.

"In that case, Sisi will have to make a comeback." Wutong said with a thumbs up.

"It doesn't matter! If the Hualan Gym does not meet the standards, this gym must be reorganized!" Shinji said coldly.

All I can say is that Shinji has a deep grudge against the Hualan Gym.
