Pokémon: I have a Pokémon too!

Shen Xiqing lingered at the door for a while before officially walking in. She decided that she must stay here longer.

The architectural style of the evil gym is a bit dark, but judging from the traces of decoration, it seems that this was not their original intention.

There were holes all over the wall, as well as some patches that looked like they were blackened by fire and smoke. There were no curtains on the windows, but there were curtain rods. Some of the fabrics had obvious scratches, and it was obvious that they had been tortured for a long time.

After walking only a short distance, at least three evil-type Pokémon had already jumped past him. He could also hear their trainers' voices calling out to them from afar, searching for them everywhere.

There were rods hanging from the ceiling, and Murkrow's eyes were fixed on the pair of gleaming earrings.

Shen Xiqing felt a little frightened by being stared at and couldn't help but cover his ears.

Although I know it's unlikely to happen, I'm still a little afraid that Murkrow will pounce on me and pull out my earrings. The thought of it hurts.

Shen Xiqing's ears felt a little sore and hot because of his inexplicable associations.

Fortunately, the Murkrows shifted their attention after they no longer saw the light from the earrings. Some of the Shenius flew directly to Shen Xiqing, trying to win the sparkle by performing their talents and acting coquettishly.

Shen Xiqing tried hard to ignore the flying acrobatics on both sides, covering his ears and rushing forward quickly.

The Murkrows stopped moving forward after following for a distance. Most evil Pokémon have a strong sense of territory. Even if they are under the control of a gym owner, they still need to abide by the rules and not offend other Pokémon's territory.

Seeing Shen Xiqing hurried in, he put down his hands and breathed a sigh of relief. When the evil hall master saw the earrings on her ears, he suddenly remembered what he had overlooked.

"Sorry, I forgot to remind you to try not to bring in anything pretty or reflective."

Master Guan is not very old, and looks only six or seven years older than Shen Xiqing. He is currently the youngest master in the Central China Alliance, but his strength should not be underestimated.

Shen Xiqing pinched her ears in fear. She was too careless. She should have expected that there would be Pokémon like Murkrow and Meowth who liked shiny things in the Dark-type Gym.

So she shook her head and didn't take it to heart, but the owner of the Guan Pavilion still remembered it.

His memory is not very good, and the older generation pays little attention to this aspect and treats it all as a test. Maybe it's time to put up a warning sign at the entrance of the gym.

"Not realizing this beforehand was the trainer's fault. There's no need for you to apologize." A somewhat arrogant voice came from behind.

Shen Xiqing turned his head and saw a familiar person, the former captain of Kyoto University, Gu Jiang.

Gu Jiang raised his chin without even looking at Shen Xiqing. He walked straight past her and sat next to Master Guan.

"Xiao Jiang, don't be so rude. Challengers are also guests. We should ensure the personal and property safety of guests."

Compared with Gu Jiang's arrogance, Master Guan's character can be described as extremely gentle.

Gu Jiang snorted coldly and turned to look at Shen Xiqing. "You should do what your age should do. You are so self-satisfied and rush forward blindly. You really don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is."

Apparently Gu Jiang had heard about Shen Xiqing's challenge to the elite competition, but he still didn't know the details.

Judging from the tone and address he used when talking to Master Guan, it was not surprising that he knew about this matter.

Master Guan held his forehead with a headache, "Xiao Jiang, everyone has the right to decide their own future path. Following the rules is your choice, but it doesn't mean it's completely correct, nor does it mean you can impose your ideas on others."

Gu Jiang frowned, obviously disagreeing with this point of view, but he did not refute Master Guan in front of Shen Xiqing.

"Everyone has their own choices. I am happy to challenge myself with a higher level of difficulty."

Shen Xiqing came from a general gym, so this provocation was nothing but a drop in one ear and out the other for her. She could even refute Gu Jiang in a playful tone.

Tanjiang was able to become the captain of the Kyoto University team. Although his temper was not very good, he was not an impulsive person. He did not get angry and stand up to challenge someone to a fight because of this sentence.

He just glanced at Shen Xiqing, his arrogant attitude was clear at a glance, "Then wait and see in the elite competition."

Upon learning that this would be his opponent in the upcoming competition, Shen Xiqing's momentum suddenly increased and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Morubeko descended from the sky, stood on the coffee table, opened his hands to the left and right, signaling both of them to put aside their hostility.

With her belly full of patterns, Morubeko looks like a cute little angel. However, seeing Gu Jiang's face suddenly become calm and she leaned back involuntarily, you can tell that Morubeko is definitely not as cute as she looks when she gets angry.

After easing the conflict, Morubeko sat back, took out a small round cake and started to eat it.

Maybe because he was not too hungry at that time, Morube did not put the cake into his mouth to chew. Instead, he held the small round cake and gnawed it with a grunt. He looked very cute as he concentrated on eating.

"That's enough of my off-topic chatter. Now let's prepare for the gym battle."

Master Guan stopped rubbing his brows. Although his eyes were gentle, he did not look well.

Shen Xiqing followed Master Guan towards the battlefield. Gu Jiang sat there for a short while before quickly following.

Gu Jiang snorted coldly as he passed by Shen Xiqing. Shen Xiqing just smiled at him speechlessly, and the perfunctory feeling was as obvious as his arrogance.

Gu Jiang, who was somewhat angry, turned his head away from her and instead stared at his senior brother's back.

Feeling the resentful gaze of his junior fellow student behind him, Guan Zezhong touched the back of his neck and chose to put his junior fellow student behind him for the time being.

When they arrived at the venue, Gu Jiang squeezed out the referee's seat first, and let him be the referee for this round so that he could watch the match up close.

Shen Xiqing played with the Poké Ball in her hand nonchalantly. She knew the rules of Pokémon battles by heart, and was not afraid at all that Gu Jiang would catch her making mistakes in the rules.

It means exposing her strength in front of future opponents, which may cause some trouble for her in future competitions.

But we can talk about the future later. The most important thing now is to try our best to get the gym badge.

Without the badge, you can’t even reach the future you want.

"This gym battle will be a 3v3 singles match, with no item rules. The gym owner cannot actively rotate Pokémon. The entire battle will be recorded by Rotom's camera. It will begin after both sides are ready."

One minute of simple pre-match preparation time gives the challenger time to think about the starting lineup.

Shen Xiqing hesitated for a while, and finally decided to boldly try to use the method that she had always been good at but was easily restrained here.
