Pokémon: Ash's Journey to Mastery

"This is a custom of fashion shows. It is said that the clothes made by Lady Maxiu can only be shown in their most beautiful posture when the Pokémons are fighting." The girl next to him explained to Xiaozhi.

"This is an opportunity. I must make use of all my experience so far and get the badge," Shota thought to himself.

"Then let's start the match between Aromatherapy Gym Leader Ma Xiu and Challenger Shouta."

Then the staff announced the rules.

Serena and Sode Rika also changed their clothes and met Xiaozhi's people.

Shota sent out his Baby Dragon. Xiaozhi couldn't help but shake his head when watching this operation. It seems that as a newcomer, Shota doesn't understand the attributes and restraint table. Facing the Fairy-type gym leader, sending out a Dragon-type is already a disadvantage at the start.

Maxiu sent out Fen Xiangxiang.

Elf: Powder fragrance

Strength: Elite.

Qualification: King

Traits: Healing Heart

After seeing this information, Xiaozhi no longer holds out hope for Shota to win.

"Baby dragon's breath."

The baby dragon gathered its strength and exhaled a blue breath. Fen Xiangxiang had no intention of dodging the attack and was hit directly.

"Great, the preemptive strike hit," Shota said happily.

But after the smoke cleared, Fen Xiangxiang was unharmed, and she was stunned.

"How could this happen? It should have hit." Shota was originally happy to see that the skill hit the target, but now he stood there in a daze, puzzled.

The fragrant powder danced in the air for a circle and then landed on Maxiu's sleeve.

"Fen Xiangxiang is a fairy type. Dragon type skills have no effect on fairy types. This will become a tough battle." Xitron said.

Shota also wrote this knowledge in his notebook.

“That way I can gain experience.”

"You are worthy of being Master Ma Xiu."

"so beautiful."

The audience below gave praise.

"No it's not enough for my beautiful battle."

"How about this? Headbutt."

The baby dragon jumped up and smashed the pink fragrant fragrance with his hard head, which was easily dispersed by him, and a hole was smashed in the wooden board.

"I haven't finished using it yet. I just learned how to use continuous headbutts."

The baby dragon jumped up and attacked Fen Xiangxiang in the air but was dodged again and again.

Xiaozhi tried this kind of operation, but he didn't expect this pink fragrant one to be so gorgeous without any unnecessary movements.

"How could this happen? They were all avoided."

"Why is it my turn this time?" Ma Xiu also planned to launch an attack.

She raised her hand and said, "What a wonderful and gorgeous battle. Go ahead, Fan Xiangxiang."

The powdery fragrance flew high into the sky.

"Don't let him get away, baby Dragon Hammer."

The baby dragon jumped up.

"That's when the magic shines."

Fen Xiangxiang released a dazzling light and hit the baby dragon that wanted to attack her.

Seeing this light, the audience became even more excited.

Under the gorgeous light, the baby dragon fell heavily to the ground, and circles appeared around its eyes.

"Baby dragon."

"Baby Dragon has lost his ability to fight, so the winner is the gym leader Mashiu."

The audience cheered in congratulations.

"Thank you for your hard work, my dear dragon," Shouta consoled him, putting it back into the Poké Ball and sighing.

Then he looked up and saw Ma Xiu, and then heard her say gently: "Thank you."

"Thank you so much."

After the fight between the two, the audience's enthusiasm reached a climax and they screamed.

...

"I learned a lot today. One day, I will definitely fight for revenge." Shota said with full momentum.

“That’s the momentum.”

"come on!"

Xiaozhi buried his head in eating and then said he was done.

"Okay, prepare the battle plan for tomorrow."

"Ash."

"We will be fighting with Miss Ma Xiu tomorrow, so we must be prepared. Let's go."

Xiaozhi's Pokémon also quickly finished eating its food.

"I'll accompany you then," said Shota.

"Sure, Shouta."

"I say, you two, at least you should have your meal in peace," said Serena dissatisfiedly.

"Faced with a strong opponent, Xiaozhi can't sit still." Citron said with a smile.

Serena also quickly finished the meal in front of her and said, "I'm full too."

"I'm going to cheer him on, too."

"I'll go too." Xiu Lijia also quickly finished her meal.

"How come Lianxiu Lijia is also...really?" Xitron also finished his meal and said wait for me.

...

"Let's start the gym battle." Xiaozhi said, looking at the gym in front of him.

"By the way, Shota, have you ever seen a gym battle?" Serena said at this time.

"No, it's the first time, so my heart is beating fast now."

"The one Shota wants to fight is Satoshi."

"Please cheer me up, Shouta."

"Do you have a plan for dealing with the fairies? Judging from yesterday's battle, there are still too many unknowns in Miss Maxiu's battle?" Hitlon reminded.

"Yes." But Xiaozhi was thinking that basically all my powerful Pokémon in this Fairy Gym were restrained.

"Is everything okay?" Xiu Lijia said worriedly.

"No problem, Xiaozhi has always worked together with the Pokémon to obtain badges, so he will definitely be able to defeat Miss Marsh." Serena said.

"Well, I will succeed." Xiaozhi said confidently.

The five of them walked into the gym.

...

"Welcome to X4." The four staff members said politely and bowed when they saw the five people coming.

"Gym battle please."

Four staff members stepped back to make way for the passage.

The five people passed through the passage and looked at the surrounding environment.

There are many flowers and plants, which look very beautiful.

Xiaozhi went to the battle area, while his four companions went to the audience to watch.

Shota sent out Kiba-no-Goblin and said, "Kbaba-no-Goblin, today is your apprenticeship. Watch Satoshi and the others fight carefully. It will definitely enrich our experience."

"Just right."

"So are we."

"Shota is very motivated."

"Well, where is Miss Maxiu?" Xiaozhi looked at Miss Maxiu who had not appeared yet and asked the staff in confusion.

"Please don't worry, the owner will be here soon."

Then, all the lights went out, and petals began to rain all around.

The five people looked at this scene in surprise.

"As expected of a designer." Shota exclaimed.

Then Maxiu's figure slowly walked over.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting. The Aromatherapy Gym Master, Lady Maxiu, is here," said the staff member.

Ma Xiu also bowed politely.

"It's amazing that you can come here. Your name is Xiaozhi. How many badges do you have?"

"That's five now. I want to win here and get the sixth one," Xiaozhi said truthfully.

Ma Xiu smiled when she heard this, and then said, "It's a good thing to be energetic, but I can't give it to you so easily." When she said the second half of the sentence, her eyes and temperament became noticeably sharper.

"The stronger the opponent, the more passionate my elves and I will be. I will never lose, Miss Maxiu." Xiaozhi looked at Maxiu in front of him firmly and said word by word.

"Then let's get started."

"The Aromatherapy Gym Battle between Gym Leader Mashiu and Challenger Satoshi from Pallet Town will now begin."
