Chapter 47 Shinji's Misunderstanding
"You barely made it this time." If it were any other Pokémon, Shinji might have scolded it, but considering that the Electric Monster won, he didn't say anything, but he didn't praise it either.
"Come back, Craniopagus."
"I lost."
"Shinji, you performed very well and were very calm in your command. Here, this is the Coal Badge for challenging the gym. I hope you can get good results in the Lily of the Valley Tournament."
Hyota scratched his helmeted head, smiled gently at Shinji, and handed him the Coal Badge. As a gym trainer, he couldn't help but praise his juniors when he saw them doing well.
"Thank you."
After receiving the badge, Shinji had no intention of continuing the conversation with Hyota. He thanked him and prepared to leave.
"Shinji, stop pretending, I know you saw me!"
When Xiaoyun saw Shinji was planning to leave the gym, she quickly stopped him. He wanted to leave just like that? No way!
"What do you want to do?"
Shinji frowned. He didn't want to have too much interaction with the black-haired boy who defeated him. And he always felt that the boy looked at him in a strange way.
"Is there nothing I can do to chat with you? You played well in the game just now!"
Seeing Shinji's cold look, Xiaoyun decided to have a chat with him.
"Is that what you wanted to say?"
Shinji heard these words differently. He thought Xiaoyun was mocking him. His previous fight was not good at all and he won by a lot.
"Okay, how's the training going for Flame recently? Do you want to change its trainer?"
Seeing Shinji like this, Xiaoyun knew that there was no point in chatting with him, so she reminded him directly not to forget the agreement between them.
"I knew you were no pushover. That guy has been performing well lately and is temporarily qualified to be on my team."
Shinji was also reminding him that their agreement was that he would give it to you only when he didn't want to train anymore. He still wanted to give the little flame monkey some time to try to master the power of that fierce fire.
"Shinji, come watch my gym match next. I'll show you my recent strength!"
Xiaozhi suddenly walked up to Shinji and said that he originally wanted to continue the duel with Shinji, but the current situation could only prove his strength in this way.
"Just you? I'm not interested in your strength. Let's talk about it next time."
Shinji glanced at Satoshi and said with disdain, although Satoshi was not too weak in terms of strength, Shinji just couldn't stand Satoshi's attitude towards Pokémon, which often reminded him of his brother Raiji.
He turned to Xiaoyun and said, "You are here to challenge the gym as well?"
"Well, of course I want to challenge the gym too, how about you just give me your badge?"
Xiaoyun asked in confusion. If he didn't challenge the gym, how could he participate in the Lily of the Valley Tournament? Do you really think he is Sirona's boyfriend?
"Don't say such childish things. With your ability, is the gym tournament still important to you?"
Shinji thinks Xiaoyun is pretending to be confused. In his opinion, the Lizard King is strong enough to even participate in the King Challenge.
"Huh? Don't say that. The gym trainers are very strong! You'll easily get beaten if you say that⊙﹏⊙"
Xiaoyun was shocked. This was really not something she should say.
There aren't many hidden bosses in that area these days.
Here in the Sinnoh region, there is the "Fourth-generation Namikaze Denji" who can be compared to Daye.
There is also old man Mura, the retired fire king of the Kamae Gym in the Hoenn region.
Mr. Xia Ka of the Double Dragon Gym in the Unova region.
Kokobul, the old master of the Sala Gym in the Kalos region. Limonei, the father of the former master of the Miare Gym, Citron.
Especially in Kanto, if he really gets into it, apart from the three gyms of Nibe, Cerulean, and Rainbow that he can currently defeat, he doesn't dare to say that he can definitely win against the rest.
Especially Nancy from the Golden Gym, Aju from the Crimson Gym, the current grandmother Kikuko from the Tokiwa Gym, and Liu Bo from the neighboring Chengdu area, all of them can hang him up and ravage him repeatedly.
After all, the only one he can fight now is the Lizard King, and he may not be able to defeat it even with this.
Moreover, even in ordinary gyms, except for a few newly appointed ones whose strength needs to be improved, most of the gyms have people who are capable of guarding an entire city.
At least Xiaoyun doesn't dare to be so brave now.
Shinji dared to say this because he was not familiar with the person and had not seen his true strength. I guess the person he knew best was Mr. Kamishiro who fought against the Pyramid.
And even Kamishiro wouldn't dare to say that, after all, the strength of Granny Kikuko and Uncle Liu, anyone who knows will understand.
Xiaoyun guessed that even the three divine pillars combined were useless, so they had to be beaten.
However, it is a bit hard to believe that Shinji later chose to become a gym trainer during the Journey arc. At that time, Shinji was definitely stronger than the current Bug-type king, Liu.
Or it would be enough to take over the position of the Earth-type King from Grandma Kikuno.
In the end, he chose to become a gym trainer.
Sure enough, gym trainers are not easy to mess with.
"Humph! Say whatever you want. But I can watch your game, but it's just a waste of time."
Shinji no longer intended to listen to Xiaoyun, and although he spoke nonchalantly, he actually still cared very much about Xiaoyun's current strength. Xiaozhi was just there to watch, and finally chose to stay and watch the game.
In Shinji's mind, he felt that most gym trainers were not particularly strong, and that they could always be defeated if they spent some time and made good plans. With Xiaoyun's strength, that was definitely no problem.
Xiaoyun: He slandered me!
"OK, but Xiaozhi has to go first. He can't wait any longer."
Xiaoyun didn't expose this tsundere monster. There was no rush anyway. It didn't matter who came first or last. "Mr. Hyota, can you still run away from here?" he said to Xiaozhi who was already rubbing his hands.
"Come on, Xiaozhi, you go first and I'll play next."
“Okay, Xiaoyun.
Shinji, I will show you my strength."
Xiaozhi responded to Xiaoyun and turned to Shinji.
"......." Shinji did not answer, but just looked at him coldly, but there was obviously a little fluctuation in his eyes.
"Mr. Hyota, I'm Satoshi from Pallet Town. Please have a gym match with me."
"Hello, Mr. Hyota. I'm Xiaoyun from Shuangye Town. I'd like to trouble you to have a gym match with me later."
Xiaoyun and Xiaozhi bowed and greeted Hyota together.
"Haha, I didn't expect so many people to come and challenge me today. It seems that I can't go mining today. But I have to come one by one. Who of you two will go first?"
Hyouta smiled gently. Although he was a little worried that he couldn't carry out the happy mining activities today, he still fulfilled his duty as a gym trainer and agreed to the two's request.
"Mr. Hyota, we have already discussed it. Xiaozhi will challenge first." Xiaoyun said to Hyota.
"Okay, in that case, please wait a moment. Once the elf recovers, we can start the battle."
Piao Tai didn't say much, just said that his elf still needed some time to recover, and asked the two to wait quietly.
