Chapter 8: Umbreon's Monster Hunting Journey
Chapter 8: Umbreon's Monster Hunting Journey
As soon as Su Sheng stepped out of the door, Moon Eevee jumped onto the windowsill, looked at his master's receding back, and fell into deep thought for a moment.
Just...waiting here?
While your master is working hard outside for you, you just sleep at home?
Just then, Moon Eevee noticed a few "familiar people" passing by outside.
"Brother Yishu, are we finally going to challenge the Azure Gym today?"
“I’m so jealous. He’s the same age as us, but he’s already able to challenge gyms. I wish we were as strong as Kazuki-san. Then, that guy wouldn’t have taken away my favorite Pikachu cookies…”
Umbreon recognized two of the human cubs.
It was exactly two weeks ago that the two unlucky guys had their snacks robbed by their owner... oh no, they won the snacks.
But this time there was one more person in the team.
The little human being is estimated to be one or two years younger than his owner, with a slightly chubby face.
However, what Moon Eevee cares more about is what these three children say.
Gym?
When Moon Eevee used to follow the old woman.
I've heard of this thing too.
It seems to be a respectful title for humans who possess very powerful elves.
So the question is, who is stronger last night, the "king" as called by the annoying old human or the "master" as called by these little ghosts?
After a brief contemplation.
Seeing the three little ghosts' backs getting farther and farther away, Moon Eevee opened the window switch and jumped out.
Like a black cat shuttling between the eaves, it followed the three children.
……
Not long after, in the Azure Gym.
A middle-aged man with a mustache, a muscular body, and six-pack abs that stood out in the sunlight coming in from the window shouted:
"I'm Ah Si, the gym trainer of the Azure Gym! Tell me your name! Challenger!"
The boy introduced himself with a pretentious smile on his face:
"I am Kazuki, a genius who specializes in psychic abilities and is traveling around Johto!"
Yishu, who was estimated to be a year or two younger than Su Sheng, bowed to Ah Si, but there was not much respect in his tone.
"Kazuki? I heard that Suten heard about you, and you seem to have great potential."
Ah Si recalled for a moment.
The Hayaten he mentioned is the current gym leader of the Kikyo Gym in the Johto Alliance and the father of the future gym leader Asuka.
"Hehe, I didn't expect my name to spread so quickly. The uncle in Kikyo City is not very strong. I hope Uncle Si won't let me down."
Kazuki lifted up his collar, and among the three badges pinned inside, one of them was the speed badge of Kikyo Gym.
"A talented but arrogant young man..."
Ah Si, who had not gained weight like in the future and had six-pack abs, smiled slightly.
"Then you try it, little one!"
Ah Si took a horse stance, made a karate starting move and threw out a Poké Ball at the same time.
That is... the elf from the Unova region, the porter!
Obviously, Ah Si showed mercy.
After all, the kid opposite is only eight or nine years old.
How strong can you be?
Even if his good friend Su Tian lost, Ah Si would not choose to suppress his old partner at the level just to save face for his old friend.
That's too low.
"Hehe~ I leave it to you, natural bird."
Kazuki threw the Poké Ball with his backhand.
A small bird-like elf with unfocused eyes landed on the ground.
A natural bird with psychic + flying abilities.
Completely defeated Ah Si who is good at fighting.
"The gym challenge between the gym leader Si and the challenger Yishu will begin now. Now... the match begins!"
The moment the referee announced the start of the match, Kazuki immediately launched a fast break.
As soon as they started fighting, Ah Si discovered that this bad-tempered kid had more than just his mouth.
The talent is really beyond words.
If he could be trained by a famous teacher, he would definitely be able to reach the level of the Four Heavenly Kings. However, the two people fighting in the arena and the scattered spectators in the audience did not notice it.
In a corner of the auditorium.
A Moon Eevee was sitting on the back of a chair, its bloodshot eyes staring straight at the battle in the arena.
……
"Hou Li lost his ability to fight, and Sister Mi Lip won."
After a moment, the referee raised the flag and said:
"Since both of Gym Trainer Si's Pokémon have lost their ability to fight, the winner is Challenger Yishu."
"Oh my, I'm going to be laughed at by Sutian now."
Ah Si touched his head and retracted his strength.
After the porter was defeated, he became a little more serious and sent out a powerful force who was not the absolute main force but was firmly in the second-tier of his team.
However, he still lost to the opponent.
"Yeah~ It's a little more stressful than the Kikyo Gym, but that's it."
Yishu shrugged and spread his hands.
I have to say, this guy is in a very bad condition now.
But Ah Si didn't say anything.
No matter how powerful you are, what's wrong with being a little high-profile?
He wouldn't say bullshit like he lost to you because he didn't use his main players.
Even though he was using non-main forces, he still lost to Kazuki in terms of command as a trainer. This was the reality.
"Alright, super power boy, this strike badge is yours."
Ah Si gave Kazuki the badge that symbolized passing the Azure Gym Challenge.
He is looking forward to this year's Quartz Conference.
If no new talent emerges, I believe no one can stop Yishu from winning the league championship.
But what he is looking forward to more is the King Challenge and even the Champion Challenge that will come after that.
Who will take care of this kid then?
Is it the young girl with glasses, Kona, who has a figure that is as big as an adult?
Is he still the dragon messenger Adu who wears a cloak and wears a sign saying everyone owes him money?
Hehe, given their personalities, neither of them would spoil Yishu.
Ah Si has begun to look forward to it.
"Who will be the next gym leader to be defeated by a genius like me? To be honest, I'm a little bored."
Kazuki, who received the strike badge, still spoke in a tone that demanded a beating.
Boom!
Suddenly, a dull thud of something falling to the ground attracted the attention of Ah Si, Yi Shu, and the scattered spectators in the early morning.
They only saw an elf that most of them had never seen before.
Crawl upright with knees slightly bent.
It was like a battle mode, approaching the two people in the center of the field.
"It's the bad elf of the bad guy!"
"Damn it! My Pappa Duck potato chips!"
Of all the people present, only the two unlucky ones recognized the Moon Eevee.
But the two looked around and didn't see the bad guy.
This made the two of them suspicious.
Is this just wild?
"Hmm? I've never seen an elf before. What are you doing?"
Ah Si took the initiative to speak.
In the era when Professor Oak had not yet developed the Pokémon Encyclopedia, even the knowledge reserves of gym masters were not as complete as those in later generations.
Not to mention that attributes such as Dark, Steel, and Fairy have not yet been officially included in the textbooks by the League.
Moon Eevee raised its right front paw slightly, erected one of its paws, and hooked it at Ah Si.
The meaning couldn't be more obvious.
