Chapter 180 Curtain City
Veil City is located in the eastern part of Sinnoh.
Veil City is famous for its various stones. It not only produces various evolution stones but also has meteorites and craters that have fallen from outer space.
It faces the sea to the north and is built on a steep rock mountain that has been dug out. The rock walls give the entire city a cold atmosphere. Due to its terrain, it is isolated from other towns and lacks communication. It is a city with a long history.
Xiaoyun and the other person walked across the sand and stood in the wilderness, looking at the Curtain City below, feeling deeply moved.
Xiao Guang said happily: "Wow, we finally arrived at Veil City. Now we can sleep well again!"
"Yeah, finally I can challenge the gym again."
Xiaoyun was also excited that he could finally challenge the fourth badge, so he turned to look at Xiaoguang and said, "Let's go, Xiaoguang, let's go to the Pokémon Center first."
"Xiao Guang?"
Xiaoyun saw that Xiaoguang ignored him and kept looking in one direction, which made him curious and asked, "Xiaoguang, what are you looking at?"
Xiao Guang just replied blankly: "Well...I am watching something incredible."
"Hi~"
As Xiaoyun followed Xiaoguang's gaze, he took a deep breath.
They saw a place similar to a breeding house next to them. Outside the house, a barefoot pink-haired girl was doing fighting-like training with a handsome dog.
And this dog is one of the most popular Pokémon, the Fighting + Steel type Lucario.
It seemed normal at first, because in the Pokémon world there are many fighters who train with some fighting-type Pokémon, but what happened next shocked the two.
Because, after being forced back by a hand knife, the Lucario actually used a wave missile to attack the girl.
This extremely tough girl not only did not dodge but also performed a split move and kicked the missile away directly. She is simply a human-shaped Pokémon.
"She's so awesome."
Xiaoguang looked at the pink-haired girl in admiration. After all, who could resist a girl who could fight with Pokémon?
Looking at the girl fighting Lucario, Xiaoyun agreed: "That's right, her physical fitness can compete with Xiaozhi."
And the protagonist at this time.
"Lucario, don't push me. I will not change the decision I made."
The pink-haired girl was yelling at Lucario impatiently before she sent the dog back with a roundhouse kick.
"Luca!" This sentence seemed to ignite Lucario's anger. Lucario put his hands together, and then a bone stick as long as a spear appeared in Lucario's hand. Then he rushed towards the pink-haired girl waving the bone stick.
Facing the armed Lucario, the girl was able to hold out for a few seconds at first, but was soon forced to the side of a big tree. Just as Lucario continued to swing the bone stick to attack, the girl missed a step and fell to the ground.
"Hey, this is not a joke."
Seeing that Lucario had not stopped moving, Xiaoyun, who was watching the show, was shocked and quickly threw the Lizard King's Poké Ball: "Lizard King, stop Lucario quickly."
"Cha!" The Lizard King quickly flashed to Lucario's side and caught Lucario's bone stick with one hand. The sudden appearance of the Lizard King also made Lucario inexplicably alert.
"Miss, are you okay?"
When the Lizard King and Lucario were confronting each other, Xiaoguang helped the fallen girl up and asked with concern: "Excuse me, what is going on? What happened between you and this Lucario?"
"Thank you, I'm fine."
The girl, Ah Li, first thanked Xiao Guang, then looked at the two Pokémon in confrontation and quickly explained: "Um...don't get me wrong, my name is Ah Li, and I'm a gym trainer in Veil City."
"Lucario didn't mean any harm. He's my best friend. But because I didn't want to be a gym leader anymore, Lucario got angry and we had a disagreement."
"That's why Lucario is trying to motivate me this way. I'm so sorry to bother you."
After listening to Ali's explanation, the two realized that they had misunderstood. Xiaoyun then remembered that this was the new gym leader Ali who was beaten into autism by Shinji in the original work, and judging from his depressed look, Shinji probably had completed the challenge.
But to be honest, is Ali really a good fighter? The requirement for becoming a Fighting-type gym leader is that one must be able to fight Pokémon. Xiaoyun remembers that Caidou from the Galar region and Ah Si from the Chengdu region are also tough guys who can fight against monsters with huge strength.
I think, Li, if you have this ability, why don't you just have a real fight with him? Except for some people, who can beat you?
Everything is arranged clearly for Shinji, it’s exciting just to think about it... hehe.
Xiaoyun then put away the Lizard King, and after the Lizard King entered the Poké Ball, Lucario next to him also breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, the pressure given to it by the lizard king was too great. It caught its bone blow with one hand. The powerful force even made it unable to pull the bone stick back. If a fight broke out, it would probably be the loser.
After hearing Ah Li's explanation, Xiao Guang asked curiously, "Is that so? Then why do you want to give up your position as a gym leader, Ah Li? Did you encounter any difficulties?"
"I...."
After hearing this question, Ali lowered his head, looking as if he was unable to speak.
At this time, a middle-aged man in Taekwondo uniform came over with several apprentices and said to Ah Li: "Ah Li, you came here. Do you know that your family is very worried about you?"
But Li still shook his head after seeing the middle-aged uncle: "Uncle, you don't need to persuade me. Please choose someone else to be the gym leader. I won't go back."
Seeing Ah Li's depressed look, the middle-aged uncle shouted at Ah Li in anger: "Stupid!"
"What can a mere battle prove?"
"It's just a loss in battle. As a gym leader, you should learn to adjust yourself and set an example. Only in this way can your behavior set an example for other people in the gym."
"You have been doing very well in this regard since you were young. You have always been humble and cautious. That's why everyone unanimously chose you to take over as the new gym leader. Have you forgotten all this? Ah!"
Listening to the middle-aged uncle's caring teachings, Ah Li felt more and more guilty. He said in a deep voice: "I'm sorry, uncle. I failed everyone's expectations. I really can't convince myself to stand in the position of the owner of the museum again."
Then after Ali finished speaking, he bowed and apologized to the middle-aged man and prepared to leave.
"Luca!" Hearing Ali's disappointing words, Lucario, who was angry at him for not fighting back, immediately condensed a wave missile and shot it towards Ali.
But Li, who had his back turned, didn't even look at it, and just waved his hand to send the missile flying! !
Only a lonely back is left.
