Chapter 560: Boss Ju's Loss-Making Deal
On the mountaintop area on the edge of Fanba City, the magnificent Fanba Gym exudes a sense of gold from the inside out.
In fact, challengers who are familiar with this place know that this place is built on top of a mine, a veritable gold miner’s shack!
"Wow~ I bought a lot~" After finishing their shopping at the famous Fanba Market in Fanba City, Xiaozhi and his two friends wiped their sweat and arrived at today's destination.
"At this time, Boss Ju should be back from inspecting the new area." Xiaozhi nodded.
"Honba Gym." Alice looked around and said, "I'm really looking forward to playing here."
After all, Boss Ju and Alice are both members of the Dragon Headed Hamster Club.
Alice is full of fighting spirit today.
"It's still the same old rule. You go first, Alice." Xiaozhi grinned, "For a newbie like me, it's better for me to play in the gym trials first."
"Ahahaha~ Xiaozhi, you really~ know how to live." Tiantong smiled speechlessly.
The level of the gym disciples is much better than that of the roadside trainers. Xiaozhi is ready to take advantage of them...
When we got to the door, it was actually an electric door. It turned out that Fanba Dojo was really rich...
Click... The door opened, and a middle-aged man wearing a yellow helmet stood up: "Who are you?"
"We are here to challenge the Fanba Gym." Xiaozhi said loudly.
"Challenger?" The other party frowned, then waved his hand: "Go back. We won't accept challenges these two days. The disciples' spirits still need to mine. They can't recover."
"Is that so~" Xiaozhi stretched out his voice, and Alice and Tiantong behind him covered their mouths and chuckled.
"That's such a shame. I said that if I could challenge the gym, I would give these newly picked resurrection grass to Boss Kiku~"
Looking at the sack in Xiaozhi's hand, the other party was shocked: "Qiaodou sack... Don't tell me that this sack is full of..."
"Fresh resurrection grass with dew on it~" Xiaozhi grinned.
Before Xiaozhi could turn around, the other party rushed over and held Xiaozhi's hand: "The museum is open today, come with me!"
"Why didn't you say it earlier~" Xiaozhi smiled and raised his eyebrows, then followed the miner into the gate.
It is called a gym hall, but in fact there are no facilities on the mirror-like floor, only a towering elevator.
With a rumble, the elevator rose up with flashing lights, and Boss Ju walked out quickly carrying a pickaxe.
"Resurrection grass? Where is the resurrection grass?"
"Boss, look." The miner handed Xiaozhi's sack over.
"Wow~ This is fresh~" He took out a resurrection grass and put it close to his nose and took a deep breath. Boss Ju felt refreshed: "Hmm~ It's a rare thing!"
Turning to look at Xiaozhi and the others, Boss Kiku nodded with satisfaction: "I like this gift from you three very much.
Since you are so sincere, there is no need to participate in the selection competition. Just follow me to the gym."
"Don't~" Xiaozhi immediately stopped him: "Let Alice play the gym match first, I think I still need to warm up, and the selection competitions are my favorite."
"Oh, that's fine." Boss Ju glanced at Xiaozhi and nodded.
"I didn't expect that young people nowadays still have some backbone. I will satisfy you."
After handing the resurrection grass to a miner beside him and telling him to share it with everyone, Boss Ju turned around and got on the elevator: "You guys, follow me!"
Xiaozhi and the other two nodded and walked quickly into the elevator.
Rumble! The elevator shook as it descended along the ground, entering a mine tunnel illuminated by dim yellow lights.
When they reached the mine, the elevator opened and everyone walked out.
Pointing to the track and mine cart nearby, Boss Kiku said, "Those participating in the challenge will take the car over there, and then they can reach the final venue by defeating the trainers on the road along the track.
Those who are coming to the gym competition, follow me!"
"Xiaozhi, I'll go first!" Alice followed Boss Ju carelessly.
"Happy hunting~" Tiantong nodded gracefully to Xiaozhi and followed Alice.
Xiaozhi watched the three people disappear at the end of the mine, then he took a running start and jumped onto the ore cart, pulling the handbrake to start it.
Click~ As the searchlight lit up in front of the tunnel, Xiaozhi began to move towards the mine assembly line.
"Hey hey hey ~ I'm coming ~"
"Pika Pika~" Pikachu rubbed his hands, showing his little fangs and laughed.
"Crocodile, Mantle Rock, Toad King~ Crush them for me!!"
Boom! Boom! Strong vibrations continued to be heard from the temporary platform at the end of the tunnel.
“Ya mei liao!!”
"It's the boss! This is the boss's lineup!"
"This isn't a challenge, this is a kick-out!!"
Unfortunately, the miners' screams and howls could not stop Xiaozhi from moving forward.
"Screw-mole, drill straight!"
"Bad Crocodile, Rock Blade!!"
Xiaozhi's Crocodile waved his arms, and two circles of sharp stone blades flew around his body, and then suddenly shot out.
Bang, bang, bang! The hard stone blade interrupted the screw mole's straight drilling, and then the gangster crocodile picked up two stone blades and rushed forward, stabbing the opponent's kidney fiercely.
"Gah!!" As Crocodile burst into white evolutionary glow, the last miner's Pokémon fell at Ash's feet.
With dark red tiger-striped skin and sunglasses, the rogue crocodile makes a stunning appearance with the aura of a real boss.
"Hehe, the training with the Mega Iron Tyrannosaurus was not in vain. It's time for you to take the lead, boy." Xiaozhi patted Crocodile.
As one of the few regional aces that are not from the Big Three, Xiaozhi is very much looking forward to the combat effectiveness of Crocodile.
"Boss Ju will not lose." The miner said unwillingly.
"It doesn't matter. The Rogue Crocodile is my backup. I still have a Great Swordsman to fight." Xiaozhi clapped his hands, got on the mine cart and left the mine.
Drive all the way to the end of the tunnel, where a big door disguised as a rock wall slowly opens.
A wide space excavated from pure nature, a site of dirt and rock, surrounded only by metal frames and bright searchlights.
Unlike the magnificent ground buildings, the underground area is quite rough.
In the arena, Alice was playing with her badge.
I have to admit that the Dragon type is still too strong. Apart from the Ice type and Fairy type, it basically doesn't feel much pressure against other opponents.
"Oh~ You passed so quickly." Seeing Xiaozhi striding into the venue, Boss Kiku showed a look of surprise.
"Good luck." Xiaozhi smiled lightly.
There is little light in the tunnel, and there are several routes to enter the main venue. If you are lucky, you may only need to defeat two or three disciples to see Boss Ju.
"Oh~ I see." Boss Kiku nodded, and thought that Xiaozhi had a smooth journey and did not meet too many disciples.
You know, there are twelve combat miners in that tunnel.
If you are unlucky, you may not be able to get out of the tunnel and will be beaten back to the Pokémon Center to register...
Unfortunately, Boss Kiku didn't know that Xiaozhi's wave power was like turning on a radar in the dark.
That means he didn't let any opponent go...
"Since you're here, let's prepare for the gym tournament. Hey, go check out his challenge results." Boss Ju calmly ordered, leaning on his pickaxe.
"Yes, boss!" The middle-aged miner nodded and ran to the walkie-talkie to verify the situation.
Not long after, the uncle's face changed and he ran to Boss Ju and whispered something in his ear.
"You kid!" Boss Ju couldn't help but widen his eyes and stared at Xiaozhi in surprise.
Then, he smiled and said, "Humph! This is the first time I've made a losing deal. Bring out the Ace Team's Poké Balls!"
What the middle-aged miner just told Boss Ju was: Twelve people in the challenge match were all wiped out...
Xiaozhi came to the challenger's seat and stood still, looking at the Boss Kiku opposite him grabbing a luxury ball and raised his eyebrows.
"Xiao Zha, let me see what you can do!" Boss Ju sneered.
"No problem." Pressing the brim of his hat, Xiaozhi took out the Poké Ball.
The middle-aged miner returned to the referee's seat and re-announced the rules: three-on-three match at Fanba Gym, the game begins!
To be continued...
