Pokémon: I just became a Gym Leader, and Cynthia proposed to me.

Chapter 73 Meteor Assault

In the afternoon, a clean-cut young man with blue hair came to the dojo.

Ring the doorbell, "Hello, is Mr. Li Shuwen, the curator, in?"

Li Meining looked surprised. "Is the Curtain Department Store Celebration Cup so effective that trainers are coming to challenge you one after another?"

Li Shuwen got up to open the door. "With my increased fame, more trainers will challenge me, and the League subsidies that the Veiled Gym receives will increase accordingly."

"This will allow me to purchase more professional equipment to train Pokémon and strive to get the Veiled Gym back into the top eight as soon as possible."

Back then, the "old man with lung fog" was Li Dazhuang, a promising young talent from Sinnoh.

Driven by the desire to provide a better life for his wife, the power of love propelled him to lead his newly established Veil Dojo into the top eight, achieving a commendable fifth place.

Li Shuwen was already born at that time, but Li Dazhuang and Hongye's relationship was based on love, while Li Shuwen's was just an accident.

Li Meining nodded, "Brother, you can already compete against Elite Four member Cynthia! You'll definitely be a top-eight contender in next year's gym rankings!"

Li Shuwen opened the door. "I am Li Shuwen. Please come with me."

Li Shuwen led the blue-haired youth to the reception room and served him tea.

"Which badge do you have? The number of Pokémon you battle with will vary depending on the number of badges you have."

The blue-haired youth nodded. "I am Lan Yu from Yinyu City. This is my eighth badge."

Li Shuwen's spirits lifted instantly, and choosing the Veil Dojo for his eighth badge truly showed his high regard for it.

He needs to play well.

"The eighth badge will be awarded in a four-on-four format. Do you have any questions about that?"

Lan Yu shook her head. "I have no problem with it, and I'd love to. I hope the Veiled Dojo is interesting enough to give me some inspiration and help me win the Lily of the Valley Tournament."

"This way, as my eighth badge, the Veiled Gym can also benefit from it."

Seeing Lan Yu's smug expression, Li Meining couldn't help but turn her head away.

Li Shuwen just smiled and said, "Then I'll wait for you to win the championship. Let's go to the competition venue now and start the match."

Seeing the battlefield full of rocks, Lan Yu nodded.

Judging from the battlefield, the curtained dojo is indeed well-designed.

Li Shuwen's first one was naturally the Bad Frog.

"Go, natural bird."

The first one is a natural bird, no wonder it's from a trainer from Inferno City.

"A surprise attack!"

Natural Birds are skilled in superpowers, such as staring at the sun without moving for an entire day in order to foresee the future. This also means that although Natural Birds are birds, they are not good at flying.

This blue-feathered bird clearly hasn't overcome its natural bird instincts.

In the blink of an eye, the wicked frog appeared in front of the natural bird, its black-glowing hand fiercely stabbing into the bird's body.

"A natural bird, with a strong spirit!"

Also because wild birds remain completely still, they have a very high pain tolerance.

Even when hit by a surprise attack, Nargacuga can still use Psychic.

This is much better than the Pokémon of the challenger this morning.

Li Shuwen believed that the bad frog would not be trapped by a little mental force!

"A surprise attack!"

The wicked frog bulged its muscles, straining its willpower to charge toward the natural bird.

The blue light in the eyes of the natural bird kept getting stronger, trying to pin the bad frog to the spot.

However, compared to Gallade's Psychic, Natu's Psychic is far less powerful!

The wicked frog swung its hand and pierced the body of the natural bird.

The bird let out a mournful cry, unable to maintain its fervent will.

"A surprise attack!"

Li Shuwen has a unique skill that allows him to thrive anywhere.

"Natural bird, teleportation."

Rather than flapping their wings and flying high, they try to avoid attacks from vicious frogs.

Blue Feather chose teleportation because he knew the level of the natural bird.

"Above, a sludge bomb."

As the natural bird appeared in the air, the wicked frog immediately spat out a string of mud bombs.

"Air Slash!"

Lan Yu gritted her teeth slightly; the dual superpowers that countered the Bad Frog were having little effect.

The owner must have given the delinquent frog rigorous training in resisting superpowers.

This curtained dojo was definitely the right choice!

The wicked frog moved its feet, avoiding the white wind blades.

Meanwhile, the birds in the air flapped their wings to avoid the mud bombs.

He was still hit by two bombs and tumbled several times in the air before regaining his balance.

"A surprise attack!"

The wicked frog leaped forward and delivered a powerful punch with its right palm, striking the natural bird in the abdomen.

The bird took flight and soared into the sky, crashing into the steel frame of the ceiling. It then landed on a rock, was bumped, and fell unconscious onto the rock.

Blue Feather recalled the natural bird, pondering how to enhance its flight capabilities.

Today's performance was really poor; they lost the match so easily.

However, this also proves that challenging the Veiled Gym was indeed the right choice.

"Go, Zubat, Air Blade!"

"Throw mud."

Blue Feather was taken aback. Using Mud Throw on the Giant Bass? What kind of fighting style is that?

Before the air blades could even be fired, a clump of mud was already smeared onto the face of the Zubat.

The sticky mud caused the giant beak bat to lose sight of itself.

Lan Yu's eyes widened. So fast!

Fortunately, the giant beak bat can use ultrasound to locate the scoundrel frog.

"Ultrasound."

As a result, another clump of mud ended up in the mouth of the beaked bat.

"A surprise attack!"

The wicked frog slapped the big-mouthed bat to the ground.

"Poison Strike!"

With two palms thrusting wildly, the giant bat was pinned to the ground.

"Goblin, Air Blade!"

Even though it was being suppressed, the Zubat still managed to condense a wind blade and send the scoundrel flying.

Then, the battered and bruised frog returned to the giant bat, ready to attack, only to find that the giant bat had already fainted.

The scoundrel looked at Li Meining, only to find that the incompetent referee had declared Zubat unable to battle.

Lan Yu gritted his teeth. How could a mere scoundrel like the Bad Frog have defeated two of his generals?

He had underestimated his opponent earlier, but now he had come to his senses.

"Scyther, use your wings!"

The mantis's wings are not used for attacking, but rather as sharp scythes.

So fast!

The scoundrel couldn't avoid it at all and was slashed twice by the Scyther.

It suffered a severe blow.

Even after defeating two, the greedy, unruly frog was still not satisfied.

"Air Blade"

The Scyther spun its body, unleashing a dense barrage of wind blades.

"Break the tile!"

The wicked frog used its tile-splitting technique, waving its hands in an attempt to block the wind blades.

However, there were simply too many wind blades, and the scoundrel was eventually overwhelmed by them.

The wind blades dissipated, but the stubborn frog refused to fall.

Li Shuwen sighed and put the naughty frog away.

It seems that mental cultivation is more important for bad frogs.

Blue Feather finally breathed a sigh of relief after defeating one.

They keep boasting that they look down on the fighting-oriented Veil Dojo, but if they get shut out, how embarrassing would that be?

"Onion Soldier, please."

This can be considered Congyoubing's first battle.

Upon seeing the giant farfalle duck, Lan Yu asked in surprise, "Is this a farfalle duck?"

Li Shuwen explained with a smile, "This is the evolved form of Farfetch'd from the Galar region, Sirfetch'd, which is a Fighting-type Pokémon."

Lan Yu nodded thoughtfully. Since it's a Fighting-type, then Scyther is fine.

"Scyther, wings!"

"Leeks, Meteor Assault!"

Raising his longsword, Onion Soldier transformed into a golden meteor, piercing through the body of the Scyther.

The sickle, which was about to be swung, suddenly fell limply.

Onion Soldier landed, sheathed his longsword, and let out a long breath.

Looking at the fallen Scyther, Lan Yu's eyes were filled with disbelief.

How is that possible? How could his Scyther be instantly killed by a Fighting-type Pokémon?

Lan Yu looked at Li Shuwen, "That Meteor Strike just now, was it a Rock-type skill!?"
