How can I be a trainer when my girlfriend is so cute?

Smelling the familiar scent of sea water in the air, Fang Ci and his friend, who grew up by the sea, instantly felt like they were back home.

"If I remember correctly, Kuye Port in Kuye City is the largest port in the Kanto region. I wonder if there are ships going to Niangguang City?" Like Niangguang City, Kuye City is also a port city. Therefore, listening to the sound of the ship's whistle coming from the sea not far away, Qishu couldn't help but feel homesick.

"I don't think so. Why, do you want to go back?" Fang Ci keenly noticed Qi Shu's little thoughts.

"Now that I'm traveling, how can I go back if I haven't made any progress? This time when I go back, I must get my father's approval to inherit the gym, so I decided to start a new series on my channel called "Qi Shu's Gym Training". The content is to challenge the strong people who use electric-attribute Pokémon in various regions. How do you feel about that?" He didn't deny that he missed home, but his longing for the future quickly suppressed that homesickness.

"Okay, then we have a lot to run next!" Looking at the girl's expectant eyes, Fang Ci said with a smile.

In fact, ever since they came down from Tianguan Mountain, Fang Ci felt that their trip lacked a long-term goal, but since Qi Shu had made up his mind, their future journey would definitely not be aimless anymore.

"Okay, then let's start by challenging the Withered Leaf Gym in Withered Leaf City. My personal photographer, hurry up and catch up!" As he said that, Qishu excitedly ran towards the Withered Leaf Gym.

The unique trapezoidal appearance of the Vermilion Leaf Gym is particularly conspicuous among many similar buildings. Even Qi Shu, who came to Vermilion Leaf City for the first time, could find the direction of the gym at a glance.

As soon as they walked into the gym's door, they heard a burst of intensive smashing sounds on the wall.

"Hey, is anyone fighting?" Hearing the sound coming from deep inside the gym, Qi Shu stretched his head curiously.

"Are you two here to challenge the gym?" At this time, a man in green military uniform at the gym entrance also noticed the two.

"That's right. We are trainers from Brewing City in the Padia region. We are here to learn the advanced experience of the Vermilion Gym." Seeing this, Qi Shu immediately stated the purpose of the two.

"So he's not an ordinary challenger, but Boss Ma Zhishi happens to be in the gym today, otherwise I really don't know what to do in this situation."

"Then please take us to see Mr. Ma Zhishi, we will explain everything to him!" Qishu asked, bending down slightly.

"Got it, come with me!" The man made a gesture of invitation and led the two men towards the depths of the gym.

"Thank you!" The two thanked him and hurried to catch up.

Following the man, a wide arena soon appeared in front of them. At this time, a naughty thunder egg was rolling rapidly in the arena, leaving a deep dent every time it touched the wall.

A group of burly men wearing the same green military uniforms with bare chests were sitting together, looking at the naughty Lei Dan below with interest. In the middle of them, Ma Zhishi, with his muscular body, was obviously more muscular than the others.

"Please wait a moment!" After leaving the two people at the door, the young man leading the way walked quickly towards Ma Zhishi.

Hearing the young man's words, Ma Zhishi turned his head in surprise and looked in the direction of the two men. Seeing how reserved they looked, he couldn't help but smile heartily.

"Bisqueze, please stop training for a while, a guest is coming!"

As Ma Zhishi's booming voice rang out, the naughty Thunder Egg in the arena immediately stopped rolling and followed a woman with a pink headband and a long ponytail with a plug decoration onto the steps of the arena.

Seeing a group of men and women with explosive muscular lines walking towards him, Qi Shu couldn't help but swallow nervously, and whispered in Fang Ci's ear:

"The people in the Withered Leaf Gym all look so fierce!"

"Shh~ keep your voice down!" Seeing that the people from the Dead Leaf Gym were getting closer, Fang Ci quickly pulled the girl's long sleeves.

"Hey, girl. You must be Brother Ron's daughter!" Although he looked fierce, Ma Zhishi was unusually enthusiastic when he spoke.

"Yes, my name is Qishu, nice to meet you Mr. Ma Zhishi!" Qishu was not surprised at all to hear Ma Zhishi say his father's name. After all, there were only so many electric-attribute gyms, and it was normal for gym owners to know each other.

"So, Qishu girl, are you here to challenge us on behalf of the Niangguang City Gym?" As he said this, Ma Zhishi's tone turned cold and he crossed his arms with a dark face.

"No, I just want to learn from you and the Vermilion Leaf Gym. After all, I will inherit the gym sooner or later, so..."

Seeing Qi Shu's incoherent panic, Ma Zhishi and the other gym trainers around him burst into laughter.

"Don't be nervous, Qishu girl. I was just joking with you. When I was a sailor in the Padia region, your mother took care of me. I will never make things difficult for you, the daughter of your benefactor! So, welcome to the Dead Leaf Gym!"

"Oh~" As soon as Ma Zhishi finished speaking, everyone behind him immediately cheered and applauded.

"So, this boy here is your boyfriend, Qishu girl?"

"Hello Mr. Ma Zhishi, my name is Fang Ci and I am from Nianguang City like Qishu." Seeing that Qishu blushed but did not explain for a long time, Fang Ci could only bite the bullet and introduce himself.

"So Fangci boy, do you also want to challenge the gym?"

"It would be great if I could fight against a powerful trainer like you!" Seeing Ma Zhishi take the initiative to speak, Fang Ci immediately said excitedly.

"Not bad, very impressive. I wonder if you are interested in staying in the Vermilion Leaf Gym and training with everyone. Our Vermilion Leaf Gym needs passionate trainers like you."

"We still have a lot of places to go next, so I'm sorry, Mr. Ma Zhishi!" Before Fang Ci could speak, Qi Shu on the other side took the initiative to refuse on his behalf.

"Haha, you two have a really good relationship. In that case, why don't you let me see the bond between you? How about a brilliant doubles match, with Bisqueze and I versus you and Fang Ci boy." Ma Zhishi's personality is as bold as he looks. He proposed a fight directly after saying hello.

"We are all fine!" Fang Ci and Qi Shu looked at each other and saw the burning desire to fight in each other's eyes.

"That's great. I finally came back here but there was no one to challenge me in the gym. My bones are almost rusted. It seems like I can finally enjoy myself today!" As he said this, Ma Zhishi excitedly twisted his wrist, making a crackling sound.
