Elf: This little Mao is very different.

"Well..."

After hearing the challenge from Xiaomao and the other two, Donggua did not agree immediately, but fell into deep thought.

"Donggua, sir, is there anything I can help you with?" Seeing Donggua lowering his head, Mei asked.

"It's like this," in response to Mei's question, Donggua did not hide anything, but directly explained the reason.

"I was planning to go to Steel Island for training tomorrow. I was just about to pack up when I ran into you guys at the gym entrance!"

"That explains it." Touzi showed an expression of sudden enlightenment after hearing this.

This also explains why I met Donggua at the entrance of the gym.

"What about our gym challenge?" This is what Mei is most concerned about so far.

"Of course there is no problem with that." Donggua has already made the decision.

"As a gym trainer, I cannot refuse a trainer's challenge."

"Will this disturb your plans, Mr. Donggua?" Touzi thought about Donggua at this time.

"It's okay. We'll just postpone the plan to go to Iron Island for one day. It's not a big deal." Donggua simply waved his hand and said indifferently about the incident caused by Touzi.

"It just so happens that Piao Tai has been telling me about your powerful strength, and I also want to see how strong you are, Xiao Mao!"

"Then let's make an appointment for the gym challenge tomorrow, okay?" After seeing Donggua agree, Xiaomao immediately asked.

"Of course!" Donggua also decided to postpone the training on Steel Island, and said, "I will wait for you in the gym then!"

"When the time comes, I will let you see the strength of my steel elf!" After saying that, Donggua thought boldly.

"We will arrive on schedule."

Just like that, Xiao Mao and his friends made an appointment with Donggua, the trainer of the Water Pulse Gym, for a battle tomorrow.

After arranging tomorrow's battle, Xiao Mao and the others returned to the nearby Pokémon Center, where they took a simple rest for the night.

The next morning, Xiao Mao, Mei and Touzi arrived at the Water Pulse Gym on time.

Under the guidance of the staff of the Shuimai Gym, Xiaomao and the others also came to the battle venue inside the gym. At this time, Donggua was already standing on the venue, waiting for Xiaomao and the others to arrive.

When Donggua saw Xiaomao and the others coming, his eyes suddenly lit up and he came to greet them on the field.

"Xiao Mao, you guys are finally here!"

"Sorry, Mr. Winter Melon, I kept you waiting!"

Looking at Mr. Winter Melon who seemed to have been waiting for a long time, Xiao Mao immediately expressed his apologies.

"Hey, it's not that you're late, it's just that I'm early."

In response to Xiaomao's apology, Donggua waved his hand and said.

"When I think about fighting with Xiaomao and the others, I can't wait." Having said that, Donggua looked at Xiaomao and the others with a fighting look.

"I keep hearing Mr. Piao talk about how great you are, and it makes me feel more and more itchy to do something."

"Then let's not waste time, and the gym challenge will officially begin!" Looking at Donggua, who looked eager to try despite his age, Xiao Mao smiled.

"Okay!"

After Donggua agreed, Mei and Toruko took the initiative to go to the audience seats around the gym, while Mei and Donggua went to the two sides of the venue respectively.

Although the Water Vein Gym is a gym that specializes in Steel-type Pokémon, the battle venue inside is a rocky venue covered with uneven rocks.

Just as Xiaomao and Donggua stood in place, the referee of the Shuimai Gym came out and read out the gym rules.

The battle rules of the Water Vein Gym are the same as the previous Edge Gym, and both use three Pokémon to battle.

"Xiao Mao, let's have a showdown!"

After the referee really finished reading the rules, Donggua immediately took out a Poké Ball and threw it out.

"This is my first elf. Go, bronze mirror monster!"

Soon, an elf like a bronze mirror floated in the air.

Elf: Bronze Mirror Monster

Attributes: Steel, Super Power

Ability: Float

Level: 40

Qualification: Gym

Moves: Impact, Telekinesis, Gyro Ball, Hypnosis, Illusion Ray, Iron Wall, Mysterious Guardian, Strange Light, Cannon Light Cannon, Psychic Power...

"It's the Bronze Mirror Monster!" After reading the attributes of the Bronze Mirror Monster, Xiao Mao immediately took out a Poké Ball and threw it out.

"I've decided that it's you, Gardevoir!"

Soon, Xiaomao's Gardevoir appeared in front of Xiaomao after the white light of the Poké Ball dissipated.

"It's actually Gardevoir, what a great Pokémon!"

When Donggua saw Xiaomao's Gardevoir, his eyes flashed slightly.

"Thank you for the compliment." Hearing the compliment from the gym trainer, Xiao Mao's mouth corners curled up slightly.

"The battle begins!"

After the referee's order, Xiao Mao's expression changed quickly.

"Our duel is about to begin. Come on, Gardevoir, use Shadow Ball, burst!"

As soon as Xiaomao gave the order, Gardevoir gathered energy in its hands, formed several shadow balls, and threw them at the bronze mirror monster one after another.

"Be careful to dodge, bronze mirror monster!"

The bronze mirror monster was also constantly moving its body in the air, avoiding one shadow ball after another.

"Next is the Iron Wall!"

After avoiding all the shadow balls, the Bronze Mirror Monster obeyed Donggua's orders and used the Iron Wall move to enhance its defense.

"Finally, there's the gyrosphere!"

As soon as Donggua's order was given, the Bronze Mirror Monster turned into a gyroscope and rushed towards Gardevoir.

"Teleport!"

Facing the oncoming Bronze Mirror Monster, Gardevoir groaned softly, and disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving the Bronze Mirror Monster's attack only hitting the ground.

And in the next second, Gardevoir's figure quietly appeared in front of the Bronze Mirror Monster again.

"Magic flame!"

As soon as Xiao Mao's order came down, a ball of fire broke away from Gardevoir's hands and attacked the bronze mirror monster in front of him.

At this extremely short distance, the Bronze Mirror Monster found it difficult to dodge for a moment and could only face the incoming magic flames.

After the magic flame hit the bronze mirror monster, the monster also let out a painful wail under the burning flame and finally fell to the ground.

Perhaps due to its own defensive capabilities, the Bronze Mirror Monster did not lose its combat capability for a while.

Of course, this was also within Xiaomao's expectations. Before the Bronze Mirror Monster could recover from the previous attack, the next wave of attacks from Xiaomao and Gardevoir had already arrived.

"Gardevoir, use..."
