"We're almost there. Nibi City should be right in front of us!" Xiao Zhen pointed to the outline of the city in front.

Hanako wiped the sweat from her head. She was exhausted after another whole day of cycling.

After entering Nibi City, Xiao Zhen and the other person first had a few ice drinks, and then went straight to the local Rock Gym.

The gym leader of Nibe City is a dark-skinned middle-aged man with a light stubble on his face, looking a bit sloppy.

"Hello! I am Xiao Zhen, a rookie trainer who came from a faraway place. Today I want to challenge the Nibe Gym!" Xiao Zhen smiled and explained.

The middle-aged man nodded, patted his chest, and said confidently: "My name is Wu Neng, and I am the gym leader of Nibi City. It's a pleasure to meet you, a traveler from afar!"

After saying that, Wu Neng pulled out a dark-skinned kid from behind him, who looked about five or six years old.

"By the way, let me introduce you, this is my son Xiaogang!" Wu Neng laughed, patted his son on the back, and said, "Come here! Xiaogang, get to know the two guests!"

Xiao Gang? Could this be one of the important supporting characters in the future protagonist group, who later served as the gym leader for a period of time, a human teddy bear who would confess his love to a beautiful big sister as soon as he saw her?

Xiaogang glanced at the two of them, and suddenly his eyes lit up. He immediately walked in front of Hanako and said excitedly: "Big sister, you are so beautiful, can we..."

Before Xiaogang could finish his words, he was hit hard on the head. Although he didn't see the big bump like in the anime, it must have been very painful.

"Haha! I'm really sorry. Xiaogang is a kid with some problems in his brain and he often has attacks. You shouldn't bother with a little brat like him." Wu Neng laughed awkwardly a few times and said helplessly.

The corners of Xiao Zhen's mouth twitched a few times. This kid was like this when he was five or six years old. No wonder he became so weird when he grew up.

Xiaogang held his head and looked at his father with resentment. This old man was not much better. He learned to be like this from him. He actually said this to his own son.

Wu Neng glanced at his silly son and sighed in his heart. This kid doesn't have any brains. The two young people in front of him look like a couple.

Even if she really wanted to confess, she had to get the man away first. Otherwise, if she angered him, he would not be as merciful as she was, and she would probably be severely beaten.

"You two, if you want to challenge me now, please follow me!" Wu Neng waved his hand and laughed.

Xiao Zhen nodded. He also wanted to finish the challenge quickly, so he took the badge and left.

If you spend one more second with this father and son, you will feel your IQ is decreasing.

Only Hanako was confused. She didn't hear Xiaogang's words clearly and didn't know what the little brother wanted to say, but he was punched by his father.

In the long corridor, Xiaogang opened his squinting eyes and looked at his father, starting an eye contact that only they could understand.

"Dad, why did you hit me just now? It hurts, you know that?"

"You silly boy, you are out of your mind. Can't you see that these two are a couple? Be careful or that guy will give you a good beating!"

"Is it really that serious? This is our family's gym. Even if he really wants to beat me up, he probably won't hit me too hard! And he looks so frail, he doesn't look like someone who can fight. He doesn't even have as many muscles as you, Dad!"

"Humph! You still have a lot to learn. Although that young man doesn't look like a martial arts expert, he looks more like a young master from a wealthy family. But my intuition tells me that this kid's close combat ability must be very strong!"

"I don't believe it! Why don't you give it a try, Dad? After all, you used to be the third best boxer in our Nibi City!"

"Get lost, you unfilial son!"

Xiao Zhen, who was following behind, had been using his soul power to observe the behavior of the father and son. He only found that their eyes kept flashing, as if they were communicating secretly. Unfortunately, he couldn't understand what they were saying.

Anyway, this father and son are not bad people. At most, their personalities are a little...that's all.

"Hey! Xiao Zhen, I always feel that uncle and his son are a little weird?" Huazi quietly approached Xiao Zhen and said in a low voice.

Xiao Zhen patted Huazi on the shoulder and whispered, "It's okay, they are not bad people. We will leave after we get the badges."

Hanako nodded. She didn't know why, but she always felt that the way the father and son looked at her was a little strange, which made her feel like she had goose bumps.

"Okay, we're here. This is the battle site of our gym!" Wu Neng pointed ahead and explained.

Xiao Zhen took a look and saw that the ground was made up of rocks, with densely packed stones on it, making it look like a pile of rocks. He simply drew some battle lines, which looked a bit shabby.

"Hahaha, our gym is mainly based on rock and ground, so the venue is set up like this!" Wu Neng couldn't help but smile awkwardly. What do you think of this reason? It should be able to fool people.

Xiao Zhen didn't believe this nonsense. From the outside, he could tell how old this gym was. It was not well managed, so it lacked funds. In a simple word, it was poor.

Wu Neng felt a little embarrassed by Xiao Zhen's look. It seemed that this young man was not easy to fool and he had obviously guessed the reason.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, little brother. The rule of our gym requires at least two Pokémon. I wonder if you have brought enough?" Wu Neng quickly returned to the topic and asked.

Xiao Zhen nodded. Whether this gym was rich or poor had nothing to do with him. He just came here to challenge others. He took the badge and left.

Soon, the game began, and the referee was the little brat Xiaogang.

Xiaogang stood in the middle of the field, waving two flags in his hands, and said a few opening remarks in a very professional manner, looking a bit like a referee.

"Next, I declare that the competition officially begins!"

As Xiaogang finished speaking, Xiao Zhen and Wu Neng each threw out a Poké Ball.

As soon as the Fire Dinosaur appeared on the scene, it howled, fully demonstrating its majesty.

The one that Wu Neng sent out was a spirited Geodude, with his fists clenched tightly and staring at the Charmeleon opposite him, showing no sign of weakness in momentum.

"Is your Fire Dinosaur well bred?" Wu Neng took a look and said admiringly.

Xiao Zhen smiled slightly and said calmly: "Thank you for the compliment, but I will not show mercy next time!"

“Hahaha, what a confident young man! If you say so, I should be more serious too!” Wu Neng laughed loudly and ordered, “Fistful of Rocks, use Impact!”

After receiving the order, Geodude let out a strange cry, pounded the ground with its fists, and rushed towards Charmeleon in a strange posture.

"Charmeleon, use Flame Breath!"

Charmeleon received the order and immediately spewed out a breath of high-temperature flame, which quickly covered the entire Geodude.

However, this high-temperature flame didn't seem to cause much damage to Geodude.

Wu Neng kindly reminded him, "Hahaha, young man, Geodude is a rock and ground-type Pokémon. It can completely restrain your Charmeleon."

Xiao Zhen also understood about attribute restraint. Whether it was the games he played in his previous life or some books he read after coming to this world, there were detailed descriptions of it.

Xiao Zhen sighed helplessly. It seemed that using the Fire Dinosaur to fight was still a disadvantage.

Think about the previous Tokiwa Gym, which used the Bug type. Although there were reasons for letting the opponent win, attribute restraint was also the main factor.
