There seems to be something wrong with these Pokémon

"As expected of Xiao Ye!"

After seeing the Pokémon sent out by Sakuya Ye, Xiaoxia exclaimed, "Facing the Poison-based Crimson Gym, we don't have to worry about the poison effect when using Gengar, which also has the Poison attribute!"

Xiao Gang nodded and continued, "And Gengar, who can float in the air, can also avoid the disadvantages of the constantly changing field!"

Hearing the two people praising their partner, Fujino Sakura suddenly felt proud.

Kitazawa Lingyou's lips curled up slightly as he looked at another Satoshi who was also facing a gym battle and was about to throw a Poké Ball.

"Pipibi, it's decided to be you!"

As a courtesy, Fujino Sakura also praised her.

"Pidgeot can also fly in the air, so both Pokémon will not be disturbed by the field."

"Geng Gui and Pidgeot..."

There was no expression on Aju's calm face, and he threw the Poké Ball synchronously with Ayaya.

"As a poison-attribute gym leader, you can rely on more than just poison."

"It's Furball and Smelly!"

Xiaozhi put away the Pokémon Pokédex and turned to look at Shuoya Ye, "Let's go together!"

"Well, leave it to me."

The moment the two challengers finished speaking, a man wrapped in a pitch-black night suit appeared at the edge of the venue as if he had teleported.

Almost everyone was shocked, but Aju and Ayaya just nodded at him.

"This gym match is a 2v2 doubles battle. Each trainer can use two Pokémon. Trainers can only send out one Pokémon at a time. When all Pokémon on one side lose their combat ability, the battle ends!"

"Then, let's start the battle—"

"Wait a mininute."

Aju raised her hand and spoke to stop him.

Xiaozhi, who was ready to attack, was stunned for a moment, looked up and asked, "What's wrong?"

Aju ignored him and looked straight at Shuoya Ye whose expression suddenly changed.

"Let Gengar return the scroll to me first. It's not very convenient to hold it without the badge."

Aju raised his hand, two pink badges intact in his palm, "I understand your determination to win, but rushing into things is not the style of a ninja."

"Excuse me!"

Sakuya Ye hurriedly bowed and apologized, and at the same time ordered Gengar, who was avoiding looking around, to return the scroll to Aju.

Aju raised his hand, took the scroll, opened it, and put the two badges back in it.

"He's a good candidate for becoming a ninja." A-Jie looked at Gengar who had suddenly appeared and disappeared and returned to Sakuya Ye, and smiled, "If I hadn't been on my guard all the time, I'm afraid the scroll and the badge would have been taken away by it."

"terribly sorry!"

What else could Shuogu Ye say? He could only apologize sincerely.

Fortunately, Aju didn't care about such trivial matters and signaled the man to continue with her eyes.

The man coughed a few times and shouted loudly.

"Then, the battle begins!"

"I'll attack first!"

Xiaozhi clenched his fist and shouted, "Pidgeot, lightning!"

Seeing that his teammates in the battle had already rushed forward, in order to cover their attack, Shuoya Ye could only give orders at the same time.

"Geng Gui, Shadow Ball, aim at the fur ball."

"Fur ball, get out of the way!"

In the same gym match, the difference in the two trainers' commands was immediately apparent.

As someone who had experienced unclear orders at the Pokémon Center in Viridian City, which led to a surprise attack by the opponent, Sakuya Ye knew very well what was most important in a doubles battle.

As Pidgeot rushed towards its opponent at super high speed, it hesitated for a moment in front of the two.

Ah Ju's eyes flashed, and he seized the perfect opportunity, "Mount Tai is pressing down on us."

On the other side, Gengar appeared in front of the fur ball like a ghost, laughing and gathering energy.

A huge shadow ball hits head-on!

The Pidgeot, which had slowed down unconsciously because its target was unclear, was jumped up and pressed under by the Mud. It flapped its wings desperately with pain on its face.

"Bibi Bird!"

But as a teammate, Sakutani Ye only glanced at the painful Pidgeot with the corner of his eye and then looked away, continuing to bombard the fur ball.

"Night Demon!"

"Why doesn't Xiaoye help rescue Pidgeot?" Xiaoxia looked at the struggling Pidgeot and said, "This is a doubles match!"

"Innocent."

Kitazawa Lingyou sneered and said calmly under the girl's angry gaze, "This is a trap set by Aju for Xiaoye."

"trap..."

"I understand!" Fujino Sakura reacted immediately after being reminded, and hurried to speak for Kitazawa Lingyou, "It is precisely because this is a doubles match that Xiaoye chose to attack with all his strength to replace one of the opponent's Pokémon first to gain the lead!"

Seeing that Xiaoxia was still confused, she continued to explain, "Currently, Chouchumud has only suppressed Pidgeot, but there is no effective means of attack that can cause fatal damage to Pidgeot."

"But if Xiaoye chooses to ask Gengar for help, no matter which skill Gengar uses, as long as Muddy can dodge in time, the one who will be hit head-on will be the Pidgeot under him!"

Xiaoxia couldn't help but gasp when she heard this, and secretly cursed Aju for his insidiousness.

"If that's the case, Xiaoye's decision was correct." Xiaogang gradually understood and nodded, "If Chou Chou Ni chooses to assist in defense, Pidgeot can take this opportunity to break away from the suppression and regain the advantage in the air."

"If Muddy makes a last-ditch effort to attack Pidgeot, Gengar will also be able to defeat Furball. Although the two sides have reached a one-for-one deal on the surface, the initiative of the battle is in Xiaoye's hands again."

"Amazing..."

Xiaoxia blinked and murmured, "In just a few seconds, did Xiaoye think so much?"

"When fighting becomes an instinct, there's no need to think, right?" Fujino Sakura said with a smile.

"Just focus on the battle!"

----

The facts are just as Xiaogang said.

Faced with the extremely powerful Gengar, Maoqiu had no room to dodge at all.

He could only watch as Gengar's red eyes released two black light waves coming straight towards him.

Ah Ju crossed his arms across his chest and tapped his upper arms with his index fingers.

"Stinky mud, extremely poisonous."

The fur ball was knocked to the ground without any resistance, his eyes were dizzy and he lost his ability to fight.

On the other side, Muddy also stuffed a ball of mud into the mouth of the Pidgeot, making it extremely poisonous.

“Pidgeot——!” Xiaozhi clenched his fists, his pupils trembling slightly.

After a moment, he suddenly thought of something, his eyes lit up and he waved his hand and shouted, "Pipibi, use Fierce Storm!"

"It's impossible to cause any harm to Slimey when both wings are blocked..." Akiko said indifferently, but was interrupted by Xiaozhi.

"To the ground!"

"What?" Ah Ju was startled and said quickly, "Slap it to break it!"

But it was a step too late.

The Pidgeot bird struggled to stand up, making enough space for its wings to barely flap.

The next moment, under the influence of the strong wind, the Pidgeot and the stinky mud pressing on it were blown away together!

"good chance!"

Looking at Pidgeot flying back into the air, Xiaozhi shouted, "Lightning!"

Sakuya Ye smiled slightly at the rebound of Pidgeot and Satoshi, and also did not miss this excellent opportunity.

"Gengar, shadow ball."

"The body-fixing method."

No one expected that the stinky mud that was carried away would recover quickly and use skills in the air!

The immobilization technique successfully hit the defenseless Gengar!

The shadow ball in Gengar's hand gradually dissipated, and even though it tried hard to move its limbs, it was helpless.

Only Pidgeot is left to charge!

"The mountain is overwhelming."

Repeating the same mistake!

The close-fitting Pidgeot was once again heavily pressed down by the stinky mud.

Combined with the previous poisonous effect, the Pidgeot lay on the ground, gasping violently, no longer having the strength to struggle.

"Xiaozhi, take the Pidgeot back first."

Knowing that the Pidgeot had completely lost its high-altitude advantage and could no longer pose any threat to the Mud, Shuoya Ye suggested.

Xiaozhi gritted his teeth and nodded, raising his hand to take back the Pidgeot.

"Let's rest for a while."

"Is this the strength of a gym trainer..." Fujino Sakura raised her eyebrows slightly, "One against two and not at a disadvantage, instead suppressing Pidgeot."

Misty and Brock, who were once gym trainers, looked at each other silently and turned their heads away at the same time.

No, it’s just that Master Aju is too strong.

Right now, both Xiaozhi and Ayaya need to change Pokémon to fight.

Xiaozhi quickly made a decision and threw the Poké Ball.

"Charmander, please!"

Seeing this, Ayaya was about to throw the Poké Ball in her hand.

"and many more."

An arm came in front of her to stop her.

Aya withdrew her hand, "Brother..."

"Take out that Pokémon."

Ayaya's pupils dilated slightly, "W-what?"

"If you continue to use Pokémon of this level, it won't be a test for the challengers at all."

A-Ji retracted his arm and looked at Gengar who was circling around Mud, waiting for the trainer's order to attack at any time.

"I'll make an exception and allow you to use it today. Go and practice on your own after this battle."

"Yes!" The worry between Ayaya's brows faded away.

She excitedly pulled out a Poké Ball from the hidden hole in her ninja uniform, "It's been a long time since we last had a fight! Go ahead, Abe-monster!"

With a flash of white light, an extremely large snake-shaped Pokémon appeared on the field.

Its gaze swept across Gengar, who was frowning slightly, and Charmander, who was taking several steps back in fear.

Let out a roar.

A layer of cold sweat appeared on Shuo Gu Ye's forehead.

This Abe monster...

Very strong!

You can tell just by its shape and aura.

"Don't give up, Charmander!"

Xiaozhi was not disturbed at all and continued to attack as usual.

"Spray flames!"

Hearing this, Sakuya Ye also calmed down and cooperated with Xiaozhi in the attack.

"Will-o'-the-wisp." He signaled the target to Gengar with his eyes.

Gengar nodded with a slight turn of his head, then turned around and approached the opponent together with the jet of flames released by Charmander.

The jet of flames flew straight towards the Abraham monster.

However, Gengar turned around halfway, hovered in the air, and condensed several balls of dark purple flames to fly towards Mud.

Faced with two skills with completely different goals, Aju and Ayaya had no intention of issuing any orders.

"Great, I hit it!" Xiaozhi raised his arms and cheered, "Pursue the victory and use Grab!"

"No, retreat back Gengar!"

Sakuya Ye's gaze stayed on the two calm and composed people, and his eyelids twitched, causing Gengar, who was floating above the stinky mud, to retreat.

Seeing this, Xiaozhi quickly withdrew his order and asked Charmander to retreat.

The next moment, a bloody mouth broke out from the remaining flames and bit Gengar hard.

Fortunately, Gengar was prepared and escaped into the ceiling in time and escaped the disaster.

But looking at the Abra monster who seemed to be unharmed and full of energy, Shuoya Ye pursed his lips with a complicated expression.

The speed just now...

If he hadn't noticed something was wrong and issued an order in advance, Gengar would definitely not have been able to dodge this move.

He half-lowered his eyes and looked at Xiaozhi who was still attacking without knowing anything, then slowly moved his gaze to Aju who looked calm.

"Master Aju..."

"Ok?"

A-Jie looked over at the boy who raised the Poké Ball to take back Gengar with a bit of confusion.

“Is this venue strong enough?”

Aju was stunned for a moment, then quickly came to his senses and gave a positive answer.

"Don't worry, this is a specially made battle field. There won't be any problems even if it is hit by ten destructive death rays."

Shuoya nodded and changed the Pokémon on his waist.

He enlarged the Poké Ball and shook it a few times in his hand, revealing a faint smile.

"Gym Leader Aju has so much faith in my and Xiaozhi's abilities, so I can't let you down."

A little expectation flashed in Ah Ju's eyes, and he nodded calmly, "Let me see it for myself."

Sakuya threw the Poké Ball and shouted at the same time.

"Fossil Pterosaur! Use Rock Slide!"

----

"Oh? What a rare guest. What could have happened that made our great scientist Cole call me?"

"I agree to the cooperation you mentioned earlier."

"cooperate…?"

Shauriya paused, and it took her a long time to find the words she had said in the corner of her memory.

She raised her red lips and said slowly, word by word, "Okay, what are you going to do?"

"The BM project combines with the E-type machine to create the most powerful Pokémon army."

She frowned slightly and asked in a concentrated tone, "Are you serious? Which Pokémon can withstand such a transformation?"

"To be honest, I have tried to strengthen the E-type Mecha-Catalytic Evolution Pokémon a second time, but it only resulted in meaningless death."

"I have my own way."

"You have to tell me." Shauriya half-lay on the sofa, twisted her wrist, and looked at the newly done manicure. "Otherwise, I have to think carefully about the request for cooperation."

"..."

The silence lasted for about five minutes.

"The champion of the Kanto League..." Cole pinched his brows and said slowly, "No, I should say how the former champion got to that position. You should know."

The nails with fine sparkles paused in the air, and Shauriya suddenly sat up from the sofa, "Your little apprentice is back?"

Cole was silent for a moment. "I came back, but it had nothing to do with him."

"I tried to replicate the potion based on the notes he left behind. Although it's not as perfect as his and has some side effects, it's good enough for experiments."

"Really? Then I agree." Hearing that, Sha Ruiya lay back down, yawned and said, "That's it. I'll have someone send the stuff to you in a few days."

"Ah."

After a while, the woman kneeling beside him said timidly, "Sir, when did you mention cooperation with Lord Cole?"

Shauriya chuckled, "It happened several years ago. I didn't expect he could still remember it."

"Champions of the Kanto League..."

"Oh, didn't I tell you?" Shariya reached out and touched the girl's long khaki hair, just like stroking a cat.

"Evel, the champion has fallen."

"On the surface, the Four Heavenly Kings are eyeing him covetously, and secretly the masters of the various major gyms are pretending to obey but actually disobeying. It is not surprising that he will be pulled down from the throne."

"Although he was reluctant, after weighing the pros and cons, the Boss decided to give up this chess piece."
