Integrate into the fairy world

After finally escaping from the mouths of that group of electric bugs, Lei Ze couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

This cave adventure can really be described as a life-and-death experience, and almost all of the six Pokémon that I brought with me were exhausted.

After finally escaping, the first thing Raize thought of was to check the health of his Pokémon.

Don't doubt Lei Ze's level in this area. After all, my mother is also a quasi-senior breeder. Although Lei Ze's breeding experience is not as good as hers, he has learned some simple care.

Watching Razor checking the physical condition of several of his Pokémon, the uncle from the exploration team became curious and planned to walk closer to observe the Pokémon that Razor was holding.

Upon closer look, he discovered that there was a rare Pikachu in the kid's team, so he jokingly said to Razor.

"Your Pikachu is really lucky. He didn't get drained of his power by the electric bugs in this situation!"

"How do you say this?"

Seeing Lei Ze’s puzzled look, the uncle smiled and gave him some scientific advice.

"Pokémon like Electric Bug and Electric Spider feed on electricity. They usually stay in caves with electric equipment and have no worries about food and drink. But when they encounter a trainer with electric Pokémon, they will also attack the trainer's electric Pokémon for the sake of novelty. What do you think? They are a group of interesting little guys!"

After hearing the uncle's explanation, Lei Ze didn't feel their cuteness at all. Instead, he strongly condemned their behavior of having nothing to do after eating.

In order to avoid the electric bug's pursuit for the past seven days, he had not had the time to investigate whether this electrical cave really had the ability to allow Pokémon to evolve.

It can be said that nothing was gained. Of course, if combat experience is counted, that is another matter.

"Alright, little brother, I won't tease you any more. I brought the team here this time just to survey the topography of this cave. Now our work is almost done, and later there will be a special researcher to study this tourmaline cave."

Hearing what the other party said, Lei Ze realized that the other party's team really had a lot of geological exploration equipment. Moreover, these people were in a hurry to dismantle and pack the large instruments one by one, and Lei Ze gradually believed what the other party had just said.

"So uncle, do you plan to go back directly after completing the mission?"

"Yes, young man. It seems that you should be a trainer as well. Let me introduce myself formally. I am Kiku-san, the gym trainer of the Hanba Gym."

The middle-aged man gave his name without hesitation, and the staff around him put down their work and watched over here with an expression of watching a good show.

"Looking at the direction you're traveling, your next destination should be my gym. If you don't mind, I can let you go with my team. When the time comes, I promise that I will have a gym match with you as soon as possible."

Boss Ju looked at the slightly embarrassed young man in front of him. Although he had just escaped from danger, he clearly noticed that the young man's eyes changed after hearing his name.

That is the proof of the burning soul of a trainer who longs to fight against the strong. Even though Boss Kiku is not young anymore, he still can't stand this hot-blooded young man.

When Lei Ze learned that the uncle in front of him was Boss Ju, he agreed to go with them without hesitation.

"It's just that I still need to properly adjust my team before challenging the gym. After all, a hasty battle doesn't seem very polite to Mr. Kiku."

On the way back, Lei Ze thought it over again and again and finally spoke out what was in his heart.

The other party expressed his understanding of Razor's explanation. This was a way for a trainer to show respect to the gym trainer, and he had no objection to it.

Just like that, Razor and Pikachu, who had been chased by the Electric Bug for seven days and seven nights a few days ago, then entered the fast lane and arrived in Fanba City.

However, Lei Ze's road to challenging the gym was not as simple as he imagined. The gym apprentice Masao who stayed behind in the gym learned that Boss Kiku had easily agreed to fight the former. The imbalance in his heart made him stand up directly and express his desire to challenge Lei Ze in a duel.

"Since you want to challenge Boss Ju, you have to show your strength!"

Listening to the other party's somewhat exasperated tone, Lei Ze knew that he was making people hate him.

Although Boss Kiku on the side also said that there was no need to go on with this match, Lei Ze knew that if he did not show some strength at this time, he might be targeted by this guy called Zhenfu in the later stage.

If the gym tournament turns out to be ugly again, this guy will probably keep Razor awake during his stay in Hoba City.

"Since you want to fight me, I have no choice but to fight you to the end!"

Lei Ze actually knows a lot about this kind of guy. After all, everyone who comes to the gym to be an apprentice is attracted by the personal charm of the gym trainer.

In their view, it is normal for them to feel unhappy that the gym trainer they respect easily agreed to the challenge.

Masao was the first to send out Diglett. As the opponent's strongest Pokémon, Masao had great confidence in the strength of his Pokémon.

"Let's fight one-on-one to see who wins, so that you won't be accused of bullying me later!"

The other party looked arrogant, and it was clear that he had defeated Razor. However, Razor was not interested in this guy. He was more concerned about finding the Pokémon Center. Only by restoring his Pokémon to its peak condition as soon as possible could he focus on the upcoming gym challenge.

In order to prevent this guy from causing trouble for himself later, Lei Ze decided to give him a little shock.

As Razor's Poké Ball opened, the metal monster that had appeared frequently in the past two days appeared again.

When Zhenfu saw that his opponent sent out an evolution of the Iron Dumbbell, his brows frowned slightly.

"It looks like a strong enemy. Screwmouse uses Mud Throw to disrupt the opponent's vision and then uses Metal Claw."

When the Screw-Shrew heard the command, he inserted his arm into the ground, and immediately two clumps of mud came towards the metal monster. However, the metal monster was not a target that would just be beaten. Seeing that the other party was actually playing dirty tricks on him, the red cold pupil narrowed, and the telekinesis was activated, and the Pokémon that was about to rush over was fixed in place along with the mud he threw.

Boss Ju, who was watching the battle on the side, also nodded, and highly approved of the metal monster's combat response.

"It's our turn now. Metal monster, we'll also use Metal Claws to show the other party how to use this move."

"Being towered!"

The metal monster shouted in response, then used the bullet fist punching technique to strike out with a metal claw, defeating the screw rat, which was completely unable to move.

Before Masao could react to Metal Monster's actions, his strongest Pokémon fell to the ground.

"Come back, Screwmouse!"

Feeling disappointed, he had no choice but to take back his Pokémon. It was obvious that being knocked out instantly made the young man very depressed.

Seeing that the other party was in a bad mood, Boss Ju stepped forward and comforted him.

After all, Boss Kiku was very supportive of this apprentice. He often heard the administrator talk about him, and this child was the only one who studied the hardest when he was not in the gym.

As a person with experience, Mr. Ju naturally doesn't mind spending more time to guide this mentally immature boy, as he is a serious student.

Only after the apprentice was pulled back from the shadow of failure did he look at Lei Ze again.

Looking back and forth between Metal Monster and Razor, Boss Kiku found that the other Pokémon still had many injuries that had not healed. Thinking back to the simple conditions of his camp in the past two days, it seemed that it was not enough for the other Pokémon to recover to its peak condition.

"Young man, I can see that you and your Pokémon still need some adjustments. Like we said when we got here, I will continue to stay in the gym for two days. During this time, you are always welcome to visit me at the gym!"

After receiving the other party's repeated promises, Lei Ze was relieved. After all, his Pokémon had been suffering from injuries during this period, and it was not easy to recover easily. He needed to get his Pokémon back to the Poké Center as soon as possible for Miss Joy's professional treatment.

If it was just one night, it would obviously not be enough, and it was not realistic to fight against Boss Kiku with that kind of mental state. Therefore, when Lei Ze learned that he could challenge again after the Pokémon recovered, he was so happy.
