Chapter 48
There is actually no suspense in the battle between Gu Xin and Red. Charizard has been poisoned, and Super Bad Star's double defense is too good.
Although the red Charizard is a double-sword type (excellent in both physical and special attacks), it is useless.
The next battle was actually torture for Chi Hong, and a normal person would most likely have given up by this time.
Because there is no possibility of winning at all.
However, Chihong's will is indeed tenacious. Although the situation has become extremely disadvantageous, he still has not given up and is looking for opportunities.
However, this undaunted persistence is not always rewarded.
During another poison attack, Charizard was knocked to the ground again by Superbad's venom blast, but this time Charizard did not stand up.
"Charizard loses the ability to fight, and Super Bad Star wins."
"Since the challenger Red has lost all four elves, the leader Gu Xin won this battle."
Xiaolan waved a small flag to announce the result of the battle.
Upon hearing this announcement, his red eyes flickered dimly, but then they became hot again, staring at Gu Xin eagerly.
"Will even Brother Chi lose..."
On the contrary, Xiaozhi, who was watching the battle, was shrugging his shoulders in great disappointment. He felt a little uncomfortable that the brother he had always admired and admired in his heart actually lost.
The Charmander next to Xiaozhi's feet was staring blankly at the fallen senior Charizard, not knowing what he was thinking.
"No trainer can guarantee that he will always win 100%, Xiaozhi."
Xiaogang patted Xiaozhi on the shoulder, smiled and comforted him, "How can there be a truly invincible trainer?"
"Even the champion who stands at the top of the league is not victorious in every battle, not to mention that Chi Hong is still so young, and ah~"
Xiaogang looked at Chihong with a complicated expression. In fact, Chihong was really a very scary new trainer.
But...
Xiaogang looked at Gu Xin again.
"Gu Xin is really strong, and his application of the poison system is so good. It's not surprising that Chi Hong will lose, but a very important thing for a trainer is whether he can learn from failures to make himself stronger. .”
"Xiao Zhi, do you think your brother is like this?"
Xiaogang suddenly asked.
"Of course!" Xiaozhi did not hesitate.
"That's right, I think the same thing as you." Xiaogang smiled.
"But..."
"It's nothing to worry about. These two guys are both monsters, so there's really nothing to worry about."
Xiaoxia curled her lips and interrupted Xiaozhi. Whether it was Gu Xin or Chi Hong, they were both the same monsters in Xiaoxia's eyes. It was no surprise who lost and who won.
"Speaking of which, do you think Guxin will give the Lotta badge to Chi Hong?"
Xiaoxia is more concerned about this issue now.
"Ah?" Xiaozhi was stunned and scratched his head in confusion.
"Brother Chi didn't succeed in the challenge, didn't he?" Xiaozhi asked his doubts.
As for gym badges, aren’t they trophies and certificates that can only be obtained by the challenger defeating the gym leader?
"Who told you that you have to defeat the gym owner to get the badge?" Xiaoxia replied angrily.
Isn't that true?
Three question marks appeared on Xiaozhi's head.
"Xiao Zhi, the gym is an alliance facility for training trainers. Fundamentally speaking, the gym is actually equivalent to an assessment."
Xiaogang explained patiently. As a trainer of the Dark Gray Gym, Xiaogang has a lot of say.
"The final decision on whether the gym badge should be given to the challenger lies with the gym leader. Defeating the gym leader and gaining the gym owner's approval is the most straightforward way, because this is a disguised way of proving one's strength to the gym owner."< br>
"But sometimes, when the gym leader agrees with the challenger, even if the challenger fails, the gym leader will still choose to give the challenger his own badge."
Xiaogang described it in detail. He had given badges to several newcomers he thought had potential like this before.
"There is no need to question Chihong's strength. Even if he did not defeat Gu Xin, Gu Xin could actually choose to give Chihong the badge, but the decision-making power rests with Gu Xin."
Xiaogang smiled and said, Xiaogang actually has no doubt at all that even if Chihong participates in the Quartz Conference with his current strength, the probability of winning is very high.
After all, both Guxin and Red were able to defeat Team Rocket leader Apollo.
But the requirement of some gym owners is that challengers must defeat themselves, so Xiaogang Xiaoxia is not sure whether Gu Xin will give the red badge.
"That's it." Xiaozhi suddenly realized.
"But..." Xiaozhi tilted his head. If Gu Xin really wanted to give the Lota badge to Brother Chi, would Brother Chi accept it?
On the field.
"A great battle, Chi Hong, you are the first powerful enemy I have defeated in a real sense."
"I'm very happy about this battle." Gu Xin walked up to Chihong, stretched out his hand and smiled.
Of course he was happy. He had a great time in this battle~
Next to Gu Xin was the Super Bad Star. This child was still the same as the Good Bad Star, shyly following Gu Xin.
"Thank you, I have benefited a lot."
Chi Hong held Gu Xin's palm with one hand, and pressed down the brim of his peaked cap with the other hand, habitually covering his eyes with shadows.
"I will challenge you again!"
Chihong rarely talked more outside of battle, and even if there was a shadow covering him, you could still feel the burning gaze in his eyes at this moment.
Although the result of this gym battle was not good, Chi Hong did not particularly care about the defeat. This was not the first time he lost to his peers.
When he just walked out of Zhenxin Town, he lost to his childhood sweetheart and old enemy Qinglu.
But does it matter? No, after traveling during this period, Chihong and the arrogant guy met four times by chance, maybe it was fate.
And every time they meet, they will inevitably fight. So far, their record is two wins and two losses.
From Chihong's point of view, defeat is not terrible, losing to others only means a little bit.
Not strong enough!
Real and unforgettable failure experience is actually an extremely precious experience, and it will not defeat him! It will only make him learn from this failure and become stronger!
Until you reach the top of Kanto! Until you become the top of the world!
"I'm looking forward to your next challenge."
Gu Xin looked directly into the red eyes that looked a little darker due to the shadow of the hat brim, and the smile on his lips seemed to be a little higher.
Then Gu Xin took out a delicate small box from his pocket. After opening it, there was a shining emerald green tree-shaped badge inside. The badge was small and beautiful, and the emerald green color was fresh and bright, full of vitality.
This is the gym badge of his Lota Gym.
"Although you did not defeat me, Chi, you are qualified to get this Lotta badge."
Gu Xin took out the Lota badge and handed it to Chi Hong.
Gu Xin has always considered himself a qualified gym leader. Although Chi Hong lost to him, Gu Xin knew very well that Chi Hong deserved this badge.
"..."
Chihong looked at the green Lota badge and fell into silence, not reaching out to pick it up.
"This is the first time I want to give away a badge after my 'transformation', Chi."
Gu Xin expressed his goodwill. He did not use this action to mock Chihong, but he meant it sincerely.
And this is the first badge he wants to give out after traveling through time!
"I can't have this badge..." Chi Hongyan shook his head concisely.
"I will go to your gym to challenge you next time, Gu Xin. I will defeat you openly and win your badge!"
His red and delicate face was serious and serious. This was the first time he said so much to a person he met on the first day.
And similarly, except for his childhood sweetheart, this is also the first time he has been defeated in front of other trainers of his generation!
"Oh?" Gu Xin raised his eyebrows.
They are indeed brothers. Although I had guessed that Chihong might not accept this 'free' badge, now it seems that Chihong, like Xiaozhi, also has the characteristic of 'not admitting defeat'.
"Since you said so, I'll look forward to it, but Chihong, it's very difficult to defeat me and get my badge."
Guxin took back the Lota badge and spoke teasingly with a half-smile.
Since Chihong has such determination, she can only be satisfied.
"Maybe you will never get my badge in this life."
"Guxin, I won't lose again next time!"
Chi Hong said solemnly.
After all, this was his first time fighting against such a powerful poison expert, and he had too little experience.
With the experience of this defeat, Chihong believes that if he is fully prepared and adjusts his tactics next time, he will win!
Isn't it just poison?
“It’s so impressive to be confident~”
Gu Xin seemed to praise and sigh at the same time. Maybe that's the case. If you want to truly set foot on the top of the mountain, without such a firm will to win, how can you defeat your opponent?
"I'll wait for you to come, but Chiyo~ the team I use next time may not be poisonous."
Guxin spoke slowly. He was not ready to kill poison-type Pokémon, even though he now loves poison-type Pokémon more and more.
However, Gu Xin does not forget his original intention, and he will also build teams with other attributes.
"??"
Two question marks appeared in the red pupils.
What does it mean? Aren't you a poison specialist? You actually have teams with other attributes?
