"Enough, stop bragging. Are you saying you can beat me?"
"I'm from the Cerulean Gym."
Brock's reaction to Xiao Chun's words was unclear for now, but Xiao Xia's anger was unstoppable. She furiously questioned Xiao Chun.
"Oh, Cerulean City, Water-type Pokémon. You know I've won many simulation battles, look."
Xiao Chun didn't react much to Xiao Xia's words, he just opened a machine nearby and brought up an interface.
On it, a battle screen appeared with two Pokémon: a Starmie on the opposing side and a Weepinbell on his side.
The Weepinbell attacked once, instantly knocking out the Starmie, and then the results screen appeared.
"What is this?! A simulation battle is a simulation battle, and I am me. Do you want to try?"
Xiao Xia was enraged by this inexplicably confident person. Could an ordinary Trainer be compared to a Gym Leader? A Gym Leader is responsible for protecting the city.
There's still a gap between machines and people, not to mention there's also a gap between Gym Leaders.
"I won't lose."
Xiao Chun was clearly very confident, as he had a secret weapon for dealing with Water-type Pokémon.
Xiao Chun led them to the central battle area and stood confidently on the other side.
"Xiao Xia, why do you have to fight Xiao Chun?"
Ash felt helpless about Xiao Xia's baseless anger, as there was no need for it at all.
"I don't know, it's just the situation. Now that it's come to this, I must get this off my chest!"
Xiao Xia truly had no good impression of such blindly confident people. After all, saying a Gym Leader was incompetent was like saying she was incompetent. She really wondered what a Gym Leader did all day.
Xiao Xia, with a very graceful motion, released Starmie. As soon as it landed on the field, Starmie seemed to sense its Trainer's anger and became very energetic.
"You can never win using a Water-type Pokémon in a place without water. I have a Grass-type Pokémon, Weepinbell, which is strong against water!"
Xiao Chun was very pleased to see the Water-type Pokémon Xiao Xia released. Not only does a Water-type Pokémon like Starmie lose a lot of its combat power when out of water, but he also had Weepinbell, which counters Water-type.
How could Weepinbell lose when it was right in their face?
Xiao Chun also released his goofy-looking Weepinbell.
"You underestimate the Cerulean Gym! Go, Starmie!"
Xiao Xia was already furious. Who told him that Water-type Pokémon must always stay in water?
Since it wasn't a Gym battle, there was no need to let the challenger go first. Xiao Xia immediately had Starmie attack.
Starmie's Water Gun instantly took out the Weepinbell, which was standing dumbfounded, waiting for commands.
"That's impossible, right? Weepinbell shouldn't be afraid of water."
Xiao Chun was somewhat questioning reality. He had defeated Starmie many times with Weepinbell in simulation battles, so why was he taken out by Starmie in a real battle?
While Xiao Chun was still doubting himself, a female voice came from behind him: "That's why you can't do it. Your opponent is the daughter of the Cerulean City Gym, so her Water-type Pokémon naturally isn't low-level."
Yu Teng Sheng Dai had appeared behind Xiao Chun at some point, along with the students who had previously been scared away by Yu Feng.
"You don't study hard enough. Seeing you, I find you an eyesore."
Yu Teng Sheng Dai looked at Xiao Chun with an arrogant expression. People like him, who didn't study hard enough, were an eyesore to her.
"Yu Teng Sheng Dai, is that you?"
"In eight years, you will be a beauty!"
The two's fawning expressions were already overflowing, even using honorifics.
"You?"
Yu Feng and Xiao Xia looked at Brock and Ash with very disdainful looks.
"These two have never been that respectful to me."
Xiao Xia's disdain was almost overflowing. Were these two guys implying she wasn't pretty? It was a good thing Yu Feng wasn't as superficial as these two, only caring about looks. This made Xiao Xia feel a little better.
Oh, young lady, you should know that the two women currently present weren't even as beautiful as he was, and his preference was for Gardevoir. It would be strange if he reacted.
"That's right, I am the first star of the beginner class at the renowned tutorial school, the Pokémon Research Class, famous throughout the world."
Yu Teng Sheng Dai, while intoxicated, recited her self-introduction, which was so awkward it could make one's toes curl enough to dig out a three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment, accompanied by very flamboyant gestures.
"Far, far away in the galaxy, the Andromeda radiating light is what people call me, but my true identity is Yu Teng Sheng Dai!"
Yu Teng Sheng Dai finally finished her narcissistic self-introduction. Yu Feng had already successfully dug out a three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment with his feet.
Yes, in a physical sense. The Indeedee next to Yu Feng had already started cleaning up the dust that Yu Feng had fixed in place.
"I hope my classmates are all my best rivals, that we spar with each other, respect each other, and together create the tomorrow of the Pokémon era."
Yu Teng Sheng Dai placed her hand on her chest, explaining her thoughts, then her tone shifted, and she said to Xiao Chun very seriously: "But what kind of state is this for you?"
Disregarding Xiao Chun's astonished expression, Yu Teng Sheng Dai's words pierced Xiao Chun's weak point like a sharp sword.
"I beg you, can you please get stronger? If you can't improve, then don't appear before me, leave here, goodbye."
Yu Teng Sheng Dai seemed to have said what she wanted to say, then turned and left without hesitation, leaving Xiao Chun, for whom the world seemed to have instantly darkened.
"Wait a minute, protecting weaker boys, that's what a true woman should do. I, Xiao Xia, as the world's number one beautiful girl, will never forgive your actions."
Xiao Xia already strongly disagreed with this system, and coupled with Ash and Brock's performance, Xiao Xia found Yu Teng Sheng Dai increasingly irritating.
Yu Teng Sheng Dai, with her back to Xiao Xia, also curled the corner of her mouth slightly and said to Xiao Xia without turning her head: "Heh heh, I won't go easy on girls."
Now it was Ash's turn to get nervous. He didn't know who to help. If he helped Xiao Xia, Yu Teng Sheng Dai was so cute. But if he helped Yu Teng Sheng Dai, Xiao Xia was his companion.
"What should I do now?"
Ash, desperately seeking a solution, looked at Brock, asking him what he should do, as these were all things he had to do.
"Ash, getting caught in a war between women has terrible consequences!"
Brock, speaking from experience, told Ash what terrible things would happen if he got involved in a fight between girls, even though he hadn't actually experienced such a thing.
Ash also gave Brock face by showing a surprised expression.
Yu Feng looked at the two in front of him, who had never had girlfriends but insisted on pretending to be very experienced, and was speechless.
