Pokémon: I just became a Gym Leader, and Cynthia proposed to me.

Chapter 139 No Destruction, No Construction

As dusk fell, the mighty chicken, the hero of today's challenge, stood behind Li Shuwen, its eyes fixed intently on the feast Li Shuwen was preparing to reward him with.

Since the strong chicken performed so well, Li Shuwen naturally used all his culinary skills to prepare a dish.

There are a total of eighteen dishes, allowing the strong chicken to experience as many flavors as possible.

While these human foods do taste better, elven foods made with tree berries are still more effective at enhancing strength.

It's okay to eat it occasionally to change things up.

Li Shuwen rubbed the strong chicken's head and smiled gently.

"You really went to great lengths to be the first to eat the food."

The mighty rooster proudly raised its head, "Chamo!"

He's not afraid of any hardship when it comes to delicious food!

Because their appetite is increasing, in order to meet the body's nutritional needs.

Li Shuwen specially created the nutritional paste, referencing Fighting-type Pokémon.

It can save time on cooking and eating.

Most importantly, let Li Meining take a big jar with her on her trip.

In the event of a crisis, this can meet Li Meining's nutritional needs for three days.

The formula was also given to Shinji.

Li Meining has finished eating; Shinji can make her another jar.

After the meal, Li Shuwen received a phone call from Lei Si.

"The two little ones have already joined me, and I'm taking them to challenge the battle facilities while also taking them to challenge the gyms."

Li Shuwen nodded. "Lei Si, how many combat facilities have you captured so far?"

Lei Si revealed a badge collection box containing three badges. "I've already defeated three of them. It's definitely much harder than the gym."

"My Pokémon have also grown during the challenges, and I should be able to successfully obtain the seven Frontier Symbols and become the Frontier Brain of the Sinnoh region."

"At that time, my battle facility will be located near Veiled City, to keep you company."

Li Shuwen smiled and said, "Then you'll have snatched all my challengers away."

Lei Si smiled and said, "Speaking of challengers, how could I possibly beat you? I've heard of Li Shuwen's reputation as the Midas Touch all over the Kanto region."

Li Shuwen was somewhat embarrassed. "How did it get spread to the Kanto region?"

Lei Si excitedly explained, "Of course, it's all thanks to the Trainer Forum. I heard that the Pokémon League is planning to hold a tournament for Gym Leaders from the four major regions."

"Gather the gym leaders from Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh and hold a ranking tournament based on gym attributes."

"Therefore, many people on the forum are discussing which region's curator is the most skilled."

"Awen, work hard and try to win the title of the number one Fighting game in all four regions, and bring glory to Sinnoh."

Even though it's just a Fighting-type dojo, Asahi and Fujiki are not easy to deal with.

Li Shuwen raised an eyebrow: "Was a specific time mentioned?"

Lei Si shook his head. "It's all just rumors. It's not even certain whether it will actually happen. If the head of the museum goes up to such a grand event, he'll either become famous or make a fool of himself."

"The Pokémon League probably intends to use this method to filter out and shut down some of the mediocre gyms."

Lei Si was actually a little worried about Li Shuwen. If there really was such a competition, the Veil Dojo might be in a dangerous situation.

Upon receiving the news, Lei Si immediately called Li Shuwen.

Lei Si's words did indeed make Li Shuwen feel a sense of urgency.

There were Kommo-o, Gallade, Primeape, Sirfetch'd, Croagunk, and Combusken.

Li Shuwen is not worried about being removed from the Curtain Dojo.

He really hoped to take this opportunity to spar with fighting masters like Ah Si and Teng Shu.

If honed properly, the Scaled Dragon might be able to evolve in the arena.

In the game, the difference in evolution levels between Kommo-o and Kommo-o isn't that significant.

This should also have some reference value in real life.

Of course, the scaled dragon has only been evolving for a little over a month, so Li Shuwen doesn't expect it to evolve any further in a short time.

Li Shuwen did not believe that the scaled dragon could evolve even within a year.

Like Ash catching Goomy in the Kalos region, and his rapid evolution from Goomy to Goodra.

Li Shuwen dared not even think about it.

That's more like Gooey Po's innate talent.

And then there's Ash's protagonist aura.

Lei Si waved his hand and said, "Once they get their first badges, I'll let them travel on their own. It's not good for their growth if they always stick by my side."

Li Shuwen nodded. "I agree."

Lei Si smiled. "The next battle facility is near Vermilion City. They'll have to challenge the Vermilion City Gym. Lt. Surge is no pushover."

Li Shuwen felt that Lt. Surge was doing it on purpose, sending a group of rookie trainers with Pokémon like Rattata and Pidgey to challenge him.

This annoyed Ma Zhishi.

Since the gym leader couldn't refuse, he went a little harder.

It will deter those overconfident trainers.

Li Shuwen, being a gentle person, treats even the weakest trainers kindly and guides them in the direction of their growth.

That's going to be tough!

"Alright, I need to go train my Pokémon and fight for the Gym Type Ranking you mentioned."

Lei Si nodded, "Okay, I'll contact you later. I also need to work hard for the fourth battle facility."

Upon arriving in the backyard, the scaled dragons had already begun sparring.

However, for some reason, Kommo-o's opponent became Gallade.

Furthermore, Gallade uses Brick Break to attack, while Kommo-o uses Iron Defense to defend.

This doesn't seem to be part of the training he arranged.

Li Shuwen stepped forward and asked, "Morpho Gallade, what are you training?"

Only after asking did I learn that the scaled dragon felt its scales were not strong enough for defense.

Gallade, however, felt that his elbow blade lacked offensive power.

A spear and a shield—this is a perfect match, a clash of equals.

Just then, Incineroar wanted a different opponent.

After fighting Kommo-o, Infernape felt that its rage level was rising more slowly.

It's a good time to try Sirfetch'd. It seems that Sirfetch'd has become much stronger since Primeape trained with Gallade.

The Farfetch'd'Side is a versatile unit that combines offense and defense, providing a truly unique experience for Infernape.

After fighting for a while, the scaled dragon looked at the white marks on its scales.

That won't do.

Kommo-o chose Gallade as its opponent.

It's because Gallade has the strongest attack power in the entire team.

Kommo-o hopes that Gallade can be like Garchomp.

Smash his dragon scales.

Kommo-o'-lane had a sudden inspiration, recalling the scene of its last battle with Garchomp.

Kommo-o looked at Gallade and shouted excitedly.

Gallade paused for a moment, then nodded.

After watching the sparring between the Bad Frog and the Sticky Dragon, Li Shuwen turned around and looked back.

???

!!!

Why is Kommo-o starting the Dragon Dance, and Gallade starting the Sword Dance?

"Scaled Dragon, what do you want?"

Gallade completed three sword dances, and its aura solidified, the silvery-white energy enveloping its entire body like armor.

The scaled dragon then completed seven dragon dances, with purple energy forming a dragon-shaped vortex.

Gallade's body has been enhanced to some extent through bodybuilding.

But it's still not as good as Garchomp.

I can't do four sword dances.

Gallade's elbow blade suddenly appeared, a holy white light flowing around its tip.

Holy Sword!

The scaled dragon raised its head and let out a roar that pierced through the clouds and split rocks, with terrifying purple light bursting from between its scales.

Reverse scale!

Suddenly activating its reverse scale state, the scaled dragon's eyes turned crimson, and its dragon-type energy went completely berserk.

Gallade's Holy Sword strike contained the power of a triple sword dance, and even the air itself seemed to rip out a mournful wail.

The scaled dragon neither dodged nor yielded, its arms, covered in dragon scales, crossed into a cross shape, and it crashed head-on into the holy sword light.

"boom--!!!"

The moment the white and purple energies collided, a blinding light engulfed the entire battlefield.

As the aftershocks of the energy dissipated, the scales on the armored dragon's arms were completely shattered, and dark red dragon blood dripped from its claws.

Gallade was knocked back more than ten meters, its feet leaving two charred furrows, and its trembling hands testified to the terrifying impact it had just suffered.
