Elf System: I, the strongest champion of the league

Chapter 577

Whether it was the powerful wild Charizard, or the two powers of [Mega Evolution] and [Holy Fire].

All of these made Xiaozhi and Zhipeng extremely excited.

"Xiaozhi, calm down a little~"

Xiaoxia on the side said helplessly.

"Xiaochi, it seems that your travel speed is much faster than ours." Xiaogang said leisurely.

"After all... I don't like getting lost~"

Xiaochi chuckled.

"What's the matter, brother? We don't get lost often."

Xiaozhi immediately retorted.

"..."X2

Xiaoxia and Xiaogang chose to remain silent because they lacked confidence, which made Xiaozhi feel embarrassed.

"Okay, remember to cultivate Charizard's strength. I look forward to your performance in the [Silver Conference]. Don't let me down!"

Xiaochi said formally.

"Don't worry, brother, one day I will defeat you and become the world's strongest Pokémon Master!"

Xiaozhi said with passion, shouting out his lifelong ideal.

"Then, let's work harder~"

...

The next day

After Hinoki Town got rid of the drought, the local [Hinoki Gym] also reopened.

The first challenger of the gym reopening was Xiao Chi, who was temporarily staying at the Steel House.

Hinoki Gym, from the outside, looks like a plant protection garden, and inside is a dense forest, surrounded by trees and grass, which is a very suitable place for Bug-type Pokémon to live.

On the way to find the Hinoki Gym Master, Xiao Chi ran into several green caterpillars and Metapods hanging upside down on the tree with insect silk.

"I didn't expect a challenger to come so soon."

A boy wearing an insect-catching costume stood on the tree and looked down at Xiao Chi's arrival.

"I am the gym trainer of [Hinoki Gym], A Bi, known as the [Living Encyclopedia of Bug-type Pokémon]."

A Bi introduced himself proudly.

"Interesting, Abi, I'm here to get your [Insect Badge]."

Xiao Chi said leisurely.

"Everyone is welcome. This is the duty of the gym trainer."

After saying that, under Xiao Chi's somewhat helpless gaze, Abi slowly walked down the ladder.

"Pikachu, you can be the audience this time."

Xiao Chi pinched Pikachu's cheek and comforted him softly.

"Pika~"

Hearing this, Pikachu nodded.

After a while, Xiao Chi and Abi came to the battle site in the middle of the forest.

"From now on, Abi, the gym trainer of the Hinoki Gym, and Xiao Chi, the challenger from Pallet Town, will have a formal competition with badges as the stakes. The number of Pokémon used is limited to three."

The referee stood at the edge of the battle site and officially announced the rules of the game.

"You two, are you ready?"

"Have you ever heard that conquering a bug-type Pokémon is equivalent to conquering the whole world?"

Abi put his right hand on his waist and said leisurely.

"You said that yourself."

Xiao Chi complained.

"..."

Abi, who was originally full of pride, suddenly showed a trace of embarrassment. He didn't expect Xiao Chi to tell the truth so quickly.

"Then, the first one I'm going to take out is the silent warrior among the bug-type Pokémon."

Abi shouted and threw the Poké Ball in his hand.

"Go, String Ball!"

The white light dissipated, and String Ball with a light green head and abdomen and white horns on its head appeared.

"This is your first battle in the gym, do your best."

Xiao Chi said leisurely, gently throwing the Poké Ball in his hand.

The white light dissipated, and Slowpoke with a pink body, curly ears, and sharp eyes appeared.

"Slow~"

For his first battle, Slowpoke was inevitably excited and wanted to win for Xiao Chi as soon as possible.

"String, use Spin!"

White spider silk quickly spewed out from String's mouth and headed straight for Slowpoke.

"Slowpoke, use water gun."

Xiao Chi said lightly.

Slowpoke opened his mouth and suddenly released a thin stream of water.

"What?!"

Under A Bi's astonished eyes, the spider silk was directly penetrated by the water gun and hit String's body.

"Slowpoke, keep using the water gun."

Hearing this, Slowpoke immediately opened his mouth and continued to release a thin stream of water.

"String, use Spin to quickly avoid it!"

Taking advantage of the venue, String released spider silk neatly and used trees to avoid the attack of the water gun.

"Slowpoke, use telekinesis."

"Slow~"

Slowpoke's eyes released azure light, and he used telekinesis to easily control String's body.

"Oops!"

Seeing this, A Bi immediately realized that something was wrong.

Slowpoke waved its hands, and the ball of thread hit the ground uncontrollably.

"Ball of thread, use the poison needle now!"

A Bi quickly ordered.

The fallen String Ball quickly released countless poisonous needles in an attempt to hurt Slowpoke and thus escape the control of telekinesis.

Facing the attack of countless poisonous needles, Slowpoke decisively released the water gun to easily disintegrate it without Xiao Chi's command.

Then, Slowpoke controlled the body of String Ball and gradually approached it.

"Slowpoke, use the telekinetic hammer."

Seeing that String Ball entered the attack range, Slowpoke suddenly raised his head with a blue light.

String Ball, which was attacked by this, instantly fell to the ground with circles in his eyes.

"String Ball lost its combat ability, Slowpoke won."

The referee announced.

"Thank you for your hard work, String Ball."

A Bi comforted him and took out the Poké Ball to take back the String Ball that had fainted on the ground.

"I didn't expect my String Ball to be defeated by you like this."

"Next, my No. 2 player is the most arrogant and holy warrior known as the Bug Pokémon!"

After saying that, A Bi threw the Poké Ball in his hand with all his strength.

The white light dissipated, and the body took on a crescent shape, with a segmented tail.

"A very special opponent~"

Xiao Chi joked.

A Bi's Metapod had obviously been specially trained for defense, otherwise it would not have such a shiny skin.

In order to suppress the instinct of evolution, A Bi specially brought the [Stone of Invariance] for Metapod.

"Slowpoke, use Water Wave."

The water flow gathered at the mouth of Slowpoke, turning into a water wave.

In a flash, Slowpoke released it violently.

"Metapod, use the hardening trick."

The body of Metapod released white light, resisting the attack of the water wave head-on.

"Metapod, jump up and use impact!"

A Bi quickly ordered.

Metapod leaped up and quickly dived towards Slowpoke.

In addition to defense, A Bi also trained Metapod's attack and speed.

"Slowpoke, use Water Tail."

"Slowpoke——"

Hearing this, Slowpoke's tail gathered water, and then turned around and swung it.

"Bang——"

In the fierce conflict between the two sides, Slowpoke knocked Metapod back heavily.

Then, Slowpoke's eyes released azure light, and used telekinesis to control Metapod's body, knocking it back and forth on the ground.

After several rounds of consumption, Metapod finally fainted on the ground with circles in its eyes.

"Metapod has lost its ability to fight, and Slowpoke wins!"

The referee announced.
