Pokémon: The Journey Begins with a Cowherd

Chapter 181 Challenging the Crimson Dojo!

With the help of the Scorpion King, Qingyuan quickly arrived at a house that looked very old.

"This should be the Fuchsia Gym!"

"Seigon from Viridian City is here to challenge the Fuchsia Gym!"

Looking at the old-fashioned courtyard in front of me.

Qingyuan stood at the door and shouted loudly.

Ever since he arrived at this doorway, his superpowers have been constantly warning him.

In addition, there's the storyline where Ash and his friends directly enter this yard and get tricked badly by Kikyo's sister.

Therefore, Qingyuan, who was already on guard, would never have rushed in like a reckless fool.

Even Ash Ketchum, who has the protagonist's aura, almost fell off a cliff.

He doesn't think he has the same protagonist aura as Ash.

"Empty...cloth!"

After shouting that sentence, Qingyuan stood at the door and waited for a while.

Soon, a slightly angry-looking furry ball walked out of the yard.

"Kongbu! (Come with me!)"

Looking at the clueless Qingyuan in front of him, Maoqiu waved at him impatiently.

Then he turned and walked into the courtyard.

Looking at the disgruntled furball, Qingyuan smiled.

First, I took out the Pokédex and scanned it. After the scan, I followed the furball inside.

It seems to live under a large tree, and after dark it goes to catch small bug Pokémon that gather around lights. The bugs it uses as bait are only active at night, sleeping in places like tree hollows before that. It has eyes that never let any small prey escape, and it can use its eyes like radar to move around even in the dark.

As he listened to the electronic music coming from the Pokémon encyclopedia, Qingyuan's smile became even brighter.

It seems that his method of shouting directly at the door was correct.

This way, not only will A-Ju's sister not have the chance to play a prank on him.

He can also collect information about the furball, killing two birds with one stone.

Led by Maoqiu, Qingyuan soon arrived in front of Aju, the leader of the Fuchsia Gym.

"You're quite clever to have come up with this idea!"

Looking at Qingyuan who followed Maoqiu in, Aju said with a smile.

"You flatter me, the main problem is that I don't know ninjutsu!"

"It wouldn't be good if you broke in without permission and damaged some of your mechanisms!"

Hearing what A-Ju said, Qingyuan scratched his head and said somewhat awkwardly.

Judging from Aju's expression, he knows all about what his sister Aya has done.

In other words, Qingyuan is currently unsure of Aju's strength.

It's uncertain how many Heavenly King-level combatants A-Ju has.

Otherwise, Qingyuan, as an investigator for the alliance, would definitely impeach him for what his sister Aya had done.

As a gym leader, he simply allowed his younger sister to conduct these dangerous tests on the challengers who came to him.

Moreover, this happened without the trainer's knowledge.

If Qingyuan were to file a complaint, the Crimson Dojo would at least be forced to close for three months.

And the fines range from 50,000 to 100,000 Alliance Coins.

If things get even worse, Aya might have to eat free meals for a month or two.

However, considering Aju's formidable strength...

In addition, the opposing Rockets' mole was also involved.

Qingyuan ultimately chose to follow her heart.

In life, there are some things that you can only choose to back down from and see the bigger picture.

"Tch, that sounds nice, but it's not..."

"Shut up, Aya!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Aya, who was wearing a pink ninja outfit and had green hair, was about to retort.

But Ah Ju scolded him immediately.

"Um, Gym Leader A-Ju, may we begin the Gym Challenge?"

Seeing this, Qingyuan pretended not to hear Aya's words and asked Aju.

He knew exactly what Aya was going to say next; she would just call him a good-for-nothing or something.

But so what? Let's not even talk about how she didn't say it because of A-Ju's scolding.

Even if she told him, Qingyuan couldn't do anything about it.

Who can blame them when their older brother is the dojo master?

Moreover, this older brother of the other party will become one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Chengdu region in the future.

There's no way Qingyuan can afford to mess with Aju at this stage.

So I had no choice but to back down.

"I'm sorry, Aya's cultivation is still a bit lacking!"

"The battlefield is this way, let's go this way!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Aju apologized to him and then turned to lead the way for him.

Seeing this, Aya, thanks to Aju's authority, didn't say anything more to Qingyuan.

"Humph!"

After giving Qingyuan a cold snort, Aya turned around and followed Aju's steps.

Seeing this, Qingyuan shrugged helplessly and followed in the footsteps of Aju and her brother.

I have to say, Ah Ju is really rich.

Although this courtyard looks very old.

However, pavilions and towers are not uncommon in this courtyard.

Moreover, the courtyard was very large, and Qingyuan followed behind Aju and her brother for nearly five minutes.

Then, they went around the entrance of the courtyard to the battlefield.

Upon arriving at the battlefield, Qingyuan immediately took up the command position without the slightest hesitation.

Seeing this, Aju also stood opposite Qingyuan without hesitation.

"Excuse me, how many badges have you earned so far?"

Looking at Qingyuan in front of her, Aju was about to take out a Poké Ball.

Then, as if suddenly remembering something, he asked Qingyuan.

"I've already earned five badges!"

Upon hearing A-Ju's words, Qing-Yuan did not hesitate. He took out the badge box that Qiao Yi-Ran had given him, opened it, and showed it to A-Ju.

"Haha, it seems Mr. Qingyuan's strength is not to be underestimated!"

Seeing this, A-Ju lowered her left hand, which was about to reach for the Poké Ball on the left.

He picked up a Poké Ball from his right belt and said with a smile.

"I still need more guidance from Master Aju!"

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan replied very modestly.

"Now, let's begin the Gym Challenge between Viridian City's Seigen and Seigen's Seigen Gym Leader, using the Seigen Badge as stakes!"

"Three Pokémon can be used in this match. If all of one side's Pokémon are rendered unable to battle, the other side wins!"

"Furthermore, in this match, only the challenger can rotate their Pokémon!"

"Gym Leaders cannot do this; if they rotate, recalling a Pokémon will be considered as rendering it unable to battle!"

"The gym challenge begins now!"

Aya couldn't bear to see her brother chatting with this guy who was afraid to undergo her tests.

He stood directly on the sidelines of the battlefield and began announcing the rules of the game.

"Please release your Pokémon!"

After the rules were announced, they looked at A-Ju and Qing-Yuan, who hadn't released any Pokémon.

Aya spoke again.
