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

Chapter 75 Playing with Li Shuwen is as easy as playing with a Growlithe.

"Forever burning, Phil," was forcibly dragged to the battle arena of the Pokémon Center by Blue Feather, Blue Feather.

Since the battle arena was already in use, Lan Yu pulled him to the Pokémon Center's rest area to sit down first.

Lan Yu frowned slightly: "Tell me about your battle with Master Li."

Phil was a little embarrassed. "...I don't think that's necessary."

Lan Yu raised an eyebrow. "Hmm?"

Phil immediately chickened out, "I'll talk!"

Phil mentally organized his thoughts, hoping to salvage his image as much as possible.

"Um..."

"My first Pokémon was a Stunner."

Lan Yu looked at him in surprise, "Stun Deer, are you sure you're not joking? Challenging a Fighting-type gym and using a Normal-type Pokémon that's weak to it?"

Phil quickly explained, "Although the Stint is a Normal type, my Stint is extremely skilled at using Psychic type moves!"

Lan Yu smiled knowingly. "Tell me, what skills are you good at? What are some of your most impressive performances in competitions?"

Phil: "...Well...at the start, I had Stunning Deer use Mind Blast, but Bad Frog dodged it and instead used Brick Break to knock Stunning Deer down."

Lan Yu raised an eyebrow. Another starting lineup of Bad Frog?

Why is this guy getting the same treatment as me?

"Then... the scoundrel frog delivered another tile-splitting blow, and the startled deer was knocked down."

???

Lan Yu looked at him with disdain. "You mean, your Frightened Deer was defeated without even landing a single effective attack?"

"Is this what you mean by 'benefiting greatly'?"

Blue Feather suddenly realized that the natural bird's performance wasn't actually that bad.

Phil was embarrassed; the Stunning Deer's performance was indeed poor.

Lan Yu continued, "And then?"

Phil said with lingering fear, "Brother Yu, you have no idea how ruthless the Gym Leader's Delinquent is. I sent out Bronze Mirror, but I didn't expect it to launch three surprise attacks right away."

"Then I had a sudden inspiration and used Flash to blind him. As a result, the scoundrel managed to locate the Bronze Mirror Monster by relying on its senses, grabbed it, and then used Tile Break to smash it like crazy."

Lan Yu nodded. He did indeed have a deep memory of that delinquent frog that refused to collapse even after exhausting its strength.

It was no less effective than Onion Soldier defeating his Scyther in one move.

Phil continued, "Finally, it's my Infernape versus Primeape."

Blue Feather was utterly bewildered. "Intense Monkey? You're not worthy!"

Phil said weakly, "It's probably because the Infernape of the guy at Full Speed ​​learned Flare Blitz from a Magiamon, so the gym leader sent out a Magiamon to face my Infernape."

"It wasn't until I faced Infernape and saw its unreasonable power boost that I realized how badly that Full Speed ​​ahead guy had fooled me!"

Lan Yu also recalled the battle between the Tanabata and the Inferno Monkey.

He also felt a sense of powerlessness.

How exactly do you defeat that fiery monkey?

Lan Yu clenched her fingers, feeling a surge of irritation, just as the battle outside was drawing to a close.

Never mind! Let's beat up Forever Burning first and vent our anger!

"Let's go have a fight."

Phil's eyes widened. "No way, Brother Yu! Why don't you tell me about your battle with the gym leader?"

Lan Yu smiled slightly, "You'll know once you fight me. We'll both use the same lineups we use to challenge the Veiled Gym. Don't worry, I'll only use the first three Pokémon."

Unable to avoid it, Phil had no choice but to bite the bullet and fight Blue Feather.

Meanwhile, at the other side of the Curtain Dojo, Li Meining approached Li Shuwen, who was preparing the raw materials for the calming incense that Brother Sang needed.

"Brother, you took me camping... wilderness survival training! When are we going to do that?"

Li Shuwen smiled and said, "Don't rush. After I've processed these materials, I'll call Baicai to see when she'll have time. Then I'll go buy the materials and invite Shinji."

"If you're free, let Riolu train with the black iron ball. You and Teddy Bear can also work together to correct your problem of not being able to control the power of your attacks."

Li Meining nodded. "Okay, remember to call me soon!"

After confirming that Li Meining had run far away, Li Shuwen took a deep breath, took out his phone, and called Bai Cai.

While Cynthia was drinking jasmine tea with her best friend at a seaside villa, she took out her phone. Her best friend's eyes lit up when she saw the name on it.

"Looks like the idea I gave him last time was good; he's learned to take the initiative now."

Cynthia glared at her. "How dare you say that? What a terrible idea you gave me!"

Cattleya smiled. "Aren't you going to answer? They must be getting impatient."

Cynthia smoothed her hair. "Let him panic! Who told him to use Dragon Dance seven times!"

However, Gadriya reached out and pressed the answer button directly.

Cynthia immediately changed her voice, "Hey, Shuwen, what's up with the call?"

Li Shuwen quickly replied, "It's about the spring outing we made last time. I was wondering if you're free this weekend? If so, I'll schedule it for the weekend."

Cynthia sounded troubled. "This weekend? Probably not. I'll have a lot of work at the research institute."

Li Shuwen felt a little disappointed. "Alright then, when you take a vacation, we'll go for a spring outing to Cuiyun Mountain together."

"When the time comes, Cabbage, you absolutely must call me in advance!"

Cynthia said, "Okay, no problem. By the way, how's your job as a gym leader going?"

Li Shuwen's eyes lit up. She cared about me, did she like me?

"That's great, four challengers have already come to try and challenge us."

Cynthia smiled gently, "Then you must work hard and strive to become a true curator as soon as possible. I have to go now, the professor asked me to go and translate ancient documents."

Li Shuwen nodded quickly, "I'll definitely try my best! Baicai, remember to let me know as soon as you get a break!"

Cynthia hung up the phone, picked up her teacup, and took a sip to moisten her throat.

Cattleya raised her teacup, looked at the amber-colored tea inside, and smelled the jasmine fragrance.

"When you came to my place before, you always drank the black tea that I brought back from the Unova region, but this time you're drinking the jasmine tea that he gave you."

Cattleya then looked at the pastries on the table.

"Even the snacks were made by him himself. Why didn't you go when he invited you to a picnic?"

Cynthia picked up a peach blossom pastry. "Who said I'm not going?"

Cattleya's eyes widened. "Then why didn't you say you were busy?"

Cynthia smiled. "What do you know? It would be so boring for me to just agree like that. But I'm telling him now that I don't have time."

"I'll appear directly in front of him at the Veiled Dojo this weekend. The sheer joy and surprise he'll feel at that moment will overwhelm him!"

"This spring outing will be completely under my control! If I say go east, he won't dare go west."

Cattleya's eyes lit up, and she clapped her hands. "It has to be you, Cynthia! Playing with Li Shuwen is as easy as playing with Growlithe. You even put strategy into your relationship."

"I'm going on this spring outing too. I want to see how you're going to mess with him this time!"

Cynthia reached her hand to Gadria's waist and launched a tickling attack!

"You brat, what are you saying!"

Cattleya burst into laughter, "I'll never do it again! I was wrong! I was wrong, I was wrong!"

Cattleya begged for mercy repeatedly before Cynthia finally let her go.

Gadriya lowered her head. "Hmph, Cynthia, you just wait. I'll remember this grudge."

When the day of the spring outing arrives, watch how I guide Li Shuwen to pursue you and get revenge for today's grudge!
