Wind and Dew: Huh?

Perhaps it's because the Fukiyori Dojo and the Fukiyori Freight Center are located together.

and so.

The dojo is not located in Fukiyoshi City, but on the outskirts of the city.

therefore.

The next morning.

When Natsuki and Haruka approached Fuyuki City, the first thing they saw was the long airport runway and the Fuyuki Gym next to it.

Considering that we still need to go to the Pokémon Center after the gym challenge,

and so.

The two decided to head into the city after finishing the gym challenge.

"Hello, I'm Natsuki, who has booked a gym challenge for this morning!"

"Okay!"

The staff member visibly panicked.

"Just a moment please!"

As he spoke, the staff member immediately ran quickly into the dojo.

And a few minutes later.

A mature woman with messy hair appeared in front of Xia Mu.

Brown skin, and a revealing outfit that rivals Xiao Ju'er's.

Hot pants, knee-high boots, and an exposed belly button that makes you feel like you might catch a cold.

All of this reminded Xia Mu of Xiao Ju'er in Raven City.

No wonder these two are such good friends...

At this time.

Looking at the challenger.

Feng Lu's expression also looked slightly awkward.

Yesterday, some jerk changed the direction of the race route signs, and as a result, all the participants ended up in Fanba City.

I ended up flying back and forth between Fanba City and Fukiyo City late at night.

I haven't been asleep for long.

As a result, the challenger came to the door, and I had to leave my warm bed.

Fortunately.

With only two badges, the battle should be over quickly!

Although the challenger's name felt somewhat familiar.

But Fenglu had no time to think about it.

All she wanted to do right now was finish the fight as quickly as possible and go back to bed.

"Next!"

"The battle between Challenger Natsuki and Gym Leader Fuuyu in the Blowing Gym is about to begin!"

"Three Pokémon are used. The match ends when all of one side's Pokémon are unable to battle!"

"Also, only challengers are allowed to change their Pokémon!"

"Alright, let the battle begin!"

With the referee's whistle.

Fenglu immediately dispatched her baby team.

"Go, you rolling bats!"

"Go, Green Vine Serpent!"

To allow the Green Vine Serpent to become familiar with its evolved body, Xia Mu decided to give it more screen time during this period.

However, this is not the case for Fenglu, who is unaware of this.

Hum hum!

As expected of a novice trainer with only two badges, he doesn't even care about basic type advantages and disadvantages.

It seems this battle will be over soon!

then.

"Magic Leaf!"

According to the rules of the dojo challenge, Natsuki made the first move.

"despair!"

Although the rolling bats on the other side look incredibly weak.

However, the difficult gym challenges during this period made Snake more cautious.

and so.

Upon hearing Xia Mu's command, the Green Vine Snake immediately unleashed its full power.

Both the speed of skill release and the speed at which the magic leaves fly are currently at their limits.

but.

Unlike the Green Vine Snake.

Although the Rolling Bat is a Pokémon of Wind and Dew.

But after all, he is still a member of the baby team.

Just as the rolling bats were skillfully trying to increase the distance and flapping their wings to prepare to avoid the attack of the green vine snake...

But then they discovered...

eh?

What just got on my face?

And then...

clap clap clap!

The rolling bats never expected the magic leaf to fly so fast.

then.

All the leaves struck the rolling bats' faces with precision, successfully inflicting full damage.

Not a single leaf fell.

The plane crashed directly after the swirling bats.

"despair?"

The referee was also taken aback by the questioning looks from Qing Teng She and Xia Mu.

Then, seeing the swarming bats whose eyes were already glowing like mosquito coils, the referee suddenly waved his hand.

"The rolling bats are incapacitated; the Green Vine Snake wins!"

Ok?

Feng Lu stared blankly at the unconscious bat.

I sensed something was wrong.

but.

"After all, it's a starter Pokémon, so it's only natural that it's a bit stronger..."

With that, Fenglu sent out a second Pokémon.

Bean Pigeon!

then.

The bean pigeon, whose right claw was grabbed by the rattan and slammed to the ground, let out a mournful cry.

"Bean Dove is unable to fight; Green Vine Snake wins!"

Feng Lu raised an eyebrow.

Wow, he's actually a genius trainer?

then.

Fenglu sent out a shuttlecock flower that was about to evolve as the grand finale.

Despite being sleep-deprived and having an unclear mind, Kazeru is still treating Natsuki as a novice trainer.

therefore.

Although she had already been defeated by two opponents, Feng Lu simply replaced the duckling in the baby team with the former captain of the baby team who was about to evolve into Shuttlecock Cotton.

then.

"Throw it down!"

"Throw it down!"

boom!

Looking at the shuttlecock flower that had been utterly defeated by the green vine snake, Feng Lu blinked.

No?

How did he get wiped out in a 1v3?

I clearly have the advantage in terms of attributes!

"Since the shuttlecock is unable to fight, the winner is the challenger, Natsuki!"

The referee suddenly waved his hand.

The Fukiyori Dojo battle has now come to an end.

but.

This seemingly effortless battle, however, gave Xia Mu and Qing Teng She a sense of unreality.

The two exchanged a glance.

They both saw the suspicion in each other's eyes.

then.

Snapped!

"Ah~"

Seeing Xiaoyao jump up while clutching her bottom, the Green Vine Snake withdrew its vine whip.

"despair!"

"Looks like it's true~"

Xiaoyao: ? ? ?

"No, even if you have doubts, shouldn't you be arguing with yourselves?!"

But Natsuki and the Green Vine Snake completely ignored Haruka's reaction.

"After all this time, I still..."

Xia Mu hugged the green vine snake tightly.

"This kind of relaxed battle is simply the paradise I've always dreamed of..."

This kind of battle is commensurate with one's own treatment; this is a pure baby battle.

This moved Xia Mu to tears.

Thinking back to the many battles in the past where the weak triumphed over the strong...

When Xia Mu went out to challenge the dojo, he originally aspired to beat up kindergartens and kick nursing homes, but now when he looks back, he is filled with hardship.

and so.

Xia Mu's eyes shone as he looked at the woman who had treated him so well.

"Master Fenglu, you're such a good person!"

???

Feng Lu, who was about to congratulate Xia Mu and present him with a badge after taking back the shuttlecock flower, was taken aback.

No, is there something wrong with you?

On one hand, they're saying it was the easiest battle, and on the other hand, they're praising me as a good person?!

Both scolding and praising?!

I've lived this long and I've never even heard of such a weirdo, let alone seen one...

Feng Lu suddenly paused, stunned.

Then I remembered the complaints I heard from my best friend Xiaoju when we talked on the phone not long ago.

"What did you say your name was again?"

"I am Natsuki!"

Xia Mu gave a thumbs up, revealing a set of white teeth.

"Where are you from?"

"Raven City!"

Looking at Xia Mu's cheerful smile, Feng Lu blinked.

"So you're the weirdo who wanted to use a high-level Clay Golem to attack a pet?!"

???

This time, it was Xia Mu's turn to look at Feng Lu with a surprised expression.

No.

Losing is losing, how can you resort to personal attacks?!

Therefore, Xia Mu immediately retorted:

"That's exactly the treatment I deserve as a novice trainer!"

but.

"Forehead......"

After confirming that Xia Mu was indeed the oddball Xiao Ju'er had mentioned, Feng Lu recalled her conversation with Xiao Ju'er that day, and her expression froze.

That day.

After hearing that Kiku had sent out the second team of the gym but still lost to a novice trainer.

Feng Lu laughed wildly.

When Xiaoju tried to persuade him that "that's not an ordinary newcomer," he scoffed and declared:

"When he comes to challenge the gym, I'll definitely show that kid how powerful the Ephemeral Gym is. Even if I use my Pokémon, I definitely won't lose..."

But now.
