Knights of the Elf World

Chapter 274: Enjudo Gym, Xiaosong Appears

"Stop!" Just when Xichen's hand was about to touch Mina-kun, a voice came again from above the stairs. Xichen looked up and saw that it was a young man with a headband, who was looking at this side with heavy breathing. It seemed that he had rushed over, and there was a well-trained Gengar beside him.

"What are you going to do to my friend? And why is the emissary of the Ho-Oh next to you?"

"Xiao...Matsu..." Mina-kun looked at Xiaomatsu and said with difficulty.

"People always have to pay the price for what they say, that's all." Xichen said lightly, but he also withdrew his hand that was stretched out to Mina Jun. Feeling the oppression disappear, Mina Jun breathed deeply.

"Brother Xichen? Why are you here? Aren't you going to the Bell Tower?" At this time, Xiaozhi and others also appeared and looked at Xichen in surprise.

"Woo~" Seeing more and more people coming, the three sacred beasts bowed slightly to Xichen, and then quickly left.

"Sui-kun..." Mina-kun said unwillingly as he watched the Suicune he had been thinking about day and night disappear before his eyes. Then he closed his eyes and fainted.

"Mina-kun!" Seeing this, Komatsu hurried over and looked at his friend with a worried look on his face.

"He's fine." Xichen looked at Mina-kun who fell to the ground with contempt in his eyes. He still wanted to get Suicune's approval?

"Tell me your identity, or you will be asked to leave Yuanzhu City. I still have this right." Seeing that Mina-kun had just fainted from exhaustion, Xiaosong immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He then protected Mina-kun behind him and looked at Xichen with a vigilant face. He felt unprecedented pressure from Xichen. Although the other party had an unclear relationship with the three sacred beasts, he still had to consider the citizens of Yuanzhu City. This was his duty as a gym trainer in Yuanzhu City!

Xichen just looked at him indifferently. At this moment, Nancy also came to Xichen's side using instant teleportation and looked at Xiaosong with a beautiful frown.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Komatsu! There may be some misunderstanding here!" Xiaozhi and others hurriedly ran between the two and acted as peacemakers.

"Brother Xichen, this is Mr. Xiaosong, the gym trainer of Yuanzhu Gym and the inheritor of the Bell Tower Clan. He is not a bad guy!"

"Mr. Xiaosong, he is Xichen, our companion and the challenger of the Johto Alliance. Based on our understanding of Xichen, he will not stir up trouble for no reason!"

Xiaozhi and Xiaogang were helping Xichen and Xiaosong out of the situation, while Xiaoxia was supplementing their thoughts. Xichen also told them what had just happened.

"I'm sorry, Mina-kun was too reckless. Please forgive him. He has a deep obsession with Suicune." After understanding the whole story, Xiaosong apologized to Xichen, and the atmosphere gradually eased.

"Well, excuse me for asking, what is your relationship with the Three Holy Beasts, or Ho-Oh?" Komatsu asked cautiously. He was a worshiper of Ho-Oh, and the young man in front of him had a close relationship with the Three Holy Beasts. Maybe he was a trainer chosen by Ho-Oh. In that case, what he had just done was really against the ancestral teachings.

"Don't worry, I'm not the person you've been waiting for. Ho-Oh and I are just friends." Xichen said lightly, and then glanced at Xiaozhi unnoticeably.

"You are actually friends with the King of Phoenix!?" Xiaosong lost control of his expression, his mood constantly changing from shock to joy to confusion: "So, you are also someone who has gained the trust of the King of Phoenix! But, this is impossible!"

"Really, really, Entei and the others have helped us many times~" Xiaozhi and the others also echoed, which made Xiaosong even more shocked. He didn't expect that not only the young man in front of him, but also Xiaozhi and the others had seen Entei and the others. Does this mean that Ho-oh will gradually return to the eyes of the world?

"I also think it's impossible, but it seems to be true." Xichen also knew that he had the recognition of not only the Phoenix King, but all the first-level gods with priesthood.

"Impossible! The legend clearly says that if Ho-Oh trusts humans again, it will come back. If you are really trusted by Ho-Oh, why hasn't it come back!" Xiaosong shouted at Xichen.

"It trusts me, what does it have to do with coming back?" Xi Chen sneered: "And I also said that I am not the person you have been waiting for. The Phoenix King and I are just friends, not the Rainbow Hero!"

"Xichen..." Xiaosong calmed down, pondered for a while, and finally asked: "Since you are friends with the Phoenix King, can you please ask the Phoenix King to come back? Yuanzhu City has been without the Phoenix King for too long. If you can really do it, my Bell Tower Clan is willing to recognize you as the master!"

"What!" Xiaoxia and Xiaogang were completely stunned. They could never have imagined that Xiaosong would actually say such words to Xichen.

"I refuse." Xichen shook his head and rejected Xiaosong without hesitation: "It is precisely because we are friends that I would not say such a thing. This is the choice of the Phoenix King himself. I will not interfere. It is up to it to decide when it is willing to come back. If I let the Phoenix King give up his decision just because of our friendship, it would be disrespectful to it."

"This...well, I took it for granted." Upon hearing this, Xiaosong visibly wilted.

"The Phoenix King will come back sooner or later, but that's all for later." Xichen patted Xiaosong's shoulder and said, "Let's talk about the more important things first. You also know that I'm challenging the Johto Alliance, so I need your badge."

"Gym battle? That's just what I want. Let me see what kind of strength the friends of the Ho-Oh have!"

"Speaking of gym battles, I was just fighting with Mr. Komatsu, but halfway through the fight, Komatsu hurried out. It turned out it was because of Brother Xichen..." When mentioning this, Xiaozhi suddenly became a little resentful.

“Ahahaha, isn’t this a sign that something is wrong with the Scorched Tower?” Xiaosong said awkwardly, “How about this, Xiaozhi, let’s finish the unfinished battle here.”

"Really? Of course I have no problem with that!"

Afterwards, after giving up the venue, Komatsu and Xiaozhi started their unfinished battle. Komatsu sent out Haunter and Xiaozhi sent out Inchacell.

At the beginning, Xiaosong let Haunter use Black Eye to prevent Xiaozhi from exchanging Pokémon in the battlefield. In the end, he used hypnosis and licking to defeat Charmeleon. There was no other way, because Xiaozhi's Charmeleon was too sleepy.

Finally, Xiaozhi sent out his last Pokémon, the Shiny Nightowl. Relying on the See Through and Normal types, Xiaozhi defeated Komatsu's Haunter and Gengar and took down the Phantom Badge of the Vermillion Gym.
