Chapter 37 Challenge Cerulean Gym
Qingyuan didn't get out of bed until 10 a.m. the next morning.
Looking at the three little ones around him, Qingyuan said with a smile.
"Hehe, I overslept, but there's no training this morning, so get some rest. I'll take you guys to the dojo this afternoon."
Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, the three little ones cheered immediately.
Compared to tedious training, exciting battles are more likely to attract their interest.
After lying in bed for half an hour, Qingyuan got up and washed up.
After washing up, Qingyuan began tidying up his room. He would be leaving Cerulean City after completing his challenge at the Cerulean Gym today.
After tidying everything up, Qingyuan put away the three little ones who were playing, slung his backpack over his shoulder, and left the room.
After arriving at the counter, handing the room key to Miss Joey, and checking out, Qingyuan was about to leave.
Miss Joey suddenly spoke up.
"Qingyuan, here is a letter for you!"
Upon hearing this, Qingyuan was surprised that someone had actually left him a letter.
Surprised, Qingyuan was filled with anticipation.
He doesn't have many friends in this world, so who would leave him letters?
After receiving the letter from Miss Joey, Qingyuan immediately looked at the signature.
The three large characters "柘木田" were written on it.
"Zhemu Tian? Why did this guy leave me a letter?"
When Qingyuan saw that it was a letter left for him by Zhemu Tian, he was a little confused.
He really didn't know why Zhemu Tian would leave him a letter. It couldn't be to thank him for scolding him last night, could it?
As Qingyuan pondered this, he opened the envelope and took out the letter.
With just one glance, Qingyuan's face was full of disgust.
There's no other reason than that this guy's handwriting is just too ugly.
Looking at the ink marks that were vaguely supposed to be writing, Qingyuan patiently began to examine them.
After reading it, Qingyuan let out a long sigh of relief.
Good heavens, this letter really is from Zhemutian thanking Qingyuan for scolding him yesterday.
The gist of it is that he thanked Qingyuan for his words yesterday, which made him pay attention to the feelings of the Circle Bears.
Encouraged by the Circle Bears, he has rekindled his fighting spirit.
He will put in ten times the effort to continuously become stronger, and he will definitely defeat Qingyuan in the next battle.
Looking at this letter, which was half gratitude and half a challenge.
Qingyuan said as he folded it up.
"Has your fighting spirit been rekindled? That's good, after all, it's not easy to make a friend!"
After putting the letter away, Qingyuan thanked Nurse Joy and left the Pokémon Center, heading towards the Cerulean Gym.
Cerulean Gym's economic conditions are far superior to those of Nibi Gym.
There are even staff members at the entrance of the dojo to guide visitors.
After Qingyuan expressed his desire to challenge the dojo to the staff, the staff led him directly from the main entrance into the Clarin Dojo.
As soon as he entered, Qingyuan saw a performance area that resembled an aquarium.
"That's the performance area where Miss Sakura and the others perform their underwater ballet. The dojo battle arena is further inside!"
A staff member standing nearby noticed that Qingyuan's eyes were constantly fixed on the performance area and kindly offered a reminder.
"Thank you!"
Upon hearing this, Qingyuan thanked her.
Although he had already guessed it, the other person was trying to help him out of his confusion.
When the staff heard Qingyuan's words, they simply waved their hands at him, indicating that he didn't need to worry about it.
Qingyuan followed the staff inside until they arrived at a room that resembled a swimming pool.
Having carefully studied the various battlegrounds, Qingyuan knew that it wasn't a swimming pool, but a water-based battleground.
Of course, when there are no matches, this arena may also serve some other purposes.
For example, a swimming pool, or a place where water-type spirits play.
For example, there are two baby sea lions playing in the battle arena right now.
"Please wait a moment, the Sakura Pavilion owner and the others will be here shortly!"
Qingyuan nodded and stood there waiting.
After a while, Sakura, who had golden hair, gracefully entered the arena.
"Hello challenger, because too many Pokémon in the gym are injured, we can only hold one-on-one gym challenge today!"
"You shouldn't have any objections to this, challenger?"
Sakura arrived at the command position and looked at Qingyuan opposite her, speaking into her mouth.
"I have no objection!"
Qingyuan stood at the command post and shouted back.
"The Cerulean Gym battle is about to begin. A player named Qingyuan from Viridian City will challenge Gym Leader Sakura."
"Only one Pokémon can be used in this Gym Challenge. The match ends when one side's Pokémon is the first to lose its battle ability!"
"Then, the Cerulean Gym Challenge, with the Water Drop Badge as the stake, shall now begin!"
The staff member who had stood next to the venue spoke loudly with a serious expression.
Qingyuan looked at the staff member with surprise, not expecting that the staff member was actually a league-certified referee.
As soon as the referee finished speaking, Sakura threw out a Poké Ball.
"Then I'll use this one, go, Sea Star!"
As a red light flashed, a starfish appeared in the water.
The starfish has a golden-brown, star-shaped body. Between its five tentacles is a protruding red core. A golden band encircles its legs, securing the core.
Looking at the starfish in front of him, Qingyuan took out his Pokédex and scanned it to gather information about the starfish.
After recording the information, Qingyuan put away the Pokédex.
"In that case, Scyther, bring me victory!"
Qingyuan threw out a Poké Ball, and a majestic Scyther appeared on the field.
Seeing the watery terrain beneath its feet, Scyther was startled and quickly flapped its wings to take flight.
Although there are foam boards in the area that allow non-water-type Pokémon to stand on.
However, Scyther feels more comfortable flying.
Qingyuan didn't pay any attention to this.
"Starfish, use a water gun!"
Seeing the flying praying mantis in the sky, Sakura gave instructions to the starfish.
"Hey!"
Starfish yelled and fired a jet of water at Scyther.
However, Qingyuan frowned as he looked at the column of water.
Not only was the water jet thin, but it also lacked staying power, and it even veered off course and fell down before it could even hit the flying mantis.
"I shouldn't have had any expectations!"
"Scyther, use Quick Attack to finish it off!"
After making a complaint, Qingyuan waved his hand and loudly commanded the Scyther.
"Starfish, get out of the way!"
Upon seeing the cherry blossoms, he immediately shouted loudly.
Although Sakura loudly urged Starfish to use its divine skill, it was to no avail.
This starfish has not been exercising for a long time, so its skills are not very powerful.
It probably hasn't even had much real combat experience, seeing the Scyther charging straight at it.
Instead of diving to avoid it, the starfish just stood there helplessly.
"boom!"
After a loud bang, without any suspense, Staryu was instantly killed by Scyther.
"Staryu is unable to fight, Scyther wins!"
"Therefore, the winner of this gymnastics challenge is Qingyuan from Viridian City!"
Seeing this, the referee quickly made a judgment on the final outcome of the battle.
