Knights of the Elf World

Chapter 230 Platycodon Gym

After saying goodbye to Morio, Xichen and Nazhi continued to move towards Kikyo City.

Kikyo City is a city in the central part of the Johto region. It is also the first gym that Xichen is going to challenge, and the location of the Kikyo Gym.

The most famous thing in this city, besides the Kikyo Gym, is the Trumpet Bud Tower which is always shaking.

This tower looks like it will collapse at any time, but the structure inside is very solid. As for the principle behind this, Xichen couldn't figure it out, so he had to admire the wisdom of the ancients.

In the tower, there are also many monks practicing, most of whom are using trumpet buds. Maybe they can be used to level up in the game, but for Xichen now, it doesn’t make much sense to challenge them or not.

After going around in circles, the two finally arrived at Kikyo City before dark. As it was getting late, they decided to rest in the Pokémon Center for a night and go for the challenge the next day. Xichen also took the opportunity to choose the Pokémon for the battle.

Nothing happened that night, and the next day, the two of them arrived at the location of Kikyo Gym.

The Kikyo Gym is located on the top floor of a tall spiral building with no roof above it, so Flying-type Pokémon can take advantage of the sky to the greatest extent.

All the way to the top floor, Xichen and the others appeared at the front desk of the gym, but found no trace of the gym trainer.

"Are you here to challenge the gym?" At this time, a man in disciple uniform received the two people.

"Yes, I am going to challenge the Kikyo Gym." Xichen nodded, and then said strangely: "But why don't I see any gym trainers? The Kikyo Gym should have officially started to welcome challengers at this time."

"Um, that..." The receptionist said awkwardly: "Our master is still in the sky on a hang glider. Please wait a moment, I will call him back immediately. You can go to the venue with me first."

Afterwards, Xichen and Nazi followed the receptionist to the open-air battle field on the top floor of the building. Then they saw the receptionist fire a flare into the sky, and with a sharp roar, a glider flew in from a distance and finally landed on the field.

"Is there a challenger?" A handsome blue-haired man who looked only a few years older than Xichen asked the receptionist after getting off the glider. After receiving a positive response, he came to Xichen and said, "Hello, challenger. I am Asu, the gym trainer of Kikyo Gym. Welcome."

"My name is Xichen, and I'm currently challenging the Johto League, so please fight me!" Xichen responded politely while sizing up Asu. As expected of him being called the 'Gorgeous Flying Pokémon Trainer', he does look pretty good, and he inherited a gym at such a young age, so he must have some strength.

"No problem, let's start now." Asu stood in the command area readily and motioned Xichen to take his position.

"Well, the gym match between Kikyo Gym's gym trainer Asu and challenger Xichen has officially begun. Three Pokémon can be used, and only the challenger can change Pokémon. Now, please ask the gym trainers to send out their Pokémon first." The referee was the same receptionist, who then announced the start of the match.

"Xichen, let me show you how powerful a flying-type Pokémon is. First of all, my first Pokémon is this guy!"

After saying that, Asu threw the Poké Ball in his hand, the white light dissipated, and a brown-bodied Gugu with a pair of rainbow pupils and two thick thighs appeared.

"The first battle of the Johto Gym will be taken on by you, Bulbasaur!" Xichen sent out Bulbasaur with unfavorable attributes.

"Bulbasaur? Don't you know that the Flying type restrains the Grass type?" When Asu saw Xichen sending out the Grass type Bulbasaur, his face suddenly became a little ugly, and he said to Xichen sternly: "Or are you looking down on me?"

"I never look down on any opponent." Xi Chen said seriously, "We have to face the battle of opposite attributes. I am just letting my Pokémon get familiar with it first. Besides, this is also Bulbasaur's own wish. Bulbasaur, use Leaf Blade!"

Bulbasaur shook the flower buds on its body, and several sharp leaves hit Gugu.

"Gugu, get into the air and avoid it!" Asu's Gugu rose quickly and directly dodged the flying leaf knife.

"The speed of Flying Pokémon is always a problem," Xichen muttered.

"Coo, use Peck!"

"Take it!" Xichen knew that with Bulbasaur's speed, it would be difficult to dodge Gugu's attack. Instead of making meaningless resistance, it would be better to take this move first and then look for another opportunity.

boom!

Gugu's peck landed on Bulbasaur's body. Although Bulbasaur felt pain, it did not retreat a single step.

"Now, use the whip!"

Xichen seized the opportunity and let Bulbasaur use the whip to control the opponent.

"Oh no, Gugu, break free quickly!" Seeing Gugu being caught, Asu frowned and shouted at Gugu. However, no matter how Gugu struggled, he could not break free from the restraints of Bulbasaur.

"Use paralyzing powder!"

Yellow powder gushed out from the flower bud of Bulbasaur and sprinkled on Gugu's body. Gugu suddenly felt weak.

"Just use the wrestling technique like this!" Xichen said coldly. Bulbasaur swung its whip vigorously and threw Gugu to the ground with a heavy sound. After this blow, Bulbasaur also retracted the whip.

"Gugu, use telekinesis!"

Gugu got up tremblingly. It seemed that the fall just now had caused it serious injuries. Then, blue light flashed in Gugu's eyes and it focused its sight on Bulbasaur. Bulbasaur immediately felt that its body was restricted and its movements became a little inconvenient.

"Break free of it, Bulbasaur!"

"Impossible! As a poison-type and grass-type Bulbasaur, it is impossible for it to break free from Gugu's telekinesis!" Asu said confidently, then waved his hands and shouted, "Gugu, let it also taste the feeling of being thrown to the ground!"

"Gugu!" Upon hearing this, Gugu immediately began to exert his strength, and used his telekinesis to lift Bulbasaur high up. But just when Gugu was about to take the next step, a flash of lightning struck, and Gugu's body was immediately paralyzed. The telekinesis was also released, and Bulbasaur fell to the ground again.

"Oh no, the paralysis is triggered!" Asu was shocked.

"Good chance, Bulbasaur, use Leaf Blade!"

Several sharp leaves hit Gugu, and under the attack of the flying leaf knife, Gugu also lost his ability to fight.

"Come back, Gugu, you're pretty awesome. You can beat a game with such adverse attributes like this. So my next Pokémon will be this one. Go, Dodoli!" Asu sent out the second Pokémon, which was Dodoli with three heads.
