I, Xiao Mao, want to become a Pokémon Master!

Page 247

Seeing that Ralts was shy, Ash and his friends stopped staring at it.

With the help of Eevee and Ralts, the venue was quickly cleared up, and Aysa warmly invited everyone to afternoon tea, deciding to rest for a while before starting the gym battle.

"Miss Aysa, could you please take a look at the emblem of the Furnace Dojo?" Xiao Zheng asked curiously after taking a sip of juice.

"badge...!"

Asha was stunned.

"What's wrong?".

Xiao Zheng didn't understand why Asha was like this either. Looking at the gym badge, it wasn't an unreasonable request.

“I didn’t think we would lose the gym battle, so I didn’t bring the badge with me,” Aysa said.

Everyone admired Aysa's confidence.

Others may not know Aya's strength, but Shigeru knows it very well.

How dare she say she wouldn't lose? Anyone who didn't know better would think that Mulla left his Pokémon "113" at the gym.

“There must be badges,” Xiao Zheng said.

“Of course there are badges, I’ll go look for them,” Asha said.

Everyone broke out in a cold sweat; after being the club's leader for three days, they hadn't even had their badges on them.

Mura, who was pretending, felt ashamed and glad that she hadn't actually gone on a trip, otherwise the gym would definitely be in chaos.

As expected, Asha did not find the badge. In the end, Mura pretended to go to the toilet, found the box containing the badge in the toilet, and handed it to Asha.

“We have the badges now. Let’s rest for a bit, and then the gym battle can begin,” Aysa said.

"By the way, where are the referees at the dojo?" Mura asked.

“There is no referee,” Asha said.

Mura was so angry he almost vomited blood. If there was no referee, how did the previous gym battles even take place?

"Miss Aysa, a gym battle can't be conducted without a referee."

"Weren't there referees for dojo battles before?"

Xiaoyao and Xiaozheng grew up in the dojo and know the rules of the dojo very well.

Because badges are required to participate in the Rainbow Tournament, the League will consult with the gym leaders of each gym to ensure that no trainers cheat.

But Aysa is different; she is now the acting gym leader, and gym battles must be conducted under the witness of a referee.

If there is no referee present, and the acting gym leader initiates a gym battle without authorization, even if the challenger wins, it will not count.

“In the past, it was always Grandpa’s disciples who served as referees,” Asha said.

"Where is he?" Xiaoyao asked.

“Grandpa went on a trip, and that person is resting,” Asha said.

Everyone was speechless; this Aysa was really unreliable.

"Without a referee, even if Ash beats the gym, he won't be recognized by the League," Xiao Zheng said.

Ash was speechless for Aisa.

Ash is already quite careless, but he never expected to encounter a gym leader who is even more careless than himself.

The key point is that Ash came to challenge the gym today in high spirits, but not only did he end up working for free, he also couldn't participate in the gym battle because there was no referee.

"What should we do then?" Xiao Zhi asked hurriedly.

"this..."

Just as Asha was in a dilemma, Mulla couldn't help but step forward and say, "I'll be the referee. I have the League's referee certification and can referee gym battles at any time."

Everyone was shocked. None of them were referees, and they didn't know whether what Mura said was true or false, but they figured it was probably true.

"Is this okay?" Asha asked uncertainly.

"Of course you can, hurry up and start the gym battle," Mura urged.

Xiao Mao couldn't stand it any longer and spoke up, "Mr. Mura, you shouldn't hide your identity anymore."

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned and turned to look at the disguised Mura.

"Grandpa?" Asha called out tentatively. From the moment the person in front of her appeared, Asha had felt something was strange. He not only helped tidy up the place, but also knew where the badges were.

Mura hadn't expected to be recognized, so she took off her disguise and revealed her true appearance.

“Grandpa! It really is you.” Asha was a little doubtful at first, but now she was sure it was her grandfather.

"Grandpa, didn't you go on a trip? Why are you back?" Asha asked in surprise.

Xiao Mao was a little confused.

Judging from Aysa's tone, it seemed as if she wasn't very welcoming to Mura.

Because if Mulla is at the gym, then Mulla is the gym leader, and Aysa is at most the gym's assistant. If Mulla isn't there, then Aysa is like a tiger without a tiger, and the monkey reigns supreme.

As the saying goes, there's no such thing as a prince who reigns for 30 years.

In Aya's case, who has been a dojo assistant for over twenty years?

"Sigh!" Mura sighed, "It's all because I don't trust you. Look at the state of the dojo you've managed in just three days..."

"Hehe...Grandpa..." Asha was also embarrassed. She didn't expect that the dojo would be in such a state in just three days.

“Alright, I’ll guide you for a while longer before I go on my trip,” Mura said.

Mura decided to train Asha thoroughly for a few months so that she could travel with peace of mind.

"Ok."

Aysa nodded repeatedly.

Although I had the freedom to make my own decisions during these three days, it was a complete mess. It was much more reassuring to have Mura around.

"Then Ash, you go ahead and battle. I'll come back tomorrow," Gary said.

The main reason Gary stayed was to drive Team Rocket away, otherwise it would delay Ash's challenge progress.

Currently, none of the Rockets' trio have appeared, and they probably won't be appearing again. There's no need for Xiao Mao to stay either.

"Aren't you going to take on the challenge?" Ash asked.

“Miss Asha wants to fight you. Regardless of the outcome, her Pokémon will be unable to continue battling. If I stay here, I won’t have any gym battles to fight,” said Gary.

“It’s alright, I can fight you,” Mura said.

Xiaomao "...!"

Xiao Mao was taken aback, not expecting that Mura would be willing to fight him.

Mulla is a former Elite Four member. Although she sends out Pokémon based on the trainer's strength, her strength of 2.9 is something that ordinary Gym Leaders can't match.

[Ding! Mission issued: 1. Obtain the Cauldron Gym Badge / Rewards: 5 Intermediate Rare Candies, a permanent Rock Tomb TM, and 1 Superior Charcoal!]

[2. Obtain the LavaCup Gym Badge using Hoenn region Pokémon / Rewards: 5 Medium Rare Candies, a permanent Fire-type TM of your choice, and 1 random battle-affecting item.]

"it is good."

Upon hearing the task issued by the system, Xiao Mao readily agreed.

Being able to fight against Mura is a rare opportunity.

"Mr. Mulla, I'd like to battle you too," Ash suddenly said.

Ash was in such a hurry to come to the gym today because he knew that Mura, the gym leader of LavaCity, was a former Elite Four member, but the gym leader had changed.

Now that he has the opportunity to battle Mulla, Ash naturally wants to do so.

371: Ash vs. Aysa

"Wait, Ash, aren't you going to battle me?" Now it was Asha's turn to be speechless. She had been ready to battle Ash for a long time.

Now that Ash is asking to battle his grandfather, Asha suddenly feels a sense of loss, as if something has been taken from her.

"I really want to battle you, Miss Aysa, but I'd rather battle Mr. Mura," Ash said.

Aysa was furious; Ash was such a terrible person.

"Ash, you should battle Aysa instead. Aysa's trainers are quite skilled. If you want to battle me, we can do it privately," Mura said.

"OK then."

Seeing that he still had a chance to battle Mulla, Ash didn't insist on it; he just wanted to fight one of the Elite Four.

Opportunities to fight the Four Heavenly Kings are rare.

"Alright, Aysa, you and Ash can go to the command area," Mura said.

Ash and Ash were both standing in the command area.

Mura stood on the referee's platform and announced, "The Gym Challenge between rookie Gym Leader Aysa and Ash from Pallet Town is about to begin."

“Grandpa, the word ‘newcomer’ is superfluous,” Asha muttered in dissatisfaction.

"Yasa, I'm the referee now, you're not allowed to call me grandpa," Mura reprimanded sternly.

"Understood." Facing the stern Mura, 11 Aysa suppressed her dissatisfaction.

"You can use three Pokémon, and only the challenger can change their Pokémon," Mura continued, explaining the rules. "Do you understand?"

"clear."

Xiaozhi nodded.

Ash has experienced all kinds of gyms and knows the rules of gym battles by heart.

"Okay, let's begin!"

After saying that, Asha sent out her elf first.

"Go, Margot."

Baton!
