After Xiao Luoxue finished speaking, Xiao Chengtian immediately became enraged.
"What did you say? How is that Zhang Zhongtian managing his Gym?"
"Don't worry, I'll demand an explanation from him right away. I don't think he wants to keep this Gym open anymore."
With the authority of an Elite Four, closing a Gym wasn't difficult. Even the Imperial Capital Gym would definitely be shut down if Xiao Chengtian pulled some strings.
Jiang Chen and the others were unperturbed, but Qi Xuan started to panic a bit. These people didn't seem to be ordinary individuals.
However, remembering that the Gym Leader was his maternal uncle, Qi Xuan immediately relaxed.
"I advise you to apologize to me, or else..."
"Slap~!"
A slap landed on the back of his head, almost knocking him down. A furious Zhang Zhongtian walked out from inside.
"Or else what do you want? I let you work at the Gym, and I didn't expect you to be so arrogant. Now, get out of here!"
Zhang Zhongtian roared furiously.
Qi Xuan, who had initially intended to curse after being hit, trembled when he heard Zhang Zhongtian's voice.
"Maternal uncle."
"Don't call me maternal uncle. I don't have a nephew like you. You're my maternal uncle. Now get lost!"
Zhang Zhongtian kicked Qi Xuan away.
Then, a smile of apology quickly appeared on his face: "I'm sorry. I apologize on his behalf for his offense against you."
He was almost ruined by this nephew of his. The daughter of an Elite Four, and the son of a Champion how dared he provoke them? Zhang Zhongtian declared that he wasn't that brave.
He might be the Imperial Capital Gym Leader with a high status, but if an Elite Four or a Champion wanted to punish him, the Imperial Capital Gym would be shut down in minutes.
"I'm here to challenge the Gym. Let's get straight to the point."
Jiang Chen waved his hand, signaling to Zhang Zhongtian.
"Understood."
Zhang Zhongtian immediately nodded. This was his first time meeting the son of the new Champion, Jiang Yuan. Just looking at his appearance, he was clearly incomparable to his life-ruining nephew.
"Get him out of here. If he dares to come in, just hit him."
As Zhang Zhongtian led Jiang Chen and the others inside, he instructed the Imperial Capital Gym trainees.
To be honest, what Zhang Zhongtian was doing now was saving Qi Xuan. If he didn't satisfy Jiang Chen and the others, Qi Xuan's fate would definitely be even worse.
"Gym Leader, we understand."
These people usually found Qi Xuan quite annoying. That guy flaunted his status and power, and they all harbored some resentment towards him in their hearts.
Now that they had an opportunity to teach him a lesson, how could they not seize it?
Jiang Chen and the others didn't bother with Qi Xuan any further. To put it plainly, Qi Xuan was a small fry, not worth their attention.
"The Imperial Capital Gym challenge match uses six Pokémon. Pokémon can be swapped during battle."
He called out the referee and explained the challenge rules to Jiang Chen.
In fact, the challenge rules for every Gym were the same; there were no differences.
"Go, Dragapult."
"Druddigon, come out."
"(cgce) What kind of Pokémon is that?"
When he saw Dragapult, Zhang Zhongtian's expression froze. As a Gym Leader, he naturally knew a lot about Pokémon, but he didn't recognize Dragapult at all.
Zhang Zhongtian wasn't the only one confused about Dragapult; Xiao Luoxue was too. When did Jiang Chen catch this peculiar-looking Pokémon?
"This Pokémon is called Dragapult. It's a newly arrived Pseudo-legendary Pokémon, a Dragon-type and Ghost-type Pokémon."
Seeing that Xiao Luoxue didn't recognize it, Ling Wanqiu proudly introduced it to Xiao Luoxue.
"Oh."
She let out a faint "oh." If Ling Wanqiu hadn't introduced it to her, she might have been interested in learning more.
Now that Ling Wanqiu was telling her this, wasn't she just showing off that she knew more about Jiang Chen than Xiao Luoxue did?
Jiang Chen's Dragapult's strength had increased quite quickly. With the Draco Plate, its strength couldn't slow down even if it wanted to.
[Dragapult]
Gender: Female
Strength: Elite Four Stage 7
Talent Potential: Champion
Type: Dragon, Ghost
Ability: Clear Body
Moves: Dragon Darts, Dragon Breath, Quick Attack, Infestation, Hex, Double Hit, Dragon Dance, Phantom Force, Dragon Rush...
The opponent Druddigon's strength was Elite Four Stage 9, a slight gap in power, but Jiang Chen was confident he could win.
"Dragapult, use Dragon Darts."
After Jiang Chen gave the command, two Dreepy instantly shot out from the horn-like projections on Dragapult's head.
Their speed was too fast; they launched out in the blink of an eye, and Druddigon had no time to react.
"What a fast attack."
Zhang Zhongtian also didn't react in time. Only after Dragapult hit Druddigon did he snap back to his senses.
Because he didn't understand Dragapult, Druddigon was so easily caught off guard.
"Continue attacking, Dragapult, use Phantom Force."
Just as Druddigon got up to counterattack, Dragapult had already disappeared. As Druddigon searched around for Dragapult's trace, Dragapult suddenly ambushed Druddigon from behind.
With a scream, the battle had just begun, and it had already suffered two major setbacks.
"Quick, use Dragon Tail, attack behind you!" Zhang Zhongtian immediately commanded Druddigon.
The attack missed. Dragapult had already disappeared, completely untraceable on the field.
"A Ghost-type Pokémon?"
Zhang Zhongtian asked, guessing.
Abilities like invisibility mostly appeared on Ghost-type Pokémon. Many Ghost-type Pokémon could become invisible and merge into shadows.
Gengar, in particular, was famous for this, ambushing opponents by emerging from shadows after turning invisible, making it impossible to guard against.
"Dragapult, you use Dragon Tail too."
The suddenly visible Dragapult swung its seemingly transparent tail, which, despite its appearance, struck with immense power.
The tail swung, sending Druddigon flying, and then Dragapult immediately followed up with a Dragon Rush on Druddigon.
Druddigon was a Dragon-type Pokémon, and Dragon-type moves were super effective against Dragon-type Pokémon. After several consecutive hits, Druddigon was struggling to resist.
The key was that whenever Druddigon tried to counterattack, Dragapult appeared and disappeared erratically, making it impossible for Druddigon to land a hit.
"So powerful."
Although Ling Wanqiu had seen Dragapult when she sought out Jiang Chen, this was her first time witnessing Dragapult in battle.
Its elusive ambushes, terrifyingly unparalleled speed, and powerful attacks captivated her, a Dragon-type enthusiast, who couldn't hold back her excitement.
"If I get the chance, I want to catch a Dragapult too."
Ling Wanqiu muttered to herself.
Although Dragapult's appearance didn't quite match Ling Wanqiu's aesthetic preferences, there was no denying that Dragapult's strength was indeed formidable.
"Give it the final blow, use Dragon Pulse."
Jiang Chen instructed Dragapult.
The sphere of destructive energy struck Druddigon's body. After continuous hits, Druddigon could no longer endure.
"Druddigon is unable to battle."
The referee announced.
"May I ask why I haven't heard of this Dragapult of yours?"
After recalling Druddigon, Zhang Zhongtian inquired.
His favorite Pokémon were also Dragon-types, and this Gym was a Dragon-type Gym. He was very familiar with Dragon-type Pokémon, but he had never heard of Dragapult.
He could be certain that this Pokémon was both Dragon-type and Ghost-type.
Using so many Dragon-type moves, and with such great power, it was undoubtedly a Dragon-type Pokémon.
And that unique dark aura clearly belonged to the power of a Ghost-type Pokémon.
"This is a newly arrived Pokémon, a Dragon-type and Ghost-type Pseudo-legendary Pokémon."
Because Zhang Zhongtian treated him very well, Jiang Chen didn't mind telling him.
Anyway, it would become public knowledge sooner or later, so telling Zhang Zhongtian wouldn't hurt.
"A newly arrived Pseudo-legendary Pokémon."
Zhang Zhongtian didn't doubt it at all. Jiang Chen's identity meant he had no need to deceive him, and based on Dragapult's performance just now, there was no doubt it was a Pseudo-legendary Pokémon.
"Come back, Dragapult."
Jiang Chen recalled Dragapult. Seeing Jiang Chen recall Dragapult, a hint of regret flashed across Zhang Zhongtian's face; he really wanted to continue watching Dragapult's impressive display.
