Pokémon: I just became a Gym Leader, and Cynthia proposed to me.

Chapter 201 is excellent, very inspiring!

Bai Cai smiled slightly, "I'll forgive you when the ice cream arrives. That's all for now, I still have a lot of work to do."

They even thoughtfully gave Li Shuwen time to prepare a meeting place.

Cynthia's disguised cabbage is actually quite gentle.

While it may be called a disguise, the identity of "Cabbage" actually reflects Cynthia's gentle and playful personality.

On the contrary, Cynthia, in her true form, was somewhat disguised when she met Li Shuwen.

Cynthia will maintain a certain distance and try to appear as assertive as possible.

However, during her time in the Paddy Pit, it would be difficult for Cynthia to maintain her disguise indefinitely.

After Li Shuwen discovered Cynthia's identity, his subtle changes made Cynthia unconsciously lower her guard.

He gradually began to behave exactly like a cabbage, but Cynthia was unaware of it.

How can there be such a cute girl as Cynthia?

Cynthia's name means "white" or "city".

The cabbage was just a pun, and Li Shuwen didn't realize it at first.

Moreover, in Veil City, Li Shuwen knew of two girls named Baicai.

One is still in kindergarten, and the other is already a mother of two.

Li Shuwen smiled at his phone, then got up and headed to the station.

……

This trainer is named Phil, and his online name is "Forever Burning." Ever since he failed to challenge the Veiled Gym, he has been praising the Veiled Gym and how powerful the prospective gym leader, Li Shuwen, is online.

He was challenged by another Veil Dojo member, Blue Feather, whose online name is Blue Sky Feather, after a real encounter at an internet cafe.

After receiving guidance from Blue Feather, Phil chose to challenge other gyms.

Blue Feather told him that since the Veiled Gym was so good at instructing trainers, Phil could get the most professional guidance by challenging the Veiled Gym as his last gym.

Moreover, Phil's accumulated wealth had reached its peak at that time.

With Li Shuwen's guidance, Phil will definitely be transformed!

Phil believed it!

After leaving Veilstone City and embarking on his journey, Phil, having finally obtained seven badges, turned around and headed back to the Veilstone City Gym.

But Phil didn't know that Blue Feather had dug a pit for him.

The eighth badge is quite different in difficulty from the previous seven.

Especially demanding dojo trainers like Li Shuwen.

Poor Phil, he's probably going to be put through the wringer by Li Shuwen.

Upon arriving in Veiled City, Phil had just gotten off the bus when he spotted a familiar figure at the station exit.

He quickly caught up with him, "Master Shuwen, it's been a long time!"

Upon seeing Phil, Li Shuwen smiled and said, "You're Phil. I'm still waiting for your second challenge of the Veiled Gym."

"After the first time, you disappeared. I thought you had given up on challenging the Veiled Gym. I didn't expect you to come back now."

Phil pulled open his clothes, revealing seven badges hanging on them.

He said proudly, "Thanks to your guidance, Master of the Library, I was able to successfully obtain seven badges."

"I'm aiming for my eighth badge this time, and I'd appreciate any guidance from the Librarian!"

Wait a minute, Li Shuwen suddenly remembered that Phil was one of the trainers who was being criticized on the trainer forum, right?

Will Phil write another long essay for this challenge?

Well, he has a strong and well-equipped army now, so he's not afraid of Phil causing trouble.

Gengar isn't really suitable, but Li Shuwen believes he has no problem sending Electabuzz into battle to face the challenger.

In particular, Primeape, now wielding the Fist of Fury, is eager to battle more powerful Pokémon.

"The eighth badge requires four Pokémon. Phil, are you ready?"

Phil nodded. "Don't worry, I couldn't be better prepared!"

Phil was full of confidence and determined to win the Paving Stone Badge of the Veilway Gym!

"Very good, very energetic!"

Seeing Phil's mental state, Li Shuwen felt confident to take action.

There's no need to worry about breaking Phil's Dao heart; on the contrary, Phil, who is currently full of pride, needs to be tempered.

Otherwise, given his current mindset, if he participates in the Suzuran Tournament, he might be eliminated in the preliminaries due to carelessness.

The two arrived at the Veiled Gym just as Dad finished a challenge match.

Li Shuwen was somewhat surprised; he actually saw a hint of his father's former charisma in his eyes.

Has Dad changed his ways?

Is Dad picking up Pokémon training again, planning to make a comeback?

Akai said, "There are two more challengers this afternoon, arriving at 3 pm and 4 pm respectively. Please be prepared, Master."

Li Shuwen asked curiously, "Kai, how many challengers are there today?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Ah Kai excitedly turned around, "Master, you're back!"

The old man leaped forward, rushed to Li Shuwen, grabbed his hand, and said with tears welling in his eyes, "Shuwen, you're finally... finally back!"

"You have no idea... your apprentice is simply inhuman!"

Li Shuwen was puzzled. "What did Akai do?"

The old man choked up a little, "No matter how many people came to challenge me, he never refused and arranged for them all. Do you know how many challengers I received in a single day?"

"Thirteen!"

Li Shuwen's lips twitched. Thirteen? That's really a bit too much.

Akai's thick eyebrows twitched. "But those were all challengers with the first four badges, so they weren't difficult for the gym leader. I arranged them all."

"Don't even mention the gym leader, I could beat one or two of them if I were to step into the ring."

Akai excitedly took out a Poké Ball and released a Machop.

"Master, look, the gym leader took me to capture a Machop. He put me in charge of screening challengers. Only challengers who defeat me can be accepted by the gym leader."

Li Shuwen smiled. His father had managed to fool Akai in order to reduce his workload.

The old man laughed and said, "Kai is a bit silly, but he reminds me of when I first started out in the industry."

"Sometimes, it makes my blood boil with excitement."

It turns out that Dad regained some of his former vigor after being infected by Akai's youthful spirit.

"Now that I'm back, leave the rest of the challengers to me. Dad, you can go to the arcade and relax."

The old man excitedly shook Li Shuwen's hand, "Then it's up to you!"

His father complained to him, all so he could play video games.

Li Shuwen turned his head and said, "Phil, time is tight, let's start the gym battle right away."

Phil took out a Poké Ball. "I couldn't have asked for this!"

Li Shuwen said in a low voice, "Akai, go and bring the Mighty Chicken and Electabuzz over."

Ah Kai nodded, "Okay, Master."

The first two, Strong Chicken and Electric Beast, are just right.

Akai brought over a Poké Ball, and Li Shuwen immediately sent out an Electabuzz.

Through the power of waveguide, Li Shuwen directly learned about Electabuzz's growth over this period.

Phil, just like last time, confidently started the Stampede once again.

Phil clenched his fists. He was determined to get back up where he had fallen last time!

"Startled Deer, Mind Hammer!"

Li Shuwen smiled slightly, "Grab him."

The electric beast opened its arms and grabbed the two antlers of the startled deer.

The overwhelming force pushed Electabuzz back two steps.

The startled deer realized it couldn't be pushed.

"thunder!"

Holding the antlers, Electabuzz unleashed a powerful bolt of lightning.

The electric shock made the frightened deer feel numb all over.

"Break the tile!"

The electric beast raised its arm and slammed it down between the antlers of the startled deer.

Phil's eyes widened. "A startled deer!"

The frightened deer staggered, but responding to its trainer's heart, it did not fall.

Electabuzz grinned; he liked opponents with tempers like this.
