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

Chapter 208: Is it a test for him, or a test for me?

The Poison Skull Frog's right hand glowed with a deep purple light as it charged rapidly toward the Breathy Mushroom.

The velvet's fist glowed white as it tried to block the toad's fist from the side.

The Poison Skull Frog's fists are covered in poisonous barbs, so the Breloom can only try to parry from the side or from below.

The velvet mushroom with its poison healing properties won't cause poisoning, but if its poisonous spines get stuck in your body, it will hurt a lot!

The velvet was surprised that it blocked the poison scorpion frog's right fist so easily.

The mushroom immediately sensed something was wrong.

Too easy!

This was much easier than the punch that Breloom and Poison Skull Frog had landed head-on.

Then, the mushroom felt a sharp pain in its abdomen.

Yes, the velvet mushroom fell for the trap.

Even the Poison Skull Frog uses the body of the Hathorn mushroom as cover.

The challenger didn't even notice the little movement of the Poison Skull Frog's left hand.

The Poison Skull Frog's right hand glowed purple, drawing the attention of both the Challenger and the Breloom.

The left hand of the Poison Skull Frog was overlooked.

The potent toxins were injected into the mushroom's body, immediately plunging it into a highly poisonous state.

The pure toxins enter the body of the lizard mushroom, giving it a continuous source of vitality and energy.

Since poisoning can restore the strength of the velvet mushroom, then highly toxic poison should restore even more strength.

So the Poison Frog took it upon itself to apply a Poison status to the Breloom.

Let's play with the Hathorn some more.

The challengers were puzzled until the mushroom flew away.

Wasn't it supposed to be blocked? How come the Hathorn still flew away?

Li Shuwen offered a reminder: "Sometimes, don't be fooled by appearances; the truth often lies hidden beneath the surface."

Seeing that the challenger still didn't understand, the Poison Skull Frog made a clear gesture by raising its left hand and then retracting it.

The challenger then realized, "The Breathy mushroom blocked the right punch, but its attention was completely drawn to the right punch, causing it to ignore the attack coming from other directions!"

The Poison Skull Frog's punch was so powerful that even the Breloom thought it had been poisoned, just like before.

With a push of its tail, the lizard mushroom stood up.

"Hey, are you alright?"

Feeling the pain in its abdomen, the mushroom forcefully raised its fist.

"What are you doing!"

Toxicroak beckons, signaling for a Fighting-type Pokémon battle with Breloom.

"Guli~"

No skills required, just pure, visceral combat.

The mushroom, fueled by its own passion, charged forward, fists clenched.

The fists of the Poison Skull Frog appear to have poisonous barbs, and they hurt even more when they hit the Breloom.

However, Poison Skull Frog has the Poison Hand trait, and its poisonous stinger can easily introduce toxins into Breloom.

Unable to avoid being attacked by the poisonous stinger, after some deliberation, it turned out that the Breloom had more stamina than usual.

The development of the hyacinth mushroom on his body is clearly not yet sufficient.

In this contest of fighting skills, he was clearly at a disadvantage.

It was kicked in the chin by the poisonous toad and flew backward, rolling several times on the ground.

The Poison Skull Frog wasn't particularly tall, but it exuded a powerful sense of intimidation in the eyes of the challengers.

In skill-based battles, it's no match for Poison Skull Frog; in melee battles, it's still no match for Poison Skull Frog.

The challenger clenched his fists. What should he do now?

Li Shuwen asked calmly, "Do you want to give up?"

The challenger raised his head. "No, I will never give up! I believe the same goes for the Breath-shroom!"

The straw mushroom got up from the ground and clenched its two fists.

"What are you doing!"

He's a straw mushroom, and he'll fight until the very last moment he falls!

His spirits are excellent, and his courage is commendable.

But courage alone is not enough.

"Mushroom, Sonic Punch!"

Burning with passion and pushing beyond limits, the Hatha mushroom transforms into a green cannonball.

"Break the tile!"

The Poison Skull Frog swung its paw and cleaved the tile, the immense force sending the Breloom flying back.

The velvet landed and charged at the poison scorpion frog again.

"Sonic Fist!"

The Poison Skull Frog suddenly leaped into the air, spun 360 degrees, and struck the Hathorn Mushroom on the neck with its arm.

Li Shuwen was stunned for a moment. Although Fighting Pokémon knew how to use Flying Swallow, it had basically become a standard feature of their Veilgate Gym.

but!

Toxtricity, you have thick eyebrows... Toxtricity doesn't really qualify, you can't describe your Pokémon as having shifty eyes, can you?

Having more skills is never a bad thing, and Swallow Return is indeed useful when fighting against opponents of the same fighting attribute.

While in the Padia Pit, he remembered a time when Gallade would practice its moves and Toxicroak would actually like to watch from the sidelines.

It seems they even went up to Gallade and asked her for some advice.

So it was to learn the swallow's return technique.

The challenger stared blankly at the fallen Mushroom, blinking in disbelief.

Just now... was that a swallow returning?

Is that correct?

Everyone here is a fighter, so why can you learn the Swallow Return?

Even the Poison Skull Frog can respond with a tough stance. Why can the Rogue Crocodile learn from him, but he can't?

The challenger took out a Poké Ball. In today's challenge, he had to defeat Toxicroak and see the Gym Leader's last Pokémon.

"Go on, Luke the Cat."

The second form of the Röntgen Cat, I never expected the last one to say this.

"Lucky Cat, Quick Attack!"

"Next."

Raise both hands to block the charging Luke the cat.

He then kicked the cat away.

Toxicroak suddenly realized that his use of U-turn to knock down Breloom seemed to have gone against his original intention of training Pokémon.

He was also helpless. He had clearly applied a potent poison to the spirochete, so why did it still collapse so easily?

I was so moved by the enthusiasm of the mushroom that I unconsciously went too far.

Who knew the velvet mushroom couldn't hold on?

We need to tone it down this time.

This little kitten in front of me doesn't have the poison-healing properties of the Hatchompum and can't withstand its potent venom.

The cat landed, lowered its body, and let out a low growl.

"100,000 volts!"

The poisonous skeletal frog suddenly rolled to the left.

"Avoid the sludge bomb."

The poison scorpion frog steadied itself, puffed out its venom sac, and spat out five or six clumps of mud, which scattered around the lechcat's body.

The sludge bomb wasn't very fast, but Luke the Cat was still blown away.

Is this even acceptable? With this level of skill, you still dare to challenge the gym?

Is the dojo challenge a test for him, or for me?

Leccat got up, his eyes cold and unwavering.

The Poison Skull Frog seemed to see its former self, and its eyes lit up.

It's not that we can't try testing this guy.

"Break the tile!"

"Mad Volt!"

Leccat let out a loud cry and ran away quickly, crackling with lightning.

The hand that rammed into the Poison Skull Frog released all the lightning.

The energy conflict caused an explosion, and the Poison Skull Frog slid backward several meters.

The lightning left him with some wounds.

The Lukecat's body crackled with lightning, clearly indicating that it had been severely injured by the backlash from Mad Volt.

But with a roar, the Lecter cat paid no attention to his injuries.

All they could see was the desire to win.

"Poison Skull Frog, Brick Breaker!"

"Luck Cat, crush it."

The Lux cat fully demonstrates the flexibility of a cat's body, bending its body and biting the arm of the poisonous skull frog.

Poison Skull Frog smiled slightly and slammed its left paw into the head of Leccatcher.

Then, with a gentle kick, he sent the cat Lecter flying.

The challenger yelled, "Luck Cat, hang in there!"

Leccat roared, and its body suddenly glowed with white light.

The challenger was overjoyed. Was this the legendary Midas touch?

Lukecats have evolved!
