Chapter 105 Eden: Do You Think I Am Slacking Off when I Don’t Train Every Day?

"This store is open, but there is a sign saying "temporarily closed" on the door."

Gang and Xia slowly came to the door and found the sign saying "temporarily closed" which was completely ignored by Xiaozhi. However, after seeing that there seemed to be some customers inside, they thought it was just a mistake and didn't pay much attention to it.

"Long time no see, Qiaoqiao. I didn't expect you to be on the Red Lotus Island too." Xiaogang, with narrowed eyes, showed teeth whiter than black people. "I remember that you are also challenging gyms to collect badges like Xiaozhi. Have you got Xia Bo's crimson badge?"

In recent years, Xia Bo has been playing badly and rarely accepting challenges from trainers. Even the gyms on the surface have become ruins. It can be said that almost everyone who can get a badge is a young man recognized by the old man.

If it is the young man in front of him, it should not be a big problem to get the crimson badge.

Speaking of which.

Xiaogang looked around in confusion. It seems that he didn't see Xia Bo?

At this moment, he saw what Zhou You showed in his hand...

"Badge? Of course I have it."

Zhou You smiled and put his hand deep into his pocket, holding up four red badges with the same shape, all like burning flames.

"Look, crimson badges."

And there are four of them!

One of them is his, and the other three are given to him by Xia Bo to be handed to challengers.

But now Crimson Island is no longer the holy land of the trainer. No one has come to challenge except Xiaozhi in the past two days.

Zhou You is naturally happy to be free.

"Why are there so many? Did you rob the Crimson Gym?" Xiaozhi immediately showed an incredible look.

Could it be that the same gym actually allows multiple challenges to obtain badges?

In this case, can he fight with Xiaogang and Xiaoxia a few more times and only rely on 4 dark gray and 4 cyan badges to participate in the Quartz Conference?

"Although I don't know what you are thinking exactly now, at least it is definitely wrong."

Zhou You put away the badge and smiled knowingly: "To be honest, I am not only Zhou You of Pallet Town. In addition to this identity, I am also Xia Bo, the leader of the Honglian Gym in Honglian Town!"

After saying that, he turned around gorgeously!

The next moment, a middle-aged man with a slanted top wearing gentleman's clothes and sunglasses appeared in front of Xiaozhi and his group and Pikachu!

"Xia, Xia Bo!"

"Pikachu, Pikachu!?"

"How is this possible?"

"Cross-dressing? No, no matter how much you dress up, it is impossible to change your hair roots and body shape so drastically!"

Xiaozhi was stunned, Pikachu was shocked, Xiaoxia was stunned, and Xiaogang was amazed!

"Tajkiboyi!"

Only Togepi, who was held in Xiaoxia's arms and blocked her exposed figure due to her belly-baring outfit, smiled and appreciated the expressions of these people.

Togepi is a very happy person.

But within a few seconds, Xiaozhi reacted: "No, this is actually Eden's illusion, right? It has been trained so that its tail will not show up now?"

"Clang clang clang☆Shocking fact!"

Eden, who was exposed, removed the illusion and jumped onto the counter.

This time, it transformed into Pikachu again, imitating Pikachu's expression like a mirror projection.

"Pikachu?" So the badge just now was also an illusion?

"No, that's not the case. The four crimson badges are indeed real."

Seeing that Pikachu was a little suspicious, Zhou You threw all the badges on the counter with a loud bang: "But I'll leave you first."

Then he came to the door and blocked the three people who were also about to ignore the "temporarily closed" sign and enter the store.

"I'm really sorry, the boss is out for something, and the Crimson Restaurant only accepts regular customers these days."

"By the way, this guest, are you..."

Zhou You's eyes fell on the sword-like hairstyle of one of the three women.

"Do people often praise you for being like a female star?"

"!!!"

Hearing this, Musashi, who was disguised as a lady, suddenly burst into dazzling light in her eyes: "Oh hehehe! Little brother, you are so sweet, of course, because I am a female star!"

Zhou You: "..."

"Pika?"

"You said that this voice seems a little familiar?" Xiaozhi tilted his head and thought.

"It seems so, and the appearance of these three people seems a little familiar." Xiaoxia nodded.

"Tajkiboi!"

"Strange, such an old and mature woman should be just within my defense range, but why doesn't my body have any instinctive reaction?" Xiaogang felt the radar in his body and wondered.

Eden was stunned.

You are really face-blind!

Aren't these three people the ones who cheered for Pikachu outside when you challenged the Vermilion Gym last time!

"Team Rocket!" Zhou You shouted.

"Damn, where did the flaw come from, meow!"

"That's right, since you are so sincere..."

Before the trio could finish their opening remarks.

Eden used his magical power to blast the three people into the sky.

"What a disgusting feeling! (meow)!"

...

"Okay, let's talk about Xia Bo's matter. It's actually like this..."

After briefly summarizing what happened in the past few days, Xiaozhi realized that his childhood friend had become a temporary gym trainer by chance when Xia Bo was away.

In other words, as long as he defeated him in a battle, he could get the crimson badge of the Red Lotus Gym!

Thinking of this, his eyes suddenly lit up with fighting spirit!

After exchanging a glance with Pikachu, Xiaozhi took a deep breath and said, "In that case, let's fight!"

"No need, I know your level very well, Xiaozhi, the badge will be given to you directly." Zhou You handed the badge to Xiaozhi without hesitation.

"Huh?"

"This seems to be against the rules." Xiaogang, who was already squinting, frowned and said, "Even if you are from the same hometown, you should only issue the badge after the battle. Giving away the badge for free will be blacklisted by the alliance."

Xiaoxia shuddered inexplicably.

"It doesn't matter, even if I am just an acting gym trainer, I am also qualified to issue badges to those who pass the test.

"As for the specific content of this test, I have the final say. "

"Pikachu? "

Pikachu understood Zhou You's implication, which means we need to complete the test outside of the battle?

Zhou You rubbed Pikachu's head and took out a black and white photo with poor pixels from under the counter: "This is the photo taken by Eden during the investigation in Gemini Island these two days. What do you think the Pokémon it photographed is?"

Xiaozhi, who had seen the things in the photo at the Pokémon Center in Viridian Town, quickly recognized it.

"This is... Articuno! ?"

"Yes, this is a rare opportunity. I would like to invite you to go to Gemini Island with me to challenge and capture Articuno!

"How about it, there are exactly four of us in total. Do you want to go deep into Articuno's nest for a thrilling and exciting adventure... Ahem, I mean, do you want to have a 4-on-1 legendary team battle?"
