Elf: The Crimson Path of Legend

Page 147

The reason this battle has lasted this long is simply because the owner of the rogue crocodile doesn't want it to end.

Or perhaps the trainer of this Krookodile is instructing the trainer of this Crobat, which is why the situation appears to be at a stalemate.

However, the Crobat trainer didn't seem to realize this, and continued to issue commands for Crobat to attack, believing that his strength was equal to his opponent's.

This is very difficult for Crobat, as its owner is completely unaware that it can easily defeat a Pokémon, and still lets it launch an attack.

That rogue crocodile has its reasons. What is my strength compared to yours? How dare you attack me? Do you really think you can be arrogant just because I'm being lenient with you?

"Roar!!!"

The rogue crocodile couldn't stand it any longer and roared at its owner behind it, a spirited young girl.

"Then let's end it!"

Seeing that the other side seemed oblivious, the girl sighed softly and then said to the rogue crocodile, "Go easy on me."

"Gurgle~ Hoo~!"

　1.6 The rogue crocodile nodded slightly, turned around, and looked at the Crobat rushing towards it. Although the opponent was very fast, it was able to easily catch the opponent's movements.

So, in the instant the other party gets close.

Raise your claws and chop!

boom!

The Crobat, unsurprisingly, lay on the ground with its eyes rimmed. The Rogue Crocodile didn't even need to use any special moves; it was simply knocked unconscious.

And so, the normal battle ended.

The middle-aged man in the purple ninja outfit sighed softly, then shook his head slightly, raised his hand, and announced:

"Crobat is unable to battle, and Krookodile has won. The winner of this Fuchsia Gym challenge is..."

"Touko from the Unova area!"

.........................................

174. Reencounter with Touko, the Scarlet Gym Challenge! (Please subscribe to the full series!)

That's right, the girl's name is Touko.

This rogue crocodile, possessing both intimidation and overconfidence as its special effects, was trained by the girl who had previously met Red in Cerulean City.

The heroine of the fifth generation...Touko!

And the trainer of the Crobat that she battled was none other than Annie, the daughter of Kaori, the Gym Leader of Fuchsia City!

As for that middle-aged man in purple ninja attire, he was none other than the famous candidate for the Four Heavenly Kings of Johto, the "Poison Ninja"...A-Ju!

"..."

At this moment, Ah Xing, who had lost the battle, stood there in a daze for a long time before finally putting the Crobat, which had lost its ability to battle, back into its Poké Ball.

She herself, however, looked bewildered and dejected, standing quietly in place, staring at the Poké Ball in her hand, lost in thought.

"Harmful...".

Seeing that Ah-Xing ignored the victorious Touko and stood there by herself, seemingly lost in thought, Ah-Ju shook her head in disappointment.

How can we let him go to the city of Johto with peace of mind?

"Come back and rest, you rogue crocodile."

23 Meanwhile, Touko, who was left standing on the field, looked at A-Xing, who seemed to have been severely hit, with some embarrassment. Then she patted Krookodile on the shoulder and recalled it into its Poké Ball.

And it was at this time.

Crimson, who was standing at the entrance, also closed the wooden door of the Crimson Gym. Seeing that the battle was over, he walked towards the arena.

"Welcome to Fuchsia Gym. Hello, are you here to challenge Fuchsia Gym as well?"

As A-Ju was handing the light red badge to Touko, she noticed the arrival of the crimson one and asked him a question.

"..."

Crimson nodded slightly in response.

"Who are you? Akane!"

After accepting the crimson badge, Touko turned around and looked over. When she saw the boy who often appeared in her mind, the joy of seeing him again made her excited.

Ignoring everyone else, he rushed over.

"..."

Upon seeing this, Chi Hong's eyebrows twitched, and he instinctively wanted to dodge, but seeing the girl's joyful expression, he did not take any action.

She let the other person rush over and hug her.

"We finally meet again, Akane..."

Nestled in the crimson embrace, the girl inhaled deeply its crimson aura. As she regained her senses, a blush spread across her fair face.

Immediately afterwards, under the strange gazes of Akane, Aki, and the attracted A-Xing, Touko stood up nonchalantly and greeted Akane:

"Long time no see, Akashi. I was a little excited just now, please don't mind..."

As she spoke, Touko, who was usually a tomboy, revealed a rare girlish shyness, and her tone even carried a hint of coquetry.

"fine..."

Crimson nodded slightly, indicating that she didn't mind, then turned her gaze to Aju, a fighting spirit flashing in her eyes, and said:

"I am Crimson from Pallet Town, here to challenge the Crimson Gym!"

"Are you going to challenge the gym?... "

Before A-Ju could speak, A-Xing was startled and exclaimed in surprise. Then she whispered to Red, "I need to treat my Pokémon now, could you wait a moment...?"

"Ah Xing!"

Upon hearing this, A-Ju frowned, put on a stern face, and called out to A-Xing in a deep voice.

"Father, I'm sorry..."

Ah Xing was startled again, immediately realizing she had made a mistake. Thinking she was about to be scolded again, Ah Xing quickly lowered her head and sobbed.

"Sigh, fine, you be the temporary referee and observe carefully."

Seeing this, A-Ju shook her head, sighed softly, said something to A-Xing, and then spoke to Chi-Hong beside her:

"I am the Gym Leader of Fuchsia Gym, A-Ju!"

"I accept your challenge!"

"Get ready for the challenge at the Fuchsia Gym!"

After saying that, Ah Ju ignored Ah Xing's surprised expression and walked straight to the other side of the battlefield.

"Go for it, Aka!"

After cheering for Red, Touko retreated to the edge of the arena and sat down in the stands to watch Red's gym challenge.

"..."

Crimson stepped back a few paces and stood on the other side of the battlefield, opposite Aju, placing her hand on the Pokémon belt at her waist, ready for battle.

"Huh? Father, are you going to fight this guy yourself?"

Only Ah Xing remained on the field, staring at Chi Hong with a look of astonishment, muttering to herself:

"This guy doesn't seem like a match for Father at all..."

"Ah Xing!"

"Focus on your duties as a referee, understand?"

"Ah, it's Father!"

Amidst Ah Ju's yet another disgruntled murmur, Ah Xing finally realized what she needed to do. She quickly retreated to the sidelines and raised her hand to announce:

"The Crimson Gym Challenge will pit Crimson, a challenger from Pallet Town, against the father of the Crimson Gym Leader!"

"The battle rules for the Fuchsia Gym are 2v2. When all of one side's Pokémon are unable to battle, the other side wins!"

"Furthermore, during the battle, only the challenger has the right to freely switch Pokémon, while if the Gym Leader wants to switch Pokémon, that Pokémon will be considered to have lost its ability to battle!"

"Now, both sides, please send out your Pokémon to begin the first battle!"

"Go, Moro!"

After Ah-Xing finished explaining the battle rules, Ah-Ju, as the gym leader, was the first to throw out her Poké Ball.

A white light flashed from the Pokémon and landed on the field; a Pokémon with the appearance of a moth appeared on the field.

It has a pale purple body and a belly covered with white down, and its eyes are like water bubbles with black pupils inside.

Its mouthparts consist of two sharp teeth, it has three slender protrusions on the top of its head, three pairs of small legs on its chest, and two pairs of large wings on its back, which are covered with purple, toxic phosphorus powder.

This is the final evolution of Mothball in the Kanto region, the Poison Moth Pokémon... Morveo!
