Chapter 242 Fighting Girl
Upon entering the gym, Ash was greeted by rows of gym trainees performing their routines in unison.
They all shouted loudly, "One, two, one, two—"
In front of these apprentices was a pretty girl with short, pink hair.
Beside her was a rare Pokémon with brown head and hands, and blue body and feet. The apprentices and their respective Pokémon were all following along with it, doing kicking motions.
Xiao Zhi instantly perked up and looked the girl up and down with a curious gaze.
Xiaoxia: "Shouldn't we be watching Pokémon?!"
"That's just Hitmonlee, what's so interesting about it?" Ash is very familiar with Fighting-type Pokémon.
This Hitmonlee is a Pokémon that can use gorgeous and fluid kicking techniques like a dance. Like Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan, it evolves from Braveboy.
The main problem is that its limbs are too thin, making it look like a malnourished child, which doesn't fit Ash's aesthetic preferences for fighting Pokémon.
In comparison, appreciating beautiful girls is more important.
The girl was wearing a light beige martial arts uniform, with a short, cropped top and matching shorts.
She wore light beige boots and dark blue wristbands.
She's a sporty beauty, unlike Xiaoxia.
"Are they training in Genzo-ryu martial arts?" Xiaoxia had never seen so many people doing the same movements in unison before.
"Hmph, it's just my granddaughter doing some useless training."
Suddenly, the girl clapped her hands. "Alright, everyone, remember the beautiful postures of these kicking and punching techniques, and don't forget to follow the rhythm."
Then she had Zhanbulang demonstrate his special moves to the apprentices. Zhanbulang quickly threw punches and kicked a few times, and then immediately transformed into a high-speed spinning top.
"What a beautiful kick! That spin is so gorgeous!" Xiaoxia exclaimed unconsciously, captivated by Zhanwulang's smooth inverted spinning kick.
But Genzo crossed his arms and shook his head with a serious expression.
"This is completely unacceptable! Martial arts aren't meant to be performed for people!" The old man seemed quite dissatisfied with his granddaughter's teaching.
The girl waved her hand immediately after the warrior finished his performance, signaling the apprentices to end their get out of class.
When the large group of apprentices passed by Elder Yuanzang, they would all respectfully bid him farewell.
"Grandpa, if this is your home, then this dojo is yours too."
Seeing how respectful everyone here was to the old man, Xiaoxia could roughly guess his identity.
As expected, Elder Yuanzang immediately nodded. "That's right, I am the head of this dojo!"
"Grandpa, who are these people?"
After the apprentices left, the pink-haired girl came to Ash's side.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the old man Genzo suddenly patted Satoshi on the shoulder and said to his granddaughter.
"Hehe, come and get to know me. I've finally found a suitable successor!"
"ah!?"
The girl and Xiaozhi were shocked, realizing that the old man's elaborate scheme to lure Xiaozhi here was not so simple.
"Grandpa, are you really so against me inheriting your dojo?" the girl asked indignantly.
The old man, however, laughed.
"My little Chigusa, you're simply not cut out for this!"
"Your fighting style with Senburou is just dancing; it's not the style of the Genzo school, which emphasizes practical combat."
"Nonsense! My fighting skills are very useful in actual combat!" Chigusa naturally disagreed with her grandfather's assessment of her.
"Oh ho, impossible!" Genzo's expression instantly turned smug.
"Why is it impossible!"
This mischievous old man was just teasing his granddaughter; Chigusa was completely led by Genzo's words.
Finally, Chigusa clenched her little fists with tears in her eyes, her beautiful eyes fixed on Satoshi.
"Since you want to be the heir to our gym, you'd better defeat my Pokémon first!"
-
"Ah, no, no, no." Ash just came here to freeload a meal.
However, the opponent was so brave as to directly challenge me to a Pokémon battle —
"Since our eyes have met, let's fight!"
The old man clearly wanted to use himself as a whetstone for his granddaughter, but the other party had already agreed to provide accommodation and a lavish meal.
Ash doesn't mind the fact that he can still engage in Pokémon battles.
"Since our eyes have met, let's go, young lady!"
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have triggered a new side quest, "Martial Arts Master": Quickly use your hard stuff (fists) to conquer the beautiful girl before you! There might be an unexpected surprise!]
【奖励：联盟币+4000；体力+2；攻击+2；特攻+2；自由属性点+3；随机对战券+1】
Ash glared back with sharp eyes, and Chigusa instantly felt as if she were facing a bloodthirsty beast.
Her legs instinctively went weak, but she quickly gritted her teeth and held on. She really didn't want to continue being looked down upon by her grandfather like this.
They definitely want to prove themselves.
As a renowned martial arts school in the Johto region, the Genzo-ryu Dojo naturally boasts comprehensive facilities, possessing all the necessary amenities.
The two sides arrived at the battlefield in the backyard of the Taoist temple, each taking out their Poké Balls and preparing to unleash their attacks.
But before the fight even started, there was a series of knocks coming from the dojo's door.
"Could it be Ayako, the Galar Karate successor we agreed to meet, who's finally here?"
Ash and Chigusa had to pause and follow Genzo to the main gate.
Unexpectedly, what appeared when the app was opened was not a young girl, but a tall, blue-haired young man wearing a black sports headband.
The other party bowed very politely to Mr. Genzo.
"Hello, I am Shirou, who is currently training in martial arts. I would like to ask the master of the long-established Genzo-ryu school to spar with me."
Upon hearing the other person's name, Elder Genzo and Chigusa were immediately surprised.
Ash was also surprised, "Shirou, why aren't you red-haired, Shirou?"
He also hurriedly and curiously looked behind Shirou, wanting to see if a certain ahoge (shaggy king) was following him.
Alas, the ugly state of Yue Chou.
At this moment, Chigusa suddenly showed even stronger hostility than she did towards Satoshi.
"I'm asking you, is that the person who's been challenging and breaking into Fighting-type Pokémon gyms lately? Is that you?"
""
With a cold laugh, the other party did not deny it at all.
"When I challenge the masters at the dojos, I use the dojo's signboard instead of badges as a wager, and I've collected nine so far."
"I came here because I wanted to use the most prestigious Genzo-ryu Dojo sign as my tenth one, which is of great commemorative value."
"Why did you do this?" Chigusa's hostility deepened.
Winning someone else's dojo signboard like this is an extremely humiliating thing.
A dojo whose signboard has been taken by someone else can forget about ever operating normally again.
So generally, unless they are enemies, no one would dare to challenge someone like that.
"I plan to open a new Fighting Pokémon Gym; it will have promotional value."
Shirou frankly stated his purpose.
This Shirou has already won nine gym titles in the Johto region, so his strength must be quite impressive.
"Hmph, I see. It seems you've only encountered weak gyms before."
"A dojo can't refuse a fair and square challenge. It's not that easy to take away my brand."
The old man, Genzo, opened the door to welcome the enemy, so the duel between Ash and Chigusa had to be postponed.
Chigusa is now staring at Satoshi for a while, then at Shirou, her little head constantly turning.
After thinking it over, I still felt that Shirou, who came to challenge me, was more hateful, so I decided to keep an eye on him for now.
Unexpectedly, when she turned her head, she found that Xiao Zhi was actually smiling at her cute appearance.
He immediately fixed his gaze on Ash.
"They're all annoying guys!"
