There is actually no suspense in the battle between Gu Xin and Red. Charizard has been poisoned, and Super Bad Star's double defense is too good.

Although the red Charizard is a double-sword type (excellent in both physical and special attacks), it is useless.

The next battle is actually torture for Chi Hong, and a normal person would most likely have given up by this time.

Because there is no possibility of winning at all.

However, Chihong's will is indeed tenacious. Although the situation has become extremely disadvantageous, he still has not given up and is looking for opportunities.

However, this kind of undaunted persistence does not always pay off.

During another poisonous attack, Charizard was knocked to the ground again by the super bad star's venom impact, but this time Charizard did not stand up.

"Charizard loses his ability to fight, and Super Bad Star wins."

"Since the challenger Chi Hong has lost all four elves, this battle will be won by Gu Xin, the leader of the hall."

Xiaolan waved a small flag to announce the result of the battle.

Upon hearing this announcement, his red eyes flickered dimly, but then they became hot again, staring at Gu Xin eagerly.

"Will even Brother Chi lose..."

On the contrary, Xiaozhi, who was watching the battle, was shrugging his shoulders in great disappointment. The brother he had always admired and admired in his heart actually lost, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

The Charmander next to Xiaozhi's feet was staring blankly at the fallen Senior Charizard, wondering what he was thinking.

"No trainer can guarantee that he will always win 100%, Xiaozhi."

Xiaogang patted Xiaozhi on the shoulder, smiled and comforted him, "How can there be a truly invincible trainer?"

"Even the champion who stands at the top of the league is not victorious in every battle, not to mention that Chihong is still so young, and ah~"

Xiaogang looked at Chihong with a somewhat complicated expression. In fact, Chihong was really a very scary new trainer.

but……

Xiaogang looked at Gu Xin again.

"Gu Xin is really strong, and his application of the poison system is so good. It's not surprising that Chi Hong will lose. However, a very important thing for a trainer is whether he can learn from failures to make himself stronger.

."

"Xiao Zhi, do you think your brother is this kind of person?"

Xiaogang suddenly asked.

"Of course!" Xiaozhi did not hesitate.

"That's right, I think the same thing as you." Xiaogang smiled.

"But……"

"It's nothing to worry about. These two guys are both monsters, so there's really nothing to worry about."

Xiaoxia curled her lips and interrupted Xiaozhi. Whether it was Gu Xin or Chi Hong, they were both the same monsters in Xiaoxia's eyes. It was no surprise who would win or lose.

"Speaking of which, do you think Gu Xin will give the Lotta badge to Chihong?"

Xiaoxia is more concerned about this issue now.

"Ah?" Xiaozhi was stunned and scratched his head in confusion.

"Brother Chi didn't succeed in the challenge, didn't he?" Xiaozhi asked his doubts.

As for gym badges, aren’t they trophies and certificates that can only be obtained by the challenger defeating the gym leader?

"Who told you that you have to defeat the gym owner to get the badge?" Xiaoxia replied angrily.

Isn't that true?

Three question marks appeared on Xiaozhi's head.

"Xiao Zhi, the gym is an alliance facility for training trainers. Fundamentally speaking, the gym is actually equivalent to an assessment."

Xiaogang patiently explained that as a trainer of the Dark Gray Gym, Xiaogang has a strong say.

"The final decision on whether a gym badge should be given to a challenger lies with the gym leader. Defeating the gym leader and gaining the gym owner's approval is the most straightforward way, because this is a disguised way of proving one's strength to the gym leader."

"But sometimes, when the gym leader recognizes the challenger, even if the challenger fails, the gym leader will still choose to give the challenger his own badge."

Xiaogang described it in great detail. He had given badges to several newcomers he thought had potential like this before.

"There is no need to question Chihong's strength. Even if he did not defeat Gu Xin, Gu Xin could actually choose to give Chihong the badge, but the decision-making power rests with Gu Xin."

Xiaogang smiled and said, Xiaogang actually has no doubt at all that even if Chihong participates in the Quartz Conference with his current strength, the probability of winning is very high.

After all, both Gusin and Red were able to defeat Team Rocket leader Apollo.

However, some gym owners require that challengers must defeat themselves, so Xiaogang and Xiaoxia are not sure whether Gu Xin will give the red badge.

"That's it." Xiaozhi suddenly realized.

"But..." Xiaozhi tilted his head. If Gu Xin really wanted to give the Lota badge to Brother Chi, would Brother Chi accept it?

On the field.

"A great battle, Chi Hong, you are the first powerful enemy I have defeated in a real sense."

"I'm very happy about this battle."

Gu Xin walked up to Chi Hong, stretched out his hand and smiled.

Of course I'm happy. He had a great time in this battle~

Next to Gu Xin was none other than the Super Bad Star. This child was still the same as when he was the Good Bad Star, following Gu Xin shyly.

"Thank you, I have benefited a lot."

Chi Hong held Gu Xin's palm with one hand, and pressed down the brim of his peaked cap with the other hand, habitually covering his eyes with shadows.

"I will challenge you again!"

Chi Hong rarely talked more outside of battle, and even if there was a shadow covering him, you could still feel the burning gaze in his eyes at this moment.

Although the result of this gym battle was not good, Chi Hong did not particularly care about the defeat. This was not the first time he lost to his peers.

When he just left Zhenxin Town, he lost to his childhood sweetheart and old enemy Qinglu.

But does it matter? No, after traveling during this time, Chihong and the arrogant guy met four times by chance, maybe it was fate.

And every time they meet, they will inevitably fight. So far, their record is two wins and two losses.

From Chihong's point of view, defeat is not terrible, losing to others only means a little bit.

Not strong enough!

A real and unforgettable failure experience is actually an extremely precious experience. It will not defeat him! It will only make him learn from this failure and become stronger!

Until you reach the top of Kanto! Until you become the top of the world!

"I'm looking forward to your next challenge."

Gu Xin looked directly into the red eyes that looked a little darker due to the shadow of the hat brim, and the smile on the corner of his lips seemed to be a little higher.

Then Gu Xin took out a delicate small box from his pocket. After opening it, there was a shining emerald green tree-shaped badge inside. The badge was small and beautiful, and the emerald green color was fresh and bright, full of vitality.

This is the gym badge of his Lota Gym.

"Although you didn't defeat me, Chi, you are qualified to get this Lotta badge."

Gu Xin took out the Lota badge and handed it to Chi Hong.

Gu Xin has always considered himself a qualified gym leader. Although Chi Hong lost to him, Gu Xin knew very well that Chi Hong deserved this badge.

"..."

Chihong looked at the green Lota badge and fell into silence, not reaching out to pick it up.

"This is the first time I want to send a badge out after my 'transformation', Chi."

Gu Xin expressed his goodwill. He did not use this action to mock Chi Hong, but he meant it sincerely.

And this is the first badge he wants to give out after traveling through time!

"I can't have this badge..." Chi Hongyan shook his head concisely.

"I will go to your gym to challenge you next time, Gu Xin. I will defeat you openly and win your badge!"

His red and delicate face was serious and serious. This was the first time he said so much to a person he met on the first day.

And similarly, except for his childhood sweetheart, this is also the first time he has been defeated in front of other trainers of his generation!

"Oh?" Gu Xin raised his eyebrows.

They are indeed brothers. Although I had guessed that Chihong might not accept this 'free' badge, it seems that Chihong, like Xiaozhi, also has the characteristic of 'not admitting defeat'.

"Since you said so, I'll look forward to it, but Chihong, it's very difficult to defeat me and get my badge."

Gu Xin took back the Lota badge and spoke teasingly with a half-smile.

Since Chihong has such a determination, she can only be satisfied.

"Maybe you will never get my badge in this life."
