Chapter 364: The Gym Trainer Who Lost Confidence

Ah Li jumped up from the ground and finally plucked up the courage to confess his true feelings, "Lucario, please understand, I no longer want to be a gym trainer!"

This is why Lucario launched special training for Ali early in the morning. It could not accept Ali's attitude and tried to cheer her up in this way!

However, facing Ah Li's stubbornness, Lucario launched another wave of missiles, but Ah Li easily defused it with one punch, which surprised Lucario!

Leiji stepped forward and asked softly: "Is it because of Shinji?"

This sentence made Ah Li stunned for a moment, and it obviously touched a painful place deep in her heart.

Seeing Xiaoguang and Lila's confused faces, Reisi explained, "The Curtain Gym is a fighting-type gym. Shinji used flying-type Pokémon with favorable suitability to prepare combat strategies and cultivate them into shape. The Gentleman Crow made Li’s first two Pokémon lose their fighting ability in an instant!”

Ash and the others all had an impression of that Gentleman Crow. Shinji had used it before in the Scorpio King incident!

The level is also close to level 40. It is simply a dimensionality reduction attack when used against fighting Pokémon!

"In the end, when he faced Ali's Lucario, Shinji also used the duck-billed Charmander with good adaptability to fight and won!"

No need to think about it, Xiaozhi also understood that Li lost confidence at that time. The losses in the first two games must have affected her mentality. Otherwise, this level 40 Lucario should not be defeated easily no matter what. Coming from the battle!

"There is absolutely no tacit understanding between Lucario and I. That would not be considered a gym trainer-level battle. I can understand why the challenger said that in the end..."

Ah Li lowered his head and recalled the process of that game. He was completely confused about the path he insisted on!

"Did he say something?"

"This is the easiest battle so far. It's such a weightless badge..."

Ah Li recounted what Shinji said after getting the badge. This became the last straw that broke the camel's back, forcing Ah Li to re-examine whether he could really be a qualified gym trainer!

"That's exactly what this guy would say."

Ash shook his head. Shinji only respected trainers who were stronger than him.

His own words are quite special, because he defeated Mr. Jindai who made his brother give up his identity as a trainer!

That's why Shinji has a paranoid attitude towards Ash, to prove something!

"Failure is not terrible, Ms. Li. As long as you sum up your experience while failing, and keep an eye on your Pokémon, that's the most important thing!"

Xiaoguang couldn't help but speak out, because she saw her fledgling self in the young lady in front of her.

So she couldn't help but say what Xiaozhi said to enlighten her.

"No, it's my lack of strength that makes this happen. I understand what Lucario wants to express to me, but I've already..."

Ah Li still couldn't face the frustration of being crushed. Not wanting to continue to be embarrassed in front of her idol, she turned around and ran away.

Lucario still wanted to catch up, but Ah Li stopped him without looking back, "Don't follow me!"

"What should we do, Ash? Do we really have to go to other gyms?"

Lila patted the negative electricity in her arms, walked to Xiaozhi, and said with some emotion.

After all, if people who are gym trainers have lost their sense of fighting, it will be difficult to persuade others.

"Well..."

Just when Xiaozhi was about to speak, Xiaoguang volunteered to stand up and said, "Wait a minute, I can't just let this matter go, please let me go and talk to her, okay?"

Xiaoguang can understand Li's mood. If it weren't for Xiaozhi, he might have lost confidence in participating in the gorgeous contest.

That's why Xiaoguang wants to help her!

"Lucario, do you know where Miss Ali will go?"

Hearing this, Lucario nodded, showed a grateful smile, and then took Xiaoguang and chased in the direction where Li left!

Xiaozhi didn't stop them, but silently watched them leave.

Only those who have been in the rain will want to hold an umbrella for others when they are in the rain. It is a good choice to leave Li's situation to Xiaoguang.

"Li and Lucario are well-known fighting partners here in Curtain City. She dreams of making herself stronger, so it is good for her to become a gym trainer. However, during the battle, Li's I feel confused!"

Lei Si brought Xiaozhi and Lila home to entertain them.

While preparing drinks for them, he introduced the situation.

Xiaozhi and Lila, two experienced trainers, both expressed their understanding of Li's situation.

Especially Lila, as the leader of the combat zone, she is well aware of the tremendous pressure that comes with this role.

Although she has not experienced the stage that Ah Li is in, she understands that the outcome of each duel will have a profound impact on the challenger's life.

Ah Li also realized this, so he felt that every battle seemed so heavy.

So she is confused, scared, and sometimes even questions herself!

And the appearance of Shinji shattered her self-confidence even more, and then the scene just happened!

"Actually, Li admires you very much, Xiaozhi!"

At this time, Lei Si changed the subject and looked at Xiaozhi, "You may not know it yourself, but in the eyes of fighters like Li, you are a master. Whether it is your Blaziken, Lizard King, or your wonderful performances in major competitions, I have watched them one by one."

"Even as an outsider like me, I can deeply feel the shock and charm brought by your original fighting skills!"

Li had also shown this just now.

It's just that she is in a low period at the moment, and she feels ashamed in front of Xiaozhi, and feels that she is not worthy of being the gym trainer challenged by Xiaozhi!

"Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Lei Si."

In response, Xiaozhi chuckled and said, "No problem, leave it to Xiaoguang, I believe she will come back with a brand new Miss Li."

After all, Xiaoguang's debut was a tortuous one, which should give this young gym trainer a lot of psychological experience.

After that, he turned his sight to the badges and trophies placed in the living room, which were dazzling.

The eight badges in Sinnoh, Fengyuan, Chengdu, and Kanto all indicate that Rei was once an outstanding Pokémon trainer.

And among the symbols of dominating the battle frontier, there is only one missing.

Xiaozhi knows that it was a turning point in Rei's career as a trainer. What is missing is the proof of challenging the battle pyramid and defeating Mr. Kamishiro!
