Chapter 189 Defeating A-Ju!
A beam of white light shone from the center of the arena, like the first rays of dawn piercing through thick clouds, instantly tearing away the surrounding darkness.
When the white light dissipated, Qingyuan looked towards the center of the arena.
Just like in his previous battle against Ariados, Scorpion King was now playing with Crobat's head in his pincers.
The Crossbat had by this time turned into a circle-eyed creature and lost its ability to fight.
"Greek!"
After slamming the Crobat to the ground, King Gliscor roared loudly.
He then performed a backflip and landed on the ground with an extremely arrogant posture.
"Well done, Scorpio King!"
Seeing this, Qingyuan smiled and encouraged Scorpio King.
"Ge Lei! (With me here, nothing unexpected will happen!)"
Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, the Scorpion King said rather narcissistically.
"Crobat is unable to fight, and Scorpion King is victorious!"
"Since all three of the Gym Leader's Pokémon are unable to battle, the winner of this Gym Challenge is Qingyuan from Viridian City!"
Aya, standing to the side, solemnly waved the command flag and announced the verdict.
She originally looked down on Qingyuan, who had skipped her test.
He was even thinking that after the gym challenge was over, he would go and cause trouble for Qingyuan.
This will let him know that skipping the test and directly challenging the gym will not end well.
But now, she's glad that it's just a plan and hasn't been implemented yet.
She didn't know about other things, but she did know about her brother Aju's Gu King Cross Bat.
If Qingyuan can defeat this guy, then beating her would be like a father beating a child.
Although she was a bit arrogant because of her brother's strength.
However, she was quite clear about her own abilities.
"You did a great job, Qingyuan. As expected of a trainer who has earned five badges, your strength is indeed formidable!"
Unaware of what her younger sister was thinking, A-Ju put away the Crobat that had lost its ability to fight.
He praised Qingyuan as he walked towards her.
"It was Ah Ju's powerful use of poison that truly impressed me!"
"Moreover, I learned a lot from A-Ju in this battle!"
Upon hearing A-Ju's words, Qingyuan almost reflexively responded modestly to A-Ju.
"That Scorpion King of yours really caught my eye."
"I'm very curious, what exactly is the reason that the Scorpion King is immune to poison!"
Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Aju smiled and said to Qingyuan.
As someone who can navigate both the legitimate and criminal worlds.
His current strength is not solely due to his daily hard training and the powerful poison techniques he inherited.
Most importantly, he never cared about saving face.
Even if the person standing here today is a weakling whom his main force could easily defeat.
However, he was still able to set aside his arrogance and seek guidance from Qingyuan.
With his keen eye, he could clearly see the potential of Qingyuan's poison-healing Scorpion King.
If this style of play becomes widespread, then...
His prized poison skills will definitely be largely rendered useless.
It's not impossible that even a Poison King of the Heavenly King level could be defeated by a Poison Healing Scorpion King who hasn't broken through to the Heavenly King level.
At that point, he would truly lose all face as a Champion-level trainer.
If he doesn't become one of the Elite Four, it would be good enough if people didn't rate him as the weakest Elite Four-level trainer in history.
We must develop a method to deal with the Poisonous Scorpion King before this situation occurs.
With this in mind, Ah-Ju chose to ask questions rather than risk social humiliation.
"This……"
Upon hearing this, Qingyuan looked conflicted.
Telling Aju about Scorpio King's situation is not out of the question.
After all, once he became one of the Elite Four, he interacted with the Elite Four members of Hoenn and Sinnoh.
He will definitely understand the poison therapy method.
But to let him just hand over the poison healing technique for nothing.
Qingyuan, who had never made a loss-making deal before, didn't want to do that.
Of course, if A-Ju does something impulsive, that's another story.
However, right now, Ah Ju won't be able to pull out anything good.
Can he just hand over the poison therapy technique like that?
Seeing Qingyuan's conflicted expression, Aju knew that if she didn't bring out something real today...
Qingyuan definitely wouldn't tell.
After preparing herself mentally, A-Ju solemnly took out a purple book and handed it to Qing Yuan.
"This is my family's ancestral poison technique. With this technique, you can teach an elf the poison skill without needing a skill CD, just by using human power!"
"It contains 2,816 different poison formulas that I developed over 18 years of drug production!"
"By combining different recipes, you can teach your Pokémon various highly poisonous skills with different effects!"
"I feel a sense of familiarity with Qingyuan today, so I'm giving it to you!"
Upon hearing this, Qingyuan quickly refused.
"Absolutely not! I've only met the master once, how could I accept such a generous gift!"
"Besides, I don't have any Poison-type Pokémon, so there's no use for them. Gym Leader, you'd better take them back quickly!"
"We must not let the secrets of the Crimson Dojo be revealed!"
After saying that, Qingyuan stretched out his hands and tightly grasped the purple book.
Then he pushed her hard towards Aju.
Hearing Qingyuan's words, Aju thought they made sense.
After all, he doesn't have a Poison-type Pokémon, so you can't just give him a Poison-type skill book.
If you give someone something useless, why would they be willing to hand over their poison therapy tactics to you?
So when Qingyuan pushed it back, he was just about to take back the poisonous manual and give Qingyuan something else in return.
But he discovered that Qingyuan's grip was so strong that he couldn't budge him for a moment.
Seeing Qingyuan's hands tightly gripping the poisonous manual, he immediately understood.
No amount of poisonous secret techniques worked on him; it was all bullshit. He just wasn't willing to pay the price.
Damn, if the price isn't right, just say so. Why all this fuss?
He thought it was a genuine poison technique that didn't apply to Qingyuan; what a hypocrite.
After realizing that one book on highly poisonous substances wasn't enough, Ah Ju pondered for a moment.
He then took out a crystal box from his spatial belt and said to Qingyuan.
"I traveled far and wide in search of a rare poison, and finally obtained a wondrous pearl!"
"This bead is extremely poisonous; anyone, human or elf, will be poisoned if they touch it with their bare hands!"
"I used it to refine several kinds of rare poisons, but now it is of no use to me. So I give it to you, my worthy brother, to express my joy at seeing you again!"
Looking at Aju's serious face, Qingyuan couldn't help but complain in his heart.
"Can't you just use plain language? Why do you have to use this half-literate stuff!"
"No matter how much you try to use your flowery language, people won't say you're highly educated!"
"It means you're a scumbag drug maker and an assassin!"
After mentally ranting, Qingyuan looked at the crystal box in Aju's hand.
