Xiaozhi and his party have arrived at an area in the southern part of Platycodon City.
Here you can already see a rather primitive dojo in the distance. It has a brick roof and wooden house material, and it seems to have a certain history.
There are various high-rise buildings and roads with cars on both sides, and the dojo stands in the middle, which looks a bit out of place.
Platycodon Gym, a flying attribute gym in the Johto area.
In the Kanto region, Nibi Gym is the first stop for many new trainers, and similarly, Kikyo Gym is also the first stop for most trainers in the Johto region.
...
...
Several people walked near the gym. There was a straight road in front of the gym, with benches for rest placed a few meters apart on both sides.
Xiaozhi also noticed that there were two people sitting on a bench not far away, a man and a woman. Their backs were turned so that they could not see their faces clearly.
The man has short blue hair, while the woman has long wavy brown hair, with a few bright red hairs as embellishments.
The two of them were leaning together like a couple, looking into the distance, looking very intimate.
"Shh..."
Seeing this, Xiaozhi and the others were too embarrassed to disturb the couple's interaction, so they had to tiptoe past them and approach the gate of the Platycodon Gym.
"But why do I seem to have seen this woman's back somewhere...?"
As they passed by, Xiaozhi was still muttering secretly.

...
Soon, several people stepped up the steps, Xiaozhi took a deep breath and knocked on the door of the dojo.
After a while, the door opened from the inside, and several men wearing white monastic uniforms walked out, curiously poking their heads out.
"Hello, I am Xiaozhi from Zhenxin Town, and I want to challenge the Platycodon Gym!"
Xiaozhi immediately declared war.
This is his first battle in this new area, so there is no room for error!
"Oh, it's the challenger. Welcome. Our senior brother is resting outside. Didn't you see him when you came?"
Junior Brother A said with a smile.
"Outside? Is that the man with blue hair?"
Xiaozhi was stunned and remembered the blue-haired man sitting on the bench before.
"That's right, haha. In this case, you guys come in first, and I'll call Senior Brother for you."
Junior Brother B said enthusiastically.
"Oh, don't worry, don't worry, your senior brother seems to be still in love, we can go in first and wait."
Xiaogang next to him had already answered for Xiaozhi.
As a matter of fact, interrupting other people's love at this time is no different from throwing someone into their ancestor's grave.
Xiaogang hates this kind of behavior!
Hearing this, Junior Brother A was stunned and blurted out:
"Dating? Our senior brother doesn't like women."
Junior Brother B quickly retorted:
"Don't talk nonsense. Didn't Senior Brother like the purple-haired girl who came last time? The girl with the insect net. At that time, the two of them slept together."
"Idiot, that person is a trainer from the Gym. He's a man. He's bigger than you when he pulls it out!"
Another junior fellow student C came out to refute.
At this time, Junior Brother A from the beginning spoke weakly:
"That's why I said that senior brother doesn't like women..."
The situation suddenly became chaotic, and Xiaozhi and the other three were stunned for a while, but they understood one thing.
The woman with big brown waves outside is not their senior brother's girlfriend.
So Xiaozhi and the three of them curiously followed their junior brother ABCD back out again and walked towards the direction of the horizontal chair, with expressions as if they were watching a show.
After all, gossip is human nature.
When they returned there again, they saw a blue-haired man and a brown-haired woman sitting together. The noisy voices of the people finally made the blue-haired man turn his head in confusion.
...
"Hey, why are you all out?"
Asu asked curiously.
Platycodon Gym is also a training venue open to the public, and the gym leader is their senior brother.
Bird trainer, Asu.
The movement also caused the wavy brown-haired woman sitting next to him to turn her head. What caught her eye was the face of a handsome giant bird, its sharp beak, its arrogant and cool long feathers that spread down the back of its head, and its long hair in the shape of a waterfall.
"Bi Diao Diao?"
It made a questioning cry.
This is a eagle.
Xiaozhi and three others: "?"
"I just said that senior brother doesn't like women! How can he fall in love outside!"
"Don't be embarrassed, Senior Brother's eagle is female..."
Asu: "?"
...
...
Soon, several people returned to the gym.
Xiaozhi introduced himself to Asu and expressed that he wanted to challenge the gym.
"Really New Town? This is a far away place... Then I, Asu, will accept this challenge."
Asu, who was wearing a high-end Taoist uniform, nodded and led a few people deeper into the interior.
Seriously, New Town, I seem to have heard of this place somewhere recently...?
After a while, everyone arrived at a competition venue.
This is the rooftop of the wooden house venue. Although it looks like a completely closed brick roof from the outside, in reality, it is an open flat field above.
There are not even any walls or ceilings around to block it, and the air currents and breezes blow freely, making the upper half of the venue completely open.
The four disciples...including the ceiling, it should be called the five walls of the disciples.
Naturally, the flying attribute gyms and competition venues must be sufficient to meet the requirements of sky combat.
"The rules of the competition are 3v3. Challengers can change Pokémon at will. Once all Pokémon on one side cannot fight, the winner will be determined..."
Junior Brother A, who is the referee, read according to the instructions.
Looking at the Pikachu on Xiaozhi's shoulder, he thought Xiaozhi was a newcomer, so he read out the rules in full carefully.
Asu also looked at Xiaozhi up and down. The latter didn't look very strong, and he had a plan in mind.
Although Kikyo Gym is the first stop for new trainers in the Johto area, this does not mean that Kikyo Gym is weak.
On the contrary, Asu will adjust the difficulty according to the level of the challenger. The flying attribute is not a violent attribute, so it is a very suitable place for new trainers to start.
"I understand, let's get started!"
Xiaozhi interrupted directly, his eyes fiery.
Seeing this, Asu nodded. Most of the new trainers' eyes were so fiery, which made him become a little more serious.
It's a waste of time, but he will still leave an unforgettable impression on the new couple!
"Come out!"
Thinking of this, Ah Su threw the elf ball first, a red light flashed, and a brown-gray bird with a spherical body appeared in front of him.
He has a pair of big orange-red round eyes, black eyebrows that are upwardly tilted in the shape of an arrow, and stands on one foot on the playing field, looking dazed.
Ash also threw his Poke Ball at the same time.
A red light flashed, and a cute Pokémon with a light green body, alpaca-like limbs, and a large leaf on top of its head appeared in front of him.
...
"Snapped!"
Next to them, Xiaogang and Xiaoxia gave a high-beat, and crisp sounds echoed around them.
"It's indeed a chrysanthemum leaf!"
"Haha, I finally guessed it too!"
The two of them smiled and said, looking comfortable.
