Capítulo 80: Dark Gym
"What do we do now?"
Kaz and Yas looked at each other with panic in their eyes. They didn't expect that even with these many people, they still had no chance to win against Hisoka.
In fact, what the two gym leaders didn't realize was the strength of their own men. Most of them were just amateur Pokemon trainers who only knew to harass ordinary citizens.
The battle came to a sudden stop. The people from the two gyms stared at Hisoka in shock. They didn't realize Hisoka's Pokemons were so strong. Heck, they weren't even injured in the slightest.
"So powerful," Ned said enviously.
He also wanted to become a strong Pokemon like that person. His dream was to beat these gangsters with his own Pokemon.
"Do you guys want to join his gym?" Ben said with mouth open wide.
He simply couldn't help himself. Children, after all, always yearned to be a hero. And Hisoka's feat of singling out against two gyms was like a hero from the legends in his young mind.
Peter nodded mutely. He was also awestruck by Hisoka's battle.
'Such a person surely can't be a bad guy,' Peter thought. He had changed his mind about Hisoka.
At this moment, the three little boys in hiding were eager to become a trainer like Hisoka.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Yas! I'm leaving this place!"
A man recalled his Pokemon and ran into the forest.
"Wah! Run!"
"There's no way we can beat that guy. I'm leaving!"
"Me, too!"
Following that, the others who were still hesitating made up their mind and quickly retrieved their Pokemon. Then, they turned around and ran into the forest, disappearing from view.
"..."
Soon, the plain became quiet. Many people had fled, leaving only Kaz and Yas alone.
Hisoka shook his head after seeing this scene.
How could you trust a bunch of people bought with money?
These street gangsters only dared to bully ordinary people at most. But when they encounter a powerful adversary, these people would run faster than anyone else.
The two gym leaders stood in the middle of the plain in shock after being abandoned by their men.
Hisoka looked at them and said, "Yo! Are we going to finish the fight? Or are you going to surrender?" Either way, both work for me. And by the way, none of your men had stayed behind. You guys will lose, certainly."
Hisoka's shout snapped the two gym leaders out of their shock. Then, they turned to Hisoka and glared, gritting their teeth in anger.
Kaz raised his finger to Hisoka and said, "Fuck you! You still have to beat us first if you want to become Dark City's Leader."
"Yeah! There's no way we will let you get that qualification that easy," Yas added.
"Oh well, let's get on with it," Hisoka shrugged in reply.
Kaz clenched his fist and said, "Electabuzz, use Quick Attack!"
"Come on, Scyther! X-Scissor."
Kaz ordered his Pokemon to attack first, followed by Yas.
Hisoka shook his head helplessly after seeing them ignoring his warning. He took a step back and raised his hand, pointing toward the rushing Pokemon.
"Rhydon! Use Hammer Arm on them!" he gave his own order.
Rhydon cried in reply and ran toward the opponents. The ground trembled with each step he took.
Hammer Arm is a Fighting-type move with a power rating of 100. However, this move put a lot of burden on the body, reducing the speed of the user, which was why Hisoka rarely let Rhydon use it in a battle.
Theoretically, this move should have no effect on Rhydon based on his powerful strength. Still, Hisoka didn't want to take any chance. Rhydon was already a slow Pokemon, to begin with. There was no need for him to make him any slower than this.
Bang!
Electabuzz hit Rhydon first. Only hurting him slightly.
Roar!
Rhydon grinned and swung his glowing white arm at the Electabuzz, knocking it to the ground.
Electabuzz lay on the ground, holding its chest in pain. The power of Rhydon's Hammer Arm just now was too strong, beyond the reach where it could endure.
It tried several times to stand up, but due to the pain, it failed. Slowly, it fainted on the ground with its unwilling cry.
Meanwhile, Scyther, with its flexible movement, managed to dodge Rhydon's swing. It lifted its scythes, aiming for his eyes.
Even so, Rhydon had long guessed that Scyther was going to attack his eyes. Quickly, he crossed his arms, blocking its attack. Then, he followed through with a frontal kick to Scyther's body.
Bang!
After successfully knocking the Scyther away, Rhydon swung his tail around ferociously. His tail glowed with a silvery light as it aimed for the gasping Scyther.
Iron Tail!
He slammed his tail on the Scyther.
Bang!
Scyther flew several times in the air before falling to the ground. Its eyes were spinning in circles, which meant that it no longer had any strength to fight.
Yas and Kaz became silent after seeing their unconscious Pokemon on the ground. They had utterly lost the battle. Helplessly, they could only recall their Pokemon and accept their fate.
Actually, they were unwilling to leave this city just like that. But under Hisoka's warning eyes, they could only give up.
As a matter of fact, they should be thankful to Hisoka. If it wasn't for the incoming Pokemon League inspector, Hisoka would just leave these two fools to the city management.
Right now, they were lucky to be getting out of the city alive, without the townspeople trying to lynch them.
...
This was a day that many residents of Dark City would forever remember. The two gyms that they hate were finally going to leave this city.
The local residents of Dark City rushed out of their houses as soon as they heard the news. They celebrated together in joy, cheering.
"Leave this city, you bastard! You are not welcome here!"
Meanwhile, Kaz and Yas were walking out of the city. They were being surrounded by the townspeople who looked at them with hatred in their eyes.
"Don't come back to this city again!"
"Yeah! Leave!"
Kaz and Yas kept their eyes on the ground. They truly didn't expect the local residents to hate them so much.
"Leave!"
Kaz and Yas didn't say a word and hastened their pace, afraid that someone would come out to beat them up.
...
Dark City Official Gym, Dark Gym.
The law expressly stipulated that the League official gym must have the same name as the local city.
To put it bluntly, you must use the same name as the city's name for your gym.
In the garden, Hisoka and Miss Joy from the Pokemon Inspection Agency were sitting, facing each other.
Although this Miss Joy in a beige trench coat looked exactly the same as the usual Miss Joy, she was truly different from her peers.
The usual Miss Joy, who worked in many Pokemon Centers, always gave him a gentle feeling.
But Hisoka felt threatened by her presence. Yes, you heard it right. Threat.
This was his first time feeling this from someone. Not even Matthias, the Chief Officer, made him feel this way.
So although Hisoka looked calm, his hands were sweating wet at this moment.
Miss Joy stared at the young man in front of her for a few moments.
"So, you're Hisoka? A few days ago, my cousin from Saffron City called me. She said that you want to compete for the official gym qualification in Dark City, correct?" she asked simply.
"Yeah, that's me," Hisoka smiled in reply.
Miss Joy hmmed and continued. "I checked your information. Although you work as a hunter, you don't have any criminal record. It's rare to see an Elite rank trainer at a young age like you. Being an orphan at that."
"Thank you for the praise," Hisoka bowed slightly.
"Do you want to drink anything, Miss Joy? Tea? Coffee?"
"I'm fine," Miss Joy waved her hand.
Then, her eyes became sharp.
"But don't be too proud. I knew what had happened in Dark City in the past few days. Well, what's done is done. Neither of them is qualified to become the official gym, so there's only you left," she said seriously.
She paused for a moment and continued, "And don't think I didn't know about your fight with them. So, I'll put you on the probationary list until you are fully ready for the job."
"Okay," Hisoka nodded slowly.
Then, she stood up and took a few documents from her coat and placed them on the table.
"This is the official gym certificate issued by the League. I will submit your information to the League soon. After a few days, the League will send a few pictures to you. It is your Gym Badge design. You can only choose from the pictures sent to you. Please remember that you do not have the right to design your own badge."
After saying a few words, she quickly left the gym without even waiting for Hisoka's reply.
Hisoka knew from her tone that this Miss Joy didn't like him at all. If it wasn't for Hisoka being the only gym left in Dark City, she might have chosen other people.
'Ah, forget it. What's more important is this,' Hisoka thought while looking at the gym certificate in his hand.
Finally, Dark Gym was now the twelfth official gym of the Kanto League.
After the news had spread, many trainers would start to come to Dark City. Hence, boosting the local economy.
'Perhaps this was why the League decided to give the qualification to Dark City?' Hisoka thought.
The first month would be hard for him. Because he knew that many rookie trainers would come to this city first. Usually, any newly opened gym would be much weaker than the old gym. So most of them would come here with the intention of getting the gym badge from him.
Anyway, as long as they can collect eight badges, they can participate in the annual Pokemon League Conference. Nobody really cared which gym badge they got, whether they were weak or strong.
'It looks like it is going to be a busy month for me,' Hisoka thought listlessly.
He also needed to increase the combat literacy of his Pokemon. In the previous battle with Kaz and Yas Gym, Hisoka saw many things that needed to be corrected.
This thing was important to them. Yeah, they might be strong right now. But after seeing Miss Joy, Hisoka didn't think that he could win against her.
Hisoka always recorded the battle that he fought to collect more information about his Pokemon. And it also served as a self-reflection for him.
Each night, he would open his laptop and watch the video of his previous battle. Slowly, he analyzed the video and tried to see if there was any improvement that he could make.
Hisoka watched Miss Joy's back gradually disappear from view. When he was about to close the door, a bush quivered slightly, catching his attention.
"Come out!" Hisoka called out.
He looked at the bushes closely and smiled in amusement.
"I can see you there. Your red cape is exposed. It's useless for you to hide!"
"I'm coming out!"
After that, Ran slowly crawled out of the bushes. Then, she stood up and bowed in respect.
"Please, can I join your gym?"
