Chương 20: Chapter 20: Is That Pokémon Even Legit?
"Rota Gym…"
On her way to the Pokémon Center, Jeanette recalled everything that had happened at the Rota Gym earlier, and her lips involuntarily curled into a slight smile.
She suddenly felt that the Pokémon League wasn't lying—the gym facilities really did challenge trainers, and challengers could genuinely grow from their experiences at the gym.
But then she thought of the previous gym, the Celadon Gym, and her smile faltered a bit. Yes, indeed, there are gyms that are just going through the motions.
Only a Gym Leader like Dylan, who is responsible, competent, and kind, truly deserves to be called a real Gym Leader!
"Jeanette, are you feeling happy?"
One of the cheerleaders asked curiously, given that Jeanette had just lost her challenge at the gym.
"Huh? Am I?" Jeanette paused, surprised. Her mood was indeed good, but was it that obvious?
"Are you thinking about Dylan, the Gym Leader?"
"No, no, please don't say such blunt things."
Jeanette's cheeks reddened slightly, and she couldn't help but retort.
"Yes, yes." The cheerleader blinked.
"But I didn't expect the Rota Gym to be like this… At first, I thought this gym was quite unimpressive."
"Yeah, I didn't expect that either. That handsome Gym Leader even gave us sodas. How thoughtful!"
"And his skills are so strong that Jeanette had to give up on the challenge."
"People online really like to spread nonsense. Clearly, Gym Leader Dylan is so excellent, yet they still spread rumors! It's too much!"
"Hmph~ They must be jealous of Dylan. He's good-looking, strong, and judging by the gym, it's probably a wealthy family, so they intentionally slander Rota Gym."
The cheerleaders chatted among themselves, decisively labeling those who left negative reviews as haters.
Although… isn't this assumption of deliberate slander a bit far-fetched?
Jeanette listened in silence, but considering Dylan's level, it seemed unlikely that even powerful challengers would rate it so poorly.
Jeanette didn't quite understand. Were those negative reviews online really the result of intentional slander?
"A gem will always shine. Gym Leader Dylan will surely shine brightly in the future."
Jeanette shook her head. She was very confident and firmly believed that Dylan would become one of the best Gym Leaders in the Kanto region, which was inevitable.
"Salandit and Roserade…"
Jeanette remembered Dylan's suggestions and felt a bit troubled. She didn't have any friends in other regions, and it would be difficult to ask someone to help her capture Pokémon from other regions.
But she couldn't personally travel to Alola and Paldea, could she? Not to mention that even if she went, finding those Pokémon in a short time might not be easy.
"Maybe I should ask the elders in town." Jeanette bit her lip, deciding to seek advice from the elders in her town.
She wanted to become stronger! And she also believed that a Poison-type team had great potential.
Regarding talent, Jeanette thought her own talent was quite good. As long as she had a direction, she believed she could achieve something.
A trainer who doubts themselves—how can they become stronger and reach the pinnacle?
Moreover, Jeanette felt a special affinity with Poison-type Pokémon. She had naturally captured several Poison-types, which she considered to be a sign of fate.
"Gym Leader Dylan, I won't let your guidance go to waste!"
Jeanette's fair and delicate face showed determination. She felt she had grasped Dylan's vision for Poison-types!
Thus, a young girl in a kimono determined to specialize in Poison-types set out on her journey.
…
In the backyard of the Rota Gym.
Dylan was making training plans for his main Pokémon, including Goomy, although he could use growth simulation in the evening.
But proper training was also necessary, such as improving move proficiency, reaction training, and so on.
"Hey? Dylan, when did you capture a Clefairy?"
"Huh?"
Dylan turned, puzzled, to see Ilene walking over, holding a Clefairy with a surprised expression.
The Clefairy in Ilene's arms was looking at Dylan with curious, watery eyes.
Clefairy?
"Is this little one lost?"
Dylan didn't think too much about it and walked over to gently rub the little Pokémon's ears. It was very cute.
Clefairy is a Fairy-type Pokémon, and its appearance is a standard adorable one. It's all fluffy and star-shaped, looking quite charming.
Clefairy is also a rare Pokémon, especially loved by girls.
But Dylan clearly remembered that there was no Clefairy in his backyard. He hadn't encountered one while training at Mount Moon either, so he hadn't captured one.
However, Dylan didn't dwell on the sudden appearance of this Clefairy. His backyard is very large.
So, occasionally, wild Pokémon might wander in and stay.
For example, there's that Slowpoke…
That Slowpoke appeared from somewhere and would just sit by the lake, sometimes staying in the same spot all day without changing its posture.
So, even though he didn't know where this Clefairy came from, Dylan didn't think too much of it. After all, Rota isn't very far from Mount Moon.
And Mount Moon is a well-known wild area where Clefairy resides.
Clefairy didn't shy away from Dylan's touch, continuing to look at him with its pure, shiny eyes.
"Let's keep it here for now. Clefairy is very cute."
Ilene was quite happy, as she liked Clefairy a lot.
"Yeah~ That's fine." Dylan nodded with a smile and then took out a Pokeblock.
"Little one, if you've accidentally wandered away from your family, stay here for now. We'll make sure you're well-fed and well-cared for."
Dylan bent down slightly, offering the Pokeblock to Clefairy, his voice gentle. The essence of vitality overflowed.
Clefairy blinked, tilting its head as it looked at Dylan, still very curious.
But then Clefairy opened its mouth and bit into the Pokeblock in Dylan's hand. It seemed to find it unexpectedly tasty, and Clefairy's eyes brightened up.
"Meow~!"
A clear and pleasant sound came from Clefairy, its big eyes squinting into crescent shapes.
Ilene looked at Clefairy with even more affection.
But Dylan was momentarily stunned.
"Hmm? Is Clefairy's cry really 'meow'?"
Dylan looked at the cute Clefairy with some confusion. Was it just that he hadn't seen enough Pokémon?
Clefairy's cry was 'meow'?
Dylan's eyes narrowed slightly. The more he thought about it, the more it seemed off.
Dylan pulled out his Pokédex and aimed it at Clefairy. No matter the Pokémon, the Pokédex would reveal its true nature!
When he saw Clefairy's Pokédex entry, Dylan's expression was one of utter bewilderment.
'Beep~ Clefairy, Fairy-type Pokémon
Ability: Synchronize
Moves: Transform, Psychic, Aura Sphere, Play Rough, Trick, Explosion, Water Cannon, Leaf Storm, Earthquake, Wide Guard...
Description: Due to its highly adorable appearance, Clefairy is very popular as a pet, but it's not easy to find.'
Pokédex, can you explain why Clefairy's ability is Synchronize?
And look at the number of moves—over 200 moves listed! It's practically overflowing the Pokédex. Is this Clefairy for real?
Is it even legal?
