Chapter 60 - Celadon City gym, Erika vs Itsuki [ I ]

"Man the weather is really good today. The sun is covered by white clouds and wind is blowing from south direction. This is the perfect whether to walk. Everything would have been even more perfect if I wasn't followed by a pink haired woman." Itsuki looked back with a tired look. A certain pink haired girl was following him and she was not even trying to hide herself.

.

"Hey why are you still following me?" Itsuki asked in annoyance. This girl has been following Itsuki for an hour now. At first Itsuki thought if he ignored this girl and kept walking, she would eventually leave Itsuki and go back.

But he was wrong, Zitong kept following Itsuki with a smile and didn't even talk with Itsuki.

.

"Who said I am following you? I am just walking in the same direction. I have the freedom to decide which direction I want to walk." Zitong replied with a innocent smile as she ate the ice cream which Itsuki doesn't know from where she bought.

"____"

'If it wasn't for this girl following me then I would have taken out my bicycle from the inventory and already would have arrived at the Celadon city gym. I can't even use my speed since that would make this woman even more interested in me and then more trouble will keep following me.'

.

Itsuki could easily disappear with his super fast speed but he couldn't. Since this woman has seen his face and she might even use police to find Itsuki. Which in turn will bring more trouble to Itsuki.

"Miss Zitong, can you stop following me? I would like some privacy. You can just return back and tell your father that our date is over." Itsuki thought that Zitong was following Itsuki because she wanted to make her father believe that she went to date with Itsuki.

.

Zitong smiled and replied while eating ice cream. "No, One hour is too short for a date. I don't think my father would believe me and will think our relationship is fake. Just let me follow you, I promise I won't trouble you."

Zitong then looked at Itsuki with a slight smile and thought. 'I really enjoy troubling you. Even though it's weird but it's the truth. Also I think you are not a simple man. Because no ordinary man could resist my beauty.'

.

'Well I was going to the gym. So it wouldn't hurt to bring this woman along with me. But the problem is what if she keeps following me after that.' Itsuki looked at Zitong for a moment and decided to bring this troublesome girl with me. Since he can't get rid of her. "You can come with me but" Itsuki seriously looked at her eyes and warned. "Do not trouble or distract me during my gym battle." Zitong nodded her head with a surprised look.

.

'So Itsuki is a Pokémon trainer. Not only that, he is a Indigo league participant. This man is even more interesting than I thought. He is so handsome and also a Pokémon Trainer, I think he has a Girlfriend. No No, there is no way that's possible. Considering how rude this man is, I don't think any normal girl would want to become his girlfriend.' Zitong thought as she quietly followed Itsuki.

.

Itsuki and Zitong walked towards the Celadon City gym. On their way neither of them said anything.

"So this Celadon City gym." Itsuki and Zitong stood in front of a pyramid shaped Greenhouse. There were several pyramid shaped Greenhouses but these greenhouses are smaller compared to the one in front of Itsuki. Zitong wasn't that surprised since she has came here few times in the past to watch gym matches.

.

"Hello! Are you here to challenge the Celadon City gym?" Itsuki and Zitong turned around and saw a black haired woman walking towards them. Itsuki recognized this woman as she was the gym leader, Erika.

Erika is a slender young woman with pale skin and short black hair with cut bangs. The outfit consists of an elegant kimono with an obi (sash), a hairband, Japanese sandals called zōri, and traditional Japanese socks called tabi.

.

"Yes, I want to challenge you for a gym battle if you are free currently." Erika walked up to Itsuki with a gentle smile on her face. Erika was surprised to see Zitong, the most beautiful woman in the Celadon city with Itsuki. Erika was about to open her mouth to talk with Zitong but Zitong signaled Erika to not speak. Erika being a smart woman understood and did not talk with Zitong.

"A challenger? Please came with me." Itsuki and Zitong followed Erika inside the big pyramid greenhouse.

.

Following Erika in the Greenhouse, Itsuki couldn't help but compare Erika with a certain cold hearted woman. 'Erika's attitude is complete opposite of Sabrina. Erika is warm, modest and kind while Sabrina is cold. But Sabrina's beauty is above Erika.'

"Hello! My name is Xia Zitong." While walking Zitong purposely approached Erika and introduced herself.

.

Meanwhile Erika looked at Zitong and thought. 'What Zitong is thinking? She is clearly interested in this boy but she doesn't wants me to reveal that I know her.' Zitong introducing herself shows that she wants Itsuki to feel that this was the first time Zitong has met Erika. 'What this naughty girl is thinking?' Erika felt a headache thinking about the naughty things Zitong has done in the past.

"Hello! I am Erika." Zitong then returned to Itsuki's side.

.

"So Itsuki may I know how many badges you have collected so far?" Zitong was also curious about this answer. The starting of Indigo League was already creating a lots of hypes among the people. Big cities like Saffron city and Celadon City was most hyped about the Indigo League. Zitong wanted to know how many badges Itsuki has and many more he needs to register for the Indigo League.

.

"I have collected 5 badges so far. And just yesterday I got my fifth badge after defeating Sabrina." Erika and Zitong looked at Itsuki in surprise. Defeating Sabrina means that Itsuki is quiet strong. Even thought Zitong had no interest in being a Trainer, she still knew how hard it was to defeat Sabrina especially when you don't know what was going to came at you because of her telepathy.

.

"We are here" Erika stopped walking and she turned to Itsuki. Itsuki took a moment to look at the interior of the greenhouse. There was a Pokemon battlefield at the center. Around the battlefield, different types of trees was planted which made the entire interior even more beautiful.

"It's beautiful." Itsuki admitted honestly. Erika smiled in response while Zitong couldn't waste this chance.

.

"Yes, I am sure you will have to came here few more times in the future." Zitong words was saying that Itsuki was going to lose and will challenge Erika again in the future. Itsuki understood what she was saying.

"I wonder if I could still find your bodyguards. I would really love to chat with them and tell them a story of mine." Zitong's smile forze hearing Itsuki's words.

.

"I was joking. Of course you are going to win." ZItong then walked to other side of the battlefield and sat on a chair.

'Interesting. I wonder how Zitong's father will react seeing Itsuki.' Erika interwardly chuckled and then called the referee who also worked as a gardener.

.

Scene change.....

The referee looked at Erika and Itsuki who stood two opposite sides of the battle ground. "The trainer has challenged the Celadon city leader. The match will be three versus three Pokemon. Only the challenger is allowed to switch their Pokemon during the gym battle. Now battle begin."

.

"Victreebel, I choose you." Erika took out her Pokemon and waited for Itsuki to take out his Pokemon.

.

Victreebel's body greatly resembles its pre-evolution Weepinbell, having a yellow bulbous head with dark green spots. It also sports two eyes close to its large mouth, which has a pink tip that resembles lips. It has two green leaves at the sides of its body. Inside its mouth are two fangs. A brown vine is also connected to the back of its body which sports a yellow bulb on one end and a large leaf covering its mouth on the other.

All Victreebel have the ability Chlorophyll. Chlorophyll increases Victreebel's Speed when the sun is out. Victreebel lure their prey in by emitting a sweet scent.
