Chapter 66: The Orange Badge is in Hand!
"Scyther uses Shadow Clone!"
Qingyuan waved his hand and gave commands to the Scyther in the arena.
"Sha!"
Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Scyther began to move rapidly around the arena.
Soon, the arena was filled with Scyther's shadow clones.
"It's no use, Raichu, use Discharge!"
Looking at the battlefield filled with the shadow clones of Scyther.
Lt. Surge smiled and loudly commanded Scyther.
"Laiqiu!"
Upon hearing Lt. Surge's words, Raichu roared and then his body burst into dazzling lightning.
In just a moment, all the shadow clones of the Scyther in the arena vanished.
"How is that possible!"
Looking at the empty battlefield, Lt. Surge exclaimed in disbelief.
"Now's the time! Scyther, use Slash!"
Qingyuan didn't have time to explain things to Lt. Surge; he immediately commanded Scyther to launch an attack on Raichu.
"Sha!"
From the roof beams of the battlefield, the Scyther jumped down.
Meanwhile, its wings continued to flap, accelerating its descent.
As he watched the mantis fall from the roof, a look of understanding appeared on Lt. Surge's face.
The Scyther used its wings to fly onto the roof beams above the battlefield when it used Shadow Clone.
"Raichu, unleash Thunderbolt at full power!"
Despite knowing that his defeat was inevitable, Mascherano still wanted to fight back.
"Laiqiu!"
Raichu roared and his body crackled with dazzling electricity.
"Sha!"
Seeing Raichu crackling with electricity, Scyther showed no fear, gathering white light on its right blade and slashing at Raichu.
"boom!"
The two objects collided with a loud bang, and the scene was obscured by billowing dust.
"Flying Mantis!"
Seeing this, Qingyuan shouted out in concern.
Unfortunately, we didn't hear a response from Scyther.
Upon seeing this, Qingyuan's face immediately showed worry.
As the smoke and dust cleared, the scene quickly came into view.
Raichu lay flat on the ground, a wound on his head slowly oozing blood, and his eyes had turned into circles.
The Scyther lay not far from Raichu, its body charred black, and its eyes turned into circles.
"Flying Mantis!"
Seeing this, Qingyuan shouted in concern and ran directly towards the flying mantis in the arena.
Upon arriving at Scyther's side, they discovered that Scyther was only badly injured and unconscious, but not in any life-threatening danger.
Qingyuan then put it back into the Poké Ball.
"Well done, get some rest, Scyther!"
After offering a few words of comfort to the Scyther's Poké Ball, Qingyuan got up and returned to his command position.
At this point, the referee also began to do his job.
"Raichu and Scyther are both unable to battle, so the match is a draw!"
"Because Gym Leader Lt. Surge's two Pokémon were the first to lose their battle ability, the winner of this Gym Challenge is Qingyuan from Viridian City!"
After comforting Raichu in its Poké Ball, Lt. Surge went straight to Qingyuan's side.
"Well done, kid! I really enjoyed this match!"
"This is an orange badge. I wish you good luck at the Indigo League!"
Ma Zhishi patted Qingyuan on the shoulder and handed him a badge that looked like a sunflower.
"Thank you for your blessing. Master Lt. Surge, you are very strong. I have learned a lot from you!"
As Qingyuan spoke, he reached out and took it with both hands.
Having obtained the orange badge and achieved his goal, Qingyuan immediately submitted his resignation.
After leaving the Vermilion City Gym, Qingyuan didn't waste a moment and ran straight back to the Pokémon Center.
Scyther's injuries were still quite frightening, although he had been examined and found that his life was not in danger.
However, he couldn't be sure if it would leave any hidden injuries. If Scyther's potential was damaged as a result, it would be a huge loss.
"Sister Ran, please heal my elf!"
"Scyther was seriously injured in the gym battle just now!"
As Qingyuan entered the Pokémon Center, he ran towards the counter while howling like a banshee.
For a moment, everyone around looked at Qingyuan with surprise.
They're all grown up, why do they still act like little kids?
Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Qiao Yiran quickly pulled up a hospital bed and ran over from behind the counter.
"Release the Scyther!"
"Chicago is about to use Healing Wave!"
Qiao Yiran came to Qingyuan's side and pointed to the hospital bed, giving Qingyuan some instructions.
At the same time, he instructed the Chansey beside him to prepare for treatment.
"Lucky~"
Chansey let out a cry and nodded heavily.
Qingyuan obediently aimed the Scyther's Poké Ball at the hospital bed and released it.
"Sigh~"
Upon seeing the jet-black flying mantis on the hospital bed, everyone around gasped in shock.
No wonder Qingyuan was in such a hurry; the Scyther was practically electrocuted!
"Lucky!"
Seeing this, Chansey let out a loud cry and unleashed its prepared Healing Pulse directly at Scyther.
That's why healing fluctuations are considered a divine skill.
It was visible to the naked eye that after the healing wave hit Scyther, Scyther's aura became much stronger.
Just then, Qiao Yiran finished checking the Scyther's injuries.
"The subcutaneous muscles suffered severe burns, and the exoskeleton is already partially cooked!"
"You're not going to let it take a direct hit from Lt. Surge's Raichu's Thunderbolt, are you?!"
After seeing the Scyther's injuries, Qiao Yiran turned to Qingyuan and asked incredulously.
Qingyuan felt a little embarrassed after hearing this. He couldn't say that he made it take the hit; the main reason was that the Scyther was also in a bad mood at the time.
Seeing Qingyuan's expression, Qiao Yiran knew that her guess was correct.
After rolling her eyes at Qingyuan's reckless behavior, Qiao Yiran continued.
"However, after Chansey's healing effect, Scyther's subcutaneous muscles are fine now!"
"There's a problem with the underdeveloped exoskeleton!"
Upon hearing this, Qingyuan immediately became anxious and quickly grabbed Qiao Yiran's arm to ask.
"What's the problem? Is this irreversible damage?"
When Qingyuan asked this question, his eyes were already red. He still wanted to lead Scyther to the top of the world.
What a joke, how could you just collapse here?
At this moment, Qingyuan was filled with regret for not letting Scyther dodge during the battle. Why did he have to fight head-on?
Seeing Qingyuan's red-rimmed eyes, Qiao Yiran's anger subsided considerably.
"It's nothing serious, it's not irreversible damage. It just needs a few days to heal, and the mantis will also molt during these few days!"
"Give it plenty of nutrition, and it might even grow a little bigger in the next few days!"
Hearing this, Qingyuan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
He was terrified. He didn't even want to think about what he would do if something really happened to Scyther!
Seeing Qingyuan breathe a sigh of relief, Qiao Yiran stood on tiptoe and tapped Qingyuan's forehead with her finger.
"You idiot, can't you ever give me a break?!"
Faced with such treatment, Qingyuan not only showed no anger, but instead revealed a bright smile.
Upon seeing this, Qiao Yiran couldn't help but laugh and say something.
"You silly goose!"
"I'll push the Scyther to the healing room first. Do you have any other Pokémon that need healing too? That way I won't have to make a second trip!"
Upon hearing this, Qingyuan quickly snapped out of his daze and handed the Poké Balls of Scyther, Gliscor, and Charmander to Qiao Yiran.
"Thank you so much, Sister Ran!"
Qingyuan said as he handed over the Poké Ball.
"It's nothing, it's just my duty!"
After saying that, Qiao Yiran took the Poké Ball and pushed the Scyther towards the treatment room.
Watching Qiao Yiran's departing figure, Qingyuan smiled self-deprecatingly.
"Alright, another one to recover from injury!"
