"I'm sorry, but Cerulean Gym will be closed for two days. There will be no Gym Challenge and water ballet show during this time," A middle-aged man stopped Hisoka, who was about to knock on the front door.
Hisoka shrugged and said, "I'm a bounty hunter, and I'm here to apply for the temporary Gym Leader position."
"Oh! Okay," The man who appeared to be the security guard nodded his head and said with a smile, "The main entrance is not open now. You'll have to go through this side door. The Gym Leader is already waiting inside." The man then stepped aside and pointed to his back. There is a side door that is already half-opened.
'It looks like everyone's already here.' Hisoka thought.
"Thank you!" Hisoka nodded politely, then quickly walked through the side door.
After walking through a long corridor, he arrived at a large arena. In fact, rather than calling it an arena, it looks more like a performance stage. Also, there is a huge swimming pool in the center, surrounded by empty auditoriums.
"This should be the place where the Sensational Sisters performed the water show," Hisoka leaned against the wall with his arms crossed, observing the surrounding situation. There were about twenty people scattered around the venue.
'So, these must be the ones who applied for the task,' Hisoka thought while examining the trainers.
Pop!
Pop!
Pop!
Suddenly, loud popping sounds were heard across the stage, along with the colorful ribbons falling from the sky. A black shadow was seen on the pool as an elevator slowly descended to the ground, carrying three women with varying hair colors.
Seeing three beauties in sexy swimsuit dresses appearing on the stage, the trainers, who were initially dazed, snapped out of their trance. A few guys were even more excited, their faces turning red as they whistled and applauded loudly.
These are the three famous sisters of Cerulean Gym. Hisoka has to admit that these three are indeed stunning beauties. A curved figure and a charming face, paired with that sexy dress, are enough to move the heart of many men, let alone there are three of them at the moment.
"Hello, you all should already understand the requirements of this mission!" The woman standing on the left with long blond hair, and a sakura hairpin on her hair held the microphone, said loudly.
"Welcome to the Cerulean Gym!" Another round of applause rang in the hall.
"I am Daisy. The eldest of the Sensational Sisters. Although I believe many of you already know my name," she teased.
Many men whistled and clapped their hands as they agreed with her words. From the men's reaction, Hisoka could see that the three sisters are popular among many men living in the Kanto region.
"Okay, let's go straight to the point!" She raised her hand as the applause died down.
She then continued, "Our gym needs only one people to be the temporary Gym Leader. However, since so many people accepted the task, we will have to choose the strongest trainer among you all. You can take a rest first. The competition will officially start in an hour."
"Please do your best!"
The three sisters then walked to the middle stage and blew kisses toward the trainers down the stage.
After receiving enthusiastic replies from everyone, the three sisters went backstage and disappeared from view, as everyone sighed in happiness.
Everyone is here not only for the generous reward but also for the sisters. Once they stand out and become the temporary Gym Leader, they can also spend three days with the beautiful Sensational Sisters.
Isn't this what life is meant to be?
Who knows? They might also become the new Gym Leader of Cerulean City.
Well, it looks like everyone has the same idea by looking at the perverted expression on their faces, especially those men who are in their forties.
…
The easiest way to hold a competition is to draw lots. Everyone will be assigned a number as they progress through the ladder until there is a winner.
The large hall was divided into three venues to hold the competition simultaneously. And the referees happen to be the three beautiful sisters who have arrived at the arena after changing their clothes.
Hisoka drew lots for the first match in the third arena. The referee was the youngest of the Sensational Sisters, Lily, the beauty with long red hair.
"Boy! Hurry up and admit defeat. I'd leave as soon as possible if I were you." The big man with a full beard growled with a hint of jealousy in his tone as Hisoka strolled to the opposite stand.
He hated a man with a handsome face like Hisoka. They are simply the bane of a man with a tough appearance like him. He was even angrier when he saw Lily staring at Hisoka with her eyes shining brightly.
'What's the use of being handsome? Strength is king,' the man snorted.
The big man continued to shout, "In front of me, you can't even last a single round. When I was young, I was in the top eight of the Kanto League Conference."
"Can we start now?" Hisoka ignored the opponent's bragging and asked Lily, who was standing in the middle of the arena with a dreamy look on her face.
"Y-Yes!" Lily came back to her senses, remembering her role as the referee.
There were two blushes on her cheeks as she was a little embarrassed about her previous blunder. But she quickly sorted out her thoughts and said, "The rule of this competition is a single Pokemon battle. The match ends once the trainer's Pokemon loses its ability to fight."
"Are you ready?" Lily raised her hand.
Both Hisoka and the man nodded in unison.
"The match starts now!" She brought her hand down.
"Come out, Rhydon!" The big man couldn't hold it anymore and immediately took a Pokeball from his belt and threw it out at the arena.
"Roar!"
A huge figure over two meters in size with features similar to both dinosaurs and rhinoceroses back on Earth appeared in the middle of the field.
It then screamed to the sky, releasing its unstoppable aura. On the tip of its snout is a cream-colored horn, while its hide is thick and has grey coloring. Then, its thick muscular leg stomped on the ground from time to time, shooking the arena slightly.
"Rhydon!"
