Chapter 17: Blue Badge

After walking out of the forest, Ash was in a good mood, firstly because they were about to walk out of the forest, and secondly, a few people came out to challenge them before, but they were easily defeated by themselves and Xiaomao.

Ash and Shigeru said, "I didn't expect those people to be so weak and easily defeated." And Xiao Mao retorted, "People are just rookie trainers who have just come out to travel, although you relied on luck to get Bibi Bird and Ba Da Butterfly, you can barely be regarded as a beginner." Showing off like this in front of newcomers, aren't you afraid of being defeated by other newcomers and losing face?"

"Hmph, no matter who comes, I'm going to win. Ash shouted in displeasure.

"Oh, I hope so. Xiao Mao looked at Xiao Zhi with a smile and grinded his teeth angrily. And Xiao Gang acted as a peacemaker and said, "Well, well, don't make any noise, in such a good weather, don't say these hot words." You must know that in such good weather, you can dry your clothes in two hours, and of course, it will take three hours for thick clothes......"

Ash's expression instantly became embarrassed, and Xiao Mao was in a good mood and slightly hooked his lips. Behind the three of them, followed by Pikachu and Eevee, while Xiaoxia walked at the back, looking a little hesitant, and finally rushed over and asked, "Where are you going?" ”

Xiao Zhi looked sideways at Xiao Xia and said, "Didn't I tell you last time?" Of course, I went to Hualan City. ”

"Hualan City, do you really have to go?" Xiaoxia became even more panicked. Xiao Mao looked at Xiao Xia's panicked look and asked, "What's wrong with Hualan City?" Xiao Mao remembered that Hualan City was Xiao Xia's home and the gym she was in charge of, so she shouldn't be so reluctant to go back, right?

"Uh...... I've heard that there are very scary ghost-type PokΓ©mon over there. Xiaoxia made up a lie, no matter what, she didn't want to go back to Hualan City. In order to match the authenticity of her words, Xiaoxia also made a special grimace. But when Ash saw it, he was stunned for a moment, but he laughed. And said to Xiao Mao, "Let's go." ”

After walking a few steps, Xiaoxia ran over again, stopped them, and recommended them the good of Withered Leaf City. But Xiao Mao said helplessly, "Xiaoxia, if you don't want to go, you can separate for the time being." I can also give you the money for the bicycle now. ”

"I have to let Ash return the bike, after all, it was his mistake. Xiao Xia said firmly, and then looked at Xiao Zhi and said, "Withered Leaf City is much better than Hualan City, shall we go to Withered Leaf City?"

"I decided, and I went to Hualan City. "Xiao Zhi knew that there was a gym in Hualan City, so he naturally wanted to go to the Hualan gym to challenge. Therefore, no matter how much Xiaoxia says, it is useless. Xiao Mao looked at the unwilling Xiaoxia, and sighed helplessly in his heart, in fact, Xiaoxia only needs to say that there is also a Taoist hall in Withered Leaf City. But the premise is that he and Xiao Gang don't know that there is a Taoist hall nearby.

Then Xiao Mao and Xiao Zhi and Xiao Gang headed towards Hualan City, and before leaving, Xiao Mao also glanced at Xiao Xia and found that Xiao Xia was talking angrily. Presumably he was talking about Ash again.

When Ash and the others came to the city, they saw a lot of people gathered together, and there were two police cars parked on the road next to them. The three of them looked at each other and decided to go over and have a look. As he approached the crowd, Shigeru picked up Eevee and Pikachu, smiled at the stunned two, and then hugged them to the front of the crowd.

Ash asks the uncle next to him what happened here. The other person replied, "I don't know, it looks like a thief." ”

As soon as they finished speaking, a female voice interrupted their conversation, and the three of them looked over and found that it was Miss Junsha. Although Xiao Mao said it for Xiao Ash, Xiao Zhi was still surprised and said, "You are Miss Junsha, as Xiao Mao said, you look the same as Miss Junsha in Changxin City." ”

After hearing Xiaozhi's words, Junsha subconsciously replied, "Junsha from Changxin City is my sister, if you know her, it means that you have been in contact with the police, and it is very likely that you have been in contact with ......."

"Well, Miss Junsha, we are trainers who have come out on a trip, and we are not suspicious characters. Feeling that Miss Junsha was getting weirder and weirder the more she spoke, Xiao Mao couldn't help but interrupt, and took out the illustrated book he hadn't used much, and opened the page that could prove his identity. Hand it to Junsha.

When Ash saw Mao's movements, he also took out the illustrated book to prove his innocence. And Xiao Gang took out the gray badge to prove that he was the owner of the museum.

After proving the identities of the three of them, Junsha complained softly, "My sister actually knows you, it's really unsightly." ”

The corners of Xiao Mao and Xiao Zhi's mouths twitched and smiled dryly, while Xiao Gang hurriedly proved that he was not the kind of cunzi who had no vision, and that he and Miss Junsha had just met. At first, it was normal, but the 'please drink tea' and 'ask questions' in the back made the corners of Xiao Mao's mouth twitch.

After hearing that Junsha rejected Xiao Gang with official duties, Xiao Mao and Xiao Zhi asked in unison, "Excuse me, what was stolen?"

Hearing Shigeru and Ash's inquiry, Junsha said, "You know what? That thief is very strange, he didn't steal money, but he stole a huge water pipe and a large engine.

After listening to this, Xiao Mao felt that things were very strange. Isn't it common for people to steal money?, and Ash was puzzled by this, and when Junsha finished speaking, he pushed them away and said not to disturb official business.

Xiao Mao said to Xiao Zhi and Xiao Gang, "It's better for us to leave first, don't make trouble for Miss Junsha." ”

With that, the three and the two elves left the crowd. Shigeru put Pikachu and Eevee down, while Ash asked softly, "Shigeru, what kind of person do you think it would do?"

"Who knows. Xiao Mao raised his eyebrows slightly. Ash couldn't figure out what the thief was going to do when he stole these two things, and was finally grabbed by Xiaomao's arm and left.

The three of them came to a chair for people to rest. The backpack was placed on the ground, with Pikachu and Eevee on the left side of the chair, followed by Shigeru, Ash, and Tsuyo.

The three of them were about to take a break and set off, and Ash took this opportunity to ask the trainer of the Xiaoganghua Blue Dao Pavilion what kind of person he was. Under the somewhat surprised eyes of Xiao Gang and Xiao Mao, Xiao Zhi touched his head embarrassedly and said, "I think it would be better to study the opponent before the challenge." Isn't there a saying that 'know oneself and know one's opponent, and win all battles'?"

"It's rare that you actually remember the famous phrase, instead of suspecting that it is a newly discovered elf. After listening to this, Xiao Mao immediately knew that Xiao Zhi must have heard it when he was playing with the illustrated book.

"Xiaomao, don't you say I'm like an idiot!" Ash glared at Xiaomao, was it so surprising that he remembered two sentences?!

"It turns out that you know that you are an idiot?" Xiao Mao looked surprised, and Xiao Zhi pulled Xiao Mao to prepare for a duel. Xiao Gang hurriedly stepped forward and said peacefully, "Okay, okay, don't make any noise." That's true, but I can't sue you. Because I used to be a gym trainer, please understand. ”

"Well, that's it, it's okay. Ash smiled and shook his head, he was just curious.

"Xiao Gang, what are you doing to apologize to him? Even if Xiao Zhi knows the trick of the Hualan Dao Gym trainer, he may not be able to win. Xiao Mao said. Although he knows that he will be sure to win if he has a trick, but Ash's habit of curling his braids when he has achieved a little bit is better not to let him know himself and his opponent.

Ash was once again clamored by Xiao Mao to duel with Xiao Mao, but was pressed by the peacemaker. In the end, he was unconvinced and put his head aside.

After resting enough, the three of them stood up and walked around the city with the two elves. After walking to an intersection, Xiao Gang said that he was going to buy something, and if the gym competition, Xiao Mao should know where it was.

Xiao Mao nodded, indicating that he knew, and then broke up with Xiao Gang. Shigeru walked to the side with Ash, with Pikachu and Eevee following by his side.

"Xiaoxia didn't come along, don't you think it's strange Xiaozhi?" Xiao Mao asked casually while looking at the map to lead the way.

"What's so strange about this, doesn't that guy think Dead Leaf City is good, go to Dead Leaf City?" replied Ash nonchalantly.

"Is that so?" said Shigeru. Then, turn left at an intersection. In front of them was a place with a sea lion logo. Xiao Mao pointed to that place and said, "Over there, Hualan Dao Hall." ”

"So what are you waiting for, let's hurry over. Ash rushed out, Pikachu hurriedly followed, Shigeru and Eevee sighed helplessly, and then chased after him.

When Ash and the others came to the museum, they found that there were a lot of people sitting around at the moment, and then they heard the radio say, "Everyone who is here, let everyone wait." The synchronized underwater ballet show of the city's three beautiful sisters is about to start soon. ’

Hearing this, Xiao Mao guessed that Xiao Xia's sisters were indeed well-known performers in their city. "Looks like we'll have to wait a bit. ”

"Hey, what's going on?" Ash asked depressedly.

"The trainers of the Hualan Gym are those three performers, and we need to wait until they finish their performances before we can go to them. Besides, Eevee and Pikachu haven't seen a show like this, right? After introducing Ash, Shigeru smiled and looked at Eevee.

Knowing that he couldn't challenge it, Ash sat on the steps with little energy, while Pikachu and Eevee watched the performance with a little curiosity.

When the performance is over, Shigeru smiles and asks Pikachu and Eevee how they feel. Pikachu's answer was very excited, while Eevee was a little flat. But Xiao Mao still felt that they liked the performance. He smiled and promised them that he would take them back if they had time. Receiving replies from the two with different attitudes, Xiao Mao couldn't help but smile and reached out and rubbed the heads of the two.

Xiao Mao and the elf hadn't talked for long, and Xiao Zhi beside him said, "Come on, take me to the challenge, Xiao Mao." ”

Xiao Mao was helpless, so he took Xiao Zhi to the aquarium viewing area in the gym to wait for someone. The reason why Xiao Mao knows so much about this place is also thanks to Xiao Xia who once mentioned it to him.

When he heard someone coming, Ash immediately ran over, and after talking, after understanding Ash's intentions, he took Ash to the competition venue. Xiao Zhi shouted with high morale, "Come on, I want to challenge you." ”

But unlike Ash, the three beautiful sisters on the other side have no fighting spirit at all. "Before that, we were miserable repaired by three trainers, and now we don't have any fighting spirit at all. ”

After Xiao Mao heard this, he subconsciously looked at Xiao Zhi, and was not surprised to see that Xiao Zhi instantly became weak. Sure enough, only the matter of the duel can make Ash with a tendon suffer?

The three sisters introduced the only two remaining elves to Ash, one was the horned goldfish 1 and the other was the little sea lion 2, and at the same time, the beautiful sister with long blond hair took out a blue drop-shaped badge from the tongue of the little sea lion and handed it to Ash.

Ash asked a little stunned, "But if you don't fight, you can take the badge...... Xiao Mao also looked at the three sisters of the other party, is this kind of behavior of giving badges casually really okay?

But the three sisters were urging to let Ash take the badge. Ash looked at Mao, who frowned and nodded. Although it is true that you can get a badge without fighting, it is a bit confusing. But luck is also part of strength, and Ash's luck has always been good.

Seeing that Xiao Mao nodded, Ash thought, That's no problem, right? Thinking like this, Ash walked over and went to get the badge. But when Ash was about to touch the badge, Xiaoxia's voice suddenly remembered in the distance, "Wait for me!"

Ash and the three sisters looked over and saw Xiaoxia standing on the steps, looking at them with her hands on her chest. When Pikachu saw Xiaoxia, he screamed happily, while Ash was a little shocked. He thought Xiaoxia had gone to Withered Leaf City. What shocked him even more was that Xiaoxia called the blonde woman's sister and said that she would play the game.

Xiao Zhi asked what was going on, and Xiao Xia said, "I am the fourth sister of the Hualan Dao Pavilion. Under the shocked cries of Ash and Pikachu, Xiaoxia said seriously, "We are the four sisters of Hualan Beauty. ”

But apparently her three older sisters don't think so, and begin to ask why Xiaoxia came back so early. Seeing Xiaoxia's angry but unable to get angry, Xiaomao thought, the reason why Xiaoxia didn't want to come back was maybe because she didn't want her sisters to look down on her, right?

And Ash said to Pikachu after Xiaoxia said 'the reason why she didn't want to come here the least', "That's why Xiaoxia is so opposed to coming here." ”

"Pickup. Pikachu looked at Ash and replied.

Eevee and Shigeru looked at Ash and Pikachu weakly, reacting a little too slowly!While Kasumi and her sisters began to discuss why she came back suddenly, Kasumi pointed at Ash and said, "No, Sister Sakura, I have a little problem with that guy." ’

When the blonde woman who was turned into a cherry blossom by Xiaoxia saw Ash, she said, "No, why don't you pick a more handsome one? Don't you think the boy who stands with Eevee is better? ”

Xiao Mao, who was accidentally named, laughed dryly, while Xiao Zhi shouted angrily, "I'm not stronger than Xiao Mao!"

Xiao Xia shouted angrily, "Ash, shut up for me!" and shouted embarrassedly at Sakura, "Sister Sakura, things are not like that!" Taking a deep breath, Xiao Xia said righteously, "All in all, in order to protect the reputation of Hualan Gym." Now it's all about sending me to fight. ”

Sakura was helpless, now it is indeed only Xiaoxia's elf who still has the ability to fight, so she agreed. As soon as Sakura agreed, Xiaoxia pointed to Ash's nose and asked Ash if he knew that he was going to fight her.

Ash was taken aback, and then said, "It doesn't matter, as long as you can fight." ”

Shigeru is also very satisfied with this result, after all, only more combat and more experience can make Ash grow into a good trainer.

In this way, the gym competition with the swimming pool as the competition venue officially began. There are two pokemon that can be used, and the first one Ash sends out is Pikachu. But...... Pikachu was reluctant to play, and even when Ash wanted to throw it up, his short limbs grabbed Ash's hand tightly, and his two thin ears hung down, looking unrefreshed.

Seeing that Pikachu was reluctant to fight Xiaoxia, Ash was very helpless. And Xiaoxia was very happy to say to Pikachu, "Pikachu, good boy"

When Pikachu heard this, he suddenly got up and said to Xiaoxia, "Pikachu!"

Ash was helpless, so he could only take out the PokΓ© Ball and summon other Pokemon to fight. After seeing this situation, Shigeru looked at Eevee and asked, "Eevee, if I and Ash are going to fight, and the opponent is Pikachu, will you fight?"

Eevee narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked with a little confusion, "Bouy?" Seeing Eevee's serious appearance, Xiao Mao smiled, "Is this so, don't worry, I won't let you and Pikachu face each other." ”

"Bouie. After hearing Xiao Mao's words, Eevee relaxed. It doesn't want to fight Pikachu, not at all.

Shigeru smiled, then continued to watch the game. Ash used the Ba Da Butterfly, and after the Ba Da Butterfly used the paralysis powder, the starfish's body began to tremble, and Xiao Xia said that she saw the sea star's painful appearance. was complained by Ash, "It has no face, how do you see the expression!"

Xiaoxia said, 'Leave it to you!' and then ordered the starfish to burrow into the water. By the time the starfish jumped on the board again, it was already restored. Xiao Xia began to provoke Xiao Zhi, Xiao Zhi was not convinced and let Ba Da Butterfly use sleep powder, but how could Xiao Xia, who had experienced it once, let Xiao Zhi succeed? quickly ordered the starfish to dodge in the water, and then used the collision, so that Ba Da Butterfly was a little hurried to dodge. Pikachu nodded, his face was happy, which made Xiao Zhi angry, and the little sea lion next to Xiaoxia's third sister on the shore also applauded, and the third sister said helplessly, who are you cheering for.

After seeing Pikachu's reaction, Xiao Mao looked at Eevee, who looked at Ebu Mao slightly, and the last one to shake his head, "Bui." "It doesn't cheer for this kind of boring game.

Seeing Eevee with such a haughty look, Shigeru chuckled, and then continued to watch the game. At this time, Ba Da Butterfly was knocked into the water by Xiaoxia's starfish. Ash was helpless, so he put away the Ba Da Butterfly who was struggling in the water and replaced it with a Bibi bird.

And Xiaoxia also put away the starfish and replaced it with Jewel Starfish 3. Ash asked Bibi Bird to use the blow fly, Bibi Bird quickly instigated its wings to create wind, Xiaoxia ordered in time, and the jewel starfish jumped into the water to dodge. After a bit of buffering, the Dash was used from the water, and the Bibi Bird was forced to stop blowing away.

Ash ordered at this moment, "Use your wings to knock it back." ”

When the jewel starfish flew over, the Bibi bird slapped its wings hard and slapped the jewel starfish into the water. After entering the water, the jewel starfish spun again and flew up and crashed into the Bibi bird.

Bibi Bird was knocked back, and Ash quickly ordered, "Blow him away with the Split Storm!" When the Jewel Starfish flew back again, Billy Bird vigorously instigated its wings and used a stronger wind, blowing the Jewel Starfish away and hitting the wall. After sliding on the ground, it softened into a heap and the beautiful ruby began to shimmer. Xiao Xia looked at the glittering ruby and shouted that it was not good, the energy of the gem starfish was about to run out.

How could Ash let go of such a good opportunity? After encouraging Bibi Bird, he was ready to give the order. It was only at this time that suddenly the storefront began to shake.

Everyone began to look around. At this moment, a strange machine broke through the wall and stopped at the edge of the pool. Xiao Xia and Xiao Zhi ran to Xiao Mao's side, looked at the sudden strange machine on the other side, and asked, "What's the matter?"

At this moment, an unusually familiar female voice remembered, "Since you are sincere in asking questions." With this, Musashi and Kojiro came out of the machine qì with strange poss, after saying the rest of the lines, as well as introducing themselves. When he said his intention, the elf by the water became stronger when he touched the water, but if there was no water, he would become weak.

After Meow Meow finishes saying "Drain all the water", Meow Meow starts working on the machine they are standing on, and a huge water pipe is inserted into the pool.

Seeing this, both Ash and Mao understood that the strange thief Junsha was going to arrest was Team Rocket. And Ash corresponds to the current scene and understands why Team Rocket did this.

Xiaoxia and his sisters shouted at Team Rocket, "Hurry up and stop!" while Xiaomao looked at the swimming pool, the water was surging, and when he saw the meow motive qì, Xiaomao had a bad premonition, and before the pipe was facing them, Xiaomao quickly picked up Eevee. Then a large amount of water hit them and scattered them.

When the water is sucked up again, a whirlpool is created that entangles Pikachu and the baby sea lions. Eevee struggled hard while Mao's attention was all on Pikachu's body. Then he quickly ran around the edge of the pool, and jumped off when he was close to Pikachu. He grabbed Pikachu, but he couldn't get back to the pool.

Xiao Mao said to Xiao Zhi, "Water conducts electricity, let Pikachu use 100,000 volts." ”

"But, Eevee," Ash asked worriedly, but was quickly interrupted by Shigeru, "It's okay. Fast. ”

"Pikachu, use 100,000 volts!" Ash ordered through gritted teeth.

When Pikachu heard Ash's words, he shook Eevee away and used 100,000 volts. Water conducts electricity, and the water pipes are covered with water because of the previous sake, and there are also water droplets at the bottom of the machine. Musashi and their whole bodies were numb from the electricity and fell into the pool. Ash and Shigeru hurriedly ran to the machine, climbed onto the machine, and pulled the lever back, causing the water pipe to spit out Pikachu.

Pikachu and Eevee were soon spit out because they didn't get into the water pipe for long, and were caught by Sakura and Kasumi. And the baby sea lion also crawled back from the ruined wall.

Looking at the dilapidated playing field, Ash suddenly remembered that the game between him and Xiaoxia had not yet been decided, and couldn't help asking, "Then who wins the game?"

Xiaoxia's second sister said that this game didn't count because she was disturbed. Ash said depressedly, "Then, you won't be able to get the blue badge." ”

Sakura said, "No, this badge belongs to you." ”

Xiaoxia shouted displeasedly, "Sister Sakura." ”

Shigeru understood why Sakura made this decision, Pikachu used 100,000 volts before, and the electric elf just restrained the water elf. According to Pikachu's previous table, Xiaoxia will lose a little faster.

And the reason why Sakura gave Ash the blue badge is indeed the same as Shigeru guessed. Xiaoxia expressed dissatisfaction with Sakura's judgment, but couldn't say anything.

Ash gets the blue badge, and Pikachu smiles at it. w,, Xiao Mao chuckled helplessly, this blue badge is still Ash's after all. Later, Xiaoxia's sisters sent them out of the gym and told Xiaoxia in their own way. And Xiao Gang also ran over, so Xiao Zhi and the four of them embarked on the journey again, Xiao Mao looked at Xiao Zhi who was arguing with Xiao Xia, and irresponsibly thought that the journey would become more interesting, right?
