Chapter 116: Challenging the Nepuru Gym
Genma nodded: "Thank you for the reminder, I have already decided to have a special challenge." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"That's good," Xiao Dan nodded, handing Genma a backpack, "Here are some mountaineering tools, which should help you." ”
"Thank you!" Genma took the bag gratefully, he had never had this kind of exercise before, he just prepared some commonly used mountaineering equipment, which could not be compared with the tools carefully prepared by the other party.
"You haven't climbed the mountain, so it's easier for you to follow me later, it's much safer. Xiao Dan said that mountaineering is a relatively dangerous sport after all, and it would be bad if the challenger was injured!
"Thank you!" Genma sincerely thanked again, although the other party said that he would not release water, but doing so was actually releasing water in disguise, otherwise it would be easy to defeat a person like himself who has no mountaineering experience at all.
After a little preparation, the two began the challenge, while the multi-track took the cable car up to the top of the mountain.
The snow-capped mountains of Napuru span a very large altitude span, which leads to the division of temperature zones on the mountain. At the foot of the mountain, the terrain is gentle, the climate is warm and humid, and the vegetation grows lush and beautiful. In this area, Genma can easily keep up with Xiao Dan's pace, and can also devote some of his energy to observing the surrounding environment.
On the mountainside, it is different, it is relatively steep, so the soil is very small, the water is basically not maintained, and there is basically no vegetation to be seen, only occasionally there will be one or two shrubs growing on the cliffs, which makes the area more and more desolate. Here, there are some Pokémon who are good at flying, and they make their home in the rock crevices of the cliffs and live freely. Under Xiao Dan's leadership, Genma avoided the lair of these elves and climbed through the vacated area without disturbing them.
Even with Dan leading the way, the steep cliffs are full of danger and frightening, and it is impossible to imagine how dangerous it is to go without a human to lead the way. After all, not to mention that you may mistakenly enter the elven lair and be attacked by the elves along the way, it takes a lot of time to determine which foothold is safe. Following Xiao Dan, Genma relied on his flexibility and endurance to not be pulled down too much. After leaving the cliffs in the mountainside area, Dan said, "You are very athletic! Your jerky movements mean that this is your first time climbing the mountain, but it is surprising that you can make up for your lack of experience with your speed! ”
Genma smiled and didn't speak, although he hadn't climbed the mountain, he had the power of Changpan, and after a period of combat training, it would be abnormal if he didn't perform well!
Leaving the cliff on the mountainside, the two entered the snowfall area at the top of the mountain. The terrain is gentle, but the temperature is low due to the high altitude, the area is dominated by vegetation and moss, the ground is full of permafrost, and there are snowflakes falling from time to time in the sky. Genma has seen ice-type Pokémon in the neighborhood many times, and even saw a large piece of ice moss stone! It's a pity that his own Eevee doesn't plan to evolve into an ice spirit, otherwise it can be realized immediately.
After seeing that Xuanjian did not show signs of being unsuitable for high altitude, Xiao Dan began to speed up with confidence, and Xuanjian did not admit defeat, the two of them chased after me, and soon came to the destination.
"Very good," Xiao Dan gasped and said to Genma, the two of them arrived almost one after the other, which meant that Genma was not stretched out by him for a long time, and his hopes of winning greatly increased. "So let's move on to the second item. ”
Next, Xiao Dan took Genma and Duo Rail and Abu, who had been waiting at the top of the mountain, to a basin at the top of the mountain. As soon as he entered this basin, Genma felt that the temperature here was much higher than that of the outside world, and there was a yellow sulfur smoke pouring out of the air.
Coming to the center of the basin, Dan said: "Below here is the former crater, but now the volcano is dormant. The heat emitted here melts the snow and ice around it, and the snow water flows down the dug ditch into the rock formation, where it is heated by the magma and erupts into steam, which is used as a raw material to condense a large enough piece of ice. Note that this level is related to the next game, if the ice you condense is not big enough and not strong enough, it will be affected in the future! In addition, it is forbidden to use skills that can generate water themselves, such as blizzards. ”
Genma nodded, this challenge was much more difficult than the frozen hot springs of the ordinary challenge, but it was difficult for him.
"I'll give a demonstration first, come out, Nido. "Xiao Dan took the lead in summoning his trump card, the elf Nido. Although the ice spirit is stronger if you want to condense the ice pillar, such an environment is undoubtedly difficult for the ice spirit to adapt to, and although Nido is not an ice elf, it is undoubtedly more adaptable to the environment due to the attribute of ground poisoning.
With Xiao Dan's summoning, a strong Nido queen appeared in front of everyone, and the high temperature and poisonous environment could not affect it at all. Dan commanded: "After Nido, make a big icicle as before." Then he pressed the stopwatch.
Nido nodded, opened his mouth, and a thick stream of extremely frozen light erupted from it. The target of the extreme freezing light is the fog in the air, and under the action of the extreme freezing light, the white mist quickly shrinks and condenses into Xiaoice gravel, Xiaoice which gradually grows in the extreme freezing light, and finally condenses into a huge icicle. After condensing into icicles, Nido immediately picked up the icicles and quickly ran to the ice and snow area outside the basin to prevent them from being melted by the high temperature in the basin. When Haoli put the icicle on the ground, Xiao Dan stopped the stopwatch and said, "Nine minutes and fifty-eight seconds, an improvement from last time!"
Seeing that Xiao Dan had completed his project, Genma didn't delay and said, "It's my turn, come out, Jewel Starfish!"
"Jewel Starfish, use the mirror attribute first on Nido and then on Nido!" Genma first asked the Jewel Starfish to copy Nido's attributes so that it could adapt to the environment here, and then ordered: "Jewel Starfish, use the Extreme Freezing Light on the fog in the sky and let it condense into icicles!"
Hearing Genma's order, the jewel starfish immediately took action, the gem in the center shone for a while, and the white extremely frozen light immediately shot out from the gem, quickly causing the water vapor in the air to condense, and finally gathered together into a huge icicle.
"It's freezing very fast, but if you don't transport it out of here, it will melt away quickly!" Dan reminded. The special attack of the Jewel Starfish is obviously much higher than that of Nido, and the level is about the same, so the time to condense the icicles is only half of that of Nido, but how to move the icicles out is obviously a problem that the Jewel Starfish will face.
"Jewel Starfish, use the gyro ball to break the icicle first, and then use telekinesis to transport the icicle out!" Genma ordered. Although the Jewel Starfish theoretically does not know telekinesis skills, it is a super-energy elf after all, as long as similar superpower skills are improved, it can also be used as telekinesis to transport objects.
I saw that the jewel starfish quickly spun up and slammed into the bottom of the icicle, and the icicle immediately broke from the bottom. Before the icicle fell to the ground, a force held it firmly, lifted it into the air, and then carried it out of the basin. In the end, it took a total of 10 and 21 seconds for the Jewel Starfish to successfully transport the icicle out, which was 23 seconds more than after Nido.
"Well done, Jewel Starfish. Genma complimented, after all, it was too reluctant to let the handless mollusk gem starfish transport things.
Seeing that the icicles were made and transported to the right place, Xiao Dan announced: "Then let's start the third step, make an ice boat, you should have seen the model of the ice boat, you know how to do it, right?"
Genma nodded, knowing that during today's competition, he deliberately took the time to take the elf to the beach to practice yesterday!
"Okay, then please choose the Pokémon to use, and I use the Nidohou, Haoli, and Flying Mantis on my side. ”
"Well, I've also decided, I'm going to use a gem starfish, a giant pincer mantis, and a fire dinosaur. ”
Xiao Dan, nodded, pressed the stopwatch, and said, "Let's start!" and then began to do it with his elf.
"Let's start too!" Genma said, "Guys, do what you practiced yesterday!"
The three elves nodded, and the fire dinosaur opened its mouth first and spewed out a flame, which opened a large hole in the middle of the icicle first, and then stopped. The giant pincer mantis then swung its pincers to carve it, and soon polished the icicles into the shape of a boat. Then the Jewel Starfish emitted a thin ray of freezing light, further reinforcing the iceboat, and then the three elves worked to polish it at the same time. Soon, a sturdy iceboat was made!
"I'm done!" Genma said to Dan as he looked over to Dan and saw that they were also putting the finishing touches on the reinforcements.
Soon Xiao Dan also finished his work, he took out his stopwatch and looked at it, and said to Genma: "I'm two minutes slow, it's you who are ahead!
Genma smiled and said, "I just took a little trick, and you're also very good." ”
Xiao Dan was no longer modest, and instead said: "In the first game of mountaineering, we are tied, in the second game I am ahead by twenty-three seconds, and in this game you are two minutes ahead, so in general you are one minute and thirty-seven seconds ahead, and in the next ski race, you start one minute and thirty-seven seconds, no problem, right?"
Genma nodded, saying that there was no problem, the skiing was all specially manicured ski slopes, and there were signs along the way, so there was no need for someone to lead the way, and he was completely fine.
Seeing Xuanjian's affirmation, Xiao Dan said, "Then let's start preparing!"
So the two began to prepare. Xiao Dan's side chooses naughty thunder eggs and small fist stones as weights to help control the ice boat, and uses the flying mantis to adjust the balance, the standard professional ski team style. And because there are no elves that can be weighed down on the Genma's side, the giant pincer mantis, the big butterfly and the jewel starfish are chosen.
"Your choice is really different! Xiao Dan commented that he didn't know that due to the characteristics of light metal, in fact, the weight of the giant pincer mantis was actually about the same as that of the flying mantis, and it did not have the ability to weigh weight at all.
For Xiao Dan's misunderstanding, Genma did not explain, and led the elves to push the ice boat to the starting point. Then he climbed into the iceboat, and Genma put the jewel starfish in the front, and he was in the second, followed by the big butterfly, and finally the giant pincer mantis.
After seeing that Xuanma was ready, Xiao Dan ordered: "Prepare, three, two, one, start!"
As Xiao Dan's voice fell, the pincers of the giant pincer mantis pushed hard to the ground, and the ice boat immediately rushed out like an arrow off the string, and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.
"I always feel that something is wrong? It seems that his ice boat is a little floating, is it not weighing enough? Don't have any problems!" said Dan. And Duo Track, who knew the truth on the side, could only smile awkwardly, Mr. Xiao Dan and Miss Guo Mei of Xia Gan Dao Hall are completely different styles!
Genma, who was on the iceboat, quickly realized the pain of not being weighted, his iceboat was very fast, but it was a little floating as Xiao Dan said. Although the snow on the ground is mostly flat, there are places where there are ice masses and inconspicuous bumps, and whenever the iceship presses over them, there are bumps. Fortunately, the passengers on the ship, the big butterfly and the giant pincer mantis are all flying elves, and this little bump will not bother them at all, while the jewel starfish is not afraid of bumps at all, and even Genma quickly adapted to it because of the experience of riding a tyrannosaurus. But soon a great test will come, and they will pass a sharp bend!
"Ba Da Butterfly, use your telekinesis to stabilize the hull. Jewel starfish, use the Water Cannon to slow down. Giant pincer mantis, auxiliary change of direction. Genma ordered that since there was no weight, the speed of the iceship was very fast, and the ride was very unstable, and if it didn't slow down, it would probably rush out of the corner.
Ba Da Butterfly nodded, did not dare to slack off, and immediately used her telekinesis to freeze the violently turbulent iceboat, and the jewel starfish also sprayed a water cannon, slowing down the speed with the help of recoil. And the giant pincer mantis also uses pincers to assist iceships in disguise. With everyone's cooperation, the iceboat finally made a thrilling ride through the first sharp corner.
With this experience, the three elves became more proficient, and then successfully passed through the continuous sharp bends, Z-shaped bends and other difficult areas, and finally reached the foot of the mountain safely, while Xiao Dan arrived almost ten minutes after arriving in Genma.
"Very good!" Xiao Dan stepped off the ice boat and said to Genma, who was already resting on the side, "But your face doesn't seem to be very good, isn't your body feeling well?" The face was almost like motion sickness, and the big butterfly and the giant pincer mantis were lying on the grass without energy, and the jewel starfish was also floating listlessly in the water, and they didn't seem to look very good.
"We're fine. Genma waved his hand, signaling the other party not to worry about himself, although with the full cooperation of everyone, the ice boat successfully arrived at the destination, but Genma was so bumpy that it was dead and alive, and the elves were also tired from the continuous use of skills and tense spirits, and they didn't experience the fun of skiing at all!
"It's okay, congratulations, you've passed the special challenge at the Nepuru Gym. It's proof of your victory – the White Wave Badge. As he spoke, Dan handed a white shell-shaped badge to Genma along with two skill learning machines.
Genma hurriedly took it with both hands: "Thank you, if it weren't for your care, I wouldn't have been able to win!"
Xiao Dan waved his hand and said, "No thanks, this is what I should do, after all, not every trainer has done these sports!
Genma said, "Well, I'm tired today, let's do it next time!" But he thought in his heart: I don't want to do this kind of challenge again!
