After Tsubaki left, I continued to live a life of eating and opening my mouth, and another three days passed.

This morning, before the cherry blossoms came, I tried to sit up with support, I felt a little pull on the scar on my back, but fortunately it didn't tear, I tried to stand up and walk, I felt that the wound was not a big problem, so I walked out of the room and walked around the gym. Although the previous shirt has been abolished, and there is no shirt to wear for the time being, after all, it is tightly bandaged, and it is not afraid of immorality.

Walking down the corridor to the innermost end, there is the room where Sumio was previously held, which has been repaired, and it can still be seen that the explosion has affected about 4 nearby rooms, only the area behind the blastoise at that time does not appear to be damaged.

"How did you get out? Shouldn't you have to rest for another two days? "When she saw me coming, Sakura, who was supervising the work on the side, hurriedly came over to support me.

"It's uncomfortable to lie down for a long time, but I don't think I'm doing anything anymore." I replied, "By the way, why haven't you seen a peony in the past few days?" ”

"As soon as you come out, you're looking for peonies?" Sakura smiled, pointing in the direction of the gym to the battlefield, "I'll help you go over there and have a look." ”

"No, no, I'll just go myself." I said my injuries were out of the way.

Sakura dragged me straight away, and said, "I don't dare, if you fall again, you'll have to take another week of sick leave." I'm counting on you to come back to work and give me a few days off. ”

So I was forcibly helped to the opposite battlefield, and before I could go inside, I heard the sound of calamus and peonies coming from inside.

"Wait," I told Sakura to stop at the door, "what are they doing?" ”

"Someone has come to challenge in the past few days, and we will help you with the next step." Sakura said.

"No, didn't you put up a notice saying that the business was temporarily closed?" I asked again.

"We feel that although our strength is still far from the gym master, Hualan City is only the second gym on the route recommended by the alliance to rookie trainers after all, and the strength of the trainers who have come here is not strong, so we can still handle it. However, our strength is indeed insufficient. Sakura paused at this point.

I interjected and said, "It's okay to lose, you can beat you and qualify for the Blue Badge." ”

"We didn't lose to these challengers yet, but we needed to give it our all when we fight, and we often couldn't get to the point at the critical moment, causing some unnecessary damage. And we can't be like Xiaomei, whether the challenger passes the test or not, give them some advice, which will help the challenger's growth, which is what the gym owner needs to do. Sakura said with a bitter face.

"So Calamus and Peony are practicing each other's fighting skills?"

"Yes, I'm mainly staring at the maintenance of the gym these days, the second sister regularly goes to the northern suburbs every day to feed the Pokémon, and the third sister makes us food, in addition to that, as long as we have time, we practice with each other, and now my little sea lion and the second sister's big tongue have also evolved, and the 6 fossil Pokémon you gave us are almost the time to evolve, and everyone's strength is improving quickly," after being silent for a while, he said, "It's not easy to improve your strength, three years ago, my little sister must have been more difficult than us." ”

"Okay, okay, aren't I recovering, what should you do in the future or what to do, I will do a good job as the owner of the pavilion before Xiaoxia comes back." I said it seriously.

"You can rest assured that you will be the owner of the pavilion, and we will not rob you. It's just that the investigators who came from the alliance last time also said that the Guandu area will be unsafe immediately, and if we can improve our strength, we can also protect ourselves at that time. ”

"I see, open the door."

Sakura stretched out her hand and pushed the door of the arena open, helping me inside.

In front of them, Calamus and Peony both stared intently at the pool in the center, and the Iron Shell and the Goldfish King were facing each other in the field, first Calamus ordered the Iron Shell to shrink into the shell to withstand the Horn Collision of the Goldfish King, and then the Goldfish King used ultrasound waves on the Iron Shell in the shell under the instructions of Peony, trying to make the Iron Shell fall into chaos, but was interrupted by the Iron Shell suddenly using a spiked cannon, but when the Iron Shell broke out of the shell and wanted to end the battle with a frozen beam, it was dodged by the Goldfish King's high-speed movement, and a horn drill was about to hit the Iron Shell.

"Hold on." Hearing my voice, Ironclad was like seeing a lifesaver, and after a wall of light was raised, King Goldfish's horn drill failed to break through. Calamus and Peony's gaze also shifted from the two Pokémon they were fighting against me to mine.

"It's not over yet, go ahead." I told them.

"If you don't come, I'll already lose." With that, Calamus retracted the ironclad shell.

"How did you get out? Shouldn't you have to rest for another two days? Peony asked, looking at me.

"How do you talk exactly the same way as your sister?" I looked at Peony and then at Sakura, "The injury on my back shouldn't be a problem, it's been delayed for so many days, I have to improve my strength quickly, Team Rocket probably won't leave me for long." ”

"That's right, if you don't get up again, I'm going to overtake you." Peony said and raised the Poké Ball in his hand.

"Look, if you can, do you want to compete with me?" I said defiantly.

"It's better than that, some people don't get beaten so much that they can't get out of bed again." Peony is not to be outdone.

"Sakura, borrow your white sea lion."

"Oh." Sakura handed me the white sea lion's Poké Ball and helped me to the opposite battlefield.

"White sea lions, water rings." I was the first to call out the Pokémon, and after a red light, the white sea lion appeared in the pool, its whole body was snow-white, with sharp horns on its head like a baby sea lion, two downward teeth on the side of its mouth, its eyes were larger than before evolution, the hands on both sides of its body became fin-like objects, and its tail changed from two tails that split before evolution to one tail. As soon as it enters the pool, it is covered with a curtain of water around its body.

Although Peony didn't call out the King of Goldfish right away, it seemed that the white sea lion didn't have anything to strengthen his skills, so I could only wait until Peony slowly put the King Goldfish into the pool before starting the next round of action.

"Use your voice first." At my command, the white sea lion made a cute cry at the King Goldfish, causing the King's attack to slowly decrease. At the same time, Peony immediately asked the King Goldfish to block my cry with ultrasound, and tried to find an opportunity by throwing the white sea lion into chaos.

"Yes, the reaction is quite quick this time," I complimented Peony, "and it will be a problem for her to succeed, the white sea lion interrupts it with ice gravel." As soon as the words fell, the white sea lion instantly made an ice cube and quickly threw it at the goldfish king, but as expected, the goldfish king used high-speed movement to dodge it, and approached at a very fast speed.

"King Goldfish slammed into each other." "White sea lions with a head hammer." There was a bang, and the two Pokémon stirred up layers of waves in the pool, and after the water dissipated, the two Pokémon had separated again, although the horns of the King Goldfish were harder and sharper than those of the white sea lion, but due to the impact of the cry just now, in fact, the damage on both sides was almost the same.

"Again." I immediately ordered the White Sea Lion to strike again. Peony was also forced to order the King of Goldfish to continue the battle.

"If you go on like this, it's just a lose-lose, even if you win by luck, it's just luck, what kind of tactic can this be?" Peony was angry on the other side.

"The famous Pokémon master Ash once said that luck is also a kind of strength." I laughed and said, "And look carefully, who told you that I was betting my luck with you." ”

Due to the fierce competition, I saw that the physical strength of the goldfish king and the white sea lion was rapidly declining, but the white sea lion was surrounded by the water curtain, and the physical strength decreased significantly.

"Is it the beginning of the water ring?" Peony asked.

"Now you know? Why didn't you stop me in the first place? ”

"I'm not ready for you to use your skills first, this is a trick, it's not counted." Peony stomped his foot and took the goldfish king back.

"Think about what you're practicing for," I said to Peony, looking at Sakura and Irises and gesturing to my back, "Why did the enemy give you the opportunity to prepare?" ”
