Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Smoke and Ink Gym
After saying this, Luo dragged Sakura out of the arena in turn, leaving Iris and Peony in place.
After a while, Peony put the Poke Ball in his hand back on his waist and said to Calamus: "Second sister, you see that he is becoming more and more presumptuous, he actually murdered you just now." ”
Calamus told Peony: "If you don't want this to happen next time, do as he says." At the end, he threw down a sentence: "He only murdered you, not me." ”
Luo and Sakura's side, after walking out of the battle arena, Luo suddenly fell forward, fortunately, Sakura quickly grabbed him, and finally did not fall directly to the ground, but under the violent pull, the wound on Luo's back was torn again, and he inhaled with a painful expression, Sakura hurriedly helped him back to the room, and after returning to the lying posture a few days ago, Luo gradually eased up.
"What do you think you have to do? Let you rest for two more days, you must show off, don't you? What if you win Peony? Sakura scolded at Luo.
"The last time I underestimated the enemy, I thought about Team Rocket too simply. Now I know very well that the enemy is strong, and that my current strength is not enough to protect you, or even to protect myself, so I want to make you aware of that as well. Luo looked at the cherry blossom green eyes and said seriously, "Just now I also saw that the strength of calamus and peony has been greatly improved, and your white sea lion is the same, but I don't want you to think that you are very strong because of this, after all, if you lose the game, you will lose, and if you practice well, you will fight back, which is different from the battle of Team Rocket." ”
"This is all your previous combat experience, after all, we are only facing the challenge of the Corridor Hall, so it's understandable that we can't change all of a sudden, give us a little time." Being looked at like this by Luo, Sakura's eyes were slightly evasive, and she still explained to her sister in her words.
"There's no time to train slowly, I'll be in charge of your training next, let Peony be obedient, and stop for a while in the gym challenge, it's no longer enough to train your strength by this." After Luo finished speaking, he continued without waiting for Sakura to object: "There is still a little thing to trouble you, help me buy two clothes, it always feels weird to go out and walk around like this." ”
Sakura said yes and left the room, calling Calamus and Peony to go out on the street to choose clothes. And Luo was lying on the bed thinking about what way to quickly improve his strength, or to improve the strength of the Sakura sisters.
At this moment, Xiaoxia successfully crossed the Silver Mountain, arrived in the Chengdu area, and after finding someone to inquire about the direction, she came to the closest city to the Silver Mountain in a straight line - Yanmo City.
Yanmo City is a city located in the northeast corner of the Johto region, and most of the trainers who come here are to challenge the owner of the Yanmo Gym, Kochun, to obtain the Shenglong Badge. Because of the existence of the dragon's lair, most of the trainers born here are trainers who are good at using dragon-type Pokémon. Tsubaki and her elder brother Adu, who is the head of the Four Heavenly Kings of Guandu, are both trainers from the Imperial Dragon Family in Yanmo City.
The dancing swan landed in front of the door of the Yanmo Gym, Xiaoxia jumped down, put away the dancing swan and walked into the door of the Smoke and Ink Gym.
As soon as you enter the gate, the stone-paved road comes to an abrupt end, and in front of you is a wide abyss, and the bright red lava below the abyss is constantly tumbling. The three one-meter-square platforms in front of them seem to be made of black granite material, and in front of the abyss stands a sign that reads: "What kind of existence is a Pokémon to you?" And on each of the three platforms, there is a sign that reads "Friend", "Partner" and "Subordinates".
Xiaoxia first walked to the platform with "Friend" written on the left, and after stopping for a long time, she stepped on the platform with "Partner" written on it. When she stepped on the platform, she felt a slow movement under her feet.
After a while, the platform reached a large clearing formed of granite, and the outline of the battle arena was prominently outlined on the clearing. A man dressed in the uniform of the gym staff stood in the seat of the challenged person and said to Xiaoxia: "Welcome to the Yanmo Gym, I am the trainer of the gym, Tomohiko, I am responsible for checking whether your choice just now is true, please take action." With that, he was the first to call out a sea thorn dragon.
Xiaoxia didn't say anything superfluous, the Poké Ball was thrown out of her hand, and after a burst of red light, the jewel starfish appeared on the field. Under Xiaoxia's order, he took the lead in using high-speed stars to attack. The sea thorn dragon opened its mouth wide, and a purple wave of light emanated from its mouth, scattering the star-shaped light, and the aftermath of the dragon's wave continued to run towards the jewel starfish.
"Use a wall of light." After Xiaoxia's command was issued, a transparent barrier was formed in front of the jewel starfish, and the purple light waves stirred up layers of ripples through the barrier, and more than half of the energy overflowed, and when the attack finally landed on the jewel starfish, it only caused a small amount of damage.
Realizing that his attacks didn't have much effect, Tomohiko quickly changed his battle strategy and said to the Sea Thorn Dragon, "Use the smoke screen first, then the dragon dance." Then a cloud of smoke erupted from the mouth of the sea thorn dragon, and soon spread, the field was full of thick smoke, Xiaoxia and the jewel starfish could not find the location of the sea thorn dragon for a while, until the other party hid in the shadows and continued to strengthen their abilities. Since there is nothing to do with the sea thorn dragon in the smoke for the time being, Xiaoxia can only let the jewel starfish use the power of the universe, and also begin to strengthen her attributes.
"Gather energy, and then finish it off with a waterfall climb!" With a few deep breaths, the sea thorn dragon concentrated its energy, and with the momentum that was strengthened to the extreme by the dragon dance, it pounced on the jeweled starfish with a ray of water.
The defense ability of the jewel starfish also reached its peak at this time with the blessing of the cosmic power, and at this moment, its body also began to rotate at a high speed.
"Delusional about using high-speed rotation to clear the smoke? I'm sorry, but I can only ask you to come back next time. When Tomohiko's words fell, the two Pokémon collided.
After a roar, the sea thorn dragon flew out of the smoke, but the jeweled starfish was nowhere to be seen. It's just that unlike Tomohiko expected, the sea thorn dragon looks like it has received a strong counterattack, and the loss of physical strength is very serious. He hurriedly ordered the sea thorn dragon to use a tornado to blow away the smoke and observe the situation of the jewel starfish in the field. A whirlwind blew, and soon the smoke dispersed, and the jeweled starfish stood in the arena intact.
"Use the Strange Light now, and then do the Gyro Ball again." With a strange circle of light flashing, the jewel starfish spun at high speed again, attacking the sea thorn dragon. The sea thorn dragon looked obviously out of his mind, and once again attacked the jewel starfish with a waterfall, no matter how Tomohiko commanded, it didn't work at all, and as a result, the speed strengthened to the extreme by the dragon dance not only failed to exert the desired effect, but allowed the gyro ball to hit the extreme damage with a high speed difference. After the same roar as before, the Sea Thorn Dragon was sent flying again, only this time completely incapacitated, while the Jewel Starfish quickly regenerated itself after launching an attack, and once again returned to its intact state.
"Congratulations Challenger, you can go on." Tomohiko put away the sea thorn dragon and pointed towards the depths of the gym.
After Xiaoxia said a word of concession, she put away the jewel starfish and walked inside, and after passing through the battlefield, there was a sign in front of the abyss, which read: "What is the most important thing in cultivating Pokémon?" In front of them are the same three platforms, each with the words "Love", "Knowledge", and "Power". This time, Xiaoxia did not hesitate and directly stepped on the platform with "love" written on it.
As the platform moved, this time it seemed to have reached the deepest part of the gym, a white-bearded old man stood beside the abyss, and when he saw Xiaoxia coming out of the platform, he asked a question: "Little girl, the two choices just now are actually the same problem, the person who chooses to take Pokémon as a friend will cultivate Pokémon with his own love; Those who choose to consider Pokémon as a combat partner will use their knowledge to improve the Pokémon's strength; Those who choose to treat Pokémon as their subordinates will control Pokémon with their own power. But why did you choose love after choosing a partner? ”
