Chapter 65: The Hill Loses When They Meet on a Narrow Road
"Whew, it's finally ......"
When a few people came to Withered Leaf City with great difficulty, it had already been more than ten days.
Withered Leaf City is a city near the sea in the Guandu area, located at the south estuary, because it is a maritime port city, the city itself is not big, but you can see a lot of freight ships at the port, constantly pulling and unloading goods, a prosperous scene.
"If it had been sitting with Xana, we would have arrived a long time ago, and we wouldn't have to suffer so much." Tomoko, covered in dust, said with a disgruntled expression, to be honest, it had been five days since the last supply town, and she hadn't taken a shower during that time.
"Well, it's all because Xiao Cheng insisted on walking back to Withered Leaf City, so we didn't have to take a shower, and our whole body stinked!" A long, straight black woman said with a glare.
Damn, which guy said that adventurers should exercise their bodies and minds from time to time when they are away on a journey? Why did you blame me at this time? Women are really creatures who can easily cross rivers and tear down bridges!
Chu Cheng sighed secretly and said, "In short, we have to go to the elf center to register for accommodation first, take a good bath, and eat another big meal by the way, so as to eliminate the fatigue of the day first." ”
"Yes!" The girls said they had no opinion, even Zhizi, who took the elf duel as his life and came to the city to find the first gym duel.
So a duel is life or something, this thing is just a piece of paper talk for women, who always put their own physiological problems first.
After the girls take a good bath and eat a delicious meal, Tomoko's gym challenge journey is about to begin.
"Hey, I said forget it, it's almost 8 o'clock now, don't close the door!" Chu Cheng looked speechlessly at the door of a certain girl full of fighting spirit.
"No, the duel is my life, and I won't give up whatever you say!" The girl said categorically.
Well, Chu Cheng, who now thinks that a duel is life or something, doesn't want to complain anymore, so he can only helplessly accompany the girl and go with her to the Withered Leaf Gym where Maria is.
"Thank you, only you came with me, as soon as those two guys heard that they were going to fight the gym, they immediately closed the door of the room." The girl looked at Chu Cheng with a touched face and said.
"Don't be stupid, I just don't want to see you crying when you're beaten badly, just drag you back before you embarrass us." Chu Cheng pursed his lips.
"Hee-hee, I'm not going to lose, because I have a hill, and the two of us are the strongest together, right, hill~" Tomoko lifted the monster-form hill to her cheek and rubbed it vigorously.
"Don't do such a thing, it's a shame!" Kogaku struggled to break free from Tomoko's grasp, jumped to the ground, and took on human form, pouting.
"Hee-hee, what's the matter, I like the hillock the most! Come, kiss one~" Tomoko stretched out his hand and hugged Xiaoqiu in his arms, and was about to kiss her white and tender cheek.
"Ahem...... Chu Cheng really couldn't stand it anymore, "Before you play with Lily, I think I need to remind you." ”
He pushed his glasses sternly, "The Reichu of Maria, the owner of the Withered Leaf Gym, should have been trained to a very strong point, and if you take it lightly, you will easily fail miserably. ”
Chu Cheng is telling the truth, he also remembers this plot very clearly, in the original work, Zhiye's Pikachu was not Raichu's opponent for the first time, and he was suppressed by Raichu's strong strength and couldn't fight back, and then he was able to win because of Raichu's rapid evolution and ignoring the disadvantage of speed development.
And in this world, Maria's Raichu has not evolved too quickly, and when she was still a Pikachu, she must have done a lot of training to deal with the people who came to kick the gym, and those speed type skills such as high-speed movement and lightning flashes have definitely been mastered by Raichu now. In other words, now that Tomoko's Pikachu has lost his speed advantage, it may not be easy to win this duel.
"Hmph, what are you afraid of, I've even won against the rock-based big rock snake and the mighty tyrannosaurus, how can that Pikachu, who has been losing before, be my opponent?" Xiaoqiu pursed his lips, obviously not taking Chu Cheng's words to heart at all.
It seems that the hillock in front of him has been carried away by the previous consecutive victories, which is not conducive to the challenge of the dojo duel.
"If you're defeated, I'm not going to comfort you." Chu Cheng said lightly.
"Cut, who wants you to comfort me, I can't lose!" The girl still looked like she didn't care.
"That's right, how can my hillock lose, my hillock is the best!" Tomoko said the same.
It seems that the two of them really don't have a sense of crisis at all, and they don't even know that they have set a flag.
A few people were noisy, and soon came to the Withered Leaf Gym, because it was not the first time to come, after showing the elf illustrated book to the staff in the hall, they were released.
“WelcomeToVermilionGym! (Welcome to the Dead Leaf Gym) Oh, it's you! It's been a long time! As soon as the owner Maria met her, she came up enthusiastically and gave everyone a hug.
To be honest, I don't want to complain about this English anymore.,Anyway, the world is empty.,It doesn't matter if the official vulnerability patch is fixed or not.。
"Yes, Maria, long time no see." Tomoko smiled and said, "We're here to challenge your gym this time. ”
"Stop, it's you who challenge, I don't need to challenge the gym anymore." Chu Cheng corrected "kindly" on the side.
"Damn, you dare to mention that!" Zhizi punched Chu Cheng and flew him away.
This incident is a stain on her life! If she met the person who made the exam, she would have to dismantle him!
"Well, although I don't understand what's going on, anyway, it's you who comes to challenge the gym alone." Maria asked.
"Uh......h Right! Tomoko blushed and gritted her teeth to pop out the word.
"Okay, then let's start the duel in this field." Maria nodded.
The two stood on opposite sides of the field.
"My elf is Raichu, come out, Raiden!" Mary gave the order, and out of behind her stepped a large orange mouse-like elf.
After Pikachu's evolution, Raichu still looks a bit like Pikachu, but the overall color of the original itself has changed from yellow to orange, the long and slender ears have become fan-shaped, and the two hands have become fingerless, and the most obvious is that a folded tail has become thin and long, with a lightning-like end behind the tail.
"Okay, my elf is a pickup, go on, hillock!" Tomoko also pointed forward, and Kogaku followed her command, changing from a human type back to a monster type, and walked to the center of the field.
"Hill, use trickery!" Tomoko took it for granted that she used her buff skill at the beginning.
Trickery, which temporarily activates the brain, increases the degree of control over energy, and ultimately increases the power of energy-related skills.
A white light emitted from the hillock's body and began to strengthen itself.
"Thunderbolt, take advantage of the moment, move at high speed and flash with lightning!" Instead of using the same buff or debuff skills, Maria ordered her Raichu to attack.
I saw that the thunderbolt figure on the other side of the field moved, and rushed towards the hillock that was still being strengthened at an incredible speed, but in the blink of an eye, it had already come to a short distance in front of the hillock, and then used a flash of lightning to directly crash into the hillock at a faster speed!
"Phew!" Before the hillock could be strengthened, it had already been sent flying.
"Strengthen your pokemon first to prepare for future attacks, I admit that your tactics are good. But in front of speedy opponents, this will only expose your weaknesses. Maria on the other side shook her head and taught Sister Zhi how to be a person in a serious manner.
"Damn......" Tomoko clenched her fists tightly, she didn't expect to lose the lead as soon as she got on the field, "Hey, Xiaoqiu, can you still stand up?" Tomoko shouted towards the hill that had fallen to the ground.
"Ahem...... Pika, Pikachu. The hillock struggled to her feet, but it seemed that she was not lightly injured, and Maria's thunder and lightning were not only fast in speed, but also strong in strength.
"Well done! Knoll, use thunder to show your opponents the power of your electricity! Tomoko complimented Kogaku and decided to use Koka's toughest skills.
The hillock nodded, and then began to condense the electricity from the electric bag on his cheek.
"Oh? Do you want to use energy-based skills? So Raiden, let them see the results of our one-month special training! Use Thunder! Not to be outdone, Maria ordered her Raiden to use the same type of skill.
The thunderbolt on the field stared, and then, like the other party's hillock, began to condense electricity.
"It's now, Konoka (Thunderbolt), use Thunder!" Both sides shouted at the same time.
I saw that above the two sides of the field, a piece of black clouds and mist gradually condensed, and the clouds and mist continued to make thunder and lightning sounds, more and more, bigger and bigger, and finally, the clouds and mist on both sides at the same time rained down a lightning as thick as a python, attacking each other!
"Boom!" Two bolts of lightning collided together, sending out a deafening explosion that obscured the entire field with smoke from the explosion.
Although I want to complain about why the collision of lightning and lightning will explode in the form of energy like the Turtle School Qigong, there will be smoke after the explosion, but it is obvious that the focus should not be on this at this time.
"Ahem...... Who won? Tomoko choked on the smoke, and she waved her hand to fan it away.
The smoke from the explosion gradually cleared, revealing the dead knoll that had returned to its human form and the thunderbolt standing there in its dead state.
"How...... How so? Tomoko looked at the Qiē happening in front of her in disbelief that her hillock would lose! And the other party's Raichu was unscathed!
"Both Pikachu and Raichu can direct their lightning to the earth with their tails, and electrical skills are usually ineffective for them. But obviously, because your Pikachu has not evolved, it can't store so much electricity on its own, and when it encounters a super electrical attack, the body may not have time to direct the electricity that is channeled into itself to the earth, so the excess electricity that is not channeled into the earth will attack your Pikachu itself. Maria explained to Tomoko, who was still in a daze.
Indeed, Pikachu and Reichu often need to be discharged, even if they have no purpose, because they store electrical energy in their bodies, otherwise they may be paralyzed or even die. They usually release excess energy through their tails, releasing unwanted energy as safely as lightning rods. And because Raichu is an evolutionary type, his body can store more electricity than Pikachu, and the thunder emitted is stronger. That's why the attack just now led to those two extremes.
"Knook, how are you?" Tomoko came to her senses, rushed forward, and hugged the hill.
Chu Cheng also ran over.
"Ahem, it's okay, I'm fine, I can still fight ......" The corners of the hill's mouth were overflowing with blood, and he tried to stand up, but found that he had no strength.
Chu Cheng squatted down and checked Xiaoqiu's injuries, and found that her body was no longer suitable for fighting again.
"Don't be pushy, get back to the Poké Ball!" Chu Cheng said solemnly.
"No, I don't admit I'm going to lose, I can still fight! Let me hit ......" The girl didn't listen to the persuasion at all, she still tried to stand up.
"Smack!"
Xiaoqiu covered his face and looked blankly at Chu Cheng who stretched out his hand.
"Think of yourself, and think of your master." Chu Cheng said expressionlessly.
The hillock lowered his head and did not speak.
"I'm sorry, our side lost this game, I'm going to take her to treatment now." Chu Cheng stood up and said calmly to Maria.
"Okay, it just so happens that we're going to close here." Maria nodded.
"Also, victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, and I have lost many times before."
As Chu Cheng and the others left, Maria said this again behind them, and her voice revealed a hint of concern.
"Well, thank you for teaching." Tomoko turned around and bowed to Maria.
