With the blessing of the sword dance, the two flying mantis fought again, and this time they fought more fiercely.

However, because the attributes are the same, the moves are basically the same, and it seems that it is difficult to distinguish the winner for a while.

The two Pokémon hit mid-air from the ground to the air, and then from mid-air to the ground, because of the frequent use of combo slashes, Xia You's ears were full of the sound of clanging blades, and his eyes couldn't keep up with their movement speed.

And maybe it was because he couldn't attack for a long time, and he felt a little bad in his heart, Ah Bi was obviously in a hurry, and he kept ordering the flying mantis to use a flash of electric light, with cross scissors, as if he wanted to find a chance to win through this high-speed battle.

But Xia You naturally wouldn't give him such a flaw, using a shadow clone with high-speed movement, he can often play a defensive counterattack.

In this way, the flying mantis still fell behind.

In the end, Scar was a step ahead, seized the gap in the Flying Mantis's attack, and hit it with a secret attack to win the final victory.

Puff ......

The Flying Mantis fell straight down and fell into a coma, and then looked at Xia You's Flying Mantis, because it had been fighting with high intensity because of its non-stop movement before, so that it consumed a lot of physical strength in this battle, although it was winning now, it was also so tired that it was sweating.

The referee held up the colorful flag: "The Flying Mantis loses its ability to fight, and this gym battle is won by the challenger!" ”

Putting away his flying mantis, Ah Bi walked to Xia You's side with an emotional face.

"I lost, this flying mantis of yours is really amazing, I didn't expect that I, as a bug-based Pokémon trainer, actually lost to another bug-based Pokémon, it seems that my cultivation is really not enough."

Xia You smiled slightly, waited for the scar to come over, and touched its forehead with his hand: "This flying mantis of mine was already the leader of their group before it was subdued, even among the flying mantises, it also belongs to the kind of strength that is very powerful, and to be honest, your flying mantis is also very strong, if I am a little negligent, I am afraid that I will be the one who fails this time." ”

"That's ...... so"

Ah Bi suddenly realized, but in his heart, he was even more curious about the insect Pokémon Island in Xia You's mouth.

Well, the next time you practice, you must go there and have a look!

Next month... No, I'm going to check it out next week!

After a brief exchange, Ah Bi took out a badge from his pocket and handed it to Xia You.

"This is the insect badge, a proof of defeating me, please keep it."

Xia You thanked him, and looked at his palm with Lijia, who walked to his side, only to see that there was a red and black badge in his palm, which was like a ladybug, which was really no different from the ladybug he saw on the earth.

And with this badge in hand, as soon as he gets the last badge, he can go to the Silver Tournament!

After a few more small talks, Xia You and Lijia said goodbye and left.

After leaving the Hinoki Gym, the two did not leave Hinoki Town immediately, but first found a hotel with a hot spring to live in, and soaked in the hot springs to relieve fatigue and recover their strength.

After all, in the past two days, they have walked too many mountain roads back and forth to Charizard Canyon, and if they don't take a break, I'm afraid something will go wrong.

Wait until the next morning, after a night of repairs, the two of them are in good spirits, and then they head towards the last Daoist City!

……

Manjin City, a prosperous metropolis.

It is located in the central and western part of the Johto region, located by the sea, which is the financial, technological and political center of the Jotoshi City, and is also the only international metropolis comparable to the Golden City on the mainland of Joto and Guandu.

In fact, it can be seen from the names of these two cities that people's impression of this place is that there is money everywhere and opportunities everywhere, which shows how prosperous they are.

After leaving Hinoki Town, Xia You and Lijia finally arrived in this metropolis after a day and a half of travel.

Their final goal is the Manjin Dojo in Manjin City.

The Manjin Gym is the official Gym of Manjin City, and its owner is Xiao Qian, who is proficient in general attribute Pokémon, and after defeating her, you can get a regular badge.

Walking on the streets of Manjin City, it can be seen that there are many high-rise buildings here, there is a lot of traffic everywhere, and even people's clothes are a lot more fashionable.

Being in it makes Xia You forget that he is in the Pokémon world, and instead has a sense of déjà vu returning to the metropolis on Earth.

Sure enough, no matter what the world is, there are people who are busy with life......

Seeing Xia Youdong looking around, looking curious, Lijia couldn't help but chuckle: "You have already seen Golden City and Manjin City, so which city do you think is more prosperous compared to them?" ”

Sample, you still want to test me!

"Pretty much." Xia You thought for a moment, "In fact, the city has developed to this extent, I think there is basically no difference except for the slight difference in the landmark buildings, it is nothing more than one by the sea, and the other is not by the sea." ”

Lijia nodded, indeed, when the size and technology of the city reached a certain level, it was already much the same.

Along the street, the two came to the Golden Yellow Pavilion.

Located in the center of the city, the Golden Hall occupies a huge area and looks like a large stadium from the outside.

If it weren't for the Pokémon League logo hanging on the gate, looking at its majesty, Xia You would really think that this was just a football stadium!

However, when I just came to the door, I was told by the staff that the owner of the hall had just gone out and was not in the gym at this time.

Hearing this, Xia You couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

Thinking about it, it is really unfortunate in the past few days, first Ah Bi from Hinoki Town left, so that he had to wait for three days, and now even Xiaoqian has left, which is really unfortunate.

Could it be that seeing that his journey was too smooth, God began to target him?

Fortunately, the staff later informed that Xiao Qian was just wandering around the city, and even if she didn't come back today, she would definitely appear in the gym tomorrow, which made Xia You feel a little relieved.

Leaving the gym, Xia You looked at the unfamiliar streets around him, and turned his head to look at Xing Lijia: "It's just noon, let's find a place to settle down first, and come back later." ”

"No problem." Lijia agreed, but smiled again, "Since you are free now, you can finally come to Manjin Market, why don't you accompany me to go shopping?" ”

Hearing this, Xia You looked at Lijia and felt extremely guilty.

Indeed, Lijia has been with her all the way, running around, never complaining or any dissatisfaction, such a friendship can ordinary people do?

I really should find time to spend time with her.

"Okay, where do you want to go?"

Lijia thought for a while: "I've heard that the department store here is very famous, so let's go there first!" ”
