Pokémon Researcher Road

Chapter 18 The Multitrack Challenge

Hearing Sakura's question, Duogui replied, "Of course, isn't the purpose of coming to the gym to be a challenge?" But Xuanma felt that she seemed a little lacking in confidence, and her face seemed a little too serious.

"Probably too nervous." Xuan Jian thought so.

"Okay, then Mr. Xuanjian, for the sake of fairness, can I trouble you to be the referee?" Sakura asked Xuanjian.

"No problem, of course."

"Then please come with me, there is a spare space over there."

Everyone followed to a new pool, and Sakura and Duogui stood at both ends of the venue.

"Then I announce that the newcomer trainer from Hualan City will challenge Hualan Gym Cherry Blossom in multiple tracks. The venue is the water field. The number of Pokmon that both parties can use is 3. Gym trainers are not allowed to exchange Pokmon. Challengers can exchange Pokmon. Then I announce the start of the game." Xuanma imitated the tone of the referee he had seen before.

"Go, little sea lion." Sakura first summoned the Pokémon.I don't know if it's because I have dealt with too many challengers today, and the Pokmon in my hand is almost exhausted, so I used such a Pokémon.At least from Xuanma's point of view, this little sea lion has just broken out of the novice level.

There was a smug smile on the corner of Duogui's mouth. It seemed that his plan had succeeded. If the opponent took out such a weak Pokémon, he should be able to win.

"Come on, Squirrel." Duogui summoned a Squirtle, which is probably her initial Pokémon. It seems to be well bred, both physically and mentally.

"The challenger, please attack first."

"Jenny Turtle can play freely." Duogui uttered a sentence that shocked the audience.

"Free play? Is this a skill?" Xiaoxia asked Xuanjian curiously.

"No, how should I put it?" Xuanjian was also at a loss. "This is to let the Squirrel fight freely, and the trainer doesn't give it any instructions. Some elves have high fighting qualities and can do well without cooperating with the trainer, so some trainers often do this in order to show their strength. Or the tacit understanding between the elves and the trainer is already very high, and they can cooperate tacitly without using words."

"Sounds great."

Xuan Jian nodded, no matter which one is rare, could it be that the girl in front of me who has just become a trainer is a genius to this extent?
Hearing the multi-track order, the Squirrel opened its mouth, sprayed a jet of water gun, and shot at the little sea lion.And the little sea lion didn't need the trainer's order, turned around and jumped into the water from the floating plate, avoiding the attack.

"Little sea lion, swim over and push the Jenny into the water." Sakura ordered.The little sea lion immediately swam towards the Jenny turtle, lifted it up from under the floating plate, and immediately pushed the Jenny turtle into the water.

Compared with the little sea lion who lives in the water most of the time, although the Squirrel is also a water elf, it lives on land most of the time, and its flexibility in the water is not as good as that of the little sea lion.Seeing that the little sea lion successfully pushed the Squirtle into the water, Sakura immediately ordered the little sea lion to attack the Squirrel with various physical skills from all around.

The attacked Squirrel responds by retracting into its shell and using its hard shell to resist the attack.But this little sea lion is not good at fighting, and his acting talent is full. When he saw the Squirtle retracted into the shell, he immediately thought of the ball he usually played, and immediately excitedly lifted the Squirrel to play various tricks...
In the end, this weird fight resulted in the Squirrel being pushed around like a ball, making him dizzy and losing his fighting power.

"This is the so-called free play, it doesn't seem to be a big deal!" Xiaoxia on the side muttered.

"No way, although the elves are also very smart, most of them are not as good as humans. If there is no trainer to direct them, many elves cannot fully display their strength. Otherwise, with the level of that squirrel, it would not be difficult to defeat the little sea lion."

"Hmph, no matter what you say, my eldest sister won." Xiaoxia said arrogantly.

Xuanjian shook his head speechlessly, looked at Duogui who was still posing next to him, "Miss Duogui?"

"Well, what's the matter?" Duogui replied, but his voice sounded weird, completely missing the feeling of being full of energy and showing off his might.Everyone looked at her one after another, and Xuanjian realized that something was wrong with Duogui. Although she put her arms around her chest and pretended to be calm, her closed eyes, pale face, and hands tightly clutching her clothes all showed that she was abnormal.

"Miss Duogui, are you okay?" Xuanjian asked, could it be because of illness?People in this world are all in good health and rarely get sick, but looking at each other, they are exactly the same as those girls with "stomach pain" in previous lives!

"I'm fine, what's the matter?" Duogui still closed his eyes, not looking at the field.

"What, I don't even know that my Pokmon has lost its combat power." Xiaoxia complained.

"What?" Duogui suddenly opened his eyes, saw the fainted Squirtle on the field, and was startled: "Why? I'm sorry, Squirrel, I shouldn't have let you fight." As he said that, he put away the Squirrel and bowed to everyone: "Sorry, I give up this game." After saying that, he ran away without looking back.

"It's still like this." Sakura sighed helplessly, and took back the little sea lion.

"Still like this? Could it be that Miss Duogui was like this before." Xuanjian couldn't help asking curiously.

"Well, their family and our family can be regarded as acquaintances. This child obviously likes Pokmon, but he looks like this when he encounters a battle." Sakura shook her head, unwilling to talk more, "Thank you, Mr. Xuanjian, the carp king is here. If you need it, you can take it away at any time."

"It's a little thing, I should thank you..."

Dividing line---
After challenging the Hualan gymnasium, Xuanjian didn't rush on the road, but planned to take a rest in Hualan city.In addition, the supplies I carried were also consumed a lot, and I needed to replenish some, and at the same time process some medicinal materials collected along the way, so Xuanjian stayed in the elf center.

For the trainers recognized by the alliance, the elf center is a good boarding point.Not only is board and lodging free, but it is also safe and comfortable. Of course, if there is no special reason, such free boarding has a time limit.In the elf center, Xuanjian met many trainers, both newcomers and veterans.Xuanjian would challenge some trainers every day, and most of the trainers readily accepted, and the two sides had a friendly exchange of ideas.Through these exchanges and daily training, the elves in Xuanjian are growing rapidly.

Guessing that the time for free boarding is almost up, Genma decides to continue on the road trip.But just as he was about to hit the road, an unexpected person stopped him.

"Miss Duogui, is there anything you can do to stop me?" Xuanjian looked at the person in front of him and asked.

"Well, I have something I want to talk to you about." Duogui nodded, "There is a tea restaurant over there with a nice environment, let's go there and talk."
