Pokémon Beyond the Blue

Early in the morning, there was a knock on the door of Nibi Gym.

"Is anyone here? I am Xiaozhi from Zhenxin Town, and I am here to challenge!"

Ikki rubbed his sleepy eyes and yawned loudly.Riolu also came over. Although his mental condition was okay, he actually felt a little cold.

"Xiao Zhi, do we need to come here so early? Maybe they haven't come yet."

Ikki was pulled up from the bed by Xiaozhi. He was really "pulled" up. By the way, Riolu, who was sleeping next to him, was pushed to the ground.Although I felt a little unhappy that my sleep was disturbed, since the bed was very comfortable and I was recovering well, I just pretended it never happened.

"Come in, the door is open."

There was a long echo from the door. Ash pushed the door open forcefully, and Ikki and Riolu also stepped in.

"Hey! You guys are so mean, you didn't even come to help me!"

Nibi City Gym looks quite large from the outside, but once inside, the huge gym seems a bit empty.

"Hey, why are there no challengers?"

Ikki rolled his eyes at Xiaozhi and thought: It's not because you came here so early. Usually everyone is sleeping at this time!

Xiaogang sat cross-legged on the stage and said calmly: "Are you all here for the challenge?"

Ikki nodded silently, and Riolu silently walked aside.

I had already discussed with Ikki last night that I would not interfere in his gym competition, and he needed to rely on his own efforts to complete it.

"Of course! I am Xiaozhi from Zhenxin Town, and I am here to defeat you!"

Ash has a lot of aura, but Riolu knows very well that at this stage, he has no idea what the battle is about, and failure is inevitable.In comparison, Ikki is much more skilled, so he should have a high probability of winning.

"Okay, I accept your challenge." Xiaogang jumped off the stage and took a few steps forward. "The number of elves used in the battle is two. The game will continue until all the elves on one side lose the ability to fight or admit defeat. You No problem!"

"Of course, no problem! Even if I can only use one, I can still defeat you!"

When Xiaogang heard what Xiaozhi said, he chuckled and said, "You are still a newcomer, right? Hasn't anyone told you to be polite when talking to others?"

The lights suddenly turned on, illuminating the dim interior and revealing the playing field from the darkness.

"Then let's get started! Go to Little Fist Stone!"

————————————————————

As expected, Xiaozhi's challenge quickly ended in failure.

"You still have a lot to learn! Ash."

Xiaogang took back the small fist stone and said to Xiaozhi with some disappointment.

Riolu tugged at Ikki to divert his attention.

【what do you think? 】

Ikki thought for a moment and nodded towards Riolu.

"Although Xiaogang is very powerful, there is a possibility of victory, and I will try my best to try."

Riolu shrugged and sat down on the ground.

[Then go ahead and do your best]

With Riolu's support, Ikki suddenly felt more at ease.Whatever Riolu said would cause him to have psychological fluctuations.It's so incredible.

"Alright, next challenger."

Ikki waved to Riolu and said, "It's my turn, wait for my good news!"

"Little Fist Stone has consumed too much energy just now, so I will just let my strongest elf appear. If you can beat me, I can also give you the badge, how about it?"

"Well, I have no objection. Besides, fighting against strong people can also give me and my friends experience. Please give me some advice!"

Hearing Yihui's words, Xiaogang couldn't help but smile.

"Partner? I wish you good luck! Come out, Big Rock Snake!"

The elf ball shot out a red light, and a large rock snake immediately appeared in the center of the field.This was carefully cultivated by Xiaogang. It was significantly larger than the ordinary ones. Its huge body blocked the light, leaving a long shadow.

"[Big Rock Snake, a rock elf, will cause earthquakes when digging earth and rocks underground at a speed of [-] kilometers per hour]"

"Is it a big rock snake? It looks very difficult to deal with." Looking at the information reflected in the illustrated book in his hand, Ikki thought about the response plan, "Then... let you appear! Go, Lulili!"

Lu Lili came to the field and yawned loudly, which was obviously the result of not having a good rest.

"Oh, it's Lu Lili. It's a good choice. It seems that you should be an opponent worth fighting."

"Then let's get started! Lulili! Strike first and use your best tactics!"

"Big Rock Snake, use impact, don't give Lulili a chance!"

The big rock snake leaned down, gathered some strength and hit Lulili with the sound of wind, but unfortunately, it was still a step too late.

"Li~"

A thick fog quickly enveloped the venue, making it impossible to see clearly either the terrain or Lulili.

"No! Big rock snake, get into the ground quickly!"

With such a good attack opportunity, how could Ikki miss it like this? He immediately ordered: "Use bubble light!"

The body of the big rock snake is so huge that it is impossible to go underground instantly. The body exposed above the ground has been continuously damaged by the foam light.

"Roar!"

& nb

sp; Because water-type skills will cause a lot of damage to rocks, the big rock snake was beaten out of the ground, twisting its body in pain.

"Big Rock Snake!"

"Lulili, keep using the foam light!"

No matter how smart Xiaogang is, he has never seen anyone use moves like this. He can't even find his opponent. How can the game continue?

"Hold on, Big Rock Snake! You will definitely find Lulili!"

Although he said this, Xiaogang still had no idea of ​​how to solve it.

"That's it! Lulili, we will win soon, and we will give you delicious food tonight!"

"Rei~!!"

After hearing that she could eat delicious food, Lulili, who didn't know where she was, screamed happily and worked harder to shoot foam rays at the big rock snake.

At this moment, Ikki felt that his body was a lot heavier. When he looked down, he was immediately startled.

"Hey! Who are you! What are you doing!"

At this time, Ikki's body was covered with children, some dragging their legs, and some holding his arms tightly.

"You are not allowed to bully the big rock snake that my brother fortunately worked so hard to cultivate!"

Xiaogang heard the noise, looked around the thick fog, and frowned when he saw such a scene.

"Stop it, this is a gym challenge, don't cause trouble!"

Xiaogang immediately retrieved the big rock snake, ran towards Ikki quickly, and tore his brothers and sisters off Ikki's body one by one.

"Didn't I tell you not to come and cause trouble?" Xiaogang was a little angry, but he also knew that they were doing it for his own good.

"But my brother's big rock snake was bullied!"

"That's it!"

Now it was Ikki's turn to be at a loss.

"Um...will the game continue?"

Ikki asked softly.Xiaozhi and Pikachu, who felt disappointed because of their failure, noticed the situation and hurriedly came to help.

"No need to continue, you won. I will keep my promise and give you the badge, but please let me send my brothers and sisters back first, okay?"

"These are your younger brothers and sisters! I didn't expect you, Xiaogang, to have so many younger brothers and sisters. You must be very happy!"

Xiaogang didn't answer, and silently walked towards the back door with his younger brothers and sisters.

"Xiao Zhi, please stop saying a few words. I think we should go back first. You will definitely not be able to continue the challenge today, and Xiao Gang also needs to rest. I think you should think about how to win."

"Oh... um."

Xiaozhi was very dissatisfied with his performance. He kept recalling what Xiaogang told him in his mind, hoping to find something.

————————————————————

Although Xiaozhi was asked to leave first, Ikki had no intention of leaving so early.He ran up to Riolu and said with a smile on his face: "I succeeded! My first gym challenge was successful! I hope it will continue to go smoothly in the future."

Riolu nodded undeniably.

[Congratulations, but don’t get carried away with your happiness. You and Lulili did this together, and part of the credit goes to Lulili]

Lulili lay on Ikki's head and screamed happily when she heard Riolu praising her.

"Ikki! Come here!"

Wu Neng's voice suddenly sounded in the empty hall.

"Uncle Wu Neng! Why are you here?"

Wu Neng seemed to deliberately not answer Ikki's question. He randomly found a topic to talk about, and then revealed his purpose.

"Come and have a battle with me. You won't refuse, right? It's just because I'm curious about your elf, uncle. There's absolutely no other meaning. Don't overthink it."

How could Riolu not know who this martial artist was, but his appearance here was a bit unexpected for him.Could it be that the appearance of him and Ikki changed the plot?

"Okay, but why does Uncle Wu Neng suddenly want to fight me? Didn't you say I couldn't do it before?"

"Ahem, I never thought you would have such a smart elf. Don't worry about that! Let's fight against me!"

Since the gym match has been won, there should be no impact in continuing the battle, so just agree to it.

"Come on then, please give me some advice!" Ikki came to the edge of the field, ready to send Lulili on to the field at any time.

"Wait a minute!" Wu Neng suddenly interrupted Ikki, "I will send the strongest elf as your opponent, so I hope you can also bring out your strongest elf."

'My strongest elf? '

Ikki was stunned for a moment, noticing Wu Neng's burning eyes hidden under his sunglasses. He suddenly understood and turned to look at Riolu with a wry smile.

"If I want my strongest elf to play, you have to ask him if he is willing."

Ikki stretched out his hand and Wu Neng could only sigh.

After all, it often happens that elves don't listen to their trainers because their level is too high, and there's nothing that can be done about it.What's more, Wu Neng only wants to confirm one thing now.

"Please fight me!"

Wu Neng took a few steps forward and actually used the word "please".

Riolu wasn't such a hard-to-talk person, besides, Ikki had also finished the gym competition, and his martial strength was pretty good, so it was just a good time to test his strength.

"Do you agree? Then please give me more advice!"

Wu Neng's eyebrows moved under his sunglasses, and he felt an indescribable nervousness in his heart.
