Pokémon that goes with the flow

"Big Tongue, use the water gun!"

[The giant tongue, a double-shell Pokémon, can flexibly use its extended tongue to dig into the sand on the seabed to find food...]

Following Calamus's command, the big-tongued clam spewed out a stream of water and flew towards the mountain rat, but was easily dodged by the latter with a jump.

At this time, Xiao Ming has already started his gym competition. If you want to obtain the blue badge of the Cerulean Gym, you need to defeat two of the three Cerulean sisters.

Not long ago, Xiao Ming had defeated his elder sister Sakura's little sea lion with a pangolin and easily won the victory with a roll. Now it was his second duel.

"Mountain rat, use roll!"

"A~!"

The pangolin curled up again, turned itself into a ball, and while spinning, it hit the giant clam. The latter was knocked away and fell directly into the water. After a while, it turned into circles and floated up.

"cowry......"

"Ah~, lose, lose~."

Seeing that his big-tongued clam lost its ability to fight, Acorus decisively admitted defeat, put the big-tongued clam back into the poke ball and left the battlefield.

Hoshino, who witnessed the whole process from the sidelines, had only one comment on Xiao Ming's battle...it was too simple.

This is not because Hoshino is proud of himself, but rather compared to Uncle Wu Neng's previous gym competition. A pangolin was able to use ground-type moves to defeat two water-type Pokémon in a row with counter-restraint, and it was all solved with one move. Not only that, throughout the whole game, there were basically no injuries on the pangolin.

It feels like a gym trainer just copes with the situation and loses the game with just two casual attacks. It's not at all as careful as a martial arts uncle.

Xiao Ming, who finished the gym competition, also felt no joy at all. He also felt that it was too simple and completely different from the gym competition he imagined.

"Sea~"

[Sea Lion, the sea lion Pokémon, is a Pokémon that lives on icebergs. The colder it is, the more energetic it is...]

Sakura clapped her hands twice, and the little sea lion that had just finished the competition poked its head out of the pool, with two drop-shaped badges on its tongue.

"This is the proof of passing the Cerulean Gym, the blue badge."

She picked up the two badges and handed one to Xiao Ming, but Xiao Ming did not accept the badge and instead questioned Sakura.

"What the hell is going on? This is not a gym competition at all. You are just perfunctory with me! I don't want the badge I got like this!"

Perhaps it was because the long-awaited gym competition was treated perfunctorily, Xiao Ming was inevitably a little angry. Facing the angry Xiao Ming, Sakura waved her hands helplessly.

"There is no way. After all, the three of us sisters spend all our time on how to become beautiful. We don't do much training of Pokémon. This is all our strength."

Looking at Xiao Ming who was still angry, Sakura could only continue to add.

"Besides, isn't this your first time challenging a gym competition? As a first badge, our level is actually barely enough. Even if you go to other gyms, it might be a little more difficult, but it's still similar."

(Hoshino: Ah, yes, yes, yes~...)

Perhaps Sakura's words convinced Xiao Ming, and finally Xiao Ming accepted the blue badge. Afterwards, Sakura handed another badge directly to Hoshino.

"As you can see, I and Calamus's Pokémon have been defeated. Only Peony is left and we can't compete in the gym, so I will just give you this badge. I think you can pass anyway."

"what?"

Hoshino looked at the badge in front of him in disbelief, but the system voice in his mind reminded Hoshino that this was a fact.

【Ding! It has been detected that the mission props have been obtained in advance, and the main mission "Gorgeous Water Flower" is now released: Obtain blue badge 0/1, reward: money +1000,. (Flowers in the water are waiting to bloom)]

【Ding! It has been detected that the mission "Gorgeous Flowers in the Water" has been completed, and the mission rewards are now distributed. 】

It seemed that the system did not expect that Hoshino could obtain the badge directly. The tasks were discovered and completed immediately.

"Uh, okay, thank you..."

Taking the badge in a daze, Hoshino looked at the blue badge in his hand. He didn't get it so easily, but it was pretty good-looking.

"Xiao Xing, please have a Pokémon battle with me!"

"what?!"

While Hoshino was still playing with the badge he had just received, he was startled by Xiao Ming's words and almost lost his grip on the badge.

"This, this is too sudden..."

"Please, I came to the Hualan Gym to test the results of the special training of the Mountain Rat, but now it seems that it has not been tested at all. I want to have a duel between the Mountain Rat and Scorpio, who is a ground type but not afraid of water! "

Looking at Xiao Ming who was staring at him with stern eyes, Hoshino recalled Xiao Yan who was also about to fight him suddenly. However, Xiaoming is better than Xiaoyan. After all, he took out the Pokémon without saying anything...or rather, he already took it out...

Hoshino raised his head and asked Scorpio for his opinion, only to find that Scorpio was wiping his sleepy eyes and nodding in agreement... So Scorpio, did you actually fall asleep on top of me just now? !

"Okay, since Scorpio is willing, then I will have a Pokémon duel with you."

"Great!" Xiao Ming excitedly shook Hoshino's hand again, and then looked at the three beautiful Celestial Sisters, "Master of Sakura Pavilion, please lend me the battle field here..."

"I'll lend it to you, right? It's a shame that you just disliked us and still dared to make demands of us." Mudan pointed at Xiao Ming with a somewhat reproachful tone, but she didn't seem to care about Xiao Ming's attitude towards them just now.

"That's all, let's lend it to you. Anyway, you're not the first person to say that to us. We have no interest in becoming gym trainers, so it doesn't matter."

"That's right, I really don't understand what you trainers are thinking." Acorus held his face with one hand and showed a puzzled expression, "You actually let ground-type Pokémon who are afraid of water fight in a water field. Your Pokémon enters an unfavorable situation."

Then he turned to look at his eldest sister and third sister, frowned, and showed a helpless smile, "Sure enough, we are still suitable to be water ballet dancers to keep ourselves beautiful at all times."

Sakura and Peony on the side also nodded in agreement after hearing Iris's words.

"Anyway, I'll lend you the venue, but we have to finish it quickly. We will start the next performance in a while, and you have to decide the winner before then."
