Pokémon: Yunxiao

Although it was a pity that they could not challenge Articuno on that day, Dara still treated everyone warmly and invited everyone to watch the moon and have a barbecue in his huge courtyard.

Everyone spent a wonderful night in a joyful atmosphere. The next day, after Articuno recovered, Yun Xiao immediately asked for a battle, and Dara gladly accepted.

"Yunxiao, Xiaozhi gave me a wonderful duel yesterday. I wonder what kind of battle I will have with you today?"

Dara was standing on the other side of the competition field, and Articuno was standing in front of him. Both he and his pet were looking forward to fighting with Yun Xiao.

……

In the audience seats, Xiaozhi and his three friends were sitting with Yashida, all looking forward to what kind of sparks would fly between the two.

"Articuno's strength is at the King level, right? I wonder which Pokémon Yun Xiao will send out to fight?"

Xiaosheng's eyes were full of anticipation. He had gained a lot from the duel with Xiaozhi yesterday. Today, when it came to Yunxiao's game, he even took out his notebook and sent out his elite Electabuzz to observe and learn.

"It should be Sidoran, right? After all, it has the same attributes as Articuno, and they are both at the King level."

Xiaoyao, who knew Yun Xiao better, guessed what Yun Xiao was thinking after a little thought.

"Oh? It's actually Xiduolan. It looks like it will be an exciting duel."

Yashida's eyes lit up, and he was full of anticipation for the showdown between Yun Xiao and Dara.

……

"Xiduolan, this battle is left to you."

As Xiaoyao expected, Yunxiao sent out Sidoran. Articuno sensed the powerful fire energy of its opponent and flew into the air cautiously, ready for battle.

"The legendary Pokémon Sildran? It looks like it will be a difficult match."

Dara did not look down on Yun Xiao just because he was young. When facing Xiduolan, there was a hint of solemnity in his eyes.

……

On the other side, at Tokiwa Airport, Qin Lan, who went to Chengdu to capture Pokémon, finally returned to the Kanto region.

"How is the task assigned to you going?"

After getting off the plane, Qin Lan looked at the captain of the Rocket Team next to her.

"Yes, after a few days of observation, we have indeed discovered the existence of Articuno at the battle factory."

The squadron leader saluted respectfully towards Qin Lan. After all, this person was the junior that Athena valued the most.

"Where's Mo Han?"

Athena was not there, so in order to capture the Articuno, Qin Lan directly called over Mo Han, who was at the peak of the gym master level, from Sakaki.

"Uh… He said he saw a powerful Steel-type Pokémon nearby and told us to have fun on our own. He can come over when we need him."

The squadron leader said with embarrassment, after all, his strength was not as strong as others, so he couldn't stay even if he wanted to!

"That guy is still so arbitrary! Go and tell him to come here immediately. There is no chance of failure in capturing Articuno!"

Qin Lan gnashed her teeth and said, "Can't this guy respect me? After all, I am still a nominal senior executive!"

"Yes!"

The squadron leader bowed and immediately led his team to run in the direction Mo Han left.

"After I capture this Articuno, I will be able to fight that guy."

Qin Lan's face was gloomy, and the figure of Yun Xiao appeared in his mind. At this moment, he regarded Yun Xiao as his biggest opponent. In his opinion, if he was the villain here, then Yun Xiao must be used to target him.

He walked slowly out of the airport, followed by two Pokémon. One was Zeraora, which had been promoted to gym leader level, and the other was Zalud, also known as the evil ape Pokémon, which was also a mythical Pokémon like Zeraora.

The level of this Salud is also at the gym leader level. The two gym leader-level Pokémon together exude a powerful aura that makes other people in the airport dare not approach.

After walking out of the airport, Qin Lan got directly into the Rockets' private car and headed to the battle factory.

……

On the other side, Yun Xiao and Dara's battle was in full swing. Sidolan used a jet of fire towards the Articuno in the air.

Articuno flew nimbly in the air and easily dodged the jet of flames, while not forgetting to use a freezing ray on Theodore.

"The flying type Articuno still has some advantages over the ground-based Sidoran. Although the fire type restrains the ice type, Articuno is useless if it can't hit the opponent while flying in the air."

Xiaogang carefully analyzed the situation on the field. At this moment, Sidolan was at a disadvantage. As a flying bird, Articuno flexibly dodged Sidolan's jet of flames, and with its high altitude advantage, it did not forget to attack Sidolan.

There are already a lot of ice crystals left on Sidoran's body, which are all traces left by Articuno's attack.

"Really? What is Yun Xiao doing? Wouldn't it be better to just knock Articuno down with one blow and then knock him down with a bang?"

At this moment, Xiaozhi was a little anxious. If Yunxiao didn't defeat Articuno, then Yunxiao would be the one who lost the game.

"Don't be anxious, Xiaozhi. Look at Yunxiao's expression. He hasn't given up yet. I think he must have some countermeasures."

Xiaoyao pointed at Yun Xiao who was fighting on the field. At the moment, he was smiling and did not feel nervous at all as if he was being suppressed.

"Look!"

At this moment, Xiaosheng, who was concentrating on watching the game, quickly pointed to the field and saw that Sidoran's jet of flame accurately hit Articuno, and Articuno fell directly after being hit by the jet of flame.

"This? Why!"

Dara also seemed incredible. It was obvious that Articuno could easily dodge Theodore's special move just now, but just now Articuno seemed very clumsy.

"Woo~"

Articuno flapped its wings and then flew into the sky again, drops of water falling to the ground.

"water?"

Looking at the water falling from Articuno, Dara's eyes were filled with shock. When did Articuno's feathers get wet?

"Hydraun is a Pokémon that lives in magma. Its flames are very hot, and Articuno happens to be an ice-type Pokémon. Ice melts into water when it meets fire. Although the jet of flames cannot hit Articuno, the ice crystals left by Articuno when it flies many times will naturally accumulate on its feathers when melted by the jet of flames."

Yun Xiao explained that the ice melted into water, and then the water dripped onto Articuno's wings, causing the low temperature of Articuno itself to melt into ice. In this way, a certain amount of water naturally accumulated on Articuno's wings.

Although it won't cause Articuno to lose its ability to fly, as long as its speed slows down for a moment, then Sidoran's chance will come!

"I see. That's a clever move. Articuno uses the freezing ray."

Dara praised, but the game was still going on and he didn't intend to hand over the victory so easily, so he immediately ordered Articuno to launch an attack.

"Theodoran uses Lava Storm!"

Yun Xiao also used Sidoran's ultimate move at this time. The lava storm swallowed up Articuno's freezing ray with powerful force. Articuno hurriedly flapped its wings to avoid it, but it had already missed the best time to dodge. The lava storm hit Articuno's wings fiercely, and Articuno was seriously injured and fell directly to the ground.

"That's it. I give up."

Articuno, with an injured wing, was obviously no match for Sidolan. Dara decisively gave up the game, and Yun Xiao successfully won his first victory against the frontier.
