Pokémon: Yunxiao

After a short episode, Dr. Odamaki brought everyone back to the research institute. Everyone was relieved when they learned that Pikachu was fine.

After a short rest, Pikachu regained its energy. After learning that Xiaoyao was going to choose the initial Pokémon, Xiaozhi also came over with excitement.

"So, are you ready, Xiaoyao? The first one is the wood gecko."

Professor Odamaki threw a Poké Ball, and a green lizard appeared in front of everyone.

"Chamo~"

After coming out, the wood gecko glanced at Xiaoyao and called out.

"It's staring at me. It's staring at me. Its eyes are so fierce!"

Xiaoyao hid behind Yunxiao in fear.

"Really? I think it's fine. Is it water-based?"

Xiaozhi squatted down and observed the wood gecko and curiously asked Professor Odamaki beside him.

"It's a grass-type. I really want it. Sister, let's choose the Gecko, okay?"

Xiaosheng looked at Boseok with excitement. Compared with the other two Pokémon, he liked this Boseok more.

"It looks so fierce, let's take a look at the next one."

Xiaoyao, however, was sweating and laughing as she asked Professor Odamaki to release the next Pokémon.

"Boshigome, it does look good."

Yun Xiao also looked at the Woodpecker in front of him with interest. As one of the starter Pokémon chosen by the Fengyuan region as the starting Pokémon for rookie trainers, it did have considerable strength.

"This is the next one, come out, Water Jumper."

Odamaki threw out the next Pokémon, and its cute appearance attracted some of Xiaoyao's attention.

"Oh, it's a blue water-leaping fish. It should be a water-type this time, right?"

Xiaozhi looked at the water-leaping fish and raised his own questions.

"Yes, it's a water type. It seems you like Pokémon very much, Ash."

Dr. Odamaki nodded and looked at Xiaozhi with a little appreciation.

"Yes, my goal is to become a Pokémon Master."

Xiaozhi did not hide his goal.

"Ah, I remember now, you are the one who participated in the Silver Conference before, right?"

Suddenly remembering something, Xiaosheng shouted and pointed his finger at Xiaozhi.

"Uh-huh!"

Xiaozhi was also excited when he was recognized by others and looked at Xiaosheng, waiting for him to tell his name.

"You are the one who was eliminated by our region's contestant Ye Yue's Flame Chicken in the second round, right? I remember your name is... Awu!"

When Xiaozhi heard Xiaosheng's name, he fell down. Who is Awu?

"Didn't Dr. Odamaki just say that? My name is Xiaozhi, Xiaozhi!"

Xiaozhi protested to Xiaosheng with a complaining look on his face.

"You are going to participate in our Fengyuan Tournament, right? But with your defeat in the second round, you may not get any good results in this tournament, Wu."

Xiaosheng raised his eyebrows, looking pessimistic about Xiaozhi.

"My name is Xiaozhi, and I'm playing in the final tournament. Do you know how strong the opponents in the final tournament are?"

Although Xiaozhi was hit hard by Xiaosheng, he still talked about how strong his opponent in the decisive tournament was.

"I watched that scene, and it was so tense. Charizard fell down first due to the severe injuries in the final fight with Flame Chicken. It was such a pity."

Xiaosheng was obviously in high spirits, and he was a little excited when he talked about that battle.

"Hey, can you let Xiaoyao choose the Pokémon first?"

Looking at the two people who were still about to continue talking, and then looking at Xiaoyao who was hesitant to speak, Yun Xiao reluctantly stopped the two people from talking. The two people immediately stopped communicating and looked back at Xiaoyao.

"How about it, is the water-leaping fish okay?"

Dr. Odamaki also asked for Xiaoyao's opinion.

"Well, it's a water-jumping fish."

Xiaoyao squatted down and carefully watched the fish jumping into the water. It looked very cute.

"Gala~"

After taking a look at Xiaoyao, Shuiyueyu shot a water gun at Xiaoyao's face.

"Woo~ It used a water gun on me, let's just watch the next one."

Xiaoyao wiped the water stains off her face and chose to pass by the leaping fish in front of her.

"The last one is this, the turkey chick."

Professor Odamaki did not refuse and directly threw the last Poké Ball, and a lively Tortoise appeared in front of everyone.

"Chachacha~"

After the Fire Chicken appeared, it twisted its body and rubbed Xiaoyao's thigh affectionately.

"A fire chicken with the Fiery Ability?"

The appearance of the Fire Chicken attracted Yun Xiao's attention for a moment, but when he saw that it had the Fierce Fire attribute, he withdrew his gaze. He also had some interest in the Fire Chicken, but he was interested in the Fire Chicken with the acceleration attribute.

But as expected, Xiaoyao chose this Fire Chicken as her initial partner. After Xiaoyao chose her initial partner, Xiaozhi also invited Yunxiao to a battle.

"You want to fight me?"

Yun Xiao looked at Xiaozhi in surprise and asked, "You want to use your intermediate-level Pikachu to beat me, an entry-level Magikarp?"

"That's right. Isn't it the job of trainers to spar with each other and improve their own strength?"

Xiaozhi seemed eager to try. It was obvious that he had just been hit hard by Xiaosheng and wanted to prove himself by fighting with Yunxiao.

"Yunxiao, just agree to Xiaozhi's request! I really want to watch the Pokémon battle!"

Xiaosheng also encouraged him, which made Yun Xiao very conflicted. Not to mention that Pikachu's level was much higher than his own, just Xiaozhi's experience in participating in major competitions was not something a beginner like him could compare to, right?

"Well, okay, let's have a 1v1 to decide the winner."

Seeing Xiaosheng's expectant look, Yun Xiao also sighed and accepted Xiaozhi's invitation to fight.

"Great!"

Xiaosheng jumped up happily and came to the open field under the guidance of Dr. Odamaki. They both stood on both sides of the playing field.

"what?"

After releasing the mosquito coil tadpoles, Yun Xiao saw that the level of Pikachu sent by Xiaozhi had actually changed from intermediate to entry level. Yun Xiao rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and was a little confused to find that Pikachu's level was actually at the entry level.

What kind of Pikachu is this?

"Is the opponent really that mosquito tadpole? Okay, Pikachu, use 100,000 volts."

"Pika~chu!"

Xiaozhi took the lead in launching an attack. A powerful beam of 100,000 volts quickly gathered and fiercely attacked the mosquito tadpole.

"Avoid it, then use Mud Shot!"

Regardless of Pikachu's floating level, even for an entry-level Pikachu, the 100,000 volts is not something a water-type mosquito-repellent can withstand.

The skills of the mosquito coil tadpole include water gun, hypnosis, slapping, mud shooting, and bubble ray.

Using ground-based mud shooting can effectively hit Pikachu.

The mosquito coil tadpole narrowly avoided the 100,000-volt attack with its nimble jumps, and instead spit out mud and shot towards Pikachu.

"Pikachu, let's use Thunderbolt."

"Pikapi~"

Pikachu dodged the attack of the mud shot with a series of nimble jumps, and then quickly rushed towards the mosquito tadpole.

“Yes, yes~”

The mosquito coil tadpole was hit by Pikachu's lightning and flew backwards, but took advantage of Pikachu's close range to use a mud shot on Pikachu, and the mud shot hit Pikachu.

"This is so cool, is this a Pokémon showdown?"

Xiaoyao was filled with admiration as he watched the Pokémon battle on the field.

"As expected of a contestant who entered the Silver Conference, he is so strong!"

Xiaosheng was also excited when watching. No matter whether it was Xiaozhi's attack or Yunxiao's counterattack, Xiaosheng was full of blood. It turned out that watching Pokémon battles up close was different from watching them on TV.

"Mosquito tadpole, are you okay? We're using a water gun this time!"

“Yes, yes~”

After the mosquito-repellent tadpole shook its head to indicate that it was fine, it spurted a stream of water from its mouth towards Pikachu.

"Pikachu, we have to work harder too, use Thunder!"

Xiaozhi also ignited his fighting spirit and made Pikachu use his most powerful move.

Powerful lightning gathered on Pikachu's body and slammed into Mosquito's water gun. The thunder instantly shattered the water gun, and the remaining force directly covered Mosquito's body, causing the Mosquito to lose its ability to fight under the thunder.

"Phew, I lost."

Yun Xiao took back the mosquito coil tadpole helplessly. It turned out that he was still too much of a pushover when facing the opponents from the Silver Conference.

"Your mosquito coil tadpoles are very good."

Xiaozhi walked up and shook hands with Yun Xiao. Dr. Odamaki nodded with satisfaction and looked at the two people on the field.

I am really looking forward to what you will become in the future.

Afterwards, everyone chose to say goodbye to Dr. Odamaki, and Yun Xiao and the other two and Xiaozhi came to a fork in the road.

"I'm going to go to the Pokémon Center in Guchen Town to check if Pikachu has any remaining injuries. What about you guys?"

Xiaozhi, carrying Pikachu on his shoulder, looked at Yun Xiao and the other two. If it was convenient, they could travel together.

"We plan to go to Kanaz City, so we will go directly into the Orange Forest."

Yun Xiao also told them his destination. After all, they didn’t need to go back to Chenghua City for the time being.

"Then we have to part ways for now. We'll have to fight again next time!"

Xiaozhi said with some regret.

"Of course, I won't lose again next time."

The two smiled at each other, and then Yun Xiao and the other two parted ways with Xiao Zhi at the fork in the road.
