Chapter 144
"Gala, gala, use the bone stick to beat me!""
""Pikachu, use Iron Tail!"
After leaving the Mysterious Garden, Chi accompanied Xiaozhi and the trio on their journey to the Red Lotus Gym again. In order to check whether Xiaozhi and Pikachu had been lazy during this period, Chi decided to send out Gara Gara to hone Pikachu's strength. The thick bone stick collided with the silver tail at the same time. Gara Gara confronted Pikachu's tail with one hand, and both sides were trying to suppress each other.
But the bone stick hit more than once. Gara Gara took the initiative to distance himself from Pikachu, and swung the bone stick with both hands together. The force directly crushed Pikachu and smashed Pikachu's tail to the ground.
The pain instantly filled Pikachu's brain. Before Pikachu could scream, Gara Gara's swung bone stick hit Pikachu's body again, beating Pikachu four times.
"I didn’t expect that Gala Gala alone would be enough to suppress Xiaozhi’s Pikachu. I couldn’t even imagine how powerful Xiaochi’s initial team of six elves were.��Xiaogang was incredulous. As a traveling companion, Xiaogang was naturally aware of Pikachu's strength. He didn't expect that he would be crushed so easily by Galagala today.
"Isn't it partly due to the attribute?" Xiaoxia asked,"If it weren't for Gara Gara being able to conduct Pikachu's electricity into the ground, maybe Pikachu wouldn't be so embarrassed."
"There are indeed reasons for this, but the excellence of Gala Gala cannot be ignored."Xiao Gang agreed.
""It's over, Gara Gara." Xiao Chi frowned and said with a somewhat unhappy tone.
Gara Gara's right hand muscle swelled up, and the bone stick in his hand was about to hit Pikachu's face.
""You can't give up, Pikachu!" Xiaozhi shouted.
Perhaps because of Xiaozhi's encouragement, Pikachu struggled to stand up and used high-speed movement, cleverly avoiding the attack of the gala gala. The original ground was heavily smashed by the bone stick, leaving a spider web-like deep pit, which made people tremble all over.
Pikachu, who avoided the attack, used Iron Tail and hit the body of the gala gala head-on, causing considerable damage.
This scene was barely recognized by Xiao Chi and gala gala, and the two Pokémon ended the training battle.
"Just barely passed the level. Remember to train Pikachu's melee combat ability more."Xiao Chi said calmly
"Got it, bro."
Seeing that Xiao Chi was no longer angry, Xiao Zhi approached Xiao Chi with a playful smile, and begged Xiao Chi to stop frowning.
"Xiaozhi became so childish in front of Xiaochi."Xiao Gang joked
"After all, they are brothers."Xiaoxia said with a smile.
After the training, Galagala also shook hands with Pikachu. Fortunately, Pikachu has long been accustomed to training with Xiaochi's Pokémon. After all, the Pidgeot and Scyther left a deep impression on Pikachu.
""Crack! Crack!"
A sound suddenly came from the bushes not far away. The cautious Galagala immediately threw the bone stick in his hand and smashed it towards the bushes.
"Snapped!"
A crisp sound came from the grass. After Gala Gala and Pikachu looked at each other, they rushed into the grass at the same time and pulled out the guy hiding in the dark.
"It turns out to be a Pokémon photographer."
Seeing the boy desperately protecting the camera in his arms, Xiao Chi also understood the boy's identity.
The boy's name is Archer, and he is a photographer who loves to take pictures of natural scenery and Pokémon, so as to take pictures of Pokémon with the most natural expressions.
Archer came to the Grand Canyon some time ago and accidentally photographed the sky duel between a Charizard and a fossil pterosaur, and published it in the newspaper and magazine Pokémon Friends, becoming a famous talented photographer.
"Not sure……"X4
Xiaochi and four others said at the same time. The feeling of gap instantly made Archer fall to the ground in embarrassment.
"But I know you, Mr. Xiao Chi!"
Archer stood up and looked at Xiao Chi with admiration. Just as he was about to shake hands with Xiao Chi, he was stopped by Galagala who stretched out a bone stick, signaling Archer not to get too close.
"Ahem, I once saw a photo of you commanding Pokémon to defeat a giant stinging jellyfish on Pokémon Friends. This incident is still talked about by people. I didn’t expect to meet you here. It’s like me. lucky!"
Xiao Chi and the other four seemed to be able to see twinkling stars in Archer's eyes, but they couldn't resist the excitement of Archer. Xiao Chi and Gala Gala reluctantly took a photo with Archer, but Gala Gala had a look on their face. He rolled his eyes speechlessly, obviously not giving Archer any face, but Archer thought that Gala Gala's disdain was a natural expression, so he happily recorded it.
Longdu is Xiaochi's Pokémon, otherwise he would have to spend time worrying about the explanation.
In order to express his apology to Archer who was beaten badly by the bone stick, Xiaochi and the four invited Archer to have lunch together. This scene almost made him sad. Archer had tears in his eyes. After all, as a Pokémon photographer, most of the time, in order to be able to take pictures of the most natural scenes, he would rush to another location without even having a good meal.
"I think Xiaozhi gets the badge every time because of the sympathy of others."
The five of them were sitting on the tablecloth eating sandwiches. Xiaoxia, who was comparing Xiaochi and Xiaozhi back and forth, suddenly said this.
"cough cough——"
Xiaozhi, who was still chewing his sandwich leisurely, was choked by Xiaoxia's comments and quickly slapped his chest.
"Aren't you worried yourself? Maybe your strength is not enough!"Xiaoxia suggested that if Xiaochi hadn't joined temporarily, maybe Xiaoxia would not have said such words to attack Xiaozhi.
But Xiaochi's aura was so shining that Xiaoxia, as a traveling companion, couldn't help but ��Xiao Zhi made a comparison, with a tone that said he hates iron but cannot become steel.
"Calm down, Ash! Seeing that
Xiaozhi was choking, Xiaogang quickly handed over the water glass and asked Xiaozhi to swallow it. Archer behind him also patted Xiaozhi on the back.
"Luck is also one of the strengths."Xiao Zhi said proudly, not feeling embarrassed at all by Xiaoxia's complaints.
"But the only one Ash really defeated was Team Rocket. Xiaoxia joked
"Ah sneeze!"
"What?! Do you need to be so ruthless?!"
Xiao Zhi directly broke through the defense and quickly stood up and took out the Poké Ball from his waist.
"In that case, I'm going to have a Pokémon match with you here now."
Seeing Xiaozhi being so impulsive, Pikachu, as a companion, also went up to persuade Xiaozhi.
"Okay, Xiaozhi, not everything Xiaoxia said is wrong. Don't be so impatient all the time."Xiao Chi opened his mouth to criticize.
"Yes" Xiaozhi replied weakly. After all, it was criticism from his brother, so Xiaozhi had to listen carefully.
""Kacha! Kacha!"
Archer, who was in a trance, immediately took out his camera and took a picture of Pikachu trying to persuade Xiaozhi. This was the natural expression Archer longed for.
"No, I have to prove my strength now!"
Xiaozhi put his face in front of the camera and signaled Archer to listen to him carefully.
"I know, I know. In short, as long as we can measure the strength, it will be fine."Archer said helplessly
"That’s right!"Xiao Zhi nodded and said
"In that case, wouldn't it be better to ask someone to evaluate it?" Archer suggested.
"Ask someone to judge?" Xiaozhi asked doubtfully.
"It’s the Pokémon League Trial Tournament!"Archer said.
(Pokémon Test? Another torturous test...)
Memories came to mind instantly, and Xiao Chi remembered the weird test questions in the Pokémon Test. The one that impressed Xiao Chi the most was Too much: Jigglypuff looking from top to bottom!
At first, Xiao Chi also mistakenly thought it was a thunder ball, but the answer was really shocking to Xiao Chi. Perhaps
Archer's addition was purely to make people think. It worked. In order to take photos of the battle competition, Archer had already found out the location of the Pokémon Test Tournament. Archer also happened to be the tour guide for the trio of Chi and Ash.
