Chapter 11: Kanaz City, Rock Gym! (Gym Tournament, the best training method)

After traveling all the way, Heimer and Boomstick finally arrived at the city of Kanaz. This place was obviously different from the towns they had passed through before. Compared with the previous towns, the city of Kanaz looked very luxurious.

There are all kinds of food shops, clothing shops, and even shops selling Pokémon-related props.

But precisely because of the prosperity, unsurprisingly, Heimer and his friends couldn't find the way again.

So just when Heimer was about to take out his pocket pilot to check the registration office for the gorgeous competition, the wood gecko tugged at his clothes and pointed into the distance.

Wood Shoko: "Chamochamo."

Chi Haimo: "Ah? What's wrong?"

Following the direction pointed by the wood gecko, Heimer saw a very popular ice cream shop. Ice creams of various colors were shining in the freezer, as if they were spirits saying to Heimer and the others, come and eat me.

Heimer wiped the saliva and said while pulling the wood gecko.

Chi Haimo: "No, now is not the time to do this."

As Heimer said this, he wanted to pull the Gecko to the registration office for the gorgeous competition, but the Gecko seemed to be stuck to the floor and didn't move.

Wood Shoko: "Chamochamo!"

Chi Haimo: "There's really no other way. Then, let's use rock-paper-scissors to decide the winner! If you win, we'll go eat ice cream first. If I win, we'll go register for the gorgeous competition first!"

The Broomstick seemed to have accepted Heimer's challenge. He hid his hands behind his back and showed an air of victory.

Chi Haimo: "Rock, Scissors, Paper!"

As soon as Heimer finished speaking, the two men immediately took out their hands hidden behind their backs, and the result of the game was revealed at this time.

Heimer actually lost!

Chi Haimo: "Ah! Damn it, I actually lost to you who only has three fingers!"

Seeing that he won the game, the Bumblebee looked at Heimer very proudly, and then pointed to the ice cream shop happily.

Chi Haimo: "Alas, there is really no other way, I can only eat one."

The line at this ice cream shop is very long. The name of the shop is written in ice-blue fonts, as if it were written in ice cubes, which makes people feel very refreshing in summer.

Although the line was long, Heimer and his friends got to their seats after waiting for a while.

When it was their turn, Heimer discovered that there was only one clerk and one Gardevoir working in the ice cream shop. The clerk was a very heroic girl.

Shop assistant: "Welcome, what flavor of ice cream would you like?"

Chi Haimo: "I want a chocolate, a vanilla, and, um, yes, green caterpillar, poisonous rose, what flavor do you want to eat."

The green caterpillar climbed onto Heimer's shoulder and said that he liked yellow, so he asked for banana flavor. But the poisonous rose said that it didn't matter, anything was fine.

Chi Haimo: "Then add another vanilla and a banana, thank you."

Shop assistant: "Okay, Gardevoir, please."

Gardevoir was wearing ice cream shop clothes and used mental interference to manipulate the ice cream scoop, delivering the ice cream to our hands like magic.

Chi Haimo: "Wow, Gardevoir, this is the first time I see it. Elegant figure, simple white dress, so beautiful."

Shop assistant: "Thank you for the compliment. This child is a very important partner of mine."

Gardevoir: "Gardevoir."

After Heimer took out the illustrated book and scanned it, Gardevoir's information was instantly displayed.

Gardevoir, the tolerant Pokémon, is the evolved form of Kirliam. It possesses powerful psychic powers and will use them to the extreme to protect its beloved trainer.

Chi Haimo: "Well, if you go to the gorgeous competition, your Gardevoir will definitely attract everyone's attention."

Shop assistant: “Hahahaha, thank you.”

After paying the money, Heimer and Boomstick leisurely ate their ice cream while following the instructions on the map and went to the registration office for the gorgeous competition.

After walking through several streets, they finally arrived at the registration office of the Kanaz City Gorgeous Competition. Soon, the staff helped them complete the registration.

Just as they were about to go to the Pokémon Center, a loud explosion suddenly came from somewhere. After hearing the sound, Heimer and Bimbisara immediately ran outside to check the situation.

Chi Haimo: "The explosion came from that street, let's go!"

When Heimer and Bulbasaur rushed to the source of the explosion, they discovered that the source of such a loud noise was none other than the gym in Kanaz City!

Heimer asked immediately upon seeing the gym staff.

Chi Haimo: "What happened? Such a loud explosion!"

Staff: "Oh, nothing. There's a gym match going on in the gym. Some explosions are normal."

(I see. But with such a big commotion, the Pokémon fighting must be very high level.)

Seeing that nothing was wrong, Heimer was about to leave when the gym leader Du Juan walked out of the door.

There was a boy coming out with the owner Du Juan. Apparently, he was the challenger.

(By the way, if you want to do Pokémon-related training, the best way is to challenge the gym competition. Anyway, I have registered for it before.)

Du Juan saw Hai Mo standing at the door of the gym, so she spoke to him gently.

Du Juan: "Are you here to challenge me?"

(Yes, my name is Chi Haimo. Just call me Haimo. Please advise me.)

Du Juan: "My name is Du Juan, so come with me."

After finishing speaking, Heimer followed Du Juan to the battle field of the Kanaz Gym. As expected, the battle field of the gym was a rock battle field.

(I remember that in the anime, Du Juan's Pokémon were Geodude and Beibi, and the only Pokémon that Xiaozhi had a skill that could restrain was Pikachu's Iron Tail.)

Just like in the animation, Du Juan also took out a camera to record this time.

Du Juan: "Heimer, do you mind if I use a camera to record the competition?"

Chi Haimo: "That's no problem, go ahead and shoot it."

Du Juan: "Thank you. I believe this match will be a good teaching material. Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I am not only a gym trainer, but also a teacher at the trainer training academy. For trainers, videos of Pokémon battles are the best teaching material."

Chi Haimo: "I see, but it is indeed the case."

Du Juan's assistant served as the referee of the competition. After Heimer and Du Juan stood on both sides of the fighting field, the referee announced the rules of the competition.

Referee: "From now on, the gym match between gym trainer Du Juan and challenger Chi Haimo from Weibai Town will begin. The rules are an elimination match using two Pokémon. Only the challenger can replace the Pokémon used."

Du Juan: "Then come out, Geodude."

In a flash of white light, Geodude jumped out of the Poké Ball.

(As expected, the second one should be Chao Beibi. In that case, I will send the first one.)

Chi Haimo: "Make a handsome appearance! Wood Ghoul!"

Bimbisara jumped out handsomely in the white light of Pokémon, and exuded the same domineering aura as in the previous gorgeous competition.

Referee: "The game begins!"

Chi Haimo: "In the beginning, we still have to use long-range attacks to decide the outcome. Wood Gecko, Seed Machine Gun!"

After receiving the order, Carina Lauge immediately took a stance and fired a dense stream of seed machine guns at Geodude.

Du Juan: "Fistful of Rocks, use a rolling attack to deflect the Seed Machine Gun!"

After receiving Du Juan's command, Geodude spun its body at high speed and bounced off all the seeds shot by Carina Lau. Not only that, the seeds turned into powder the moment they were bounced off by Geodude!

(Such amazing hardness, the seeds shot out at high speed did not cause any damage to Geodude, but instead shattered due to Geodude's own hardness!)

Du Juan: "Heimer, the move you chose is not very good. Although Seed Gun is a grass-type skill, Geodude's defense is enough to resist most physical attacks."

Chi Haimo: "It seems that we can't win in a head-on battle. In this case, Bokushou, reduce your strength and use the seed machine gun."

Carina Lauge used the Seed Machine Gun on Geodude again, but the speed of the seeds was obviously much slower than the seeds just shot.

Du Juan: "Fist of Fool, use the rolling attack again!"

Geodude immediately spun around and used a rolling motion to once again bounce the seeds from the machine gun away. However, this time, although the seeds were bounced away, they did not break into powder.

Chi Haimo: "Wood Gecko, don't stop, keep up the power and continue to use the seed machine gun!"

Carina continued to maintain its posture and used the Seed Machine Gun on Geodude.

Du Juan: "You want to fight a war of attrition? I won't let you have your way. Geodude, use rolling attacks on the Gecko!"

Chi Haimo: "Wood Gecko, keep the Seed Machine Gun posture, use the Seed Machine Gun while using Lightning Flash!"

While aiming the Seed Gun at Geodude, Kisaragi used Lightning Flash to run around Geodude.

Geodude continued to use rolling attacks to deflect the seed machine gun, and the emerald green seed shells soon covered the entire battlefield.

Because the wood gecko has just learned the Flash not long ago, it cannot use the Flash for too long.

So after Carleton stopped using Lightning Flash, Geodude's rolling attack successfully hit Carleton, and the continuous rolling attack caused Carleton to fall directly to the ground.

Du Juan: "Looks like we have to decide the winner. Fist Rock, Megaton Punch!"

Geodude suddenly jumped up, released dazzling light from his hands, and immediately swung towards Carina Lau.

Chi Haimo: "Now, Wood Ghoul, use the seed machine gun on the seeds scattered on the ground!"

The wood gecko used up the last of its strength and used a seed machine gun on the seeds on the ground. The seeds ricocheted towards each other, and the entire battlefield was like a seed disco scene.

And Geodude was hit by these bouncing seeds and suffered serious damage.

Chi Haimo: “Great!”

Referee: "Bozo is no longer able to fight, Geodude wins!"

Chi Haimo: "What!"

After a closer look, I found that the seeds that were bouncing all over the ground not only attacked Geodude, but also Carnotaurus.

Looking at the one-on-two situation in front of him, Heimer was not afraid or panicked, but rather very calm.

After the referee announced the result of the game, he immediately took out the second Pokémon.

Chi Haimo: "Please!"

He threw the Pokéball, and with a flash of white light, Heimer's second Pokémon appeared, shocking everyone.
