Chapter 94 Return to Zijin City and fight against the elegant Ice Princess (Fire Chick vs. Ice Ghost
After receiving the ribbon medal from the Luoyan Conference, Heimer immediately decided on his next destination, which was to return to Chenghua City and challenge the hall master Qianli.
After he returned to the Pokémon Center, packed his luggage, and prepared to set out for Violet City.
Chang'an is really a very enthusiastic person. Before leaving, Chang'an gave Hammer a book about making Pokémon food, as well as some Pokémon food he made himself. In addition, he also shared some of his own experiences on caring for the hair and skin of various Pokémon.
For this, Heimer was very grateful. After accepting Chang'an's gift, he gave Chang'an some of his own notes on the combination of moves and the experience of displaying effects. After Chang'an received the notes from Heimer, his heart was filled with gratitude.
Changan: "Heimer, thank you."
Chi Haimo: "It's okay, I hope this can help you."
(Well, anyway, I have memorized the contents of this notebook, so I will give this notebook to Changan.)
Because he wanted to reach Zijin City as soon as possible, Heimer directly called out Gyarados and asked him to take him and fly to Zijin City at the fastest speed.
Perhaps it was because he hoped he could collect all five ribbon medals as soon as possible, or maybe Heimer felt that as long as he collected all five ribbon medals, the day of meeting Xiao Shun would be closer. After the Luoyan Conference ended, Heimer seemed very anxious.
After Gyarados arrived in Violet City, Heimer ignored his own dizziness and jumped directly off Gyarados's back, but ended up falling flat on his face.
Bonnie: "Hey, are you okay?"
Heimer answered quietly while touching his nose which had hit the ground.
Chi Haimo: "It's okay."
Heimer looked up and found that the person talking to him was an elegant and very beautiful girl. The girl was wearing a purple dress, white silk gloves, and her golden hair was beautifully tied up. This look, coupled with her cool and delicate facial features and fair skin, made her look like a real noble princess.
(This outfit looks so familiar. Hmm, but I just can’t remember where it is.)
Bonnie lowered her head and looked carefully at the wound on Heimer's nose, then spoke gently.
Bonnie: "It looks like it's just a little skin break, but it's better to take care of it quickly."
After Heimer stood up, he said in agreement.
Chi Haimo: "Yeah, I think so too. Then I'll take my leave first. Let's go, Gyarados."
(Ah, I don’t know why, this girl has a strong aura, I don’t think she is a small character, I’d better stay away from her as soon as possible.)
After Heimer bought some Band-Aids at the drugstore, he carefully put them on as he walked out of the store.
Chi Haimo: "Gyarados, let's go."
Gyarados: “Roar~”
Heimer took out a small mirror and looked at his face. Looking at the Band-Aid on his nose, he didn't know why he felt like a sports hero.
(Well, I feel like I’m pretty handsome this way, hahaha. Well, no, Hammer, now is not the time to do this.)
Just as Heimer was about to go back to the Pokémon Center to have lunch with everyone, Gyarados smelled the aroma of mixed fried noodles in the Violet City Food Court and immediately stopped at the door of the food court.
Chi Haimo: "Gyarados, what's wrong?"
Gyarados: “Roar~”
After Heimer also smelled the scent of fried noodles, he immediately understood why Gyarados stopped.
(Yes, Gyarados likes to eat delicious food, just like the Forest Lizard.)
Chi Haimo: "No, Gyarados, let's go back to the Pokémon Center. This way, after dinner, we can immediately go to the Pokémon Center's training ground to complete today's practice."
Bonnie: "Oh, we meet again."
Bonnie appeared at the entrance of the food court in Zijin City with her long skirt lifted elegantly. When Heimer saw her, he immediately became cautious.
Bonnie: "Well, you have already taken care of it. I believe your wound will heal soon."
Heimer looked at the woman in front of him who was emitting a cold and gloomy aura, and he couldn't help feeling a little chilled.
(Well, generally speaking, this feeling of déjà vu is not a good thing, so I should hurry back to the Pokémon Center with Gyarados.)
Chi Haimo: "Well, sorry, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. Gyarados, Gyarados?"
Heimer looked from afar and found that Gyarados was drooling at the shop selling fried noodles in the distance.
Bonnie gently inhaled the aroma wafting from the food court, and then spoke gently to Heimer.
Bonnie: "Mm, it smells really good. That fried noodle shop is really delicious. It looks like your Gyarados will like it too. How about we go eat together?"
Heimer was about to refuse, but a woman next to him shouted in surprise after seeing Bonnie.
Woman: "Oh my god, isn't that Bonnie-sama, one of the Four Heavenly Kings?"
(One of the Four Heavenly Kings. Oh, no wonder her outfit looked familiar to me. It turns out she is the Ice King of Hoenn.)
Chi Haimo: "So you are the King of Ice?"
Bonnie: "Oh, I didn't introduce myself. How rude of me."
Chi Haimo: "Ah, no, now that you mention it, I didn't introduce myself either."
Bonnie said as she chuckled softly, covering her mouth lightly.
Bonnie: "Hahaha, let's introduce ourselves to each other now. My name is Bonnie, and I'm one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Hoenn Alliance."
Chi Haimo: "My name is Chi Haimo, just call me Haimo, um, I'm from the Mobai Town Research Institute."
(Well, after all, others have mentioned their workplaces, so I feel it would be a shame if I didn’t say anything. By the way, if we can fight against this ice king, then we should be able to get a good exercise.)
Bonnie: "Ah, it smells so good~ Sorry, I have to leave first."
After Bonnie finished speaking, she ran gracefully to the fried noodles shop in the Violet City Food Court.
Chi Haimo: "Ah, Miss Bonnie, wait for me, Gyarados, let's go."
Gyarados thought that Heimer was going to buy him some fried noodles, so he happily wagged his tail and followed Heimer.
After Heimer, Bonnie and Gyarados arrived at the fried noodles restaurant, Bonnie sat down naturally and said happily.
Bonnie: "Boss, I want a bowl of assorted fried noodles, a super, big bowl."
Boss: "Okay, Miss Bonnie, what about this one?"
Chi Haimo: "Ah, I don't need it..."
As soon as Heimer finished speaking, Gyarados looked at Heimer with tears in his eyes, as if asking Heimer, are you really not going to order a bowl?
Looking at Gyarados' expression, Heimer gently touched it and immediately said to the boss.
Chi Haimo: "Ah, then I'll order one bowl too. I want a large portion too."
Boss: “Okay.”
After the boss skillfully made two large bowls of assorted fried noodles, the aroma in the whole store became even more intense.
(Yeah, it smells really good. But having said that, although this store looks small from the outside, it is actually really big inside.)
After the boss brought the mixed fried noodles, Bonnie picked up the chopsticks gracefully and finished the fried noodles at an extremely fast speed.
(Okay, so fast...)
After the fried noodles were served, Gyarados didn't eat them immediately. Instead, he looked at the bowl of mixed fried noodles in front of him with drooling.
After seeing this, Heimer said gently.
Chi Haimo: "Don't worry, I've packed some for other Pokémon too, so you can eat without worry."
Seeing this, Gyarados immediately started eating the fried noodles. Compared to Bonnie, Gyarados's eating style seemed much more unrestrained.
After seeing how Gyarados was eating, Bonnie said with a happy smile.
Bonnie: "Hahaha, mixed fried noodles are delicious, right? Boss, I want a big bowl too."
Gyarados: “Roar~”
Chi Haimo: "Ms. Bonnie, please fight me."
After the boss brought another bowl of fried noodles, Bonnie said with a gentle smile.
Bonnie: "The fried noodles here are really delicious. Do you want to order a bowl and try it?"
Chi Haimo: "Ah, I don't need it."
Bonnie: "Really? That's a shame."
After Bonnie finished speaking, she continued to eat the fried noodles in her bowl elegantly.
(Well, the current atmosphere feels a bit off, so I'd better order a bowl.)
Chi Haimo: "Well, I'll just have one bowl, boss. A small portion will be fine."
Boss: “Okay.”
When the small bowl of mixed fried noodles was served, the charming aroma whetted Heimer's appetite, and he immediately started eating without caring about his image.
Bonnie said while eating fried noodles and looking at Heimer with a smile.
Bonnie: "Hahaha, it's delicious, right?"
Hearing Bonnie's voice, Heimer realized how indecent his eating habits were just now.
Chi Haimo: "Hold, sorry."
In response to Heimer's apology, Bonnie smiled gently and said.
Bonnie: "Hahaha, it's okay. When you eat delicious food, you should eat it with big mouthfuls."
Chi Haimo: “Ahahahaha.”
(I didn’t expect Miss Bonnie to be so gentle. When I saw her in the game before, I thought she was the type of iceberg beauty.)
After Bonnie finished her fried noodles, she carefully put down her chopsticks and wiped her mouth with a tissue.
Bonnie: "Well, let's do some after-meal exercise, Hammer. I accept your challenge."
Chi Haimo: "Really? Okay, thank you. Is Gyarados finished eating?"
Gyarados: “Roar~”
After the two paid their respective bills, they headed to a nearby open space to prepare for their Pokémon battle.
Chi Haimo: "Well, go ahead, Gyarados."
Gyarados: "Roar!"
Bonnie: "Um, excuse me, do you have any fire-type Pokémon?"
Chi Haimo: "Ah? Yes."
Bonnie: "Well, please use your fire-type Pokémon, and I will fight you with my ice-type Pokémon."
Chi Haimo: "Ah? Why? If the ice element fights against the fire element, wouldn't it be very disadvantageous?"
Bonnie: "Well, because the more unfavorable the conditions, the better the training of Pokémon, right? I am a trainer who is good at using ice-type Pokémon. I think that blazing flames are the best way to train ice-type Pokémon."
(Yeah, that’s understandable.)
After Heimer took out Chickadee's Poké Ball, he said to Bonnie.
Chi Haimo: "Well, Miss Bonnie, I'm ready."
Bonnie: "Well, let's get started."
The two of them threw the Pokémon Balls into the open space at the same time. With a flash of white light, Toad appeared in the open space with obvious heat coming out of its body. However, this heat was immediately suppressed by the cold air from the Ice Demon that appeared in the open space.
Fire Chicken: "Xia Mo!"
Bonnie: "Hmm, I see. A very strong Chickadee. Well, choosing not to evolve is also a clear path."
(It's amazing that I can tell at a glance that Chickadee can evolve a long time ago.)
Bonnie: "Then please go first."
Chi Haimo: "Then we won't be polite, Fire Chicken, big words burst into flames!"
The Fire Chicken immediately gathered the power of fire, and a huge explosion of flames emitting strong heat quickly approached the Ice Ghost Guardian.
Bonnie: "Hmm, I see. Dodge and use Hail."
The speed of Bing Guihu was very fast. He dodged the huge explosion of flames by just turning sideways.
Afterwards, the coldness on his body instantly spread throughout the entire open space, and dense hail fell from the sky under the summons of the Ice Ghost Guardian.
Chi Haimo: "Fire Chicken, use the jet of fire towards the sky!"
Bonnie: "Absolute zero."
The Fire Chicken quickly gathered heat, but before the flames were emitted, the Ice Demon Guard had already reached the Fire Chicken and compressed all the cold air around it. At that moment, the temperature around the Fire Chicken dropped rapidly because of the Ice Demon Guard's breath.
After being hit by Absolute Zero, Fire Chicken turned into an ice sculpture and lost its ability to fight.
Upon seeing this, Heimer immediately stepped forward to check on Torchic's condition, and Bonnie, seeing that the outcome of the battle was already decided, immediately released the power of Absolute Zero.
(What a precise absolute zero. Moreover, Ice Demon's attack speed was too fast. Fire Chicken had no time to attack. Well, it was over in one move. It seems that the gap between me and everyone else and the Four Heavenly Kings is too big.)
Bonnie: "The power of the Big Character Explosion is very strong, but it takes too much to take away from the body of the Fire Chick."
Chi Haimo: "Well, I've discovered this before, so I once tried to let Fire Chicken maintain a high-intensity flame output, hoping to make him adapt to this intensity, but only the power of the moves was enhanced, and the endurance was not enhanced at all."
After hearing about Heimer's training methods, Bonnie smiled and shook her head.
Bonnie: "So, have you ever tried reducing the power?"
Chi Haimo: "Reduce the power?"
Bonnie: "The reason why Fire Chick feels so tired right now is because the power of the Big Character Explosion is too strong at the moment, and the burden on his body is too great. If he keeps working so hard, his body will probably collapse completely."
(I see. No wonder when he came to fight with Snake before, although the power of his moves increased each time, the time it took to recover his strength after each battle became longer.)
Bonnie squatted down gracefully, gently touched the head of the Fire Chicken, and spoke softly to the Fire Chicken.
Bonnie: "It's a good thing to work hard, but sometimes working too hard can backfire."
Chi Haimo: "Well, Miss Bonnie, do you have any good ideas?"
Bonnie: "Well, have you ever run a marathon?"
After hearing Bonnie's question, Heimer said in confusion.
Chi Haimo: "Marathon?"
