Chapter 126: Comeback against the Wind
"Use the grass flute."
The sunflower monster held its leaf-like arm to the corner of its mouth, and a melodious and relaxing grass flute sound came out from the leaves.
Shang Zhi was also playing the harp behind him, and the singing and the sound of the harp filled the entire arena. The spectators and judges watching the competition all closed their eyes and listened.
Only then did Xiaoguang realize that the Seed Machine Gun was just a feint, just to stop Pogamon and prevent it from getting close to him. The real target was the Grass Flute behind him.
"Pogaman, don't sleep."
Seeing that Pogamon was so dizzy that he could hardly stand, he could only keep shouting to remind it.
"Boga~"
Pogaman tried to cheer himself up but was still subconsciously immersed in the sound of the grass flute.
Seeing that Pogamon was almost asleep, Xiaoguang finally came up with a solution, and a trace of pity flashed in his eyes.
I'm sorry, Pogaman.
"Pogaman, use the peck attack on yourself."
After hearing the voice, Pogaman tried to raise his eyelids. He heard the command in a daze and didn't think much about it. He just bit his own wings.
"Boga!"
After this bite, Pogaman suddenly woke up and jumped around in pain.
Feeling the constant pain on his wings, Pogaman's eyes were filled with tears. He thought to himself, why did I peck myself just now? It hurts so much.
"This... is an unexpected solution."
Shang Zhi's gentle expression could hardly be maintained, his pupils dilated, and he was obviously shocked by this method of self-harm to resolve the predicament.
"Xiao Guang is really amazing. This solution is perfect."
Xiaoyun nodded with relief. After all, there was no method more convenient and quicker than this. As for Pogaman, it was no big deal for a boy to get injured.
"Ah."
Xiaozhi and Xiaogang nodded in agreement, obviously they also agreed with this method.
"Okay, Pogaman, let's start fighting back."
Seeing that the problem had been solved, Xiaoguang waved his fist and officially began his counterattack.
"Use the water jet."
Pogaman wiped the tears from his eyes and stared at the Sunflower Monster. Then his body was wrapped by the water flow and turned into a water column and attacked quickly.
"Sunflower monster, get out of the way."
After continuous attacks, the Sunflower Monster's physical strength has been exhausted, and the Sunflower Monster itself is slow to begin with.
Facing the water jet from Pogaman, he could only try to move his steps, but was still hit in the abdomen head-on.
"Use the final peck attack."
"Boga."
Pogamon, who had just used the recoil of the water jet to bounce back into the air, then spun downward with a white light rising from the corner of his mouth and dealt a fatal blow to the Sunflower Monster.
The Sunflower Monster was hit in the abdomen by the peck attack, and the flying attack was so effective that it fainted on the spot.
"Sunflower has lost its ability to fight. Since Mr. Shangzhi's two Pokémon lost their ability to fight at the same time, all points have been deducted. Ms. Xiaoguang has successfully turned the tide, so Ms. Xiaoguang has won this tournament."
The time stopped at 20 seconds, and Shangzhi's two Pokémon avatars dimmed at the same time. The scores were cleared due to the elimination of the Pokémon, and then only Xiaoguang's winning avatar remained on the big screen.
"Sunflower Monster, you've worked hard, take a good rest."
Shangzhi put the Sunflower Monster, which had lost its ability to fight, into the Poké Ball.
"I lost, but losing to Miss Xiaoguang doesn't seem unacceptable."
. . . . .
On the podium, Melissa handed the ribbon medal in the box to Xiaoguang.
"Xiao Guang girl, this is your ribbon medal of fate."
"Thank you Miss Melissa."
"I got the Ribbon Medal of Fate!"
Xiaoguang carefully took the ribbon medal, bowed politely to Melissa, and then struck a classic pose.
"One more thing, Xiaoguang girl."
"When I watched your fight just now, I found that your fighting style was a little different from the usual fancy duels. It almost made me think that I was watching a gym match in a gym."
"Ah, this."
Xiaoguang scratched her head with her fingers, feeling a little embarrassed. Is Miss Melissa... criticizing her?
But after all, Miss Melissa is a senior coordinator, so just treat it as a senior's instruction, and quickly pretend to accept it humbly.
"Sorry, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to criticize you, on the contrary you played very well."
When Melissa saw Xiaoguang's expression, she knew she had misunderstood and hurried to explain.
"Because I am a coordinator trainer and also a gym leader before, I think many people are obsessed with the gorgeousness of skills and ignore the strength of Pokémon, which is not good."
"So it's great that you can combine the two, and it can take you a lot further as a Coordination Trainer,"
"So I'm very optimistic about you, Xiaoguang."
Melissa didn't know why she said so much today. Maybe it was just like her last sentence, she was really optimistic about the girl in front of her.
"Thank you, Miss Melissa."
Xiaoguang continued to salute the senior in front of her who was imparting his experience to her, thinking that it was not a criticism.
Her fight just now was indeed a little unglamorous, but Miss Melissa said it was okay, so there was no need to change it.
Then he thought of something and quickly stopped Melissa who was about to leave.
"By the way, Miss Melissa, please wait a moment."
"Hmm? Is there anything else, Xiao Guang?"
Melissa turned around and looked at the girl in front of her curiously.
"Ms. Melissa, will you still be at the gym tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow, I was planning to take a day off, but it sounds like you have something to do."
When Melissa heard this question, she thought about tomorrow's arrangements and looked at Xiaoguang in confusion.
"Why, do you want to try to challenge the gym?"
"No, no, no, it's my friend who wants to challenge the gym. I was wondering if you have time."
Xiaoguang hurriedly explained that she heard from Xiaoyun that Melissa was a gym leader who was active in the Gorgeous Competition, but because of this reason she often went out and the gym was also in a state of rest.
I happened to meet Miss Melissa today so I'll just bring this up.
"Of course no problem."
As for the challenge, Melissa said it was no big deal and she could go out for the trip a day later.
Xiaoyun: Emmm, so you really have to run. If Xiaoguang hadn’t called you, would he have run in vain?
"Then I'll wait at the gym for your partner to challenge the gym."
"Thank you."
"It doesn't matter. This is my duty as the owner of the museum."
If many trainers heard this, they would definitely roll their eyes at Melissa.
As one of the unreliable gym leaders in the league, Melissa could be ranked at the top.
If the trainers who come to challenge are a little bit better, they may meet Melissa by chance, but most of them have to wait in Yuanzhi City for ten days or half a month before they can meet her.
Some people have already got all the remaining badges, but they still come here specifically for this badge. It makes me cry just thinking about it.

Good night (#?w?#)
