Chapter 151: Glass Gym, Battle against Adam (Battle against the Elegant Water Artist)
Don't stop for anyone, be proud of your own progress.
At this moment, Heimer was leaning on the railing on the deck of the ship heading to Liuli City, looking at the endless sea. For some reason, he felt like he was drifting.
The last badge is just ahead in Liuli City, but Heimer just can't muster up the energy.
After the band's performance, Heimer returned to the Pokémon Center, lay on the bed, hugged his pillow, and cried loudly again.
This time, he decided to cry until he would never shed tears for Xiao Shun again.
Obviously, Heimer did it. He cried until his hands and feet were numb that night, and he would never shed a tear for Xiao Shun again.
Perhaps Heimer's tiredness on the boat was just due to being tired from looking at the sea... Maybe...
After arriving in Liuli City, Heimer immediately went to the Pokémon Center. After a short rest, Heimer began to think about the countermeasures against the Liuli Gym Leader.
The water-attribute gym is a very tricky gym, because the water attribute itself has only two weaknesses, grass-type and electric-type.
And because most water-attribute Pokémon have ice-type skills, the grass-type Pokémon actually can't gain much of an advantage.
As for the electric attribute, among Heimer's Pokémon, only Chansey has electric skills, electromagnetic waves, and it's a transformation skill.
Therefore, the focus of this game is probably not on dealing with water attributes, but on resisting ice attribute moves.
At this moment, Heimer was standing at the door of the Glass Gym. The magnificent garden and the unique decoration represented that the trainer of this gym was a very tasteful person.
Heimer, carrying his backpack, slowly pressed the doorbell. After a ding-dong sound, an old man's voice came from the microphone on the doorbell.
Sebastian: "Hello, who are you?"
Chi Haimo: "Hello, I'm here to challenge the gym."
Sebastian: "Okay, please wait a moment."
After Heimer waited for a while, an old man dressed as a butler opened the iron gate.
Sebastian: "Hello, I work as a butler in this gym. My name is Sebastian."
Chi Haimo: "Hello, my name is Chi Haimo, just call me Haimo."
Sebastian: "Well, then, please follow me."
After Heimer followed Sebastian into the iron gate, Heimer realized that the iron gate he had just entered was the back door of the gym.
After checking the pocket navigator, Heimer discovered that the reason the pocket navigator did not show the way to the main gate was because the main gate required passing through a section of water.
After arriving at the gym, a man wearing a very unique blue windbreaker was standing at the door and looking at Heimer with a smile.
Adam: “Are you the challenger?”
Chi Haimo: "Well, yes, my name is Chi Haimo, just call me Haimo."
After hearing Heimer's self-introduction, Adam spoke to Heimer in a very gentle tone.
Adam: "Hello, my name is Adam, and as you can see, I'm the gym leader of the Liuli Gym."
Sebastian: "Heimer, now please go to the Pokémon Trainer area on the field and get ready."
Chi Haimo: "Well, okay."
The battle field of Liuli Gym is a water battle field, which basically looks like a swimming pool.
After Heimer and Adam walked to the two sides of the battle field respectively, Sebastian formally began to introduce the competition rules of the Liuli Gym.
Sebastian: "Then let's start the gym challenge between gym trainer Adam and challenger Chi Haimo. Five Pokémon will be used. Please choose two Pokémon to compete in doubles in the first round."
(Sure enough, the doubles match started first.)
Sebastian: "When both Pokémon of the gym trainer and the challenger lose their ability to fight, the first round of battle ends. Then, the Pokémon that won the first round will be used for the second round of battle. After the second round of battle, it becomes a one-on-one duel. When both Pokémon of the two sides lose their ability to fight, the game ends. Also, during the game, only the challenger can change Pokémon."
(By the way, the competition rules of the Liuli Gym are really complicated.)
After Sebastian finished speaking, Adam elegantly adjusted the cuffs of his clothes and spoke gently to Heimer.
Adam: "Trainers who want to participate in the Hoenn League must be as soft as water. No matter what rules they encounter, they can change their own shape and make the right response. So, Heimer, let's get started. Go, Sea Lion!"
Adam gracefully threw the Poké Ball in his hand. After the Poké Ball landed on the circular floating platform on the water surface of the battle field, a white light flashed, and the Sea Lion appeared domineeringly on the floating platform.
Adam: "Next up is number two, go ahead, King Goldfish!"
Adam threw out his second Poké Ball and it spun. After it landed on the floating board, there was a flash of white light, and the Kingfish fell gracefully and powerfully from the Poké Ball into the water.
(Goldfish King plus Sea Demon Lion? If that's the case.)
Chi Haimo: "I'm counting on you guys, Shake the Spot! And Jigglypuff!"
The white light faded away, and Jigglypuff appeared on the float, dancing happily, while Staggering Spot was swaying on the float, twisting his body.
Adam: "Well, Heimer, you go first."
Chi Haimo: "Then I'm not welcome, Jilidan, electromagnetic waves!"
Jigglypuff rubbed her palms with a wicked smile on her face, and crack-like electric currents quickly spread from her hands and attacked the Goldfish King and the Sea Lion.
I thought I could hit it directly, but unexpectedly, the electric current gathered on the horns of the goldfish king as if it was summoned, and then dissipated with a sizzling sound.
Chi Haimo: "That is the lightning rod characteristic!"
Seeing Heimer's somewhat shocked expression, Adam said with a smile.
Adam: "Brother Heimer, didn't I tell you that, just like water, it can change its shape in time to deal with various emergencies? Well, now, a lightning rod feature has left you at a loss?"
Chi Haimo: "Well, how about this move, shake the spots, and use the shaking dance!"
Adam: “Dive in.”
The subtle feeling quickly spread from the dance of the wobbly spot, but because the Kingfish and the Sea Lion dived into the water in time, the only one who was confused in the end was Chansey.
(Unexpectedly, both Plan A and Plan B failed. Damn it. When I was thinking of countermeasures before, I completely ignored the factor of the water battle field.)
Chi Haimo: "Jelly Egg, come back."
Seeing that Chansey was in a state of confusion and dancing on the float with her hands and feet flailing, Heimer had no choice but to take her back.
Adam: "So, who are you going to send next?"
Chi Haimo: "For the opponent hiding underwater, of course, please, Lizard King!"
The white light faded away, and the Lizard King appeared handsomely on the float. His sharp eyes and rich green color made Adam admire him very much.
Adam: "The training is very good. So, what means of attack will you use next?"
