Chapter 283 Passed the Assessment
"Frog, come on, stand up..." Takuya's voice kept coming from the No. 3 training ground.
Xiaozhi stood at his command seat with a guilty look on his face. Seeing the referee's eyes drifting over, he suddenly became angry: "Why are you looking at me? I didn't do anything!!"
In the arena, the mosquito frog fell on its back on the ground, twitching occasionally and emitting a few purple bubbles.
Next to the Frog, Mushroom was standing there in good condition, with Kukumao green light on his body, and his health was about to overflow...
This is really not Xiaozhi playing dirty with other kids. At the beginning, Xiaozhi wanted to use poison treatment first, so he let Mushroom feed him poison powder...
Who would have thought that Takuya was such a fierce kid, and he was slapped repeatedly by the mosquito-repellent frog right after he came up...
This time, the slap didn't hit Mushroom, but I took a big gulp of poison powder...
In addition, water-based skills were just a tickle to Mushroom, so Takuya had no choice but to engage in close combat with Mushroom.
But the more the frog is hit, the faster its stamina decreases, and the health bar of the mushroom is indeed pushing up...
Look, the mosquito-repellent frog was as ferocious as a tiger, but in the end, it was stuck in the same place...
"Gush..." He raised his hand tremblingly, and the mosquito frog deflated and lay flat on the spot.
"Mushroom wins..." The referee raised his hand in a cheating manner.
"Ah this..." Xiaozhi covered his face: "I'm sorry, I didn't expect it to be like this."
Takuya bowed with tears in his eyes, took back the spirit, turned around and ran away.
"Well... your school should have a psychologist, right..." Xiaozhi asked the referee uncertainly.
"Don't worry, there will be professional teachers to help him with psychological counseling." The referee said with a twitch of his mouth.
"Oh, then I'm relieved. Go on." Xiaozhi patted his chest.
Hearing what Xiaozhi said, Shota on the sidelines immediately trotted over to Xiaozhi's side.
"Mr. Xiaozhi, I've seen your previous Silver League competition. You're really amazing.
I hope to learn from you!" Shota clenched his fists, his hands trembling with excitement...
"Ahem, let's learn from each other. Come on." Xiaozhi nodded helplessly.
Don't hit someone who smiles at you, especially your little fan.
Thinking of this kid's partner, Xiaozhi made a decision: "Since I'm fighting against you, I'll use it."
"Bo Shougong, it's decided to be you!"
As expected, Shota also took out the same Pokémon.
"Chama~" Holding a branch in its mouth, Xiaozhi's Bile Gecko looked at its fellow species opposite with an evil smile.
I am invincible among people of the same level and clan. I can fight one-for-one with those below the priesthood. That’s no joke!
"Qia Mo~" Although the opponent trembled all over, he immediately bent his legs slightly and took a defensive stance.
Xiaozhi nodded slightly in appreciation. He did not flee when faced with a more powerful enemy, and his judgment of the defensive posture was also timely.
"Game start!"
As the referee's voice fell, Shota's attack came immediately.
Flipping through the notes in his hand, Shota's mind saw the data fluctuating: the probability of Boroshima taking the initiative is 78%, and the probability of success is 85%. He must attack first!
"A flash of lightning!"
Swoosh! As soon as Shota finished his words, the Bombix hornet shot out, and its figure with a white electric tail rushed towards Xiaozhi's Bombix hornet.
Xiaozhi took it easy: "Pre-emptive~ and then slap!"
"Cha~" Xiaozhi's Bulbasaur's eyes flashed and he turned sideways.
At the moment the two sides met, Xiaozhi's Bikololi suddenly turned around and pulled out its big tail with force.
Bang! Shota's wood gecko staggered and pounced forward.
"Seed Machine Gun!" Xiaozhi didn't give Shota any chance to organize a counterattack and immediately followed up with damage.
"Cha~ma!" The wood gecko jumped up, golden energy gathered in its mouth, and rows of seeds shot out!
Boom! The seed machine gun came down, pressing the newly-risen gecko back into the soil...
Swoosh... The moment it landed on the ground, the wood gecko was covered in shining white light.
With the experience of eating Shota, and the special care he received in the past few days, Satoshi's Bikololi finally underwent a transformation.
The light of evolution converged, the elf appeared handsomely on the field with slender limbs, a long willow leaf on the head, and knife-leaf buds on the elbows.
"It's a forest lizard! So handsome~" After taking back his Bikoboshi, Shota looked at Xiaozhi with stars in his eyes...
"Cha..." As the forest lizard lowered its head to gather strength, the knife-leaf bud at its elbow suddenly stretched out.
Swoosh! Two emerald green blades stretched out, flashing with cold light~
The forest lizard casually threw the branch it had been holding in its mouth upwards, and then the leaf blade suddenly flashed past.
A branch was instantly chopped into countless tiny toothpicks.
The forest lizard casually caught a toothpick and held it in its mouth. Then it looked at Xiaozhi, and a faint sense of oppression spread out.
"Tsk tsk, well done. Don't show off all the time~" Xiaozhi smiled and patted the forest lizard's shoulder.
The forest lizard nodded seriously, retracted the leaf blade, and pounded his chest with one hand.
"Chama~ (I, the Forest Lizard, am willing to shoulder all the responsibilities of the battle in the Hoenn Journey!)"
Xiaozhi smiled with satisfaction, good boy, you are acting like an elder brother now.
Although Proud Swallow entered the sect earlier than the Forest Lizard, the God-Slaying Lizard King is undoubtedly the leader of Hoenn, and it is a good thing that he has this awareness.
"Um, Mr. Satoshi, can I shake your hand?" While Satoshi was communicating with the forest lizard, Shota also came over.
Xiaozhi shook hands with the little fan without hesitation: "Keep up the good work."
"Well, I will follow in Mr. Xiaozhi's footsteps, and one day, I will challenge you again." Shota said seriously.
Xiaozhi nodded and responded with equal seriousness: "I'll wait for you, catch up soon."
"Yes!" Xiangtai responded loudly, then ran back contentedly.
I guess this guy will also take a leave of absence from school to travel...
After taking back the Forest Lizard, Xiaozhi looked at the referee and said, "Excuse me, is the assessment over?"
The referee nodded and said, "You passed the test. I will report to the gym leader now and let you know the exact time of the gym competition."
Xiaozhi finally felt relieved and followed the referee out of the training ground.
When Xiaozhi arrived at the lobby of the gym, Dujuan and the others had already returned.
"How is it? Is the academy fun?" Xiaozhi asked Serena with a smile.
"Well, there are indeed many things worth learning." Serena nodded.
On the other side, Dujuan was receiving the assessment results from Xiaozhi's referee.
"Combat awareness A, Elf rating C+, assessment passed." The referee reported seriously.
"Okay, I understand. Help me prepare the gym Pokémon for Group B." Dujuan smiled and nodded.
"I understand, Master." The referee nodded and turned back to make preparations.
After a while, Yuki also came back with the referee.
"Battle awareness A-, Elf evaluation D+, test passed."
Dujuan looked at Xiaozhi and the others in surprise. You know, according to the academic grading, the combat awareness of most elite trainers can only reach B or B+.
Xiaozhi and Yushu are both Class A, they are really good. No wonder they are so harsh to the academic trainers.
"Prepare Group C gym Pokémon for this challenger."
The referee nodded and left, Du Juan came to Xiaozhi and the others with admiration and said, "Thank you both for the assessment, you both passed.
However, I still have classes in the afternoon.
So, I can only schedule one of you today. The other one will be scheduled for tomorrow morning, is that ok?"
Before Xiaozhi could say anything, Yuki agreed, "No problem, I'll schedule it for tomorrow."
Seeing the curious looks from Xiaozhi and the other two, Youshu scratched his head awkwardly: "After encountering two fire-type imps, Mushroom will probably need a night's rest to recover to its peak condition."
Xiaozhi nodded in understanding and came to Dujuan: "Then I'll leave it to you, Miss Dujuan."
Du Juan put one hand on his waist, nodded readily, and said to the part-time student beside him: "The main venue is ready, I want to play in the gym competition."
"Yes, Teacher Dujuan!" The senior student nodded and trotted off to prepare.
Xiaozhi's first gym battle in Hoenn is about to begin!
To be continued...
