Chapter 324: Meeting an old friend again! And the winning strategy!
"Oh? You've heard our story?"
The purple-haired woman asked curiously.
It's not that they use small talk to delay time. After all, the game time remains paused until trainers from both sides send out their Pokémon.
"Ayao, do you know them?"
Shizuka was no longer surprised by Wang Yao's strange connections.
“…That’s not the case.”
Wang Yao shook his head.
"But they both look like elite monsters. Which ordinary person has purple hair?"
Wang Yao said this with a solemn oath.
"Forehead……"
Shizuka grabbed a strand of pink hair by her ear and looked at her boyfriend's black hair, as if she wanted to say something.
"Humph! Where did this stupid country boy come from? He is so ignorant."
Megan thought Wang Yao was making fun of her and couldn't help feeling annoyed.
"So it's you... It seems like you've made a lot of progress over the years."
Gabe crossed his arms across his chest, as if he recognized Wang Yao's identity.
"Eh? Do we really know each other?"
This time it was Wang Yao's turn to be surprised.
"It's just a brief encounter. The last time I saw you was in Alola."
Gabe reminded.
"At that time, I accidentally entered a forest full of sleeping mushrooms, and after I came out, I lost my way again. It was you who helped me find the way."
“…I forgot to thank you then.”
Gabe explained how he met Wang Yao.
"Oh... the Sleeping Mushroom Forest..."
Wang Yao suddenly realized.
No wonder he had no impression.
At that time he was still mining day and night, so how could he remember a stranger who asked for directions.
"Was it then that you tamed the Sleeping Mushroom?"
Now it's the turn of curious baby Shizuka to start asking questions.
"Yeah, I dug it up... Ahem! I captured it while doing a geological survey in Alola."
Wang Yao confessed.
"Oh~"
Shizuka didn't ask much, after all, Wang Yao had told her about his previous experience in the La Lola area.
In order to complete Dr. Pumpkin's commission...
Travel alone to the Alola region to investigate the connection between the local special natural environment and distribution of mineral resources and its unique regionalized forms of Pokémon.
The task content is very confusing, right?
Just twist your tongue!
"Alright, alright! Let's stop reminiscing about the past!"
Megan waved her hand and stood in front of her brother Gabe, holding the Poké Ball in her hand and shouted.
"Even if we are old acquaintances, we won't let him go!"
"Go ahead - Lightning!"
Megan quickly threw out the Poké Ball.
"Ugh——!"
After a deep dragon roar, Butter Bread made a brilliant appearance!
"Alright then! Iku elbow! Hurricane!"
Gabe followed his sister's footsteps and sent out his own bread and butter.
"Wow! There are Dragonite on both sides!"
Shizuka showed an ignorant expression.
"Tsk~"
Wang Yao shook his head. After all, this was still Kanto’s territory… He had long guessed that the two on the opposite side were also trainers specializing in flying.
It was a pity that his ivory pig had fallen down early.
Otherwise, throw a few icicles at them, and have fun fighting~
"Ayao? How do we fight?"
Shizuka came back to her senses and started asking about tactics.
"Hmm...let me think about it."
Wang Yao pondered.
Now all six Pokémon he registered have been revealed.
Giant Claw Crab, Arbok, Chimp, Slowking... and the fallen Mamoswine and Bearcat.
Shizuka also lost Psyduck and Suncoral, and the strength of Swamplord and Rhyno was almost gone.
Ignore the Sleepy-Hoo who is still sleeping...Now she only has enough energy left in Jigglypuff.
"Your aunt gave you a prop just now, right?"
Wang Yao suddenly thought of it.
"Yeah, I quite like it."
Shizuka nodded.
"Okay then... I'll assist this time, and you take the lead."
Wang Yao took out the Giant Claw Crab's Poké Ball and had a good idea.
"Ah? Should I ask Jigglypuff for help? But it..."
Shizuka was a little hesitant.
boom--!
While she was hesitating, the Poké Ball on Shizuka's waist exploded automatically.
"Lucky!"
Jigglypuff can't wait.
boom!
Two short little hands touched each other in front of the chest!
The red gloves on Jigglypuff's hands made muffled thumping sounds.
Fist of luck!
Although everyone thought that Jigglypuff's exclusive item was the Evolution Stone...
But it's actually this funny-looking red spring-loaded glove.
"Lucky!"
Jigglypuff looked back at Shizuka, his eyes full of confidence.
"Okay, Jigglypuff! I believe you!"
Shizuka mustered up her courage and responded with an equally determined look.
"Wait a minute...just do it...anyway...like this...and then like that..."
Wang Yao whispered in Shizuka's ear.
"Will this work? Will it... okay... that's it!"
Shizuka's expression changed from full of doubt to half-belief, and finally to understanding.
"Hey - have you guys discussed this?!"
Megan shouted with her hands on her hips across the entire battlefield.
"Alright, alright! Let's get started!"
Wang Yao waved his hand.
According to the order of drawing lots before entering the door, the right to attack first belongs to the tower owner.
"Really? Forget about the Pokémon like the Giant Claw Crab that is as common as street dogs..."
"Why is it that even Jigglypuff is here... We seem to be looked down upon!"
Megan muttered with a frown.
"After all, he's the guy who beat the first seven levels in less than nine minutes. Don't let your guard down."
Gabe shook his stiff neck and shoulders and spoke in a lazy tone.
"Huh - these are just some tricks. They are vulnerable in front of the real strength!"
Megan blew at her fingernails disdainfully.
"Solve it with one move! Dragon Dive!"
Although she secretly kept her brother's reminder in mind, Megan's tactics remained as domineering as ever due to her confidence in her own strength.
"Roar--!"
The short wings stirred up a strong wind, and the battle was about to begin.
Thanks to the wide space on the top of the tower, even a fat dragon like Dragonite can fly freely here.
"Chucky, use meditation!"
Shizuka completely ignored the Dragonite that was ready to take off in the sky, as if the other party was just a piece of buttered bread.
"Lucky!"
Jigglypuff closed his eyes, kicked his legs, and just sat down there.
"Ridiculous!"
Megan was almost amused by Jigglypuff's performance.
"Hmm? Did I misjudge him?"
Gabe's Dragonite was still hovering in the air. Compared to his anxious and arrogant sister, his style was much calmer.
At this time, he followed the usual fighting method, letting his sister test the situation at the beginning while he observed the situation from the sidelines.
"Maybe I don't even need to do anything..."
But the performance of the two opponents obviously disappointed him.
"Roar--!"
The might of the dragon's swooping down made Jigglypuff, who was meditating, tremble his egg skin involuntarily.
boom--!
Carrying a strong airflow, Dragonite roared and rushed towards the pink plush egg on the ground.
"Gurg!"
An orange-red figure leaped out and intercepted the opponent's flight path.
Bang——! ! ! !
The crab claws hit the dragon scales, and a blinding flash of light exploded the moment of contact.
The flying cyclone and the water flow on the crab's claws broke apart at the point of impact, forming a white steam ball surrounding the entire area.
"Sorry, this road is blocked."
The steam dissipated, and Wang Yao's even lazier voice traveled across the entire venue and reached the ears of Megan and Gabe.
