Chapter 622: Battle against Grand Duke Xiaozhi
After resting for a day in Gumu Town, Xiaozhi and his group continued on their way towards Haruka City.
Xiaozhi is going to fight against the Fortress, while Serena is going to participate in the first appearance of the Triple Crown Tournament in Haruka City.
In this series, in addition to Serena, the beloved son of the former Queen Carlos will also participate.
Some media even called this series the handover of power between the old and new queens.
Therefore, it is not 100% certain whether Serena, who holds two ribbon trophies, can be successfully crowned with the gorgeous crown.
For Carlos' first match, Serena prepared an all-star lineup.
The demon fire red fox, the fairy elf, Milotic, Gardevoir, Tanabata Bluebird, and Dragonite...
To be honest, with this lineup, even if Mikoli comes, he can't guarantee that he will win against Serena!
Following the path along the river, everyone moved forward according to the direction of the map.
The battle fortress was built upstream of the river path.
Carlos seems to like the castle type of architectural style very much.
The Bafam Incense Hall in Gumu Town, the upcoming Battle Fortress, the gym building style in Haruka City, and the architectural style of Sala City are all similar castle buildings.
"The weather is so nice today." Hitlon stretched and couldn't help but sigh.
"Yeah, if I stay at home every day, how can I see such beautiful wild flowers by the river, and the blue sky and white clouds..." Yurika played hide-and-seek with Dongdong Mouse in the flowers. They had a lot of fun.
"Quack~" A duck flew in the sky, it must be a white-haired Call duck!
"Congyoubing, don't fall into the river." Xiaozhi reminded helplessly.
The next second, splash... Cole Duck entered the water. Seeing the other party holding his green onion and using the shield to slide on the water, Xiaozhi and Pikachu were both dumbfounded.
“(?o?o) Holy shit, ducks can swim!
Onion Soldier: Kamu~_(:3」∠)_As a duck, I can not only swim, but also fly! !
Why is this guy here? Because Xiaozhi is impatient and has nothing to do in Gumu Town, so he feeds Rocket Bird some of the Phoenix King's Nirvana Fire...
The effect was outstanding! The child had evolved at that moment... He just fell asleep and couldn't be woken up...
After contacting Professor Oak, the final conclusion was that the body and energy were out of sync, and the body of the Fiery Arrow Hawk was evolving towards the standard of the Phoenix... to adapt to the fire of Nirvana...
Therefore, as a new generation of Pokémon with wings, Chipotle was directly promoted to the first team by Xiaozhi.
It just so happens that I can train its Meteor Assault recently...
"Hey~ Are you guys going to fight the Fortress too?"
"Yo~ us too."
Two boys in overalls appeared from the corner and greeted them warmly.
"Uh. That's true...so what are you talking about~" Xiaozhi looked confused.
"Hey, the Battle Fortress is a place where you can earn honor through fighting. Are you ready?"
"Hey~ This is my first time going there, but my brother is already an old hand~"
The two brothers, one fat and one thin, one tall and one short, introduced themselves enthusiastically with gestures and laughter.
Serena couldn't help rolling her eyes. She couldn't stand rappers...
"In that case, let's go together." Xiaozhi interrupted the two and everyone walked forward together.
Soon, a double-story palace by the water appeared before everyone's eyes. The bronze triumphal arch was engraved with Ukiyo-e characters.
"Use your title to prove your strength!" Hitlon read out.
"That's interesting." Xiaozhi smiled slightly: "Let's go in quickly."
"Don't worry, I am a baron. Someone will come to greet us." The fatter brother Nicholas snapped his fingers in a very stylish manner.
With a click, the door opened automatically, and the red carpet led directly to the hall with carved beams and painted walls.
Two rows of maids bowed and saluted: "Welcome back to the Battle Fortress!"
"Hmm...eh!" Nicola himself was stunned. Wasn't there only one maid to greet the Baron?
"Brother, that's so cool!" Brother Tesla's eyes lit up.
"Hahaha...this...I'm surprised too..." Nicola scratched his head.
"Xiaozhi, long time no see, welcome to the Battle Fortress." The sound of armor colliding was heard.
The Nicola brothers' eyes widened immediately: "King Yan Kai!"
"Yan Kai... King?" Xiao Zhi looked at Yan Kai curiously.
"I have to address you by title here. As the actual owner of the Battle Fortress, I am also the only duke." Yan Kai tapped his armor with one hand: "By the way, after receiving the news of your arrival, I took the initiative to grant Lord Xiaozhi the title of Grand Duke."
"Duke?!" The Nicholas brothers exclaimed in surprise.
"Well, as a man who was once on par with me in battle, I think Xiaozhi is fully capable of obtaining the title of Duke." Yan Kai nodded.
“Dear Lord Xiaozhi, please follow me, we have prepared a special lounge for you.
The welcome banquet will begin soon. "The meticulously groomed butler Yikong led Xiaozhi and his party into the castle.
Nicola patted his brother on the back, "Let's go Tesla, today is also your important debut match, it's a pity that you can't fight against Xiaozhi."
"It's okay, brother. We will catch up sooner or later!" Tesla encouraged himself enthusiastically.
Following Yan Kai all the way to the duplex banquet hall on the second floor, Yan Kai introduced with a smile: "I built the Battle Fortress so that trainers like you, Xiaozhi, can enjoy the fun of fighting.
Moreover, the title not only brings honor, but also allows one to enjoy a series of services including food, drink and entertainment here.
Here, everyone will choose their opponents based on their titles and improve their fighting skills."
"It sounds like it's perfect for Xiaozhi." Serena said with a smile.
"That's true," Xiaozhi smiled and thought to himself, Yan Kai, you are a very bad old man.
The battle fortress matches the opponent according to the title. Xiaozhi's title is Grand Duke.
According to the title, there may be no rival who can match him! !
Yan Kai himself: That’s right, I am the prince, and I won’t fight with you here, it’s reasonable!
The luxurious salon room is a duplex structure with two floors, equipped with a buffet, water bar, library and leisure sofas.
Citron couldn't wait to get into the book corner, and Serena and Yurika enjoyed dessert and milk tea. Everyone quickly integrated into the atmosphere.
"Well, it's a good place indeed," Xiaozhi had to admit.
"Everyone! Please stand up and welcome the arrival of Grand Duke Xiaozhi." Following the butler's voice, the "knights" who were sitting or chatting around stopped what they were doing, stood up in surprise, and looked at Xiaozhi in doubt.
After all, Duke is already the highest rank in the Battle Fortress.
Following the butler's instructions, everyone politely placed one hand on their chest and bowed slightly.
"Ahem...you're welcome." Xiaozhi waved his hands awkwardly.
"How about it, Xiaozhi, are you satisfied with the title I bestowed upon you?" Yan Kai laughed heartily.
Looking at Nikola and Tesla who had already found their opponents and were led by the maid to the battle venue in the atrium, Xiaozhi sighed helplessly.
"The Grand Duke is great, but tell me, how am I going to have a pleasant… ahem, pleasant battle now?"
"Don't worry, I've prepared it for you a long time ago." Yan Kai clapped his hands: "Hey, Marquis Chaklo!"
"Yohoo~" A man in a suit who was doing climbing training jumped down from the top of the tall floor-to-ceiling window.
Xiaozhi raised his eyebrows. Chaklo~ This opponent should be pretty good.
