Haidai uses Tritrix, a Pokémon that looks very similar to Tritrix but is actually a completely different species.
The dancer sent out a dancing bird that had transformed into a Pazipazi form, and the electric-attribute awakening dance successfully took it down with a devastating force.
The Sanhai mole didn't even have the ability to fight back.
The same is true for the subsequent Toucan, which has four times the weak electric attribute and cannot escape from the Dancing Bird at all. They are all Pokémon that can fly.
When the third light-bodied cod came on stage, the situation was finally reversed.
This guy seems to be a Pokémon with psychic attributes, so even though it is a fish, it can still "swim" freely on the ground, but it is strange why it does not suffer from lack of oxygen.
What made Kashiwagi even more difficult to understand was that this guy could also use a move called [Flesh Shaking] to make himself look like a fish bone, greatly increasing his speed and double attack, and his appearance became extremely terrifying, which scared him.
I checked online and found out that the flesh on the Pokémon, Elaphe, is similar to the banana under the neck of a drake and the palm of a crab, and is a part that can regenerate quickly.
And it’s edible.
"Pokemon cult classic... Who designed this?" Kashiwagi frowned.
In the end, this strange, light-bodied cod fought a draw with the dancing bird, and both sides lost their ability to fight.
The reason for Qing Shen's defeat was...
[You heard Haidai say that Qingshenyu had fainted due to lack of oxygen and quickly took it to a fountain in the distance. You didn’t know what to say.]
After all this time, you still can’t breathe oxygen on land!
I thought you were an amphibian!
Kashiwagi was simply convinced.
The last one of Haidai, the competitive hairy crab.
It's not a water-type Pokémon, but apparently he can use the Tai Crystal Orb to turn it into a water-type.
The dancer chose to send out Sweet and Cold Beauty, and also used the killer move of Crystallization. A Crystal Grass and a Crystal Water Pokémon started a battle.
However, as a Fighting and Ice-attribute Pokémon, the benefits of Crabbe itself will not change, and it is good at mostly Ice-attribute moves, so Sweet and Cold Beauty suffered a lot.
That was the case at first.
But later, as the tropical kick of the sweet and cold queen hit again and again, the physical attack of the victorious hairy crab was reduced again and again, and the photosynthesis frequently restored the physical strength, and the ice attribute moves that were originally very effective gradually became ineffective.
Upon seeing this, the dancer immediately ordered the sweet and cold queen to pursue the victory, and soon completely defeated the victorious hairy crab with a powerful whip.
"This fighting style is like the SM queen at the ball..."
Baimu smacked his lips secretly.
The dancer Pokémon have different fighting styles based on their favorite dances and personalities. The sweet, cold and beautiful queen is the queen who stands tall and proud at the ball.
Chapter 533: Just holding on
[You defeated Haidai, the leader of the Glass Bottle Gym, and obtained the Glass Bottle Badge]
The dancer was not in a hurry to rush to the next city, but hoped to taste Haidai's seafood cuisine again. After all, the burning worm had never tasted this delicacy.
Haidai was so delighted by the compliments that how could he, a warm and cheerful person by nature, refuse?
It just so happened that the dancer brought back Alola's golden kelp, so he simply used it as the base for a seafood dish.
[You ate so much that you almost swallowed your tongue. The Pokémon's happy expressions made you laugh from the bottom of your heart.]
Dinner is over.
The dancers embark on a new journey.
The next stop was Jinhui Town, which was located in the West Third District and the two cities were very close to each other. Even though the dancers had to fight street battles with wild classmates while traveling, they still arrived at their destination in less than a day.
Having gathered relevant information in advance, she changed her style of dancing birds again.
[Your dancing bird·pazipazi style has changed to light and light style]
The light and graceful style transforms the dancing bird from an energetic cheerleader into a beautiful dancer holding a folding fan, and the purple feathers have a sense of loneliness.
[You have arrived at Jinhui Town, a town with a nostalgic atmosphere. The intricate roads and restaurants everywhere make you feel delighted.]
The food culture of Padya seems to be particularly developed. Since the dancer came to the West, she can find interesting delicacies in almost every town.
Interestingly.
When the dancer resisted the temptation and ran to the gym to sign up, the staff at the front desk told her that the owner, Aoki, was having dinner in a restaurant called Bao Shokudo.
Because it's break time.
[You think to yourself that since that’s the case, why not go and taste the food in Jinhui Town?]
The dancer then led the Pokémon to the Poké Canteen.
She actually wanted to get to know the leader of the Jinhui Gym, but after walking around in the Bao Restaurant for several rounds, she felt that no one looked like the leader.
They were either office workers or elderly men and women—and maybe all of them were her classmates.
[You have no choice but to sit down near the bar and ask a tired-looking middle-aged man for information]
But the innate high favorability that had always worked in the past seemed to be ineffective.
The dancer didn't get much gym information he wanted from the other party. He only knew that there was a secret menu in Bao's cafeteria, and that adding lemon juice to grilled rice balls was an adult flavor that children wouldn't understand.
[You looked at the tired look on his face and his sincere attitude towards the food, and stopped disturbing his private time]
Kashiwagi looked at the middle-aged man and couldn't help but complain, "Is this the gym leader?"
This guy is the only one nearby whose portrait is different. He is 100% the gym leader.
Unfortunately, the dancer did not have a "God's perspective" like him, and thought that the other party was just an ordinary diner, so he did not dare to disturb the other party's interest too much.
Not long after.
Wait until the dancer comes to the gym again.
The front desk accepted her registration and asked her to go to Bao Restaurant again, because the test of Jinhui Gym was to let her order a secret set meal there.
The dancer looked confused.
"Can this be considered a test?" Kashiwagi couldn't help but complain. Cooperating with the live broadcast and running errands were nothing to worry about, but ordering from the hidden menu in the restaurant was ok.
These are just tests set up according to the preferences of the gym leaders, right?
In the scene, the dancer runs back to Bao Canteen without stopping, and learns from the food ordering staff that he cannot reveal the secret menu and can only give feedback on whether the secret menu is yes or no based on the dancer's choice of food, quantity, heat, and side dishes.
The person who took the order kindly reminded her that she could get the answer from other gym challengers in the town.
then.
The dancer turned around again and prepared to leave.
But halfway through, the dancer stopped.
[You turned around and asked the person who took your order if there was a limit on the number of times you could order the secret menu. When he said no, you curled your lips]
There is no doubt that when faced with a test with fixed options, the dancers believe they can break through by using permutations and combinations.
The person who took the order was obviously not facing such a gym challenger for the first time and was very calm.
The dancers began to choose one by one.
Because the simulation accelerated this part, it was difficult for Kashiwagi to know how many options there were on Bao Canteen's menu. He only knew that the calmness of the person taking orders quickly disappeared.
The expression in the bubble above this person's head kept changing, and he looked a little overwhelmed.
God knows how long it took.
Accompanied by the carnival duck, the dancer showed unprecedented perseverance and shamelessness, and successfully ordered the secret meal without disturbing other guests and only disturbing the person who took the order.
The person ordering food in the simulation had a flushed face, as if his brain was overheated. He confirmed the secret meal and left.
[You learned from regular customers that many gym challengers had similar ideas to yours, but without exception they either guessed it in advance or were too thin-skinned to stick to the end]
In other words, the dancer was the first one to achieve the conditions through "perseverance".
[You suddenly feel embarrassed when you hear his words of praise, but what makes you persist? You can't help but look at the carnival dance duck]
Traveling with Pokémon can really change a person a lot.
The dancer changed from his original introverted and autistic personality to a confident and cheerful one. He also became bolder. Not only did he dare to run around everywhere, but even after being attacked by the Tianxing team, he dared to come forward to explain.
Most people wouldn't dare to go into an environment that would be obviously disadvantageous to them.
At this moment.
The diners in Bao Canteen left one after another, and the tables and mats were taken away by the waiters. Then, under the shocked gaze of the dancers, Bao Canteen turned into a battle field.
"Hi! This is amazing!"
Kashiwagi took a deep breath, not really understanding how the Jinhui Gym Leader had convinced the Bao Canteen owner to remodel his restaurant.
Could it be that the bosses behind the scenes are from the same family?
God knows.
As expected, a middle-aged man with a completely different pixelated portrait walked over from the bar. An exclamation mark appeared above the dancer's head. It was obvious that he didn't expect that the person he randomly picked to collect intelligence would be the gym leader.
[You look at the opponent's weak movements and doubt whether he is qualified to be a gym leader.]
But it turns out.
Whether a trainer is strong or not has nothing to do with whether he is weak or not.
Aoki, the leader of the Jinhui Gym, is a member of the Padia Pokémon League and one of the Four Heavenly Kings. He is good at Pokémon with normal attributes...
Very strong.
[You find that Aoki's moves and tactics are quite average, and he also claims that he is average among gym leaders, but this averageness reveals a hint of strength.]
Although the dancer won, it was a difficult win. Aoki's social skill [Hold On] was so strong that he killed the Sweet Cold Queen and the Burning Bug one after another.
Even the dancing bird had little energy left. Although it was immune to [Hold On], it was not immune to the sharp stone attacks of the earth dragon.
In the end, the dancer relied on the Carnival Wave Dance Duck, which turned into a water-attributed one after being crystallized, to defeat the M'K Eagle, which had turned into a crystal-like one.
[You defeated Aoki, the leader of the Jinhui Gym, and obtained the Jinhui Badge]
[You were treated by Aoki]
It seems to be Aoki's habit to treat the winning gym challengers to a meal, and judging from the way he paid, this treasure restaurant should not be opened by him.
