Chapter 991 Gym Tournament Experience

The next morning, Professor Kukui drove everyone to their destination, the Cerulean Gym.

After several years of development, the Cerulean Gym has undergone tremendous changes and is no longer the aquarium it once was.

Now, under Xiaoxia's takeover and careful management, the Hualan Gym has become one of the top gyms in the entire Kanto Gym. The exterior of the building is magnificent and the internal facilities are also very complete.

Not only that, the battle field of Hualan Gym has also been fully upgraded. When everyone walked into the gate, they saw a huge rocky venue, and the huge surrounding rockery was amazing.

Lilia and the others were stunned. They had never seen such a scene before.

Just then, Mamane suddenly shouted, "Look, what's that?"

Everyone looked in the direction of his finger, and saw a Psyduck walking back and forth in the center of the battlefield, shaking its head.

"Wow, so cute!" Shui Lian immediately exclaimed in admiration.

This Psyduck is no ordinary Pokémon, it is known as the "Duck God"! It ignores the concept of level and is so powerful that it is comparable to Pikachu.

Seeing this, Xiaoxia quickly ran to Panda Duck and said, "I'm back, Panda Duck. Thank you for helping me look after the house."

Although Psyduck still looks stupid, it has become very reliable now. Seeing this, Pikachu and Gang's Geodude immediately rushed forward excitedly to greet Psyduck.

Xiaozhi and Professor Kukui also came forward, with Xiaoxia and Xiaogang standing on either side of them. Professor Kukui smiled and spoke first, "Let me introduce her to you again. This is Xiaoxia, the owner of the Cerulean Gym. She is very good at using Water Pokémon!"

Xiaoxia nodded to everyone and said with a smile: "Please give me your advice!"

Then, Professor Kukui pointed at Xiao Gang and introduced him: "This is Xiao Gang, the former owner of the Nibi Gym. He is good at using Rock-attribute Pokémon!"

At this point, Dr. Kukui's voice suddenly became excited, as if his own fighting spirit was also ignited, "Today, you will join them in a Pokémon battle, just like 'Explosion Flame', to start a fierce and exciting burning duel!"

Xiaozhi then added: "In the Kanto region, trainers will go to various Pokémon gyms to challenge the gym leaders. As long as you defeat the gym leader in the battle, you can get the gym badge!"

After saying that, Xiaoxia and Xiaogang took out their blue badges and gray badges with a smile and showed them in front of everyone.

"As long as you collect eight badges, you can challenge the Pokémon League!" Xiaozhi continued with a smile, "Then at the Pokémon League Conference where there are so many masters, you can compete for the strongest champion!"

"Then, everyone, hurry up and practice with Xiaoxia and Xiaogang!" Dr. Kukui smiled and swept his eyes over everyone present, encouraging them: "Who wants to go first?"

Before she finished her words, Shui Lian quickly raised her hand, "I! I really want to fight Xiao Xia!"

Mao, Shui Lian's good sister, saw this and raised her hand without showing any weakness, "And me, I want to fight Xiao Xia too!"

At this time, Mamane stood up, his eyes determined, "I want to fight Xiaogang!"

Kachi nodded beside him, "Me too."

However, Lilia seemed a little hesitant. She hugged Bai Gungun and said hesitantly: "As for me... I don't know what to choose..."

After some discussion, everyone quickly made arrangements. "Okay, it's decided!"

Shui Lian and Maou stood in front of Xiaoxia, and Xiaoxia sent out Psyduck. "Come on, don't be polite, just use your full strength!"

Mao and Shui Lian looked at each other, encouraged each other, and then shouted in unison: "Then, let's go!"

Mao directed Tian Wu Ni, and called out in a sweet voice: "Tian Wu Ni, magic leaf!"

I saw Tian Wu Ni dancing lightly, and countless leaves gathered around it, forming a green whirlwind, sweeping straight towards Pikachu.

At the same time, Shui Lian also gave the order: "Ball Sea Lion, Bubble Ray!"

The Puff Sea Lion took a deep breath and then released a beam of blue and white foam towards Psyduck.

The two attacks hit Psyduck hard, and poor Psyduck was knocked to the ground before it could react.

However, just when everyone thought that Psyduck had been defeated, Xiaoxia commanded without hesitation, "Psyduck, water gun!"

The moment it received the order, Psyduck suddenly showed a serious expression. It quickly jumped up from the ground, opened its mouth and spit out a stream of water, rushing straight towards the Puffy Sea Lion.

The reaction speed of the Puffy Sea Lion was extremely fast. Its balloon had been fully trained and it directly sucked in all the water sprayed by Psyduck. Moreover, the balloon did not show any signs of bursting.

"This move is really quite good!" Xiaoxia spoke highly of the skill displayed by Shui Lian. She herself is proficient in water-type Pokémon, so she can appreciate the subtlety of it even more. "So what are you going to do next?"

Shui Lian raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a confident smile, and gave the order without hesitation: "Balloon, launch!"

I saw the sea lion quickly throwing the huge balloon filled with water towards Psyduck, as fast as lightning.

Poor Psyduck had no time to react and was hit by the sudden water ball. He was instantly submerged in the water ball and trapped in the water.

"Shui Lian and her sea lions are very powerful once they use their balloon moves!"

Although Psyduck is a water Pokémon, it has a fatal weakness - it is a landlubber! Faced with such a dilemma, Xiaoxia was not worried at all, "It is really powerful, but my Psyduck will become stronger when it encounters a crisis! Psyduck, use telekinesis!"

However, Psyduck just tilted its head in the water and stood there in a daze!

This undoubtedly gave Mao and her Pokémon a great opportunity. Mao saw this and quickly seized the opportunity and gave the order: "One more time, use the magic leaf!"

I saw countless leaves shining with green light rushing towards Psyduck like raindrops. These leaves seemed to have eyes and hit Psyduck accurately.

Not only that, these magic leaves also broke the water ball that trapped Psyduck, causing it to fall out of the water and land headfirst on the rocky field.

Shui Lian and Mao were shocked when they saw this, "Oh, it looks like it was hurt a lot from the fall?"

However, Xiaozhi and Xiaogang standing by looked at each other, and smiled at the same time. They are very familiar with Psyduck, and Psyduck's true strength is revealed!

At this moment, Psyduck, which had originally closed its eyes, suddenly opened them again. A fierce light flashed in its eyes, and at the same time, a powerful telekinesis gushed out from it, turning into a blue light that enveloped Sweet Dancer and Ball Sea Lion.

Before Tian Wuni and Qiuqiu Sea Lion even had time to react, they were grabbed tightly by this powerful mental force and flew straight into the air as if they were lifted up by an invisible big hand.

The winner has been decided, and Shui Lian and Mao obviously do not have enough power to break free from Psyduck's telekinesis. Faced with this sudden change, they can only watch their Pokémon being suspended in the air, helpless.

"Okay, Psyduck, you can put Sweet Dancer and Balloon down now!" Seeing this, Xiaoxia clapped her hands to signal Psyduck to come back to its senses.

Hearing Xiaoxia's call, the fierce light in Panda's eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by a cute and adorable look. It released its telekinesis, allowing Tian Wu Ni and Qiu Qiu Hai Shi to slowly float back to the ground.

"Mao, Suiren, you two have a very good sense of battle!"

When Mao heard Xiaoxia's praise, he smiled a little embarrassedly, while Shuilian clenched her fists tightly, as if she had gained some confidence because of Xiaoxia's affirmation.

It was not until this time that Psyduck felt a sharp pain in his head, and he couldn't help but cry out "Wow". This sudden situation scared Shuilian and Mao.

"What's wrong with it?" Shui Lian asked in surprise.

"Uh..." Xiaoxia scratched her head awkwardly and explained with a wry smile, "It just hit its head and it hurts now."

As she said that, she quickly hugged Psyduck into her arms and gently rubbed its head. Looking at Psyduck's pitiful appearance, Shuilian liked it very much, "Psyduck is really amazing!"

"Yeah, you think so too, right? It's really super cute!" Xiaoxia laughed happily. Now she also likes Psyduck very much.

After their battle, it was finally Xiaogang's turn to take the field with his Geodude. "Okay, now it's our turn to show off our skills!"

According to the tactics that Xiaozhi and the others had discussed before, the next duo to fight against Xiaogang will be Mamane and Liliae.

However, what was unexpected was that at the beginning of the game, Mamane, a technical geek, made a serious mistake. He confidently let Togedemaru use the pricking attack on Geodude, but Geodude did not react at all.

“Why? Geodude is clearly of rock and electricity attributes. Logically, electric skills should be effective against it!” Mamane looked at Geodude in front of him with astonishment.

Apparently he hadn't realized that this was no longer the Alola region he was familiar with, and yesterday's class was completely forgotten by him.

Xiao Gang did not show any impatience when he heard this. He still explained with a smile: "The Geodude you are talking about is indeed a rock and electric attribute, but it is the Geodude from your Alola region."

"In the Kanto region, Geodude's attributes are rock and ground, so electric-type skills won't work on it."

After hearing Xiaogang's explanation, Mamane finally woke up from his dream. He slapped his forehead in regret and blamed himself: "Oh, how could I forget the regional form?!"

Now, facing the Geodude with the ground attribute, his Togedemaru's strength has been greatly reduced, and now he probably can't even exert one tenth of his original strength.

At this time, Liliae showed an extremely determined look in her eyes, "Mama, don't lose heart, leave it to us next! Bai Gungun, use Fine Snow!"

After receiving the order, Bai Gungun immediately used the Fine Snow. After Xiaozhi's careful training, this move had become quite powerful.

However, despite this, its strength is still far behind that of Gon's Geodude.

"Front Rock, use Gyro Ball!" Seeing this, Xiaogang gave the order calmly.

However, Xiaogang actually used the gyroscope as a high-speed rotation skill. The Fist Rock spun rapidly, creating a strong gust of wind that blew away the white snow without a trace.

This move was beyond Mamane and Liliae's expectations. "The Gyro Ball can actually be used like this?! Isn't this an offensive move?"

"Depending on the training method, the Gyro Ball can also be used in this way." Xiaogang couldn't help laughing when he heard it. He raised his head and looked at Xiaozhi in the audience. "In fact, we all learned this fighting method from someone!"

When everyone heard what Xiaogang said, they naturally noticed his eyes, so they all looked in the direction he was looking, and finally their eyes fell on Xiaozhi.

At this time, Professor Kukui took the opportunity to teach, "Students, how do you feel? Did you experience the mystery of Pokémon from this battle just now?"

Dr. Kukui paused and continued, "The world of Pokémon is very colorful. They have different attributes and moves. By cleverly combining these characteristics and combining them with different training methods, there will be endless possibilities for battles!"

After listening to what Dr. Kukui said, Mamane reflected, "And if you don't know the details of the other Pokémon beforehand, it's easy to make mistakes like I did just now!"

"Very good!" Xiaozhi showed a gratified smile on his face. He was quite satisfied with everyone's performance today.

At this moment, Kachi suddenly stood up impatiently. Perhaps because he had been watching the battle for too long, his fighting spirit was ignited at this moment. "Xiaozhi, it's my turn next, right? I want to have a one-on-one duel with Xiaogang!"

Misty stood up to the referee's table and announced, "Well, the one-on-one showdown between Kachi and Brock begins now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Kachi's fighting spirit was like the eruption of Mount Vera, and he shouted loudly: "When it comes to fighting, I still have some confidence!"

Xiaogang felt Kachi's momentum and showed a serious look, "It's really exciting. What the gym leader wants to see is not only the victory or defeat, but more importantly, the tacit cooperation between Pokémon and trainers."

"Now that you say that, I'm even more confident!" Kachi threw the Poké Ball first without hesitation, "Turtlemon, come out!"

"This is the partner I choose!" Xiaogang threw out the Poké Ball right after him. With a roar, a huge steel beast crashed onto the rocky mountain field.

This time, Xiaogang also showed his true strength, using Xiaogang's original Pokémon - Steelix!
