On the way between Nibi City and Viridian Forest.
Team Rocket had already dug a huge hole seven to eight meters deep in the middle of the road, then set up branches and covered the surface of the hole with the surrounding sand, grass and leaves.
Everything was as usual, nothing out of the ordinary.
"A seamless trap!"
"Yes, you will fall into the trap when the little devil comes over!"
"Then that strange Pikachu will be ours, nya!"
The Rocket trio put their hands on their hips and smiled triumphantly, almost not celebrating in advance.
Smiling, Kojiro suddenly paused and asked:
"By the way, where was our trap just now?"
The other two people immediately frowned.
Because the trap was so seamless, even they couldn't recognize it, so they quickly started looking for it.
"I remember it was here..."
Among the three, Meow Meow, who was the most thoughtful, came to the middle of the road while searching for his memory.
Click!
There was a sound of branches breaking.
The trap hole was instantly exposed from the mud, and Meow Meow slid straight into it.
"Musashi save me!"
Panicked, Meow Meow grabbed Musashi's thigh next to him, and with the subsequent force, he dragged Musashi down the pit.
"Kojiro, save me!"
Musashi followed suit and dragged Kojiro by the thigh, then dragged him in too.
Soon, the three of them fell completely into the pit without any splash.
Outside the pit, everything seemed as if nothing had happened...
...
3 minutes later.
A handsome boy and a pretty girl passed by.
"Hey, why is there a big hole in the middle of the road?"
Xiaozhi stopped and wondered.
"There are no safety signs. It's very dangerous."
Xiaoxia looked into the deep pit. It was pitch black, but there seemed to be faint shadows crawling out, like insects.
This made her tremble and she quickly suggested:
"Why don't you fill it out...?"
"Easy to understand."
Ash nodded and threw a Poke Ball.
"The decision is yours, Bibi Bird, use Flying Sand Kicks."
After appearing on the stage, Bibi bird turned around and used the standard action of dog pawing.
Wow wow wow...! !
With a kick of his hind legs, all the surrounding sand was swept into the deep pit.
In less than three minutes, the entrance to the cave was completely blocked.
Everything is back to before.
The light of righteousness then shone warmly on their faces.
So the two of them happily hit the road again...
...
...
Nibi City intersection.
Xiaozhi was walking when he suddenly heard a low shout, which made him back away in shock.
"Hey! Young man, you stepped on my pickle stone!"
This is a middle-aged man wearing a red knitted hat, covering most of his face, revealing dark skin and two muscular arms.
Xiaozhi looked down and realized that he was stepping on a strange-shaped stone with a price tag on it.
Looking around, I saw all kinds of strange-shaped stones with various price tags on them.
"Nibi City is a city that symbolizes rocks...!"
The middle-aged man said leisurely, quite proudly.
Seeing this, Xiaozhi couldn't help but ask:
"Uncle, who are you?"
Before the middle-aged man could answer, Xiaoxia took the lead.
"I understand, you must be the league champion of the Fangyuan region, Mr. Daigo!"
She heard that Dawu was also obsessed with old stones.
However, Xiaoxia doesn't know much about it, and she blindly guesses that Dawu who likes stones must be a dark-skinned middle-aged uncle, right?
"League champion?"
Ash looked confused. Who is the league champion? Is it more powerful than his Pokémon Master?
By the way, isn't the Hoenn area the area where Rayquazas are everywhere and there are so many of them that they are no more than dogs?
The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows and explained:
"Little girl, I am not Dawu, my name is Wu Neng..."
"Didi. User: Wu Neng, data query is in progress..."
At this time, a mechanical sound interrupted his self-introduction.
This is where the illustrated book begins to show off its presence again.
After a while, the mechanical sound came again.
"Didi, the information has been updated."
"Wu Neng, with a registered permanent residence in Nibi City, was the former leader of the Nibi Gym. He has now resigned as the gym leader and challenged the Elf League alone. He has challenged the League for twenty years and has never won the championship. His best result is The runner-up of the Kalos Region Elf Alliance.”
"Twenty years!?"
Hearing this, both Xiaozhi and Xiaoxia were shocked.
Especially Xiaozhi, for some reason, when he heard the word that he had not won the championship for twenty years, he couldn't help but feel a chill, which spread from his feet to his whole body, as if his whole body had been intoxicated by ice water.
A sense of trance came to my mind.
He was shaking with anger...?
Even Chi deep in his soul was frightened by this chill.
"Is it the resentment of another world...?"
Chi Ming was stunned and secretly surprised.
Wu Neng even frowned, secretly wondering what the hell this illustrated book was, why did it feel like he had been stripped naked when he saw him face to face? Has the alliance's black technology reached this level now?
Or is it because I challenged too many times and was blacklisted...?
...
"By the way, Gym Leader, what does it mean to challenge the alliance?"
Xiaozhi couldn't help but ask.
He is still a newbie who doesn't understand the world.
"You are still a novice trainer, so let me explain to you..."
Before Wu Neng could finish his words, he was intercepted by the Elf Illustrated Book again.
"Didi, a keyword has been detected. Now is the time for popular science."
This is its own job and no one else is allowed to take advantage of it.
"Didi. Each region has a large number of gyms. If you defeat the gym leader, you can get a badge. If you collect eight badges, you can challenge the Elf Alliance Conference in your region."
"When you become the winner of an alliance conference, you can challenge the king of the Elf Alliance. If you defeat four kings in succession, you can challenge the strongest person in the Elf Alliance, the alliance champion!"
Xiaozhi rubbed his head. He didn't understand this whole series of words at all, and couldn't help complaining:
"What the hell, can you briefly summarize it in four words?"
Picture book: "Didi. Be a good person."
"..."
"Oh, for a beginner like you, just hit the gym, get 8 badges, and then challenge the alliance tournament."
Xiaoxia couldn't help but interrupt and explain.
Hearing this, Xiaozhi suddenly realized and patted the scrap metal in his hand:
"Oh, I understand this. Illustrated Master, you should learn the art of speaking."
Pokédex: "..."
Wu Neng: "..."
This trainer seems to be even more outrageous than this illustrated book.
"Speaking of which, little brother, are you ready to challenge our Nibi Gym?"
Hearing this, Xiaozhi trembled and slapped his chest suddenly, looking extremely confident.
"That's natural!"
Becoming the League Tournament Champion is the first step towards becoming a Pokémon Master!
"Haha, but I think it's a bit difficult for your elf to defeat the gym leader Xiaogang..."
Wu Neng pointed to Pikachu on the latter's shoulder.
A bad electric rat obviously can't conquer the rock gym.
"I also have Bibi Bird, Armored Chrysalis!"
Xiaozhi quickly retorted.
Hearing this, Wu Neng frowned deeply. Is this trainer careless? How come he only picks people with negative attributes?
"Ahem, with all due respect, you have already lost in terms of attribute restraint..."
"Attribute restraint? What is that?"
Xiaozhi didn't take it seriously and waved his hand casually:
"Elf fighting requires a fighting spirit that refuses to admit defeat and a perseverance! Right, Pikachu!"
"Pickup!"
Pikachu nodded, indicating that what Xiaozhi said made sense.
Wu Neng, Xiaoxia: "..."
"No matter what, I can definitely defeat that Xiaogang. Uncle, please help me lead the way to Nibi Gym. No one will buy your stones anyway."
Wu Neng frowned. Although he was intimidated, he still brought Xiaozhi to the door of Nibi Gym.
He had no other purpose, he just wanted to get closer to here.
But he felt that Wu Yan didn’t dare to approach the gym in front of him.
Only by guiding the new trainer did he have a legitimate reason to approach.
Xiaozhi didn't think much. After arriving at his destination, he pushed directly into the gym.
With his hands on his hips, he roared loudly into the air inside, extremely high-spirited and full of ambition.
Young people should be so daring!
"Hey, hey, hey, I'm Xiaozhi from Zhenxin Town. My dream is to become a Pokémon Master. I want to challenge the gym!"
...
3 minutes later.
Xiaozhi carried the dying Pikachu to the Elf Center in Nibi City...
