A few days later.
Xiaozhi and the other three returned to Karnaz City, and then without stopping, they went straight through the Kalu Tunnel in the east.
This is a long, narrow and straight road with no forks...but there are still broken rocks all around, and it seems that it has just been opened not long ago.
There are no other Pokémon in this cave, but there are a large number of Goonuniu inhabiting it.
It seems that the Pokémon was attracted by the blasting noises made during the construction work in the past few months.
"Gu Niuniu...?"
This actually reminded Xiaozhi of Shijana's Goonuniu, which seemed to be a Pokémon that used sound to fight.
However, seeing a group of Gu Niuniu taking a nap in peace, the three of them did not try to capture them, but chose to sneak through the cave quickly.
This is a matryoshka Pokémon. Frights and screams can provide unlimited positive feedback...
Walking out of the cave, a warm breeze blew on the faces of the three people.
"call...!"
Xiaozhi couldn't help but take a deep breath, feeling that the air outside the cave was very fresh.
As soon as you see it, the ground is full of green, with extremely high vegetation coverage, which is very eye-catching.
Not far away, surrounded by a field of lawns, is a small town that doesn't look too big, and you can see the head at a glance.
There are only about a few households here, which is even 1/2 smaller than the size of Zhenxin Town.
Even the ground in the town is covered with soft lawn.
"Didi. Green Town is famous for its refreshing air and is known as the most livable town in the Fangyuan region."
When we arrived at the new map, the illustrated guide made an automatic announcement.
The three of them suddenly became curious and hurriedly walked forward, officially entering this small town...
...
Click! ! Click! !
At this moment, there seemed to be some kind of celebration going on in an open square on the edge of the town, with ribbons of fireworks constantly shooting into the air.
In midair, there were still many flying Pokémon, flying rapidly and performing all kinds of fancy flying stunts.
Especially on the elevated shelves that can be seen everywhere, the top line has a forked hook.
Bang~!
These flying Pokémon are holding a small ring in their mouths. As they fly, they finally put the ring firmly into the hook, making a crisp sound.
"This is...?"
Ash and the other three looked curious. This looks like some kind of Pokémon sport?
There is even a dog fighting contest on Chimney Mountain. Xiaozhi won't find it strange if there is any strange flying contest now.
"This is the Pokémon Ring Contest. It is held every year in Shade Town."
At this time, a rather familiar voice suddenly came from behind.
The tone was soft and weak, which made Xiaozhi and the others turn their heads subconsciously.
When he saw it, he saw a young man with green hair and a thin body.
He was wearing light-colored long-sleeved trousers, but the clothes seemed roomy and baggy.
On the shoulder, there was a chubby blue bird, with snow-white cotton-like wings folded on both sides.
"Isn't this full?!"
Xiaozhi said in surprise, recognizing the boy he had met once in Chenghua City that day.
The latter even made a bet with his parents on whether he could travel on his own strength... But the latter's energetic face showed that there was no need to worry at all.
"Haha, long time no see you three."
Manchong smiled gently and greeted the three of them.
"Gugu~!"
The blue cotton bird on the shoulder took off and circled for a week before landing on Man Chong's head.
He had completed his mission long ago and successfully reached Greenshade Town within a month.
Just because the local Pokémon Circle was about to be held, Manchon wanted to participate, so he temporarily stayed in this town.
"But I've collected three badges!"
Manchun proudly showed his badge to Xiaozhi. The type was the same as Xiaozhi's, but without the badges from the Orange Blossom Gym and the Martial Arts Gym.
Although he had been waiting for a long time in Green Shade Town, Manchun simply used this city base to challenge the three surrounding gyms.
A few months ago, Manchong would have never dared to imagine that a trainer would travel around and have adventures like this.
"Oh, then we will be our opponents in the next Caiyou Tournament!"
Xiaozhi said without thinking.
"The opponent..."
Hearing this, Manchong turned red and looked nervous.
Then he tried to stay calm and looked at Xiaozhi seriously, looking high-spirited.
"Yes, we are rivals!"
But now he only has three badges. After this ring competition is over, he must start conquering the gym non-stop, otherwise he may not even be able to qualify for the Alliance Conference...
...
Manchi took the three of them to the local Pokémon Center and introduced the Pokémon Ring Contest to several people.
"It's a coincidence that you are here. The Ring Contest is held tomorrow. The participating Pokémon are not limited to flying Pokémon, as long as they can fly smoothly."
Pokémon like the three-in-one Magnemite can be used.
If there really is a three-in-one magnet monster with steel + electric attributes, it will indeed be the most troublesome existence in the world.
"The rules are very simple. When the game starts, a hot air balloon with a ring will rise in the sky, and the player's Pokémon will compete for the ring in the air, and then throw it into a specific elevated hook. If you go up, you win."
Hearing this, Xiaozhi immediately became interested, which meant that he could have a dogfight with other Pokémon!
His proud swallow can have a good fight!
"It's not that simple. On the outskirts of Green Shade Town, there will be strong air currents from time to time, which will affect the movements of flying Pokémon..."
Manchong explained seriously that he was half a person from Green Shade Town.
These airflows are naturally formed and have no rules... they can only be predicted a few seconds in advance through minute details.
Especially at this time of year, the frequency and intensity of random airflow are the highest.
That's why Shade Town holds this Pokémon Ring Contest every year at this time.
"Is there still such a thing?"
Xiaozhi nodded repeatedly, and then looked at the other two people beside him.
"How about Xiaolan, Xiaogang, do you also want to participate?"
Xiaogang refused without even thinking about it.
"My Crossbat didn't bring anything with me, and now it's covered in floor-level Pokémon."
And as far as he knew, the profession with the highest proportion in Green Shade Town was not trainers... but breeders.
It's a good time to exchange ideas on Pokémon cultivation with the locals.
On the road just now, he had already seen several breeder sisters...
"A flying Pokémon?"
Xiaolan frowned slightly, her mind spinning.
She now carries a flying Pokémon with her, so she is fully qualified to compete.
But using Flamebird to participate in Pokémon Ring...
Is there something wrong?
