Arriving in front of the Black Gold Gym, Xiaozhi and Plantina stopped arguing.
One person is based on theoretical knowledge, and the other person is based on complete practical ideas. No one can convince the other.
The argument even got a bit over the top in the end, almost using Xiao Guang's brain as a battlefield and rolling up his sleeves to start a fight.
"Stop, stop, stop! The first gym has arrived!"
After arriving at the destination, Xiaoguang covered his buzzing head and stopped the two from continuing to argue.
Plantina calmed down a little. After all, they came from different worlds. Maybe the rules of operation of this world were different from what she remembered...
It’s better to check out the first gym to test the waters.
So Xiaozhi walked up the steps and knocked on the door.
The entire building of the Black Gold Gym is like a house embedded in a stone mountain, which makes it very special.
Squeak...!
Soon, the door opened, and a man wearing a safety helmet looked at the two people.
"We are here to challenge the Black Gold Gym!"
Xiaozhi did not reveal his identity as the inspector immediately, but seemed to challenge the new trainer of the gym.
"Oh, now Mr. Hyota is accepting challenges from other challengers..."
Hearing this, Xiaoguang also came closer and asked tentatively:
"Then can we sit around and watch?"
This was her first time to challenge the gym... She first looked at the other people's faces to prepare a little bit.
"It's okay, but remember not to disturb their battle... Then please come with me."
The helmeted man said with a smile, and then led the two of them into the Black Gold Gym.
After passing through a long corridor surrounded by potholes that looked like caves and stone passages, the two came to a competition venue.
Then he walked around in a low voice and sat in the spectator seat at the edge, then looked down at the arena below.
Similar to Nibi Gym, the Black Gold Gym Arena is also a rock-type gym, so the ground underfoot is naturally rocky.
At this moment, at the end of the hall where the leader was commanding, stood a man with glasses wearing work clothes, boots and gloves, and a red safety helmet.
The medium-length red hair sticks up on the back of her head, and she looks quite delicate—it is none other than Hyota, the owner of the hotel!
And the person who fights Hyota...
"Huh?"
Xiaozhi was surprised and surprised, but he didn't expect that this person was Shinji who he had just met not long ago.
It seems that the game has just begun, and neither of them has thrown the Poké Ball yet.
...
"Huh...?"
Soon, Hyota also noticed the two people who suddenly appeared in the spectator seats on Shinji's side.
Especially the Pikachu on Ash's shoulder.
A trainer with an electric rat, a specialty of the Kanto region? !
Hyota looked shocked. This guy looked so young. Could it be that he was the alliance-appointed inspector who was said to be coming to seize the gym?
This made Hyota subconsciously look to the other side of the spectator seats, where Xiaogang was sitting as a spectator.
"..."
Naturally, he also noticed Xiaozhi's arrival, and there was a cute girl next to him. It seemed that he was the new companion named "Xiaoguang".
However, Xiaogang was not in a hurry to recognize Xiaozhi.
After all, he informed Hyota about Ash's information through gossip.
If Hyota knew that he was actually good friends with Ash... wouldn't that be the same as revealing his secret?
"It's rare for Xiaozhi to ask me to help, so I'd better be more rigorous."
So Xiaogang looked at Xiaozhi in the distance and put on a calm expression.
As the best brother, Xiaozhi naturally understood it and did not scream or shout anything.
Then facing the questioning look from Laotai, Xiaogang looked solemnly again, and finally nodded his head solemnly.
"?!"
Laotai was shocked. A person cannot be judged by his appearance. Is this boy really that big monster? !
"..."
Seeing several Riddlers around, their eyes kept changing, which made Shinji, the challenger, confused.
Subconsciously, he turned his head and noticed the figures of Xiaozhi and Xiaoguang behind him.
The cold face made it impossible to tell what Shinji was thinking.
The next moment, the two people on the field threw the elf ball at the same time.
boom!
On Shinji's side is a blue and white water rat with slender ears and a curved ball tail. It looks very cute - Mariluli!
As for Hyota's side...according to his habit, in a 3v3 gym challenge, he usually sends out small fist stones as the first test.
But now the inspector is sitting on it, staring directly at him...
Hyotai gritted his teeth, quickly switched his target, and threw out the other Poké Ball in his hand.
Boom...!!
A red light flashed, and a huge and heavy figure landed in front of Hyota, causing the ground to tremble.
A large spherical body covered with countless rocks, with strong limbs and head stretched out...
This is the final evolved form of the Little Fist Stone, Rumble Rock!
Hyota plans to go all out from the beginning!
Shinji: "?"
His expression was a bit confused, and he wondered if the other party had thrown the wrong elf ball.
As far as he knew, the Black Gold Gym was the least difficult gym in the Sinnoh region, and it was very suitable for newcomers to challenge... but it turned out to be Rumble Rock?
"Only by fighting with all your strength can you be worthy of the name of the Black Gold Gym!"
However, Hyota didn't care about Shinji's confusion and shouted the gym's spiritual slogan.
The battle officially begins!
"Mariluri, use the wave of water!!"
Although he didn't know what happened, Shinji took the initiative to attack. After all, water-type moves still have a terrifying four times effect on Rumble Rock.
"Rumble Rock, use roll!"
However, Longlongyan immediately put away its limbs and head and turned into a large rock ball that began to roar and roll on the ground.
Rumble...! !
The power of the rolling is so powerful that it can even directly crush and break the incoming water waves, attacking the target with great force.
Whoosh! !
The speed of the huge rock ball was not slow at all. It hit Mariluli's face head-on and knocked the latter away on the spot.
"Now, use the rock blade!!"
Hyota's attack was like fire, and the rumble rock rolled up along the slope on the ground, released its ball state in mid-air, and stretched out its limbs and head.
Immediately, countless sharp rock blades condensed in front of him, and after a punch, they all shot in the direction in which Maliluli flew backwards.
Boom! !
As a violent explosion sounded, in the smoky ruins, this Mali Luli fell to the ground and completely lost its fighting ability.
The level gap is somewhat huge.
"Useless guy...!"
Seeing this, Shinji couldn't help but snorted and took back Mariluli.
Sure enough, the Pokémon caught casually on the roadside is completely unreliable... Just release it when you go out later.
