Because they had already passed through the cave once, when Bai Feng took Karuna here again this time, the Sonic Dragon and the Humbats did not block the way again, but happily let the two of them pass.
Grandma Maple looked surprised when she saw Bai Feng coming over again. She looked at Karuna next to Bai Feng and suddenly said with a straight face:
"Young man, you wouldn't just find someone to deal with me, would you?"
Hearing what Grandma Maple said, Karuna showed obvious panic on her face, fearing that she would leave a bad first impression on Grandma Maple.
Bai Feng quickly said: "How dare I? It's not up to you to decide whether you like him or not in the end? If you don't like him, what's the point of me finding someone at random?"
After hearing this, Grandma Maple's face returned to a kind look. She looked at Karuna and said, "Little girl, you should know why you are here today, right?"
Karuna took a deep breath and said: "I...I know, I will prove that I am suitable to be your disciple." Karuna was actually very nervous to be in such close contact with her idol.
Grandma Maple nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, she is a confident girl. I like confident people. What is the little girl's name?"
"My name is Karunai." Karunai replied as calmly as possible.
"Okay, Karuna." Grandma Maple turned around, "Follow me."
Under the leadership of Grandma Maple, Kalunai and Bai Feng were brought to a grassland. Grandma Maple picked up a wooden whistle hanging around her neck and blew hard.
"Jilu~"
A soft chirping sounded, and a Chinese Valentine's Day bluebird slowly landed in front of the three people.
The Tanabata Blue Bird nuzzled Grandma Maple with its head affectionately, and Grandma Maple also stroked its neck lovingly.
"Okay, okay, don't act like a spoiled brat all the time. Didn't you see that there are guests here?"
"Karunai, let's have a battle with the Tanabata Bluebird." After rubbing their ears and temples with the Tanabata Bluebird, Grandma Maple turned to look at Karunai and said.
"Yes!" Karuna said with a serious expression. Although she was going to fight against the champion's Pokémon, she was not afraid at all.
Grandma Maple nodded with satisfaction: "Then let's get started!"
"Jilu!"
The Tanabata bluebird chirped softly, fluttered its wings and flew to the center of the grass, looking at Karuna with an expression ready to go.
Kaluna walked over with determination, and with a flash of red light, Gardevoir appeared opposite the Tanabata Blue Bird.
"Shanai~"
Gardevoir's expression mirrored that of her trainer.
"Jilu~jilu."
The Tanabata bluebird flapped its wings gently and called twice confidently to Kalunai and Gardevoir.
When Bai Feng saw this, he reminded Kalunai: "Kalunai, Qixi Blue Bird wants you to attack first."
Grandma Maple looked at Bai Feng in surprise when she heard this: "You can actually understand Elvish." No wonder she had felt that this boy and Pokémon got along too well before, and it turned out that this was the root cause.
"Yes, I can understand a little bit." Bai Feng replied with a smile.
Grandma Maple just nodded and said nothing more.
Karuna didn't show any pretense after hearing Bai Feng's reminder. She was dealing with a Pokémon that was the league champion and she couldn't take it lightly.
"Gardevoir, seal!"
As Kalunai's voice sounded, Gardevoir's eyes suddenly flashed a red light, and then the same red light flashed across the Tanabata Blue Bird.
The effect of the seal is that if the opponent has the same move as you, then only the opponent cannot use that move.
Although Tanabata Blue Bird is a dragon-type and flying-type Pokémon, it can learn many powerful fairy-type skills. Gardevoir's move is equivalent to directly sealing all its fairy-type skills.
Because Gardevoir can basically learn all the fairy skills that Tanabata Blue Bird can learn.
At the same time, facing the fairy-type Gardevoir, all the dragon-type skills of Tanabata Blue Bird will also be invalid.
Tanabata Blue Bird has rich combat experience and instantly understood Karuna's plan, but it still seemed to be able to do it with ease.
"Jilu~"
I saw the Chinese Valentine's Day bluebird gently waving its wings, looking down at Gardevoir. The next second, the aura around it suddenly became violent, and turned into an afterimage and rushed towards Gardevoir.
Kalunai was shocked and shouted quickly: "Gardevoir, get out of the way!"
There was only a "boom" sound, and a big crater appeared on the green grass, and the flying soil exploded under the feet of the Qixi Bluebird.
Qixi Blue Bird used the flying skill Yan Hui.
Fortunately, Gardevoir reacted quickly and used teleportation to avoid it in time.
I saw Gardevoir's figure flashing rapidly, and suddenly there were more than a dozen identical Gardevoir around the Chinese Valentine's Day Blue Bird, surrounding the Chinese Valentine's Day Blue Bird.
This is the shadow clone.
"Gardevoir, scream!"
All the Gardevoirs could be heard suddenly made a harsh cry, and the cries kept echoing among the dozens of Gardevoirs, making it impossible for the Qixi Bluebird to tell who was the real one.
The cry can reduce the opponent's attack, but this effect is only incidental to Karuna.
"Jilu~"
Probably annoyed by Gardevoir's cry, the Tanabata Blue Bird roared angrily, then opened its mouth and spit out a blue ray that swept out.
All of Gardevoir's phantoms disappeared under the frozen beam of the Qixi Blue Bird.
But the next second, as Gardevoir's figure flickered again, the phantom appeared again.
I have to say that the teleportation skill is really easy to use, but it is a bit too mana-intensive. Gardevoir has only used it twice, and he is already breathing slightly.
"Gardevoir, secret word."
Kalunai's voice sounded again, Gardevoir's lips began to move rapidly, and countless intensive verbal harassments rang in Qixi Bluebird's ears.
These words even came with spiritual blessings. Except for the Tanabata Blue Bird in the venue, Bai Feng, Grandma Maple, and even Karuna didn't know what Gardevoir was talking about.
The Qixi Bluebird felt like there were countless bugs buzzing in its ears, and its head was about to explode.
"Jilu!!!"
The Qixi Blue Bird began to roar, became manic, and lost its mind. When it opened its mouth, a dragon wave swept out, but Gardevoir was immune to dragon-type skills.
In the center of the smoke screen caused by the explosion, Gardevoir stood there intact.
The effect of Secret Word is to reduce the opponent's special attack, but it also has a hidden effect, which is to reduce the opponent's concentration.
This is what Kaluna wants, including the previous use of shouts, which is also the purpose.
No one noticed that from the beginning, Gardevoir's eyes kept flashing with an imperceptible purple light.
Suddenly, the roaring Tanabata Blue Bird stopped moving, its mania and anger disappeared, and its eyes became dull and lifeless.
Seeing this scene, Karuna smiled.
Bai Feng, on the other hand, looked confused.
Grandma Maple explained: "It's hypnosis."
Bai Feng suddenly realized what he said.
The success rate of hypnosis is not high, especially when there is a huge strength gap between Gardevoir and Tanabata Blue Bird, so if you want hypnosis to hit, you must find another way.
All the disturbances created by Kalunai are preparations for hypnosis.
As for why Karuna chose to use the skill of hypnosis, it was because she knew the huge gap between Gardevoir and Tanabata Blue Bird.
Under normal circumstances, it is absolutely impossible for Gardevoir to win, even if Gardevoir has already taken advantage of attributes, and even if Qixi Blue Bird has tried its best to suppress its strength.
Seeing that the hypnosis spell was successful, Karuna finally smiled. It was time to start attacking!
"Gardevoir, the power of the moon!"
"Shauna!"
All the phantoms of Gardevoir disappeared, and a full moon appeared behind Gardevoir's real body. The next second, a thick silver beam of light was controlled by Gardevoir and shot towards the Qixi Blue Bird.
boom! ! !
With a loud noise, the figure of the Qixi Blue Bird was submerged in the smoke screen.
But the smile on Karuna's face disappeared in the next second.
"Jilu!!!"
The smoke screen suddenly exploded. After a long cry, the Tanabata Blue Bird soared into the sky from inside. It stared angrily at Gardevoir and Kaluna below, as if it would burn them to ashes with jets of flames in the next second.
At this moment, both Karuna and Gardevoir felt as if they were locked by some terrifying existence, and a chill couldn't help but surge into their hearts.
Gardevoir's full blow did not cause much damage to the Qixi Blue Bird, and even woke up the Qixi Blue Bird who was controlled by hypnosis...
This result was not in line with Kalunai's expectations.
Bang bang bang!
At this time, Grandma Maple clapped her hands.
"Okay, that's it."
Hearing Grandma Maple's words, the Qixi Blue Bird's aura suddenly evaporated. The previous anger completely disappeared, and it just landed next to Grandma Maple with an aggrieved look on its face, and kept acting coquettishly towards her.
"Okay, okay, who can you blame if you don't pay attention?" Grandma Maple patted the Tanabata Blue Bird's neck lovingly.
Both Kalunai and Gardevoir let out a long sigh of relief at this moment. The Chinese Valentine's Day bluebird just now was really scary.
"Let's go play." After appeasing the Chinese Valentine's Day bluebird, Grandma Maple waved her hand, and the Chinese Valentine's Day bluebird flew into the sky again and disappeared.
"Little girl, come here."
Grandma Maple waved to Karuna, who walked to her obediently with Gardevoir.
"good."
Grandma Maple smiled and praised Karuna.
Because Karuna did not accept the test of the Sonic Dragon in the cave, she wanted to test Karuna's strength. Unexpectedly, Karuna's performance exceeded her expectations.
Although Grandma Maple didn't particularly value talent, she didn't have any requirements at all. At least in terms of talent, the little girl in front of her was completely qualified.
Hearing Grandma Maple's compliment, Karuna had a bright smile on her face. Although the compliment only had two words, she was already very satisfied.
"Come with me." Grandma Maple said to Karuna again.
The test of strength is only the first step. Whether Karuna can become Grandma Maple's disciple will continue to be tested.
Just like what Grandma Maple said to Bai Feng before, talent is not the most important thing. What matters is whether the tester and Grandma Maple can get along.
Bai Feng and Karuna followed Grandma Maple all the way back home, but just when Bai Feng was about to follow them in, Grandma Maple suddenly turned back and said:
"You don't have to come in."
Forehead……
Bai Feng looked depressed, "What are you doing? It's not something shameful. Why don't you let me in?"
Bai Feng really wanted to see how Grandma Maple would continue to test Karuna. He didn't want to watch the excitement, but simply wanted to know the results as soon as possible.
The big-mouthed kid who was following Grandma Maple stopped directly in front of the door, glaring at Bai Feng with an expression that said if you dare to come in, I'll beat you up.
"Okay, okay, I won't go in."
Bai Feng quickly waved his hand and retreated out of the door.
At this time, Orchid Mantis came over. It smiled and waved to Bai Feng, and invited Bai Feng to the backyard. There was a fruit tree here with tables and chairs under the tree. This should be the place where Grandma Maple usually stayed.
Orchid Mantis invited Bai Feng to sit down, brought him a plate of fruits, and made him a cup of fragrant tea.
"La la~ la la~ la~" Just sit here and wait. You can do whatever you want, or you can chat with me.
Bai Feng was moved by the gentle orchid mantis. Compared with the big-mouthed baby, the orchid mantis is simply a little angel!
Bai Feng sat in the backyard for more than three hours before Lan Manhua notified Grandma Maple and Karuna that they had come out.
Bai Feng ran over quickly and saw Kalunai sitting on the steps in front of the door with an expressionless face, and his heart couldn't help but "thump".
"What's wrong? It didn't work?" Bai Feng asked cautiously, for fear of accidentally making Karuna cry.
Kalunai looked up at Bai Feng blankly, a bright smile suddenly bloomed on his face, then he stood up and gave Bai Feng a big hug.
"Bai Feng! I succeeded, I became the disciple of Maple Champion!"
"Really?" Bai Feng said in surprise.
"Really, really!" Kalunai hugged Bai Feng and jumped as hard as she could. She was a little taller than Bai Feng, so she almost knocked Bai Feng unconscious with such a jump.
"That's great!!!"
Bai Feng was equally excited. Kalunai succeeded, which meant that he could get the ancient crown.
At this time, Grandma Maple walked out of the house. She glanced at the two of them and said, "What are you two doing there? Come in and eat!"
Like a pair of frightened little rabbits, Bai Feng and Kalunai quickly let go of each other. They looked at the time and found that it was indeed time for lunch.
Grandma Maple made lunch again, and Bai Feng felt much more relaxed when eating this time.
After getting her favorite disciple, Grandma Maple's rules became more easy-going, which made Bai Feng call her a double standard in his heart. If you become a disciple, you are like a baby bump, and everyone else is just a weed on the roadside.
Grandma Maple: Otherwise?
After lunch, Grandma Maple took the initiative to ask Bai Feng: "You said before that you wanted to ask me for help. What was it about?"
"I heard you have an ancient crown in your hand, and I thought..."
Bai Feng told Grandma Maple about Brimwen and asked her to give him the ancient crown.
"No matter what your request is, I can agree to it, as long as you are willing to give me the ancient crown." Bai Feng said sincerely.
Grandma Maple suddenly realized: "So you want this." No wonder she always felt something was wrong when she looked at the boy's Brimwin before.
After saying that, she got up and walked into the bedroom. After a while, she came out with a brocade box.
"This thing is just a collection to me. Since you have helped me find an apprentice as agreed, then it is yours. I have no other requirements."
"Thank you so much."
Bai Feng quickly took the brocade box and opened it eagerly, only to see a palm-sized silver crown lying inside. The crown was inlaid with red gems, like a beautiful work of art.
At the same time, Bai Feng also noticed that there was a mysterious power faintly exuding on it. It was probably because of this unknown power that it was able to help Brimwen suppress his mental power.
Now that he had obtained the ancient crown, Bai Feng immediately released Brimwen.
"Brimwen, look, I have obtained the ancient crown, you don't have to worry now."
As long as he obtains the ancient crown and successfully suppresses Brimwen's mental power, it will not be so urgent to find props to accelerate the accumulation of fairy energy.
"Lim~Lim~"
Brimwen expressed her gratitude to Bai Feng with tears in her eyes, and it silently remembered Bai Feng's efforts in treating it.
"Let me put it on for you." Bai Feng said.
"Lim~"
Brimwen nodded.
Bai Feng put the ancient crown on Brimwen's witch hat. The crown was placed in the center of the witch's hat, like a decorative ring, giving Brimwen a little more nobility.
"It's beautiful." Bai Feng praised sincerely.
"Lim~"
Brimwen smiled shyly. The moment he put on the ancient crown, he felt his head suddenly became clearer.
Although it seemed fine before, its brain always felt chaotic and it was difficult to concentrate.
That feeling is completely gone now.
