Early next morning.
As expected, the accident at the Green Field Cup caused a huge commotion, and all major TV stations in Rainbow City broadcast the relevant news. Naturally, these disturbances did not involve Xiaoye, the "party in question" - Xiaoye left the Pokémon Center and walked towards the Rainbow Gym as soon as the sky lightened up.
As one of the super metropolises, Rainbow City naturally gathers a large number of trainers. Like the Golden Gym, the Rainbow Gym also requires an advance reservation to challenge. Xiaoye's appointment time is today, March 10, at 8 a.m.
Rainbow Gym [Japanese: Tamamushi_Gym, English: Celadon_Gym] is located on "Garden Avenue", one of the main roads in Rainbow City. There are many perfume shops here, and the most famous one has perfume formulas provided by the shop owner Li Jia herself. It can increase the intimacy between trainers and Pokémon and is an excellent prop.
Diagonally opposite the Rainbow Gym is one of the famous "Four Trainers' Courts", Rainbow Public University.
For trainers who want to take the academic route, Rainbow University can be described as a holy land. After challenging the Rainbow Gym, many people will choose to visit Rainbow University to experience the atmosphere of the top universities in the country.
However, Xiaoye is really bad at so-called "academics". After taking a distant look at the gate of Rainbow University, Xiaoye looked away and knocked on the door of Rainbow Gym.
The girl in kimono opened the door, confirmed Xiaoye's reservation voucher, and introduced Xiaoye into the room.
The overall building of the Rainbow Gym is a greenhouse, and the outer envelope is entirely composed of glass curtain walls. Natural light passes through the translucent glass, bringing energy to the lush plants inside the greenhouse.
Walking in the Rainbow Gym, you suddenly feel like you are in a forest. Flowers, plants and shrubs grow vigorously on both sides of the path, and even the air you breathe has a sweet smell, which is refreshing and refreshing.
On the other side of the glass partition, Xiaoye vaguely saw boys and girls wearing kimonos of the same color sitting among the flowers, closing their eyes with their Pokémon, as if they were meditating.
"That's the daily lesson of our grass star flow." The girl who led the way explained with a smile, "In the embrace of plants, Hades realizes and feels the true meaning of the grass system."
Speaking of the Grass Star Stream, it is a famous existence not only in Rainbow City, but also in the entire Kanto region.
As we all know, the predecessor of the official gymnasium was originally a "dojo" - in ancient times, people worshiped strong men as their teachers and passed on the skills of their teachers from generation to generation, so training institutions called "dojos" appeared. The famous dojo gradually formed its own unique style and eventually evolved into a "school".
Today, even though we have entered modern society, various genres still emerge in endlessly. There are seven first-class schools with top strength and influence, and Cao Xingliu is one of them. Li Jia, the owner of the Rainbow Gym, is the head of the contemporary Cao Xingliu.
There is a vast garden behind the Rainbow Gym, which together with the Rainbow Gym serves as a training ground for students. Cao Xingliu is following the elite route, and the number of students is not large, so the area of this greenhouse is enough for all students to train together.
"We're here, Teacher Lijia is waiting for you."
"Thank you."
When you open the door, you will see a glass room full of green. Across the lawn, a woman in elegant orange fur sleeves turned around and saluted Xiao Ye gracefully.
"The little girl has been waiting for you for a long time." The woman bowed slightly and kissed her neck with her dark hair. "The little girl's name is Li Jia, and she is the owner of the Rainbow Gym."
Rika is a noble lady who attaches great importance to etiquette. Although he uses a somewhat obscure way of speaking, every note is as beautiful as the melody on the strings.
"Hello, Miss Lijia." Xiaoye returned the greeting to Lijia, "I am Xiaoye who made an appointment to challenge before. I will leave it to you for the gym battle."
Lijia covered her mouth with her sleeves, her eyes curled up, "I already know your battle history, little girl, and I'm looking forward to your performance. Then," her white fingers tapped in the void, "please."
"Yes, please give me some advice."
The battle arena in the Rainbow Gym is dominated by grass, interspersed with scattered rocks and trees. The lush green grass is nearly one meter high, enough to completely hide small Pokémon in it.
When the referee waved the flag in his hand, Xiaoye sent out his first Pokémon, Ghost.
This little guy has just joined the team and is not very strong. However, going through the baptism of gym battles is an important growth process for every Pokémon. At this time, there is only one way to go against the current.
Of course, it would be better if it didn't bite Saya's head as soon as it appeared.
The rules of the Rainbow Gym are three versus three, and the selection of members is relatively flexible. Even if Guisi gets lost, the entire game will not be lost.
On the opposite side, Lijia's first Pokémon was Stinky Flower - it is said that this type of Pokémon is what Lijia is best at cultivating. The short stink flower was mostly hidden by the grass, and only the bright red petals could be vaguely seen swaying on the tips of the grass blades.
"Please go first." Li Jia said with a slight smile.
"Thank you." Xiaoye nodded, reached out to take off the Guisi hat, and gave the instruction directly, "Black Mist."
The dark purple imp floated swaying among the grass, and gray-black smoke filled the air from around it.
Black Mist is Guisi's inherited skill, and his proficiency is barely above the level. The mist soon filled half of the venue, completely covering up Guisi's figure and scent.
Starting with interference skills, this is Xiaoye's usual opening method. The smelly flower's perception in the grass is much stronger than that of the ghost. Even if it is invisible, there is a possibility of being detected. The function of the black mist is to interfere with the smelly flower's five senses.
In the previous Green Field Cup, when the Fire Dinosaur started in the same way, Tongye's big chrysanthemum used the sweet air skill to calmly and skillfully resolve the smoke. But in the gym battle at this moment, the measures Li Jia took were unexpectedly sharp.
"A blizzard of petals."
The light words were spoken, and with the smelly flower as the center, a storm of flowers rose from the ground. The five-colored petals stirred up strong air currents, and the vulnerable black mist completely dissipated almost instantly.
"rise!"
Guisi yelled in panic, but his movements were not slow at all. The light body floated quickly in the wind, avoiding the attack of oncoming petals.
The next second, the sky brightened slightly. The blazing sunlight that shouldn't appear in the early morning slants down, causing the ghosts who don't like sunlight to scream in agony.
clear up? Could it be together with the petal snowstorm just now...?
Although she always maintained waveguide detection, Xiaoye was unable to catch any traces of Clearing Skill in the chaotic energy. But the current battle situation no longer allows Xiaoye to think about this issue.
That bright red flashed quickly in the grass. That was a speed that human eyes could not catch up with - the Stink Flower's characteristic "chlorophyll" was activated.
Following the movements of the Stinky Flower, green light swept towards the sky. It was just the most basic grass-based skill "Absorption", but it was used to amazing effect - curved light ribbons danced in the air, completely blocking the way for ghosts to escape.
"Will-o'-the-wisp."
Although Xiaoye's instructions were timely, the sound still could not exceed the speed of light. Guisi was hit hard twice by the whip-like light ribbon, and fell down in a staggered manner, hurriedly displaying the will-o'-the-wisp.
Although the attack power is not strong, the will-o'-the-wisp contains part of the fire energy, which will have a certain restraining effect on absorption. After the blue flames surrounded the whole body, the light belt could no longer get close to Guisi and gradually dissipated in the air.
However, amidst the rustling sounds of objects approaching rapidly, even the silly-looking Guisi didn't feel that he had regained the upper hand.
Stinky Flower, or Li Jia, has never thought of relying on absorption skills to deal damage. Their purpose from the very beginning was——
Pull the ghost flying high in the sky into the grass, and pull it into the area where the smelly flower is best.
While the power of the waveguide tightly locked the movement trajectory of the Stinky Flower, Xiaoye also had some doubts in her heart.
If her judgment is correct, the fighting method Rika is using now is full of fierce momentum...
It's not a coaching battle at all.
