In the afternoon, the sky is hazy.
Thin clouds cover the sky, but they are not as thick as cumulonimbus clouds. They only block the direct sunlight and add a bit of gloom to the sultry southern islands.
"boom!"
A huge collision sound exploded between the rocks, shocking the nearby little fist stones to turn into stone balls and rolling away.
The wasteland in the southern part of the fifth island has always been deserted. There are only a few wild Pokémon, and only a few rock-type Pokémon will occasionally stop there. On this day, the trainer and her friends from afar filled the cold-toned rocky land with colorful moves.
There is still one day left before the meeting time agreed by the four of them. Thinking that tomorrow's game will inevitably include Pokémon battles, now is naturally a good time to race against time for intensive training - besides, although the battle in Fengxue Mountain is fresh and exciting, the opportunity to give it a try is far from satisfying the ADHD members of the team. patient. Now that they are finally able to move their bodies to their heart's content, the demolition crews led by Charizard are in high spirits and want to blast holes in the rocky ground.
Xiaoye, who had already expected this, even asked Riolu to spend nearly half an hour to thoroughly explore the surrounding area. After confirming that there were no houses and no Pokémon groups, she dared to start training - she would rather act bravely and carry the reporter's collar. Random headlines make the headlines, but I don’t want to be posted on the forum for my explosive behavior.
The endless rocky land is vast and empty, enough for Pokémon to use their fists and kicks. There is a higher platform near the coast, where the battle between Charizard and Big Bird takes place.
At this moment, violent wind enveloped the entire platform, and from a distance it looked as if a miniature tornado had hit the island. In the center of the cyclone, Yanlong and the birds were fighting fiercely.
Before the start of the Snowy Battle, Charizard had just completed half of his training centered on the "stand-in" move, and was currently in the second half.
After several days of hard training, Charizard's stand-in is no longer as shaky as it was in the Quartz Alliance - but just "acting as normal" is far from helping in the battle. It needs to stabilize its body in the storm, shuttle through the wind with the main body, and at the same time try to use the substitute body to perform moves.
In the Quartz League arena, Xiaotian's Shakiras once demonstrated the tactic of releasing the rotation of the main body and the substitute at the same time, thus interfering with the trainer's instructions. For a player like Charizard who is very open and close, the precise control of Shakiras is not suitable for him; therefore, Xiaoye decided to let Charizard start with melee combat moves and gradually improve the proficiency of his stand-in.
The training menu of Big Bird still inherits the unfinished parts before the Snowstorm Battle. Previously, it has tried to cast "Storm" for a long time, use it as a special type of field move, and combine it with air slash and awakening power to further control the field. Nowadays, Storm has been trained to perfection by Dabi Bird, and the attack moves incorporated into it are becoming more and more abundant. The "Storm Domain" belonging to the strong aerial combatants is gradually taking shape.
The storm was so violent that it was almost difficult to keep one's eyes open. Charizard's stand swayed precariously in the wind, but finally managed to maintain its balance. Sensing the vague scream coming from the front, the fire dragon immediately became vigilant - the invisible air slash that blended into the strong wind had already made it suffer several times, and it would never be careless and underestimate the enemy again!
The dragon Pokémon's fists were wrapped in flames and struck forward like cannonballs, evenly matched with the air. The stand took the opportunity to rush forward, but was blinded by the flash of light that followed. The power of the awakened electric attribute bloomed in the air, causing it to Falling down in a sense of numbness.
——And the real body hiding behind the double finally found a good opportunity and rushed forward.
Big Bird knew that a head-on collision at close range would be detrimental to him, and took advantage of the changing winds to perform a series of dazzling speed changes. The fire-breathing dragon, whose flying ability was slightly inferior to that of a bird, had been thrown away, but the substitute who had retreated lingered on him again.
The menacing fire dragon knew that it couldn't beat the big bird in the "flying race", so it simply burst into flames and spun into the wind.
Although it is not very proficient, storm is also a skill that it has mastered - with the blessing of the flames, as long as the airflow is disturbed a little, it is enough for the powerful fire-breathing dragon to use the opportunity to disrupt the storm in the entire sky. The big bird was forced to slow down in the turbulence in the sky, and its golden feathers flew out as it flapped its wings, trying to block the opponent's footsteps; the fire-breathing dragon never liked to dodge, and charged with all its strength like a meteor. Burn the feathers and aim directly at the target on the other side of the storm.
Golden birds chirped loudly. It began to dive with all its strength, its wings violently friction with the air, causing the blue flames to bathe the whole body like a battle suit, and turned into the strongest boosting force in the brave bird's fierce attack.
"boom!"
Seeing another deafening explosion above, Xiao Ye, who was watching the battle, was speechless for a moment.
...I remember telling them that this time we will focus on practicing flexibility and try to avoid head-on encounters that consume too much energy?
Xiaoye: "Charizard..."
"boom!!"
Xiaoye: "...Uh, Dabi Bird..."
"boom!!!"
Night:"……"
Forget it, luckily the wound medicine is sufficient.
Compared with these two big guys who hit the top, Gyarados makes the trainer much less worried.
Its training content this time was water combat - in the thrilling confrontation in the underground cave, Gyarados single-handedly challenged the Spinosaurus King, barely buying precious time for humans to escape, and failed to survive the battle. Gained the advantage. Gyarados, who was rarely deflated in the water, was unhappy, and he immediately hit it off with the trainer who had the same intention.
Not long ago, through sparring with Dabi Bird, Gyarados has mastered the storm move, and has also mastered the "Storm Water Bullet" that combines the wave of water with it. This time, it will try to use the combination of its storm and water-based moves in underwater combat.
Although air currents cannot be rolled up in the deep sea, the strong flying attribute energy is enough to turn into propulsion, making Gyarados's handy surfing and other moves even more ferocious. When the waves and ocean currents are controlled by Gyarados, the ocean becomes its home field.
Xiao Ye originally planned to go to the town to find a few freelance trainers who loved fighting and hone new topics in actual combat, but Gyarados said that he already had his favorite opponent.
Seeing the Pokémon pointing in the direction of the sea level in the distance with the tip of its tail, Xiaoye was stunned, "Is it a wild Pokémon? Have you been here before?"
The big water dragon shook its head with a straight face and roared twice more.
【I followed that boy here. 】
[The group of giant-winged flying fish lives nearby. 】
Unlike the talkative Charizard, its expressions are always concise to the point of being almost taciturn. But thinking back to what Gyarados had told about its past and its record of losing every battle when following the previous trainer, Xiaoye immediately showed a confident expression of "I completely understand what you mean."
"I understand." The girl nodded solemnly, "Go and take revenge as much as you want. I believe in you, Brother Long."
Although he had been defeated miserably before, Brother Long didn't care about this little thing at all: "..."
This human seems to be getting more and more stupid.
In the end, the dark blue dragon angrily sprayed saliva at the trainer. After seeing that the spray had successfully wiped the human's bangs, he was satisfied, flicked his tail and jumped into the sea, and soon disappeared.
There is a scrubby green area at the northernmost end of the moor. This is the place where forest lizards practice.
In the final battle on the top of the Snowy Mountain, Xiaoye had seen Karl's budding deer directing the vines like arms and flexibly wielding hard seed bombs to attack. Afterwards, seeing that the adventurer seemed somewhat interested in this, Karl took advantage of his free time to teach the forest lizard how to use "grass knots".
It has always been quick to comprehend new moves, and can quickly control the twisting and twisting of blades of grass. However, the forest lizard is a light and agile player, and the aggressive tactics of tying grass knots to strengthen seed bombs like the budding deer are not suitable for it. Therefore, after careful consideration, Xiao Ye arranged another path for the Pokémon - combining grass knotting with the "grass field" she had just learned a while ago.
The grass vine absorbs the energy of the grass field, coupled with the forest lizard's keen perception and control, making it more versatile and powerful than a single move. This is where the giant walking grass that scared off the orchard guard just came from.
——It's a coincidence. If the forest lizard hadn't been practicing on the grassy field, it probably wouldn't have been able to detect the same moves being repeatedly launched several miles away, thus breaking the secret of the orchard.
As for another player in the "pretend to be a ghost combination", Ghost Stone's training venue is in a rocky area with the sparsest vegetation.
Its new task is to carefully study poison-type attacks - sludge bomb is a move that Ghost Stone has already mastered, and now it needs to use this as a basis to challenge the more difficult "sludge wave".
Ghost Stone, who has a flexible mind, is always quick to learn new moves...and always easily goes off track.
The power of the sludge wave has not yet increased, but its shape has become distorted. The moves that were supposed to be radial were made into eight hundred shapes by the ghost. Sometimes they sprayed in a straight line, sometimes they spread out in a fan shape; sometimes they outlined a ring with itself as the center, and they could even turn into venom balls that fell from the sky one after another like tracking bombs. Chase the unlucky Pichu around and discharge wildly. Xiao Ye watched for a while and felt that the purple traces on the ground looked like the BOSS's attack range prompt in an MMORPG game. It dazzled people and quickly shook their heads and ran away.
In addition, the Shadow Fist, which has been practiced to perfection, has also received a new round of upgrades. Xiaoye instructed it to try to attach "poison attack" to the shadow fist, making the already elusive attack method even more difficult to deal with.
Since Ghost Stone was busy training and had no time to take care of anything else, the job of guarding Xiang Beibi was temporarily taken over by the trainer.
This rock Pokémon's temper is as hard as its attributes. No matter how many times it was knocked over by Ghost Stone's mental power, it would always struggle to escape until it completely exhausted its energy. It was never like this every day. Pause - Ghoststone is happy with this, after all, the trainer promised that "Pokémon who help guard the north-facing nose will get extra snacks of their choice."
As the number one gourmet in the team, Ghost Stone has never given up this job to other partners, and he doesn't know what Xiao Ye plans to do with the stone. It only remembers squeezing mud... ah no, when practicing mud waves, it seems that there are rumbling and crashing sounds coming from the trainer's side. When he comes back, Chaibei Nozhi has completely changed his appearance.
It no longer angrily throws rocks and attacks randomly, nor does it want to burrow into the ground and escape all the time. As long as the trainer comes even slightly closer, North-facing nose will immediately turn its back to the human and turn into a stone sculpture, motionless, regardless of whether it is facing south or north.
Ghost Stone: "...?"
It looked at the innocent-looking Sayo, then at the rock Pokémon who was so lifeless that his nose was even red, and wisely decided not to think about what the trainer had done.
The big ghost swayed away. On the way, he couldn't help but stretched his neck - or stretched his head - to look at the creek not far away.
Next to the water, there was a small Pokémon trying to exhale cold air.
Saya was a little surprised when Yukidouzi asked to join the training.
She knew that Yukidouzi had little interest in fighting. Instead of sweating profusely in training, he preferred to spread the cool air next to him to cool down his friends. But the Pokémon wearing a hat looked solemn at this time, and it didn't look like it was done on a whim.
Recalling her experiences in the past few days, Xiaoye guessed that the thrilling battle on the Snowy Mountain might have frightened it, so she reached out and stroked the Pokémon's head.
"Don't worry, even if you encounter such danger again, I will protect you."
The trainer's voice was soft and gentle, but the Pokémon who heard this became even more anxious. It tugged on the human's sleeves hard, made chirping gestures, and accidentally fell down while beating its own chest.
Xiaoye couldn't help but be stunned.
——Of course she understands what her partner wants to say.
In the end, the trainer smiled and nodded to the little Pokémon, accepting Yukidou's wishes.
Unlike other Pokémon, Yukidouji has barely participated in battles and is very unfamiliar with his own moves. Therefore, Xiaoye arranged for it to start by consolidating the use of moves - and this training chose the most commonly used attack move of the ice attribute, Freezing Beam.
Not long ago, it had learned this move from Gyarados on a whim, but it had only mastered the rudimentary form, and the power and accuracy of the beam it spat out were far from enough. At this time, Yukidouzi was following the trainer's instructions, focusing on the stream and trying to freeze the water with his own moves.
The water flow in summer is brisk and turbulent, and the fragile ice layer can hardly stay and is instantly washed away in the water. But Yukidouzi didn't feel irritated, he just repeated the same actions over and over again. It knows what it is working towards -
At least next time, it doesn't want to hide in the elf ball and watch its companions bleed.
On the other side of the stream, among the bushes half as tall as a man, Riolu was running.
For puppies who have hard work and persistence engraved in their bones, all leisure time is equivalent to time for physical exercise. The fighting Pokémon's body supports it to run and jump almost tirelessly, constantly becoming tougher and stronger.
Its mission is to master the new move it just learned, "Sword Dance."
For Riolu, who is good at fist and kick attacks, sword dance is undoubtedly the most suitable strengthening move for him. Although it has figured out how to use it, it still requires a lot of practice to use it proficiently - and it has always liked to hone its moves in combat.
There are many wild Pokémon in the bushes at the edge of the wilderness, which can be its opponents.
After stacking enough berries next to the trees to comfort the wild Pokémon that were attacked, Xiao Ye looked at the shortest Pokémon in the team.
Pichu had already taken the initiative and wanted to learn the new move "Light Wall" - the shiny translucent wall looks mysterious and interesting, which is exactly what the electric mouse likes.
However, after the battle in the orchard, it suddenly changed its mind.
At the foot of the cliff, a small electric rat is releasing electric current fiercely, burning the hard rock. The powerful electricity scorched the rocks black, and the nearby rocks were turned into gravel and ashes in the dazzling golden light; but Pichu was not satisfied with this. It tried its best to make its electric light hit farther and more powerfully. Exhausted and unwilling to stop.
Xiaoye knew why it was suddenly so depressed.
Since embarking on the journey with his trainer, Pichu has been defeated in head-to-head battles more than once. Although it has been able to avoid danger in the past with its dexterous body and clever mind, this still cannot change its obvious weakness in strength. Until today, the thunder of the electric monster easily overwhelmed its electric shock, finally making the unwillingness hidden in Pichu's heart completely burn.
Xiao Ye did not stop its movements, but just watched her partner from a distance, allowing Pichu to use his best electric shock again and again, as if he wanted to drill through the rock.
It wasn't until the electric mouse finally lost the strength to stand and collapsed on the ground panting that Xiaoye stepped forward and gently picked it up.
Pichu's little paws subconsciously tightened tightly on the fabric of the trainer's cuffs. It called "master" muffledly and didn't say much, but Xiaoye knew exactly what it needed to hear most at this moment.
"Pichu." Xiaoye raised the electric mouse and made it look level with her. "I heard that there is a retired electric Pokémon expert on Haza Island. He is particularly authoritative in the development, growth and evolution of Pokémon. , is now operating a nursery on the island.”
Seeing Pichu's eyes suddenly become brighter, Xiaoye laughed.
"After we celebrate Xiaojie and Xiaoling's birthdays, let's go visit the professor, right?"
"Will I be able to evolve into Qiu if I meet him?"
The electric mouse swung its tail excitedly.
Seeing Pichu rolling happily in her arms, muttering "I want to evolve higher than the big fire dragon and stronger than the big water dragon", Xiaoye lowered her eyes, filtering out the heavy worries, and only gave them to the Pokémon. An encouraging smile.
"-No matter what, as long as you want to become stronger, I will definitely help you achieve it."
"I know Qiu!"
Pichu responded crisply without thinking, and then got into the trainer's hood intimately.
When night falls, the day's training comes to an end.
The big bird carried the girl past like a stream of light and flew to the Pokémon Center on the island. The trainer turned on his cell phone and was busy scrolling through the dazzling news in the group. He suspected that the group name should not be called "Four Elders of Dawn", it must be at least one hundred elders.
After chatting with her friends for a while, she wrote a reply.
"Then, let's meet at the gate of Haza Paradise tomorrow."
====================
small theater:
Pichu's little paws subconsciously tightened tightly on the fabric of the trainer's cuffs. It just called "master" muffledly and didn't say much, but Xiaoye knew exactly what it needed to hear most at this moment.
