Not a trainer this time

"Ai Ai!"

The elder brother Ai Guanshi came forward to check the situation of the Thorn Dragon King, and then blew the whistle to announce the result of the battle.

"Good, so strong!" Xiaochun was stunned.

The move just now was a triple combo that combined rain prayer, storm, and thunder?

Rain prayer can greatly increase the hit rate of thunder, and storm can create an extreme combat environment to interfere with the opponent.

The combination of different moves complements each other and can produce such a huge power. This is simply incredible.

If a trainer who has never conducted targeted special training faces this situation, he may be completely defeated in one encounter, and even worse, he will be killed instantly.

Is this the true strength of the hidden boss in the Padiya region?

Xiaochun suddenly remembered the rumors he heard from other trainers on the way to collect gym badges.

It is said that there is a hidden boss in the town of Ziqin in the Padiya region. His usual identity is a rancher, but his true strength has reached the terrifying champion level.

Even the cow Pokémon raised in the ranch can beat the trainers who come to challenge them.

At that time, Xiaochun was very interested in this rumor. She specially investigated it and found that the hidden boss of Padiya was her target.

Xiaochun could even feel that the true strength of Senior Naoki in front of her had far exceeded her cousin Yulongdu.

There is a gap between champions!

After sighing in her heart, Xiaochun's eyes flashed with a gleam.

It was worth their trip to have a Pokémon battle with such a powerful champion!

"Come on, Senior Naoki, for the last battle, I will send out my strongest Pokémon. Please do the same as me and send out the strongest Pokémon around you!" Xiaochun invited.

As she spoke, her eyes turned to Gulden next to her. As a dragon attribute expert, she could clearly feel that the dragon breath on that Pokémon was the strongest.

Let's have a strong duel!

Hearing this, Naoki was slightly stunned. He glanced at the Gulden beside him, and then smiled and said:

"Gulden's strength is much better than other Pokémon."

"This is the purpose of my visit to you today!" Xiaochun said seriously.

"Okay!" Naoki nodded, and then replaced Dragonite, handed it a bottle of goat milk to help it recover its strength, and let it go to the side to rest first.

"Awoo~" Dragonite happily agreed and replaced Gulden.

And the Dragonite that was originally standing next to Xiaochun also stepped forward and walked to the battle field.

The third match of the Dragon Showdown, Gulden vs. Dragonite!

With a crisp whistle, the battle officially began!

"Dragonite, Tornado!" Xiaochun took the lead in launching an attack.

The Dragonite on the field suddenly opened its mouth, its cheeks bulged high, and the purple dragon energy quickly gathered in it, turning into a purple tornado and sweeping towards the opposite Gulden.

Gulden stood there quietly, looking at the Dragonite opposite with his golden eyes.

When the tornado approached, Gulden raised his right hand suddenly, and instantly transformed into a huge dragon claw and swung it forward.

The roaring tornado was torn apart in an instant.

After witnessing this scene, Xiaochun's eyes condensed. The tornado's attack was ineffective against that Pokémon!

What happened to the Pokémon named Gulden? !

No, that's not right! That Gulden was going to launch a counterattack!

"Dragonite, get out of the way!" Xiaochun read Gulden's intention in advance and immediately reminded her Pokémon.

Sure enough, the next second she heard Naoki's voice.

"Gulden, Dragon Claw!"

The Gulden on the field responded almost at the same time.

For a moment, Xiaochun was a little dazed.

Senior Naoki and that Gulden had a very high level of tacit understanding! As soon as he gave the order, the Gulden reacted almost synchronously, almost to the point of telepathy.

However, the scene in front of him brought Xiaochun back to his senses.

The Gulden waved its huge dragon claws and rushed out. Dragonite realized the danger and immediately pulled away and flapped its wings to fly high into the sky.

But the next second, something unexpected happened to Xiaochun and Dragonite.

After seeing Dragonite take off, the Gulden actually flew high.

No, that was not flying! Instead, it used the developed muscles in its legs to bounce high!

The huge dragon claws swung out fiercely, catching Dragonite off guard, causing Dragonite's body to fly backwards and fall heavily to the ground.

On its round and fat belly, three hideous claw marks appeared clearly.

"Dragonite!" Xiaochun shouted loudly.

"Ouch..." Dragonite gritted his teeth and stood up from the ground.

Gu Leton just stood there not far away and watched it.

The terrifying figure made Dragonite feel fearful, and it let out a low roar from its throat:

"Awoo..."

"Dragonite, hold on!" Xiaochun spoke in time and called Dragonite back from its fear.

Seeing that Dragonite had recovered, Xiaochun nodded and said, "In that case, let's use the last blow, Dragonite, use the reverse scale!"

If you don't succeed, you will die.

"Awoo!"

Dragonite let out a series of roars, and all the dragon-attribute energy on its body gathered frantically at the position of the reverse scale, causing it to fall into a state of confusion. Its eyes also turned blood red, and it rushed towards Gulden as if it had lost its mind.

Reverse scale... Xiaochun is going to go all out! Naoki thought.

The reverse scale move is very special. It is very powerful. When used, it will cause the Pokémon to fall into a frenzy, but it will make the Pokémon lose its mind and make a fuss, and even will not obey the trainer's command.

In short, it ignores the injuries on the body, increases strength and speed, but the rationality will drop significantly.

Under normal circumstances, unless it is a critical moment, the trainer will never let his dragon Pokémon use this move.

In a blink of an eye, Dragonite rushed in front of Gulden, raised its claws high, and swung them violently.

"Close combat." Naoki said.

Facing Dragonite's attack, Gulden stretched out his right hand, tightly grasped Dragonite's wrist, and blocked its attack.

Its left hand clenched into a fist, and it elbowed Dragonite with its strong arm.

The huge force directly knocked Dragonite out, and it fell on the grass, and its eyes rolled back and it lost its ability to fight.

The elder brother Ai Guanshi came forward to check Dragonite's injuries, and then announced the result of the battle.

"Aiya!"

Dragonite lost its ability to fight, and this battle was won by Gulerton!

"Sure enough, I still lost." Xiaochun took a deep breath, took out the Poké Ball and took Dragonite back: "Thank you for your hard work, Dragonite, take a good rest next!"

"You are worthy of being Senior Naoki!" Xiaochun raised his head and looked at the young man opposite: "With this kind of strength, I feel that my cousin will not be your opponent."

Naoki raised his eyebrows, cousin? Is it Shito?

"His name is Yulong Du. Like me, he is from the Yulong family and is a very serious and responsible person." Xiaochun said with a smile: "I think you should know him, Senior Naoki. A few years ago, you had a competition in the Unova region."

Naoki was a little surprised: "Did he tell you everything?"

Xiaochun nodded: "He is also very interested in you, but he has been busy with work and has no time to come here."

Naoki nodded thoughtfully.

Du's job... should refer to the Pokémon Investigator of the Kanto Alliance?

Pokémon Investigators are people who investigate the improper use of Pokémon in various places. They are a bit like Interpol and will bring criminals to justice.

However, Du's investigators are different from other investigators. He often works undercover and sneaks into the bases of dark organizations such as Team Rocket to conduct investigations.

Thinking of this, Naoki couldn't help but want to complain. Wouldn't the champion be recognized as an undercover?

If Naoki remembers correctly, Team Rocket still exists at the end of the anime Satoshi arc, and Sakaki even sent the Rocket trio to explore the Padiya region.

But because the two places are too far apart, Team Rocket ultimately failed to reach Padiya.

In the short term, Du will not come here to visit him.

"What are your plans for the future?" Naoki asked.

Xiaochun thought carefully and replied, "I think I should return to Yanmo City, stay there for a while, and then go to other places to take a look."

Naoki nodded: "Then I wish you a smooth journey. When we meet next time, come and fight with me again, let me see what you have gained."

"Okay!" Xiaochun agreed seriously.

When they meet next time, she will definitely impress Senior Naoki!

Xiaochun left Naoki Ranch.

The trip ended successfully. She has collected eight badges in the Padiya region, passed the championship assessment, and got to know Senior Naoki.

There was no need to stay in the Padiya region any longer, so Xiaochun planned to go back to Johto directly.

While waiting for the plane at the airport, she took out her Rotom phone and contacted Du.

Soon, the call was connected.

Du, who was on the other side, saw that it was Xiaochun and guessed that she might have fought with the trainer.

"How was it?" Du asked.

"Like you, I lost." Xiaochun sighed helplessly.

Du: "..."

"He is really strong." Xiaochun said: "But compared to this, I have another thing that I care about."

Du was slightly stunned: "What?"

"There are really many dragon-attribute Pokémon in Naoki's family... I roughly counted them, there are dozens of Dragonite alone, in addition to Dragonite, there are many other dragon Pokémon. In comparison, I feel that his place is the real Dragonite family." Xiaochun said.

Du: "..."

Hearing this, the two people who came from the Dragonite family fell silent.

Du recalled the Pokémon in his own Dragon Sanctuary, and suddenly became even more silent.

At this moment, Xiaochun suddenly thought of something that she didn't care much about.

"Do you know? Many netizens have already complained that you are the king of flying."

Because before becoming the champion, Du always called himself the king of dragon.

However, his Pokémon are all Pokémon without dragon attributes, such as Gyarados, Charizard and Pteranodon.

In order to fill the dragon team, Du even stuffed three Dragonites into the team.

Du: "..."

Silence is another bridge.

Looking at Xiaochun opposite, Du said: "You are not the same as me."

Suddenly, Xiaochun also fell silent.

The cousins ​​looked at each other and tacitly changed the topic.

However, the two made the same decision in their hearts - when the work is done, they will set off to other regions to capture new dragon-attribute Pokémon there!

Like Tyranitar, Red-faced Dragon, Garchomp, Double Axe War Dragon and Three-headed Dragon.

April 15, 201, League Calendar, early summer.

The rumors of Motor Mask that shrouded the sky over the Alola region gradually dissipated, and everything seemed to have returned to the original state.

Naoki was ready to wait until tomorrow, and then he would officially set off to the Alola region to start his own island tour, collecting Z bracelets and Z moves that his Pokémon could use.

But before that, he still had one thing to do, that was to go to Brewing Light City to see the strange tree.

It was quite embarrassing to say that since they confirmed their relationship, it was always Qishu who went back and forth between the two places, and he had not been to Brewing Light City to visit Qishu once.

But that was not Naoki's original intention, just because he was too busy some time ago. He went back and forth between Alola and Padia, and had to take care of the Pokémon in the ranch, so he really didn't have much time.

It was too much to let the girl run back and forth all the time.

So today, Naoki planned to secretly go to Brewing Light City to give Qishu a surprise.

Early in the morning, after finishing his work on the ranch, Naoki rode on Gulton and set off on the road to Brewing Light City.

After half an hour of flight, Gulton successfully arrived in Brewing Light City and landed on the bridge in Brewing Light City.

Now the time has come to 9:30 in the morning. At this time, Qishu should be receiving challengers in the Brewing Light Gym.

In this case, he and Gulton will go directly to the Brewing Light Gym to find someone!

"Let's go, Gulton!"

"Ah, gush!"

Gulton carried Naoki and followed the navigation on the map through the streets and alleys, and soon arrived in front of a tall skyscraper.

This is the Brewing Light Gym.

Naoki walked forward with Gulton, and the sensor door of the building automatically opened when it sensed someone approaching, full of technology.

The first floor is the reception hall. As soon as Naoki entered, a receptionist came up and said:

"Hello, please come here to register your trainer information to challenge the Brewing Light Gym!"

"Is your gym leader here?" Naoki asked.

The receptionist was a little surprised, thinking that it was the trainer who ran away from the gym yesterday, so he replied:

"Our gym leader is waiting for the trainer to challenge in the gym. If you want to see her, you need to register your trainer information first!"

Naoki: "..."

I didn't expect it to be so troublesome to meet the gym leader in the Padiya area.

Forget it, he is not in a hurry anyway. In this case, he might as well pretend to be a trainer who comes to challenge and give Qishu a surprise!

Naoki immediately submitted his trainer information to the front desk. Because he had no experience in challenging the Padiya Gym, the front desk naturally regarded him as a trainer from other regions.

After completing the registration, the girl said, "Go straight from here and you can go to the battle site!"

"Okay." Naoki responded, and then he left the Brewing Light Gym under the guidance of the staff and went to the open-air venue in the city center.

That was also where he first met Qi Shu.

However, when Naoki arrived there, he was shocked to find that he had forgotten one thing.

The gym battles at the Brewing Light Gym are different from those at other gyms. The gym battles here will be broadcast live on Pichu TV throughout the whole process!

At this moment, the huge central square was surrounded by trainers watching the battle. People cheered and shouted, and the atmosphere was extremely lively.

Qishu was standing on the battle field in the center of the square, holding a microphone, her tone full of energy:

"Are you all ready? It's time for Qishu's live broadcast again! Today's challenger is... eh?!"

Looking at the name on the challenger information sent by the gym front desk, Qishu was stunned.

Naoki?

No way? Is it the same name?

"It's just in front, through this passage is the battle field, go, congratulations, trainer!" The receptionist who was responsible for guiding Zhishu over stopped and motioned Zhishu to go forward.

Zhishu was a little at a loss, he didn't know there would be so many spectators watching the game here!

Would his appearance cause trouble to Qishu?

Looking back and hinting to Qishu with his eyes, they pretended not to know each other and just put on a show.

Thinking of this, Zhishu gritted his teeth and walked up the entrance passage.

Looking at the name, Qishu was stunned and forgot to continue talking for a while.

At this moment, a tall figure appeared in the opposite player channel.

When Qi Shu saw the man clearly, his eyes widened immediately.

A beam of surprise suddenly burst out from his eyes as lively as a deer.

Naoki is coming! Is he here to see her? !

A sense of surprise surged in her heart, and the next second, Qi Shu made an unexpected move.

She ran to the opposite side with joy in the eyes of countless spectators, and hugged the man in full view of everyone.

A crowd of spectators: "!!!"

Seeing Qishu's actions, Naoki was stunned for a moment, his body stiffened, and then he whispered:

"Hey, your fans are still watching!"
