Pokemon Dawn

"White Sea Lion, use the wave of water!"

The pink-haired woman gave instructions to her Pokémon. Her voice was as melodious as water waves, and it was the same voice that was heard on the radio after the previous exhibition game. Xiaoye remembered seeing her name on the poster posted at the entrance of the stadium before—

—Peony, the third youngest of the three Hualan sisters.

The eyes of the blond boy opposite him were fixed on the two Pokémon on the field, and the blue waves in the swimming pool were reflected in his bright pupils.

Xiaoye was no stranger to this young man's appearance. On January 1, the rainy day when he set out for the trip, he was also one of the teammates who fought side by side in front of the Stone of Oath - Xiaojie, a superpower from Xia Yang's family.

"Eevee, shoot shadow balls at the water surface!" Xiaojie waved his right hand and pointed at the clear water next to the floating board.

On the pedal, the light brown furry Ibrahimovic responded, and the dark black energy sphere bombarded the pool. Water splashed all over the sky with Ibrahimovic's movements, forming a fine water curtain blocking the sight of both parties.

The light ball of water fluctuation sank into it and made no sound quietly, obviously not hitting the target.

Mudan frowned. It would be difficult to give instructions if you couldn't see the other party's actions, but the same was true for the other party. Why on earth would you deliberately create such a situation?

It wasn't until the sound of "High Speed ​​Star" came faintly from the sound of water waves that Peony's expression suddenly changed. However, it was too late.

White flashing star-shaped energy flew out from the water mist and hit the white sea lion accurately, making a crisp explosion sound.

High-speed stars, a must-hit skill that can chase down opponents, will naturally not be blocked by a curtain of water splashes.

"The White Sea Lion has lost its ability to fight, and Ibrahimovic wins! The winner is the challenger Xiaojie!" The referee's voice brought the battle to an end.

"Get the third one!" Xiaojie happily snapped his fingers and put Eevee back into the Pokmon Ball, "Thank you for your hard work, Eevee."

"A very good battle." Mudan walked down to the battlefield and smiled helplessly, "This is the certificate for defeating Hualan Gym. Please accept the blue badge."

"Thank you." The golden retriever boy neatly put the badge into the box.

Mudan sighed secretly in her heart. For some reason, the number of challengers in recent days has suddenly increased several times more than usual - especially the trainers from Zhenxin Town, who came three or four in a row. Hua Lan San was not good at fighting in the first place.

The sisters fought extremely hard. The Pokémon of the eldest sister Sakura and the second sister Iris had all been killed in battle, and my last white sea lion finally fell to this young man.

If it weren't for the privilege of using the gymnasium for performances for free, I would really want to transfer the gymnasium... Thinking this, Mudan turned her head and saw Xiaoye standing by the door.

No way... Peony's smile is a bit stiff.

"Excuse me, are you here to watch the performance? Or are you here to challenge the gym?" Never be a challenger, never...

Unfortunately, Mudan's prayer failed to take effect. Xiaoye took two steps forward with a smile, "I am Xiaoye from Zhenxin Town. I will leave it to you for the gym battle."

It’s a new town again!

Hearing this familiar location, Mudan's smile cracked in half, and after hearing the second half of the sentence, a look of helplessness appeared on her face. However, before Mudan answered, the challenger boy who had received the badge next to him first

cried out.

"Xiaoye??" Xiaojie's voice was full of surprise.

"Long time no see, Xiaojie." Xiaoye smiled at the vigorous golden-haired boy. More than a month had passed since the last separation, and unexpectedly the two people's travel routes seemed to be very similar.

I didn’t see the girl with twin tails, Xiao Ling, this time. She probably traveled separately from her brother.

Xiaojie randomly stuffed the badge box into his pocket, "You want to challenge the Cerulean Gym too? Come on, I can just watch your battle!"

"Um...can I interrupt?" Mudan smiled apologetically, indicating that she had something to say.

For the three sisters at the Hualan Gym, water ballet performances are their real job, and running the gym is just to continue to use the gym for free. The combat effectiveness of the three is only so-so. They can occasionally deal with newcomers, but they are difficult to deal with one after another challengers.

Somewhat helpless.

After describing the recent difficulties of Hualan Gym one by one, Mudan helplessly spread her hands, "That's how it is. Now we have been badly repaired, and there is not a single Pokémon that can fight. Both the eldest sister and the second sister have lost.

I won’t come out to challenge anymore.” The pink-haired girl puffed her face in dissatisfaction.

"..." Xiaoye was speechless for a moment.

Performances and gyms cannot be taken into consideration at the same time, so it is not surprising that such a situation occurs. It is said that officially certified gyms will count the defeat rate of gym owners once a month. If the value is too high, they will need to undergo strict re-examination, and may even be banned.

Forced to transfer to the gym - I don’t know how the three sisters of Hualan survived this situation.

"What about the challenge?" Xiaojie responded faster than Xiaoye herself and asked urgently.

Peony sighed and took out the exquisite blue metal badge again, "Xiaoye, right? I don't have any Pokémon that can challenge me, so the challenge will be regarded as your victory."

"Eh? But..."

"It doesn't matter, just take it."

The blue badge was forced into Xiaoye's hands by Mudan. She had no choice but to thank her and accept the badge. Xiaoye felt a little dumbfounded in her heart. Before entering the gym, she thought she could challenge the gym normally, but in the end she was given the badge perfunctorily.

Of course, even though I couldn't fight, the battle records necessary for the official competition still had to be carried out.

Looking at the completely fictitious battle process on the battle recorder, Xiaoye shook her head silently. Not only did she randomly give away badges, but she also forged battle records privately. As expected, this gym... is still essentially a water ballet stage.

====================

Walking out of the gym, Xiaojie scratched his head in embarrassment, "Sorry, sorry, I seem to have taken away the last chance to fight."

Xiaoye shook her head, "First come, first served. However," there was a hint of helplessness in her eyes, "I didn't expect Hualan Gym to be even more... unreliable than rumored."

"That's right, the battle just now was completely devoid of passion." Xiaojie, who was not satisfied with the fight, immediately complained to Xiaoye on a united front.

In front of the gymnasium, the two of them were walking on a path surrounded by flower beds. Xiaojie put his hands behind his head and skipped along the edge of the flower bed. He suddenly turned around and said, "By the way, since the gym battle has not ended, why don't you and I

How about a battle!" As he spoke, the golden-haired boy quickly took out a Poké Ball from his belt buckle and threw it, smiling with his white teeth exposed, "Guaranteed to be more fun than a gym battle!"

"Sounds like a good deal." Xiaoye joked with a smile, then nodded, "No problem, I accept it."

"It just so happens that there don't seem to be many people on this road..." Xiaojie looked around at this quiet path, "Then - um!"

The sudden strong wind interrupted Xiaojie's words. Xiaojie felt as if something huge was whizzing past his head. He quickly squatted down and held his head with both hands. After the heavy roar went away, he looked up blankly and asked, "What's going on?"

"

"Helicopter." Xiaoye stared at the distant black dot in the sky.

"Huh? Why in a place like this..." Xiaojie muttered in confusion, his eyes scanning the black helicopter gradually disappearing in the forest in the distance, and suddenly he was stunned, "Wait! Is there a person on that helicopter?

r letter?”

"I think so." Xiao Ye nodded, her eyes fixed on the direction in which the helicopter disappeared.

The red capital letter ‘r’ is the Rockets’ logo.

====================

small theater:

Xiaojie (excited): By the way, since the gym battle has not been completed, how about you and I have a battle? It is guaranteed to be more interesting than the gym battle!

Peony (grieved): That’s too much! Although I’m not good at fighting, I fought seriously. I even spoke ill of people behind their backs!

Helicopter: Boom——

Xiaojie (holding his head in fear):...Is this retribution again? No, why should I say it again?
