Pokémon: Rise of the Orange League

"Mr. Luwu from Penggan Island, welcome to Xiagan Gym! Now we are going to have the Xiagan Gym Challenge." Ada, standing in the center of the venue, shouted loudly. His energetic face was filled with confidence and enthusiasm, as if he couldn't wait to witness the start of this fierce duel.

Ada continued to introduce: "This challenge is divided into two events, namely skill shooting and surfing racing. And I, Ada, as an apprentice of Xiagan Gym, will serve as the referee of this challenge!"

The two trainers standing on both sides of the indoor standard battle field stepped into the training and command area.

"First, let's enter the first event - swimming pool shooting!" Ada waved the small flag in his hand vigorously, indicating that the game officially began. At the same time, the other apprentices waiting outside the venue quickly pulled down the switch.

As a sonorous mechanical sound resounded throughout the venue, the originally flat indoor standard battle field suddenly began to sink downward, and then converged to both sides. In the blink of an eye, a huge swimming pool appeared in front of people. The clear water was sparkling, and it was obviously carefully maintained every day.

Dunmei looked up and down at Lu Wu with interest, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a friendly smile: "According to the traditional rules of our Xiagan Island, only water-type Pokémon can be used in this challenge. So, let me first see who your partner is in this game!"

Dunmei took a Poké Ball from his waist and threw it into the air, shouting loudly: "Come out, Sea Thorn Dragon!"

A flash of light flashed, and a huge Sea Thorn Dragon covered with spikes appeared in the swimming pool. It swung its tail and splashed water, as if showing everyone its powerful strength.

The Sea Thorn Dragon evolved from the Black Sea Horse. Although it still maintains the shape of a seahorse, its body has become larger. Its head and other parts of the body are covered with sharp and sharp thorn-like protrusions, as if it is a weapon born for battle. The slender mouth makes it clear at a glance that it must be an expert in the use of water guns.

Lu Wu was wearing the jacket he bought during the challenge in the Johto region. The jacket was dark black with eye-catching fluorescent green stripes, which gave him a steady and neat temperament.

Lu Wu reached out and untied the Poké Ball containing the octopus bucket from his waist, and shouted with full momentum: "It's decided to be you! Octopus bucket!"

As his voice fell, a giant octopus with a bright red body like a flame fell into the water, instantly stirring up a large area of ​​crystal clear water. Then, the octopus bucket quickly poked its head out from the water, ready to meet the upcoming challenge.

At the same time, a table with two neat rows of bottles slowly rose from the distance. Ada, who was standing by, also raised his voice and explained the rules in detail to everyone: "The first stage of this competition is fixed target shooting! Both sides need to use their own skills to hit these bottles. The side that hits more bottles in the end will win; if the number of hits is the same, the side that takes less time will be the winner."

As a Pokémon that has been responsible for this assessment task in the gym for a long time, Sea Dragon is familiar with such challenges and is at ease. I saw Dunmei with a confident smile on his face and said: "Then let me show you first, Sea Dragon, use the water gun trick continuously."

After hearing the command, Sea Dragon quickly adjusted its state. It took a deep breath, and its originally smooth cheeks instantly swelled like two round balloons. Then there was a torrential water gun attack, like a thousand arrows fired at the same time, which was dazzling.

"Great! All the targets were hit! It took only 11 seconds in total!" The apprentice who was responsible for observing and recording the results at the pavilion not far away shouted excitedly.

"In that case, let's also choose the water gun move." Lu Wu roughly estimated the shooting distance and said confidently. With his understanding of the strength of his octopus bucket, completing this level of challenge is a piece of cake.

As expected, when Lu Wu's octopus bucket began to release skills, Dunmei had a premonition in his heart-this competition might be lost. Because the skill proficiency shown by the octopus bucket in front of him was really amazing. Obviously, every water gun could smash the bottle on the opposite side, but this octopus bucket looked relaxed.

"The first round is over, and the final winner is Mr. Lu Wu from Penggan Island!" Ada, the referee, shouted excitedly. He rarely saw a trainer who could suppress Sea Dragon in this stage. Then, he announced loudly: "The next step is about to enter the second round.Phase 2 - Flying Target! "

As soon as the voice fell, the young apprentice in charge of controlling the flying disc launcher was already standing at his post. At this time, the seemingly solid wall on the left side of the gym, driven by advanced mechanical devices, began to slowly push to both sides. With a slight friction sound and raised dust, the scene hidden behind the wall gradually appeared in front of everyone - a vast, golden and brilliant beach appeared in front of everyone.

At the same time, the small and exquisite but powerful flying disc launcher has adjusted the angle and tilted at a 45-degree angle towards the blue sky, as if ready to shoot the flying disc into the sky at any time.

"First, please ask the gym trainer to demonstrate shooting! "Ada waved the flag in his hand vigorously again and shouted loudly. In an instant, only three consecutive crisp and pleasant spring sounds were heard throughout the venue. Then, three exquisitely shaped flying discs soared from the launcher like arrows from a string and rushed towards the distant sky.

Dunmei, who was standing on the sidelines, was focused. She raised her right hand and pointed at the flying disc in the sky. At the same time, she ordered the Sea Dragon beside her: "Go all out! Show your true strength!" The Sea Dragon, who received the instructions from the master, was instantly full of energy. The originally gentle eyes became sharp as a knife at this moment. It stared at the flying discs spinning at high speed in the air with full concentration. With its keen intuition and excellent judgment, it accurately captured their flight trajectory. At this critical moment, the Sea Dragon suddenly sprayed three extremely powerful water guns from its mouth, which passed through the air like lightning and accurately hit the flying disc gliding in the air.

"Next is the challenge of trainer shooting! "

Three more flying discs flew up into the air along different flight paths.

"Phew!"

Without Luwu's reminder, the octopus barrel was already prepared and quickly fired three water guns.

"Hit faster?" The gym apprentices watching from the side were amazed. This octopus barrel not only had a high hit rate, but also had a very fast reaction speed.

"The next flying disc will be fiercely contested. Whoever can hit it first will be the final winner!" Ada stared at the front with a sharp gaze, and at the same time gave orders to the apprentice beside him at a very fast speed, and nodded gently to indicate that he was ready to launch the next flying disc.

Just now, the first three flying discs were just warm-ups and tests. The flying disc that was about to appear at this moment was the real contest, and it would be the key to determining the outcome of this contest!

Only "Swish! "With a crisp sound, as sweet as a silver bell, the flying disc shot straight into the sky like an arrow from a bow.

However, what was unexpected was that the extremely responsive octopus bucket had already been fully prepared. It was seen that it completed the shooting action in an instant, as if everything was under control.

It happened so quickly that in the blink of an eye, the powerful water gun sprayed out by the octopus bucket accurately hit the flying disc that was speeding in the air. This magical operation was like a buzzer start in a sprint race, full of predictive nature and decisive decision-making. It was able to estimate the launch time in advance with extraordinary judgment, so as to launch an attack in advance and successfully hit the target.

Everyone present was dumbfounded. Before they could come to their senses, the flying disc had just completely left the flight track of the launcher and was hit.

"Too awesome! "Dunmei, who was the first to recover from the shock, couldn't help but applaud, with a smile of admiration and praise on his face.

The flying disc moved at the fastest speed at the moment it was launched, although the octopus bucket blocked the launcher and shot directly. But it can better illustrate its grasp of reality.

"Skill shooting, Luwu won." Ada announced. "Next is the second assessment. "

Dunmei calmly accepted the failure of the first stage. The Sea Dragon seemed a little angry. It was still waiting for the flying disc in the air, but the octopus barrel blocked the door and shot directly.

The game ended instantly.

The sun shone on the golden beach, as if covering the land with a layer of dazzling gauze. A group of people slowly walked out of the indoor battlefield and came to the coast under the leadership of referee Ada.

The sea breeze gently brushed their faces, bringing a hint of coolness. Everyone stopped and looked at the turbulent sea. A few hundred meters away, a striking buoy appeared in the field of vision. It stood alone on the sea, swaying with the waves.

Ada raised his arm, pointed to the distant buoy, and explained in an excited voice: "Everyone, please look, there is the distance mark of our surfing competition!" His eyes flashed with excitement and curiosity.

"The rules of the game are very simple. Both sides control their own Pokémon that can surf, and surf on the sea.Galloping among the waves, rushing towards the buoy. After arriving, quickly turn back. The first party to return to the shore will be the winner! "

Dunmei stood quietly on the beach, her posture was as straight as a pine tree, exuding a unique charm. Compared with her heroic appearance in the indoor battlefield, she was more like a shining pearl standing on the beach at this moment, emitting bright and dazzling light. She squinted her eyes slightly, looking at the buoy in the distance, and the sea breeze blew her hair at the temples.

"My partner is it, the water arrow turtle."

With a flash of red light, the huge, calm and honest water arrow turtle stood in the sea water.

"Kaman! "

Luwu had no intention of changing Pokémon. After all, most of the water Pokémon he had were small and medium-sized. If he really wanted to rely on the Frog to carry people for surfing, then the Octopus Bucket might be more reliable.

"Your Octopus Bucket is a little small, and it may not be suitable for such manned surfing." Ada kindly reminded him.

However, facing Ada's concerns, Luwu just smiled and shook his head gently.

"Don't worry, we have our own unique way of surfing. "He responded firmly.

At this time, Dunmei had already stood firmly on the hard shell of the water turtle, concentrating on making preparations for the upcoming surfing.

At the same time, Lu Wu threw a strong rope to the octopus barrel with a neat movement and held one end tightly, while the octopus barrel flexibly used its several soft tentacles to tightly wrap the other end.

Seeing that Ada was still hesitant and failed to give the order to start the game, Lu Wu naturally understood that the other party had not yet understood how he planned to surf. So he took the initiative to say: "You just need to shout 'start' loudly. "

Hearing this, Ada hesitated for a moment, and finally shouted loudly: "Then... the game! Start! "

As the competition officially started, the Blastoise carrying Dunmei exerted its strength instantly, and its four strong and powerful limbs quickly paddled in the sea, creating an extremely strong driving force, like a speedboat that bravely moved forward, splitting the waves and swimming forward bravely.

The octopus barrel also pulled the other end of the rope and rushed into the sea fiercely, and the rope was instantly tightened.

Lu Wu was dragged into the sea by the rope.

The octopus barrel's entire body dived underwater, and this posture was more Arrow Squirtle is more energy-saving and has less resistance.

However, Octopus is not a Pokémon that excels in speed. If you want to surpass Blastoise, you must use tricks.

Octopus began to mobilize the water energy of its body and continuously sprayed water waves behind it.

The powerful reaction force pushed its body to move forward in the water at high speed.

The sudden increase in speed made Luwu, who was originally dragged into the sea, move on the water like a stone skipping on the water.

"This is our way of surfing! " Lu Wu was relieved to see that the octopus bucket had successfully executed the planned plan.

When he was dragged into the sea just now, he was indeed a little worried that the octopus bucket would not be able to speed up.

Just like a person surfing on the sea with the help of a speedboat's towing rope. With the help of the octopus bucket, Lu Wu now rushed underwater like a cannonball and successfully stabilized on the water surface.

The people on the shore were dumbfounded. It was also the first time for them to see this kind of surfing like skipping stones.

Lu Wu, who was slightly delayed when starting, quickly caught up with and surpassed Dun Mei.

Dun Mei, who was riding a water turtle, was also shocked by Lu Wu's novel surfing posture.

"Can he play like this?"

Lu Wu quickly approached the buoy in the sea. This kind of surfing requires a very large radius to turn.

Lu Wu drew a huge arc on the seashore before he successfully turned around. Dun Mei naturally took this opportunity to make a clever turn and overtake.

"Octopus bucket! Hold on for a while! "

Continuously releasing skills, the octopus bucket's physical strength decreased rapidly.

Lu Wu suddenly swung the rope violently, and the octopus bucket, feeling the pull, immediately understood what Lu Wu meant. He started to act according to the plan agreed upon yesterday.
