Pokémon: Start with a Mewtwo invitation

Chapter 78: Challenge from Xiaozhi, Kongnan and Hainan also come
Xia Mu once again experienced the joy brought by double riding and enjoyed it immensely.

Frankly speaking, at this point, Xiao Xiamu couldn't hold back any longer and was about to act like a hooligan.

However, Xia Mu used all his strength to use the power of the waves to suppress the rising fire, thus preventing Sonia from noticing anything unusual.

Of course there is an effect, it's like a sudden cool breeze flowing through when it's hot, which allows you to keep your heart and calm down.

Of course, Xia Mu never thought of another possibility, that is, Sonia had already noticed it, but she just didn't say it out loud.

The two of them strolled around in a large shopping mall in Honglian City for a while, and then Xia Mu found a barbecue restaurant and took Sonia to taste the local-style barbecue.

For Xia Mu, this was actually the first time he had such a relaxing time out for fun after traveling through time.

In his previous life, the pressure of life made it difficult for him to breathe. Now that he has traveled to the Pokémon world, although he still faces pressure from all aspects, at least he is no longer as miserable as in his previous life.

After eating the barbecue, Xia Mu took Sonia shopping for a long time, during which time they bought two cups of milk tea and many snacks.

Xia Mu had been in love in his previous life, but he did not delve deeply into the subject, so he could not think of many ways to bring people closer together. Although he had all kinds of fantasies in his mind, they were not suitable for him to put into practice.

It was not until after one o'clock in the afternoon that Xia Mu took Sonia back on Arcanine again.

They were no longer in a state of having nothing to say along the way, but actively sought out topics to talk about, which allowed them to get to know each other better.

In fact, Xia Mu's personality and Sonia's personality are somewhat complementary, and their values ​​are also very similar. Otherwise, no matter how intimate their actions are or how many things they experience, they will not be able to talk to each other.

When we returned to the Honglian Gym, there were already quite a few people gathered in front of the gym.

Unlike the morning, there were more people coming in the afternoon, and Xia Mu even saw a few familiar figures among them.

Xiaozhi, Xiaogang, Xiaoxia, Xiaotian, Ali, Kongnan, Hainan...

When we said goodbye yesterday, they did say they wanted to come and challenge me, but I didn’t expect that they would actually come.

Xia Mu and Sonia got off the back of the Windy Dog one after another, with smiles on their faces.

Although everyone's memories have been changed, the memories remaining in Xia Mu and Sonia's minds make the two feel more familiar with Xiaozhi and his crew, as well as Sora and Ami. After all, they experienced the Mewtwo incident together.

As for Xiaotian and Ali, they met each other when they were in Yuandao and came to Honglian Island together.

Because of Natsuki's return, many trainers rushed over, including some who had fought against Natsuki before.

After Xia Mu calmed everyone's emotions one by one, he communicated with the black-clad security guards of the Honglian Gym, confirmed the details of the battle, and asked them to prepare.

During this process, Xia Mu had the opportunity to come in front of Xiaozhi and his group.

At this time, Sonia had already talked to them. Obviously, after experiencing the incident with Mewtwo, she had a special liking for Xiaozhi and his crew.

In Xia Mu's opinion, this might be due to the protagonist's halo?
Although many plots have been changed because of his arrival, the luck surrounding Xiaozhi will not disappear easily. This is just the beginning.

"Brother Xia Mu, we meet again! I didn't expect that there would be so many people queuing up to challenge the gym today." Xiaozhi greeted excitedly.

Hearing this, Xia Mu said naturally: "Yeah, I thought you wouldn't come."

"Hehe, how could that be? I really want to have a battle with Brother Xia Mu. If I miss it, this trip will be in vain. Although I have already obtained the Crimson Badge of the Red Lotus Gym, I still want to challenge you!" Xiaozhi clenched his fists and said confidently.

This kind of performance is really like a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger.

Coupled with Pikachu's eager look, he is indeed full of momentum.

Misty and Brock were a little helpless, but they had to admit that it was because of Satoshi's drive that they were willing to travel with him.

I have to say, the protagonist is the protagonist, and Xiaozhi's behavior resonated with some people around him.

"I understand, but you have to wait a moment. Everyone should go in first come first served. After all, I can't let you cut in line just because I know you." Xia Mu kept smiling, and then greeted Xiaotian and Ali next to him. They were not here to challenge, but just to watch the fun.

It was definitely lively at that time, especially when Xia Mu and Sonia came back riding Arcanine together in ambiguous postures, they were definitely a couple.

Ali didn't think there was anything wrong, but Xiaotian felt a little uncomfortable.

Although she is not yet an adult, she is a sixteen-year-old girl. She is mentally mature enough. It is impossible for her to say that she has no feelings for Xia Mu.

The feeling of being intercepted made her feel uncomfortable.

It was obviously she who got to know Xia Mu first, but Sonia and Xia Mu became so close so quickly.

After greeting Ali and Xiaotian, Xia Mu nodded to Kong Nan and Hai Nan.

Xia Mu actually knew their strength very well through the Mewtwo incident.

Although they all have crimson badges, they are not here for the badges.

Because I want nothing more than to fight against a stronger trainer.

The more of their kind there are, the stronger they are.

Under Xia Mu's arrangement, this time is different from the previous challenges, and they are not put in one by one.

Xia Mu plans to let all the challengers enter the battle venue together to watch the battle.

Since we have to challenge him anyway, we might as well just do it in an open and honest way.

It also allows everyone to clearly see his strength.

The reason for holding this kind of open tournament is to shut up some trolls.

While having lunch in Honglian City at noon, Xia Mu and Sonia heard a lot of gossip.

Many people questioned the strength of Xia Mu, the acting trainer of the Red Lotus Gym.

Because the challenge mode is one-to-one and not open to the public, only one person can enter, and then the next person can enter after that person finishes the fight.

In short, it is to criticize possible behind-the-scenes operations and cheating.

I have to say that after hearing these people's sharp analysis, Xia Mu also felt that it made sense.

Therefore, this way of fighting is more or less influenced by those trolls.

In fact, Xia Mu also guessed that the reason why Xia Bo made such arrangements was probably because he was afraid that he was not strong enough, or that the gym would be swarmed by trainers and cause a big incident, so he used this half-hidden fighting method, one by one.

Even if you lose badly, you can still do public relations to maintain it later.

A group of dozens of people, led by Xia Mu and the black-clad security guards, walked into the gym one by one.

Then, under the registration of the gym administrator, they lined up one by one and sat in the audience area. …

As the gym challenge started in the afternoon, with the mode being different, Xia Bo also took the time to come and watch.

But no one knows where he is.

The rules remain the same, one-on-one, if you win you take the badge, if you lose you leave on your own.

The one who opened the match was an elite trainer with impressive abilities. Xia Mu remembered him as one of the masters who had come to challenge him two days ago.

Seeing how confident he was this time, it was obvious that he had been prepared.

Facts have proved that he should have collected enough information. Seeing Xia Mu sent out the psychic-type Gardevoir, he sent out the level 43 Kairos.

"Use the insect-type Kairos to fight an attribute restraint battle? Although it does have an advantage in attributes, it does not mean that you will definitely win." Xia Mu said with a smile.

On the other side, Xinzhe said solemnly, "Of course I dare not be careless. After all, my opponent is you. In my lifetime, I have never met a gym trainer who can beat me so badly, so this time, I must get back at him!"

After that, Xinzhe raised his hand and commanded Kairos to attack: "Go ahead, Kairos, get close, use the cross scissors!"

"Knock, knock!" Kairos let out a rough cry, and then rushed forward with brute force.

It does look scary, especially since Kairos' appearance is creepy to begin with, and its unusual characteristics allow it to attack without being affected by its opponent's characteristics, allowing it to use its moves against the opponent.

Kairos was extremely fast, and Xia Mu could be sure that this Kairos had excellent training in speed.

"Although I really don't want to attack you, if I turn a blind eye to your blatant attack, I would be too lenient... Gardevoir, magic flame." Xia Mu showed no mercy.

Even though this is the second time I have challenged him, and even though his strength is quite good, I can consider sending him a badge.

But if he can't show a battle that will impress him, then I will never give him this badge.

Although the power of the magic flame is only average, it is undoubtedly an absolute restraint for the insect-type Kairos.

The most crucial thing is that there is a level difference of 4 levels, plus the absolute crushing of special attack and the weakness of Kairos' special defense. If this move hits, it can kill instantly.

"What? Your Gardevoir can also use fire-based moves?!" Xinzhe was obviously shocked.

The information he had previously investigated only mentioned that Gardevoir's psychic abilities were extremely powerful, and the moves used by Gardevoir were all moves related to psychic abilities. He had never expected that Gardevoir would have fire-related skills.

As soon as Xia Mu heard Xinzhe's words, he knew that although this boy had some ability, he was a stubborn person.

Now that he has investigated the Pokémon in his possession, he should go online to check what moves Gardevoir can learn.

In the Pokémon database on the official website of the League, there is a mention of what moves Pokémon can learn. Although it is not comprehensive and many moves are still unknown, the record for Gardevoir states that Gardevoir can learn fire, electric, grass, and even ice-type skills.

Under the sweep of the magic flames, Kairos was hit before he could get close and flew backwards.

Contrary to Xia Mu's expectations, Kairos did not lose his fighting ability immediately, but stood firm.

But it was just a spent force. Xia Mu gave another order, and Gardevoir fired another wave of missiles, killing Kairos.

Wave Missile, this was not something that Xia Mu bought the skill learning device for Gardevoir to learn, but something that Gardevoir learned from Lucario.

It was an unexpected surprise.

“Kairos is incapable of fighting, and the gym trainer wins.

"Please ask contestant Xinzhe to leave the stage. The next challenger, contestant Sanyang, please come on stage."

Under the decision of the black-clad referee, Xinzhe tasted defeat again.

"In a Pokémon battle, victory is not determined by just considering attributes. In addition to attributes, the outcome of the battle is also affected by level, use of moves, tactical coordination, etc.! With a reckless attack like you just now, even if you can win by relying on attributes, your Kairos will be severely damaged. So next time when you use Kairos, remember not to attack so directly, and use some tactics." Xia Mu advised Xinzhe.

Although Xia Mu himself has many shortcomings, as the winner he has defeated his opponent, so he has the qualifications to say these words.

If he were Kairos' trainer, he would at least make Gardevoir pay the price.

"Thank you for your advice..." Xinzhe's face turned pale. After taking back Kairos, he left without looking back.

At the age of thirteen or fourteen, children are at their most rebellious stage. They are too self-centered and will not listen to much.

Watching Xinzhe leave, Xia Mu's attention was focused on the second challenger.

"Do you want to replace Pokémon? Or continue to use Gardevoir?" Sanyang remained calm and fearless when facing Xia Mu, especially after watching Xinzhe's previous battle.

Natsuki nodded, "Go ahead, send out your Pokémon."

After hearing Xia Mu's words, Sanyang grinned, as if it was exactly what he wanted: "That's good, go ahead, Haunter!"

The ghost-type Haunter is level 39, which is pretty good, but it’s a pity that he’s not Gengar.

No wonder he is not afraid of Gardevoir and has an attitude of "I will definitely win".

"Compared to the challengers in the morning, the challengers in the afternoon are indeed of better quality. Let me see your skills." Xia Mu did not take the initiative to attack, and once again gave the right to attack first to the challenger.

"What I've been asking for! Haunter, wave of evil!" Sanyang gave the order, and Haunter immediately understood and licked his tongue with a sly smile.

I saw its two illusory ghost hands moving closer together, and dark purple halos gathered into a circle, and then it shot out with a blast, heading straight for Gardevoir.

This attack was quite powerful.

"Take this move, wave missile." Xia Mu responded quickly without hesitation.

For Gardevoir, who was trained as a special attacker, there is no need to be afraid of Bo at all.

Even though the effort value hasn't been increased yet, given the current level gap, what's there to be afraid of even if the attributes are restrained?
Moreover, the skills of moves can have a counter-restraint effect.

There was a loud bang!

The wave missile and the evil wave exploded due to the impact of force, canceling each other out.

At the same time, something unexpected happened to everyone. Haunter suddenly appeared behind Gardevoir, and like a sneak attack, it fired a shot with great effect.

It was because Gardevoir's super power sensed something and avoided the vital points first, so it was not hit hard.

However, this time he did get hurt, which surprised Xia Mu a little.

His eyes paused for a moment at Haunter's skill list, and he knew what this move was. He praised, "Not bad. In the gap between the explosions just now, Haunter used the surprise attack move, which really caught me off guard."
