Pokémon: My Bonds has a big problem

The huge auditorium was packed. Everyone was very emotional. Some people even stood up and cried while watching the performance. I don't know how they could empathize.

On the other side, there were audience members with cheering items. They were obviously fans of the three Hualan sisters. Some were group fans, and some were solo fans. In short, they were the most aggressive group. However, among the applause of the audience, their shouts did not stand out.

Ange also saw that in the preparation area where she was, several trainers stood up excitedly, and one even put on the pain clothes of the three sisters and started cheering.

Ange couldn't help but sigh that the three Hualan sisters were indeed very popular.

Even more influential than the Four Heavenly Kings of Kanto. After all, the Four Heavenly Kings of Kanto's influence is mainly in Kanto and Chengdu. However, the three Hualan sisters are already Internet celebrities that the entire network is paying attention to, and they are considered the most famous Internet celebrities in the entire Kanto region. Their influence is not much different from that of Lurina in the Galar region, Chrysanthemum in the Unova region, and Kaluna in the Kalos region.

Of course, their performance was indeed excellent. But even among those who were not sitting in the challenge seats, a large number of them did not come for the three Hualan sisters.

Instead, he came here for the leader of the Hualan Gym.

After the thunderous applause, the eldest sister Sakura stayed at the performance location. She rose up little by little, and finally stood on a platform in the water, and said loudly to the audience: "Our performance is over. Next, Xiaoxia, as the gym leader, will face the challengers who came to challenge today. How many of the challengers this time can get the badge? Please wait and see!"

The applause thundered again.

As everyone applauded, Ange heard the door behind her open, and two people walked out.

One of them was a middle-aged man wearing heavy clothes and a hat, while the other was a thin boy wearing a plain loose coat. When he noticed Ange's gaze, he lowered his head slightly to avoid looking at Ange.

Ange raised her eyebrows. Let's not talk about the former. The latter really looked like someone who couldn't afford to watch a water show.

Could it be that there are trainers who are doing so badly? Being robbed by the boy in shorts and the bug catcher?

How many times have I felt dizzy?

Ange didn't say much and focused his attention on the pool over there.

There is a relatively obvious long shadow swimming in the pool.

On the high platform, a girl with an agile figure fell vertically from the high platform. As she fell, a column of water rose directly from the pool and caught her footsteps.

Step by step, each step is supported by the water column.

Amid the crazy cheers of the audience, the Cerulean Gym Leader, Misty, arrived on the battle platform.

Ange had better eyesight, and he could see that Xiaoxia's every step looked like a water column, but in fact, it was a thin layer of ice. In other words, the water column should also have the effect of freezing light.

The outer layer of water column must be well controlled, and the freezing light should only freeze a small layer of ice.

“The level is quite high.”

Ange said with emotion.

Chapter 178 After you sing, I will appear on stage

Xiaoxia's strength exceeded Ange's expectations.

Since Xiaogang is still traveling, the Pokémon he carries with him are all newly captured on the road. And those ace Pokémon are all being trained in the gym. When fighting with Jiro, Ange specifically asked to use Jiro's own Pokémon. So he didn't fight with Xiaogang's Pokémon.

However, Xiaogang and Xiaoxia are gym leaders of the same generation, and they have been traveling companions, so their talents are not much different. Therefore, from Xiaoxia, we can more or less infer Xiaogang's current strength.

Sure enough, if Xiaogang was in charge of the Deep Gray Gym himself, the Deep Gray Gym would never be on the verge of facing league scrutiny.

After a gorgeous yet restrained appearance, the referee next to Xiaoxia began calling on challengers to come on stage.

After the first challenger came on the field, he sent out a Bulbasaur.

On the platform in front of Xiaoxia, a jewel starfish jumped directly out of the pool.

Ange watched the battle and couldn't help but blink.

If Ange guessed correctly, hot water must be included in Xiaoxia's moveset for this jewel starfish.

Although the hot water trick can't eliminate the disadvantage in attributes, it is indeed a bit difficult to deal with for grass-type Pokémon. It can only be said that Xiaoxia still doesn't intend to let the novice trainer go.

However, this novice had solid basic skills and good luck. In the end, he defeated the Gem Starfish with a hypnotic powder and obtained the blue badge.

Most of the spectators who witnessed the fight clapped their hands vigorously, applauding both sides of the fight.

But for some other viewers, such a fight would simply not satisfy them.

They are not here to watch children playing house.

Challengers came on stage one by one, and some succeeded, some failed, and some were greeted with applause or boos.

Ange could sense that some trainers were not used to the audience. So when they were giving orders, they would make some low-level mistakes. But Ange didn't think it was a bad thing. The Quartz Conference itself was to be held under the watchful eyes of the audience.

Even after becoming a gym leader or even a champion of the Four Heavenly Kings, they would be dragged into some commercial battles. At that time, they would definitely fight in front of the audience, and they would even have to fight as well as possible.

It’s not that easy to be a trainer.

Among those people before Ange, the middle-aged man in a heavy windbreaker was very powerful. He was not here to cause trouble, but he was definitely not an easy guy to deal with.

Xiaoxia summoned a Vaporeon, a White Sea Lion and a Golduck from the pool. Under the rule of 6-3 singles, she defeated the opponent's Centipede King, Giant Claw Mantis and Armor Warrior.

The victory was not easy, and Xiaoxia also gave the blue badge to this uncle. However, this uncle was obviously not satisfied with his performance.

"I'm sorry that I didn't bring out your true strength. I'm afraid these Pokémon are not your trump cards. I can see that you still need to practice."

The uncle shrugged his shoulders, his mentality was still calm. After taking the blue badge, he left the Hualan Gym.

The profession of Pokémon trainer is such a cruel one. Time and experience can make you a senior trainer. But without talent and resources, it is impossible to become a top trainer.

The uncle has tried very hard. But compared with the young girl Xiaoxia, the gap is so big. From the perspective of age, such a gap can no longer be made up.

Ange whispered these words to Huanhuan with emotion, while Huanhuan scratched his head insensitively.

These two people, as well as the Pokémon on the battlefield, all look like little guys and are quite young in its eyes.

Ange once again fell into deep self-doubt for her foolish behavior in discussing age issues with the Immortal Clan.

It's a bit brainless.

After a few more people passed by, the listless boy who looked like he was doing very badly stood up and took out a metal monster on the battlefield.

Ange observed the iron dumbbell from a distance with his excellent eyesight.

"It's been cultivated very well. Both the color of the body and the purity of the energy."

"In addition to high-quality energy blocks and Pokémon food, the investment of a large amount of rare metals is also the key to the current level of cultivation."

Ange immediately understood why this man looked so poor. Although 200 yuan was not much, it was probably enough for this man to buy a small piece of metal as a supplement for his metal monster.

After a not-too-intense battle, Metal Monster defeated Golduck and won the blue badge for his master.

The young man bowed to thank Xiaoxia after the battle. In the battle with Golduck, he and Metal Monster's understanding of super powers improved a little, which can be said to have benefited a lot.

This battle can be considered a standard guidance battle.

The audience still gave a warm round of applause. Although the battle was not very exciting, the appearance of a rare Pokémon like Metal Monster still opened the eyes of the audience.

And soon, it was Ange's turn.

Standing on the shore, the first challenge he now faces is to go to the fighting platform in the center of the pool.

There is a small raft pulled by a goldfish next to it. If you really have no other choice, you can use this.

However, the middle-aged man was thrown to the central platform by the armored warrior and landed steadily. The boy with the giant gold monster grabbed the giant gold monster's claws and was carried by the giant gold monster.

Xiaoxia’s debut was stunning. If she hadn’t performed so well here, she would have actually lost in momentum.

For ordinary trainers, this loss is inevitable. After all, they don't do this kind of special training for their Pokémon.

So this is actually a preliminary assessment of the trainer's ability.

Any trainer with some ability can do something fancy in this stage, and based on the size of the trick, Xiaoxia can make a preliminary judgment on the strength of the person.

It can be regarded as an estimate in my mind.

Ange fell silent at this point. It wasn't that he didn't have such a way to show off his power in public, but there were too many of them and he didn't know which one to use.

Finally, Ange nodded and took out his Poké Ball.

"Geng Gui."

Geng Gui stood beside Ange, and Ange snapped his fingers, and the shadows under them rose like flames, causing a burst of exclamations.

When the shadows fell, Ange and Gengar had already appeared on the platform.

Xiaoxia's eyes were solemn. She just felt that there seemed to be something else on the water surface.

Chapter 179 I'll give you a pillow if you feel sleepy

Xiaoxia looked at Ange and recognized him before the referee introduced him.

"Are you Han Ange?"

Xiaoxia's tone was curious but not surprised. It was obvious that she had anticipated Ange's arrival.

After all, the topic of Ange has been circulating among the gym leaders for a while. Xiaoxia and Kona are close friends. One is an ice-type king and the other is a water-type gym leader. These two people have a lot of common topics.

So Xiaoxia is still quite concerned about this possible brother-in-law.

However, this person already had a good reputation among the gym owners. Qinglu praised Ange's strength, while Jiro praised Ange's wisdom and ability to solve problems.

Neither of them is the type to make up stories. Putting Jiro aside, it's not that easy to get Qinglu's approval. From this point of view, Ange is enough for Xiaoxia to be fully prepared to deal with him.

"Yes, I am Ange. Master Xiaoxia, please give me your guidance."

Ange greeted Xiaoxia very politely. Although Xiaoxia felt a little uncomfortable about the fact that he did not have a surname in his self-proclaimed name, she did not care much since Ange's name was easy to read.

"Then I'm really in trouble. How should I test you?"

Xiaoxia looked at Ange and asked seriously, "You should have two badges now. But if I really only use the standard of two badges to fight you, it will be too easy for you."

"But if it's a full lineup battle... do you have six Pokémon now?"

Anyway, the last time Qinglu said it in the group, this person should only have three Pokémon. Jiro didn't pay much attention to this matter, anyway, they were fighting one on one. Just now, Xiaoxia glanced at Ange's waist, and there were only three Poké Balls hanging on it.

"I think you'd better catch Pokémon quickly. Sometimes you really don't have to be so picky."

Xiaoxia is also a trainer and a person who has traveled. She also knows that some trainers have a problem like mysophobia. They are extremely cautious about catching Pokémon. They will not catch Pokémon if there is no fate, potential, or good looks.

Therefore, the team's growth rate was extremely slow. However, they were determined to participate in the league meeting, and thus fell into a very strange deadlock.

They often force their team to be full before the league meeting, and then when the meeting is over, those Pokémon that don't fit their ideas will be released.

The key point is that Ange is a forest ranger. According to Xiaoxia's little understanding of forest rangers, releasing Pokémon should be something that forest rangers hate.

Ange was stunned at first, then nodded: "Thank you, I really didn't think about this at first."

Ange was used to following his own pace. He also habitually ignored such rules. Now that he thought about it, he really needed to increase the speed of capturing Pokémon as much as possible.
