Elf: Release? Not possible.

Charizard also grasped this point, which allowed it to distinguish the real Giant Mantis and hit it with one blow.

If he had used fire-based attack skills at that time, Giant Mantis should have been defeated. Not only does he have the strength of a big brother, he also has the demeanor of a big brother.

I'm afraid that seeing that the Giant Mantis has just evolved, it doesn't want to undermine its confidence.

PS: Let me digress here. In the new version of Arceus, Scyther's new evolution is Axe Mantis. I personally feel that it is really ugly and weak. Although the Bug + Rock is no longer 4 times weaker, it has three more 2 times weaker. No wonder it became extinct in the end. To be honest, I even suspected that Axe Mantis was extinct by Giant Claw Mantis.

Chapter 541 Hualan Gym Performance (Subscription Request)

"Here, this is the blue orange fruit!!"

After interrupting the fight between the two sides, Xiaozhi took out two blue orange fruits from his backpack and threw them to Charizard and Claw respectively.

This kind of injury does not require a special trip to the Pokémon Center. After eating the blue tangerine fruit and resting for a while, you will be almost recovered.

After recovering, Clawmant immediately started training on his own, and Xiaozhi did not stop him. It was obvious that he was still unwilling to admit defeat.

The other Pokémon looked at Claws and were influenced by its state and began to practice hard.

Xiaozhi led them in training without sleep and forgot to eat. It was not until the evening that Xiaogang came out to remind them that the meal was ready.

Because he was going to stay at the Hualan Gym today, and he also wanted to show off his skills in front of the three sisters, so he prepared a sumptuous dinner.

Unfortunately, Xiaogang doesn’t seem to be as attractive as the food he cooks, otherwise, his emotional journey might not have been so bumpy along the way.

After dinner, I stayed in the gym. There were many rooms in the gym, so I didn’t worry about having no place to stay.

After a day of training, Xiaozhi returned to his room, took a shower, and fell asleep on the bed. Pikachu and Jigglypuff also slept together at the head of Xiaozhi's bed.

The next day

The next day, before Satoshi got up in the morning, the three Flower Basket sisters had already woken up Misty, who was sleeping soundly. Poor Misty couldn't even sleep until she woke up naturally after returning home.

She was taken directly to the dressing room by her three sisters to put on makeup and change clothes. While she was still confused, she changed into a mermaid costume with a human body and a fish tail.

"There are so many people here!" Xiaozhi and Xiaogang got up a little late.

However, although it was a little late, the Hualan Gym was already crowded.

Xiaozhi and Xiaogang were eating sandwiches, looking at the long queue of people waiting for the gym in front of them. Everyone had tickets in their hands. At this time, Sakura was already sitting at the front desk and started checking tickets for entry.

"Oh... If I had known, I would have collected tourist tickets at the Nibi Gym as well." Xiaogang couldn't help but speak when he saw this scene. He was in tears if he said too much. Their Nibi Gym was really too poor.

"Uh... I don't think anyone would buy a ticket to see the stone?" It's not that Xiaozhi wants to discourage him, but if that were true, the Nibe Gym might be closed down.

"Wow, wow, wow!!!" Upon hearing what Xiaozhi said, Xiaogang immediately burst into tears. Indeed, their Nibee Gym was too unremarkable compared to the Cerulean Gym and the Rainbow Gym.

And now there is another person who is in tears, that is Xiaoxia’s elder sister Sakura.

"Oh oh, that's great, our Hualan Gym hasn't been so full for a long time!!" It can be seen that the Hualan Gym has indeed been poorly managed during this period.

"Let's go in too!" As more and more people came, the hall began to become a little crowded. Seeing this, Xiaozhi said to Xiaogang next to him.

"it is good!"

Xiaogang carried the Togepi that Misty had placed with him, and followed Xiaozhi into the venue. There were quite a few people in the audience at this time. Fortunately, the Cerulean Gym itself was a performance venue, so there were plenty of seats.

I found a good seat and sat down. Soon the entire auditorium was full and the lights gradually dimmed.

Then, in the center of the venue, four glass panels suddenly rose up around the swimming pool, surrounding the rectangular swimming pool. Then the swimming pool rose in the central venue.

The water at the bottom began to rise, and soon formed a transparent water cube. The bottom of the swimming pool was decorated with coral reefs and white sand. It can be seen that the three sisters put a lot of effort into this performance.

Bang! ! !

As the lights dimmed, a beam of light hit the bottom of the swimming pool, and a group of Pokémon appeared first.

The Horned Goldfish, the Kingfisher, the Little Sea Lion, the Gem Starfish, and the Black Seahorse, some are Misty's Pokémon, and some are the Pokémon of the three Cerulean sisters.

Soon, the performance began amid applause. Xiaoxia stood on the high diving platform wearing a mermaid costume. It must be said that the costume was quite well done.

As soon as she came on stage, she heard deafening applause from the audience. It can be seen that Xiaoxia has done well and her charm is not inferior to that of her three sisters.

Soon, Xiaoxia began to perform interactive shows with the Pokémon in the water. In the past, the performances were all performed by the three sisters, but now the performances of Xiaoxia and the Pokémon are more popular.

"Although they only rehearsed for one day, the performance was very good!" Xiaozhi usually rarely watches any performances except for Pokémon battles. Maybe it was because of the presence of Pokémon, he felt that Xiaoxia's performance was good.

"After all, they are trainers from the Cerulean Gym, and every one of them is a good swimmer." Brock nodded slightly. In order to pursue the real movement of mermaids in the water, Misty didn't even use oxygen.

They were breathing secretly in some caves in the coral reefs, in blind spots that were invisible to the audience. Of course, they also brought portable oxygen masks just in case.

"The mermaid princess dances and plays with the Pokémon during the day, and rests in the shells at night."

At this time, Xiaoxia was lying on the shell bed prepared under the water. As the recorded narration ended, the shell bed closed at the same time, and the Pokémon slept next to the shell bed.

"Just at this moment, the evil hunters appeared and they wanted to capture the mermaid princess!!"

The lights shone on the diving platform again, and three figures appeared, but a mocking voice was heard.

　(Mamah) "We are not interested in little girls! Our targets are those Pokémon, meow!!"

"It's a bold and daring move to steal the gym's Pokémon in full view of everyone!"

"Come on! It's our turn to perform!" The three of them spoke in turn, and when they saw them, the expressions of Xiaozhi and Xiaogang in the stands changed.

"That's... Team Rocket?! These guys are so annoying!" Xiaogang couldn't help but grit his teeth and spoke as he looked at them.

"Where are Acorus and Peony?" Xiaozhi frowned slightly when he saw this. Team Rocket appeared, and Acorus and Peony, who were originally supposed to play the villains, must have gotten into trouble.

"We must have encountered those guys." Xiaogang said worriedly when he saw this.

"Let's go check it out!" Xiaozhi stood up holding Pikachu and Jigglypuff who was still eating popcorn. Xiaogang also quickly stood up and followed, and the two quickly ran to the backstage.

"Okay, it's almost my turn!"

After collecting her tickets, Sakura stood in the dressing room, changed her clothes, and prepared to perform.

"Wait a minute for Miss Sakura!!"

Just as Sakura was about to come out, Xiaozhi and Xiaogang ran in, and Xiaogang said to Sakura worriedly.

At this time, Xiaozhi and Xiaogang ran in, each holding a portable oxygen mask in their hands. This type of oxygen mask is not as bulky as diving equipment that requires an oxygen cylinder, but it can only be used in relatively shallow water.

"Sure enough, Miss Calamus and Miss Peony are not here!" Xiaogang looked around worriedly, but did not see any signs of Calamus and Peony.

"What are you talking about? Didn't calamus and peony appear?" Sakura arrived late and didn't know what happened.

"No...the guys outside now are..."

bang bang bang! ! !

Before Xiaogang finished speaking, he heard a noise. A sound suddenly came from the iron 443 wardrobe next to him. The three people were slightly stunned after hearing the sound. Xiaogang went forward and opened the wardrobe.

"what!!"

Two figures fell down at the same time, hitting the ground with confused looks on their faces. Sakura was also shocked when she saw this scene.

"Acorus, Peony?! How could you..."

"Those guys from Team Rocket did it!"

At this time, Acorus and Peony were both tied up with ropes, and their mouths were taped so they couldn't make any sound. Xiaogang responded while tying and untying the ropes for the two of them. Seeing this, Peony hurried forward to help.

"I'm there now!"

As Xiaozhi spoke, he took off his hat and coat, bit the oxygen mask and ran outside. Pikachu also followed Xiaozhi's footsteps while biting the oxygen mask.

When Xiaozhi took off his hat, he also threw the Jigglypuff on his head and his clothes onto the ground.

"Don't go! You can't sink!" Xiaozhi said and left with Pikachu.

Polly~~~~~

The abandoned Jigglypuff saw that Satoshi had left and immediately puffed up his cheeks (aebf).

It’s not that Xiaozhi doesn’t want to take it with him, it’s mainly because its body is full of air and it can’t sink in the water.

Ash ran outside with Pikachu and onto the diving board above the pool.

"Just at this moment, the Prince of Justice appears!"

The narrator also happened to arrive here. Originally, Sakura was supposed to appear, but now it was Satoshi who appeared.

At this time, a hole appeared in the ceiling above. Meowth was on the hot air balloon, waiting for Musashi and Kojiro to capture the Pokémon. Xiaozhi ignored it.

boom! ! !

He ran out with Pikachu and jumped down without hesitation. Although he had never practiced diving, Xiaozhi's physical fitness had been improved quite well over the years.

This height is not a problem at all. I dived into the water and then dived underwater, just enough to see the situation at the bottom of the water.

At this time, Kojiro was pulling a big net, and all the Pokémon in the other Cerulean Gym were caught in the net. Only Misty's Seahorse and the little sea lion in the gym escaped.

On the other side, Musashi was fighting Misty with Arbok.

Arbok was not slow at all in the water. Instead, it moved very agilely. It seemed that it was not affected by the water at all.

In fact, even if they are not Pokémon, most snakes, even if they are not water snakes or sea snakes, are good swimmers, so it is not surprising.

"Ink Seahorse uses Bubble Beam!!"

Xiaoxia now only has Seahorse to use. In order to save other Pokémon, she has no choice but to rely on Seahorse to fight.

After hearing the sound, Hippocampus released blue bubbles from its cylindrical mouth towards Arbok.

"Arbok, block it!" Seeing this, Musashi gave an order and Arbok took action instantly.

Under the water, Arbok swung its huge tail, which drove the water flow. The moment the bubble light hit, it directly swept away the bubbles of the bubble light.

After blocking the attack of Seahorse, Arbok rushed towards Seahorse. Xiaoxia's expression changed instantly when she saw this.

"Ink Seahorse uses ink!"

Seeing this scene, Xiaoxia had no other choice but to use ink to block it. Although it was not a special trick, it could affect the opponent's vision.

just! !

Arbok was blocked by the ink in front of him, but he swung his tail vigorously in front of him. The Ink Horse was standing behind the ink and did not react to Arbok's attack, so he was directly hit by Arbok's tail.

With a cry of pain, his body retreated uncontrollably, and Xiaoxia saw this and hurried forward to hug the ink seahorse.

"I'm sorry! You just recovered!" Xiaoxia felt a little distressed when she looked at the black seahorse. There was no good place for the black seahorse to swim.

She had just returned for one day and had just recovered a little bit. She was really not suitable for fighting, but all the other Pokémon were controlled and she didn't know what to do.

"Now is the time to show this little girl how powerful we are. Arbok uses poison needles to attack!"

After hearing the sound, Arbok opened his mouth and released purple needles from his mouth like a rainstorm, heading towards Xiaoxia and Seahorse.

At this time, the audience around did not realize that something was wrong. They thought it was a performance. They were all enthusiastic and found it novel. Xiaoxia's face was really panicked at this time, but in their eyes, the performance was lively.

"Squirtle uses High Speed ​​Spin!!"

At this moment, a sound was heard from behind, and a figure was seen moving in the water as fast as a rocket, leaving a long trail of bubbles behind it.

It is Squirtle. Its speed on land is not very fast, but its speed in water is amazing.

It rushed in front of Xiaoxia and Mohaima, retracted into its shell, and spun its body rapidly.

Bang bang bang bang! ! !

The poison needle hit the Squirtle which was spinning at high speed, and was directly bounced away by the force of the rotation. Xiaozhi and Pikachu also swam to the side of Xiaoxia.

"Are you okay?" Wearing this oxygen mask, you can talk in the water, which is the magic of this invention.

"It's okay, thank you Xiaozhi!"

Seeing Xiaozhi appear, Xiaoxia breathed a sigh of relief, and her cheeks flushed slightly when she heard the narration about the appearance of the prince.

"It's you again, little brat. This time it has nothing to do with you, so don't get in the way!"

Seeing Xiaozhi appear, Musashi was so angry that he gritted his teeth. It was rare that they didn't want to catch Pikachu this time, but the little brat still ran out of the gym.
