Elf: Release? Not possible.

Chapter 890: Marcot Island (Subscription Request)

After capturing the new member Snorlax, Ash and the other two continued their journey to the island where the next gym was located.

Following Xiaojian's instructions, Xiaozhi and the others arrived at Markote Island first to rest.

Markote Island is a quiet and peaceful island covered with forests. Xiaojian seemed a little excited.

"Great, we're finally here!" Xiaojian said excitedly when they arrived on the island.

"Xiaojian, you seem very excited to be here?" Xiaoxia couldn't help but ask when she saw this.

"Of course. This Markote Island is a place that many observers want to visit."

"What's so special about this island...Ah!!!" Xiaoxia asked subconsciously after hearing the voice, but she was startled before she could finish her words.

Buzz!!!!

She saw a giant Beedrill flying through the air, which scared her. Xiaozhi felt a little helpless when he saw this.

"It's been so long, are you still so scared?"

Misty is afraid of Bug-type Pokémon. In fact, she has overcome a lot of this fear together with Satoshi, but she was still frightened by a Beedrill that flew by.

"Although I'm not that scared anymore, it still depends on what kind of Pokémon it is. I still find it hard to accept a ferocious Pokémon like Beedrill!"

Although I am not that afraid of Bug-type Pokémon, it still depends on what kind of Pokémon it is.

She can accept gentler ones like Butterfree, but she still cannot accept some of the more ferocious insect Pokémon.

"It turns out that even the fearless Xiaoxia is afraid of some Pokémon!"

Xiaojian spoke with some surprise. He had always thought that a girl with Xiaoxia's personality would not be afraid of anything.

"What do you mean by that?" Xiaoxia heard that and stepped on Xiaojian's foot angrily.

"Ah! It hurts!."

"Okay, stop messing around. Dragonite is already very tired. Let's go find the Pokémon Center first!"

Seeing this, Xiaozhi also spoke up at the same time, saying that riding a dragon was probably the most tiring part of traveling throughout the Orange Islands.

However, it likes swimming in the sea, so it enjoys it, but Xiaozhi has to take good care of it.

"Okay! Let's go then!"

Hearing what Xiaozhi said, Xiaojian also quickly responded and escaped from Xiaoxia's "clutches".

Several people went straight into the forest. There was also a town on Markote Island, which was different from the previous Naipuru Island.

The outskirts of Markote Island are completely forested, and the town is located in the center of the island, which is completely different from Naipuru Island where the town is all on the outskirts of the island.

The three of them walked through the forest and came to the Pokémon Center, where Ash handed all the Pokémon over to Miss Joy's care.

The three of them also went to the restaurant to fill their stomachs, and soon the Pokémon regained their spirits.

I have to say that although the challenges in the Orange Islands are different, there is not much fighting, so the Pokémon don't get hurt.

This means a lot less work for Miss Joy, as she only needs to help the Pokémon recover from fatigue.

It's still early and the environment here is nice, so Xiaozhi decides to take the Pokémon for some training.

Ash knew that the next two gym battles would involve a battle match, and while there were veteran members on the team, there were also new members who would need time to train.

After leaving the Pokémon Center, Xiaozhi found an open space with a lake in the forest and took out all the Poké Balls.

"Everyone, come out!"

Xiaozhi threw out all the Poké Balls, and soon the Pokémon appeared in front of him at the same time. The current lineup in Xiaozhi's hand includes Pikachu, Charizard, and Lupix.

These three are old members, while Dragonite, Miami-Miami and Snorlax are new members, and they are the ones who will be mainly trained.

Except for Snorlax, all other Pokémon are very energetic. Snorlax falls asleep as soon as it comes out.

But there was nothing he could do about it, as he fell asleep straight after being cared for at the Pokémon Center, and Ash didn't force it.

When Snorlax falls asleep, he cannot be woken up under normal circumstances. Moreover, Snorlax is different from Dragonite and Mimi who are still in the growth stage.

This Snorlax has the strength to compete in major tournaments, so it's okay for him to be a little lazy.

The characteristic of Snorlax is that as long as there is enough food and sleep, its abilities will continue to increase, so just let it sleep!

"I'll take this opportunity to observe and see if there are any Pokémon here that I haven't seen before!"

Looking at Xiaozhi, who quickly got into training, Xiaojian also took out his Poké Ball, released his own Pokémon, and prepared to start observing.

Xiaojian is an observer, and his Pokémon are all practical for his profession, one of which is Marill from before.

Marill is a water-type Pokémon, but it has one ability, which is excellent hearing.

Xiaojian's other Pokémon is Maoqiu, which is the early stage of the moth. Maoqiu has a pair of compound eyes that can see every angle, and is also a good partner to help Xiaojian observe Pokémon.

"Okay, Maril, Maoqiu, let's..."

Li Lu~~~~

As Xiaojian opened his mouth, Malilu's ears suddenly twitched, and then she looked towards the bushes next to her.

Tweet! ! !

When Maoqiu saw Maril's reaction, he also looked in the direction Maril was looking. His eyesight was very good and could even see through the dense woods.

Tweet! !

As if he saw something, he quickly pointed in the direction of the bushes. Xiaojian paused slightly when he saw this.

"What happened over there? (Hello Wang Nuo)" Xiao Jian asked puzzledly upon seeing this.

Both Mariloo and Maoqiu nodded. It was obvious that they had discovered something.

"Take me there quickly!" Xiaojian spoke quickly when he saw this.

"Hey! Xiaojian, wait a moment."

Seeing this, Xiaoxia quickly spoke, then looked at Xiaozhi. The two looked at each other and then followed.

Soon, led by Malilu and Maoqiu, they passed through the bushes, entered the dense forest, and came to another open space. At this time, they saw several green figures forming a circle.

In the middle, two figures are facing each other, looking tense.

"What is this?" Xiaoxia looked at the scene and spoke with a little surprise.

"Spy Mantis? This is the first time I see so many Spy Mantises!"

Xiao Jian was also surprised. Normally, one sees a Scyther alone, and rarely sees a whole group of them.

Chapter 891: Fight for the Leader (Subscription Request)

"What are they doing?" Xiaojian had never seen such a scene, and Xiaoxia naturally hadn't seen it either.

However, compared to bug-type Pokémon like Beetle, Caterpillar, Beedrill, and Megaguirus, Scyther did not give Xiaoxia a better feeling.

"It looks like they are competing for the leadership! This is a rare scene! I have to record it quickly!"

Xiao Jian spoke up immediately upon seeing this. An entire colony of Scythers was rare to begin with, not to mention a fight for leadership.

"So whoever wins will be the most powerful Scyther in the entire tribe?"

"Those two Scythers look so powerful. Who do you think will win, Xiaozhi?"

Xiaoxia also spoke with a bit of surprise, looking at the two Sly Mantises confronting each other in the field and couldn't help but ask.

"The one with the scar on his head!" Xiaozhi took a look and responded directly.

"Hmm? That one looks really fierce! But the Scyther on the other side seems to be even more powerful!"

There are two Scythers. The one Xiaozhi mentioned has an X-shaped scar on its forehead. It is obviously left after a difficult battle, a proof of a warrior.

Because of the bar, it looks more ferocious.

The Sly Mantis on the other side has a darker body color and looks very powerful.

It has the kind of feeling that can intimidate opponents with just its aura. It doesn't have any scars on its body, but that doesn't mean it's lacking in strength.

"Momentum is accumulated over a long period of time, but momentum cannot make up for the ravages of time!"

Xiaozhi also spoke at the same time. The Scyther was quite powerful, but it could be seen from the color of its body.

The darker color is not because it is a shiny Pokémon, but because it is very old.

"What do you mean?" Xiaoxia was slightly stunned and then asked.

"That Scyther looks quite old."

As an observer, Xiaojian heard what Xiaozhi said and took a look at the Scyther that Xiaozhi was talking about.

If you look closely, you can indeed see some signs of time on the body. For example, if you look closely at the wings, you can see some signs of wear and tear.

If it is a young Sly Mantis, it can recover slowly, but it obviously does not have enough energy.

"Ah! From the aura, I can't tell at all!"

After hearing what Xiaozhi and Xiaojian said, Xiaoxia was also a little surprised. The aura was indeed easy to fool people, but she didn't realize it at first.

"It's obvious that he should be the leader of the pack, but now that he's old, other Scythers are challenging him!"

Listening to Xiaoxia's words, Xiaozhi also spoke at the same time.

After hearing Xiaozhi's analysis, Xiaoxia began to feel that this old Scyther had no chance of winning, and couldn't help but feel a little sorry for it.

As a leader, he has been protecting the existence of the tribe, but after being defeated, what should he do?

"The war has begun!!"

When Xiaoxia was thinking, Xiaojian suddenly spoke, and at the same time, the sketching in his hands stopped.

Looking at the field, two Scythers rushed towards each other at the same time.

Seeing this, Xiaoxia also became nervous. The two sides rushed towards each other at a very fast speed. Judging from the speed and skills of the Scyther, it didn't look old at all as Xiaozhi and Xiaojian said.

Its movements were still swift, with both sides rushing towards each other and performing combos at the same time.

There was a flash of light on the sickle, which was swung continuously in the air, and the speed at which the sickle was swung was so fast that it could not be seen clearly.

Soon, the figures of both sides crossed each other, and only a sharp edge was seen flashing by, and the two figures crossed each other with their backs to each other.

"It's so fast! My eyes can't keep up, but it looks like that Scyther is not losing at all!"

Xiaoxia couldn't help but speak. Judging from the confrontation just now, it didn't seem as serious as Xiaozhi said.

"Look carefully!" Xiaozhi also spoke at the same time when he saw this.

"Ok??"

Xiaoxia was very confused and looked ahead. The Sly Mantis with a scar on its face still had a fierce look in its eyes and it seemed that the battle was intense.

Although the old Scyther was still fighting, his chest was rising and falling rapidly and his breathing was becoming more intense.

“Although my movements haven’t declined, my physical fitness has inevitably declined.”

"As the saying goes, a young and strong fist defeats a strong one. With its current physical strength, the opponent can withstand several of its attacks, but the opponent may only need one strike to defeat it!"

Xiaozhi began to explain to Xiaoxia's doubts. After hearing Xiaozhi's words, Xiaoxia's expression became serious.

Turning around and looking again, the Scyther with a scar on its forehead turned around and attacked again.

Although the old Scyther was already out of breath, he did not give up and continued to turn around and fight back.

The sickles of both sides collided again, making an unexpected sound of metal collision, and sparks continued to fly when the sickles collided.

As its physical strength declined, the old Sly Mantis soon reached its limit and flaws appeared in its movements.

The opponent seized the opportunity, blocked its scythe, and then began to launch crazy control.

The two swords were swung so fast that it was impossible to catch them. They slashed at the old Scyther continuously, and finally a heavy blow knocked it directly to the ground.

boom! ! !

Sa! !

The ground was filled with smoke. Scyther with a scar on his forehead landed and looked forward. The smoke slowly dissipated.

The old Sly Mantis was covered in wounds. It opened its eyes with difficulty and looked forward unwillingly.
