Elf: Release? Not possible.

Liuli introduced the venue and then explained the rules.

"Double match?" This was the first time Xiaoxia heard of it, so she felt a little curious.

"That's right. A doubles match means sending two Pokémon to fight at the same time."

"So that's why we need such a large venue!" Xiao Jian suddenly realized after hearing this.

However, the two were not worried about Ash, as he often commanded several Pokémon at the same time, so the most important thing he needed to pay attention to was the strength of his opponent.

"How's it going, Xiaozhi? Is everything ok?"

"no problem!"

"There is one more thing I want to make clear. My doubles match is different from others. After two Pokémon enter the field, if either one loses the ability to fight, you lose!"

Liuli explained the details of the rules again. Xiaoxia and Xiaojian looked at each other unconsciously. These rules were a bit strict.

In other words, the two Pokémon must cooperate with each other. Once one is defeated, the other one will have no chance even if it is strong enough to fight one against two.

This is indeed a little different from a normal doubles match. In a normal doubles match, even if one of the players falls, as long as the other is strong enough, there is still a chance to turn the tables.

"Sure!" Xiaozhi didn't care and responded calmly.

"Very good! As expected of Xiaozhi, then it is decided."

"However, since you just arrived today, why don't you rest in our hotel for a day? All the hotel services are free for you. How about we set the match time for tomorrow morning?"

After inspecting the venue and explaining the rules of the game, Liuli did not start the game immediately.

Instead, he generously let Xiaozhi and the others rest in the hotel first. Hearing this, Xiaoxia and Xiaojian's eyes lit up.

"Okay!" Xiaozhi thought about it for a while, and set off immediately after the previous issues on Asia Island were resolved.

The Pokémon didn't have much rest, so they really needed to rest, so Xiaozhi didn't object.

"Okay, then you can go and have a good rest! You can relax in the hot springs 'Seven-Four-Zero'. There is also a place dedicated to taking care of Pokémon. Prepare rooms for them. They are my guests, and we must treat them well!"

When Liuli heard that Xiaozhi won, she seemed very happy and then gave some instructions to the staff.

"Yes!"

The staff member responded. As the tortoise shell of their boss, the people under him naturally dared not neglect him.

Soon, Biao led Xiaozhi and the other two to their respective rooms. In order to save costs, the three of them basically lived together when traveling with Pokémon in the past.

This time, the hotel thoughtfully prepared luxurious rooms for the three of them.

Liuli prepared the highest standard presidential suite for the three of them, which was naturally comfortable and had excellent service.

Not long after they put down their luggage, someone informed them that the meal was ready. Although they could eat in the room, the three of them still preferred to go to the restaurant.

After filling his stomach, Xiaozhi handed the Pokémon to the care of the hotel's special convalescent staff.

Although they are not Miss Joy, their skills are not bad at all.

In fact, private convalescents like these are all Pokémon doctors and Pokémon breeders.

Private hiring costs a lot of money. It is much more expensive to find a private doctor or breeder to take care of Pokémon privately than at a Pokémon Center. Then the three of them went to the hot spring to relax.

"I've never seen a doubles match before. Xiaozhi, have you decided which two Pokémon you want to send?"

Xiaoxia asked while giving Togepi a bath.

"Not yet!" Xiaozhi lay on the edge of the hot spring with his eyes closed, and responded calmly to Xiaozhi's words.

"I don't know what kind of Pokémon Ms. Liuli will use, but if one of them loses its ability to fight, they lose! In other words, the emphasis is on the cooperation between the two Pokémon!"

Xiao Jian also started to analyze. To put it simply, it is about protecting and cooperating with each other. It is impossible to fight alone.

If they don't have good tacit understanding and can't cooperate, and are defeated one by one by the other two who work together with their tacit cooperation, things will be troublesome.

"Xiaozhi seems to have never practiced doubles battles with two Pokémon. Ms. Liuli's Pokémon must have been trained in this aspect."

"Xiaozhi, why don't you try it while there's still time?" Xiaoxia was a little worried after hearing that.

No matter how many Pokémon he commands, she has confidence in Xiaozhi. However, when it comes to the tacit cooperation between the Pokémon, Xiaozhi has not yet received special training. After all, this is not the mainstream of the competition.

"It's too late to practice tacit understanding now?" Xiaozhi still didn't open his eyes.

Although tacit cooperation is important, the strength of Pokémon is also important.

There won't be any conflicts between Charizard and Pikachu like in the anime, as they can definitely crush the opponent with their strength.

Or if Charizard and Snorlax were to be put on the field, the effect would probably be similar, but this was the last gym in the Orange League, and Ash still wanted to hurry up and train his troops.

So tacit understanding is still necessary, but it is obviously too late to cultivate it now. However, some simple cooperation should still be possible with the strength of the Pokémon in my hands.

Seeing that Xiaozhi remained silent, the two knew that Xiaozhi must have his own considerations, so they did not disturb him any further.

The next day

After resting for a night at the Longshen Hotel and soaking in the hot springs, the three of them felt refreshed the next day.

The Pokémons have also regained their vitality. Xiaozhi brought back the Pokémons early in the morning and went out alone. He came back at dinner time. 0 ....

The Pokémon that would be on the field had already been decided, and their tacit understanding could not be improved temporarily, so Xiaozhi made some simple tactical deployments for them.

After the three of them had breakfast, Liuli sent someone to invite them to the competition venue.

Led by the staff, they soon arrived at the competition venue. Liuli seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and smiled when she saw Xiaozhi and others arriving.

"You are finally here. Did you rest well yesterday?" Liu Li saw the three of them and looked at them with concern like an elder.

"Very good! Thank you for your hospitality!"

The service and environment of a hotel like this is a luxury for trainers who travel frequently.

"Haha! You're welcome. This is also to keep the challenger in perfect condition. How about it, Xiaozhi, you should have decided which two Pokémon to use!"

Liuli waved her hand generously, and then asked.

"Yeah!" Xiaozhi also nodded slightly in response.

"In that case, let's begin!" Seeing this, Liuli walked into the competition arena, and Xiaozhi naturally walked to the challenger's position.

A hotel staff member acted as referee for the match and walked to the side of the field.

"Ligan Gym, Gym Challenge, the challenger is Satoshi from Pallet Town, against Gym Trainer 1.5 Luli."

"In this match, according to the rules of the Liugan Gym, a two-on-two doubles relay will be used, and the winner will be decided in one round!"

The staff loudly announced the results of the competition again, and Xiaozhi and Liuli took their positions.

"Now, both sides please send out your Pokémon!"

As the staff spoke again, Liuli took out the Poké Ball first.

"Then I'm going to get on Xiaozhi, so you better be careful!"

As Liuli spoke, she threw out a Poké Ball, and two figures soon appeared on the field.

There were two figures, one tall and one short. One of them was holding a spoon in both hands and looked like an old man. The other one was holding a drumstick and had a skull of some animal on his head.

"It's Alakazam and Gallap Alam!" Not to mention Satoshi, Misty also recognized the two Pokémon at a glance.

"Alakazam is a powerful Psychic-type Pokémon that can handle any situation!"

"Garakara should be guarding against Xiaozhi using Pikachu!" Xiaojian analyzed the situation while looking at the field.

There is no doubt about Alakazam's strength. It is one of the strongest psychic-type Pokémon and is a jack of all trades in the team. It will not be at a disadvantage when encountering any attributes.

And Gallant is a ground-type Pokémon, and it is obvious that it is allowing Ash to send out Pikachu.

"Then what will Xiaozhi send out? At the moment, Dark Elves and Dragonites are the most suitable!" Xiaojian became a little worried when he saw this, and then looked at Xiaozhi.

According to Xiaozhi's current lineup, it would be more advantageous for Dark Elf and Dragonite to work together.

"Yeah! But... considering Xiaozhi's personality, I think..."

Xiaoxia nodded slightly. It was indeed the case from the attribute point of view, but based on her understanding of Xiaozhi, she should not be surprised by what happened.

"I'll send them!!"

Xiaozhi took out two Poké Balls at the same time and threw them into the field.

boom! ! !

A dull sound suddenly rang out, the ground shook slightly, and a tall figure appeared in front of everyone first.

Kirby!!!

Xiaozhi's first Pokémon is Snorlax. Luli had already seen this Pokémon yesterday, but Xiaozhi didn't expect to send it out again today.

The second Pokémon was blocked by Snorlax. After Snorlax appeared, it slowly walked out from behind Snorlax.

Continuous!!!

"Hmm? Mianmian?"

Not only Liuli, but also Misty and Jian were a little surprised. Snorlax was understandable, but after seeing Gallant, Xiaozhi sent out Miang-mien instead of Pikachu.

If you have to choose between Pikachu and Miami, Pikachu will definitely be more stable.

"Xiaozhi, the combination you sent out is very interesting!" Liuli just felt a little surprised, but did not take it lightly.

What makes her different from other gym trainers is that she is older, has experienced more than others, and has a maturity and stability that young trainers do not have.

"Then the game begins!!"

The staff also announced the start of the game. As the challenger, Xiaozhi took the lead in launching the attack.

"Mianmian uses Discharge!"

cotton!!!

After hearing the sound, Mianmian raised her hands and released strong electricity from her body, which expanded directly in front of her eyes, forming a large-scale attack.

"Alakazam uses telekinesis!!"

Ruri immediately began to counterattack. Although Garagara was not afraid of electric-type attacks, Alakazam would still be attacked. The range of the electric discharge was too large, and Garagara could not help Alakazam resist.

Woody!!

After hearing the voice, Hu Di raised the soup spoon in his hand, and his eyes flashed blue light instantly.

All the electric lights that were attacking him gathered together in an instant, as if they were twisted into a strand like a braid, and then suddenly changed direction and bounced back in the direction of Mianmian.

"Mianmian, get out of the way!"

Upon seeing this, Xiaozhi spoke at the same time. After hearing the voice, Mianmian jumped backwards to avoid the rebounding attack, and at this time Liuli quickly cooperated.

"Gargh, use the bone boomerang!"

GALALALALAL!!!

After hearing the sound, the drumstick in his hand instantly flashed with silver light, and then he threw it directly in the direction of Mianmian.

Bone Boomerang is a ground-type special move, and has a significant effect on the electric-type Mianmian.

"As expected of Ms. Liuli, the Pokémon are so well coordinated!"

While Mianmian was unable to dodge the rebounding electric shock, Galagala took the opportunity to launch an attack. Xiaoxia and Xiaojian in the audience also became a little worried.

"Snorlax, block it!!"

Xiaozhi spoke at the same time when he saw this, and saw that the bone boomerang was about to hit Mianmian. However, when Xiaozhi's voice rang out, he saw Snorlax suddenly appear in front of Mianmian.

Duang! !

The bone of Garagara hit Snorlax's belly, and Snorlax's belly instantly shook like jelly. Then the bone bounced back directly.

"what?!"

Liuli was also a little surprised to see this scene. Judging from Snorlax's size, she thought it would be too late for him to do anything.

She had also been secretly keeping an eye on Snorlax and had Alakazam stare at it, worried that it would suddenly attack. She had witnessed the power of Satoshi's Snorlax yesterday.
