Elf: Is the bear apprentice the weakest? I'll shatter the sky with my fists.

It seems that we need to speed up the process of going to the next gym.

After saying goodbye to Ye Rong and others, Li Chen also made some preparations.

In addition to consolidating my strength these days, I also said goodbye to the friends I knew.

One day, Li Chen boarded the plane for which he had already bought the ticket, and took off on Pidgeot flight H17.

...

...

The time is December 1st.

The destination of this trip is Loulan.

"Uh, cough, cough, this weather is really unbearable. It increased my special defense by 1.5 times."

Li Chen, who had just stepped out of the plane cabin, was almost swallowed by the dust and sand blown up by a sudden strong wind.

This is Loulan, a unique city in southwestern China, an ancient city nestled in the desert. (I misremembered the nickname for Lhasa, Tibet, so let's just consider it a parallel world.)

The sky is filled with yellow sand, as if even time has been weathered into sand on this land, flowing silently.

"Woo, it's so dry here. I want to take a nice shower." Latias exclaimed softly beside Li Chen.

She held Li Chen's arm, as if looking for a little support in this harsh environment. The weather here was so bad that Latias had to use her superpowers to block the wind and sand to prevent the flying gravel from hitting her face.

I have to say that the strong wind in this desert is very fierce, and it will torture people's eyes if you are not careful.

For a lady like Latias, she would never allow herself to be stained by even a speck of dust.

Soon, a transparent and colorless shield appeared around them, isolating the wind and sand.

The shield provided them with a brief period of peace, but Latias's heart was filled with doubts.

She looked at Li Chen, her bright eyes blinking slightly: "Li Chen, are you really sure there is an ice-type gym here?"

This piece of land covered with yellow sand was far from the ice-type Pokémon base she had imagined in her mind.

At least in Latias's understanding, ice-type Pokémon should be accompanied by cold ice and snow, and crystal frost, not yellow sand like this.

Take the Minlong Forest as an example. It has now become the world of ice-type Pokémon, and even the trees inside are covered with a snow-white veil.

That's where ice-type Pokémon live.

At least it's much better than this sandstorm weather.

Staying here, Latias had a feeling that he would be defeated after sixteen rounds.

"Hey, Li Chen, what are you doing? You can't look at your phone while walking! You haven't answered my question yet!"

Latias shook Li Chen's arm coquettishly, indicating that she had done so much and she had to answer the questions properly first.

However, Li Chen was not free at the moment. Latias's shaking was so strong that he subconsciously pulled his hand away and focused on his phone.

"Well, before challenging the gym, let's have an exciting qualifying match."

He was fiddling with the newly installed software on his phone, and Li Chen was so focused that he didn't hear Latias's voice for a while.

That is the [Pokémon Ranking] promoted by the League, a true nationwide competition!

At this time, Li Chen also entered his identity. With his professional-level combat power, he was directly classified into the super ball level.

After the super ball level is the advanced ball level, after the advanced ball level is the master ball level, and the top eight in the master ball level are also called the Eight Masters.

Most of the young people participating in the competition have a clear goal, which is to become an Eighth Master and prove their strength!

"Ding Di, your opponent has been matched. Please reach the nearest battle center within fifteen minutes to fight. The destination is five hundred meters away, please arrive as soon as possible."

A sweet female voice came from the phone. Li Chen glanced at the map, confirmed the location, and rushed over directly.

"Hey, can you please listen to me carefully?" Latias pouted, stood in front of Li Chen, and looked at him with an unconvinced look.

Li Chen scratched his head and asked, "Huh? What's wrong? I didn't hear clearly just now."

Seeing that Li Chen looked confused and didn't understand anything, Latias had no choice but to tell him what had just happened, and said that there was only wind and sand, so how could there be an ice-type Pokémon here.

"Oh, you're talking about this."

Li Chen suddenly realized what was going on. He was still wondering what was going on. It turned out that he didn't understand why he came to Loulan.

"The plane can only fly here. Tomorrow I have to take a train to the border. Mount Everest is right on the edge, and this is the closest city to it."

In fact, there is another point. The city of Loulan is located in the desert, which stores more abundant and pure ground energy than other places. It is the best choice for Zygarde to restore his origin.

We have to stay here for a while until Zygarde recovers to a certain level.

"It's been a long time since I've felt such a strong ground energy. Please stay a little longer and let me savor it."

Zygarde poked his head out from Li Chen's bag, and with it emerged a burning bug whose strength was improving rapidly and was about to reach the mid-professional level (40).

Compared with other Pokémon in the team, the improvement in the strength of Incirex is the most incredible. Even Ursa Major and Gyarados, the two who joined the team first, had to sigh: It's so terrifying.

The burning bug took a nap. Its strength has been increasing recently, and its physical fitness has not declined much either.

It felt that it was only a few steps away from evolution, but before that it would be best to complete the stone tablets in its body:

"After a while of settling down, I'll be ready to evolve. If possible, it would be best if you could get me the remaining half of the Fireball Slate."

Chapter 152: Zygarde appears... (?

"The Fireball Slate? That thing is a little hard to find. I'll keep an eye out for it for you and try to find it for you."

Li Chen touched his chin. The thing that the Burning Bug talked about was not easy to find. Half a stone slab must have been taken away by some organization.

Moreover, Incineroar is a Pokémon in [Scorched Earth Fall], and its body contains a whole piece of Jadeworm Slate and half of Fireball Slate. The remaining half is either in the hands of Chaos or in the hands of the Gods.

How to find these two organizations is a problem at the moment. Besides, the rarity of this kind of stone tablet is self-evident. Even if it exists, it must be given to the top leaders.

Considering his current level of strength, it would be difficult for him to seize the slate from these two organizations.

In that case, let’s focus on improving our strength!

Just in time for the battle, let the burning bugs have another go!

Following the precise directions on his phone, Li Chen arrived at the Loulan Battle Center at an extremely fast speed, as if assisted by God.

From a distance, the building of this alliance branch looks like a pillar standing in the yellow sand.

Its ochre-yellow shell blends harmoniously with the surrounding environment, and the wind and sand turn into invisible melodies when they gently collide with it, dancing with it.

This is the crystallization of the alliance's wisdom, a kind of black technology integrated into nature.

Not only can it self-adjust according to different terrains and weather, it can also transform the raging wind and sand into precious energy, providing a steady supply of power for this battle sanctuary.

I can only say that this is truly worthy of the technology of the Pokémon world.

As he stepped into the center of the battle, a warm current came towards him, dispelling Li Chen's fatigue.

He followed the instructions on his phone, stepped into the battlefield, and met his opponent - Nightingale.

She was wearing a black dress, the hem of which danced in the wind. Her bob hairstyle was even more unique. The left half was deep black, and the right half was pure white, like the interweaving of yin and yang.

Li Chen observed secretly that this yin-yang hairstyle was rare. Emegio in Pokémon Horizon also had a hairstyle with similar color matching.

Seeing Li Chen coming, Nightingale seemed a little nervous.

She bowed hurriedly and introduced herself in a trembling voice:

"Hello, I'm... Nightingale. I'm glad to have a battle with you! Can we... can we start now?"

There was a hint of panic in Nightingale's tone, but Li Chen keenly caught the flash of confidence in her eyes.

He glanced down at his phone, and the battle record data on the screen caught his attention - ten wins in ten games!

This record is like an invisible halo that shrouds Nightingale, making her look even more mysterious.

I didn't expect that this person was so cunning. The seemingly sweet and lovely girl actually hid such deep strength.

"let's start."

Li Chen skillfully opened the live broadcast, and this time he chose the title:

A newcomer's first time...

Challenge the qualifying round. 】

"This battle is a 2v2 match. If one trainer's Pokémon loses its combat capability, it will be deemed the loser. Now, the match officially begins!"

The classic Rotom referee appeared and loudly announced the start of the battle.

Both sides sent out Pokémon at the same time.

Nightingale clumsily took out the moon ball from her bag and threw it onto the field in a panic.

Seeing this, Li Chen felt anxious for her. She really looked like a newcomer.

However, when he saw the Pokémon sent out by the other party, Li Chen's brows suddenly frowned slightly.

It is a Pokémon whose appearance is covered with long hair. You can see that its hair covers its head, making it look like it has long hair.

It has pointed ears and nose, long teeth, and a sturdy body, and doesn't look like someone who's easy to mess with.

The same is true.

Li Chen is very familiar with this Pokémon. It is the famous assistant in Pokémon battles - Longhaired Troll!

With the appearance of the long-haired troll, Nightingale's entire temperament also underwent a drastic change.

The fierce momentum rushed towards him like a sharp blade. Facing this powerful momentum, Li Chen was unwilling to be outdone. He patted the bag at his waist and Zygarde poked his head out...

This battle, let it...

The burning bug next to it acts as a pioneer!

[Miss Shangguan (Fan Card Lv21): The hairy trolls seem a bit tough to deal with. Butler, what do you think?]

[Super Butler is talking about me: Um, Miss, well... I don't think it's fair to look at this rookie, Li Chen, with the same ordinary eyes. If an ordinary person used a burning bug to deal with a hairy troll, I'd just find it funny. But this is Li Chen, so I give it a 37-30 split.]

[Pure Deer Man: Butler, please be careful.]

[The super butler is talking about me: In three minutes, the hairy troll split seven times.]

[Kosuke Kuku comes out, Koan Kuku Lu:? So this is a 37-to-1 split?]

The online barrage was very lively, with many people expressing their opinions, and Li Chen also started the formal battle.

Get started and spin silk!

Gorgeous silver-white silk threads poured out and were sprayed by the burning insects towards the hairy troll. It didn't take long before it wrapped it up as tightly as a rice dumpling.

Seeing that Li Chen started by spinning silk, Nightingale gave up the idea of ​​breaking the wall first and chose to change his moves: "Bodybuilding will break the silk and then use fake kneeling to hit the wall!"

"long!"

The hairy troll gathered its strength, and with a "sizzling" sound, the silk exploded. Then it half-knelt on the ground, its dense hair dancing in the wind, even becoming as sharp as needles, and at the same time surrounded the burning insects!

Right now, it is in danger.

If the Burning Bug doesn't do something, it will be hit by this move that has greatly increased its power.

When dealing with a Pokémon like the Longhaired Troll, Li Chen chose to play it safe and directly counter the opponent's unique move with a killing move: "Big Character Explosion!"

Fiery and brilliant golden flames gushed out from the golden tentacles. The power that countless Pokémon longed for was now fully released by the petite Incineroar.

boom! ! !

A ball of golden flame in the shape of the word "big" carried a heat wave shock wave and attacked the hair flying in the air. At this time, strands of white silk threads also burned due to the arrival of the "big" explosion, and burned along the hairy troll's hair to its body, causing it to fall into a burn state!

"Is it spinning?!"

Now, Nightingale also understood why Li Chen used such a useless and almost useless silk at the beginning.

Just one move was enough to burn her Longhaired Troll, and the power of that Big Fire Explosion was not something a normal Pokémon could use.

That was the only move he could use right now. Nightingale spoke in a cold tone, a chilling gleam in his eyes: "Hairy Troll, Wall of Light!"

Please give me some urging, five-star praise, and free gifts

Chapter 153: Various Uses of Silk

Large characters shimmering with golden light exploded and flew towards him rapidly, and the flames attached to the hairy troll also rose up.
