Divine Plan? But I'm a Pokémon trainer.

Chapter 88 Where did you get the money?
It would be a shame if I didn't have the chance to fight with Xiaozhi after coming to this world.

However, he could ask Yashida about this later, so Link should focus on the battle at hand first.

As his registration and application were accepted, he was led to the inner rock venue by someone who looked like Xiaogang.

Soon, he saw the figure who was not exactly the same as he remembered, but had the same skin color, hairstyle and squinty eyes.

"It's rare to find a trainer from the Hoenn region who comes to challenge me. I'm the owner of the Dark Gray Gym, and an expert in rock attributes, Brock! My Pokémon are as hard as stone and unyielding. Half-baked attacks have no effect on my Pokémon at all. Come on!"

The gym leaders in Kanto will also introduce themselves before the battle. I don’t know if this is a mandatory requirement of the alliance for gym leaders.

Link nodded and took a Poké Ball from his waist. "Rock-type attacks are powerful, but their speed and range of motion are slow, and their resistance is a hindrance. Have you overcome this shortcoming? Let me test you with this Pokémon."

Upon hearing this, Xiaogang's face darkened. The challenger is testing the gym owner?

It's simply the reverse of Tiangang.

"Ahem, I'm Jiulang, the referee of this gym challenge. I'm here to declare the battle officially open! Brother, quickly beat your opponent to a pulp!"

"Go, Rock Snake!"

"Firecat, prepare to fight."

This is the second time Link encounters Onix, but the elves he sends out this time are completely different from last time.

As Onix came onto the field, cheers for the gym leader were heard from the audience.

On Link's side, the little Snorlax behind him also raised the cheering stick he had received after the gorgeous competition.

"Gambi!"

"Meow~"

With someone behind him cheering him up, Litten is so excited!
It looked at the giant rock snake in front of it, which was dozens of times bigger than itself, and issued a "threat" without fear!
But it didn't work, the tiny body didn't pose any threat to Onix at all.

It was secretly unhappy about being looked down upon, and was determined to teach the other party a lesson.

"Onix, "Invisible Rock"!"

"Heh, speaking of singles, nails are indeed popular. You know what to do."

"Meow!"

I saw that Onix was concentrating the energy of rock attributes and transforming it into a large number of rock bombs that exploded at any time.

Just as he was about to shoot them towards Link's half, Litten found the perfect moment.

A move called "Loud Roar" swept across, and the dark sound waves attacked Onix, and at the same time, all the "Invisible Rocks" were detonated, causing slight secondary damage to it.

Xiao Gang narrowed his eyes and said, "You don't look like a newbie who knows nothing about battles. The Pokémon you sent out reminded me of a boy with a flaming roaring tiger from the Alola region not long ago."

After hearing this, Link had an idea in his mind. It seems that the Ash in the world line he traveled to is the Rainbow Warrior in the movie who cleared the league in one year and trained Pikachu to be on par with Ho-Oh. This is going to be interesting.

"Although Blazing Roaring Tiger is the final evolution, it is not superior to Litten in all aspects."

Link focused his attention on the battle field and discovered something interesting.

After being attacked by "Loud Roar", the indestructible rock on Xiaogang's Onix actually began to show cracks.

It turned out to be the "Shattered Armor" feature?
I saw Onix twisting around like a Oriental player, and the broken rocks on its body turned into sharp rock spikes scattered all over the battlefield, and it finally made the spikes come out.

At the same time, Onix's speed increased significantly as if it had been "polished by rock".

""Throw down harsh words.""

"Meow!" The venue is not suitable for me this time. I'll play again later!
Litten turned around and returned to the Poké Ball, but its own evil energy interfered with Onix's big and useless brain.

The latter immediately seized the opportunity and released a "Sandstorm" under the command of the trainer, further improving its own defense capabilities and protecting the rock spikes in the venue from being discovered.

If this move is used in real life, it will make it difficult for both sides to see clearly inside the arena, which will be a difficult test for trainers on both sides.

But Link disagrees and sends out the Water Wave Dolphin, which has mastered temporary flying skills after training.

As soon as it emerged from the Poké Ball, it spontaneously released "Tidal Whirlpool", allowing itself to temporarily float in the air under the support of a water tornado.

Water attribute elf?
Xiaogang was about to say that his Pokémon had overcome its fear of water, and that it was impossible to launch an effective attack using moves such as "Water Gun" in such a severe sandstorm.

The vigilance gained from daily training suddenly became stronger, and he noticed that abnormal ground-attribute energy was beginning to gather!
"Onix, hurry up and "harden" and "hold on"! "

However, it was the Water Dolphin that used its old trick again, using the "Power of Nature" to mobilize the rocky environment and the rock-type gym's rock attribute energy that had been activated by the sandstorm.

The result of this move was a violent "earthquake" that swept across the entire battlefield.

A violent "earthquake" struck the entire venue, and the ground shook and shattered the rock spikes on the surface, and then immediately struck Onix, which had strengthened its defense and was defending with all its might.

Although its own attributes were restrained, Onix's excellent physical durability allowed it to withstand this attack. The violent "Earthquake" couldn't even break its "Defense".

At least she had more combat experience than Du Juan. Link couldn't help but smile, "Your reaction was very timely. How about this move?"

A wave of unrest, a wave of up again.

Thanks to the defense, the "earthquake" that failed to achieve any success has subsided, and what followed was the "power of the earth" evolved from the "power of nature"!
"Earth Power" is also a ground-type move, but it is a special attack.

"Use 'Dig a Hole' to get through!"

There is still nothing wrong with Xiaogang's reaction and response.

Unfortunately--

The Wave Dolphin locked onto Onix's location through "ultrasound" and used the "power of the earth" to launch a strike that bypassed the barrier before Onix escaped from the attack range.

The weak Onix immediately lost its ability to fight.

"Just compare, just compare!"

Snorlax was waving his cheering stick vigorously, forming a sharp contrast with Brock's family in the audience.

"Come back, Onix, you've done a great job."

Xiaogang narrowed his eyes and used this short time to think of a countermeasure.

The opponent's Pop Dolphin has mastered "Tidal Wave", "Ultrasonic Wave" and "Force of Nature", and can use moves of three attributes: water, rock and ground in the current environment.

If he sends out spirits with rock attributes, they will be restrained by the ground.

If he sends out ground-attribute elves, they will be restrained by water-attribute elves.

Even for the ace Pterosaur, the "Rockslide" transformed by "Force of Nature" was enough to give him a hard time.

Completely blocked?

Not so!
"Go! Cradle Lily!"

Link: "???"

Where did you get the money?
