I, Zhulan's childhood sweetheart, was trapped in Xicui.

As the little flame monkey's heavy breathing sounded again, Bu Bo had completely fainted on the ground, motionless.

Xiaoguang couldn't believe it: "Bubo..."

The referee decisively raised the flag: "Bu Bo has lost his ability to fight."

This caused a burst of excited cheers from the audience. After all, a reversal from desperate situations is the most eye-catching.

The little flame monkey who defeated Bu Bo turned around and looked at the tree monster that was swaggering away and waving the Tile-Splitting Shock Beast madly, and fighting spirit appeared in his eyes again.

"spread!"

It transformed into a wheel of fire again and attacked the tree monster.

But the tree monster was not as easy to deal with as Bu Bo. The tree monster directly used protection and erected a barrier in front of him.

Bang—the flame wheel hit it with only a crisp sound and bounced back.

"suddenly?"

The tree looked at the monkey strangely, wondering why he was still fighting even though he was so exhausted. It wasn't a life-and-death battle.

"spread!"

But the little flame monkey refused to give in and turned into a flame wheel to attack again.

The tree was so strange that it had no choice but to fight back.

Although the little flame monkey ignited a fierce fire, it was still no match for the tree monster.

Just a minute later, the little flame monkey fell to the ground powerlessly, losing its ability to fight.

Despite this, the audience still applauded the little flame monkey.

Meanwhile, the Electabuzz on the side continued to use Tile Splitting at the air, seeing that the game would not be over for a while.

The bored tree monster played the role of a tree on the battlefield, holding up the branches in his hands and standing still.

It's in stark contrast to the constantly swinging Electabuzz.

The audience also watched this scene in a funny way, laughed happily, and applause rang out again.

But when it reached Shinji's ears, he felt that it was like a mockery of his incompetence, causing Electabuzz to completely disobey his command.

Finally, Electabuzz ran out of energy.

"Electabuzz loses its ability to fight. All Pokémon on Ash Shinji's side lose their ability to fight."

"Congratulations to Xiaozhao and Xiaoguang for winning the championship!"

The referee's voice sounded.

Xiaoguang happily hugged Xiaozhao beside him and said, "Great! That's great, Sister Xiaozhao!"

After the battle, Xiao Zhao could still hear Emrito's clear and joyful cry...

the other side.

Xiaozhi walked over to the fallen body of Blaze and smiled, "Blaze, you've done a great job. Let's continue to become stronger!"

"spread…"

The little flame monkey also forced a smile.

Shinji stood there, staring blankly ahead, his fists clenched by his legs, feeling incredibly humiliated...

The little Infernape that was abandoned by himself immediately burst out with the super inferno ability that he had never dreamed of in Ash's hands, and gave a performance that made the audience cheer.

However, the Electabuzz that he evolved under extreme pressure became like a clown in the hands of the Treemon, making the audience laugh.

Shinji's mind once again echoed with Xu Li's words to him...

"Now that you are defeated, can you please say..."

"Useless trainer."

……

Xiaozhao and Xiaoguang walked down the award ceremony and received the prizes for this doubles competition, two soothing bells.

Jingle bell bell~

Xiaoguang put the Soothing Bell on the healed Eevee, and Xiaozhao also put the Soothing Bell on her Eevee.

All of a sudden.

Xu Li's New Leaf Cat, Xiao Guang's Buddy, and Xiao Zhao's Eevee all have a bell on their necks. They play with each other and make pleasant and comforting bell sounds.

Xu Li's Infernape went to guide Xiaozhi's Infernape.

Although their fighting styles are somewhat different, you can tell by looking at their characteristics.

Xu Li's Flame Monkey's iron fist characteristic means that it fights by smashing in circles, trying its best to avoid getting hurt.

Compared to Xu Li's Infernape, Ash's Infernape's Fierce Infernape characteristic is more explosive, and it may require some injuries to trigger the Fierce Infernape.

But this is in line with Xiaozhi's command style.

Although their fighting styles are different, Xu Li's Infernape still has a lot of skills to teach to Chikato. It treats Ash's Infernape like a junior.

Xu Li also followed the Flame Monkey.

Shinji left quietly after the award ceremony.

Xiaozhi, the only one who cares about him, wants to look for him, but he can't find anything...

...

late at night.

Xu Li stroked Zhulan's dazed face, his fingers sliding across her soft but sweat-stained blonde hair.

"I'm leaving for Hoenn tomorrow..."

"..."

After a long while, Zhulan muttered, "Are you disgusted with me again..."

Xu Li quickly shook his head: "How is that possible? I can dislike anyone but I will never dislike my Miss Zhulan."

"Then you still..."

"Daigo recently sent me some news about Hoenn..."

"Well...really...how am I inferior to Daigo...you've been talking to Daigo more than me lately!"

Xu Li curled the corner of his mouth. How can this be compared?

I could only pat Zhulan's soft body gently and speak softly.

"You're better than Daigo everywhere, especially here..."

"Well... let's do it again!"

"Don't... uh..."

Xu Li couldn't resist.

Zhulan bullied him again.

Chapter 97: Keystone, the Girl of the Dragonite

Six days later, in the Hoenn region, Kanaz City.

"Huh... finally here, luckily there were no accidents this time..."

Xu Li touched a grass-green gem hanging under the lining and slowly walked into Kanaz City from the southern beach.

"Buyi..."

Fairy Eevee turned its head curiously and looked behind it. It saw the intertwined footprints of it and Xu Li on the beach, one big and one small. It didn't know what it was thinking about, but it squinted its eyes happily.

Xu Li gently pulled the ribbon on his arm: "What good things have I thought of... I can't even walk."

"Buyi!"

Fairy Eevee shook her head lightly, jumped to Xu Li's side, and entered Kanaz City with Xu Li with a smile.

Kanaz City is a large city in the western part of Hoenn, with people coming and going and tall buildings standing in rows. The most conspicuous building in the city is the Devon Building in the central and western part of Kanaz City.

When Xu Li walked to the front of Devon Building with Eevee, someone was already waiting there.

Wearing a pure black suit and silver-white hair, he looks like a noble young man. From the outside, he doesn't look like the champion protecting a region. Of course, Daigo is indeed a young man.

Seeing Xu Li coming, Daigo's eyes lit up: "Xu Li, we finally meet! What a cute Fairy Eevee! If Mikoli saw you, he would definitely pester you to participate in his gorgeous competition."

Although he had only chatted with Xu Li on the communication software before, Dawu and Xu Li were already very familiar with each other.

In the past few days, they talked about everything from Padiya's Taijinghua to various stones. Xu Li was able to quickly analyze the differences in their effects, so Daigo felt that they would definitely get along well.

Xu Li smiled and said, "Then I have to hide my Eevee. It doesn't like that kind of scene."

"Buyi!"

Fairy Eevee also nodded seriously.

"Hahaha, come on, I'll take you to visit our Dewen Building." Daigo laughed.

...

Although it was a tour, the first place Daigo took Xu Li to was the battlefield where they had fought against Dewen.

"This is a battle arena newly developed using our Dewen core technology, capable of simulating a variety of terrains!"

Daigo introduced and activated a button next to the battle field.

Buzz—in less than half a minute, the edge of the field changed from a standard battlefield without any obstacles to a rocky field made up of rocks.

"Hurry up, let me see your sticky dragon, Xu Li. I've wanted to see it for a long time..."

Daigo grinned and looked at Xu Li expectantly.

Xu Li also smiled, and Daigo's thoughts were exposed at once.

However, this is also the reason why they met in the first place and the content of their transaction.

boom…

The Washed Green Slimy Dragon appeared on the rocky battlefield with a steel snail shell on its back, looking around curiously.

"This... is right, the smell of steel... By the way, do you want to eat this?"

Daigo stroked the big snail shell of Nian Meilong with admiration, then took out a piece of red steel from his arms and asked Nian Meilong.

"sticky?"

Slimy Dragon sniffed and looked at the steel, unable to understand why he should eat it, and squinted his eyes and shook his head.

"So you don't like it either..." Daigo took it back helplessly, "This red streak ore is Metagross's favorite food..."

"My Slime Dragon isn't made entirely of metal like Metagross..." Xu Li complained.

Like other Pokémon, Smelly usually eats the energy blocks he prepares and has never been interested in other steel.

"That's right..." Daigo smiled.

"Didn't you say you tamed a sticky baby?" Xu Li asked.

"Here..."

Daigo threw a Poké Ball, and a Slimy appeared in front of Xu Li's Dragonite, looking very lively.

"Sticky!"

Then Nian Nian Bao looked at Nian Meilong with his eyes wide open.

How come this senior is even bigger than the largest slimy dragon it has ever seen, and it even carries a huge iron shell on its back? Isn’t it heavy?!

"Sticky plum!"

Slimy Dragon shook his head decisively. The Slimy Dragon with a big iron shell on its back is the real Slimy Dragon!

In the past, if their tribe could not evolve to carry a big iron shell... they would rather not evolve. Its father was such a person.

"sticky…"

Nian Nian Bao blinked in confusion... Is that so...
