Pokémon's Zao Qian

"Finally got the fifth badge."

After placing the badge into the badge box.

Hayao took a long breath.

When I was about to leave the gym and go to the Pokémon Center to heal my Pokémon.

"Please wait a moment, Mr. Hayasa!"

Xiaozhi's shout came from behind.

Hearing this, Zao Qian stopped.

He turned around, looked at Xiaozhi who was running towards him behind him, and asked:

"What's wrong? What can I do for you?"

"I...I want to have another battle with Mr. Hayasa!"

Xiaozhi said somewhat breathlessly.

[New missions open! 】

【Accept Xiaozhi's challenge and win the next battle! 】

[Task reward: "Pokémon" card pool lottery chance +1! 】

See the mission that suddenly appears, and the rewards for this mission.

Zao Qian couldn't help but her eyes lit up.

[Pokémon] Card pool, this is rare!

Then he turned his head and said to Xiaozhi:

"Why do you want to fight me?"

"Because, I want to know what the gap is between me and Mr. Hayasa?!"

Xiaozhi said firmly.

"That's it, then, I will accept your challenge!"

Zao Qian nodded and accepted.

"Mr. Hayasa, are you going to fight Xiaozhi again?"

"Is this the second battle between the two of them after they have grown up? I'm really looking forward to it."

The people around Zao Qian and Xiao Zhi suddenly became excited.

"Mr. Hayasa, do you want to have a battle with Xiaozhi? It's really interesting. If possible, I can lend you the gym venue first. It happens that the gym will be closed for the day tomorrow."

Qianli suggested from the side.

"Well, then I'll trouble you, Mr. Qianli."

Zao Qian nodded and agreed.

Then he looked at Xiaozhi:

"So, what are the rules?"

"I want all the Pokémon I have so far to have a battle with Mr. Hayasa!"

"How many Pokémon do you have?"

"Five!"

Koichi replied.

"Okay, so this battle will be a five-on-five battle, but..."

Zao Qian continued.

"I need to go to the Pokémon Center first to treat my Pokémon. You can also prepare for this."

"Okay, then we'll make an agreement!"

"Well, see you tomorrow."

Zao Qian turned around, walked out of the gym, and walked to the Pokémon Center.

......

Soon, Zao Qian sent his three Pokémon, Swampert, Ice Elf, and Kirulian, to Miss Joy for treatment.

After treatment is completed.

Zao Qian sat on the communicator at the Pokémon Center.

A series of numbers were dialed.

"Hey, this is Dr. Odamaki, who is he?"

What caught his eye was Dr. Odamaki, who was making instant noodles.

"Dr. Odamaki, it's me, Hayasa."

"Oh~ It's Zao Qian, how are you doing recently?"

"It's good. Now I'm in Chenghua City and I've just finished challenging the Chenghua Gym."

"Chenghua Gym, that is, you and Qianli have..."

"Yes, I have successfully challenged Mr. Qianli. By the way, how is the situation with the Megalodon and the Night Demon?"

Zao Qian asked about the status of his two Pokémon stored with Dr. Odamaki.

"Oh~, them!"

Dr. Odamaki took a sip of his instant noodles, took a sip of soup, and continued:

"Both the Megalodon and the Night Demon are in good condition, but the Megalodon is a bit too naughty and wants to bite everything it sees."

"As for the Nightmare, because it is a Pokémon I have never seen before, I want to do some research on it, but it is too indifferent to us and is difficult to get close to."

Hayao:......

I knew that putting those two guys over there would be bad!

"Okay, thank you, Dr. Odamaki. I am contacting you this time because I want to store it with you and then bring it here."

"Because, I will have a battle with Xiaozhi tomorrow."

......

Inside the Chenghua Gym.

"Hey, everyone, I'm not late, am I?"

Zao Qian walked into the gym and said to everyone in the gym.

"No, Mr. Hayasa, you came just in time!"

When Xiaozhi and the five Pokémon next to him saw Zaoqian, their blood boiled with excitement.

Zao Qian also looked at the five Pokémon next to Xiaozhi.

Pikachu, Forest Lizard, Lobster Minion, Coal Turtle.

And...Dawangyan!

"Huh? Judging from the timeline, shouldn't this King Swallow still be the Proud Swallow at this time?"

Zao Qian's heart was full of questions.

[That’s because after the last battle between you and Xiaozhi, Proud Swallow’s desire to defeat you became even more intense, so it evolved in advance. 】

Hayao:......

Good guy, no wonder I saw this giant king swallow looking at me as if it wanted to kill me!
