Pokémon Padea Adventure: The Journey Continues

Xiaozhi and his team finally lived up to the entrustment of the staff at the front desk of the Bottle Gym and Joel, traveled to and from the dry desert, and completed the task of delivering the wallet to Haidai.

After entering the Bottle City, Xiaozhi was so tired that he stuck out his tongue and said sickly.

"Finally back, after such a long detour..."

Xiao Qing lifted the Pokémon egg he was holding in both hands and answered with numb arms.

"But where should we go next?"

Suddenly, Xiaozhi and his party, who were still very tired, did not notice the changes in the city when they went deep into Bottle City. After they murmured a few words, they finally discovered the changes in the city.

"How is this going?"

I saw that at this time, the Bottle City was already crowded with people, and many tourists gathered. The surrounding shops were also decorated with lights, and most of the shops were restaurants. Passing by the place where Joel worked, a lot of people also gathered outside the Haidai Club.

Xiaozhi muttered unconsciously.

"What's happening? Why are there so many people..."

Pedestrians passing by kindly answered Xiaozhi's question after hearing it.

"Don't you know? It seems that you are tourists who happened to pass by. You are here today. Not only is the cooking competition in the Padia region about to be held here, but also many chefs from famous restaurants will participate. It can be said to be the most valuable event. A competition.”

Regarding the information provided by the pedestrians, Xiaozhi was so surprised that his eyes lit up. On the other hand, Pipa was a little absent-minded. Although he also wanted to show off his skills, there was always something lingering in his mind that made his heart Uneasy.

Piper said suddenly.

"Seeing that the area outside Haidai Club is full of people, we won't join in the fun. I think Joel is too busy at this time... so he will go to the Bottle Gym first and return our wallets to Haidai. Let the front desk staff know about Chef Dai."

Xiaozhi and Xiaoqing nodded, and soon they arrived in front of the Bottle Gym and paid a visit. The moment Xiaozhi and his group met the front desk staff's eyes, the staff member's face was suddenly filled with smiles. Before Xiaozhi could speak, the other person spoke first.

"You're back! Xiaozhi and everyone, I heard from Mr. Haidai who came back. Thank you for your help and helping us solve a lot of troubles. Especially during this period, there will be a themed event in Bottle City. Mr. Haidai will also be one of the judges for the "Bitter" cooking competition."

"And after you helped him get the legendary kelp that he wanted so much, he came back without saying a word and devoted himself to the research of developing new dishes. Fortunately, he has successfully produced it, and it is now a hot-seller at Haidai Club..."

Faced with the endless chatter of the staff, Xiaozhi and the others didn't even say a word, and the other party continued.

"... Please take a rest tonight and head to the upper area of ​​the Bottle Gym without stopping. Mr. Haidai has been waiting for you there for a long time!"

Faced with the "urge" from the front desk staff, Xiaozhi and his group did not ask what was going on. They only watched the other party hurriedly leave the Bottle Gym after explaining what they had said to Xiaozhi and the others.

Xiaozhi and the others were as confused as Monk Zhang Er for a moment, feeling baffled and a little at a loss.

"What should we do, everyone?"

"What can we do? Since it is a commission from Mr. Haidai, let's go and have a look. Maybe it's a tasting session for new dishes?"

After Xiaozhi answered Xiaoqing's words, a trace of drool slipped from the corner of his mouth, causing Xiaoqing and Pipa's faces to be covered with black lines.

After walking out of the Bottle Gym, Pipa's eyes lit up, and then he proposed.

"This is a rare opportunity, let's try to go to the elevator in the center of Bottle City!"

Xiaozhi and the others were also very interested and gladly accepted. They took a long detour to the central square of Bottle City. On the wall facing them, a huge lifting mechanism appeared in front of everyone.

As the elevator operated slowly, the white smoke evaporated, and the sound of gears turned. I saw a huge platform on the upper level, full of people standing on it, and they were slowly descending from above to the square. On flat ground.

Looking above the elevator, a warning light flashed red, indicating that the elevator stopped operating. The fence mechanism on the platform retracted, everyone left from above, and the downward movement of the elevator was completed.

After people walked off the platform, a small group of people who were originally in the square began to gather again and walked up the stairs in an orderly manner. Xiaozhi and his group also walked into the crowd who wanted to go up.

"Jingle Bell……"

The progress warning bell rang. After the elevator platform was filled with people, the fence slowly rose again, surrounding the people standing on the platform and ensuring everyone's safety.

The original red warning light began to change to green light, the machine operated and evaporated smoke, the gears turned again and made a sound, and with a "clang" sound, the ladder began to rise slowly...

Xiaozhi and his friends who were riding inside were shocked at first, but with the stable protection mechanism of all parties, they quickly calmed down and followed the tourists riding together, admiring the beautiful scenery in front of them.

In the process of ascending, standing high and seeing far, the vision is broadened. The beautiful scenery presented to Xiaozhi and the others is becoming clear one by one, and the air at altitude becomes fresher. A gust of breeze blew by, and I was contented to look down at the people in the square turning into black spots... After they reached the upper level, the presentation of the beautiful scenery also reached its peak.

Although Xiaozhi and the others have stepped down the elevator, they are still immersed in the weightless state of the elevator. For such an interesting device, it is a unique transportation facility in Bottle City. After experiencing it all in person, it is really strange. This trip is a waste.

Climbing to the upper area of ​​Bottle City, there is also a medium-sized square above. The ground of the small square above, like the ground of the lower square and the surrounding walls, is paved with various kinds of paving. They come in different sizes and are decorated with colorful broken bricks. Most of the bricks are decorated in blue color. Looking at Bo Ping City from a distance is a blue "ocean", which is also the origin of Bo Ping City's name.

When Xiaozhi and the others approached the upper square, they noticed an old man in a blue apron with a bald head and a beard in the center. This man was Haidai who was waiting for Xiaozhi and the others here.

After Haidai saw Xiaozhi and the others coming, he raised his arms high and waved towards them, shouting.

"Xiao Zhi and all the boys and girls, come here quickly, I've been waiting for you for a long time..."

After Xiaozhi and his party approached, they had a brief exchange with Haidai, during which Haidai expressed his deep gratitude to Xiaozhi and the others... and then a person who appeared next to him was the person who had been in the Bottle Gym before. front liner.

The other party came between Haidai and Xiaozhi, and then said to Haidai.

"Mr. Haidai, please call Xiaozhi and the others here to sort out the business first. There is still a lot of work that requires your participation in the follow-up!"

"Business?"

What the staff said made Xiaozhi slightly curious. What would Haidai tell them?

Haidai said with a slap on his forehead.

"That's right! I almost forgot, now is not the time for leisurely chatting. Xiaozhi, I agree to challenge you to the gym, please come over!"

"What! Agree to my challenge, but I didn't make such a request. How on earth did you know about it?"

Haidai laughed heartily and said.

"I'm not a fool. For what purpose would an ordinary person enter the Bottle Gym? In addition, the live video of Xiaozhi and the strange tree in the Niangguang Gym went viral in the Padia area, saying It’s impossible even if I don’t know you, right?”

Xiaozhi's mouth twitched slightly as he thought to himself.

"So that's it. People are really afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. When it comes to fame, I was originally cautious and decided not to show off my edge. I didn't expect that I would become famous in the Padia region in another way."

It's just the right time. Xiaozhi has already had this intention and is determined to win the city in the Bottle Gym. Xiaoqing and Pipa behind Xiaozhi also said.

"Go, Ash! Get your fourth badge in the Padian League!"

Xiaozhi nodded and replied.

"Okay Mr. Haidai, I'm glad you can accept my battle with you in the gym. So, shall we go back to the bottle gym?"

Haidai narrowed his eyes, stretched out a finger and shook it before saying.

"Why are you going back? This square is where we are going to have a gym battle. How about I ask the front desk staff of the Bottle Gym and a colleague of the referee to convey the purpose of bringing you here."

Listening to Haidai's explanation, Xiaozhi and the others also looked around and found that at some point, the square had been filled with many spectators. Most of the people present were like old friends with Haidai. After greeting them cordially, Haidai waved at them and responded politely.

"Uncle Haidai, come play with us!"

"Chef Haidai, I heard that your store has launched a delicious new kelp dish. I really want to try it!"

Haidai said with a smile.

"Okay, okay, hello everyone! Sorry, everyone, I still have work to do in the gym, and there are challengers waiting for me. Please make room for us..."

"Okay! Watching a wonderful gym battle before the meal is also a rare taste in front of the delicious food that will be enjoyed next."

With that said, everyone, together with Xiaoqing and Paipa, withdrew from the battlefield, leaving enough space for Xiaozhi and Haidai to display their fists and kicks. After standing in formation, Haidai said to Xiaozhi.

"Xiao Zhi, thanks to the help of you and your companions, you helped me a lot in Ziqin Town and enabled me to successfully develop the ultimate kelp dish... However, I will not show mercy in a gym battle. of."

Ash replied, equally dangerous.

"Then come on! Please, Mr. Haidai, you can use all your strength to fight me. I won't lose."

Facing Xiaozhi's response, Haidai crossed his arms and said with satisfaction.

"The auction is about the skill of buying and selling, the gym is about the skill of fists and kicks, the collision of moves and strategies, the whirlpool of the sea, the feast of water-type Pokémon. Come, come, come..., taste it with big mouthfuls. !”

With both sides fighting in high spirits, the referee raised his arms and spoke about the rules of the game.

"The Gym Challenge is about to begin. The number of Pokémon used is limited to three. Except for the challenger, the Gym Leader will not be able to freely exchange Pokémon present. All Pokémon of one of the two parties will lose their ability to fight. At that time, even if the game is over..., then now, the game officially begins."

At the referee's order, both sides released their own Pokémon...

Ash said after taking out a Poké Ball.

"Run Shuiya, I've decided to use you!"

As he spoke, a burst of red light flashed, and the duck landed in the center of the field. After appearing on the stage, the duck neatly wiped the hair on its head. But Xiaozhi and Runduck were shocked by the Pokémon sent by Haidai.

I saw Haidai taking out a Poké Ball from one of the many pockets on his apron and summoning the Pokémon inside.

After seeing that the Pokémon sent by Haidai was a light cod, in the previous surfing competition on Danbao Island, the group of wild light cod caused Xiaozhi and Runduck to suffer a lot, although they later fought with The group of cods got back together, but after seeing the cod sent by Haidai, they still couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

After losing its habitat in rivers, lakes and seas, the water-type Pokémon, Cod, first flopped on the ground like a salted fish when it came to land. Seeing this, Xiaozhi breathed a sigh of relief and lost the water. The light cod undoubtedly lowered its own ability value.

Just when Xiaozhi was thinking this, unexpectedly, the body of the light cod glowed with purple-red light, and then the body floated up in the air, just like it was in the water, moving freely out of thin air. Xiaozhi was stunned to see it.

"This..., how could this happen?"

Pipa, who was on the side, reminded Xiaozhi.

"You won't forget, Xiaozhi? In addition to being a water-type Pokémon, Cod is also a super-power Pokémon. This is its super-power move that allows it to swim in the air... "

"Hiss!"

When Xiaozhi was listening carefully to Pipa's science, the light cod opposite him let out an inappropriate roar, which startled Xiaozhi and gave the Runduck a blow. The Runduck also responded with a roar, Choked.

"Gada!"

The two Pokémon each screamed, roared, and struggled with each other. The battle was imminent and about to break out.

Then, Xiaozhi and Haidai gave orders in unison.

"Moisturize the duck, use water jet!"

"Light cod, use water jet!"

For a moment, the two Pokémon's bodies also erupted with turbulent water. After wrapping them, the two Pokémon were launched at the same time, and the two powerful water jet attacks collided with each other.
