Pokémon Padea Adventure: The Journey Continues

The light from the crystallized bodies of Pokémon on both sides, and the light from the "Power Gem" emitted by the Salt Giant, illuminated the entire venue. The flashing light shone brightly, stinging the eyes of the people around them. The crucial confrontation flashed in an instant. And passed.

When the dazzling light ended, everyone saw that the two Pokémon fighting had become back-to-back.

The third pair of legs of the Fierce-Legged Locust were retracted, folded back and refolded on the back. The originally retracted legs landed on the ground, returning to the original position, unlocking the "Decisive Mode" just now. After staggering for a while, Lieleg Locust fell to his knees in pain...

Just when everyone thought that the defeat of the Flaming Leg Locust was decided, the Salt Stone Giant Spirit, which was still standing on the spot, suddenly fell on its back. After falling to the ground, the crystalline state of its body was also released, and it lost its ability to fight.

After people saw a scar on the chest of the Salt Stone Giant Spirit, they discovered that during the confrontation just now, the body of the Fierce-Legged Locust was scratched by several oncoming rounds of "Power Gemstones", and there were no injuries. He was hit in a vital part, so he became scarred just now, and then the "Decisive Mode" was released.

However, the Salt Stone Giant's final attack failed to defeat the Flaming Leg Locust. Instead, it was hit by the opponent's "Abyss Thrust" attack and lost its ability to fight.

The Fierce-Legged Locust also released his own crystalline state, collapsed to the ground and gasped for breath. The performance venue also lit up again as the last crystalline state disappeared.

The winner has been decided, Pina announced the result of the battle.

"The Salt Stone Giant lost its ability to fight, and the Flaming Leg Locust won, so the result of this doubles battle is that Ash won."

Xiaozhi, Pikachu, and Olinyu who had recovered their breath beside them, came to the Flaming Legs Locust together, celebrating the Flaming Legs Locust's victory. Olinyu thanked Lieleg Locust for its protection with a grateful look on his face, and Lieleg Locust also breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Olinyu regain his strength.

"Great, Blazing-Legged Locust! You have won. Have a good rest. I will send you to the Pokémon Center soon..."

With that said, Xiaozhi took out two Poké Balls and put the weakened Olinio and Fierce-Legged Locust back into their Poké Balls.

Xiaoqing and Pipa who were standing next to Xiaozhi came to Xiaozhi to celebrate his victory. Taimu on the opposite side also put away the Salt Stone Giant and came to Xiaozhi to give him sincere praise.

"Xiaozhi, congratulations on your victory. In the battle just now, your Pokémon performed very bravely. I believe you had a colorful trip during your adventure outside school, right?"

Xiaozhi nodded and replied.

"Yes, Teacher Taimu. Fortunately, I was accompanied by Xiaoqing and Pipa during the journey, which allowed me to get to know different people and Pokémon. If it weren't for me, I wouldn't be able to get here."

Witnessing the growth of students in the college, Taimu, one of the teachers, was also very moved and continued.

"Yes, your presence has strengthened my original intention of becoming a teacher in the academy. I understand that it is not a pity not to be the gym leader. I deeply understand that my year of service is worthwhile."

With that said, Taimu talked with Xiaozhi and his friends for a long time about their stories in the academy when school started. Not far away, Pina fell into deep thought and enviously wanted to be included in their conversation, but she couldn't help herself. It's been a while since I left the academy.

Just when Pina was lost in thought, Xiaozhi noticed the other person and immediately ran to him and said.

"Pina, I passed the pre-match test battle, when will I be allowed to take on the gym challenge of the "Freezer Gym"! "

Seeing Xiaozhi's arrival, Pina's body shook first, and then hesitantly answered.

"Then..., um, Xiaozhi, you can't challenge the gym yet! Why?...How to say..."

Xiaozhi replied anxiously.

"What do you mean you can't? I came here for the pre-match test just to be able to compete in the gym challenge! I performed and won the doubles battle, why do you still say that I can't compete in the gym challenge?"

"I don't mean that I can't..., at least not now. It will take a few days to give you an answer..."

After hearing the dispute between Xiaozhi and Pina, Taimu came with Xiaoqing and Pipa. After figuring out what they were arguing about, Taimu asked Pina.

"Pina, I think you are in such trouble because my sister Lem is not in the gym, right?"

Pina didn't expect Taimu to say it clearly. He could only nodded and explained honestly.

"That's right, Ms. Lime went out to participate in an underground rap competition. For this reason, she asked me to hold down the trainers who came to the gym to challenge me until she comes back."

After Taimu slapped his forehead, he complained weakly.

"I knew it! My sister is such a fun-loving character, I really impressed her..."

After Xiao Qing heard the name "Lime", he felt it was very familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before. Xiao Zhi, who was standing by, carefully savored what Tai said and asked in shock.

"What! The current gym leader of the "Freezer Gym" is called Lime, and she is the sister of the former gym leader Taimu! "

Just when Xiaozhi and the others were discussing the name Lime, coincidentally, Lime yawned sleepily and sneezed slowly from a distance.

"Hey, I played too late last night... Ah Qiu! It's strange, who is talking about me again..."

Just when Lime wandered to the performance venue outside the gym, she saw Taimu's figure in the crowd at a glance. She, who was still looking tired, immediately became energetic, sweating profusely, and tiptoed toward Leave in the distance.

Just as Lime was about to leave, a passerby's voice said hello.

"Ms. Lime, you are back! Is the business trip over?"

When Lem heard the passers-by's shouts, he immediately gestured eagerly and silently to signal the passers-by to be silent... However, the passers-by did not receive Lem's signal and continued to talk.

"...There have been several trainers who wanted to challenge the "Freezer Gym" but returned without success after seeing your absence! "

"Okay, okay, I know! I'll deal with it right now..."

After Lime lowered her voice and urged the passers-by to leave, she breathed a sigh of relief. Just when she thought she had successfully escaped the crisis, a hand was put on her shoulder from behind, and it was squeezed hard. Lyme, who was in pain, unconsciously bent his legs...

"It hurts, it hurts so much..."

The owner of the hand holding Lime was Taimu, whom she thought she had gotten rid of. The conversation between Lime and passers-by was also known to Taimu, and then Taimu said angrily but tried to remain calm.

"Hey, Lem! That's how you took over my "Freezer Gym". There are so many dark circles under your eyes. Where did you go wild last night? And that outfit with jingling jingles, hanging ornaments, and this kind of outfit again... How many times have I told you! As the current gym leader, you are still so unstable..."

Seeing Taimu's change from his usual behavior in the academy, Xiaozhi and his team felt some unspeakable fear well up, and they all whispered to each other.

"Strange, is Teacher Taimu like this? I have never seen her like this in the academy..."

"Not only that, why does Teacher Taimu's voice and intonation not change, but I can clearly feel her anger?"

As he said that, Taimu put his hand on Lime's shoulder and walked towards Xiaozhi and the others. During this period, he could hear Lime's squirming voice as he begged for mercy.

"Wait a minute, sister! Give me some face, how old am I? It's so embarrassing, sister! It hurts..."

When they came to Xiaozhi and others, Taimu released his hand on Lime's shoulders and introduced them.

"Sorry, classmates, I made you laugh. This is my incompetent sister, the current leader of the "Freezer Gym", Lime. "

Lime looked embarrassed and said after tidying up his clothes that were messed up in the pain and struggle.

"I'm sorry, trainers. I'll go back to my duties right now..."

As he said this, Lime raised his eyes and met Xiaoqing's eyes. Seeing Xiaoqing's frightened expression, Lime also spoke excitedly.

"Isn't that when you were..."

Unexpectedly, Xiaoqing screamed after being horrified.

"You..., aren't you the 'ghost' in the cemetery where the graveyard dogs live?"

"Ghost? I'm not..."

Before Lime could finish speaking, Taimu grabbed his ear and lectured him again.

"Okay! You did something bad again!"

In this regard, Xiaoqing told everyone the ins and outs of his previous encounter with Lime... It was better not to mention it. After saying this, Taimu became furious again, grabbed Lime's ear and said without stopping.

"Although it was an accident in a cemetery, you can't let Xiaoqing, a girl, sleep alone in the wilderness and run away!"

Lime said after breaking away from Taimu's hand in pain.

"It hurts so much! It really... didn't even listen to my explanation! That night, I also wanted to take Xiao Qing, who fainted, to the town, but the wild tomb dogs closely guarded her, making it impossible for me to get close. . So, I waited for Xiao Qing with this group of tomb dogs all night. It was not until the early morning of the next day that the sunshine drove away the tomb dogs, and I had the opportunity to get close to Xiao Qing."

"When I got close to Xiao Qing, I found that her consciousness slowly woke up and she woke up from her sleep. After seeing that she was safe and well, and protected by the scalding crocodile and Tiremiao, I thought I was on my way to participate in the competition and happened to pass by there... so I decided to leave without saying goodbye and didn't mean to leave Xiao Qing behind."

Listening to Lime's explanation, Taimu's unruffled expression without too many facial changes made Xiaozhi and the others feel calmed down. Xiaoqing repeatedly thanked Lime for guarding him all night before. Only then did Xiaozhi and Pipa know that Xiaoqing had encountered this problem before.

Then, Pina said to Lem.

"Ms. Lime, Xiaozhi passed the pre-match test you set before, and he defeated Teacher Taimu for it!"

Lime looked in disbelief and said after looking at Xiaozhi.

"What! You can actually defeat me?...I admit your strength. Defeating the former gym owner is equivalent to defeating me..."

As he said that, Lime rummaged through his pockets and planned to give the freezer badge to Xiaozhi. Xiaozhi, who was keen on fighting, wanted to have a real gym battle with Lime, but he was about to refuse. Unexpectedly, Taimu taught Lime a lesson first.

"You are messing around again! I am me, and you are the current gym leader. How can we be confused? You need to be dealt with again..."

As he spoke, he raised his hand to teach Lem a lesson. Lem raised his hand to block it and slipped a trophy out of his arms. Pi Na picked it up and muttered the words engraved on it.

"The winner of the underground free style competition! Ms. Lime, this is..."

Lime nodded proudly and said.

"That's right! I won the game, and the other players were just like that..."

Xiaozhi and the others beside them didn't care about the status of Lime's championship in the niche competition she participated in. The only thing they cared about was when they could take on the gym challenge.

Then, Lem continued.

"The gym challenge is okay, but I can't challenge the opponent to the gym challenge until I finish serving as a judge for the cooking competition with the theme "Sour" held in "Freezer Town". "

Xiaoqing immediately said excitedly after hearing the information about the cooking competition that Lime said.

"What? There's going to be a cooking competition here! I remember that the "Sour Badge" is something Piper didn't get, right? "

Piper nodded and said.

"That's right! It seems that there should be information about this competition in the Pokémon Center. We were just looking at the major news announced by the league before and didn't notice this information. When will it be held?"

Lime rubbed his eyes after staying up late and said with a big yawn.

"Today is the day. It will be held soon. If you want to sign up, hurry up... I still have to do this work. It's really troublesome!"

Taimu looked at Lime who looked tired and said.

"I'm going to tell Mr. Savaro, one of the organizers of the competition, to let me replace you as a judge in this cooking competition. You can just focus on the next battle with Ash in the gym."

Lime was overjoyed and said happily.

"Really! Are you going to take my place as a judge? That's great. I have time to catch up on my sleep..., uh, no, it's preparation before the gym challenge!"

Tam's care and consideration for Lem were palpable.

"Okay, go back and 'prepare' for the gym challenge."

After instructing Lime to leave, he immediately reminded Piper.

"Okay, Pipa, hurry up and register for this cooking competition. Don't exceed the registration deadline."

"Oh, that's right! Without further ado, let's go sign up now... Thank you, Teacher Taimu, for the reminder. See you later!"

With that said, Xiaozhi and his group said goodbye to Taimu and ran towards the Pokémon Center.
