Pokémon the Movie: Pallet Town Rookie

The next morning, the sun shone on the sparkling sea, and the breeze brushed against their cheeks, bringing a hint of coolness and comfort. Xiaoyuan and Xiaomao stood on the deck of the cruise ship, looking at the coastline that gradually became clear in the distance. As the cruise ship slowly approached the shore, they finally arrived at their destination - Azure City.

As soon as he got off the cruise ship, Xiao Mao gently patted Xiao Yuan on the shoulder, with a confident smile on his face, and said gently: "Xiao Yuan, can you solve all of this within two hours?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan was slightly startled. She turned around and stared at Xiao Mao, asking curiously, "Two hours? Xiao Mao, what are you talking about?"

Seeing this, Xiao Mao smiled and shook his head, then pointed to the imposing building not far away and explained, "What else can we do? Of course, we should challenge the gym! The most famous Azure Gym in this city is mainly for Fighting-type Pokémon, but for you, two hours should be enough to deal with it, right?"

Xiao Yuan nodded in sudden realization, but then raised her chin, a confident smile on her face, and folded her hands in front of her chest, saying confidently: "Oh! So it's this matter, why would it take two hours? As long as I send out Charizard, it can be easily done in ten minutes at most!"

After hearing this, Xiao Mao's eyes flashed with a look of triumph, and he also laughed, gave a thumbs up and praised: "Haha, you are worthy of being Xiao Yuan, you are really amazing! In that case, I am relieved. Ding ding ding, Xiao Yuan, look, I have already bought the boat ticket to Shuijing City in advance."

As he spoke, Xiao Mao pulled out two exquisite tickets from his pocket like a magician, and they seemed to be first-class tickets. He placed the tickets in front of him and waved them proudly, as if he had everything under control and seemed particularly calm and composed.

"Our departure time is set for two hours later, so don't be late. Oh, by the way, Xiaoyuan, it's still half an hour's journey from here, so come on." Xiaomao blinked and smiled mischievously at Xiaoyuan.

After he finished speaking, Xiao Mao pulled out a pair of cool sunglasses from some mysterious corner like a magician. He put them on with a smug smile on his face, turned around and walked towards the vast beach.

Then, Xiao Mao took out a piece of soft cloth from his body and carefully spread it on the golden beach. After doing this, he lay down slowly and contentedly, as if he was the only one left in the world, enjoying this peaceful and beautiful morning time to the fullest.

At this moment, an angry shout came from a distance: "You Xiao Mao, you dare to plot against me! You... Oh, forget it, since you are sensible and bought the ticket, I will be magnanimous this time and not argue with you. But you remember, let's wait and see... wait for me..." Along with the sound of Xiao Yuan's hurried footsteps as he ran, his voice gradually became weaker.

Xiao Mao, who was lying on the beach, heard the noise, propped himself up slightly, and looked in the direction where Xiao Yuan left. Seeing Xiao Yuan's angry and helpless expression, he couldn't help but feel an indescribable joy in his heart. So, he simply released the Blastoise and the others, and while he was in a good mood, he had some fun with the people.

Looking at the other side, poor Xiao Yuan hadn't run far when he was already out of breath. He had to stop and hold on to a slightly worn-out electric pole next to him, breathing heavily and sighing helplessly from time to time.

"That damn Xiao Mao must have planned it all out long ago and dug such a big hole for me to fall into. Who knows, even Professor Oak might have been recruited by him to make fun of me together, humph!"

After saying that, Xiao Yuan became angrier and punched the electric pole.

"Ouch!"

He soon regretted it, covering his hands and breathing in pain.

"Xiao Yuan? Why are you here? Haven't you finished challenging the Azure Gym yet?"

At this time, a familiar voice sounded. Xiao Yuan looked and found that it was an old acquaintance, so Xiao Yuan hurriedly said: "Hey, I'm on the way. By the way, Mr. Du, where are you..."

Du smiled and said, "Oh, as for me, there have been rumors that Lugia has appeared near Azure City recently, so the Alliance asked me to investigate."

"Lugia? Are you talking about... the legendary god of the sea?" Xiao Yuan asked with some surprise.

"To be precise, it's the God of Ocean Currents. Never mind. By the way, Xiaoyuan, when are you planning to leave for Shuijing City to participate in the Youth Cup?" Du asked.

"About two hours later!"

"Oh! Okay, I'll wait for you at the port." Du smiled and said.

"Hey, Mr. Du, don't you think the time is too tight?" Xiao Yuan hinted deliberately.

"I know what you mean. The sooner you prepare, the better. By the way, you should play your gym match faster, otherwise you won't have enough time. See you later."

After saying that, Du jumped onto a motorcycle nearby and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Hey, Mr. Du, please give me a ride... Humph, damn dodo, just wait for me, one day, we will settle all the old and new accounts together."

Xiao Yuan looked at Du and said angrily, "But after all, Pokémon are not allowed to be used as a means of transportation in the city. It is too dangerous." Xiao Yuan had no choice but to run again.

Finally, Xiao Yuan arrived at the gym, only to see him leaning on his knees, panting, and saying, "Huh...Huh...finally...here...I'm so tired."

Afterwards, Xiao Yuan took a deep breath and immediately shouted inside: "Is anyone there? I'm Xiao Yuan, and I'm here to challenge you!"

"Good boy, you are really brave, come in!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the door slowly opened, and soon, a burly man was seen sitting quietly on the main seat.

He looked at Xiao Yuan quietly, and even walked closer to look at her carefully, and said, "You are Master Xiba's new disciple. You seem to be a little too thin, aren't you?"

"Hey, Gym Leader Ah Si, are we still going to compete? I'm in a hurry. Besides, what does it matter if I'm thin? Isn't it enough that the Pokémon are strong?"

"Yeah, okay, kid, let's follow the rules, two against two, how about that?"

"Come on! Come out, Charizard!"

"Come out, Kaili!"

"Spray flames!"

"Hit at close range!"

"Bang!" The game had just begun when Guai Li was blasted away, instantly losing his ability to fight, and lay on the ground with his body charred.

"Ah? So fast? Never mind, next one, Fast Swim Frog, Water Cannon!"

"Come on, spray flames!"

"Boom!" Soon, the game ended in one round without any suspense. Frog didn't even have a chance to attack, and was restrained by Charizard and killed in one move.

"Huh??? This..."

"Hey, gym leader, hurry up, I'm in a hurry." Xiao Yuan took back the Charizard and said while warming up.

"Ah? Oh!" After saying that, Ah Si took out the fighting badge in confusion, but before he could react, it was snatched away by Xiao Yuan.

Afterwards, Xiao Yuan said, "Thank you. I'll spar with you next time I have a chance! Bye..."

After saying that, Xiao Yuan ran out like the wind. From the beginning to the end, it took only three minutes, leaving Ah Si standing in the main seat, stunned.
