Chapter 18: Haruka City Gym Competition

As soon as Naoki entered Haruka City, he saw a large group of teenagers riding bicycles whizzing past on the road. He asked an uncle nearby and found out that Haruka City was holding a bicycle competition.

Naoki just remembered that in the xy version of the game, the gym leader of Haruka City, Chaklo, mentioned a bicycle race, and Chaklo seemed to have won the championship. When the protagonist of the game came to Haruka City, the bicycle race had already ended. Speaking of which, it seemed that it was a very correct decision for him to come to Haruka City first instead of going to Guxiang Town as the game process required.

Of course, if it were in the game, there would be a big rock blocking the road from the tunnel to Haruka City, and it would be impossible to get through without the skill of super strength. Reality is naturally different from games, so there would not be such trouble. Even if there is a rock blocking the way, Naoki can ask Lucario to help move it away or break it.

"Speaking of Guxiang Town, should I go over and take a look? Fossil Research Institute, Flash Team." Naoki said to himself.

In the game, the Shining Caves in Guxiang Town is where the protagonist first confronts the villain Team Flare. I don't know if I will see anyone from Team Flare in real life. As for the Fossil Research Institute, to be honest, Naoki has no interest in Pokémon resurrected from fossils.

"Forget it, let's watch the game here first and then challenge the gym." Naoki shook his head.

Naoki didn't have a bicycle, so he didn't join in the fun. He just stood on the side and watched with the lively passers-by. Because of the competition, there were many more small vendors on the roadside. Naoki even found a small shop selling Yunfei ice cream, a super famous snack in the Unova region. The shop's sign was that each person was limited to purchase five, which was just enough for Naoki and his Pokémon to have one each.

The specialty is worthy of being a specialty. The ice cream made with high-quality tree fruits and Moo Moo milk tastes amazing, and there are various flavors, so every Pokémon can choose their favorite flavor.

The cycling competition ended at noon. The champion was a bronze-skinned young man, not Chaklo. Naoki was not interested in this and spent the whole morning looking for various snacks. In addition to Feiyun ice cream, Naoki also bought Kamahuru senbei from the Hoenn region, as well as a lot of puff pastry that looked very delicious.

After lunch, Naoki came to the Rock Gym in Haruka City. Just like the noise outside, there were also quite a lot of challengers in the Haruka City Gym. Naoki even had to queue up. By the time it was Naoki's turn, it was more than an hour later.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. Recently, because of the bicycle competition, there are a lot more challengers to the gym." said the gym leader, Chaklo.

"The rules for the Haruka City Gym challenge are officially three-on-three. The gym owner cannot change Pokémon, but the challenger can change Pokémon freely until all three Pokémon on one side lose their ability to fight or admit defeat." The referee said with forced spirit.

"Then I'll start the game. Go Onix!"

"Come on, Lucario!"

Chakro nodded secretly after seeing Lucario. For a novice trainer, Naoki, who could send out Pokémon according to their attributes, was already a qualified challenger. He could also see that this Lucario was trained quite well. From the perspective of the gym master's experience, Naoki was qualified to obtain the Rock Wall Badge.

However, even though he thought this way, the battle was inevitable. After a brief thought, Chaklo immediately gave orders to Onix.

"Onix, use Stealth Rock!"

"Lucario, meditate!"

Naoki didn't expect the gym leader to throw rock spikes right away, and cursed the poor player in his heart while strengthening Lucario. There was no Pokémon suitable for fighting against rock attributes in Naoki's team except Lucario, so Naoki needed Lucario to kill at least two. It just so happened that the opponent was a Pokémon like Onix that had little attack power, which was a great opportunity to strengthen.

"Big Rock Snake, use Dig!"

"Never mind it, use meditation again."

Onix broke out from behind Lucario and knocked Lucario away. However, with Onix's physical attack, even with its attribute restraint, it couldn't cause much damage to Lucario.

"Hold steady and use wave missiles continuously!"

Even if Onix had 100,000 lives, it couldn't catch the wave missile that was fired after meditating twice. But it could still be caught even if it said it couldn't be caught. Onix said that I can still withstand it with my hardness characteristic.

So Naoki let Lucario use wave missiles continuously. Onix's huge body fell to the ground, and Lucario landed on the ground nimbly. The digging attack just now hit, but it did not have a big impact on Lucario.

"Come back, Big Rock Snake."

"Then this will be my second one. Come on, baby Tyrannosaurus!"

"Lucario, wave missile!"

"Baby Tyrannosaurus, use Roar!"

The wave missile hit the baby Tyrannosaurus. It should have been a one-shot situation, but this baby Tyrannosaurus managed to withstand it. It turned out that this guy did not have the characteristic of strong jaws, but the characteristic of firmness.

Baby Tyrannosaurus's roar also successfully hit Lucario. This skill does no damage, but it has the effect of bounce the Pokémon back into the Poké Ball, forcing other Pokémon to be replaced.

Charmeleon was forced to be swapped and was damaged by the invisible rock used by Big Rock when it came on the field. Since the fire attribute was restrained by the rock attribute, it lost a quarter of its physical strength.

"Charmeleon, use Dragon's Fury!"

Naoki did not hesitate because Lucario was substituted. He immediately commanded Charmeleon to use the long-range Dragon's Fury attack to take down the baby Tyrannosaurus that had only a little bit of strength left.

Chaklo nodded and said, "That's a great performance. As a rookie trainer, you are one of the strongest and most capable trainers I've ever seen."

"But the game isn't over yet. Next up is the last one. Go ahead! Ice Dragon!"

A light blue ice dragon appeared, and fine snow began to float above the gym. This ice dragon actually had a hidden special ability. Naoki had the urge to ask whether the Charlock family produced special capsules.

The attributes of the Ice Dragon are ice plus rock. The Charmeleon is not weak against it. It is not suitable for rotation if there are invisible rocks on it.

"Fire dinosaur, smoke screen!"

"Ice Dragon, use the original power!"

The Fire Dinosaur hid in the smoke, and the Ice Dragon's primitive power failed to hit it.

"Now, use the enhanced punch!"

During Charmeleon's training with Lucario, Naoki had it learn two fighting-type skills to counter Charizard's four-times-weaker rock-type Pokémon, namely, the Enhanced Punch that can add a physical attack and the Brick Splitting that has higher damage and can break walls. Now is the time for these two skills to come into play.

The Ice Dragon's attributes of ice and rock make it four times weaker in fighting. Even a single enhanced punch with a power of only 40 can deal damage equal to almost half of its physical strength. After its physical attack is increased by one level, the remaining physical strength of the Ice Dragon is not enough to withstand a second enhanced punch.

"The Ice Dragon is incapable of fighting. The winner is Naoki from Miare City."
