Pokémon Heart Journey

"The fishing competition has ended. Trainers who have successfully captured Pokémon, please go to the Cerulean Gym to register. The gym has prepared the corresponding equipment for you to restore the Pokémon's physical strength. The water Pokémon competition will officially begin at 7 pm."

"Repeat it again..."

As the broadcast sounded, the trainers stopped what they were doing, and the trainers who successfully captured Pokémon went to the Cerulean Gym one after another.

Xiaozhi also followed the crowd to the Cerulean Gym, and Xiaoxia, as the gym leader, naturally went to the gym first to make preparations.

She wasn't seen until Xiaozhi finished healing the Seathorn.

"Come out, Sea Dragon"

Xiaozhi walked to a fountain and released the Seathorn.

The Sea Thorn Dragon, which had regained its vitality, looked around involuntarily, and then looked at its new master who had defeated it.

"Hello, Seathorn Dragon, I'm Xiaozhi."

"Pika, Pikachu", Pikachu also ran to the Sea Thorn and greeted him.

When he saw Pikachu running towards him, Sea Dragon was immediately frightened. After all, facing this electric mouse that he had no ability to fight back, he couldn't help feeling a little scared.

But then, he truly felt the kindness emanating from the two men, so he approached them tentatively.

Ash has some experience in how to appease Pokémon, and with the efforts of him and Pikachu, Seasaurus quickly became friends with them.

"Aglais becomes my Pokémon, let's become stronger together," Xiaozhi stretched out his hand and formally invited Aglais.

Even though he has successfully captured the Pokémon with a Poké Ball, Ash still wants to listen to Seasaurus' wishes. After all, in his opinion, someone who doesn't respect the Pokémon's wishes, forcibly takes it away from its original living environment, and forces it to fight, will never be able to become a Pokémon Master.

As for Xiaozhi's invitation, Sea Dragon did not refuse, but nodded excitedly. It was obvious that Sea Dragon had a strong heart, and he longed to become as powerful as Pikachu.

"Then please take good care of me from now on, Sea Thorn Dragon."

"Pika Pika"

.........

After learning about Seasaurus' skills and practicing with him for a while, Ash hurried back to the Pokémon Center at an astonishing speed. After finishing his dinner, he headed to the Cerulean Gym to participate in the next Water Pokémon Competition.

"Good evening, fellow trainers and audience friends!"

Inside the Hualan Gym, a beautiful and sweet-looking blonde girl with a delicate face was standing on the stage and giving a loud speech.

"I am the head of the Cerulean Gym, Sakura, one of the three Cerulean sisters. I will be organizing the second phase of the water Pokémon battle in this fishing competition..."

Under the encouragement of the beautiful and sweet-voiced Sakura, the atmosphere of the audience was quickly aroused. Looking around, the large auditorium was full of people, which showed how popular this game was.

However, the reason why this competition is so popular is firstly because the Cerulean Gym is indeed very famous in Kanto. The water ballet of the three Cerulean sisters and the powerful strength of Misty, the gym leader, have deeply attracted many trainers and male compatriots.

However, the battle did not start right away. Instead, the three Hualan sisters performed a water ballet first.

At this time, Xiaozhi in the backstage couldn't help but feel speechless.

"Shouldn't we be fighting from the beginning? Why is it a performance first?"

"It's all Sakura and the others' fault." At this time, Misty also walked to Satoshi's side.

"Hello again, Xiaozhi," Xiaoxia said, stretching out her hand and waving at Xiaozhi.

"Oh, it's Xiaoxia."

"Pika Pikachu"

Seeing that it was Misty, Xiaozhi stretched out his hand and greeted her, but what he didn't expect was that Pikachu actually jumped off his shoulder and pounced over. Misty subconsciously caught him, and then touched Pikachu's head with a look of joy.

"Hello again, Pikachu. It seems you like me very much. Do you want to be my Pokémon?"

"Qiu~"

Seeing Pikachu suddenly rebel, Xiaozhi immediately became anxious.

"Hey! Pikachu, what are you doing? Come back soon."

Pikachu didn't respond much to Xiaozhi's call, but just wagged its tail at him.

"Hehe, Xiaozhi, it seems that Pikachu likes me more than you. Is it because you are too rude? You should be more careful with Pokémon."

"How can this be…"

During the time when the two were bickering with each other, the water ballet ended, and the official Pokémon showdown began.

"Go ahead, Sea Thorn Dragon attacks with water gun"

A long and thin stream of water hit the opponent's goldfish head-on. With just one move, the opponent's goldfish's eyes turned into whirlpool shapes.

"The horned goldfish loses its ability to fight, and the sea dragon wins."

"It always feels different from what I imagined," Xiaozhi couldn't help but touch his chin and think after returning to the backstage.

I thought this match would be a fierce battle between dragons and tigers, but it is not like that at all. Instead, it is more like a fight between weaklings. There is no challenge at all.

"This is actually very normal." At this time, Xiaoxia also came over, and she also defeated her opponent very cleanly.

"This kind of fishing competition eliminates a lot of people just for the fishing part. Most of the people who are successfully selected are those who are good at fishing but have relatively poor trainer abilities. After all, few trainers focus on fishing."

"In addition, the Pokémon caught have varying strengths and lack tacit understanding with the trainers, making it difficult for them to exert their full strength. Coupled with the lack of publicity, the prizes are actually only attractive to ordinary trainers, and those with stronger strength do not look down on these prizes."

"Ah, why is this happening?" After hearing what Xiaoxia said, Xiaozhi couldn't help but feel a sense of disappointment. He had thought that he could take this opportunity to have a satisfying battle.

"Don't worry. Although most trainers are not good enough, there are still a few who are quite strong. It will definitely get harder as time goes on. Besides, don't you still have me?"

And the fact was exactly as Misty said, and Xiaozhi encountered many strong enemies afterwards.

However, since Ash's Seathorn is one of the stronger Pokémon among many Pokémon, and Ash and Seathorn have better coordination than others and his command ability is also very strong, although it took some effort, he managed to knock down all the opponents.

The competition soon came to an end, and standing on the stage, as expected, were Satoshi and Misty.

"As expected, I finally met you, Xiaozhi. I will let you see the strength of the Cerulean Gym Leader."

"Just come at me, I will never lose," Xiaozhi clenched his fists excitedly in front of Xiaoxia.

"Go ahead, sea spiny dragon"

"Come on stage, Goldfish King"
