Pokémon: Pikachu Bonds

"The phone is ringing! The phone is ringing!"

Xiaozhi, who was shopping in a supermarket, heard the phone ringing, so he took out his cell phone and answered the video call with Rotom. The video showed Professor Oak with an afro and the two excited little ones.

"Professor Oak, what's this new look?" Xiaozhi said while trying to hold back a laugh.

"Oh~ Don't mention this. The main reason I called you this time was to ask you to calm Victini and Meloetta down. I want to study them."

"If you don't speak up, I guess these two little guys won't want me to study them." Dr. Oak quickly explained the situation.

"I understand~" Xiaozhi roughly guessed the situation on the other side.

"Meloietta, Victini, you two should stay in Professor Oak's laboratory for the time being, cooperate with Professor Oak's research, and get to know the members of the big family." Xiaozhi said.

"Tini~"

"Tamei~"

The two little ones nodded at the same time, saying that they would cooperate with Professor Oak in his research and get along well with the members of the big family.

Professor Oak heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the two little ones calm down. He couldn't help but sigh: "It's true that there is always someone stronger than you. But few trainers can have such a good relationship with Pokémon, except for Xiaozhi."

"Then let's stop here for now. I still have research to do." Dr. Oak said and hung up the phone.

After putting away his Rotom phone, Xiaozhi took the purchased ingredients and prepared to go to the front desk to pay.

"Xiaozhi, have you decided which 6 Pokémon you will use to challenge the Ritsu Gym?" Xiaogang asked.

"I remember that the leader of the Ritsuyong Gym is good at using poison-type Pokémon. You have to consider how to deal with poison-type Pokémon in advance." Xiaoxia interrupted.

"Of course~ I have already chosen which Pokémon to use to challenge the gym match, and I already have a strategy to deal with poison-type Pokémon." Xiaozhi said confidently. Xiaozhi knew the strength of Homiga. If he didn't make corresponding countermeasures, he might capsize in the ditch. After all, poisoning is a very troublesome additional effect.

"Then let's go to the Pokémon Center and change teams before heading to the Liyong Gym!" Xiaoxia suggested.

"It should be so!" Xiaozhi agreed.

"Pickup!"

........

After changing the team, Xiaozhi came to an alley according to his memory and found the entrance to Liyong Gym.

"Is this the entrance to the Ritsuyong Gym?" Xiaoxia asked in confusion as she looked at the dirty door in front of her.

"If there is nothing wrong with the map, this is the entrance to the Liyong Gym." Xiaogang said while looking at the guide book in his hand.

"It can't be wrong~ I've challenged this gym before." After saying this, Xiaozhi grasped the handle and opened the door. Then he went down the stairs to the second door and opened the door in front of him again.

"The winner is decided, Lucario cannot fight, Gas Bomb wins!" As soon as Ash and his group stepped into the gym, the referee's voice and loud music rang in their ears.

"What a loud noise! ​​Just like a Pokémon using noise!" said Misty, covering her ears.

"However, the gym leader of this gym is very strong. According to the attributes, the steel-type Lucario not only has an advantage in attributes, but is also immune to poison-type moves. However, I didn't expect that he still lost the game. From this, I can infer that the strength of the trainer of this gym should not be underestimated." Xiaogang commented.

"Of course! Miss Homiga is a very powerful trainer. When I challenged her, I almost lost the game." Xiaozhi spoke very highly of Homiga.

"Hey~ Isn't this Xiaozhi? Long time no see. Are you here to challenge me?" Homiga, who had just finished giving chicken soup to the trainer who challenged him, found Xiaozhi standing not far away.

"Of course~ I'm here to get the United Gym Badge." Xiaozhi replied.

"Pickup!"

"United Gym Badge?" The trainer who was about to leave after drinking the chicken soup stopped when he heard this. He wanted to see the strength of the trainer who challenged the United Gym Badge and learn some knowledge from it. After all, the trainer who could challenge the United Gym must be much stronger than him.

"Joint Gym Tournament? I see." Homiga glanced at his partner next to him, and the guitarist understood instantly. He then took out 6 Poké Balls from the backstage. These were Pokémon specially used for the Joint Gym Tournament.

"Xiaozhi, let me see if you have improved over the years." Homiga said with a smile.

"No problem~ Come on over." Xiaozhi responded.

"Then the gym match with the joint badge will begin. Both sides can use 6 Pokémon."

"Only the challenger can change Pokémon. When all the Pokémon of one side are unable to fight, the match is considered over and there will be no halftime break." The referee announced.

"You are the Bulbasaur!" Xiaozhi turned the brim of his hat back and threw out a Poké Ball.

"Seed~Seed~"

"Bulbasaur, it makes me miss it so much!" Brock sighed. It always felt like it was just yesterday that Ash captured Bulbasaur, but eight years have passed in the blink of an eye.

"Yeah~ This is Xiaozhi's first Grass-type Pokémon. Ever since it became the butler at Professor Oak's Institute, we have rarely seen it participate in Pokémon battles. I wonder how strong it is now?" Xiaoxia said.

"Bulbasaur? In that case, let it be your opponent!" Homiga threw a Poké Ball.

"Bana~" A white light flashed, and a well-developed Bulbasaur appeared in front of Bulbasaur.

"Using Venusaur to fight Bulbasaur, Homiga, you still have the same bad taste as always." The guitarist teased.

"Okay, okay~" Homiga said with a smile. After all, bullying challengers was one of her pleasures.

"Then please both sides show your strength, and the game begins!" the referee announced.

"Ms. Homiga, you've been fooled~" Xiaozhi's mouth curled up slightly.

"What!?" Homiga was a little confused when he heard that.

"Ditto turns into the Galar form of Daruma Baboon!" Xiaozhi's Ditto has copied all the Pokémon in the backyard of the research institute, of course, including the Pokémon that Red captured in the Galar and Padia regions.

"Hmm~" Ditto returned to its original appearance, and then its appearance changed again, turning into a Galar form of Daruma baboon. It had a big snowball on its head and looked like a snowman.

"It's actually Ditto that can change into various appearances at will. I was really fooled by you." Homiga laughed, but she didn't care about it. No matter what kind of Pokémon Xiaozhi sent out, she was confident that she could defeat the opponent.

"It's actually Ditto. I thought Satoshi really exchanged Bulbasaur." Misty complained.

"Ash's Ditto can appear in various forms, and it is indeed very deceptive." Brock murmured.

"Darma Baboon uses Blizzard!"

"Da Hu~" The Dharma baboon kept beating his chest with his fists. Suddenly, a blizzard blew up on the ground, and the figure of the Dharma baboon was hidden in the blizzard.
