Pokémon: Pikachu Bonds

Xiaozhi and his group, with Tianshui as their destination, came to the endless Gobi Desert...

"Xiaogang, do you have any water left?" Xiaozhi asked.

"The water is finished." Xiaogang shook the empty kettle.

"Alas~ I didn't expect the sun to be so unusually strong today, causing us to finish all the water before we even get out of the Gobi Desert." Xiaoxia wiped the sweat from her face.

"Pika~" Pikachu suddenly fell to the ground.

"Pikachu, are you okay?" Xiaozhi anxiously held Pikachu in his arms and asked with concern.

Unfortunately, no matter how Xiaozhi called out, Pikachu didn't respond...

"Don't worry, Xiaozhi. Pikachu is fine. He just fainted because of the hot weather and the lack of water for a long time." Xiaogang said after checking Pikachu.

"I'm glad you're okay. How far is Xiaogang from Tianshui Town?" Xiaozhi asked.

"It's still far from Tianshui Town. Even if we speed up, we won't be able to get there in a short time." Xiaogang replied.

"Then what should we do? If we don't replenish water for a long time, we will get dizzy like Pikachu..." Xiaoxia fainted before she could finish her words.

"Xiaoxia you..."*2

Xiaogang and Xiaozhi also fell down...

Xiaozhi and his group were completely wiped out under the scorching sun...

I don't know how long it took, but a bearded uncle and a fire-breathing camel came to the place where Xiaozhi and his group fainted...

"Did he get dizzy from the sun?" murmured the bearded uncle.

Then the bearded uncle put Xiaozhi and his group on the back of the flaming camel and led the flaming camel to the door of a small wooden house...

"Dad, Mom, wife, Xiaoping, Xiaomei, come and help me. I found a fainted traveler not far away." shouted the bearded uncle.

"Coming~"

As soon as the bearded uncle finished speaking, four or five people came out of the cabin and carried Xiaozhi and his companions on the fire-breathing camel back to the cabin...

After being treated by the bearded uncle and his family, Xiaozhi and his companions soon woke up...

Xiaozhi opened his eyes and found himself in a strange place. He saw a family busy not far away, so he asked, "Uncle, did you save us?"

"That's right~ We are the residents living here. When I was taking the fire-breathing camel to reclaim the land, I saw you fainted on the ground, so I brought you back." The bearded uncle explained.

"Uncle, thank you for your help, otherwise I don't know what would have happened." Xiaozhi thanked sincerely.

After all, fainting in the sun for a long time might kill you...

"No need to be so polite. Meeting is fate." The bearded uncle waved his hand.

"Stop chatting for now. I made some curry rice. Come and eat it quickly." The old woman said to Xiaozhi and his group.

"Well~ Then we won't be polite." After saying this, Xiaozhi and his group went to the table and started eating curry rice.

After having enough water and food, Xiaozhi and his companions started chatting with the bearded family...

"Are you also trainers preparing to participate in the league conference?" asked the old woman.

"That's right~ We are trainers traveling with the United Conference as our destination." Xiaozhi explained.

"Joint Conference? Which region's Pokémon League Conference is it?" asked the boy in green.

"It's not an alliance conference of a single region, but an alliance conference jointly promoted by the eight major regions." Xiaozhi explained.

"Is this the alliance conference jointly launched by the eight major regions? It looks like I can meet all kinds of powerful trainers. I also want to participate in the joint conference." The young man in green said excitedly.

"You can sign up for the competition by going to a Pokémon Center in any town in the eight regions," Xiaozhi reminded.

"I see. Thank you." The young man in green said gratefully.

"My Anquan is a trainer who aims to become the Pokémon League champion. He has achieved amazing results in the Quartz Conference, Silver Conference, and Caiyou Conference." The housewife said proudly.

"So that's how it is~ Maybe we will meet again in the joint conference in the future." Xiaozhi said with a smile.

"Young man, do you want to have a Pokémon competition with our Battle House?" the old lady suddenly said.

"Battle House?" Xiaozhi asked puzzledly.

"That's right~ I am the general of the House of Battle, Yanhuo..."

"I am the wife of the mainstay, Mizuno..."

"I am the son Yan Liang..."

"I am the daughter-in-law, Pu Ying..."

"I am a grandson. Safety..."

"I am the granddaughter Qiu Ju..."

"We are the Gobi Fighting Six. How about a Pokémon battle with our family?" the bearded family introduced themselves.

"I'm Xiaozhi from Pallet Town. I accept your challenge." Xiaozhi agreed readily.

"I'm Xiaogang, and this is Xiaoxia. Let me be your referee." Xiaogang volunteered.

"No problem~ The rules of the game are 6V6, but you can't exchange Pokémon during the game."

"You three can take turns fighting us, or you can send one of you to fight us." Yanhuo said.

"No problem~ But we don't need to take turns fighting you, I can do it alone." Xiaozhi replied.

"We haven't met a trainer as confident as you for a long time. The long-dormant fighting spirit has been rekindled." Mizuno said excitedly.

"Now that we've decided, just follow us to the competition venue." After saying that, Yanhuo led Xiaozhi and his group to the competition venue behind the house.

"What an amazing battle field! It's almost as good as a regular competition field." Xiao Gang commented.

"This is the competition venue created by the joint efforts of our whole family," Qiuju said proudly.

"Let's stop talking nonsense and start the game." Yanhuo urged.

"No problem~" Xiaozhi agreed.

"Let me be the vanguard, please help me with the Super Armored Rhino!" Yan Liang threw a Poké Ball.

bang~

"Roar!" A white light flashed, and a Pokémon wearing rock armor appeared on the playing field...
