Pokémon: Pikachu Bonds

"Pica~"

Pikachu took a deep breath, as if to absorb all the power of the world into its body, and then slowly lifted its right foot which was as heavy as if it was filled with cement. Every movement seemed so strenuous.

This foot seemed to carry an endless amount of weight, making Xiaozhi worry whether he could really lift it up. However, Pikachu did not retreat at all. He gritted his teeth and used all his strength to push his body forward. After some effort, Pikachu finally stepped forward with his right foot.

Although this step is only a few centimeters away, it is like crossing thousands of mountains and rivers for Pikachu. Every muscle contraction and every bone movement consumes a lot of energy and strength. When its feet finally land on the ground, it means that Pikachu is one step closer to success...

At the same time, due to excessive exertion, Pikachu's sweat flowed out like a spring, quickly soaking the ground under his feet, forming a pool of conspicuous sweat stains. This pool of sweat not only witnessed Pikachu's efforts, but also showed its unwavering determination and perseverance.

"Well done, Pikachu, keep it up." Xiaozhi encouraged from the side.

"Pika~" With Xiaozhi's encouragement, Pikachu stepped harder...

"Buzz~"

The Beedrill tried its best to flap its wings to fly into the air, but it was wearing a gravity vest and it was exhausted every time it flapped its wings. Although it was difficult to fly under the weight, the Beedrill would not give up easily and immediately flapped its wings with all its strength...

After the Beedrill's unremitting efforts, its body began to slowly distance itself from the ground and flew up into the air little by little...

"Come on, Beedrill! Don't give up easily!" Xiaozhi shouted excitedly.

"Buzz~"

Hearing Xiaozhi's encouragement, Beedrill flapped its wings vigorously as if it had been injected with chicken blood, and after its efforts, it finally flew into the air as it wished...

Seeing the giant bee flying in the air, Xiaozhi was very happy for it...

Unlike the hardships of Pikachu and Beedrill, Sharktooth and Swampert had it much easier. Although they were not used to carrying the weight at first, they were able to move freely after a short period of adaptation...

Among the six Pokémon, Kujira and Lapras were the most relaxed. They even started to dodge each other's attacks...

"Ash, what are you guys doing? Pikachu and the others look very busy." Misty, who had come to Ash's side at some point, asked curiously.

"Pikachu and the others are doing weight training. They are wearing weight vests that Professor Oak developed specifically for me. As long as I adjust the switch of the weight vest, its weight will change accordingly." Xiaozhi explained.

"Weighted vest? Xiaozhi, are you planning to use weight training to increase the speed of Pikachu and the others?" Xiaogang asked.

"That's right~ I want to increase Pikachu and the others' speed to the maximum, so that no matter how strong the opponent is, we can gain the upper hand." Xiaozhi explained.

"That's a good idea. The only way to defeat martial arts in the world is to be faster." Xiao Gang agreed.

Xiao Gang changed the subject: "Xiaozhi, are you planning to have all your Pokémon do weight training?"

"That's right~ The rules of this joint conference are different from the previous league competitions, and the contestants this time are elite trainers from various regions, so I have to go all out and use the strongest lineup to fight against elite trainers from all over the world." Xiaozhi said seriously.

"It looks like you, Xiaozhi, are determined to win the championship of the United Region this time." Xiaogang said with a smile.

"To be honest, I'm not sure about winning the Combined Tournament. After all, I'm not sure if there will be a trainer as powerful as Darko in the Combined Tournament. So I can only be prepared. As long as I try my best, even if I lose, I won't lose so miserably." Xiaozhi shook his head and said.

Facing elite trainers from eight regions, Xiaozhi will not be so arrogant as to think that he can defeat the crowd. After all, trainers who are qualified to participate in the joint conference are definitely not ordinary people.

"Xiaozhi, I believe you can defeat all the other competitors and win the championship of the joint conference." Xiaoxia is very confident in Xiaozhi.

"Xiaozhi, you need to capture more Pokémon. After all, the rules of the joint conference are different from the previous league competitions. Every battle is a 6V6 all-out battle. If you use the same Pokémon frequently, you will be easily targeted." Xiaogang reminded.

"I understand~ I will be fully prepared." Xiaozhi nodded solemnly.

"Haha~ If you're not afraid of being targeted, Xiaozhi, you can send out 30 Kentaros to stun your opponent." Xiaoxia teased.

"(?_? )..."

Xiaozhi rolled his eyes when he heard that. The mention of 30 Kentaro reminded Xiaozhi of his experience in the wild area of ​​Pokémon. That day was like poking a hole in the Kentaro's nest. No matter what Pokémon he wanted to capture, the last one he captured was a Kentaro...

"Xiaozhi, it's getting late. We should go to the firefly party." Xiaogang reminded.

Upon hearing this, Xiaozhi turned around and said to the Pokémon: "Today's training ends here. Take a good rest in the next period of time."

"Ah~"

"Marsh~

"Hmm~"

"Buzz~"

"Roar!"

"Pica~"

Lapras and the other six Pokémon shook their heads and refused at the same time, saying that they wanted to stay and continue training, and would rest if they were tired.

"Okay~ Then you guys continue to train here, but you have to pay attention to combining work with rest~" Laplace and the others are so enthusiastic, Xiaozhi naturally can't pour cold water on them, he can only remind them to pay attention to combining work with rest.

"Xiaozhi, I heard that if you want to participate in the firefly party, you must bring a Pokémon, so if you want to participate, you must bring a Pokémon with you." Xiaogang reminded.

Before Xiaozhi could reply, Lapras' five Pokémon looked at Pikachu at the same time, as if to say: "This task is left to you."

After all, Laplace and the others would rather train here than attend the Firefly Conference.

"Pika~" Pikachu had no objection to this.

"Then Pikachu, let's go~" Xiaozhi came to Pikachu, turned off the switch of the weighted vest, and put Pikachu on his right shoulder.

"Pika~" After being freed from the weight, Pikachu suddenly felt extremely relaxed and at the same time had a feeling of floating.

[PS: These chapters have not been approved, so I have been revising them. But I am a bit busy at work today, so the changes are not timely. There will be another chapter later, and there are more than a dozen chapters left to be revised, so the release may be a little later in the next few days. 】
