Pokémon: Rise of the Orange League

Although the area of ​​Yuzi Island looks small, the terrain and environment inside are extremely complex. Thanks to the abundant rainfall, a winding river, Yuzi River, has formed on the island.

The gym apprentice Ali took Luwu to a simple pier by the Yuzi River. This pier was built specifically for the convenience of gym challenges and is made of wood.

"Are you ready?" Ali boarded the speedboat first and began to carefully check whether the boat had any faults.

Luwu stood on the shore, looking at the speedboat placed in the open air on the riverbank in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh: "Really rich! I gave up buying this model after thinking about it again and again. It's okay to buy it, but it's just thrown here in the open air so casually, and I don't even bother to do basic maintenance."

Hearing Luwu's words, Ali couldn't help scratching his head, with an embarrassed look on his face. Although he has been in the gym for a long time, he has not been responsible for the assessment of the first project before, so he doesn't know the situation here.

"Uh... come on first." Ali called Luwu to get on the boat, and secretly made up his mind that he would report this matter to the gym owner after returning to the gym, so that they would know how irresponsible the apprentice who was in charge of this project before was.

It would be best if he could be promoted to be in charge for a long time (*^▽^*)

Luwu jumped onto the speedboat lightly, and the octopus bucket knew that it was his turn again, and took the initiative to come out of the ball. The suction cup on his foot quickly attached to the deck of the speedboat.

"I will start the speedboat in a while. We have set up mechanisms on both sides of the river. When the speedboat passes by, the mechanism will be triggered, and a target will appear on the shore. You need to smash or penetrate it before the speedboat passes by the target." After Ali confirmed the status of the speedboat, he explained the specific content of the challenge to Luwu.

"If you miss two consecutive targets, the challenge will fail."

Luwu looked at the octopus bucket, and it nodded very confidently.

"Then let's start." Luwu and the octopus bucket stood at the bow together.

Ali skillfully started the engine of the speedboat. With a rhythmic roar of the engine, the speedboat quickly entered the center of the wide river like an arrow from a bow, and the speed gradually increased.

After about five seconds of acceleration, the speed of the speedboat began to stabilize, and it rushed forward in the river at an astonishing speed.

"There is a target popping up over there!" Lu Wu has excellent eyesight. A target suddenly popped up on the rock on the left bank of the river. He immediately reminded the octopus bucket.

"Puh!" The reaction speed of the octopus bucket is also amazing. Almost at the moment when Lu Wu opened his mouth to remind it, it had fired a water gun and accurately smashed the target on the shore.

This river target shooting test is different from the target shooting on Xiagan Island. On Xiagan Island, the main test is the hit rate of skills; here, more attention is paid to the trainee's reaction speed and coping ability when facing a sudden target.

From the triggering of the target mechanism to the speedboat passing the target, it only takes about three seconds.

And because the Pokémon doing the target shooting is on a fast-moving speedboat, the relative movement of the boat must be considered when shooting.

This test is a piece of cake for Octopus Bucket. It can even say that even if it has not been trained by Luwu, it can easily pass it in its previous wild state.

Targets are triggered by the mechanism and appear from the woods, the river, and the rocks.

Octopus Bucket's body is firmly fixed on the deck, and each water gun is extremely accurate, and the targets are pierced one by one.

The speedboat quickly drove to the upper reaches of the river, where there is another simple dock, and Ali docked the speedboat at the dock.

"Congratulations, you passed the first level. According to the rules of the gym, there will be a 3V3 battle tomorrow morning." Ali had expected Luwu's performance just now.

After all, he is a famous trainer, and this level of assessment is not challenging for him.

At the dock, the apprentice who was originally responsible for the first level assessment is waiting here.

"Ali, take Mr. Luwu back to the gym, I'll drive the boat back."

Ali glanced at the somewhat lazy gym apprentice and nodded.

Yuzu Gym, here has a design similar to the accommodation area of ​​the Pokémon Center, which is provided to those trainers who successfully pass the first level assessment and want to fight attribute battles on the second day.

The group of Pokémon in the gym are training very consciously. Ayi is obsessed with modern dance recently. He thinks that Pokémon can learn to dance, use dance skills in battle, and dodge the opponent's attack more flexibly.

As soon as Luwu entered the gym, he saw Ayi giving dance training to these Pokémon.

"Oh! The challenge was successful?" Ayi looked at Luwu and asked with a smile.

"Yes, Mr. Luwu,"You passed the test very easily." Ali said.

"I have asked them to arrange accommodation for you and a dinner tonight." Ayi said to Luwu.

Luwu nodded and simply thanked him.

At the dinner, Luwu buried his head in eating. He responded to Ayi's comments on certain trainers with "yeah, yes, yes, yes".

Anyway, those trainers can't hear you, so just say whatever you say.

The next day, Luwu got up early in the morning to do warm-up training for the Pokémon. Luwu looked at the group of Pokémon in the gym who also started training consciously early in the morning and admired them.

These Pokémon have been trained for such a long time, and they are still so enthusiastic about completing the training. It can only be said that Ayi's father is indeed a very powerful trainer.

Like Scorpio and Ninolino, they sometimes still have a lazy mood at this stage, and these Pokémon still complete basic training day after day even without supervision.

This is also one of the reasons why Ayi thinks he is strong. He has a good 's command ability, and a group of Pokémon that cover all attributes and train hard consciously.

Luwu finished warming up, and Ayi just woke up.

He walked downstairs slowly, just in time to see Luwu, who was sweating all over, going upstairs to take a shower in the room.

Ayi stared at Luwu's back in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

Soon everything was ready. The arena of the Yuzu Gym was located on the towering stone pillars on the seashore. They spent a lot of money to choose the thickest stone pillar and flatten the top. The players who participated in the battle will take a hot air balloon to land on the stone pillar arena.

The venue is very clean. On this flat top, it has been baptized by the sea breeze all year round, and it is difficult for any garbage to stay here.

Ayi jumped off the balloon first. He stepped on the arena a few times and the ground was very hard.

"The game is a 3V3 battle. I will use a Pokémon with the same attributes as your Pokémon to fight. So you will summon Pokémon first during the game. " He said as he stood in the command area of ​​the arena.

Lu Wu supported the balloon's frame with his right hand, flipped out of the balloon lightly, and landed steadily.

"I already know the rules."

Lu Wu quickly stood on the ground of Ayi.

The gym apprentice on the balloon blew the whistle and shouted loudly: "Beep! The challenge of the Yuzu gym, the 3V3 battle starts now, and the challenger Lu Wu will send out the Pokémon first!"

Lu Wu took a high-level ball from his waist.

"The first game is you, go Armored Bird. Bring me victory!"
