After sending Jirachi away, Hu Yang and King Daidai took Xiaozhi and his party back to the ecological park.
Meow Meow, Musashi and Kojiro stood in a row on the grass to pick up the plane.
However, as soon as the spacecraft landed, the three of them were dragged by King Slow to improve the spacecraft.
Hu Yang walked around the ecological park and nodded with satisfaction when he saw the group of Pokémon with very healthy spirits.
It seems that during his absence, the trio's housekeeping work was completed perfectly.
"Senior Hu Yang, I'm ready!" Xiaozhi, who was following behind, said full of fighting spirit.
Hu Yang also saw that Xiaozhi had been conducting special training on Lizard King and Pikachu these days, so he naturally understood what Xiaozhi meant.
He nodded slightly, said "Okay", then put down his things, found the Rogue Crocodile and the Desert Dragonfly, took them to the gym, and stood in the position of the gym leader.
Xiaozhi and his team stood in the position of challenger.
After five days, Xiaozhi once again launched a challenge to Weibai Gym!
In the dark gym, rows of incandescent lights gradually lit up, illuminating the entire battle arena.
Xiaoyao, Xiaogang and Xiaosheng stood next to the battlefield, watching the battle.
The Rotom illustrated book was floating in the air, and he introduced the rules of this gym challenge according to the process:
"The competition rules of this gym challenge are 2v2 doubles battle. Each person is limited to using two Pokémon to fight. The battle will not end until both Pokémon on either side lose their fighting ability!"
"The battle begins Tom!"
Following Rotom's order, Populus euphratica took out the elf ball and released the rogue crocodile and desert dragonfly again.
The two sides were almost openly fighting, and Xiaozhi didn't hesitate at all and directly released Pikachu and Lizard King.
On the field, electricity flashed on Pikachu's cheeks, and the Lizard King held a leaf in his mouth with a serious expression.
Both of them looked as full of fighting spirit as Xiaozhi.
"Faced with attribute disadvantages, you still don't plan to change Pokémon?" Hu Yang raised his eyebrows and said in his heart.
You know, electric-type moves cannot cause any damage to ground-type Pokémon.
This also means that all the electric moves of Ash's Pikachu are useless.
Hu Yang was not surprised by Xiaozhi's choice.
He just wants to say that he is worthy of being a master of reverse attributes!
"Then, let me see the results of your special training!" Hu Yang ordered: "Rogue crocodile, use burrowing, desert dragonfly, set off a sandstorm!"
The command was given, and the two Pokémon on the field started to move at the same time.
Xiaozhi carefully observed the situation on the field, clenched his fists, and said seriously: "Pikachu, Lizard King, pay attention to the situation under your feet!"
"Pickup!"
Pikachu ignored the sandstorm of desert dragonflies and stared at the ground carefully.
The Lizard King closed his eyes and felt the vibration of the earth.
Suddenly, it opened its eyes and threw a blade towards a raised ground.
And almost instantly, Pikachu, who had been observing, started to move.
It ran towards the land, and its tail was wrapped in a rich white light. When it was about to approach, it jumped high, and its tail wrapped in powerful energy hit the ground heavily.
That's...Iron Tail!
"Boom!"
The next second, the earth shattered, the rogue crocodile's digging was interrupted, and it was shaken out of the ground.
"Very good, now!" The special training is effective! Xiaozhi's eyes lit up and he quickly ordered: "Lizard King, use Flying Leaf Storm!"
"Stop it, Desert Dragonfly, Dragon Tail!" Populus euphratica ordered.
Seeing the desert dragonfly flying towards the Lizard King, Xiaozhi turned his eyes to Pikachu: "Pikachu, I leave it to you!"
"Pikachu!"
Pikachu nodded, facing the desert dragonfly's tail, and used its iron tail to meet it without any hesitation.
Two completely different tails collided together, and in the next second, Pikachu was ejected, while the desert dragonfly also moved backwards for a distance.
However, the Lizard King's Flying Leaf Storm has already hit the Rogue Crocodile.
Being scratched by sharp blades, the rogue crocodile showed a painful expression in its eyes.
Facing the Lizard King, it opened its mouth and bit hard, but the Lizard King did not flinch at all.
The blade on the arm turned into a sharp sword and fiercely attacked the rogue crocodile.
Leaf Blade successfully hit!
The rogue crocodile's strength gradually loosened, and with its double attribute restraint, its body finally couldn't bear it anymore and fell down.
"Very good!" Seeing this scene, Xiaozhi's eyes shone with excitement.
Before he could be happy for too long, the desert dragonfly not far away used Dragon Dive and rushed toward the Lizard King.
The powerful and terrifying dragon energy made the Lizard King instinctively take a step back, and then its body was knocked straight out.
The damage caused by the sandstorm, the bite of the rogue crocodile before it fell, and the dragon dive of the desert dragonfly instantly made the Lizard King lose its ability to fight.
Suddenly, only two Pokémon that could still fight, Desert Dragonfly and Pikachu, were left on the field.
The attributes were too disadvantageous, and both Ash and Pikachu had solemn expressions on their faces.
Hu Yang looked at Xiaozhi with a smile on his face and said in appreciation:
"Let Pikachu attack the ground with its iron tail to drive out the Crocodile, and then cooperate with the Lizard King to defeat the Crocodile. You did a great job, Ash."
"But unfortunately, you misjudged my other Pokémon, Desert Dragonfly. Double battle is a battle between two Pokémon together."
"There is only one Pikachu left, can you still create a miracle? Please show me!"
Hearing these words, Xiaozhi couldn't help but show a solemn look on his face. The battle has reached a fierce stage. What should he do?
Pikachu's electric-type moves have no effect on the ground-type Desert Dragonfly...
Outside the venue, Xiaogang and Xiaoyao, who were watching the battle, also had horrified expressions on their faces.
"As expected of Senior Hu Yang." Xiaogang analyzed calmly: "As far as I know, the Rogue Crocodile and Desert Dragonfly are not his main Pokémon, but Xiaozhi has no power to fight back against them.
"
"These two Pokémon alone are so powerful, so what will happen to the main Pokémon around Teacher Xiaoyang?!" Xiaoyao couldn't help but murmured.
"Facing the ground-type Desert Dragonfly, Ash and Pikachu's chances of winning are very slim." Xiaogang said.
On the battlefield.
Xiaozhi clenched his fists and looked at the desert dragonfly in the sandstorm.
"Pikachu, use high speed movement!"
Even facing such a difficult battle, Xiaozhi still had no intention of giving up.
Seeing this scene, Populus euphratica continued to order: "Desert dragonfly, the power of the earth."
"Woo!"
The desert dragonfly responded and poured energy from the ground into its feet. The next second, the entire battlefield began to shake violently.
Pikachu, which was moving and running at high speed, noticed something strange, and was about to call out to remind Xiaozhi, but before it could speak, a powerful energy spurted out from under its feet.
"Pickup!"
Pikachu's small body was directly knocked away.
But Pikachu didn't fall down yet. It trembled and tried to get up, but fell down weakly on the ground again midway.
"Pikachu, hold on!" Ash yelled.
As if hearing Xiaozhi's voice, Pikachu opened his eyes and tried hard to stand up.
But unfortunately, it failed in the end and fell to the ground losing its ability to fight.
Rotom spoke at the right time: "Pikachu and Lizard King have lost the ability to fight. The winner of this gym battle is the gym leader Hu Yangtom!"
Xiaozhi didn't feel sad about losing the game.
He smiled faintly, put the lizard king who had lost the ability to fight back into the elf ball, then stepped forward to pick up Pikachu, and said to them: "Thank you for your hard work, you have done a good job, now you can have a good rest."
After saying that, he looked up at Hu Yang and said with a wry smile: "I lost. Sure enough, my strength is not your opponent, Senior Hu Yang."
Seeing Xiaozhi like this, Hu Yang chuckled and shook his head, then took out a gym badge and handed it over.
Seeing this scene, Xiaozhi and others were stunned on the spot.
Xiaozhi said in confusion: "This is..."
Hu Yang slowly said: "You have proven to me the tacit understanding between you, Pikachu and Lizard King. This unwhite badge belongs to you."
Xiaozhi: "But... I have already lost this gym battle."
Hu Yang shook his head: "Strength has never been the criterion for judging whether a trainer is excellent or not. In my opinion, you are already qualified to possess it."
Xiaozhi seemed to understand, and couldn't help but murmured: "Senior Hu Yang..."
Hu Yang smiled slightly and said: "You took good care of Pikachu and them. I heard its voice. It said that it likes you very much and wants to be with you all the time."
Hearing this, Xiaozhi was stunned.
Hu Yang put the Weibai badge in his palm and said, "I hope you can keep it in the future."
Xiaozhi lowered his head, looked at the badge in his hand, then held it tightly, and said seriously: "I will do it!"
…
After completing the treatment for Pikachu and Lizard King, Xiaozhi and his team were ready to leave the ecological island and continue their journey.
They stood at the seaport and said goodbye to Populus euphratica: "Senior Populus euphratica, goodbye!"
Hu Yang stood on the shore with Gengar and other Pokémon, looked at them, smiled and nodded: "Come on, I'm looking forward to your performance at the Caiyou Conference."
"Yeah!" Xiaozhi said seriously: "Pikachu and I will work hard together!"
There is only one month left before the Caiyou Conference is held. Within this month, Xiaozhi must set off from Wubai Town and rush to Caiyou City.
Watching their figures disappear into the sea, Populus euphratica turned around and walked towards the ecological park along the way he came.
Looking at the scenery along the way, Populus euphratica really hopes that when he reaches the ecological park, time will follow him to December.
Because Ma Shaduo said that during the Chinese New Year, the Phoenix King and the Three Holy Beasts would come to the island to stay for a while.
But unfortunately, when he arrived at the ecological park, time had not changed at all.
Hu Yang opened the door and walked in.
Phoenix King no longer loses his feathers all over the world. Hu Yang guessed that there are probably two reasons.
First, it felt that he, the Hero of the Rainbow, was enough.
The second reason is because I was annoyed by the Rockets episode before.
However, the specific reason must be known only to King Feng himself.
As Xiaozhi and his party left, peace returned to the ecological park again.
It is worth mentioning that the trio did not run out with Xiaozhi, but stayed in the ecological park, serving as research assistants, and perfected the spaceship with King Slow.
As for the materials for building the spaceship, Hu Yang purchased them all internally from Devon Company.
King Dudida is busy with his trio, while Hu Yang is very leisurely. His daily life consists of walking the dog on the island, fishing, barbecuing, watching movies with Gengar, and occasionally playing with Guo Ranweng.
Moving mini games.
This leisurely life made Populus euphratica gain a lot of weight.
Looking at the meat on his belly, he felt that he could no longer slack off.
So early the next morning, I grabbed the metal monster, the katy dog, and the double-axe dragon to start a morning jog.
In this way, time passed slowly, and before we knew it, time came to mid-November of the 212th year of the alliance calendar.
The Chinese New Year is about to come, and Rose Leiduo, who is filming a movie outside, also takes a vacation and is picked up by Hu Yang from the Hezhong area.
Looking at the New Year approaching on the calendar, and the trio who have been working hard for several months, they finally have some free time.
Being a boss for the first time, Hu Yang had little experience.
He thought for a while and decided to give each of them a New Year's gift to encourage them to work hard.
So, on a snowy winter afternoon.
Hu Yang found the trio and told them about the incident.
After listening, Meow Meow said blankly: "New Year's gift Meow Meow?"
Kojiro and Musashi were also very surprised by this incident.
Hu Yang nodded, then took out a brand new guitar and gave it to Miaomiao.
The reason why he gave this gift was because the scene in the anime of Meow sitting under the moon playing guitar and singing Meow’s song had a great impact on him.
After all, Miao Miao also has some artistic cells in her body.
Seeing the guitar, Meow Meow froze on the spot: "Is this Meow Meow?"
Hu Yang nodded: "Yes, you can try it."
Meow Meow ran to the side to study the guitar.
And Hu Yang set his sights on Musashi.
Unlike Meow Meow, Musashi once had a dream to be an actress, and because she was too poor as a child, she always ate sushi made of snow. When she grew up, she once thought that real sushi was made of snow.
Thinking of this, Hu Yang took out a piece of sushi from the package and handed it to Musashi, smiling and saying: "Try it?"
Musashi was surprised: "What is this?"
Kojiro on the side took a look and replied: "It's sushi!"
In addition to sushi, Hu Yang also took out a badge and gave it to Musashi.
"This is..." Musashi put down the sushi and said in confusion.
Hu Yang said: "This is the ribbon badge I got at the gorgeous conference in Qiuye Town. Today I give it to you. When you work outside in the future, in addition to completing the content of your work, you can also pursue yourself.
dream."
After hearing these words, Musashi stayed where she was. She looked blankly at the precious ribbon badge in her hand.
Hu Yang continued to look at Kojiro.
"Do I have a gift too?" Kojiro asked in surprise.
"Of course." Hu Yang nodded, then took out a bottle of resurrection potion and said to Kojiro: "This thing can heal any injury on Pokémon."
If he remembered correctly, Kojiro liked wind chimes very much, and he tamed one while traveling in the Hoenn region.
But later, the wind chime was no longer suitable to travel around with Team Rocket due to its physical condition, and had to rest and recuperate.
For this reason, Kojiro chose to place Wind Chime Ling in a villa for foster care so that Wind Chime Ling could grow up healthily.
He did not see the presence of the wind chime beside Kojiro, and he guessed that Kojiro had probably already made that choice.
As expected, after hearing this sentence, Kojiro showed a surprised expression on his face.
With this bottle of medicine, his wind chime can recover and travel with him!
So Kojiro asked Populus euphratica for a week's leave on the spot and prepared to find the wind chimes.
Hu Yang agreed and also gave Musashi and Miaomiao a holiday.
One fine day, the trio left the island.
Hu Yang looked at King Daidai and asked with a smile: "What do you think of the three of them?"
The scene of getting along during this period of time appeared in King Daidai's mind, and he nodded and said:
"They are all very good human beings. The relationship between the three of them is very good. Moreover, Kojiro and Miaomiao are very talented in mechanical manufacturing and research."
With that said, King Dadai looked at Hu Yang and said, "You like the three of them very much."
Hu Yang: “Maybe!”
King Daidai wanted to say something else, but at this moment, the Ancient Moon Bird by the window suddenly seemed to feel something and raised his head and looked out the window.
"Gah."
Following its gaze, Populus euphratica saw a rainbow in the clear sky, and at the end of the rainbow, an orange bird Pokémon flew towards the island.
