Chapter 71 Get two badges in a row and go to the Whirlpool Islands
"Come back, Big Steel Snake."
After Big Steel Snake lost its fighting ability, there was only the last Pokémon left that Ami could use.
Ami was a little hesitant. She didn't know whether to send the last Pokémon out to fight. Because this Pokémon was really restrained too much.
"I leave it to you in the end, Giant Pincer Mantis!"
After thinking about it for a long time, Ami finally sent out the Giant Pincer Mantis.
Mantis Giant Claw Mantis is an insect-type and steel-type Pokémon, and fire-type attacks are very effective against it. When he learned that Mechanical Greymon can use flame jets, he knew that he would be the best in this battle.
She couldn't win. But even if she already knew the result, she still had to finish the battle with her heart. This is what a trainer and a gym trainer should do.
"Giant Pincer Mantis, use shadow clone."
Giant Pincer Mantis split into multiple clones and surrounded Mechanical Greymon.
"MechanicalGreymon, use flame jet."
MechanicalGreymon sprayed flames forward, hitting the clone of the Giant Pincer Mantis. Then, MechanicalGreymon turned its body and burned the other Giant Pincer Mantis.
"The giant pincer mantis uses alloy claws."
The remaining Giant Claw Mantis all rushed over and attacked MechanicalGreymon. MechanicalGreymon did not find the clone of Claw Mantis in time and was hit by the alloy claw.
"MechanicalGreymon, use the Trident of Power."
MechanicalGreymon launched the metal claw on its left hand.
"Giant Pincer Mantis, dodge and use the destruction beam."
The giant mantis flew to the side and escaped the attack. Then it gathered its strength and used the destructive ray.
"MechanicalGreymon, the Ultimate Destroyer Cannon!"
MechanicalGreymon's ultimate destruction cannon collided with the destruction ray and exploded directly. The airflow generated by the explosion blew the Giant Pincer Mantis away. MechanicalGreymon's body is very large, and it can also survive in the airflow of the explosion.
Stabilize the body.
"MechanicalGreymon, use flame jet."
"Giant Pincer Mantis, use lightning flash."
The figure of Giant Pincer Mantis suddenly disappeared and escaped the attack of the flames. It flashed continuously and approached Mechanical Greymon.
"Use continuous cut!"
Giant Pincer Mantis quickly swung its giant pincers, causing continuous damage to Mechanical Greymon.
"MechanicalGreymon, use flame jet."
"Giant Pincer Mantis, get out of the way."
The giant pincer mantis escaped the attack again.
"Come back, MechanicalGreymon."
Wu Ma knew that Mechanical Greymon's attack would be difficult to effect, so he took it back. Mechanical Greymon was not suitable for dealing with fast Pokémon like Giant Claw Mantis.
"The rest is up to you, Kuailong."
The last Pokémon that Wu Ma chose was Kuailong. In terms of speed, Kuailong was not bad at all.
"Giant Pincer Mantis, use continuous cut."
The Giant Pincer Mantis rushed towards Kuailong quickly.
"Kuailong, use flame fist!"
Kuailong rushed forward instantly and punched the giant pincer mantis, knocking it away.
The Giant Pincer Mantis quickly got up after falling to the ground.
"Giant Pincer Mantis, use shadow clone."
The giant pincer mantis once again divided into a large number of clones, surrounding Kuailong.
"Kailong, use one hundred thousand volts!"
Kuailong emitted 100,000 volts in all directions, hitting every target. The body of the Giant Pincer Mantis was also hit.
"Use freezing light!"
Due to the 100,000 volts just applied, the giant pincer mantis was unable to move for a short time and was hit by the freezing ray.
The giant pincer mantis was frozen into ice, fell to the ground and lost its ability to fight.
"Come back, thank you for your hard work, Giant Pincer Mantis."
After Ami took back the giant pincer mantis, she walked towards Wuma.
"congratulations
Yes, Wu Ma. Your Pokémon are very powerful. This is proof that you defeated me, Steel Badge."
Ami handed a hexagonal badge to Wuma.
"Thank you, Miss Ami."
"So where do you plan to go next?"
"We are going to Zhanlan City." Xiaomi said.
Xiaomi has already helped Wuma plan the route to challenge the gym.
"So that's it, then you have to take a boat there. There is a boat heading to Zhanlan City this afternoon, don't miss it."
"Thank you very much, Miss Ami."
Wuma had no intention of taking a boat to Zhanlan City, after all, he was still seasick.
Since there was no need to take a boat, there was no need to leave in such a hurry. Wuma and Xiaomi walked around Qiancong City, and then flew to Zhanlan City with Kuailong and Chaobidomon the next day.
The flight was very fast, and it only took more than an hour for everyone to arrive in Zhanlan City.
After arriving in Zhanlan City, Wu Ma didn't waste time and went directly to Zhanlan Gym.
When entering the Blue Gym, Wuma and Xiaomi saw a very surprising scene. An uncle was wrestling with a Haoli. You know, Haoli is very strong, and few humans can fight with it.
They competed for strength. But this uncle did it. Although he lost in the end, he still had a stalemate with Haoli for a few seconds.
"Hello, are you a gym trainer?" Wuma walked over and asked.
"Yes, I am the gym trainer of Azure Gym, Ah Si. Are you coming to challenge the gym?"
"Yes, I am a witch horse from the Kanto region."
""Then before fighting, do you want to do 100 push-ups first?" Ah Si said.
Wu Ma's mouth opened slightly and he froze on the spot. He suddenly felt like he was back in the training camp.
Wu Ma smiled bitterly and said, "Otherwise, we should just fight directly."
"Okay, it's okay if you don't want to do push-ups. Then come to the battle arena with me."
The two came to the battle field, and the Gym Challenge officially began.
Referee: "What follows is a battle between the gym trainer Ah Si and the challenger Wu Ma. Both sides can use two Pokémon. When all Pokémon on one side lose their ability to fight, the other side wins.
"
Under normal circumstances, gyms use three Pokémon. Of course, the specific number of Pokémon used is determined by the gym trainer.
"I'll leave it to you first, Frog."
The first thing Ah Si sent out was a water-type and fighting-type Pokémon, Frog.
Most of the Pokémon Ah Si uses are fighting-type Pokémon, and it is best to use flying-type Pokémon to deal with him.
"Leave it to you, Kuailong."
Wu Ma once again sent out Kuailong. Although Kuailong is not of the flying type, its attribute skills are very comprehensive and very suitable for use in battles.
"Fast swimming frog, use water cannon!"
Powerful water cannons sprayed towards Kuailong.
"Kuailong, get out of the way."
Kuailong flew up and avoided the attack.
"Kuailong, use freezing light."
"Fast swimming frog, get out of the way!" Ah Si shouted.
The fast swimming frog jumped continuously to avoid the exciting light.
"Kuailong, use Thunder Fist."
Kuailong flew over at extremely fast speed and punched the fast-swimming frog.
The swimming frog quickly stood up.
"Fast swimming frog, use megaton punch."
"Kailong, we also use Megaton Boxing."
The fists on both sides collided, evenly matched. The moment after the collision, the two Pokémon separated.
"Fast swimming frog, use bubble light."
"Kuailong, use 100,000 Volts after dodging."
Kuailong flew to avoid the bubble light while using one hundred thousand volts.
One hundred thousand volts
The effect of being hit by a fast swimming frog is very good.
"Give it the final blow, Dragon's Wrath!"
Dragon's Wrath hit Frog. Frog fell to the ground and lost the ability to fight.
"Come back, Frog. The rest is up to you, Haoli!"
Haoli jumped hard and jumped onto the battlefield.
"Haoli, use the hand knife."
Haoli quickly struck Kuailong with his palm.
"Kuailong, block the attack."
Kuailong stretched out his hand and blocked the attack.
"Haoli, use Cross Slash!"
Haoli crossed his hands and hit Kuailong with a cross cut.
Kuailong was hurt and took two steps back.
"Kuailong, use Thunder Fist!"
Kuailong took a few steps forward and punched him.
"Haoli, get out of the way."
Haoli slid down and dodged the attack. Then, Haoli suddenly stood up and hugged Kuailong's neck.
"Now, Haoli, use Hell Scroll."
Hell rolling is to lock the opponent, quickly roll on the field, and use the inertia of the rolling to inflict huge damage to the opponent.
"Kailong, don't let it succeed, fly!"
Kuailong spread its wings and flew directly. Haoli's hell rolling had no effect at all.
"Kuailong, use the Earth Throw."
Kuailong quickly spun in the air. While spinning, Kuailong grabbed Haoli and slammed it to the ground.
"Haoli, show your backbone!"
Haoli stood up with difficulty.
"Kuailong, give it the final blow and destroy the light!"
The moment Haoli stood up, the destructive light hit him and exploded instantly.
Haoli fell to the ground and lost his ability to fight.
"Won!"
After winning the competition, Xiaomi was even more excited than Wuma.
Kuailong defeated Ah Si's two Pokémon on his own, which was indeed a very good job.
Ah Si came over and said, "Your Kuailong is indeed very powerful. I look forward to playing against you again in the future."
"Don't worry, there will be a chance."
"Okay, here's your reward, the strike badge."
Ah Si handed a fist-shaped badge to Wuma.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Ah Si."
This is the sixth badge Wuma has obtained. As long as he obtains two more badges, he will be able to challenge the alliance competition.
"Which city are you going to next?" Ah Si asked.
"Next we are going to Kaji Gym." Wuma said.
"Well, Kaji City is quite far away from us. It's best for you to use flying transportation to get there." Ah Si said.
"I know, thank you for your suggestion."
Wuma and Xiaomi left the Zhanlan Gym.
"Brother Wuma, I want to discuss with you whether we can go to Kaji City later?" Xiaomi said suddenly.
"What's wrong? What's wrong with you?"
"That's it. The Uzumaki Islands Tournament in the Johto area is recently hosting the Uzumaki Islands Tournament. It's a tournament specially held for water-type Pokémon. It only happens once every three years. I really want to go."
For trainers like Xiaomi who use water Pokémon, the Whirlpool Islands Competition is a very grand event, even more than a regional league competition. Since the Whirlpool Islands Competition is so important to Xiaomi, Wuma naturally agrees.
"Well, it just so happens that we also go to see the scenery of the Whirlpool Islands."
The day after the decision was made, Wuma and Xiaomi went to the whirlpool together.
Going to the Whirlpool Islands usually takes a ship, so Xiaomi and we took the Zutonmon.
The map clearly marked the location of the Whirlpool Islands, so they didn't have to worry about getting lost.
"Wuma, there's something wrong with the water flow in front of me." My Zuton beast suddenly said.
Wuma stood on Zuton Beast's head, looked ahead, and found that there were many whirlpools in front of it.
"Zutunmon, go around to the right."
The whirlpool in front of them was very large, and it would be troublesome if they were caught in it. After bypassing the whirlpool, the two continued to move towards the Whirlpool Islands.
A few hours later, they came to one of the islands in the Whirlpool Islands, Qingyan Island. Qingyan Island, as the name suggests, there are many blue stones on this island.
Wuma and Xiaomi came to a city on Qingyan Island and found that it was very lively. Everyone was preparing for the Whirlpool Islands Conference.
Wuma and Xiaomi came to Pokémon.
"Hello Miss Joy, I want to sign up for the Whirlpool Islands Competition."
"Okay, no problem. Please show your Pokémon Pokédex and we will register you here."
When registering, Happy Egg brought a book over.
"Is that the manual?" Xiaomi asked.
"Yes, this book is also the rule book for participating in the Whirlpool Islands Competition. Please be sure to keep it well." Miss Joy reminded.
"Okay, the registration has been completed." Ms. Joy returned the Pokédex to Wu Ma.
"Brother Wuma, won't you participate?"
Wu Ma shook his head. Although he had Zutonmon, there were still too few water-type Pokémon in general. Moreover, there were no rewards for participating in the Whirlpool Islands Competition system, so he could just be a spectator.
"Hehe, since Brother Wuma doesn't want to participate, then the championship will definitely be mine," Xiaomi said very happily.
"That's not necessarily true. There are many powerful water Pokémon trainers."
"I want to become a water Pokémon master, so I naturally have to be very confident!" Xiaomi said with a smile.
Indeed, if you can't achieve good results in this kind of competition dedicated to water Pokémon trainers, there is no hope of becoming a water Pokémon master. Winning the water competition is also the way to become a water Pokémon master.
A very important step on the way.
"Brother Wuma, just keep an eye on me. This time I will show you my true strength."
Wuma is also very curious. Along the way, Xiaomi has never really made an all-out effort. He wants to know how Xiaomi has grown in the past two years.
After registering, Wuma and Xiaomi set off together.
There are four islands in the Whirlpool Islands. In addition to Qingyan Island, there are also Huangyan Island, Chiyan Island and Silver Rock Island. The four islands are named according to the colors of the rocks they are rich in. The venue for this competition is Chiyan Island.
So the two of them set off towards Chiyan Island. In order to enjoy the scenery on the sea, Wuma and Xiaomi decided to sit on the back of Zuton Beast and move forward.
It took them a few hours to reach the city where the conference was held, Caco City.
As soon as you enter the city, you can see many banners hanging around and many posters about the Whirlpool Islands Competition on the walls. Everyone is very much looking forward to this conference.
Wuma and Xiaomi first came to the Pokémon Center in Kako City. Although they had registered before, they still needed to register before officially participating in the competition.
Xiaomi showed the Pokémon Pokédex to Ms. Joy and completed the registration.
"Okay, it's done. Before the official competition of the conference can begin, you must first pass the preliminaries. This is the map of the conference venue, and you have been assigned to the B competition venue."
"Thank you, Miss Joy." Xiaomi took the album.
"We also want to attend the conference!" Three figures ran in.
"Xiaozhi, Xiaoxia, Xiaogang!"
"Wuma, Xiaomi! Why are you here?"
No one expected to meet in this place.
"Are you also going to participate in the Whirlpool Islands Conference?" Ash asked.
"I am the only one who wants to participate and I have already signed up." Xiaomi said.
"That's it, Xiaoxia and I also
You have to participate, so that you can compete against each other in the tournament."
"Then you hurry up and register. I have to go to the branch venue first."
The number of people who signed up for the Whirlpool Islands Competition is no less than that of the Alliance Competition. Before the official top 64 competition, Xiaomi still needs to win two preliminaries.
The conference was held on the next day, so Wuma and Xiaomi first found a hotel to stay.
The next day, with the sound of the salute, the preliminaries of the Whirlpool Islands Competition began.
Since there are many players participating, the competition venue is also very simple. The bay is divided into dozens of venues, and there are several round pillars on the battle field that can provide Pokémon gates to stand on. Everyone is in such a small
Complete the preliminaries in the small battle arena.
The first among the three to compete was Xiaomi.
"Please, mosquito-repellent frog."
Xiaomi successfully won two preliminaries using only mosquito-repellent incense frogs. None of the opponents he encountered were very strong.
On the other side, Xiaozhi used Crocodile and Misty used Mosquito Frog and Sun Coral. Both of them successfully passed the preliminaries and entered the official competition.
The official competition will not take place until two days, so everyone can take a rest first and prepare well at the same time.
On the day when the Whirlpool Islands Tournament was officially held, all 64 contestants who had entered the official competition came to the island's tournament venue.
The venue is held in a bay, and the water in the venue is directly connected to the ocean.
Xiaozhi, Xiaoxia and Xiaomi are all contestants, and they are in the dedicated lounge for contestants.
Wuma and Xiaogang were watching their battle in the audience.
Host: "The opening ceremony of the Uzumaki Islands Competition begins now. As you can see over there are the 64 contestants who have passed the qualifying round and aim to become the brave of the sea. Since ancient times, the Uzumaki Islands have had their own culture.
With civilization, we worship water Pokémon and live together with them. Until now, this culture has never disappeared, and it is continued by Miss Maya, the priest who abides by the legend of the sea from ancient times."
You can see a woman holding a scepter and lamp standing on the high platform of the venue. She looks as beautiful and noble as a princess in the sea.
Next, I would like to ask Miss Maya to make a declaration for the conference.
"Everyone, welcome to the triennial Water Pokémon Festival, the Uzumaki Islands Competition. People who have a spiritual connection with water Pokémon and a kind of life have been praised in this place, the Uzumaki Islands, since ancient times.
He is the hero of the sea. According to legend, the hero of the sea will be blessed by the sea soul and be granted the same abilities as all water-type Pokémon."
Miss Maya raised the scepter in her hand, and you could see a huge sea soul gem on the scepter.
"Then, I wish you all good health and good luck, and accept the blessings of Haihun!"
At this time, under the sunlight, the Sea Soul Gem glowed blue. After the audience saw this power, they all cheered.
After the venue calmed down for a while, the host said: "In addition to getting the title of brave, you can also get mysterious water drops."
The mysterious water drop is a prop that can increase the power of water Pokémon's special moves. It is a relatively rare and precious reward.
"Next, all players, please fight with all your strength!"
After the opening ceremony, the competition officially begins. Before the competition, there is still nearly an hour of free time. The players can take advantage of this time to prepare well, and the audience can go to eat something, use the toilet, etc.
.
"Hello, please bring me a piece of takoyaki." Wuma said to the three figures selling food.
"Okay, no problem."
"Would you like a drink?"
When the three of them saw Wu Ma, they were stunned.
The witch horse took the food from their hands.
"Thank you very much."
These three are naturally the Rockets. After they saw the witch horse, they quickly ran to the other side of the auditorium. Every time the conference is held
, Team Rocket will sell various things in the venue and make a lot of money. Most of the money they make is used to capture Pikachu, but they have never succeeded.
After the time was up, the game officially started. The first was a 64-32 battle, with pairs of water-type trainers using water-type Pokémon to fight against each other.
Since many trainers do not have enough water-type Pokémon, this round will be one-on-one. If you are not careful, you will be eliminated.
Soon it was Xiaozhi's turn to appear.
"Please, little crocodile."
What Ash sent was the water Pokémon he caught in the Johto area, Crocodile. And his opponent sent out a Spinosaurus.
The level of King Spinosaurus is much higher than that of Xiaozhi's Little Crocodile. But this Little Crocodile is a Pokémon that doesn't play according to common sense. His fighting style makes people confused.z.br
The little crocodile actually bit the mouth of the Spinosaurus King when he was using the water cannon. As a result, the Spinosaurus King's water gun failed to spray out, and instead expanded his belly.
Very unexpectedly, the Thorny Dragon King was knocked away by his own water cannon and fell to the ground, losing his ability to fight.
Although water Pokémon is a very common type, there are actually not many people who are proficient in it. In the battle between 64 and 32, it is difficult to see exciting battles. Either the rookies are talking to each other, or one side is crushing the other.
