Xiaozhi commanded Riolu, each of his arms formed a metal claw, and rushed towards Prince Bo in front of him.
"Prince Bo, we also use metal claws!!"
On the other side, Xiaoguang gave the same instructions.
Prince Bo waved his wings and rushed forward... Its metal claws did not appear to be in the shape of energy extending claws, but simply turned the wings into steel.
It looks somewhat similar to the Steel Wing, but is weaker in strength.
Bang bang!! Bang bang!!
In just a few breaths, Prince Bo and Riolu collided several times, making a series of cold and crisp metal explosions.
In terms of strength, Riolu was slightly weaker and was forced back after a few collisions.
The considerable movement attracted many passers-by to come and watch.
"Hey, wasn't the girl in the short skirt using Emperor Nabo yesterday? Why did she suddenly become Prince Nabo?"
"Riolu...this is also a rare Pokémon."
"It's a pity that I didn't have as much fun as yesterday."
Many passers-by who witnessed the battle between Xiaozhi and Plantina last night were talking about it. It was a pity that they could not see the big scene.
Xiaozhi and Xiaoguang, who are in the center, are doing special training.
Riolu is preparing for the Lucario that will face Ali next.
Prince Bo has just evolved and needs a lot of fighting to adapt to his new body, so he can be used as a sparring partner.
"Riolu, use the bone club to beat him!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Riolu jumped up, swung a waveguide bone rod in his hand, and hit Prince Bo directly on the head.
"Prince Bo, use salt water!!"
Faced with this blow, Prince Bo immediately aimed his head downwards and spat out a large pool of chaotic flowing water from his mouth.
Whoosh whoosh...!
The impact swept away, and the powerful momentum of the water turned into a fan-shaped barrier, directly forcing Riolu back, making it impossible to get close.
However, Prince Bo's physical strength is in a healthy state at this moment, so the power of this shot of salt water is not very strong.
"As expected of Prince Bo, have you fully mastered the salt water technique?"
"Xiao Zhi, your Riolu also fully masters the bone club and beats it~!"
The two looked at each other from a distance and complimented each other.
"Leo!!"
Riolu's fighting spirit became even higher, and the waveguide bone rod in his hand did not go away, and he rushed towards the target again.
Ah Li has now regained his confidence and is back as the leader of the Curtain Gym. Naturally, he has no reason not to accept Xiaozhi's challenge.
The main reason is that this gym challenge system does not have any anti-fish bombing protection mechanism in place at all.
Even if the champion from the next area comes to challenge the gym, you still have to bite the bullet and continue.
...
"The day after tomorrow, the morning after tomorrow, I'll wait for you here!"
In the morning when he was still in the Curtain Gym, Ah Li chose to delay the attack as long as he could.
Xiaozhi thought that the other party was going to use these two days to secretly practice some new moves with Lucario, so he was naturally happy to accept it.
"Leo~!"
However, during the fight, Riolu next to him was jumping and punching quite excitedly, his fighting spirit was high, and he seemed to want to rush his senior on the spot.
"..."
This gave Ah Li a headache.
At least when her Lucario was still in the Riolu stage, her strength was definitely not that strong.
"But I still have a chance, I can win!"
Soon Ah Li clenched her fists. As long as this Riolu had not evolved and achieved full growth, her Riolu had a chance to win!
Obviously his side is in a state of evolutionary advantage, but now Ah Li has subconsciously placed himself on the weak side...
"Most people now think of Riolu's evolution method as intimacy... As long as the intimacy is sufficient, nature can evolve naturally."
Before leaving, Ah Li did not forget to give Xiaozhi some advice.
It feels very fulfilling to be able to point out someone who makes Mr. Lei Si feel inferior.
"Intimacy..."
Xiaozhi nodded and kept it in mind.
It stands to reason that Riolu has joined the team since very early on, even though he spent most of his time in Dr. Oak's backyard.
But after the hatched egg comes out, the first thing you see is yourself.
For other Pokémon, Xiaozhi's use of the power of the bond still needs some practice before he can reach the metaphysical state of bond connection.
But for Riolu, the waveguides of the two people are completely from the same source, so the intimacy from birth is already extremely high.
"Leo!!"
As if sensing Xiaozhi's thoughts, Riolu nodded towards Xiaozhi.
Now it is completely ready for evolution.
You can even evolve into Lucario on the spot with just a thought.
Of course, Riolu doesn't have any obsession with not evolving like Bogaman.
It is extremely passionate about its desire to become stronger, and evolving into Lucario is the path it will inevitably take.
It's just that right now, it hasn't unleashed all of its potential, so now is not the perfect time to evolve.
"..."
Xiaozhi watched as there was silence for a while.
It seems that this Riolu is more independent than his trainer.
"Aren't you going to evolve yet?"
After understanding what the other party meant, Ah Li was very happy.
The probability of winning has increased again!
...
Night in Curtain City.
It's not late at night yet, but the whole city has become quiet. Although it is a big city, there is no lively nightlife.
The whole street was also dark.
"Mr. Lei Si, where are we going?"
Xiaozhi and three others followed Lei Si and walked all the way to the east of Curtain City, making them unable to help but ask.
"Let me show you the specialties of our curtain city~!"
Lei Si explained kindly.
Walking all the way to the edge of the city, I saw a building that looked like a park square.
There aren't any green trees growing here, and there aren't even many lawns, just bare rock backs.
But in such a spacious park square, Xiaozhi and others saw stones embedded in the ground.
They vary in size and are scattered randomly in the park. The large stones are nearly one meter high. Almost half of the body is embedded in the ground. With the naked eye, only the upper half of the body can be seen arching out of the ground.
There is also a protective fence surrounding the stone, and searchlights are turned on to illuminate it.
This made the entire dark square seem to be lit up with twinkling stars on the ground.
"Is it a meteorite...?"
Xiaozhi and others walked into the nearest stone and quickly recognized it.
The rock surface has pits and arcs, and its edges are embedded in the ground, with traces of cracks that seem to fall from the sky and swoop to the ground.
Apparently, a magnificent meteor shower once fell in this place.
