Chapter five hundred and sixty-ninth city people, city soul
"No! This must be a coincidence!"
Abi said in disbelief, especially when he looked at the fire rat in front of him, which looked upside down and staggering.
"Ladybug An, do it again, punch continuously with all your strength!!"
Ladybug An wiped the sweat from her forehead. It was the first time for it to see such a strange opponent, but it still calmed down, flapped its wings, and charged forward again.
The four fists were waved out in unison. This time Ladybug An increased the speed of each punch to the extreme, as fast as lightning.
“Da da da da!!”
In everyone's eyes, it was as if dozens of fists of the red bug appeared at the same time.
"call out..."
"call out..."
"call out..."
It's just that the previous scene was not a coincidence.
The Fireball Mouse was still staggering on the spot, sometimes leaning to the left, sometimes upside down, moving erratically, and even avoiding Ladybug's fists.
Not even one shot hit!
"As expected of my Fireball Rat, with such a talent!"
Although he didn't know what happened, Xiaozhi still smiled happily and was quite proud.
...Finally, this time the continuous punches ended.
"clatter."
The Fireball Rat suddenly jumped back and shook its little head.
"Wu~?"
He looked ahead with his narrowed eyes, then looked at Xiaozhi, with a cute expression that he didn't know what was going on.
"Oh, are you awake again?"
Xiaozhi was overjoyed.
What surprised him even more was that sparks of fire suddenly appeared on the Fireball Rat's bare back.
"Boom!"
Immediately afterwards, fierce flames surged up and covered the Fireball Rat's back, and the latter's leisurely and cheerful aura also became fiery and fierce.
The half-standing body stood up completely.
"!"
Such a fiery aura is undoubtedly what the insect-type Abi is most afraid of. The firelight shines on his handsome face, which makes him look a bit scary.
"Is that so..."
Xiaozhi stood behind the Fireball Rat and raised the corner of his mouth.
He is an old fire attribute master, and he knows what this kind of movement means.
Then Xiaozhi stepped forward, without suppressing this phenomenon, and shouted loudly:
"Fireball Rat, use the strongest flame jet right now!!"
"Wuwu!!"
The Fireball Rat also gave a rare growl and tried its best to open its small mouth.
"Boom!"
The next moment, the flames on its back exploded and burned, and huge flames spurted out from its mouth. It was hot and wide.
It turns into a huge beam of flame energy and sweeps straight towards the target.
Compared with the spitting flames, the Fireball Rat's figure even looks very petite.
"Boom!"
Ladybug An didn't react at all, the flames were already in front of her.
The thick flames completely covered and engulfed it, the surrounding temperature rose sharply, and hot wind danced.
In everyone's ears, you can even hear the "sizzling" sound of barbecue fat.
...
When the flames dissipated, the explosive flames on the fireball rat's back were extinguished and turned back into bare dark blue fur.
On the other side, Ladybug An had fallen to the ground, her whole body was burnt black, and she looked very miserable.
One move, instant kill!
"Ann Ladybug can't fight, Fireball Rat wins!"
The insect-catching boy in the middle gave the results while using a fire extinguisher at a corner of the field where the green leaves on the edge were contaminated by the jet flames and caused burning flames.
"Puch..."
The fireball rat's flame jet is so powerful that it can even cross the fire zone.
And this blow also made Abi's eyes look horrified, and he looked blankly at the fire rat opposite him with a harmless look on his face.
It seems that this fireball rat not only has the ability to perform stun punches before, but also has instant explosive power, and also has good performance...
...
"Come back, Ladybug Ann..."
Abi took back the Pokémon, took a deep breath, then raised his head and looked at Xiaozhi and Fireball Rat again.
"It seems that if I don't show any real skills today, you will easily take away the gym badge..."
Thinking of this, Abi took out his last elf ball and threw it forward.
"Come out, my unyielding and resolute insect warrior!!"
He even yelled a pretty cool line for this Pokémon's appearance.
When the red light flashed away, an emerald green upright mantis appeared in front of A Bi.
His body is about a head taller than A Bi. His whole body is composed of insect joints one by one. He has two pairs of thin and long wings on his back, and his arms have completely evolved into sickle-like organs.
He has firm eyes and a triangular spike on the top of his head.
"Chasa!"
He waved the sickle on his arm and gave a low shout.
The entire Pokémon stood there with a particularly fierce aura, like an unsheathed sword.
"The finale is the flying mantis..."
Xiaozhi looked carefully and did not dare to be careless.
This time he didn't take out the illustrated book. Flying Mantis is a Pokémon from his hometown, and he has encountered it twice.
But every time it is not an easy opponent, let alone the gym trainer’s final Pokémon.
The level looks very high...
"Attack with all your strength, Fireball Rat, use flame jet!!"
So when he came up, Xiaozhi asked the Fireball Rat to attack with all his strength.
"Wu!!"
The Fireball Rat clenched its two small fists, condensing all the chakra in its body onto its back, and the familiar sparks exploded and flashed again. Then, the Fireball Rat spurted out all this energy!
"Hiccup~"
It burped.
Hiccups, still a small circle of black smoke.
The Fireball Rat's back did not ignite with the fiery explosive flames like before.
"Have you not completely mastered this explosive power yet..."
Seeing this, Xiaozhi did not hesitate and raised his arm.
"Come back, Fireball Rat."
The fireball rat was severely beaten by the ladybug earlier. If he could not use the burst of flames before, due to the level difference, he would be instantly killed by the opponent's flying mantis.
Even Abi, as his opponent, nodded, which was a good judgment.
He was more curious now which Pokémon Ash would send.
...
"Hmph, since it is an insect-type gym, I also want to compete for the title of the strongest insect king..."
Xiaozhi had already put a new elf ball in his hand, his eyes lit up, and he threw it out.
When the red light dissipated, a huge dark blue horned fairy beetle appeared in front of Xiaozhi.
The body is thick, the limbs are lean, the powerful hind limbs stand on the facade, and on the head is a tall and hard horn.
"Hera!!"
Heracross shouted loudly and struck a muscular pose.
But just after taking this pose, Heracross looked around again and found that there was no sap to lick and suck. His resolute expression instantly withered, and he became a little lackluster.
Recently in the team, Ivysaur has returned to his hometown to become the king of the mountain.
The new grass-type Pokémon in the team is another big fat carrot.
I can lick it, but I can't suck it at all. Heracross's mood is not particularly high.
...
"Oh, oh, it's the pride of the Johto region, Heracross!"
The opponent's eyes suddenly brightened.
He is an old insect trainer, and he even has a Heracross himself, so he immediately recognized that Xiaozhi's one has good qualifications.
The people of Chengdu are the soul of Chengdu.
The first thing that people in Johto think about is breeding.
"It just so happens that my female Heracross seems to be in estrus..."
Of course, Abi quickly came to his senses and focused on fighting.
Let’s wait until after the game to talk about breeding...
