[Pokemon] Sycamore

"I said...does this happen to you often?" Sitting on the sofa in the rest area, Xiaotong asked without raising her head while combing the ends of her freshly dried hair.

The target, of course, is the Yuzu Gym Leader, Ayi, who has a somewhat ugly face.

"No... this is the first time we have encountered such weird weather." Thinking of his sister who had been crying and finally fell asleep, her brows were still frowning in her sleep, Ayi clenched his fists.

"It seems that this kind of change is not only happening here."

At this time, Dawu, who had just finished using the phone and had already changed into light clothes, walked slowly over and sat next to Xiaotong.

"I just contacted the doctors and industry authorities I know, and it seems that disasters of varying degrees are happening everywhere. You see." Dawu spread the first-hand data in his hand on the table for everyone to read in detail.

Landslides, storms, tornadoes... terrible disasters of varying degrees occurred one after another in every place. ?

"...Okay, this situation is not something we can handle. Let the experts study it first. It won't be too late to take action when we need the help of a trainer. Now let's talk about the purpose of my coming to Yuzu Gym." Clap your hands. Drawing the attention of Ayi, who had a solemn expression, Xiaotong continued: "As a Pokémon trainer, you can only come to the gym for that reason."

"Is it a challenge..." Ayi was silent for a moment, "Honestly, after something like this happened, I have no intention of playing the game now, and..."

"Skills are inferior to others, and there is no point in continuing to compare."

Xiaotong was a little surprised by Ayi's show of weakness, and retorted with an unswerving expression: "Is this how you behave as a gym leader? Making a conclusion before fighting? I won't accept this excuse. ! Even if you can get the badge without any effort!"

"Haha... This is not an excuse to escape." Ayi smiled bitterly, brushing his dark red hair and explained: "At least, the Pokémon I cultivate cannot resist the power of nature, and can also Sustained for such a long time.”

"I'll tell you the truth! Even though I, Ayi, lost to the challenger, I never denied the abilities of myself and my partners. We showed our dance moves to the fullest and will always come first. But you..."

Pointing at Xiaotong who looked confused, Ayi sighed, and finally slowly lowered his arm. "The challenge at Yuzu Gym is a target shooting test and a battle with the same attributes. I saw what your Charizard used before. The flame vortex can even accurately form a safe zone to protect us. I knew that I had no chance of winning the previous competition. As for the Pokémon battle... let go of those long-famous king-level champions. , there has never been a challenger who can make me feel invincible, you are the first, and I hope you will be the last.”

"Otherwise, I, the owner of the museum, will retire." Ayi said bitterly.

"Even though you said so..."

"Okay~ I know that a serious trainer like you won't give up easily." The conversation suddenly changed, and before Xiaotong could finish speaking in embarrassment, Ayi suddenly regained his energy and narcissism as before.

"Let you see our dance. Now that we have come to Yuzu Island, it is unreasonable not to entertain challengers with our specialties."

"I will show you the dance with all my partners. Of course, this is against the rules, so there is no doubt that the badge belongs to you. Come on, follow me!"

After striking an ecstatic pose, the boys beside Ayi also played rock-style music in harmony, motioning for Xiaotong and the others to follow and walked towards the training room to the rhythm.

Xiaotong, who was embarrassed and energetic, was stunned for a while before he caught up.

The result did not exceed A Yi's expectations. Just by sending out the Charizard, Xiaotong defeated all the players on A Yi's side. The opponent's so-called dance steps were more like red-hot iron plates under the high temperature created by the Charizard. Jumping in panic.

So, after getting the third Baolun Badge, Xiaotong and his party headed straight towards the north that she cared about so much!

----------------------------------

"Well~ This kind of thing is unexpected. I don't blame you Dawu."

"....No, I should have made more preparations if I had known that the weather was going to be weird."

Although Xiaotong saw Daigo's somewhat depressed look and gave a soft voice to comfort him, he seemed to blame himself even more... Leaning next to the stranded boat, Xiaotong didn't have any better ideas for the time being.

What happened was that while driving north, the two of them suddenly encountered a storm on the way, and even the pointer failed in an instant. If Xiaotong hadn't called out the Gyarados in real time to drag the boat carrying them to a small island, what would have happened? Don't know what will happen.

But looking at the weather that has cleared up a bit now, it seems that the situation is not that bad.

"Let me take a look, this seems to be... Asia Island?" Xiaotong exclaimed as he spread out the chart.

I didn't expect to come to this place.

Asia Island seems to be the cultural center of the Orange Islands. It has inherited many celebrations that have been handed down since ancient times, the most famous of which is the legendary celebration.

For hundreds of years, local people have worn traditional clothes to respect history. However, when the younger generation took over, it became a win-win development that preserves tradition and promotes tourism on the other.

The so-called traditional costumes are similar to the costumes used for sacrifices in ancient times, all kinds of weird masks and long and exaggerated long shawls... just like the group of people Xiaotong saw in front of him now.

"Excuse me...is something wrong?" Looking back at Dawu who was still busy repairing the ship, Xiaotong looked back and asked cautiously.

Could it be that it’s time for the festival?But there is no need to mobilize so many people to welcome just two tourists who are suspected of being in trouble, right?Seeing no fewer than ten figures in strange costumes in front of her, Xiaotong was speechless.

"Another controller has come, what should I do, elder?" Covered by a large mask, a certain leading young man first looked at the baby ball hanging on Xiaotong's waist, and then asked in a dull voice. A short old man.

It's the elder again... According to the conversation between them, Xiaotong instantly remembered the bad memories and continued to listen to their conversation with a black streak in his head.

Ready to evacuate at any time!

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter~ Just have fun with the traditional celebration. It's just a formality. As long as there is one person, it doesn't matter who participates. The point is to have fun hahahaha~" First there was a burst of hearty laughter, and the person who was called the elder The old man took off his mask in the next second and looked at Xiaotong who was on guard with kindness. "Welcome to Asia Island ~ Young controller~ Please accept our invitation to participate in tonight's lively celebration!"

Hearing this, Xiaotong breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and knocked on the hull of the ship and called out: "Dawu, there is no need to rush to work. Let's go to the island and take a rest. If there is a problem with the ship, you can ask the island residents to help." Then he jumped out. Jumping off the splint, Xiaotong greeted the residents as a representative.
