"boom--"

A heavy sound echoed in the gym, and the huge body of the Salt Stone Giant finally couldn't bear the weight and fell to the ground with a bang, splashing a cloud of dust. At the same time, the salt crystals on Diancie and Yuan Zengyuan's bodies seemed to be pulled by some force and began to dissipate rapidly, revealing their original color and luster. At that moment, time seemed to freeze, and all eyes were focused on this decisive moment. If it was a second later, the annoying salt crystals might have devoured the two Pokémon. But fortunately, they relied on their tenacious will and tacit cooperation to successfully seize this fleeting opportunity, and the countdown of this battle was forever frozen at the second before victory.

"The Salt Stone Giant has lost its ability to fight. Therefore, the winner of this gym challenge is the challenger from Niaoguang City - Fang Ci!" The referee's voice was clear and powerful, penetrating the noisy venue and announcing the final result.

As soon as the words fell, the audience was instantly excited, with thunderous applause and cheers, as if they were going to overturn the entire gym. The excitement of this duel far exceeded their expectations. From strategic layout to skill confrontation, every link was full of tension and excitement, making people dazzled. Such a battle is not only a test of the strength of both sides, but also a hymn to wisdom and courage.

Some people admired Fang Ci's calmness and decisiveness. Facing the powerful Salt Stone Giant, he was able to quickly find the opponent's weaknesses and develop effective tactics. Others applauded Taim's persistence and hard work. Although he ultimately failed to win the game, the Salt Stone Giant's despairing strength was still deeply engraved in their minds, making the residents of Freezer Town, who had not met Taim for a long time, recall the strength of the former gym owner again.

This match will undoubtedly become a legend in the field of doubles matches and will be remembered by countless trainers. And Fang Ci, the young challenger from Niangguang City, also proved his worth with his strength and wisdom, and won the respect and admiration of everyone present.

"It's true that the waves behind push the waves ahead. You deserve this badge."

After taking back the Salt Stone Giant, the sisters Taim and Lime looked at each other and smiled with relief. Then Lime slowly walked to Fang Ci and placed a brand new badge in his palm.

"Fang Ci, your goal is to challenge the champion, right?" At this time, Taim slowly walked towards Fang Ci with a kind smile.

"Yes, I am now working hard to challenge the Padiya League and become the new champion trainer." Fang Ci answered neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Very good, I believe you can do it!" Taim looked at Fang Ci with satisfaction. She had completely recognized Fang Ci's strength after the battle just now. Looking at Fang Ci who was full of vigor and vitality, the faces of the other two children flashed through her mind.

"First it was Nimo, then Xiaoqing, and now we have you, Fangci. We in Padiya are really blessed by the goddess of luck. The young people of your generation are really amazing!"

In Padia, a land with a long history and flourishing elves, Taim and Lime, as trainers of the older generation, have witnessed the rise and glory of countless young talents. As time flies, their looks may no longer be what they used to be, but their love and persistence for elves and Padia are like aged wine, which becomes more fragrant as time goes by.

Whenever a new talent rises like a star, the hearts of Taim and Lime surge with indescribable joy. They watch these young faces sweating on the field, writing their own legends with wisdom and courage, as if they see their former selves, and their pursuit and desire for dreams are continued and passed on in young people.

Taim and Lim know that as they grow older, their era is gradually fading away. But they do not feel regretful, but feel extremely relieved and proud. Because they know that the future of Padiya is shaped by these energetic and creative young people.

In the eyes of Taim and Lime, Fang Ci and his team not only inherited the spirit and skills of the older generation of trainers, but also continued to innovate and break through on this basis. They have a broader vision, a sharper insight, and a more tenacious will. It is these precious qualities that make the Pokémon world of Padiya full of infinite possibilities and hope.

Therefore, whenever Taim and Lime stood on the high platform of the gym and looked at the vigorous and high-spirited young trainers below, their eyes always flashed with gentleness and determination. It was a remembrance and respect for the past, and an expectation and blessing for the future. They believed that with the joint efforts of Fang Ci and this group of young people, Padiya's future would be better and more glorious.

"By the way, Teacher Taim, I have something I want to ask you." After the enthusiasm of victory gradually cooled down, Fang Ci told the two of them about his plan to challenge the extreme cold trial. Taim and Lime had lived in the Frost Mountains for decades, and Fang Ci wanted to get some practical advice from them.

"Extreme Cold Trial, it's a term I haven't heard of in a long time!" Upon hearing the words Extreme Cold Trial, Taim and Lime's faces were filled with reminiscence.

"I'm sorry, kid. My sister and I are not experts in breeding ice-attribute elves. We have only heard some legends about the Extreme Cold Trial. We can't provide you with any interesting information."

"But we know that there is someone on this Frost Mountain who must know, because he just passed this legendary test five years ago."

"Who?" Hearing this, Fang Ci immediately asked excitedly.

"Of course it's Gym Master Gurusha of the Frost Mountain Gym in the south. He is the strongest ice expert in our Padia." Taim said with a smile.

“It’s him!” Fang Ci had heard of Gulusha’s name before. Gulusha possessed top-notch strength both as a ski athlete and as a gym leader. He had countless fans in the Padia area. In terms of popularity, only Qishu in Padia could surpass him.

"But Fang Ci, you came at a really bad time. Gulusha just went out to the Alola region two days ago to participate in this year's ski championship." Just as Fang Ci was ready to set off for the Frost Mountain Gym, Lime beside him suddenly poured a bucket of cold water on him.

"When will this tournament end?" Fang Ci asked anxiously.

"According to past practice, it will take at least half a month for Gulusha to come back." Lime said helplessly.
