As a trainer, he has the rain trait

Xu Qingyan thought for a moment and suggested, "Your strength is increasing quite rapidly. How about a competition?"

Zhilin's mouth twitched. "What are you fighting for? Is it Yanlin's evolved Arcanine or Moltres? Am I asking for a fight?"

"It's not just the two of them. I have other Pokémon. Or, why don't you go challenge the gym and let me see your strength?"

Zhilin didn't hesitate, "Challenge the gym!"

Xu Qingyan said with some regret: "Okay then!" Then he gently released Moltres from the Poké Ball. In an instant, a dazzling red light flashed, and Moltres' huge and gorgeous figure appeared before his eyes.

Xu Qingyan lightly jumped onto Moltres' back, then extended his hand to Zhilin and said with a smile, "Come on up! The Frost North Gym is quite far away."

Moltres looked at Zhilin, who smiled and waved, "Thank you for your help, Moltres!"

The flamingo tilted its head slightly, glanced at Zhilin, then proudly raised its head and uttered a clear cry. Although it didn't show any particular enthusiasm, it also leaned down slightly to make it easier for Zhilin to sit on it.

Zhilin nervously held Xu Qingyan's hand, and with her help, climbed onto the back of the Moltres.

The moment he sat firmly, the Firebird suddenly flapped its wings and flew high. A strong airflow whizzed past and they quickly rushed into the sky.

Zhilin felt his body suddenly lighten, as if a feather had been swept into a violent tornado. At that moment, his eyes widened as wide as bells, filled with amazement.

The earth shrank rapidly as if under a spell. The trees that were once as tall as towering sky became as insignificant as matchsticks, and the familiar snow scene turned into pieces of white paper.

The strong wind whistled past his ears, welcoming him as a new visitor.

Zhilin's heartbeat accelerated wildly with the rhythm of the Moltres' powerful wings, and the smile on his face was the joy of the new experience.

He couldn't help but lean forward slightly, perfectly matching the flight posture of the Moltres. The azure sky stretched endlessly in all directions, and the white clouds retreated rapidly beside him.

"How is it? Is this your first time feeling this kind of flying speed?" Xu Qingyan said loudly to avoid being swallowed by the wind.

"Great!" Zhilin responded loudly, his voice interweaving in the wind.

Xu Qingyan's long hair fluttered in the wind, its black satin-like strands occasionally blowing across Zhilin's face. Zhilin could only sense a faint fragrance reaching his nose, causing his heart to beat faster.

He gently brushed away the hair in a panic, and his eyes inadvertently fell on Xu Qingyan's profile. The sunlight shone on her face, outlining her delicate features. The slightly upturned corners of her mouth and bright eyes caused ripples in Zhilin's heart.

After just one glance, Zhilin quickly looked away, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down, but the fragrance of the hair seemed to linger on his nose for a long time.

Soon, the outline of the Frost North Gym in the distance gradually became clear.

When Zhilin rode on the back of Moltres and looked down from high above, the entire picture of the Frost North Gym appeared before him.

The huge dome is like a shining pearl inlaid in the earth. The sunlight shines on the dome without reservation, and the golden light wanders on its mottled surface.

The main body of the dojo is built with huge bricks and stones, firmly rooted in the earth. The huge arches on the front appear even more spectacular when viewed from the air. The sturdy pillars arranged along the sides are arranged in an orderly manner, supporting the weight of the dojo.

The molten bird slowly landed on the ground, engulfed in a blast of hot air. As its wings flapped, it lifted up the surrounding snow. The snow mist sparkled with crystal light under the sunlight, like tiny diamonds scattered on the ground.

With the arrival of Moltres, the extremely heavy door of the Frost North Gym slowly opened, and a woman appeared at the door. She was wearing a single piece of clothing and had a graceful figure. She seemed out of place in this snowy world.

Her gaze fell on Xu Qingyan on the Moltres, her lips pursed slightly, then she bowed slightly and said softly: "Shuangbei Gym welcomes King Xu!" Although her voice was soft, it was clearly audible in the silent snow.

Zhilin tilted his head to look at the woman in surprise, wondering in his heart: Aren’t you cold wearing such thin clothes?

Xu Qingyan smiled lightly, "Master Ling is well-informed. I just arrived and you came out to greet me. I'm really flattered." Although there was a smile in her words, there was a hint of imperceptible provocation in her eyes.

Ling Shuang's expression remained the same, and she responded indifferently: "King Xu came unannounced. As the owner of the museum, Ling Shuang naturally cannot lose her manners. Otherwise, if it gets out, people will laugh at her." Her voice was icy cold, and she did not lose the upper hand in the face of Xu Qingyan's provocation.

Zhilin was keenly aware of the subtle atmosphere between the two people. It seemed that these two people were not getting along well.

Filled with questions, Zhilin leaped from Moltres's back and landed steadily on the ground. Then, he and Xu Qingyan followed Ling Shuang into the gym.

As soon as I entered the gym, a chill hit me.

The light in the gym was slightly dim, and the surrounding walls were inlaid with ice crystals emitting a faint blue light. In the center of the venue was a wide ice battlefield. The ice surface was as smooth as a mirror. In the weak light, one could see wisps of cold air quietly moving under the ice.

"Are you here to inspect the gym?" Ling Shuang's voice broke the brief silence. Her voice was still cold, echoing in the silent gym, making the temperature around seem to drop a few degrees.

Xu Qingyan raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Zhilin, "No, I brought him here to challenge the gym today."

Zhilin took a deep breath and took a step forward.

Ling Shuang narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at Zhilin and Xu Qingyan, and a faint sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth. "Come on, let me see what the people you brought are capable of. Don't let me down."

Xu Qingyan walked over to Zhilin, leaned over slightly, and said softly in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Fight her well, and help me put a damper on her arrogance!"

Upon hearing this, Zhilin lowered his voice and asked, "Is there any grudge between you two?"

Xu Qingyan shook his head slightly and said slowly, "There's no hatred, but we are old rivals. She thinks I defeated her by relying on my attribute restraint, and she has always been dissatisfied with me, the king."

Zhilin nodded thoughtfully. At this moment, Ling Shuang, who had already taken her place at the side of the battlefield, frowned, a hint of impatience flashing in her eyes. She said, "Are you still going to fight or not? If you have anything to say, wait until we're done. Don't waste my time."

Zhilin smiled sheepishly and quickly responded, "Coming!"

As he spoke, he walked towards the battlefield.

Xu Qingyan clenched his fists and said, "Come on!"
