Journey to the Kingdom of the Elves

The prelude to the water lotus test, Xiaozhi vs. water lotus.

"Pikachu~~" Pikachu kept acting cute on Xiaozhi's shoulder, but he still didn't change the reluctance deep in Xiaozhi's eyes.

Lilia glanced at Shui Lian who was still busy in the room, and struggled a bit: "Xiaozhi, what is elf battle to you?" After thinking for a long time, she asked with a suitable vocabulary.
"Elf battle. Let me think about it." To be honest, Xiaozhi didn't know how to answer this question, "How should I say it? For our trainers who challenge gyms to participate in alliance battles, elf battle is a way of growth? "

"Then if, during the battle, the elf was seriously injured and was close to death because there is no elf center nearby, would you still choose this path?" Xiaozhi and other students looked at Lillie with wide eyes, and Lillie felt herself It seems to say something unspeakable reality.

"For me, I will prepare wound medicine in advance. If there is no elf center, you can seek the help of elf nurses." Xiaozhi often carries berries and herbs to restore physical strength. A large part of the reason is that Xiaogang There are also words to him: precautions before they happen, getting used to making some necessary preparations, is also important as an elf trainer.

"Elf caregiver?" Although Lillie has seen this term in the book (be sure to send me a copy of this book), she has never seen a live one, so she is very curious.

"Nursery is also a profession of a trainer. One of my friends is an elf nurse and is also the owner of a gymnasium in the Kanto region." A question that existed in reality was unexpectedly asked by Lilia. The answer to this question It's not absolute, it seems that Xiaozhi still can't really understand the real meaning of this question, but one day, maybe he will know.
"Hey, what are you talking about?" Mayo finished cooking and brought out a few plates of dishes, Lilia felt a little embarrassed and said "I'll help serve the dishes" and ran into the room.

"It's nothing, wow, it smells so good!" Xiaozhi's reluctance to go to class for half a day because of some inexplicable reasons was finally dispelled by the delicious food.

"No wonder there is a scent in the distance, who is so awesome to invite our chef Mao to cook lunch!" Principal Oki basically smelled the scent all the way here, almost drooling when he saw a table of dishes up.

"Is it difficult for me, principal!" Mao pouted, with an unhappy expression on his face,
But Principal Damu was muttering in his heart: Nonsense, usually only you captains can enjoy your cooking.Mao could see what Principal Oki was thinking: "Principal, please sit down and eat, anyway, I cooked a lot today."

dinner!The elves and trainers were gobbling up as if they had been hungry for days, which made Maoo feel a sense of accomplishment in his heart.

"Xiaozhi is ready to go to the next island to challenge, how is the preparation going?" Principal Damu actually asked not only Xiaozhi, but also the other two of the three captains on the next island.

"Ready!" Xiaozhi replied confidently, which made Shuilian feel nervous.

"Pika. Chu?" Pikachu tilted his head, why didn't he know when Xiaozhi was ready, Mu Muxiao flew upside down, and Fire Spotted Meow sat on the ground and tilted his head just like Pikachu.

"Xiaozhi, you know what the next test is, so you're so sure?" Mayo always felt that this matter was a bit strange when he saw the reactions of the elves from Xiaozhi.

"Of course, I don't know!" Xiaozhi's three elves spread their hands together: Sure enough, when will their trainers really get ready.Mao and Mamane almost fell off their chairs, Shui Lian relaxed a little bit, and Xiaozhi didn't care about their various reactions.

"The next test is actually." Mao just wanted to talk about the test of the water lotus, but was interrupted directly by Xiaozhi.

"Wait, I don't really want to know the content of the test in advance, so I'm happy~" Xiaozhi clenched his fist, obviously very confident.

"... so confident, what if you fail in the challenge." I have to say that Xiaozhi's sense of self-confidence is not normal, but Mamane really can't understand such self-confidence.

"If you fail, stand up again at the place where you failed, and continue to challenge. How do you say that, failure is the mother of success. There is no trainer who has been successful without experiencing failure." Xiaozhi can be said to have experienced Countless failures that can be repeated, and some failures that cannot be repeated, this is also his thought from the bottom of his heart.

"I always feel that you have been a teacher for a long time, Xiaozhi. Haven't you quit the teacher mode yet?" Principal Damu complained silently, but I have to say that Xiaozhi's emotion came from the heart. Experienced countless feelings of failure,
in the afternoon,

"By the way, Xiaozhi, there must be more than a few battle examples of challenging gymnasiums you mentioned this morning, right?" Maou was actually curious about Xiaozhi's incredible combat experience.

"It's true that there are more than those few, but as I said it, I thought of everyone who was still with Dr. Oki." Pikachu quietly went to Xiaozhi's side and rubbed him: it's not yet time to call them over.

"Speaking of which, when Xiaozhi travels in other regions, he always challenges the gymnasium. Has he participated in the alliance battle?" Principal Oki thought that Alola was about to establish an alliance. If Xiaozhi participated in the alliance battle, he might be able to get Something about the league.

"Of course there is."

"Then can you tell me about the alliance?" Principal Omu asked obviously excitedly, seeing Xiaozhi's blank eyes, "Actually, our Alola region is also going to open an alliance!"

"This is amazing, so let me talk about other regional alliances. To participate in the regional alliance battle, you need to challenge eight gymnasiums in the area and get eight badges to participate." Mamane and the others heard Xiaozhi talk about the alliance. In fact, I am more curious about whether Xiaozhi participated in the battle, and then what ranking he got. However, Xiaozhi also hid the process of joining the alliance very deeply, but everyone has secrets that cannot be revealed. , but I feel the invisible pressure from Xiaozhi: we should give up the idea of ​​having a fight with Xiaozhi before starting the test?
"I don't even know when the Alola Alliance will officially start!" Xiaozhi had an expression on his face that I would definitely participate. Principal Oki said that the alliance would be established as soon as possible, and the first regional alliance battle in the Alola region would be launched in the near future.

"The goal is determined, right, Pikachu, everyone!"

"Pippi, Kachu~" Pikachu jumped up to respond, Huobanmao and Mu Muxiao probably guessed what Xiaozhi's target was talking about after listening, and responded accordingly.

"Alola's alliance battle! Definitely want to participate!" Xiaozhi didn't notice that Principal Oki said to Mamane and the others: "Come on!"
Time passed slowly, and soon it was time to leave school.

"Everyone, see you tomorrow~"

"See you tomorrow" Shuilian went home and started the special training quietly. She wanted to complete the prelude to her test before Xiaozhi went to the next island, the battle.

A few days later

"I went to the competition for a few days, and Shuilian actually made an appointment with Xiaozhi to fight. What did I miss?" Dr. Kukui felt that he missed a lot of things. Could it be that the lecture is using the combat examples of the Challenge Alliance.

"Xiaozhi, if you lose, don't even think about starting the first test on the next island!" Shui Lian said this confidently from nowhere.

"." Xiaozhi tilted his head and thought for a long time. He felt that there was something wrong with Shuilian's words, but he couldn't find the problem. He didn't think of a reason, silently removed distracting thoughts, and threw the Poke Ball of Fire Spot Meow.

"Flower Sea Lion, please!" Shui Lian threw out the Flower Sea Lion that had unexpectedly evolved during the special training these days.

"The evolution of the Qiuqiu sea lion?" Xiaozhi was not surprised that the Qiuqiu sea lion had evolved. The Rotom illustration flew over and scanned the Huayang sea lion: "The Huayang sea lion is the evolution of the Qiuqiu sea lion. Dance while making water balloons one by one and throwing them at the enemy."
