Pokémon Memories and Journeys

Chapter 23 Water Ballet.Challenge Cerulean Gym

"Chi" Lilith murmured to herself, "I didn't expect that big refrigerator to be so cold, since it has such a passionate name."

"Huoha. Human, you have been thinking about that person since the beginning. You like him."

"What?" Lilith slapped Charmander away, "You haven't learned anything but you have learned to talk about relationships, right? It seems that I am not strict at all as a trainer."

Xiao Charmander covered his head in grievance: "Huoha. This dragon didn't say anything. From the beginning, it's not in line with your character for you to travel with him."

"It's just a relationship of mutual use. He has what I need."

"Huoha. Take advantage of"

"Idiot Charmander. You saw his Pikachu before. It goes without saying what his abilities are. Being able to control such a Pokémon proves that he is a trainer with status. In my opinion, he at least has the ability of the Four Heavenly Kings. "

"Huo Ha doesn't quite understand."

Lilith sighed: "Well, what's the point of telling you so much? You don't understand things in the human world."

In fact, only Lilith knows in her heart that the interest relationship is only part of it.She didn't know why, she just came into contact with Chi for no reason.

"Actually, our progress is quite fast. At this rate, it will take us up to 4 months to collect all the badges, which will leave us with 2 months of special training. But there is another thing that is very nerve-wracking."

"What's the matter, Huoha? If you want to fight, no matter what kind of battle, this fire dragon will accept it."

"Well, this is indeed about you." Lilith grabbed Charmander's tail and hung it in the air: "I said when will you evolve for me? I'm so serious about training you."

"Huoha, let me down. Human evolution is beyond my control. Why do I have to evolve?"

"Because" Lilith placed the Charmander on her head, "The Charmander doesn't look good at all."

Charmander faints.This master is really serious about it. If he talks about improving his abilities, Charmander might be able to inspire his fighting spirit to evolve or something.But Lilith just used her appearance as a lesson.

"Look at the Bibi bird, now it spreads its wings in a perfect movement. And the water elf, with its sparkling scales and water-like body, is ready for a beauty pageant. Just you, you are still following me holding on to your tail. "

"Huoha. This is a bad enough reason."

"Don't miss it if you pass by, the water ballet performance of the three beautiful sisters of Hualan. The location is at the Hualan Gym."

"Be sure to come and take a look when you have time." The gorgeously dressed publicist thrust a flyer into Lilith's hand.

I have seen the "Mermaid Princess' Holiday Water Ballet Performance" ballet Lilith, but I don't know much about the water ballet. "Besides, it is performed at the Cerulean Gym. I wonder if you can get badges at the Ceramic Gym." "

"I don't want to go to a place with fire and water." The little fire dragon shook his head quickly.

"What does it have to do with it? It sounds like it's quite interesting."

"No need for fire"

"Hey, can it be said that you are afraid of water? Our next game should be at the Cerulean Gym. Are you sure you don't want to go? Oh, I understand. You are afraid of water Pokémon. For example, water Elf"

"Huoha, who said that this fire dragon is afraid of that fish-tailed cat? Just go."

"Hey, as long as you agree." The technique of stimulating generals will always work on Charmander's side.

Looking for the route, Lilith came to the door of Hualan Gym.The entire gym looked like a circus tent, with the white sea lion's sign hanging in the center and cheerful music playing around it.There was a long queue in front of the door.

"I didn't expect this performance to be quite popular, but can this place still be considered a gym?"

Anyway, let’s go take a look first.Lilith went to the ticket office and bought a ticket, and it also had a seat.

Lilith took out the bank card given to her by the alliance. The most important thing she lacks now is money. The money given by these guys should not be used in vain. Last time it was called Nibi City, there was nothing to buy. This time, she must vent her anger. .

Lilith entered the venue. In the center of the stage was a huge aquarium filled with exquisite props.

A gentle female voice came from the radio: "Welcome to the audience to watch the water ballet at Hualan Gym, the mermaid princess's holiday. The performance will start soon."

At this time, the lights in the entire venue were dimmed, and a spotlight shone on the aquarium in the center.Beautiful orchestral music sounded, and the Pokémon actors appeared first. They danced happily in the water.

Then the actor wearing a mermaid costume appeared. Needless to say, his beauty and figure were really beautiful. His ballet movements in the water were also so beautiful that the audience was moved to the heart.It was okay at first, as water ballet was a new thing for Lilith, but then it became more and more boring, and the actors just danced and repeated similar movements over and over again.

Especially this story is still very cliche.What happened to the originally peaceful ocean? Two bad guys kidnapped the mermaid princess in the deep sea and wanted to snatch the Pokémon in the sea. Then a handsome prince appeared and rescued the princess. Together with the Pokémon, they defeated the bad guys. From then on, the princess and prince And the Pokémon lived a happy life.

The dance is very beautiful, but no matter how beautiful the movements are, you will get tired of watching it. Lilith couldn't help but yawned halfway through watching it. This kind of plot is too boring.Lilith originally imagined sleeping until the end of the performance, but she bought the ticket, and the seat was not far from the pool. A splash of water splashed over Lilith with cold water. Now it is still warm and cold, and Lilith is shaking. Made two sneezes.

Charmander had already protected his tail enough to get into the Pokmon Ball.Lilith wiped her nose and complained: "It's really useless. I probably won't be able to overcome the fear of water attacks for the rest of my life."

Finally the moment came to an end.Lilith stood up and clapped happily.The reason she endured until now was just to get the Hualan Gym badge.After being splashed with so much water and risking a cold, she could finally challenge the gym.

Lilith came to the backstage, and soon she could hear the girls playing, and soon three girls came out.

"Excuse me." Lilith stepped forward.

"The performance is over, the exit is in the other direction." The speaker was a blond girl with blue eyes. It was obvious that this was the person who played the mermaid princess just now.

"Well that's not the case."

"Are you here to ask for an autograph? Sorry, we three sisters refuse to sign now. But you can wait until the next autograph session we hold."

"Is this really the Hualan Gym?" The gym here is too unprofessional.

"correct."

"That's good." Lilith almost thought that her trip was in vain, "Please have a Pokémon battle with me."

"Hey, it's a challenger again." said a pink-haired girl next to him.

"That's right, it's the third one this week." Another girl with blue hair flipped her hair.

"But I have to get the blue badge. Please compete with me."

"You can just take the blue badge." The blonde girl handed the blue drop-shaped badge to Lilith.

Lilith blinked: "It's that simple."

"Well, no problem. I'm Sakura, the current gym trainer. This badge is recognized by the alliance. Although you can't refuse the challenge during gym training, you can still give up."

"Wouldn't it be easy to get the gym badge here?"

"It's not that we don't want to fight, it's just that my Pokémon have to perform. If they get injured, the performance will be delayed. Besides, Xiaoxia, who is usually responsible for the battle, is not here."

"I can't have this badge." I just happened to get the badge because the original owner was away. No matter what, Lilith couldn't live with it.There are more than 8 gyms in Kanto, and it's not too late to wait until the original gym trainer comes back to compete again, but you just can't get it without knowing it.

"Hey, it's another newcomer with a bad brain. I thought you were a cute girl, so I wanted to see you specially." Seeing that Lilith refused to accept it, Sakura didn't force it on her.

"I also heard about Hualan Gym on the road. It is said to be the weakest gym in Kanto. But I didn't expect that this is the gym that issues badges."

Sakura spread her hands: "So just for a while, the three of us sisters spent all our energy on beauty, and how could we have any free time to manage the gym."

"You just said that the original trainer of this gym is not here, which means that this gym does not completely belong to you. If the gym trainer who left the gym is traveling to revitalize the gym, you are like this His behavior is ruining the reputation of the gym, what do you think the gym trainer who is traveling would think."

Sakura was speechless for a moment. There were some passionate trainers before, but when they were about to take back their gym badges, their passion quickly turned against their own interests.

"I see that the reason why my gym is still open is probably because the alliance set up the novice competition for new trainers to challenge their first gym. Lilith is also good at tricking me, but I don't need such a badge. "

"" None of the three Hua Lan sisters spoke.

"A gym that refuses to work hard even if it fails to live up to other people's expectations. Do you really want to make the name "The Weakest Gym" a reality just like the rumors?"

After saying this, Sakura was a little shaken: "Is it the weakest gym?"

Only she knew in her heart that the alliance only kept the Cerulean Gym open in order to prevent novice trainers from losing confidence at the beginning. To put it bluntly, the Ceramic Gym usually lost battles.The three sisters simply gave up the gym, and only Xiaoxia was still working hard to become a water Pokémon master.

"I was a little touched by your words. What a troublesome child." She saw the determination in Lilith's eyes. Just by looking at her eyes, she knew that Lilith was not an ordinary novice trainer.

"Hehe." Lilith put down her serious face, and she realized that she seemed angry just now, "I hope I can meet a real gym trainer next time I come here. I will definitely get the Hualan badge by then."

"no need."

"Eh"

Sakura took a step forward and looked at Lilith with her tall figure: "I am Sakura, the current gym trainer of Hualan Gym. I accept your challenge."

Lilith was stunned for a moment, she really didn't expect that her words would be so useful.Then the fire of fighting aroused in his eyes: "This is how it should be."

"It's been a long time since I've been active. Occasionally I have to show the true strength of our Cerulean Gym."

"Sister Sakura, are you really serious about competing? How long has it been since you seriously competed in gym competitions?" The pink-haired girl who called herself Peony was a little worried.

"No problem, I bet this girl is not an ordinary newcomer trainer. Our duty is just to give ordinary newcomers confidence, we don't need to lose on purpose."

"But do we still have Pokémon suitable for battle in our gym?" Acorus was also a little worried.

"Mom also left a Pokémon before, and my White Sea Lion has also evolved. Also, I'm a little curious about her strength."

Lilith scratched her head in embarrassment: "I might disappoint you."

"Well, don't talk so much yet. Peony and Iris are going to prepare the battle site now."

"Yes." Both Peony and Acorus knew that Sakura was serious now.

"I finally decided to fight. Don't be careless just because this is the weakest gym, my lovely challenger."

Lilith grinned: "Please be merciful."

Led by Sakura, Lilith arrived at the battle site.The venue of Hualan Gym is a huge swimming pool with several ice floes floating on it.

Sakura stood at the other end of the swimming pool: "Challenger, what's your name?"

Lilith also stood up as a challenger: "I'm from Zhenxin Town, and my name is Lilith."

"Well, let's start with the trainer from Zhenxin Town." Sakura glanced at Acorus.

Acorus nodded: "On the left is Lilith from Zhenxin Town, and on the right is Sakura, the trainer of the Ceramic Gym. The rule is 2v2. The game ends when both Pokémon on one side lose their fighting ability. Ceramic Gym Badge The competition begins now”

"The first thing I want to use is this." Sakura threw the elf ball.

A goldfish king appeared in the swimming pool, with a red body and sharp horns like diamonds, looking menacing.

"It turns out to be the Goldfish King, a high-level opponent." Lilith began to formulate a strategy in her mind, "Okay, I've decided it's you, Bibi Bird."

"Bibi" the Bibi bird spread its wings and joined the battle field with a loud cry.

"Bibiniao, this is your first official game, so work hard."

"Bi" Bibi Bird is very confident. It was the only one that didn't play in Nibi Gym before. To be honest, I feel a little itchy.

"You are the challenger, then you attack first."

"Okay, then I won't be polite. Bibi Bird aims at the Goldfish King and uses Fierce Wind."

"The goldfish king dives into the water."

The Goldfish King received no damage at all in the water, and the violent wind was only powerful enough to stir up a layer of waves.

"Using Ultrasound to Contrast Birds."

The Bibi bird is flying in the air, and the goldfish king underwater can easily determine its position.He jumped up, used ultrasonic waves to hit the bird, and then jumped into the water.

Bibi Bird was confused. All of a sudden, everything in front of him became blurry. His mind went blank and he could only fly around in the air.

"Bibi bird, hold on, the chaos will be over soon. Calm down and listen to my orders."

After hearing Lilith's words, Bibiniao shook his head and regained some of his consciousness, but the feeling of confusion was really uncomfortable and his brain was feeling dizzy.

"Very good, that's it. Look carefully at the position of the Goldfish King. Although it is swimming, I believe your eyesight will be fine. If you can't attack from a distance, just use Lightning Flash in close combat."

With its outstanding eyesight, Bibi Bird quickly grasped the movement patterns of the Goldfish King. He used a flash of lightning in a dive to cut a hole in the water and hit the Goldfish King.The Goldfish King received a lot of damage.

"It's very good. We can directly see the movements of the Goldfish King in the water. But we are not that weak. We can use the Unicorn Diamond."

Then there was a flash of lightning and Bibi Bird was right next to him. The Goldfish King gathered all his strength on his sharp horns and stabbed Bibi Bird.

"Quickly dodge the Unicorn Diamond, but it will kill you with one move." Unexpectedly, the Goldfish King would use his ultimate move so quickly, Lilith quickly urged Bibi Bird.Getting hit with a diamond is no joke.

The chaotic state was still there. Although Bibiniao could still use his skills, his reaction speed was obviously slower.Hearing Lilith's instructions, he was stunned for a moment. The attack that he said was easy to avoid actually brushed the feathers on his wings this time.

A few feathers flew in the air, and then slowly fell to the water, making waves.

"I thought the Goldfish King would hit it, but it was avoided in the end." Sakura looked a little distressed.

"Tsk." In this way, Bibi Bird's attacks were blocked.The violent storm can't hit him, and the risk of lightning flash is too great. Although there is another trick, now is not the time to use it.

But he had no choice but to bite the bullet: "Keep a distance from the Goldfish King and use Lightning Flash again."

"Bi" Bibi Bird used lightning flash again to hit the Goldfish King.Lilith was obviously draining the Goldfish King's energy.

Sakura over there couldn't avoid the damage from the lightning flash. She knew that her HP would be used up if she continued like this, so she suddenly became anxious: "The Goldfish King uses the Unicorn Diamond continuously."

The horned drill attacked again and again, and Bibi Bird was unable to fight back in the chaos. It could only barely dodge. It passed by several times and fell to the leeward. Maybe it would be stabbed next time, and then All bets are lost.

"In this case, the bird uses flight to fly into the sky and then dive into the water."

"What are you going to do?" Lilith's actions made Sakura confused.

Bibi bird flew up and got rid of the one-horned Pooh.He surged up and rushed into the water without any hesitation.

"You are seeking your own death. Goldfish King's attacks are more effective in the water. Goldfish King, use the horn drill, and you must hit it this time."

The goldfish king turned on its full power and swam very fast, rushing towards Bibi Bird.

"Bibi Bird, forget about the goldfish you saw. Avoid its diamond."

Bibi Bird suddenly came back to his senses. The moment it entered the water, its confusion was resolved. Now it is extremely clear-headed.His sharp eyes did not miss any of the Goldfish King's movements, and the movement trajectory was immediately seen. Coupled with his superior speed, he avoided the horned diamond without any pressure.

"At such a speed, it unravels the chaos. It turns out that this is your purpose."

Lilith shook her head: "No, it's just the beginning. Bibi Bird will take advantage of this moment to use the most powerful tornado."

"Bi" Bibi Bird's row of wings gathered in the water with a dragon's whirlwind, and a huge whirlpool appeared in the swimming pool.Because the tornado started in the water, the tornado swept the water in the swimming pool into the air, and then it was discovered that an area in the swimming pool was hollowed out.

And the Goldfish King happens to be in this area. Without water, it is like a stranded fish, and its movement is restricted, let alone activating its skills.

"What?" Sakura was shocked, could a tornado still be used like this?

"Now Bibi Bird will give the Goldfish King his last lightning flash."

The flash of lightning hit the Goldfish King for the third time without any defense. This time, the Goldfish King's physical strength reached its limit.

The tornado slowly stopped and the water returned to the pool.Bibi Bird flew in mid-air waiting for the result.But there was no movement in the swimming pool for a long time.

"It looks like I won this round." Lilith wiped her sweat. Before, she was really worried that the unicorn diamond would cause Bibi Bird to lose its ability to fight.

"Hey, yes, a beautiful person like me is really not suitable for fighting. But the Goldfish King uses your last physical strength to use a sacrificial attack."

Neither Lilith nor Bibi Niao expected that Goldfish King Jingran could still fight.The goldfish king jumped out of the water and hit Bibi Bird. Bibi Bird was knocked away for a long distance.But the Goldfish King also suffered a reaction, and his remaining strength was used up, and mosquito coils burned in his eyes.

"The Goldfish King has lost the ability to fight. Please ask the gym leader to replace the Pokémon."

"Come back, King Goldfish." The King Fish floating on the water was taken back.

"I really didn't expect that last blow. I really didn't expect the level of this goldfish king to be so high."

Sakura waved her hand: "After all, this is a gym, and it also needs some powerful Pokémon to control the gym. This Goldfish King is a Pokémon left over from my father's generation, and the level is of course high. But congratulations on defeating it. I may really not be good at fighting, but as a gym trainer, I would like to remind you that as long as the game is not over, the trainer must not let down his guard."

Sakura was right. Because of her little negligence, Bibi Bird was attacked without any reason: "Thank you, Sister Sakura. I will remember your words."

"He is a good boy. Then continue, the next Pokémon was raised by me, you have to be careful." Sakura took out another Pokémon ball, "Go to White Sea Lion"
