I got the Pokémon

At this time, Piao Tai was also at the front desk in the lobby, talking to the man they had seen before. When they heard the door open, they both looked over at the same time.

Seeing Xia You again, the man couldn't help but laugh: "You finally came to the right place. See, just like I said, you can only see Hyota here in the morning. Oh, I forgot to introduce you. The person next to me is Hyota, the master of the Black Gold Gym. I'm Yansheng, Hyota's assistant and the referee here."

At this time, Hyota also looked at Xia You: "So you are the trainer who came twice? Sorry, sorry, due to the nature of my work, I can't stay in the gym all the time. It's really a waste of your two trips."

You know what, Piao Tai's tone was sincere, and you could tell he was a pretty good guy.

Xia You also nodded: "It's okay, I just happen to have other things to deal with in the next two days, so it won't be a delay."

Xia You also announced his name at this time.

The brief exchange ended here. Under the leadership of Hyota and Yansheng, Xia You and the other two came to the battlefield of this gym.

Compared to other places or other gyms, the battlefield of this Black Gold Gym is very mediocre.

In the middle of a huge room, there is a simple rocky area with a dozen rocks sparsely protruding from the area. Around the battlefield, there is nothing else except an extremely simple spectator stand.

It's so simple and plain...

From this we can see that the owner of Piaotai Pavilion is not really interested here. I'm afraid that a charcoal mine has consumed most of his energy, leaving him with no more time to manage this place.

Without any unnecessary courtesy, Xia You and Hyota stood in their respective trainer command areas. The assistant named Yan Sheng also put his hands in his pockets and walked to the referee stand on the side.

Seeing Xia You standing still, Yan Sheng pressed a switch in his hand. The next second, the steel dome above their heads opened, revealing the sky outside.

The cool morning breeze blew in from the open ceiling, bringing a hint of coolness to the place.

At this time, Yan Sheng said loudly: "The Black Gold Gym Challenge will be held between challenger Xia You and Hyota. The number of Pokémon used is three. When all three Pokémon of either side are unable to fight, the match is considered over! During the match, only the challenger is allowed to change Pokémon!"

Just like in the EMI Gym, the fighting rules were the most common and there was nothing noteworthy.

And just as Iwao finished speaking, Hyota also sent out his Pokémon.

With a flash of blue light, a small Geodude appeared in the arena.

Just looking at this Pokémon, Yami, who had just sat in the stands, couldn't help but laugh softly to Xiaoyao beside her: "It seems that this gym owner completely regards Mr. Xia You as a novice and actually sent such a Pokémon to deal with him."

"Yeah..." Xiaoyao also nodded, "But it doesn't matter. To deal with powerful Pokémon, Brother Xia You will naturally use powerful Pokémon, and to deal with these weak Pokémon, he also has a new lineup that needs to be trained. It doesn't have any impact."

At this point, she couldn't help but ask, "Ms. Yami, are you not going to participate in this gym match?"

"That's right." Yami smiled calmly, "Although I'm also traveling around, I'm actually not very interested in this kind of battle. I had a lot of fun fighting with Caizhong last time. At least I won't challenge it again in the short term."

"You are really different..."

Xiaoyao couldn't help but feel a little emotional. After all, from the previous battle with Caizhong, it was obvious that Yami was very powerful, but she was not keen on fighting. It was such a waste of her talent.

Shaking her head, she turned her attention back to the battlefield.

At this moment, looking at this little Geodude, Xia You didn't feel that he was being looked down upon. After all, Hyouta didn't know him, and it was a very normal thing for him to use an ordinary Pokémon guarding the gym to deal with him.

Without any hesitation, he took out the outermost Poké Ball from his right waist bag and pressed the switch.

With a flash of blue light, his Riolu appeared on the field.

This is Riolu's first time participating in a gym battle.

However, although it may lack experience in such situations due to the short time it has been tamed, its attribute advantages make up for this.

That’s right, the Fighting-type Riolu has double the power to restrain Geodude, which has ground and rock attributes.

Therefore, this stage is also suitable for Riolu to make its debut, find its form here, and show its momentum.

Piaotai naturally didn't know what Xia You was thinking, but when he saw him send out a Pokémon that could restrain Geodude, he understood that he wanted to win by using attributes. However, he didn't say anything. After all, at least half of the trainers who came to challenge this gym would fight with Pokémon that could restrain him. He had fought so many times that he had long been accustomed to it.

In his opinion, Xia You was just one of those countless challengers.

Riolu and Geodude stood facing each other, staring at each other. Both Pokémon were ready, and with Iwao's shout of "start", the gym battle officially began.

To be honest, because he had been traveling for a long time and had seen more types of Pokémon, Xia You had actually rarely dealt with Geodude. Now that he saw it, he naturally couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

But even though he was feeling emotional, he showed no mercy when he attacked.

Under his command, Riolu quickly ran towards Geodude. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Xia You wanted to decide the outcome through close combat, but Geodude did not want to sit there and wait for death just because of its unfavorable attributes. Instead, under Hyouta's command, it also waved its two huge fists and took the initiative to meet the enemy.

This surprised Xia You a little.

He originally thought that Geodude would use some means like sandstorms and digging holes to fight Riolu through non-direct contact, but he didn't expect Hyouta to be so tough and choose to fight head-on!

As expected of a Rock-type gym leader...

It turns out that none of those who like stones are wimps.

But it’s better this way, as it simplifies things. If Piao Taizhen attacks through sandstorms or digging holes, it would be very troublesome!

At this time, the two Pokémon were getting closer and closer. It seemed that because they didn't know how powerful Xia You was, they just treated him as an ordinary challenger, so Hyota was fighting in the same way as usual to defend the gym. He gave the order the moment Geodude got close to Riolu.

"Little fist stone, use roll!"

The Geodude that was originally floating towards Riolu, after hearing the order from its trainer, curled up its body as usual and rolled towards the target like a rapidly spinning wheel. It was really impressive and the distance was just right, giving the opponent room to roll without giving the opponent too much time to react.

But this trick works against other people...

Xia You has been traveling for so long and has seen too many people use such tricks. In addition, given the venue, he knew how to deal with it even with his eyes closed.

Pointing to the highest, largest, and least-destructible rock in the field, he shouted, "Riolu, jump on it!"

After so many days of training, Riolu has become confident. Originally, he wanted to hold on, but after hearing Xia You's order, he was stunned for a moment, but still jumped to a rock next to him as he was told. Then he locked his eyes on the largest rock in the field and jumped over.

There was no way Hyouta would let Riolu get away, so under his command, Geodude chased after him.

However, since it has reached a high altitude, Geodude's rolling attack must increase its power and speed as it rises. Otherwise, its power will inevitably weaken as the height increases, which will make its attack extremely inaccurate and unstable.

But even so, the smaller stones were broken into pieces by the rolling, until Riolu jumped onto the largest stone and was forced to stop because he was unable to move it with the power of the small rock.

This time, Riolu dodged Geodude's fierce attack with almost no effort, which also consumed a lot of the latter's physical strength. He also launched a counterattack against Geodude from a superior position.

It unleashed a vacuum wave, hitting the Fistulse at a very close distance, even though it had not yet completely recovered from its rolling state.

Geodude was hit directly and was blown far away in the explosion.

This move was extremely effective. Under the restraint of the attributes, it caused great damage to Geodude, and also made Hyouta raise his brows subconsciously.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

I always feel…

Although I have the advantage of convenient attributes, why does this opponent give me a feeling that he is a little unusual?

This kind of grasp of timing doesn't seem to be a novice...

In the time it took him to pause, Riolu had already jumped down from a high place and rushed towards Geodude. This time, Hyouta didn't dare to continue using the rolling attack, and instead shouted, "Use the awakening power!"

Awakening power?

This little Geodude actually knows this move! ?

This also surprised Xia You. After all, Geodude shouldn't have mastered this move through normal means. It seemed that he must have learned it through special methods!

Speaking of this awakening power, it is indeed very powerful. Even when one's own attributes are unfavorable, the attack caused will become an attribute that can cause excellent effects. To put it simply, no matter what the opponent's attributes are, this move will cause restrained damage!

It’s true, if this attack could really hit Riolu, it would really cause great damage to it.

But for a veteran like Xia You, since he knew the opponent's moves, he would naturally not let this move succeed easily.

"Riolu, use Lightning Flash!"

As Xia You gave the order again, with the help of a flash of lightning, Riolu's speed suddenly increased, but this time its move was not used to attack, but to dodge!

The two Pokémon were already very close to each other just now. According to Riolu's normal speed, he would definitely be hit by the awakening power. But at the moment when Geodude swung his punch, Riolu used a flash of lightning to dodge, and not only did he barely avoid the awakening power, but he also went behind Geodude in one fell swoop!

Now, the offense and defense have changed!

Xia You directly ordered the use of "Rock Crusher". As Riolu approached at a rapid step, a powerful punch that was powerful enough to destroy rocks hit Geodude!

boom!

The huge force, coupled with double restraint, directly knocked Geodude flying again and hit a rock nearby.

After seeing this, Hyota was completely certain that Xia You was definitely not an ordinary trainer.

After all, he could see clearly that, in fact, there was nothing special about this Riolu's abilities, and the reason why it was beaten like this was entirely due to this man's command. Although it looked inconspicuous, he could always find Geodude's pain points, leaving Geodude with only power but unable to convert it into real damage, and being suppressed everywhere.

Not everyone can do this!

In fact, not to mention him, even Xia You himself, after beating Geodude into this state, suddenly remembered something.

Oops……

I was here to train Riolu, so how come I took over the game subconsciously?

It really becomes a habit...

This is very bad!

Realizing this, Xia You had no way of weakening his command ability, so he simply kept silent and left the battlefield entirely to Riolu.

I have to say that this little Geodude is worthy of being a gym owner's Pokémon. Putting aside other things, at least its ability to take a beating is quite strong.

Even though it had taken double damage twice, it still had the strength to get up. Of course, although it looked bruised and battered, no matter what, this little Geodude was still holding on to his last breath and was not knocked down directly.

This is already very impressive.

Think again about the rolling attack and awakening power just now. If you look at it from the perspective of a normal challenger, it is indeed very powerful and worth treating with caution!

Retracting his thoughts, Xia You focused on the game itself.

Although it was already in danger, Geodude relied on the perseverance of the Rock-type Pokémon to charge towards Riolu one last time.

This time, Xia You did not choose to intervene, but gave all the choice to Riolu himself.

Riolu turned to look at his trainer and saw encouragement in his eyes. Although there was no telepathy, it understood Xia You's meaning through the wave guidance.

Nodding to Xia You, Riolu turned around and stared at his opponent closely.

At this time, Geodude had already floated close to it and used the Earth Throw.

This is also the third most threatening move displayed by this Geodude in this game. Faced with such an attack, Riolu made a judgment and reaction in an instant.

Just like when Geodude rushed towards him at the beginning of the battle, Riolu did not choose to dodge, but instead faced the challenge head-on and also rushed towards Geodude.

It’s true that Geodude is powerful, but as a Fighting-type Pokémon, it has never been afraid of anyone in close combat!
