[Pokemon] Late Autumn

"Please have a fight with me."

A clear voice sounded in Shenqiu's mind, which made her look in Riolu's direction in surprise.

Riolu's expression was firm, and his light red eyes stared closely at Shen Qiu, fearing that she would disagree.

Riolu received treatment at the Elf Center for several days, and his injuries throughout his body had almost recovered. On the morning of the fourth day, when Late Qiu was finally ready to leave, he was stopped by Riolu.

In fact, Xiaozhi and the others left the next morning, and told her that underneath the mysterious stone ruins was a deep pool of water, in which ancient elves, such as the ancient coelacanth, lived.

That's the ancient coelacanth!

After hearing Xiaozhi's words, Shenqiu couldn't believe her ears, because the ancient coelacanth was once considered extinct by the academic community. It was not until later that people discovered that the ancient coelacanth still existed in the deep sea. This mistake The perception was corrected.

...She doesn't want to think about what she missed, not at all!

But that doesn't matter now.

"Have you made your decision? It will be very hard to follow me." Shen Qiu closed her eyes and put on a serious expression.

Riolu nodded firmly.

When it was most helpless, this person extended a helping hand to it. If it hadn't been for late autumn, it might have endured the pain silently in a deserted corner, and even lost its life because of it.

No one cares when an elf dies, or where it dies.

Of course, if it is lucky enough to survive, it can return to the forest or cave and find a place without people to live silently. If it is lucky, it will be good to meet its own kind. It can still live well and live comfortably.

But it tried to think about the future without late autumn, and was filled with unspeakable panic.

It is completely unacceptable to live like this.

When the sun warms it, it doesn't want to lose the sun again.

So it's decided now.

When Shenqiu saw Riolu's expression, he was a little startled, and then nodded solemnly: "I understand."

She understood Riolu's will from that look.

Even though it does not have excellent fighting skills and does not have the strong physique that a true fighting elf should have, it is still the most determined and tenacious warrior.

That's fine, let her see how this unyielding soul fights!

"Derubi, I leave it to you."

Delubi nodded and raised his chin towards Riolu.

They started fighting in the open space behind the Elf Center.

I have to say, Riolu is really smart.

It cannot use any fighting physical attack skills, so it is not a big threat to Darubi, but it is very fast, so it tries to confuse Derubi with a flash of lightning and high-speed movement.

It worked well at first, but Delubi's eyes couldn't keep up with Riolu's speed, and he could only see an afterimage flashing past him. After being hit several times by the lightning flashes launched by Riolu from all directions, Delubi took a few rough breaths and wrapped himself in a flame vortex to prevent Riolu from getting close again.

Fire is the best barrier.

The extremely high-temperature flames caused Riolu to stop. It took a breath and stared at Delubi surrounded by red flames, thinking quickly about how to deal with it.

Riolu couldn't see the scene inside, and Delubi couldn't see the scene outside. Delubi didn't hear any more sounds of attack. After thinking for a moment, he removed the flame barrier and looked at Riolu with a somewhat dissatisfied look.

If that were the case, it would be a disappointment.

Delubi narrowed his eyes.

Show me what else you can do, kid.

Riolu opened a relatively safe distance and condensed the waveguide that he was not very proficient in using. The blue energy slowly gathered into a sphere in Riolu's hands.

Delubi stopped preparing to attack with the wave of evil, but took a few steps back, standing far away and observing Riolu.

There was a lot of sweat on the little Riolu's forehead. He took a step back and held up a blue, unstable wave missile that contained mysterious energy. But before it could launch the wave missile, the energy group exploded with a "boom" in front of Riolu, forming a blue and transparent explosion wave that roared away in all directions.

Dairubi was caught off guard, and the pain spread from his body to his limbs. This uncomfortable feeling made the vicious dog frown. He didn't expect the wave missile to be so powerful. It instinctively feels dissatisfied and disgusted with the power of this waveguide. The waves caused by such energy explosions make it feel like someone is using a balloon filled with water to explode all over its body. It is simply terrible.

Late autumn! Delubi quickly looked in the direction of Late Qiu.

Late Qiu instinctively used her arms to block her face. She did feel the terrifying power contained in the wave missile, but the explosion wave didn't seem to have as big an impact on her as Delubi... Well, she was washed away by the energy group. It was a little uncomfortable all the time.

No, Riolu was the closest to the explosion.

Shen Qiu quickly looked over, only to find Riolu standing there as if nothing had happened, just panting slightly.

Riolu is not yet proficient in the power of the waveguide. Although the power seems to be enough, he lacks some control.

But for Dairubi, the effect of this move can be said to be outstanding.

Delubi shook his head, a little irritated. It roared angrily, but it still controlled its strength and fired a medium-thick jet of flame at Riolu.

Late Qiu didn't understand what Dairubi meant. The vicious dog didn't say anything, but it did release a lot of water, and even the flames were not contaminated with its favorite toxin.

To Shen Qiu's surprise, Riolu stood calmly on the spot, without evading, but faced the flames directly. Before the flames arrived, he used a waveguide to condense a bone rod and spun it rapidly in front of him. , waved it into an airtight circle, directly hitting the flames to the other side.

This is a bone strike!

Late Qiu's eyes widened slightly. This undirected battle allowed her to better see the actions of both sides as a bystander, and she was also surprised after Riolu used Bone Strike.

Bone Strike is a skill that can only be learned after evolving into Lucario. Its ground attributes and the power of the bone rod cannot be underestimated.

Using a bone rod to block the jet flames was something she didn't expect... Shen Qiu curled her lips and looked at Riolu with some approval in her eyes.

Not only that, Riolu slowly moved forward while blocking the jet of flames. After realizing this, Darubi quickly stopped the flames. It took a few steps back and surrounded Riolu with its shadow clones. stand up.

Riolu swung the bone rod violently, swiping away the remaining sparks, and the bone rod quickly disappeared in Riolu's hand, leaving only the blue waveguide fluorescence.

Waves of evil from all directions spurted towards Riolu in the middle. Riolu lowered his body. When Derubi realized that his attack had been in vain, there was only a hole left in the middle of the field.

Will Riolu still use Dig?

No one came to answer Late Autumn's questions, but Riolu had already jumped out from outside the encirclement of Dairubi. He once again used the waveguide to condense a bone rod in his hand. Holding the weapon tightly, he started to move at high speed again, killing Dairubi one by one. The penis was knocked out, leaving only Delubi's body watching in surprise as he was knocked away by Riolu's bone club.

Dairubi fell not far away and suffered some trauma. There was a lot of dust on his dark fur, and he looked a little embarrassed.

But its eyes finally changed, becoming extremely sharp and serious.

Whether it was a wave missile or a bone strike, the damage to Dairubi was not small. Fortunately, the vicious dog could still withstand it, otherwise the battle might have ended at this time.

"Okay, that's it—"

Shen Qiu clapped her hands and walked between Riolu and Delubi with a smile, "I think you are enjoying yourself now, and at the same time you have recognized each other's strength."

"Yes. As an opponent, it is very strong."

Riolu waved away the bone rod condensed with waveguide in his hand and took a serious look at Delubi.

It is very clear that Dairubi did not show its true strength just now. This level has already made it feel evenly matched. If the other party showed its true strength, it would never feel so relaxed.

"This kid is not weak."

Delubi shook his body, shook off the dust, walked up to Riolu, looked at it for a while before nodding.

It reluctantly admitted that Riolu was quite powerful.

But it’s still a lot worse than that!

After receiving Riolu's waveguide in his mind and feeling the vicious dog's emotions from Delubi, Late Qiu knelt down and rubbed the heads of Riolu and Delubi. He couldn't bear to see them looking over at the same time. He couldn't help but smile and said: "You are all very strong and performed very well. I have seen all the outstanding things. No matter what -"

"Welcome to join us, Riolu."

Riolu's eyes widened.

It feels like vision is a little blurry.

When it saw the Poké Ball in front of it, it couldn't wait to click the button in the middle and got in. It completed the subjugation without any shaking. Then a red light flashed and Riolu appeared in front of her half-kneeling. After a while, he gently raised his head:

"Thank you."

Thank you...for everything you've done for me.

After Riolu joined the team, she scanned Riolu through the illustrated book to see what skills it could use.

A flash of lightning, a blast of bone strike, high-speed movement, shadow, digging, preemption and patience.

Oh, and that half-baked wave missile.

But why does Riolu have so many ground-type skills...?

Late Qiu opened her mouth and wanted to ask something. As if he knew what she was thinking, Riolu used a waveguide to transmit the sound in her mind:

"I was...after that, I met the kind-hearted Caracara and Gala Gala mother and son, who helped me a lot. But...then Caracalla was subdued by other trainers, so I left. Come here Come and train by yourself near here.”

"I work hard, but I still...can't learn any fighting skills..."

Riolu's voice was full of nostalgia when he talked about Caracara and the others, and finally became hoarse when he thought of himself.

Dairubi saw that Shen Qiu first suddenly understood, and then looked at Riolu in surprise. Then his expression became complicated and tangled, with unbearable and distressed feelings, but he hesitated to speak, as if he wanted to comfort the other person but was afraid of hurting him. The other person has the same self-esteem.

Oh, this is awesome. It had no interest in knowing what they said.

Delubi ignored the secret exchange between one person and one dog with an indifferent expression.

It's good not to be heard, at least you don't have to face such a tangled expression.

Delubi walked at the front, with his back to Shenqiu and Riolu, and he quickened his pace with an expressionless face.

"Not far ahead is Chenghua City."

Even so, it's still quite a distance to the city. Standing on a hillside not far from Chenghua City in late autumn, you can see the whole of Chenghua City from here.

Chenghua City was surrounded by hillsides and dense woods. A stream slowly flowed by. She stood at the upper reaches of the water source and looked down at the city quietly.

Chenghua City was much larger than the previous Kaina City, and there were more high-rise buildings. The bustling city made her couldn't help but stop and look at the scenery.

The Young Tooth Dragon was also released by her before, and it greeted Riolu excitedly, and Riolu and the Young Tooth Dragon actually got along well. Maybe seeing the Young Tooth Dragon reminded Riolu of his past. Cara Cara.

Riolu seemed to be extraordinarily patient with the babies... She noticed that Riolu was no longer cautious, and a warm smile appeared on his face when talking and laughing with the baby dragon.

This is the best, this is her favorite picture.

Late Qiu looked at the map again and suddenly sighed.

It was only when she was about to arrive at Chenghua City that she discovered that the Chenghua Forest the doctor mentioned was not before Chenghua City, but between Chenghua City and Kanaz City, a large area of ​​exceptionally lush trees.

Although she has no plans to challenge the Chenghua Gym yet, since she is passing by, it would be a good choice to take a look at the battle style of the Chenghua Gym.

She put the Baby Tooth Dragon and Riolu back into the Poké Ball, and walked towards the Orange Flower Gym with Delubi.

"Sorry to bother you-" She opened the door and walked in.

She noticed that many trainers around her looked over, with scrutiny in their eyes.

"Challenger?" A woman walked out. She saw Shenqiu and Dairubi next to her, and she smiled and led her inside. "My husband is still fighting against the challenger. He may need trouble. Just wait."

"Ah, it's okay." Shen Qiu waved her hand quickly, "My name is Shen Qiu, from the Hezhong area. I'm sorry to disturb you. Can I go in first to watch the battle?"

"Of course." The woman nodded and opened the door for Shen Qiu. Inside was the battle venue of the gymnasium. The wooden structure of the house and the dark ceiling made Shen Qiu feel a bit solemn and awe-inspiring.

This is Chenghua Gym!

Late Qiu looked at the hyperactive ape and the challenger's mushroom on the field, found a place to sit around, and watched the game seriously.

The result was unbelievable to her.

She saw that the originally calm young man suddenly panicked after his Dou Li Mushroom fell. Facing the more powerful Leave King, he was almost beaten to the point of defeat. He quickly put away the elf and ran out with his head lowered. .

He forgot all the instructions and warnings from the owner, and all he could think about was leaving this place quickly.

The leader of Chenghua Gym... is terrifyingly powerful.

Late Qiu suddenly felt tremendous pressure, as if she had returned to the first time she fought against the powerful Mr. Shaka. She almost completely forgot how to command the elves.

Taking back what I said before, it seems that I am not qualified to challenge the Chenghua Gym yet, so I should wait until later.

She stood up silently and prepared to leave.

When he was about to leave, he saw the gym leader walking towards him. There was a hint of apology on the man's face: "I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long. I am Qianli, the leader of Chenghua Gym. Are you the challenger?" ?”

His tone was very calm and easy-going, as if he was not afraid of wheel battles at all.

Shen Qiu shook her head in embarrassment: "I haven't challenged your strength yet. I will bother you when I get a certain badge. Thank you for letting me see a wonderful battle just now."

"What a polite little girl." Qianli took back her leave request, looked at Dairubi beside her, and nodded, "You have raised Dairubi very well... Since you are already here, so be it. , let me see how strong you are?"

Is this a mentoring battle?

Late Qiu's eyes suddenly widened and he immediately bowed: "Thank you very much!"

Qianli smiled, threw the elf ball, and an energetic hyperactive ape appeared on the field. It waved its powerful arms back and forth. It seemed to be different from the hyperactive ape that faced the challenger just now.

The hyperactive ape is the evolved form of the lazy man. It moves quickly and nimbly. It is also the only particularly hot-blooded and violent guy in its evolutionary chain.

This hyperkinetic ape is very strong, at least to the point of almost evolving.

However, her Dairubi is not weak either!

"Come on, Darubi - go and bring me victory!"
