[Pokemon] Late Autumn

Fuyan Town——

Fuyan Town is located at the foot of Yantu Mountain, with a hot climate, drought and little rain. This small town is not big, and most of them are businessmen and tourists who come here to do business, which makes the business in Fuyan Town very prosperous. There were many businessmen on the street shouting at passers-by, and the atmosphere was very lively. And further away is a large open-air hot spring, next to it is a sandy area, there are many people...

Wait, why are they lying in the sand?

Late Qiu stared at the distance for a long time, then stopped unconsciously.

"That's a sand bath. It's very popular here."

Seeing that Shen Qiu seemed to have never seen it before, Daigo smiled and explained to Shen Qiu.

Does it actually look like this? !

"Do you want to try it?"

Shen Qiu shook his head hesitantly: "I... I still want to challenge the gym first, and then try again after it's over."

"Alright."

In fact, compared to sand bathing, I would rather try the hot springs here in late autumn - Fuyan Town is famous for its hot springs. It is said that the hot springs here have the effect of curing all diseases. Coupled with the abundant sunshine, many people will choose this place as a relaxing vacation. Choice of two.

"It is too exaggerated to say that it can cure all diseases, but taking a proper soak does have some benefits to the body." Dawu added.

Okay, now that I've said that... Shen Qiu retracted her gaze from the hot spring and looked to the other side.

I heard that the snacks in Fuyan Town are really worth trying.

……

Dawu shook his head in a funny way, turned his head and found that Shenqiu had disappeared.

He immediately raised his head and looked around, only to find that at some point late autumn had slowly walked back from the food stall, and he had an extra piece of delicious food in his hand.

"This is the hot spring steamed bun I just bought. I heard it's super famous!" Shen Qiu narrowed her eyes in contentment, then picked up one of the pieces and handed it to Dawu's mouth.

Dawu subconsciously opened his mouth and bit it: "It tastes good."

Unexpectedly, there was filling inside. He tasted it carefully and found that it seemed to taste like cherry blossoms.

"I think I can try it." Late Qiu picked up another one and carefully studied the recipe of this hot spring steamed bun under the sun. "It has the smell of cherry blossoms inside, and the outside is made of flour and other things... It doesn't seem difficult. .”

She looked serious, as if she was studying some world problem.

But Dai Wu was stunned, as if he didn't react from Shen Qiu's actions just now. He couldn't help but stare at Shen Qiu for a moment, and then just smiled and shook his head.

He does look like a child now, and he looks quite cute when he is serious.

"Late Qiu." Xia Jiaben still had a serious face on the screen, but his face softened slightly after seeing Late Qiu. "It seems that you have been doing well recently."

"Yes, I'm sorry for your concern. I'm in Fuyan Town now, and everything is fine recently." Late Qiu smiled with crooked eyes, as if remembering something, he opened the Elf Ball of the Big Jaw Ant, "This is my new partner, Jaw ants.”

"Huh?" Xia Jia carefully looked at the mandible ant in Late Qiu's arms and commented very professionally, "Its final evolved desert dragonfly is indeed a dragon elf worth cultivating. Yes, judging from its mental state It can be seen that you take good care of this little one."

Before the giant jaw ant could respond, the young tooth dragon jumped out of the elf ball with a bang. It looked unconvinced and chattered something to Xia Jia on the screen. First, he pointed at himself, and then Pointing at the mandible ant, after finishing speaking, he quietly looked back at Shen Qiu, as if he was afraid that Shen Qiu would blame it.

Even Xia Jia couldn't help but curl his lips when he saw this scene: "This child is also very good. If he is trained well, he will definitely be no weaker than my double ax dragon in the future."

The young tooth dragon didn't seem to be afraid of Xia Jia's cold face at all. It looked proud, closed its eyes and patted its chest.

Late autumn:......

"It's really..." She hugged back the still-whispering young tooth dragon with a look of helplessness on her face, "Although you think highly of it, this little guy still has a long way to go."

However, Late Qiu did not expect that Mr. Xia Jia would be so optimistic about Young Tooth Dragon - you must know that Mr. Xia Jia's double ax dragon battle has been tempered, but it can rival the champion!

She also has to keep up with everyone else, otherwise her level is not good enough and she will hold her friends back.

"Late Qiu, you will experience a lot during your journey, but you still need to maintain a normal mind at all times." Xia Jia glanced at the mandible ants and young tooth dragons in Late Qiu's arms, and his tone was light, but the content made Shen Qiu whole. Startled, "I'm very optimistic about you."

"Yes! I will work hard!" Shen Qiu's eyes were firm.

Xia Jia nodded slightly, gave Shen Qiu a few more careful instructions, and then hung up the communication.

"Eh? I didn't expect Mr. Xia Jia to be so busy." Shenqiu sighed, "Not only are challengers coming to fight, but there are also trivial matters at Double Dragon Academy, plus work in Double Dragon City..."

She would never consider a job as a museum owner in the future. Late autumn thought secretly in her heart.

"I've been waiting for a long time." Dawu pushed open the door of the Elf Center and strode towards the direction of late autumn. He smiled apologetically, "I just received a call from the headquarters. There were a lot of things to explain at the moment... I'm sorry to keep you waiting. so long."

"No, no, no, it's just right." Shenqiu didn't care and raised a bright smile, "Let's go challenge the Fuyan Gym next. I'm fully prepared!"

After a week of intensive training on Yantu Mountain, the abilities of all her elves have been greatly improved.

The combined move "Hot Sand Hell" of Heiluga and the Giant Jaw Ant can directly roll up a storm of tens of meters, which is very scary; Heiluga's sludge bomb has also been practiced extremely proficiently, and it only needs actual combat training; Luka Leo learned the cannon light cannon and made rapid progress under the guidance of Metagross. The mandible ant and the young tooth dragon both helped each other and competed with each other. The two little guys refused to obey the other, and the victory and defeat in each battle were almost equally divided. The progress has also been great.

...I just feel sorry for Benbenyu, because the climate here is too hot and dry, and I can't find a suitable water area to let it out to play in late autumn. I can only quietly comfort the little guy who is having trouble with her in the elf ball, and agree to wait for the challenge. Immediately after finishing the Kamayan Gym, I took him to the hot springs.

The stupid fish just stayed in the elf ball obediently, planning to wait for it to come out and work hard to improve its own strength, so as not to let itself be a hindrance to its teammates.

It is strange to say that from the boss Hei Lujia to the newly joined Big Jaw Ant, everyone is a fighting maniac.

Yes, among her five elves, only Benbenyu is a girl. But I don’t know if he was affected, but he was also very keen on fighting.

Well...there's nothing wrong with that.

Just when Late Qiu was thinking about the order of battle, they had already arrived at the gate of Fuyan Gym. Looking around in late autumn, I was surprised to find that this gym was so new that it looked like it had just been renovated.

"Strange, that's not what I remember." Dawu raised his eyebrows.

"Maybe you want to change your style?"

The stone pavement at the door was spotless, the quaint door reflected golden light, and even the bushes not far away were neatly trimmed.

It does seem possible. Dawu was noncommittal.

Late Qiu knocked on the door: "Hello, is anyone here——"

Unfortunately, no one in the gym responded, and they could only hear the sound of water flowing from the hot spring next to them.

After a long time, no one came to open the door. Shenqiu had no choice but to sigh: "It seems that I came at the wrong time..."

"Ah - sorry sorry sorry -"

The person who came was a woman with beautiful appearance, full of vitality, and an aura like a flame. She came in a hurry and looked a little embarrassed.

"I'm so sorry to keep you waiting for so long! I am the gym leader Yasha! You are the challenger, welcome...ah no, you can persist here, hum, it seems you still have some strength." Yasha. Sha casually wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand. Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he changed his tone of voice unnaturally.

Wait, she said her name is Asha?

"Hello, my name is Shenqiu, and I'm here to challenge the Fuyan Gym." Shenqiu bowed slightly, then raised her head and looked at Yasha, who was much taller than her, with some confusion, "Sorry, I heard the name of the gym owner here is 'Mula', what on earth is this..."

"Hahaha, you are talking about my grandfather, and now I am taking over the gym." Yasha laughed, but it stopped suddenly. She coughed deliberately and put on a serious look: "Anyway, welcome You come to challenge my gym. Then, let me test your strength——"

After saying that, she threw the elf ball directly, and a menacing coal turtle appeared in front of Late Qiu.

Shen Qiu was stunned in place and didn't react for a long time.

It turns out...it turns out that the battle at Fuyan Gym starts directly outside the gym? ! No wonder no one came out to respond, it turned out to be such a special test!

Shen Qiu suddenly realized it and subconsciously took out the elf ball, but was interrupted by a slight cough.

Dawu held his forehead and knew at a glance that Shenqiu would be wrong. He had no choice but to remind him: "Miss Yasha, this is still outside. No matter how anxious you are, you should go back to the gym first."

After this, he finally understood. No wonder this place has changed so much. It turned out to be because Mulla resigned as the owner of the gym and handed over the Kamayan Gym to his granddaughter. But he didn't know that Mulla's granddaughter actually had such a personality. As a gym leader, this was a bit too out of the ordinary...

"Ah, oh... indeed..." Yasha's cheeks turned red all of a sudden, and she hurriedly took back her coal turtle, "Sorry! I, I'll take you to the gym first!"

Shen Qiu also realized that she was overthinking, and subconsciously glanced in Daigo's direction, receiving a smile full of eyes.

……

I didn't know which one of them was more outrageous.

Shen Qiu blinked, pretending to take the Poke Ball back naturally, and then immediately quickened her pace to follow Asha, as if nothing happened just now.

Daigo finally couldn't help laughing, shook his head, and followed their footsteps.

Following Yasha into the Fuyan Gym, Late Qiu discovered that it was an open-air gym, but the strange thing was that although the surroundings were very brand-new, the venue inside was somewhat bumpy.

Late Qiu took a closer look at the strange place here, and his expression became serious. This uneven ground is undoubtedly modeled after preparations for the league competition, and is used to evaluate the challenger's strength.

It turns out that this is the real test!

"I made you laugh. The challenger who came here just now dug holes too many times, so the field became like this. I'm very sorry." Yasha was a little surprised when she noticed that Late Autumn was staring at the pitted field here.

what……?

Late Qiu blinked blankly.

Why is she thinking too much again?

"It doesn't matter, let's fight like this. It's more interesting, isn't it?" Shen Qiu didn't mind.

"Oh? It's interesting, I think so too. However, it's not as easy as you think to challenge the Fuyan Gym...!" Yasha stood on the other side of the venue, waving her arm, bursting out with an inexplicable fiery momentum. , "This is the battlefield, come on! Challenger Late Autumn, bring out your elves!"

"But, there is no referee yet..." Shenqiu asked in a low voice.

"Ah, uh, this..." Yasha was stuck, her expression a little at a loss, and the blood that had been aroused seemed to have cooled down as if someone had poured cold water on it.

"Ahem, I am the referee." An old man wearing a strange wig and sunglasses suddenly walked in from the side door and deliberately lowered his voice. "I happened to pass by your gym here. I have been traveling as a referee for many years. , just in time to accumulate various experiences... let me witness this battle."

Dawu was stunned for a moment, and then he narrowed his eyes and looked at the person coming, his eyes were very complicated.

There was no other reason. Although this person was dressed very suspiciously, he immediately recognized this familiar voice. Isn't this the former head of the Fuyan Gym - Mu La?

Mulla was once one of the Four Heavenly Kings, but later resigned from his position as one of the Four Heavenly Kings for the sake of comfort and became the leader of the Fuyan Gym. Unexpectedly, within a few years, even the position of the gym leader was passed on to his granddaughter.

How could a good gym leader change his appearance and become the referee of his own gym? Dawu was puzzled.

At this time, Mulla was even more confused.

He took advantage of his sunglasses and glanced at Daigo several times. He didn't understand why the champion appeared in his small gym without saying a word or stayed with a strange challenger.

Although he didn't know the reason, Mulla still snorted and glared at Yasha with hatred.

As the owner of the gym, he was so careless that he didn't even recognize the champion. It was really inappropriate!

"Although I don't know who you are, thank you very much." Yasha didn't seem to recognize that the stranger pretending to be a referee next to her was her grandfather. She breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Shen Qiu again, "This time No problem, let’s start the passionate battle!”

"Come on, Mag!"

A lava bug appeared on the battlefield that was full of energy and whose body flames were burning extremely vigorously.

"Young Tooth Dragon, I leave it to you!" Shenqiu also threw his elf ball.

Shenqiu and Yasha looked at each other, and the moment their eyes came into contact, two pairs of similar red eyes were filled with fighting intent, and the battle was about to break out!
