The soul penetrates Xiaozhi and destroys Gou Hao at the beginning

But now that things have come to this, I have no choice but to accept it.

"Circle Bear, use the arm hammer."

"Come on, Flame Monkey. It's just a shrinking state. How can you let it hold you back?

Today, you are the Monkey King who created the black myth, how can you lose to this black bear monster in front of you?" Xiaozhi shouted.

Hearing this, Infernape instantly woke up and got rid of its cowering state.

"Very good, Infernape, dodge and then use close combat."

Infernape quickly dodged the arm hammer from the Circle Bear, and counterattacked with a close combat punch, which was very effective.

Euler, Euler, Euler, Euler!

Infernape's fist hit the circle on Circle Bear's belly so hard that Circle Bear's lunch was almost knocked out, and he fell to the ground and couldn't get up.

"Longhorn has lost his ability to fight, and Infernape wins. Since Satoshi was the first to win two games, he is the winner." Brock announced.

"Well, we won, well done, Flame Monkey."

"Enough!"

"Come back, Circle Bear,

I lost this battle, I will challenge again."

After saying that, Shinji put on his bag and left.

Xiaozhi and his crew continued their journey, and a few days later, they finally arrived in Nohara City.

Nohara City is a city located in the southeastern part of the Sinnoh region, and is known as the "city with the Great Wetlands".

Nohara City is a small town that was originally formed to protect the vast wetlands in the area. It has abundant water resources.

The hunting grounds of the Sinnoh region are here.

Nohara City is on the edge of a huge wetland called the Great Wetland.

Wetlands were once part of the sea and the water was drained to form land.

There are many rare Pokémon that can only be found in wet areas.

The large wetlands keep the climate very cool in summer, making it an ideal place for water-type Pokémon to live.

Since Frog can only be found in Nohara City, he became the official mascot of this place.

As soon as he arrived in Nohara City, Xiaozhi couldn't wait to go to the Nohara Gym, wanting to have a gym match.

As the group arrived at the gym entrance, they ran into Yoshiken, the gym trainer of the Nohara Gym.

Yoshiken, also known as "The Masked Man of the Rolling Flow" or "The Masked Man of Yoshiken",

He is friendly, lively, energetic, talkative, very conceited, and a little forgetful.

He likes to call himself "Uncle Ben". As a professional wrestler, he also loves to enjoy the atmosphere of intense battles and says that fighting should not be taken too seriously.

Ji Xian is a generous person. He will use the prize money he wins in battles to help the poor.

Jixian was wearing a blue mask, but it didn't look like a mask.

Because there are only three straps on the front, and the eyes, nose, mouth, and ears are all exposed. What kind of mask is this?

Other people's masks only reveal the eyes, mouth and two nostrils, and the rest of the face is covered.

To put it bluntly, it looks a bit like a blue thong on your face.

Jixian's upper body was bare, with a pair of wrist guards on his hands, and a set of wrestler's pants and shoes on his lower body.

He is clearly dressed as a wrestler, but he doesn't play a Fighting-type Pokémon, but a Water-type Pokémon.

Now he looks like he is going out, and he is wearing a windbreaker.

"You must be Mr. Yoshiken, the gym trainer of the Nohara Gym. I'm Xiaozhi from Pallet Town. Please join me in the gym competition." Xiaozhi walked forward and said.

"Oh, young man, you have a good eye. Yes, I am the gym trainer of Nohara Gym. My name is Yoshihiro.

Sorry, I can't fight you today because I have something important to do."

"what."

"Otherwise, how about the rest of you come with me? Don't hesitate, just come along, and you'll know when you come, hahahahahaha."

"No, no, I have important things to do." Xiaozhi quickly waved his hand to refuse.

But Xiaogang and Xiaoguang seemed very interested and were pulled along by Jixian.

Looking at the backs of the people walking away, Xiaozhi could only pray for good luck for Xiaoguang and Xiaogang in his heart.

As a time traveler, Xiaozhi certainly knew what Jixian was going to do.

He was going to participate in a local traditional event, the Bad Frog Festival.

The name of this activity sounds particularly weird, and it’s actually even weirder.

Because the bad frog is regarded as the patron saint of the wetlands in Nohara City, it has always been revered and worshipped by people, and almost every family in Nohara City raises a bad frog.

So every year, the people here hold a Bad Frog Festival in the wetlands, where all the bad frogs that everyone has carefully cultivated gather together, and then select the annual champion. The winning bad frog will receive a red crown inlaid with diamonds and pearls.

However, the right to use it is only for one year. When the festival is held the following year, the crown will be taken back and awarded to the new winner.

So if you want to keep the crown, you have to defend the title and win every year.

At the festival site, a huge stone statue of the Bad Frog was built, and a food street was set up. Everyone had something related to the Bad Frog on them, set off fireworks with the Bad Frog pattern, and ate cookies and various foods in the shape of the Bad Frog.

The most bizarre thing is the competition at the Bad Frog Festival, which is set up just like a gorgeous competition with three judges.

One is the chairman of the judging committee, Yoshiken, one is Miss Joy from Nohara City, and the other is an old man named Stationmaster Masuki.

The gorgeous contest is a performance by various beautiful and handsome Pokémon.

It’s fine that there’s only one bad frog in this one, but in the first round of examination, each bad frog takes turns to go on stage and participate in the beauty pageant!

A Pokémon like Frog is so ugly, and yet there is a beauty pageant. It's just like choosing a less smelly one from a pile of rotten eggs.

Even though each of the bad frogs looked exactly the same and were standing still, the audience and three judges were able to tell which one was the best.

It's so weird.

The worst thing is that in the original animation, Team Rocket let Meowth pretend to be Frog and go on stage. It was obviously fake at first glance, but this group of people not only didn't recognize it, but gave it super high praise.

When did your eyes go blind?

Then the second round of review is a brick-splitting competition, and the bad frog who splits the most bricks wins.

The bad frog that gets the most chops can challenge last year's winner, and the winner will become the new winner.

Xiao Zhiba had no choice but to go to this weird festival competition.

Compared to this, Xiaozhi is more interested in the hunting area here in Nohara City.
