Pokémon Showdown: Silver Peak

Chapter 189 Grapefruit Island

After leaving Asia Island, Xiaozhi and his party did not dare to delay and accelerated their pace. Hanako's mother gave them an ultimatum, giving them only one month to return quickly from the Orange Islands. At the same time, Xiao Mao, who had already gone to Chengdu, was also urging them to set off as soon as possible.

After resting on Little Orange Island, they took a liaison ship and sailed directly to Yuzu Island, where the third gym was located.

"Look, that's Yuzu Island." Xiaojian pointed forward excitedly, his eyes twinkling, "Can you see those towering rocks? The nearby eddies are quite turbulent."

"What kind of person will the trainer of Yuzu Gym be like?" Xiaoxia was full of expectations.

"No matter who he is, I will challenge him." Xiaozhi curled his lips, full of confidence.

Suddenly, Pikachu pointed to the whirlpool ahead. "There's a girl drowning there, and there's a little sea lion!" Xiao Jian exclaimed.

Ma Li, a trainer at Yuzu Gym, was looking for her sister and happened to see this scene through a telescope. At this time, Xiaoxia jumped into the sea without hesitation and swam towards the drowning girl. As the trainer of Hualan Gym, Xiaoxia's swimming skills are undoubtedly top-notch, and it is not an exaggeration to be praised as the mermaid princess.

"Chenglong, come out!" Xiaozhi summoned Chenglong and rushed towards the two of them to support them. With the help of Xiaozhi's Chenglong, Xiaoxia successfully picked up the little girl and was brought safely back to the ship.

"It's so admirable." The young man looked at his rescued sister, his eyes deeply fixed on Xiaoxia, and his gratitude was beyond words.

Xiaozhi looked forward, with a trace of doubt in his heart: It was obviously a joint achievement of two people, why do they always ignore me?

In this tranquil sea, riding a dragon and moving forward leisurely, Xiaozhi, Xiaoxia and the rescued little sister Ma Li moved steadily towards Yuzi Island. The sea breeze blew, bringing a little bit of coolness.

Meanwhile, the Rockets are as energetic as ever. Today they were still riding Magikarp Submarine, following Ash's footsteps. Musashi's eyes flashed with a cunning light, and he issued an order: "Find the target, the little devil is in front, move forward at full speed!"

However, fate seems to be against them. Kojiro and Meowth tried their best to drive the submarine, but were sucked into the powerful spiral current. "Could it be..." Miao Miao guessed as her mouth twitched. Musashi said helplessly: "It seems that it is the power of the ocean current, we are trapped." Rocket Three Silly couldn't help but wail repeatedly.

In such a predicament, Xiaozhi and the others successfully landed on Yuzu Island. Xiaozhi asked Ma Li with concern: "Little girl, it was really dangerous just now. Why did you appear there?" With a trace of panic in Ma Li's eyes, her cute little face replied seriously: "I was playing with the little sea lion and accidentally Washed away by the sea." Xiaoxia reminded her gently: "Be careful in the future, the sea is very dangerous."

At this time, Ma Li's brother hurried over with several disciples. Seeing that his sister was safe and sound, the young man went up to her excitedly and hugged her tightly: "Great, I finally found you!" Then, he turned to Xiaozhi and the others, his eyes filled with gratitude: "Thank you very much, I don't know how to express my gratitude." Xiaozhi shrugged casually: "It's just a help, no special thanks."

Then, the young man walked up to Xiaoxia gracefully and said affectionately: "Hello, this beautiful lady, your beauty is like a bright star. How can I address you respectfully?"

Xiaoxia was slightly embarrassed and smiled politely: "I am Xiaoxia."

The young man answered happily and snapped his fingers in an elegant manner, "It is truly an honor for me to meet you."

Immediately, his four followers immediately presented four bouquets of flowers with their own characteristics, which were bright and eye-catching.

"Wow..." Xiaoxia had never experienced such a scene before, and she couldn't help but feel a little carried away.

The young man gave an order, "Play music!" Immediately, a subordinate appeared with a tape recorder, and the music started playing.

Then, he invited Xiaoxia to dance like a gentleman, "Miss Xiaoxia, you are an excellent dancer, how about dancing with me?" He took Xiaoxia's hand, and the two danced intoxicatedly.

Xiaozhi watched from the side and complained helplessly: "Ma Li, has your brother always been so... passionate and unrestrained? It seems a bit too direct."

During the dance, the young man introduced himself: "Miss Xiaoxia, I am the gym trainer of Yuzi Gym, my name is Ayi. I heard that you are good at water Pokémon and your skills are extraordinary. I wonder if you can stay here for a while and help us. Can the gym’s trainers give you some advice?”

Xiaoxia was a little confused, "Your gym?"

Ayi smiled and replied: "Yes, it is the Yuzi Gym that I belong to. And you, Miss Xiaoxia, are not only beautiful, but also have excellent dancing talent."

Xiaozhi couldn't help but sigh: "Oh, it's really..."

Ma Li looked at Xiaozhi, a trace of helplessness flashed in her eyes: "Brother, it's really rude for you to speak like this."

Ayi was quite dissatisfied with Xiaozhi's words. He turned around and said provocatively in his tone: "Hmph, it's rare that I have the opportunity to dance with a beautiful woman. You guys are so ignorant!"

When Xiaozhi faced Ayi's provocation, he didn't take it seriously: "Tsk, Xiaoxia is a good girl, and not just anyone can get close to her. If you want to attract her attention, at least you have to be better than me." He said while As he said this, he pulled Xiaoxia to his side, acting like a protector.

Ayi looked at Xiaozhi and sneered at the corner of his mouth: "What, you want to duel with me? Do you have the qualifications?"

Xiaozhi responded nonchalantly: "The owners of these two badges were as confident as you at the beginning." He showed the two badges in his clothes.

A trace of surprise flashed in A Yi's eyes, and then he spread his palms to express his welcome to the challenge: "I see, since someone challenges me, of course I welcome it. However, you must first accept the test of my unique skills."

Xiaozhi shrugged, looking indifferent: "Okay, I have no objection."

Ma Li interjected playfully: "Come on, Xiaozhi. But I have to tell you in advance, it is impossible to win against my brother."

Xiaozhi rubbed Ma Li's head and said with a smile: "I know, little girl. If your brother loses, don't cry."

So, Xiaozhi, Xiaoxia and Ma Li boarded a speedboat together and began an exciting adventure. They set off in the waterway of a small island with an unknown destination.

Ayi explained the rules: "If your Pokémon can hit all the targets that jump out with its special move, I will admit that you are indeed capable."

Xiaozhi pressed the brim of his hat confidently and responded: "Let's get started."

As the first target appeared, the atmosphere instantly became tense. Ash ordered: "Pikachu, use one hundred thousand volts!" Pikachu suddenly shot a bolt of thunder and hit the target accurately.

"Well done."

Suddenly, Xiaozhi's body swayed, and it turned out that Ayi was holding flowers to show his courtesy to Xiaoxia: "Xiaoxia, you are so beautiful."

"It's really unbearable." Xiaozhi's mouth twitched, and his eyes almost rolled to the sky.

At this moment, the second target automatically popped up.

"Flying Mantis, use high-speed movement!" Xiaozhi raised a smirk on his lips and pointed at the bouquet in Yi's hand. The flying mantis teleported to the target, slashed it with a knife, then turned around suddenly and swung an emerald-green crescent wave. In an instant, the bouquet in A Yi's hand was split into two pieces.

The flying mantis returned to the elf ball vigorously.

"Oops, my hand slipped." Xiaozhi pretended to be relaxed, whistled, and looked up at the sky.

At the same time, the Rocket Three were swept away by the current and ended up in the river on the island.

"Huh? Is there someone?" The three of them were horrified, and then, a target stood in front of them.

"Xiao Zhi, we have a new goal!" Xiao Jian reminded.

"I know, Gotha Duck, use the water gun to attack!" Xiaozhi quickly ordered.

"Crack!" Gotha Duck fired the water gun with all his strength, and the powerful water flow rushed Team Rocket and the target high into the sky.

"Why is it like this again! This feeling is really unacceptable!" The Rockets three idiots soared into the sky again...

"Did you hear any strange noises?

"Well, forget about that." Xiaozhi smiled and shook his head, trying to change the topic.

After an intense adventure, Yi sent his companions led by Xiaozhi to the Pokémon Center on the island. There, he said with a serious look: "Through previous exchanges, I understand that you do have extraordinary strength and have undergone rigorous training."

He paused and continued: "Tomorrow's gym competition, I will send Pokémon that match your attributes to fight. We will have three one-on-one duels. This must be clear."

Xiaozhi's eyes flashed with determination, and he responded decisively: "No problem, let's use electric, water, and insect type Pokémon to compete."

Later, Ayi politely invited Xiaoxia to have dinner: "Miss Xiaoxia, I wonder if I can have the honor to invite you to have dinner with me?" Xiaoxia heard the temptation of delicious food and the warm invitation of her companion Ma Li, so Gladly accepted.

Looking at Xiaozhi pointing at him, a trace of expectation flashed in his eyes, Ayi chuckled: "Xiaozhi, although you are our savior, tonight, I'm afraid I can only temporarily wrong you and your friend Xiaojian. . The gym competition is coming, and you also need to prepare for the upcoming challenges." Xiao Jian also comforted Xiao Zhi with a smile.

Although Xiaozhi was a little unwilling, he had no choice but to accept the reality. So he and his friends simply settled the dinner problem at the Pokémon Center and chose delicious burgers to satisfy their hunger. After all, the gym competition is tomorrow, and they also need to reserve their energy to face the challenge. As the night falls, they each prepare for the new day ahead and the upcoming gym competition.
