Chapter 829: Surprising Outdoor Battlefield

Xiaoyao won the Giruba Gorgeous Competition and also received her second ribbon medal in the Kanto region.

For Xia You, whether he was traveling with Nancy, Lijia, or Xiaoxia in the past, his main focus was on his own adventures, and these people revolved around him. But now, with Xiaoyao by his side, he has to attend such grand conferences frequently, which seems to be a waste of time for his personal travel.

But in fact, Xia You is very happy to participate like this from the perspective of an audience member. It can give him different insights and improve his mentality. He can also learn many different things from these coordination trainers.

It can be said that although he had nothing to do, it was both a rest and a relaxation.

It's a combination of work and rest.

As for Ogata, who was defeated by Xiaoyao, he returned to his honest image after the game and left the venue with a slightly lonely back.

Although he failed to win the competition and seemingly failed to fulfill his dream, at least he gained recognition from his family, which was a great gain.

Maybe because of this, I will continue to meet him at other conferences!

But that is all a matter for the future. Now, after winning the victory, Xia You and Xiao Yao should continue their journey.

Because the boat tickets were bought in advance yesterday, after leaving the conference venue, the two did not return to the Pokémon Center, but waited at the dock for a while, took a small passenger ferry, and left the Kanto continent.

Just as they had planned before, the destination this time was the metal island with the battle palace not far from Honglian Island!

However, getting there is not something that can be done in just a few hours. It also requires a long journey sailing on complex sea routes.

The three-story passenger ship slowly sailed away from the dock.

After leaving Jiluba Town, we had only sailed for more than an hour when we saw Kuye City in the distance. However, the sightseeing boat did not stay here. Instead, it left the near sea and reached the open sea when the sun set.

The scenery of the distant sea is not much different from that of the near sea, except that the water is bluer, the air is more humid and salty, and there are no continuous continents around, but only small islands.

The novelty of going out to sea disappeared in an instant, and the tourists no longer paid attention to the unchanging sea, but instead went about their own business.

Although the ship is small, a battle is inevitable.

Two little boys, no more than 10 years old, were commanding their respective Pokémon on the deck and enjoying the fight. Such an immature battle attracted several adults to stop and watch.

Xia You didn't even think of taking a look. She just lay on the lounge chair, feeling the last sea breeze before sunset.

Xiaoyao sat next to him, browsing the map and chatting with Xia You.

A group of barracudas swam from somewhere unknown sea, jumped out of the sea and accompanied the passenger ship. At this moment, someone suddenly shouted.

"It's Lugia!"

Just one shout attracted the attention of most people. They all gathered in front of the guardrail on one side and looked out to the sea in the distance.

Sure enough, a silver shadow was seen passing by under the sea, but because it was semi-submerged in the water, although it looked very similar, it remained to be seen whether it was Lugia.

But this has already made people excited.

While feeling lucky, the tourists took out their mobile phones and captured the scene.

Xiaoyao also went to take a few looks, and when she came back, she saw Xia You still lying on the recliner, without even blinking, looking indifferent, and she couldn't help but laugh.

"Brother Xia You." She sat next to him and asked quietly, "Have you seen Lugia when you were traveling in Kanto and Johto before?"

"Of course I have seen it, and I've even seen more than one." Xia You's tone remained unchanged, as if the legendary Pokémon like Lugia could no longer arouse his interest. "It's just a big water bird. It's just like that after seeing it many times. It's no big deal."

Obviously, he has become Versailles.

But who can blame him for having the capital?

After nightfall, a strong wind suddenly blew, causing the waves to surge and the passenger ship to shake constantly.

Such a strong wind makes people doubt whether the boat can withstand it, but for people like Xia You who travel frequently, it can help them sleep better.

After staying on the boat for one night, Xia You and Xiao Yao arrived at their destination early the next morning.

From a distance, there is nothing special about the Metal Island. It looks like a large island with lush greenery.

Xia You didn't know how the name Metal Island came about. Was it because it was rich in metal ores? Or was it because it was inhabited by a large number of Pokémon as hard as metal?

He didn't know any of this, and he didn't find any information on the map, but it didn't matter. He was just here to challenge the frontier. So what if he didn't know this?

I got off the boat in a tiny town and had just walked out of the dock when the passenger ship behind me had already left.

Without the noisy whistle, the surroundings suddenly became quiet, making people feel as if they were in a huge primeval forest isolated from the world.

Perhaps apart from the occasional trainer who came here to challenge, few people set foot here. Even the small town seemed deserted. After taking a short rest at the Pokémon Center outside the town, the two headed towards the mysterious battle palace according to the direction on the map.

But this journey was not as smooth as they imagined.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!

The entire Metal Island is almost covered by dense forests, which makes the island full of various wild Pokémon. Perhaps because there are few people disturbing them, these Pokémon have a strong sense of territory. Xia You and Xiao Yao were attacked several times when they were just passing by.

Especially the giant hornets here, which were numerous and had a strong desire to attack, and they entangled them for a long time.

There was no other choice, Xia You could only release his Giant Mantis and Dragonite. With their escort, he finally reached the battle palace smoothly.

However, rather than calling it a palace, it would be more appropriate to describe it as a ruin.

In the forest, there is an exotic-style high tower building made of piled-up flat stones. Looking closely, the stone steps, stones, stone walls and stone walls are covered with moss, and some places are damaged. I don’t know how many years it has existed and why it was built here in the first place.

It seems that this was obviously not funded by Yashida. Perhaps it has a lot to do with the inheritance of the pioneering brain here itself.

The two had just walked up the steps and had not yet entered the ruins when an old man in his seventies or eighties, with a round bald head, white eyebrows, white beard, a bare upper body, strange patterns tattooed on his arms, and a scepter in his hand, walked out of the ruins.

"A new challenger has arrived. Welcome."

Although he looks very old, the old man is in good spirits. Not only does he move freely, but his voice is also loud. Especially his bald head, which actually emits a bright light under the sunlight!

This signature attire also allowed Xia You to recognize the old man's identity at a glance. He was the brains behind the development of this battle palace - Yu Jin!

However, Xia You only knew his name. He had no idea what Pokémon he had or what his fighting style was.

"I guess you are Mr. Yu Jin." Since this pioneering brain has pointed out his purpose, Xia You went straight to the point, "My name is Xia You, just like you said, I am indeed here to challenge this battle palace."

"People are willing to brave the wind and waves to cross the sea, so they come here for this very purpose." Yu Jin smiled, "I am Yu Jin. Every time I see a young person like you who has a sharp vision and vigor, I can't help but feel that our Pokémon trainers have successors."

However, after just a few simple conversations, Xia You felt the care of an elder for a young person from Yu Jin, which was consistent with the feeling Yu Jin gave Xia You. In a word, this was an old man who was not only wise, but also very generous!

Looking up at the sky, it was sunny and it was a rare good day. Yu Jin smiled at Xia You and said, "From your eyes, I can sense your confidence. That's good. I will use all my strength to meet your challenge. However, compared to indoors, today is a sunny day. Do you want to fight outside?"

coming!

Although Yu Jin was asking, it could be seen from his tone that this battle would inevitably take place outdoors.

And because he had watched the anime and had a deep memory of it, he also knew that outdoor battles were the real test for this battle palace!

But that's just right.

I was worried that the game was not difficult enough. Compared with boring indoor battles, the interesting and novel new mode can arouse my interest better!

"Of course." Xia You nodded without any hesitation, "The air on this island is very good, and the smell of nature is very rich. I also want to breathe more fresh air here!"

Seeing Xia You agreed, Yu Jin smiled and didn't say much. Instead, he took the scepter in his hand and led the way, taking them out of the battle palace.

At first, Xiaoyao thought that the outdoor battle that Yu Jin mentioned was held in the open space near the palace, but as Yu Jin walked farther and farther, she slowly discovered that something was wrong.

She took a few quick steps and approached Xia You. She whispered, "We've been walking for more than ten minutes. Brother Xia You, where do you think he will take us?"

"Who knows." Xia You shrugged and made a little joke, "Anyway, they won't take me away from this island."

After leaving the battle palace and passing through a forest, the slope under their feet suddenly became higher. By the time Xiaoyao realized this, the three of them had already reached the top of a mountain that was not too high.

When they reached the top of the mountain and stood there, they could see the surrounding scenery at a glance, and at the same time they could finally see the entire picture of the battle palace.

Although it is the full view, most of it is blocked by trees and vegetation, and only an outline can be seen.

Xiaoyao took a deep breath and looked around again.

The small hill at her feet seemed to have been cut in half by some force, either by humans or Pokémon, and turned into a flat ground, which was then built into a simple battlefield. Standing here, the cool sea breeze blew over, and even though the sun was shining brightly, she could still feel a slight chill.

So this is what is called the outdoors...

It’s really far away!

But then again, this Yujin grandpa has really good physical strength...

Brother Xia You and I were able to climb such a high mountain because we were young and traveled frequently, so we were already well-trained. But this Grandpa Yu Jin, at such an old age, was able to climb up without getting red in the face or out of breath. He was really amazing!

But what surprised Xiaoyao even more was obviously yet to come.

Yu Jin pointed here, then pointed to the coastline in the distance, and then pointed to a winding river on the other side, and said to Xia You: "The battlefield under our feet is where it starts, and the coastline to the river on the other side, and the entire huge forest, are the venues for this outdoor battle."

"Eh?" Hearing this, Xiaoyao couldn't help but say, "This is all!?"

It's no wonder that she was so impatient, because the area covered by Yu Jin's two fingers was really too large!

Judging from the visual, it occupies at least one-third of the entire metal island!

"Yes, all of them."

Nodding to Xiaoyao, Yu Jin's gaze fell on Xia You again, and he couldn't help but reveal a sense of admiration.

The young man in front of him had been calm from beginning to end. Even when he saw the battlefield he had mentioned, his expression did not change at all. Compared with the previous challengers, this was truly impressive!

Xia You naturally didn't know that her calm face left a deep impression on Yu Jin.

After he glanced at the location Yu Jin pointed to and memorized it in his mind, he just nodded indifferently.

To him, this was no big deal. It was just that the venue was a little bigger and the terrain was a little more complicated. After all, when he fought against those legendary Pokémon before, which one was not a battle with the sky as the roof and the ground as the battlefield? How could he be shocked by such a scale?

After explaining the venue, Yu Jin talked about the rules of the game.

"The battle here adopts a three-on-three elimination mode. As long as you defeat all three of my Pokémon, you will win. Of course, you can change Pokémon at will during the game and choose a lineup that is beneficial to you."

The battlefield is there and the rules have been announced, but there are still some things Xiaoyao doesn’t understand.

Seeing that Xia You didn't say anything, she asked, "Um... Grandpa Yujin, I want to ask, in such a large battlefield, we are standing here, and as the battle progresses, we will easily lose sight of the Pokémon, so how can we determine the winner?"

Yu Jin laughed, and with a wave of his hand, a small robot aircraft that could hover in the air appeared in front of Xiaoyao.

"Don't worry, this is the referee robot of the Battle Palace. With its camera, no matter where the Pokémon go, we can always keep track of their status!"
