Chapter 946: I think I'm a little too confident

Entering the battle field full of green plants, Vegetable Soup stood directly in the trainer command area on one side.

Opposite her, Xia You also walked to the other side.

The two people looked at each other across the grass, bushes and several big trees, their bodies shrouded by the shadows of the trees, as if they were in nature.

Seeing Xia You standing still, Cai Zhong looked up at the sunlight shining from the transparent dome and couldn't help but smile: "It seems that today is a good day for fighting. So, let's get down to business!"

Hearing her words, Xia You also looked up at the ceiling and looked at the huge sun outside the transparent dome.

A sunny day has always been the favorite weather for Grass-type Pokémon.

Even though he didn't have many Grass-type Pokémon, as the owner of Venusaur, he knew that some Grass-type Pokémon would be enhanced in the sun, so he naturally understood the hidden meaning in Naruto's words.

Isn't it just that the cooldown of moves is halved and their power is greatly increased in the sun?

But he didn't care about it.

After all, the stronger the enemy, the stronger I am. The harder the battle, the more interesting it is!

At this time, a female staff member wearing large round-frame glasses, a purple sportswear, and long twin ponytails walked to the referee area next to the battlefield.

She said loudly, "I am Rongzi, and I will be the referee of this competition!"

After a pause, the woman named Rongzi continued, "The gym challenge between challenger Xia You and Bai Dai gym leader Nazhong will now begin. Three Pokémon can be used in this battle. When all three Pokémon of either side are unable to fight, the match is considered over. In addition, only the challenger can change Pokémon during the battle!"

Such rules can be said to be the most basic and normal general rules.

Even after listening to only the first few words, Xia You could guess what would be said next, and he had already reached the point where he could recite it by heart.

But there is no way, this is a necessary procedure. For veterans like Xia You, even though his ears are already callused from hearing it, but for those new trainers, this is a very important reminder.

Just as Rongzi was announcing the rules, Xiaoyao and Yami had already walked to the spectator seats and found a seat to sit down.

Just as he sat down, Xiaoyao looked at Yami, who was also a trainer beside him, and asked in confusion: "Ms. Yami, now that you are here, don't you want to challenge the gym?"

Ya Mi actually thought about it seriously!

"Well, this is indeed a rare opportunity. After Mr. Xia You finishes the fight, I'll go up and give it a try."

Hearing her answer, Xiaoyao couldn't help but feel ashamed.

Why does it feel like I'm forcing her?

I've been traveling for so long, but I've never seen such a go-with-the-flow trainer who isn't even keen on challenging gyms!

This is still a trainer!

In the field, seeing that both sides were ready, Rongzi raised his hands at the same time and signaled to both sides: "Then, the game begins now!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Caizhong, the gym keeper, took out a Poké Ball.

As she threw the Poké Ball high up, the next second, a Pokémon that looked like two cherries connected together appeared on the battlefield.

This Pokémon is no more than 40 cm tall, with two plump and round red bodies, one large and one small. Each of them has eyes and a mouth, and is connected by a huge green leaf. It looks like a bunch of real cherries.

Xiaoyao also took out the Pokémon encyclopedia at the right time and scanned it.

The upgraded Pokémon encyclopedia also immediately gave feedback: "Ding, Sakura, a cherry Pokémon with a grass attribute. According to scholars' observations, this Pokémon's body will slowly turn redder under the sun. Although it is connected to another small fruit through the rhizome, it is actually just a place for Sakura to store nutrients. Almost all the nutrients it needs to evolve are stored in the small fruit. It is not only nutritious but also delicious. It is also the favorite of bird Pokémon. If the small fruit shrivels, it means that Sakura is about to evolve."

Because it was far away, the sound of the Pokémon Encyclopedia naturally reached Xia You's ears.

To be honest, he really didn't know much about this Pokémon.

Although he often flipped through the Pokémon encyclopedia in his spare time, looked up information about these Pokémon, did some preparatory work, and enriched his knowledge, but even so, perhaps because Sakura was too unpopular and few trainers used it, or perhaps he would never capture it, whenever he saw these Pokémon, he would just glance over them.

This also makes him lack sufficient understanding of Sakura Pokémon, which is not as profound as other Pokémon.

Even when I was playing games before, I had never conquered it.

But it doesn't hurt.

After all, it is a Grass-type Pokémon. The things that need to be paid attention to about Grass-type Pokémon are basically the same as those for Sakura Pokémon. As long as you can perform normally, it will be fine.

As for who should be sent on stage...

Before making a decision, Xia You took a final look at the battlefield.

Although there are a lot of green plants planted, it can be seen that the vegetable seeds have tried their best to make this place very symmetrical.

For example, on this side, there are four huge trees planted behind me. The branches of these trees are connected, and there are dense shrubs in the middle, and an open grassland in front. Looking at the side where the vegetable seeds are located, it is the same arrangement, and even the types of shrubs and the planting positions of green plants are almost exactly the same as on my side.

This design can ensure the consistency of the venues for both parties and achieve fairness as much as possible.

You're quite thoughtful...

With a sigh, Xia You also took out a Poké Ball from his waist bag and released his Pokémon to participate in the battle.

As the blue light flashed, the next second, his Bubble Frog appeared on the battlefield.

Looking at this frog-like Pokémon that was obviously of water attribute, both Naizhong and Yami raised their eyebrows in surprise.

Use a water-type Pokémon to defeat a grass-type Pokémon with its reverse attributes?

What does it mean?

In the stands, turning to look at Xiaoyao, Caizhong couldn't help but wonder: "Xiaoyao, this Pokémon is obviously restrained, but why did Mr. Xia You send this Pokémon to play? Isn't there a more powerful Pokémon?"

"Didn't you see it last night?" Xiaoyao laughed, and this smile was becoming more and more similar to Xia You's. "Brother Xia You is now honing a new lineup, so there are not many Pokémon to choose from. It's just that the order of appearance is different. And regardless of whether there is an attribute restraint or not, with his personality, he doesn't care."

Caizhong obviously didn't know that he was being used as a whetstone, so when he saw the man in front of him send out a water-type Pokémon, he was surprised, but he just thought that the man was very confident in his Pokémon.

Because of this thought, she put one hand on her waist and couldn't help but smile at Xia You: "Your Pokémon's attributes are unfavorable. Although I don't know what you are planning, I don't want to take advantage of you. This time, I will let you attack first!"

After she finished speaking, it turned out to be just as she said. The man and the Pokémon stood there motionless, waiting for Xia You and Frog to take the initiative!

Xia You couldn't remember the last time someone gave in to her.

After I became famous, who among those who knew me would not treat me with caution and send out their strongest Pokémon in an attempt to defeat me with all their might?

Only those who are completely ignorant would have such thoughts.

You know what, this feeling is quite novel.

But in fact, from an outsider's perspective, this is also very normal. After all, the attribute restraint is here, and no matter how you look at it, the Bubble Frog is in a very elementary form.

But since the other party said so, it is after all a gym owner's Pokémon, which is not comparable to those trainers on the street. Therefore, Xia You did not bother to be polite with her and directly commanded his Frog to attack Sakura.

The Bubble Frog was seen running and jumping, approaching Sakura Bao quickly. When it was in the attack range, it reached back, grabbed a handful of foam and threw it at Sakura Bao.

This time, it can be said to be fast and accurate. A large ball of white foam drew an arc in the air and rushed towards Sakurabao's face.

Although Grass-type Pokémon are not afraid of Water-type attacks, such bubble attacks, in addition to causing limited damage, can also block vision if not careful, thus achieving strategic goals. Therefore, although Nasty did not order a counterattack, she still let her Pokémon dodge.

Sakurabao moved its two foot-like protrusions a few times and nimbly avoided the bubble.

But little did he know that Xia You's attack was just a test. Now that he saw Sakura Bao taking action, he had achieved his goal.

It has strong jumping ability and is very fast, but considering its body structure, such a speed is unreasonable. Combined with the sunlight above its head, it can be preliminarily determined that it possesses the characteristic of chlorophyll.

The thought formed in Xia You's mind almost instantly!

In fact, he was good at using his brain rather than direct combat, not to mention that he had been traveling for so long and had fought against various enemies, so he had gained a lot of experience. Therefore, he could roughly analyze the information with just a glance.

As a major characteristic of Grass-type Pokémon, the ability of chlorophyll will double the speed of Pokémon with this characteristic on sunny days!

This also explains why this Sakura baby has such a speed with such a body structure!

And thinking about what Cai Zhong said just before the war, it is not difficult to understand why she mentioned the weather!

They really echo each other.

but……

Maybe this would be a little tricky for others, but Xia You's Bubble Frog is also very good at jumping, which gives it the capital to fight with Sakura Bao.

Under Xia You's command, the quack frog immediately followed and approached Sakura Bao again.

And just as Cai Zhong said just now, he did not fight back immediately, but let the Frog attack him again before commanding Sakura Bao to fight back.

But as soon as she made a move, she increased Xia You's strength.

Under her command, Sakura Bao actually used the powerful move of Sun Beam!

From this we can see that this Sakura baby is not only fast, but can also use powerful moves such as Solar Beam. Its level is definitely not low!

And thanks to the strong sunlight overhead, this beam of sunlight hardly requires any charging and can be used directly. Just one breath later, the thick column of energy has shot straight at the Bubble Frog!

The combination of sunlight beam and chlorophyll is a double enhancement...

It can be said that Sakurabao has really made the most of sunlight!

Without Xia You's instructions, the croaking bubble frog had already dodged.

Don’t think that Sakurabao is coming with great momentum, but after such a long period of training, Frog is not at all inferior to it!

The distance was not too long, and the sunlight beam arrived almost instantly. Just when it was about to hit the Bubble Frog, the Bubble Frog, with its excellent jumping ability, easily dodged the attack with just a leap upwards.

My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!

This also made Cai Zhong's eyebrows raise slightly.

In previous gym battles, few people were able to dodge the sunlight-enhanced solar beams at such a close distance, and use this relatively easy method.

This also made her look at this water-type Pokémon with a new respect.

As expected, this Pokémon is used in battle even when knowing that its attributes are disadvantageous. It really has something!

This is not the end. After dodging the solar beam, Frog approached Sakura again. Facing such an aggressive opponent, Cai Zhong also wanted to test Frog's strength, so he did not let Sakura leave again and chose to fight head-on.

Sakurabao rushed over headfirst, as if trying to use the faster speed boosted by sunlight to attack Frog's back, but Frog's original speed was stronger than it, and at this time it used Lightning Flash to go around behind Sakurabao and cause damage to it.

Sakura was knocked back and staggered. After realizing that the opponent was difficult to deal with, Caizhong also realized that close combat would put him at a disadvantage, so he quickly changed his strategy and asked Sakura to use magic leaves to consume the physical strength of Frog.

At this time, the results of the continuous battles of the Frog were revealed.

Compared to when it was just captured, it has encountered many opponents and won many times, which has allowed its strength to grow rapidly. With the accumulation of a large amount of practical experience, Frog can now handle the Pokémon of gym leaders with ease.

Therefore, facing such an attack, it did not panic. Under Xia You's command, it calmly used the smoke screen to cover its own figure first, making it impossible for the magic leaves to continue tracking. After all the magic leaves that had lost their target had entered the smoke screen, it used water waves to shoot down all the leaves with a range attack.

Such performance also surprised Cai Zhong.

Before the battle, she had thought that this man's Pokémon would perform well, but she had never expected it to be this good!

Now that I think about it, I gave it a break at the beginning of the battle. It seems that I was a little too arrogant...
