Joy Luo stretched out his hand and gently brushed Ralts's green hair with his fingertips. The little guy took small bites of the delicious food, enjoying Nurse Joy's touch and squinting his eyes comfortably.

"It's so cute, is it a girl?" Joy Luo turned to ask Xinhai with a smile in his eyes.

Xinhai nodded with a smile, his eyes full of doting. "Yes, even though it is very lively now, in fact, this little guy is quite timid. He usually doesn't dare to approach strangers when he sees him."

"Ralts is naturally sensitive and timid, but after evolving into Kirlia, his personality will be much more cheerful." Joy Luo gently scratched Ralts's little nose, making the little guy giggle.

"That should be the case, but Kirlia should still be timid. I'm afraid it will be better after evolving to Gardevoir." Xinhai nodded with a smile and came to Torchic. He wanted to touch its little head, but it avoided it.

Looking at Torchic's blackened and curled feathers, Xinhai asked, "Xiao Luo, do you want to trim Torchic's feathers? That way Torchic won't dare to come out with Poké Ball!"

Torchic tilted his head and looked at Joy Luo with his pitiful big eyes.

Joy Luo looked at Torchic and couldn't help it, and said with a smile, "It's better not to cut it, wait for it to grow back on its own. Now Torchic has too few feathers, and the protective effect of the feathers has been reduced a lot. If you cut it again, it will have an impact. And if you want to cut it, I'm afraid you have to cut it all, so it's better not to cut it at all!"

Torchic seemed to understand, imagining how he looked naked, he shuddered all over, and hurriedly shook his head at Xinhai, saying that it was fine now, and it was better not to cut it!

Seeing Torchic shaking his head desperately, Xin Xinhai and Joy Luo couldn't help laughing.

Torchic saw the two of them laughing again, and jumped up in anger, accusing the two of them. "Chamo, Chamo! Chamo, Chamo..."

Xinhai looked at the angry Torchic, put Poké Ball in front of Torchic and said, "Okay, okay, we should leave, Torchic, you go first Poké Ball, otherwise Yingnan will see it!"

Torchic stopped, thinking of Yingnan and Mudkip laughing at him, and took the initiative to enter Poké Ball.

Xinhai picked up Ralts who had finished eating snacks and said softly, "Little guy, it's time for us to leave. Say goodbye to Miss Xiao Luo!

"Lalu~"

Ralts obediently waved his little hand towards Joy Luo, and was reluctantly taken back to Poké Ball.

At this moment, the door to the treatment room was pushed open, and a young man wearing aqua training clothes walked in.

The boy looked at Xinhai who was still in the treatment room and was stunned for a moment. Then he took out Poké Ball and said to Joy Luo, "Nurse Joy, please help my Pokémon to treat it!"

"Okay, Trainer Mizutamari! Please sit down and have a rest first, I will treat your Pokémon right away!" Joy Luo took Poké Ball and showed a professional smile.

Xinhai's heart moved, and he recognized the other party as Lilycove City Mizutame Family's genius trainer Mizutamari Hiroto.

Mizutamari Hiroto smiled at Joy Luo, "Thank you very much!"

The young man nodded towards Xinhai and then closed his eyes to rest.

Xinhai also nodded towards the other party, then smiled at Joy Luo and said, "Thank you so much Xiao Luo for today! Let's go now and talk again when we have a chance."

Joy Luo nodded, smoothed the broken hair around his ears, and said, "Go hard! Xinhai!"

At this time, Chansey also came to Joy Luo and waved goodbye to Xinhai: "Lucky~"

Xinhai walked out of the treatment room, and the host's passionate battle commentary came flooding in.

Xinhai walked along the steps of the player benches to his seat. During the process, he said hello to Kato Yun and Suzuki Ai in the front row.

Yingnan in the back row saw Xinhai coming back and said, "Why is it so slow this time! How about Torchic? Are you okay?"

"Don't worry, I have recovered." Xinhai pulled out the chair and sat down, looking towards the ring.

Yingnan nodded and said, "That's good, as long as it doesn't affect the subsequent battle!"

After listening to Yingnan's words, Xinhai nodded and thought: 'I will take a look at the medicine Xiao Luo mentioned when I go back today. If it is useful, I can strengthen Torchic's training!'

Torchic in Poké Ball sneezed and looked at his feathers in confusion. He thought he had a cold because his feathers were burned!

Xinhai looked at the big screen on the stage and said, "It will be your turn soon, how are you preparing?"

Yingnan shook his head and said, "It's okay, there are ways to deal with it, but you still have to try it to know it!"

Xinhai nodded and said, "As long as you have a way to deal with it, it will all depend on your performance in the ring!"

At this time, the referee announced, "Drilbur has lost the ability to fight, Bulbasaur wins! I declare Trainer Aoki to advance!"

Warm applause erupted in the venue, mixed with cheers for Trainer Aoki from the audience.

The referee's voice rang out from the radio. "The next match will be between Sugimoto trainer and Sato trainer. Please come on!"

Yingnan stood up from his seat and said to Xinhai beside him, "Wait for my good news!"

Xinhai looked at his friend's solemn look and said seriously, "Come on!"

As the cheers from the audience surged in, Yingnan left the contestants' seats and strode towards the ring.

Trainer Sato was already standing at the other end of the ring, calmly waiting for his opponent. When Yingnan walked onto the ring, the two trainers stared at each other closely, and the invisible Ember seemed to be wiped out in the air.

"Both sides sent out Pokémon!" Then under the referee's instruction, he released his own Pokémon.

The Poké Ball thrown by Yingnan and Kazu Sato at the same time drew an arc in the air. With a flash of red light, Mudkip appeared on the ring with a "click!" and looked at the opponent with eyes full of fighting intent.

Sneasel of Kazu Sato crossed his arms and looked at Mudkip with cold eyes. Sneasel's body is mainly black, with gold dots on his forehead and chest. His left ear is red, his tail is red, and his claws are silver-white with a metallic cold light.

The referee looked at the two Pokémons full of fighting spirit, raised the flag and waved. "Both sides are ready, the battle... begins!"

"Use Mud Shot! Mudkip!" "Icy Wind, Sneasel!"

Mudkip quickly condensed mud on the ground with his hands, controlled the sticky mud, and shot it towards Sneasel like a cannonball.

Sneasel's eyes flashed, and the words Spit Up and Icy Wind in his mouth collided with the mud. The mud instantly froze into crushed ice and scattered all over the ground.

Kazu Sato issued the command again, "After Quick Attack approaches, use Metal Claw!"

Sneasel was extremely fast, rushing toward Mudkip like a white lightning bolt. The claws covered with Steel type energy flashed with sharp cold light.

Seeing this, Yingnan shouted loudly, "Mudkip, use Water Gun!"

Mudkip puffed up his cheeks, opened his mouth and spat out five Water Gun towards the charging Sneasel, and Water Gun flew towards Sneasel like arrows.

The first three Water Gun and Sneasel relied on their own speed and ghostly movements to dodge, but these three Water Gun also blocked the movement of Sneasel.

When the fourth and fifth Water Gun hit Sneasel, Sneasel was too close behind Quick Attack, and after dodging the fourth Water Gun, he was hit in the shoulder by the fifth Water Gun.

Yingnan seized the opportunity and quickly ordered, "Use Mud Shot! Mudkip!"

Mudkip quickly gathered a ball of mud on the ground with both palms, grabbed one ball with one hand, and the two thick balls of mud flew towards Sneasel.

Kazu Sato stared hard, raised his hand and shouted, "Use Icy Wind!"

Sneasel Spit Up There was a bit of cold air in Spit Up's mouth again, and the mud condensed into ice one or two meters away from it and fell to the ground, shattering into crystal shards all over the ground.

Yingnan looked at the opponent's reaction speed with a serious expression and ordered, "Use Rock Slide!"

Mudkip's arms slapped the ground heavily, gathering dozens of rocks around him. The sharp stones pressed down on Sneasel with the sound of breaking through the air.

Kazu Sato looked at the covered Rock Slide and shouted at Sneasel, "Sneasel, use Ice Beam!"

The azure blue beam of light bursting out from Sneasel's mouth shot straight into the sky and collided with Rock Slide.

The collision between ice and rock exploded into a dazzling white light, and ice edges and gravel fell like raindrops, creating dense pits on the ground while raising a burst of icy mist.

Seeing this scene, Kazu Sato subconsciously ordered, "Quick Attack rush forward!"

Sneasel's body was quickly covered with a layer of white light from Normal type, and with the help of the mist generated by the collision between Ice Beam and Rock Slide, it quickly rushed in the direction of Mudkip.

Watching this scene, Yingnan was stunned for a moment, and quickly realized that this was an opportunity, so he ordered, "Mudkip, use Rock Slide!"

Mudkip's fins trembled slightly, catching the subtle air flow in the diffuse mist, and his hands quickly condensed more than a dozen rocks the size of table tennis balls.

Throwing it in the direction of Sneasel, the rocks Infiltrator were caught in the thick fog and were seen by Sneasel's sharp eyes. Unfortunately, there were too many rocks and it was impossible to avoid them all.

Sharp rocks rained down on it, and Sneasel suddenly stopped under the white light. Its claws burst out with a dazzling metallic luster. As it swung rapidly, crisp "dang-dang-dang" sounds continued to explode, smashing half of the flying rocks into powder.

But there were still too many rocks covering it, and it couldn't block them all, so it could only protect the vital parts first. Therefore, several rocks hit the shoulders and legs heavily, tearing open several bloody traces on the black fur.

The light mist slowly dissipated in the airflow of the skill confrontation, revealing Sneasel, who was half-kneeling on the ground due to pain after blocking the rock, holding his shoulders.

Looking at the battle situation on the field, the host's voice rose with excitement, "Wonderful! Mudkip's Rock Slide successfully severely damaged Sneasel! This is a key blow to turn the tide of the battle!"

The atmosphere in the venue was instantly ignited, and the exclamations and applause came one after another like waves crashing on the shore.

Trainer Morisaki at the judges' table looked at the injured Sneasel and shook his head and said with a smile, "This kid from the Sato family made a stupid mistake. He wanted to use the mist to break through the opponent, but he didn't look at his opponent's Pokémon."

Director Nakamura's face was a little gloomy, and he said, "These children of the family just need to take care of themselves. If they don't pay attention to those basic knowledge, they will suffer big losses sooner or later. Let's teach them a lesson this time."

After saying that, he took out his little notebook and wrote down this student Kazu Sato, so that he can train and train him carefully when school starts.
