As the ground became muddier, Milotic moved more and more freely on the field.
Its smooth scales are very advantageous in such a quagmire and allow it to move faster. This also allows Swellow to dodge the subsequent dive attacks in a more leisurely manner.
Even when faced with the mud on the ground, Swellow did not dare to get too close, nor did it dare to attack easily, for fear of being stained by mud and affecting its own speed.
This also gives Swellow a feeling of being too powerful.
Winona's evaluation of Xia You has once again reached a higher level.
Not being rigid, this kind of creativity in a battle is rare, and it reminded her of the challenger named Ash some time ago.
Are they the same type Pokémon Trainer?
However, although he does not dare to dive easily, Swellow is also very good at medium and long-range attacks. This does not have much impact on Nate.
A Air Slash was drawn towards Milotic, and Milotic was not to be outdone, but also a Water Gun Spit Up shot towards Swellow, but the damage of Air Slash was too high, causing it to break through Water Gun and continue towards Milotic.
Milotic took his time and dodged easily with the help of the smooth ground. The two Pokémons alternated attack and defense, but neither of them had a good way to defeat each other, and they were deadlocked there for a while.
"Swellow, use Aerial Ace!"
In the end, Winona couldn't bear it any longer and took the lead in starting the variation.
And seeing Swellow starting to hover in the air, gathering power, Xia You's eyes also became serious.
Aerial Ace This move involves teasing the opponent with agile movements and then cutting. It can be said that with the increase of one's own speed and the opponent being distracted, it is a move that will definitely hit the opponent under normal circumstances.
To deal with such an attack, the situation must become unusual.
"Milotic, use Twister!"
Under his command, Milotic used Twister. In an instant, a Whirlpool-shaped strong wind formed in Battle Field, blowing up mud and water, not only spraying it into the air, but also splashing everywhere.
The situation on the battlefield is more complicated.
Occupied by Twister, Swellow lost the trace of Milotic, and its flight was also affected by the airflow and the splashing mud.
However, to be sent out by Winona in the last game, Swellow's strength and experience are naturally beyond compare. Although Twister did have a certain impact on it, like those predators in the sky, it also has excellent patience. For it, this is not a problem. Since Twister exists, just wait for the dragon whirlwind to disappear by itself!
Anyway, it has a lot of patience and can afford it!
Needless to say, this is undoubtedly the right choice.
The not-so-long wait did pay off, but after more than ten seconds, when the power of Twister gradually weakened and had not completely dissipated, it suddenly seized the opportunity, dived down at an extremely fast speed, used Aerial Ace, and hit Milotic in a right-angled trajectory!
Milotic was staggered and fell backwards to the ground. When it quickly got up and wanted to fight back, Swellow was back in the air again.
Seeing the wounds on Milotic's body, Xia You lamented that this Swellow was difficult to deal with, and said calmly, "Milotic, use Recover!"
Milotic screamed softly, and was immediately enveloped in a faint white light, and most of the wounds on its body were healed in an instant.
Everything seems to be back to how it was just now.
But generally speaking, whether it is Twister or Recover, compared to Swellow, Milotic undoubtedly consumes more, which seems to allow Winona to see the dawn of victory.
"Very good!" The attack worked, so Winona naturally had no reason to stop and couldn't help shouting, "Swellow, let us Encore!"
For Xia You, Twister just didn't have any effect, which also made him realize that Swellow was difficult to deal with. Seeing that Winona wanted to repeat the same trick, he was moved and asked Milotic to use Twister again.
Twister, which is exactly the same as before, is formed again in Battle Field.
Seeing this scene, not only Misty in the audience, but also Winona, the opponent, frowned.
Huh?
It obviously didn't have any effect just now, why did it happen again?
Is there nothing we can do?
Or are you still unwilling to give up and want to try again?
Just when the two of them were confused, Xia You also gave his answer.
At the moment when Twister was formed, and under his command, Milotic rushed directly into Twister!
Under the coercion of Twister, just a few seconds later, Milotic was already involved in High Sky!
However, when falling, Milotic twisted his body, adjusted his direction and posture in the air, and fell towards Swellow.
So that's it.
Seeing this, Winona already understands everything.
This man must have seen that Swellow was not with Milotic Close Combat, so he took the initiative to lean towards Swellow in this way!
Although the idea is very good, I can only say that it is too simple!
The sky is the main battlefield for the flying type Pokémon. Without the moist soil, Milotic can't move in the air. Isn't it just a living target for others to slaughter?
You asked for this!
Thinking of this, she quickly said loudly, "Swellow, let it see how powerful you are!"
Under her command, Swellow spread its wings and flew towards Milotic.
Seeing that she had indeed been fooled, Xia You's face also showed a "scheme succeeded" smile.
"Now! Milotic, use Surf!!"
Upon hearing his order, Winona, Misty, Swellow, and even Referee were subconsciously stunned, but only Milotic did not hesitate and faithfully executed the Pokémon Trainer order!
In an instant, a big wave formed out of thin air from under it, and then together with Milotic, it hit Swellow from the air with an unstoppable force!
This big wave, like a huge net, completely enveloped Swellow.
Because they were too close, Swellow only had time to raise his head, but the big wave intersection had already hit Swellow Knock Off hard and fell to the ground!
Hooray!
Milotic and Swellow fell at the same time as the big waves. Compared with Milotic, Swellow had changed from a proud swallow to a drowned rat. At this moment, its feathers were completely soaked and it crawled down, looking quite embarrassed.
"What!?"
Seeing such a change, Winona's expression changed.
But before she could say anything, Milotic had already stood up and snaked away towards Swellow!
"Oops! Swellow! Get out of the way!!"
Swellow flapped its wings and wanted to fly away, but its feathers were soaked in water. It flapped desperately for more than a dozen times, but except for throwing out a lot of water, it could not fly even one meter!
Milotic came to it at this moment.
"Use Aqua Tail!"
Amidst Xia You's command, Milotic's tail was entangled in the water, and it was whipped towards Swellow. With a 'pop' sound, Swellow was already whipped and staggered.
And that wasn't the end yet. Without giving its opponent any chance, it bullied it again and wrapped its tail tightly around Swellow. As it continued to exert force, it directly strangled Swellow and fainted!
"Swellow has lost the ability to fight. The winner of this Gym battle is the challenger Xia You!"
When Referee lifts Colored Flag, it also means that today's Gym battle has come to an end, and the winner has been completely decided.
As for Winona, she has been defeated by such a move more than once today.
"You won." She sighed with emotion, "What a great tactic. I am convinced that I lost. Although I had a chance to win the final battle, I can only say that you are still better."
"No, you are also very powerful. If I hadn't thought of this method in the end, I might not have been able to defeat you at all."
Because they had a good impression before, the two inevitably complimented each other for a while after the war.
This also made Misty, who had just left the auditorium and walked to Xia You, sigh helplessly.
Alas, the world of adults is really troublesome...
Just when she was sighing with emotion, Winona also took out a shiny Badge from her arms and handed it into the hands of Xia You.
"Take it, this is my Feather Badge, it is proof of defeating me."
After thanking him, Xia You took the Badge in his hand and lowered his head to look at it.
Misty on the side also curiously moved his head over. The two looked at Badge at the same time and found that this Feather Badge was just like its name, just like a silver-white wing. Other than that, there was nothing special about it.
The overall feeling is clean and simple. From a personal point of view, Xia You still likes this Badge.
And just when Feather Badge was put into Badge, Winona also saw the other seven Badge in the box at a glance, and couldn't help but smile, "So you have collected eight already? I didn't expect that my Badge was the last one to collect. What an honor!"
In fact, the order of collecting Badge is mostly decided by the distance of Gym, but for most Pokémon Trainer, people are still willing to challenge the simplest one first Single, and then challenge the more difficult Gym, which also gives a hint of comparison between Gym Leader. After all, no one wants to be the weakest and the first to be challenged.
So now I see that I am the last one to be challenged, and I feel very happy.
From Erika's mouth, Xia You also roughly understood some of this kind of thing, so he could roughly guess what Winona was thinking at this time.
Saying goodbye to Winona again, Xia You and Misty left Fortree Gym.
Things have come to this point, when all eight Badges have been collected, Hoenn's trip has almost come to an end, but it is not the end. After all, there is still Ever Grande Conference waiting for him. Even after the conference, he can go to Battle Frontier for a stroll.
There are still many things.
When they walked out of the Gym range, Misty couldn't wait to turn around and asked, "Where should we go next? Should we go directly to Ever Grande City?"
"It's too early to go now, at least there's still more than half a month left." Xia You shook his head, "But you reminded me that although I don't need to go to Ever Grande City now, I can first go to Pokémon Center to verify my qualifications."
Following the green forest path, the two returned to Fortree City Downtown, and came all the way to Pokémon Center here.
Nurse Joy was at Counter. When he saw her, Xia You directly expressed his intention to come.
"I understand, now please let me confirm the quantity of Badge."
He handed his Badge Case to Nurse Joy. After confirming that it was correct, Nurse Joy did a few operations on the computer and returned Badge Case to him.
"Okay, I have already registered for the competition in advance for you, but I still want to remind you that when the competition starts, you must go to the site to confirm again."
This is a necessary process. After all, Silver Conference has already gone through it, and Xia You has no objections.
"Thank you."
After finishing all this, the two of them did not stay there to rest, but walked directly out of the door of Pokémon Center.
According to Xia You's original plan, he and Misty planned to find a relatively prosperous city where they could relax and do the final training before the conference. However, just after they stepped out of the gate, a phone call from May directly disrupted his plan.
"Eh? It's going to be held soon!?"
Even though he was about one meter away from Misty, Xia You could vaguely hear what May said, and Misty's voice was even more deafening.
I see, Grand Festival of Hoenn Region will be held soon...
After digging his ears, Xia You could hear from the phone that May had successfully obtained five Ribbon Medals and was heading to the city where the celebration was held. This call was made in the hope that Misty could also go there together.
"This..."
Misty hesitated for a moment, took the phone and looked back at Xia You. Seeing Xia You nodded, he excitedly agreed.
"No problem!" She laughed and said, "Xia You has just collected all Badge. We have a lot of time now, so it's settled, let's meet there directly!"
After hanging up the phone, Misty was about to leave, but just as she took the first step, Xia You stopped her with a wave of her hand.
"Why are you so excited? You're not going to attend the celebration, and have you forgotten something?"
"What did you forget?" Misty looked confused and said in surprise, "I always have my luggage with me. Badge The box was just returned to you. I didn't forget anything..."
Seeing that she couldn't remember it at all, Xia You had no choice but to shake the two pockets hanging behind her back.
Seeing the shaking of the pocket, Misty then reluctantly stuck out his tongue. "Ah, I really forgot. I forgot that these two Orbs still need to be returned to Pheobe."
Just as she finished speaking, a figure suddenly jumped down from the canopy of the tree she was sitting on and landed in front of Misty.
"Yeah!"
This really startled Misty and made her scream. But when she saw who it was, she realized that Pheobe had already arrived in front of them!
What a coincidence.
It's a pity that there is no Cao Cao in this world, otherwise Misty would definitely sigh: Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be here!
