"The flames are still not enough..."
Yushu frowned.
The attack power of Scyther has been increased to a terrifying level by Swords Dance. Even Combusken cannot be directly connected to it, and it is not a problem to consume it for a long time.
"Combusken, wrap yourself in Fire Spin!"
Combusken was stunned for a moment, but still did it.
It Spit Up Fire Spin, but instead of attacking Scyther, it wraps itself in flames.
The flame turned into a flowing ring of fire, completely surrounding itself.
Fire Spin armor!
Bugsy saw this scene and looked confused. "What does this mean? Burn yourself?"
This was the first time he had seen this kind of operation.
"Come forward! Flame Charge!"
Combusken's whole body was wrapped in flames, rushing towards Scyther like a burning meteor.
Its speed has reached an astonishing level with the double bonus of Speed Boost and Flame Charge.
"Scyther, Cut!"
Bugsy was not to be outdone, Scyther's sickle condensed with dazzling white light, and struck Combusken with one strike.
Boom bang! The two collided together, making an earth-shattering noise.
This Flame Charge is superimposed with the high-temperature blessing of Fire Spin, and its power is far greater than usual.
The two powerful forces were in a stalemate, and neither side could immediately overwhelm the opponent.
This kid has something!
"Scyther, Swords Dance!"
"Ouch!"
Scyther spins again, the sickle swings to create a whirlwind, Swords Dance starts again.
This time the whirlwind directly swept in Fire Spin all around Combusken, and the flames and whirlwind merged to form a violent flame Twister.
"Combusken, jump up!"
Combusken Kicked off the ground with both legs, jumped high into the air, and escaped from the range of the flame tornado.
"Scyther, rush forward!"
Bugsy directed Scyther to follow Pursuit into the air, and Combusken, carrying Swords Dance, flew straight into the air.
Yushu's eyes narrowed. "Blaze Kick!"
Combusken's right foot condensed blazing flames and kicked towards Scyther like a burning meteorite.
Just when Bugsy thought he had a chance to win, he suddenly realized a problem.
Swords Dance Storm has blind spots!
During the process of Swords Dance, there is a blind spot above the head of Scyther, which is a blind spot that Swords Dance cannot cover.
And the current position of Combusken is just above the blind spot!
Combusken's body rotated in the air, and with the help of Gravity acceleration, all the power was concentrated on that one kick.
"Not good!"
Bugsy's face changed drastically.
Blaze Kick passed through Swords Dance and kicked Scyther on the head like a meteor.
Boom! Headshot from high altitude!
The flames exploded, Scyther's body shook violently, and Swords Dance's rotation also stopped.
"One more move while you're at it! Blaze Kick!"
After Combusken landed, he tapped the ground with his toes. Without any pause, Splash flew into the air again. The second Blaze Kick kicked Scyther heavily in the chest.
Boom bang!!
This time, Scyther had no defense ability. Before it had time to react, it was kicked in the chest by the second Blaze Kick.
Bugsy exhaled a breath and praised sincerely:
"It's wonderful, it's really wonderful. Being able to find Swords Dance's blind spot so quickly is something that many challengers can't do."
"You're welcome, it's just a coincidence. Bugsy and your Swords Dance are really very practical."
Yushu Daily business exchanges.
Anyway, it's free to praise someone. A few more compliments can make the other person relax their vigilance, making it easier to talk to them when bargaining later.
Bugsy smiled sheepishly, "Stop talking, come with me, I will take you to see Shuckle."
He turned and walked towards the depths of the gym, followed by Yushu, walking through a long corridor covered with vines and moss.
The walls on both sides of the corridor were covered with ivy, and strings of unknown purple flowers hung from the wooden frame overhead. The air was filled with a faint floral fragrance.
Yushu looked at the surrounding environment as he walked, secretly sighing in his heart:
I'm afraid some garden designer was hired to design the decoration style of this gym, right?
After walking through the corridor, the view suddenly opened up.
This is a huge indoor ecological garden with a dome more than ten meters high and a transparent glass curtain wall that allows sunlight to fully shine in.
The entire space is divided into several different ecological areas.
In these areas, all kinds of Bug-type Pokémon live densely.
Caterpie lay on the leaves and ate, opening and closing his mouth, eating with gusto.
Weedle climbed on the tree trunk, piercing the bark of the tree with the spikes on its head, and moved upward step by step.
Parasect are in groups, like a moving mushroom garden.
Venomoth danced in the air, Ariados woven into Spider Web among the branches, and Pineco hung itself on the tree to pretend to be a fruit.
There are also Wurmple, Silcoon, Beautifly of Hoenn Region.
What kind of gym is this? This is clearly a Bug-type Pokémon theme park!
"This gym of yours... is really unique."
Yushu couldn't help but sigh.
Misty If he saw so many Bug-type... I'm afraid he would call the police directly and say that he had mistakenly entered the base of some terrorist organization.
(Misty: Haha, not so calm.)
There was a bit of pride in Bugsy's tone. "That is, although Azalea Gym is not as impressive as those big cities, in terms of ecological diversity, I would say Johto Region is second, and no one dares to say it is first."
"It certainly lives up to its name."
Yushu said sincerely.
For an ecological park of this size, the maintenance cost alone is a considerable expense, not to mention the need to take care of the food and daily life of so many Pokémon.
Bugsy stopped, turned around, and his expression became serious. "Although Bug-type Pokémon are not liked by most people, they are the most tenacious life forms in the world. Each Bug-type Pokémon has its own unique survival wisdom."
"Caterpie's tenacity, Butterfree's elegance, Scyther's bravery, Heracross's persistence..."
He paused, his eyes flashing with an almost loving light:
"I want more people to see their beauty."
Yushu listened quietly, filled with emotions.
He felt that in this realm of Bugsy, it would be a pity not to be a publicity ambassador.
In this era when everyone is pursuing Dragon-type and quasi-gods, there are really too few people who can calm down to study Bug-type Pokémon and truly love them.
Bugsy really regards Bug-type Pokémon as his family and a beautiful existence worthy of being seen by the world.
"You did a great job, really."
Yushu said sincerely,
Bugsy was stunned for a moment, then grinned. "Thank you."
After a brief chat, Yushu quickly returned to business and asked proactively:
"By the way, where is Shuckle? I didn't even see it just now."
"Oh, over here."
Bugsy turned around and came to a relatively quiet corner, where there were several low shrubs with dense branches and leaves, and things similar to clay pots were placed under the shade of the trees.
Taking a closer look, Yushu realized that it was not a clay pot, but Shuckle.
Shuckle is a kind of fish with a very special appearance. Their body is like a red clay pot. They usually use tentacle-like organs to absorb the juice from the surrounding Berry, and store it in their bodies for fermentation and brewing.
The Shuckle in front of me are all well developed.
The shell is smooth and shiny, and the color is bright. You can tell at a glance that it has been cared for with care.
Bugsy walked next to a Shuckle, reached out and gently touched its shell:
"There are nearly forty Shuckles in our gym, ten of them are still in the juvenile stage, and there are thirty adult Shuckles. By the way, how many do you plan to have?"
Yushu did not rush to answer, but squatted down and observed these Shuckle carefully.
A Shuckle felt his approach, slowly stretched out a tentacle, and gently touched the back of his hand.
The tentacles are Limber and warm, with a kind of friendly temptation.
"It seems that Shuckle approves of you."
Bugsy There was a hint of surprise in his tone.
Generally speaking, Shuckle will be wary of strangers they have never met and will not approach them easily.
But when facing Yushu, Shuckle showed no fear of strangers, which shows that Yushu has a temperament that makes Shuckle feel at ease and trustworthy.
"Really?" Yushu stretched out his hand and gently touched Shuckle's tentacles.
Shuckle seemed to enjoy this touch, as if purring comfortably.
"By the way, do you have Berry Juice brewed by Shuckle? Can you let me try it?"
Yushu suddenly thought of something, raised his head and asked.
Since you plan to use Berry Juice to make Pokéblock, you must try it first.
"Of course, come with me and I'll show you what a truly pure natural green drink is."
Bugsy took Yushu to a workshop in the corner of the ecological park.
The room was filled with bottles and cans, and a rich fruity aroma filled the air.
Bugsy Open the cabinet and take out a row of sealed glass bottles.
The bottles contain liquids of different colors, corresponding to different categories of puree brewed by Berry. The color is transparent and the quality looks very good.
"These are all naturally fermented juice purees from Shuckle, which are absolutely natural and pollution-free."
Bugsy said as he skillfully took out a few clean cups from the drawer, "But you can't drink it directly. The concentration is too high and you need to dilute it."
He poured a little bit of puree from the golden bottle, then added purified water and shook it gently a few times. The originally thick golden liquid spread in the water and turned into a clear and translucent light gold.
"Try it! Exclusive limited flavor!"
Yushu took the cup, brought it to his nose and smelled it. A fresh fruity aroma came to his face, mixed with the smell of citrus.
He took a sip.
The moment the liquid enters your mouth, a sweet taste explodes on your tongue.
It's not the sweetness of artificial saccharin, but the natural sweetness of the fruit, with a hint of acidity, which stimulates the taste buds just right.
The taste is smooth and the aftertaste is long. After taking a sip, a light fruity aroma is still left in your mouth.
"Well, this tastes delicious."
Yushu's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but take a sip.
The taste was better than any drink he had ever had before.
Bugsy smiled even brighter when he heard the compliment:
"Really? The Berry Juice produced by my Shuckle is famous. Every year at the Autumn Leaf Festival of Azalea Town, there will be people in the town who come to buy my Berry Juice."
"Not bad, the taste is very pure."
Yushu put down the cup and started to make calculations in his mind.
If this Berry Juice is introduced into the pasture and combined with our own Pokéblock technology, a completely new product line can be developed.
