A few days later, Lake Valor.
After conquering Riolu, Xiaoyun and Dawn came to the venue of Wallace Cup, Lake Valor.
Dawn followed Xiaoyun's advice and came to Lake Valor after registration to train seriously for this conference.
Buneary, Pachirisu, Swablu are practicing their skills in an orderly manner by the lake.
As for Trapinch, Dawn directs it to conduct actual combat training with Piplup.
"Trapinch, use Sandstorm for Piplup."
"Jaw."
After listening to Trapinch, he began to gather energy, and in a blink of an eye, a Sandstorm was covering the sky!
The surroundings were suddenly filled with sand and dust, the wind was howling, and the yellow sand was rolling like a stream, sweeping towards Piplup like a surging torrent.
Hoo ho ho!
In the dust, Piplup was tightly surrounded by yellow sand. It could only cover its eyes with its small wings to prevent the dust from invading.
As time goes by, its skin gradually becomes dry and its physical strength is gradually lost.
However, at this critical moment of life and death, Piplup was in a hurry and came up with a solution.
"Boga!!"
Then Piplup made a crisp chirp, and then it began to gather the energy of Water-type with all its strength.
I saw the little penguin's tiny wings began to flash blue light, getting brighter and brighter, and finally condensed into a powerful Whirlpool. Whirlpool continued to expand, like a huge whirlpool, spinning and roaring.
When Whirlpool expanded to its limit, the little penguin detonated it without hesitation.
Bang bang!
In an instant, the water flow shot out like an arrow, hitting the sand and dust hard. The water flow quickly penetrated into the sand and dust, making it extremely wet, and the originally ferocious force of the sandstorm also weakened.
"Hey, the little penguin is quite clever! His reflexes are quite fast."
Xiaoyun, who had been watching the show, witnessed all this and couldn't help but admire Piplup's wit and adaptability.
"You did a good job Piplup, then what about this move."
Dawn's eyes lit up when he saw it, and then he commanded again:
"Trapinch, use Mud Shot."
"Jaw."
Trapinch opened its mouth big enough to Swallow a whole little penguin, and then a dazzling yellow light spurted out from its mouth, and countless hard yellow mud chunks rushed towards Piplup like a rainstorm!
"Boga."
Piplup looked at Mud Shot who was coming towards him and smiled like a dragon king, as if he didn't take this mere attack seriously at all.
Immediately afterwards, a mysterious and powerful force spurted out from his mouth, forming a line of light blue Bubble Beam, which shot toward the enemy Lunge like a surging Water Gun.
Boom!!
As two loud sounds collided in mid-air, the entire space seemed to tremble.
Just like that, Trapinch's attack was easily resolved by the little penguin again.
This is so awesome for the little penguin, with its little wings on its hips, it stands on the battlefield with its head held high, as if possessed by the god of war.
Xiaoyun complained in his heart: (But let it be installed)
Dawn witnessed all this, and her heart was filled with joy. However, she knew that Piplup's strength was far more than that, so she continued to issue instructions without hesitation:
"Trapinch, use Dig!"
"Jaw."
After receiving the order, Trapinch immediately took action. It quickly dived underground and disappeared without a trace.
Seeing this, Piplup couldn't help but look around in a panic, trying to find any trace of Trapinch.
A moment later, the ground beneath Piplup suddenly began to shake violently, followed by a dull sound.
Rumble!
In the blink of an eye, Trapinch's figure burst out of the ground, like a ferocious giant beast, rushing towards Piplup with powerful Ground-type energy.
"Boga~"
Piplup was knocked out and fell heavily to the ground. It struggled to get up from the ground, its face Rage and its mouth bulging, obviously very angry that it was knocked down by its little brother.
"Boga!"
Then Piplup shouted, the beak on its mouth began to grow rapidly, and its body began to rotate rapidly.
Along with this series of actions, a powerful spiral Flying-type wave spurted out from Piplup, like a cannonball, rushing straight towards Trapinch.
At the same time, Trapinch showed no sign of weakness. It opened its mouth without waiting for Dawn to issue an order, and a wave of Dark type full of maliciousness immediately emerged from its mouth.
This wave of fluctuation was like a huge mouth, biting hard at the surging Piplup.
A loud "boom" sound was heard, and the two forces of Crunch and Drill Peck collided violently. At this moment, affected by Tackle, the two Pokémon stepped back several steps before they stabilized their bodies.
However, just when Piplup was about to attack again, Xiaoyun, who acted as a spectator and referee, suddenly stood up and interrupted the battle between them.
"Stop!"
"Okay Dawn, that's it for this friendly match. It's enough. Trapinch and Piplup performed very well."
Xiaoyun looked at the little penguin and was obviously anxious. If he didn't stop him, his friendship would be hurt. This would put the cart before the horse.
"Yes, Piplup performed very well just now, Piplup you are great."
Dawn walked to the opposite side, touched Piplup's little head and praised him.
"Boga Boga."
Piplup proudly crossed her hips and held out her belly, which made her look awesome.
"Trapinch is also great."
"Jaw!"
Trapinch heard Dawn's praise and was about to respond, but a strong white light emitted from his body.
"Sound."
The light dissipated, and the form of Trapinch disappeared. What appeared in front of the two people was Pokémon with green wings, bright green eyes, and a dragonfly-like appearance.
"This is..." Dawn subconsciously used Pokédex to check.
Vibrava, sonic wave Pokémon.
The evolved form of Trapinch, because Vibrava's wings are still developing, it is better at vibrating its wings to emit Supersonic than flying over long distances. Vibrating its wings at high speed can emit Supersonic, which can cause severe headaches.
"Hey, it evolved into Vibrava."
Dawn was also the first to evolve from Pokémon. He immediately touched Vibrava's head happily, and Vibrava had no intention of resisting. It seems that evolution did not change its personality.
Xiaoyun also didn't expect that among Dawn's lineup, Trapinch was the first to evolve. He thought it was Piplup or Buneary.
"Boga!"
At this moment, Piplup on the side also shouted, and a strong white light glowed on his body.
"Piplup, do you also..."
Dawn couldn't help but exclaimed, she wouldn't have two Pokémon evolving at the same time in one day, right? Did happiness come so suddenly?
Immediately after the white light dissipated, Piplup successfully evolved into... Piplup.
"Boga, boga~"
Piplup kept panting on the spot and looked frightened, as if he had experienced some terrible horror.
"Xiaoyun, Piplup Why didn't it evolve successfully?"
Dawn looked at Xiaoyun confused and asked.
"It's a boycott."
"Piplup is resisting its own evolution. In other words, Piplup is unwilling to evolve, so it is trying its best to suppress itself."
Xiaoyun thought for a while and then replied to Dawn.
He remembered that in the original work, Piplup seemed to be resisting evolution and planned to always appear in the form of Piplup, but he really forgot the reason.
"Hey! Why, shouldn't evolution make you stronger? Piplup, don't you want to become stronger?"
Dawn was a little confused and asked Piplup.
In her opinion, it would be nice to evolve into Prinplup. It looks cool, so why doesn't she want to evolve?
"Boga!"(No!)
When the little penguin heard that Dawn wanted it to evolve, it felt like it was fried, and it shook its head and refused.
"Piplup, we don't object to you not evolving, but can you tell us the reason?"
Xiaoyun also came over and asked Piplup.
This scene made Buneary, Pachirisu, Swablu who were training aside, and Vibrava who had just evolved look at Piplup with concern.
"Boga..."(I...)
Originally, Piplup was about to answer Xiaoyun's question, but when he raised his head, he saw everyone surrounding him.
This actually makes Piplup a little embarrassed to say it. It can't be said that it's because of Dawn...
When everyone is asking about the reason for Piplup.
Suddenly a faint Mist rose above Lake Valor, and then an ethereal voice came out.
"Wu~"
This sound immediately attracted the attention of Xiaoyun and others.
I saw a light yellow water snake emerging from the water, with a slender and beautiful head and black and red eyes.
Two slender pink hair-like fins extend downward from the eyebrows, plus the blue and red Prism Scale at the tail. Judging from the appearance alone, she is really the most beautiful girl among Pokémon.
"It's so beautiful."
Dawn's eyes were immediately attracted and he started to check with Pokédex.
