This is also the tradition of Twinleaf Town. As the strongest person in Twinleaf Town, Palmer naturally wants to support the development of his hometown.
It is precisely because of Palmer, the signature card of fighting against the king, that the Futaba Festival can attract many trainers.
"Xiaoyun is right. I can see that you are all very capable young men. I am looking forward to playing against you all."
"When you're full, let's go."
After eating the last piece of takoyaki, Palmer encouraged Ash, patted his legs and got up to leave.
Looking at the back of his father leaving in a hurry, and then looking at the plate that was as clean as if a dog had licked it, Barry realized it in hindsight and shouted loudly at Palmer's back.
"Damn stinky dad, don't you have any heart? You've eaten all these takoyakis. Come back and buy me another one!"
Listening to Barry's "careful words", Palmer smiled proudly.
"Still young~"
The pace of walking became faster.
This made Barry angry, but there was nothing he could do.
But Barry glanced at it and saw a few skewers of roasted beans on the dining table. He took out a bunch and put it in his mouth. "Who bought these roasted beans?"
Brock said, "Oh, I bought that. I thought it was a bit old after being baked, so I left it there."
Ash also took a bite. "Well, it is indeed a bit old and the taste is not very good."
Barry picked up another bunch and put it in his mouth, saying vaguely, "Hmm, who said these beans are old? These beans are great."
"As long as you like it."
And just after Palmer left, another young lady with yellow hair appeared in their sight and walked towards them.
The young lady looked at Dawn anxiously and said, "Dawn, why are you still here?"
"Sister Noah, what's wrong?" Dawn tilted his head and replied with confusion on his face.
This yellow-haired young lady is called Noah. She is Johanna's assistant and is responsible for Johanna's gorgeous performances and other matters.
"No way Dawn, have you forgotten the battle agreement between you and Teacher Johanna?" Noah pointed to the direction of the square and reminded, "Teacher Johanna is waiting for you in the square now."
"Ah! Oh no, no, no, why did I forget about this? I'm going over now."
After being reminded by Noah, Dawn finally remembered that there was such a thing, quickly picked up his bag from his seat and hurried towards the square.
Everyone did not care about eating and ran towards Futaba Square with Dawn.
At this time, Futaba Square.
Looking at Dawn who came in a hurry, a "kind" smile appeared on Johanna's calm face, and his tone was gentle.
"It's so rude Dawn. You actually made your mother wait for you for an hour. Or is it okay to disrespect your mother just by saying you're going on a trip?"
The smile was obviously from her mother, but in Dawn's eyes, it looked full of Pressure. She spoke in a weak voice.
"Sorry mom, it's all me..."
But before Dawn could finish speaking, Xiaoyun suddenly stepped forward and bowed politely to Johanna.
"I'm sorry, auntie, this is all my fault. I kept dragging Dawn to eat with me."
And just as he finished apologizing, a little hedgehog suddenly popped out of Johanna's shoulder and said proudly:
"Look, I've admitted it. Johanna, please help me teach Xiaoyun a lesson. This guy must have led the lovely Dawn into ruin."
The little hedgehog's tone was full of pride, as if he had the pleasure of getting revenge.
Since it got to know Johanna, it knew that Johanna could control its own trainer, so it immediately hugged Johanna's thigh.
But what it doesn't know is that it is going further and further on the road to death.
This guy Shaymin, no wonder I didn't see it today. I didn't expect that he would find a backer for himself... Looking at Shaymin who was adding insult to injury, Xiaoyun frowned slightly and was about to explain.
However, after Johanna saw Xiaoyun, he didn't seem to hear the little hedgehog's pillow talk. Instead, he directly took Xiaoyun's hand and said with a warm expression, "It's Xiaoyun. Why don't you come back to see auntie? Fortunately, auntie made a lot of delicious food yesterday. Do you think you dislike auntie?"
Shaymin's expression froze.
The script is wrong. Johanna was clearly very angry just now. Logically speaking, she shouldn't have vented all her anger on Xiaoyun. What's going on now...
At this time, Shaymin turned around and saw Xiaoyun smiling "kindly" at it, and the meaning was obvious.
Go home and see how I teach you a lesson!
Shaymin wants to cry but has no tears, it really wants to say it now.
Dear Xiaoyun, please listen to Mi's explanation. Mi just made a little joke with you to liven up the atmosphere~
Without looking at Shaymin, Xiaoyun continued to reply to Johanna with a smile on his face, "Haha, how come, I was going to see my aunt, and I also said I would go home with Dawn."
Dawn also added, "Yes, mom, that's what we planned."
"Dawn It's none of your business, just stand still."
Who is the biological child? Dawn emo on the spot...
In the end, with the blessing of Xiaoyun's status as "son-in-law", Johanna reluctantly forgave Dawn.
However, when the game continued, what was surprising was that Xiaoyun actually stood beside Dawn, and Johanna on the opposite side also acquiesced in this behavior. It was obvious that he had just discussed with Xiaoyun to start a duel with Double Battle.
Speaking of competitions, of course the professional referee Dragonfly team is indispensable...,Brock.
I saw little Teacher Brock standing happily in the center of the field, as if he had transformed into Trick. He suddenly took out two small flags from his body and waved them.
"Now the Double Battle duel between the excellent coordinator Johanna and Xiaoyun and Dawn officially begins!"
As his voice fell, Johanna quickly threw out two Poké Ball.
"Come out, Glameow, Umbreon."
Then a red light flashed, and two Pokémons, one gray and one black, appeared on the field. They put on a posture of being ready.
Recently, Xiaoyun and Dawn have rarely participated in the Double Battle duel. It is also a rare opportunity to suddenly have a duel with the experienced Johanna.
Immediately afterwards, they simultaneously released their own Pokémon.
"Piplup, the charm appears!"
"Floatzel, this battle is up to you!"
Perhaps because of the duel with her mother and to prove her progress, Dawn sent out her Starter Pokémon and Piplup.
Xiaoyun sent Floatzel, who is also Water-type like Piplup, intending to cooperate well with Dawn.
Noah looked at the three opponents on the field expectantly. "The showdown between mother and daughter is really exciting."
Oh, by the way, there is also a son-in-law,
This has completely turned into a family brawl.
"Floatzel, use Rain Dance!"
With the order from Xiaoyun, the battle officially began.
"Hey!"
I saw Floatzel opening his mouth and spitting out a ball of dazzling white light. This white light ball rushed into the sky like a meteor and blended into it.
Then, the sky became dense with dark clouds, and gradually, fine raindrops began to fall.
"Want to use Rain Dance to enhance the site advantage? It's a very good idea."
Johanna saw his son-in-law's attempt at Detect and immediately gave the order, "Glameow, Umbreon."
"Double Shadow Ball, target Floatzel!"
After hearing the command, Glameow and Umbreon opened their mouths at the same time. Rich shadow energy gathered at the corners of their mouths, aiming at Floatzel who was controlling the weather, and launched two powerful Shadow Ball without hesitation.
"Mom, don't forget, there is still me."
Upon seeing this, Dawn quickly turned on the guard mode and decisively issued an order to Piplup, "Piplup, use Whirlpool to stop Shadow Ball!"
"Boga!"
After Piplup received the instruction, he responded quickly and spread his wings. A powerful stream of water flowed out of the wings like a whirlpool, forming a huge waterspout.
Bang bang!
The waterspout was like a shield, firmly stopping the two roaring Shadow Ball.
The rain began to fall in a steady patter, moistening the ground and making the air fresh and moist.
"Piplup, continue to use Whirlpool."
After Dawn gave the command, Piplup spread its wings and launched Whirlpool again. The water flow formed a vortex and swept towards the opposite side.
"Floatzel, use Blizzard to blend into Whirlpool!"
Just after hearing Dawn's instructions, Xiaoyun instantly understood the other party's intentions and responded quickly.
"Hey!"
Floatzel received the order, aimed at Whirlpool, and spit out a stream of cold Blizzard from his mouth.
The cold air flow intertwined with Whirlpool, and the water vortex gradually turned into ice, forming a rather spectacular whirlpool of ice, crushing towards Glameow and Umbreon.
"Combo skill, Ice Vortex!"
The tacit cooperation between the two made Johanna couldn't help but admire. "It's a good cooperation, it's very skillful."
To make such an effective attack in just the blink of an eye, doesn't this mean that the two of them have a good relationship? As a mother, Johanna is very pleased.
This is also the reason why she proposed to let Xiaoyun participate, because fighting can best reflect a person's on-the-spot reaction, in order to test the tacit understanding between the two.
Back to the topic, although the two of them used their combined skills well, Johanna did not intend to stop there, but calmly took command.
"Glameow, Umbreon."
"Double Quick Attack Dodge."
I saw Glameow and Umbreon Synchronize moving, transforming into two white streams of light, their figures surrounding the ice vortex at extremely fast speeds, flashing continuously.
Not only is it extremely beautiful, it also successfully avoids the attack of the ice whirlpool.
Dawn said in surprise, "How could that happen?"
Their combo skills were broken so easily.
This kind of avoidance made Zoey, also Coordinator, couldn't help but praise, "This avoidance trajectory has been specially calculated and is very skillful."
Auntie Johanna is worthy of being the former Grand Festival champion. If we judge by the competition mechanism of Pokémon Contest, Xiaoyun will definitely lose points seriously.
"Very well done."
Johanna smiled and encouraged the two Pokémon, but soon, Johanna continued to attack.
"Double Swift!"
After hearing the order, Glameow and Umbreon immediately raised their Splash, followed by the flashing Swift, which swept towards Piplup and Floatzel like raindrops.
Faced with such a fierce offensive, the two did not panic and calmly issued instructions.
"Piplup, use Bubble Beam to intercept."
"Floatzel, Aqua Tail block it."
"Hello." "Boga"
Piplup and Floatzel looked at each other and reacted quickly. Aqua Tail was immediately thrown out by Floatzel like a waterspout.
The Bubble Beam fired by Piplup surrounded the waterspout, blocking all the Swift that were attacking.
Intertwined together, they formed a solid line of defense and successfully blocked the enemy's attack.
Seeing that both of their eyes were on Swift, Johanna raised the corners of his mouth and commanded again.
"Umbreon, Glameow."
"Use, double Attract!"
After saying that, Umbreon and Glameow in the air quickly changed their moves, and the original Swift were all replaced by sweet hearts exuding charming light.
Hearts of love cross the waterspout and surge in like a tidal wave, as if a goddess who has ignored you for a long time is sweetly saying good night to you.
The mother-in-law's moves are too risky. If they are hit, they will be eliminated directly.
But Xiaoyun only thought about it briefly and made a countermeasure in his mind.
"Floatzel, Counter Shield."
Floatzel quickly turned over and landed on his back. The water whip composed of countless water flows was waving in the air, gradually turning into a large net woven by water, crushing all Attract's attacks and successfully resolving the situation of Captivate.
"Ah, this technique is quite good."
Seeing that his attack was neutralized, Johanna was not angry, but instead smiled and said.
"Xiaoyun hasn't considered developing into Coordinator?"
The two coordinators present took a deep breath. If Xiaoyun were to follow the coordinator's path, then this year's Grand Festival would be in trouble. They would have to compete for second place.
"There's no need for this. Skills are just a way for me to fight. I still prefer traditional trainers' gyms."
Xiaoyun declined politely, mainly because most of the current coordinators still focus on skills and appreciation. If we only talk about strength...
Maybe Yellow and Barry can win the first and second place.
"That's such a shame."
Johanna said it was a pity, but his eyes glanced at Dawn with deep meaning.
"But Aunt Johanna, you have to be careful next time."
Johanna's style of play has almost been dealt with by the two of them, now is the time to counterattack.
"Dawn!"
Xiaoyun shouted, and Dawn immediately understood and gave instructions to Piplup.
"Piplup, use Ice Beam!"
"Boga!"
Piplup quickly spit out an icy blue ice beam from his mouth.
Ice and water do not separate each other. With the blessing of the rainy day, the range of Ice Beam is larger than usual, sweeping towards Glameow and Umbreon.
"Dawn, such an attack is useless against mom."
Johanna looked calm and then commanded.
"Double Quick Attack."
Then, Umbreon and Glameow turned into white streams of light again, effortlessly avoiding the scanning range of Ice Beam.
But before they could stabilize their bodies, Floatzel's figure had already arrived in front of them, and its fists were condensed with ice-blue cold light.
"That's it now, Ice Punch!"
As Xiaoyun's voice came out, Floatzel punched out with both fists, and Ice Punch hit Glameow and Umbreon on the waist at the same time. The force was so great that it directly knocked the two Pokémon away.
Glameow, who was weaker in physical strength, was immediately knocked out of combat ability by this blow, but Umbreon, who had higher double defense, was still able to stand on the field after several rolls, and the situation was instantly reversed.
The Ability of this Floatzel is Swift Swim.
Just through one round of observation, Johanna understood the reason why Floatzel was extremely fast. It was Swift Swim that doubled its speed in rainy weather.
But the situation at this time was extremely unfavorable to Johanna, but fortunately she didn't have to worry about it.
Because her baby daughter and son-in-law have already begun the next attack.
"Floatzel, Piplup."
"Aqua Jet."
