Soon, the two of them stepped into Opelucid City.
There are two most famous ones in Opelucid City.
One of them is Opelucid Gym. As the strongest gymnasium of Unova Region, his strength is real.
And guarding this gym is Drayden, who is known as the Master of Dragons, with the proper strength of Elite Four.
The second is Opelucid Academy, which recruits students from various regions for training. The systematic training is the academic school in Pokémon.
And because the director is Drayden, there are also very capable trainers coming here to further their studies.
It stands to reason that Iris is from the Opelucid Academy, but because his personality could not adapt, he was directly fired from Drayden.
Generally speaking, the college is good overall, but due to the changes of the times, Blueberry Academy from the Pokémon Journeys period has caught up, and the enrollment level is far lower than before.
After the two entered Opelucid City, Dawn was walking as if he remembered something, clapped his hands hard and said:
"By the way Opelucid City! I remember Iris said that she seems to be Opelucid City's person. It would be great if we could meet her. It would be nice to have an acquaintance to lead the way."
Xiaoyun While listening, his eyes inadvertently glanced at the telephone pole on the side. He was slightly startled, opened his mouth, and then said:
"I don't know if Iris is Opelucid City, but you should be able to see her soon."
"Huh?"
Dawn's head tilted and he was so confused.
Iris? Where to put it?
Xiaoyun still raised his head, stretched out his hand and said, "Well, that's it."
Dawn also followed Xiaoyun's gaze. His originally agile eyes suddenly widened and he blurted out:
"Love...Iris is going to jump off the building?!"
At the highest point of the telephone pole, I saw a dark-skinned little girl standing steadily on it, with her arms spread out, her posture very leisurely, and she looked as if she was willing to die.
Under the telephone pole, there was already a crowd of police officers, all with their heads raised and their expressions more nervous than the last.
The leader, Officer Jenny, looked anxious and shouted from below:
"Little sister, don't think too hard at such a young age. We are still young. We can do anything over again."
"Is it because love is not going well? He must be a scumbag. Doesn't he know that it is illegal to violate a woman's will? He will be arrested now."
Seeing that Iris did not respond, Officer Jenny shouted again:
"It's not a matter of love. Or does it mean that Opelucid Academy didn't do well in the exam and failed?"
"It doesn't matter. Sister, please contact your teacher now. It must be that you haven't added it in the usual score. If you add it, you will definitely pass!"
At this moment, Dawn's voice came from the crowd. "That's right Iris, if you have anything you can't think of, just say it!"
"Dawn?"
Iris originally closed his eyes and enjoyed it. He slowly opened his eyes when he heard his name. When he lowered his head and looked down, he was pleasantly surprised to find that it was Xiaoyun and Dawn below. They waved and said hello excitedly:
"Dawn, and Xiaoyun, long time no see!"
Seeing the happy face of the little black girl, Dawn was even more confused.
Isn't he jumping off a building? It doesn't look like it, but he feels quite cheerful.
At this time, Officer Jenny walked over with a professional smile on her face and asked, "I'm sorry to bother you two, but you said the little girl above is Iris, right?"
"Yes, her name is Iris." Dawn nodded in response,
"OK, got it."
Officer Jenny nodded friendly, then turned to her police officer and said:
"Everyone, stop the team!"
It turned out to be the little girl who caused the trouble. Isn't this a waste of time?
As a result, many police officers organized the items neatly and neatly without any sloppiness. Only a few newcomers raised questions.
"Aren't you trying to save people? Why did you close the team when the boss said it would?"
"Sorry, you are new here and don't understand. That little girl has practiced before. Jumping on a telephone pole is like eating and drinking."
"That's right, we are just wasting our time here. We might as well check a few drunk drivers if we have this time."
In a short time, the police officer walked away cleanly and with extremely skillful movements.
At this time, Iris easily jumped down from the telephone pole, jumped in front of Dawn and Xiaoyun, and said to them excitedly:
"Why are you here? Let me tell you, Ash they are too slow. I looked up there for a long time and didn't even see anyone."
Xiaoyun looked weird and asked, "So you climbed the telephone pole just now to see Ash?"
Iris blinked and replied, "No, it's just for fun."
Later, Ash and Cilan also came here, and with them came a tall and tall uncle.
The uncle is wearing a gray-white uniform, with dark shoulder straps with gold decorations on the shoulders, and black tie-like accessories on the chest.
The overall shape appears more formal, with a style similar to that of an officer Coaching.
The uncle slowly walked forward and said with a slightly serious expression:
"Opelucid City was so lively right after I came back. You are still so noisy, Iris."
The visitor is none other than the owner of Opelucid Gym--Drayden!
He is also the one who left a shadow on Iris Excadrill.
But Iris didn't care at all if Drayden was serious. People who are familiar with him know that this is Drayden's speaking style. She smiled and said:
"Master Drayden, you don't know, but you have made a lot of progress during your travels. You are completely different from a year ago."
After nearly a year of traveling, Iris can't wait to test his growth.
So, Iris walked firmly in front of Master Drayden, his eyes full of confidence and expectation, and said loudly:
"Master Drayden, I, Covet, will have a battle with you. I hope to get more growth and experience from you!"
Seeing Iris challenge him, Master Drayden finally showed a smile on his face, gently stroked his beard, and responded happily:
"Haha, okay Iris, I admire your courage and fighting spirit. Let me see your growth over the past year."
Later, everyone followed Drayden to Opelucid Gym.
The overall shape of the Daoist temple is unique, pyramid-shaped, made of stone bricks, and has a simple and heavy appearance.
There is a door with the Poké Ball logo at the entrance, and large stone dragon heads stand on both sides.
It not only adds to the momentum of the gym, but also highlights the characteristics of Opelucid Gym.
In the battle arena!
Iris and Drayden stood at the command position one after another, while Xiaoyun and other people were eating online in the audience.
The referee announces the rules:
"The battle between gym trainer Drayden and Village of Dragons Iris is now underway. The competition rules are 2V2. If either Pokémon loses their ability to fight, the competition will be deemed a failure!"
As soon as the words fell, Iris immediately threw out Poké Ball: "Go, Excadrill!"
A red light flashed, Excadrill, who had a sharp drill on his head and was born to mine the holy body, appeared!
Drayden narrowed his eyes slightly, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and said:
"It was the Excadrill back then, but now it seems that I have regained my confidence."
"Yes, Excadrill and I will never lose today!"
Iris responded loudly, and Excadrill was infected by his fighting spirit and shouted:
"Dragon Land!"
"It's very passionate. If so, then it will be my first one!"
Drayden had a calm expression on his face, raised his arm, and threw a Poké Ball with all his strength.
"Ax roar!"
A strong and well-developed Haxorus appeared in the field.
The sharp ax teeth at the corners of the mouth were waving in the air, making a whistling sound!
"It was Haxorus who defeated me that day."
The moment Iris saw Haxorus, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination, and he shouted loudly:
"Excadrill, the time has come to test us! We must defeat it this time!"
"Use Crush Claw!"
Excadrill received the order and kicked the ground hard with his hind legs. The metal Scratch flashed with cold light, as if it was about to tear everything apart!
"The momentum is pretty good!"
Drayden nodded, and after saying that, he gave a sharp look in his eyes and shouted loudly, "Haxorus! The front is next!"
Upon hearing the instruction, Haxorus raised his arms without hesitation and faced Excadrill's attack with all his strength.
Boom!
The powerful Tackle force exploded at the moment of collision, creating a wave of air!
Haxorus actually blocked Crush Claw's attack head-on with just the strength of his arms!
Ash exclaimed, "Master Drayden is so strong, I feel like he is not on the same level as other gym owners!"
This difference in ease and ease is even stronger than Virbank Gym's Roxie.
Cilan said in a deep voice, "I have seen the performance of master Drayden in the host exchange competition. Even if we look at Pokémon League, he is in the first echelon."
Each region has a very powerful gym, and the facade of Unova is Opelucid Gym.
In contrast, Striaton Gym is pure soy sauce.
Xiaoyun added, "Besides, this Haxorus is not the main force of Master Drayden."
The Haxorus currently on the field is probably the Drayden used to deal with the gym competition, if it is the main one.
Not to mention Excadrill is tough, even diamonds can't withstand it.
Drayden then issued a new command.
"Breaking Swipe!"
Hearing this, Haxorus's tail swept violently, carrying the energy of Dragon-type, and hit Excadrill in the middle, knocking it away!
"Excadrill, stand up and use Focus Blast!"
Iris saw this and shouted hurriedly.
Excadrill quickly stabilized his body, swung his steel claw quickly, condensed a blue Energy Ball that exuded powerful energy, and threw it with all his strength!
"Haxorus, we also use Focus Blast!"
Drayden shouted not to be outdone.
Haxorus also condensed a Focus Blast, and Fling suddenly shot out!
Boom boom!
Two Focus Blast collided in the air, making a deafening roar and bursting out with dazzling light, which made everyone squint their eyes slightly.
While Haxorus was briefly distracted by the collision with Focus Blast, Iris's eyes lit up and he shouted:
"Dig!"
Excadrill's body turns into a drill, quickly digging into the ground and drilling into the ground!
"Haxorus, cheer up!"
"Right now, use Metal Claw!"
Suddenly, Excadrill's figure burst out of the ground below Haxorus, and Metal Claw, shining with golden luster, slapped Haxorus's chin hard!
Bang!
This blow hit Sturdy, and Haxorus was hit so hard that his head jerked back, and his body staggered back uncontrollably.
"Focus Blast!"
Iris Seize the opportunity and win Pursuit.
Excadrill's two claws merged, and a powerful Focus Blast condensed again, shooting directly at Haxorus.
Haxorus couldn't dodge, and his body was knocked back again by Focus Blast. He slid on the ground for a while before he stabilized his body.
"Yes, there has indeed been a lot of progress."
Drayden looked at the wonderful cooperation between Iris and Excadrill, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes.
But he quickly adjusted his state and shouted loudly:
"Haxorus, Dragon Rush!"
"Double axe!"
After Haxorus heard the command, a dazzling light of energy erupted from his body, and gradually, a huge phantom of the dragon condensed out!
Haxorus used the dragon shadow to dive towards Excadrill at an extremely fast speed!
Seeing this, Iris quickly shouted:
"Excadrill, use Drill Run quickly!"
Hearing this, Excadrill glanced, curled up, turned into a sharp drill, and faced the giant dragon shadow!
Boom boom boom!
The two energies collided fiercely. Under this energy Tackle, the dragon's shadow became so powerful that it gradually overwhelmed Drill Run.
Bang!
Excadrill flew out instantly, his body was forced to exit from the drill shape, and he fell heavily on the edge of the field.
Haxorus retreated from the shadow and stood firmly on the field.
Seeing this, the referee waved his flag. "Excadrill has lost the ability to fight!"
Iris quickly ran to Excadrill, touched its back and said:
"It's okay Excadrill, you've already worked hard, leave it to Dragonite."
After that, Iris took back Excadrill and took out another Poké Ball.
Drayden's eyes moved and he said, "Oh? In addition to Excadrill, are there other Dragon-type Pokémon that you can conquer during the trip?"
He was thinking to himself, what other trump cards does this little girl have, and he wanted to see if she could bring some surprises to him.
Iris raised his head confidently, his eyes flashing, and responded loudly:
"Yes, this is my second one!"
"Ugh...!"
With a dragon roar, a dragon Pokémon with an orange body, tiny wings, and a somewhat Dragonite appearance appeared.
However, upon closer inspection, the eyes of this Dragonite are a bit dark, not at all as gentle as the Dragonite family should be.
Drayden, who specializes in Dragon-type, also discovered this, frowned slightly and said, "Dragonite with a weird personality."
On the other side, Iris has already given the command, "Dragonite, use Blizzard!"
Hearing Iris's voice, a trace of impatience flashed in Dragonite's eyes, but he still used Blizzard.
I saw Dragonite opening its big mouth, and a burst of extremely cold air spurted out from its mouth, and a violent Blizzard was blown out of the venue instantly!
Drayden calmly issued the command, "Haxorus, use Dragon Pulse!"
Hearing the command, Haxorus opened his axe-toothed mouth, and suddenly Spit Up a purple dragon shadow exuding mysterious light!
Boom boom!
The moment the purple dragon shadow hit the ice in the sky, a dazzling white light exploded over the venue!
The two sides collided, but Blizzard quickly pushed Dragon Pulse down and hit Haxorus head-on.
Under Ice-type's blow, Haxorus's little physical strength was also taken away by the wave, and he fell to the ground helplessly!
"Haxorus has lost the ability to fight!"
