Clemont pushed up his glasses. "Alola Region's Z-Move is indeed extraordinary. This method of using the whole body's strength to concentrate is worth studying."
He knew the research just by looking at his brother, Bonnie hated that iron was not made of steel, Stomping Tantrum, and said:
"My brother's focus is too strange. The young lady below must be in a bad mood after losing the competition. As a single person, shouldn't you hurry over and show some concern to win your favor?"
With that said, Bonnie rolled up his sleeves and rushed to the field, as if he wanted to win the right to choose a mate for his brother.
"Don't mess around!"
Clemont was startled, and quickly took out the robotic arm from his backpack and pulled Bonnie back.
This girl is getting more and more fierce, and his heart can't stand it.
Ash was also infected by the fighting below. At this moment, his whole body was filled with fighting enthusiasm:
"I'm on fire! Who's going to fight me!"
"I'm coming!"
As soon as Ash finished speaking, Serena subconsciously picked up the words.
Because while traveling, Dawn once secretly told her that when chasing a boy, you should start with his hobbies, and she remembered it.
After traveling with Ash, she discovered that Ash's biggest hobby is playing against Pokémon.
So much so that when she heard that Ash was going to fight, she almost developed a conditioned reflex.
Later, Xiaoyun returned to the rest area and saw Dawn standing in the corner.
He deliberately shook the red cloak on his shoulders, walked up to her, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "How about it, do I look more handsome in the red cloak?"
Dawn came forward and reached out to touch it. "This is the duke's cloak. It's red and very beautiful. It's much more imposing than the previous marquis."
"That is."
Xiaoyun nodded with satisfaction, turned to look at Barry who had just come over, and deliberately prolonged his tone:
"I haven't seen it yet..."
"I have met your lord Duke, good luck to you."
Before he finished speaking, Barry had already bowed exaggeratedly and clasped his fists with both hands, showing a good attitude.
Xiaoyun was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing, "Well, let's go."
This guy's attitude was so good that Xiaoyun was a little embarrassed to continue teasing him.
At this time, Viola came over. "Congratulations, Xiaoyun, you were promoted from baron to duke in less than a week. Such speed is extremely rare in Kalos."
She recalled that it took her half a year to be promoted from baron to duke. She simply couldn't do a high-intensity battle like Xiaoyun in one week.
"Haha, thank you."
Xiaoyun smiled faintly, but was not proud of it.
In fact, to be honest, as long as there are enough opponents, any Elite Four can do it.
It's just that Battle Chateau is mainly about socializing, and no one treats this place as a dungeon like him.
"By the way, why haven't you seen the owner Grant?"
"Isn't this right..."
Viola subconsciously turned around, only to find that the dark figure who had been following her just now had disappeared.
Go ahead, this guy is running really fast.
As everyone knows, Grant slipped away quietly the moment he heard that Xiaoyun was promoted to Duke.
Now the two have the same title. If the censor gets itchy and wants to compete with an opponent of the same level, wouldn't he be in trouble?
Ayaka blocked the gun just now, but no one will help him this time!
Run away, must run away!
Even if you really want to lose, you have to lose in your own gym, at least you can have some home field advantage.
While everyone was chatting, Ash couldn't wait to throw out the white gloves Karen's butler gave him, preparing to find a new opponent.
I have played against Serena so many times in private that I can guess her moves with my eyes closed.
But as soon as his glove was thrown out, it was firmly caught by a white hand.
Okay, still Serena.
According to the rules of Battle Chateau, whoever picks up the gloves will immediately establish a battle agreement.
"Go, Froakie!"×2
After a while, Ash and Serena threw Poké Ball almost simultaneously.
Two white lights flashed, and two almost identical Froakie appeared on both sides of the arena.
Xiaoyun stood in the stands, looking at the two Froakie below.
I thought that this future frog god now looks no different from the ordinary Froakie. Sure enough, the potential is slowly being discovered.
"Froakie, Water Pulse!"
Ash was the first to give the order. He knew Serena very well. According to past habits, she would definitely use the same moves as him.
I saw Froakie immediately condensed a blue water polo and shot it towards the opposite side with force.
But this time, Serena suddenly changed the command, "Froakie, use Double Team!"
As soon as she finished speaking, her Froakie figure flashed and instantly split into five or six identical clones, scattering in different directions.
Water Pulse hits a clone, and the clone immediately transforms into Bubble and dissipates.
"It actually missed?"
Ash is a little surprised, Serena why did he suddenly change his tactics today?
"Use Quick Attack!"
Serena's command came again, and six Froakie moved at the same time, turning into six afterimages and rushing towards Ash's Froakie.
"Use bubble interception!"
Ash quickly ordered, and his Froakie immediately spit out a string of crystal bubbles and shot them towards the afterimage.
Bang bang!
The bubble hits the clone, but if you look closely, you can see that it still hits the main body of Froakie.
"How come you don't have a real body?"
Ash frowned, Serena suddenly felt something different today.
"It's in heaven."
Serena reminded with a smile.
Froakie took advantage of the gap when Bubble intercepted the clone and quietly jumped into the air.
Ash looked up, and sure enough, Serena's Froakie was looking condescendingly at his Froakie.
A confident smile appeared on Serena's lips. This trick was taught to her by Xiaoyun before going on stage, and she also said that Ash would definitely fall for it.
The gold content of Instructor Yun is still too high.
"What! Froakie, use Water Pulse!"
Ash quickly ordered, and his Froakie immediately raised his head, gathering water balls to prepare for a counterattack, but Serena's command also sounded at the same time.
"We also use Water Pulse!"
"Quack!"
Serena Froakie's Water Pulse has taken shape, and it slams out with a sound of breaking through the air!
Bang!
The future frog god was beaten back and forth, and was almost thrown out
"Why did Serena suddenly become so powerful."
Clemont said in surprise. He remembered Serena's performance when she challenged the gym before. If she had such commanding ability at that time, she would not have lost.
Xiaoyun showed a teachable expression beside him.
He has already figured out Ash. This guy is most at ease with familiar things.
He fights Serena every day, and his continuous victories have long since developed a fixed mindset. Sudden changes on the spot will inevitably catch him off guard.
"For the final blow, use Water Pulse!"
A glimmer of understanding flashed in Serena's eyes, and her Froakie condensed the water polo again, hitting Ash's Froakie hard.
This time, Frog God had no time to dodge and was directly smashed into the air by Water Pulse, flying out of the periphery of the arena.
Although he has not lost his ability to fight, according to the rules of Battle Chateau, if Pokémon falls out of the field, it will be deemed a failure.
"I lost..."
Ash scratched his head. Although he was a little reluctant, he still praised sincerely, "Serena, your command just now was so awesome! Especially that Double Team plus Sucker Punch in the air, I didn't react at all!"
"Actually... it's not that great."
Feeling Ash's sincere praise, Serena's cheeks instantly turned red, and she lowered her head in embarrassment.
Yeah! It seems like you are right to do what you like.
Serena further strengthened this idea. Since Ash's dream is to become Pokémon Master's man, then she will work hard to become Pokémon Master.
Hehe, perfect!
Xiaoyun, who had achieved the Duke achievement and called Serena, did not stay too long in Battle Chateau. After simply saying goodbye to his friends, he and Dawn continued on the journey of Kalos.
A few days later, the two of them entered a valley by mistake. Following the vague stone steps, they discovered a dilapidated ruins deep in the valley.
The broken walls are covered with moss, the weathered stone carvings are blurred, and there is a thick smell of dust everywhere.
"So, are we lost again?"
Dawn poked a stone pillar several people tall next to her, and her intuition told her that they were on the wrong path again.
Kalos There are so many abandoned ruins.
Xiaoyun glanced at the dilapidated stone gate, then turned to look at Rotom, who was a little guilty next to him. "Master Luo, what do you think about getting lost?"
Does this navigation have its own ideas?
"No, no, no."
Seeing Xiaoyun looking over, Rotom, who felt guilty, immediately assumed the posture of an expert, walked slowly around the ruins, and said slowly:
"This place is simple and mysterious, with beautiful mountains and clear waters. Just looking at the outside, it is full of history. At a glance..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a muffled bang and a loose stone above the stone door suddenly fell down, hitting Rotom where Levitate was just now.
Rotom froze in the air for a second, then turned around in a circle without changing his expression, and his tone became more determined. "It looks like a good place at first sight! There must be a treasure hidden inside!"
"Um... are you sure we won't be crushed by rocks when we go in, or we won't be trapped in there and won't be able to get out?"
Xiaoyun raised his eyebrows, seriously doubting the authenticity of Rotom's words.
The ruins looked in tatters, even the door was about to collapse, and it didn't look like it was hiding anything good.
Seeing the trainer doubting himself, Rotom continued to lie, "Look, you don't understand this. The more places like this, the more good things they have!"
"For example, the murals of ancient Pokémon, or lost evolutionary props, etc. are all possible..."
But Dawn became interested. She pulled Xiaoyun's sleeve, her eyes shining brightly:
"Forget it, we're already here, why don't we go in and have a look? What if we really find something good?"
Even if it doesn't happen, just think of it as an adventure, it's better than wandering around in the valley."
Xiaoyun looked at Dawn's expectant eyes, then looked at the dangerous door, nodded and said:
"Okay, you can go in, but you follow me closely and pay attention to the top of your head so as not to get hit by rocks."
"OK!"
Rotom quietly breathed a sigh of relief on the side.
Fortunately, I managed to get over it, and the secret was almost revealed.
This ruins looks unreliable, it would be strange if there is something...
Just as the two were about to enter the ruins, a man wearing a green coat, a mushroom head, and black-rimmed glasses suddenly walked out from behind a nearby stone pillar and blocked their way.
His lenses reflected the sunlight, making it difficult to see the expression behind his eyes.
"Both of you, please stay."
"Hmm? What advice do you have?"
Xiaoyun stopped and looked at the other party warily.
The man with glasses pushed up his glasses, his eyes fell on the white bracelet on Dawn's wrist, and a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth:
"My name is Arnold. If I read correctly, what this lady is wearing is Key Stone, right?"
He smiles so obscenely and doesn't look like a good person.
Xiaoyun felt a chill in his heart, and calmly stood half a step forward, blocking Dawn behind him, and said in a cold tone:
"So? This has nothing to do with you, right?"
Arnold seemed not to hear the warning from Xiaoyun, and continued, "So, I want to have a Pokémon battle with this lady."
"If you lose, miss, how about you hand over your Key Stone and the Mega Stone on your Pokémon to me?"
"You want to steal my Mega Stone?"
Dawn frowned, with obvious displeasure in his tone.
Her Mega Stone was Present given to her by Xiaoyun. How could she give it to someone else so easily!
Xiaoyun was even more surprised.
He didn't expect that Kalos's pursuit of Mega Stone would reach this point, so he directly bet against Evolution Stone.
Arnold waved his hand and explained in a polite manner, "No, no, no, you two have misunderstood. This is not a robbery, but a bet! It is a fair battle agreement that complies with the law and cannot be confused."
It's civilization's fault...Xiaoyun continued, "Since it's a bet, what if you lose? What bet can you put out?"
"Similarly, if both of you win, then the Mega Stone in my hand belongs to both of you."
Arnold paused, then looked at Xiaoyun, with a hint of Taunt in his tone
"Of course, if this lady feels that she is not strong enough and dare not take up the challenge, she can also let this gentleman do it for her. I don't mind."
So confident?
Xiaoyun's doubts deepened. Seeing that Arnold looked like he was sure of victory, he was a little unsure of the other party's details.
To be so sure, one must either be extremely powerful or have something to rely on.
"Dawn, why not let me..."
To be on the safe side, Xiaoyun prepared to end his life, but before he could finish speaking, he was gently stopped by Dawn.
"Okay, I promise you!"
She was not doing it for Arnold's Mega Stone, but she wanted to take this opportunity to verify her own strength.
Since mastering Mega Evolution, she has never met an opponent who can also perform Mega Evolution!
"That's really great."
Arnold's eyes lit up.
His identity is naturally not simple. He was one of the trainers who was defeated by Alain in the original work for ten consecutive victories.
And his appearance here this time is no accident, he came specifically for Xiaoyun.
Challenging Dawn is just a pretext. His real purpose is to induce the special Mega Evolution fluctuation in Xiaoyun.
If Xiaoyun can be forced to take action again, he can observe and collect data at close range.
This is the special existence mentioned by Master Lysandre.
What, you said you lost the game and brought Mega Stone into it?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
What kind of strength can a mere little girl have? Let's see how she can resolve the battle in two and a half minutes!
