The next day, early morning.
Although the snow had stopped last night, the whole city was still immersed in a silvery silence.
Pokémon Center There are fine ice crystals on the glass window, and the heating in the house is turned on at full speed, which is in sharp contrast with the ice and snow outside the window.
The two came down the stairs.
Xiaoyun's short black hair is neatly styled and open casually, her face is full of refreshment, and she seems to be carrying the wind when she walks.
Don't ask, asking means harmony.
Dawn followed half a step behind him, wearing a light blue down jacket and a white scarf, with rosy cheeks.
She was adjusting her cuffs as she went downstairs. Her expression made Early Bird Nurse Joy on duty couldn't help but take a second look.
Like a flower that has been carefully watered, it blooms particularly beautifully.
"Morning everyone!"
Xiaoyun waved and said hello, his voice full of vitality.
Then his eyes fell on Ash sitting on the sofa, and his brows raised slightly.
Ash... There's something wrong.
The usual Ash, not to mention the high-spirited young man, is also full of "Pikachu let's go" level Hustle.
But today, he was leaning on the sofa. There were faint dark circles under his eyes, his hair was a little messy, and his whole person exuded a rare aura of malaise.
On the other hand, Pikachu is in great spirits, holding an apple and gnawing happily.
"What's wrong? Didn't you sleep well last night?"
Xiaoyun walked over, sat down next to him, and looked at him carefully.
Tsk, tsk, tsk, this is like being sucked by Xiaoqian.
Ash rubbed his eyes and slapped Yawn:
"Ah, no, I'm just a little sleepy."
In fact, he tossed and turned last night until midnight, and all he could think about was Serena.
Just like hitting the Attract move, the effect is outstanding.
"Good morning everyone."
Serena also came down from upstairs at this time, with a gentle smile on his face, and everything seemed to be as usual.
She held two cups of hot milk in her hand and handed one to Ash naturally. "I want Milk Drink when I get up in the morning."
"Thank you, thank you..." Ash took the cup and accidentally touched Serena's hand with his finger. They both trembled at the same time and almost spilled the milk.
"Be careful!"
Serena quickly held the cup, and their hands folded together again.
Time froze for two seconds.
Pikachu tilted his head aside.
You don't avoid people in broad daylight, right?
Xiaoyun understood instantly and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
Oops, it seems they were not the only ones to make progress last night.
Bonnie and Clemont also came down from upstairs.
Bonnie was jumping up and down, and the two horses swayed along with the movements. "Today is sister Dawn's gym competition, I'm really looking forward to it."
Clemont glanced at Ash, and the lenses reflected light. "Yeah, but I'm looking forward to the other one more."
Xiaoyun looked at the people. "Then shall we set off soon?"
As soon as the gym competition was mentioned, Ash seemed to be injected with energy and stood up suddenly. "Of course we start now, Gym Challenge, gogogo!"
The dark circles are still there, but my eyes have brightened up.
Sure enough, the battle is Ash's resurrection potion.
"Then let's go."
Snowbelle Gym.
It is still the familiar ice battlefield, and the gym leader Wulfric is already standing in the trainer command area.
Just listen to the other party's voice like a bell:
"Xiaoyun, you are finally here! I can't wait!"
Xiaoyun walked to the edge of the venue and smiled politely:
"The protagonist now is Dawn, and our battle is still ahead."
Wulfric laughed loudly, "Okay! Let's warm up first!"
In his eyes, Dawn's combat power is estimated to be about the same as yesterday's Serena, and it can only be used to warm up.
The referee stepped forward. "Snowbelle Gym Challenge, the challenger Dawn will face the stadium leader Wulfric. The rules are 3 vs. 3. Only the challenger can replace Pokémon,"
Dawn didn't protest and calmly took out a Poké Ball.
She wants to slap her in the face with her strength.
"Go for it!"
Bang! What appeared on the ice was a strange-looking Pokémon.
It has a dark purple body, like a combination of seaweed and poisonous dragon, its head is like a rotten crown, and its body is surrounded by poisonous Bubble.
It is Dragalge that has recently evolved from Dawn.
On the other side, Wulfric also took out a ball from the ball sleeve on his waist and threw it.
"Dragalge, then I am it."
However, Poké Ball of Wulfric has just been thrown out, and Dawn has already issued the command:
"Dragalge, Toxic Spikes!"
"Algae!"
Dragalge opened its mouth and spit out a large amount of deep purple Toxic Spikes all over the venue.
As soon as Wulfric and Pokémon hit the ground, they were immediately poisoned and fell directly into a box.
"Oh? Spreading poison at the beginning, a very classic tactic."
Wulfric raised the corners of his mouth, looking calm as if "I've never seen anything like this".
Such stability surprised Dawn.
Are you so sure?
Bang!
Poké Ball is opened, and Pokémon inside does not fall to the ground, but is suspended in the air.
A circular Pokémon composed of a black stone core looks like a huge head, with cold air emanating from it, and its grinning mouth revealing sharp teeth.
Glalie!
"Protect."(That's it?)
It is suspended half a meter above the ground, looking down at Toxic Spikes with one eye jokingly.
Toxic Spikes? This kind of move can only bully low-level Pokémon who can't fly.
"Why is this so?"
Dawn pursed his lips, his expression a little depressed.
It's rare to play a dirty trick, but the opponent's Glalie comes with Levitate and Toxic Spikes, which doesn't help.
No wonder he is so confident.
In the audience seat, Serena tilted his hair and asked:
"Then Glalie remains suspended, so Toxic Spikes is useless."
Xiaoyun explained, "It's just useless for Glalie, but it can affect the subsequent Pokémon. After all, there are not many Ice-type who can fly."
Unless you send three Glalie or Froslass.
Ash pressed his chin. "Toxic Spikes can't touch the ground, why not just hit Glalie on the ground?"
Clemont thought, "It seems... nothing is wrong."
Xiaoyun patted Ash on the shoulder. "It has to be you."
Instead of racking your brains, you might as well come up with an idea and fight with these talented monsters like you!
On the field, Wulfric smiled and waved his hand:
"Glalie, Hail!"
"Protect!"
Glalie raised his head and let out a long roar, and the temperature in the gym suddenly dropped again.
Fine Hail fell down and quickly covered the entire venue.
Dragalge frowned.
This kind of environment is really annoying, it doesn't like it.
"Next, Avalanche!"
A large amount of ice and snow gathered around Glalie's body, forming a huge snow wave, rushing towards Dragalge like a white tsunami!
This move is more powerful in Hail weather, and it is extremely fast!
Dawn's eyes flashed, and he advanced instead of retreating. "Dragalge, Venoshock! Aim at the center of Avalanche!"
Dragalge Spit Up's purple-black viscous venom collided head-on with Avalanche's ice and snow!
The venom exploded in the snow waves, but the momentum of Avalanche only decreased slightly and continued to press!
She raised her right hand and snapped her fingers, "Dragalge, Toxic!"
Then Dragalge opened his mouth and Spit Up was filled with a thick purple-black venom, but Toxic was poured directly on it!
But Glalie was already on guard and used a flexible mid-air drift to avoid it. However, the venom exploded in mid-air and turned into a poisonous mist, which mixed into Hail!
Toxic mixed with ice and snow, forming a strange purple-black snow mist that spread rapidly.
"I actually used my Hail to turn the weather into a poisonous mist diffusion medium..."
Wulfric touched his chin and looked seriously.
Watching the poisonous mist spread little by little, Dawn put his hands on his hips and said, "Using the venue is the basic skill of a trainer."
She also knows how to play a little dirty.
Wulfric Detect realized his intention and laughed loudly, "How naive! Do you think the poisonous fog can block everything?"
"Glalie, raise it! Then use Avalanche!"
Glalie rose rapidly, easily avoiding the poisonous fog, then raised its head and let out a long roar!
A huge wave of snow gathered in front of it again, rushing towards Dragalge! It was unstoppable!
In the audience, Ash had already stood up, clenching his fists. "This power...Dragalge is dangerous!"
Serena covered her mouth nervously.
Dawn was extremely calm, and at the moment when Avalanche was about to swallow up the poisonous mist, he suddenly gave the order:
"Dragalge, dive into the poisonous fog, Acid Armor!"
What?!
In everyone's shocked eyes, Dragalge did not dodge or defend, but plunged into the poisonous mist it created by itself!
Boom!
Avalanche slammed down, completely covering and freezing the poisonous fog area!
Ice and poison mix to form a strange purple-black ice layer, like a huge poison ice cake.
"Hide in the venom and use the venom as a buffer?"
Wulfric's pupils shrank and he immediately reacted.
Dragalge is a poisonous dragon, and the poisonous mist is to it what water is to fish.
Before he finished speaking, a sudden change occurred!
The purple-black ice layer frozen by Avalanche suddenly shook violently, and countless cracks appeared on the surface.
Swish, swish, swish!
Then dozens of sharp poisonous ice spikes broke through the ice and stabbed Glalie in the sky from all angles!
"Glalie, hide quickly!" Wulfric shouted urgently.
Glalie hurriedly dodged, but in the meantime, he was still scratched by several poisonous ice stings.
The venom quickly penetrated into the body, and purple-black lines began to spread!
"Oops, I'm poisoned!"
Wulfric's face darkened.
"It's not over yet!"
Dawn took advantage of Pursuit, raising his right hand high. "Dragalge, Venoshock!"
Boom!
The purple-black ice exploded!
Dragalge rose into the sky from under the ice, covered in venom and broken ice, like a poisonous dragon rising out of the sea!
It twisted its body in the air, opened its mouth Spit Up and the sticky purple Black Sludge waves shot towards the poisoned and stiff Glalie like Hydro Pump!
Glalie wanted to hide, but the Paralysis feeling caused by the poison made it slow down for half a beat!
Pfft--!
The venom smeared Glalie's face, hitting all of them!
"Glalie!"
Wulfric shouted.
Venoshock has the same effect as Avalanche, its power is doubled when poisoned!
Glalie rolled in pain in the air, trying to get rid of the venom, but the venom had seeped into the gaps in the ice crystals. The purple-black lines on its body became deeper and deeper, and the poisoned state continued to erode its physical strength.
For a moment, it seemed as if it saw its mother waving to it.
Dawn does not give a chance to breathe, and continues to command:
"Dragalge, Poison Tail!"
Dragalge landed on the ground, its tail swung out like a poisonous scorpion, the tip glowing with purple light.
"Glalie, Headbutt!"
Wulfric finally shouted.
Boom!
Glalie barely used Headbutt to block, but his physical strength was greatly reduced by the poison, and his strength was not at the same level at all.
Dragalge flicked his tail and increased his strength.
Bang!
Glalie was suddenly like a kicked football, hitting the ice wall of the gym, slowly sliding down, and his eyes turned into mosquito-repellent incense.
The referee raised the flag. "Glalie has lost the ability to fight! Dragalge wins!"
Bonnie jumped up and cheered, "Yeah! Sister Dawn is so awesome!"
Clemont murmured, "It turns out it can be like this, using your own poisonous mist as a cover to trigger Acid Armor at the same time. It's so exciting."
Wulfric took back Glalie and looked up at Dawn, his eyes filled with admiration. "Venom merges with ice and snow to create a poisonous ice environment. Miss Dawn, I have to say, your tactics are really unconstrained."
It has to be that today's young people know how to play.
Dawn gasped slightly, but smiled brightly:
"Thank you for the compliment, Dragalge also works very hard."
Dragalge returned to her side with proud eyes.
Humph, it has just started to show its strength!
Wulfric was amused by the ridicule of this Dragalge, shook his head, and took out the second Poké Ball:
"Then, my second one! Beartic!"
Poké Ball threw it, it was still a huge white giant bear.
"Freeze!"
Beartic looked up to the sky and roared, and the sound wave shook Icicle Spear on the roof!
"It's the Beartic from yesterday."
Serena whispered that this Beartic was a ruthless character who took down her two Pokémons in a row.
However, Beartic had just finished howling two sentences and was about to strike a pose when Toxic Spikes rose up.
Pfft.
Purple-black poisonous gas rose from the soles of its feet and quickly spread throughout its body.
"... frozen?" (Huh?)
Beartic looked down at his feet, then looked up at Wulfric, his expression changed from majestic to confused.
Head, this ground... is a bit prickly.
"Uh, Toxic Spikes, I forgot about this."
Wulfric patted his forehead and shouted:
"Beartic, don't worry about the poison, let's fight it quickly! Blizzard is the winner!"
He was already poisoned anyway, so he could only resolve the battle quickly before his stamina was exhausted.
"Freeze..."
Beartic took a deep breath, its chest and abdomen swelled visibly, and then it suddenly lowered its head, and from its mouth Spit Up an extremely violent ice and snow storm!
Hoo ho ho--!
Dragalge is Dragon-type after all. Facing such a powerful Blizzard, he was suppressed on the spot.
"Beartic, Icicle Crash!"
Wulfric did not give Dawn any chance to breathe.
Beartic slapped his palms heavily on the ice!
Boom boom boom!!
Dozens of thick icicles fell from the sky at extremely fast speeds! Justice comes from heaven!
"Dragalge, Dragon Pulse!"
Dragalge Spit Up Dragon Pulse immediately, quickly shattering the icicles above his head.
"That's it now, Ice Punch!"
Wulfric clenched his fist and waved forward.
Beartic's right fist was covered with a thick layer of ice, and his entire arm swelled as he rushed forward.
Dragalge had no time to react and was punched away by Beartic.
Bang--!
Dragalge, like Glalie just now, hit the gym wall and slowly slid down.
The referee announced, "Dragalge has lost the ability to fight! Beartic wins!"
Dawn took back Dragalge and gently stroked Poké Ball: "Thank you for your hard work, Dragalge."
On the other side, although Beartic won, his physical strength was gradually lost and the poisoned state had taken effect.
"Poison is a really difficult attribute."
Wulfric looked at the state of Beartic and frowned.
On the other side, Dawn lifts the second Poké Ball.
"Please, Gyarados!"
"Roar!"
Accompanied by a deafening dragon roar, Red Gyarados spiraled out, its red scales shining brightly in the snowy light.
