Pokémon Padea Adventure: The Journey Continues

The opponent's crystalline Mukeying, under the influence of the poisoned state, the aura erupting from his body became stronger and stronger...

Facing the powerful danger, there was no trace of worry on the faces of Xiaozhi and Tulong. Instead, they were confident and followed Xiaozhi's orders.

"Earth Dragon Festival, use the powerful drill!"

The earth dragon carries its back to the ground, its drill-shaped tail raised high forward, and its tip points directly at the Muke Eagle in front.

The momentum erupting from both sides, accompanied by their crystalline bodies, refracted bright points of light, shining in all directions, emitting a dazzling light.

Trainers from both sides said at the same time.

"Right now, come on!"

"Go ahead and defeat the opponent!"

For a moment, the figures of the two Pokémon ejected instantly, and the two bright figures collided violently. The earth dragon pierced the opponent with its sharp body parts that rapidly rotated, while the Mook Eagle flapped its wings and used its sharp... The bird's beak collides.

Two huge forces intertwined, and the powerful impact set off hurricanes in the surroundings. The collision of this force seemed to overturn this nostalgic treasure restaurant.

After persisting for a while, sweat oozed slightly from Mukeying's forehead, and a trace of fatigue appeared on Tulongjiejie's face. For now, Tulongjiejie, who had been hurt by more attacks, seemed to be continuing. Time is more limited.

Xiaozhi encouraged the earth dragon Jiejie who was in the confrontation.

"Tulong Jiejie, I believe you can definitely defeat the opponent! Looking back on our journey along the way, how your "Powerful Drill" attack became more powerful in battle after battle, defeating opponents one after another. …”

Under Xiaozhi's guidance, Tulong Jiejie also began to recall the past of traveling with Xiaozhi, and learned the "Powerful Drill" skill in the trial of the "Celebration Scroll". In the battle with Pina's Gedao Ertianxing team car, the use of skills has been improved, and he has become a "true dragon", evolving from the earth dragon younger brother to the earth dragon Jiejie.

In Tulong Jiejie's recollection, the "Powerful Drill" skill contains the experience of growing up with Xiaozhi. When Tulong Jiejie uses "Powerful Drill" to attack, it is still difficult for any opponent. This sharp blade cannot be broken into pieces.

Suddenly, strong power gradually emerged from Tulong Jiejie's body. Mukeying, who was still able to handle it with ease, now also felt the strength of Tulong Jiejie, and his ability to resist the use of "hard support" also changed. It was getting harder and harder, and I felt like I was almost unable to withstand the opponent's attacks.

A look of shock appeared on Aoki's originally tired face.

"How..., how could it be!"

In Aoki's eyes, in a daze, he felt that the figure of the earth dragon was getting bigger and bigger, and the spiral hurricane formed by the rotating attack. At this time, the diameter range felt wider and wider, and it was about to kill Muke Ying. submerged.

"Come on, Tulong Jiejie!"

"Jie..., Jiejie!"

Roaring, the earth dragon marched forward bravely, like a huge wave swallowing up the figure of Muke Ying. The "Power Drill" attack just passed through the opponent. The earth dragon slowly stopped spinning and landed. This formation was in the treasure cafeteria. The hurricane finally stopped.

At the same time, the two Pokémon standing back to back were released from the Crystallized state at the same time, and the dark clouds on the ceiling dispersed. The incandescent lights above illuminated the field, and the bodies of both Pokémon stood quietly.

Tu Long Jiejie's body first felt a burst of pain, and then his raised head lowered. Just when people thought Mukeying had won, Mukeying's originally standing body collapsed to the ground with a "bang" and he lost his ability to fight.

the referee shouted.

"Muke Ying lost his ability to fight, and Tu Longjie won, so the winner of this gym challenge is Xiaozhi!"

"Wow……"

As soon as the referee finished speaking, the surrounding diners burst into loud cheers and warm applause, congratulating Xiaozhi and Tulong without any hesitation.

Xiaoqing and Paipa who were nearby also silently congratulated Xiaozhi. After all, the victory in this gym battle was also of great significance to their subsequent development.

After learning that he had won, Tulong Jiejie's body slowly slid down, and just when he was about to fall to the ground, Xiaozhi and Pikachu quickly came to Tulongjiejie's side with quick eyes and hands, and both supported Tulong. Sectional body.

Tulong Jiejie raised his head slightly and looked at Xiaozhi and Pikachu who were supporting him. His tired body and mind were comforted after being riddled with holes.

Xiaozhi said softly.

"Well done Tulongjiejie, thank you for being here..."

Aoki looked at Xiaozhi, Pikachu and Tulong who were loving each other in front of him. He first took back the incapacitated Mukehawk into the Poké Ball. After saying thank you, he walked towards Xiaozhi and the others.

Although the surrounding diners were still unsatisfied, they slowly dispersed. Xiaoqing and Paipa who were nearby also stepped forward to greet them. Aoki walked up to Xiaozhi and the others and said.

"Congratulations, Xiaozhi! Your Earth Dragon is very powerful, tough and powerful... Okay! Let's not stay here anymore. Let's go to the bar first. No matter we win or lose after the battle, I'm used to eating a lot. A plate full of rice balls from Bao Canteen. Also, the wooden boards in the canteen cannot withstand our torment like this, so let the staff in Bao Canteen and Jinhui Gym clean up and restore it to its original state!"

Xiaozhi and the others looked around and noticed the devastation all over the ground, as well as Kenji's crying face not far away, feeling sorry for the damage to the cafeteria.

Arriving at the bar, Xiaozhi and his party sat down side by side with Aoki. In front of them was a plate full of sumptuous rice balls.

Aoki said.

"Everyone, please try it. The rice balls after the battle are the most delicious..."

After finishing speaking, Aoki clasped his hands together, which was his usual action before tasting food. On the other hand, Xiaozhi and Pikachu took the rice balls in one hand and were about to eat them hungrily.

This scene was captured by Xiaoqing with a camera and regarded as a commemorative photo of Xiaozhi's victory over Jinhui Gym.

After a while of feasting, Xiaozhi and the others' exhausted bodies also recovered. Then, Aoki took out a Jinhui gym badge, handed it to Xiaozhi's hand, and said.

"Xiao Zhi, you are so awesome, so awesome that my expression disappeared. I leave this Jinhui Gym badge to you..."

Xiaozhi took it with both hands, raised the badge happily, and said loudly.

"Great, I got the Jinhui badge!"

……

Then, the words of both parties became silent. No one was willing to take the initiative first. The eyes of Xiaozhi and Xiaoqing unconsciously drifted to Pipa's face. Pipa straightened his sitting posture. He mustered up the courage and was about to ask Aoki about what happened in the giant pit of Padea.

"green……"

Unexpectedly, Aoki was the first to speak.

"I learned about you from Xin Li and Popi. As you know, they and I are from the same organization, which is the Padia Alliance. I am also the gym leader of Jinhui Town. At the same time, he is also an employee of the alliance.”

"The Zero Research Institute in the Padia Pit has always been a secret of the alliance. Although I boasted before the battle with Xiaozhi, I said that I would tell you about the secrets in the pit after the battle. However, I also said that the extent to which this secret is exposed will be determined by my mood after the battle."

"Okay, do you have anything to ask?"

After hearing this, Xiaozhi and his party felt relieved and waited for Pipa to ask about the whereabouts of his parents.

"Mr. Aoki, I want to ask you what happened in the Zero Research Institute, and..."

Pipa, who was originally eager to know the answer, became choked up during the questioning process. Xiaozhi and Xiaoqing were helpless. They could not do anything for Pipa and could only look at him silently. After Pipa swallowed, she slowly said what she had not finished just now.

"...My parents—Olin and Fotu, where have they gone? Are they still in the Padian Pit?"

Aoki felt a little at a loss when asked by Pipa. As an employee of the Padian Alliance, he certainly knew that the Pipa in front of him was the son of the two doctors. Although he was fully prepared, When he really faced Pipa, his eyes still inadvertently dodge.

After Pipa raised the question, Aoki stuttered for a long time, still unable to say a word... Then he changed his mind, faced Pipa and the others, and spoke.

"Olin and Dr. Fotu have always been the mainstay scientific researchers in our alliance. Regarding the research in the Padia Crater, they are the ones who know the secrets best. Area Zero is an extremely dangerous place. It is filled with all kinds of absurd Pokémon. After Orin and Futu disappeared ten years ago, the giant pit was designated as an "S-level" dangerous place by the alliance..."

Aoki began to hesitate.

"I'm sorry, even I don't know the whereabouts of your parents. The president of the alliance, Ye Ci, and a few people have always known about it."

Hearing Aoki's answer, Xiaozhi and Xiaoqing looked lonely and felt that their faces were about to sink. On the other hand, there was not much emotional reaction on Pipa's face. After ten years of growing up alone, the disappointment had already faded. Filled his mind throughout his childhood.

Pipa's face sank first, and then asked again.

"Mr. Aoki, I know that there is an entrance and exit into the Padia Crater in Jinhui Town. Please tell me, where is that entrance?"

Aoki looked at Pipa, who had a serious look on his face. Although he knew the answer to this question, he still turned his face to one side and said with a terrifyingly ugly expression.

"Sorry, no comment!"

After receiving this answer, before Piper had time to react, Xiaozhi jumped out first and asked in an aggrieved manner.

"Mr. Aoki, why do you have no comment? Didn't you promise us a long time ago that after the battle is over, you will tell us the answers we want to know?"

Faced with Xiaozhi's question, Aoki's face became even more frighteningly gloomy at this time, and he continued to answer.

"Yes, I said that! But I also said that the degree of confidentiality depends on my mood. My answer is, sorry, no comment!"

"How could this happen! You..."

Even Xiao Qing, who had always been quiet and quiet, became excited and joined Xiao Zhi's questioning team. The sound of fierce arguments attracted the sideways glances of the surrounding diners.

The silent Aoki, the excited Xiaozhi and Xiaoqing, and the onlookers were all in a stalemate that was getting more and more intense... At this moment, Pipa suddenly spoke.

"Xiao Zhi, Xiao Qing, that's enough!"

After hearing what Pipa said, Xiaozhi and Xiaoqing unconsciously took a step forward due to the excited argument, and looked back at Pipa with worried faces.

After Pipa breathed a long sigh of relief, he spoke.

"Thank you for worrying about me, but let's not embarrass Mr. Aoki and affect the surrounding diners..."

Then, Pipa took a step forward and came to Aoki, bowed and said.

"Thank you Mr. Aoki for your hospitality and for answering many of our questions. As for what we cannot say, we will not insist on anything that cannot be said. My companions and I will continue to travel. I would like to submit my resignation to you..."

The door to the treasure cafeteria opened, and Aoki escorted Xiaozhi and his party out of there.

Seeing that Pipa's mood was stable, while Xiaozhi and Xiaoqing's brows were so furrowed that they could kill a fly, Aoki said.

"Thank you for your understanding. Regarding what happened in Area Zero, the Padian Alliance will definitely solve it perfectly and give you a satisfactory answer... Goodbye everyone, I wish you a safe journey!"

Watching Xiaozhi and his party leave, Aoki returned to the treasure cafeteria. Xiaozhi and Xiaoqing, who had walked some distance away, looked back at Aoki after he entered. The two people following Pipa looked at each other, and then both of them shook their heads not knowing what to do...

After silently following Pipa for a distance, Xiaozhi mustered up the courage to speak to Pipa.

"Pipa, where are we going?"

……

Pipa, who was walking at the front, grabbed the straps of his backpack with both hands. He was carrying a huge travel bag and remained silent and did not answer Xiaozhi. Xiaozhi and the others couldn't see Pipa's face at this time, so they didn't know what his expression was at this time.

Xiaozhi and Xiaoqing, who were worried about Pipa's mental state, could not suppress their emotions for a long time. Xiaoqing asked Pipa again.

"Um, Pipa... are you okay?"

After asking questions to no avail, Xiaozhi and the others who were following them sighed silently, and walked a few more steps... Pipa suddenly stopped, and Xiaozhi and Xiaoqing who were following behind almost stopped suddenly. He hit a full chest.

"What..., what's wrong? Pipa!"

Ash, who was startled by Pipa's sudden stop, asked in surprise.

At this time, Pipa still didn't have too many emotional reactions. After looking at Xiaozhi and the others, he seemed to have made a major decision and said words that made Xiaozhi and Xiaoqing's heads roar.

"Xiao Zhi, Xiao Qing, I have decided... I want to withdraw from the adventure team of the three of us and let's part ways."
