Pokémon Padea Adventure: The Journey Continues

Huangbo looked at the two Kentaro who were knocked away and returned to their own field, and couldn't help but praise Xiaozhi.

"Well done, Xiaozhi! This makes me interested in fighting for you!"

Having said that, Huangbo gave another order to the two Kentaro lying on the ground.

"Kentai, Kenro, are you okay? Get up quickly, the fight isn't over yet!"

At Huangbo's call, the two Kentaro slowly stood up, breathing heavily, and stomping the ground with their four hooves to encourage themselves to cheer up.

"Lululu..., Kentai! Kenro..."

Looking at the two Kenshin who stood up, he shook his head, and the three tails behind him whipped him hard, which increased his fighting spirit. After he regained his spirit, he heard Xiaozhi on the opposite side giving orders again.

"Scorching Crocodile, use Dig on Kenro! Surge Duck, use Water Stream Sunder on Kentay!"

The Scorching Crocodile dived into the ground first, and after the Leaping Duck was wrapped by the water flow, it once again rode the water flow towards Kentai.

Huang Bo immediately gave orders to resist.

"Kenro, use Rock Slide on the incoming Surge Duck!"

When Duckling's "Water Stream Explosion" attack was about to fall on Kenta, Kenro next to him took the lead and slammed the big rock into Duckling.

The route of the Jumping Duck, which was controlling the water flow, was blocked by a falling rock. The Jumping Duck was hit by the "Rockslide" attack because it failed to dodge in time and fell heavily to the ground.

"Gada..."

"Damn it! Jumping Duck, what happened to you..."

Seeing Duckling being hit and falling to the ground, Xiaozhi asked Duckling worriedly.

At the same time, another battle was going on. The Scorching Crocodile, which had dived underground, emerged near Kenro after he launched the "Rock Slide" attack. Just as the Scorching Crocodile was about to use the "Digging" attack to launch a surprise attack on the defenseless Kenro.

All that was heard was Huang Bo's voice giving orders.

"I won't let you succeed! Kentai, use the "Mind Hammer" now!"

Kentai, who had been waiting for a long time, had already concentrated the power of longing on his forehead, and was riding the purple-red light and rushing quickly towards the direction of the Scorching Crocodile.

Just before the Scorching Crocodile's "Digging Hole" skill was about to attack Kenro, he was knocked away by Kentay's "Mind Hammer" skill.

“Dongga…”

"The scalding crocodile..."

Xiaozhi's voice was filled with worry, and he shouted miserably to Scalding Crocodile. At this time, Scalding Crocodile was knocked away and came to the side of the fallen Surge Duck.

Just like that, the advantage that Xiaozhi had worked so hard to create in the battle was cleverly resolved by Houbo when he switched opponents.

Xiaoqing in the audience covered her mouth with both hands and spoke tremblingly.

"No, that's not the case..., did you lose the fight..."

Papa, who was acting as the referee, was also worried about Xiaozhi's unfavorable situation, but as a referee at this time, he could not allow any biased emotions to avoid making unfair judgments. He could only watch the direction of this doubles match closely.

Huang Bo on the opposite side breathed a sigh of relief.

"Phew! You've really impressed me, Xiaozhi, for pushing me to this point. I'm sure your two Pokémon won't be defeated by me so easily, right?"

Xiaozhi replied first.

"Of course not! I trust my companions..."

Then, Xiaozhi called out to the fallen Scorching Crocodiles.

"Scorching Crocodile, Leaping Duck, wake up! We still have the Padilla League's "Round Table Conference" to participate in. Now is not the time to fall down, stand up quickly!"

At Ash's call, Scalding Crocodile and Surgeduck slowly stood up, holding up their shaking bodies. Ash and Pikachu continued to call out.

"Come on, Scorching Crocodile, Leaping Duck!"

"Pika Pika..."

The Scorching Crocodiles trembled and stood up, and suddenly two powerful auras burst out from their bodies. The Scorching Crocodiles reflected a red burning aura, while the Leaping Duck reflected a dark blue aura.

The shining aura suddenly gave the originally exhausted Scorching Crocodiles plenty of energy.

Xiaoqing beside her asked doubtfully.

“This…, what is this?”

Afterwards, Xiaoqing and the people present realized that this was the "Fire" attribute of Scorching Crocodile and the "Turbulence" attribute of Surge Duck. This is a similar attribute effect of the two Pokémon. When the physical strength of the Pokémon with this attribute is reduced, the power of their respective fire and water attribute moves will increase.

Seeing Xiaozhi's Scorching Croak and Surge Duck regaining their strength, the opposing Heliopolis smiled knowingly and became interested in continuing the battle.

Then, Huangbo gave orders to Kentaro and the others.

"Kentai, Kenro, use "Raging Bull"!"

Looking at the fierce charge coming at him like a raging bull, Xiaozhi defended himself and fought back.

"Scorching Crocodile, use 'Fire Jet'! Surge Duck, use 'Water Stream'!"

The Scorching Crocodile spewed out a burst of scorching flames like a fire snake. Kentai, who was wrapped in the flames, rushed towards the wall of fire spewed out by the Scorching Crocodile. The Surge Duck controlled the water flow and collided with the surging Kenro again.

At that moment, one on the left and one on the right, a raging flame, a spring gushing out, two skill attacks of the same attribute were intertwined, stirring in the middle of the battlefield, bursting out with brilliant brilliance. The confrontation between the two sides was so exciting that people didn't know where to focus their attention.

Suddenly, after two "bang" sounds, the Pokémon on the scene had decided the winner between each other. The scene was shrouded in white smoke raised by the explosion, and the moist water vapor produced by the mixture of flames and tides slowly dissipated.

In the blur, four Pokémon were seen standing there. Suddenly, two figures fell down. When the white smoke at the scene had completely dissipated, people could see the situation clearly.

The two Pokémon that fell were Satoshi's Crocodile and Hobo's Kenro. It turned out that in the previous battle between the two, Kenro's "Raging Bull" mixed with fire broke through the fire wall of Crocodile's "Jet Flame" and slammed towards Crocodile.

The Scorching Crocodile's vision was obscured by the wall of fire formed by the "Jet Flame" it released. Facing the sudden attack from Kentai that rushed out of the flames, it had no time to react and was heavily knocked away by the attack. After falling to the ground, its eyes became like "mosquito coils" and it lost its ability to fight.

However, Surge Duck's "Water Stream Break" counteracts Kenro's "Raging Bull" attack which is wrapped in water. The amount of water flow generated by Kenro is not as turbulent as the water flow wrapped in Surge Duck's attack.

After a while, Kenro's figure was submerged by the attack of Surge Duck. Kenro was swept away by the overwhelming water flow. After being hit hard to the field behind it, his eyes became like "mosquito coils" and he lost his ability to fight.

At this point in the fierce doubles battle, both teams had one Pokémon eliminated, and Papa immediately announced the situation.

"Scorching Crocodile and Kenro have lost their ability to fight. Satoshi and Hobo-sensei still have one Pokémon to fight. The battle continues!"

After Xiaozhi and Huangbo took out the Poké Balls of Scorching Crocodile and Kenro, a red light flashed, and they took the two Pokémon that had lost their combat ability back into the Poké Balls, and did not forget to say thank you.

After Xiaozhi took back the Poké Ball, a bright light appeared in the direction of Huangbo opposite him, and Xiaozhi immediately understood what was going on. As expected, Huangbo took out the shining Taijingzhu and said to Xiaozhi.

"Xiaozhi, let's finally crystallize the ether to finish this battle and decide the winner of this pre-match test!!"

Xiaozhi replied after taking out the Taijing Pearl that was also shining brightly.

"Okay, Mr. Huangbo! The last time I lost to you during the school term was because of the runaway crystallization energy. This time I will prove myself well... Come on! Surge Duck, bring Scorching Crocodile with you."

"Gada!"

After that, the sky suddenly darkened. Satoshi and Hobo both threw glowing Taijing beads at their respective Pokémon. Crystals emerged from the ground and wrapped around the bodies of Surge and Kintetsu.

After a while, the extra crystals that emerged from the ground faded away, and the two Pokémon present appeared in a crystallized state, with crystals representing their respective attributes suspended above their heads. The crystal on the top of Surge Duck's head was still a "fountain" crystal representing its water attribute.

Xiaozhi looked up at the crystal shape above Kentay's head, and found that it was not a "candlestick" crystal representing the fire attribute, but a "fist" crystal representing the fighting attribute.

Xiaoqing, who was standing next to him, was also stunned and said.

"I have been so influenced by the forms of the two Kentaro of Huangbo, the 'Fire Weave' and the 'Water Smoke', as well as their dazzling fire and water attribute moves, that I almost forgot that they also have fighting attributes!"

"How should Xiaozhi deal with Kentaro, who has the fighting attribute Taicrystal and the 'Fireweaver'..."

Huangbo said to Xiaozhi.

"Xiaozhi, Lip is stronger than me. At least I lost to her in the last battle. That's it for now... If you want to challenge her to a gym, don't lose to me! Let's have a showdown..."

Ash nodded in response.

"Don't worry, Mr. Huangbo! My partners and I have far more ambitions than this. Whether it's you, the Lip Pavilion Master, or the champion of the Padiya League, I will take you down in the end!"

Hearing Xiaozhi's bold words, Huangbo was very pleased and raised his hand to give orders.

"Kentai, use the final "Close Combat"!"

Xiaozhi turned the brim of his hat on his head with one hand and gave the order.

"Surge Duck, use Water Blade!"

Facing the oncoming Kentai, Surge Duck stretched out its left wing, and a stream of water was released from its body and wrapped around it, forming a water blade that hit the oncoming Kentai head-on.

Kentai used his two horns and all four limbs to first crash headfirst into the "Water Wave Blade" of the Leaping Duck. The Leaping Duck tried to block with its water blade, but was knocked backwards by it, and its body moved backwards.

"Surge Duck..."

As the Leaping Duck staggered backwards, before it could come to its senses, it saw Kentai's figure rushing towards it again, and the Leaping Duck hurriedly used the "Water Wave Sword" to block it again.

Kentai's "close combat" attack was not over yet, and he was hit head-on with horizontal and vertical chops, as well as continuous horn attacks. Leaping Duck was struggling to hold on with its water blade. Kentai turned around again, showing his hind hooves, and kicked hard at Leaping Duck's water blade.

Kentai's "close combat" attack was so vigorous and brilliant that it made it difficult for the Leaping Duck to defend itself.

Behind him, Xiaozhi and the others' encouraging voices came.

"Surge Duck, I believe you can do it, cut the opponent in half!"

"Pika pika!"

The Surge Duck regained its strength, and an even more turbulent stream of water gushed out of its body, wrapping around its "Water Wave Blade" to form an even larger water blade.

Kentai's "close combat" attack, with fists and feet combined, was like a "tornado" formed by the wind from fists, attacking the direction of the Leaping Duck with devastating force.

The Leaping Duck raised his hand, held up his "Water Wave Sword" high, and faced the approaching "Close Combat" fist storm of Kentai, and chopped it down in half with one blow.

In the middle of the intersection of the two sides' skills, the water blade of Surge Duck was splashed by fists and feet, and the splashing water gradually wet the battlefield.

"Come on, Kentay!"

"Go ahead, Surge Duck!"

With a "bang", the skills of both Pokémon suddenly exploded. In just a moment, people could not see whether it was Kenta's "close combat" that shattered Surge Duck's water blade, or Surge Duck's pressurized "Water Wave Sword" attack that was like a blade that subdued Kenta.

The sky suddenly brightened, and the sunlight pierced through the dark clouds in the crystallized state and sprinkled down. People vaguely saw the crystallization of two Pokémon in the water vapor being released, and after the crystals dissipated, they formed star-like fluorescent spots.

The water vapor at the scene dissipated, revealing two Pokémon in the Crystallized state. The upright Surge Duck suddenly looked painful, knelt on one knee and half-prostrated itself on the ground.

“How could this be possible?!”

Xiaoqing muttered to herself worriedly.

Then, Kentai, who was standing there, suddenly felt his eyes go black, and he fell heavily to the ground. His eyes became like "mosquito coils" and he lost his ability to fight.

"Great, Surge Duck wins!"

Xiaoqing couldn't help cheering, and Papa, who was acting as the referee, also raised his lips slightly and announced.

"Kentai lost his ability to fight, and Surge Duck won, so the winner of this doubles 'pre-match test' is Xiaozhi!"

Huangbo looked at the panting Surge Duck in front of him. Xiaozhi and Pikachu immediately surrounded it, followed by Xiaoqing and Piper, who joined in and congratulated Xiaozhi and the others on their victory.

Huangbo was not discouraged and had no regrets. He only felt exhilarated after the battle and had hope for the future of Satoshi and the others. He took out the Poké Ball and took back Kentay who had lost his ability to fight. After saying thank you, Huangbo came to Satoshi and the others and congratulated them.

"Xiaozhi, congratulations on your victory! This was a really good 'pre-game test'..."

Ash responded.

"Thank you, Mr. Huangbo, for this 'pre-match test' with me. Now I am qualified to challenge the 'Baking Gym'!"

Huangbo looked at the iron tower above the "Bagu Dojo" and said.

"Of course, I think Lip should also be waiting at the battleground for a long time. Once this last fashion show is over, I won't have to help Lip take the 'pre-match test' from the challengers anymore. I'm free again. You guys should hurry to the bottom of the tower where the fashion show was just held. That's where Lip will hold the gym challenge!"

"So that's where it is? Then let's go quickly. Goodbye, Mr. Huangbo, thank you for teaching the last battle class..."

After that, Xiaozhi and his group left here and headed towards the direction of "Baiko Gym".
