Pokémon Padea Adventure: The Journey Continues

After Xiaozhi and his team passed the "pre-match test" with Houbo, even though that "pre-match test" had changed from a challenge of "Joy, Anger, Surprise and Joy Gymnastics" to a doubles battle with Houbo, Xiaozhi successfully won the challenge.

Everyone immediately headed towards the iron tower on the second floor of the "Baiko Dojo", climbed the stairs to the second floor, which was under the huge iron tower where the model show was originally held.

At this time, at the bottom of the tower, the audience who had watched the fashion show had already left, and the temporary catwalk and auditorium seats used for watching the fashion show had also been removed.

The empty ground under the tower was revealed. When Xiaozhi and the others approached, they found that a battlefield was marked on the ground under the tower.

As Xiaozhi and the others approached, they also noticed the back of a lady standing at the other end of the battlefield. From her flowing lavender hair, pink short dress, and butterfly-decorated high heels, they could tell that she was none other than Lip, the owner of the "Baking Gym" whom they had met before.

When Xiaozhi and the others got closer to each other and were about to speak, Delip crossed her arms, slowly turned around, looked a little impatient, and asked.

"Really? It's just a little 'pre-game test' to buy me some time before I finish my modeling work. Why did it take so long... Huang Bo must be too strict!"

In the face of Lip's complaints, she simply put the blame for wasting time on Houbo who conducted the "pre-match test", completely unaware that it was because Xiaozhi did not pass the challenge of "Joy, Anger, Surprise and Joy Gymnastics" that Houbo temporarily gave Xiaozhi a chance to have a doubles match, which enabled Xiaozhi to challenge the "Baking Gym".

Xiaozhi and the others didn't know what to say, so they just tried to smooth things over.

"That's not the case. We haven't seen Teacher Huangbo for a long time, so we'd like to take this opportunity to catch up..."

"Oh I got it!"

Xiaozhi's excuse satisfied Lip. Then the elevator door behind Lip opened, and the front desk staff of the "Baking Gym" walked out. The other party would also become the referee of Xiaozhi and Lip's gym challenge.

Before the other party came over, Lip and Xiaozhi decided on the number of Pokémon to be used in the gym challenge.

"Xiaozhi, regarding this gym challenge of "Baking Gym", I have decided to send four Pokémon to fight. Can you accept it?"

Ash nodded in response.

"Of course, Ms. Lip!"

Regarding the number of Pokémon to fight, Xiaozhi will not send out Scorching Croaker and Surge Duck for this gym challenge. After all, they were fighting a doubles battle with Aeon before, and Xiaozhi hopes to give them a good rest. Apart from these two Pokémon, Xiaozhi only has four Pokémon left to fight, and there is no more.

After the trainers on both sides reached an agreement, they stood at the two ends of the battle field. The referee also took his position at this time and presided over the battle rules.

"The gym challenge is about to begin. The number of Pokémon that can be used is limited to four. Except for the challenger, the gym owner will not be able to exchange their Pokémon at will. When all the Pokémon of one of the two teams lose their combat ability, the game is over... Now, the game officially begins."

At the referee's command, Xiaozhi and Lip each took out a Poké Ball, and almost at the same time, two red lights flashed...

"Come out, the first battle is up to you!"

"It's decided to be you. You haven't fought for a long time since the "Frost Hand". Do your best!"

"Push!"

A red light flashed, and the Pokémon that Xiaozhi sent out for the first battle was Liloquy. Xiaozhi's judgment was correct. After not appearing for a long time, Liloquy burst out with high fighting spirit.

Xiaozhi and the others looked at the opposite field and found that the Pokémon sent by Lip was a Gardevoir.

Before Lip and Gardevoir could react, the eager-to-fight Coolspine Dragon had already flapped its short legs and rushed out.

"Push!"

"Cold-backed dragon, don't be impulsive..."

Xiaozhi had no choice but to give the order to the Cold Back Dragon.

"Really?! We can only fight. Coldspine Dragon, use "Bite"!"

After getting close to Gardevoir, the Coldspine Dragon jumped high, opened its mouth wide and showed its sharp teeth, and pounced forward.

In response, Lip and Gardevoir did not react too much. Lip just spoke slowly.

"It's not so fancy... Gardevoir, use "Magic Flash"!"

"Shanai..."

After shouting, Gardevoir raised its arms high, and then a dazzling light emanated from its body. The second before the Coldspine Dragon launched its "Bite" move and pounced on it, it used the "Magic Flash" light to knock the Coldspine Dragon away.

After falling to the ground, the Coldback Dragon groaned in pain. Xiaozhi asked the Coldback Dragon worriedly.

"Coldback Dragon, are you okay?"

After getting up from the ground, the Liangji Dragon raised his hands to rub his eyes, but found that he could no longer see clearly in front of him. With a look of horror on his face, the Liangji Dragon raised his hands to grope the surrounding environment.

"What's going on? Is the Coldback Dragon blind?!"

Hearing Xiaoqing's question beside him, Xiaozhi also noticed the changes in Coldback Dragon. It seemed that after jumping high, it got close to Gardevoir and was hit in the face by its "Magic Flash". Coldback Dragon's eyes were disturbed by the strong light and it fell into temporary blindness.

Looking at the panicked Coldspine, Xiaozhi continued to call out.

"Cold-Spine Dragon, I'm here! Get away from the opponent's battlefield..."

The Coldspine Dragon raised its ears to listen to the sound made by Xiaozhi, and was moving towards the battlefield slowly. Facing the temporary blindness of the Coldspine Dragon, Lip on the opposite side did not intend to let it go, and gave an order to Gardevoir.

"Gardevoir, the opponent's vision is blocked, take this opportunity to use "Energy Ball"!"

Gardevoir raised his arms again, and this time a faint green fluorescence gathered between his hands...

Seeing this, Xiaozhi quickly reminded Liangji Longdao.

"Watch your back, Coldback!"

Then, Gardevoir raised its arms and stretched them forward, launching the life force collected from nature into an "energy ball" attack, throwing it in the direction of the Coldspine Dragon.

"Coldback Dragon...!"

Xiaozhi's anxious and worried voice reached the ears of the Coldspine Dragon, but the Coldspine Dragon did not notice the danger from behind. Just as Gardevoir's "Energy Ball" attack was about to hit its back, the Coldspine Dragon accidentally tripped and fell to the ground.

It was the fall of the Coldback Dragon that allowed it to dodge Gardevoir's "Energy Ball" attack.

"what!"

To Lip's astonishment, the attack that emitted natural life force passed over the head of the Coldback Dragon.

After Xiaozhi breathed a sigh of relief, he asked the Coldback Dragon.

"Coldspine Dragon, are you okay? Thanks to you tripping just now, you were able to avoid Gardevoir's attack."

After the Coldback Dragon raised its body from the ground, it rubbed its eyes. At this moment, the Coldback Dragon's vision had slowly recovered. It turned out that after a round, its vision slowly recovered under the influence of Gardevoir's "strong light".

The Coldback Dragon then jumped high, turned around in the air, pretended to have a fierce expression, and confronted Gardevoir.

"Push!"

Xiaozhi said in surprise.

"Great, Coldback! Has your vision returned?"

“Puff, boom, puff…”

After the Coldspine Dragon answered in the affirmative, Xiaozhi immediately gave the order.

"Coldspine, use Ice Beam on Gardevoir!"

An extreme coldness gathered in the mouth of the Coldback Dragon, and Lip ordered resistance.

"Gardevo, use Energy Ball again!"

Coldspine fired a beam of ice at the opponent, and Gardevoir fired back the life force it collected from nature. The two sides' skills met on the battlefield and they were wrestling with each other.

After the attacks of both sides countered each other, the "Ice Beam" attack of the Coldback Dragon was shattered by the spinning "Energy Ball" attack, and ice flowers flew everywhere...

When the "Freeze Beam" attack was about to be defeated by the "Energy Ball" attack, it was discovered that the rotating "Energy Ball" attack began to slow down, until the life energy emitting green light was gradually covered by a layer of white inside the sphere.

Suddenly, with a "bang", the "energy ball" attack was disintegrated from the inside by the attack of the Cold-Spine Dragon, and the sparkling ice flowers stretched out sharp ice spikes to break the "energy ball" into scattered energy.

Then, the "Ice Beam" of the Coldspine Dragon attacked without any resistance, and hit Gardevoir solidly.

"Shauna!"

Gardevoir, who was attacked, let out a sharp wail, and Lip hurriedly asked.

"Gardevoir, are you okay?"

After receiving great damage, Gardevoir was shaking and unsteady. After it managed to stand up, an extreme coldness came out of its body. Looking at the attacked side of Gardevoir, it was discovered that after being attacked by the "Freezing Beam" just now, Gardevoir was affected by its additional status and fell into a "frozen" state.

After confirming that Gardevoir still had the strength to fight, Lip praised Xiaozhi.

"Xiaozhi, I really underestimated your Coldspine Dragon! The attack power of the Coldspine Dragon is really strong, which shows that you have trained it very well."

Xiaozhi smiled slightly and replied.

"Thank you for the compliment, Ms. Lip. After all, my friends and I are aiming to win the championship of the Padiya League. I heard from Teacher Huangbo that you are the one who can defeat her. You are quite powerful. We must take down this huge mountain of "Baking Gym"!"

After saying that, the trainers on both sides gave orders at the same time.

"Coldspine Dragon, use Dragon Wave!"

"Gardevoir, use [Phantom Ray]!"

After a brief charge, the Coldspine Dragon opens its mouth wide, sending a strong shockwave towards Gardevoir. Gardevoir fights back, firing a magical beam at the opponent.

A deep purple dragon aura in the shape of a dragon collided violently with a strange purple-red light wave. The two forces were equally powerful and evenly matched. After the skills met, the explosion raised a cloud of white smoke that enveloped the battlefield.

Lip and Gardevoir couldn't see the situation on the other side clearly. They only saw smoke flowing in the white mist, and a small black shadow gradually became clear from the white mist. Suddenly, the figure of the Coldback Dragon rushed out from the smoke, and at the same time, it exuded an amazing momentum and came towards Gardevoir.

It turned out that during the interval when the white smoke filled the scene just now, Xiaozhi gave the order to the Cold Back Dragon.

"Coldback Dragon, catch your opponent off guard and use "Slam!"

Unexpectedly, when the smoke dissipated, when the Coldspine Dragon used the "Slam" skill to attack the opponent, a heat gathered from between Gardevoir's arms.

I heard Lip say from the opposite field.

"I already knew you had this trick. You're smart, but I'm not stupid either. Fortunately, we already have a backup plan. Facing an ice-type Coldback Dragon, it's best to use fire-type skills..."

"Gardevoir, use [Magic Flame]!"

Soon, the flame was flowing between Gardevoir's palms. The flame seemed to have a soul and became agile and light. Facing the speeding Coldspine Dragon, Gardevoir threw the "Magic Flame" attack that had been charged for a long time in the direction of the Coldspine Dragon.

The rotating "magic flame" attack instantly surrounded the body of the Cold Back Dragon, causing it to be roasted by flames.

Faced with this situation, Xiaozhi and his friends present did not worry too much, which made Lip very puzzled. She then looked at the Coldback Dragon in the flames, only to find that the Coldback Dragon was gritting its teeth to resist the invasion of flames, and at the same time, the momentum it exuded from using "Slam" became stronger and stronger.

Suddenly, Lip seemed to remember something and spoke quickly.

"Wait, I remember the characteristic of the Coldback Dragon is..."

Lip had just said half of her words when Xiaozhi completed them.

"Yes, when attacked by a fire-attribute move, the attack power will be increased, and it will not fall into the "burn" state. This is the "heat exchange" characteristic of the Coldspine Dragon."

"For my Coldspine Dragon, the thing it fears the least is fire attacks! Go, Coldspine Dragon!"

From time to time, the figure of the Cold-Backed Dragon rushed out from the burning flames. As the body of the Cold-Backed Dragon turned red due to the influence of the "magic flame" just now, it increased its attack power and burst out with a stronger breath.

The Coldback Dragon slammed into Gardevoir with astonishing momentum, and then the Coldback Dragon's body was bounced back by the reaction of the attack, suffering a little damage.

The flying Coldback Dragon left two scratches on the ground. After it stood firm, it shook its head, stood up again, and looked at the Gardevoir opposite. It found that Gardevoir, which had just been hit by the "slam", fell to the ground, its eyes were like "mosquito coils", and it lost its ability to fight.

The referee then announced.

"Gardevoir has lost its ability to fight. Ms. Lip still has three Pokémon left to fight. The battle continues!"
