Pokémon Padea Adventure: The Journey Continues

"Jiejie!"

Seeing Tulongjiejie let out a wail and fell to the ground, Xiaozhi asked worriedly.

“Tulongjiejie, are you okay? How could this happen? Although the Super-Energy Flame Ostrich is quite fast, in the previous round, both sides used the same skills, and this time the distance was even farther than the last time. How could we be attacked by it? It’s as if its speed has increased…”

“The speed has been improved!”

Suddenly, Piper in the audience seemed to be inspired by Xiaozhi and exclaimed.

"...Oh right! The bright yellow light after each round, I remember, this seems to be a feature that can get a speed bonus in each round. What is the name of that feature?"

"What? You mean the light coming from the Super Ostrich is some kind of characteristic?"

Ash exclaimed, attracted by Piper's words.

Lip, who was on the opposite side, explained to everyone.

"Yes, you have discovered it! The light that Super Power Ostrich emits after each round is a sign that its speed has increased. This is its characteristic - [Acceleration], which is a characteristic that its speed will increase with each round!"

"In the last round, the light emitted by the Psyche stopped flashing, indicating that the Psyche's speed has reached its maximum. No matter whether it is Dragonite or any of your next Pokémon, Xiaozhi, it will not be able to defeat me!"

"What! This is actually the case..."

Just as Xiaozhi and his group were surprised, a voice came from behind them.

"That's right, Lip used this dirty trick! It caused me to lose to her in the battle, so I temporarily became a tester for the 'pre-match test' so that she could have peace of mind for the last model show in 'Bagu Town'!"

Xiaozhi and the others looked in the direction of the sound and found that it was Huangbo, slowly walking towards them.

"Teacher Huangbo..."

Just as Huangbo came to the audience and greeted Xiaoqing and Papa beside him, Lip on the field also shouted at Huangbo.

"Houbo, thank you for your help! Have you completed your work as the leader of the challenge 'Joy, Anger, Surprise and Joy Gymnastics'?"

Facing Lip's enthusiastic greeting, Huangbo replied unhappily.

"Lip, let me tell you! Your modeling work is done, right? I won't serve you anymore. Let others do your 'pre-match test'! If I didn't want to cheer up the students in the academy, I wouldn't be here. I'm just going to leave..."

Facing Huangbo's rebuke, Lip was a little embarrassed, but considering that Huangbo had really helped her a lot before and stopped the gym challengers for her, allowing Lip to complete the model show with peace of mind, she could only reply politely.

"Is that so? Thank you for your hard work, Huangbo... Then, you will watch carefully how I, the master of the "Bagu Gym", defeat you two!"

After Lip finished saying this, her previous elegant demeanor changed and her expression became sharp. As a childhood friend, Huangbo knew that Lip was a person who could fully distinguish between modeling work and gym battle work, and was immersed in these things, so he immediately reminded Xiaozhi.

"Be careful, Xiaozhi! Although I hate to admit it, even I can't defeat Lip in combat mode. Come on!"

Xiaozhi raised his hand and nodded in response.

"Don't worry, Mr. Huangbo! My journey will not stop here. No matter who our opponents are, my companions and I will defeat them one by one!"

After saying that, he turned around and looked towards the battlefield. At this time, Tulong Jiejie slowly stood up after being knocked away, and forced himself to support his shaking body. It seemed that he still had a little physical strength to fight.

Xiaozhi couldn't bear to see Dragonite in this state, so he took out Dragonite's Poké Ball and was about to put it back into the Poké Ball Lane.

"Tulongjiejie, thank you for your hard work. Just take a good rest and come back..."

Before Xiaozhi could finish his words, Tulong stopped him and shouted.

"Jiejie! Jiejie!"

Xiaozhi looked at Tulongjiejie's squinting eyes. Although he couldn't understand what was in his eyes, Xiaozhi still understood Tulongjiejie's thoughts and asked.

"What's wrong, Tulong Jiejie? Do you still want to compete with the super-powerful ostrich?"

"Jiejie!"

Seeing that Tulongjie nodded without hesitation and shouted firmly, indicating that Xiaozhi's guess was correct, Xiaozhi also nodded in response.

"Alright, Earth Dragon Settlement! Let's use every last drop of our strength to defeat our opponent!"

"Jiejie!"

"Earth Dragon, use "Power Drill"!"

After receiving the command, the earth dragon Jiejie raised his long tail and quickly spun the sharp "drill" tail, which then led his body to spin as well. After turning around, his tail was facing forward, his head was facing backward, and he spun his body towards the super-powered ostrich in front of him.

Lip gave the order calmly.

"Super Powerful Ostrich, use "Drilling" again!"

The super-powerful ostrich strode out, sprinted forward, flapped its wings and folded them, then flew up, spinning its body, pointing its sharp beak straight forward at the earth dragon.

The two tornadoes that rose into the sky disturbed the air in the large flat floor under the second-floor iron tower of the "Bagu Dojo", disturbing the surrounding air and causing the air flow to form a huge cyclone above the battlefield. A huge tornado of wind blew over everyone present, and everyone lowered their hats or held down the hems of their skirts.

Two tornadoes met on the battlefield. The sharp rotating drills and pointed beaks emitted fierce sparks after the collision. The tornadoes, one positive and one negative, produced undirected winds when approaching each other, disturbing the surrounding air.

"Come on! Tulong Jiejie... don't give up!"

Xiaozhi was holding down his hat, encouraging the Earth Dragon. Pikachu on the side also lay on the ground, holding on to the ground with his limbs to prevent his body from being blown away by the chaotic hurricane at the scene, while also not forgetting to encourage his companion.

"Pika pika!"

The longer "Powerful Drill" tornado representing the Earth Dragon's section is gaining strength little by little under the encouragement of Ash and Pikachu, and its own tornado is gradually eating away at the opponent's territory.

At this time, Lip also encouraged Chao Neng Yan Ostrich.

"Go ahead, super sexy ostrich!"

Gradually, the smaller "pecking" tornado representing the super-powerful ostrich, after emitting light, was slowly increasing its rotation speed, suppressing the attacks of the advancing earth dragon little by little and pushing them back.

"how come……?"

“Festival…Festival…”

As Xiaozhi and Dulong were increasingly surprised, the "Drilling" attack of the Psychic Ostrich gradually became stronger, and the air currents on the battlefield began to suppress Xiaozhi, and the momentum of the wind also changed from left to right.

"The gorgeous ostrich!"

As the Super-Energy Ostrich roared, its "Drilling" attack penetrated the "Powerful Drilling" attack of the Earth Dragon, knocking the Earth Dragon backwards...

With a "bang", the earth dragon's body flew out and fell to the ground. After it came into contact with the ground, it bounced several times and stirred up a cloud of dust.

After the attack, the Super Ostrich slowly stopped its "pecking and drilling" skill, the airflow at the scene began to stop, and the hurricane stopped.

Everyone looked at the stirred up smoke and dust. Because of the hurricane at the scene, after the confrontation skills stopped, they all stopped and slowly waited for the smoke and dust to dissipate.

After the smoke and dust cleared, Tulongjiejie was revealed lying on the ground. At this time, Tulongjiejie's eyes were like "mosquito coils" and he had lost his ability to fight.

The referee announced.

"Earth Dragon is losing its ability to fight. Challenger Xiaozhi has two Pokémon left to fight. Please send out the next Pokémon to fight. The battle continues!"

Xiaoqing in the audience said after taking a breath.

"Hiss..., how could this happen! Xiaozhi's Earth Dragon lost every battle, and Ms. Lip's Psychic Ostrich defeated Xiaozhi's two Pokémon in one go. The advantage at the beginning turned into a disadvantage now! What should I do..."

Piper, who was standing nearby, said this.

"Pokémon battles are won and lost. I don't think this situation is enough to defeat Xiaozhi. I believe Xiaozhi will definitely turn the tide!"

Huangbo nodded, agreeing with Papa's point of view.

"Paper is right. We are only halfway through this battle, so we can't jump to conclusions. Although Lip is stronger than me, it's only temporary. I will definitely win next time... I said some irrelevant things, but I also believe in Xiaozhi. He and his Pokémon are much stronger than this and will definitely defeat Lip!"

After saying this, Huang Bo muttered softly.

"But... this is based on Xiaozhi overcoming the maximum speed of the Super Ostrich. If he can't defeat his opponent in terms of speed, he will have to work on other ability values. I hope Xiaozhi can realize this!"

On the battlefield, Xiaozhi lowered the brim of his hat, took out the Poké Ball, retrieved the Earth Dragon that had lost its ability to fight, and said to it.

"Thank you for your hard work, Tulong Jiejie! We haven't seen each other for a long time. I wanted to let you show your skills, but now you can't enjoy it... This is all my fault for not noticing the opponent's "acceleration" feature. You should have a good rest, and leave the rest to other companions!"

After Ash retrieved Earth Dragon's Poké Ball, he praised Lip.

"Ms. Lip, your super-powerful ostrich skills are truly amazing, but I won't give in so easily!"

Lip nodded in response.

"Good, Xiaozhi! Then it depends on your performance next. I hope you can fight in a way that will amaze me!"

After Xiaozhi finished talking with Lip, he fell into deep thought.

"Damn it, how can I deal with the speed of the Psychedelic Ostrich! With the "acceleration" feature of the Psychedelic Ostrich, it is difficult for any fast Pokémon to counterbalance it. What should I do..."

Seeing that Xiaozhi did not take any action for a long time, the referee reminded Xiaozhi.

"Contestant Xiaozhi, please send out your next Pokémon for battle!"

Xiaozhi finally came to his senses, shook his head to keep himself awake, and finally took action. He took out a Poké Ball, threw it high, and said.

“Forget it! We’ll figure out a way to deal with it during the battle… Come out, Infernape, it’s you!”

A red light flashed, and Infernape appeared on the scene, pounding the ground with both fists. Angry breath spurted out of his "pig nose" shaped nostrils, and the "cross" shaped blue veins on his forehead looked even redder.

Seeing this, Xiaozhi said jokingly.

"It seems that you are in very good shape, Infernape. Let us take Earth Dragon's share and win this battle together!"

“Hot!”

Infernape agreed, and his loud voice echoed throughout the venue, shocking everyone present.

Huangbo in the audience was eager to try it out after seeing Infernape.

"What? Xiaozhi actually has a Fighting-type Pokémon that looks this strong... I really want to compete with it."

Lip on the opposite side also felt Infernape's excited momentum and said.

"Ash, your Infernape looks very strong! Let's have a good fight and see whose Pokémon is stronger, you or me!"

After that, Lip took the lead in giving the order.

"Super-powerful ostrich, give it a try! Use "Lightning Flash"!"

Xiaozhi also gave the order at the same time.

"Infernape, use Mega Kick!"

After receiving the order, Infernape ran forward, preparing to charge up before launching a powerful attack.

Just as Infernape was staring at the Super-Eye on the opposite field, he blinked a moment, and when Infernape opened his eyes again, he found that his opponent had disappeared.

Just when Infernape stopped moving forward in confusion, the figure of Super Ostrich instantly appeared in front of Infernape and rushed towards Infernape with lightning speed.

In just a few tenths of a second, Infernape, with his well-developed motor nerves, subconsciously raised his arms and crossed them in front of him to block. Super Power Ostrich's "Lightning Flash" attack landed heavily on Infernape's arms, and the huge impact force pushed Infernape's body several meters away.

While Infernape was in a blocking posture, he stomped his feet hard to steady his body and blocked the attack of the Super-Eye. However, there were two scratches on the ground left by Infernape's feet after he was knocked away.

Infernape looked up in surprise, and only then did he have a preliminary understanding of the strength of the Super Ostrich, and he dared not underestimate it.

Xiaozhi also said in surprise.

"What! With the "acceleration" feature of the Super Ostrich, the speed of its "Lightning Flash" is no longer visible to the naked eye. Even Pikachu's "Lightning Flash" can't move it left or right!"

Lip said with interest after seeing that Infernape was able to take that swift blow.

"What! That Infernape can actually be so mobile! It seems that the Super Ostrich has met an opponent of equal strength!"

Xiaozhi ordered again.

"Don't give up, Infernape, use Tile Break!"

Infernape spread out his palm, forming a blade with one hand, and after revealing his hand blade and emitting a strong aura, he strode towards the direction of Super Powerful Ostrich...
