The main reason is that the forest lizard's blade was so fast just now that the King of Leave caught it with his bare hands. Now the forest lizard is asking the king to use the leaves on its head to hit it at a slower speed, which is like handing its head to the King of Leave.
Sure enough, the King of Leave raised his hand and grabbed the leaf above the forest lizard's head and threw it directly towards the ceiling.
The forest lizard that was thrown onto the ceiling left a mark of the same size and uttered a painful groan.
"Don't give up, Forest Lizard, use the Seed Machine Gun!" Xiaozhi also took advantage of the situation and let the Forest Lizard use the Seed Machine Gun to attack from top to bottom.
The forest lizard didn't care about its own injuries at all. It pushed its feet hard on the ceiling, used the force to rush towards the King of Leave on the ground, and opened its mouth to spit out a seed machine gun.
"King of Leave, use the Destruction Death Ray!" Qianli also asked King of Leave to use his general ultimate move, the Destruction Death Ray with a power of 150 to attack the forest lizard above.
Soon, the seed machine gun spewed out of the forest lizard's mouth and the destructive death light spewed out of the King of Leave's mouth collided with each other.
Almost at the moment of the collision, the Destruction Death Ray pushed the Seed Machine Gun backwards and hit the head of the forest lizard with its eyes closed. The strength of the forest lizard was too low compared to that of the King of Leave. Even if the Seed Machine Gun was from top to bottom and had the power of gravity, the Destruction Death Ray would still be weakened by gravity; even if the King of Leave was not known for his special attack, it would still be completely crushed.
The forest lizard that was hit on the head by the destructive death light flew backwards and fell heavily to the ground. The King of Leave beside him kept hammering his chest to vent his excitement.
Xiaoyao and Xiaogang on the side were amazed at how powerful the King of Leave was, while Xiaosheng was cheering on the side. After all, in his eyes, his father was always the strongest.
Then, the forest lizard actually stood up after enduring a destructive death ray from its own element, and the people watching were stunned.
Although there has long been a distinction between special attack moves and physical attack moves in the Pokémon world, and Destruction Beam has been officially defined as a special attack move, the power of the Destruction Beam used by the Leave King has been greatly reduced, but a direct hit to the head should also be a critical hit, right?
Seeing the Forest Lizard standing up again, Qianli began to persuade Xiaozhi, "Xiaozhi, the Destruction Ray of the Leave King has consumed a lot of the Forest Lizard's physical strength. Giving up the game for your own Pokémon is not a shameful thing, but a trainer's duty!"
Hearing this, Gongsun Yan couldn't help but smacked his lips and whispered in his heart, "Teacher, that's not what you said to me. You clearly told me that 'a qualified Pokémon trainer would never admit defeat'. Why did you change now? It turns out that all men are eels."
Gongsun Yan looked at the gym battle in front of him. Every fight revealed the word "seriousness". He looked left and right and felt something was wrong. After looking carefully for a long time, he finally made out the words from every detail. The two words "letting go" were written everywhere!
Anyway, he never got anything good from Qianli. If his attack was caught, he would just throw it away? What was he thinking? His other hand directly used a Qi punch to hit him. He didn't even want to run away.
Did he also use Earthquake while standing still? Gongsun Yan vaguely remembered that when he had the Monarch Snake use Blade Leaf to attack the King of Leave, the Monarch Snake was thrown directly under his feet, and then he raised his feet to use Earthquake. Not only did he take all the damage from the Earthquake, but he also got an extra Taishan Pressure.
And the destructive death ray just now seemed very powerful to others, but Gongsun Yan, who was familiar with this leave-taking king, knew that this was the result of holding back. Otherwise, even if the destructive death ray just now did not deal full damage, the forest lizard would not have been able to stand up.
Sure enough, Gongsun Yan enjoys the treatment of a godson, while Xiaozhi enjoys the treatment of a biological son-in-law!
After hearing what Qianli said, Xiaozhi hesitated visibly, but this time the forest lizard spoke first, he didn't want to admit defeat!
"Forest Lizard, do you still want to fight?" The Forest Lizard nodded, and Xiaozhi smiled again and looked up at Qianli.
"I understand. I believe you. Let's show our strength to Mr. Qianli!"
Chapter 106: The Forest Lizard's Narrow Victory
"just!"
The Forest Lizard roared towards the sky, and its whole body was suddenly covered in green light. The Forest Lizard's characteristic, Lush, was triggered. When the Pokémon that triggered Lush used a Grass-type move, the power of the move became times.
However, this also shows that the forest lizard has less than one-third of its remaining physical strength. However, it is already outrageous that it can withstand the next move of destructive death ray under the level suppression.
However, in the Pokémon world, there are conditions for activating the lush characteristic, which is that the Pokémon must give its all in the current battle and have the belief of going all out to activate it.
Xiaogang on the side was also explaining to Xiaoyao and the others the current condition of the forest lizard, and explained that the forest lizard was currently fighting entirely on willpower.
"Okay, get ready! Forest Lizard!" Xiaozhi also roared in response to the will of the Forest Lizard.
"Is the real battle coming up next? King of Leave, use Earthquake!" Qianli also became excited and asked King of Leave to use the earthquake attack again.
"Forest lizard, jump up!"
The King of Leave jumped into the air, and then slammed heavily to the ground, causing the ground to shake. Xiaozhi also let the Forest Lizard jump up to avoid the earthquake.
"King of Leave, catch him!" Qianli planned to use the same trick again and let King of Leave catch the forest lizard in mid-air.
"Use the help of the Leave King to jump over!" Xiaozhi also ordered the forest lizard to avoid the Leave King's hand.
Finally, the forest lizard really dodged before the King of Leave could grab him with both hands, and stepped on the King of Leave's arms to borrow strength, and successfully jumped onto the wall of the gym behind Qianli.
The forest lizard jumped on the wall of the gym and rushed over the head of the King of Absence, stepped on the wall on the other side, and hit the King of Absence with a knife leaf during the process.
"Forest Lizard, give it another slap!"
The forest lizard jumped down from the wall, and the leaves on its head hit the King of Leave hard in the face, causing the King of Leave to step back a few steps and kneel on one knee on the ground.
"Well done!" Xiaozhi cheered when he saw that the attack was effective. Xiaogang and Xiaoyao next to him also happily praised the forest lizard's jumping ability.
"What a great tactic." At this moment, Qianli nodded and praised Xiaozhi's tactics.
"But! Do you still have enough energy to defeat the King of Leave?"
"Ken!"
As if responding to Qianli's words, the King of Leave stood up directly, looking not hurt at all, and his voice was just as loud.
Xiaozhi also didn't expect that the King of Leave's physical strength was so strong. In the past, the opponents he faced were all speed-attack types like him, and the biggest disadvantage of speed-attack types was that their physical strength was not strong enough. Basically, no opponent could withstand the combo just now.
For a moment, Xiaozhi didn't know what to do, because the forest lizard was running out of energy, and it wouldn't be able to hold on for long even if it didn't get hurt.
"Get ready, King of Leave, use the most powerful Chi Punch!" Qianli did not give Xiaozhi too much time to think, and directly asked King of Leave to use the most powerful Chi Punch to force Xiaozhi to make a choice immediately.
"I won't give up, Forest Lizard, use the Blade Leaf with all your strength!" Fortunately, Xiaozhi didn't think about those unnecessary things and directly let the Forest Lizard face the enemy head-on. He believed in the strength of the Forest Lizard.
"just!"
The forest lizard roared, and the green light that was originally covering its body all condensed onto the grass leaves on both sides of its arms. The blades that were originally divided into two ends condensed together, and the size of the entire blade continued to increase and lengthen, and in the end it was three times the length of the original blade.
The two Pokémon collided in the center of the venue, and their figures overlapped for just a moment before they separated. However, the sharp-eyed Gongsun Yan also saw that the Leave King's fist did not change direction, and the Forest Lizard lowered its head slightly, dodging the Leave King's fist and then used a blade leaf to slash at the Leave King.
"Cha~" The forest lizard that was holding the knife leaf suddenly groaned, and its body shook, as if it was about to fall down, but the forest lizard stood firm with its willpower.
On the other hand, although the King of Leave did not shake, his originally calm face suddenly changed expression. He looked so stunned, and then fell straight to the ground.
"The Absence King has lost his ability to fight! The Forest Lizard wins! The winner is Satoshi from Pallet Town!" Kenta was not disturbed by the situation at all. The moment he saw the Absence King fall down, he immediately reported the result of the battle.
"Great, we won!" Xiaozhi shouted immediately after hearing the result. The Forest Lizard and Pikachu also looked very happy.
Xiaogang's expression... Sorry, I can't see it, next one. Xiaoyao's expression was very surprised at first, but she immediately showed her happiness that Xiaozhi won. (The girl is not left out)
Mitsuko on the side didn't show any big expression. She was happy that the other side won, but Xiaosheng who was sitting next to her had an expression of complete disbelief. In his heart, his father should be invincible.
Gongsun Yan, the forgotten man, was the one who had the most in-depth analysis of the entire battle situation. He also saw Xiaosheng's face full of disbelief, and wanted to go over to counsel him, but the ropes tied around his body were too strong. Gongsun Yan could only sigh silently as he watched Xiaosheng, who was out of tune with the surroundings.
Not only that, Gongsun Yan also discovered that the King of Asking for Leave, who was lying on the ground, did not have any signs of disordered breathing. He was probably just suffocated by the move of the forest lizard just now, and he recovered after a while.
The reason why he didn't stand up might be simply because of laziness, or it might be the instruction of Teacher Qianli. Gongsun Yan didn't know the details. He could only say that Xiaozhi won very narrowly, at least when Pikachu was acting.
"King of Leave, thank you for your help." After the battle, Qianli walked to the side of King of Leave, squatted down and patted King of Leave on the shoulder.
"Yes." The King of Asking for Leave also stood up. There was no scar on his body. It could be said that he had let the opponent win.
However, Xiaozhi and his friends who were in joy did not notice this, and instead gathered around the forest lizard to celebrate. Xiaogang even checked the forest lizard's wound, and did not even look at the King of Leave.
It's not just because Brock is Satoshi's companion that he checked the forest lizard first, but also because Brock is also a former gym trainer of the Nibee Gym, and he can see that Qianli is just playing a coaching game.
However, just when everyone except Xiaosheng was having a great time, a resentful voice came from the side.
"Can you guys untie me before talking?"
Chapter 107 Growth
Gongsun Yan was finally released. He stood at the door of the gym with an unhappy look on his face, watching that group of people bragging about their business with each other.
It's not that he disliked them tying him up, it's mainly because they went straight outside after the gym battle, and Xiaozhi even walked past him without noticing he was there at all.
It was not until he shouted that they realized there was a person tied up next to them. Then they came back and let him go as if nothing had happened, and then walked out as if he did not exist.
This series of actions made him constantly doubt whether he was still a human being. Why did no one consider him to exist?
Just as Gongsun Yan was grumbling to the side, Qianli took out a familiar object from his arms.
"Ash, this is the symbol of victory over the Orange Gym, the Libra Badge."
Gongsun Yan rushed over when he saw this scene. He knew that Xiaosheng, the naughty kid, was about to cause trouble.
Sure enough, just when Qianli handed the badge to Xiaozhi, Xiaosheng on the side suddenly rushed up and snatched the Libra badge from Qianli's hand. Just as he was about to run away, Gongsun Yan grabbed his collar and lifted him up to prevent him from escaping.
"Okay, why don't you just say it directly? Why are you trying to snatch the badge?" Gongsun Yan held up the struggling Xiaosheng and comforted him with a lazy voice.
"What do you know! How could Dad lose?!" Xiaosheng was not prepared to listen to what Gongsun Yan said and continued to struggle to escape.
Qianli and others on the side also gathered around. Qianli looked at Xiaosheng in Gongsun Yan's hand with a serious face and scolded him.
"Kacchan! What the hell are you doing!?"
"Teacher, please don't be angry. Let's talk nicely. Xiaosheng just couldn't accept your failure because he witnessed it with his own eyes. It's normal for children. Don't be angry."
Gongsun Yan was playing the role of peacemaker. Although Xiaosheng was indeed a little bit of a loser, he couldn't just let him be beaten by Qianli. He knew his teacher very well, or he knew the role of his father very well.
As the old saying goes, father's love is like a mountain. In fact, this is also a very accurate description. Fathers generally love their children deeply, but they will not express it easily. Many times, in order to educate their children or something else, fathers will have to become strict, but they often feel deeply guilty afterwards, feeling that they should not be so fierce.
Originally, Gongsun Yan did not have such deep feelings. The main reason was that he was beaten by his father when he was a child in his previous life. He originally resented his father very much, but he found his father crying in the toilet late at night, and kept saying that he was too strict during the day.
After seeing this scene, Gongsun Yan fell into deep silence. In the days that followed, he continued to correct his minor flaws and became the pride of his parents.
The reason I said so much is just to express that Gongsun Yan knows that Qianli is only acting sternly in order to educate Xiaosheng, and he actually feels so distressed for him.
Gongsun Yan's attempt to smooth things over was also to give the other party a way out. Sure enough, after hearing what Gongsun Yan said, Qianli's expression instantly softened and he just said a few words coldly.
"Explain why you did this!"
After hearing Qianli's words, Xiaosheng, who had been struggling, stopped, lowered his head and said with tears in his eyes.
"Why? Why did Dad lose! Why did Dad say the fight was exciting even after he lost! Isn't this weird! Losing should be very embarrassing!"
Xiaoyao quickly came to Xiaosheng's side and said, "Dad is the gym leader. You should know what the responsibilities of a gym leader are!"
"But don't you feel unwilling?" Xiaosheng shouted at Xiaoyao.
"Although I also feel a little unwilling, but as the father of a gym leader, it is a very cool thing for me to admit my failure so straightforwardly!" Xiaoyao was a little hesitant at first, but soon said firmly.
Xiaogang on the side also stood up and put Xiaosheng down from Gongsun Yan's hand. Gongsun Yan was happy to let go. Then Xiaogang squatted beside Xiaosheng and put his hands on Xiaosheng's shoulders.
"Kacchan, gym leaders don't do gym challenges just to win."
"So it doesn't matter even if we lose?!" Xiaosheng roared with his head down.
"That's right!" Qianli suddenly took a step forward and walked to Xiaosheng's side. Xiaosheng was also startled by Qianli's voice. He raised his head and looked directly into Qianli's eyes.
"For us gym trainers, even if we lose the gym match, it's meaningful! If the challenger can defeat me who tried my best, then we should be happy! Because our juniors have become stronger! They can carry our flag!"
After Qianli said these words, his tone became calmer. He squatted beside Xiaosheng and spoke slowly.
"Xiaozhi's Forest Lizard fought tirelessly until the last moment, successfully triggered its own characteristics, and won a beautiful victory. Isn't it what we gym trainers want to see most to stimulate their potential through this battle?"
Xiaozhi at the side also came forward and comforted Xiaosheng, "Actually, I also feel that I am not holding this badge very firmly, so it is okay for me not to take it. After this battle with Mr. Qianli, I feel that I have become stronger. This makes me very satisfied. The badge is not important."
Gongsun Yan felt like crying, she didn't expect that Xiaozhi, who was usually so straight and didn't understand other people's thoughts, could say such sublime words now.
Xiaosheng seemed to be moved by Xiaozhi's sincere words. Not only did he stop crying, he also silently wiped the tears from his face and placed his palm in front of Xiaozhi. In the center of his palm lay the Libra badge that had just been taken away.
"I'm sorry, Xiaozhi, I shouldn't have taken your badge, but when I become a trainer, I will definitely fight you, and I will definitely defeat you at that time!"
"Okay, I will definitely accept your challenge!" Xiaozhi raised his hand and took the badge from Xiaosheng's hand, solemnly promising to fight with Xiaosheng.
"Also, Dad, after I become a trainer, I must have a wonderful battle with you!" Xiaosheng turned his head to look at Qianli on the side and said loudly.
Qianli also showed a relieved expression and responded.
"Okay, I look forward to that day!"
Chapter 108 Dratini vs Coal Turtle
"Okay, I look forward to that day!"
Just when everyone was moved by the scene before them, an untimely voice was heard.
"By the way, aren't you feeling hungry?"
Gongsun Yan touched his belly and said awkwardly that his stomach had actually been growling for a long time, but seeing that the atmosphere was so good just now, he was embarrassed to say it out loud.
"...That's right, let's go eat."
It would have been better if Gongsun Yan hadn't said anything. As soon as he started talking, everyone felt their stomachs growling and they couldn't help but look embarrassed. Seeing this, Mitsuko quickly invited everyone back to the dojo for dinner.
After hearing this, everyone went to the restaurant and prepared to eat together. Mitsuko and Xiaogang took on the role of chef tonight, and Gongsun Yan also mixed in to help. If nothing else, he could still do some cutting of vegetables.
In short, after the dedication of two chefs and a kitchen worker, the dinner successfully made everyone...very full. Do you think I want to say swallow your tongue? No, do you think a quick meal can be better than yesterday's banquet? No!
Anyway, after the meal, everyone chatted casually for a while, and Mitsuko found a reason to pull Qianli away. After analyzing Qianli's expression that was worse than death, Gongsun Yan silently lit a stick of incense for him.
She turned around with a smile on her face and discussed the next travel plan with Xiaozhi and the others. Then Xiaoyao's proposal to go to Weibai Town to see Professor Odamaki was unanimously approved by everyone.
