Chapter 38: Discussion with the Dragon King, VS8 Shuo (1)
In the Sunflower Monster Square, the first person to come here and wait was the Pokémon Center in Shenbo Town, which is not too far away from the square. Piper and Nishida, who had already completed their business, were waiting here for other companions. arrival.
Waiting and waiting, the next people to arrive are Xiaoqing and Dunzi who have just finished their tour of the art exhibition. Just when they were curious about why their respective rivals were following their companions, Xiaoqing and Pipa had not yet said hello to Xitian and Dunzi.
On the contrary, they hit it off immediately.
"It's you, Nishida! Why are you here?"
"Dunzi, long time no see. How are you lately?"
Dunzi waved his hand and said.
"Hey, hasn't it been a long time? I came here to participate in the Shenbo Town subdivision of the cooking competition."
Nishida said with emotion.
"I see, after quitting being a Pokémon trainer, you finally decided to become a cook!"
"Yes, Nishida. Fortunately, the doctor made me understand that in addition to being a trainer, any other occupation can also realize one's own value and contribute to society, so I decided to become a cook. "
After listening to Dunzi's words, Xitian also said.
"Speaking of the doctor, he also encouraged me in this way and supported me to move towards my dream. Therefore, I have become a photographer now, and I am also her personal photographer under Qishu."
Dunzi said in surprise after hearing this.
"Qishu! Could it be that famous anchor?"
Nishida lowered his voice and said.
"Yes, I accidentally slipped my words... Please don't say it loudly, otherwise it will cause quite a fuss."
Dunzi patted his chest and said.
"Don't worry, I won't tell you. By coincidence, I am also an apprentice under Ms. Afeng. Our life trajectories are quite similar."
Nishida smiled and said.
"I know, I've seen it on TV before. At that time, it was about the limited-edition olive mousse cake cup launched in the Paisley Mousse store..."
Dunzi suddenly realized.
"So that's it. I was watching TV myself at the time, but I didn't realize... At that time, we were fortunate enough to meet another trainer in the research institute to select the preliminary Pokémon. Since then, we have also In order to become trainers, we regard each other as a fierce rival."
"Yes, that was a long time ago. From now on, we each came to the Padia area to live and study. Although the doctor mentioned each other, we never had the chance to meet. Isn't it a coincidence today!"
The two sighed with each other and reminisced about the past, and suddenly Dunzi asked.
"By the way, is the trainer who selected water Pokémon still insisting on doing it?"
"No, he is just like his grandfather... who is a doctor. He is also studying hard to become a researcher."
Memories of the past are like floods bursting out of banks.
"Yes, yes, I remember him. He was a flamboyant guy who rode in a convertible sports car and had a cheerleading team of three or five beautiful women. Although he looks good, I still don't like that guy."
Nishida said with a smile.
"Yes, although his style was a little exaggerated at the beginning, he became more and more calm and polite, as if he was a different person. I heard that these changes in him were due to his We get it from our mutual improvement with our strong rival, the fourth new trainer in our town."
Dunzi scratched the back of his head and said.
"The fourth one..., I remember, the guy who was late at such an important time..."
Nishida nodded.
"Yes, although he is late, he is a person who really likes Pokémon and Pokémon battles. He is also the only one among our four new trainers who is still working as a trainer."
"Really! Then I really outsmart him. I just don't know what he is like now and what achievements he has achieved..."
At this time, Xiaozhi and Hassao arrived late, and Xiaozhi was still sneezing. When Xiaoqing and Pipa saw that they were coming, they first said hello, and then Pipa asked about Xiaozhi.
"What's wrong with you, Xiaozhi? Why can't you stop sneezing?"
Xiaozhi replied in confusion.
"I don't know. After all, I haven't been sick for a long time. I don't know if I caught a cold."
Xiaoqing said with a smile.
"This shouldn't be the case. It's said that 'idiots' can't get sick."
Xiaozhi smiled awkwardly and then said.
"What's wrong, everyone is here, Xitian is here too, Dunzi is here too..."
Bashuo explained.
"From this point of view, it is the success of the event held in Shenbo Town, and the contribution of the college and the alliance to jointly increase these two events, which is enough to attract people with different interests and hobbies... It is strange that the 'initiator' of this is Kosha, where are you?"
"Haha, the protagonist finally appears at the end."
A mysterious voice sounded in the square, and the dragon disappeared without a trace. Everyone looked around, but they couldn't see who the owner of the voice was. Only Bashuo understood the situation and raised his hand to ask everyone to step back and leave enough space in the middle of the square. After retreating, Xiaozhi and the others discovered that there was a cross sign on the ground where they were standing.
After exiting enough space, it was confirmed that there were no pedestrians at the intersection... A figure fell from the sky, and a mysterious man landed with a "boom" from the sky, shocking everyone outside Chuba Shuo.
Xiaozhi said doubtfully.
"Who is this? Where did it come from?"
As he spoke, he looked up into the sky. Xiaoqing, Paipa and others all recognized who this mysterious man was. He had long dark green hair like tree roots, a red high-cut top, slender black trousers, and a thorn-shaped rope in his hand. There is no shortage of elements of thorns either. With their backs to Xiaozhi and the others, they couldn't see their faces clearly.
Xiaoqing recognized those who introduced them first.
"This is Mr. Kosha, an artist who advocates nature. He is a judge of the photography competition together with Bashuo and Lanlian. He is also the gym leader of Shenbo Gym."
Xiaozhi suddenly realized it and said.
"Oh, I remembered. Not only did he shoot a promotional video for the photography competition, but he was also the person who appeared in Mr. Bashuo's class... It turns out that you are the gym leader of Shenbo Gym!"
Xiao Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xiao Zhi, you finally remembered."
I saw Kosha standing up slowly, his body trembling slightly, and he staggered when he stood up straight. He slowly turned around and saw that his face was a melancholy and gloomy face. There was a slight cold sweat on his forehead and he said in a trembling voice. .
"Please, please... are you... looking for me?"
Everyone present was shocked, and they knew clearly why Kousha had such a reaction without mentioning it. The impact of jumping from a high altitude made his legs numb. The numbness did not subside for a while, which was why he broke out in cold sweat.
Bashuo sighed and said sarcastically.
"You always like to jump off windmills no matter how you appear. What is your special hobby?"
Kosha said as he gradually regained his composure.
"I, I... have my own pursuits, to... to increase the artistic atmosphere!"
Bassao was sweating in embarrassment, and Xiaozhi walked through the crowd and walked forward and asked.
"Mr. Kosa, please have a gym challenge with me!"
Kosha said tactfully.
"I'd love to, but I just finished working on the art exhibition today, so my energy is a bit low. There's also a cooking competition to be held. Can you please wait until these two grand events in Shenbo Town are over before I challenge the gym competition?" May I?"
Xiaozhi said angrily.
"Okay, Mr. Hassaku doesn't agree, and Mr. Kosha doesn't agree with Pokémon battles... That's right! Nishida and Dunzi, I asked you to have Pokémon battles before, but you only competed with Xiaoqing and Pipa. , is there an opportunity to fight now?"
Dunzi said.
"No, I have to recharge my batteries for tomorrow's cooking competition so that I can defeat Pipa!"
Pipa smiled awkwardly and Nishida also said.
"I can't do it today either. I just went hiking and wading in rivers with Dian Haiyan to shoot. I just uploaded the work. I want it to have a good rest."
Xiao Qing added on the side.
"By the way, Nishida! I saw your shortlisted work "Secluded Beach". Congratulations."
Nishida replied sheepishly.
"Thank you, but it's just a shortlist. Whether it will eventually be selected for the 'Ten Scenes of Padea' remains to be seen. I think the shortlisted work "The Leaning Tower" by the photographer named Jiro Antonio is also very good. Yes, I consider myself a strong enemy."
Xiao Qing was on the side and said sheepishly.
"Actually, I am also one of the contestants in the photography competition. Although the works I have submitted so far have not been shortlisted, I will try my best to treat you as my opponent, so please don't mind."
Nishida nodded and said.
"Of course. Looking at the shiny camera that has been carefully wiped and maintained on your chest, I know that Xiaoqing you are also a good photographer. I look forward to more of your works being shortlisted. …”
Just when Xiaozhi was frustrated, Kosha noticed Pikachu next to Xiaozhi and said in amazement.
"This is an almost perfect Pikachu..."
Kosha suddenly fell to the ground and looked at it carefully. He saw that Pikachu's back was a little hairy, which also made the people around him a little surprised.
"...The perfect Pikachu inspires my infinite desire to create..."
Yasaku reminded Kosa who was behaving strangely.
"Okay Kosha, it's time to curb your behavior of giving up your manners for art. Don't scare my students and their friends."
Kosha said regardless.
"Hassaku, treating Pokémon battles as a work and finding artistic inspiration in it was the state of mind that my battle with you brought me back to when I was still at a creative slump, isn't it?"
Yasaku shook his head helplessly, while Kosha continued.
"I want to ask you something, Hassaku. Let's have a Pokémon battle with this trainer who uses Pikachu..."
"what!"
Xiaozhi's mood changed from sadness to joy.
"Is this true! Mr. Kosha, Mr. Yasaku."
I saw Hassaku looking at Kosha who was obsessed with the generation of inspiration, and sighed and said.
"Well, who asked me to drag you into the photography competition to be a judge? I owe you a favor. Besides, as long as you are obsessed with something, Ten-Headed Kentero won't be able to drag you in."
Kosha smiled, looking forward to the start of this battle.
"I don't want to have any Pokémon battles today. I have no choice..., come out, Styrophosaurus."
Just as Hassaku was muttering to himself, he released the Pokémon he was about to battle with. Just when this behemoth appeared, there was a sudden chill around the square. If you look closely, this was not an illusion. Instead, the extremely cold air inside the Styracosaurus spurted out, causing a thin layer of frost to form on the ground of the square.
At this time, Xiaozhi also took out his cell phone Rotom and inquired.
"Spirosaurus, an ice dragon Pokémon, dragon-type and ice-type. It will turn its body upside down and exhale cold air from its mouth, then rush forward with the force of the exhalation, and use the sword on its dorsal fin to give the enemy a fatal blow. It will be ejected from its mouth The extremely low-temperature cold air can turn even hot lava into ice in an instant."
Xiaozhi said excitedly.
"Is this Styrosophora? It looks so strong!"
He lowered his head and said to Pikachu.
"Pikachu, our opponent seems to be powerful and cannot be underestimated. We must not be careless!"
"Pickup!"
Pikachu gave Ash a firm response.
"What happened? Are you planning to have a Pokémon battle?"
"Ah, isn't that the artist and gym leader of Shenbo Gym, Kosa!"
"And the person next to him, the user of Styrosophora is..., it's Yashuo! Why, two judges of the photography competition are here. Wasn't the cooking competition held here recently? Why..."
The crowd of onlookers gathered more and more, as if they were warming up for this battle. In the crowd, a pair of familiar figures appeared. The people in disguise were none other than Team Rocket.
Kojiro said with excitement.
"That's great. We met Little Guitou and the others not far from the base."
Meow Meow on the side also said with a bad smile.
"This is God's favor for us. We can lead Little Devil to Team Tianxing's Fire Gang and use their power to defeat Pikachu and the others. Then we can find the right opportunity to kill Little Devil and their Pokémon. Let’s get it, meow!”
"Let's do it, Meow Meow, we have to pretend to be..."
Before Kojiro and Meowth could finish discussing their plan, Musashi stepped in to stop them.
"The plan is still going ahead as planned, but it will be postponed."
"What, postpone it!"
"When will it be postponed and why? Meow."
Musashi said calmly.
"Isn't it the point where the cooking competition is about to be held? I think it's not too late to start after participating in that competition."
Kojiro and Meowth said with disbelief.
"What! You want to participate in that competition, are you serious?"
"That's right, Musashi, we've never seen you know how to cook, nya."
Musashi looked disdainful.
"What are you talking about? I'm a great cook... and besides, if Kojiro is allowed to participate in the photography competition, can't I participate in the cooking competition?"
Faced with Musashi's aggressiveness, Meowth asked Kojiro to lean over and speak.
"I think it's better to let Musashi participate. As long as she makes up her mind to do something, a hundred Kenteros can't get her back."
"Huh? What are you whispering on the sidelines?"
"No, no...no, nya."
The sunflower monster square gradually became boiling, Kosha said in the middle of the confrontation between Xiaozhi and Yashuo.
"The two warring parties are Xiaozhi and Yashuo. A 1V1 Pokémon battle will take place here. ...The battle begins."
Following Kosa's order, Pikachu and Styropod reacted immediately and ran towards each other, and the battle was about to break out.
