Chapter 41 Additional Competition Rules, VS Kosha (1)
Xiaozhi and his party finally arrived in front of the Shenbo Gym. All three of them were panting to varying degrees. Among them, Xiaoqing, a girl, was panting the most and was preaching to Xiaozhi breathlessly.
"Xiao Zhi... you... why are you running so fast? Shenbo Gym... doesn't know how to run anymore. This whole run made me... out of breath!"
Xiaozhi said with an embarrassed look on his face.
"I can't help it, I can't wait any longer! Just walk slowly, you don't have to run with me."
Xiaoqing felt a little speechless by Xiaozhi's speech and said.
"As traveling companions, we also hope to cheer you up for your gym battle. Can't you remember ours?"
At this time, Xiaozhi realized that his eagerness for success had ignored the feelings of his companions. Just when he was about to say something..., Pipa came to mediate and interrupted the conversation between the two.
"Okay, let's go in quickly. Mr. Kosha may be impatient."
Entering the Shenbo Gym, I came to the front desk and met the front desk staff who had just left not long ago and informed Xiaozhi that he could come to battle, but he was informed by the other party.
"Contestant Xiaozhi, welcome to your arrival, but Mr. Kosha is not in the gym. This is a small test he has decided to give you. As long as you successfully complete it, you can compete with him in the gym challenge."
Xiaozhi asked in confusion.
"Why is there still this rule? What are the specific requirements?"
The staff pointed to the sunflower monster sculpture at the door.
"When you came in just now, did you see the sunflower monster sculpture at the door?"
Just where the front desk staff mentioned and pointed with their fingers, Xiaozhi and others looked back and saw the sunflower monster on the original side of the door quietly moving outside. After it realized that its actions were seen by Xiaozhi and the others, it quickly turned around and ran away.
"Uso, Uso..."
Xiaozhi and the others suddenly realized.
"It turns out that the statue just now is alive!"
But I heard the staff say.
"Don't let it run away. The sunflower monster that ran out just now is the competition rule that Mr. Kosha temporarily added to you..."
"What did you say!"
"...Hurry up and catch up with it. Among the many sunflower monster sculptures in Shenbo Town, there are ten real sunflower monsters pretending to be sculptures. After you collect them all, they will take you to Kou Where the sand is."
The staff at the front desk had just finished explaining the rules of the game, and Xiaozhi ran out like a wild horse... Xiaoqing and the others watched Xiaozhi run out and said in a state of collapse behind them.
"What! Are we running away again?"
Piper said with a troubled expression.
"Let's catch up quickly before something goes wrong again."
Xiaoqing and Pipa just walked out of the door, and saw Xiaozhi lying on the only remaining Sunflower Monster sculpture, saying.
"I've got you, Sunflower Monster!"
Pikachu, who was beside him, was stunned in embarrassment.
Pipa also reminded embarrassedly.
"Xiao Zhi, I think that sunflower monster is not real, it is just a sculpture."
Xiaozhi only reacted after hearing Pipa's words.
"Oh, that's right, I made a mistake."
After saying that, he quickly got up. On the road where pedestrians were coming and going, he saw the sunflower monster that had just fled from a distance. Xiaozhi and his group ran after it.
Along the way, there are a dazzling array of sunflower monster sculptures all over the streets. If you look carefully, you can still see the clues and distinguish between real and fake sunflower monsters... Pipa put her arm around the sunflower monster who was in a very sick state due to lack of water. No. 2 is facing the sunflower monster; he holds No. 2 who is yawning and distracted with one hand.
Xiao Qing also found No. 3 lying on the bench resting, and went to hold its hand; holding the other hand, Si Si shared their Pokémon food with other trainers' Pokémon. Number.
Not to be outdone, Pikachu used his keen sense of smell to accurately identify No. 5 among a bunch of sunflower monster sculptures; No. 6 was hiding in the bushes.
Xiaozhi took the lead in chasing the sunflower monster No. 9 who had just escaped in front of the gym. Not only was he chasing, but there were unexpected gains on the way. Other tourists took photos with him as a sculpture, and No. 8 was frightened by the flash and showed his feet. Hold it in your arms. At the same time, there was No. 7 in his arms who accidentally slipped and fell while pretending to be a sculpture.
I saw No. 9 running to the Sunflower Monster Square where Xiao Zhigang had fought against Bashuo's Styracosaurus. On the other side of the square, No. 10 was being chased by Xiao Qing and Pipa. The last two sunflower monsters only paid attention to Xiaozhi and the others who were chasing them from behind. They didn't pay attention to the front, and accidentally collided with each other.
Xiaozhi counted happily.
"Two, four, six, eight... It's great that all ten sunflower monsters have gathered, but how should they take us to find Kosa?"
Just when Xiaozhi and the others were looking at each other, a voice floated from the air.
"Everyone, give in quickly."
Hearing this familiar voice, and lowering their heads to notice the cross mark in the middle of the open space of the Sunflower Monster Square, everyone understood and hurriedly retreated, and drove the ten Sunflower Monsters away from the cross mark.
"No, it's dangerous! Everyone, get out of the way!"
Just after everyone vacated their positions in the open space, making sure that there were no people or Pokémon on the intersection marks... Kosha jumped off the windmill as usual and landed steadily in the open space. superior.
They saw Kousha standing up slowly as he did when they first met, his body trembling slightly, and he staggered a bit when he stood up straight, and slowly turned around, with a slight cold sweat on his forehead... Everyone also reacted to this. This is not surprising, after all, he also said that fighting is an art, and the artistry can be found in it. The difference is that this time, Kosha's face is more haggard, his eyes have thick dark circles, and his body feels light when he speaks.
"Xiao Zhi, you are finally here, let's start your gym challenge here."
Xiaozhi and the others said with embarrassed expressions.
"Mr. Kosha, are you okay? It looks like you didn't sleep well last night."
Kosha was so weak that he walked over, one foot lighter and the other heavier, and said.
"It's okay. I was just so obsessed with creating that I didn't sleep last night."
"In this case, Mr. Kosha, you should rest first, and I will come to the gym challenge another day."
Kosha waved his hands weakly and said.
"No need, ever since you finished the battle with Bashuo, I have been inspired to create. I have returned to the studio non-stop and completed the painting in one go. My brain is in an extremely active state now, so I am doing the gym at the moment. I'm invincible in the competition."
Seeing Kosha who was a little unsteady just standing, Xiaozhi was a little worried but couldn't say anything.
"Okay, let's start the gym battle now and go back to Shenbo Gym."
"No, let's start here!"
I saw that the owner of the voice was the front desk staff who was in the gym just now. He ordered the ten sunflower monsters that Xiaozhi had captured to go away, and ran over and said.
"No need, this is the place where Mr. Kosa will conduct the Gym Challenge. I will be the referee!"
Looking at the panting staff, Xiaozhi and the others could not help but feel a little sorry for each other. They went to the Shenbo Gym to inform us of the rules of the competition, and then came here to serve as referees for us. These people running around must be in response to Kou. The artistry he followed.
The three parties reached an agreement, created enough fighting space, and stood opposite each other. Facing this posture, a bustling crowd surrounded them.
"Great, we have another Pokémon battle to watch!"
"Isn't this the young man who battled with the Dragon King Hassaku yesterday! He's here for another Pokémon battle today."
"If the other party is Kosa, then they are having a gym challenge. In that case, that's great!"
After the event, there will be a gym challenge to watch, and people will naturally not miss this opportunity to join in the fun as an audience.
After the staff ordered the two players to take their positions, they began to explain the rules of the game.
"The gym challenge is about to begin now, and the number of Pokémon used is limited to three..."
Hearing this, Xiao Qing said from the audience.
"What! Isn't it too much to have a battle with three Pokémon?"
Piper explained from the sidelines.
"This is normal. Each gym has its own battle difficulty. The further you go in the journey, the harder it will be to appear in the gym, so the number of Pokémon that need to appear will be larger. This is also normal. of."
Xiao Qing breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
"Before, there were two Pokémon fighting in the Yuanmo Gym, but now it has become three. But fortunately, Xiaozhi, apart from Slow Crocodile, who doesn't like Pokémon fighting, he also has three other Pokémon to fight with. He chose it.”
The game ends when the Pokémon of either the gym trainer or the challenger lose their ability to fight. During the competition, only challengers are allowed to replace Pokémon, then the competition officially begins..."
Before the referee could finish saying the word "start", Kosha interrupted the opponent and said.
"Wait a minute, I have additional battle rules to talk about!"
Faced with Kousha's sudden additional rules, everyone seemed a little at a loss, the referee replied.
"Of course, every Gym Leader who hosts the Gym Challenge in his or her own Gym is entitled to revise the rules of the Gym Tournament by himself... But like this Gym Leader suddenly needs to add additional rules before the battle. This is the first time I’ve seen it, so why don’t we just let us hear what the additional competition rules are, and then the challenger can decide whether to comply with them or not.”
Just when Xiao Qing and the others were wondering about this sudden request, Xiao Zhi said disapprovingly.
"I accept Mr. Kosha's additional battle request, please tell me!"
Kosha smiled at each other and said.
"Actually, there are no special requirements. I just hope that, Xiaozhi, you can send out Pokémon other than Pikachu for a three-on-three battle... because I have already seen the battle between Pikachu and Styropodosaurus before. If possible, I would like to see how your other Pokémon battle, Xiaozhi, okay?... You don’t have enough Pokémon for three, do you?”
"What! Isn't this just..."
Before Xiaoqing and the others could question, Xiaozhi took the lead.
"Yes, I accept Mr. Kosa's additional battle rules."
Facing Xiaozhi's affirmative answer, the referee couldn't say anything and quickly let the Gym Challenge begin.
On the other hand, he was a little unhappy that Pikachu couldn't appear in the gym competition this time. Xiaozhi touched the Poké Ball with Fire Crocodile attached to his waist and said silently in his heart.
"Dark Crocodile, I'm sorry, I may need to use your power."
"Game start!"
Following the referee's order, Kosa took the lead in sending out his first Pokémon-Lilyroot Doll. Ash followed closely and sent out Mini Fu, who had already made a splash in her debut in the Round Mold Gym Challenge.
"Lily Root Doll, use magic leaf attack on the opponent."
"Mini Fu, use the Flying Leaf Blade."
"Bailili! Fumei!"
For a time, the flying leaf attacks from both sides poured out, and the fierce attacks were intertwined with each other. After one by one they collided and broke, they were peaceful and evenly matched.
For ordinary people, facing a battle with so many rules, they would already complain and retreat. Xiaozhi, on the other hand, grinned unconsciously, stimulating his enthusiasm for fighting.
Kosha also said with admiration.
"I knew Xiaozhi that you could provide me with other possibilities for artistic battles. Lily Root Doll uses Growth."
After receiving the instruction, the Lily Root Doll immediately took root on the ground and turned to the sky with a cheerful face, causing its body to grow suddenly, thereby increasing its attack and special attack. In addition, it was a sunny day, and the number of level upgrades was doubled.
"It's not that easy, Mini Fu uses the Flying Leaf Blade!"
Xiaozhi took advantage of his opponent's unpreparedness, and when the middle door was wide open, he launched a sharp flying leaf blade attack, and hit the Lily Root Doll with a solid attack. It used the growth skill to increase its size, and it seemed to be extremely tough and smooth. He increased his attack power but neglected his defense, and Xiaozhi took advantage of it.
The Lily Root Doll who was attacked did not take it seriously. Mini Fu's attack had little effect. Then the opponent immediately reacted and continuously used magic leaves to attack Mini Fu.
However, Mini Fu took advantage of her petite body to dodge and move around the lily root doll that had grown in size. She also silently released her sweet fragrance while dodging, thereby using her scent to significantly reduce her opponent. The dodge rate increases the success rate of subsequent attacks.
However, no matter how agile Mini Fu is, she can't withstand such a dense attack of magic leaves from the opponent. The attacks are poured out like a violent storm. A few flying leaf attacks can occasionally pass by. In front of the opponent with increased attack power, she can't stand it. It can produce a critical hit effect, and it will make Mini Fu scream and retreat for a while.
Faced with such a dilemma, Xiaozhi was still confident and ordered.
"Use Crazy!"
For a moment, Mini Fu, who was beaten until she was crying, became furious on the spot and fell into a state of madness. She threw herself on the Lily Root doll and started beating it like crazy. She didn't use this trick before because it was a way to kill in times of crisis. Moves, only when one's own physical strength is less, the power of moves can be greater.
Sure enough, the plan worked. Lily Root Doll was beaten to death by Mini Fu's attack, but it had not lost its fighting ability. Kosha said with an unhappy face.
"Damn it, my cleverness was mistaken for me. Lily Root Doll's enlarged and stronger body has become your best defense..."
Just when the two sides were in a stalemate and were about to fall down, the same move names fell from the air for both of them at the same time.
"Use super absorb!"
"Quickly use super absorption to counterattack!"
For a moment, lush green light emitted from both Pokémon's bodies at the same time, but it was Ash's agile Mini-Fu who attacked first and absorbed its vitality from the opponent. Mini-Fu won, and Ash won the first round.
Xiaoqing said happily off the court.
"Great, Xiaozhi's Minifu won. Not only that, it also recovered most of its physical strength. The opponent only has two Pokémon left! Come on, Xiaozhi, and pursue the victory."
Xiaozhi was so happy that he waved to Xiaoqing and Pipa in the audience. Facing Kosa who was missing a Pokémon, he did not panic at this moment. He took back the Lilyroot doll that had lost its combat ability and said thank you. He released his second Pokémon, a Pokémon that Ash had never seen before.
Different from his own Mini Fu, the other party seems to have a sweeter, more greasy fragrance... and Mini Fu's hard battle is about to begin.
