Chapter 57 Passed the test, VS Qishu (1)
Just as the photo lit up on the screen, there were waves of uproar in the whole place, followed by whispers and discussions.
"Isn't this true? Are you looking for it among these densely packed 'little dots'?"
"In three games, we have won one and lost one. This is the last chance."
"Is this really going to identify a gentleman? I doubt it."
The picture that aroused people's constant discussion. The photo shown on the screen was a scene of the central square shot from high altitude by Dian Haiyan. Unexpectedly, this time the hide-and-seek was not like the one from the first to the second game, hiding further away, but the opposite. After all, the central square at this time was already surrounded by many spectators.
If you want to be in this huge crowd, or from a bird's-eye view, all the pedestrians turn into a large group of colorful "dots", the difficulty of this hide-and-seek is undoubtedly hellish.
Everyone invariably started to inquire about the people around them. Since Clavel was hiding among the crowd, it was possible that he would appear around them. This was what all the viewers guessed.
Just when Xiaozhi frowned and desperately wanted to find Clavell in this colorful "sea of flowers", Qishu reminded him warmly.
"Five minutes have passed now, and there are still ten minutes left before the fifteen minutes set by the rules."
When Xiaozhi stared at the picture, he inevitably overused his eyes. He blinked his eyes that had been wide open for a long time, rubbed his eye sockets, and exclaimed.
"Oops! Where did I see it? I just closed my eyes for a while, and then I forgot where I was."
Then he asked Pikachu next to him.
"Pikachu, have you noticed Clavel?"
According to the game test requirements, no one can remind anyone except the challenger to find the hide-and-seek gentleman. However, the challenger's own Pokémon can be used with Ash as part of the subsequent Pokémon battle. Looking for.
"Pika pika pika..."
Pikachu shook his head, but still searched hard.
After a while, Qishu's voice reminded him of the duration.
"There are still five minutes until the end of the test!"
Xiao Qing, who was outside the court, was also dazzled and felt dizzy.
Zi Wan was even more dizzy, lost her balance, and sat down on the ground.
"No..., it doesn't work anymore, we can't find it at all."
Xiao Qing said while helping Zi Wan who fell to the ground.
"It's also difficult for Xiaozhi and Pikachu. Did you find out, Pipa?"
Piper was also confused, with a slight sweat oozing out from his forehead as he replied.
"I have no clue. It's really difficult. I didn't expect to use the electric Haiyan for aerial photography. Plus there were so many fans of Qishu surrounding the scene. It was even more difficult. Fifteen minutes might not be enough." use."
At this moment, Guang Nan on the side took a long breath and said in a relaxed tone.
"That's not necessarily true. There is still room for maneuver. In addition to being a hide-and-seek game, the third round is also a brain teaser. If you start from the beginning, you should naturally think, 'The trees are hidden in the forest and the water is hidden in the sea. If you hide the article in the Sutra Pavilion and tailor it to the sky, you will be deeply trapped in the trap."
Xiaoqing asked in surprise.
"So, Ms. Guangnan, have you found the answer to the third round question?"
Guangnan nodded.
Suddenly, Pipa also said loudly.
"Oh! Following Ms. Guangnan's reminder, I also discovered Clavell."
"What? Pipa also found it, am I the only one who didn't find it? Aster, did you see it?"
Zi Wan said anxiously.
"I haven't noticed it yet... Are Sister Xiaoqing and I the only ones who haven't noticed it?"
After saying that, the two of them were searching seriously. At the same time, there were also Ash and Pikachu on the field, both of whom were looking with their eyes wide open.
"There are still three minutes left until the end of the test!"
In a high-pressure environment near the end of the time, Xiaozhi had to endure the torture of Qishu's countdown reminder, as well as the rustling sounds of whispering coming from the audience.
"Look, there."
"Shh, keep your voice down, don't break the rules of the game."
Gradually, more and more sounds of discovery floated from the audience's mouths, while Xiaozhi was still searching without a clue. However, Pikachu seemed to have made some discoveries, just when Pikachu was about to remind Xiaozhi.
"Pikapi!"
"Okay, the time for the third round of 'Guess where I am? Find the Street Gentleman!' has come. Challenger Ash, please stop looking."
As the time for Qishu's announcement ended, the picture on the big screen also turned off. Unfortunately, Pikachu has not informed Xiaozhi of his discovery, and Xiaozhi cannot confirm Pikachu's development.
"Okay Xiaozhi, please tell everyone your answer!"
Facing Xiaozhi, who was about to tell Qishu the answer to the round, he was still replaying the scene that had just been shown in front of everyone over and over again in his mind, his eyes closed tightly and frowning all the time.
Pikachu on the side came to Xiaozhi's side gently, jumped up on Xiaozhi's shoulder, and said in a firm tone.
"Pika pika!"
"Pikachu?"
Ash turned to look at the determined face of Pikachu.
"Really, Pikachu! Do you know the answer? Okay..."
Immediately afterwards, Xiaozhi raised his hand to interrupt Qishu's next question.
"What's wrong, player Xiaozhi, do you have anything to say?"
"I want to say that the right to answer questions in this round will be given to Pikachu, okay?"
"Of course it's possible. After all, the rules of the game are set like this in advance. Well... considering that Pikachu can't express it correctly, we will re-release the photo and let Pikachu answer on it. But I also want to remind Ash in advance , when the photo is shown, Xiaozhi, you can’t answer.”
Xiaozhi replied affirmatively.
"Of course, I believe in my Pikachu, it will definitely give the correct answer."
But there were voices of doubt in the audience.
"Isn't it right? Let Pokémon make such an important decision?"
"This live broadcast won't end here, come on, Pikachu, show us a gym challenge that will be held next."
Gradually, those doubtful voices turned into encouraging voices, and with the sound of the audience waving flags and cheering, the photos of the third round were shown again. Then the noisy voice turned quiet again, and the audience was afraid that their noisy voice would affect Pikachu's decision to make the right choice.
After a while, Pikachu immediately took action and ran straight to the big screen. He stood up, jumped and twisted his body, and used his long tail to swing to the location he wanted. The big screen that Pikachu tapped with its tail swayed slightly, as if it were causing a wave on the vertical screen.
Everyone outside the venue made varying degrees of disappointment. The answer that Pikachu pointed out was actually among the crowd far away from the central square, on the sea outside the square, but a small number of people cheered happily.
Paipa and Guangnan beside Xiaoqing also said happily.
"Great, Pikachu's answer is correct."
Xiaoqing and Ziyuan still looked confused.
"What? Isn't that the surface of the sea? Is Clavel hiding there?"
The truth is often in the hands of a few people. Following the instructions of photographer Nishida, Dian Haiyan, who was holding a camera in the air, gradually zoomed in on the camera. The picture on the big screen gradually enlarged, and the location pointed out by Pikachu gradually became clear. in front of others.
Except for a few waves hitting the sea, a small boat appeared in the gradually zooming-in lens on the originally deserted sea. Clavel was sitting in the small boat with a leisurely look on his face. Noticing the existence of the camera, he waved to the camera and said.
"Oops! Have you been discovered now? Congratulations, Xiaozhi, you have to work hard in the next gym competition!"
The pre-match test ended with Clavell sending his sincere blessings, Qishu returned to the role of anchor and said.
"Great Pikachu, you made the right choice in the third round, and congratulations to Ash for successfully winning this gym with two wins and one loss in the pre-match hide-and-seek test. Qualification to challenge.”
The whole audience was excited, and the much-anticipated gym challenge was about to take place as scheduled. Xiaozhi who was on the field was still belatedly thinking about it and said to himself.
"It turns out that I was hiding in that place. The crowd in the square was just a cover to attract me. It was so dangerous. I almost failed the challenge. You are so awesome Pikachu. Fortunately, you are here."
"Hee hee! Thanks to Ash Ketchum and Pikachu, our atmosphere is as high as ever."
Immediately afterwards, Qishu, who was still laughing and joking, calmed down his character and turned to speak seriously.
"So Xiaozhi, are you ready to face the gym leader Qishu of the Ningguang Gym for a Pokémon battle?"
Xiaozhi also answered seriously.
"Of course, I came here for this purpose."
"Okay, let's get started!"
Following Qishu's order, Nishida regained the camera on Dian Haiyan, and the big screen behind him also changed to live broadcast their battle.
Xiaozhi said in surprise.
"Except for the league competitions we participate in in various regions, there has never been such a grand event for a gym challenge."
At this time, the referee from the Niangguang Gym also appeared in the middle of the two sides, presiding over the Pokémon duel.
"The Gym Challenge is about to begin now. The number of Pokémon used is limited to three. Except for the challenger, the gym leader will not be able to freely exchange the Pokémon he is present. The gym trainer, challenger, and one of the two parties will The game is over when all Pokémon lose their ability to fight. Now, the game officially begins."
After the referee finished speaking, Xiaozhi and Qishu each sent out their Pokémon.
"The decision is yours, go ahead, you duck!"
I saw that the Pokémon that Xiaozhi sent to lead the battle was Ludwig, while the Pokémon that Qishu sent was a Pokémon that Xiaozhi had never seen before.
"Come on, Dian Haiyan!"
"Hmm! Daiden Haiyan?"
Xiaozhi looked at the Pokémon sent by the other party. It looked a bit like Nishida's Electric Petrel, but also felt that it was a little different. He took out his cell phone Rotom and inquired.
"Big Electric Petrel, a frigate bird Pokémon, with electric and flying attributes, the evolved form of Electric Petrel.
The giant electric petrel stores the electricity produced by its wings in its throat sacs and expands the throat sacs to increase the power. It can fly up to 700 kilometers in one day by riding on the wind. But since its feathers contain very little oil, it's not very good at swimming. "
Xiaozhi said after reacting.
"It turns out to be the evolved form of Electric Petrel. That's really great. I couldn't have a Pokémon battle with Nishida's Electric Petrel before, but now I can actually battle with its evolved form, Big Electric Petrel. It's not bad. Runteal Duck , let us win this gym challenge for the first time magnificently!"
"Gada."
Run Shuiya also responded to Xiao Zhi with a handsome tease of his bangs.
Xiaoqing said anxiously in the audience.
"No, Qishu is a master of electric Pokémon, and Xiaozhi's Water Duck attribute is disadvantageous."
Piper responded from the sidelines.
"I think Xiaozhi must have made some complete preparations. Let's wait and see."
Xiaozhi took the lead in ordering.
"Moisturize the duck and use the water wave knife."
As a blade of pressurized water shot out like a blade, it stood upright and slashed hard in the direction of the big electric petrel... but was easily dodged by the big electric petrel. Seeing such an agile Dian Haiyan, the audience couldn't help but burst into applause.
Ash muttered with a sad look on his face.
"Damn it! I didn't expect that after the Big Electric Petrel evolves, its speed will rise to more than one level higher than the speed of the Electric Petrel... What can I do? I can only close the distance and find out the flaws to defeat it."
Qishu ordered.
"Big Electric Petrel, use lightning!"
For a moment, the big electric petrel covered its whole body with electricity, dived and slammed into the water duck to attack. However, Runduiya would not be so obedient. After dodging the attack with a gorgeous posture, he found the right opportunity.
Xiaozhi ordered when the attack of the Big Electric Petrel failed and the electric current covering his body disappeared.
"Use wings to flap quickly!"
It was seen that when Runteal duck escaped the attack of the big electric petrel, its body temporarily stayed in the air, and then fell straight down. It used its wings to attack and landed vertically on the big electric petrel below. After the wing flapping attack stirred up a burst of smoke, the attacked Big Electric Petrel successfully lay on the ground.
"Great, water duck!"
The duck who successfully shot down the big electric petrel still shook his hairstyle coolly after flipping in the air.
There were many fans of Qishu outside the venue. They felt sorry for Dian Haiyan who was shot to the ground. There were also many fans who were amazed by Run Shuiya's nimble skills and clapped their hands and praised him. Xiaoqing and others outside the court also cheered for Xiaozhi's moisturizing duck.
Qishu also praised his opponent.
"Not bad! He is a worthy opponent, but do you think this will be the end?"
Unexpectedly, the downed Dian Haiyan slowly stood up after briefly falling to the ground, and electric currents appeared all over his body from time to time. After being attacked, his whole body glowed as if he had been charged with energy.
Xiaozhi and Runduiya were stunned when they saw it.
