Chapter 67 The Rockets make a comeback, and player No. 8 makes a mysterious appearance
Amid Xiaozhi's panic, the duck in front also noticed the danger falling from the sky, and immediately accelerated its movement. After stopping at a corner, Xiaozhi successfully escaped from the danger.
Xiaozhi, who was still frightened, said in panic.
"What kind of Pokémon is that?"
As he said that, he used his cell phone Rotom to check and found out.
"Light cod, removes Pokémon, water type and super power type. It has strong regeneration ability and will discard the fat on its body to make itself lighter before attacking prey. Giving up unnecessary meat can make the soul free Through hard work, the mental strength is improved. The fat meat has a light taste, but it is very delicious. But even from 20 meters away, sea gophers can smell the smell of light cod."
Just when Xiaozhi learned what kind of Pokémon the other party was, the Cod turned its gun and once again launched an impact in the direction of Xiaozhi and the others. The Teal immediately took Xiaozhi into action and quickly evaded it.
There was only a gap of one second, and he was almost attacked by the light cod, and passed by Xiaozhi. Xiaozhi also discovered that although the light cod is full of aggressiveness, it is rampant. Although it has good speed, it lacks maneuverability. Rampage is both its strength and its weakness.
Xiaozhi immediately had an idea and said.
"Running Duck, let's not go straight. As we move, we keep changing the direction of movement, moving forward in a snake-like motion."
Along the way, Runduck followed Xiaozhi's instructions and moved towards the buoy ahead while constantly changing its angle, swaying left and right to dodge... The further they advanced, the deeper they entered the territory of wild cods. A large number of cods also attacked Xiaozhi and the others. By twisting and turning, they avoided the water jet attacks of the cods one after another.
Suddenly, a Dragon's Fury attack struck in front of Xiaozhi and the others...
"Run the duck, use the water wave knife!"
Raising the knife with his hand, Runduiya neatly cut the Dragon's Wrath attack in front of him in two. The attack landed diagonally to the left and right behind him, exploding into waves and splashing Xiaozhi behind him with another mouthful. of seawater...
"Why are all the messy things flying towards us!"
It turned out to be the No. 5 player in the same competition. His Gyarados was fighting those wild light cods, and he had no time to take care of Ash, who was approaching behind them.
The other party said loudly.
"I'm sorry, my Gyarados was being attacked by these wild cods and was furious. He launched attacks randomly, causing Gyarados' Dragon Rage attack to accidentally affect you. These cods are too annoying. Already..."
With that said, Gyarados was seriously injured under the jets of water from the light cods, and collapsed. Just when the No. 5 player on Gyarados was almost attacked...
"Running Duck, use the Air Blade!"
The water duck jumped out of the water, flapped its wings, and launched an air blade attack. It successfully knocked down three or two light cods that also jumped out of the water and were about to attack Contestant No. 5. The light cods felt flinched and fled here one after another.
Facing the panicked No. 5 player and the Gyarados who lost the ability to fight under him, Xiaozhi asked.
"Is everything okay, you guys?"
The other party waved.
"Thank you for your help, but the cod is an extremely vindictive and territorial Pokémon. You should move forward quickly, there will be a steady stream of wild cods coming."
Sure enough, under the kind reminder of the other party, undercurrents surged in all directions behind Xiaozhi, and more and more sharp purple-red fins emerged from the water, with clear goals, attacking Xiaozhi and Runduck.
"Okay, thank you for reminding me. We will lure these light cods away now. You can take this opportunity to send Gyarados to the Pokémon Center as soon as possible!"
Looking at the backs of Xiaozhi and Teal, attracting the wild light body cod group to leave, Player No. 5 said loudly after taking back the Gyarados.
"Thank you and I wish you can win the championship!"
"Contestant No. 5 is out, and the difficulty of this surfing competition also arises, that is, the track will have to overlap with the territory of wild cod. Although their strength is uneven, they cannot withstand their large numbers. Please stay. The players dealt with it carefully..."
In the front-end team of the surfing competition, player No. 2 and Gotha Duck, player No. 7 and snorkeling weasel are also struggling to fight back the attack from wild light cod.
"Gotha Duck, use phantom light!"
"Snorkeling Weasel, use high-speed stars!"
When the two trainers were faced with the sudden appearance of a large number of cod, they decided to work together to fight together, and finally drove away most of the cod... Unexpectedly, among them, the Leaping Duck pulled Zhu Qiren galloped past the two of them.
Unexpectedly, they worked hard to make a wedding dress for someone else, and the two Pokémon who had almost cleaned up the scene were exhausted. At the same time, they had to deal with the newcomers from Qi Ren and Yongyue Duck. of wild light cod.
The referee on Egg Bao Island explained.
"When a group of wild cod appear on the track, you can fight alone or work together. Of course, you can ignore them and move forward at full speed. It depends on how the players and their Pokémon respond."
Just when the two players were surrounded, Xiaozhi and Runduck, who were hurrying slowly, finally arrived.
"Moisturize the duck, use water jet!"
A water column hit, passing by the sea level, stirring up layers of waves, forming a water curtain, separating the two players from the wild light cod.
Ash, who continued to fly forward, turned and shouted at the two players behind him.
"Stop standing still and run!"
Amidst Xiaozhi's shouts, the two players realized that the huge waves that Xiaozhi and Runduck deliberately set off were to create "smoke bombs" for them to create an opportunity to escape.
"Gotha Duck/Snorkeling Weasel, let's go!"
Then, the three trainers left there one after another..., one of the trainers said gratefully.
"Thank you, Contestant No. 4, for helping us break through!"
Xiaozhi also said evasively.
"It's nothing. After all, it's us who disturbed the peace of this group of cod..."
Seeing this scene, everyone on Danbao Island and the players present breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiaoqing's palms were sweating.
"These cod are so scary. They run rampant and attack aggressively, just like Kentero on the ocean."
Piper smiled and said.
"You can't blame them. Whether it's Kentero or light cod, it's humans who disturbed their living environment first."
The referee continues to preside over the situation
"It's really a near miss. The remaining contestants have also successfully avoided the attacks of wild water Pokémon. There are still... four contestants left..., wait what you say..."
At the referee's headset, he switched to other staff's communications and asked, holding the headset next to his ear.
"You said, there is another player joining..."
Xiaozhi, who had successfully shaken off the pursuit of the light cod, and the other two players advanced together, and the other player turned to look behind him.
"Great, got rid of them already!"
Not only that, the figure of Qi Ren, who was in the first position at the front, also gradually appeared in Xiaozhi's field of vision. Qiren also noticed the presence of Xiaozhi and the others behind him, turned his head and said to Xiaozhi.
"You can actually persist until now. It seems that I really underestimated you, Xiaozhi."
Xiaozhi shot back.
"You're not bad either, Qi Ren. It seems that the champion of the last surfing competition is well-deserved."
Suddenly, a buoy with a red flag not far away came into view of Xiaozhi and the others.
"That's the turnaround buoy, right? It also means that the race is halfway through!"
The audience on Danbao Island also knew the current situation.
"what is that?"
Xiaoqing looked down through the lens projected on the screen. There seemed to be a huge black shadow under the buoy, and more and more viewers present noticed it. But Xiaozhi and others on the sea level haven't noticed yet...
"It's about to hit!"
The four players were thrown out of the curve and bypassed the buoy at the prescribed position. When they were about to speed up and turn back, a huge net appeared from the bottom up, and the four players, including Xiaozhi, and the four Pokémon were trapped. They all were netted together, and the mechanical arm stretched out from the bottom of the sea, holding the net bag, lifted Xiaozhi and the others out of the sea level.
Just when everyone was confused, Xiaozhi asked loudly.
"What the hell is this?"
I saw a dilapidated Magikarp submarine surfaced together, and the familiar dialogue sounded again.
"I heard the voice of 'What the hell is this?' Since you sincerely ask for advice..."
"...We are Team Rocket, that's it, Meow, Sonnens!"
Xiaozhi said angrily.
"Team Rocket! Why is it you again!"
I saw Team Rocket and others holding iron buckets one by one, scooping out the seawater pouring into the broken submarine, and replied angrily.
"It's not all thanks to you little ghosts that you blew us up and destroyed the submarine, causing us to stop and manually drain the water while moving forward! ... But because of this, we flew down here On Danbao Island, I know the information that you are going to pass here in advance, and prepare an ambush here in advance."
Keiren shouted eagerly.
"Damn it, you actually interrupted our surfing competition. Oops, everyone is in the air and trapped in their net pockets. They can't move their hands, and they can't reach the Poké Ball."
"Hahaha, just stay calm and build the Padia branch of Team Rocket to expand their combat capabilities, meow!"
Everyone on Danbao Island, which is six hundred nautical miles away, is helpless. Distant water cannot save nearby fire.
Pikachu was anxious and so angry that the electricity couldn't be suppressed and crackled.
"It's Team Rocket again! They haven't learned from what happened on the beach before. They are such a cunning group of guys..."
Suddenly, things took a turn for the better. On the sea level, a mysterious black shadow moved towards Xiaozhi and Team Rocket at an extremely fast speed.
"...What are you talking about? There is also an eighth contestant joining! Sorry, viewers, while all of our attention is attracted by the seven contestants on the screen, there is another latecomer at the pier. Player No. 8 quietly joins the game.”
"what?"
This incredible question burst out from the audience.
When Team Rocket's submarine was returning with a full load, a surfer paddled past, lapping the sea surface and making a rustling sound, getting closer and closer to them.
"What, is someone approaching? Meow!"
A familiar voice from Xiaozhi came...
"Xiao Zhi! I'm coming..."
"It's you!"
The referee on the field also introduced at the same time.
"...Contestant No. 8 is Nemo and her Popper Dolphin."
"Nemo, you're here!"
Xiaozhi was overjoyed. Nemo finally arrived at the game at the last moment, and was able to successfully catch up with him at a very fast speed even though other players had been waiting for such a long time. At the same time, Popper's dolphin's condition was also restored. Yes, the swimming speed is terrifying.
"It's you! The little girl who escaped beforehand came just in time. Let's officially accept that Popper dolphin!"
"You have a beautiful idea! Pop Dolphin, use acrobatics!"
Nemo released her grip and tied the reins of Popper's dolphin. Popper's dolphin immediately jumped out of the water at an incredible speed. The speed was so fast that only an afterimage was left in everyone's eyes.
Popper's dolphin has fallen behind Team Rocket's submarine, and the net bag has been torn into pieces unknowingly. At the same time, the Magikarp submarine that Team Rocket was riding has been completely scrapped and turned into pieces. Everyone fell into in water.
Team Rocket emerged from the water and spat out the sea water in their mouths.
"Why do I have a bad premonition about this plot!"
"Hey, this is the second time today, you say that!"
"That's it again, nya!"
Nemo pointed at Team Rocket who fell into the water and ordered.
"Pop's dolphin, use the water to tail!"
Popper's dolphin waved its big tail like a stormy wave and attacked Team Rocket, knocking them into the air, accompanied by...
"What a disgusting feeling!"
...became stars in the sky.
The audience cheered.
"Great, the unexpected incident is over, which has also increased the difficulty of this competition. All the players have handled it very well... But the competition is not over yet, let the competition continue!"
Qi Ren, who was out of danger, asked curiously.
"You, who on earth are you!"
Nimo raised a finger in front of him and said.
"The game is not over yet, let's wait until after the game is over!"
Looking at the exhausted Gotha Duck and Snorkeling Weasel, Contestant No. 2 and Contestant No. 7 said to Xiaozhi and the others.
"The rest of the game depends on you, and our Pokémon are exhausted."
Nemo replied approvingly.
"Well done. Pay close attention to your Pokémon's mental state and don't do anything to force the Pokémon. You are a good trainer."
Facing the elimination of two more players, only player No. 1 Qi Ren and Yongyue Duck, No. 4 player Xiaozhi and Runduck, and No. 8 player Nemo and Pop Dolphin who joined behind. The three go hand in hand, and the final champion will be decided among them.
