Chapter 1288: Pokémon Village in the Psychedelic Forest
"Come back, rotten wood demon, you have performed very well. Next,
"Nian Meilong, it's you, get ready to fight."
"Sticky beauty!"
"It's finally the final battle, Shota," said Xiaozhi.
"That's right. I want to use this battle to let Xiaozhi and the others see our growth. We will go all out.
Come on, now is the main event. Although I have collected eight badges, my opponent is you, Xiaozhi. I must defeat you. I want to prove that I can stand on my own. I want to get your recognition. I want to defeat you and prove this to everyone.
Let's begin, Lizard King, use Leaf Blade."
"Nian Meilong, use the closed-door method."
The Slimy Dragon already has four times the resistance to grass, and the retreat greatly increases the physical defense, which is equivalent to eight times the resistance to grass.
The Lizard King used the leaf blade to slash at the slimy dragon, but it had only one eighth of the power, which was basically the same as scraping.
"Lizard King, use the Seed Machine Gun."
"Slimy Dragon, block it and then use the acid bomb."
The Lizard King's seed machine gun also hit the Sticky Dragon head-on, but it was just a scratch. The Sticky Dragon spit out an acid bomb in return and hit the Lizard King with great effect.
Although the basic power of this move is very low, its significance is not in causing damage. What is more important is that this move greatly reduces the Lizard King's special defense, which is not high to begin with.
"Whenever you encounter a situation, you must adapt to it and choose the most suitable move. This is what I learned from Xiaozhi.
Lizard King, use Leaf Storm."
"Slimy Dragon, use the big word Explosion Flame."
The Slimy Dragon spat out a scorching "Big" flame, which instantly devoured all the leaves of the Leaf Storm, and then pressed forward to hit the Lizard King head-on, with outstanding results.
Combined with the previous reduction in Lizard King's special defense, it is equivalent to four times the restraint.
The Lizard King was a very fragile creature to begin with, and he couldn't take on a skill with quadruple restraint. With a thud, the Lizard King fell to the ground and couldn't get up.
"Lizard King lost his ability to fight, and Slimy Dragon won, so the winner is Xiaozhi."
"Well done, Slimy Dragon."
"Sticky beauty!"
"Pikachu!"
"Come back, Lizard King. Thank you for your hard work. Alas, we still can't defeat Xiaozhi.
Xiaozhi, even though I still lost, I became stronger, right? "
"Yeah, I was shocked. You are totally different from the you when we first met in the Kalos area and at the Aromatherapy Gym.
Not only have you become much stronger, but you are now more calm and confident in giving orders to your Pokémon, which is more important."
"Really? Thank you, Xiaozhi."
Shota was extremely happy. To him, being recognized by Satoshi was even more gratifying than winning a hundred battles.
"By the way, Xiaozhi, can I travel with you for a while? I want to watch Xiaozhi's gym battle."
"Okay, then let's all set off for Yingxue City together."
Just like that, Shota temporarily joined Satoshi's team, and the group marched towards Yingxue City in a mighty manner.
Soon, the group arrived at the psychedelic forest on Route 20.
In order to preserve the original natural appearance as much as possible, the road here has become as complicated as a maze.
Route 20 is a lush forest, with some areas having a large tree in the middle.
There are many trails in the forest that lead to different areas depending on the route taken, similar to the Cave of No Return in the Seven Islands.
Since the sunlight is blocked by the trees, nocturnal Pokémon like Owl can be found.
There is no grass around the road near the entrance to the Pokémon Village.
There is Moss Rock here, which can evolve Eevee into Leafeon.
While exploring inside, the group discovered that there were not only wild Pokémon, but also people here.
The man was a middle-aged man with snow-white hair and beard. Even in such a snowy environment, he was only wearing a white vest and black trousers, with a blue coat on the outside. His forearms were exposed to the air. He didn't care about the cold at all and looked like a tough guy.
Xiaozhi recognized that the uncle in front of him was none other than the gym trainer of Yingxue Gym, Defu.
Defu, known as "the passionate and thick ice", is tough on the outside but gentle on the inside.
He has a good relationship with the Pokémon in the Pokémon Village and is respected by them.
A TV show called "Dojo Tales" mentioned that Defu once cried while watching a movie in the Hutch series in a theater.
His catchphrase is "that one".
At this moment, this tough uncle is here, gently taking care of a group of wild Pokémon such as Fletch and Dorimia.
The light in the entire magical forest is very dim, and the dark and humid place is full of Pokémon such as Owl, Zoroark, Ditto, etc.
And here, there is actually a large field of yellow flowers. The sun is shining brightly and the weather is gentle and windy. It is a complete paradise-like scene.
"I didn't expect someone would find this place!"
Defu was very surprised by the arrival of Xiaozhi and his group, but he did not ask any more questions. Instead, he said,
"Do you know where this place is?
This is the Pokémon Village!
It is a paradise for wild Pokémon.
Most of the Pokémon here have escaped from their former trainers. It's really sad to see so many heartless and ungrateful trainers.
In addition, there are some Pokémon that are too powerful to find a place in the outside world.
From the look in this Pikachu's eyes, I can tell that it seems to cherish you very much. You must have been through a lot together."
The Pokémon Village is located at the bottom of Route 20. It is said that many Pokémon live in seclusion here, but it is a place that cannot be reached even if you want to confirm it.
Many Pokémon live here, and most people don't know about it.
Defu, the gym trainer of Yingxue Gym, has a good relationship with the wild Pokémon here, and he comes here often.
In response to Defu's question, Xiaozhi nodded, and Pikachu also nodded.
Seeing this, Defu smiled, turned around and shouted to the Pokémon hiding in the bushes,
"You can come out now. These people are not bad people."
The wild Pokémon that were following them just now were so scared when they saw Xiaozhi and his group coming that they immediately hid in the bushes nearby.
This made Xiaozhi feel distressed. Just as Defu said, most of the Pokémon here had been hurt by humans, so they were so afraid of humans.
Is the distance between Pokémon and humans already so strong?
