Knights of the Elf World

Chapter 244: Hinokipi Gym

After leaving Muramasa's gym, the two continued to head towards Hinoki Town. At this time, Xichen replaced the Poké Ball that originally contained Onix with a gray heavy ball, because the evolved Outisde was too heavy, and ordinary Poké Balls could not support the weight of Steelix at all, and would be burst by Steelix in minutes. Fortunately, there were heavy balls suitable for heavy Pokémon in Muramasa's gym, otherwise Xichen would not know what to do.

After walking for several hours, Xichen and Nancy arrived at the Hinoki Town. After resting for a day, Xichen came to the Hinoki Gym alone.

As for Nancy, since the Hinoki Gym is a bug-type gym, its compatibility with Nancy is too bad, and Nancy is a girl. Although she doesn't care much, Xichen knows that for a girl, bugs are still a big terror. Although Nancy is not afraid, she still has some resistance in her heart. Moreover, Nancy has been a little tired these days, especially in the dojo. Five days of high-intensity forging made even Nancy, who is a psychic, unable to hold on. She does not have Xichen's abnormal physique.

So Xichen asked her to rest well in the Pokémon Center and he went to challenge the Hinoki Gym alone.

"Excuse me, is anyone there?"

However no one responded.

Helplessly, Xichen had to walk into the Cypress Gym without permission. The interior of the Cypress Gym was like a forest, with a large number of flowers, plants and trees. Along the way, Xichen saw many Bug-type Pokémon, such as Beetles and Metapods, everywhere. The full range of Bug-type Pokémon brought Xichen quite a visual impact.

"Is the gym trainer here?" Xichen asked again.

"I am the gym trainer of the Hinoki Gym."

The voice came from above. Xichen looked up and saw a young man in shorts standing on a tree in front of him.

"who are you?"

"Xichen from Shenhe Town is now challenging the Johto Alliance, so I came here to take away your insect badge!" Xichen responded confidently.

"So you're a challenger, but you're so arrogant." The young man laughed. "My name is A Bi, and I'm known as the Encyclopedia of Bug-type Pokémon. Of course, I welcome challengers, but... can you help me lift up the ladder below? I can't get down."

“Uh…” Xichen’s mouth twitched. This guy looked quite smart and had such a resounding nickname, but he was actually a funny guy. “No wonder no one answered when I called out outside. So that’s how it is. So, if you can’t come down, don’t climb so high!”

"People make mistakes, horses stumble, it's normal, it's normal~" A Bi said awkwardly: "Come with me."

Afterwards, A Bi took Xi Chen to the depths of the forest. It turned out that the battle venue was set up inside the forest. No wonder Xi Chen hadn't seen it for so long.

After both sides took their positions, the referee announced the rules. Just like the Kikyo Gym, it was three versus three!

"Go! The silent warrior among the insect Pokémon, String Ball!" A Bi's vanguard is String Ball.

"Drizzetti, take this gym battle for me!" Xichen used Drizztini. It was about to evolve, so it needed to fight.

Pokémon like Dratini are difficult to cultivate. The difficulty lies in the fact that its evolution requires two conditions. In addition to experience, the number of times it sheds its skin is also very important. Not to mention, Xichen's Dratini has a trace of the blood of the super ancient Dragonite, which is undoubtedly even more difficult. The same is true for evolving from Dragonite to Dragonite.

A long time has passed since the birth of Mini Dragon. Since the Mini Dragon was able to receive training, Xichen has never put it down, but they have not fought many battles because Xichen has always let the Mini Dragon grow in an excellent environment so that it can complete the necessary molting quickly.

But today, it is time to check the results.

"It's Dratini?" A-Bi was still surprised to see Dratini. The gym trainers in each region are more or less connected to each other, so A-Bi naturally knows Dratini's potential: "It's a tough opponent, but it hasn't evolved yet, so I won't lose. String ball, use Silk Spin!"

"Pray for rain!" Xichen roughly estimated the speed of the thread ball's spinning, and at the right time, let the mini dragon use the rain prayer. When the thread flew over, a water ball rose up at the right time, not only blocking the thread ball's spinning, but also exploding and turning the field into a rainy day.

"Change the environment?" A Bi looked solemnly at the field that was already covered with dark clouds and heavy rain: "Line ball, let them see your best tactics!"

Upon hearing the order, the ball of thread continued to spin and fly among the woods, trying to confuse Xichen and the mini dragon's vision and launch a surprise attack when they were not paying attention.

"Heh." Xichen smiled slightly, then waved his hand and said, "Use, thunder!"

boom!

The thick lightning hit the ball of thread accurately, and the powerful blow made the ball lose its combat ability.

"Ball of string!" A Bi quickly took the ball of string back: "I was too careless."

"The string ball loses its ability to fight, and the mini dragon wins!"

Xichen used the tactics of praying for rain and thunder to take the first city.

"You actually used Pray for Rain to correct the hit rate of thunder. Xichen, you are indeed a very good trainer, but let's see what you can do with the next one. Go, the holy fighter among insect Pokémon! Parast!" A Bi sent out the second Pokémon, which was Parast with a huge mushroom on its back.

"In order to deal with thunder, you specially took out the Paraster with grass attribute?" Xichen immediately understood.

"Right, so Dratini's thunder is no longer a threat! Parast, use Mushroom Spores!"

A Bi ordered Parast to use mushroom spores in an attempt to make the Dragonite fall asleep. Xi Chen also had a way to crack this.

"Dragonite, use tornado!" A tornado formed in front of Dragonite, instantly blowing away the mushroom spores in the sky.

"Rush over and use the split skill!" It seems that this Parasite is A-Bi's secret weapon. It is very fast. It uses its pincers to break the tornado and attacks the Dratini.

"Now, freezing ray!" Just as Parast was approaching the Dragonite, Xichen quickly gave the order, and a freezing ray hit Parast directly.

"Oh no, an ice-based trick!" A Bi was horrified. He sent out Parasite just for the thunder that was sure to hit on rainy days, but he didn't expect Dratini to use a freezing ray.

For a mini dragon that can use fire, water, ice and electricity, dealing with attribute restraint is really not too easy.

The double-restrained freezing ray fell on Parast, directly turning it into a large block of ice. Then the Dratini swung its tail and shattered the ice with one tail. The broken ice caused Parast to suffer secondary damage and directly lost its combat ability.
