Chapter 317: Autumn Leaves Spring Festival, Card Squirtle Joins the Battle

Akiba Town, a medium-sized town in the northwest of the Hoenn region.

Not big, but very important.

Because it is very close to the active volcano Chimney Mountain, volcanic ash falls all year round.

As a result, the land here is very fertile, and it has naturally developed into an important agricultural town.

At this time, Mingzheng rode on the strange horned deer, looking at the endless wheat fields from afar.

The breeze blew, and the wheat fields swayed like waves, which made people feel relaxed and happy.

"Ding~"

Sai Fuhao appeared from nowhere, and was very interested in the golden wheat fields. He even wanted to play hide-and-seek and let Mingzheng come to find him.

"I admit defeat, your color is exactly the same as here, I will definitely not find you if you hide!"

Mingzheng was seriously fooling around, but Sai Fuhao took it seriously and flew around excitedly.

The strange horned deer rolled his eyes, and was too lazy to remind Sai Fuhao.

It and Mingzheng both have superpowers, and it's just a matter of exploring you.

After laughing and joking, the strange-horned deer continued to carry Mingzheng to Qiuye Town in the middle of the wheat field. Sai Fuhao flew to Mingzheng and talked about business.

"Still following? What does it want to do..."

Mingzheng was surprised. Qixi Bluebird had successfully escaped with his influence and successfully dealt with its ill-intentioned fellows on the way. Why was it still following him?

'Does he really like me? '

Mingzheng said to himself, and then shook his head to dispel it.

The three major illusions in life are that I am awesome, it is still early, and he likes me!

Mingzheng does not want to be a person without self-knowledge.

Crossing the wheat field, Mingzheng entered Qiuye Town. There were almost no high-rise buildings on the simple streets, and the 10-story Devon Hotel was already very conspicuous.

After checking in, Mingzheng turned to the elf center next to him and prepared to give his partners a full-body check-up.

After handing the elf to Miss Joy, Mingzheng saw the huge poster posted outside the lounge.

[Autumn Leaves and Spring Festival, Decisive Battle in the Countryside]

"There will be a festival fair and a Pokémon battle. Only water, ground and grass Pokémon are allowed to participate in the battle. The winning prize is a set of saplings of rare tree fruits?"

Mingzheng finished reading silently, and he was quite interested because the time was just right, the day after tomorrow.

"You can still sign up if you want to participate!"

A familiar voice sounded behind him. Mingzheng turned around and found that it was Xiaoji, who he had met once in Kankan Cave. Next to her, there was another heroic girl.

"What a coincidence, you are here too?!"

"Well, I passed by and saw there was a competition, so I stayed temporarily." As she said that, Xiaoji also took the initiative to introduce Mingzheng to the girl next to her.

"Izumi, this is Mingzheng, a very powerful trainer! Mingzheng helped me when I was training in Kankan Cave."

Mingzheng looked at the heroic girl with big wavy burgundy hair in front of him, and immediately corresponded with a person in the original book.

The first cadre of the Marine Team, Izumi!

The future battle leader and the future Marine Team cadre are now friends?

Mingzheng just felt that this world is really small!

However, Mingzheng just nodded to Quanmei calmly, without any abnormality.

But Quanmei was obviously very interested in him, and asked excitedly.

"Is it you said that the Uglius will evolve into Milotic?"

"..."

Xiaoji on the side immediately stopped Quanmei in panic, and apologized: "I didn't disbelieve you, I shared it with Quanmei because I believed it."

As she said that, Xiaoji had already pulled Quanmei back, but her face flushed.

After all, sharing is different from sharing who shared it with her.

Mingzheng didn't mind, and didn't even think so much, but turned the topic back to the Akihabara Spring Festival.

"Are there any other restrictions for this registration?"

"In addition to the restrictions on the attributes of the elves, the level cannot exceed the elite level, and then each person can register up to two elves that meet the requirements to replace them.

Well, all the games in the Spring Festival are 1V1 singles."

Xiao Ji immediately said like a treasure, and Quan Mei's big eyes kept moving around Mingzheng and Xiao Ji, with an expression that I must eat this melon.

But Mingzheng was indifferent, and after saying goodbye, he walked towards the registration desk.

Five minutes later, Mingzheng registered and found that Xiao Ji and Quan Mei were still standing there.

"We have all registered, why don't we warm up before the game?"

The familiar Quan Mei took the initiative to say.

Mingzheng pointed in the direction where Miss Joy left, "My elves are still healing, you go."

"Then tomorrow!"

"If there is time," Mingzheng said perfunctorily.

Before he was sure what Quan Mei's current identity was, Mingzheng really didn't want to have more involvement with her.

Including Xiao Ji, Mingzheng was ready to go back and check it carefully.

The local underground forces may not be strong, but it will be troublesome to fight against them. This is the conclusion Mingzheng came to after encountering the Kongo Team.

So if it is not necessary, he does not want to have any contact with the Flame Team, the Ocean Team and the like in the Hoenn region.

It is not that he is afraid, but it is mainly annoying.

What's more, he has the identity of the Rocket Team, and there is no cooperation between the underground forces.

Well... at least not now.

The two of them also clearly heard Mingzheng's carelessness. Xiaoji gently pulled Izumi and took the initiative to end the topic.

"Then let's all play and cheer!"

"Yeah, cheer!"

Mingzheng nodded and watched the two leave.

Judging from the expressions of the two after they turned around, Mingzheng obviously did not leave a good impression on Izumi.

That's good!

Mingzheng smiled, sat back in the waiting area and looked up information about the Spring Festival, and soon he had a more detailed understanding.

Time passed, and it was the day of the Spring Festival.

Xiaoji and Quanmei did not come to Mingzheng again, and Mingzheng also found more detailed information about the two.

Xiaoji's identity was relatively simple, and there was no big problem.

But Quanmei was different. There was a two-year blank period of information. Combined with her future identity, if nothing unexpected happened, she had joined the Marine Team.

It was right to avoid!

Mingzheng thought so, and then he saw the figures of the two women on the busy main street of the Spring Festival.

It really is... impossible to avoid!

At this time, the two also saw Mingzheng head-on. After hesitating, Xiaoji still pulled Quanmei over.

"Are you here for shopping too?"

"Ah... yes." After a pause, Mingzheng took the initiative to add a sentence; "How are the preparations for the game? Are you going to let Qingteng Snake play?"

"It's hard to say, after all, you didn't participate in our pre-training warm-up."

Quanmei on the side suddenly said, obviously upset about Mingzheng's attitude at the Pokémon Center before.

Xiaoji nodded without minding. In this kind of 1V1 game with such strict attribute restrictions, the exposure of Pokémon in advance actually has little impact.

"But if there is a chance, I want to let Chuchuu play."

"It's hatched, congratulations!"

Mingzheng smiled and thanked more sincerely. After all, not everyone's Chuchuu can evolve into Milotica.

If Xiaoji can be cultivated, Mingzheng will also have a little credit in the future.

"Lucky, I just bought all the things needed for hatching, and it responded."

"What a coincidence? Maybe you and the clown fish are destined to be together!"

"Hmm..."

Quan Mei, who was standing by, was angry when she saw the two people chatting enthusiastically.

But her mission this time was to get Xiao Ji to join the Ocean Team. She had previously expressed her support for Xiao Ji's training of the clown fish, and the two gradually became familiar with each other.

Therefore, she must be stable and not be impulsive.

"Xiao Ji's clown fish is different. I dare say it is definitely the best-looking one among the clown fish!"

Quan Mei suddenly interrupted, making both of them stunned.

It was Xiao Ji who reacted first and shook her head with a smile.

"How did you see that? How come I didn't know?"

"I am the future master of water spirits, and I saw it!"

Quan Mei deliberately played a joke, with her delicate face and big wavy wine-red hair, she was really beautiful.

Xiao Ji laughed heartily, thinking that her new friend was really a funny guy and very interesting.

At this time, Mingzheng also smiled faintly, but his heart was extremely alert.

At first, he was sarcastic, and now he was playing tricks to make people laugh. If he said that Quanmei had no problem, then his brain was abnormal.

Seeing that today's social activities were over, Mingzheng pointed to the stall in front.

"I want to go over there and see you later at the stadium?"

"See you at the stadium!"

"Bye!"

After saying goodbye to the two, Mingzheng turned and entered an alley.

Before, he had investigated the intelligence himself. When he knew that Quanmei had a problem, he stopped and thought that it would be fine if he didn't contact her.

But this time, let's use the power of the Rockets!

Thinking of this, Mingzheng took a detour and came to an ordinary rice, flour, grain and oil store.

...

An hour later, Mingzheng followed the crowd to the competition venue of the Spring Festival.

The three enclosed battle fields were in the center of the field, surrounded by spectators on all sides, and the atmosphere was very lively.

Mingzheng looked at the special battle field composed of soft farmland + winding streams, and his heart was filled with expectations.

This is really very characteristic of the Spring Festival.

After entering and confirming the registration information, Mingzheng released the only Squirtle that met the requirements for the competition.

Its elite advanced strength was already the upper limit of the registration, and Squirtle was also very rare in the Hoenn region, so it immediately attracted the attention of the people around.

At this time, there was less than half an hour before the official start of the competition, and many registered trainers had also arrived.

Mingzheng took a rough look and found that the players were still mainly local farmers.

But everyone looked happy, as if the main point was participation.

However, since the reward was a sapling of rare tree fruits, I think there would still be people who wanted to compete.

There were also several traveling trainers like Mingzheng and Xiaoji, who were full of confidence and obviously did not think that the simple and honest farmers could be strong.

Soon, the competition began, and three venues were held at the same time, and six players took the stage one after another.

Coincidentally, Xiaoji was in the first batch, and as soon as his ugly fish that fell into the stream appeared, he instantly became the focus of the whole audience.

Compared with Thistle, not many people care about the Diglett vs. Swimming Weasel and Sandshrew vs. Poison Rose.

And Fishclown...

"Hey, is this a Pokémon? It's too ugly!"

"What an ugly fish, look at your eyes!"

"This is the strength of a travel trainer, no way no way..."

Questioning, mocking, and doubtful voices sounded, making Fishclown, who seemed stupid but was actually smart and sensitive, almost cry out of grievance.

Just at this time, the referee had already waved the flag, signaling the start of the game.

"Meimei, don't care about what others say, believe in yourself, you have your own beauty!

Let the opponent try this trick!

Dragon Wave!"

For training a clown, spiritual support is far more important than simply winning.

As one of the future battle leaders, Xiao Ji obviously has excellent talent as a trainer and has also studied the training method seriously.

This seemingly long-winded command can at least allow the clown to exert its normal strength.

What's more, this clown is not ordinary!

"Msssss~"

The senior clown suddenly jumped out of the stream, then gathered its purple-red light all over its body, and then opened its mouth and spit it out!

The next second, the dragon-shaped energy wave roared out and hit the Stupid Fire Camel, who was embarrassed to attack such an ugly opponent first because of his face!

Bang!

The dragon wave exploded, and the screams of the Stupid Fire Camel were particularly obvious in the silent competition field.

"That...that fish..."

"No way, a dragon..."

"A dragon?"

"It probably just happens to know a few dragon skills."

"Next, water wave!"

"Yiyi!"

Without giving the audience time to react, another blue water bullet whistled out and successfully harvested the senior-level Daihuotu.

Chouchouyu won the first battle, and Daiyi's eyes curved into a slit, and finally jumped into Xiaoji's arms.

Xiaoji didn't mind getting his clothes dirty, and just smiled to comfort the excited Chouchouyu.

"I told you, Xiaoji's Chouchouyu is very powerful!"

Quanmei suddenly appeared beside Mingzheng who was watching the game, and said something she didn't seem to have said before.

Mingzheng was silent and nodded perfunctorily.

Quanmei felt Mingzheng's alienation again. She reviewed the whole process of getting to know him and confirmed that there was no flaw.

Could it be that Mingzheng just didn't like her kind of enthusiastic and cheerful girl?

This is difficult!

Quanmei pursed her lips, feeling depressed.

Just now, she received detailed information about Mingzheng from the Marine Team's intelligence officer.

Except for the fact that his identity as a member of the Rocket Team was not revealed, Izumi already knew all of Mingzheng's other experiences and achievements.

Obviously, he was a more worthy target than Xiaoji, but also more difficult to conquer.

Too much is as bad as too little, Izumi did not pester Mingzheng anymore, she was ready to find an opportunity for Mingzheng to get to know her again.

Then, Izumi took the initiative to run up to greet Xiaoji who had just won.

Come one by one!

First, my bestie!

Izumi thought, gave Xiaoji a warm hug, and then turned to go on the court.

It was Izumi's turn to play in the second round. A ferocious elite Megalodon easily defeated the opponent's Lotus Hat Kid and advanced to the next round.

After Izumi finished, Mingzheng also appeared in the third round.

Squirtle appeared on the stage, and with a mediocre freezing beam, he easily froze the opponent's proboscis leaf and finished the game.

The first few rounds of the battle were obviously not challenging.

Mingzheng was very calm, and Kame was even less concerned.

It only cared about one opponent.

It was not Izumi's Megalodon, but the rebel Green Ivy Snake that Xiaoji had not yet appeared!
