At the foot of the mountains, outside the forest.
By the stream.
Xiaozhi and his friends were eating the lunch carefully prepared by Xiaogang.
"Okay, I'm full, Xiaozhi, come and train with me!" Xiaoyao suddenly stood up, with a face full of fighting spirit.
It may be because he was inspired by Harry in the Priga competition, or it may be because he lost to Xiaozhi again in the final stage.
The girl's desire to become stronger was unprecedentedly strong.
More importantly, Xiaozhi has collected all five ribbon medals, and the day of the gorgeous competition is getting closer.
For Xiaoyao, who only has three ribbons and wants to participate in the big celebration with Xiaozhi, there is a strong sense of urgency!
In the following conference, without the big boss Xiaozhi, Xiaoyao was very enthusiastic about the ribbon medal.
They had now left the city of Priga and were on their way to the city of Liuli, crossing the island of Izabe, when they passed by a wooden bridge over a stream.
According to the information Xiaosheng collected, if they quickened their pace, they would be able to catch up with the grand competition to be held in Liuli City soon.
Ever since his sister was taken advantage of by an outsider and got hurt last time, he has been wanting to make it up to Xiaoyao in other ways.
"Let's do it here." Xiaoyao brought Xiaozhi to the vicinity of the wooden bridge and released the Strong Chicken.
She followed Xiaozhi's advice and focused on training one or two main players before the big celebration.
Because the players who are able to participate in large-scale celebrations all have certain battle experience, the level of their Pokémon is unlikely to be low.
Therefore, it will be difficult to stand out just by studying the practice of gorgeous performances.
That's what Xiaozhi said.
"Strong Chicken, it's decided to be you, the lobster!"
"Crab!"
As the two Pokémon appeared, their eyes became fierce.
After all, when the strong chicken was still a chick, the iron claw lobster often teased it.
Their levels are similar and they are good practice objects for each other.
"Then you go first, Xiaoyao." Xiaozhi said with a faint smile and made a gesture of invitation.
Xiaoyao snorted and wrinkled her nose, "No matter who your opponent is, you have to learn to give it your all, but you said it yourself, Xiaozhi!"
"If you take it lightly like this, you'll suffer a great loss."
Good man, you actually taught me a lesson?
Xiaozhi touched his nose awkwardly, and Strong Chicken rushed over.
"Heavenly Fist!"
Bang!
Xiaoyao's bond with the Strong Chicken is very high, and she is no longer the confused girl who had her face washed by the Leaping Fish.
"Xiaoyao feels more and more like Xiaozhi."
Xiaogang squatted by the stream, watching the two people fighting fiercely with a smile, and washed the dishes with the help of Xiaosheng Pikachu and the others.
Judging from Xiaoyao's current appearance, whether it is the fast attack rhythm or the passionate style, it is full of Xiaozhi's shadow!
Bang!
Suddenly, there was a loud noise accompanied by a vibration, and the frightened Xiaogang quickly looked towards Xiaozhi and the others.
When they realized that the noise was not from a battle, they were both shocked.
Moving my sight to the side, I saw that the wooden bridge over the stream was washed away by the rushing current. The broken wood chips splashed onto the water surface, creating ripples that spread in circles far away.
Xiaoyao was frightened by the scene in front of her, her expression was dazed, "What is going on!"
"That's..." Xiaozhi's eyes flashed. Fallen wooden stakes piled up on the stream, and a majestic Pokémon with fine white hair stood in the center.
"It's Absol!"
He recognized the other party's name at a glance. It was the Pokémon he loved very much in his previous life.
Absol
Gender:♦
Level: 42
Attribute: Evil
Features: Oppression
Race value: 465
Qualification: Light blue
Skills: See through, wave of evil...
Cool and handsome, his mega evolved form will be even more charming, with angelic white wings growing.
Xiaozhi was very happy, and went straight forward and took out the advanced ball, "Absol, capture battle!"
"Shu~"
Absol glanced at it calmly and jumped to the shore.
A group of villagers holding various farm tools and sticks appeared from behind it and surrounded it.
"Here!"
"Damn Absol, he destroyed the bridge again!"
They were filled with righteous indignation and pressed forward.
Xiaosheng and Xiaogang ran over, and Xiaoyao was holding the illustrated book and listening to the introduction.
"Absol, the disaster Pokémon, lives deep in the rugged mountains and almost never appears in populated areas."
"But it is said that when it appears in front of people, disaster will surely happen."
After hearing this, Xiaoyao's face turned pale and he said unnaturally, "Does this mean that something bad will happen to us next?"
"Of course not!"
Xiaozhi's voice suddenly rose, and he leaped to the other side. He said seriously, "Absol is not a disaster Pokémon, but a Pokémon that uses its appearance to warn the world and avoid natural disasters."
"Every disaster turns into a blessing, every disaster turns into a blessing. Absol is not a disaster beast, but a lucky beast!"
His voice was so powerful that even the excited villagers were stunned for a moment.
Absol looked at Xiaozhi in surprise. It didn't expect that a human could have such a clear understanding.
The crystal light flows in the pupils, which is a kind of emotion of being understood.
"Whether you believe it or not, please be patient." Xiaozhi looked at the villagers' hesitant expressions and came to Absol's side. "Absol, can you take us to see what you know?"
Absol did not hesitate and completely believed Xiaozhi.
It slowly turned around and walked slowly towards the depths of the mountains. It looked back slightly and motioned everyone to follow it.
"Let's go."
Xiaozhi didn't say much and followed him first.
Absol is an evil-attributed Pokémon, but it has a very kind personality. It has a sickle-shaped horn on one side of its head, and has the ability to sense dangers in nature, just like a detector.
So when the hazard appears close to where humans exist, it will show up.
But because of poor communication, everyone often regards it as the culprit of the disaster.
Regarding this, Xiaozhi felt it necessary to find time to discuss with Professor Oak about completing the information.
After all, we can't let heroes bleed and shed tears!
As we got closer to the mountains, the sound of gurgling water became clearer and more frequent.
The ground under my feet also changed from dry to wet.
"I see." Xiaozhi understood the situation, and everyone stopped in front of the mountain where the water source was.
"The water here is always bubbling out!" Xiaosheng pointed at the water that was constantly overflowing from the rock wall, looking surprised.
The villagers were startled and realized something. "This large water vein under the rock is the source of the river, but there shouldn't have been any water seeping here before."
"That's why the river flow has become more rapid, because the water overflowing from the water veins has increased."
"And judging from the situation, it won't be a short-term thing. If it continues like this, the rock wall will be soaked and corroded, and a flood of water will collapse down!"
"Absol appears so frequently to tell you not to get close to that bridge!"
These words shocked the villagers collectively.
If that were the case, their village would be doomed!
However, as if to verify what Xiaozhi said, the rock wall suddenly cracked at this moment, and with a bang, a huge wave of water hit everyone.
"Oh no! Kirlia, Milotic, Smurf, and Swampert, help!" Xiaozhi quickly threw out his Pokémon.
Absol also joined the rescue team. He arched his neck and threw Xiaoyao and Xiaosheng behind him, and reached the hillside in a few jumps.
Kirlia and the others used various methods to rescue the rest of the villagers.
"This flood is more serious than I thought. If only we could have done something about it beforehand." Xiaozhi frowned and looked around, trying to find a breakthrough.
Upon hearing this, the villagers felt remorseful and ashamed of Absol.
They had no other options but to anxiously ask Xiaozhi for help, "Please help us, boy."
"Got it!" Xiaozhi stared at a huge round rock on the top of the mountain. If it could be broken and rolled down, it would be enough to block the surging flood.
"Everyone, release your Pokémon and attack the base of that rock!"
Xiaozhi gave orders loudly, and Xiaogang and Xiaoyao quickly joined in to help.
A variety of energy attacks are output crazily.
The addition of Absol's destructive death ray was like the last straw, causing the rocks to collapse and fall onto the path where the water passed.
"Huh~" Xiaozhi's forehead was covered with cold sweat. He heaved a sigh of relief and smiled, showing his white teeth. "Done!"
The crisis was resolved and the villagers cheered.
But when it comes to water management, it is better to drain than to block. Xiaozhi suggested that they could open more channels to prevent similar incidents from happening in the future.
At Ash's invitation, Absol readily joined the team.
Xiaozhi gained another cold and beautiful woman, which made him smile happily, and he temporarily exchanged the Coal Turtle back.
Next, they will cross the mountains and head to the town of Seros, which has a dock.
