Chapter 31
The Despicable Duo
At this time.
Xia Mu used his phone to look around.
"As everyone knows, the Fanbado Gym is a Ground-type Gym!"
"So, what counters Ground-type attributes is...?"
"Purple Taro, please answer!"
Purple Taro was naturally not intimidated by such a basic question.
"Water, Grass, and Ice types are all effective. It's worth noting that Electric-type moves are ineffective against Ground-type Pokémon!"
Clapping!
Xia Mu immediately clapped.
"Thank you for your answer, Purple Taro!"
"So..."
Xia Mu pointed the camera towards the sky.
"You can see many Flying-type Pokémon in the air above the Sailbridge. Among them, Swane, as a Water and Flying-type Pokémon, can be used as a supplementary force when challenging the Sailbridge Gym."
Alternatively, catching Water-type Pokémon at the nearby beach is also a viable option!
Of course, since the streamer already has a Grass-type Pokémon, there's no need to specifically catch any this time!
As he recited his lines, Xia Mu got on his bicycle.
Natsuki had been looking forward to encountering a biker gang blocking his way on the Fanba Bridge and then having a big fight with them.
To accumulate more material for myself.
pity.
The two crossed the Fanba suspension bridge smoothly, passed the floating island with the fragments of sculptures, and finally crossed another bridge.
finally.
We arrived at the Pokémon Center in Fanba City.
Natsuki did not rush to the Fanba Dojo to challenge it.
"First, go to the Sailbar Market and sell the Cinnabar's oil and poison spores, then find the Wyvern, and finally challenge the Gym Leader, how about that?"
Purple Taro nodded.
They agreed to Xia Mu's suggestion.
Or.
Ziyu, in particular, raised both hands and feet in agreement with Xia Mu's suggestion.
Ever since hearing about the black market in Fanba City yesterday, Purple Taro has been thinking about how Kiku-sama always wanted to hand over the gym to her when he was busy.
This put a lot of pressure on Ziyu.
For a moment, I didn't even want to go back to the dojo.
After reaching a consensus.
Led by Ziyu, Xia Mu headed towards Fanba Market.
Along the way, Ziyu introduced the situation of Fanba City to Xiamu.
Fanba City is known as the gateway to the Unova region.
It is a port city for the flow of many goods.
Unlike Fei Yun City, which mainly relies on passenger transport, strong winds are present all the time here, making sailing very popular.
The south side of the city leads to the cold storage warehouse, the west side leads to the Fanba Market, the northwest corner connects to Road 6, and the east side is the Fanba Suspension Bridge.
The port is located in the south of the city, where many cargo ships and fishing boats are moored.
"There used to be a lighthouse here when I was little...it was unfortunately demolished later."
Ziyu and Xiamu recounted their childhood stories.
And at that very moment.
"Meow!"
Shin-chan, who was perched on Natsuki's shoulder, suddenly jumped to the ground.
"Meow, meow!"
With Shin-Ye-Nyan's prompting, Natsuki noticed the woman not far away.
"Miss Wanlong!"
Xia Mu didn't expect that before he could even go looking for it, he would run into Wanlong near the market.
"Natsuki!"
Wanlong also seemed somewhat surprised.
Clearly, she hadn't expected to run into Xia Mu here.
and.
"Are you Little Purple Taro?"
"Long time no see, Sister Wanlong!"
Ziyu smiled and nodded at Wanlong.
Obviously.
As the daughter of a veteran museum owner, Wanlong and Ziyu also became acquainted.
Then.
The two sides then began exchanging pleasantries.
Have you eaten?
"have eaten!"
"What did you eat?"
"Stir-fried noodles!"
"Is it tasty?"
"The noodles are cooked to perfection, achieving a perfect balance between chewy and soft; the sauce is layered, with the savory flavor of soy sauce, the caramel aroma of dark soy sauce, and a touch of chili oil forming a flavor triangle. The ingredients follow traditional methods..."
Watching Xia Mu talk on and on, Wanlong couldn't help but swallow hard.
"I want to eat it, please take me there~"
"no problem!"
Ziyu stared blankly at the two of them singing in unison.
"Wait a minute, the fried noodles we're eating at are on Route 5!?"
"It's okay!"
Wanlong pushed up his glasses.
"Clay Giant, take us flying!"
The Poké Ball around the dragon's waist exploded, and a Claydol emerged from it.
Without any hesitation, the Claydol took off straight into the air, carrying the three people in front of it.
If Natsuki hadn't reacted quickly and pulled out a Poké Ball...
Shin-chan almost got left at Fanba Market.
then.
After a busy morning.
Xia Mu and Zi Yu returned to the guesthouse on Route 5 once again.
......
"Ah, this tastes really good!"
Wanlong sat on a small stool by the street, rubbing his belly and letting out a satisfied sigh.
"Although it tastes really good, but..."
Purple Taro never expected this.
It's surprising that Ms. Wanlong, who seems so intellectual, also has such a free-spirited side.
We set off for Fanba City early in the morning, and after finally arriving at our destination, we were suddenly taken back to Route 5 by Wanlong.
"Xia Mu, tell us about Miss Wanlong too!"
"ah?!"
Xia Mu, who was stuffing fried noodles into her mouth, looked up blankly.
"never mind!"
Ziyu never expected that she would encounter such unreliable people.
"Relax, that's how travel is. You never know what might happen, right, Shin-chan?"
"Meow!"
New Leaf Cat raises its right paw.
I unconditionally agree with everything Xia Mu said.
Lying on Xia Mu's legs, Xin Ye Miao looked at Wan Long with curious eyes.
After Xia Mu finished chatting with Wanlong.
In order to capitalize on Wanlong's popularity later, Xia Mu specifically searched for and watched many videos of Wanlong's exhibition matches.
On one hand, it's to understand the fighting style of the Wyvern, and on the other hand, it's to learn how the Wyvern uses the Mud Golem.
after all.
Perhaps there are some hidden powerhouses.
But from the current perspective...
The easiest to find, and the strongest user of the Clay Golem, is the Unova Elite Four member, Wandragon.
During the time she spent watching videos with Xia Mu, Xin Ye Miao also took notice of the woman dressed in all black in front of her.
Especially after hearing Xia Mu say that the Winding Dragon was helpful to the Clay Giant's situation, Xin Ye Miao memorized it deeply.
and so.
Shin-chan was able to notice the presence of the Winding Dragon even though Natsuki hadn't noticed it.
"Alright! I'm full!"
Having eaten and drunk his fill, Wanlong stood up and looked at Xia Mu.
"You can learn everything about Pokémon and Trainers through battles! That's a line I read in a recent novel. Regarding the issue of Golem, let's have a battle!"
"I couldn't ask for more!"
Xia Mu stood up, not to be outdone.
"I know there's a battlefield nearby!"
"very good!"
Then.
The two quickly left.
Seeing this scene.
Ziyu was stunned.
He then quickly stood up.
"Wait for me..."
But before Ziyu could catch up, an older woman with a towel tied around her head stopped her.
"You haven't paid yet!"
"Feel sorry!"
Ziyu quickly took out her wallet.
At this time.
Not far away.
"Is it OK?"
"OK!"
"That's good... I didn't expect to forget my wallet, what a blunder!"
"Yes, it really gave me a fright!"
The two despicable men who tried to skip out on their bill exchanged a glance, then simultaneously looked away, cursing under their breath.
Pooh!
Shame!
