Chapter 315 Xiao Zhuo comes to challenge the Dragon King in the Rain!
"Finally, I would like to remind all the guests that in order to capture a Pokémon in the Dragon Cave, it is necessary to make the Pokémon follow you voluntarily, be impressed by your personality, admire your great power, or be tempted by your food. However, you are not allowed to forcibly take away a Pokémon that shows reluctance."

"That's absolutely true."

As the Dragon Elder announced the real highlight of the Dragon Feast, the Dragon Cave Trial, an uproar suddenly arose at the scene.

The trainers who are chosen and invited by the Dragon Clan are not the kind of people who would ignore the wishes of Pokémon and forcibly capture them out of greed.

Dorasena's narrowed eyes slightly opened: "Oh my, oh my, it's worthy of being a famous family with a long history in the Johto area, it's really generous."

Xia Ka nodded slightly, his eyes still wandering around Adu: "There are at least a hundred dragon attribute trainers invited here, not to mention those juniors who are not in the same venue with us."

Zhu Lan put one hand in her pocket, stroking the lipstick in her pocket, thinking: "Even if the so-called trial will screen out some people whose strength or character are not up to standard, there may still be a large number of people left."

"Being able to provide so many Dragon-type and Sub-type Pokémon at once, that Dragon Cave is worthy of being on par with Meteor Falls, Dragon Town, and other places."

Luo Mu looked at Zhu Lan and the others curiously and asked, "Do you plan to participate in the Dragon Cave Trial?"

Zhulan stroked her chin and was the first to express her thoughts: "Not for now. The party tonight is over, and I plan to take a plane back to the Sinnoh region tomorrow morning."

"After all, I have no plans to capture and train new combat forces at the moment, and my Garchomp cannot learn the Super Speed ​​move."

Xia Ka didn't say anything, but just shook his head to express his meaning.

He also had no intention of participating in the Dragon Cave Trial.

Doracena said in a light and leisurely tone, "Hey, neither of you plan to go? But I am going. Maybe there will be children who are very compatible with me. After all, the more children a family has, the better."

Alice's eyes were shining, as if she was looking forward to entering the dragon's lair and meeting new partners. Although she liked Diglett and Fang very much, she also wanted to like more dragon-attribute Pokémon. After all, they were all her partners and the wings that allowed her to fly!
But Shaka's silent refusal silenced Alice, who was about to speak. If Teacher Shaka did not intend to participate in the Dragon Cave Trial, they would have to take a plane back to Shuanglong City in the Unova region tomorrow.

After all, although she nominally came to participate in the event on behalf of Dragon Town, if Shaka, as the guardian, wanted to leave, Alice herself would not be able to stay and participate in the Dragon Cave Trial.

She had no money to buy Poké Balls, and the only dragon-attribute Pokémon provided by Dragon Town was Fang, which was still growing. She had captured Diglett with a Poké Ball borrowed from Granny.

If you want to add more partners, you can only participate in the Dragon Cave Trial.

Perhaps after being a teacher for so long, he had unconsciously contracted some occupational diseases. Luo Mu had been paying attention to Alice's appearance and did not miss her fleeting look of loss.

With a slight smile on his lips, Luo Mu asked Alice, who was about the same age as Nimo and the others but was still learning knowledge in school and was still very young, "Alice, do you want to participate in the Dragon Cave Trial and make friends with new partners?"

Alice was stunned, and shouted with longing on her face: "I want to!"

"It seems like that, Mr. Xia Ka, why don't we wait for Alice to finish the Dragon Cave Trial before returning to the other regions?"

Luo Mu looked at Xia Ka and made a suggestion.

Zhulan also looked at Xia Ka with Doracena, wanting to know his answer.

Zhulan even thought that if Xia Ka still disagreed, she would simply skip work for another day, leave the work to Wusong and A Liu, accompany Alice to complete the Dragon Cave Trial, and then send her back to the public areas.

Zhulan's feeling towards Alice is one of admiration for her junior. She thinks that this child may become a trainer comparable to herself in the future, which makes Zhulan have a great liking for Alice.

It just so happens that the villas that my family bought in the Unova region have not been lived in for a long time. When the time comes, I can notify the housekeeper and take the opportunity to spend a vacation there and explore the mysteries of the ancient legends of the Unova region.

Feeling pressured by the gazes of several people, Xia Ka didn't understand why things turned out like this. He had clearly just said that he didn't plan to enter the Dragon Cave Trial, and he didn't mean to stop Alice.

Why did I become the target of public criticism for no reason?
For the first time, Xia Ka reflected on the importance of the fact that even his grandson Du Ruo had said that he was very serious in everything he did and that people often misunderstood his ideas.

In the end, Xia Ka had no choice but to take the blame and "take a step back" and agree to Alice's request to stay for another day.

The Dragon Elder came just to announce the Dragon Cave Trial. Luo Mu and others clearly discovered that since the Dragon Elder announced the Dragon Cave Trial, the atmosphere of many people present had become noticeably more excited.

Even Luo Mu had to admit that the Dragon Taming Clan's way of doing things was simply textbook-level. Not only did they make friends with dragon-attribute trainers and families from all over the world, but the families that benefited from the Dragon Taming Clan would definitely establish healthy and friendly relationships with the Dragon Taming Clan, and could even share technology, resources, and so on with each other.

After saying goodbye to Zhulan and Xia Ka for the time being, Luo Mu and Kuai Long, who were hungry again after a battle, joined the banquet again. The dishes had been replaced with steaming new ones, which made him sigh at his good luck.

Because the atmosphere was so heated, many dragon-attribute trainers were already fighting each other. Luo Mu felt that it was quite appetizing to stand at a distance with a plate in his hand and watch the battle between their dragon-attribute Pokémon.

Dragonite, who never stopped talking, thought the same thing. Although it was cool to fight in person, it was also fun to eat while watching other Pokémon fight.

Luo Mu also secretly prepared some food for Sandshrew. After all, it had just expended a lot of energy and deserved some replenishment.

On the other side, after sending the Dragon Elder back to the ancestral home, A'du, who had dealt with most of the guests, returned to the banquet.

He looked around and quickly spotted Luo Mu and Dragonite.

After yesterday's incident at the Silver Mountains, A'du thought about it over and over all night, with the image of Luo Mu's Dragonite filling his mind.

Don't get me wrong, he wasn't greedy for Luo Mu's Dragonite. It was simply because of the special aura that Dragonite gave off when it confronted his Dragon Legion yesterday that made A'du want to compete with Luo Mu's Dragonite.

Even A'du's own Dragonite is the same.

Adu, who had been unable to contain himself for a long time, planned to invite Luo Mu to fight with him the moment he spotted Luo Mu and Dragonite. Tonight's Dragon Feast already had the elements of both a banquet and a Pokémon battle, so this request should be reasonable and no one would refuse.

Just as A'du was striding towards Luo Mu under the dissatisfied look of his cousin Xiao Zhuang, a wall formed by muscles blocked A'du.

Xia Ka looked down at Adu from a height of over 1.9 meters, his voice serious and sincere: "Adu Heavenly King, can you please wrestle with me? It's not right, it's not polite."

"Will you have a Pokémon battle with me between Dragon-type Pokémon?"

A'Du was stunned, remembering what the Dragon Elder had told him before he left.

[Adu, you are the signboard of our dragon family. If someone challenges you, you must accept the challenge and don't be afraid of fighting, even if the opponent is the Sinnoh champion Bamboo Ran, the Hoenn Four Heavenly Kings Genji, the Kalos Four Heavenly Kings Dorasena or the Padia champion trainer Luo Mu, show the strength of our dragon family to the outside world]

The corners of A'Du's mouth twitched. He caught a glimpse of the many gazes from the surroundings and forced a smile. He felt his heart was bleeding: "Of course you can, Master Xia Ka."

But at this moment, Xiao Zhuang made a face at his stupid cousin and ran towards Luo Mu with light steps.

This made Adu so angry that his face almost turned red, but he had to act as if he was at ease. He and Shaka came to a battle field surrounded by a group of trainers and released their own Pokémon.

On Shaka's side is his usual Pokémon, Double Axe War Dragon.

Adu is naturally his iconic Pokémon Dragonite.

Although Adu really wanted to kill the Double Axe War Dragon in a few seconds and then go to fight Luo Mu, Shaka, as the owner of the eighth gym in the Unova region, was extremely powerful. Not to mention that he had spent more time as a trainer than his own age.

This battle is definitely not going to be easy to resolve.

On the other hand, Xiao Zhuo, who was known as the number one person under the Four Heavenly Kings in the Johto region and dared to challenge even the Four Heavenly Kings, and whose only known defeat was against the champion Adu, went straight to Luo Mu.

As soon as he arrived, Xiao Zhuang directly expressed his attitude.

"Luo Mu, have a Pokémon battle with me!"

Because Luo Mu told Xiao Zhuo that he didn't need to use honorifics to talk to him all the time, Xiao Zhuo just let go and returned to his usual cool demeanor. Luo Mu paused while chewing the steak, chewed it slowly and swallowed it, then calmly took a napkin from the side to wipe the sauce from the corner of his mouth, and said lightly, "Okay."

"what?"

Xiao Zhuang had already planned to fight a protracted war, and even considered arousing the fighting spirit of Dragonite, who was still showing off the cake crazily without raising his head beside Luo Mu, in order to achieve his own goal.

Luo Mu's light-hearted words "Okay" caught Xiao Zhuang off guard.

Putting down the empty plate in his hand, Luo Mu looked at Xiao Zhuo and said with a smile: "However, this time I am not sending out Sandslash, but Dragonite. Is that okay?"

Xiao Zhuang was stunned, his face full of fighting spirit: "I couldn't ask for more!"

Because the battle atmosphere among the trainers on site was too high, Luo Mu and Xiao Zhuang waited for a while before they finally found a vacant battle venue.

As soon as the two stood on the battle field, many trainers around them noticed that the ones fighting were Xiao Zhuo, the gym leader of Yanmo City, and Luo Mu, the champion trainer of Padia.

This is interesting. In the battle between Luo Mu and Alice just now, Luo Mu didn't use his full strength at all, and his Pokémon was just Sandslash, which was not very powerful.

At this time, the Dragonite beside him who defeated the God of Fire was obviously going to fight. Some people who were originally attracted by the fierce battle between Adu and Shaka surrounded him after thinking for a while.

This also includes Alice, who was watching her teacher fight with Adu. Compared to Shaka, who had watched the battle countless times and often forced her to watch his gym battles, Alice was more curious about the power of Dragonite, which only allowed her to see the "Storm".

As Alice moved, she also led Zhulan and Doracena to move to the vicinity of the battle site between Luo Mu and Xiao Zhuang.

Looking at the two people in confrontation, Zhulan and Doracena became interested.

As A'du's cousin, even they know how strong Xiao Zhuang is. It seems that this time they can witness Luo Mu's true strength with their own eyes.

The referee this time is someone arranged by the Dragon Taming Clan.

The referee picked up the professional red and green flags, came to both sides of the battle field, and said in a deep voice: "Next will be the Pokémon battle between Miss Yulongzhu of the Yulong Clan, the organizer of this Dragon Feast, and Mr. Luo Mu, the champion trainer from the Padia region."

"The battle is a one-on-one singles battle. The one who first makes the opponent's Pokémon lose its combat ability wins."

When Luo Mu heard the referee call out Xiao Zhuang's full name, he was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Xiao Zhuang and A'du's surname was really Yulong.

Then A'du and Xiao'zhuo are the names we usually call each other. If we add the word "Yulong" in front, then Yulongdu and Yulongzhuo will be their full names, right?

Several thoughts flashed through his mind quickly. After confirming with the referee that he understood the rules, Luo Mu shouted, "Go ahead, Dragonite."

Dragonite, which had been following Luo Mu, flapped its wings and flew into the air in the venue.

Xiao Zhuang took out a bait ball, his smile faded and a serious expression appeared on his face.

"I'm counting on you, Thorn Dragon King!"

The red light of the hunting ball shone on the field, and the figure of the Thorn Dragon King emerged.

The appearance of the Thorn Dragon King is similar to that of a seahorse, with dragon horns, and the blue scales on its body shine brightly under the light. Although the battlefield is on land, the Thorn Dragon King can manipulate the water energy at will to form a layer of water vapor to wrap himself, as if he is swimming in the water, floating on the battlefield.

The moment Dragonite appeared on the scene, Dragonite's originally silly and cute expression changed immediately.

Staring at the Thorn Dragon King, Dragonite began to release his aura and pressure, as if he had some grudge against the Thorn Dragon King.

The Thorn Dragon King also stared at Dragonite with his red dragon eyes, and the water vapor around him began to become restless, as if it would turn into a huge whirlpool and swallow Dragonite in the next moment.

Alice was confused. Although this was a battle, wasn't the speed of the confrontation too fast?

Zhulan touched Alice's head and said gently, "Because Dragonite and Dragonite are like sworn enemies in the wild."

Dorasena added: "If I compare it to that, it's like the relationship between Snake and Slither in the Hoenn region, but it's not as serious as that. Dragonite and Dragonite in the same team can still get along well."

"That's it."

Alice nodded, showing a cute expression of having learned something.

Just as Ran and Dorasena were explaining things to Alice, the conflict between Dragonite and Thor reached its most intense moment. If they were not still waiting for the trainer's instructions, the two Pokémon would have started fighting in the next second.

"Tide Vortex!"

Xiao Zhuang took the lead in attacking. The Thorn Dragon King, who could no longer wait, let out a roar and rolled up an endless stream of water energy, forming a huge whirlpool that smashed towards the Dragonite in mid-air.

"Cut it, Air Blade!"

"Boooo!"

Following Luo Mu's command, Dragonite looked at the huge vortex that was coming towards him with disdain, and waved its dragon wings quickly. Air blades as big as crescent moons fell on the vortex like raindrops, cutting it into water splashes all over the sky in the blink of an eye.

The whirlpool was directly broken, which made Xiao Zhuang frown slightly. If he was at the riverside or the seaside at this time, Dragonite would definitely not be able to easily solve the whirlpool raised by the Thorn Dragon King.

"Please rain!"

King Thor raised his head and roared. In an instant, the sky was covered with dark clouds. The trainers who were watching the battle around took out umbrellas from their arms and started to open them in tacit understanding.

How could you not be prepared to this extent when watching a Pokémon battle where even the weather can change?
Zhulan was also holding a black umbrella at this time, and she pulled Alice, who was unprepared and extremely confused, under her umbrella.

In addition to an umbrella, she also carried sunglasses, windproof goggles, sand-proof goggles and a folding fan. The main feature of this fan is that she can handle wind, rain, drought and sandstorms with ease.

The moment most people opened their umbrellas, bean-sized raindrops poured down like waterfalls, turning the entire battlefield into a world in the rain in the blink of an eye.

The commotion here even affected the battlefield on the other side. A'du, who was commanding Dragonite and Double Axe War Dragon in close combat, glanced at his uniform that had been soaked, revealing an expression that his patience was about to reach its limit.

"Small pile."

For some reason, neither Luo Mu nor Dragonite intended to stop the Thorn Dragon from using Pray for Rain, and the result of this action was that the Thorn Dragon now had a body emitting a bright blue light, and his movements were so fast that he turned into an afterimage under the rain!

Zhulan just subconsciously wanted to explain for Alice, but Alice answered first: "I know this, the characteristic of the Thorn Dragon King is that it can swim freely. In the rain, its speed doubles, right!"

Dorasena was a little surprised and smiled, "Little Alice really knows a lot about Dragon-type Pokémon."

In the rain, the speed of the Thorn Dragon King's movement was so fast that it was difficult for ordinary people to see clearly. Xiao Zhuo didn't know why Luo Mu didn't stop him or use other weather moves to compete with the Thorn Dragon King for the weather.

She only knew that the next attack that the Thorn Dragon King was about to launch would be very cool!
"Stinging Dragon King, water cannon!"

Under Xiao Zhuang's command, azure light quickly gathered in the long-tube mouthparts of the Thorn Dragon King.

next moment.

The Thorn Dragon King aimed at Dragonite's soft belly, which seemed to have not yet reacted, and sprayed the water cannon compressed to the extreme at Dragonite like a raging wave!
