Chapter 186: Chapter 186: Kumquat Gym, Doubles!
Kumquat Island.
Located in the north of the Orange Islands, the island is not large. It is just a village, but there are high-rise buildings.
Because it is close to the Johto Region, it has become a famous luxury resort with a very developed economy.
The Northern Star of the Southern Cross is located here. She is a very mature and beautiful woman named Luana. If Brock sees her, he will definitely pursue her.
However, Luana is indeed worth pursuing. The most luxurious Trainer Hotel on Kumquat Island is her property.
She is definitely a wealthy woman. If you can win her heart, you can save ten years of detours and get a son for free.
Moreover, the Kumquat Gym is a hotel opened by Luana.
The hotel also holds a battle event.
Trainers who can win three consecutive games can stay in the hotel for free for one day, and meals are also provided.
Gary took Moltres and flew for an hour to reach Kumquat Island.
He didn't even need to ask for directions to find the hotel opened by Luana because Luana's hotel was built in the most conspicuous location.
[Ding! Posted task: Get Kumquat Gym Badge/Reward: High-level Rare Candy x5, Random Permanent Skill Learner, Random In-Battle Effect Item x1]
The Rare Candy rewarded by this task is also high-level.
It seems that the Pokémon used by Luana are all above level 49 and should be between levels 50 and 55.
Gary entered the hotel. "Welcome!!"
The ladies who greeted the guests bowed to welcome them, which made Gary a little uncomfortable.
He didn't like the service of being overly servile.
Gary looked around and asked, "Is this the Kumquat Gym?"
"Yes, this is both a gym and a hotel. Are you here to stay or to challenge the gym?" a receptionist asked.
"I'm here to challenge the gym. Is the gym leader Luana here?" Gary asked.
"Yes, please wait, I'll go and inform the president."
The receptionist took out a walkie-talkie and reported, "President, a Trainer is here to challenge you. Please reply if you receive it..."
The lady repeated it three times, and soon there was a response. It was a female voice, and it was unknown if it was Luana.
"Please wait, the president will be here soon."
Three minutes later, a pink-haired woman in a yellow work suit came out from the corner. The woman was Luana.
Luana immediately looked at Gary in the waiting area and walked over quickly.
"Hello, I'm Luana, the gym leader of Kumquat Gym," Luana introduced herself generously.
"Hello, my name is Gary, from Pallet Town. I'm here to challenge the Kumquat Island gym," Gary responded.
"I know, follow me."
Luana herself is a strong woman, her style of doing things is very quick, no extra nonsense, and she took Gary to the battle site on the roof of the hotel.
On the battlefield.
"Let me tell you about the battle method. The Kumquat Gym is a doubles match, but there is a special rule... That is, if one of the two Pokémon sent by both sides loses the ability to fight, it will be considered a loss," Luana said.
This rule is indeed very special. In a normal doubles match, if one of the two Pokémon loses, the other can continue to fight.
And there is a way to fight in doubles proposed by Luana, that is, focus on attacking a Pokémon in the battle, and you can win as long as you defeat it.
"I understand, we can start," Gary said.
"Okay, let's start," Luana threw out the Poké Ball without any extra words.
"Go ahead, Marowak! Alakazam!"
Great!!
[LV52 Marowak/Quasi-Elite]
[LV54 Alakazam/Elite]
Both of Luana's Pokémon are not weak, especially Alakazam, which has Elite potential and is comparable to Gary's Alakazam.
"Eevee, Blastoise, you guys are up," Gary threw out a Poké Ball.
"Blastoise!"
"Eevee!"
Blastoise came out of the Poké Ball, and Eevee ran into the field.
Blastoise and Eevee are one tall and one short, one bulky and one slender, forming a sharp contrast, with a great sense of contrast.
"Blastoise and Eevee are really a strange combination," Luana muttered.
The battle begins.
"Marowak, use Bone Club to attack Eevee, and Alakazam, use Psychic to assist Marowak's Bone Club," Luana ordered immediately.
Marowak threw the Bone Club in its hand at Eevee, and Alakazam used its telekinesis to speed up the Bone Club, making the Bone Club's flying speed faster.
It can be seen that Luana wants to work together to defeat Eevee. After all, Pokémon that have not evolved are weaker in everyone's eyes.
"Eevee, Dig!" Gary quickly issued an order. "Blastoise, use Rain Dance."
Bang!
Eevee immediately burrowed into the ground to avoid the rapidly attacking Bone Club, while Blastoise completely ignored the Bone Club and used Rain Dance.
The sky of the venue was immediately covered by a layer of dark clouds, and a drizzle fell.
Bang! With a sound, the flying Bone Club spun back again and hit Blastoise's shell, which was not painful at all.
The Bone Club that hit the target also flew back to Marowak's hand under the control of Alakazam's Confusion.
"Blastoise, use Hydro Pump on Marowak!" Gary's target was clear, that was Marowak.
"Blastoise!!"
Blastoise aimed its gun barrel at Marowak and sprayed two Hydro Pumps, but Alakazam did not give it a chance.
It stood in front of Marowak and used Light Screen to block the bubbles.
Bang!
Hydro Pump hit Light Screen, which exploded. The impact of Hydro Pump pushed Alakazam and Marowak back together.
"What powerful power!!" Luana was also secretly shocked. She did not expect Gary's Blastoise's Hydro Pump to be so powerful.
Before Luana could react, Eevee broke through and came just behind Marowak.
"Aqua Tail!" Gary shouted.
"Watch out behind you, use the Bone Club to block it," Luana shouted hurriedly.
Marowak was very experienced, and it didn't even turn its head. Then it swung its club backward, and bang! The water blade collided with the Bone Club.
"Marowak!!"
Marowak was shocked, and the Bone Club in its hand disappeared. No! It was knocked out.
"What!"
Eevee turned its body, and the water blade formed by the water power of its tail was swung out again, hitting Marowak's abdomen and sending it flying into the sky.
After the attack, Eevee found that it couldn't move. Alakazam on the side used Psychic to bind Eevee.
"Hydro Cannon!" However, Gary's order immediately made Luana panic.
Luana was shocked. Hydro Cannon is the strongest secret of the Water-type. If it hits Marowak, it will definitely defeat it.
"Alakazam, go and save Marowak, use Light Screen," Luana shouted quickly.
Because of the battle rules, both sides must lose a Pokémon, so Luana must save Marowak, otherwise, she will lose.
