Pokémon Padea Adventure: The Journey Continues

Genia looked at the Infernape that had activated the "Anger Point" feature, and its attack power had now reached its maximum. He then looked at his own Qilin, whose physical strength had been greatly reduced due to the previous "Whack-a-Mole" consumption and the opponent's guerrilla warfare attacks, and was no longer as strong as before.

The conditions of both sides were changing. Genia knew that Qi Qilin might end the battle after only one powerful punch from Infernape. As a teacher representative, he could not lose face for the teaching team in the academy.

After sighing, Genia seemed to have made the decision to make the final attack. After taking out his Taijingzhu, he said to Xiaozhi.

"Xiaozhi, you are really strong to force me and Qi Qilin to use the last resort! No wonder so many teachers are paying attention to your growth. As your homeroom teacher, I am not doing a good enough job... Let's end this battle by deciding the winner!"

Looking at the golden Taijing Pearl in Guinia's hand, Xiaozhi understood what he meant. He also took out the Taijing Pearl, which was shining with crystal light, and answered Guinia.

"Okay, Mr. Genia! Let's fight with ether crystallization to end this open class battle!"

At the same time, Xiaozhi and Jinia threw their own Taijingzhu at their own Pokémon.

Suddenly, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and the two Pokémon on the ground began to be wrapped by crystals emerging from the ground. When the excess crystals faded away, the flesh and blood of the two Pokémon would turn into crystallized state.

Xiaozhi first looked at the crystal floating above his Infernape's head. After all, this was Infernape's first crystallized battle after coming to the Padya region. The shape of the crystal was a huge red "fist", symbolizing that Infernape's crystallized state was a fighting type.

Xiaozhi said as a matter of course.

"Infernape's crystallization attribute is indeed a fighting attribute..."

Infernape, who was undergoing Taicrystallization for the first time, was a little panicked at first after seeing his entire body turning into crystallized material and emitting sparkling light. However, after a surge of power surged through his body, Infernape immediately began to like this powerful feeling.

Xiaozhi also said jokingly.

"Infernape, is this your first time using Crystallization? Feel the exotic atmosphere from the Padia region!"

As he spoke, Xiaozhi looked at the top of the head of the Qilin opposite him. It was a pair of bright "big eyes" with long eyelashes and a light purple color. This was the first time that Xiaozhi faced a crystal of this attribute, and he muttered in confusion.

"The dark purple 'heart' crystal is of fairy attribute, the gray purple 'ghost' crystal is of ghost attribute..., the crystal attributes I haven't encountered yet include ice attribute, poison attribute, and super power attribute, so what exactly is it...?"

Nemo in the audience reminded Xiaozhi loudly.

"Xiaozhi, that's the Psychic attribute of Taicrystallization. Although it is a bit disadvantageous for your Infernape who has the Fighting attribute of Taicrystallization, I believe you can do it. Come on!"

The two Pokémon that had crystallized did not have too many rounds of fighting. Just as the two trainers said at the beginning, the battle was decided in one go and ended with just one move.

"Qi Qilin, use "Mental Power"!"

"Infernape, use "Fist of Fury"!"

Qi Qilin sent a powerful telekinesis to attack the opponent. With the help of its Tai Crystallization ability, the deep purple light it emitted became even brighter. The colorful "Mental Power" attack went straight in the direction of Infernape.

Infernape is fearless. With the dual blessing of its characteristic "Anger Point" and the ability of Tai Crystalization, Infernape swings its fist, converting the damage it had previously suffered into anger, and integrating it into this powerful blow.

Infernape's punch hit the oncoming powerful "mental power". After the opponent's attack came into contact with Infernape's fist, the mental power was split into faint lights that splashed around.

“Hot!”

Infernape's fist met the heat, and Satoshi and Pikachu behind him also spoke encouragingly.

"Go ahead, Infernape! Bring Earth Dragon with you and win the game..."

"Pika pika!"

Genia on the opposite side also spoke encouragingly to Qi Qilin.

"We won't give up. Go ahead! Qi Qilin..."

"Kiki!"

The Pokémon on both sides, carrying the hopes of their trainers as representatives of students or teachers, tried their best to win.

Finally, Qi Qilin gradually felt exhausted, and the power of his "Mental Power" became weaker and weaker, while the Infernape, who was bursting with anger, became more and more courageous, and many gray-purple, terrifying auras emerged from his body.

Infernape gathered his energy into his fist, and used his "Fist of Fury" to shoot out an energy bullet, which deflected Qilin's last bit of "spiritual power" to the left and right, and then rushed straight into Qilin's body...

“Qiqi…”

As Qi Qilin's body was devoured by Infernape's "Fist of Fury", the energy bomb also exploded on Qi Qilin's body, raising a cloud of smoke. After the loud bang of the explosion, the battlefield returned to calm.

Everyone held their breath, waiting for the final outcome of the battle. After the smoke filled the venue dissipated, the strange Qilin was revealed lying on the ground. It had lost its crystallization state, its eyes looked like "mosquito coils", and it had lost its ability to fight.

Serge immediately announced the result of the battle.

"Kiyori lost his ability to fight, and Infernape won, so this is the open doubles match for the mid-term open class, and the winner is the student representative, Satoshi!"

When the battle ended, the audience burst into warm applause. In addition to congratulating Xiaozhi on his victory, people also encouraged Genia for providing a good battle.

After the battle, Infernape was released from its crystallized state. The feeling of added power made it unable to stop, but after everything was over, its body was exhausted. It immediately stopped swinging its fists and collapsed to the ground. The sky also turned from cloudy to sunny at this time.

Xiaozhi and Pikachu immediately moved closer to Infernape who was sitting on the ground, and praised him.

"Infernape, well done! I'm so lucky to have you join us. The day when we fight Padiya is getting closer and closer!"

As he spoke, Xiaoqing, Piper, Nimoy, Nishida, and Namor in the audience also came closer and offered their blessings.

"Congratulations, Ash, Infernape! You've won this open battle!"

"Thank you for your hard work, Xiaozhi..., Mr. Genia's strength is beyond my imagination. It's a pity that you can win!"

Xiaozhi replied modestly.

"Thank you, Xiaoqing, Papa. Without you, I wouldn't be here."

Nimo said as if it was a matter of course.

"Of course Xiaozhi has to win. After all, you still have to meet me in the finals of the Padia League!"

Tired Xiaozhi didn't reply, but responded with a smile.

Nishida, who was watching the battle, kept fiddling with the camera in his hand. He also took a lot of good photos when Xiaozhi was fighting.

"Is this the strength of the students and teachers in the academy? The beautiful learning environment and excellent teaching qualifications make me want to enroll in the academy too!"

Namor stroked his chin and said thoughtfully.

"Is this a battle of equal strength? It seems that in the future work of the "Pokémon Fan Club", in addition to studying Pokémon, we also need to include the strength of Pokémon and trainers in the scope of research!"

This open class battle not only helped the student representative Xiaozhi grow, but also gave the students who were watching the battle different insights.

Genia came to Qi Qilin who had lost his ability to fight, stroked his opponent, and spoke softly.

"Thank you for your hard work, Qi Qilin... The future belongs to the young students, so just take a good rest."

As he spoke, a red light flashed, and the huge creature was put back into the Poké Ball.

When Xiaozhi and his group on the opposite side came to Genia, Genia congratulated them.

"Congratulations, Xiaozhi. I admit defeat..."

Xiaozhi replied after patting the head of Infernape beside him.

"No, this is all thanks to Infernape. Thank you, Teacher Genia, for giving me the opportunity to fight you..."

As he spoke, the other teachers gathered behind Genia and congratulated Xiaozhi. Among the teachers who appeared today, Clavel was missing.

All that could be heard was Clavel shouting through a loud speaker above the audience seats on the wall not far away.

"Okay, teachers and students, and all the non-school personnel, thank you for coming to attend this mid-term meeting of the college. Before that, I would also like to thank Xiaozhi and Teacher Genia for the open class battle before the meeting. The result ended with Xiaozhi's victory. Congratulations to Xiaozhi..."

Once again, there was warm applause for Ash and his Pokémon in the playground. Ash scratched his head embarrassedly, but Infernape was used to the cheers from the audience.

After the applause ended, Clavel moved aside to make room for himself, and a familiar figure appeared and strode forward.

"Next, let Chairman Ye Ci explain the contents of the next mid-term meeting! Please..."

Seeing Yeci's figure, Xiaozhi and his friends lowered their heads unconsciously with a guilty conscience. After all, they had almost gotten into big trouble in "Area Zero" before.

Looking at Ye Ci above, it seemed as if the incident had not happened, and there was no follow-up trouble for Xiao Zhi and the others. He continued to announce the college's usual mid-term affairs in a businesslike manner, all of which were to encourage students to study actively, respond to the college's off-campus expansion requirements, and strive to graduate smoothly at the end of the semester.

After Ye Ci finished speaking the above, he stopped talking briefly. Just when people thought that Ye Ci had finished speaking about the meeting, Ye Ci continued to announce.

"Do you remember the important news released by the Padiya Alliance?"

"It's said that they are selecting outstanding graduates from the academy. The selection criteria are based on the three major competitions held in the Padiya area, the "Alliance Competition", the "Cooking Competition", and the "Photography Competition". They will enter the bottom of the "Zero Zone" of the Padiya Pit and conduct exploration work on the "Zero Zone Research Institute"!"

Thanks to Ye Ci's reminder, people still remember the video content of the previous major event.

Yeci continued.

"Considering why the Padiya Alliance suddenly made this decision, I, as the alliance representative, must explain to everyone and conduct a review..."

Except for Xiaozhi and the others who knew the truth, everyone looked at each other, waiting for what Yeci would say.

"I want to apologize for the fact that the Padiya Alliance deliberately concealed the matter of Olin and Dr. Fortu over the past ten years. The Alliance has no right to make decisions for the victims, and their friends and families also have the right to know. Regarding this, it is thanks to a group of brave teenagers, meteorological researcher Kentini, and the gatekeeper of the "Zero Zone Gate" Inhali, that they dared to act and take responsibility, which awakened the conscience of the Alliance members. The truth will eventually come to light."

Everyone was shocked and whispered to each other, only Papa had a bitter look on his face. Xiaozhi and Xiaoqing on his left and right patted him on the shoulders, making Papa feel the warmth of his companions. Only then did he have the courage to continue listening to what Yeci said.

"…Therefore, we have also decided to release Kentini and Inhali who were previously detained. They still have some energy left, so let them join the preparations for exploring Area Zero!"

Upon hearing the good news that Kentini and Inhalli were released, Xiaozhi and the others finally smiled.

"Since most of the alliance's manpower has been invested in the preliminary preparations for the re-exploration of "Zone Zero", recovering the escaped "Paradox Pokémon", managing the internal work of the alliance, and organizing the three major competitions. The number of personnel is not enough to allocate more manpower for the re-exploration of "Zone Zero", so Principal Clavel and I have decided to select outstanding graduates from the academy as the main personnel for the subsequent exploration!"

After hearing Ye Ci's supplement about the previous important news, people finally understood the underlying reason behind the decision. The students burst into surprised voices one after another, and were eager to find out more about the mysterious area that was forbidden to enter.

Among them, Nimo was the most excited.

"Great! Then I must achieve good results in the league battle, so that I can go to the "Zero Area" and see what the "Paradox Pokémon" is like!"

Regarding the people outside the school, Nishida and Namo said.

"The meeting turned out to be an apology announcement from the alliance. No wonder outsiders were allowed to be admitted as witnesses. So this is what happened!"

"The Padilla Alliance is truly a responsible alliance, paying for the secret that has been covered up for ten years."

At the end of the meeting, Ye Ci said something again in a mysterious tone.

"Regarding Orin and Dr. Fortu who may be trapped at some point in the past or future, I hope that in the end it will be 'you' who will be qualified to go to the "Zero Area Research Institute"..."

The meeting was over. This mid-term meeting seemed like an ordinary academic disclosure, but in reality it was an apology meeting of the alliance. As for Ye Ci's last puzzling words and the "you" she was referring to, everyone was confused.

Only Xiaozhi and his group heard the hidden meaning behind Yeci's words. Her instructions were directed to Xiaozhi and his group, and the last sentence was also spoken to Xiaozhi and his group.
