This punch contained all of Monferno's strength and Move - Rage, unleashed in an instant.
Both Coconut Egg Tree and everyone outside the arena were shaken by Monferno's determination.
Erika stared intently at this decisive battle, seeing Monferno's transformed power and fighting spirit, which made her look at Monferno in a new light.
Xiao Zhi watched with anticipation, wondering if Monferno could land this punch and achieve victory with it.
Monferno's fist was like a ball of ghostly flames, carrying endless power and Move - Rage, striking Coconut Egg Tree's body fiercely.
A dull roar sounded, and Coconut Egg Tree was instantly sent flying by Monferno's punch!
This blow was beyond everyone's expectations.
Coconut Egg Tree's miserable appearance moved everyone; who knew it would encounter such a powerful move.
The power of that move just now was incomparable even to the ultimate move of the Grass-type starter Pokémon—Frenzy Plant.
The referee looked at Coconut Egg Tree's state, sighed softly, and then announced the result: "Coconut Egg Tree is unable to battle, the winner is challenger Xiao Zhi."
Erika took out a poké ball and recalled Coconut Egg Tree.
She walked up to Xiao Zhi, a badge now in her hand.
Erika smiled slightly and handed the badge to Xiao Zhi: "This is the Rainbow Badge, please take good care of it."
Xiao Zhi nodded and took the Rainbow Badge: "Understood!"
Just as Xiao Zhi was about to leave, Erika called out to him, saying, "Oh, right, if you're planning to rest in Yu Hong City for a while, I suggest you go to Yuhong Building."
"Huh? What's wrong?" Xiao Zhi was a little confused, not understanding why Erika suddenly said that.
Erika didn't explain herself, acting as a riddler, which could also be considered 'revenge' for Coconut Egg Tree and her Pokémon: "You'll know when you get there."
Before leaving, Erika glanced at Xiao Gang, seemingly deep in thought.
...
...
Yuhong Building was very close to Yuhong Dojo, and it only took the three of them a few minutes to walk there.
Xiao Xia looked at the tall building in front of her, feeling a little emotional: "Wow, is this Yuhong Building? It's so tall, it can rival Saffron City."
Xiao Gang scratched his head, puzzled: "Yeah... But why did Miss Erika ask us to come here?"
"Who cares, let's just go in." Xiao Zhi said indifferently, walking through the door and seeing a long corridor leading directly to the second floor.
The corridor was on the far right, with two small rooms on the left.
Xiao Zhi walked into the first room and saw an old grandma brewing tea, with some Pokémon also in the room, which seemed to be trained by this company.
The old grandma smiled, welcoming the arrival of Xiao Zhi and his two companions: "Young people are here? Would you like to taste some tea? If you want to rest, come over.
I don't have anything good here, but if you want to drink tea, feel free to come."
The three looked at each other, then sat on the sofa, quietly watching the old grandma pour tea for them.
Xiao Gang took the teapot from the old grandma's hand and personally poured a cup of tea for everyone: "Let me do it."
Xiao Zhi tasted the tea and his evaluation was: 'So bitter...'
'Li Dage, what do you think Miss Erika called me here for?'
This question made Li Qingfeng fall into contemplation.
If he remembered correctly, there was an abandoned Eevee on the top floor here.
This Eevee was an ordinary Eevee, not one that could evolve freely.
Could it be that Erika wanted Xiao Zhi to catch this Eevee?
No, at that time Erika also glanced at Xiao Gang, could it be... (Key point)
'Hmm, I don't know.'
It's better not to tell Xiao Zhi about this for now.
Xiao Gang was already sitting upright, holding a teacup in his hand, taking a small sip, and asking, "old grandma, has anything happened to this company?"
The old grandma lowered her head, thinking about recent events:
"This company? Let me think... It seems nothing has happened.
Only one thing has happened recently, if I remember correctly, someone left a poké ball when they resigned, and a Pokémon went inside, causing it to be a Pokémon with a ball but no owner now."
"But thankfully, some employees occasionally let it out to feed it, but for some reason, no one is willing to catch it."
Xiao Zhi, Xiao Gang, Xiao Xia, and Li Qingfeng all frowned simultaneously.
This person was too careless, how could they leave a poké ball there, now causing a Pokémon to be all alone.
"How many days has it been? If it's been a long time, that Pokémon's life could be in danger." Xiao Gang's tone was a little anxious; like Xiao Zhi, he didn't like to see Pokémon get hurt.
Moreover, this was due to human negligence, causing a Pokémon to almost get into trouble.
"I forgot how long it's been, but it's on the top floor."
"Alright, thank you.
Xiao Zhi, Xiao Xia, come with me quickly."
After thanking her, Xiao Gang took the lead, looking at the stairs in front of him.
He rushed up without looking back.
Xiao Zhi and Xiao Xia followed behind Xiao Gang, their expressions also becoming serious.
Li Qingfeng: ...
If he remembered correctly, one had to enter that stairwell from the back door.
However, this was not in the game now; one could use Pokémon to cross the railing and go to the other side.
First floor... second floor... all the way to the top floor, Xiao Gang only took a few minutes.
Looking at the railing that divided the top floor into two halves, Xiao Gang released Onix and successfully reached the other side by leveraging its length advantage.
"Gengar, I'm counting on you."
Xiao Zhi called out Gengar, asking it to take him and Xiao Xia to the other side.
Gengar leaped out of Xiao Zhi's shadow, and after Xiao Zhi hugged it, it slowly took off.
With Gengar's help, the two also landed simultaneously on the adjacent rooftop.
There was only one small room on this side, with some words written on the wall.
Xiao Xia took a look and found that it said:
[I can do anything!]
I can do anything!
Hmm, I suggest changing "can" to "cannot."
Xiao Gang stepped into the room, only to find it empty, with only a lonely poké ball quietly sitting on the table, already covered with a thin layer of dust.
"What is this place?"
Xiao Zhi walked in, finding that it looked like no one had been here for a long time.
Xiao Xia followed closely, and she couldn't help but take a step back as she looked at the scene in front of her.
But she still didn't leave; she found a relatively clean spot to stand.
Xiao Gang picked up the poké ball and released the Pokémon inside.
A Pokémon that looked like a fox, with most of its fur being brown, was trembling on the ground.
"Eevee, quick, drink some water."
------
Hungry, Eevee Eevee.
