Xiaozhi Reborn: Restarting the Journey

The old man was very happy.

On the way to Inyu City, Xiaozhi and his group passed a place called Yokodo Town.

Xiaosheng said, "This is Yokodo Town!"

Xiaogang read the sentence describing Yokodo Town in the travel guide: "The book says that this place is called the crossroads of the wind."

A breeze blew, and Xiaoyao opened his arms comfortably: "Really, the wind is so comfortable!"

A blue bird flew over Xiaozhi and his group's heads, holding a ring in its beak. Xiaosheng said: "Wow, it's a bluebird!"

Xiaoyao said: "Even if I have one, I still feel it's so cute no matter how many times I see it!"

Suddenly a strong wind blew and blew the bluebird away, and the valley was full of sharp spikes formed by rocks.

"Big King Swallow, go save the bluebird!"

Big King Swallow rescued the bluebird in time.

"Bluebird! Bluebird, are you okay?" A boy ran over anxiously.

The bluebird jumped into the boy's arms, and the boy breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Great! Thank you for saving my bluebird, my name is Kate."

The group introduced each other.

Kate said, "Are you all traveling trainers, Xiaozhi?"

Xiaozhi nodded and said, "Yes!"

Kate said, "By the way, our Yokodo Town is holding a Magic Ring Competition today. Xiaozhi, are you interested in participating?"

Xiaoyao said, "What is Magic Ring?"

Kate explained, "It is a competition in which trainers and their flying Pokémon form a team, ride a hot air balloon, and then throw the ring that the Bluebird brought into the target. The competition is about speed."

Xiaoyao said excitedly, "It sounds interesting! I want to participate with Hunting Swallowtail."

The time for the competition soon arrived, and at the beginning, the huge screen began to scroll the photos of trainers and Pokémon.

Xiaosheng asked, "That can't be..."

Kate said, "Yes, it's the trainers and Pokémon who have won the championship in the past. If they win the competition, they can get the title of honorary citizens of the town, and their photos will be hung on the big screen."

Xiaoyao was even more excited and said, "So cool, I want to be an honorary citizen too."

Xiaosheng complained, "That's impossible, sister, this is your first time playing Magic Rings!"

Kate said, "Actually, this is my first time participating in the competition today! I also captured Bluebird not long ago, and our cooperation is not perfect, but I must win. This is my dream!"

Xiaozhi smiled and said, "Xiaoyao and I will not give up easily."

The host said, "The Pokémon Magic Rings Yokoto Tournament with a long history and tradition that everyone has been looking forward to for a long time has begun! From the first round of the game to the semi-finals, each game will have four teams competing. The first ones to fight in Area A are these!"

The third group on the screen is Kate and Bluebird. Xiaozhi is in Area B, facing last year's champion.

Kojiro suddenly said, "That's great. We can play against the champion in the first round! So enviable!"

Xiaoyao glanced and said, "What do you want to do this time, Kojiro?"

Kojiro said with his head held high, "I'm not a member of Team Rocket today."

Xiaoyao said helplessly, "What are you today?"

Kojiro said confidently, "Noble, upright, beautiful, independent artist of the magical ring sky, Kojiro!"

Xiaozhi said, "I won't beat you up if you don't make trouble. Xiaoyao, don't worry about him!"

The list of the last zone was announced, and Xiaoyao and Kojiro were in the same group.

Kojiro stretched out his hand and said, "Xiaoyao, in order to live up to the clear blue sky, let's perform a beautiful battle!"

Xiaoyao ignored Kojiro and said, "I must win!"

Kojiro muttered to himself.

The first round of the battle began, and the bluebird, long-winged gull, big-mouthed gull and Yangyangma began to snatch the magical ring. The four flew to the small hot air balloon with the ring at the same time.

The big-billed gulls were the first to use the water gun to try to stop the others. Kate's bluebird rushed out of the water gun and continued to fly towards the ring. Seeing this, Yangyangma used the high-speed star, and the bluebird quickly rose after avoiding it.

Xiaoyao wondered, "Why do you want to rise? Isn't it getting farther and farther away from the ring?"

A strong gust of wind explained Xiaoyao's doubts. This gust of wind swept the other three in. Kate's bluebird took the opportunity to bite the ring in its beak and rushed to the finish line. Kate and the bluebird won the first round.

The second game started!

Xiaozhi's King Swallow, last year's champion Volt's Lightning Bug, Zubat and Iron Ninja competed for the winner of the second game.

"They are all minions! Lightning Bug defeated them all with Thunder!"

"King Swallow, move at high speed to avoid it."

Lightning Bug's Thunder hit Iron Ninja and Zubat. The flying Pokémon were hit by the electric trick and fell from the air.

"King Swallow, Brave Bird Attack to accelerate."

Just when Lightning Bug used Thunder, King Swallow had already grabbed the ring and rushed across the finish line with Brave Bird Attack. When Lightning Bug reacted, the game was over!

Xiaozhi won the second game.

......

The last game also started.

Kojiro and Musashi's Poisonous Powder Moth, Xiaoyao's Hunting Swallowtail, Cross Bat and Shuttlecock Cotton competed for the winner of the last game.

Poisonous Powder Moth quickly grabbed the ring.

"Hunting Swallowtail, use Fierce Storm."

Hunting Swallowtail used Fierce Storm to hit the Crossbill and Shuttlecock Cotton.

"Good opportunity, Poisonous Powder Moth, follow the descending Fierce Storm and rush to the finish line!"

Poisonous Powder Moth took the Fierce Storm to bring the ring to the finish line. Xiaoyao and Hunting Swallowtail looked at each other, who knew that it would actually make wedding clothes for Kojiro.

Xiaozhi won the place in the finals first, and the next is the duel between Kojiro and Kate.

The two rushed to the ring together, but Kojiro asked Poisonous Powder Moth to stop halfway. The clouds were suddenly blown away by the wind, and the strong sunlight made the blue bird unable to see the ring.

"Poisonous Powder Moth is now! Use impact!"

Poisonous Powder Moth knocked the blue bird away, grabbed the ring and rushed to the finish line. The two sides of the finals are Xiaozhi and Kojiro.

"Poisonous powder moth uses illusion beam."

"Big Swallow, avoid it and use air slash!"

The illusion beam attacked Big Swallow, Big Swallow flapped its wings to avoid it, and used air slash to hit Poisonous powder moth.

"Big Swallow rises, go grab the ring."

"Poisonous powder moth, don't give up, let's go grab the ring too."

Big Swallow was faster, and just when it was about to grab the ring, a sudden gust of wind swept up the soil to form a tornado like a sandstorm, wrapping the ring in it.

"Listen, Poisonous powder moth, wait until the wind disappears and then go grab the ring."

"Big Swallow rushes in!"

"What?"

Xiaozhi's operation made Kojiro confused!

Big Swallow was trained by mythical beasts such as Zapdos. Big Swallow can even withstand the thunder of Zapdos, let alone this small tornado.

Big Swallow rushed into the tornado, using its wings to attack while turning, and quickly approached the ring. After the King Swallow snatched the ring, it descended rapidly. Because of the tornado, the poisonous powder moth could not fly in a balanced manner like the King Swallow, and could only watch the King Swallow rush through the finish line.

The host said: "We have reached the finish line! Xiaozhi will be the honorary citizen of Yokodo Town this year!"

Kojiro cried: "Teacher, I'm sorry! I failed your teachings!"

The Magic Ring Yokodo Conference is over, and Xiaozhi and his group continue to move towards Inyu City!
