Chapter 54: Arriving at Red Lotus Island
The sea breeze blows in your face, carrying the salty smell of the sea. The four of them stood at the guardrail with a few relatively petite elves, looking at the endless sea. While being open-minded, Xiaoxia couldn't help but sigh, "Now I finally have a feeling that Ash is moving towards the path of Pokémon Master." "Ash has now collected six Gym Badges, and the Red Lotus Gym they're about to go to is the seventh. As long as he collects the Crimson Badge, Ash is one badge away from being able to compete in the Quartz Alliance Tournament. I think when I first saw Ash, Ash was still a bad guy with some willfulness. Although it is still impulsive now, it is not as brainless as before.
Ash didn't speak, of course he didn't speak just because he didn't know the sigh in Xiaoxia's heart, otherwise he would definitely blow up and ask Xiaoxia to duel with her.
"Red Lotus Island is a volcanic island, and the research institute there is also engaged in research to cultivate stronger elves. Xiao Gang looked at the sea, imagining the Red Lotus Island in front of him, and didn't know what kind of elves they could see.
"That was a long time ago, Xiao Gang, isn't your travel book a little too old. Xiao Mao thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to remind him that it was the one who was more excited to watch the sea, especially Xiao Zhi, a guy who was almost burning his fighting spirit.
"Hey, I saw a lot of people on this boat. Xiao Gang asked puzzled. Why did Shigeru say that it was a long time ago?
Xiao Xia looked sideways at Xiao Mao and asked, "Xiao Mao, you don't know any inside information, do you?"
"Shigeru, do you know the inside scoop? Facing the inquiries of the three people, Xiao Mao calmly looked at the sea and said, "I know some news about the Daoist Hall and the Research Institute, but it's not any internal information. ”
"Then you should tell me quickly, what's wrong with the gym. When Ash heard that it had something to do with the gym, he immediately became anxious. The seventh badge he's about to get in his hands isn't going to fly like this, is it?
"In the case of the gym, the zài must be saved, but I don't know the exact location of the dojo. Xiao Mao honestly told Xiao Zhi that he couldn't lead them to this gym.
"What do you mean?" Ash and the three of them, along with Pikachu and Eevee, who were taking care of Pokambi, also looked at Shigeru at the same time. Leo Lu didn't follow Ash to make this kind of inquiry because he found some relevant news on the Internet. However, after Xiao Mao spoke, Leo Lu also immediately turned his head to look at Xiao Mao.
"What Xiao Gang said before is indeed good, the research institute on Red Lotus Island is engaged in cultivating stronger elves. But the institute then disappeared due to an accident and an explosion. The current institute was rebuilt. Xiao Mao looked at Xiao Gang and said, "Because there was an accident in the research institute, a large amount of information was lost. Since then, Red Lotus Island has become a tourist attraction, not a place that trainers yearn for. ”
"But, why don't I have an impression of such a big event?" Xiao Gang looked at Xiao Mao in confusion, and Xiao Xia also asked curiously, "That is to say, I have no impression of this matter at all." "This shouldn't be, the problem of elves, whether it is a trainer or a breeder, will be extremely concerned.
Ash himself only focused on the elves themselves, and didn't pay too much attention to these things, so he was a little confused and didn't understand what this had to do with the gym.
"The cause of the accident at the research institute on Red Lotus Island is still a mystery. Although it is officially believed to be a real yàn failure, there are also some that it is man-made. After all, the research institute on Red Lotus Island is not only a sacred place for trainers, but also a place where we researchers want to find out. Whether the information was lost in the explosion or was taken away by someone with a heart? These are all mysteries, and I think it's because of these reasons, and the media can't be sure, so I'll treat it as a general incident. After all, although it is rare, it is by no means uncommon. In addition, the content of the current research institute is the same as before, but the progress is not up to the level at that time, which is a bit like degradation. Xiao Mao sighed lightly, this may be a warning to humans.
That makes sense. It's just Xiao Mao, how do you know these things?" After Xiao Xia understood what was going on in the research institute on Red Lotus Island, she was a little curious about how Xiao Mao knew that this kind of thing was almost hidden. After all, they are the same age, and they don't know things, does Xiao Mao know too much?
Xiao Mao was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that the three people who had been listening to him would suddenly ask questioning words. But Xiao Mao's reaction was fast after all, and he quickly replied, "I was also interested in this institute before, so I wanted to take a look." At the same time, I also had a conversation with Dr. Ohki. Dr. Oki said that there was very little useful information there, and it was not very meaningful to go. But I'd like to take a look at it, and it's still okay to gain some knowledge. ”
"It's Dr. Oki who told you. Xiaoxia and Xiaogang nodded, that's right, Xiaomao knows what they don't know, because there is a grandfather who knows the inside story to sue him. Xiao Zhi saw that Xiao Mao had finally finished explaining the matter of the research institute, but he didn't tell him what was going on with the Gym, so he immediately asked, "Xiao Mao, you haven't told me what happened to the Gym." What does it mean to be hard to find, but to save it?"
"In fact, because of the half-collapse of the research institute, almost all the people involved in the research of the strongest elves have passed away. So the current research institute is not so much a research institute as a place similar to Pokémon Hub. Of course, there are also tools for training the elves. But there aren't a few, to be precise, PhDs to re-examine the subject. After all, if you want to research, you have to start all over again. And it is in the case of no hint of material to foreshadow. Therefore, the current situation of Red Lotus Island is an outgoing tourist attraction. Because of the relationship between tourists, the Red Lotus Gym, which was originally relatively popular, was also buried. Although the Pokémon League has registered a gym, it is not marked in the new travel brochure. Xiao Mao pointed to the people sitting neatly in the distance waiting to take a group photo, and smiled helplessly, "Look, a group photo is being taken over there, isn't it, there is a swimming pool there." People who come here are here for a relaxing holiday. We are the only ones who are here to challenge the gym. ”
"Xiao Mao, you mean, the Daoist Pavilion is stored, but we need to find it ourselves?" Xiao Xia looked at Xiao Mao in disbelief. Red Lotus Island is very big as a tourist attraction, they won't really be so miserable to find any Taoist halls on it, right?
"You're right, we really want to find the legendary Red Lotus Daoist Hall in Red Lotus Island. Xiao Mao shrugged helplessly, he knew that the Red Lotus Daoist Pavilion was still because of Xiao Zhi and them. In his previous life, he came to Red Lotus Island just to relax, after all, Red Lotus Island is close to the volcano, and there are many hot springs around it. Soaking in hot springs is good for your body and very comfortable.
'Teacher, is this what you are talking about, another human fault?' Leolu looked up at Xiao Mao, who smiled helplessly, full of bitterness. The strongest elf, Mewtwo......
"Mewtwo?" Leolu asked puzzledly, repeating the words that Shigeru had passed to him, "Who is it?"
'An artificial elf, a super-divine beast elf that is more powerful than what humans call a divine beast. 'Xiao Mao looked at the sea, Mewtwo is still there with Team Rocket, right?
'Man-made Divine Beast?' Leolu expressed his shock, the Divine Beast is powerful, but it is also unpredictable. Human beings actually relied on their own wisdom to create a divine beast!
'Yes, Divine Beast. but it is the sin of mankind. As soon as Xiao Mao finished speaking, Xiao Zhi and Xiao Xia over there were arguing, where to go to find the so-called Red Lotus Dao Hall. After arguing for a long time, there was no result, and finally the three of them looked at Xiao Mao, Xiao Mao was talking to Leo Lu, naturally he didn't hear what Xiao Zhi was arguing about, Xiao Zhi, who was in a hurry to pull someone to stand on his side, couldn't help but pat Xiao Mao on the shoulder, and summoned Xiao Mao's soul back, "Xiao Mao, you said we should go where to find the Red Lotus Dao Hall?"
"There is no need to be in a hurry to find the gym. I think the first thing we need to wait for is to find a place to rest at night. Xiao Mao thought about it for a while, Honglian Island is still very famous as a tourist attraction. It's better for them to hurry up and find out where to stay.
"Judging by the situation on the ship, we should have looked for accommodation in advance. Xiao Gang also supported Xiao Mao's opinion. After all, if you look at the people on the boat, you will know that if they go late, they will definitely not have a house to live in.
"Well, that's all there is to it. Xiaoxia sighed helplessly, and then asked loudly as if she remembered something, "Is there a hot spring on Red Lotus Island?" ”
"That's right. Xiao Gang nodded, the tourist brochure in his hand was written.
"Then we just need to find a place to stay, which means that we can take a good break in the hot springs at night, right?" Xiaoxia looked at Xiaomao excitedly. Girls, for hot springs, they still care a lot.
"Well, yes. Xiao Mao was scared by Xiao Xia, but fortunately, Xiao Mao had the experience of dealing with girls before. I quickly understood why Xiaoxia was so excited.
"Ah, when will we find a gym for a gym competition? Although Ash was slightly looking forward to the hot springs, he was even more looking forward to the victory in the gym competition.
Xiao Mao and Xiao Gang looked at Xiao Zhi helplessly, and finally Xiao Mao spoke, "You only need two gym badges to participate in the Quartz Alliance." Now there is still a long time before the Quartz Alliance, and with a short rest, the impact is not great. Moreover, Pikachu and they can take a good rest and play at a normal level when they compete. Xiao Mao looked at Xiao Xia and Xiao Gang with a smile and said, "Anyway, it's going to be a long time on the boat now, let's relax on the boat." ”
"Then I'm going to go swimming!" Xiaoxia immediately decided. She noticed the pool when she got on the boat.
"I'm going..."Before Xiao Gang finished speaking, he saw a beautiful woman passing by, immediately rushed over, and asked with a smile, "May I ask this beautiful young lady, do you have time to have a cup of tea with me?"
The woman was taken aback by Xiao Gang, and after softly refusing, her elegant posture actually accelerated away. Leaving Xiaogang to bow his head and lament that he had fallen out of love again. However, Xiaogang was resurrected quickly, after all, there are many beautiful big sisters on the ship.
Xiao Mao was looking for a place to think about Mewtwo, but Ash suddenly stopped him. Ash was thinking at first, and went up there to find the Red Lotus Gym. After all, Red Lotus Island, as a tourist attraction, is not small in itself. They can't keep looking for a gym here, right? Xiao Mao, who has always been well-prepared, doesn't know where the Red Lotus Dao Pavilion is, if he can find it, wouldn't he win Xiao Mao? As soon as he thought of this, Xiao Zhi immediately stopped Xiao Mao, "Xiao Mao, can you lend me your computer?"
"No problem, but what do you want it for?" Xiao Mao was a little puzzled, after all, as far as he knew, Xiao Zhi's computer level was the most rudimentary.
"I'd like to check the location of the Red Lotus Gym. "Xiao Zhi doesn't believe it, it's a good gym, how can it be said that it's gone.
Xiao Mao raised his eyebrows, and teased with some surprise, "Oh, it's really rare, Xiao Zhi, you can actually search for the information of the gym." "After all, although everyone can't reveal the news of the gym. But for example, the owner's combat style, this kind of thing, some people will still say.
"Who asked for the information, I just want to know where the Red Lotus Daoist Pavilion is. I don't want to be like you, you have to be careful about everything, and you don't have any sense of urgency. "Ash is uncomfortable with Mao's style of play. He definitely didn't admit it, because he had lost too many times! Well, he just thought that kind of game was too boring.
"I call this steady dìng play, not to fight uncertain battles. I'm not like somebody who always wins by accident. Xiao Mao shrugged, he has always been happy to tease Xiao Zhi.
"Hmph, you wait, wait for me to find the location of the Red Lotus Gym!" Ash said unconvinced.
Xiao Mao knew that Xiao Zhi and they would definitely find the Crimson Badge, but since Xiao Zhi had to find it himself, why should he help him?" "Since you are so confident, how about we make a bet?"
"Bet on what?" Ash looked at Mao in confusion.
"If you can find the location of the Red Lotus Dao Pavilion by tonight alone, even if I lose. You can ask me three things, including battles. On the other hand, if you can't find it, I win, and I can make three requests to you. How?"
"Okay!" Ash naturally looked at Xiaomao with confidence. After all, Xiao Mao gave him a lot of time, so he didn't believe it, he was willing to search on the Internet, and he couldn't find the Red Lotus Dao Hall!
Shigeru handed the computer to Ash, who immediately took the computer back to the room for a search. Of course, in order to prevent Ash from breaking his computer, Shigeru deliberately asked Leo Lu to be Ash's teacher.
Pikachu and Eevee take Pokobi to the pool with Kasumi to play in the water. Shigeru found a cool spot on the deck and began to reminisce about his previous life, his memories of Mewtwo.
Xiao Mao took it out
Shigeru circled 'Sakaki' with a pen, and if he's not mistaken, Sakaki seems to be the owner of Tokiwa Gym... By the way, the only time I lost the battle in the gym was in Tokiwa City. Originally, the elf qualifications of the gym were indeed average, and the instructions of the gym owner were also relatively average. When he thought he was going to take down this gym badge, the hall owner suddenly took out a little elf with full armor. Until now, he remembers the strength of that elf. Wait!Xiao Mao's eyes widened and looked at the Tokiwa Dojo that he circled around the right circle in the notebook, Xiao Zhi's last gym challenge was the Tokiwa Dojo, he didn't participate in the Quartz Alliance this time, Xiao Zhi wanted to participate in the Quartz Alliance, and he had to compete in the Dojo Competition. If I'm not mistaken, when Ash challenged, Sakaki suddenly left...
When Xiao Mao was about to reason out about the matter, suddenly a big sister smiled and asked Xiao Mao some questions. As for why I recognize Xiao Mao, it is also because as a researcher, every time I publish a paper, I will follow their photos next to me to indicate my identity. These papers will be published in a book called "Friends of the Elves". As a researcher at the age of ten, and successively published papers in "Friends of Elves", Xiaomao still has a certain popularity. Moreover, Xiao Mao has not been idle recently, and has reorganized and published some of the topics he remembers and studied in the past. Of course, the relative information was provided to him by his grandfather, after all, he didn't have any pokemon to study at hand. However, his popularity has increased. Grandpa didn't pursue his enslavement of him too much, but instead pursued him for not being very diligent in publishing papers.
In this regard, Xiao Mao can only laugh dryly. A dissertation is not a book, you can just write it casually. He couldn't shout to his grandfather, 'Grandpa, don't forget the difficult birth appearance of your own paper, and forget the hardships of the past when you have to sè with your friends, is this really good?'
Xiao Mao's fugue was excessive, but fortunately, he reacted on his own, came back to his senses, and chatted with this big sister. If Xiao Mao, who was once ten years old, enjoyed this kind of conversation, then Xiao Mao, who is already in his twenties, especially after knowing the person he likes, recruiting bees and butterflies is something that is completely irritating to someone, Xiao Mao is still relatively lazy to do. However, as a polite gentleman, Xiao Mao still smiled and chatted with the lady until they got off the boat... It is accompanied by Xiao Gang's strong and substantial resentment.
After getting off the boat, Xiao Mao took Xiao Zhi and them to the hotel directly, and he had already prepared to book a room. Because most of them are directly booked, if it weren't for Xiao Mao's preparations, they were afraid that they would really sleep on the streets. Originally, the two rooms were separated, but Xiao Mao's face was still very pleasing, especially Xiao Gang's special favorite, the joy of the beautiful big sisters. The big sisters who came to book the room gave in, and let Ash and their group of people lean against each other's rooms. Because Ash and Shigeru made a bet, Ash left immediately after knowing that the room had been decided.
Xiaoxia naturally went shopping as a girl, and Pokebi wanted to go out to play, so Xiaoxia took Pokebi and Pokebi's guardians, Pikachu and Eevee, and left. Xiao Gang is in charge of looking at the house, and the most important thing is that their room is surrounded by beautiful big sisters.
Leo Lu is a relatively rare elf, Xiao Mao found a dress for Leo Lu to wear, he plans to go to the research institute to take a look, Leo Lu dialect, it is better to hide a copy as much as possible.
When Shigeru and Leo Lu arrived at the institute, they saw various stalls. Xiao Mao frowned slightly, and Leo Lu immediately asked what was wrong with Xiao Mao. Xiao Mao pushed the slightly slippery flat mirror, shook his head and said, "It's okay, let's go in." ”
When Xiao Mao left, one of the stall owners, the three members of the Rocket Team who came to work, looked at the backs of Xiao Mao and Leo Lu, who was wearing a smaller white coat, and wondered, "That person's back is so familiar." ”
"Maybe it's because we're so busy, right?" Kojiro touched his chin and finally asserted.
"You two, hurry up and give me a hand!" Meow Meow gave a paw. Then the Rockets started a civil war, and by the time the client came to the door, the three of them returned to normal.
Xiao Mao took the work card and showed it to the people inside. The other party saw that Xiao Mao was a researcher and did not hinder Xiao Mao from entering. As for Leo Road, Xiao Mao directly told the people present that he was his assistant.
If it's a human being, of course, someone will stop it. After all, although the research progress here has become a turtle speed, it has almost become abandoned, and it is equivalent to a research institute of a tourist attraction. But it's not just a casual way to let ordinary people in. Fortunately, Xiao Mao had already prepared, so that Leo Lu leaked part of the body surface that represented it as an elf, Xiao Mao explained with a smile, and no one bothered him anymore and let him in.
When Xiao Mao found the computer and began to check the information inside, he found that there was indeed not much useful stuff, according to his doctor's eyes, most of the information here was almost basic enough to provide a trainer with a training list. Xiao Mao felt some unspeakable loss. After all, those materials are extremely valuable human treasures, and they are buried in this way. Even though he knew that the incident was irresistible, he still felt pity.
Because there weren't too many permission settings for the rest of the information, Xiao Mao easily copied a copy and took it away. When Shigeru returned to the hotel, he saw Ash sitting in the corner, and he seemed to be a little impatient. looked at Xiao Gang suspiciously, Xiao Gang shook his head, he didn't know what was going on with Xiao Zhi, anyway, when he came back and saw it, it was already like that.
Xiao Mao asked Leo Lu to sort out the materials that he had copied in the research institute before. Then he walked in front of Xiao Zhi and squatted down, and asked suspiciously, "Didn't you go to the Red Lotus Gym?"
"I did find the Red Lotus Gym. Ash scratched his head frustratedly, obviously a little irritated.
"Then what are you worried about?" Xiao Mao was a little puzzled, Xiao Zhi found the Red Lotus Gym, shouldn't he be happily looking for him to show off?
"But it's out of business. Ash said depressedly. I found it, but it went out of business. How can he challenge?
Xiao Mao was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Who sued you that the Red Lotus Gym went out of business?" He had obviously seen the crimson badge on Xiao Zhi's hand, how could he not have it?
"It's an uncle who likes to solve puzzles!" Ash said with a little annoyance. He guessed two riddles, but he didn't get them right. Then handed Xiao Mao an advertising paper. Xiao Mao took a look and found that there was a puzzle on it. This kind of character who likes to guess riddles is somewhat similar to his grandfather, Yukinari Oki. However, grandpa likes to say Kawaliu.
"Below is the swing, above is the elder brother chasing and running, that is the fan boarding house. Xiao Mao read out the words written above.
"Ahh It's a puzzle again. Ash's tone was full of complaints, and he couldn't guess this thing at all.
"It seems that we can go and find this uncle, after all, as a local resident, you should know the owner of the Red Lotus Dao Hall. Xiao Mao thought for a while, and felt that this person was still suspicious, maybe they could find out something.
"Xiao Mao, the gym is gone..."Xiao Zhi looked at Xiao Mao suspiciously, why did Xiao Mao still look so calm?"
"Naturally, Xia Bo did not cancel the gym, and this gym naturally still exists. It's just that maybe not in front of us. It's like guessing a puzzle. Xiao Mao shook the advertising paper in his hand.
"Then let's hurry up and find it tomorrow. Ash looked at Shigeru excitedly. Xiao Mao saw that Xiao Zhihui was fù, so he smiled and nodded. Then the food was prepared, because it was difficult for them to come out, and Xiao Maoding's room was a first-class guest room. The room was comfortable and luxurious enough and the natural meals were good.
When they finished their delicious meal, two elf entertainers came to perform for them. Xiao Mao was not in a good mood today because he went to the institute, so he didn't refuse and left them to perform. Ash and Gang didn't say anything because they were interested. Xiaoxia naturally stayed. It's just that... Halfway through the show, Fat Ding suddenly popped in from that place. Stand on a small stool and start singing.
As a result, no one was still awake to listen to the song of Fat Ding. The fat man who was angry was painted with a flowery face. Everyone was so tired, and the chubby ding's singing made them dreamless all night.
The author has something to say: ============ theater ==========
The leaf snake elegantly stretched its body in the hot spring, although as a grass elf it doesn't like fire very much, but it doesn't reject the hot spring very much. Because the body of the Ye Huang Snake is too long, it occupies a large area. The mini-dragon shrank into a corner. At this moment, the beautiful big eyes were looking at Ye Huang Snake with grievances. With the mist in the hot spring, it looks particularly pitiful.
If it's another soft-hearted elf or human, you may be deceived by the mini-dragon. But what is staying in this fountain at the moment is the Ye Huang Snake, who knows the nature of the mini dragon quite well and is not too much connected to the soft-heartedness. Even if the mini-dragon pretends to be pitiful, it will not ask the mini-dragon to come and share a place with it.
Seeing that Ye Huang Snake was not soft-hearted, the mini dragon blinked, put away his grievances, and tilted his head to look at Ye Huang Snake. It looks extraordinarily cute. But in the eyes of the Ye Emperor Snake, that's what kind of strange way this damn dragon is thinking of again. Ye Huang Snake, who was originally relaxing his body, instantly tensed his whole body.
Seeing that Ye Huang Snake's whole body was tense, the mini dragon couldn't help but relax his body depressedly, letting Ye Huang Snake see that it had no plans to make a surprise attack. Its dear Leaf Emperor Snake managed to soak in the hot springs, although it was bad not to let it get close. But it is still important to kiss the body of the loved one. Wait for the dear one to relax and see that it is not like this.
Seeing that the mini dragon did not move, Ye Huang Snake relaxed and became more vigilant. But after being tense for a long time, I didn't see the mini dragon make any moves. I don't know what the mini dragon is thinking about again, so he raised his eyebrows slightly, but didn't say anything. Instead, relax your body and let it get plenty of rest.
When the Ye Huang Snake was a little drowsy because of the hot spring, the mini dragon saw the opportunity, made a sprint, and accurately wrapped itself around the beautiful snake of the Ye Huang Snake. The awakened Ye Huang Snake tried hard to shake off the mini dragon, but finally bowed down. The angry Ye Huang Snake dragged the mini dragon back to the room where Xiao Mao and they were. But when they returned to the room, what they saw was that Xiao Mao and the others were sleeping in the dark, and there was still evidence of the crime left by the fat man on their faces.
Ye Huang Snake was stunned for a moment, and then was rubbed twice by the mini dragon. Ye Huang Snake's body stiffened, and then quickly rushed towards Xiao Mao, and quickly found his Poké Ball with a rattan whip, and in an instant, the red light flashed, and Ye Huang Snake returned to the Poke Ball. For pestering mini-dragons, it is simply impossible to fully warn mini-dragons. Ye Huang Snake can only choose this kind of 'cold' battle to compete with the mini dragon.
The mini dragon looked at Ye Huang Snake's Poke Ball, thought for a while, and finally did not return to his Poke Ball, but used his body to wrap Ye Huang Snake's Poke Ball. Hawkers, my daughter-in-law is big, rolled up, and I can't bear it. However, when the daughter-in-law enters the Poké Ball, she can easily hold it without pressure. It's just that the only pity is that the daughter-in-law refuses to chat with her.
The mini-dragon's big eyes rolled and rolled, and finally decided that it was more important to sleep with his daughter-in-law's 'Poke Ball' in his arms
It can be seen that even if the domineering and arrogant queen, Lord Ye Huang Snake, encounters a mini dragon with a black belly, she can only avoid its edge.
Shigeru: Ash, press your handprints obediently.
Ash: Damn, the mini dragon is so cute, and the Ye Huang snake is so domineering, why is it! I'm so angry, if I don't accept it, the script must be wrong.
Xiaomao: I am willing to lose the bet, Xiaozhi, are you planning to regret it?
Ash: Who, who repented. Isn't it, isn't it just memorizing the illustrated book!Hmph, I'm surprised to wait for Uncle Ben to memorize it!
Shigeru: I hope so.
