49. Red Lotus Island

Although he didn't get a qualification badge in the Pokémon Identification Exam, it wasn't a big deal for Ash. At this time, Ash's badges have reached six, and as long as he wins two more badges, he can also participate in the quartz conference. And now, the group is taking the ferry towards the location of the next badge - Red Lotus Island!

"Pikachu! I didn't get the qualification badge last time because of you!, so you're going to be responsible for the next two badges...... Hey, did you hear that!"

"Pikachu~~~ (Qiuqiu ~ Qiuqiu ~ I love you ~~ Just like Pikachu loves ketchup ~~~) "Now if Pikachu adds a guitar, he can go to the street to perform." Although the lyrics have been changed beyond recognition, even the tone has gone into a mess...... But......

"It's so cute~~~" *2 Xiaoxia and Sundae, who were watching Pikachu sing love songs to Qiuqiu on the sidelines, were cute, and even the idea of accusing the other party of saying the same thing to himself was cute. The other girl present, Nazi, also blushed, but she didn't say it because of personality problems. Many times, for girls, just being cute is enough.

The "culprit" of today's situation is none other than Sundae and her PM Qiuqiu. After the exam, Sundae successfully obtained the qualification to participate in the Quartz Convention, which also means that Sundae no longer needs to return to Pokémon Academy. At this time, Sundae made a proposal to travel with Ash to increase his strength, and Ash agreed without much thought at that time. Now that I think about it, Ash really regrets it......

"Alas~~~ Really, whatever you want~~~" Xiao Zhi sighed in unison with Ibuqi, who was still on his shoulder, indicating that he had no choice but to Pikachu, and turned to Xiao Gang and asked, "Xiao Gang, what kind of place is Red Lotus Island to go to next? Hey! Xiao Gang!"

Ash had to raise his voice, I don't know if it was Pikachu who affected Xiao Gang or Xiao Gang who affected Pikachu, in short, Xiao Gang, who was intoxicated and admired the various beauties on the ferry, didn't hear Ash's question at all.

"Alas, please, Ibu-chan ......" In desperation, Ash then sacrificed his killer weapon - Ibu-chan's teeth! Don't look at other people's Ibu-chan's petite stature, and his teeth are naturally small, but it's no problem to bite a person's palm.

"Woo, ah, ah!! it hurts, it hurts!! please let go!!-sama Eevee!!" After pulling Xiao Gang's consciousness back from the female body, Xiao Ash had to ask the previous question again. Xiao Gang thought for a while, raised his palm that was still dripping blood, stretched out his index finger and said, "Red Lotus Island is a famous volcanic island, and the research institute over there is also conducting research to cultivate stronger PMs." It's not an exaggeration to say that it's a 'holy place' flocked to by Pokémon trainers from all over the country. ”

"Eh~~~ It's amazing. I really want to get to Red Lotus Island as soon as possible. Ash couldn't help but get excited, but at this time, there was a somewhat puzzled voice from the sundae: "Xiaogang, where did you see or hear about this?" It turned out that Pikachu had finished playing its lame love song, and Xiaoxia and the others also returned to their original state.

"Hmm? I saw it in a magazine before. It's just that I haven't had the opportunity to travel before. Xiao Gang was also a little strange how the sundae could do this, but he still told the truth.

"I see, no wonder you don't know. Sundae clapped his hands and suddenly realized.

"Hmph, if you have something to say, why pretend. Xiaoxia sneered with some disdain.

"Who are you pretending to be?"

"Alright, alright, Sundae, just say whatever you know. Stop arguing~~~" Ash's head hurt enough today, so he couldn't help but stop it immediately and stop the meaningless quarrel.

"Okay. According to what I know, the 'trainer holy land' mentioned by Xiao Gang is still a 'sheng land', but it is already a 'tourist attraction'~~~"

"Huh?"*2

It didn't seem to be enough stimulation for Ash, and Sundae stretched out his finger and shook it and said, "Not only that, but I also heard that the Red Lotus Daoist Hall seems to have closed its doors!"

"Eh, eh, ~~~~~"

……

The next facts also hit Ash's enthusiasm hard, not only did he see many tourists wearing floral shirts and hanging cameras on the ferry, but Ash was even more dumbfounded after the ferry docked. There are small stalls selling souvenirs, and the streets are lit up with lights, and tourists take photos from time to time.

"The Holy Land of Pokémon Trainers, what kind of corner has it disappeared to...... It's really ......" Xiao Gang looked dissatisfied, he was looking forward to saying before, he didn't expect it to be such a scene.

"What is the warmth of the body and the cold head?"

While the crowd was walking aimlessly down the street, a foreigner wearing sunglasses suddenly stood in front of them and came up with a riddle to himself.

Xiao Zhi and the others didn't mind, and they thought about it one after another. Among them, Ash's thinking is the most "agile", and he came up with the "answer" in less than three seconds: "Do you need to say this~~ It's too simple!" Everyone couldn't help but look at Ash in surprise, they really didn't expect him to come up with the answer so quickly.

Xiao Zhi didn't sell Guan Zi either, and said the "answer" he thought of: "Of course it's to put your head in the refrigerator! The body is rolled up in an electric blanket~~ and then the person who takes a nap is right~~~" [Voice of the sky: Zhiye's answer is too supernatural, forgive my little brother, I can't think of a colder answer than this......]

Ice.

Absolute coldness.

It's obviously on the street, but the temperature around it suddenly cooled down because of Ash's "high theory".

With a "poof", Nazi couldn't help but hold her stomach and laugh anymore. Well, from this point of view, Ash's true destiny may be Nazi, because everyone really can't laugh at this joke that is so cold that the Arctic Ocean, Pikachu and Eevee on Ash's shoulders have jumped into the arms of Xiao Gang and Sundae shivering, it is too cold.

"Are you kidding me!!" I originally wanted to use this kind of riddle puzzle that didn't have much level to entertain and entertain, but I didn't expect the other party's answer to directly chill my fiery heart to the bottom, and the "foreigner" couldn't help but yell.

"Eh, isn't that right?" said Ash, who said that the answer was correct both in terms of reality and innovation.

"How can this be right!!!" *4, not only foreign uncles at this moment, but also Xiaoxia and them shouted out except for Nazi, who was still laughing.

"Wow, don't hit me like that. No, it's not right, then you can tell me the right answer!" Ash was also taken aback by everyone's reaction, and said with some unconvinced.

Xiaoxia: "Ice head?"

Sundae: "Warm?"

"Ahh

"That's right!" For the first time, Uncle Foreign felt that it was a good thing that someone could give the correct answer, and he continued, "This was indeed the dream of many Pokémon trainers in the past, but since the hot springs dug up here one day, it has become a tourist attraction. At this point, the foreign uncle suddenly knelt down in the middle of the road and shouted, "How sad this is!!"

"Okay, okay, sad and pathetic. By the way, uncle, do you live on this Red Lotus Island? Do you know where the Red Lotus Gym is? It won't really close its doors, right? What about Xia Bo, the trainer of the gym?"

"Who is Xia Bo? The owner of the Red Lotus Dao Pavilion is not called Xia Bo by such an old-fashioned name! As for the Red Lotus Dao Pavilion...... Far away in the sky, close in front of you!" he pointed to a building next to him, indicating that it was the Red Lotus Gym.

"Eh!!Is that the Red Lotus Gym?"*5The so-called "Red Lotus Gym" that appeared in front of everyone looked like it had experienced an earthquake, and it was in ruins, not to mention the Gym.

"Why ...... like this," Ash couldn't help but hang his head weakly.

……

Seeing that there was no hope of challenging the gym, Ash and his party had no choice but to clean up their mood and find a place to settle down first, but the result made everyone dumbfounded again.

Everyone already knows that Red Lotus Island is now a tourist attraction, but what everyone didn't expect was that it would be so popular. Not only the Pokémon Center, but also the various hot spring inns are already full, and reservations are scheduled for next year.

"Woo, careless, I knew that Miss Ben should have called earlier to make an appointment, but I didn't expect there to be so many people!" Sundae looked very frustrated, she didn't have a temper with the eldest lady, but she regretted losing this opportunity to brush up on her favor. Just imagine, if she "made a big fuss" when Ash couldn't find a place to live, then Ash's favorability value would not rise awkwardly, and worship her like a goddess.

Unfortunately, all this can only exist in the imagination now.

Someone did!

"Eh, isn't that Ash over there?" Just when Ash was attracted by the aroma coming from somewhere because he couldn't find a place to live, a familiar voice suddenly sounded from the place where the fragrance came from.

"Eh, Xiaomao, why are you here too!"

"That's what I want to ask. Can't you find a place to live? Forget it, Young Master Ben is merciful, and you can come in together. Anyway, the room was big enough and I ordered a lot of dinner. Let's eat together. ”

"Xiaomao!I suddenly realized that I didn't make you a friend for nothing!!" "Pickup Pickup!!" "Bou!!"

Looking at Ash, who was grateful to Xiaomao, Xiaoxia and Sundae looked at each other. Nazi muttered even more, "It's so strong...... This time the enemy is really strong......"

[PS: Ash's favorability towards Xiaomao UP?! ]

Makoshige: Hey, why did I become so basic? I'd rather be like Ash in TV than be so basic!!]
