Chapter 36: Red Lotus

"This is—Red Lotus Island?" Standing in the crowded streets, Momei muttered,

"Isn't the Red Lotus Daoist Hall supposed to be here?" Xiao Ling looked at the trainer's guide and said strangely. After the appraisal test, the three of them rode the fire-breathing dragon to the location of the seventh gym - Red Lotus Island.

But even after looking for a long time, there is no news of the Red Lotus Dao Hall. On the contrary, the hot spring service on the island is very well developed.

"People always pursue enjoyment~" Xingchen visited all kinds of food and small items on the street, as if he had suddenly lost interest in the gym.

"What is the warmth of the body and the cold head?" A yellow-haired uncle in red suddenly stood in front of the three of them,

"Is it an open-air bath?" Momei hesitated,

"That's right," the strange uncle excitedly said, "You're right, this place was indeed a place of longing for Pokémon trainers in the past"

"But since one day, the hot springs have been dug up," the uncle's face revealed a sense of disappointment, "Since that day, Red Lotus Island has been transformed into a tourist attraction, and the Red Lotus Daoist Hall will naturally not be able to open, how sad it is."

"Uncle, you're from Red Lotus Island, so you should know the location of the gym, right?" Momei asked,

"The name of the gym trainer is Xia Bo?" Xiaoling added,

"What's it that is close in front of you, but you can't see it?" Without answering the question directly, the yellow-haired uncle threw out the second question,

"Do you mean eyelids, or the Taoist temple that has become a ruin, or are you standing in front of us, the owner of the Red Lotus Daoist Pavilion-Xia Bo" Xingchen said seriously,

"Who is he?"

"Xia Bo?" , Mo Mei and Xiao Ling glanced at each other and said in surprise.

"How so?" Xiao Ling carefully looked at the yellow-haired uncle in front of her, no matter how she looked at it, she didn't want to be the owner of the gym......

"Xingchen, are you sure he is?" Momei really can't associate the fashionable man in front of him with the Taoist temple owner,

"Young man, it's common to recognize the wrong person~" The yellow-haired uncle also denied it with a smile,

"I believe in my eyes~" The stars did not waver, "besides...... From the moment we started to inquire about the Red Lotus Gym, you started to follow us...... Don't you explain? ”

No wonder you didn't look like you were in a hurry at all from the start...... Xiaoling felt as if she had been deceived,

"Haha~" The yellow-haired uncle laughed, "I heard that there is a great trainer in Kanto, and it seems that it is really right~."

If you don't know, you can easily say it, but what is it that you can't open your mouth when you know it? ”

"Why is it a guess again~" Xiao Ling said weakly,

"Do you mean your bad disguise?" Xingchen chuckled and said.

"Young people nowadays, they're really impatient~" took off the wig, and the yellow-haired uncle changed into a bald uncle......

"It turned out to be a wig," Xiao Ling suddenly realized,

"Are you ~ Xia Bo?" Momi asked politely,

"It's still a girl who is polite~" Xia Bo glanced at Xingchen who didn't say a word, "The location of the Red Lotus Daoist Pavilion is at the boarding house on the top of the mountain, I'm waiting for you there~"

"Wait~" Xiao Ling walked quickly to catch up with Xia Bo in front of her, but was helplessly stopped by the crowd, so she could only watch Xia Bo slowly disappear.

"Let's go eat something first~" Momi said while holding the six tails who screamed,

"Okay~" looked at his elf helplessly, and the only thing Xingchen could do was compromise.

In the evening, several people came to the house of the boarding house that Xia Bo had called. Unlike the bustle below, this hostel, called a homestay, is much more deserted. I think it's the place where Xia Bo lived after he got tired of fighting.

"This is, Red Lotus Gym?" Momei looked at the building in front of her uncertainly, and what she saw in front of her was clearly just a hotel~

"Welcome, welcome~" Hearing the voices of the three people, Xia Bo walked out, "There is a big flood above, and a big flood below, what is it?" ”

"I know" Xiaoling covered her head, indicating that she was powerless to complain.

"You don't want us to soak in the hot springs, do you?" Xingchen already has a guess in his heart,

"Oh~You're very smart~" Xia Bo couldn't help but bring the three of them into the hotel, and after receiving a full set of equipment such as bath towels, the three sighed helplessly,

"Well~If you come, you will be safe~" Xingchen took a deep breath and walked to the side of the plank with the wooden basin,

After the stars disappeared, Xiao Ling also walked to the bath on the other side with Momei,

"Wow~" The six tails cheered and threw themselves into the water,

"Aren't fire elves supposed to be water-averse?" Momi looked at the six tails swimming in the water, and felt that some common sense seemed to be wrong......

"The elf of the stars, it's not strange that anything happens~" Xiaoling threw down the bath towel and slowly walked into the hot spring.

"Six-Tails?!" After running around for a while, Xiaoling felt that she should find something to do for herself.

"Huh?" The little guy moved his ears, and had a very ominous premonition,

"Got you!" Xiaoling hugged the little guy and rinsed it carefully.

"Xiaoling, I think the state of the six tails ...... It doesn't seem to be very good~" Noticing the silent six-tails who were squeezed by Xiaoling's murder weapon, Momei reminded,

"Huh?" Xiaoling followed Momei's gaze, looked at her chest, and blushed and let go of the six tails,

"Whew?!" Six-tails' body struggled violently, swimming to the other side of the bath at the fastest speed in his life,

"Then I'll go up first, I'm a little tired today~" Wrapped in a white scarf, Mo Mei shook off her long wet hair and walked towards the pool.

"Okay~I'll go up later~" Xiaoling buried her head in the water, waited for Momei to go away, and rested boredly for a while.

"Wow~" The six tails were rarely well-behaved and lay on a stone lion and took a nap comfortably.

"That temperature shouldn't be able to burn the six tails~" Xiao Ling patted her chest and comforted herself,

However, at this time, the stone where the six tails were staying was oppressed by the elf and suddenly fell, as if something had been triggered.

"Huh? Is that? Xiao Ling noticed the new hole and was hesitating to explore, but suddenly found that the partition between the hot spring and the male and female baths had disappeared.

"Ah~" Covering her mouth tightly, Xiao Ling stared at the stars that had fallen asleep not far away, and her heartbeat accelerated sharply in an instant......

Different from the self-confidence in the past, Xingchen, who was sleeping at this time, had a tranquil expression, just leaning on the edge of the rock, with a few drops of water hanging from the corners of his eyes, which made people can't help but take a few more looks.

He ...... Who are you thinking about now? Two beautiful shadows appeared in Xiao Ling's mind,

The girl's gaze turned to notice the reflection in the water, the mist flowing above the tender white skin, and the white bath towel wrapped the perfect body, but still exposed the deep ditch,

The curved figure is more attractive due to the tightness of the bath towel, and a trace of crimson is revealed on the delicate face, which makes people's hearts beat faster~

Looking at the only audience at this time, the six tails who were turning their bellies and napping on the side, Xiao Ling raised his powder fist and cheered up,

"Come on, Xiaoling, he will be your person from today onwards!" The girl made an extremely bold plan in her heart, closed her eyes nervously, and slowly approached the young man's cheek,

"Hmm~" The sleeping star felt as if there was something more in his mouth, with a hint of sweetness, constantly touching his teeth......

Reflexively reaching out his hand, he seemed to be holding a piece of nephrite, and the moment it touched, 'nephrite' seemed to tremble, but fortunately it was quiet after that.

Xingchen, who was extremely sleepy, didn't think about it, and continued to sleep......

I don't know how long it took, the stars who woke up slowly opened their eyes, and the first thing they saw was the girl's face that had slept peacefully......

"What's going on?" Xingchen's eyes widened instantly, only to find that the girl was lying in his arms.

No way...... Xingchen nervously checked it and found that there were no special marks on the bath towel, so he breathed a sigh of relief......

Perhaps feeling the movements of the young man, Xiao Ling's eyelashes trembled, and she slowly woke up, just in front of the other party's eyes.

"Ahh Xiao Ling exclaimed in surprise and stood up like this, "That, that ......"

"What's going on?" Xingchen asked, noticing the changes in the bath, looking at the hole in the distance.

"I don't know, maybe the six tails touched some switch" Xiao Ling's heart rose with a sense of disappointment,

"Is it~ That should be Xia Bo's training ground, I'll go back and prepare."

"......" Xiaoling fell silent, as if something was missing in her heart.

"What if...... You really don't mind the danger I put on you...... Then after the Kwantung Alliance, I will give you an answer......"

A cloak fell on the girl's body, and the echo of the hole reached her ears.

"Hmph~ I want Miss Ben to wait so long" wrapped in the jacket with the fresh smell of the other party, Xiaoling wrinkled her nose, and couldn't help but be happy, "Hehe~ After the Kanto Champions League?" ”

Picking up the sleeping Six-Tails, Xiaoling went to Momei's room.

Ten minutes later, the three appeared at the exit of the cave,

"This is, Red Lotus Gym~" Momi muttered as he looked at the battle platform above the lava,

"You're finally here, I've been waiting for you for a long time~" Xia Bo in a short suit appeared, "It's been a long time since there was a suitable challenger for my elves to try their skills,"

"Then this time your elf will be very satisfied~" Xingchen held the Poke Ball in his hand and stepped forward to stand in the position of the challenger.

"3vs3, no problem~" Xia Bo stretched out three fingers, as if he was back when he was young,

"What if...... Can you let me use the words of the three elves~" Xingchen threw out the Poke Ball in his hand, a sky-high flame, which lasted for a long time,

The sparks rained in all directions, even dissolving part of the ground into a hissing sound that stunned Shabble.

In the midst of the red flames, a fire-breathing dragon roared angrily, dispersing the pillar of fire, and the dragon's eyes slowly stared at Xia Bo in front of him~

"Hmm~" In an instant, Xia Bo even felt like he was choked by the throat, and reflexively threw out the Poke Ball, "Try the strength of the other party first, Nine-Tails~"

With a clear roar, the nine-tails pounced on the field in front of Charizard,

"Flame Vortex~"

The flames of astonishing heat quickly covered the fire-breathing dragon in front of him, and even the surrounding rocks showed signs of melting, and the other party was drowned in flames without even making a sound.

"What's going on with them~" Xia Bo looked at the other party's two female companions from a distance, and his calm eyes seemed to have never been worried about Charizard.

"Your elf...... Is this the only way to do it? ”

Xingchen said indifferently, staring at the Nine-Tails who were constantly spewing flames,

"Huh?" Xia Bo found that even though the air had been distorted by the heat, the dark shadow inside the whirlpool still hadn't moved.

"Let's get on~" Xingchen said softly, "Flame radiation"

"Woo" As if a powerful obstacle appeared in front of the flames of the Nine-Tails, a crimson flame erupted, slowly pushing the flame vortex back.

Charizard, which reappeared, spewed crimson flames from its mouth, pushing the flames in the direction of the Nine Tails at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the hedge of the flames was not as deadlocked as expected, and the power of Charizard engulfed the opponent's body with flames with absolute superiority.

"It's not good, Nine-Tails will come back~" Xia Bo shouted urgently,

"It's too late~"

"Woo~" After a wail, the nine-tails were burned by Yan zhòng and fell down softly.

"It's such a high temperature~", Nine-Tails closed his eyes unwillingly and lost consciousness.

"Come back, thank you for your hard work~" Xia Bo took back the Nine-Tails and looked at the Charizard in front of him again, the elf who had not changed this posture, and defeated his own starting elf in this way......

"There's no way~" Xia Bo touched the top of his smooth head, and suddenly said excitedly, "What is the flame in the flames, the moving magma?" ”

"Why is it a riddle again", Xiaoling stroked her forehead and said helplessly,

A whirlpool slowly appeared in the underground magma, and a black shadow suddenly jumped towards the field,

"Duck-billed fire dragon, this is rare~" Xingchen playfully observed the elf in front of him, the bony bulging skin, and the duck-billed elf's body was slowly emitting white steam.

"Ku~" The duck-billed fire dragon stared at the fire-breathing dragon not far away, and put on a fighting posture,

"The other party is very strong, the duck-billed fire dragon, and the big character explosion that uses the maximum power! ~" Xia Bo shouted,

"Ku", a giant large-character flame erupted from the mouth of the duck-billed fire dragon, and it exploded into the fire-breathing dragon in front of it.

"Stop it~" Xingchen said confidently,

"Roar~" Charizard stretched out his right paw and made contact with the big character explosion in front of him.

"Click~Click" Charizard's hind limbs only took a step back, and the big word explosion was blocked.

"How~possibly~" Xia Bo was surprised.

"No matter how many times I watch it, his elf is still so perverted~" Xiao Ling looked at Charizard speechlessly.

Straightening his body, Charizard exploded the big words in his hand and tore them into brilliant sparks.

"Big Character Explosion~"

The stars pronounce the nouns that appear in time,

Charizard took a deep breath and opened its mouth, and a flame comparable to five times the size of Fang appeared.

"Get out of the way, duck-billed fire dragon~" Xia Bo said loudly,

"Ku~" struggled to dodge the giant flames in front of him, and the duck-billed fire dragon covered his shoulders and retreated to the side~

"Don't be distracted~" The young man's faint voice broke the short silence,

The duck-billed fire dragon's heart was cold, and a gust of wind sounded directly above, and a fist with flames slammed down.

"How is that possible?"

The duck-billed fire dragon's consciousness was immediately deprived by severe pain~

"Duck-billed fire dragon~" Xia Bo withdrew the spirit in his hand and was speechless for a long time.
