Chapter 31: Red Lotus Island, against Xia Bo
After sending the Water Stone back to Tokiwa City from Stern Town, the three of them set off towards the location of the next gym, Red Lotus Island.
Red Lotus Island is an isolated island in the sea. In order to reach Red Lotus Island, several people first came to a small town by the sea.
"Wow, it's the beach." Millet was very excited to see the beach.
Xiao Gang on the side showed a happy expression, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Millet was running on the beach and suddenly fell to the ground.
"What does it hurt?"
Wu Ma saw that Xiaomi's foot seemed to be caught in something, and immediately ran over.
After arriving at Xiaomi's side, I saw that what was caught on his foot was a big-tongued shellfish.
"It's a big-tongued scallop, and it looks like you've stepped on it."
"Big-tongued? Is it a water-based Pokémon?" Xiaomi asked.
"Yes." Wu Ma nodded.
"Very well, then I'm going to capture you."
Xiaomi takes out the Poké Ball from her backpack and throws it at the Big Tongue. The Poké Ball smashed into the Bigtongue and took it in.
The Poké Ball falls to the ground, and the center button glows red. After a flash of red light, the Poké Ball was opened, and Big Tongue escaped.
"In that case, let's fight."
Xiaomi stood up and threw out the Poké Ball.
"Please, starfish."
"Sea star, use the high-speed star."
The starfish spun and emitted countless yellow stars. The star struck the big-tongued shell and caused damage to it.
The big-tongued scallop jumped over and bit down on the tentacles of the starfish.
"Starfish, use a water gun."
The starfish's tentacles spewed water guns, sending them straight into the air.
"Spinning at high speed."
The starfish spun rapidly, rushed upward, and collided with the falling big-tongued shellfish.
The bigtongue fell to the ground, rolled for some distance and lost its ability to fight.
"Go, Poké Ball."
The Poké Ball is thrown again, taking the Bigtongue into it. After a flash of red light, the Poké Ball stabilized.
Xiaomi ran over and picked up the Poké Ball.
"Great, I've taken the big tongue!"
Xiaomi is very happy, and he has one more water-based Pokémon.
Xiaomi took out the Pokémon Illustrated Book and took a good look at the information of the big tongue shell.
After seeing that Xiaomi's side was fine, Wu Ma looked around, looking for Xiao Gang's figure.
At this time, Xiaogang played with the girl in a bikini and was very happy.
Wuma shook his head and ignored him.
From this seaside, you can reach Red Lotus Island. Not far from the port, you can take a boat to the Red Lotus Temple. But after knowing that he was seasick, Wu Ma tried not to take the boat as much as possible, and decided to go on a sea lion beast.
There is a distance from this port to Red Lotus Island, and it is difficult for the sea lion beast to carry three people. Wu Ma planned to let Xiao Gang and Xiaomi go on a steamer, and he himself followed behind in a sea lion beast.
Early the next morning, Xiao Gang and Xiaomi boarded the ship and set off towards Red Lotus Island.
"Let's go too."
When the boat was sailing, the witch horse sat on the body of the sea lion beast and followed closely.
"Brother Wuma, don't you really want to come up?" Millet shouted from the deck.
Wu Ma waved his hand to indicate that it was not needed. He still didn't want to get on the boat, and it wasn't good to get on the boat at this time, and others thought he was deliberately evading the ticket.
Sitting on the body of the sea lion beast, blowing the sea breeze, the mood of the witch horse is very happy.
For some reason, the sea lion always seems to be able to get the attention of other Pokémon. A lot of Pokémon in the sea swam forward with the sea lion beast. After swimming some distance, those Pokémon dived into the water. After disappearing, another group of Pokémon followed.
"Everyone, don't forget the way home." Witch Horse shouted at the Pokémon in the water.
At noon, Wu Ma took his lunch out of his backpack and ate it. At the same time, he also brought out the food that he had prepared for the sea lion beast. After eating its food, the sea lion regained its strength and accelerated forward.
As the sun went down, Wuma could see a huge island in the distance. That is Red Lotus Island.
Red Lotus Island is actually a volcanic island with many volcanoes on it. However, these volcanoes have not erupted in many years. The volcanic hot springs above attract a large number of tourists.
The sea lion beast was a little faster than the ship, and the witch horse reached the Red Lotus Island first.
It didn't take long for Xiaomi and Xiaogang to also get off the ship.
"Is this Red Lotus Island?" Xiaomi was very surprised.
"I heard that there are good volcanic hot springs here, so we can go and take a dip." Xiao Gang said.
Wuma is also very interested in volcanic hot springs, since he has come to Red Lotus Island, it is not bad to take a dip.
Red Lotus Island is a very popular tourist destination, and there are many people who usually come here for tourism. The Pokémon Center was already full of people, and the three of them searched for a long time before they found a hotel to live in.
After dinner, the three of them went to a place dedicated to soaking in hot springs.
Wuma ordered a separate hot spring, and the three of them soaked together. Xiao Gang seemed a little dissatisfied with this decision, but he didn't say anything.
The temperature of the hot spring is very high, and it feels hot at first, but when you soak your whole body inside, you feel very comfortable in an instant.
"Brother Wuma, I heard that the Pokémon used in the Red Lotus Dojo are fire-based, or I'll lend you my Pokémon."
"No need." Wu Ma smiled and refused.
Although Xiaomi's water-based Pokémon have more advantages in attributes, Wuma has not used them, and there is no tacit understanding between them. If you fight, you're likely to lose.
The gym trainer of the Red Lotus Gym, Xia Bo, is indeed a fire-type Pokémon, and his strength is quite strong. Since the other party uses a fire-type Pokémon, there is no way to use the stinky flower. That way, the only ones we can use are Tyrannosaurusmon, Bidomon and Sea Lionmon.
After the pangolin evolved into the king of the mountain, its combat effectiveness has also improved a lot, so you can also try it. But Xia Bo is a very good trainer, and Wu Ma must show his strongest strength to do it.
"Or use the Hackron. Dragon-type Pokémon also have an advantage against fire-type Pokémon." Xiao Gang said.
Yes, Witchhorse almost forgot about Hackron. However, if Wu Ma releases Hakron, Xia Bo will most likely send his strongest strength. At that point, even Hakron will have a hard time winning.
If you want to win the Gym Challenge easily, pretending to be a newcomer is a good way to do it. Pretend to be a newcomer, so that the Pokémon sent out by the gym trainer will be weaker. When the Pokémon Gym trainer reacted, it was too late.
However, this is opportunistic and does not benefit the growth of trainers. For those who simply want to earn badges, this is no problem. But for the witch horses who don't need badges, it's completely unnecessary. Even if you lose this battle, it's nothing. Xia Bo is a good opponent, and Wu Ma wants to see where the apex of his strength is.
The next day, when the witch horse was ready, he went to the Red Lotus Gym. However, he inquired for a long time, and he didn't know where the Red Lotus Daoist Hall was.
But fortunately, he knew the name of the gym trainer Xia Bo. Although the people here have not heard of the Red Lotus Dao Pavilion, there are still people who know about Xia Bo.
Since Red Lotus Island has become a tourist attraction, Xia Bo has also changed his main business to running a homestay.
Wu Ma came to the B&B and found Xia Bo.
"Hello, Mr. Xia Bo, I'm a witch horse from Joban City, and I want to challenge the Gym Competition."
"I didn't think you could find this place, it's really not easy."
The location of the Red Lotus Gym is relatively remote, and it has been converted into a homestay, so few people can find it here.
"How many badges did you get?" Shaber asked.
"It's seven."
"In other words, with the badge of the Red Lotus Gym, you can qualify for the Alliance Competition? I didn't expect you to challenge me at the end."
"After all, you're strong, and I want to grow enough to challenge you again."
Hearing Wu Ma say this, Xia Bo was quite happy.
"If you want to challenge the gym, of course you can! But you'll have to answer a few riddles to me first."
"Riddles?" Wu Ma was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that there would be such a request.
"Of course, you can say it!"
"Good. My first riddle was, what is the cold head and warm body?"
If he is asked other questions, he may not be able to answer them. But he only did it yesterday.
"It's an open-air bath." Wuma replied.
"That's right, congratulations."
Seeing that Wu Ma was able to quickly answer the first riddle, Xia Bo was very happy.
"Then comes the second riddle. There is no fear of fire on the top and no fire under the water, some people use it every day, some people never use it, what is this?"
Hearing this riddle, Wu Ma frowned, unable to think of an answer for a while. Z.br>
Xiao Gang suddenly said, "It's a pot."
"That's right, it's the pot, congratulations on getting it right."
After Wu Ma heard the riddle, he also reacted to why it was a pot.
"How did you come up with that?" Xia Bo asked Xiao Gang.
"Because I cook every day, I know a lot." Xiao Gang replied.
Wu Ma nodded, sure enough, he still practiced his true knowledge!
"Very well, now comes the last riddle, and as long as you get it right, you can play the Gym Challenge."
"One vine connects thousands of homes, and there are melons hanging in every house, and the melons don't grow big, and they will bloom at night. What is this?"
Wu Ma thought for a moment and came up with an answer.
"That's right, congratulations on getting all of you right. Now come with me to the battle!"
Wu Ma breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't expect that the Gym Challenge had not yet started, and so much mental energy would be consumed. The next battle will not be easy.
The three of them followed Xia Bo into the backyard. Shaber opened a stone door next to the hot springs, revealing a stone staircase.
"Let's go, the gym is down there."
The three of them followed Xia Bo and walked down the stone stairs. The further down you go, the warmer you feel.
"Why is it so hot?" Millet asked, wiping her sweat.
"Because Red Lotus Island is originally a volcano, there should be magma underground, so it will get hotter and hotter." Wuma explained.
It didn't take long for the three of them to walk through a stone door and see a huge space inside. There is an open-air crater above the space and steaming magma below.
Millet walked to the side and looked at the magma below. The sweat on his face dripped down and evaporated before it could drip into the magma.
"How are you going to fight here?" Xiaomi was very scared and retreated.
"Of course it's up there." Shaber said.
Above the lava there is a battlefield where four large chains are suspended.
Xia Bo walked over to one side and walked to the opposite battlefield.
"Brother Wuma, why don't you go up there? If you accidentally fall down, you will be miserable." Xiaomi said worriedly.
"What's the matter, don't you dare to come up?" Shabber shouted on the other side.
Wu Ma looked at Millet and comforted him, saying, "It's okay, it's going to be fine."
Wu Ma walked to the battlefield to the opposite side. The four chains were pulled very tightly, and the witch horse did not feel shaken after going out.
"The Red Lotus Gym uses a three-on-three battle, which side of the Pokémon loses all the combat abilities, and the other side wins. Of course, the whole space is a battlefield against us, not just the one where we are standing. How
Well, the rules are simple, right?"
"I see, let's get started!"
It's too hot here, and if you continue to stay, Wu Ma is worried that his body will not be able to bear it first, so it is better to settle the battle as soon as possible.
Wu Ma suddenly became serious.
"You have a good look, and I hope you can keep it up in the rest of the fight. You'll be the first to get up, Nine-Tails."
A fox Pokémon with nine tails appears on the field.
"Nine-Tails? In that case, I'll leave it to you, Bidor Beast."
Witch Horse sent out Bidomon with air superiority.
Xia Bo looked intently at Bidomon, he had lived for so many years, and it was the first time he had seen such a Pokémon.
"Interesting little one, I'd like to see how strong you are."
"Don't worry, you'll be satisfied." The corners of Wu Ma's mouth rose and he said with a smile.
"You're confident, so let me see how long you can last."
"Nine-Tails, use the Flame Vortex."
The Nine-Tails spewed flames like a whirlpool and attacked the Bidomon.
"Bidomon, get out of the way."
Bidomon flew to the side, dodging the attack.
"Bidomon, Mega Cannon!"
Bidomon's arms came together, gathering strength and unleashing the Mega Cannon.
"Nine-Tails, get out of the way."
Hearing Xia Bo's command, the Nine-Tails jumped to the side and dodged the attack.
The Miga cannon hit the battlefield on the opposite side, and the field shook slightly. Wuma took a step back, steadying his body.
The movements on both sides are very fast, and if you want to attack directly, it will be difficult to hit.
"Nine-Tails, use strange rays."
Nine-Tails unleashed a strange light at the beetle.
Bidomon suddenly flew up and crashed into the nearby rock wall. The temperature of the rock wall is very high, which takes a toll on the Pydomon.
"Bidomon. Cheer up."
Bidor shook his head to make himself as awake as possible.
"Nine-Tails, use the Flame Vortex."
"Bidormon, get out of the way."
Hearing the sound of the witch horse, Bidomon slapped his head to sober himself up. Bidhomon flew upwards quickly, dodging the Flame Vortex in time.
"Well done, use the Mega Cannon."
Bidomon unleashes a Megacannon of Mega again.
"Nine-Tails, get out of the way."
The Nine-Tails dodged the attack again.
At this time, the Bidomon flew over quickly and rushed to a position not far in front of the Nine-Tails.
"Bidomon, electrostatic field."
Bidomon released an electrostatic field, paralyzing the Nine-Tails slightly, and it was temporarily unable to move.
"Right now, One-Horn Impact."
Bidomon sped up and slammed into the Nine-Tails, pushing it out of the battlefield.
After the Nine-Tails left the opposing battlefield, they quickly fell towards the magma.
"Come back, Nine-Tails."
Before the Nine-Tails fell into the lava, Xia Bo retrieved the Nine-Tails.
"Your strength is really surprising, and the timing is good. But the real battle is just now on."
"Over to you, Flame Horse."
A horse covered in fur like a flame appeared on the field.
"Flame Horse, use the Flame Vortex."
"Bidomon, get out of the way."
Bidomon flew around the field, dodging the attack.
"Flaming Horse, use Bounce."
The Flame Horse crouched slightly, then jumped to his feet, jumping to a position about the height of Bidomon.
"Big word explosion!"
The Flame Horse unleashes a large character explosion in the air, hitting Bidomon.
Neither the witch horse nor the Bidomon could have imagined that the Flame Horse would be able to jump so high.
When Bidomon is attacked, it quickly falls downward.
"Come back, Bidormon."
Witch Horse took Bidomon back. If it had landed in the lava, there would have been no bones left.
This flame horse is very strong, and it is not easy to defeat it.
"Over to you, Sea Lionmon."
The second Pokémon sent by the Witch Horse is the Sea Lion Beast.
Seeing the witch horse release a second Pokémon that he had never seen before, Xia Bo frowned. He wondered if he was really old, and now that there were so many new Pokémon, he didn't even know about it.
Shaber retracted his mind and returned to his attention to the game.
"Flame Horse, use the Flame Vortex." Shaber was the first to let the Flame Horse attack.
The flame vortex attacked, directly covering the body of the sea lion beast.
"Sea lionmon, use the harpoon cannon."
The sea lion beast unleashed a series of harpoon cannons from different directions, hitting the flaming horse.
The injured flaming horse let out a cry of pain.
"Flaming Horse, use Stomping!"
The Flaming Horse rushed over, raising two hooves and stepping on the sea lion.
"Sea Lionmon, One-Horned Impact."
The sea lion's horn spun swiftly and struck at the flaming horse.
The flaming horse's feet stomped on the sea lion's body, and the sea lion's horns slammed into the flaming horse's body.
Both were hurt.
The thrust and shock force brought the two Pokémon apart.
"Sea lion beast, fish are on the rampage!"
The sea lion summoned a large number of fish, which carried the water and pounced on the flaming horses. Soon, the flaming horse was directly covered by the fish.
"Use the harpoon cannon."
The sea lion once again fired a series of harpoon cannons.
"Flaming Horse, Big Word Explosion."
The harpoon cannon hits the flaming horse, and the word blast hits the sea lion beast.
The Pokémon on both sides were damaged at the same time, and at the same time lost their combat ability and fell to the ground.
"Come back, Flame Horse."
"Come back, sea lion."
Both Wuma and Shabo saw that their Pokémon had been recovered.
Seeing that the flaming horse had been solved, the witch horse breathed a sigh of relief. Truth be told, the sea lion is no match for the Flame Horse. It was able to defeat the Flaming Horse, mainly because Shaber did not understand the Sea Lion Beast's attack methods. That's why Witch Horse had the Sea Lion Beast defeat the Flame Horse with a set of skills.
Xia Bo picked up a fish that had been grilled from the ground and took a bite.
"It tastes very good, but unfortunately it lacks some seasoning. The duck-billed fire dragon has come out to eat fish."
I saw the magma below tumble violently, and then a fiery Pokémon jumped out and stood on the battlefield opposite.
The duck-billed dragon glanced at the fish on the ground, turned its head away, and said it wasn't interested.
Wu Ma looked at the duck-billed fire dragon and felt a sense of oppression. This sense of oppression has only been felt in Dr. Oki's Swift Dragon and Millennial Ghost. Of course, the sense of oppression of the duck-billed fire dragon is not so great.
This duck-billed fire dragon is likely to be Xia Bo's ace Pokémon. It is almost impossible for the current witch horse to defeat this Pokémon. Even with the use of Hackron, there is no possibility of defeat.
Wuma let out a sigh. Although he hasn't sent out Pokémon yet, the results of this battle have already come out. But as he said before, even if he loses, he has to give full play to his strength.
"I'll leave it to you in the end, Tyrannosaurus."
The last elf sent by the Witch Horse was the Tyrannosaurusmon.
The third time Shabber saw an elf he had never seen before, and he was no longer surprised. He suspects that every Pokémon of Witch Horse is something he has never seen.
"Tyrannosaurus enemies are strong, but we
Nor can it be given up. No matter what, we're going to do our best!"
The Tyrannosaurus roared, very morale-boosting.
"It's good, it's a good thing to have that kind of morale."
"Duck-billed fire dragon, use a big character explosion!"
"Tyrannosaurusmon, use Super Flame."
The super flame and the big word explosion collided together and exploded directly.
Wu Ma felt a surge of heat and held his arms in front of him. If your face gets burned, you're in trouble.
The Tyrannosaurus and the Duckbill Fire Dragon rushed forward at the same time, their fists fighting together. The huge anti-shock force bounced off bouncing them apart.
Although the duck-billed fire dragon is smaller than the tyrannosaurus, it is not inferior in strength.
"Tyrannosaurusmon, razor-sharp claws!"
"Duckbill Fire Dragon, Flame Fist!"
The arms of the two collided again, and the tremendous force made the entire battlefield shake.
Wu Ma crouched on the ground, his eyes fixed on the battlefield opposite.
"Tyrannosaurusmon, use the unicorn blast."
Tyrannosaurmon used the horns on its head to push the duck-billed fire dragon out.
The duck-billed fire dragon spun around in the air and stood firmly on the ground.
"Duck-billed dragon, flame vortex."
The duck-billed fire dragon spewed out a vortex of flames that covered the body of the tyrannosaurmon. The Flame Vortex deals damage to Tyrannosaurus over time.
"Tyrannosaurus, swallow the flames into it."
The Witch Horse knew it was dangerous, but he had to let the Tyrannosaurus try it.
The Tyrannosaurus opened its mouth and swallowed the flames of the flame vortex.
"Use a jet of flame!"
The Tyrannosaurus uses its own flames to push the flames of the duck-billed fire dragon and attack towards the duck-billed fire dragon.
The flames hit the duck-billed fire dragon directly, knocking it flying.
The duck-billed dragon quickly fell, falling into the lava.
(If you want the female owner, please deduct 1, don't want the female owner, please deduct 2, and then ask the male owner...... Cough! )
