Kashiwagi has not forgotten the purpose of coming to Fuyan Town——
Gym challenge.
It takes so long to get three badges while traveling, which is somewhat unreasonable, and the progress may be slower than Xiaozhi.
But there was nothing they could do about it. In order to train Big Mouth Baby, they stayed in different cities for quite a long time, ranging from a week to more than half a month.
Especially this time in Green Town.
Not only did I successfully pass the double blue simulation, but I also completed the normal simulation three times. If this momentum continues, there will soon be another round of blue simulation.
After thinking again and again, he decided not to wait for the next round of blue simulation and start the gym challenge. The level of the two-headed tyrannosaurus reached level 57 not long ago. Adding the five levels previously rewarded, it would be level 62.
.
Dr. Yamanashi said that level can allow evolution to happen naturally, but it is not an absolute factor that affects evolution. Therefore, even if there is a difference of two levels, there won't be much of a problem.
The key lies in the heart and will of the two-headed tyrannosaurus to evolve.
Kashiwagi planned to give the opportunity to shine in the gym to the two-headed tyrannosaurus... and Happy Egg, and if possible, let Porygon also play a dozen.
Although the fight may be a little difficult, I believe they will definitely bring them the final victory.
Kashiwagi packed his things and was about to go out to sign up. He looked at Raikou who was still soaking in the hot spring with his eyes squinted and motionless. This guy hadn't moved since he soaked in -
It's a bit inaccurate to say that. It comes out when you are eating, and it is only when you are eating that you are most active.
Grooming and petting come next.
Anyway, this guy is basically stationed in the hot spring pool, and he doesn't even go for a walk. Obviously, the outdoors is within easy reach, at most only a wooden wall away.
"Are you going to stay in the pool for another day?"
Before closing the door, Kashiwagi shouted to Lei Gong, "Why don't you go out and pick up the strong and help the weak?"
The latter didn't answer at all. He sat upright like a clock, with the black iron piece on his forehead covered with a white towel. The latter was originally used to cool down and prevent cerebral congestion from excessive body temperature.
But for Lei Gong, this thing is more decorative than practical. It may not overheat after being soaked for a year.
"Okay, cool."
He didn't care if he didn't get a reply after waiting for a long time. Lei Gong rarely responded to his voice. He would usually only give eyes or an electric attack when he was being persecuted to warn someone not to cross the line.
Click.
The door is closed.
Lei Gong suddenly opened his eyes, then narrowed them again. The door opened a small crack, and a curious eye leaked out.
After a few seconds, it was still not found to be moving. The quietly observing eyes disappeared, and the door of the room was completely closed with an inaudible click.
Lei Gong: "..."
Why is this kid so annoying!
It opened its eyes, slowly crawled out of the smoky hot spring, lowered its head and pulled the white towel off its forehead, then suddenly shook off the moisture on its fur, and ran towards the towering Chimney Mountain outside the town.
Although we don’t know when Kashiwagi will come back, it still has things to do.
——
Fu Yan Gym.
Located in the southwest of Fuyan Town, it has tall buildings, green tiles and red roofs, making it look like some kind of miniature ancient city.
It can all be called cultural heritage.
Perhaps it is due to the influence of this simplicity that it is considered "simple" when it comes to making reservations to challenge gyms, and you have to call the door.
"Is anyone there? Is anyone here?"
Kashiwagi yelled at the top of his lungs. It wasn't because he was idle, but because there was a sign on the door saying "Can't find anyone, please call twice". There wasn't even a contact number, let alone a machine to book a gym challenge.
Before coming here, I checked the official account on the blog - I found out that it was managed by someone from the alliance, and there weren't even a few short battle videos.
It's like being isolated from the online world.
Is Asha really a young man?
He couldn't help but be a little suspicious, and guessed that it might have something to do with the fact that she had been staying with her grandfather, studying how to cultivate Pokémon every day. After all, her grandfather was a retired Four Heavenly Kings, and it would inevitably be particularly difficult to create achievements that could rival or even surpass those of her elders.
pressure.
It's normal to have little opportunity to understand the Internet, and people only have so much energy.
Kashiwagi was walking in the huge Kamayan Gym, but couldn't see anyone for a long time. Just as he was about to enter a certain room to take a look, an old man with curly hair and gray glasses came out from the corner of the building. He was full of energy.
shouted:
"Someone!"
"...King Mu La?"
he asked subconsciously.
"Well! I haven't heard anyone call me that in decades." Mulla was stunned for a moment.
The so-called replacement of old people with new ones from generation to generation may not have been so easily forgotten by the world in the first few years after taking office, but decades have passed, and I don’t know how many times have been replaced by one term after another.
How many people still remember the fire king Mulla?
Just the neighbors and fellow villagers that we are familiar with.
"Hello, is the owner of Yasha Hall here?"
Kashiwagi smiled and directly explained his purpose of coming, "I'm here to challenge the gym. If I'm not here, I hope you can make an appointment."
However, Mulla waved her hand and said, "No need to make an appointment! Just go to the concave and convex mountain path of Chimney Mountain to find her! She takes her Pokémon to practice there, and she probably won't come down in the next week or two."
"A week or two... no phone?"
"No! I'll let the long-winged gull help you show the way! Go!"
Mulla released the long-winged gull very generously.
This bird Pokémon, which can be seen everywhere along the Hoenn Sea, has a huge beak to facilitate food intake, and a single wing that is one-half larger than the body is also conducive to long-term flight.
The key is that it has good eyesight, so it has the [Sharp Eyes] feature, which makes it easier for it to go to the dock to order French fries.
Now he is being used by Mulla to look for his good granddaughter who goes up the mountain to practice every three days.
Bai Mu looked up at the long-winged gulls circling in the sky, "..."
Practicing on the mountain?
Don’t have a communication device yet?
...These gym leaders all have great personalities.
It seems that you have to go through some twists and turns to obtain the Flame Emblem.
"Thanks."
He bowed slightly to Mulla and moved forward in the direction pointed by the long-winged gull in the air.
And when Kashiwagi was looking for his humanoid mobile badge.
Concave and convex mountain roads.
"Spray flames!"
"Mahgu!"
A beam of fire erupted from the mouth of the magma slime-like Pokémon and violently bombarded the huge rock not far away.
bake!
The surface of the rock turned black and cracked at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then suddenly shattered and disintegrated with a "bang" sound, and countless gravels were scattered on the ground.
"Meg! Well done!"
The young woman with a ponytail that bloomed like a lycoris smiled brightly and approached the lava bug, rubbing her hand back and forth on the latter's head.
It was clear that those two flaming eyebrows were licking the back of her hand, but she seemed not to hear them.
no doubt.
This is Yasha, the leader of the Cauldron Gym who practices hard in the mountains without her mobile phone, and her lava bug nicknamed "Meg".
She is determined to be recognized by her grandfather Mulla and achieve results that rival or even surpass his achievements. She often comes to Chimney Mountain to train and compete with other trainers.
It's a pity that she is still far from her grandfather's level so far.
Pokémon's growth rate isn't as fast as it used to be.
It seems to have entered a bottleneck period.
"Should we really capture new Pokémon?" Asha rubbed her face and lowered her head in thought.
Suddenly.
Far in the distance, a yellow figure flashed past.
She raised her head and then rubbed her eyes, "Dazzled? That's Thunder Lord, right? Meg! Did you see that? The one who ran over just now was Thunder Lord, right?"
"Mahgu..."
The lava bug's tone was a little uncertain. It didn't know what Thunder King was, but there was indeed a yellow thing flying past at the end of its sight. It was definitely a Pokémon.
"--Chase!"
After experiencing a brief tangle, Asha decided to chase after Thunder Lord who disappeared from sight.
Although she is a gym leader who specializes in fire-type Pokémon, there is no conflict in conquering electric-type Pokémon. Her grandfather even had a long-winged gull with water and flying attributes.
The lava worms squirm like lava chasing the trainer's footsteps.
The two quickly followed Lei Gong's footsteps.
As the highest active volcano in the Fengyuan region, Chimney Mountain is 24 kilometers long from north to south and 18 kilometers wide from east to west. It has a circle of almost 120 kilometers and a surrounding area of 250 square kilometers.
The top of the mountain is shrouded in smoke all year round, continuously providing geothermal resources to Fuyan Town and the surrounding area. Akiye Town on the back has extremely lush crops due to the abundant volcanic ash.
Asha is extremely familiar with this mountain. After all, she has lived here since she was a child. Even the original Pokémon Coal Turtle was encountered in Chimney Mountain, so even if Thunder King left first, she would not be lost...
In theory this is the case.
"Lost?"
Yasha looked at the bare red mountain road, confused and a little disbelieving. For some reason, Thunder God's footprints disappeared on the ground, as if they had soared into the sky.
The majestic Chimney Mountain girl can actually follow Pokémon from other areas on her own territory...
Is this reasonable?
"Ah... lost me!"
Asha kept scratching her hair, somewhat annoyed.
If I hadn't discovered Raikou, I wouldn't have felt this way. But I finally saw the legendary Pokémon in a place like this, only to lose it halfway... It was so uncomfortable.
The lava bug glanced at the trainer, and his body turned into a spread evenly spread on the ground to feel it carefully.
"Mahgu!"
It let out a soft cry, as if it had discovered something, and flowed towards something like lava.
Asha's eyes followed the lava bug, and then she discovered that when it "collided" into a rock wall, not only did it not stick to it like mud, but it disappeared.
The next second, the lava bug emerged from the "rock wall" again.
"Ah! Fake wall!"
Asha suddenly understood. She looked at the lava bug and guessed why it could find this false wall. "Is there magma in it?"
"Mahgu!"
The lava bug nodded.
It is a Pokémon that is accustomed to sleeping near lava. It may not be able to search for other things. Finding where there is lava is the most basic instinct.
But then again.
Who built a false wall here, and even attracted Lei Gong to run in.
Asha hesitated for a moment, then got in.
On the one hand, it is out of desire for Thunder Lord, on the other hand, she is curious about what is inside. The gym leader is also responsible for guarding the peace of the town. For ordinary people, she can choose to pretend that she has not seen it, but she must set an example.
Unexpectedly, just as he was about to enter it, a huge figure mixed with cyan and blood rushed out from inside.
Fortunately, she reacted quickly enough and rolled to the side in time to avoid being hit head-on.
When Asha looked up, she found that what rushed out of the cave was a rather majestic-looking Tyrannosaurus. A short-haired girl wearing a black uniform with a Gu Niuniu squatting on her shoulders was standing next to the Tyrannosaurus.
Laughing loudly on the back.
"I'm not the person you want to chase! Give up!"
The voice fell.
"Roar!!"
Thunder God jumped out of the hole, roaring with lightning flashing on his body, and a thick thunderbolt rushed forward, piercing the air and making an ear-exploding explosion!
But such a ferocious thunder and lightning was easily dodged by the manned Tyrannosaurus.
"It's not that I don't mind if you're so fierce -"
The black-haired girl squatted down, revealing half of her spiral anklet. From the corner of her eye, she suddenly spotted Yasha, who was stunned not far away. She couldn't help but feel annoyed, "Oh... Is there anyone related? It seems I can't deal with you."
Have fun fighting. Goodbye, Thunder Lord!"
"Roar!"
The Tyrannosaurus howled, once again dodged a large bolt of lightning, and flew quickly into the distance.
Extremely fast.
Thunder God looked at the black-haired girl and the Tyrannosaurus walking away, and was about to chase after them. He also saw Asha and the lava worms lying on the ground, and suddenly looked at the foot of the mountain, as if he sensed something.
"……Roar!"
It roared in annoyance and jumped away deftly.
Asha came to her senses and hugged the lava bug next to her, "Meg...what happened just now? The red text on that uniform is Team Rocket?"
She turned to look at the fake wall not far away and gasped, "There is a secret base of Team Rocket here!?"
However.
Just when Yasha was about to go in to confirm.
She found her grandfather Mulla's long-winged gull flying from the horizon not far away, followed by a young man appearing not far down the mountain, accompanied by a rather cute happy egg.
"Ah! Challenger!"
Yasha quickly realized the other party's intention, turned her head and glanced at the fake wall, gritted her teeth and did not leave.
Although innocent people should not be involved, what if there are other Rockets inside? We must find out the inside as soon as possible. As for the challenger... we can only let him return to the gym first and wait.
she thought to herself.
When she turned around again, she found that the young man was moving extremely fast, and he arrived in front of her not long after.
——
"Hello, Master Yasha. Did something happen here just now? I think I saw Thunder Lord jump from here?" Kashiwagi greeted politely.
"Ah...um...that's it."
Yasha forced a smile and said, "I'm sorry, are you the challenger? I can't accept the challenge now. Can you please go back to the gym and wait? Hey! You can't touch it there!"
she exclaimed.
However, Kashiwagi had already put his hand into the false wall and confirmed that there was a secret base in this place.
"What's wrong?"
Kashiwagi turned his head and looked at Asha with some confusion.
This woman with a ponytail that explodes like a flame has slanted bangs that occasionally cover her right eye. She wears a navel-baring outfit and bell-bottom pants on a hot day. All her pokeballs are hanging on her lower waist. She doesn’t have a bag or anything, which makes people curious.
How does she solve her eating problem?
"That place is a secret base of a criminal organization and it is very dangerous. I don't recommend that you touch it casually!" Yasha took a deep breath and her tone suddenly calmed down.
"good."
Kashiwagi retracted his hand.
He didn't have the ability to see through the fake wall at a glance, but he could tell there was a ghost here through the Thunder God's paw prints on the ground, and he could reveal the secret if he reached out and tried again.
As for this so-called secret base of a criminal organization...it should belong to Team Lava, right?
He remembered that in the Emerald version, the base of the Lava Team was at Chimney Mountain, and the base outside Shuijing City was completely owned by the Water Fleet.
Raikou comes to cause trouble for Team Lava?
Kashiwagi thought for a moment about the tyrannosaurus that flew out at the beginning. Because it was too far away, he really didn't see who was carrying the hunched back.
"Can you tell me which criminal organization's secret base this is? I want to be more vigilant." He said to Yasha with a smile.
Asha hesitated for a moment, but still told her the results of her observations.
"It's Team Rocket, you may not recognize it..."
"No, I know him."
Kashiwagi was stunned for a moment and then quickly said: "Is it a criminal group that specializes in wreaking havoc in Kanto and Johto? Is this their secret base in the Hoenn region?"
"Well... I saw a person wearing a Rockets uniform break out, and Mr. Lei chased that person away." Yasha nodded and added: "In fact, you may not know that the Rockets have been in the team for three or four years.
I have been doing activities in Fengyuan before."
You mean the Rockets trio?
Kashiwagi remembered that one of Asha's lava bugs evolved into a lava snail during the battle with the Rocket trio.
But he didn't expect that the owner of this secret base was actually Team Rocket...
Wouldn't Thunder Lord have been to Fuyan Town a long time ago?
Suddenly.
Kashiwagi looked at Asha and asked:
"Are you planning to go in alone now? Isn't it dangerous?"
He remembered that this man didn't even have a phone in his hand, so he had no way of informing Miss Junsha and tried to get him to leave. Apparently he was planning to put himself in danger.
"Have you informed Miss Junsha?"
"Woo..."
Yasha stiffened and quietly looked away from him, saying: "Actually, I just went in to take a look, there won't be any big problem. I am the gym leader after all."
Kashiwagi was silent, and after a few seconds, he took out his cell phone and said, "Why don't we inform Miss Junsha and call for reinforcements first? What do you think?"
"..."
Asha remained silent and acquiesced.
Lean less.
Miss Junsha from Fuyan Town brought a large number of police officers to the foot of the mountain to learn about the specific situation with the gym leader Yasha.
Kashiwagi had to leave at this point.
Although he was curious about what was going on inside the base, Miss Junsha would never allow an ordinary person to enter such a dangerous place, so he had no choice but to go down the mountain.
But before leaving, I received a promise from Asha personally that I could have a battle at the Fuyan Gym in the afternoon.
All in all, the trip was not in vain.
And back to the town.
Kashiwagi went straight to the hotel without thinking.
As soon as the door opens.
Outside the floor-to-ceiling window that connects to the outdoor hot spring pool, Lei Gong is still soaking in the pool as before he left, but the towel above his head has disappeared.
He pretended to be suspicious, slowly approached and asked, "Did you go out just now?"
"..."
"I've even seen your thunder and lightning."
"..."
"Looking for Team Rocket's base on Chimney Hill? How did you find that place? Have you been to Fuyan Town before?"
"..."
"Pretend to be serious, right?"
Kashiwagi looked at Lei Gong who never responded, and said: "Why don't you tell me? It's not like I can't help you. Even if you don't have the combat capability, you can do it elsewhere, right?"
Lei Gong opened his mouth slightly and yawned lazily under his expectant gaze.
An expression that says I have nothing to say to you.
Kashiwagi: "..."
Suddenly I feel like beating the cat, what should I do?
