Uncle Xia frowned. What this picture book said was completely different from his state of mind. It was simply humiliating himself. His face suddenly became ugly.
"Didi. Just say it casually, don't take your seat."
The illustrated book also expressed its position and issued a well-intentioned reminder.
Xiaozhi and the other three also quickly started assisting the illustrated book and looked at Uncle Xia with smiles.
"Haha, it just makes fun of it casually, don't worry about it."
"No one should be in a hurry, right?"
"How could someone be anxious? Doesn't being anxious mean they admit it? Hehe."
Xia Bo: "..."
In the end, he could only wave his hands. Although he was a little sad, the economy of Honglian Island seemed to have improved a lot in recent years. He could not stop the villagers and could only demolish his own gym.
Express silent protest.
Although in fact, his intention to simply change to another gym is actually stronger.
Because he found a location more suitable for fighting fire-type Pokémon.
"So are you coming to challenge the Red Lotus Gym? If you haven't obtained more than 6 badges, you can't challenge this Gym yet."
Returning to the topic, Xia Bo's face became serious.
Red Lotus Gym is not like those gyms where water can be released casually. Even if water is released, it is very difficult and may leave a psychological shadow on new trainers, so this rule is set.
"Some, some."
Xiaozhi quickly turned over his vest jacket, revealing 6 badges arranged neatly inside.
"Oh~ not bad."
Xia Bo took a closer look at Xiaozhi. He had six badges, and the golden and pink badges were quite difficult. Judging from his age and appearance, he was probably a trainer who had just started traveling. This performance was already really good.
Then he turned his back and walked to one side.
"Now that the badge requirements have been met, I, Uncle Xia, have officially accepted your challenge. As for the battle venue... We will meet here again at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning, and I will take you to the real Red Lotus Gym."
After saying that, Xia Bo's figure disappeared in front of the three people, with the air of a mysterious master.
"Hey, Xiaozhi, didn't you tell him about the volcano eruption?"
"Don't worry, wait until I defeat him. This will be more convincing!"
All Xiaozhi could think about was tomorrow's battle, and his heart became extremely hot, like a volcano beneath his feet. He wished he could find something to vent on the spot.
Powerful fire attribute expert?
Then let’s think carefully about tomorrow’s lineup.
The three of them left the Red Lotus Gym and found a nearby hot spring hotel. After eating and drinking, they even went to take a dip in the famous local volcanic open-air hot spring to relax themselves on the eve of the battle...
"Kami Turtle, the volcanic hot springs here can help you master a very special skill among the water attribute skills "boiling water", please understand it well."
"Kami?"
...
...
The next day, it was less than 9 o'clock in the morning.
In front of the broken Red Lotus Gym, Xiaozhi and the others had arrived early, full of energy and fighting spirit.
When the time came to 9 o'clock, Xia Bo also arrived as promised. The only difference from yesterday was that today Xia Bo was no longer wearing a hippie's fancy clothes, but rather serious academic researcher clothes, and even wore a
White coat.
Although he still wears a pair of inexplicable round sunglasses on his face.
Xiaozhi often sees this outfit on Dr. Oak.
"Researcher at the Red Lotus Research Institute."
The three of them suddenly remembered the name of Xia Bo's other identity in yesterday's illustrated book, secretly thinking that it was indeed a illustrated book, and everything could be predicted.
"Young man, you are in good condition today."
Xia Bo touched his beard and said hello with a smile.
Fire attribute trainers, no matter how gentle they are, will still be infected by the scorching flames when facing a battle, and their hearts will become hot.
A week has passed since Xia Bo's last battle. Although the last trainer obtained 6 badges, his strength was average and could not fully satisfy him.
"Follow me, boys."
Xia Bo led the three of them to a corner of the ruins of the Red Lotus Gym, and pressed against a certain ruins. It seemed that some mechanism had been touched, and the ruins began to tremble. After a while, an additional person appeared.
A cave-like entrance.
The floor of the cave is an artificial staircase corridor, and there are torches standing a few meters apart on the cave walls to provide light sources.
A scorching heat wave hit their faces from it, making their noses slightly hot.
The three of them didn't realize it, so they stretched out their heads and looked into the depths of the cave. They were straight and couldn't see the end.
The three of them looked outside again, looking in the corresponding direction outside the cave, and their pupils suddenly shrank.
"This is..."
At the end of the cave is the volcano standing on Honglian Island.
Is this a cave path leading deep into a volcano!?
Seeing the three people looking shocked, Xia Bo thought they were scared, so he explained with a smile:
"Haha, it is indeed deep inside the volcano, but don't worry. Experts from Nibi City came to explore it a few years ago. This volcano will not erupt for at least 50 years."
Xiaozhi and three others: "..."
Then he saw Xiaozhi and the other two looking at him blankly, as if they were mentally retarded.
Xia Bo: "?"
...
Because they planned to explain it after the game, Xiaozhi and the other three didn't say much, and soon they and Xia Bo entered the volcanic cave path.
As soon as we entered, the temperature rose sharply and became extremely hot.
"By the way, I forgot to tell you. When you get to your destination later, remember there are some taboos you cannot say."
Xia Bo thought of something and suddenly turned his head and reminded.
This is not a taboo set by him or some human being, nor is it a taboo on the Honglian Island volcano alone, but a natural taboo word in all volcanic craters in various regions of the world, which carries the power of the natural world.
We are still on the path of the volcano, so there is no big problem. Once we reach the depths of the volcano, we won’t be able to say those few words.
"Oh, I know!"
Xiaogang couldn't help but interrupt. He still had some knowledge in this regard.
When facing volcanic lava, there are a few words that must not be said. Although volcanic lava is a dead thing, there is a god similar to the god of volcanoes behind it, silently guarding all the volcanoes on this planet.
It can be said that these taboos are actually taboos for the aloof volcano god.
"It's fake... How could anything happen if you just say it casually?"
Feeling the seriousness of the two people's voices, Xiaozhi said without comment.
"I would rather believe that something exists than something that doesn't exist."
Xia Bo cautiously said that we must have the most basic respect for nature.
It is said that a city in the Fangyuan region surrounded by the ocean was buried deep under the sea because it violated a taboo by disrespecting the gods in the crater.
"The first taboo word is, "cannot fly". It is said that every time "cannot fly" is said to the crater, the volcanic lava will rise 1 centimeter."
Xiaozhi: "?"
"The second taboo word is, "There really is a god who can't fly." This punishment will be stronger, and the altitude of the lava will directly rise by 1 meter!"
Xiaozhi: "?"
"And the third taboo word is the most dangerous. It is said that if a human shouts this sentence ten times in front of the volcanic lava, the volcano that has been extinct for hundreds of years will erupt on the spot, wiping out all life. This sentence is..."
Xia Bo's tone dropped and he shouted:
"Little Coal Turtle!"
After saying that, he carefully looked at the path of the surrounding volcanoes and found nothing out of the ordinary before he dared to move on.
Coal Turtle is a unique Pokémon in the Fangyuan region. Because of this taboo, many experts and scholars now believe that it may be inextricably related to the God of Volcanoes.
Some senior researchers have put forward a very bold hypothesis.
The god of volcanoes is the little coal turtle!
As long as the Coal Turtle Pokémon egg is soaked in volcanic lava for 49 days, then this little Coal Turtle will most likely become the legendary volcano god on the day it is born!
In fact, this hypothetical research has already achieved great results. It only needs one most critical step to realize it. However, this most critical step has never been able to break through.
"How to avoid being instantly baked into a poached egg when putting the egg into the lava in the first step?"
Xiaozhi: "?"
This volcano god, and these people who study the volcano god.
