Elf: Starting as the Fighting Gym Master, and being entangled by Nancy.

Chapter 169 Lambda: I told you to just do it
"No need, let's get down to business."

Li Xuan waved his hand to politely decline Lance's kindness, while looking at the other party carefully with a frown.

Noticing Li Xuan's expression, Lance seemed to have expected it and calmly pulled over a chair and sat down.

He took a neatly folded map from his desk drawer and slowly unfolded it on the table between the two of them.

This is a map of the Kanto region.

It was a detailed topographic map of the Kanto region, covered with markings of various colors.

The location of the unmanned power plant is circled in red, with the detailed date and time marked next to it.

Now it's marked with a black X.

There is a blue wavy line drawn around the Twin Islands, and several key points are marked with asterisks.

But it was also marked with an X.

There is also a place called Champion Road, which is guarded by the Alliance and was marked with a red exclamation mark in the previous issue.

Without thinking too much, you will know that this is the location of the three sacred birds.

The most eye-catching is the southern waters.

Dozens of small islands were marked with eye-catching "X"s with black marker, connected together like an invisible net.

On the central island of the connected "X", the symbols of four birds occupy the four directions of east, west, south and north respectively.

"Master Li Xuan, this is the sincerity of our Rocket Team."

Lance folded the map and placed it in Li Xuan's hand: "I think you should know how important this information is, right?"

"Well, you Team Rocket are very sincere."

Li Xuan put the map into his bag and looked at Lance. "So, what do you Team Rocket want from me? Zapdos, Articuno?"

"Or... do you want a fighting dojo?"

"Master Li Xuan, I don't think it's a good idea to pretend to be dumb in this situation."

Lance narrowed his eyes and tapped the table with his fingertips, making a dull "dong dong dong" sound.

His tone was as fierce as that of an Arbok waiting for an opportunity, and a sense of crisis spread.

"I know, this will liven up the atmosphere."

Li Xuan had a harmless smile on his face and leaned forward slightly: "So, my answer is..."

"Cha-oh!"

Before he finished speaking, the Flamingo beside Li Xuan suddenly jumped up!
Its chicken claws suddenly clenched into fists, and a raging fire erupted without warning. The hot fist wind directly blew Lance's navy cap off.

The flaming fist was only millimeters away from the tip of his nose, and the high temperature even singed a few strands of green hair on his forehead!

Lance's pupils constricted, and the chair behind him made a harsh friction sound as it quickly retreated!
"Nido!"

The luxurious ball on Lance's waist suddenly bounced open, and a blue afterimage flashed.

Nidoqueen's huge body blocked the front like a city wall, and the swirling water vortex between her claws collided with the flaming fist with a loud bang!
Waves of water!

boom! ! !
The white smoke from the explosion instantly filled the entire room.

When the smoke cleared a little, one could see twisted streams of water still lingering between Nidoqueen's claws, dripping onto the ground and forming puddles.

Its thick arms were charred, but it did not retreat a single step.

Flammel staggered back two steps, its chest feathers soaked by the water, and only a few wisps of green smoke remained of the originally burning foot flames.

It shook its head, and water dripped from its beak, but the fighting spirit in its eyes did not diminish in the slightest.

Then, the Flamingo's right claw twitched involuntarily.

Just this one strike was enough to reveal the opponent's strength level.

King level!
Furthermore, the characteristic is forced! "Li Xuan, why are you doing this? Wouldn't it be better to just cooperate with our Rockets team honestly?"

"Why do I have to become a League Trainer? Is this path so easy? Profits will tell the whole story!"

Lance still wanted to recruit Li Xuan, but the other party's attitude and behavior were really hard for him to understand.

He straightened his collar, which had been ruffled by the blows of the fist, and his tone gradually became serious:
"Whatever the Alliance can give you, we'll give you double. Whatever the Alliance can't give, we can still give you. Why bother sticking to those ridiculous rules? Or... do you really believe the Alliance's high-sounding words?"

"Yes, if I join the Rockets, I will get a lot of benefits in a short period of time. However, this is not the way I want."

Li Xuan shrugged, flicked away the nonexistent dust, and chuckled, "If you love money, you should earn it in a proper way. I wouldn't even look at illegal ways of making money like this."

"The smell of money obtained through illegal activities like this makes me sick to my stomach."

Li Xuan made no secret of his dislike for the Rockets.

Faced with Lance's sincerity, he also responded with the most normal thoughts.

They are all from the bottom of my heart, without any lies.

"People with different ideals cannot work together. I think we can end this conversation now. Let's see who's the winner."

As Li Xuan finished speaking, Lance shouted coldly, "Don't think your Blaziken is invincible. You're unlucky to run into my Nidoqueen!"

"Nido!"

Nidoqueen's thick hind legs suddenly kicked the ground, and the entire floor shattered.

The earth-brown energy covered the entire body like armor, and it turned into an out-of-control chariot of fortune and crushed over, leaving its own mark on the ground with every step!

"Spray flames!"

"Cha-oh!"

Flamelon didn't retreat but advanced, its chest heaving violently as a pillar of golden-white fire gushed out of its beak, colliding head-on with Nidoqueen who had released 100,000 horsepower!

Rumble!
The explosion was deafening. The two powerful forces were in a stalemate, and neither could do anything to the other in a short period of time.

Nidoqueen's charge suddenly froze, her sturdy arms trembling violently in the flames.

The ground energy covering the whole body was like a candle in the wind, flickering under the high temperature.

The Flamingo also created this effect by opening its beak to its maximum. The energy transfer reached its limit, but it could only achieve a stalemate balance with the opponent.

"Is this guy's Pokémon really that weird? Even 100,000 horsepower can't work..."

"This Nidoqueen has something in her hand. She was able to withstand this fire attack without retreating."

Lance and Li Xuan have different ideas.

The former really thought that Li Xuan had extraordinary talent and could actually cultivate such a powerful Blaziken.

And according to Lambda, this guy still has a lot of good Pokémon, but they are difficult to arrest.

As for Li Xuan, his idea was very simple.

Being able to block Blaziken's moves means that Lance must have put some effort into training Nidoqueen.

Otherwise, he would be killed in one move.

"Haha, I told you Li Xuan is not a trustworthy person, and now you're sending the information out."

Lambda's filthy voice came from the door.

He came after Li Xuan entered the room.

Just to see Lance’s frustrated look!

"It's always better to hold it in once."

Lambda patted Lance on the shoulder and gave him a thumbs up.
