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

After a few drinks, Xia Bo got to the point:

"Gym Master Li Xuan, have you ever heard of the legendary bird Pokémon?"

Chapter 63: Nazzi Calls

"Gym Master Li Xuan, have you ever heard of the legendary bird Pokémon?"

Xia Bo's fingertips tapped the table rhythmically, his eyes swept over Li Xuan, noticing the changes in his facial expression.

"I've heard of the three sacred birds of the Kanto region. Zapdos, Articuno, and Moltres. These three are legendary Pokémon."

Li Xuan nodded slightly.

These three Pokémon are widely known in the Kanto region and are almost household names, even more famous than Ho-Oh and Lugia.

Even the Pokémon Center in Viridian City and the Battle Club in Golden City have murals of them, which is enough to show how famous they are.

"I once saw one of these when I was in danger while climbing a mountain."

Xia Bo took a sip of sake and poured a glass for Li Xuan: "It was Moltres who saved me at that time, and that is why I am determined to train Fire Pokémon."

"Master Xia Bo, congratulations."

Li Xuan drank the sake in one gulp, met Xia Bo's gaze, and smiled softly: "Legendary Pokémon are rarely seen in a century. You were actually saved by Moltres. This is not something that ordinary trainers can do."

"It's all just the past, not worth mentioning."

Xia Bo waved his hand, his serious gaze fixed on little Riolu who was secretly drinking sake.

In a trance, Xia Bo seemed to see something.

He took off his sunglasses, rubbed his eyes, blinked, and then continued to stare at little Riolu.

Unfortunately, I didn’t see anything.

"Ugh……"

Xia Bo sighed, then began to explain: "Master Li Xuan, I'm not telling you this to show off."

He carefully considered his words and spoke slowly, "So-called legendary Pokémon are beings that can already influence the environment. While some people rank legendary Pokémon online, each one is a force to be reckoned with."

"For example, Moltres may look similar to Charizard in attributes, but only when you get up close do you realize how terrifying the other is."

Xia Bo's expression was solemn, and with the help of alcohol, he recalled the scene of encountering Moltres many years ago.

"Just flapping my wings can raise the temperature, and changing the weather is just a piece of cake..."

"So, do you understand what I'm saying?"

After finishing his thoughts, Xia Bo did not say it explicitly, but asked Li Xuan if he understood the implication.

In his opinion, all "opportunities", apart from a small part of luck, still depend on one's own understanding to achieve a series of "coincidences" and ultimately reap a lot.

"I wonder, Master Xia Bo, do you think Articuno is nearby?"

Li Xuan poured a glass of sake and gently placed it in front of Xia Bo: "With Moltres as the opening remark, coupled with the recent situation in Honglian Town, I really can't think of any suitable Pokémon in the Kanto region except Articuno."

"Well, when the islanders went to a nearby island to fish, they saw a blurry, beautiful figure entering Gemini Island.

A long time ago, there were rumors that Articuno liked to live on the Gemini Islands.

It's one of the few places in the Kanto region where ice-type Pokémon live, and it certainly fits their habitat."

Xia Bo placed his hands on the table, resting them on his chin, and said in a serious tone, "However, we cannot confirm whether it is Articuno. If it is indeed the other party, judging by the legendary strength, it is probably not weaker than the main force of the gym."

Li Xuan didn't say anything, but stroked little Riolu's head and fell into deep thought.

If you can capture Articuno, the main force of your team will definitely be replenished.

If someone complains at that time, they can bring up the four kings: Yulongdu, Kikuko, Shiba, and Kona.

When they first became the Elite Four, the Pokémon they possessed could only match 3 attributes at most.

Not to mention Daye in the neighboring Sinnoh region.

Although he was the king of fire, his team originally included long-eared rabbits, wind balls, and even a big steel snake.

So Li Xuan felt that if he could really subdue the other party, it would be reasonable to put him into the team.

At worst, you can learn a rock-breaking trick, and when asked, just say you learned it from Daye next door.

Aligado, big-leaf mulberry.

"Young man, you should think carefully about this. This is just a rumor that hasn't been released to the public. It's just for fun."

Xia Bo stroked his beard and spoke in a gentle tone.

Li Xuan looked up, a smile on his face. "Master Xia Bo, thank you for the news. I was just wondering how I'd beat Master Sakaki. If I could really subdue him, wouldn't my chances of winning the Gym Championship be much higher?"

"That's true."

Xia Bo nodded heavily.

With a legend, the team's strength will naturally increase dramatically.

It's true that Sakaki is quite capable, but if the opponent hides their weakness and doesn't send out their main force, they might really be defeated...

Thinking of this, Xia Bo looked at Li Xuan again.

He found that the other party was eager to try, even as if Articuno was already in his pocket.

"Don't blame me for speaking so bluntly."

Xia Bo coughed lightly and reminded him, "An ordinary person might not even encounter a legend in their entire life. This journey might be a waste of time. Even so, do you still want to go?"

"Of course. Besides being a Gym Leader, I'm also a Trainer. I have to seize the opportunity to encounter a Legend."

Li Xuan doesn't think of himself as an ordinary person. Moreover, he has the power of wave guidance, so he just needs to search for the strongest one in the Gemini Island.

Ultimately, it's a 50% probability.

Either you don't have it, or you encounter it.

It's that simple.

Xia Bo laughed in silence and shook his head helplessly, thinking to himself that it was indeed so.

Young people are brave and fearless, and they will fight to the death.

"That's perfect. I'm going to Gemini Island tomorrow too. I'll take you and that little sister with me tomorrow."

Xia Bo took the initiative to take on the job of driver and invited Li Xuan.

"Then I'll trouble you, Master Xia Bo."

Li Xuan glanced at the time and found that it was already nine o'clock in the evening: "It's getting late, I will go back to the guest room to rest first, and see Master Xia Bo tomorrow."

"Well, see you tomorrow young man."

……

Return to the room.

Xiao Lan, who was curled up in the quilt, raised her head and looked at Li Xuan who was taking off his shoes.

"Hey, you're drinking so late, have you had dinner yet?"

Xiao Lan got up, smelled the alcohol on Li Xuan, and pinched her nose.

"I had a quick bite at the Pokémon Center. Remember to wear warm clothes tomorrow because we're going to the Twin Islands."

Li Xuan reminded him, then he checked his phone and posted the video of his battle with Xia Bo online.

Jingle bell~

At the same time that the video review was passed, Naz called.

Li Xuan raised his eyebrows when he saw the incoming call.

This was the first time that Naz called me, and I didn't know what it was about.

After answering the phone, the first sentence Nazi said was:

"When will you return to Golden City?"

Chapter 64: Honglian Town is going to be bombed?

"When will you return to Golden City?"

Nazi's questioning voice came from the other end of the phone.

Li Xuan rubbed his brows and calculated the time.

The phone was silent and Nazi did not interrupt.

After half a minute, Li Xuan replied, "If it's fast, it will take about a day or two."

"it is good."

Nazi's cold words penetrated Li Xuan's ears.

Seeing that the other party only replied with one word, Li Xuan asked, "Why did you call me suddenly? Did something happen at the dojo?"

"Nothing, I just heard the prosecutor will be here soon. If you haven't come back by then, I have to tell them in advance."

Naz explained calmly, as if she was talking about something ordinary.

She closed her eyes, as if sensing something, and added, "It seems like a guest is coming."

"Okay, if I'm not back by then, I'll trouble you."

Li Xuan thanked him.

beep...

The only response I got was the busy tone of the phone being hung up.

……

In the fighting arena in Jinhuang City.

"Abby..."

Kuai Quanlang held up one hand and aimed it at Yongjila in front of him, with fire burning on the tip of his fist.
