Pokémon, I summon my fists to attack you

It has been in the volcano for such a long time, but it never knew there was a battlefield here?

Xia Bo walked around in circles and finally reached the crater.

Said to Emperor Yan.

Do you think it would be cool to build a battle arena here?

Fighting in the crater?

Yan Di thought about it and then nodded.

That's true.

But with Xia Bo's ability, it will take him a while to build a platform here, right?

"Are you thinking that with my ability, it would take me a while to finish building a platform here?"

Xia Bo said slowly with his back to Emperor Yan.

Emperor Yan: “!”

Exactly!

Xia Bo slowly turned around and looked at Emperor Yan seriously.

He lifted his clothes and hugged Yan Di's thighs.

"I can't do it!"

"Emperor Yan, please! You must help me get out of the entire battle field here!!"

83. I accept your challenge!!!

At noon the next day, the sun was high in the sky, and the scorching sunlight poured down, baking the ground hot.

Xiaozhi and the other two had arrived here early.

However, after waiting for a long time under the scorching sun, there was no sign of Xia Bo.

Misty raised her hand and fanned herself gently, complaining, "Xiaozhi, don't you think we were stood up? After all, that guy doesn't look like a serious person..."

Before he could finish his words, a cheerful voice came from above the three of them: "Oi~ It's not nice to say bad things about others behind their backs."

The three of them looked over when they heard the voice, and it was none other than Xia Bo!

"Hey~"

Xiaoxia stuck out her tongue and knocked her head in an attempt to get away with it.

Xia Bo shook his head helplessly. He couldn't really bother with this little girl.

He raised his hand to wipe the beads of sweat from his forehead and greeted him with a smile.

"Young man, you are really on time."

"Uncle, why did you run ahead of us?"

Xiaozhi directly expressed his doubts. They had been waiting here for an hour in advance, but they didn’t see Xia Bo passing by!

"I'm old, I misremembered the place... I've been waiting for you guys up there for quite a while."

Of course what Xia Bo said was a lie!

The truth was, he had been busy from last night until just now, and had barely finished the battle arena. After realizing he was running out of time, he rushed down in a hurry!

Thinking of the battlefield...

He couldn't wait to see the shocked expressions on the three people's faces!

"Come with me."

Xia Bo didn't want to exchange any more pleasantries, so he waved to Xiaozhi and the other two, indicating that they should follow him.

"Ugh?"

The sharp-eyed teacher Gang noticed a white stain on the back of Xia Bo's clothes.

Just as he was about to warn him, Xiaozhi grabbed him.

He immediately made eye contact with Xiaogang.

Although this uncle is quite uncouth.

But he is a real newcomer with high emotional intelligence!

In this situation...just pretend you didn't see it!

......

Several people walked up the winding path along the volcano.

Soon, Xia Bo brought a few people to the crater.

A narrow stone bridge stretched out in front of them...

Looking along the path, I saw that there was a huge stone platform at the end!

Yes!

In the center of the crater, which was supposed to be empty, a huge rock platform suddenly appeared out of nowhere!

"welcome!"

Xia Bo turned around, opened his arms, faced everyone, and spoke in a crazy tone.

"Come to the battle field of the Red Lotus Gym!!"

Fighting on lava, what gym could be more impressive than the Red Lotus Gym?!

Seeing the shocked expressions on the three people's faces, Xia Bo couldn't help but smile smugly.

After staying up all night, my body feels a lot more relaxed.

This is the effect he wants!

Give the challenger a little gym shock first!

Xia Bo turned around, leaving them with a lonely and arrogant back, and then he was the first to step onto the stone bridge and walked towards the platform.

The three of them calmed themselves down, looked at each other, and followed closely.

Stepping onto the stone bridge, the three of them looked at their feet carefully.

This stone bridge is not formed in one piece, but is made up of many rocks.

Through the cracks in the rocks under your feet, you can clearly see the rolling and boiling magma below. The hot breath hits you in the face, making you shudder!

Xiaogang swallowed his saliva.

Why is it so crudely made and feels unsafe...

I arrived at the platform in fear.

Xiaozhi accidentally stepped on the white line drawn on the field.

Crunch!

Ok?

Xiaozhi lifted his foot.

How sticky...

Xiaozhi spoke without thinking too much.

"Uncle, why is your white line still sticky to my feet? Did you just draw it?"

"Goo!"

Xia Bo coughed lightly, looking a little unnatural, and hurriedly explained.

"How... How is that possible! Look how hot it is here, wouldn't it be normal for it to melt..."

......

Soon, Xiaozhi and Xia Bo stood at the two ends of the volcanic lava arena, staring at each other from a distance.

Xia Bo looked dignified and spoke solemnly.

"Let me make it clear first, Xiaozhi, I won't let you off easy in this battle!"

He is a gym leader with integrity!

Friendship is friendship, but when the real battle comes, he will definitely give it his all and not slack off at all!

"The rules of the match are 1v1!" Xia Bo continued to announce, "However, you have the right to choose your opponent from any Pokémon I own!"

After saying that, Xia Bo threw the Poké Ball casually.

Ninetales, Flamehorn, Arcanine, Infernape, Rhydon...

All of his Pokémon suddenly appeared on the field.

Choose your opponent!

This part seems simple, but it actually contains hidden secrets!

These Pokémon each have unique abilities and characteristics. This step greatly tests the trainer's intelligence gathering ability!

As long as the trainer does his homework in advance and makes targeted choices based on the weaknesses of different Pokémon, the chances of obtaining badges will increase significantly!

Xiaozhi pointed at the Diamondhorn, which had a listless face and the same white stains as Xia Bo on its body.

Isn't this a fire attribute gym?

How come there's a weird thing sneaking in?

This diamond-horned rhinoceros doesn't look like it has fire attribute, right?

"Uncle..." Xiaozhi hesitated to speak.

"Oh, you've chosen so quickly?"

Xia Bo nodded secretly, and couldn't help but look up to Xiao Zhigao in his heart.

As expected of a trainer mentioned by the two kings, it seems he came well prepared!

"...Did you get the wrong Poké Ball?"

Xiaozhi spoke weakly.

Upon hearing this, Xia Bo was stunned at first, then he followed Xiaozhi's gaze and looked at the Rhynohorn.

Ok? !

How come I released the laborers who were building the platform?

Xia Bo quickly took back the rhinoceros, cleared his throat, and repeated it again with pretended calmness.

"The rules of the game are 1v1! However, you have the right to choose your opponent from any Pokémon I own!"

As long as I am not embarrassed, others are embarrassed!

Xiaogang and Xiaoxia looked at each other.

They are not like the careless Xiaozhi, who easily overlooks details.

Thinking back to the white stains on Xia Bo's clothes, the patchwork stone bridge, the appearance of the diamond-horned rhinoceros, Xia Bo's exhausted face, and the sticky lines that looked like they had just been drawn...

All signs indicate that this place was built by you overnight!

Is there any guarantee of safety?

The two looked at the bubbling magma around them, and the more they thought about it, the colder they felt on their backs, and they unconsciously stepped back quietly.

......

Ash's eyes darted back and forth between the four remaining Fire-type Pokémon on the field.

They all seem pretty strong...

But for some reason, I always feel that something is missing...

Ok?

Xiaozhi's iron will moved!
