Wang Yao's Pokémon Journey

"It's not easy... It's really not easy..."

Xia Bo took out a small analyzer from somewhere and put it on his right eye.

"The detector can't even scan the specific alloy composition... It seems that further research is needed in the laboratory..."

"…The first characteristic is its excellent resistance to fire? And how about its defense against water-attribute energy?"

Xia Bo took out a small knife made of the same special alloy and tried to scrape some steel chips off the giant steel snake.

"No need to research anything more - Professor Oak's report will probably be published soon!"

Wang Yao interrupted Xia Bo's research enthusiasm.

"What—Damu!? You actually handed over such valuable research materials to that old guy!"

Maybe because he usually wears a wig, Xia Bo seems to have forgotten that his real age is a few years older than Oki Yukinari...

"Well! Anyway, we've almost finished all the research that needs to be done... Let's get back to the point and start the Pokémon battle..."

Wang Yao hesitated for half a second and did not choose to complain about Xia Bo's age.

"Hey... Really - that guy gets all the good stuff!"

Xia Bo put away the detector and knife somewhat dejectedly and walked back to the other end of the venue.

"Although your physical fitness as a steel snake is definitely far superior to that of its peers... I will not give in just like that!"

Xia Bo cheered up and encouraged his duck-billed fire dragon with a few words.

"Being bigger doesn't necessarily mean you win - Rathalos, use Big Word Explosion!"

The opponent's body is not in the venue, and the duck-billed fire dragon can only use long-range skills to attack the opponent.

As the owner of the gym, Xia Bo does not want to actively break the rules of the game... Since the battle venue is restricted, the winner will be decided on the field.

"Don't worry about those weak flames! Let's attack directly - sharp stone attack!"

Anyway, with Steelix's size and movements, it can't escape the range of the huge explosion... Wang Yao felt that shouting like this would make it seem more imposing!

boom--!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh——!

The next second after the huge flame explosion hit Steelix's body, several sharp stones condensed in mid-air and smashed towards the Rathalos on the field one after another.

Bang——boom!

The extremely compressed flame exploded!

Steelix was knocked back, but because the area around the venue was not large, he quickly regained his balance by the edge of the lava pool.

"Jump up! Then use the Rocket Hammer!"

Of course Xia Bo didn't dare to order the duck-billed fire dragon to take it head-on like Wang Yao did...

If the sharp stone attack hits, the duck-billed fire dragon will be in trouble!

"call--!"

The duck-billed fire dragon can jump from the lava pool to the battle platform, so its jumping ability is naturally not bad.

After jumping up to avoid the attack of the sharp rocks, the two tumors on the head of the Rathalos glowed, and it completed charging in mid-air, and then rushed towards the head of the Steelix!

"——Use the Iron Head trick to push back!

Isn't it just a competition of who is more stubborn?

In this regard, Steelix will not lose!

boom--!

The tumorous head hit the iron head with a crisp sound!

"call……"

The duck-billed fire dragon was knocked back by the force of the collision and fell to the ground in a daze.

"Huwu..."

The duck-billed fire dragon felt like there were little stars in front of his eyes...

But Steelix just shook his head and was not hurt.

"Don't stop—keep using the iron head!"

Wang Yao would not miss such a good opportunity to attack.

"Duck-billed Fire Dragon! Get out of the way!"

Fortunately, Xia Bo's reminder was timely, and the duck-billed fire dragon stood up from the ground with a somersault.

"Ew!"

The shovel-shaped jaw of Steelix was constantly raised and smashed down... like playing whack-a-mole, smashing towards the Rathalos on the battle platform!

"call--!"

"call……"

The power of Steelix's attack was too terrifying, and Infernape was exhausted and couldn't make any effective counterattack.

After all, the opponent's head is as tall as two Charmeleons stacked together... and as a steel-type Pokémon, it has overcome its weakness of being afraid of fire...

“…Get out of the way!”

Xia Bo tried several times to make the duck-billed fire dragon fight back, but unfortunately it was ineffective. No matter whether it was spraying flames or exploding with fire, it had no effect on the opponent.

"Who is this kid...?"

Xia Bo wiped the sweat from his head and thought to himself that something was wrong.

"Steeljack... As the evolved form of Onix - could this be the secret technique that the Dark Gray Gym has mastered?!"

Xia Bo suddenly remembered what Wang Yao said when he entered the room.

boom--!

The duck-billed fire dragon once again avoided the opponent's brutal attack.

Helpless, Xia Bo could only let the Rathalos continue to escape - trying to consume Steelix's physical strength.

With this comparison - it's as if Steelix has become the defending gym leader Pokémon, and he and Charmeleon are the challengers!

"——Use Rock Slide to restrict the opponent's movement!"

Wang Yao doesn't want to play duck hunting anymore...

boom!Boom!

Huge rocks gathered in the air and then fell onto the ground!

As the boulders continued to accumulate, the available space on the field gradually became smaller, and the duck-billed fire dragon was finally trapped by several boulders...

"Ew!"

The shovel head, as big as a bulldozer, was coming towards him with great momentum, and the duck-billed fire dragon was caught in a dilemma!

"call--!"

Stretching out its claws to face its opponent, the duck-billed fire dragon can only make one last attempt.

Chapter 84 Xiaofeng's gym challenge! The final chapter with Honglian gym!

“——Block it!”

Xia Bo shouted - although he already knew the ending, the fighting spirit of the Fire Pokémon will only be boosted if it fights until the last moment!

"call!"

The duck-billed fire dragon's eyes became firm again.

boom--!

However, the iron head charged with a tremendous force, instantly bending the duck-billed fire dragon's knees and arms...

Even though it had unleashed its full strength, the duck-billed fire dragon could only block it for a moment.

The huge gap in size and strength cannot be made up by fighting spirit alone.

The follow-up impact of Steelix's iron head attack sent Rathalos flying like a tennis ball...

Bang! Crack!

The unconscious body hit the rock wall inside the volcano, and the rock wall behind him made a slight crackling sound.

"Come back, duck-billed fire dragon!"

Xia Bo sighed lightly and retracted the duck-billed fire dragon.

"You did a great job..."

After comforting the unconscious duck-billed fire dragon, Xia Bo walked towards the center of the venue.

"Come back, big steel snake!"

Wang Yao also took back the Pokémon and began the honor awarding process.

"It's a rare opportunity to stretch these old bones..."

Xia Bo said with some sigh.

"As proof of your passing of the Red Lotus Gym - I will give you this crimson badge... Hey, where's my badge?"

Xia Bo reached into his arms...but he only pulled out a few small things like door keys, coins, and tie clips...

"Oh - I forgot! Because no one has come to challenge the gym in such a long time, I put away all the badges...haha...haha!"

Xia Bo put one hand behind his head and smiled awkwardly.

"Oh my god - I'm still waiting so seriously..."

Wang Yao's straight back collapsed instantly.

"Anyway, I'll get it for you later..."

Xia Bo said with a hint of apology.

"——that little girl over there!"

"Do you want to continue with the second game? I still have spare Pokémon!"

Xia Bo turned his head slightly and shouted to Xiao Feng who was outside the venue.

"Well... I'll just give it a try..."

After watching Wang Yao's game, Xiao Feng felt that he still had some chances.

"So you have a second duck-billed dragon, old man?"

Wang Yao stood on the platform and looked down curiously, trying to find the second Pokémon hidden in the lava.

"The situation of the duck-billed fire dragon is special... I didn't capture the second one either..."

"…I'm going to send out these three."

Xia Bo took out three new Poké Balls from his arms and hung them around his waist.

……

Wang Yao and Xia Bo walked out of the venue to make room for Xiao Feng's gym match.

"My first contestant—that's it!"

"Go! Katie Dogg!"

Xia Bo's first Pokémon was Grunt, Junsa's good partner.

"Karti Dog? Then I'll leave the first game to you - Furball!"

Xiao Feng only has three Pokémon in total, and the opponent in the first game is usually slightly weaker... At least Maoqiu still has a chance to attack.

"Catti! Spark attack!"

Xia Bo launched the attack first.

"Get out of the way quickly—and then use the paralysis powder!"
