Wang Yao's Pokémon Journey

Xiao Feng immediately used the trainer's exclusive combat skills.

……

"Yeah—I win!"

Xiao Feng jumped up happily on the spot.

"...Thank you, Diya Sea Lion!"

Xiao Feng quickly ran to the center of the field, hugged the hard-won Emperor Sea Lion and expressed his gratitude.

"What a hard-working Pokémon... You've raised them well!"

Xia Bo took back the Flame Horse that had lost its strength and praised Xiao Feng and her Diya Sea Lion.

In the three battles against Xiaofeng, the Pokémon used by Xia Bo were Growlithe, Flareon, and finally Flametongue.

Judging from the overall strength - Wang Yao always felt that this old man was letting the opponent down...

The first match against Growlithe was okay. Although he was hit by the paralysis powder of Furball, he still won the first victory by relying on the attribute restraint of Spark and Flame Wheel...

However, because it fell into a paralyzed state, Growlithe was defeated unscathed by Feng's Golduck.

Flareon's performance was a bit funny... He used his ultimate fire skill [Flash Charge] on Golduck right from the start - and missed!

Then he was disarmed by Goduck's [Immobilization Technique]!

Without his ultimate move, the only King can only use moves like [Lightning Flash], [High Speed ​​Star] and [Flame Fang] to perform scraping techniques...

After finally wearing down Golduck's strength, it was still taken away by a water cannon.

The performance of the last flaming horse was quite remarkable...

First, a [Super Horn Attack] instantly killed Xiao Feng's Golduck, and then he fought with the Emperor Sea Lion with the [Thick Fat] characteristic for three hundred rounds!

Unfortunately, he lost in the end due to lack of endurance...

In the competition between Flame Charge and Mountain Pressure, Flame Horse still fell under the fat body of Emperor Sea Lion.

……

"Alas... I gave away two badges in one day. I'm getting less and less useful as I get older..."

"Come on, I'll take you to get the Crimson Badge."

Xia Bo sighed and walked towards the exit.

"Don't say that. I think you are still very young, old man!"

Xiao Feng almost called Xia Bo "grandpa" again...even though the other person was almost old enough to be his grandfather.

"Dumb tape - still strong despite old age~ still strong despite old age~"

Wang Yao raised his arms like bull horns and spoke carelessly.

"What kind of comforting words are you saying?"

Xiao Feng said somewhat speechlessly.

“Hahahaha – it seems like being among young people will make you younger in mentality!”

Xia Bo smiled and said.

The moment they walked out of the gym inside the volcano and arrived at the backyard, they immediately felt much more refreshed.

Although the underground space is equipped with ventilation devices, the temperature and smell inside the volcano are really not suitable for staying there for a long time.

"——This is the Crimson Badge!"

Xia Bo took out two flame-shaped badges from the drawer of the TV cabinet and handed them to Wang Yao and Xiao Feng.

"Isn't it a bit too hasty to put it in a place like this..."

"Yeah...Isn't this a very important badge?"

Wang Yao and Xiao Feng complained at the same time.

"As the saying goes - great people hide in the city! Who would have thought that the badge was not in the important treasure box, but was placed in the TV cabinet by me?"

Xia Bo, on the other hand, looked very confident.

"?"

Wang Yao and Xiao Feng looked at each other, their eyes full of doubt - is this really what Xia Bo thought?

"Hey! Why are you asking so many questions? If you want to take a hot spring bath, please do so. I have to send my Pokémon to the Pokémon Center to recover its strength later..."

Xia Bo couldn't hold it any longer and planned to leave first.

"Ah--thank you very much!"

Xiao Feng was very happy to have free natural hot spring bathing.

However, even though Xia Bo was not on guard against them, the two of them still planned to go to the Pokémon Center with Xia Bo to find Joey to treat the Pokémon in their hands.

Besides, we’ve already soaked in the hot spring in their backyard…it wouldn’t be too much to have dinner with the old man at the same time, right?

Since we've already had dinner...it makes sense to vacate two more rooms and stay overnight~

Chapter 85 Hot Springs! and the Ink Seahorse!

"I never thought that Grandpa Xia Bo is also a barbecue master~"

"It makes sense that he is the master of a fire gym and is good at barbecue."

After dinner, Wang Yao and Xiao Feng chatted while soaking in the hot spring in Xia Bo's backyard, separated by a wooden wall.

Since it was a rare occasion for guests to come to the house, Xia Bo made a super large portion of grilled beef ribs for dinner to entertain the two of them.

When trimming the ribs, the scraps are cut into bite-sized pieces and skewered together for grilling.

Even though he hasn't cooked for a long time, Xia Bo's barbecue dishes are still well controlled in terms of heat and seasoning.

His barbecue skills are not inferior to Wang Yao's, and are even more sophisticated.

However, as people get older, their energy levels do decline dramatically. After dinner, Xia Bo went upstairs early to rest.

Wang Yao and Xiao Feng were left alone in the backyard enjoying the hot spring.

"—raise the pliers higher."

"Guji~"

Swish—!

Swish—!

Wang Yao used a large wire brush to clean the giant crab's shell.

Because the crab claws are too heavy, the giant crab is unable to clean the attachments on its shell by itself.

"This side is also fine... Whew! This is so tiring."

Wang Yao fetched a bucket of hot spring water and poured it on the crab shells to rinse off the dirt and debris rubbed off the crab shells.

"Octopus barrel—you come and help polish it."

Wang Yao wiped his sweat and handed the work over to the octopus bucket master.

"Woo~~"

The eight tentacles of the octopus barrel are very flexible. They have just helped the Scaredy and Arbok maintain their shells and scales. Now it is finally the turn of the Giant Claw Crab.

The towel coated with polishing cream is stretched back and forth by four tentacles and pulled back and forth quickly on the crab shell, so that even the various grooves can be quickly polished to a shine.

"Huh~ the temperature is just right..."

Wang Yao immersed his entire body in the hot spring pool.

Wow…

There was the sound of water coming from the other side of the wooden wall.

"I feel so sleepy all of a sudden - Ayao, I'm going to rest first!"

Xiao Feng walked out of the hot spring pool. She was already feeling a little sleepy.

"Well... I'll stay a little longer."

Wang Yao squinted his eyes and replied lazily.

After a while, the sound of a door closing was heard upstairs, and Wang Yaocai slowly opened his eyes.

"Octopus Bucket, go and put away the wooden wall."

Because the hot spring pool in Xia Bo's backyard is an integrated one, with only a removable wooden wall in the middle. After it is removed, it turns back into a large pool with a radius of ten meters.

And once Xiao Feng leaves, Wang Yao can release the Zapdos.

It wasn't that he was afraid of being seen...it was just a bit difficult to explain.

The Zapdos appeared directly in the pool, and the extra volume caused a lot of hot spring water to overflow, which then flowed away through the drain in the courtyard.

"Fuwu~"

The lightning bird chirped softly and stretched its wings on the spot.

Because the pool was only about one meter deep, most of the Zapdos' body was above the water.

But at this time, the Zapdos no longer had the airs of a divine bird in front of Wang Yao.

After getting out of the ball, he leaned against the pool wall like Wang Yao, with his wings stretched out in the water.

The three-meter-long yellow bird had only its head and part of its belly exposed above the water.

But the water in the pool overflowed again.

"Fu~~"

Zapdos made a relieved twang.

After more than a month of recovery, the hair on its head has grown several centimeters in length.

Of course, all this is thanks to the [Pokémon Hair Repair Potion] that Wang Yao bought at the cost of debt!

It’s definitely not because of natural growth!

After all, considering the long lifespan of Zapdos, its hair growth should be extremely slow.

Right!

At least that's what Zapdos thinks...

So is Wang Yao.

If there is any misjudgment, it is all because of Dr. Tamba, a hair care expert, who went wrong in his research on Pokémon hair regeneration!

It has nothing to do with Wang Yao.

……

After washing the Zapdos and praising the magic of the hair repair potion...it was almost time for Wang Yao to go to bed.

"Oh~~ Another fulfilling and tiring day..."

Wang Yao stretched, dried himself, put on a bathrobe, and went back to his room to sleep.

"Coward—wake me up at seven-thirty."

"Guji~"

As usual, Wang Yao set the alarm, wrapped himself in the quilt and fell asleep.

……

"Are you leaving now?"

Xia Bo stood at the door to see Wang Yao and Xiao Feng off.

He still misses the feeling of being with young people.

"I'm going to Vermilion City to continue my gym challenge..."

Wang Yao's route had already been decided.

Previously, his team couldn't defeat Gym Master Ma Zhishi's Raichu due to their attributes... This is also one of the reasons why he took a detour through the Diglett Cave.
