The lava snail that caused all this appeared to be completely unharmed, and even had the leisure to devour the surrounding flames, as if it was out for a picnic.
"Come back, Duolongqi, you performed very well. This time it was my mistake. I shouldn't have called you out in this place."
Gongsun Yan raised his hand and took Doraemon back. At this time, he was comforting Doraemon in the Poké Ball with a wry smile on his face.
"Beautiful, so beautiful. I never thought that an ordinary Shell Breaking move could be used in such a way. You are worthy of being the former Four Heavenly Kings of Kanto."
After comforting Duolongqi, Gongsun Yan sincerely praised the Lava Snail, which defeated Duolongqi in less than three rounds. He had no choice but to accept it.
Before, Gongsun Yan thought that Xia Bo didn’t know about Pokémon like Doraemon, and would make stupid moves frequently in the absence of information.
In the end, the person who got beaten because of the information gap was him, which Gongsun Yan had not expected.
"Hahaha, stop flattering me. I'm tired of hearing you. If you lose to this trick, you can't blame me at all."
"I'm not bragging. So far, no one has been able to defeat my lava snail without knowing this trick."
Hearing Gongsun Yan's praise, Xia Bo seemed to be indifferent on the surface, but the happiness in his heart completely exposed him.
It was actually quite a coincidence that Xia Bo thought of turning the snail shell behind the lava snail into a big bomb.
It was Honglian Island that held the Summer Festival, and the fireworks display was a standard part of the Summer Festival. The gorgeous fireworks brought together countless young men and women.
But for old man Xia Bo, fireworks displays are something for children to watch, and he is just a porter responsible for moving things.
While moving the fireworks, Xia Bo was surprised to find a peculiar kind of firework. The shape of that firework was a fire-breathing camel, and the muzzle of the firework was exactly the two volcanoes on the back of the fire-breathing camel.
When ordinary people see such peculiarly shaped fireworks, they may just think that the shape of the fireworks is very unique and then look at it for a few more seconds and then move on.
But for someone like Xia Bo who loves Pokémon battles and has a very high IQ, it is an inspiration for new moves and tactics.
ps: The author is back and adjusting his status. He will only update once for the time being.
Chapter 245: The Long-Waiting Old Silver
Anyway, no one knows what Xia Bo was thinking, but he got inspiration from the fireworks of a fire-breathing camel and turned his lava snail into a walking bomb.
The shell on the back of the lava snail is very fragile and has often been broken by opponents in previous battles.
So Xia Bo directly took advantage of this point and let the lava snail stay in the volcano for a long time, constantly accumulating fire energy in the snail shell.
Although the shell of the lava snail can be easily broken from the outside, it is extremely hard on the inside.
Therefore, even though the lava snail compressed a large amount of fire energy in its shell, the shell did not burst, but only became more fragile.
But to be honest, Xia Bo's operation is actually based on the premise that he is a gym trainer, otherwise there is no possibility of completing it at all.
Because once a large amount of fire energy that he cannot control is condensed in the shell of the Lava Snail, he cannot be taken back into the Poké Ball.
Even if it is taken back into the Poké Ball, the Poké Ball may be the first to explode.
After all, as mentioned before, the process of Pokémon entering the Poké Ball is actually simply making the Pokémon smaller and then putting it into the ball.
And those powers that do not belong to the Pokémon itself naturally cannot be reduced.
This is why Pokémon continue to maintain their enhanced moves after being put into the ball.
Since even the strengthening effects of the moves cannot be preserved, how can the huge amount of fire energy in the lava snail shell be absorbed?
Gongsun Yan obviously also noticed this, so he stared with dead fish eyes, silently looking at Xia Bo who was looking smug there.
"Ahem, don't look at me like that. I know this is a little against the rules, but I said that no matter what the result of this battle is, I will give you the badge, so it's not a big deal."
After hearing what Xia Bo said, Gongsun Yan really didn't know how to refute for a moment. After all, what Xia Bo said actually seemed to make some sense.
"Oh, forget it, just consider it as a trick I got."
In the end, Gongsun Yan chose to give up pursuing the matter. After all, it was not a big deal, so he decided to continue the fight.
"Come back, lava snail."
At this moment, Xia Bo actually reached out and took back the lava snail that had just won, leaving Gongsun Yan a little confused.
You have to know that although Xia Bo acted a bit recklessly just now, no matter what gym it is, there is definitely a rule that gym trainers are not allowed to replace Pokémon, otherwise the Pokémon that was taken back will be regarded as losing its combat ability.
"What's wrong? Is it strange? Although the lava snail looks fine now, he actually has no ability to fight anymore."
After seeing Gongsun Yan's strange look, Xia Bo explained with a smile.
"Okay, let's have a good fight. I'll use my trump card, and you can release that one."
After putting away the Lava Snail's Poké Ball, Xia Bo's eyes suddenly ignited with flames, and he stared at the purple Master Ball on Yulongyan's waist.
"It seems like you have been prepared for a long time, but I don't think you can use it in this place."
Gongsun Yan's right hand unconsciously grasped the Master Ball containing Emperor Yan. He barely suppressed his surging fighting spirit and reminded Xia Bo.
"Don't worry about that. I have already prepared the venue."
Xia Bo walked straight to the rock wall on the side. He slapped a random place with his right hand, and the rock wall that was originally tightly closed opened instantly, revealing an elevator.
"Huh? Fingerprint control? There's such an advanced thing?"
"No, as long as it's a person and you take a picture of the right place, that's fine."
Gongsun Yan originally thought that this was a fingerprint elevator, but he didn't expect that it was simply hidden. This made him choke for some reason.
But this was enough to surprise Gongsun Yan. You know, this is on the top of the magma, and there is actually an elevator running stably.
"I developed this elevator myself. Although it has no promotional value, it is still very good if used."
It was not until then that Gongsun Yan remembered that Xia Bo in front of him was not only one of the four heavenly kings in the Kanto region, but also a well-known scientist.
It’s just that Xia Bo’s scientific research talent has not been shown much in this world. Xia Bo in other worlds even participated in the entire process of creating Mewtwo.
But a lean camel is bigger than a horse. With Xia Bo's ability, it's just a piece of cake to build an elevator that can run on the top of the magma.
There is nothing much to say about what happened afterwards. Gongsun Yan and Xia Bo got on the elevator together and headed towards the new battle venue.
It is worth mentioning that Xia Bo’s elevator is very strange. At the beginning, it did not move up or down, but moved backwards.
After the elevator moves to a certain position, it suddenly rises. It is indeed a bit novel, but the novelty is not that great.
However, after all this trouble, Gongsun Yan had already guessed where the battle venue they were going to was.
You don't even have to think about the direction specifically, just guess the moving distance and you'll know the battle is definitely on the volcano.
And this is indeed the case. When Gongsun Yan and Xia Bo walked out of the elevator, what caught their eyes was a huge crater.
Above this crater, there are not only stone pillars of various sizes, but also a standard battlefield.
Gongsun Yan felt that this place looked familiar as soon as he saw it. After a closer look, he realized that this was the crater where Xiaozhi and Xia Bo had their final battle.
"Hey, why did you come to me just now? I've been waiting here for a long time."
At this time, a voice came from the rock wall beside him. Gongsun Yan looked in the direction of the voice and found that the person who had just spoken was Lao Yin whom he had met before.
Gongsun Yan was not surprised to see Lao Yin here, because Xia Bo had told him before that some people might come to watch his gym battle and asked for Gongsun Yan's opinion.
Gongsun Yan naturally agreed. He was a little surprised that he hadn't seen anyone downstairs of the hotel before. It turned out that someone had been waiting here for a long time.
"My speed is already fast enough. Do you think this guy is easy to deal with? If I hadn't cheated, there would still be a lot of fighting."
Xia Bo angrily retorted to Lao Yin. The previous battle seemed to have a huge disparity, but it was entirely because Duo Longqi or Gongsun Yan was careless.
In terms of strength alone, Doronqi and Lava Snail are about the same.
Chapter 246: I Can't Find My State
If Gongsun Yan's Duolongqi was better at special attacks, if the battle environment was changed to a place with many shadows, if Gongsun Yan had guessed earlier...
Unfortunately, there are no "ifs" in this world. Pokémon battles not only depend on the strength of the Pokémon, but also on how much information the trainer has.
Okay, let’s not think about what has happened anymore and focus on the next battle.
"Okay, just watch the rest of the battle carefully. I hope it will give you some inspiration for tomorrow's battle."
"By the way, Xiaoyan, come tomorrow too, and see if this guy can create a miracle. This guy has been chasing Moltres for decades, and finally there is a glimmer of hope."
Xia Bo scolded Lao Yin a few words in a bad mood, and then invited Gongsun Yan to come tomorrow to witness Lao Yin's historic moment.
Whether or not Gin defeats Moltres in the end and gains Moltres' recognition, it will be a big deal.
"Of course, I will come, but can I bring Liliae with me?"
Gongsun Yan naturally agreed readily. After all, both he and Xiaozhi were cheaters, and their methods of taming the legendary beasts were not very reliable for reference.
Now that he has finally found an opportunity to watch the normal taming of the divine beast, Gongsun Yan will naturally not give up.
However, he also put forward his own request, which was to bring Liliae to see it together. After all, it is good to broaden one's horizons.
"Hahaha, of course you can. It's good to have a girl here. It will save Lao Yin from crying bitterly after his failure tomorrow. After all, he still has some dignity."
"You're talking nonsense. How could I possibly cry? Only someone like you likes to cry so much."
It can be seen that Xia Bo and Lao Yin have a very good relationship, otherwise they would not mock each other like this, and neither of them is really angry.
"Okay, okay, I won't waste my time talking to you, Xiaoyan, let's get started."
As Xia Bo said this, Gongsun Yan suddenly felt that the surrounding environment became hot.
The battle site is on the crater of a volcano, which is already very hot, but Gongsun Yan can actually feel the heat. It can be seen that the Pokémon that will appear next is definitely not ordinary.
"Goooooooo~"
The magma around the battlefield suddenly began to fluctuate, as if a creature was rising in the magma and was about to appear in front of everyone.
"Gah~"
Suddenly, a slightly large duck-billed fire beast jumped out of the lava and slammed heavily in the center of the venue. The lava hanging on its body was slowly sliding to the ground.
"A platypus? That's not surprising to me."
After seeing this huge duck-billed fire beast, Gongsun Yan was not surprised at all. After all, he knew that Xia Bo's trump card back then was a duck-billed fire beast, so it was normal for it to evolve now.
However, the original Platypus could become Xia Bo's trump card. Now that it has evolved into Platypus, its strength must have undergone a drastic change.
"This guy is an old friend of mine. After I resigned from the position of the Four Heavenly Kings and came to Honglian Island to open a gym, he did not stop training. He was not at a disadvantage against the Entei."
Looking at Xia Bo's confident look, Yu Longyan opened his mouth, seemed to be about to say something, and finally decided to say nothing and threw the Master Ball in his hand.
"boom!"
Compared to the grand appearance of the duck-billed fire beast, the appearance of the Flame Emperor seemed so simple. Not only did he not make any roars, but the surrounding magma did not even churn.
But the sharp-eyed Lao Yin immediately discovered that the originally violent crater suddenly seemed calm, and even the flowing magma became "slow".
This is the ability that Yan Di has. Although he cannot control any volcano in the world as easily as Groudon, he can still control the volcano under his feet.
Although Yan Emperor claimed to be born from a volcanic eruption, and when he roared, his roar might cause a volcano to erupt somewhere.
But Entei himself actually doesn't like volcanic eruptions, because he is subordinate to Ho-oh, and one of his duties is to rescue Pokémon that encounter accidents.
Once the surrounding volcanoes erupt, Entei will have to run over to rescue those Pokémon.
Over time, Yan Emperor also felt a little bored, so once he got close to a volcano, he would subconsciously control the volcano to prevent it from erupting and increasing his workload.
Of course, the most eye-catching thing now is not whether the volcano has calmed down, but the strength of Yan Di, which is undoubtedly at the champion level.
With the appearance of Emperor Yan, the previously invincible duck-billed fire beast instantly wilted and even couldn't help but shrink back.
There is no way. Although the current strength of the Platypus Flame Beast is already top-notch among the King-level, it is still far behind the Champion-level Flame Emperor.
In addition, Infernape is just an ordinary Pokémon, while Entei is a real legendary Pokémon.
As a result, the duck-billed flame beast was not only inferior to the Flame Emperor in strength, but also in status. It was indeed a bit tragic.
Of course, with the bond between Xia Bo and the Duck-billed Flame Beast, even at such a disadvantage, the Duck-billed Flame Beast dared to step forward and fight with the Flame Emperor.
"What? Has this Entei already taken that step?"
After seeing Emperor Yan, Xia Bo was also a little bit unbelievable. In fact, it had not been long since he last saw Emperor Yan.
Originally, he thought that Yan Di was still at the king level, so even if his duck-billed fire beast was defeated, he could still put up a good fight.
As a result, now that things have turned out like this, we should no longer think about how to play a good game, but how to hold out longer under the command of Emperor Yan.
"Uh, something happened, but don't worry, I'll let Entei control it a bit."
Gongsun Yan seemed a little embarrassed, so he told Emperor Yan directly that he would let him hold back.
As for why Entei’s strength increased so greatly in such a short period of time, just think about Suicune back then and you will understand.
In fact, Xia Bo was a bit unlucky. If the gym battle had started yesterday, Yan Di would still be at the peak of the king level, and his strength would not have changed significantly.
