He knows Pokémon better than me

Mu La, the fire attribute king of Zeng Jin, spent the first half of his life diligently guarding the Fuyan Gym, and served as the alliance king for the Fangyuan Alliance in the second half of his life. It can be said that he has been working for the government all his life.

Mulla, who is now retired, doesn't want to touch Pokémon battles at all.

If it weren't for worrying that her granddaughter would not be able to support herself, Mulla would have followed the old grandparents in the town for a self-driving tour for the elderly.

"Asha, then this gymnasium will be handed over to you."

Mu La patted her granddaughter on the shoulder, and when she uttered these words, she felt even more relieved, and felt refreshed and relaxed all over her body.

Well, although the strength is still a bit weak... But Yasha is still young, and her strength will always improve little by little.

In the future, although he doesn't say that he can become the king of the alliance like himself, at least it is not a big problem to be a powerful gym trainer.

"As for your challenge, young man, it is impossible for me to accept..."

Mu La turned to look at Xiao Zhi.

At this moment, the Pokémon on his body have all retired, and he only has one Pyrobeast for emergency use.

These words immediately made Xiao Zhi frown.

But Mulla quickly looked at the coal turtle next to him.

One has the same sunlight characteristics as Gulardo, and the future is promising.

As he said, Mu La took out a piece of fiery red ore from his bosom, and placed it in the hollow of the coal turtle's shell just like that.

"Then this fiery rock will be given to you as a gift."

This is a special rock that Mulla found from Chimney Mountain... Pokémon that carry this kind of prop, whether it is the special sunshine or the active sunny move, the number of rounds that the weather lasts will increase a lot.

Hearing this, Xiaozhi soon forgot the trouble of not being able to fight, and patted the shell of the coal turtle with a happy expression.

"Wow, then you can come out and have a sunny day in the future, and then go back!"

Only then did he know why the Coal Turtle was also called Little Gulardo in the illustrated book, which originally referred to the characteristic of sunshine.

"Hmph, as long as we continue to become stronger, Gulardo will be called Little Coal Turtle in the future!"

Xiaozhi shouted quite arrogantly.

"Wu...?"

It's just that the coal turtle tilted its head, almost crying outright.

In this way, is this to be completely regarded as a sunny tool man?

"hehe..."

But Mu La next to him quickly calmed Xiao Zhi's excitement.

After all, this is the Fangyuan area. To say that Gulardo is a small coal turtle is the greatest humiliation to the God of the Earth.

Maybe when Xiaozhi walks to Chimney Mountain later, because of the resentment of Earth Volcano, the volcano will directly erupt and die suddenly on the spot...

...

The next day, after a good rest in Fuyan Town, the three of Xiaozhi set out on the road again.

At this moment, the three of them returned to the position they had entered the town before. Since the three sides of Fuyan Town were dead ends, they had no choice but to go back the same way.

Yasha followed the guests all the way.

Although her face is still visible to the naked eye, she expresses her strong dissatisfaction with Xiaozhi's one-handed and three-handed behavior.

"Oh~"

Xiaozhi just turned his head away, pretending not to see it.

It wasn't until several people came to the Flame Trail that Yasha continued to speak:

"You have obtained four badges now...then the next gymnasium should go to the Chenghua gymnasium in Chenghua City."

This gym is the only gym in the entire Fangyuan area that has a challenger's personal requirements...that is, the challenger must obtain at least four badges to be eligible for the challenge.

Although there is no obvious east-west division in the Fangyuan area, there is still a sea in the middle, and the remaining three gymnasiums are all in the eastern area of ​​the sea.

"Then you return to Zijin City the same way, and then head west to Luyin Town. The Kalu Tunnel there has been opened, and you can take a shortcut and return to Orange City."

Yasha retaliated with virtue and kindly showed the way for the three of them.

Hearing this, Xiaozhi's eyes were fixed, and he made a gesture to cross the path of flames in front of him again.

Buzz...!

Only at this time, Xiaozhi's backpack suddenly began to vibrate inexplicably.

Xiaozhi: "?"

There shouldn't be any elf eggs in his bag, right?

Xiaozhi quickly opened the backpack and poured out all the contents.

Everyone was curious, and even Yasha surrounded him without realizing it.

Among several devices and props, the source of the vibration was actually a conical orange-yellow scale.

It is more like a complete round scale, but it is broken and divided into conical fragments with pointed ends.

"I remember that this is a dragon scale given by King Genji...?"

Xiaozhi put the things back into the bag, and grabbed the fragmented dragon scale in his hand, his palm trembled slightly.

"Heavenly King Genji?"

Yasha next to him was stunned, how could this guy know other heavenly kings?

My grandfather and Genji are considered to be the kings of the same period. Yasha has met the latter once before. He is a tough captain and looks more domineering than his grandfather.

"It seems that Mr. Genji said at the time that this is a token of Meteor Falls...?"

Xiao Gang also remembered something, recalled.

It seems that this is close to Meteor Falls, so did the dragon scale token respond?

Is it so supernatural?

Yasha didn't know about the token, but she still knew Meteor Falls.

"Meteor Falls, then you have to go north, bypass Chimney Mountain and head west all the way to a huge cave..."

This prevents you from walking the inner Flame Trail, and instead walks directly from the surface of Chimney Hill.

But speaking of it, this road can actually reach Chenghua City... It is equivalent to a small circle and a big circle.

"Okay, since that's the case, let's go to Meteor Falls!"

With a fixed gaze, Xiaozhi held the dragon scale tightly in his hand, and immediately changed the way forward.

He remembered that Genji, the king of heaven, mentioned that there are many powerful dragon-type Pokémon living in the depths of Meteor Falls... so he can catch one too!

So the three bid farewell to Asha, and instead of entering the entrance of the Flame Path, they walked toward the stone steps extending northward beside the entrance.

It seems that this road is to climb directly over half of Chimney Hill.

...

...

Chimney Hillside.

The climbing speed of the three of Xiaozhi is not fast, but there are man-made stairs along the way, so there is no need to climb up with bare hands.

"Hey, I knew I would have taken the cable car directly...!!"

Xiaolan couldn't help but speak.

The aerial cable car passing over the heads of the three from time to time made several people envious.

This cable car track seems to only connect the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, without any station in between... and the starting point is at the other end of the Flame Trail, and the few of them can only watch helplessly at this moment.

"But the temperature here is really strange..."

Xiao Gang touched his chin and said with emotion.

On the contrary, the temperature on the surface of Chimney Mountain is much lower than that of the surrounding area, which is only "normally hot".

Well, it seems that because Gulardo has been away for too long, the temperature around the volcano is completely messed up and irregular.
