My Pokémon will evolve into an ancient Mega

However, only first place will receive a qualifying badge.

So Miss Joy can only regretfully wait for the next time.

……

After leaving.

Xiaoxia sighed, "Oh, that's true. Let me tell you, Xiaozhi can't get it at all."

"Hmph, if I collect eight badges immediately, I will still be eligible to participate!" Xiaozhi said unwillingly.

"By the way, Takumi, you are now qualified to compete, do you still want to go to Red Lotus Island?" Lillie asked.

"Go, there's nothing to do anyway. It's good to challenge the gym and get more exercise." Takumi said calmly, "Besides, the Red Lotus Gym is the strongest gym in Kanto. It would be a shame not to go there. .”

"Then let's set off together, Takumi! We're also going to Red Lotus Island!"

Xiaozhi said happily.

Afterwards, everyone bid farewell to Archer and went to the port to board the cruise ship to Honglian Island.

During this period, the strength of Takumi’s friends is as follows:

There are too few slots in the leveling room, so friends can only take turns.

Leveling room: Gengar (level 80), Diamond Rock Snake (level 79), Kirby (level 69)

The current ecological park has been constructed, all nine areas have been opened, and the harvest of thousands of acres of fertile land has begun.

The eating problem of Kirbymon, a loser, has been completely solved.

生态园：喷火龙（75级）、大针蜂（93级）、闪光哥达鸭（80级）、超古代快龙（290级）、变异毒刺水母（127级）、梦幻（350级沉睡中）、化石翼龙（76级）。

The ones currently used for training, cultivation and battle are Bi Diao (level 83), Big Rock Snake (level 70), and Crossed Bat (level 74).

……

"I'm really looking forward to it. I heard that Red Lotus Island is a holy land for trainers. I wonder if there will be many battles!"

On the cruise ship, Xiaozhi said excitedly.

"Yes, because of the existence of Red Lotus Gym, many trainers go there to challenge in order to prove their strength." Xiaogang agreed.

"Don't you ever pay attention to real-time information? How long ago did that happen..."

Familiar taunting sounds came from behind several people.

Look back.

It turned out to be Xiaomao, the rich second generation.

However, this guy changed into casual clothes and was followed by a group of girlfriends. He looked like a noble man on vacation and not at all like a trainer who went out to practice.

"Xiao Mao, why are you dressed like this? If you practice too relaxedly, you won't get eight badges." Xiao Zhi looked at Xiao Mao's beach pants, floral shirt, and sun hat.

"Do you think everyone is the same as you? I have already obtained eight badges." Xiao Mao said proudly, "As for why I am dressed like this, you will know when you come and take a look."

Hearing this, a few people walked over and looked at the swimming pool on the lower level. It was like having a pool party.

"These people...are all trainers?" Xiaozhi asked in surprise.

"That's right, there is no gym on Honglian Island now. Everyone just goes there to travel and soak in hot springs to relax from the tension before the game." Xiao Mao explained.

"What?! There's no gym anymore?!" Xiaozhi was suddenly surprised.

"Yeah, I wonder if someone still has time to collect all the badges. Don't even be qualified to participate in the competition by then, hahahaha." Xiao Mao left with a proud smile.

"This annoying guy is so abominable!" Xiaozhi said angrily.

"Xiao Zhi, if there is no gym on Red Lotus Island, you must quickly re-plan the challenge plan." Xiao Gang reminded.

"No, the Red Lotus Gym is still there, it just takes some time to find it." Takumi interrupted.

"really?"

"I want to challenge you too, why are you lying to me?"

"Huh~ Yes, then I believe you, Takumi."

The idiot was relieved not to have to re-plan, which was great.

The next day, the cruise ship arrived at the port of Honglian Island.

Honglian Island is actually a volcanic island.

The island's volcanic hot springs are famous throughout the Kanto region.

This has also led to the development of tourism.

Whether they are trainers or ordinary people, many people come here every year.

Let places that were originally inaccessible and barren become rich.

Various industries have gradually developed, turning this place into a resort second only to Rampurchi City.

Before everyone even landed on the island, they heard melodious music playing.

It relaxes people's nervous and tired mood.

"It's so lively~" Lillie and Xiaoxia said in surprise.

"It's exactly what Xiaomao said. Everyone is here to have fun." Xiaozhi said.

"Alas, the once coveted sacred place for trainers has disappeared." Xiaogang said with emotion.

"Let's look around first. We're already here, why not have some fun?" Takumi suggested.

"Let's go try the food on Red Lotus Island! What do you think?" Lillie immediately suggested.

Xiaoxia was the first to agree.

It just so happens that this time is the peak tourist season.

So a few people were looking for the location of the Red Lotus Gym while playing.

Although Takumi knew through memory, in the original work, Xia Bo closed the gym and became a hot spring hotel owner.

But if you don't show up for two years, what will happen to those trainers who come to challenge without knowing it?

The most important thing is that the news of the cancellation of the Red Lotus Gym is based on folklore.

The Pokémon League Headquarters did not issue any relevant announcements.

If the museum is not opened for two years, the alliance will not care?

I wonder if there is something involved?

Several people walked on the street, eating and drinking together.

Silly thing, this guy also has ice cream in his left hand and octopus balls in his right hand. His mouth is full and he completely forgot about finding the gym.

Lillie and Xiaoxia bought a lot of souvenirs.

Finally, several people came to a dilapidated house.

The paint on the four words "Red Lotus Gym" on the door has peeled off.

The mottled walls are covered with various vines and moss.

"This...is it really the Red Lotus Gym?" Xiaozhi took a sip of the ice cream in disbelief.

"The name is correct, but it looks like it has been abandoned for at least several years..." Xiaogang said.

"Forget it, the gym doesn't matter. Anyway, the badge is on the gym leader's body, and it's not in the gym. Just find Gym Leader Xia Bo." Takumi said casually.

"Then where should we find Xia Bo?"

Lillie forked an octopus ball and handed it to Takumi's mouth.

(≥o≤)

Chew~

Takumi opened his mouth to eat the meatball and glanced at the corner calmly, "Don't worry, let's find a hotel to settle down first."

There were a lot of footprints on the wall, and they were very new.

Someone must have climbed over the wall to get inside recently.

Although he didn't know who these people were, he was sure that they were definitely not Xia Bo!

"The head is ice cold, what is the thing that warms the body?"

At this time, a voice came.

Several people turned around and saw an old man with long blond hair and sunglasses appearing behind them.
