Pokémon: The Climb

As the distance got closer, Yang Yan couldn't help but believe a little bit that the island in front of him was actually a volcanic island.

The first and most important thing was that he faintly smelled a strange smell.

He judged that it might be the smell of sulfur, but it was too light and mixed with the salty sea breeze, so it was not obvious.

The second is that the towering mountain peak is dark, neither green nor gray and rugged. This special appearance is indeed in line with the characteristics of a volcano.

And as Yang Yan officially flew to the island, he could also feel that the surrounding temperature seemed to be getting higher.

With all these things, as a Fengyuan native, Yang Yan would be really embarrassed if he still couldn't be sure that this was a volcanic island.

"Charizard, fly higher, let's go directly to the top of the mountain!"

Charizard nodded to express receipt, then turned to the sky and went all the way up.

If he hadn't been on a mission, Yang Yan would have wanted to go out and explore.

Although volcanoes are dangerous, there are often some goodies nearby that can't be found anywhere else.

In addition, volcanoes are also places where fire-type Pokémon appear.

In fact, the types of fire-type Pokémon are also ranked at the bottom among the 18 attributes, and most of them are from the three families in various places.

If we exclude the Yusan family and the Wind Speed ​​Dog clan, which is monopolized by the Junsha clan, there will really not be many fire Pokémon that we can encounter in the wild.

The most common one is the fire elf that evolved from the evolution stone.

The only other common ones are probably Heiluga, which does not have high requirements for living environment.

Other Pokémon that are slightly more common, such as Nine-Tails, Charmander, Fire-breathing Camel, and Coal Turtle, are only slightly more common.

They are picky about the environment.

So despite the fact that fire is one of the attributes of the Yusan family, and it is also an attribute that many trainers like, most people really don't have a fire Pokémon.

Yang Yan likes fire type very much, so now he is looking forward to meeting some interesting fire type Pokémon on the volcano.

"I don't know if there is a chance to meet a fire element with qualifications above the excellent level..."

Although Yang Yan knew that the possibility was low, it did not prevent him from looking forward to it.

"There is no smoke coming out. It seems that this may be an extinct volcano..."

Yang Yan was now very close to the top of the mountain. From this distance, he did not see any obvious dust or black smoke rising, which was a symbol of an extinct volcano.

But whether it is true or not, after all, you still have to see it with your own eyes.

There are three types of volcanoes: an active volcano that may erupt at any time, an extinct volcano that has completely dried up, and a dormant volcano in between.

Dormant volcanoes, as the name suggests, are temporarily dormant volcanoes, but they generally stay dormant for a long time and may erupt in the future.

In fact, Yang Yan only needs to make sure that this is not an active volcano. Whether it is a dormant volcano or an extinct volcano, it means that it is not dangerous, at least it is very likely that it will not be dangerous in the short term.

In this case, you can consider establishing a transfer station here.

The reason why Yang Yan didn't go back was not only because he wanted to make a real confirmation, but more importantly, this was his first real contact with a volcano.

It's driven by curiosity.

"It looks like there's a coal turtle there...is that a lava bug there?"

As Charizard flew up, Yang Yan caught a glimpse of some Pokémon in his eyes, but the speed was too fast, and he could only see a rough outline.

After another while, the fire-breathing dragon finally flew to the top.

"Luckily, it's a dormant volcano!"

Yang Yan lowered his head and looked down. There was no sign of a large amount of magma flowing at the bottom of the volcano diagonally below. Instead, most of it had solidified and turned dark.

This means that the degree of dormancy of this dormant volcano is quite high and the danger is very small.

Yang Yan went to take out a gas mask that he didn't know when to store and put it on.

"Charizard, go down and take a look, fly slower this time!"

Charizard understood and slowly descended along the rock.

As a fire-type Pokémon, Charizard, Yangyan doesn't have to worry about it not being able to adapt here.

But he himself is different. In addition to preventing poisoning, he also needs to pay attention to high temperatures.

That's why Yang Yan asked Charizard to descend more slowly.

Even if it is a dormant volcano, the temperature inside is still very high.

Yang Yan can further judge the degree of dormancy of the volcano by sensing temperature changes.

The height of this volcano is about 500 meters. When it dropped about 200 meters, Yang Yan said: "Okay, let's go back!"

Although the temperature here is not yet at the limit of his endurance, there is no need to go down any further.

First of all, he found that there was no foothold at the bottom. Secondly, he did not take complete heat insulation measures. Once an accident occurred, the consequences would be disastrous.

He was not willing to risk his own life.

And the most important thing is that once he is attacked, all he can rely on is a few fire-type Pokémon in his hands.

Although their strength is elite level, who can guarantee that they can protect Yang Yan?

After safely returning to the top of the volcano, Yang Yan took out his mobile phone and took a series of photos to record the situation here so that he could report to Zhen Lao when he returned.

Then he released several fire Pokémon and began to explore downward while protecting himself.

Even if they are both of the fire type, not all Pokémon can survive in volcanoes or at the bottom of magma. Most of them either live at the bottom of volcanoes or on the walls of volcanoes.

This is mainly for the convenience of finding food. After all, they can't survive by eating rocks and drinking lava, right? Still need to rely on the dense forest in the distance.

Perhaps it was for this reason that Yang Yan didn't encounter a single Pokémon while walking down.

However, he still thought that those Pokémon were afraid of the four elites and hid them in advance.

Until he was about to reach the bottom of the volcano and gave up hope.

suddenly,

The flame chicken seemed to sense something, raised his right foot and stomped down hard!

Skill: Earthquake!

Yang Yan was also confused by the Flame Chicken's move, and was so shocked that he almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, the flaming horse next to him had relatively stable hooves and provided him with support.

At this time, the Flame Chicken again involuntarily aimed at Yang Yan's right hand and punched it, causing a big hole in the ground.

The Flame Chicken raised his hand and pulled again, and a Pokémon was pulled out from under the ground just like that!

"Molten Ant Beast?!"

Yang Yan immediately saw that this was an ant-melting beast that specialized in preying on iron ants!

The most distinctive feature of this Pokémon is its long tongue of fire. The temperature of the tongue of fire is so high that even Iron Ant, a Steel Pokémon, cannot withstand its armor, which shows how powerful it is.

This Molten Ant Beast, which was eliminated by the Flame Chicken three times and five times, obviously had the idea of ​​​​attacking Yang Yan from underground. This is also a common trick of Pokémon like them, but they never thought of taking one step before they succeeded. was discovered.

"It's so thrilling. If the flame chicken's waveguide power hadn't been improved to a higher level, I might not have been able to detect the approach of the molten ant beast so quickly!"

The power of waveguide, yyds!
