Pokémon: I'm a detective, not the sixth one.

"The temperature down there is so high. Just standing here makes me feel like I'm suffocating."

Awang, who was wearing tight-fitting casual clothes, stood at the crater of the volcano, looking at the hot magma below and sighing with emotion.

Boo agreed, then looked back at Lance.

"Second brother, how do we get in? Should we just break in?"

"Don't worry yet." Lance smiled slightly and reached out to wipe the sweat from his brothers' foreheads.

"I will lure the Flame Bird out later, and then go directly to the Red Lotus Research Institute to hold down Uncle Xia. You can take the opportunity to deal with it as soon as possible."

"Okay." Awang and Xiaobu nodded in unison.

However, the next moment, an old man's laughter suddenly came from behind them.

"Hey! No need to bother! Why go all the way to the research institute?"

Upon hearing this voice, Lance's face suddenly fell, and he turned back to glare at the bald old man walking slowly and a magic wall puppet beside him.

"Oh? It seems that Senior Xia Bo has already taken precautions. Disrespectful."

"Hahaha..." Xia Bo laughed happily, "Interesting, young people today are so interesting!"

Seeing Uncle Xia's relaxed look, Xiaobu felt that he was being underestimated, and immediately took a step forward unhappily.

"You old man, you still have the heart to laugh?!"

As he said that, he took out a few elf balls and was about to launch a strong attack on the spot!

But Xia Bo waved his hand with a smile on his face.

"Oh, kid, don't be impatient! Why are you so anxious?"

"The reason why I laugh is because I just thought of a great riddle! How about it? Do you want to guess it? If you get the answer right, I will help you! But if you get the answer wrong, you will have to accept my punishment. !”

After hearing this, Awang and Xiaobu were stunned for a moment, while Lance silently observed the surrounding environment and confirmed that there were no other helpers around Xia Bo.

Mr. Xia didn't care what the other party's opinion was, and just started describing.

"Listen up, the riddle is: 'Half more than two'! Guess one word!"

Xiao Bu originally had no intention of responding to Xia Bo, but when he heard that the question was so simple and the other party promised that he would be successful if he answered correctly, he was immediately eager to give it a try!

Uncle Xia should have heard his side of the conversation just now, but he was still willing to fulfill his wish. Is there any reason not to do such a cheap deal?

"The answer is 'three'! Right?!"

Xiao Bu expressed his opinion loudly, but Xia Bo shook his head regretfully.

Awang frowned and didn't understand where Xiaobu went wrong.

"It's half more than two, isn't it three? Could it be Ba??"

Xia Bo remained unmoved and turned his attention to Lance with a smile.

The latter's eyes were cold, and he knew that Xia Bo was making fun of his brothers.

"I didn't expect that at your age, you still like to play this kind of word game."

Hearing Lance's cold tone, Xia Bo smiled even more happily.

"Haha! Staying childlike means keeping youth and vitality!" After saying that, Xia Bo suddenly changed his expression and stared at Lance with evil eyes.

"It's your turn. You haven't said the answer yet."

Lance snorted coldly and protected Awang and Xiaobu behind him.

"The answer is 'death', which is more than, two, and more. Take half for each. Mr. Xia Bo, you said before that if you answer correctly, it will help us. I don't know if it will help us take away the flame bird, or it will help us take away this 'death' Character?"

"What do you think?" Xia Bo smiled with a distorted face, and his whole person seemed to be excited!

Awang and Xiaobu were frightened by his momentum, but Lance always stood in front of them, and the two quickly adjusted their mentality!

Somehow, they had never taken this old man seriously before, thinking that as long as the second brother took action, the Flame Bird would definitely be in the possession of the two brothers! But now, standing in front of the old man, the two brothers felt uncertain!

Especially when Lance said the answer and Xia Bo instantly showed his extremely excited eyes!

This old man is not simple! And he seems to be a lunatic at heart! !

"There is only this chance. He will definitely improve the defense of Red Lotus Island in the future!" Lance frowned tightly and had already made up his mind!

"No need to think too much, you go find the Flame Bird, I will deal with him!"

"it is good!"

After Lance deployed the operation, he sent out Nidoking and Iron Claw Lobster! These are the two main forces to deal with Xia Bo's fire elves, and Lancer deliberately brought them with him before taking action!

On the other side, Awang and Xiaobu turned around and ran away, preparing to go straight down to the depths and bomb the flame birds out of the magma!

However, just as they were about to take action, they found that their legs were tied up. After running a few steps, they could no longer move forward!

"what happened?!"

The two boys turned around in surprise, trying to find out the reason for being blocked. The next moment, a Mega Gengar with a smirk on his face was tilting his head evilly behind them!

"Huh?!" Lance noticed something strange about his brothers and planned to step forward to support him, but he was locked tightly by a figure as fast as lightning, and he could only deal with it in a hurry!

"Oh, since you have already issued a letter of challenge, there is no reason to be distracted..."

The figure before was none other than Xia Bo's ace Wind Speed ​​Dog!

It used its incredible speed and pushed Lance's Nidoking away with all its strength!

After the blow, the Iron Claw Lobster next to Nido King wanted to fight back, but the Wind Speed ​​Dog left the battlefield first and returned to Xia Bo's side!

In the blink of an eye, Mega Gengar also started follow-up actions. It rushed straight towards Lance, as if it was preparing to do something behind him, but unexpectedly, a seductive eye appeared from the shadow under Lance's feet, and launched an abyss thrust towards Gengar with all its strength!

"boom--!"

Although Mega Gengar was caught off guard, it is still the strongest fighting force beside King Juzi!

I saw it hastily gathered together to defend the barrier, resisting this killing move at the cost of being knocked back two steps by the opponent!

After the barrier was broken, Gengar didn't stay too long. It kept Grandma Juzi's advice in mind, and just tugged at the shadow at Lance's feet, then quickly retreated into the distance!

Although Huhunyan still wants to continue chasing, the protection work around Lance is more important now, and it can't be too obsessed with fighting!

Lance's pupils shrank in shock at this moment, and his eyes looking towards the distance to the left were filled with disbelief!

"Kikuko? Watari??"

After seeing those two figures, even Lance, who had always been elegant and composed, couldn't calm down. And the two younger brothers behind him felt even more desperate!

Why are the Kanto Alliance Chairman and Ghost King here? Could it be that the actions of the three of them were known in advance?

Is there a mole in the Hunter Guild? ?

Lance didn't have time to think too much, because he saw clearly what was in the hand of the Mega Gengar next to King Juzi. ——Those are the shadows of the three of them!

Gengar looked at Lance with a smirk on his face, and then slightly loosened his hands, letting the three people's shadows fall on the ground again.

Then, it stepped on it.
