Pokémon: Start with an Admiral Crab!

“——Block it!”

Xia Bo shouted - although he already knew the ending, the fighting spirit of the Fire Pokémon will only be boosted if it fights until the last moment!

"call!"

The duck-billed fire dragon's eyes became firm again.

boom--!

However, the iron head charged with a tremendous force, instantly bending the duck-billed fire dragon's knees and arms...

Even though it had unleashed its full strength, the duck-billed fire dragon could only block it for a moment.

The huge gap in size and strength cannot be made up by fighting spirit alone.

The follow-up impact of Steelix's iron head attack sent Rathalos flying like a tennis ball...

Bang! Crack!

The unconscious body hit the rock wall inside the volcano, and the rock wall behind him made a slight crackling sound.

"Come back, duck-billed fire dragon!"

Xia Bo sighed lightly and retracted the duck-billed fire dragon.

"You did a great job..."

After comforting the unconscious duck-billed fire dragon, Xia Bo walked towards the center of the venue.

"Come back, big steel snake!"

Wang Yao also took back the Pokémon and began the honor awarding process.

"It's a rare opportunity to stretch these old bones..."

Xia Bo said with some sigh.

"As proof of your passing of the Red Lotus Gym - I will give you this crimson badge... Hey, where's my badge?"

Xia Bo reached into his arms...but he only pulled out a few small things like door keys, coins, and tie clips...

"Oh - I forgot! Because no one has come to challenge the gym in such a long time, I put away all the badges...haha...haha!"

Xia Bo put one hand behind his head and smiled awkwardly.

"Oh my god - I'm still waiting so seriously..."

Wang Yao's straight back collapsed instantly.

"Anyway, I'll get it for you later..."

Xia Bo said with a hint of apology.

"——that little girl over there!"

"Do you want to continue with the second game? I still have spare Pokémon!"

Xia Bo turned his head slightly and shouted to Xiao Feng who was outside the venue.

"Well... I'll just give it a try..."

After watching Wang Yao's game, Xiao Feng felt that he still had some chances.

"So you have a second duck-billed dragon, old man?"

Wang Yao stood on the platform and looked down curiously, trying to find the second Pokémon hidden in the lava.

"The situation of the duck-billed fire dragon is special... I didn't capture the second one either..."

"…I'm going to send out these three."

Xia Bo took out three new Poké Balls from his arms and hung them around his waist.

……

Wang Yao and Xia Bo walked out of the venue to make room for Xiao Feng's gym match.

"My first contestant—that's it!"

"Go! Katie Dogg!"

Xia Bo's first Pokémon was Grunt, Junsa's good partner.

"Karti Dog? Then I'll leave the first game to you - Furball!"

Xiao Feng only has three Pokémon in total, and the opponent in the first game is usually slightly weaker... At least Maoqiu still has a chance to attack.

"Catti! Spark attack!"

Xia Bo launched the attack first.

"Get out of the way quickly—and then use the paralysis powder!"

Xiao Feng immediately used the trainer's exclusive combat skills.

……

"Yeah—I win!"

Xiao Feng jumped up happily on the spot.

"...Thank you, Diya Sea Lion!"

Xiao Feng quickly ran to the center of the field, hugged the hard-won Emperor Sea Lion and expressed his gratitude.

"What a hard-working Pokémon... You've raised them well!"

Xia Bo took back the Flame Horse that had lost its strength and praised Xiao Feng and her Diya Sea Lion.

In the three battles against Xiaofeng, the Pokémon used by Xia Bo were Growlithe, Flareon, and finally Flametongue.

Judging from the overall strength - Wang Yao always felt that this old man was letting the opponent down...

The first match against Growlithe was okay. Although he was hit by the paralysis powder of Furball, he still won the first victory by relying on the attribute restraint of Spark and Flame Wheel...

However, because it fell into a paralyzed state, Growlithe was defeated unscathed by Feng's Golduck.

Flareon's performance was a bit funny... He used his ultimate fire skill [Flash Charge] on Golduck right from the start - and missed!

Then he was disarmed by Goduck's [Immobilization Technique]!

Without his ultimate move, the only King can only use moves like [Lightning Flash], [High Speed ​​Star] and [Flame Fang] to perform scraping techniques...

After finally wearing down Golduck's strength, it was still taken away by a water cannon.

The performance of the last flaming horse was quite remarkable...

First, a [Super Horn Attack] instantly killed Xiao Feng's Golduck, and then he fought with the Emperor Sea Lion with the [Thick Fat] characteristic for three hundred rounds!

Unfortunately, he lost in the end due to lack of endurance...

In the competition between Flame Charge and Mountain Pressure, Flame Horse still fell under the fat body of Emperor Sea Lion.

……

"Alas... I gave away two badges in one day. I'm getting less and less useful as I get older..."

"Come on, I'll take you to get the Crimson Badge."

Xia Bo sighed and walked towards the exit.

"Don't say that. I think you are still very young, old man!"

Xiao Feng almost called Xia Bo "grandpa" again...even though the other person was almost old enough to be his grandfather.

"Dumb tape - still strong despite old age~ still strong despite old age~"

Wang Yao raised his arms like bull horns and spoke carelessly.

"What kind of comforting words are you saying?"

Xiao Feng said somewhat speechlessly.

“Hahahaha – it seems like being among young people will make you younger in mentality!”

Xia Bo smiled and said.

The moment they walked out of the gym inside the volcano and arrived at the backyard, they immediately felt much more refreshed.

Although the underground space is equipped with ventilation devices, the temperature and smell inside the volcano are really not suitable for staying there for a long time.

"——This is the Crimson Badge!"

Xia Bo took out two flame-shaped badges from the drawer of the TV cabinet and handed them to Wang Yao and Xiao Feng.

"Isn't it a bit too hasty to put it in a place like this..."

"Yeah...Isn't this a very important badge?"

Wang Yao and Xiao Feng complained at the same time.

"As the saying goes - great people hide in the city! Who would have thought that the badge was not in the important treasure box, but was placed in the TV cabinet by me?"

Xia Bo, on the other hand, looked very confident.

"?"

Wang Yao and Xiao Feng looked at each other, their eyes full of doubt - is this really what Xia Bo thought?

"Hey! Why are you asking so many questions? If you want to take a hot spring bath, please do so. I have to send my Pokémon to the Pokémon Center to recover its strength later..."

Xia Bo couldn't hold it any longer and planned to leave first.

"Ah--thank you very much!"

Xiao Feng was very happy to have free natural hot spring bathing.

However, even though Xia Bo was not on guard against them, the two of them still planned to go to the Pokémon Center with Xia Bo to find Joey to treat the Pokémon in their hands.

Besides, we’ve already soaked in the hot spring in their backyard…it wouldn’t be too much to have dinner with the old man at the same time, right?

Since we've already had dinner...it makes sense to vacate two more rooms and stay overnight~
