Pokémon Beyond the Blue

Xia Bo was very punctual. As soon as the sun touched the sea and the afterglow continued to shine, Xia Bo slowly appeared on the path leading to the hotel. He seemed to be carrying a few bottles in his hand - they were wine. Xia Bo spent a day going out to buy a few bottles of wine that he thought were good, and was ready to come back and relax.

"Uncle Xia, you are the trainer of the Red Lotus Gym, right?"

Xia Bo held his hat with his hand and glanced at Ikki in front of him and Riolu on his shoulder with his eyes under his sunglasses.

"Yeah, it seems to be recovering well." Xia Bo lowered his head again and said with a very sad tone: "Although I was once a gym trainer, that was what happened in the past, and now I am a The owner of Xiaoxiaodi Inn has not fought with others for a long time."

After that, Xia Bo walked up again, and Ikki could only step aside.

"If you have anything to do, let's talk about it slowly when we get back. It's rare to buy good wine."

Let's not talk about other things. When Xia Bo passed by Ikki, Riolu clearly smelled a strange smell. It was the smell of alcohol, but there seemed to be something with a strong smell mixed in. .

Ikki and Riolu came to their room. Xia Bo went to put things away first. Before leaving, he said, "Children must not touch such things. They must be placed out of his reach."

[So what are you going to do? 】

"I want to give it a try. Lulili should be fine. As for Charmander..."

Ikki picked up Charmander's Poke Ball with some uneasiness.What was reflected on the smooth surface was Ikki's wry smile.

"I hope he can perform normally."

Ikki didn't have much hope for Charmander from the beginning. If it stayed like this, Ikki wouldn't be able to do anything about it.So Ikki is already ready for a one-two or three-on-one fight.

[Well, come on, try your best. 】

Riolu said so, but at the same time he was troubled by Charmander's condition.

Not long after, calm footsteps sounded in the corridor. As the sound got louder, Xia Bo also came to the room.

"Oh, it's been a long wait. It's not convenient for me to go up the stairs. Sure enough, it's always hard to be dissatisfied, hahaha..."

Xia Bo talked to himself and sat down in front of Ikki, his expression was as usual, showing neither surprise nor panic.

"This is how Uncle Xia, I think..."

"You want to compete in the gym, right?"

Unexpectedly, Uncle Xia actually said this on his own initiative.Although he was a little unhappy to have his words taken away from him, Ikki still nodded seriously.

"So, you should know that Red Lotus Gym is a flame-type gym, right?"

Ikki nodded again.

"So, do you have a fire or water elf?"

Riolu was confused at this point. Could it be that Uncle Xia still wanted to challenge his opponent?

Ikki took out two elf balls and placed them in front of Xia Bo.

"I have Charmander and Lulili. Is there any problem?"

"Are there actually elves from other regions? That's interesting, but Lulili is not a water type."

Lulili's attributes are of the general type, although it can use the water type's special move, so in Ikki's opinion there is not much difference between the two.

"My Lulili can use water-based special moves, isn't it possible?"

"...Okay then, come with me."

Xia Bo took Ikki and Riolu lying on his shoulders to the stone statue in the hot spring.I originally thought that Ikki would ask why he came here, and then he could turn on the switch to scare the child, but Ikki did not make the expression Xia Bo thought.

"Aren't today's children no longer frightened? The changes are really big."

Saying this to himself, Xia Bo put his hand on the stone statue.

&n

bsp; Then... time paused for a second...

"It's so hot! Why is it so hot!"

Ikki opened the kettle filled with cold water and poured the water on Xia Bo's already enlarged hands.

Continuing to use water cooling to cool down the stone statue, the road to the competition venue was opened.

But when Xia Bo saw Ikki chatting with the elf on his shoulder all the time, he actually broke out in a cold sweat in such a hot temperature.

"Okay, here we are."

Walking down the steps, Xia Bo's gloomy face became radiant again.

This is my masterpiece. Who would have thought that someone would open a gym in a place like this? I am really a genius!

But Ikki's behavior is undoubtedly not pouring cold water on Xia Bo's head.

"Hey, Riolu, let's go to the hot springs later, okay?"

"Oluolu!"

These two guys don't take what they are proud of seriously at all!

"Okay! If that's the case, then I'll accept your challenge!"

"Eh? Didn't you just say that you are no longer a gym trainer? I thought you brought us here for a visit!"

"Oluolu!"

Xia Bo felt that his nerves were beating hard, and he suddenly felt like his blood was gushing, and his life span would probably be shortened by a few years.

This was his first time dealing with a child like this. He didn't expect this child to look quite sensible. Why is he like this now?

In fact, Ikki did know what Xia Bo meant. These words were Riolu's idea. If Riolu hadn't typed it out for him in the illustrated book, he wouldn't have wanted to say it.

"Forget it, I admit that I am Xia Bo, the gym trainer officially recognized by the alliance and the leader of the Red Lotus Gym."

He felt that he had completely failed. He originally thought that he would understand it after bringing him here, but the reality was not as he thought and began to develop into something dramatic.

"Am I completely reduced to a comedy character being teased by children?"

Riolu's original purpose was to tease this old man who liked to beat around the bush, but he didn't expect his reaction to be beyond Riolu's imagination. He actually...

"Well, Xia Bo," Ikki put Riolu and the backpack aside, with a determined smile on his face, "I'm rude, I am Ikki from Golden City, come to Red Lotus Gym Challenge, please give me more advice!”

Xia Bo, whose background had turned gray, could only slowly walk to the other side of the battlefield, looking decadent.

"I am the trainer of the Red Lotus Gym. Uncle Xia, I accept your challenge."

'Very good. Although I feel there are a lot of problems, as long as I start, there won't be any problems! '

Riolu sat on Ikki's backpack, pulled his scarf onto the backpack and held it tightly. The wool of the melee sheep was not fireproof, so it would be terrible if it got burned on the ground.

Although it was very hot, this scarf did not add excess heat to Riolu and seemed to have a good insulation effect.He didn't bother to worry about it. Anyway, the technology in this world had already exceeded his knowledge.

"The number of elves used in the competition is three, and there is no time limit, is that okay?"

"Well……"

Should it be said that this is indeed the case?Ikki's hands trembled and he glanced at Riolu who was looking at him from the corner of his eye.

"No, no, I will use my own strength to win this time!"

Ikki raised his head and took out Rulili's Poke Ball.

"Well, your eyes are very good, so I'll come first, go ahead, Kati Dog!"

If there are three, then I will try it with two.

Ikki threw the Poké Ball towards the field.

"Come on, Lulili!"
