Gongsun Yan was almost going crazy. Isn't there such a thing as a Quality and Technical Supervision Bureau in the Pokémon world? Even if you build your own house, you can't do such a mess, right?
If I had to describe it roughly, it would be that there is no emergency exit in the hotel you stay in, and you are given something like a disaster first aid guide before you check in.
That is the Pokémon world, that is the Crimson Lotus Island, that is Xia Bo’s decoration. Otherwise, who would come to live in such a place? Do they think they don’t live long enough?
Although the safety passage is usually of no use and has no use just standing there, it can be a life-saving thing if an accident happens!
"Ahem, you know, a building like this will never pass the Alliance's review, so I designed it myself. It's normal to have some minor flaws."
Looking at Xia Bo's face, Gongsun Yan was already thinking about how serious the consequences would be if he slapped him.
Such an important safety issue was not considered at all, and it was not reported to the league. He is a gym trainer after all, but his legal concept is too lacking.
Gongsun Yan couldn't help but start thinking about the future of the alliance. The current alliance is still too immature.
It's not just the rules, there are flaws in all aspects, especially spiritual education.
When Gongsun Yan becomes a senior leader of the alliance in the future, he will learn from his past life and organize a party class every week to directly bombard other senior leaders.
I have to say that this form of large-scale classes still has many benefits, at least it is very necessary for the current league.
"Haha, I did not think it through, but it's not a big problem. I have placed many of my Pokémon in the surrounding magma. If there is any accident, they can hold on long enough."
Xia Bo seemed to sense the malice emanating from Gongsun Yan and quickly began to explain.
After hearing Xia Bo's explanation, Gongsun Yan reluctantly agreed. After all, this is the Pokémon world, and the power of Pokémon cannot be ignored.
When Xiaozhi challenged the gym, the reason why the scene was so big was mainly because Xia Bo's main Pokémon were not there, leaving only a Platypus by his side.
Otherwise, there would be no need for Charizard's help. They could work together to push the magma back directly and give Xia Bo more time to react.
"Alright, enough small talk, let's get started with the gym battle."
Xia Bo always felt that if he continued chatting with Gongsun Yan like this, his life safety would be in jeopardy, so he quickly changed the subject, trying to turn the topic back.
"Oh, okay, Liliae, why don't you just wait outside? It's too hot here."
Gongsun Yan took a quick look at this special battlefield and found that there was no such thing as spectator seats, so he suggested that Liliae leave first.
"No, I'm yours...so I must stay by your side."
Liliae was obviously a little hesitant, but she stood firmly by Gongsun Yan's side, determined to stand by him.
"Be good, don't make trouble. Don't forget that you put on sunscreen today. If you stay in a place like this for too long, you might have to be sent directly to the hospital for emergency treatment."
Although Gongsun Yan felt very happy that Liliae was willing to accompany him, he didn't want Liliae to get hurt.
"...Humph, it's all your fault!"
"Yes, yes, it's all my fault. I'm really sorry."
Just by listening to these words, everyone would think that Liliae is simply throwing a tantrum, but that would be a real misunderstanding of Liliae.
Originally, Liliae didn't want to apply sunscreen today, but Gongsun Yan forced her to apply it. So if you trace the source, it is indeed Gongsun Yan's fault.
Chapter 241: Still Can’t Think of a Chapter Title
"Come on, I've been looking forward to this match for a long time. Let me see the strength of you, the rookie of the league!"
Xia Bo and Gongsun Yan stood on either side of the battlefield, and at this time they were the only two in this space.
This made Gongsun Yan have a deeper understanding of the willfulness of the Red Lotus Gym. It was clearly a regular gym battle, but in the end there was not even a referee.
Although considering the intensity of the upcoming match between the two of them, a normal referee on the sidelines would actually restrict their actions, so it would be better not to have a referee at all.
However, there must be a referee in the battle. This should be a necessary condition for formal battles. Now even trainers fighting on the roadside have to find a referee to be formal.
But maybe this is what they call the simplicity of the great way...right?
"Scaly Dragon, I'm leaving this battle in your hands!"
Gongsun Yan's hand kept sliding across the Poké Balls on his waist, and finally stopped on the Poké Ball of the Scaled Dragon, and he decisively took it away.
"Qiang Qiang!"
I don’t know if it was because it hadn’t appeared for too long, but as soon as it jumped out of the Poké Ball, the Ankylosaurus entered combat mode, with the scales all over its body standing up and rustling.
"Scalydon? It seems to be a dragon and fighting-type Pokémon from the Alola region. It's quite rare."
Xia Bo was indeed knowledgeable and had even seen a Scaled-Armored Dragon. However, the gym trainers before him did not recognize the origin of the Scaled-Armored Dragon and at most they could only guess its attributes.
But if you think about it, it's really a pity for the Alola region. There are so many powerful Pokémon, but none of them is particularly famous.
Of course, we are talking about the Pokémon world here, not the Pokémon battles in Gongsun Yan’s previous life. After all, the name of Gay Tiger was not given for nothing.
However, in the Pokémon world, because there have never been any particularly famous strong people in the Alola region, the Pokémon in the Alola region are not particularly famous either.
Professor Kukui is actually quite good and very powerful. He can be said to be the most powerful person in the Alola region in recent years and the person most likely to promote Alola's Pokémon.
What a shame! Professor Kukui had just left the Alola region and had not yet completed the Kanto region dungeon when he encountered a dragon-type cloaked man and was beaten back.
As for the man in the dragon cloak, I believe everyone knows that he is A'du, who had not yet become the king or the champion at that time.
Looking back, Professor Kukui was ambitious. After he had no rivals in the Alola region, he went to the Kanto region alone to open up new land.
It was okay at the beginning. Professor Kukui was still very strong. Neither the trainers on the roadside nor the gym could bring him much challenge.
This further increased Dr. Kukui's confidence, and he even began to become arrogant.
Then our dear Adu appeared. At that time, Professor Kukui thought he was just a trainer on the street, so he excitedly went up to challenge him.
And then, Professor Kukui was beaten to death...
At the beginning, Professor Kukui actually had a slight advantage, after all, Adu had not yet conquered all of his main Pokémon.
But the situation began to change subtly when Adu's Dragonite came on the field.
We no longer know what exactly happened at that time, but Professor Kukui tried his best but couldn't even hurt Dragonite.
It has to be said that this battle directly crushed Dr. Kukui's spirit, and he even did not attend the quartz conference.
But this is also a good choice. After all, the champion of that quartz conference was our dragon messenger Adu.
At that time, the Dragon Messenger Adu was already very close to his complete form. Not only did he subdue a powerful Gyarados, he also obtained a resurrected fossil pterosaur from Silver Company.
If Dr. Kukui had still been stubborn enough to attend the Quartz Conference, he would probably have met Adu in the finals based on his strength.
To be honest, Dr. Kukui's strength is really good, but there is no way he can compare to this cheating guy.
The cheating here doesn't mean that, it's just a simple mockery of Adu. After all, for Du who possesses the power of dragon and the power of Changpan, it is too easy for his strength to grow explosively.
That Gyarados and Pteranodon were both conquered after being knocked down by Adu, highlighting a special attack against dragon-type or dragon-form Pokémon.
Okay, having wasted so many words, let’s focus on the battle.
"Windspeed, I'll leave this battle to you."
After taking a close look at the Scaled Dragon, Xia Bo took out his first Poké Ball.
As early as last night, Xia Bo had chosen the Pokémon he would use in battle, so no matter what Pokémon Gongsun Yan released, his choice of Pokémon would not change.
Oh, by the way, Gongsun Yan revealed to Xia Bo yesterday the Pokémon he would send out today, so the strength of the Pokémon Xia Bo chose was also carefully selected.
As for the Pokémon that Gongsun Yan can send out, there are actually only a few of them. Isn't it a bit of a stretch to use the remaining ones to fight Fire-type gyms?
"Arcane? This venue is a bit restrictive for Arcane, right? Scalysaurus, use Screech!"
Gongsun Yan looked at the lava flowing around him, then recalled Windy Dog's specialties, and inexplicably felt that this game was a sure win.
There's no way. It's obvious that Windy is a Pokémon with speed as its specialty, but in this venue, it's impossible to show off Windy's speed no matter how you look at it.
"Crunch~Crunch~"
Looking at the Arcanine in front of it, the Armored Dragon showed a provocative look, and the sharp dragon claw of its right hand slid directly across the scales on its body. The sound similar to nails scratching a blackboard instantly resounded throughout the venue.
Don't forget that the battlefield in front of you is in a cave-like venue. The harsh sound will bounce back directly after hitting the rock wall, and the effect will be doubled.
"Not a bad choice, but if that's all, aren't you underestimating us? Windy Dog, super speed!"
Arcanine is indeed a veteran under Xia Bo. Even Gongsun Yan could not stand the harsh sound, but he did not react at all.
"Wang!"
Arcanine skillfully recognized Xia Bo's command from the noise, and the next second, his body appeared in front of the Armored Dragon.
The move "Super Speed" can be said to be Arcanine's signature move. Within the range of the battle field, Arcanine can get from one end to the other in an instant.
Chapter 242 Both Sides Suffer
Arcanine's speed was so fast that Armored Dragon didn't even have time to react. It just subconsciously put its arms in front of its chest and barely blocked Arcanine's swift move.
Although the Armored Dragon blocked the attack, the powerful impact caused it to retreat several steps, and one of its feet had already touched the edge of the field.
This really scared the Ankylosaurus. Don't forget, there is lava flowing on the edge of the venue.
Although a dragon-type Pokémon like Scaledore will not die even if it falls into lava, it will definitely not be a pleasant experience.
"Armored Dragon, rush over and use close combat. Don't let Arcanine take advantage of its speed!"
In order to limit Windy's speed, Gongsun Yan could only let Scaled Dragon and Windy fight in close combat, not allowing Windy even a little space to exert force.
"Roar!"
After hearing the command, the Ankylosaurus' eyes glowed red, and it stomped its right foot on the ground, rushing towards the Windy Dog like a heavy tank.
"Arcane, use Rumble to force Scaled Dragon away!"
Xia Bo naturally knew that if Arcanine were to fight a fighting-type Ankylosaurus in close combat... well, it seemed to have a considerable advantage.
After all, Arcanine was once a Pokémon that was jokingly called the legendary Pokémon, and it is very good at both close combat and ranged attacks.
However, Xia Bo's Windy Dog is good at long-range attacks, so keeping distance becomes a necessity.
Originally, Xia Bo planned to let Windy Hound dodge, but no matter how fast Windy Hound was, he still needed time to accumulate power.
Gongsun Yan and the Ankylosaurus will not give Arcanine time to dodge. Although the Ankylosaurus is not good at speed, its explosive power is amazing.
There was no other choice. Xia Bo could only let Windy Dog face the attack head-on. He had to block this wave of attacks from the Scaled Dragon before he could create some distance.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Within a second, Arcanine and Ankylosaurus had collided three times, and each collision was evenly matched.
And with the fourth strike, the fist of the Scaled Dragon finally overwhelmed the claws of the Windy Hound, and it knocked the Windy Hound away with one punch.
"not good!"
"Chance, Wind Speed Dog, Dragon Wave!"
Seeing Arcanine flying backwards, Gongsun Yan was not happy at all. Instead, he secretly cried out in worry.
But Xia Bo was smiling happily. His plan was successful. After Arcanine flew backwards, he immediately ordered Arcanine to attack.
That’s right, Arcanine’s first three attacks were all aimed at luring the enemy deeper, allowing Scutum to continuously increase its strength, with each punch being more powerful than the last.
When the strength of the Armored Dragon reached a certain standard, Windy Dog directly withdrew most of the strength in his hands and used the strength of the Armored Dragon to distance himself from it.
"Wang!"
While still in mid-air, Arcanine adjusted its posture, gathering a large amount of dragon energy and fire energy in its mouth.
A burst of scorching dragon energy gushed out from Arcanine's mouth and hit the Armored Dragon, causing the Dragon to scream in pain due to the heat.
Perhaps because Windy has lived in a place with abundant fire energy such as a volcano for a long time, the proportion of dragon energy in his Dragon Wave is relatively small, but there is a large amount of fire energy.
And on the battlefield now, although there is nothing else, there is a lot of fire energy. In just a short while, the scales on the armored dragon's body began to turn red.
"Scaled Dragon, use Dragon Dance!"
Gongsun Yan knew very well that if he let Dragonite escape now, he would be actively handing the rhythm of the battle into the hands of the opponent. After all, even if Dragonite left its current position, it would not be difficult for Windy Dog to adjust its position.
So Gongsun Yan just made up his mind and decided to confront you head on.
"roar~"
After hearing Gongsun Yan's instructions, the Armored Dragon endured the pain that spread throughout his body, moved his body, and his steps became gradually more mysterious.
"Whoo~"
As the pace of the Armored Dragon continued to quicken, Arcanine's Dragon Power seemed to be drawn by something. It no longer attacked the Armored Dragon, but instead surrounded it like a halo.
"Arcane, stop Dragon Wave, use Big Word Explosion!"
Seeing that Windy Hound's attack actually helped the Scaled Dragon, Xia Bo immediately asked Windy Hound to stop the Dragon Wave and instead use the pure fire-type Big Word Explosion.
