Chapter 357 Secret Base

The hot springs are certainly refreshing.

Kashiwagi has not forgotten the purpose of coming to Fuyan Town——

Gym Challenge.

It took such a long time to get three badges while traveling, which is somewhat unreasonable, and the progress may be slower than Xiaozhi.

But there was nothing they could do about it. In order to train Big Mouth Baby, they stayed in different cities for quite a long time, ranging from a week to more than half a month.

Especially this time in Green Town.

Not only did I successfully pass the double blue simulation, but I also completed the normal simulation three times. If this momentum continues, there will soon be another round of blue simulation.

After thinking about it again and again, he decided not to wait for the next round of blue simulation and start the gym challenge. The level of the two-headed tyrannosaurus reached level 57 not long ago. Adding the five levels previously rewarded, it would be level 62. .

Dr. Yamanashi said that level can make evolution happen naturally, but it is not an absolute factor that affects evolution. Therefore, even if there is a difference of two levels, there won't be much of a problem.

The key lies in the heart and will of the two-headed tyrannosaurus to evolve.

Kashiwagi planned to give the opportunity to shine in the gym to the two-headed tyrannosaurus... and Happy Egg, and if possible, let Porygon also play a dozen.

Although it may be a little difficult to fight, I believe they will definitely bring them the final victory.

Kashiwagi packed his things and was about to go out to sign up. He looked at Lei Gong who was still soaking in the hot spring from a distance, squinting his eyes and not moving. This guy hasn’t moved since he soaked in——

This is a bit inaccurate. It comes out when eating, and it is only when eating that I am most active.

Grooming and petting come second.

Anyway, this guy is basically stationed in the hot spring pool and doesn't even want to go for a walk. It's obvious that the outdoors is so close that it's only a wooden wall away.

"Are you going to stay in the pool for another day?"

Before closing the door, Kashiwagi shouted to Lei Gong, "Why don't you go out and pick up the strong and help the weak?"

The latter didn't answer at all, sitting upright like a clock, with the black iron plate on his forehead covered with a white towel. The latter was originally used to cool down and prevent cerebral congestion caused by excessive body temperature.

But for Lei Gong, this thing is more decorative than practical. It may not overheat after being soaked for a year.

"Okay, Gao Leng."

He didn't care if he didn't get a reply after waiting for a long time. Lei Gong rarely responded to his voice. Usually he would only give eyes or an electric attack when he was being persecuted to warn someone not to cross the line.

Click.

The door is closed.

Lei Gong suddenly opened his eyes, then narrowed them again. There was a small crack in the door, and a curious eye leaked out.

After a few seconds, it was still not found to be moving. The quietly observing eyes disappeared, and the door of the room was completely closed with an inaudible click.

Lei Gong: "..."

Why is this kid so annoying!

It opened its eyes, slowly crawled out of the smoky hot spring, lowered its head and pulled the white towel off its forehead, then suddenly shook off the moisture on its fur, and ran towards the towering Chimney Mountain outside the town.

Although there is no telling when Kashiwagi will return, it still has its work cut out for it.

——

Fu Yan Gym.

Located in the southwest of Fuyan Town, with tall houses, green tiles and red roofs, it looks like some kind of miniature ancient city.

It can be called a cultural heritage.

Perhaps it is due to the influence of this simplicity that it is considered "simple" when it comes to making reservations to challenge gyms, and you have to call the door.

"Is anyone there? Is anyone here?"

Kashiwagi yelled at the top of his lungs. It wasn't because he was idle, but because there was a sign on the door saying "Can't find anyone, please call twice". There wasn't even a contact number, let alone a machine to book a gym challenge.

Before coming here, I checked the official account on the blog - I found that it was managed by someone from the alliance, and there weren't even a few short battle videos.

It’s like being insulated from the online world.

Is Asha really a young man?

He couldn't help but be a little suspicious, and guessed that it might have something to do with the fact that she had been staying with her grandfather and studying how to breed Pokémon every day. After all, my grandfather is a retired Four Heavenly Kings, so it will inevitably be particularly stressful to create achievements that rival or even surpass those of his elders.

It’s normal to have little opportunity to understand the Internet, and people only have so much energy.

Kashiwagi was walking in the huge Kamayan Gym, but he couldn't see anyone for a long time. Just as he was about to enter a certain room to take a look, an old man with curly hair and gray glasses walked out from the corner of the building. He shouted angrily:

"Someone!"

"...King Mu La?"

he asked subconsciously.

"Hmm! I haven't heard anyone call me that in decades." Mulla was stunned for a moment.

The so-called replacement of old people with new ones from generation to generation may not be so easily forgotten by the world in the first few years after taking office, but decades have passed, and I don’t know how many times have been replaced by one term after another.

How many people still remember the fire king Mulla?

Just the neighbors and fellow villagers that we are familiar with.

"Hello, is the owner of Yasha Hall here?"

Kashiwagi smiled and directly explained his purpose of coming, "I'm here to challenge the gym. If I'm not here, I hope you can make an appointment."

Mulla waved her hand and said: "No need to make an appointment! Just go to the concave and convex mountain path of Chimney Mountain to find her! She is practicing there with her Pokémon, and she probably won't come down in the next week or two."

"A week or two... no phone?"

"No! I'll let the long-winged gull help you show the way! Go!"

Mulla released the long-winged gull very generously.

This bird Pokémon that can be seen everywhere on the seashore of Hoenn has a huge beak for easy intake of food, and a single wing that is half the size of the body is also conducive to long-term flight.

The key is that the eyesight is good, so it has the [Sharp Eyes] trait, which is convenient for it to go to the dock to get some fries.

Now it is used by Mura to find his good granddaughter who goes to the mountain to practice every few days.

Kashiwagi looked up at the long-winged gulls circling in the sky, "..."

Practicing in the mountains?

Without communication equipment?

...These gym leaders are so unique.

It seems that if you want to get the Flame Badge, you must go through some twists and turns.

"Thank you."

He bowed slightly to Mura and moved forward in the direction indicated by the long-winged gull in the air.

While Kashiwagi was looking for his humanoid mobile badge.

Concave and convex mountain road.

"Jet flames!"

"Magu!"

A beam of flame spewed out of the mouth of the magma slime-like Pokémon, and violently bombarded the giant rock not far away.

Boom!

The surface of the rock turned black and cracked at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then suddenly broke and disintegrated with a "bang", and countless pieces of stone scattered all over the ground.

"Meige! Well done!"

The young woman with a ponytail blooming like Lycoris came to the side of the lava worm with a smile, rubbing her hands back and forth on the latter's head.

The two tufts of flame eyebrows were licking the back of her hand back and forth, but she seemed not to hear it.

There is no doubt.

This is the owner of the Kamugan Gym, Yasha, who went up the mountain to practice hard without a mobile phone, and her lava worm nicknamed "Meige".

She is determined to get the recognition of her grandfather Mura and achieve results comparable to or even beyond his achievements. She often comes to Chimney Mountain to train and fight against other trainers.

Unfortunately, she is still far from her grandfather's level so far.

The growth rate of Pokémon is not as fast as before.

It seems to have entered a bottleneck period.

"Should I capture new Pokémon? "Asha rubbed her face and lowered her head in thought.

Suddenly.

A yellow figure flashed in the distance.

She raised her head and rubbed her eyes, "Are you dazzled? Is that Raikou? Meg! Did you see it? The one who ran over just now was Raikou, right?"

"Mah..."

The tone of the lava worm was a little uncertain. It didn't know what Raikou was, but there was indeed a yellow thing flying past at the end of its sight. It was a Pokémon without a doubt.

"——Chase! "

After a brief struggle, Yasha decided to chase after the disappearing Raikou.

Although she was a gym leader who was good at fire attributes, it was not in conflict with her to capture electric attribute Pokémon. Her grandfather even had a Long-winged Gull with both water and flying attributes.

The lava worms crawled like magma chasing the trainer's footsteps.

The two quickly followed the footsteps of Raikou.

As the highest active volcano in the Hoenn region, Chimney Mountain is 24 kilometers long from north to south, 18 kilometers wide from east to west, and a circle of almost 120 kilometers. The surrounding area is as much as 250 square kilometers.

The top of the mountain is shrouded in smoke all year round, continuously providing geothermal resources for Kamuen Town and even the surrounding area. Akiba Town on the back has extremely lush crops due to the rich volcanic ash.

Yasha is very familiar with this mountain. After all, she has lived here since she was a child. Even the first Pokémon, Coal Turtle, was encountered in Chimney Mountain, so even if Raikou left first, she would not be able to lose him -

In theory.

"Lost? "

Asha looked at the bare red mountain road, confused and a little bit unbelievable. For some reason, the footprints of the Thunder God disappeared on the ground, as if they flew into the sky.

A girl from Chimney Mountain could actually lose the Pokémon from other regions on her own territory...

Is this reasonable?

"Ah... I lost it!"

Asha kept scratching her hair, a little annoyed.

If she hadn't found the Thunder God, she wouldn't have felt this way, but she finally saw the legendary Pokémon in such a place, but lost it halfway... It was so painful.

The Lava Worm looked at the trainer, and its body turned into a whole evenly spread on the ground to feel it carefully.

"Mahgu!"

It made a soft cry, as if it had discovered something, and flowed towards something like magma.

Asha's eyes followed the movement of the Lava Worm, and turned to find that when this guy "bumped" into a rock wall, he not only didn't stick to it like mud, but disappeared.

The next second, the Lava Worm drilled out from the "rock wall" again.

"Ah! Fake wall!"

Asha suddenly realized, looked at Lavaworm and guessed why it could find this fake wall, "Is there magma in it?"

"Mah!"

Lavaworm nodded.

It is a Pokémon that is used to sleeping near magma. It may not be good at searching for other things. Finding where there is magma is the most basic instinct.

But then again.

Who made a fake wall here, and also attracted Leigong to run in.

Asha hesitated for a moment, but still got in.

On the one hand, it was out of the desire for Leigong, and on the other hand, she was curious about what was inside. The gym owner also has the responsibility to guard the peace of the town. If it were an ordinary person, she could choose to pretend not to see it, but she had to lead by example.

Unexpectedly, just as she was about to enter, a huge figure mixed with green and blood rushed out from inside.

Thanks to her quick reaction, she rolled to the side in time and was not hit head-on.

When Asha looked up, she found that what rushed out of the cave was a rather majestic-looking Tyrannosaurus. A short-haired girl wearing a black uniform with a Gu Niuniu squatting on her shoulders was standing next to the Tyrannosaurus. Laughing on the back.

"I'm not the person you want to chase! Give up!"

The words fell.

"Roar!!"

Thunder God jumped out of the hole, roaring with lightning flashing on his body, and a thick thunderbolt rushed forward, piercing the air and making an ear-exploding explosion!

But such a ferocious thunder and lightning was easily dodged by the manned Tyrannosaurus.

"It's not that I don't mind if you're so fierce -"

The black-haired girl squatted down, revealing half of her spiral anklet. From the corner of her eye, she suddenly spotted Yasha, who was stunned not far away. She couldn't help but feel annoyed, "Oh... Is there anyone related? It seems I can't deal with you." Have fun fighting. Goodbye, Lei Gong!"

"Roar!"

The Tyrannosaurus howled, once again dodged a thick bolt of lightning, and flew rapidly towards the distance.

Extremely fast.

Thunder God looked at the black-haired girl and the Tyrannosaurus walking away, and was about to chase after them. He also saw Asha and the lava worms lying on the ground, and suddenly looked at the foot of the mountain, as if he sensed something.

"……Roar!"

It growled in annoyance and jumped away deftly.

Asha came to her senses and hugged the lava bug next to her, "Meg...what happened just now? The red text on that uniform is Team Rocket?"

She turned to look at the fake wall not far away and gasped, "Is there a secret base of Team Rocket here!?"

However.

Just when Yasha was about to go in to confirm.

She found her grandfather Mulla's long-winged gull flying from the horizon not far away, followed by a young man appearing not far down the mountain, accompanied by a rather cute happy egg.

"Ah! Challenger!"

Yasha quickly realized the other party's intention, turned her head and glanced at the fake wall, gritted her teeth and did not leave.

Although innocent people shouldn't be involved, what if there are other Rockets involved? We must quickly explore the inside. As for the challenger... we can only let him return to the gym first and wait.

she thought to herself.

When she turned around again, she found that the young man was moving very fast, and he came to her in a short time.

——

"Hello, Master Yasha. Did something happen here just now? I seem to have seen Thunder Lord jump from here?" Kashiwagi greeted politely.

"Ah...um...that's it."

Asha forced a smile and said, "I'm sorry, are you the challenger? I can't accept the challenge now. Can you please go back to the gym and wait? Hey! You can't touch there!"

she exclaimed.

However, Kashiwagi had already reached into the false wall and confirmed that there was a secret base in this place.

"What's wrong?"

Kashiwagi turned his head and looked at Asha with some confusion.

This woman with a ponytail that explodes like a flame has slanted bangs that occasionally cover her right eye. She wears a navel-baring outfit and bell-bottom pants on a hot day. All her pokeballs are hanging on her lower waist. She doesn’t have a bag or anything, which makes people curious. How is she going to solve her eating problem.

"That place is a secret base of a criminal organization and it is very dangerous. I don't recommend you to touch it casually!" Yasha took a deep breath and her tone suddenly calmed down.

"good."

Kashiwagi retracted his hand.

He didn't have the ability to see through the fake wall at a glance, but he could tell there was a ghost here through the Thunder God's paw prints on the ground. If he reached out and tried again, he would be able to uncover the secret.

As for this so-called secret base of a criminal organization...it should belong to Team Lava, right?

He remembered that in the Emerald version, the base of the Lava Team was at Chimney Mountain, and the base outside Shuijing City was completely owned by the Water Fleet.

Raikou comes to cause trouble for Team Lava?

Kashiwagi thought for a moment about the tyrannosaurus that flew out at the beginning. Because it was too far away, he really didn't see who the hunched back was.

"Can you tell me which criminal organization's secret base is here? I want to be more vigilant." He said to Yasha with a smile.

Asha hesitated for a moment, but still told her the results of her observations.

"It's Team Rocket, you may not recognize it..."

"No, I know him."

Kashiwagi was stunned for a moment and then quickly said: "Is it a criminal group that specializes in wreaking havoc in Kanto and Johto? Is this their secret base in the Hoenn region?"

"Well... I saw a person wearing a Rockets uniform break out, and Mr. Lei chased that person away." Yasha nodded and added: "In fact, you may not know, the Rockets have been I have been doing activities in Fengyuan before.”

Refers to the Rockets trio?

Kashiwagi remembered that one of Asha's lava bugs evolved into a lava snail during the battle with the Rocket trio.

But he didn't expect that the owner of this secret base was actually Team Rocket...

Wouldn't Thunder Lord have been to Fuyan Town a long time ago?

Suddenly.

Kashiwagi looked at Asha and asked:

"Are you planning to go in alone now? Isn't this dangerous?"

He remembered that this man didn't even have a phone in his hand, so he had no way of informing Miss Junsha and tried to get him to leave. He was obviously planning to put himself in danger.

"Have you informed Miss Junsha?"

"Woo..."

Yasha stiffened and quietly looked away from him, saying: "Actually, I just went in to take a look, there won't be any big problem. I am the gym leader after all."

Kashiwagi was silent, and after a few seconds, he took out his cell phone and said, "Why don't we inform Miss Junsha and call for reinforcements first? What do you think?"

"..."

Asha remained silent and acquiesced.

A few moments.

Miss Junsha from Fuyan Town brought a large number of police officers to the foot of the mountain to learn about the specific situation with the gym leader Yasha.

Kashiwagi had to leave.

Although he was curious about what was going on inside the base, Miss Junsha would never allow an ordinary person to enter such a dangerous place, so he had no choice but to go down the mountain.

But before leaving, I received a promise from Yasha herself that I could fight at the Fuyan Gym in the afternoon.

Overall, the trip was not in vain.

And back to the town.

Kashiwagi went straight to the hotel without thinking.

Open the door.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling window that connected to the outdoor hot spring pool, Lei Gong was still soaking in the pool as before he left, but the towel above his head was missing.

He pretended to be suspicious, slowly approached and asked, "Did you go out just now?"

"..."

"I've even seen your thunder and lightning."

"..."

"Looking for Team Rocket's base on Chimney Hill? How did you find that place? Have you been to Cauldron Town before?"

"..."

"Pretend to be serious, right?"

Kashiwagi looked at Lei Gong who never responded, and said: "Why don't you tell me? It's not like I can't help you. Even if you don't have the combat capability, you can do it elsewhere, right?"

Lei Gong opened his mouth slightly and yawned lazily under his expectant gaze.

An expression that says I have nothing to say to you.

Kashiwagi: "..."

Suddenly I feel like beating the cat, what should I do?
