Chapter 42: Big Rock Snake Begins Training

In order to become stronger, Jiro and the others chose Red Lotus Town as their final place of practice, and they were taking a ship to Red Lotus Island at this time.

In this simple world of Pokémon, how can there be no Pokémon battles on a ship?
At this time, Sunflower is using Froggrass to fight a boy who is using Sea Stars. Speaking of the rules of fighting on the boat, they are quite different from the rules of fighting on land.

First of all, digging holes, skills such as earthquakes must not be used, otherwise there will be a shipwreck every minute.

And skills that are too powerful cannot be used to avoid damage to the ship, so the battle here is more technical, testing the trainer's ability to use Pokémon skills flexibly.

This is a good sharpening effect for novice trainers.
Well, if Sunflower who has already got seven badges is considered a novice.

With Froggrass' final blow to Feiye Kuaidao, Hai Xingxing was finally unable to fight again, so this time the winner is Sunflower.

But once the battle was over, perhaps because of such a long period of training, the froggrass had accumulated enough energy for upgrading. Stimulated by this victory, the light of evolution shone on it.

It has only been three months since I got the Miao Frog Seed, and the Miao Frog Seed has completed all the evolutionary journeys and has grown into Miao Frog Flower. The advantages of Yusanjia can be seen.

In the applause of everyone, Sunflower was also moved to tears of joy.

These three months, do you know how she came here?Washing, cooking, boiling water, and helping Pokémon clean their bodies, is it super tiring, okay?
She did what a nanny should do, and she did what a nanny shouldn't do, but fortunately, it was all worth it.

In this process, she not only got Charmander, but also Casey evolved into Yongjira, and more importantly, she learned how to train Pokémon from Jiro.

If she was the only one traveling alone, it would be absolutely impossible to have such a big harvest.

Wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, Sunflower took back Frog Flower and got the reward of this competition from the captain, a Pokémon egg.

Speaking of the rewards of this kind of competition, it is also very interesting. No money or material is rewarded, only unknown Pokémon eggs are rewarded.

These eggs were accidentally obtained by the ship from the sea or on the shore during the trip, and they might hatch out of miniature dragons or king carps.

Of course, the probability of hatching [-] carp kings out of [-] eggs is greater than the probability of hatching [-] miniature dragon. After all, the total number of the two groups is there.

But for Sunflower, it doesn't matter, anyway, she is still short of a water-type Pokémon, even if it is the carp king, she will take good care of it to grow into a Gyarados.

With the experience of getting along with the Gyarados in Hualan Gym, she is confident that she can control this ferocious Pokémon.

Holding the reward, Sunflower soon saw Jiro fishing on the other side of the deck. It was rare to see him with a sad face, Sunflower walked over with a smile.

"Well, haven't you caught any fish yet?"

Seeing Sunflower holding the egg, Jiro understood the result of the competition, and he was not surprised, but faced with her question, he looked embarrassed and coughed lightly.

"Ahem, after my experiments, the weight of the fishing rod rented on this boat is too light when sailing at the height of the boat, and the bait floats on the water."

"In addition, due to the good weather and high air pressure today, the fish will naturally not float to the surface to breathe."

"So you can't catch any fish at all."

"Forget it, stop fishing, count the time, the boat is about to arrive at Honglian Island, we are ready to go ashore."

After a detailed analysis, Jiro confirmed that it was not his fault that he could not catch fish, so he returned the fishing rod as if nothing had happened, without feeling the slightest blush.

And he is a trainer who specializes in rocks, so it is reasonable that he is not liked by water-type Pokémon.

I don't mention this matter, after boarding Red Lotus Island, go to the Pokémon Center to check in as usual.

For Sunflower, the owner of the Red Lotus Gymnasium is proficient in the fire element, which happens to restrain her main Pokémon. It is not an easy task to get the badge.

For Jiro, this place is a treasure land for the evolution of the big rock snake, and he does not plan to leave here before the start of the Quartz Conference.

According to the instructions in the illustration book of later generations, Jiro initially planned how to evolve the rock snake without using the metal film, an uninterviewed prop.

It's very simple, it is to let the big rock snake drill into the ground, gradually strengthen its body through the pressure of magma and the ground, and finally achieve the effect of quantitative change leading to qualitative change, which is the same as steelmaking.

tempered into a steel.

However, during this process, the big rock snake must replenish a large amount of energy. If there is not enough energy support, it may die underground.

Of course, due to the defects of the rock snake itself, it is easy to get lost in the ground, so the rhinoceros must be accompanied. By the way, the rhinoceros can also exercise themselves in this way.

"Red Lotus Island itself is a volcanic island. Even if it is surrounded by the sea, the ground will not be too humid, but it is said to be a very suitable place for big rock snakes to exercise."

"But judging from the plot, it's a pity that Honglian Town on this small island will eventually be destroyed by a volcanic eruption."

"It's just the volcanic stone that can suppress the volcano, can't even Xia Bo get it?"

Shaking his head, Jiro didn't think too much about it. He wasn't rich enough to use a treasure related to Legendary Pokémon to support others. Once the volcano stone is placed, it is basically impossible to move it.

Otherwise, as soon as the energy cycle is broken, the volcano will erupt immediately.

And as it continuously absorbs volcanic energy, perhaps only Sidolan, who feeds on the energy contained in it, is not afraid of the heat contained in it.

"Well, it doesn't matter. Let me think about it. The main goal now is to get the training of the Big Rock Snake on the right track."

"Meteorite, and high-quality iron ore, these things, I need a lot of money."

"So, are you going to sell evolutionary stones again?"

"If you don't sell it, I don't have enough funds to buy these things in large quantities. I blame that damned person. Otherwise, if there is [-] million, then there will be no worries."

"Just wait for me, it's time for you to pay the price at the Quartz Conference."

"You bullied me when I was young, bullied me that there is no one in the dark gray gymnasium, right? We'll see when the time comes."

Originally the top-rank Tsuki no Ishijiro would never make a move, but after experiencing that incident, his concept changed a little.

The resources left in the hands are all virtual, and only spending them in the hands of Pokémon can improve their strength, which is the embodiment of their value as treasures.

So, sell it, and sell it with [-] high-grade moon stones in one go.

Dawu, Moses Moses.

　Although there is only one evolution route of the big rock snake in the game, it follows the wild big rock snake that appeared in the anime and the crystal big rock snake that appeared.

　　It shows that the body structure of the rock snake is easily affected by the external environment.

　　That's why I arranged this evolution route for it. Of course, it is impossible to evolve this way, and a small opportunity is needed.

　　Then revenge will definitely be revenge, and it is set to be the superior of other gym owners in the alliance.

　　The goal is to weaken the dark gray gymnasium and make it lose its position as the top eight in Kanto.

　　This part of the story begins after the Quartz Conference.

　　The current plot is mainly to practice in Honglian Town until the start of the conference, but in the middle I will try to insert Chaomeng's counterattack plot and the plot of recruiting new members.
