Pokémon Heart Journey

The three of them worked out their strategy until late at night.

The next day, under the leadership of Xiaoyang, the three came to a research institute on Honglian Island.

"Excuse me, is Mr. Xia Bo here?"

Xiao Yang asked a researcher wearing a white coat and glasses.

The other person adjusted his glasses and said, "Are you here to look for Mr. Xia Bo? Please wait a moment, I'll go call him now."

Having said that, he walked into the research institute.

Xiaozhi looked around curiously, watching the busy researchers, and asked Sundae beside him curiously: "Is Mr. Xia Bo still a researcher?"

Sundae shook his head and said, "Mr. Xia Bo is not a researcher, but a real doctor. He seems to be working on some project."

"Hey! He's actually a Pokémon doctor? So awesome!" After hearing Sundae's answer, Xiaozhi couldn't help but exclaimed in a low voice.

"Oh, isn't this Xiaoyang? It's been a long time since we last met," came an energetic old voice.

Xiaozhi couldn't help but look in the direction of the voice, and saw an old man wearing a white coat, with gray hair and a bald head walking towards him.

"Long time no see, Mr. Xia Bo." At this time, Xiao Yang also walked up and said, "I came here this time hoping to challenge you to the gym, and so do the two friends behind me."

"So that's how it is. Let's go. There's nothing to do here anyway." Having said this, Xiao Yang noticed that the other party seemed a little disappointed, which made him feel a little strange, but he didn't ask any more questions.

Under the leadership of Xia Bo, everyone walked towards the battle venue of Honglian Gym.

On the way, Xiaozhi couldn't help but ask curiously: "Mr. Xia Bo, what research are you doing?"

"Hmm..." Hearing Xiaozhi's question, Xia Bo couldn't help but touch his chin and think for a while before saying: "If I have to say, I am engaged in research related to the legendary Pokémon and Mew."

Hearing what Xia Bo said, Xiao Yang beside him couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, thinking secretly in his heart, it seems to be related to Mewtwo, has the Mewtwo in this world not been created yet?

"Mew! Is it the Mew that is said to possess the genes of all Pokémon?" Xiaozhi couldn't help but ask curiously.

Xia Bo nodded and said, "Yes, but unfortunately, this research is almost coming to an end."

"Huh? Why?"

This time it was Xiao Yang who raised the question. He couldn't help but look at Xia Bo curiously. Could it be because Mewtwo had already been created? However, Xia Bo's answer not only made Xiao Yang more suspicious, but also made him feel unusual.

"Because the topic we are researching has been wrong from the beginning," Xia Bo's tone began to become a little excited.

"He has existed since the beginning, but he disappeared for some unknown reason. Not only did he disappear, but also...oh, just pretend I didn't say that just now. This is actually our research secret, so just pretend you didn't hear it." As if he realized that Xiaozhi and the others were there, Xia Bo quickly stopped the subject.

"Ah? Oh," Xiaozhi didn't think much of it, but Sundae and Xiaoyang on the side started thinking about it.

Shengdai was curious about what Xia Bo meant by "he" because she could tell that the "he" Xia Bo was talking about was not Meng Huan at all.

Xiaoyang's heart was filled with huge waves. It had existed since the beginning, and now it had disappeared. What did this mean?

Xia Bo led the three people to a hotel, and then turned on the switch at the hot spring in the hotel. A secret passage appeared in front of everyone. Xiaozhi and Pikachu looked at the secret passage that suddenly appeared with curiosity, and secretly admired it in their hearts.

Shengdai was also curious about the fact that the gym was built in such a place. Before coming, he heard Xiaoyang say that the gym was surrounded by lava, so he thought the gym was inside a crater.

As for Xiaoyang, who had already seen him in anime and had been here in person, he seemed relatively calm. At this moment, he was still thinking about the previous question.

After the three of them entered the secret passage, as they continued to walk downward, the air around them became increasingly hot. Sundae wiped the sweat from his forehead, fanned himself gently with his hand, and asked in confusion, "Why build the gym in a place like this?"

"Hahaha," Xia Bo smiled in response to Sundae's question and said, "Because the Crimson Lotus Gym is a fire-type gym, it naturally has to have a venue suitable for fire-type Pokémon to fight. Okay, we'll be there soon."

Hearing Xia Bo's words, the three of them couldn't help but look up and forward, only to see a huge iron gate appear in front of them. However, unlike in the anime, this iron gate had no handle.

The three of them stopped in front of the iron gate. Xia Bo took out a special switch button from his pocket and gently pressed the red button. A series of "click-click" sounds of gears turning echoed in everyone's ears, and then the iron gate was slowly opened.

The moment the iron gate opened, a heat wave rushed towards everyone. They could not help but block it with their hands. After getting used to the heat, they slowly put their hands down and looked forward. They saw a huge battlefield appeared in front of them, and the venue was surrounded by boiling magma.

"It really is a battlefield surrounded by magma." Seeing the scene in front of her, Sundae couldn't help but cover her mouth and said in surprise. After all, it was the first time she had seen such a battlefield.

"That's amazing," Xiaozhi couldn't help but admire.

"Okay, there's no need for the referee to say anything. The rules of the game are 3 to 3. I don't need to tell you the rest of the rules. Who of you three will go first?" At this time, Xia Bo had already walked to the opposite side and said to the three of them.

"Of course I'll go first," Ash took the lead and walked to his platform with Pikachu.

"Okay, my first Pokémon is this guy," Xia Bo took out a Poké Ball and threw it forward.

After a flash of white light, a fox-shaped Pokémon with nine tails and very soft golden hair appeared in front of everyone.

"Is it really the Nine-Tailed Fox? Then I'll go, Dragonite." Xiaozhi recognized the identity of the Pokémon on the opposite side at a glance, and immediately took out his Dragonite to fight.

"Aglair is a Water and Dragon-type Pokémon that is very resistant to Fire-type attacks. Satoshi has a big advantage," Sundae couldn't help but say when he saw the lineups of both sides.

Xiao Yang on the side shook his head and said, "It's not that simple. Judging from the aura emanating from the Nine-Tailed Fox, it is obviously a quasi-king intermediate Pokémon. Its strength is one level higher than that of the Thorn Dragon. Besides, Xia Bo is the gym leader. It's not that easy to defeat him."
