Elf: Wanted to make money by lying down, but became a master

The next morning, Nuo Yu set out to challenge the Red Lotus Gym.

Nuo Yu remembered that the Honglian Gym in the animation was hidden in a hot spring hotel, and through a mechanism one could reach the battle site at the crater.

But where is that hot spring hotel?

Nuo Yu felt overwhelmed when he saw the hot spring hotels everywhere.

"I thought you knew the location of the Red Lotus Gym! After all this fuss, you don't know!" Nanami complained helplessly, then said, "Come with me!"

After she finished speaking, Nanami walked away, and Nuo Yu quickly followed and asked, "Did you know?"

"Of course! Grandpa Xia Bo and my grandfather are good friends!"

Xia Bo and Professor Oak are from the same period. They met while traveling and became good friends. Later, they became the champion of the Kanto League and the Four Heavenly Kings respectively.

Later, Professor Oak changed his career and became a researcher due to some things. Xia Bo stayed in the position of the Four Heavenly Kings for nearly forty years. It was only in recent years that he retired and became the master of the Red Lotus Gym.

Although the two have taken different paths, their relationship is still very close and they get together as old friends from time to time.

Nanami brought Nuo Yu to a very ordinary hot spring club. When they opened the door, they saw Xia Bo wearing a wig.

Xia Bo was also a little surprised to see Nanami. He was stunned for a moment before he smiled and said, "Nanami, how come you have time to come to my place? Is your grandfather in good health?"

"Grandpa is in good health. Thank you for your concern, Grandpa Xia Bo." Nanami replied politely, then pointed at Nuo Yu and said, "Grandpa Xia Bo, this is Nuo Yu, my friend, and he is also here to challenge the gym."

Xia Bo turned around and looked Nuo Yu up and down, then asked, "Nuo Yu, right? How many badges do you have?"

Nuo Yu rubbed his nose awkwardly: "I don't have a badge at all."

Xia Bo's expression turned serious. "Don't have a badge? I'm sorry, but even if you are Nanami's friend, I can't accept your challenge."

Xia Bo is a very strict person and has very strict requirements for trainers who come to challenge him.

Because he has seen too many trainers who train for fun!

It would be totally irresponsible to the elves to challenge him without sufficient strength!

So he made a rule for himself that he would not accept the challenge until he had four badges.

"Grandpa Xia Bo, Nuo Yu doesn't have a badge because he doesn't want to participate in the Quartz Conference, but his strength is still very strong,"

When Nanami saw that Xia Bo was about to close the door and refuse guests, she immediately started to explain for Nuo Yu.

Nuo Yu also spoke up: "Mr. Xia Bo, just because I don't have a badge doesn't mean I don't have the strength. After all, I fought with Sister Kona every day during the week of special training with her."

"Kona? Are you talking about the Four Heavenly Kings Kona?" Xia Bo raised his eyebrows.

"Yes." Nuo Yu nodded.

"Since you and Kona have fought before, let me see your strength!"

After Xia Bo finished speaking, he walked towards the backyard.

Nuo Yu and Nanami followed to the open-air hot spring pool in the backyard, where they saw Xia Bo press a Gyarados-shaped stone sculpture, and a hole slowly appeared.

After entering the cave, Nuo Yu and others came to Xia Bo's Red Lotus Gym built in the crater.

Four thick iron chains hung a battlefield, and below was the rolling magma.

Xia Bo walked to a fighting position and said, "The rule of the Red Lotus Gym is three against three. Is that okay with you?"

"No problem." Nuo Yu walked to another section, "But I hope Mr. Xia Bo can use his main force instead of the testing team."

"Hmm? So confident?"

"It's not that I'm confident! I don't intend to challenge the Quartz Conference. I challenge you just to train my abilities. Naturally, I have to choose the strongest challenge."

"Okay, I accept your challenge!"

After saying that, Xia Bo moved his hand holding the Poké Ball to another Poké Ball, and then threw it out with force: "Come on stage, Nine-Tailed Fox!"

"Leave it to you, Windspeed!"

Seeing Ninetales appear, No Yu also sent out Windy Dog as the starting force.

Xia Bo looked at the Arcanine and showed an approving look: "This Arcanine is well trained. Since you want to challenge yourself, I will fight you according to the rules of the tournament."

"no problem."

Nuo Yu knew that Xia Bo was talking about the rule that whoever sends first attacks first.

Seeing Nuo Yu's agreement, Xia Bo began his own command: "Nine Tails, use your magical power!"

Because after Arcanine appeared, Ninetales did not show any abnormal changes, Xia Bo knew that the characteristic of Noyu Arcanine was most likely to attract fire, so he gave up the fire skills that he was better at and chose skills with psychic attributes.

"Wind Speed ​​Dog, amazing speed!"

Facing Xia Bo's attack, Nuo Yu also responded.

All psychic skills have one characteristic, which is that they must lock onto the opponent before they can launch a mental attack. Nuo Yu plans to use Arcanine's speed advantage to deal with it.

Arcanine increased its speed to the extreme, and its four thick legs became afterimages. Nine-Tailed Fox tried several times but failed to catch Arcanine's figure, and was instead shortened the distance between itself and Arcanine.

"Windspeed, bite it to pieces!"

Because the Nine-Tailed Fox's only characteristics are fire-starting and sunlight, and there was no obvious sunlight effect after the Nine-Tailed Fox appeared, so Nuo Yu also learned that its characteristic is fire-starting, so he also gave up the fire-type skills.

"Roar!"

When Arcanine was about two meters away from Nine-Tailed Fox, it leaped forward, opened its bloody mouth, and its sharp teeth sparkled.

And at this moment, Xia Bo also took action.

"Strange light!"

As soon as he finished speaking, two blue balls of light as big as eyeballs appeared in Kyuubi's eyes.

The attention of the wind speed dog was immediately attracted, and its eyes became confused.

Into a state of chaos!

A confident smile appeared on Xia Bo's lips: "Hot Sand Land!"

"As expected of the former Four Heavenly Kings, their combat proficiency is truly superb!"

At this time, Nuo Yu also saw through Xia Bo's tactics.

Because of the Nine-Tailed Fox's fire-inducing properties, Arcanine's fire skills are blocked, and most of the remaining skills are physical attacks, so it must resort to close combat.

So Xia Bo took advantage of this and used the strange light to put Windy Dog into chaos, and then, relying on the relationship between the ground system and the fire system, he used the hot sand land to harvest the opponent.

This is not a spur of the moment decision, but rather the result of experience gained from tens of millions of battles.

"Ow~"

The Nine-Tailed Fox screamed and sprayed a large amount of red-hot sand from its mouth, heading straight for the Wind Speed ​​Dog.

"Windspeed, reverse scale!"

At this moment, Nuo Yu had no choice but to take a gamble.

Having fallen into Xia Bo's trap, they can only bet that the confused Arcanine can hear Nuo Yu's orders.
