It seems that you will have to go through some twists and turns to obtain the Flame Badge.
"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 roads.
"Spray flames!"
"Mm- ...
A beam of fire spewed out of the mouth of the lava slime-like Pokémon and violently hit the huge rock not far away.
bake!
The surface of the rock turned black and cracked at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then suddenly shattered with a "bang", and countless pieces of gravel scattered all over the ground.
"Meg! Well done!"
The young woman with a ponytail that bloomed like amaryllis came up to the lava worm with a big smile and rubbed her hands back and forth on the latter's head.
Clearly, those two flaming eyebrows were licking the back of her hand, but she seemed not to hear them.
no doubt.
This is none other than Asha, the leader of the Kamae Gym, who went up the mountain to practice hard without even bringing her cell phone, and her lava worm nicknamed "Meg".
She is determined to gain recognition from her grandfather Mura and achieve results that match or even exceed his achievements. She often comes to Chimney Hill to train and fight against other trainers.
Unfortunately, she is still far from her grandfather's level.
Pokémon aren't growing as fast as they used to.
It seems to have reached a bottleneck period.
"Should I capture new Pokémon?" Asia rubbed her face and lowered her head in thought.
Suddenly.
In the far distance of sight, a yellow figure flashed by.
She raised her head and rubbed her eyes. "Eyes? That's Lei Gong, right? Meige! Did you see it? The one who ran over just now was Lei Gong, right?"
"Mm..."
The Lavaworm's tone was a little uncertain. How would it know what a Thunder God was? But at the end of its sight, there was indeed a yellow thing flying past. It was definitely a Pokémon.
"--Chase!"
After a brief hesitation, Yasha decided to chase after Lei Gong who had disappeared from her sight.
Although she is a gym leader who specializes in fire attributes, there is no conflict in conquering electric attribute Pokémon. Her grandfather even has a Longwinged Gull with water and flying attributes.
The lava worms wriggle like magma, chasing the trainer's footsteps.
The two quickly followed Lei Gong's footsteps.
Chimney Mountain is the highest active volcano in the Hoenn region. It is 24 kilometers long from north to south and 18 kilometers wide from east to west. It is almost 120 kilometers around and the surrounding area is as much as 250 square kilometers.
The top of the mountain is shrouded in smog all the year round, continuously providing geothermal resources for the town of Kauyan and its surroundings. The town of Qiuye on the backside is rich in crops due to the abundant volcanic ash.
Yasha was very familiar with this mountain. After all, she had lived here since she was a child. She even encountered the first Pokémon, Coal Turtle, at Chimney Mountain. So even if Raikou left first, she would not lose him.
Theoretically it is.
"Lost?"
Yasha looked at the bare red mountain road, feeling confused and a little bit unbelievable. For some reason, the footprints of Thunder God disappeared from the ground, as if they had flown away into the sky.
The dignified Chimney Mountain girl can actually lose Pokémon from other areas on her own territory...
Is this reasonable?
"Ah... I lost him!"
Yasha kept scratching her hair, feeling somewhat annoyed.
If I hadn't found Lei Gong, I wouldn't have felt this way, but I finally saw the legendary Pokémon in this kind of place, but lost it halfway... It was really uncomfortable.
The Lavaworm glanced at the trainer, then spread its body evenly on the ground and felt it carefully.
"Mm- ...
It let out a soft cry, as if it had discovered something, and flowed towards something like magma.
Yasha followed the movement of the lava worm and discovered that when this guy "crashed" into a rock wall, he not only did not stick to it like mud, but disappeared instead.
The next second, the lava worms drilled out from the "rock wall" again.
"Ah! Fake wall!"
Yasha suddenly realized something. She looked at the lava worm and guessed why it could find this fake wall. "Is there magma in it?"
"Mm- ...
The lava worm nodded.
It is a Pokémon that is used to sleeping near lava. It may not be good at searching for other things, but finding where there is lava is its most basic instinct.
But then again.
Who built a fake wall here and attracted the god of thunder to run in?
Yasha hesitated for a moment, but still went in.
On the one hand, it is out of desire for Raikou, and on the other hand, she is curious about what is inside. The gym leader is also responsible for protecting the peace of the town. Ordinary people can choose to pretend not to see it, but she must lead by example.
Unexpectedly, just as he was about to enter, a huge figure with a mixture of green and blood rushed out from inside.
Fortunately, she reacted quickly and rolled to the side in time to avoid being hit head-on.
When Yasha looked up, she found that a rather majestic-looking Tyrannosaurus rushed out of the cave. A short-haired girl wearing a black uniform and a Guniuniu squatting on her shoulder was standing on the Tyrannosaurus' back and laughing.
"I'm not one of those people you want to chase! Give up!"
The words fell.
"Roar!!"
Lei Gong jumped out of the cave, his body flashing with lightning as he roared. A thick bolt of lightning rushed forward, piercing through the air with a deafening bang!
But such fierce lightning was easily avoided by the manned Dragonite.
"It's not that I don't mind you being so fierce—"
The black-haired girl squatted down halfway, revealing half of the spiral anklet, but out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly caught sight of Yasha who was stunned not far away, and couldn't help feeling annoyed, "Ah... there are people who are not related, it seems that there is no way to get along with you Let's enjoy the battle. Goodbye Lei Gong!"
"Roar!"
The Tyrannosaurus howled, dodged another thick lightning bolt, and flew quickly into the distance.
Extremely fast.
Lei Gong looked at the black-haired girl and Dragonite going away and was about to chase them. He also saw Yasha and Lavaworm slumped on the ground. He suddenly looked towards the foot of the mountain, as if he sensed something.
"……Roar!"
It growled in annoyance and leaped away nimbly.
Asha came back to her senses and hugged the lava worm next to her, "Meg...what happened just now? The red text on the uniform is Team Rocket?"
She turned her head to look at the fake wall not far away and took a deep breath, "Is there a secret base of Team Rocket here!?"
however.
Just as Yasha was about to go in to confirm.
She noticed that her grandfather Mura's long-winged gull was flying in the sky not far away, and then a young man appeared not far below the mountain, followed by a rather cute Happy Egg.
"Ah! Challenger!"
Yasha quickly realized the other party's intention, turned her head to look at the fake wall, gritted her teeth and did not leave.
Although innocent people should not be involved, what if there are other Rocket members inside? We must find out as soon as possible. As for the challenger... we can only let him go back to the gym and wait.
she thought.
When she turned around again, she found that the young man was moving very quickly and arrived in front of her soon.
-
"Hello, Master Yasha. Did something happen here just now? I seemed to see the god of thunder jumping over here?" Kashiwagi greeted very politely.
"Ah... um... that's it."
Yasha forced a smile, "Excuse me, are you the challenger? I can't accept the challenge right now. Can you please go back to the gym and wait? Hey! You can't touch that place!"
She screamed in shock.
However, Kashiwagi had already reached his hand into the fake wall and confirmed that there was a secret base in this place.
"what happened?"
Kashiwagi turned his head and looked at Yasha with some confusion.
This woman with a ponytail that explodes like flames has side bangs that cover her right eye from time to time. She wears a belly-exposing top and flared pants on a hot day, with all her Poké Balls hanging on her lower back. She doesn't have a bag or anything, which makes people wonder how she solves the problem of eating.
"That place is a secret base of a criminal organization. It's very dangerous. I don't recommend you to touch it casually!" Yasha took a deep breath and her tone suddenly calmed down.
"it is good."
Kashiwagi withdrew 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 by the claw marks of Thunder God 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 the criminal organization...it should be the Lava Team's, 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 under the control of the Water Fleet.
Thunder God comes to cause trouble for the Lava Team?
Kashiwagi thought about the first dragon that flew out. Due to the distance, he couldn't really see who was on its back.
"Can you tell me which criminal organization's secret base this is? So I can be more alert." He said to Yasha with a smile.
Yasha hesitated for a moment, but still shared the results of her observations.
