Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Once Alakazam gets close enough to pinpoint the location of the underwater space, it can teleport directly there.

Fortunately.

Although this whale king is huge and very strong, it doesn't seem to move very fast.

With Milotic, who had gained "speed boost," leading the way, two Gyarados escorting them, and Alakazam, whose psychic abilities were exceptionally active, providing guidance.

Just before Xia Yan and Lance were about to be surrounded by wild Pokémon, Alakazam used Teleport.

They were taken into a certain space deep in the sea.

Chapter Fifty: The Source of the Riot

heat.

Scorching hot.

Upon entering this space, Xia Yan and Du's first impression was that they were in a sea of ​​fire, drenched in sweat.

This was even with Alakazam's psychic powers isolating the surrounding temperature.

Alakazam amplified the intensity of his psychic powers, which somewhat alleviated the burning sensation.

I looked up.

All around, whether on the ground, on the rock walls, or overhead, was a large amount of fiery red lava.

It felt as if we had traveled directly from the underwater world to a world of magma.

Here.

It's roughly directly below Crimson Lotus Island, where the Crimson Lotus Volcano connects to the Earth's crust, and it's also the area where magma is most active.

Not far from this space is the area where lava flows outwards.

It is because the molten lava flowed out that this small but scorching space was created.

The Poké Ball on Xia Yan's waist opened on its own.

Burning Insect appeared before Xia Yan with a joyful expression.

"Waaaaah~~"

A cheerful sound rang out as it entered its favorite environment.

Xia Yan gently rubbed the little guy's head and looked at the place where gushing lava was flowing out along the crack.

There.

Not only are there a large group of water-type Pokémon attacking from the outside, but there are also many fire-type Pokémon living in the lava defending themselves.

It was precisely because of this stalemate between the two sides.

This led to the disruption of the ocean currents surrounding Crimson Lotus Island.

However, we can't blame these fire-type spirits.

After all, if the water spirits from outside were to bring in the surging seawater, the loss would not only be a matter of territory, but also their entire home.

Once the magma is washed away by the sea, it's uncertain how much of the molten lava will remain.

It might not work out.

The entire Crimson Lotus Island's Crimson Lotus Volcano, an active volcano, will be extinguished as a result, becoming a dormant volcano.

For these water-type spirits living in lava, that would be a catastrophe.

At first.

In Groudon's alternate dimension, Volcarona's home was wiped out because the volcano went out of control, leaving only one Volcarona alive.

Even a powerful species like the Volcarona can go extinct, which shows just how important a comfortable habitat is for wild Pokémon.

This is also why those elves living in the wild constantly fight desperately for territory and resources.

just.

After Xia Yan and his group entered, the elves active in the lava also noticed their presence.

At first glance, they were regarded as intruders, just like the group of water-type spirits outside.

The fire-type spirits, already enraged, didn't care why Xia Yan and his friends had appeared there in the first place.

Then came an elf with bloodshot eyes, a body like viscous magma, and a shell formed from solidified lava on its back, with wisps of flame seeping out from the cracks in the shell.

Lava snail!

Without saying a word.

A burst of blazing flame shot out, aimed directly at Xia Yan and his companion.

In such a scorching environment, surrounded by abundant fire energy and elements, the lava snail's "flame jet" looked exceptionally powerful.

the most important is.

Among the Pokémon in the lava that were resisting the Water-type Pokémon, there were quite a few Torkoal.

Within the shell of one of the near-Celestial King-level coal turtles, blindingly hot energy continuously erupted, making the fire-type energy within this small space exceptionally active.

"Sunshine" feature!

The space at this moment not only contained scorching magma, but also benefited from the "sunny day" weather, making the moves of fire-type Pokémon even more powerful and terrifying.

But for Xia Yan and Du, the only advantage was that they were finally free from the raging seawater.

Lance immediately threw out a Poké Ball.

As the red light flashed, an orange-red elf flapped its wings and swung its sharp claws, cleaving the flames spewed by the lava snail in two.

"Roar--!!"

It's Wataru's Charizard!

The roar echoed in the small space.

The lava surged and heated even more violently under the swirling air currents created by the fire-breathing dragon.

"Xia Yan," Watari called out, turning his head to the side.

Xia Yan nodded slightly.

"They're all in a frenzy, so they probably won't listen to us. To stop the lava from leaking out, we have to defeat all the Pokémon living in the lava, as well as all the water-type Pokémon outside."

The two agreed.

Whatever the reason these elves have, the sea around Crimson Lotus Island must be calmed down as soon as possible.

Otherwise, not only will weak Pokémon continue to be injured or even die, but the residents of Cinnabar Island will also not be completely safe, which could eventually lead to Cinnabar Island disappearing from the Kanto region.

So Xia Yan flipped his hand and threw it out.

Infernape was also summoned.

Du grinned.

"It's been a long time since we've collaborated."

"Hey." Xia Yan chuckled softly.

Let's see how well the two of them get along now.

Charizard spread its wings, stirring up rolling heat waves, and rushed towards the group of Fire-type Pokémon. Its body danced, and the "Dragon Dance" brought a rapid increase in momentum.

but.

Charizard is fast, but there are creatures faster than it.

The Infernape, with a serious expression, stomped the ground, its entire body erupting in flames, and it shot out like a cannonball.

In the blink of an eye, it appeared beside the Charizard, and then passed it again.

Snapped!

The crisp sound of the "high five surprise attack" rang out.

The lava snail had a stiff expression.

Followed by.

The fire-breathing dragon's sharp claws tore through space and slashed down.

Three striking scratch marks were left on the hard shell of the lava snail.

Infernape then followed up with a Power-Up Punch.

While knocking the lava snail away, it also completely rendered it incapable of resisting.

The whole process took only a fleeting moment.

Neither of the two defeated elves stopped.

Charizard's wings glowed white as it charged into the group of Fire-type Pokémon. Two bright lights appeared and flashed, knocking away a Torkoal and a Magmar.

A blazing pillar of fire shot from the side of the Charizard, followed by three or four more pillars of fire that instantly coalesced and merged into a raging sea of ​​fire that swept towards the Charizard.

Charizard, however, paid no attention to this scene. It simply swung its tail again, carrying a strong dragon-type energy, and repelled an approaching ant.

Before the sea of ​​fire could fall, Infernape, carrying flames, appeared beside Charizard.

His eyes flashed with fire as he slammed his fist into the ground.

With a thunderous roar, scalding magma surged forth, and a massive magma pillar rose from the ground.

The pillar, encased in magma, contained extremely high temperatures, and combined with the energy it contained, it directly split the sea of ​​fire in two.

This caused the sea of ​​fire to sweep across the area.

However, the central area was the only one that remained unaffected.

And this area is naturally where Infernape and Charizard are standing right now.

The two elves stood back to back.

Four eyes scanned back and forth.

He did not show any emotional fluctuation after blocking the attack.
