Why would you need a girlfriend when you have Pokémon?

Although the name "Aotu Mountain Road" sounds difficult to complain about, if you take a closer look, you will find that it is a name that really fits this place perfectly.

Yasha has been training in Chimney Mountain since she was a child, so she is quite familiar with this rugged mountain road. Although it is Lowe's first time, he has grown up under the training of his father, and his physical fitness is far beyond his peers.

Only Liliae had a hard time holding on to the rugged mountain road, but fortunately she managed to persevere.

It seems that the experience during this period is a very meaningful growth period for the little princess. Perhaps this was not part of her original life plan, but at least for now, this unplanned trip is very interesting.

Lowe reached out and pulled Liliae, and Gardevoir behind him used telekinesis to support her. Liliae exerted force with her feet and successfully stepped on the last protruding rock and jumped onto a relatively flat mountain road.

With Lowe reaching out to pull people up, Gardevoir simply used his telekinesis to assist. Although in fact, with the strength of Gardevoir's telekinesis, it would not be difficult to carry everyone up the mountain.

But considering that there is a high probability that there will be a tough battle to fight, it would be good to save some telekinesis. What's more, as the trainer and master, Lowe has already extended a hand, so Gardevoir naturally behaved well and served as a support.

She would never steal the limelight from her trainer, which was also a sign of her gentleness.

"All right……"

Yasha climbed up the mountain path easily, then raised her hand and pointed upwards, "From here on, the road will be flat..."

Of course, this flat road is definitely relative to the extreme rock climbing section. In fact, compared with a proper road, it is definitely still quite rugged and difficult to walk on. But at least they have experienced the extreme rock climbing section just now. This originally rugged mountain road instantly became cute and pleasing in the eyes of Lowe and Liliae.

It can only be said that contrast creates beauty, and after coming here, they clearly felt a little bit...

"...It's strange, there should be a lot of Pokémon here normally."

Yasha looked around and saw nothing but bare rocks all around, with no trace of Pokémon at all. Normally, when you reach this location halfway up the mountain, you've already entered the area where wild Pokémon live.

Normally, ordinary tourists would only take the cable car to this location, and then take another road to Buyan Town.

This is also the only passage connecting Fuyan Town with the outside world. As a closed town surrounded by mountains on three sides, this is a one-way road.

This road is completely opposite to the road that Lowe and others are going to take. That road goes downward, while the next road will continue upward.

In a sense, this is the dividing point between the human and wild Pokémon activity areas. Thousands of years of coexistence have formed a tacit understanding between the two parties. Unless there are emergencies, wild Pokémon will not invade human activity areas, and vice versa.

In other words, if you step into an area where wild Pokémon are active and are attacked, you can only rely on your own skills to escape, because it is you who stepped into the opponent's territory first, so it is natural to be attacked.

Therefore, apart from trainers who train themselves specifically, no one would go down this path.

But at this moment, the road is clear and there is no sight of the wild Pokémon that should be living here.

"And... it's so hot..."

Lowe raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his forehead, then he took out a spray from his backpack and sprayed it on himself, then handed it to Liliae beside him.

The other party thanked him, took it, and sprayed it on himself in the same way.

After spraying the spray, the heat on his body faded a lot, but he could still feel that the temperature around him was far higher than normal. Lowe took out the navigator and took a look. The reading of 44 made him shout "Turtle" in his heart...

...44 degrees Celsius, that's almost the level of torture. And this is only halfway up the mountain, who knows what the top of the mountain will be like.

"I think I need to go back and get two ice-type Pokémon to help me out..."

Lowe thought about this very seriously. After all, although there is a cooling spray, this spray made by extracting various secretions of ice-type Pokémon is definitely not as effective as the ice-type Pokémon itself.

When you go out, in order to deal with various extreme weather conditions, you should prepare some Pokémon just in case.

"Is this the normal temperature here?" Lowe asked Yasha, who was more familiar with the place. The latter shook her head decisively and denied it. "No, although it is hotter than normal, it is definitely not as exaggerated as it is now..."

"Then there really is a problem..."

Lowe still clearly remembered the content on the mural. The God of Earth awakened, and wherever he passed was barren. Even a large number of water and ice Pokémon gathered and were powerless to fight against him. The embodiment of nature was so unreasonable.

However, he is obviously the god of the earth, but it is too scary that wherever he passes, there is only barrenness. But after thinking about it, it seems that there is no problem.

He is the god of the earth, not the god of life or the god of nature. Xerneas, the god of life, is in charge of the growth of all things. Whether the earth is fertile or barren has nothing to do with the earth itself.

...All living things born on the earth are nothing more than "parasites" attached to the God of the Earth. Their life or death, prosperity or decline, have nothing to do with the earth itself.

God or the concept of nature doesn't care about all this, this is God...

...Destruction or prosperity...God doesn't care!

Because of one's own selfish desires, one wants to awaken such an existence and use this power for one's own benefit. I don't know whether to call this idea naive or arrogant.

There is no way. If you have never seen the existence of God with your own eyes, you will not be able to understand that this power is not something that common sense can control. You will think that God is just a Pokémon...

...Since it is a Pokémon, it can be captured!

With such thoughts in mind, it is no wonder that one would attempt to conquer the power of God.

What we are about to face is a group of people who are trying to dominate God. Regardless of whether this idea itself is right or wrong, their various actions to awaken God have already brought a lot of trouble to the entire world.

Lowe stopped moving forward, and Yasha also stopped moving. Only Liliae realized it later and stopped moving halfway.

"what happened?"

“…Here it comes.”

As soon as Lowe finished speaking, he saw figures in red uniforms appearing from all directions...

...Elite members of the Lava Team are here

Chapter 155: Just These Assets

Elite members of the Lava Team have arrived...

Luo Wei took a quick look and saw that there were about 20 to 30 people on the opposite side. He did not see any familiar faces. The two cadres, Huoyan and Huocun, were not present. Naturally, there was no trace of the leader, Chiyansong.

In that case, they are just a group of high-level soldiers. Lowe naturally has no mood to waste time with a group of high-level soldiers.

乸“…Then I’ll trouble you all to turn into experience points obediently~”

As Lowe said this, he wiped his sweat. This place was already a little higher than the middle of the mountain, and the temperature had reached an unreasonable level.

To be honest, rising temperatures can easily make people irritable, and Lowe is a little overwhelmed now.

Not only he couldn't bear it, but Asha couldn't hold it anymore either. She raised her hand and released her lava snail and coal turtle, standing side by side with Lowe's Masked Cat and Gardevoir.

Four Pokémon versus twenty or thirty people on the other side, Lowe is at an overwhelming disadvantage in terms of numbers... but...

...This time we are not in a big cave or some place where we cannot move freely. This is a big volcano in the wild mountains. There are nothing but rocks on all sides. Not even a blade of grass can be seen. Naturally, the environment does not matter.

Yasha grew up and trained in this place. When she closed her eyes, all kinds of memories appeared in front of her. This place was as familiar as her own back garden.

There is no doubt that this can be considered a home game. Since everyone has been released, there is absolutely no need to waste any energy...

"bring it on!"

Meanwhile, at the top of the mountain...

A man in the Lava Team uniform came rushing over and reported a few words to Chiyansong who was staring at the crater in a trance.

"Oh, so... someone has come to the mountain? The gym leader of the Fuyan Town gym, and that kid named Lowe..."

As the gym leader of Asha, Team Magma has arranged special personnel to infiltrate and lurk in Kamuyan Town, so they are quite familiar with Asha's situation.

Yasha's strength can be considered a newcomer among gym leaders. On the one hand, it is because her strength is indeed lower than that of other gym leaders. On the other hand, it is a problem of mentality.

Because of pressure and mentality problems, her strength and potential have not been fully utilized, so it is understandable that she is not as skilled as others.

Of course, this is a good thing for Chi Yansong. At least it is much better than the person standing here being Mikoli, who is his natural counter in terms of attributes and strength, or Qianli, the tough guy.

As for Lowe...

...Qianli's son has already obtained three badges. Of course, if it were only three badges, it would not be a problem for Chiyansong and the cadres of the Lava Team. The problem is that it is said that he obtained these three badges under high difficulty.

In other words, the value of Lowe's three badges is quite amazing, and the fact is that Lowe's hard power at this moment may be stronger than that of his colleague Yasa.

In a sense, Lowe is the main force this time, and Yasha is his collaborator. The only difference is that the alliance is obviously dominated by gym masters.

On the other hand, Chi Yansong also didn't believe that the alliance would only arrange two people to stop him, especially after they had already failed last time.

What's more, apart from the Alliance, Chiyansong still has to face the Ocean Team. Although the Ocean Team and the Alliance are not comparable in terms of hard power, as the saying goes, competitors are enemies. The Alliance is a big company with a lot of things to take care of, and it is impossible to put all its energy on the Lava Team.

Even at this moment, the league still has to worry about various evil organizations in other regions that want to cause trouble. Ever since the Rockets were destroyed, these organizations that were previously low-profile have all emerged.

But it’s different for the Ocean Team. They can use all their assets to disgust the Lava Team, just like the Lava Team can use all their assets to disgust the Ocean Team.

While I was thinking here, I could faintly hear the loud explosion coming from halfway down the mountain. It seemed that Lowe and Yasha were indeed quite irritable.

Those Lava Team elites could be considered as selected masters, elites who stood out from the Lava Team's minions. Although the strength and quality of these minions themselves were very poor, only twenty to thirty people were selected after careful selection.

How to put it? Even in the worst place, you can always pick out some useful talents if you look carefully. Although most of these minions have been screened by the alliance and the talents have basically been picked up long ago, you can still find one or two talents by panning for gold among the remaining people.

Unfortunately, I guess all these talents will be sent away today...

While thinking this, Chi Yansong looked at the two people beside him, a short and fat young man, and a petite girl. The two were the cadres of the Lava Team, Huocun and Huoyan, who had both met Lowe once before.

"...You guys go and help. If you can stop them, then do so. If you really can't, then just delay the time and find a chance to escape."

After all, those dozen elite soldiers would probably all be sent in, and these two cadres were the only ones who could do the work. If more of them were sent in, the Lava Team would almost be disbanded.

Therefore, Chi Yansong's orders to the two were very simple: block if you can, and find a chance to run if you can't, and don't get yourself involved.

"Especially you... Huoyan..."

Chi Yansong was not at all willing to accept Huo Village. This young man had a bad temper and was a fickle person. If the situation was not right, he would run away faster than anyone else.

But Huoyan is different. This seemingly lazy girl is actually a person who cannot control herself once she gets too excited.

"Well, try your best~"

“…This is a totally unreassuring answer.”

Although he still wanted to complain, the two of them had already set off and quickly went down the mountain, and Chi Yansong could only shrug his shoulders helplessly.

Then, he focused his attention on the device beside him.

The meteorite placed inside has already glowed brightly, and a large amount of energy has been extracted from it and injected into the volcano, but it is still not enough...

...The energy injected at this moment is not enough to awaken the sleeping god of the earth under the volcano. More stimulation and more energy are needed.

It was originally estimated that it would take two to three days, but now only one night has passed...

...Of course, considering what he had done, it was reasonable that he would be investigated immediately, so it would depend on his ability from now on.
