An abstract trainer who taught Charmander the Incinerate move

Chapter 314 Reencounter with Yunzhu, Queen Milotic's Plot (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Xiao Huolong felt a blur before his eyes, and the surrounding scenery was peeled away inch by inch like a shattered mirror, only to be reassembled and pieced back together in the next moment.

As its large, Down syndrome-like eyes refocused and it saw its surroundings clearly, a chill emanating from the depths of its blood instantly shot from the tip of its tail to the top of its head!

"Aaaaaah..."

It was currently inside a temple so magnificent that words could hardly describe it.

Below him was a sight that terrified Xiao Huolong—a dense, seemingly endless mass of figures!

The energy fluctuations emanating from these snake-man guards pressed down on the air like a tangible tide, making it difficult for Xiao Huolong to breathe.

In its perception, the strength of these guards was no less than that of the Battle King level experts it knew!
"Red...Red Elder...So many...so many snakes..."

Xiao Huolong's massive body instinctively tried to curl up, wishing he could bury himself in a crack in the ground.

Look at how pathetic you are!

The old man's angry and disappointed scolding echoed in its mind.

They're just a bunch of hybrid snake-people. Stay calm and don't forget our purpose!

Just then, Xiao Huolong's gaze was completely drawn to the scene at the deepest part of the temple, and he could no longer look away.

There, on a colossal throne inlaid with countless deep-sea pearls and golden patterns, a graceful yet majestic figure languidly sat.

That was none other than Queen Minas of the Serpent People—Tangtang Serpent!

Her lower body was the sleek and luxurious body of the Pokémon Milotic, with azure and magenta scales shimmering with a dreamlike luster in the dim light of the temple, and her long tail fins spread out like the finest silk beneath the throne.

However, from her slender waist upwards, she is a completely human female, with skin as white as snow and a curvaceous figure, draped in a layer of light purple gauze as thin as a cicada's wing, barely covering her key parts, yet adding to her infinite allure.

Her face was stunningly beautiful, her eyes possessing a natural allure and the cold authority of someone long accustomed to a high position. Her long, pinkish-blue hair cascaded down like a waterfall, the ends adorned with tiny gemstones that resembled stars.

When Xiao Huolong's gaze fell upon Her Majesty the Queen, the previously dormant Burning Technique Battle Qi within his body suddenly stirred without warning!
In particular, the Lion King's Heart-Burning Flame, which had been refined, surged through the meridians, and an indescribable burning sensation rose from its large stomach, making it feel restless and its fat belly undulated slightly involuntarily.

An instinctive urge made it unable to look away from that perfect, delicate body...

[Hehehe, kid, are you holding back?]

Old Chi's sneer of disappointment and frustration exploded in its mind just in time, like a wake-up call.

[It's just a fancy-looking worm, yet it's made you lose control of the beastly fire within you? Guard your mind and circulate the Burning Flame Technique! If the Lion King's Burning Heart Flame backfires now, you'll instantly turn into a pile of roasted lizard meat. At that point, forget about any other flames, you won't even have any tree fruits to eat!]

Xiao Huolong was startled by the scolding, and a layer of cold sweat instantly appeared on his huge bald head.

It quickly followed the instructions, holding its breath and trying to suppress the surging beast fire and the inexplicable restlessness within its body, feeling extremely fearful.

"Om-"

A scorching and immense pressure descended like a meteor, instantly enveloping the entire temple!

All the snake-man guards paled and gripped their weapons tightly, as if facing a formidable enemy.

The spatial ripples spread out, and two figures became clearly visible.

The leader rode an enormous and exceptionally swift fire moth!
The fire moth spread its three pairs of wings, as if dyeing the sky golden red. The sunspot-like markings on its wings shimmered with divine brilliance, and with each slight flap, it scattered countless warm and vibrant golden fragments of light.

Riding on the back of the Vulcan moth was a tall, robust, red-haired elder.

His hair and beard were as unruly as flames, his face was rugged, and he exuded an imposing aura. He wore a robe specially made by the Alchemist Association, embroidered with golden flame patterns. The hem of the robe fluttered in the hot wind, highlighting his incomparably noble status.

Beside this red-haired elder, half a step back, floated a mysterious figure shrouded in a wide black robe.

The black robe completely concealed her figure and even her face, with only one calm and deep eye peeking out from the shadow of the hood, scanning the area below.

Upon their appearance, the hundreds of King-level snake-man guards within the temple erupted in suppressed gasps and commotion, filling the air with tension and hostility.

Xiao Huolong stared wide-eyed at the majestic red-haired elder in the air, its expression trembling slightly, its huge bald head tilting to one side, revealing a hint of confusion.

"Huh? This red-haired old man... I feel like I've seen him somewhere before?"

It scratched its belly with its paw, trying to search for fragments of memory in its simple mind.

However, the next moment, when its gaze focused on the other party's iconic alchemist robes and the six golden badges on the robes that Xiao Zhi had recently obtained, which were similar in style but infinitely more exquisite and gorgeous, an extremely abrupt "memory" suddenly surged into its mind!
“Ah——!!!”

Xiao Huolong immediately followed the ironclad rules of the Doupo Elf World, taking a deep breath. The loud noise almost gave away Zi Yan, who was standing next to him.

It pointed to the sky with trembling paws and let out a cry of shock and awe.

"Wh...what! It's...it's actually...the Pill King of the Gama Empire—Gudek!!!"

Xiao Huolong's face blindness was at its worst at this moment, and he failed to recognize that this was just Adek who had changed his clothes.

In its understanding, this Master Gudek is the only sixth-grade alchemist in the Gama Empire. His cultivation level has already reached the peak of the Gym Leader level. He is just one step away from stepping into the Elite Four realm that countless trainers dream of. He is a great figure who truly stands at the pinnacle of power and strength in the Gama Empire!

Queen Milotic, the Serpent Queen, seated languidly on her white jade throne, raised her perfect chin with utter languor. Her azure eyes glanced sideways at the uninvited guest in the air, and a mocking and arrogant smile curved her lips.

"Oh? I wonder why the renowned Dan King Gudike has such an interest in trespassing into the forbidden territory of my Snake-People race today? Do you perhaps think that this holy temple is your backyard, where you humans can come and go as you please?"

Upon hearing this, Gudek, who was in the air, forced a slightly formulaic smile, cupped his hands towards the throne, and said in a loud voice.

"Your Majesty Queen Minas, my visit is unintentional and not meant to offend you. It is simply because I have heard that Your Majesty possesses a unique fire born of heaven and earth."

He paused, observing the Queen's expression, and continued.

"Your Majesty is a noble water spirit. This strange fire is not only useless to Your Majesty, but keeping it by your side for a long time may also hinder your cultivation. I am willing to exchange it for a seventh-grade pill—the Transformation Pill. Your Majesty must have heard of the effects of this pill. It can help spirits completely stabilize their human form and perfectly integrate into human society. I wonder what Your Majesty thinks?"

Hearing this from the shadows, Zi Yan curled her lips in disdain and muttered in a voice that only Xiao Huolong could hear.

"Tch, what's so fun about turning into a human? It's so restrictive, you can't even fly freely anymore. I'm looking for a way to turn back into my original form!"

The Tangtang Snake on the throne rolled its eyes at Gudek in the air with a charming expression, its slender fingers gently tapping the armrest of the throne, and spoke slowly but in an unquestionable tone.

"Hmph, a seventh-grade Transformation Pill? That sounds like a good price. But..."

She drew out her words, a hint of mockery and cunning flashing in her eyes, and parted her red lips to utter two words.

"No trade!" Upon hearing this, Gudek's formulaic smile froze instantly, his brows furrowing slightly, clearly surprised by the answer.

He simply couldn't understand why a water-type spirit would so desperately hold onto a strange fire that was harmful to her.

Just as he was pondering, the mysterious man in black robes who had been silent beside him suddenly spoke.

“Master Gu, be careful, this might be a trap. This Queen… seems to have no fluctuations of life energy at all, it feels… very strange.”

Gudek was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. As a top alchemist and trainer, his senses were extremely sharp. After being reminded, he immediately noticed the sense of disharmony, and his expression instantly became serious.

"Could it be that……"

“You’ll know once you try it!”

The woman in black robes acted with extreme efficiency; before she even finished speaking, she had already hurled a high-level ball!

A flash of light, and a massive, ferocious Garchomp appeared in mid-air!
Its massive, scythe-like claws gleamed with a chilling metallic sheen. Without needing any further commands from its trainer, it transformed into a streak of blue lightning, accompanied by a piercing shriek that tore through the air, and slashed down at the languid Milotic Queen atop her throne!

"Be bold!"

"Protect the Queen!"

The snake-men guards below were both shocked and furious, and they all roared, but the Garchomp was too fast (shh!), and they had no time to stop it!

Faced with this sudden and deadly attack, Queen Milotic, Serpent of the Night, on her throne merely let out a cold snort, neither dodging nor evading.

"Pfft——!"

Garchomp's massive claws, powerful enough to split mountains and shatter rocks, struck the Queen's body without hindrance; however, the expected scene of flesh and blood flying everywhere did not occur.

The "Queen's" body, struck by the attack, exploded like a water-filled balloon, turning into a pool of pure water energy that splashed onto the throne!

Water clone?!

Everyone was stunned, including Xiao Huolong and Zi Yan, who were hiding in the shadows.

No one expected that the imposing "Queen Milotic" who had been talking to them for a long time was actually just an avatar formed from water-based fighting spirit!
"Roar--!"

Garchomp let out a low growl of confusion, hovering in mid-air and warily surveying its surroundings.

Looking at the majestic and menacing Garchomp in the sky, Xiao Huolong felt a strange sense of familiarity well up in his heart again, and his huge claws unconsciously scratched his chin.

"Huh? This great white shark... I'm sure I've seen it somewhere before, but I just can't remember..."

Old Chi was speechless at Tang Long's brains and shouted sternly.

[Fool! Sense its aura carefully! The one in the black robe above is Yunzhu, who bestowed upon you the "Extreme Eight Collapses" scroll atop the volcano!]

"Oh—!! (Down syndrome trill)"

Xiao Huolong suddenly realized, and Tang's big eyes shone with gratitude.

"So it was Yunzhu! She gave me the Extreme Eight Collapses that can defeat many bad guys. It is indeed a great opportunity on my path of cultivation!"

Just as Xiao Huolong was feeling emotional, the snake-people below had recovered from their shock.

Her Majesty the Queen was attacked in person, which is a great disgrace to the entire Serpent People!
"Humans! How dare you desecrate the Queen's sacred majesty!"

"Kill them!"

Dozens of snake-man guards at the Dou Wang level unleashed a deafening roar, and powerful Dou Qi light shot into the sky from their bodies, transforming into various terrifying poison, water, and evil-type moves, which poured down on Gu Deke and Yun Zhu in the air like a storm!

"Huh, stubborn!"

Gudek snorted coldly, and the Volcarona beneath him let out a clear and melodious cry. Its three pairs of wings suddenly flapped, and endless golden-red flames swept out, transforming into a huge fire dance storm that burned and evaporated a large number of poison and water-type moves that attacked first!
Yunzhu stood calmly behind Garchomp, waving her slender hand.

Garchomp let out a deafening roar, and ground-type energy gathered wildly around its body before it stomped into the void!
The terrifying shockwaves from the earthquake spread through the air, throwing the snake-man guards rushing down into disarray!
At the same time, its pair of scythe-like claws swung out a series of dragon claw phantoms, tearing apart the attacks that pierced through the fire net!

Inside the temple, the sacred fire of Volcarona and the dragon's might of Garchomp clashed violently with the ferocious attacks of dozens of King Serpents below. The roar of energy explosions and the shockwaves of the colliding battle auras instantly filled the entire space, plunging the scene into an extremely chaotic and fierce battle!
The phantom of Elder Chi, hovering beside Xiao Huolong, spoke with a hint of urgency and allure, which resounded in Xiao Huolong's mind.

[Xiao Huolong, hurry! Queen Tang Tang must be busy with important matters. This is a golden opportunity for us to seize the Strange Flame!]

Xiao Huolong was startled by Chi Lao's sudden shout, its plump body trembling violently. Tang Shi looked around blankly with her big eyes and asked in a muffled voice, full of confusion.

"Oh my god? Elder Chi, but... but where is the strange fire?"

[Fool! Use your Burning Technique to sense it! A different kind of fire is a spiritual treasure of heaven and earth; its aura is incomparable to that of ordinary fire!]

Old Chi scolded him with exasperation, then focused his mind and held his breath. A vast and invisible spiritual power spread out, instantly sweeping across the entire depths of the temple. He pointed excitedly at the deep pool behind the temple.

[Found it! It's right at the bottom of that deep pool! That unique fluctuation of heat containing life... there's no mistake, it's the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame! It's sealed at the bottom of the pool, its violent aura concealed by the cold water!]

At this moment, Zi Yan, who was standing to the side, stamped her foot impatiently and urged him on.

"Hey! Where is this strange fire you mentioned? They've already started fighting, it'll be too late if we don't act now!"

Urged on by Zi Yan, Xiao Huolong hurriedly and clumsily pointed to the bottom of the pool, which was shimmering with a ghostly light, with his thick, radish-like fingers.

"Oh my god! It's...down there! The strange fire is down there! Very, very deep!"

Upon hearing this, Zi Yan didn't say a word, and her slender, fair hand once again accurately grabbed one of Xiao Huolong's thick front paws.

"Hold on tight, fat lizard! I won't be responsible if you fall behind!"

Before she finished speaking, she lightly stomped her other foot into the void, and the power of space around her rippled outwards.

The next second, the figures of the two (dragons) blurred instantly, like ink drops merging into water, and transformed into a streak of light, ignoring the resistance of the pool water, and rushed rapidly towards the dark and cold bottom of the pool.

At the bottom of the deep pool, the scene was both eerie and awe-inspiring.

A massive Milotic, its scales shimmering with iridescent light, was painfully coiled atop a blue lotus flower!
The lotus was not a physical object, but was made entirely of pure blue flames, and the enormous body of the Milotic was completely enveloped by this blue lotus flame!
Seeing this scene, the phantom of the Crimson Elder hovering beside Xiao Huolong showed an expression of extreme shock for the first time under his red hat.

[Ha! So that's how it is! Queen Milotic actually intends to use the power of the strange fire to defy fate, break free from the shackles of her bloodline, and achieve a deeper level of evolution!]
