Elf: Starting as the Fighting Gym Master, and being entangled by Nancy.

Chapter 52: Honglian Gym is closed?!

"Well, then I'm going to go to Honglian Town to rest first."

Li Xuan responded with a smile.

He thought for a moment and then said, "Miss Kona, do you want to join the group and play?"

"Group? What group?"

Hearing what Li Xuan said, Ke became interested and looked at the phone that Li Xuan handed over.

The screen shows a group chat interface.

There weren't many people inside.

There are only four people here: Red, Green, Mashide, and Cattleya.

They are all Li Xuan’s big bosses.

"???"

When Kona saw the first three big guys there, his first reaction was that someone was cosplaying.

"Master Li Xuan has a really wide network of contacts..."

Kona sighed, exchanged contact information with Li Xuan, and was pulled into the group.

After doing all this, Li Xuan prepared to board Honglian Island.

"There's a volcano on Honglian Island. Do you want to wear some short-sleeved shirts?"

Xiao Lan came over, looked towards Honglian Island not far away, and pointed at the volcanic island.

She was thinking that since Honglian Town was so close to the volcano, she would probably need to wear short sleeves.

"It's hard to say, at least I feel a little cold now."

Li Xuan didn't feel any heat at all.

Maybe it’s because I haven’t landed on the island yet, but I feel the weather is a bit cold.

He was wearing long-sleeved clothes and wanted to wear a cotton jacket.

"Never mind. I heard Honglian Town is famous for its hot springs. Since the weather is so cold, let's go soak in the hot springs there!"

Xiao Lan didn't think too much about it and took a speedboat with Li Xuan to land on Honglian Island.

-

Honglian Town is a small town built on a large island in the Kanto region.

There is a huge volcano on the island, and Kanto's strongest fire gym is also located here.

Before going to visit Xia Bo, Li Xuan wanted to take a walk here.

By the way, I brought some local specialties for the two girls who were guarding the gym.

but……

It seems that there is no special product here except hot springs.

As we approached Honglian Town, the high temperature we had imagined did not come, and the temperature even dropped by a few degrees.

Xiaolan suddenly felt that wearing short sleeves was a wrong choice.

She quickly asked the uncle driving the speedboat: "Uncle, is it always so cold here?"

"Alas, it wasn't like this before."

The man on the speedboat shook his head helplessly: "Looking at you guys, you want to come to Honglian Town to take a hot spring bath, right?"

"Yes, yes, we finally come to Honglian Town, how can we not soak in the hot springs?"

After hearing what the uncle said, Xiao Lan thought something was wrong.

Masaka?!

"What a pity. The temperature in Honglian Town has been so low these past few days that even the lava flowing from the volcano has turned to obsidian and igneous rock."

The speedboat driver just pulled up to the pier and apologized to the two of them. "So if you're thinking of soaking in the natural hot springs, you can just give up on that idea."

"what?!"

Xiao Lan was in tears.

I thought it was a blessing in disguise. If I couldn't go to the Galar region, I could still come to Honglian Town to take a hot spring bath.

The results of it? !

The natural hot springs are gone!
"It can cool down the magma, which is incredible."

Li Xuan's focus was different, and he thought about something else.

The only way to turn magma into obsidian is if the temperature drops within a short period of time.

And the only one that can do this is an Ice-type Pokémon.

Moreover, he is quite powerful.

"It's really terrible. It ruined our hot spring trip..."

Xiao Lan spoke weakly, as if he had lost his soul.

"Forget it, let's go to the island first. If we can't soak in the natural hot springs, there are still artificial hot springs."

Li Xuan didn't care about these.

It’s fun wherever you go?

The same is true for hot springs.

It would be almost the same to build an artificial swimming pool and introduce hot water into it.

"Oh, you don't understand even if I tell you."

Xiao Lan didn't want to explain further: "The hot springs are gone, so coming to Honglian Town is a waste of time." "Fine, at least we'll save some money."

Li Xuan smiled and then asked a passerby for the address of the Red Lotus Gym: "Hello, how do I get to the Red Lotus Gym?"

"Red Lotus Gym? Such a familiar name..."

A passerby stopped and thought for a long time.

"That's the gym owned by Gym Master Xia Bo."

Li Xuan reminded.

"Oh! Old Man Xia's gym! I remember it's in the northeast corner of the town. You can go there and take a look."

"Okay, thank you."

After getting the answer, Li Xuan took Xiao Lan and walked towards the northeast.

……

"It's the off-season, so there aren't many people around."

On the way to the Red Lotus Gym, Xiaolan noticed that the nearby business district was deserted.

There were no hawkers shouting, and no busy restaurants.

But this is normal.

Honglian Town is a small town mainly based on the tourism industry.

Among them, the most famous are the hot springs.

Now that the hot springs are gone, naturally fewer people come.

"Run!"

Just as Xiao Lan was lamenting the small number of people around, a cry of surprise came from a research institute not far away.

Several scientific researchers rushed out of the door and locked it on the spot, as if they were trapping something.

Because of their behavior, the crowd rioted.

Fortunately, since it is the off-season for tourism, there are not many residents on the streets and there is no stampede.

“Hateful!!”

It sounded like the friction of swords, which made people feel a little scared.

Li Xuan frowned and looked in the direction of the voice.

But what I saw was that the gate of a research institute was cut in half as if it was made of paper.

A brown triangular-headed Pokémon with sickle-like hands rushed out of the door and was rampaging on the street.

Pokémon: Scythe Helmet

[Attributes: Rock, Water]

【Level: 42】

[Feature: Broken Armor]

[Skills: Omitted.]

"Fossil Pokémon?!"

Xiaolan's beautiful eyes widened, and she covered her mouth with her hands, her face full of shock.

This fossil Pokémon has been extinct for many years and is no longer found in most places.

As a result, I saw it today.

Moreover, he appeared in an almost crazy manner!
"Seed machine gun."

Li Xuan threw the Parasaurolophus's Poké Ball.

Da da da!
As soon as the Parasol Mushroom appeared, it began to spit out energy seeds one after another, all of which hit the Scythe Helmet.

With the blessing of the "Technical Expert" feature, plus the sickle helmet's four times weakness to grass, it was almost killed with just one hit.

The green light exploded several times, and Scythe Helmet fell down and fainted after the third time.

The battle ended quickly.

"Is this...is this the end?!"

The researchers in the distance noticed this scene, blinked a few times, and were shocked.

This was something that their entire research institute couldn't capture, but it was defeated in one move by a random trainer.

"Hey! Isn't this Pavilion Master Li Xuan?!"

Among the researchers, someone recognized Li Xuan.

"Live stream fans?"

Seeing the man coming, Li Xuan raised his eyebrows.

"Yes! My fan card has reached level six. But you've only been broadcasting for two days. When can you start broadcasting again? Everyone is waiting for you."

The researcher chuckled a few times and blinked, "Master Li Xuan, what brings you to Honglian Town?"

Li Xuan replied: "I came to see Xia Bo and planned to go to the Red Lotus Gym."

"?"

When these words came out, all the researchers were dumbfounded.

Li Xuan's heart skipped a beat: "What's wrong?"

The researcher answered truthfully, "The Red Lotus Gym has been closed for almost a year, ever since that young man named Red came to challenge us."
