Chapter 254 Let’s fight, Teacher Lu!
Kanto, Crimson Island.
This large island in the southern part of Kanto has a natural active volcano and hot springs, and is ranked high in the guidebook of "the most worthwhile tourist destinations" in Kanto.
The sea breeze blew towards us, and long-winged gulls flapped their wings and flew over the blue sea.
Lu Ye put down the sightseeing brochure, stood on the deck and looked into the distance. The green island on the horizon was already looming.
Buzz——
Chihong: Teacher Lu, Xiao Huang and I have already arrived at Honglian Island!
Looking at the message sent by Chihong, Teacher Lu was slightly stunned.
Is it great to have flying elves?
You still need me to be your emotional mentor!
Having said that... I always feel that Chihong is still very good at dealing with Shura on the field.
Lu Ye pondered for a moment and glanced to his side.
The fairy Eevee with snow-white fur, its ribbon fluttering in the sea breeze, its bow swaying slightly, and its deep blue eyes showing an expectant look.
A long whistle sounded.
Tourists left the deck one after another.
Lu Ye patted Fairy Eevee's little head and smiled slightly.
"Come on, let's go to the hot springs!"
"Bu, Bu Yi~(ω)"
Although winter has arrived, the temperature on the volcanically active Honglian Island is quite warm.
As soon as you get off the port, you can see many hotel waiters holding signs and soliciting customers.
There are tourist shops on both sides, and tourists wearing kimonos and Alola shirts are everywhere along the way.
Teacher Lu was carrying a suitcase, and Fairy Eevee was walking gracefully beside him, with a ribbon lightly wrapped around his arm.
Gengar and Squirtle, wearing sunglasses and floral shirts, followed behind.
Caterpie was carrying Togepi and running excitedly in front. Lu Ye said helplessly:
"We went to the wrong place, the resort is over there!"
“Ouch~”
There are many resort hotels on Honglian Island, and even a high-end hotel controlled by Team Rocket.
However, since he had an appointment with Chihong this time, Teacher Lu still followed the address and went to a hot spring resort in a secluded part of the town.
What appeared before our eyes was a row of simple wooden bungalows.
"Pikachu~~"
When the curtain was opened, two Pikachus were seen fighting with each other in the hotel lobby. The difference between the male and female could be distinguished by their tails.
Lu Ye was looking at it curiously when he heard Tokiwa Clove's greeting.
"Teacher Lu, this way!"
Xiao Huang specially changed into a light-colored bathrobe and let her ponytail hang down. She seemed to be not used to this outfit and looked a little shy.
Beside him, a black-haired young man in dark clothes stretched out his hand with a smile.
"Teacher Lu, please take care of me."
Lu Ye was slightly startled, and suddenly realized that the person in front of him was the legendary strongest trainer.
The fighter is red!
Lu Ye and Tokiwa Clove had met before, but this was the first time he met Chihong.
Chi Ye did not wear the classic red and white suit, but chose a bathrobe style similar to Xiao Huang.
Upon closer inspection, the black-haired young man's eyes revealed a gentle look, yet still had a restrained edge.
Lu Ye shook hands with some emotion.
"Senior Chihong, I have long heard of your great name!"
One year after debut, he wiped out Team Rocket, defeated the Four Heavenly Kings, and won the Kanto Championship...
This is a unique protagonist panel, even Xiaozhi has to admit defeat.
However, due to a wrist injury, Crimson withdrew from the world championship in recent years, which is undoubtedly a regrettable thing.
Despite this, Red is still recognized as a legendary trainer by the world!
While Lu Ye was looking at Chi Hong, Chi Hong was also observing Teacher Lu.
From the initial substitute poison to the recent hypnosis tactics.
Teacher Lu at least has the ability to compete with the top players.
In the regular competition, he tied with Yulongdu, and in the open competition, he defeated Professor Oak...
This kind of strength and performance is completely worthy of the title of "Picture Book Holder".
This also made Chihong feel a little more familiar with Teacher Lu.
"Just call me Xiao Chi."
Chihong scratched his head and laughed like a big boy.
"Come to think of it, I should thank Teacher Lu for this trip."
"Hey, thank me for what?"
Chi Hong looked at her wrist and said apologetically, "I'm really sorry to trouble you by making a special trip to Honglian Island."
"Aha, these are the little things."
Lu Ye complained in his heart, I can’t say that I came here just to eat melons.
"I came to Honglian Island just for the sake of convenience!"
Tokiwa Clove blinked her eyes and said, "Teacher Lu came to Honglian Island... Is there anything else important?"
Chihong thought for a moment and suddenly said "Oh".
"You are here to challenge Mr. Xia Bo, right?"
Chihong also heard the news that Mr. Lu challenged the Kanto Alliance.
For a trainer as powerful as Mr. Lu, the gym leaders will surely fight him with all their strength.
Mr. Xia Bo at full strength...
The images of Mewtwo and Entei flashed through Chihong's mind, and he suddenly smiled.
Teacher Lu...is indeed very confident in his own abilities!
Lu Ye was slightly startled and his expression became a little strange.
Challenge Xia Bo?
In the special episode, Xia Bo has a close relationship with Mewtwo and Entei.
If he pulls out his big treasure Mewtwo, then I’m done for!
"Forget about the gym challenge..."
Lu Ye coughed lightly: "I just want to take a hot spring bath."
"Mr. Xia Bo, it seems that he is not available for the time being."
Tokiwa Clove thought for a moment and said, "He asked us to come to the hot spring first, but he didn't even say when we could see him."
Chi Hong: "Maybe he is busy with research. Let's not disturb Mr. Xia Bo."
Chang Pan Ding Xiang nodded obediently, looked at Lu Ye, and said seriously:
"If Mr. Lu has other important matters, you don't have to worry about us. I will take good care of Senior Chi!"
You obviously want to drive me away!
Lu Ye complained in his heart, but he really didn't intend to be a light bulb forever.
It is worth traveling with the little ones and taking a hot spring bath at the same time.
"Then after we finish the hot springs, I'll go take care of my personal business."
Lu Ye looked at the two of them: "What are your plans for later?"
The two of them looked at each other without any agreement.
Chihong asked tentatively: "Go find a gym and train some Pokémon?"
Teacher Lu: …
What the hell is a question sentence?
You're out taking a hot spring bath with a girl, and you're actually thinking about training elves?
Isn't it possible to let the elves handle the training themselves?!
"I just saw it in town. There's an open-air cinema in the evening."
Teacher Lu hinted wildly, "After the show, we can come back to soak in the hot springs, have a midnight snack, etc... What do you two think?"
"Teacher Lu wants to go to the movies with me?" Chihong was surprised.
“Pika!”
In the hot spring hall, Pikachu, who was playing with his wife, fell headfirst to the floor.
The master’s emotional intelligence…is totally hopeless!
Lu Ye was also speechless.
Sure enough, I have to be more direct...
"I won't go. You and Xiao Huang can go alone. I have to go... um..."
Teacher Lu frowned and thought, then suddenly his eyes lit up.
"I have to go to the gym and it's inconvenient for others to watch!"
Found a decent excuse.
Teacher Lu couldn't help but give himself a thumbs up in his heart.
Could this be... the legendary quick thinking?
"Really?" Chihong nodded in understanding.
Some trainers do not like others to be around because of their own tactics or command style.
Especially in a gym battle, which is a personal challenge, it is very likely that the trump cards prepared for use in the competition will be brought out.
It is also impolite to watch other people's fights without permission.
"Then I won't bother Mr. Lu anymore."
Chihong smiled and said, "After we finish the hot springs, Pica and I will go to town to watch a movie."
Mr. Lu & Tokiwa Clove: ???
Fortunately, in critical moments, the emotional intelligence of the fighters was always revealed.
Chihong turned around and said, "Xiao Huang, do you want to go with me?"
Changpan Lilac's face turned red, she twisted her sleeves with her hands, and nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
"Yeah... OK."
Just as Teacher Lu breathed a sigh of relief, Chihong looked outside.
"Anyway... there's still some time before the sun sets."
Chihong flexed his wrist and said with a hearty smile:
"Teacher Lu, let's have a battle!"
"ha?!"
Although he was smiling, his red and stern eyes still conveyed a strong desire to fight.
If he hadn't been wearing the red and white suit, Lu Ye suspected that Chihong had already made his signature "hat brim pressing" move.
Fortunately, Teacher Lu was professionally trained and calmed down and was about to refuse.
Xiao Huang yelled, “No!”
"Eh?" Chihong's expression froze for a moment.
"Senior, you are already an adult, why can't you take care of yourself?"
Xiao Huang puffed up his face like a hamster and said angrily:
"I came out here to heal my wounds. What if my old injuries relapse after fighting with Teacher Lu?"
I beat Chihong so hard that his old injury relapsed?
Lu Ye opened his mouth.
I thought to myself that Red didn't need to do anything, and if Pikachu alone went ahead, I would probably be killed.
Unexpectedly, Chihong frowned and fell into deep thought.
“That’s right…”
Chihong knew how strong Mr. Lu was.
If I fight him, I might really ignore my old injuries and fight with all my strength.
But in this case... this trip to Honglian Town to heal the wounds would be meaningless.
"So!"
Tokiwa Clove said in a slightly heavier tone: "Senior Aka, don't just ignore everything when you meet a strong enemy."
"It's better to recuperate and wait until you recover before inviting Teacher Lu to fight!"
Chihong thought for a moment and sighed.
"I'm sorry...I was negligent."
If you can't try your best...
It is also a form of disrespect for a trainer of Mr. Lu’s strength.
Xiao Huang is right... After you recover, it won’t be too late to invite Teacher Lu to fight in Baiyin Mountain!
Looking at the couple singing the same tune.
Lu Ye was full of questions.
Having said that, although I avoided being abused...
But why do I always feel sour?
"Can't we use the Flame Emperor's flame to heal our wounds?"
Lu Ye suddenly remembered something.
"Mr. Xia Bo, you recovered with the help of the fire of life, right?"
The two looked at Teacher Lu curiously, as if they were surprised as to why he knew this secret.
But on second thought, as a fellow owner of the illustrated book, it makes sense for Mr. Lu to know this matter.
"In theory, it is possible..."
Chihong smiled a little embarrassedly.
“In fact, the injuries left by the ice doll have almost healed with the help of Emperor Yan.
"It's mainly muscle strain. I can only rely on hot springs and my body to slowly recover..."
"Muscle strain?"
"Senior Chi throws Poké Balls thousands of times every day."
Tokiwa Clove complained: "With such a heavy workload... it would be strange if the wrist injury could heal!"
"Hahaha, not many times. Ajin would come to practice with me occasionally!" Chihong laughed.
"I'm not praising you at all!" Xiao Huang blushed.
Teacher Lu couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
As the "strongest champion", Red also shoulders many unexpected responsibilities.
He is also one of the few reliable seniors in the group!
"For actual combat, forget it."
Lu Ye opened the hotel manual, which recorded the various furnishings in the room.
"How about... playing Pokémon Battle?"
…
It's getting dark.
The courtyard has winding paths and there is an open-air hot spring in the backyard, with the sound of gurgling water.
In the attic near the corridor, Chi Hong and Teacher Lu were concentrating on a simulated battle.
Xiao Huang was wearing a bathrobe with her orange ponytail hanging down. She sat upright on the floor, looking around.
In the end, the picture froze at the score of 6:5.
"I'm still a little uncomfortable not being able to fight with the elves."
Chihong smiled with emotion and lay on the floor with his arms and legs spread.
"I lost to you, Mr. Lu."
"Because it's a simulated battle."
Lu Ye handed a can of hot coffee to Chihong.
"This time I'm lucky for once."
"Thank you."
Chihong took the coffee without any unhappiness in her heart.
Professor Oak is right, each Pokédex holder has different talents and abilities.
Just like in the field of hatching, Chihong is inferior to Ajin.
In the simulated battle that focuses more on lineup and tactics, Mr. Lu does have the advantage.
but.
Red held the hot coffee and looked at Gengar and Sylveon beside him.
In just half a year, Teacher Lu has cultivated them to this level.
Even Green...maybe it can't do better.
He opened the can of coffee with a click, and a smile appeared on his red face.
I’m looking forward to the day when I will fight against Teacher Lu!
