Pokémon: I just became a Gym Leader, and Cynthia proposed to me.

Chapter 573 Why is the Flame Body the Sun God?

Yanwu King is quite powerful, especially with that unique Crimson Lotus state he just experienced, which gave him even greater destructive power.

If Blaziken can learn this skill, it will definitely make significant progress.

Cynthia praised, "That state just now gave Blaine's Fire-type Pokémon an ability similar to Blaze."

"If this can be applied to all Fire-type Pokémon, it can effectively increase their combat power ceiling."

Blaine nodded smugly, "That's right, Emboar has the Blazing Fire ability, although my Emboar has the Self-Sacrifice ability."

"But this also makes it easier for Flame King to develop the Crimson Lotus form. Throughout the development process, the basic flame temperature of Flame King will also be increased."

"But overall, developing the Crimson Lotus form actually hindered the normal improvement of Yanwu King's strength. The right choice would have been to only conduct the first half of the training."

"Accelerate the increase in flame temperature and abandon this special form where the input and output are mismatched."

Lorelei raised an eyebrow. "It sounds like this special form is more suitable for Pokémon that improve slowly with regular training and need a new way to enhance their combat power."

Blaine nodded, took out a Poké Ball, and released a Magmortar.

"Duckbill Flame Dragon is my trump card. It was the first one to form the Crimson Lotus state, which significantly boosted the strength of the Duckbill Flame Dragon."

"Furthermore, the Crimson Lotus state of the Duckbill Flame Dragon is different from that of the Flame King."

As he spoke, Xia Bo wanted to show the Duckbill Flame Dragon to Li Shuwen.

Kikuko quickly raised her wooden staff and waved it in front of Blaine. "Stop, I can't take your raging torrents here."

"The temperature is too high, which affects the lives of poisonous creatures and ghosts on the deserted island. They need to show off, so you should find another place first."

Sabrina's eyes flashed with a faint blue light. "Do you need me to use my superpowers to send you to another island for a demonstration?"

Blair nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, I've never experienced what teleportation feels like."

Kikuko waved her hand, "I won't go. I don't like the intense sunlight."

Apart from Kikuko, everyone else was transported by Sabrina's superpowers to another, truly deserted island.

Blaine waved his hand. "Duckbill Flame Dragon, show them your flames."

The duckbill flame dragon nodded, and its body quickly burst into intense golden flames, the terrifying temperature instantly distorting the air.

Everyone unconsciously stepped back.

Li Shuwen released his wave-guiding power to observe the life force activity within the duckbill flame dragon's body.

Indeed, it is different from Flame King. Flame King's Crimson Lotus form seems to have generated a completely new fiery characteristic.

The Crimson Lotus form of the Magmortar is an amplification of the Magmortar's inherent fiery body characteristics.

Seeing the Magmortar in front of him, Li Shuwen could understand why the people of the Unova region revered Volcarona, which also had the Fire Body ability, as the sun god.

Because the current Duckbill Flame Dragon is indeed a small sun that frantically releases light and heat.

The beach beneath the feet of the Duckbill Flame Dragon was rapidly scorched by the intense flames, turning into multicolored glass.

Cynthia narrowed her eyes slightly; the Magmortar in front of her had reached a level where it could fight Garchomp.

Of course, Garchomp does not use Dragon Dance.

Moreover, it only lasted for less than a minute before the aura of the Duckbill Flame Dragon began to decline slightly.

It is still in a static state.

If it were to enter combat, the Rammus's Sun God form would probably only allow it to use its skills three times at most.

Furthermore, it is limited to fire-attribute skills.

Soon, the duckbill fire dragon retracted its light and heat.

Blair sighed, "After two and a half years of hard work, the Duckbill Flame Dragon and I can only achieve this level of Crimson Lotus Form."

Li Shuwen raised an eyebrow and said, "Senior, if you say that my training of Blaziken is an overemphasis on approaching it from the perspective of a fighter."

"So, since you're raising the Magmar too much from a fire-based perspective, perhaps you could try enhancing its physical strength."

"Use a fighter's method to enhance the Magmortar's body, allowing it to unleash stronger and more sustained light and heat."

Blair gasped. "Yes, how come I didn't think of that! Is this the power of the Midas Touch?!"

Li Shuwen said calmly, "No, it's probably just that you rarely communicate with other trainers about Pokémon training."

"If the seniors and Master Shiba were to meet, perhaps they could spark some inspiration."

Blaine laughed. "Are you suggesting I should challenge the Four Heavenly Kings?"

Blaine stroked his chin. "Challenging the Four Heavenly Kings again at my age does sound interesting."

Because of the continuous emergence of new hot springs on Guren Island, Guren Island has completely transformed into a tourist destination.

Challenging the Cinnabar Gym has transformed from a way to hone Pokémon's skills into a tourist attraction.

This severely impacted Xia Bo's retirement life, even forcing him to close down and relocate the Red Lotus Dojo.

Suddenly, Natsume spoke up, "Uncle Chapman, you can go find Uncle Liu. His hairy pig didn't betray him."

"Instead, it is trapped by a cold substance and needs fire to rescue it."

Blair paused for a moment, "Didn't the long-haired pig abandon A-Liu and leave?"

"Why is that?"

Li Shuwen also thought of the anime where Uncle Liu's long-haired pig fell into a valley and was frozen into an ice block while searching for herbs to treat burns.

But he couldn't remember the details, and he didn't know where the long-haired pig was.

Li Shuwen began, "The long-haired pig's behavior must be related to what happened to them back then. If the long-haired pig wasn't abandoned, then why did it go out?"

Blaine began to recall, "I remember that the Duckbill Fire Dragon's attack was very powerful, and it even affected Aryu."

"It was while Ah Liu was recovering from his injuries that the long-haired pig left him."

Cynthia was very perceptive. "Perhaps the departure of the long-haired pig is related to Lyubo's burns."

Sabrina's eyes glowed blue. "My superpowers tell me that Cynthia's deduction is correct."

Blaine's eyes lit up. "That hairy boar went to find herbs to treat burns and got trapped."

"This narrows down the search area, making it much easier to find."

Suddenly, Blair remembered something. "I remember that A-Liu has a disciple who is also a superpowered person. Sabrina, would you like to go and exchange ideas with her?"

"And while you're at it, could you use your superpowers to help me find A-Liu's long-haired pig?"

Naz's eyes lit up with blue light again, after she had foreseen the future and confirmed that this action would be helpful to her growth.

Naz nodded and said, "Okay."

Kona raised an eyebrow. "I'll go with you too. It's perfect timing; I haven't visited Uncle Liu in a long time."

Cynthia also looked nostalgic, "Indeed, back then, facing Phantom's Pokémon, Garchomp and I were really in a tough battle."

Blair smiled and said, "Although Ah Liu has become cold and aloof because of the blow from the long-haired pig, he is actually very willing to mentor talented young people."

"If Shuwen is willing to go, he will definitely learn a lot."

"Among us old folks, Ah Liu is the best at mentoring apprentices."
