Pokémon: Rise of Evil

Chapter 213 Yanmo City

Afterwards, with the concerted efforts of Shota and Zapdos, Yusa gradually came to believe that what had happened before was all a misunderstanding.

"In that case, Führer, I should be able to address you as such, can you allow me to join the organization?"

Shota rubbed his chin, as if considering it.

Yusa looked at Shota's serious words and clenched her hands together as if she was praying that she would be accepted into the organization.

"Yes, but you have to complete the test given to you by the organization first."

"What test? Tell me."

Looking at Yusa who was almost getting close to his face, Shota coughed lightly.

Yusha seemed to realize that her behavior was a little too intimate, and quickly took a few steps back.

Shota also took this opportunity to use his super powers to deliberately trip her feet.

Then, we can see the plot in the romance novel: Shota puts one arm around Yusa's slender waist and looks into her eyes.

After feeling that the time was about right, Shota straightened Yusa and said, "The test you have to accept is to protect the blue crystal under the lake. Of course, if others need help, you can let their electric Pokémon soak in the water here."

Shota looked at Yusa who was fiddling with her fingers with her head down, and guessed that she was already daydreaming about something else, a smile of triumph appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Then, Shota waved his hand in front of Yusa's eyes and said, "Do you understand the test?"

It seemed that the light in her eyes had changed. Yusha half-wittedly reacted. Looking at Shota with a serious face, she felt the unknown softness coming from him. She raised her head and lowered it again, whispering: "I know, I know, I know."

In order to ensure that there were no omissions in the plan, Shota seemed to sigh helplessly and said, "Then repeat it again."

"Protect the blue crystal at the bottom of the lake. If anyone needs help, help as much as possible."

It seems that this guy still has some brains, Shota thought to himself, while touching her hair with his hand and said: "You must complete the test, Zapdos will be responsible for supervising you, remember not to be lazy, I look forward to the day when you pass the test."

"Yes! Führer."

After saying these words, Shota left without looking back, leaving Yusa standing there in a daze. No one knew what she was thinking, she just kept smiling foolishly.

……

Yanmo City, a quiet mountain city, is located in the northeast corner of the Johto region. Trainers who come here usually challenge Xiaochun to obtain the Dragon Rising Badge. Xiaochun and her brother Adu are both from here. Because of the existence of the Dragon Cave, most trainers who come here are good at using Dragon-attribute Pokémon.

In the anime: Smoke City first appears in Tsubaki and Dratini!, where Ash and his friends help Tsubaki's Dratini shed her skin. In the next episode, Ash and Tsubaki's gym battle is interrupted by Team Rocket stealing the Dragon Fang. They go to the Dragon Sanctuary and recover the Dragon Fang. In Smoke Gym! The Last Badge!!, Ash defeats Tsubaki and gets the Rising Dragon Badge.

And the purpose of Shota's coming to Yanmo City this time is not only to get the last badge - the Rising Dragon Badge, he also wants to borrow the so-called Dragon's Fang.

The first appearance of Dragon's Fang in the anime is in Tsubaki and Dratini!, where Tsubaki has to perform an annual ritual to purify Dragon's Fang. This Dragon's Fang is Tsubaki's family treasure and is kept in the Smoky Gym. According to the anime, Dragon's Fang is the tooth of a Dragon-type Pokémon that attacked Smoky City in ancient times. The ritual to purify Dragon's Fang is to bring peace to all Dragon-type Pokémon.

As he was thinking about it, Shota saw Yanmo City not far away from him through the clouds.

Under Shota's command, Lugia flapped his huge wings vigorously once again. The huge sound of breaking through the air carried the scattered clouds, which seemed to foreshadow the arrival of outsiders in Yanmo City.

In a secluded forest, after collecting Lugia into the Poké Ball, Shota used instant teleportation to quickly head to the Smoky Gym.

Under the guidance of an old waiter named Kabu, Shota soon met Xiaochun, the master of the Yanmo Gym.

Xiaochun is the gym leader of the Yanmo Gym in Yanmo City, Johto. She is proficient in Dragon-attribute Pokémon and is in charge of the Rising Dragon Badge. She is the cousin of Champion Adu.

In the game: Xiaochun and the champion Adu are from the same dragon master clan. Xiaochun is confident in her ability as a trainer and calls herself the best dragon master in the world. She also dares to fight against the Four Heavenly Kings, and her known defeat was only against the current champion Adu. Xiaochun has been training in the dragon cave since she was a child.

In the Pokémon Special: Xiaochun is the gym leader of the Smoky Ink Gym. She holds a whip in her hand and often uses it to catch or attack trainers. She has always been concerned about her missing cousin Adu, because Xiaochun and Adu had a deep bond when they were children, but later Adu left his hometown.

Looking at this mature woman with long blue hair, wearing a cloak in broad daylight, and a white transparent orb on her chest, I guess this person must be Xiaochun.

Tsubaki makes her first appearance in Tsubaki and Dratini! When Satoshi and his friends are on their way to the Smoky Gym, they find a Dratini by the river. Tsubaki shows up and stops Gyarados from attacking Satoshi and his friends because they want to get close to Dratini. After the misunderstanding is resolved, Tsubaki tells Satoshi and his friends that she sent Gyarados to protect Dratini.

At this time, Dratini starts to move, and Tsubaki and Gyarados start chasing it. Kabu chases Tsubaki and urges her to participate in the Dragon Fang Extraction Ceremony held according to the custom of the Smoke and Ink Gym. Only then do Xiaozhi and others know that Tsubaki is the Gym Leader of the Smoke and Ink Gym.

Xiaochun continued to follow Dratini and encountered the three members of Team Rocket who wanted to capture Dratini. Xiaochun's Gyarados successfully defeated them.

At this time, Kabu also caught up with Xiaochun and continued to persuade Xiaochun to perform the promotion ceremony, but Xiaochun said that the mini dragon needed to save energy to prepare for molting, so protecting it was more important and continued to move forward.

At this time, Dratini came to a river bank with scorched rocks. Xiaochun had to take back Gyarados and accompany Dratini alone. The stubborn Rocket trio was still watching Xiaochun from a distance. When Dratini was resting, Xiaochun shared the rice balls she made to keep following Lost with Xiaozhi and others and Kabu. Although they were made roughly, they tasted good. At this time, Xiaozhi mentioned the gym challenge. Xiaochun agreed when she saw that Xiaozhi had seven badges.

Then, Xiaozhi and the others talked about Adu with Xiaochun and Kabu. Xiaochun told Xiaozhi and the others that Adu had trained with him in the Yanmo Gym before, and said that he was looking forward to having a gym battle with someone who knew Adu. Suddenly, Musashi and Kojiro, disguised as an old couple, approached Dratini. Xiaochun asked them to keep their voices down so as not to disturb Dratini, but they didn't know that they were Team Rocket and caught Dratini while Xiaochun was careless and ran away on a balloon. Xiaochun immediately chased them and moved easily between trees like a savage.

Standing on a tree, Xiaochun saw the balloon of Team Rocket's trio fall to the riverside, so she rushed over and sent out Gyarados to easily defeat Kojiro's Gyrocopter. After Xiaozhi and the others arrived, they also sent out Pikachu to help, but its moves were rebounded by Goron's Double Return. When the rebounded moves were about to accidentally hit Dratini, Xiaochun rushed forward and blocked the damage with her body, which moved Dratini to evolve into Dragonite. The evolved Dragonite knocked Team Rocket away, and Xiaochun realized that Dratini was accumulating energy in order to evolve.

The evolved Dratini continued to move forward and came to the source of the river of the Smoky Lake, so Xiaochun performed a ceremony to promote Dragon Fang. In the ceremony, Xiaochun summoned the Dragon of Light to fly into the sky to bless all dragon-attribute Pokémon. After the ceremony, Xiaochun and Xiaozhi agreed to a gym battle.

This is why Shota wants to get the Dragon's Fang.
