Chapter 471 The tacit understanding with Lance

...

Get out of the dead volcano.

Natsu held a calm Poké Ball in one hand and a calmer Fossil Egg in the other, feeling lost.

He didn't know if he made a profit or loss this time.

He always felt like he was making money, but he also felt like he wasn't making much money either.

Take a deep breath.

"Forget it, just do a good deed."

"Bart—"

Dragapult's slightly embarrassed voice sounded behind Natsu.

Nor did she know that Volcarona would turn back into a cocoon and fall asleep.

Luckily, the Volcarona was quite scalable and didn't wrap around the piece of Primal Groudon's carapace that Natsu ended up getting.

Otherwise, Natsu will have to forcefully break the cocoon.

But it is not without advantages.

At least, Natsu could clearly feel the relationship between Dragapult and him, more intimate.

Enough is enough.

If the fossil egg really could be resurrected, he would get a lot.

After he came out from inside the dead volcano, the sky brightened again.

Stretching his body that made a "crackling" sound.

After entering this different space, he always felt that every day was so long, and every day there would be too many things.

"It's almost here, go back and wait for the Alliance to enter, then finish this trial, I'm really tired." Natsu shook his head and said somewhat tiredly.

Double fatigue of body and mind.

The Pokemon should be pretty much the same.

The rope is so tight that it will break if the diq goes down any further, so it's time to loosen it up.

Throw the Poke Ball to summon Yanmega, step on him, move towards the Vigoroth Territory and fly away.

The thigh was finally found.

Natsu is finally able to live a comfortable life hugging his thighs.

Even if it's only a few days away.

Vigoroth Forest.

Natsu falls all the way down, summons Kadabra, and Teleports back to the temporary gathering place.

As soon as he appears.

He suddenly felt the atmosphere, a little dignified.

He didn't know the reason, but he felt like something was off.

Lance, Lorelei, Roxanne.

As his eyes moved, he immediately discovered the presence of another person.

Shirona!

Steven!

They all also saw Natsu who suddenly appeared.

Welcome.

"You guys, when did you come?"

Natsu remembers that when he left during the day, he didn't see the shadows of the two, and didn't even find any trace of them.

"I saw your mark and followed it all the way," explained Steven.

Shirona also nodded.

Before Natsu, every day everyone kept moving forward in one direction and leaving a mark. Although the probability of finding others was not high, the probability of being discovered by others was still very high.

Very good.

All three thighs are present.

"What about them?" Natsu pouted in confusion.

Lance leaned awkwardly against a tree, and Lorelei and Roxanne stood together with anger on their faces.

Speaking of them, Steven and Shirona's faces also showed a hint of embarrassment.

Steven took a step closer to Natsu and said in a low voice "Natsu, did you tell Lance that Lorelei's power is strong?"

He mentioned this, and Natsu vaguely guessed what happened and why.

"But my original words were 'Lorelei is very strong, but lacks field experience'." Natsu emphasized.

He was right, Lorelei was very strong, if he met Lorelei in the game, it was hard to tell who won and who lost.

"To go fight with Lorelei."

At this time, Shirona also spoke up.

"So?"

"Lorelei lost, to Lance's Charizard." Shirona answered.

Lost?

Isn't losing normal?

moreover how Fire Type Charizard, has restraint on Ice Type Pokemon, Fire Type Pokemon can also do a lot of damage to Ice Type Pokemon.

Right now Lorelei has yet to discover the essence of an Ice-Type Pokémon.

"Isn't it normal to win or lose?"

Natsu said that, but he never accepted Lance, Steven and Shirona's invitation to fight.

A battle you know you will lose is meaningless.

"Cough, Lance's hands are a little heavier." Steven lowered his head and coughed softly, covering his mouth with his hand and whispering.

Natsu was taken aback.

Now he understood the whole process.

In fact, he understood why Lorelei was so angry.

Being cruel is one thing.

But Lorelei, as a top student at the Silver Academy, had never played against someone ruthless, and shouldn't have been too weak in her ability to accept.

Winning and losing is also a common thing. The last time Lorelei lost many times to Natsu was in a battle simulation. Despite Natsu's disgusting tactics, he never saw Lorelei become so angry.

In the final analysis, it was because of the identity of the two.

Lorelei was a well-known figure from the current Kanto Region academy faction, and she wasn't even a leader.

Lance was one of the representatives of the battle faction among the Kanto Region's younger generation.

These two factions had a lot of competition in the Kanto Alliance.

Due to their final result of the competition, this may be related to the future Alliance-wide training policy for all Region youth Trainers.

Whether to take the Academy faction to upgrade steadily, or go to the actual combat travel faction, billowing waves wash the sand.

Lorelei lost to Lance, and when Lance wasn't serious, in Lorelei's view, the academy faction she represented was at a disadvantage, and she was a disgrace to the academy faction.

This was not anger at Lance, it was more anger that her own strength was inferior to that of others.

Incidentally the culprit turned out to be a punching bag.

"We don't know Lorelei that well, why don't you lighten the mood?" Shirona looked at Natsu.

"I'm not." Natsu shook his head firmly, ignoring Shirona's eyes.

Just kidding, that's the center of the storm now.

What if someone leaked the word, and the reason why he challenged Lorelei was because of one of his words.

What if Lorelei pointed the finger at him?

He didn't want to mess with anyone.

Shirona pushed Natsu away, and said slightly angry, "Let's hurry!."

In such an atmosphere, no one is comfortable staying.

The only thing that can be relieved now is Natsu.

Natsu was the first to see Shirona make such an expression.

After getting used to it, Shirona gradually took off her "don't let strangers in" coat.

Shirona was a very slow person, and the kind of spontaneous familiarity with Lance was really two extremes.

Natsu raised his hand and chose to surrender.

"Good."

He looked at Lorelei, then at Lance, and after some thought and familiarity he decided to get off to a good start.

Go to Lance.

Natsu looked at Lance with an embarrassed expression, and when he saw Natsu, it was like seeing a savior, so he hurriedly greeted him.

"Natsu."

Hardly said the word "help me".

Natsu couldn't help but laugh, but luckily he held it in.

Approached Lance and he asked in a low voice "Why did you take such a heavy hand? She's a girl, so leave it alone."

But he heard Lance say: "But she is strong. It's so strong, if I quit, I'll lose."

The answer is very sincere and reasoned, that's what it means.

Seeing Lance's approving gaze, he gave a thumbs up.

Very good.

For this answer, straight men should get full marks.

Staring at him angrily.

"Does your cousin usually call you 'stupid'?"

"Not." Lance looked at Natsu in surprise, "Why do you ask that?"

Claire is too accommodating of a straight and "spoiled" male temperament.

For Lance, life is training, fighting and missions. How can there be so much time to be in a female relationship.

It's too complicated, not as simple as brothers and friends.

Natsu sighed, "Okay."

"Natsu, help me to apologize?" Lance said.

"Why don't you go alone?"

Immediately Lance shook his cloak helplessly, and there were still a few ice crystals left on it.

Obviously eaten cold shoulder a few times.

"What are the benefits?" asked Natsu again.

Hearing this, Lance hesitated slightly, then raised his head with a smile: "Three months, in three months, I will not challenge you."

Implications.

If Natsu does not agree, and Lance will continue to challenge him.

Natsu looked at Lance, with a slightly joking smile.

Study is broken.

This really sucks.

This is no longer the simple "dodo" it used to be.

In turn, Natsu is given a Struggle.

"At least half a year."

"Agreed!"

"."

'I fooled.'

Natsu hesitated, After thinking those words, and walked towards Lorelei.

After a few days of hanging out, Lorelei and Roxanne's relationship became very harmonious.

Lapras, who was guarding Lorelei's side, saw Natsu approaching but he recognized Natsu and didn't attack.

And Lorelei and Roxanne naturally saw Natsu coming.

After hanging out in the past few days, they knew Natsu quite well, and they got to know him better.

"Natsu, that man bullied Lorelei!" Roxanne immediately said.

Like a student complaining to the teacher.

"Cough cough, Lorelei, Lance told me to express his apologies."

Natsu conveyed exactly what Lance wanted to say.

Natsu saw Lorelei raise her head, and under the thin lens, the originally bright and calm almond eyes were slightly reddened, and the usual gentleness was slightly softer.

Under Lorelei's gaze, Natsu stopped and his heart trembled.

You will suffer.

Lorelei who looked at Natsu, bit her lip and said slowly, "Senior Natsu, teach me!"

"Okay."

Lance's problem is over, right?

This time, Lorelei requests Help.

So why would you want to be an intermediary?

Fortunately, Lance and Lorelei's 100 million "little" conflicts have been put aside for now.

In the final analysis, the root cause of this situation was not Natsu, but the two faction Alliance series.

Even without Natsu, Lance and Lorelei would fight sooner or later, and Lorelei's chances of losing were greater, and the result is almost the same as now.

A blazing bonfire blazed.

A small group of six people sat around a bonfire.

Volcarona's behavior last night directly caused Pokemon and Trainers in different space to have major problems with their biological clocks.

Especially Natsu, who didn't sleep all night, even a Psychic, he was feeling tired right now.

Lance, Natsu and Steven sat on one side, Shirona, Lorelei and Roxanne on the other.

Several people did not speak, silently watching the fire jump over the fire star.

The atmosphere was completely calm.

It wasn't deep hatred, it was just that the faction had influenced the minds of the two people.

They are all waiting.

Waiting for a response from the Alliance.

Lance had provided the Alliance with information as Natsu wanted, about Team Magma's withdrawal, and about the Primal Groudon Carapace Fragment in Courtney's hands.

Unfortunately, Courtney is dead in Volcarona's "Fiery Dance", which ends up draining his life energy. Team Magma, now in a different space, should be as chaotic as a headless dragon.

And Natsu wanted to see what happened to the Alliance.

Let Team Magma go, or be prepared to do your best to prepare them.

"Natsu, what did you say to Lorelei?"

While waiting, Lance couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"I just apologized on your behalf, Lorelei has forgiven you." Natsu tilted his head and said.

Lorelei wasn't angry at Lance at first, Lorelei was only angry because she wasn't strong enough, Lance was a pond fish that was affected, but by a blazing fire.

"Is it right?"

Lance looked up, saw Lorelei staring at the fire, playing with the branches in her hands, looking icy cold.

Is this really an appearance of forgiveness?

But it's definitely not as hostile as it once was.

"What did she tell you?"

"It's nothing, he just wants to communicate more and learn more in the future."

Lance who heard this, seemed to have no problem, and replied "it's okay."

Natsu nodded "That's it."

Very good.

Not much "communication", how can the Kanto Region keep the name of the strongest Region?

Back to topic.

"Has there been any news?"

Lance laughed helplessly, "I don't know if it came out smoothly."

Explosion--

Suddenly.

The sound of battle came from a distance.

Hearing the movement, they all stood up.

Natsu and Lance glanced at each other, "Let's see."

Then the two quickly moved towards where the voice came from.

Not long.

Both can see the source of the sound.

A group of Team Magma members are battling Vigoroth.

And judging from the battle situation, Vigoroth had fallen at a loss. There are a lot of people in Team Magma. They hunted Vigoroth and searched for some resources in Vigoroth's territory.

Even Slaking was surprised, but the speed of Slaking's arrival was indeed a bit slow.

Seeing this scene, Natsu and Lance frowned.

"Team Magma messed up?"

"Didn't Courtney conquer Volcarona?"

The information of the two is not the same, but the guesses are similar.

It's just that Natsu makes sure Courtney is dead, and Lance is only guessing Courtney's situation.

Without Courtney, several Executives disagreed with each other, and Maxie's orders could no longer be passed on. They don't know when to leave, and they begin to take advantage of the time to search for resources and Pokémon.

So this group of members of Team Magma are aiming for the enormous population of Vigoroth, which is probably a lot of resources in this huge area.

Watched Vigoroth fall.

Seeing this situation, this group of nearly ten Magma Teams would soon see traces of Natsu and the others' activities.

"Are you still able to fight?" Lance asked Natsu, staring at several members of Team Magma with burning eyes.

After he infiltrated Team Magma, he saw too many images he didn't want to see, but for the sake of the situation and overall intelligence, he didn't act.

But now, having lost his identity as Team Magma, he naturally assumed the duties of an investigator.

Natsu, who understood Lance's meaning, didn't answer, and said directly:

"I will help, you will attack."

"Okay."

Needless to say, the two threw several Poké Balls at the same time, summoning their own Pokemon.

Even though they had not fought together for a long time, their tacit understanding, their combat experience, and their acknowledgment and understanding made their cooperation familiar.

The two work together again.

Charizard, Gyarados, Aerodactyl, Dragonair, Seadra, are now Lance's five main Pokémon.

Overall, Pokemon said "Dragon".

Natsu summons Beedrill, Kadabra, Togetic, Doublade, and Cherrim.

With a total of ten to both against tens of Team Magma members on the opposite side.

But the results are already visible.

Kadabra and Togetic played control, Beedrill played harvest, Doublade took over defense, and Cherrim provided BUFF and medical treatment.

To command five Pokemon at the same time, although not exactly one command, but enough to deal with Team Magma.

And Lance became more and more excited, and the smile on his face never disappeared.

Fighting with Natsu, his senses were very comfortable.

He just needed to show off his powerful attack power and destructive power to his heart's content, and he didn't have to worry about the rest.

After Togetic controls the enemy, Gyarados will take advantage of the situation to play damage, even if the opponent does not lose his combat ability, Beedrill is ready to harvest it.

Kadabra uses Psychic Terrain, Teleport, and Ally Switch to further maximize flexibility and tactical use.

Cherrim's "Flower Gift" Traits greatly increase the team's attack power, and push the team to extremes.

Most of these Pokemon are very good at physical attacks, so the boosting effect is very obvious.

Beedrill really became a killer, and wherever he went, the enemy had to fall.

The two most important trainers are Natsu and Lance.

They both know very well what to do when, and they don't even need to communicate verbally.

Natsu thought that if he played bot lane with Lance, he should be able to kill him.

The process of ending the battle was much simpler and faster than they expected.

With all the members of Team Magma down, Lance had a sense of unfinished business.

"It has been a long time since I fought comfortably." Lance sighed.

"Let's think about what to do next, Team Magma is messed up, and maybe the Pokemon here and some of the other Trainers will suffer." said Natsu.

hearing this, Lance also put away his excitement, and his expression became a little dignified.

Lance thinks Team Magma is leaving and it's over.

Lance never knew a change like this would happen.

"Go back and tell everyone this news and see what everyone thinks."

With the strength of these six people, as long as they are not Team Magma Executives, they can easily defeat Team Magma's cannon fodder.

Even Executives, if there aren't many people coming, it's just a little more stressful for them.

Unless all of the Magma Team Executives in this different space were sent together now, even if they couldn't fight, running was absolutely fine.

They could definitely be called the strongest Alliance team in this different space.

Natsu looked at Lance, shrugged, "You decide."

By the way, he was holding his thigh, so it was only natural to follow what his three thighs were saying.

Except to die.

Natsu was well aware of this.

"Go, come back."

Lance took big strides and rushed back to their positions.

Natsu looked back at the Team Magma members on the ground and pursed his lips.

'That's Mubadzir'

But he kept up with Lance's pace.
