Kīlauea Volcano (Suryani)! The Final Challenge!
On February 8th, the weather was nice.
As the first ray of sunlight filtered into the room through the windows, the entire room was filled with bright saffron-colored particles, and the dust in the air was clearly visible.
Bruce opened his eyes groggily, and the first thing he saw was Jirachi staring at him intently.
Bruce smiled and greeted, "Good morning."
【Bruce, get up and play!】
As if tireless, Jirachi took the moment Bruce lifted the blanket and slipped into his arms.
Feeling the warmth in his embrace, Bruce smiled and gently set Jirachi aside, grinning as he put on his clothes, "I'll play later."
At that moment, Metagross slowly opened its eyes, nodded slightly at Bruce, and then floated upward.
Bruce got up smoothly and used Psychic to open the door by himself. When he entered the bathroom, the toothbrush and mouthwash cup flew into his hand.
Psychic, the best choice to enhance your lifestyle.
After washing up and heading downstairs, Professor Alexander and Madison were already seated in the living room, sorting through the research materials from yesterday.
Bruce secretly lamented their hard work, casually grabbed some bread, and chewed for a while.
Following Bruce's example, Jirachi held a large piece of bread in its arms, opened its little mouth, and took a big bite.
In the courtyard in front of the wooden house, Blaziken had already begun its morning training, and Rapidash was running wildly in the endless desert ahead.
And at the end of the desert stood the majestic Kīlauea (Suryani) Volcano, the final destination of this journey.
Just as Bruce was admiring the grandeur of Kīlauea Volcano, the Poké Ball at his waist trembled slightly, and a red light shot out, revealing Gardevoir.
【Noisy, let's play together!】
Jirachi excitedly flew in front of Gardevoir, the note of wishes swaying in the wind.
Gardevoir nodded slightly, extending her hand to hold Jirachi in her arms, and then her figure shimmered and appeared in the desert.
Fun! Fun!
Jirachi clapped its hands, looking thrilled.
Bruce couldn't help but laugh, and at the same time, Professor Alexander's voice came from his ear:
"It's really warm."
"Yeah." Bruce turned to face Professor Alexander, who was holding a cup of coffee, a slight smile on his face, and said, "Everyone seems very happy."
"Indeed." Professor Alexander nodded with a smile, then looked at Kīlauea Volcano and said in a deep voice, "But it's time for us to leave."
"Alright." Bruce was silent for a moment, then nodded.
Today's goal was the most difficult: to reach the mouth of Kīlauea Volcano and let Blaziken bathe in the volcano's lava.
Then, while the Pokémon played, the three packed their gear.
At nine in the morning, everyone set off toward Kīlauea Volcano.
"Although it doesn't look too far, Kīlauea Volcano is over ten kilometers from here, and it will take some time to get there," Professor Alexander said.
Even though it seemed close, it would take quite a while to walk down.
This was actually the center of the volcano's eruption area. Lava was visible everywhere, and even lava piles were not uncommon.
Because of this, they encountered wild Pokémon one after another along the way, some fighting over lava piles and others claiming them for themselves.
Trainers with the same goals also appeared one after another, but they all greeted each other from a distance and then parted ways.
Due to the bumpy path and scattered lava everywhere, their progress was severely hindered. By noon, they still had not reached Kīlauea Mountain.
"Only one-third of the way left." Professor Alexander looked up, and the true face of Kīlauea was now clearly visible.
After a brief rest, everyone moved forward again.
An hour later, they finally reached the foot of Kīlauea Volcano.
Because of the eruption, hot lava was everywhere at the mountain's base, and there were very few places to settle.
After searching for a long time, they finally found a place to rest.
"The road ahead won't be easy." Professor Alexander looked forward, frowning slightly.
Bruce looked up and saw that the base of Kīlauea was nearly covered in lava. To reach the mouth of the volcano, they had to cross these lava flows.
Fortunately, the mountain's surface was not covered by lava, leaving a path up the mountain.
Professor Alexander explained, "This involves complex geographical knowledge. In short, over time, the lava covering the mountain will disappear first, and then the lava around the base will follow."
"In about two or three days, the distributed lava in this area will gradually vanish, and the impact of the volcanic eruption here will completely come to an end."
Bruce nodded carefully. He stared at Kīlauea Volcano for a long time before finally looking at Professor Alexander and Madison and said, "Professor, Madison, you stay here from now on. I'll go up with Blaziken."
The next path would be very dangerous. He had the protection of Pokémon, along with his own Psychic abilities, ensuring his safety.
Both Professor Alexander and Madison were not trainers, so it was appropriate for them to stay where they were.
Professor Alexander looked around, pondered for a moment, and finally nodded: "No problem."
Madison had no objections; she clearly understood her position.
"Jirachi, you stay too," Bruce suggested.
[No, I want to go up too!]
Jirachi flew to Bruce, hugged his arm, and shook its head.
Bruce was silent for a moment, then saw that Jirachi's level was close to Elite and finally nodded.
I'm the strongest Pokémon here!
"Then I'll go up first." Bruce nodded to the two.
"Alright, be safe," said Alexander.
"We'll be waiting for you here." Madison smiled and waved her hand.
Bruce nodded and immediately looked up at the surface of the mountain that wasn't covered in lava nearby.
In fact, it was very simple to pass through the lava-covered area in front of him; he could either jump directly like Blaziken or take a Flying Pokémon, or...
Suddenly, a faint blue light appeared before Bruce's eyes, and the psychic energy erupted. The figures of Bruce, Blaziken, Jirachi, and Metagross blinked and, in the next moment, appeared on the steep slope of the mountain.
"To be able to Teleport three Pokémon at the same time, Bruce's Psychic level is truly impressive," Professor Alexander observed this scene and sighed.
Madison said, "Professor, I heard your analysis; Bruce's Psychic is already at a master level."
Professor Alexander did not comment, his eyes flickering as he said, "In less than five years, Avalon will have another elite Psychic."
Madison couldn't help but complain, "However, the main Pokémon of this Elite Psychic will be a Blaziken…"
Professor Alexander smiled slightly, looking at Blaziken not far away, and said softly, "I'm very curious about what changes will occur in Blaziken's body after bathing in the volcano's magma."
On the other side,
After standing on the surface of Kīlauea, Bruce looked toward the mouth of the volcano and observed carefully.
To reach the mouth of the volcano, he needed to climb all the way up this steep slope. Looking up, it was at least hundreds of meters high.
But as a Psychic, Bruce never needed to take the traditional route.
After carefully confirming that there was no danger near the volcano's entrance, Bruce used Psychic again, and the faint blue light enveloped him and the Poké Balls before vanishing in place.
In the next moment, on the flat ground near the mouth of the volcano, the space rippled slightly, and the figures of Bruce and his Pokémon suddenly appeared.
In fact, to be precise, the mouth of the volcano is actually the vent of the volcano, typically located at the top of the volcano, which is a round depression shaped like a bowl.
The place where Bruce stood now was the top of the volcano's mouth. There was a place to stand here. Looking down from here, he could clearly see the bubbling hot magma.
Then, he focused his gaze and looked down again.
Perhaps sensing Bruce's strangeness, Blaziken turned its head to look at him, nodding slightly in acknowledgment, its eyes firm.
Magmortar, with orange-yellow lines and arms like barrel cannons, emerged from the volcano's magma and landed in front of Blaziken.
Although he stood at the top, Bruce still clearly felt the scorching heat waves rising from below, with an astonishing temperature.
"Roar!"
"Chat!"
However, at that moment, the volcano's magma suddenly surged, flames leaping up, and fire shot into the sky.
Blaziken looked at the hot magma beneath its feet, its wrists firing strong flames, and its breath rising steadily, ready to spring into action.
But Pokémon cannot be treated with common sense, not to mention that Blaziken was already at Gym level, and its physical condition was terrifying.
Bruce doubted this for the first time.
Although it wasn't a Fire-type Pokémon, he could still feel the terrifying Fire energy contained within, as if roaring fire dragons were swimming in the magma, violent and terrifying, far beyond what a lava pile could compare.
The temperature here was extremely high, unbearable for ordinary people.
Could Blaziken really jump into the mouth of the volcano and bathe in the magma?
Boom!
Bruce frowned, waved his large hand, and used Psychic to form a barrier, resisting the searing heat rushing toward him.
He felt the determination in Blaziken's eyes, remained silent for a moment, and then said in a deep voice, "Let's go; we'll protect you here."
This was the starting point of the volcanic eruption, the source of all the lava.
Immediately after, accompanied by a furious roar, a yellow-orange figure emerged from the volcano's magma.
