By the way, because of what Xiaozhi did a year ago, Xia Bo’s battle venue hidden in the volcano can no longer be repaired.
So Xia Bo reopened the Honglian Gym, which had become a ruin, but the exterior was still decorated to look like a hotel. Only by answering Xia Bo's jokes could one start the normal gym challenge.
In order to make the performance more realistic, Xia Bo even applied for a renovation fee from the alliance and completely renovated the new gym into a hotel...
Well, actually Xia Bo cheated a sum of money from the alliance for the so-called "rebuilding of the gym" and rebuilt a hotel for himself to make money.
Of course, Xia Bo still had some dignity and did build a battle area deep in the hotel.
Although in the Pokémon world, it is normal to have a battle area in the inn...
As for this auntie, on the surface her relationship with Xia Bo is that of a partner, but in reality... those who understand will understand.
So why didn't Gongsun Yan realize this? Nonsense, there are hundreds of hotels in the entire Honglian Island, how could Gongsun Yan think that things would be so coincidental.
Moreover, Gongsun Yan only remembered the address of Xia Bo's original inn and had no clear impression of the location of the Red Lotus Gym.
This is also an empiricist error. When Gongsun Yan was looking at the intelligence, he always regarded the Red Lotus Gym as the original ruins because of the influence of the anime.
This small mistake directly put Gongsun Yan in trouble. God knows that when he was waiting for the dessert with great anticipation, the first person who caught his eye was an old Mediterranean man who liked to tell jokes.
As for what happened later...Gongsun Yan was captured by Xia Bo, and Liliae went to enjoy afternoon tea with the aunt.
Lucario and Harley, the two brothers in distress, agreed to go to the gym together to work out, and after working out they planned to take a hot spring bath and have a sauna.
Well, looking at it this way, everyone seems to be very happy, which is really cause for celebration...
"Fnmdp! Isn't Xia Bo an active person? How come he has the leisure to make tea here?"
Gongsun Yan was obviously not as calm and steady as he appeared; he was already screaming like a groundhog in his heart.
ps: How could the author forget Kyogre? After the story of Cinnabar Island is over, the protagonist will go back to Alola, and Kyogre’s story will be at that time.
By the way, the protagonist will go to the Seven Islands later, so it makes sense to use Kyogre as a means of transportation (laughs)
Chapter 232 New Character Lao Yin Appears
"I'm waiting for your arrival at the gym battle tomorrow. I hope we can have a wonderful battle then."
Just as Gongsun Yan was getting restless, Xia Bo said the second sentence since entering the room.
By the way, the first sentence was to shout to Gongsun Yan to sit down.
"Huh? Oh, okay, I get it."
Gongsun Yan obviously couldn't grasp Xia Bo's pulse, so he could only agree vaguely and began to think about the deeper meaning of Xia Bo's words.
"Well, that's good. I won't see you off. You and your girlfriend can continue shopping. If you need to, you can sleep here at night. I have a guest room here."
After getting Gongsun Yan's reply, Xia Bo directly served tea to the guest, which made Gongsun Yan even more confused and he walked out of the tea room in a daze.
"Shh!"
As Gongsun Yan closed the sliding door of the tea room, Xia Bo's face instantly fell. It must be tiring for him to maintain the airs of a senior all the time.
"I told you that you are not suitable for this kind of serious style. It's not like that guy doesn't know what your true nature is like. Why make things so difficult for yourself?"
A middle-aged man with gray hair walked out from behind a screen and said helplessly as he looked at Xia Bo who was standing there helplessly and furiously.
"Old Yin, you are such a pushover. If it was just that boy, I would have scolded him a long time ago. But there is a girl here too. I have to leave a good first impression."
Xia Bo scolded the man angrily, then took another cup from the side, poured a cup of tea into it, and handed it to the other person.
"Well, if you ask me, you just can't bring yourself to do this, but I'm in no position to condemn you."
Lao Yin took the tea bowl handed over by Xia Bo and started drinking without paying any attention to etiquette, like a cow chewing a peony.
Xia Bo had no objection to this scene, because he didn't like those messy things. He poured himself a bowl and drank it in one gulp, turning the tea into liquor.
I have to say that the tea here at Xia Bo is really good. Even Gongsun Yan doesn't have much tea of this quality. These are all given to him as a gift by Xia Bo's disciples all over the world. Naturally, the quality is not bad.
However, now that these tea leaves have fallen into Xia Bo's hands, it can be considered a good investment. The tea-making technique he just used was the result of several days of special study.
"Okay, now that we've had our tea, we should get down to business."
Lao Yin was obviously as impatient as Xia Bo. After finishing the tea in front of him, he started asking questions directly.
"There's no rush for that matter. You should have noticed the aura of Gongsun Yan."
Xia Bo became unusually calm, gently put down the tea bowl in his hand, looked directly at Lao Yin and said.
"Yes, indeed. Under the scorching volcanic aura and the powerful dragon aura, there is also a slightly weaker fire aura. It should be that person."
Lao Yin also became serious in a second, but there was still a hint of bitterness in his tone. After all, he had not been able to realize his life pursuits all his life, and ended up focusing on Gongsun Yan.
"Yes, it is indeed Him. I didn't expect that such a proud Pokémon like Him would actually find a trainer who recognizes Him. I am really getting old~"
Xia Bo's eyes were full of memories. In a trance, he seemed to have returned to a day many years ago when Emperor Yan used the sacred fire to heal his wounds.
That was a long time ago. Because he lost to Professor Oak, he made up his mind and went alone to the depths of the volcano on Crimson Island to practice.
I have to say that Xia Bo's talent is still very good. During this period of training, his strength has indeed skyrocketed, and it has laid a solid foundation for his main Pokémon to break through the King level.
However, the improvement in strength also came at a price. Because he had stayed in the depths of the volcano for a long time, his whole body was infected with fire poison and he suffered greatly.
However, because Emperor Yan happened to pass by the volcano of Honglian Island at that time, after seeing Xia Bo's miserable condition, he directly sprayed a sacred fire at him.
Although using fire to treat fire poison sounds a bit crazy, it is one of the best ways to deal with it, because the level of the sacred fire is superior to all other flames, even the castrated version used by Emperor Yan.
So what was Professor Oak doing when Xia Bo's strength was improving by leaps and bounds?
Oh, Professor Oak was training hard in physical fitness and boxing at that time, preparing to conquer the leader of the Tasmaniac in the Pokémon Sanctuary with his physical strength.
As we all know, Pokémon cannot be captured in the Pokémon Protection Area, and even releasing Pokémon to battle may result in a warning from the League, causing trainers to almost avoid the protection areas.
This is when the difference between ordinary people and geniuses is reflected. When faced with difficulties, ordinary people may think of avoiding them, but geniuses do the opposite.
Since Pokémon cannot be released to fight in the protected area, nor can the Pokémon inside be captured directly, then can't the trainers just do it themselves?
How can a mere Pokémon compare to my well-tempered body?
Well, by the way, the leader of the marsupial dragon was indeed conquered by Professor Oak and chose to follow Professor Oak on his own initiative.
The leader who was in charge of matters related to the reserve at the time was really troubled by this. After all, according to regulations, Pokémon in the reserve must not be captured by anyone.
Even the rangers responsible for protection and patrol can only use the instrument in their hands to temporarily obtain the help of Pokémon, and they are not allowed to carry Poké Balls or own Pokémon while on duty.
As a result, Professor Oak accurately found the loophole in the regulations, which put them in a difficult situation. In the end, it was Damarachi, who had just become the president of the alliance, who made the final decision and allowed Professor Oak to take the Tasmanian Dragon away.
But in order to prevent this situation from spreading, well, actually there is no possibility of it spreading, after all, even the fighting king Siba is not so powerful.
However, for the sake of influence, the Alliance still symbolically introduced a new bill, which is that if a trainer gains the following of a Pokémon, then he can take the Pokémon away.
This bill can be said to have attracted a large number of trainers to the protected areas. After all, most of the Pokémon living in the protected areas are rare and powerful.
PS: The evaluation of Zhu Zi seems to be very polarized. I wonder if GF really played such a good hand so badly.
Chapter 233 They all have the same father
Even though the rules have been relaxed, it seems that Professor Oak is the only one who has taken Pokémon away from the reserve so far.
From this perspective, this bill seems to be meaningless and instead wasted the time of most trainers at the time.
By the way, what is the strength of the marsupial dragon that Professor Oak subdued? It is at the king level, and it is an old-fashioned king, otherwise it would not be able to command the marsupial dragons in the entire reserve.
I have to say that Professor Oak is worthy of being the hero who suppressed an era. Those powerful Pokémon trainers are like children in front of Professor Oak.
It seems that the Pokémon world has always been like this. Every few years, a trainer who can dominate this era will appear. The earliest recorded one is naturally President Damaranch.
"Now that you see this boy, do you feel like you've lived the first half of your life as a Caterpie?"
Lao Yin naturally and familiarly brought the teapot in front of Xia Bo over, filled his own teacup with water, and then deliberately put the teapot on his side without pouring water for Xia Bo.
"You talk too much!"
Xia Bo played with the teacup in his hand, wondering whether to smash it on Lao Yin's head.
This shows how cunning Lao Yin was. He took the tea away in advance to prevent the physical attack from turning into a magic attack.
"Alas, but I am not superior to you. You have never thought about these things, but I have been pursuing them but to no avail."
Lao Yin silently drank the tea in his cup, and his whole body was shrouded in a depressing atmosphere.
If Xia Bo didn't know the water in the cup in Lao Yin's hand, just looking at Lao Yin's state and appearance, he would believe you if you said there was strong liquor in the cup.
"You have never given up in all these years, and your faith has never wavered. You are already a legend."
Xia Bo took the teapot and toasted Lao Yin with tea instead of wine. He really admired the man in front of him.
You may not be very familiar with Lao Gin, but he has actually appeared in the anime, but only in the Pokémon broadcasting station.
The protagonist of this episode is no longer Satoshi, but one of Satoshi's good friends, Hiro, who ranked among the top eight in the Quartz Conference.
Old Silver has obvious shortcomings. He is arrogant and looks down on those who are weak and pursues powerful Pokémon.
When he met Ahong, Lao Yin looked down on him in every way, but although he was crazy, he was still a good person and helped Ahong without hesitation when he was in danger.
Old Gin once encountered a Moltres when he was a child. Since then, he has had an unusual obsession with Moltres and has been chasing Moltres ever since.
Over the years, Old Gin has encountered times when Moltres was weak or injured, but he is a gentleman and would never take advantage of others in distress.
The sentence "Only those who have fought head-on are qualified to conquer" directly elevated Lao Yin's image and formed a sharp contrast with a certain rich guy.
After helping Moltres repel Team Rocket that came to capture him, Silver got to have a head-on confrontation with Moltres as he wished. His Dragonite and Moltres were evenly matched, showing that their strength was truly formidable.
If the volcanic eruption hadn't interrupted their battle, perhaps Old Gin would have really had a chance to capture Moltres and fulfill his wish.
But at the end of the episode, Old Gin seemed to have gained the recognition of Moltres, and stayed on the island where Moltres appeared to practice, waiting for the next head-on battle.
The reason why Lao Yin came to Honglian Island now is naturally because Moltres has changed its location. The Moltres that Lao Yin was chasing did not stay on one island all the time, but ran around the world.
Then why are Lao Yin and Xia Bo so familiar with each other?
Coincidentally, Xia Bo once fell and was injured while climbing a mountain, and was rescued by a flamingo.
And that molten bird happened to be the one that Old Silver was chasing, so these two people who originally had no connection with each other became so familiar with each other.
But I have to say that Xia Bo is worthy of being Xia Bo. The title of Fire King is well-known, and even the fire-type divine beasts know so many of them.
"Ah, I have to say, the young people nowadays are really amazing. I really want to have a hearty fight with him!"
Lao Yin swallowed the hot tea in his mouth, and the sadness in his eyes disappeared instantly, replaced by a strong desire to fight.
"What's wrong? Are you itching to fight? You look so pitiful. Please, I'll let you fight tomorrow."
Xia Bo also started to tease when he saw this, but he was not saying it casually. If Lao Yin wanted, he could give up the opportunity.
"Haha, you don't have to worry about that. I'm not that war-loving. Besides, right now I have to focus on the battle with Moltres later!"
"Kacha!"
When Lao Yin talked about this, the fire in his eyes became even more intense. He exerted a little force with his right hand, and suddenly a crack appeared on the teacup.
"...Ahem, the weather is nice today, perfect for a hot spring bath. I'll be leaving first, no need to see me off."
The air suddenly became quiet, and then Lao Yin opened his mouth with embarrassment, walking towards the door while speaking. By the time he finished speaking, half of his body had already walked out of the room.
"Old Yin, you bastard! I just bought this tea set!"
After hearing Xia Bo's roar, Lao Yin's pace became faster and faster. Having been chasing Moltres for many years, his pockets were really clean.
This set of tea set is not simple at first glance. Not to mention the workmanship, the unique patterns on it show that it is the only one of its kind in the world. If one is broken, you have to replace the whole set, otherwise it will be incomplete.
So Lao Yin had no choice but to accept the offer. Although he had no worries about food and drink with his financial strength, this kind of luxury item was obviously beyond his affordability.
"Don't even think about running away! Prepare to die, old thief!"
Lao Yin and Xia Bo were both in their thirties or forties, but now they were fighting in the corridor like eight or nine-year-old kids.
"Uh~"
Gongsun Yan and Liliae, who were standing aside, looked at the scene and fell into silence. They didn't know what to say for a moment.
Well, Xia Bo's attempt to pretend to be profound failed, and his true nature was exposed nakedly in front of Liliae.
"Sure enough, the person hiding aside just now was Old Silver. I was wondering why there was such a strong scent of the Fire Bird. I originally thought it was from Xia Bo, but now it turns out not to be."
Gongsun Yan looked at the figure jumping up and down being chased by Xia Bo and fell into deep thought.
ps: I'm sure everyone is curious about why the author added the character Lao Gin. In fact, the screenwriter of that episode at the broadcasting station was that bastard Yonemura, and Lao Gin and Xiao Hao have very similar personalities, so it's hard to say that there was no reference.
But compared to Haogou, Lao Yin’s personal charm is simply too high. They are all subordinates of the same father, so how could there be such a disgusting person like Haogou?
