He knows Pokémon better than me

After some deduction, everyone has already regarded the imminent volcanic eruption of Honglian Island in five weeks as a certainty, so the next step is to find the biggest official here to have a good communication.

Otherwise, everyone is still living peacefully, and suddenly the volcano erupts, and they will travel to the underworld collectively on the spot.

Although this small town is not large, there are thousands of people in it, and thousands of people died at the same time, just thinking about it makes the scalp numb.

Five days may be a bit rushed, but five weeks is plenty of time.

"Let's go to the Red Lotus Gym first."

Xiaozhi had an idea. Generally speaking, the gym owners in a city have the right to speak in the local area. They might be arrested directly if they shouted on the street. It is better to let the gym owners do the publicity.

If the other party doesn't believe it, I can still fight with him to show my strength and let the owner know how strong I am.

A powerful trainer is naturally more convincing.

Take advantage of the opportunity to get his seventh badge.

Kill two birds with one stone.

"Good life!"

Together, the three of them rushed into Honglian town and walked towards the direction of Honglian gymnasium...

...

"Hello, where is the Red Lotus Gym?"

"I'm not familiar with you. I'm traveling abroad."

"Oh, I'm here to soak in the hot springs. Is the Red Lotus Gym some kind of famous hot spring hotel?"

Xiaozhi and his group asked a few passers-by, most of whom were traveling, so they had to walk towards a local shop.

"Hello, where is the Red Lotus Gym?"

"Not familiar, although I'm a local." The shopkeeper waved his hand and replied indifferently.

Gym?

Can that make money?

Xiaozhi's expression has faintly changed.

After repeated inquiries, the three of them realized that the Red Lotus Gymnasium had closed down a long time ago. Now the island is basically filled with tourism, hotels, restaurants, hot springs and other dining and entertainment facilities. There is no such facility for traditional trainers to fight. .

Not long after, the three came to a house that was crushed by messy wood. Just looking at the cobweb dust on it, it seemed that it had been abandoned for a long time.

This is the Red Lotus Gymnasium.

"Hey, illustrated book, didn't you say that the Red Lotus Gym is still in business? The data was a few years ago, so I won't update it!"

Xiaozhi took out his illustration book and shook it around, complaining repeatedly.

"Didi. The Red Lotus Gym is still in business. Gym owner: Xia Bo, business hours: 9:00 am - 6:00 pm, challenge requirements: 6 badges or more. The record of the last challenger was seven days ago. ..”

The illustrated book is trying to justify itself.

Xiaozhi: "?"

He pointed to the dilapidated remains of the Red Lotus Gym, seven days?

Seven years ago.

...

"The three teenagers came to look for the Red Lotus Gym, which has been closed for three years..."

A voice with a dry old man came from the side, and the three of them looked up, only to see a brown-haired man standing next to the Red Lotus Gym, with a strange mid-length hair and a round frame on his face. Sunglasses, clothes also have some hip-hop style, like a hippie with a very unsuitable style.

"Xia Bo, the owner of the Red Lotus gymnasium, is a powerful trainer. When facing countless weak challengers, he finally lost his patience and closed the gymnasium. He no longer accepts any challenges. He has disappeared now. gone."

He explained slowly, with some emotion in his tone.

He is obviously an old man, but he is dressed like a young man. Xiaozhi can't help but look at him curiously:

"You know so well, who are you?"

"Hehe, I'm just a passerby..." The mysterious man in sunglasses replied with a smile.

Before the words finished, the illustration book in Xiaozhi's hand made another electronic sound.

"Didi. The answer to your question "Who are you" has been retrieved."

A beam of infrared light landed on the forehead of that weird hippie, as if being aimed at by a big sniper, which made the latter startled suddenly and did not dare to move.

"Didi. Xia Bo, age: 59 years old, owner of Red Lotus Gymnasium, researcher of Red Lotus Research Institute, fire attribute expert, because he was saved by a flame bird when he was a child, he set foot on the road of fire attribute trainer, Zeng Jin Going astray for the Rockets, having a bad conscience, has now disassociated himself from the Rockets, and likes to tell bad jokes."

The three of Xiaozhi: "?"

Mysterious old man: "?"

The latter felt like a wind speed dog in his heart, how could all his details be exposed in one face-to-face?

What kind of black technology is this?

"Didi. Cold knowledge, since Xia Bo is already bald at the age of 45, there is a high probability that the brown medium-length hair is a wig."

The illustration book issued a reminder again.

Xiaozhi: "..."

Xia Bo: "..."

The two looked at each other, and the air was filled with an embarrassing atmosphere of chilling...

...

"Haha, Mr. Xia Bo, don't pay attention to what my illustration book says."

Xiaozhi was the first to react, and his expression became joyful.

He thought that apart from saving thousands of people, being published in a newspaper, and getting the honorary title of a justice trainer, there would be nothing else to gain from this journey.

It seems that he can still fight with the trainers of the Red Lotus Gym!

This scanning of identity information is a traditional skill of the illustrated book, and Xiaozhi still believes it.

"Hehe, young man, your illustration book is a bit incredible..."

Seeing this, Xia Bo no longer concealed his identity, and smiled heartily, then reached out and scratched his head, grabbing off the brown hair on top of his head, revealing his big, bald melon.

With some reflections.

He is indeed bald.

As a researcher and a gym trainer, he was bald at the age of 45, which is already remarkable.

"The old man is Xia Bo, the trainer of the Red Lotus Gym."

The eyes and facial features could not be seen clearly under the sunglasses, but Xia Bo still had two gray beards on his bald head, and his body looked very healthy.

"Hehe, but what the illustration book says is not all the truth. It's not because of this reason that I closed down the gym master." Xia Bo explained, and his tone was quite young and talkative.

He is not picky about the challengers who come, no matter how strong or weak, as long as he finds him by himself.

After all, it was really not his turn to choose, because there were not many people to challenge, the current Red Lotus Gym has long been forgotten, and the world only remembers that Red Lotus Town is a perfect hot spring resort.

Thinking of this, Xia Bo was a little heartbroken:

"I feel very heartbroken. People here only know how to make gimmicks, open hot spring hotels and cut money. They have no traditional connotations at all. They have completely forgotten their own heart!"

So he shut down the Gym on the surface to express his belief that he was ashamed to be with them.

Xiao Gang couldn't help but asked, "Then what is their original intention?"

"Original heart... original heart is... that kind of original heart!"

Xia Bo couldn't tell, he only knew that the former residents of Honglian Island lived and worked in peace and contentment on this small island, instead of setting up these fancy hotels like now, which are all messy things.

"I see."

Xiao Gang's gaze suddenly became deep, as if he had seen through everything.

"Red Lotus Island used to be a self-sufficient small-scale peasant economy, but now it has become a market economy that communicates with the outside world, but you don't like this change. You are a typical..."

Speaking of this, Xiao Gang suddenly stopped and stopped talking.

Xiaozhi became anxious instead, frowning and said:

"What does it belong to? There are two kinds of people I hate the most in my life, one is the half-talker! The other one I won't talk about."

Before Xiaogang could speak, Gu Jian answered the call again and made a series of electronic sounds.

"Didi. It is a typical, old-fashioned old man who pretends to be lofty."

Xia Bo: "?"
