Chapter 569 The old man who cooks Kaifeng dishes
The spring water rich in volcanic minerals washes away the fatigue accumulated during the journey. Both humans and elves can enjoy it safely. Even the grass-type Qingming has a warm pool to soak in.
The only ones who were worried about something happening to the fake flowers were Hua Beibei and the ice-type Frozen Bird, who were indifferent to this and had no choice but to stay in the room as housekeepers.
However, looking at the glutinous rice cakes in front of him that were constantly having fun in the hot water, Zhou You thought that maybe the ice elves could also take a dip in the hot springs occasionally?
Eden: Is it possible that Nuomi Ci is special?
Zhou You was dumbfounded. Indeed, except for the single-minded Ice Dharma Baboon, normal ice elves did not have as much fire energy in their bodies as Nuomichi.
"But then again..."
Youyou looked around the entire hot spring: "Why are there so few trainers in Fuyan Town when we are the only ones?"
Being alone in such a big male bathing place, it was a big difference from the popular tourist city in my impression.
If you think about it carefully, it's probably because the hot springs in the Elf Center are only for trainers.
Compared to the deserted center, the other bathhouses open to tourists are obviously more popular.
Overall, barely it can be considered an advantage.
The only drawback here is probably that there is no legendary mixed bathing... Is this the reason why there are so few people?
Lying comfortably in the water, stirring the Togepi eggs in the wooden basin, I couldn't help but wonder if there could be a replica in Azure Highlands.
As I thought about it, my consciousness gradually relaxed after staying up all day, making me feel drowsy.
I don’t know how much time passed.
Zhou You, who was half asleep and half awake, realized that someone was approaching and reluctantly raised his eyes.
The visitor was an old man with a goatee and curiously wavy eyebrows.
Although his beard and hair look white, the muscles on his body leave no doubt that the opponent is even capable of defeating Ash.
"The old man who cooks Kaifeng dishes!" Eden shouted in surprise.
It seemed that he had misunderstood the other person as some strange person.
"Old man, I'm not a cook. Did this Zoroa get the wrong person?"
The old man happily entered the hot spring. When he saw the young man opposite him looking at him with sleepy eyes, he said hello: "Are you up? I have a lot of elves. If you feel uncomfortable, just say so."
After that, he opened his elf ball.
Master Weasel, Little Cat, Bear Disciple, Rock Mane Werewolf, Staff Tail Scale Armored Dragon, Steel Armor Crow and two martial arts bear masters appeared in front of them.
"fine……"
Without paying much attention to the other party, Zhou You continued to sleep.
However, the elves were immediately surprised by the excellent level of cultivation of the elves brought by the old man. Judging from their appearance and momentum, they even faintly surpassed their own!
Could this be the retired Four Heavenly Kings Mulla?
Before Eden could identify all the elves on the other side, Dai Xiaozi, who was enjoying some grooming in the shallow water, suddenly sharpened his eyes and stared directly at the steel-armored crow released by the other side.
"shave!"
provocative!
The latter immediately turned to look at the other party and put on a fighting stance.
"You can't fight casually in the elf center." Eden took Duozi back into the elf ball on the spot.
Although it also wanted to have a fight, at least it had to be in the battle arena.
Seeing that the elves had such a high degree of autonomy after the boy fell asleep, the old man couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Only then did he notice that all the other elves had a high level of training, and most of them were above the level of the gym leader.
Especially the fire-breathing dragon taking a bath in the hot spring, ranking in the middle and upper reaches of the entire trainer world.
If the opponent's other main elves have a level of cultivation similar to that of Charizard, they may not have no chance of winning when encountering a cis-attributed king.
But compared with his apprentice, he is still far behind. Only the fire-breathing dragon in the entire team can see...
"I feel that if Emperor Dan and I fight, I'm afraid we won't even have a 10% winning rate."
Zhou You, who was taking a nap while floating on the water, suddenly said, and then slowly opened his eyes.
After realizing the other party's identity, he woke up after originally planning to sleep for a while: "Senior Ma Shide, I heard that you bought an island in Galar, why did you suddenly appear in Hoenn?"
Yes, this old man who calls himself the old man is the living legend of the Galar region, the strongest champion who is even older than Adek of Unova and the master of the Kai Island Martial Arts Gym—Ma Shide!
Eden: So he really isn’t selling Kaifeng vegetables?
Little Kirby: What is Kaifeng cuisine?
The seemingly sleeping young man suddenly revealed what he was thinking, which made Ma Shide stunned for a moment, and then said with a somewhat proud smile: "Old man, I am so famous in the Fengyuan area!"
"I just happened to hear it mentioned by the owner of the museum next to my house."
In fact, it's because Ma Shide's eyebrows are so special that it's hard not to leave a deep impression on others.
Zhou You shook his head and introduced himself: "I am Zhou You from Zhenxin Town, just call me Qiaoqiao. I am currently traveling with the elves for this year's Championship Challenge."
Ma Shide's eyebrows twitched when he heard this. He didn't expect that he would be known to other museum owners after retiring for many years.
This time when he left Galar, he didn't say hello to anyone else. He was mainly invited to participate in a game in the Iron Iron region... and stopped by to buy the limited-release GBA.
It was a surprise to have a new trainer recognize him, but... the championship challenge?
He looked at the traveling lineup and couldn't see any possibility of the opponent defeating the champion.
"Qiao Qiao, you just said that you think Dandi can't beat you... Have you watched his games before?"
"Of course I have." Zhou You subconsciously showed a meaningful smile.
Not only have I seen it, but I have also played against him.
Of course, he has indeed watched the video of Dandi's battle in this world.
Looking at Dandi's performance in the open tournament, Zhou You can easily see that the level of the opponent's Pokémon is not much higher than his own, but he has an advantage because he travels first.
At least it is not like Zhulan's level and training that are completely crushed...
And the reason why Dandi has been undefeated since his debut is mainly because of his ever-changing quality team and targeted tactics, rather than crushing the opponent's extraordinary training.
Of course, Kapu·Gorilla, Shield Blade Monster, and Dragon Baruto are also extremely difficult to deal with.
Although he looks like a sunny and cheerful big boy, this Galar champion is actually a straightforward and simple intellectual player...
In other words, the opponent and Zhou You are the same type of stand.
So he naturally doesn't think he will lose to Dandi.
Seeing the other party so confident, Mashide smiled indifferently. He had more confidence in his apprentice than the passers-by he suddenly met during the journey.
Having said that, he also wanted to see why the boy was so confident, and even expected that the other party could bring him unexpected surprises.
What other way can you get to know a trainer better than fighting?
