Chapter 250
The place where Su Hao got off the bus was the old-style buildings in the imperial capital. Compared with the more central modern city, the atmosphere of life here is more intense.
Li Hua had also gone to the dragon cave in the imperial capital for trials before. Half a month had passed, and like Jiang Chengcheng, neither of them had contacted Su Hao yet, and they didn't know how he was doing.
Although Su Hao was wearing a raincoat, considering that the backpack exposed outside would easily get wet, he could only look around and bought an umbrella from a little girl who was holding several umbrellas and shouting to buy umbrellas at the entrance of the station.
Not far away was a small but neat-looking store.
After thinking about it, Su Hao, who was just going to have a hot meal, ran into the store with an umbrella.
"Welcome, the menu is right next to you. Please feel free to order any ingredients you like."
"Meow~"
The receptionist was a middle-aged woman wearing an apron. Next to her was a meow with brush-like eyelashes, lying on the ground with its limbs, taking a lazy rest.
Perhaps because it was past mealtime, there were no people in the store. Su Hao found a table and sat down, and said directly: "Boss, this is your first time in the capital. Do you have any special snacks to recommend?"
"Oh, is it your first time here? Then you must try douzhi!"
"douzhi?" Su Hao, a Sichuanese, tilted his head and asked in confusion.
What is this, soy milk?
The proprietress enthusiastically introduced: "A traditional snack in the imperial capital made from mung beans. The weather is cool tonight, and a sip of steaming bean juice can warm your stomach."
Su Hao was also a little curious about what bean juice tasted like. He ordered the menu one by one: "Then a bowl of bean juice, ten fried dough rings, and two meat-filled biscuits!"
"Okay, wait a moment!"
The proprietress ran to the open kitchen and started preparing food for Su Hao. Bored Su Hao tried to talk to her: "Boss, when do you think the rain will stop?"
Although Su Hao didn't hate rain, this kind of weather did affect his travel.
"Well... it's hard to say."
Even though the proprietress was wearing a mask, Su Hao could see that she looked a little hesitant and embarrassed.
"What's so strange about this rain?" Su Hao asked curiously.
"It's not strange, it's mainly because it rains frequently recently, one or two days at a time, and many ingredients that need to be dried outdoors can't be processed."
The proprietress kept moving her hands, holding a bowl of milky white drink? and golden fried dough rings, and two pieces of sesame cakes with meat.
"Try the taste. Some people may not be used to it. If not, Auntie will change it for you."
Su Hao nodded and tried to taste the taste of bean juice.
The proprietress sat at another table and touched Miaomiao's chin curiously: "How is it?"
"Hmm... the bean taste is not very obvious, but the sour taste is a little stronger. The taste is very mellow. I think it's okay."
Su Hao picked up a piece of fried dough ring and dipped it in bean juice while talking.
This food is a bit magical, as if it is another version of soy milk and fried dough sticks?
"That's good."
The proprietress was opened up by Su Hao's previous words. After responding to Su Hao's words, she sighed lightly: "This rain is not too frequent, but compared to last year, the occasional drizzle is more depressing."
"The alliance also sent out Pokémon that are said to have weather-changing moves, and successfully changed the weather."
"But this rain is quite stubborn. It will continue to rain soon after it is dispelled. However, it did not cause any damage. It is said that it is difficult to release large-scale weather moves all the time. In the end, it was left to rain in this weather."
The proprietress's complaining tone made Su Hao a little concerned. The environment here in the imperial capital does not seem to be rainy, and it is still a while before the rainy season.
What is going on?
After all, chatting is just chatting. Su Hao finished his dinner and said goodbye to the proprietress. He took a taxi to find a hotel to stay tonight.
Although certified trainers at the Pokémon Center can stay at a discount, most of the rooms are multi-person. Su Hao thought about it and decided to spend some money to stay in a hotel.
..............
The next morning, it was still drizzling, and Su Hao, who had planned to go out for a walk and see the customs of the imperial capital, had to take a car.
After leaving the hotel, Su Hao stopped a taxi pulled by Pokémon.
"Master, please go to the Wing Gym in the suburbs."
"Okay!
You are so young, are you going to challenge the gym?"
Su Hao shook his head and got into the rainproof car directly: "No, I have other things to do. "
Before entering the carriage, he took a curious look at the Pokémon pulling the cart...
He could understand other Pokémon such as Tootsie, Kentaro pulling the cart, but isn't it a bit... to use Charizard to pull the cart on a rainy day...
Charizards usually live near volcanoes or in deserts. There is a desert outside the imperial capital, so it is reasonable for this Pokémon to appear here.
Charizard's speed is not too slow. Su Hao is also in the old city outside the imperial capital. It only took about half an hour to successfully reach the Wing Gym on the outskirts of the imperial capital.
The Wing Gym is an open building as a whole. The dome is opened during the day to facilitate the entry and exit of flying Pokémon. Outside the gym is a green lawn. Many trainers of the same age or older than Su Hao are training on the grass.
After paying and getting off the car, Su Hao looked at the Wing Gym, which was about the size of a medium-sized shopping mall, and commented sharply: "Well... the scale is so-so. ”
The several 18-attribute gyms he had seen were all funded by the alliance and were large-scale complexes.
The scale of the Flying Wing Gym was indeed mediocre, but this was normal.
After all, the former 18 gyms had been abolished in a sense, and their responsibilities were divided among new gyms like the Flying Wing Gym.
It seemed that Su Hao's father Su Xu was being ripped off by the alliance, but Su Hao, who knew the inside story, knew that this was actually a disguised promotion.
Su Xu, who would only be responsible for playing high-end games in the future, would not need to waste time dealing with other challenges, and would have free time to ask the long Pretend to go into seclusion.
It is a kind of liberation of the upper-level combat power by the alliance, allowing them to focus on improving themselves or teaching the younger generation.
The closer you get to the gate of the Wing Gym, the more flying Pokémon will fly overhead.
Pidgeot, Owlmoth, King Swallow, Windblow, Shuttlecock, Caterpillar, Magikarp, Gyarados...
It seems that some strange Pokémon have mixed in, but strictly speaking, their evolution or current form does have flying attributes.
It feels like this is not a very serious gym...
