94. Shabber

Shaber is an old man who is already bald.

Also an old man with a lot of stories.

As a young man, he had thick hair and had also participated in wars, making countless contributions to the Alliance along with his beloved Pokémon.

And when he is old and bald, he just wants to return to his hometown Red Lotus Island.

Refusing the invitation of the Heavenly King of the Alliance, Xia Bo chose to become the owner of the Red Lotus Dao Hall on Red Lotus Island.

Although he refused the Alliance's appointment as a Heavenly King and chose to become a gym trainer in a small place, the Alliance did not hide Xia Bo's great achievements, but instead increased its propaganda efforts.

With the promotion of the Alliance, Xia Bo's strong strength, and his unique cultivation method for fire-type Pokémon, Red Lotus Island has also become a holy place for fire-type Pokémon trainers.

And how many trainers don't have fire-type Pokémon? Almost nothing.

Therefore, Red Lotus Island has gradually become a place that all trainers dream of.

And for this kind of rich old age life where you can return to your hometown to live with your beloved Pokémon, you can bully young trainers casually as long as you want, and you can also play guessing games at will, what else is Xia Bo not satisfied with?

But when people reach old age, there are always many accidents.

After his hair fell out, and before he had physical problems, a large number of hot springs suddenly popped up in Xia Bo's hometown.

While he was glad that his hometown, which had been barren by volcanic eruptions, was being able to regain its prosperity through hot springs, it was becoming more and more unbearable for those who came to visit and challenge the gym as tourists or trainers.

I have the right to play with you, so what right do you have to entertain me?

Xia Bo is also an old child, and when he was unhappy, he directly closed the gym.

Naturally, the alliance will not punish Xia Bo for this, after all, he is a big man, and he can't do whatever he wants.

Xia Bo then lived an ordinary life.

However, the fire-type Pokémon trainer's fire-like heart won't be extinguished like this!

Then, the road to death begins......

Over the mountains, trekking through mountains and rivers......

Finally, one night, he returned to the volcano on Red Lotus Island and jumped straight down.

Turning into flames in the magma of the volcano might be a good home for fruit trainers. Shaber thought.

However, Xia Bo, who thought he would die, never expected that he would be saved by the Flame Bird of Faith in his heart!

Xia Bo thinks that this is a new life that God wants him to live!

The Flame Bird led him into a cavern in the volcano and left.

And Xia Bo also used the authority of the alliance to transform the cave into a new hidden Red Lotus Gym, camouflaged the volcano, and became the owner of the Red Lotus Gym again.

It's just that unlike before, this news has not been made public.

Xia Bo also opened a homestay at the entrance of the cave to the outside, took on a wig and became a strange uncle boss, and guarded the port of Red Lotus Island every day, in front of the ruins of the old Red Lotus Dao Hall, watching the crowd coming and going.

If you have discovered a real trainer and have a certain talent for guessing puzzles, it is best to subdue a fire-type Pokémon, and Xia Bo will use a series of guided puzzles to take the opponent to the new Red Lotus Gym for a gym challenge.

This is also the latest way of life for the elderly.

In Shaber's opinion, this is more interesting than before.

Until a few days ago, he found a trainer who had come from out of town.

Coincidentally, as soon as the trainer got off the wheel, he found Xia Bo and asked for directions: "Excuse me, which direction is the Pokémon Center?" ”

Xia Bo was a little excited, and he didn't expect to meet a trainer who came to his door as soon as he went out today.

As for how he judged......

Have you ever seen a person who comes to Red Lotus Island and goes straight to the Pokémon Center instead of looking at the scenery and wants to soak in the hot springs? And is there anything on Red Lotus Island that attracts other people besides hot springs and Red Lotus Gym?

With a simple judgment, Xia Bo decided that the other party was a young trainer who wanted to visit the Holy Land.

But you can't simply let him pass the test!

Shaber asked one of his favorite riddles: "What is the thing that has a cold head but a warm body?" ”

"Open air onsen. So, which direction is Pokémon Hub? ”

It's back in seconds! I didn't expect to be a little genius in the riddle world. Xia Bo was overjoyed when he saw Hunting and decided to test him again.

"You should be a trainer, are you here to challenge the Red Lotus Gym? What is it that is close in front of you but cannot be seen? ”

"I know that this dilapidated building is the former Red Lotus Gym, so where is the Pokémon Center?"

An impatient young man, when you find that the room here is full, you know that you are in a hurry. But as an old man, you must be full of care for him.

"Anyway, if you have any questions, welcome to come here and come to me." Handing over the card with the address of the B&B hidden in the puzzle, Xia Bo left in a dashing manner.

Then he waited at the mystery boarder's house all night and didn't wait for the other party to arrive.

Did you happen to get a room in Pokémon Center? Good luck boy. Xia Bo knew that there was only one possibility.

The old man got up early, and went to the Pokémon center early the next morning to block people, just in time to see the murderer hanging outside, and followed to see the special training.

Is that a spiny ammonite, it seems a little different. Special training for the Red Lotus Gym? What a hard worker. And there's Charizard! Shaber spoke more highly of him.

After that, the trainer began to wander around Red Lotus Island again, and Xia Bo was sure that he was looking for the Red Lotus Dao Pavilion.

Early the next morning, Xia Bo went to guard him again.

This time, Xia Bo actually discovered that this young trainer's Flash Flaminee could actually use a jet flame! This is a challenge to the fixed moves that Pokémon can learn! But since it's a fire-type, I'll let you go.

After that, I went around looking for the Red Lotus Gym.

Day 3 is also ......

But looking aimlessly, let alone three days, it will not be possible to find it for a long time!

Shaber decided to give him a hint.

Emerge in front of the trainer again.

"You can see it but you can't get there, that's where you're going."

After saying that, he left.

Tomorrow should come, right?

The next day, Xia Bo was waiting for the other party's door at the mystery boarder's house, but felt an unscientific shock.

Volcanic eruptions? No, it's the gym that's wrong!

Hurriedly rushing to the gym, Xia Bo found that a large hole had been opened on the top of the specially reinforced roof, and all the liquid that had been disguised as magma had leaked out!

A fire-breathing dragon flew down from the hole, with the trainer on its back!

"Dead little ghost, challenge the Red Lotus Daoist Pavilion and challenge it, why do you still want to demolish this place?"

"Bald old man? How are you! What about the Flame Bird! ”

Wait, did I mention the Flame Bird before? Also, when did you find out I was bald! I'm obviously in disguise!
