Chapter 250 Light Rain
The place where Su Hao got off the bus was a group of old-fashioned buildings in the imperial capital. Compared with the more central modern city, the atmosphere of life here was richer.
Li Hua also ran to the dragon's lair in the imperial capital for a trial before. Half a month had passed, and like Jiang Chengcheng, neither of them had contacted Su Hao yet, and they didn't know what the current situation was.
Although Su Hao was wearing a raincoat, he was concerned that his backpack would get wet easily, so he could only look around and bought an umbrella from a little girl who was holding several umbrellas and shouting for her to buy one at the station entrance.
Not far away there is a small but tidy looking shop.
After thinking about it, Su Hao, who just wanted to have a hot meal, ran into the shop with an umbrella.
“Welcome, the menu is right next to it, and the ingredients are all available, please feel free to order.”
"Meow~"
The receptionist was a middle-aged woman wearing an apron. Next to her squatted a meow with brush-like eyelashes lying on the ground, resting lazily.
Maybe it was because it was past dinner time, there were no people in the store. Su Hao found a table and sat down, and said directly: "Boss, this is my first time in the capital, do you have any special snacks to recommend?"
"Oh, is this your first time here? Then you must try the soy milk!"
"Douzhier?" Su Hao, a native of Sichuan, tilted his head and asked in confusion.
What is this, soy milk?
The lady boss enthusiastically introduced: "It's a traditional snack in the capital city made with mung beans. The weather is cool tonight, and drinking a sip of steaming mung bean juice can warm your stomach."
Su Hao was also somewhat curious about what bean juice tasted like, so he ordered items on the menu one by one: "Then I'll have a bowl of bean juice, ten fried dough sticks, and two meat-filled sesame cakes!"
"Okay, wait a moment!"
The boss lady quickly ran to the open kitchen and started preparing food for Su Hao. Bored, Su Hao tried to strike up a conversation: "Boss lady, when do you think the rain will stop?"
Although Su Hao doesn't hate rain, this kind of weather does affect his travel.
"Hmm...it's hard to say."
Even though the landlady was wearing a mask, Su Hao could tell that she looked hesitant and embarrassed.
"What's weird about this rain?" Su Hao asked curiously.
"It's not that strange. It's mainly because it's been raining a lot recently, one or two days at a time. Many ingredients that need to be dried outdoors can't be processed."
The proprietress kept moving her hands, and walked over with a bowl of milky white drink, golden doughnuts, and two meat-filled biscuits.
"Try the taste. Some people may not be used to it. If not, I'll get you another one."
Su Hao nodded and tentatively tasted the soy milk.
The proprietress sat at another table, touched Miaomiao's chin and asked curiously: "How is it?"
"Hmm... the bean flavor isn't very obvious, but the sour taste is a bit stronger. The taste is very mellow, I think it's okay."
While Su Hao was talking, he took a piece of burnt ring and dipped it in the bean juice to eat.
This food is a bit magical, like another version of soy milk and fried dough sticks?
"That's good."
The proprietress opened up the conversation due to Su Hao's previous words. She responded to Su Hao's words and sighed softly: "It doesn't rain too frequently, but compared to last year, the drizzle that comes from time to time is more frequent." Depressing people.”
"The alliance also sent Pokémon that are said to change the weather's moves, and successfully changed the weather."
"But the rain is more tenacious, and it will continue to fall soon after it is dispelled. However, because it did not cause any damage, it is difficult to release a large-scale weather move all the time, and finally let the weather rain."
Su Hao was a little concerned about what the landlady said in a complaining tone. The environment here in the Imperial Capital didn't look like rainy weather, and it was still some time before the rainy season.
What the hell is going on?
After all, small talk is just small talk. Su Hao finished dinner in a few moments, said goodbye to the landlady, and took a taxi to look for a hotel to stay in tonight.
Although certified trainers at the Pokémon Center can stay at a discount, most of the rooms are occupied by multiple people. Su Hao thought about it and decided to spend some money to stay in a hotel.
..............
The next morning, the drizzle was still falling. Su Hao, who had originally planned to go out for a walk and take a look at the customs and culture of the imperial capital, had to travel by car.
After leaving the hotel, Su Hao hailed a taxi pulled by a Pokémon.
"Master, please go to the Wing Gym in the suburbs."
"Alright! The guest is so young, are you going to challenge the gym?"
Su Hao shook his head and got into the rainproof car: "No, I have other things to do."
Before entering the carriage, he took a curious look at the Pokémon pulling the carriage...
He could understand other Pokémon such as Dudulicentero and other Pokémon pulling a cart, but using a fire-breathing camel to pull a cart on a rainy day was a bit...
Fire-breathing camels usually live near volcanoes or in deserts. There is a desert outside the imperial capital. It is reasonable for this kind of Pokémon to appear here.
The fire-breathing camel's movement was not too slow. Su Hao was in the old city outside the imperial capital circle. It only took about half an hour to successfully reach the Feiyi Gym on the outskirts of the imperial capital.
The Wing Gym is an open-style building. During the day, the dome opens to allow flying Pokémon to enter and exit. Outside the gym is a green lawn, and many trainers who are similar to Su Hao's age or older are training on the grass.
After paying and getting off the car, Su Hao looked at the Flying Wing Gym, which was about the size of a medium-sized shopping mall, and commented sharply: "Hmm... the scale is so-so."
The several eighteen-attribute gyms he had seen were all funded by the alliance and were large-scale comprehensive building complexes.
The scale of Feiyi Gym is indeed so-so, but this is considered normal.
After all, the former Eighteen Gyms have been abolished in a sense, and their responsibilities have been divided into new gyms such as Feiyi Gym.
It looked like Su Hao's father Su Xu was kicked out by the alliance, but Su Hao, who knew the inside story, knew that this was actually a disguised promotion.
Su Xu, who will only be responsible for playing high-end games in the future, does not need to waste time dealing with other challenges. He will also have free time and can take a long vacation to retreat.
It can be regarded as a kind of liberation of the upper-level combat forces by the alliance, allowing them to focus on improving themselves or teaching the younger generations.
The closer you get to the gate of the Wing Gym, the more Flying-type Pokémon will fly overhead.
Bobo, Mu Mu Xiao, King Swallow, Sui Fengqiu, Shuttlecock Cotton, Green Caterpillar, King Magikarp, Gyarados...
It seems like there are strange Pokémon mixed in, but strictly speaking, their evolved types or current forms do have flying attributes.
It doesn't feel like a very serious gym...
