Chapter 651: Solid Bird
It is definitely impossible to give Victini the hot spring egg.

Besides, the durability of most elf eggs is actually far beyond ordinary people's imagination, and they can withstand a certain degree of high temperature and severe cold. They are actually not that delicate.

This is also why Luo Mu dared to place the elf egg in the wooden basin and enjoy the hot spring with them.

Hot springs, hot springs, this temperature is not enough to really cook the elf eggs into hot spring eggs.

Maybe before being entrusted to me, the elf egg had been taken to a hot spring by the old woman.

——However, thinking of what Bonnie had just said, Luo Mu, who always felt as if he was being watched, subconsciously sank his body into the hot spring, leaving only his head with a towel on it exposed outside.

Maybe at this time, there will be members of the so-called "Village Intelligence Network" organization, secretly observing whether he will mistake the elf egg for a hot spring egg.

"Well, now that things have come to this, let's eat some snacks first."

Luo Mu shuddered slightly and decided not to scare himself. He started to open the Kamahen Senbei that the old woman gave him.

The sound of tearing open the package immediately attracted the attention of the Pokémon who were enjoying the hot spring.

When Luo Mu looked up again, he found that these greedy girls and boys were looking at him with desire.

Among them, Victini, the little foodie, had the most eager gaze.

Moltres has one too, but in order to avoid going into the water, it would rather fight its appetite.

Luo Mu didn't understand where this obsession came from.

Under the gaze of the Pokémon, Luo Mu took out the first piece of Kamahen Senbei from the package.

In the curling white smoke from the hot spring, he carefully looked at the Kamahene Senbei in his hand.

Compared to traditional Japanese senbei, Kamahō senbei is a light beige color with a layer of light caramel spots on the surface. It is rough to the touch and covered with tiny pores.

At a glance, you can tell the difference between Kamahō senbei and the hard, smooth, and glossy ordinary senbei that you tasted when you lived at Mr. Yukinari's house in Kitakami-go.

There are also significant changes in taste.

Ordinary senbei has a rich aroma of soy sauce, seaweed and fried rice mixed together.

In addition to retaining the basic aroma of fried rice and a slight salty aroma from the soy sauce seasoning, Kamahōsenbei also has a caramel-like sweet aroma and a weak alkaline smell similar to baking soda.

This also determines the different textures and flavors of the two types of senbei.

It can be said that one side has a pure salty taste, while the other side has a refreshing taste with a balance of salty, fresh and sweet.

Luo Mu tried to take a bite of the Kamahen Senbei.

There was a click.

The Kamaheno Senbei has a light and fluffy texture when you put it in your mouth, and has a crispness similar to that of puffed food.

When the tip of your tongue touches the senbei, you'll feel tiny bubbles bursting as if dancing on the tip of your tongue, somewhat similar to the feeling of drinking a carbonated drink, but not as strong.

In addition, Kamahume senbei is a non-fried senbei, and its refreshing taste with moderate sweetness and saltiness makes you feel almost not greasy.

It can be said that this is a snack that is very suitable for the elderly living in Fuyan Town.

The taste is not as strong as ordinary senbei, but it has a sweet aftertaste that makes people want to eat it again.

"good to eat!"

Luo Mu's eyes lit up and he gave a simple, plain but very true evaluation.

After finishing the Kamahene Senbei in his hand in a few bites and wiping his hands with a towel, Luo Mu began to distribute the Kamahene Senbei to the greedy Pokémon.

——Ask him why he didn’t share it with the Pokémon right away, but tasted it himself first?
That's of course because it's better to favor one Pokémon and make other Pokémon unhappy.

It would be better for me to take the lead from the beginning. If they can't compete for the first place, then this kind of thing won't happen, right?

On the shore, Moltres, squatting like a hen, watched this scene. A hint of envy flashed in her eyes, and she felt a little uncomfortable.

But soon, as if Moltres remembered something, the envy in her eyes was quickly replaced by determination.

Soon.

The Kamahen Senbei that the old woman gave were eaten up by Luo Mu and the Pokémon.

Luo Mu poured himself a few cups of oolong tea, which tasted even better when paired with Kamahena senbei.

But this is just a snack.

After taking a refreshing bath in the hot spring, Luo Mu changed into the bathrobe prepared by the hotel and ran to the hotel front desk to order a large dinner with the specialties of Fuyan Town.

Although the hotel is equipped with a restaurant and a place for Pokémon, Luo Mu has no plans to bring the Pokémon there.

It’s safer to eat in the room.

While ordering food, Luo Mu met Bonnie again.

This lady had no sense of being a boss at all. She was blending in with many people in the restaurant, eating a bowl of steaming spicy ramen with her head down.

Just like Gurusha is a trainer specializing in ice, but he is not only afraid of heat, but also cold.

As one of the Four Heavenly Kings who specializes in ice, Bonnie, who comes from a cold place, has a rather contrasting love for everything related to heat.

In order to hone herself, she traveled thousands of miles to the Hoenn region, where the climate is almost tropical all year round, saying that it was to train herself and the ice-type Pokémon.

Even though most areas here are not suitable for ice-type Pokémon to live in.

She also likes to eat steaming hot spicy ramen, and even if she sweats while eating, she thinks it is a form of training for herself.

——This is what Bonnie said when she saw Luo Mu ordering food and pulled him to eat a bowl of ramen with her.

Bonnie also said that she felt that this level of training was far from enough. In terms of the strong will and physique trained in extreme environments, she was not as good as Genji, who had braved the waves on the sea for decades.

This also means that even though she is one of the Four Heavenly Kings with ice attributes, when she faces Genji, she is not like Kona and Adu from the neighboring Kanto region, who rely on their attribute advantages to win and keep the opponent firmly in front of the championship throne.

Most of the battles between her and Genji ended with more losses than wins.

Bonnie could already feel that she had been stagnant in the field of trainer for several years.

She has never been able to break through herself.

Because of this, she felt very complicated when she saw Luo Mu defeat Genji without even sending out his main force.

She saw in Luo Mu a brilliance that was comparable to Mikoli and Daigo, and even surpassed them after the incident in Larus City.

And the blurry photos of the opponent's back as he fought against such a powerful ancient Pokémon deeply inspired her.

Therefore, she should thank Luo Mu even more because Luo Mu helped her make up her mind.

It was only when she heard Dr. Rondo say that the other party was coming to stay that she made a special appearance at the hotel that she had given full authority to others to represent her.

"I even thought about not being a trainer anymore and just going home to inherit the family business and title."

"But now, I may have the courage to go places I have never tried before and train my body and mind."

"——Then, at the end of the Caiyou Conference in a month, challenge the Champions League again."

Bonnie put down her chopsticks and in front of her was a huge bowl of ramen with even the soup drunk up completely.

Obviously, her slightly flushed face was affected by the spicy ramen, but Luo Mu somehow caught a glimpse of the burning heart beneath the cold appearance of this Four Heavenly Kings who should be specialized in ice attribute.

Even though Genji's dragon Pokémon have developed strong physiques over the decades of sailing on the sea.

Her own solid ice will surely freeze it. She is just a trainer in her thirties or forties, and now is the age for her to fight hard.

As if she had finally vented out the pent-up feelings in her heart, Bonnie showed a relieved expression and said to Luo Mu with a smile: "In summary, I will set out for training tomorrow. Chimney Mountain, which is not erupting, is really not challenging. This time, the destination should be the desert."

"Thank you for staying here and listening to me. You can stay in the hotel as long as you want. Accommodation and meals are all free. I hope this can show my gratitude in a small way."

After Bonnie inexplicably or unexpectedly waived all hotel expenses, Luo Mu ordered his meal and returned to his room.

They didn't have to wait long before the sumptuous food was brought into the room one after another.

The long table was filled with food, and the tempting aroma kept penetrating into the nose.

After having a feast with the Roentgens, Luo Mu took his own Pokémon who had the desire and were not so conspicuous in size to experience the streets of Kamuyan Town at night.

The busy and crowded streets almost separated them. When Luo Mu left the crowd, he was still a little frightened.

How scary! Are these the tourists at the tourist attraction?

It’s more like I’m being pushed by the crowd than walking by myself.

Now Luo Mu would rather stay in the hotel and soak in the hot springs than go to the streets of Fuyan Town at night.

late at night.

The Pokémon had all gone to bed, but Luo Mu didn't feel sleepy at all, probably because he had drunk a lot of oolong tea.

I could only lie flat on the soft bed, counting the sheep with lifeless eyes, trying to fall asleep early.

But at this moment, a slight unusual sound suddenly came from the courtyard outside.

Sounds like water?

Without waking up the Pokémon that were about to surround him, Luo Mu quietly got up, opened the sliding door, and walked towards the source of the sound in the courtyard.

——The sound came from the hot spring.

As if he realized something, Luo Mu subconsciously slowed down his pace, then used a large rock placed at the corner to cover his body and looked into the hot spring pool.

A stranger? A wild Pokémon? Or a domestic Pokémon that strayed here?
Luo Mu had thought of all these possibilities, but he never expected that he would see this scene.

——The Moltres, who had been unwilling to enter the hot spring pool in the afternoon, now had most of its body submerged in the water.

Although it was in the water, its folded wings were still burning with orange-red flames.

It looks quite magical.

But none of this is the point.

".hiss."

He subconsciously took a breath of cold air. At this moment, Luo Mu finally realized why Moltres was so unwilling to go into the water.

Among the Pokémon he brought to Hoenn this time, Roentgen, Victini, Ninetales, and Rhino are all Pokémon whose bodies are covered with hair.

Well known.

When hair comes into contact with water, unless it is waterproof fur, most hair will become drooping due to being soaked in water.

Similar to the way Lukia's Tanabata bluebird's wings looked when they met water, today the Roentgen cat's rather domineering mane also enjoyed the same treatment.

However, even though its wet fur looks a bit disheveled, the Roentgen cat's agile and explosive body makes up for it.

And the Nine-Tailed Fox.

Even though its fluffy hair is wet, its temperament is not diminished at all, and its body shape is flawlessly symmetrical and beautiful.

Not to mention the two small Pokémon, Messenger Bird and Victini.

But looking at the Moltres in the hot spring pool, Luo Mu thought for a long time with a serious expression, and finally he could only think of one word to describe the current Moltres.

Even though all its feathers were wet, the Moltres' body did not shrink at all, which means - it was solid!

This is completely contradictory to what Moltres usually says, that it looks fat because its feathers are actually fluffy!
Luo Mu didn't dare to make a sound. He was afraid that if Moltres knew that he knew its secret, it would become angry and kill him for keeping the secret.

He decided to take this secret to his grave, and by the way, when he returned to the farm, he would urge Moltres to lose weight.

With mixed feelings, Luo Mu almost didn't sleep all night.

The next day, he could only continue to tour the scenery of Fuyan Town with a pair of faint panda eyes.

Luo Mu relaxed for a total of three days in Fuyan Town.

During this time, he also received calls from Nemo, Shinji, and Shizuka.

On the other end of the phone, Nimo excitedly asked Luo Mu if he was still in Larus City. Luo Mu denied it without hesitation and could only say with regret that he was now in Fuyan Town, which was completely opposite to their travel route.

Regardless of Nemo who was suddenly in despair, Luo Mu kept saying that it was a close call and that he was lucky to have made plans and avoided the risk of being challenged by Nemo in advance, and then asked about the recent situation of Shinji and Shizuka.

Compared to Neemo who has already started training the second team, the next challenge for the two of them is the Hoenn League Saiyuu Tournament, which is the top priority.

The two people's answers also made Luo Mu quite pleased.

They have successfully defeated the twin gym leaders Xiaofeng and Xiaonan of the Green Ridge Gym in a doubles match and won the Green Ridge Badge.

At present, the only thing missing from collecting all eight badges of the Hoenn region is the Glaze Badge of the Glaze Gym.

Shinji plans to find a small island near Green Ridge City, train there, and then head to the last gym when he is fully prepared.

I can only say that this decision is very much in his style.

Luo Mu remembered that Xiaozhi said in Larus City that he had passed the Inyu Gym in Inyu City and was on his way to the Green Ridge Gym.

I came here after hearing about the battle tower in Larus City.

It seems that compared to Satoshi who has been traveling in the Hoenn region all the time, Shinji and his friends who returned to Padia and stayed there for almost half a month are actually faster.

After encouraging them again, Luo Mu hung up the phone.

In short, he had great confidence in his students and did not think that collecting eight badges would be difficult for them.

Rather than worrying about whether Shinji and Shizuka can pass Adam's test, Luo Mu is more concerned about another thing.

". Calculating the time, I'm afraid it will only be a few days."

Now that Ash has made his way to Green Ridge City after the incident in Larus City.

So, the plot where the Aqua Fleet and the Magma Team cause trouble and Groudon and Kyogre are revived should be very close.

However, considering the distance between Fuyan Town and that place, and the plot in the animation, the scope of the disaster only affected a small island.

Luo Mu thought that if there were no unexpected factors, there was no need for him to worry about such trivial matters.

Anyway, Adu should have already infiltrated the Lava Team. With him around, there would be no problem protecting those kids.

As for yourself, just enjoy your vacation peacefully.

Anyway, Groudon and Kyogre couldn't fight each other. After a few rounds of fighting, each of them served as Ash and Pikachu's mounts, and then went back home.

Instead of getting involved in this matter, it would be better to go find Lugia and Giant Dragonite, and take a trip to the Kanto Sea to look for traces of the giant poisonous jellyfish.
