Chapter 649: Explosion Fan Bonnie

At the foot of the dormant Chimney Mountain, the town of Fuyan stands amidst lush nature.

Although the town of Fuyan looks quite "desolate" and simple in the game "Emerald", in fact, it not only has tall modern buildings, but also hot springs everywhere.

The greenery is also excellent due to the influence of the volcano. The lush plants thrive, making the whole town seem to be surrounded by the nature of Hoenn.

Although it is not as spacious as a regular city, Fuyan Town stands out among the small towns named after them.

This is probably also closely related to the extremely developed tourism industry in Fuyan Town.

As mentioned before, due to its excellent geographical conditions, compared to the single one in the game, Fuyan Town truly realizes the concept of "hot springs everywhere".

Walking along the busy streets of the town that seem like a festival, you will occasionally smell the smell of sulfur. At this time, if you look in the direction of the smell, you will most likely see a hot spring of varying sizes.

Some are open-air hot springs for private use, while others are hot springs prepared by the hotel for its guests.

Because of the Japanese-like culture, the hot springs here are basically mixed bathing for men and women, but if you are really embarrassed, there are also hot springs open to single genders or even single people.

If you choose that, the price won't be that great.

Apart from the hot springs occupied by humans, the people of Fuyan Town do not actually have a complete monopoly on such natural resources.

Most of the hot springs are located in wild areas, and those outside of urban life have been deliberately left undeveloped, leaving them in their natural state to the wild Pokémon living at the foot of Chimney Mountain.

Just like the fire-breathing camels that Luo Mu and a group of tourists were riding on. According to the tour guide who led the way, every time they made a trip from Fuhuo City to Fuyan Town, before returning, the fire-breathing camels would go to the wild hot springs to enjoy for a while before setting off again.

You can run back and forth two or three times a day, and you can go in to enjoy the warmth and wash away your fatigue at any time.

As a former 996 cattle and horses, Luo Mu once again sighed that his previous life was probably not even as good as those of the fire-breathing camels.

Fortunately, life is getting better day by day.

Look, he is here to travel, isn’t he?

Although I also want to go out into the wild and see what the hot springs are like for wild Pokémon, which Pokémon can take hot springs, and whether they will show any interesting reactions while taking hot springs.

But Luo Mu still chose to follow Dr. Rondo's instructions.

No matter how much he wanted to visit a certain scenic spot or place, the first thing he had to do when he arrived in Fuyan Town was to find his own place to live.

——As a popular tourist city, sometimes even if you have money, there is a chance that you cannot find a place to live.

Not to mention people like Luo Mu, who have certain privacy requirements and want to enjoy a huge hot spring pool alone.

After a little thought.

Ignoring the prompt system that was trying to show his presence, Luo Mu, who never liked cheating, stopped an old lady with a kind and amiable face and asked her for the direction of the "Hot Spring Street".

The other party's way of giving directions is also very interesting.

"Young man, just follow the flow of people and you will reach the hot spring street."

The old woman, carrying a bamboo basket covered with soft cloth that looked like it was carefully woven, pointed the way for Luo Mu quite seriously.

Luo Mu was about to open his mouth to thank the old lady, who was impressed by her wide knowledge and sharp words. However, he underestimated the enthusiasm of this old lady towards tourists even though most of her teeth had fallen out and her speech was lisp.

"It looks like this is your first time in Buyan Town, right?"

"Take this, it's a specialty of Fuyan Town!"

As she spoke, the old woman took out a bunch of things from the bamboo basket very "skillfully" with irresistible strength and means, and stuffed them into Luo Mu's arms.

Luo Mu's first reaction was that he might have encountered the forced sales tactics that are typical when traveling to certain places.

But when he lowered his head to see what the old woman had stuffed into his pocket, he fell silent.

Luo Mu would not be surprised to see several bags of well-packaged Kamaheno senbei, which are the specialty of Kamaheno Town.

But the moment he saw something other than the local specialty Kamahene senbei, Luo Mu fell silent.

——Is this... an elf egg?

Luo Mu was about to ask what was going on, but found that the old woman had disappeared.

When I looked back, I found that the other person had appeared behind me.

The old woman was still asked for directions, but this time it was by a young tourist couple dressed as a couple.

She still gave the same answer, "Follow the crowd, the place with the most people is the hot spring street."

Then it was the familiar forced-stuffing segment again. Luo Mu watched helplessly as the old woman stuffed the Kamahen Senbei and the Elf Egg into the couple.

And the other party had no intention of turning around and asking for an exorbitant price.

——It’s like the old lady just liked me, or she was really enthusiastic and gave it to me directly.

Especially when Luo Mu was forced to hold the pile of "gifts" and walk on the way to the "Hot Spring Street".

He witnessed many times the same enthusiastic old grandfather and old woman, using the same method to stuff a bunch of local specialties into the confused tourists, and occasionally someone would be stuffed with an extra elf egg like him.

Luo Mu was a little confused.

Or does this thing look like an elf egg, but is actually some kind of special hot spring egg?

With such doubts in mind, Luo Mu walked into the bustling hot spring street and came to his destination, the hot spring hotel recommended by Dr. Rondo.

The name of the shop "Unmelted Ice" is hard to imagine that this is the name of a hot spring hotel.

The decoration style is somewhat incompatible with the style of the hot spring street.

Compared to those hot spring hotels with full Japanese style, this one is more like a hot spring hotel opened by a Western aristocrat in Japan, with a feeling of combining Japanese and Western styles.

Dr. Rondo said that he knew the proprietress of this hot spring hotel, and even Genji, who participated in the exhibition match that day, was invited by him through the proprietress's relationship.

However, Luo Mu may not necessarily meet the proprietress. After all, this hot spring hotel seems to be just one of her many businesses in Hoenn.

What Luo Mu has to do now is very simple. Although Dr. Rondo has already booked a room for him, in order to avoid any further complications, it is better to check in as soon as possible.

There is a saying that goes, once night falls, even if you are in the most remote hotel in Fuyan Town, you may not be able to book a vacant room, even if the room does not have its own hot spring.

Pokémon Center, you ask?
That place is of a hellish level of difficulty. Without some means and perseverance, you can't even get a bed in the dormitory.

Just as Luo Mu was about to walk into the hotel, the door in front of him opened automatically from the inside.

This is not an automatic door.

At the entrance behind the open door, a noble lady with golden hair and wearing a purple dress looked at me with a smile.

It was she who opened the door. She crossed her arms, wearing white silk gloves in the hot weather of Fuyan Town, as if she had anticipated Luo Mu's arrival.

"You're finally here, Luo Mujun."

Her slightly cold voice instantly brought Luo Mu back to his senses, and also made Luo Mu realize something.

——This lady knows me.

If nothing unexpected happens, she should be the proprietress that Dr. Rondo mentioned.

Apart from the fact that the outfit was somewhat out of season, it also looked strangely familiar to Luo Mu.
"Uh hello, I have reserved a room."

Luo Mu could only nod in response to the other party's greeting.

"Of course, I have reserved your room in advance."

The blonde lady nodded slightly, her eyes fell on the pile of things in Luo Mu's arms, and the beautiful eyebrows on her well-maintained face raised slightly.

"It seems that the local elders think you are a good person, otherwise they wouldn't have given you so many things and even entrusted you with the elf egg."

"That's right. Even though it had nothing to do with you, you chose to stand up and successfully turned the tide in the Larus City incident a few days ago. With their old and cunning eyes, it is definitely not difficult for them to see your noble character."

Luo Mu: “???”

Rather than being fully aware of his performance in Larus City, Luo Mu was more surprised at what the other party said about the old man and the elf eggs.

No, it’s really an elf egg?
As if she noticed Luo Mu's surprise, the blonde lady smiled and said, "Come in first, we'll talk about this while we walk."

“——Although it may be a little late, please allow me to introduce myself.”

"I'm Bonnie, and as you can see, I'm the owner of this "Unmelted Ice" hot spring hotel."

"But others seem to prefer to call me Ice Bonnie."

"He also happens to be a colleague of the admirable Genji Tenno whom you defeated three days ago."

Walking in the beautifully decorated hotel corridor, the solid wooden floor did not make sharp creaking and decaying sounds like in many dilapidated hotels.

Just like the exterior style, the interior decoration style is exactly the same. If you think about it carefully, this may be the other party's aesthetic style.

Luo Mu secretly looked at the back of the blonde lady who was walking and leading the way in front of him, holding a gorgeous fan that she had taken out from somewhere.

Bonnie, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Ice in the Hoenn region.

Also known as Explosion Fan Bonnie, the future ace Ice Ghost has a super-evolved frozen skin called Big Explosion. Its main strategy is that even if I lose, you will definitely not have a good time.

In contrast to her elegant appearance, her style of play is quite "passionate" and "generous".

To be honest, Luo Mu really didn't expect that the acquaintance Dr. Rondo was talking about was this person.

However, judging from the fact that the other party was able to help Professor Rand invite a trainer of Genji's level, as well as the name of the inn and her attire, this information had already been given out.

The only difference is that Luo Mu did not intentionally connect these together.

It is also possible that in the battle in Larus City, in order to seek the balance on the battlefield between Hoenn Rayquaza, Odd-Color Rayquaza and Deoxys, he burned too many brain cells and became a little dull.

Luo Mu lowered his head again and looked at the elf egg in his arms.

According to Bonnie, the old woman gave him the elf egg because she judged from experience that he was a trustworthy person, so she gave him the elf egg without saying a word.

Let’s not discuss why the other party can make judgments based on experience.

But Bonnie told Luo Mu clearly the motives of those old ladies and old men.

Because Fuyan Town is a great retirement town, most of the residents living here are actually elderly people.

They use the hot springs unique to Fuyan Town to heal their aging bodies and spend the rest of their lives here.

These elderly people are usually accompanied by the Pokémon they raised since childhood.

Among these Pokémon that accompany the elderly, some of them will occasionally give birth to offspring, which is inevitable.

The old people knew that they didn’t have much time left and were worried that these elf eggs would not have a good home after hatching.

So they walked on the streets of this small town full of tourists, and based on their own experience, they judged whether the tourists were worthy of trust.

If you are in doubt, just give them some of the popular local specialty Kamaheno senbei.

If they can tell at a glance that someone will take good care of Pokémon, they will give their Pokémon eggs to that person to take care of them.

Of course, the elders did not just give away the elf eggs and leave them alone. In order to avoid the one in ten thousand possibility of making a mistake, these elders would also pass on information through their own "village intelligence network".

The old man who happens to pass by you, the proprietress of the grocery store where you buy local specialties, may all be silently observing your behavior.

"By the way, although I'm not old yet, I'm also a member of the intelligence network~"

Bonnie paused, turned around, gave a barely perceptible smile, and said jokingly.

Luo Mu: “.”

"Haha, don't worry, I will give you a full score of 100."

As if she was amused by Luo Mu's expression, Bonnie added with a smile.

Although she is good at Ice-attribute Pokémon, she is not as cold as most Ice-attribute trainers.

Luo Mu was not very clear during the battle, but from this short period of time together, he actually had the impression that the other party was a "heroic and elegant lady", which was full of flaws.

"Well, since you've entrusted it to me, I'll take good care of it, no matter what Pokémon it hatches."

Luo Mu made a serious promise to Bonnie, and his eyes softened as he looked at the elf egg.

I don’t know if this can be considered as being reminded of one’s past.

Luo Mu suddenly thought of Dragonite's trainer, Leah.

During her old age, if Dragonite brought back Pokémon eggs, she would probably be like the old people in Kamafire Town, worrying about what would happen to the Pokémon that accompanied her and their offspring after her death in the future.

Then, she will carefully select a worthy person and solemnly entrust the elf egg to that person.

Bonnie did not miss the change in Luo Mu's expression.

The smile on her face deepened.

As expected, he is not only a very powerful trainer, but also a good person.
