Chapter 984: Special Ingredients in Honglian Town
"That's really a pity." Xia Bo sighed. Although he was a cadre of the Rocket Team, he also liked fighting from the bottom of his heart. Therefore, being able to fight with a seemingly powerful trainer was attractive enough. However, what he did not expect was that Heath did not like fighting. This made Xia Bo feel a little regretful, but Xia Bo would not force Heath to do anything. After all, there are all kinds of people in the world these days. Some people like fighting, while others do not accept fighting at all. An old friend of Xia Bo does not like fighting.
Heath smiled awkwardly. He really had no interest in the battle. Otherwise, according to what Xia Bo said, fighting would be a good choice. Charizard became quiet after looking at Xia Bo, which made Xia Bo curious why Charizard was like this. Heath knew why, because he had just told Charizard that Xia Bo was a gym leader, just like Qianli. Charizard lost interest after knowing this. For Charizard now, a strong opponent is his motivation to challenge.
Heath was very glad that Charizard had never fought against Qianli and Xia Bo. After all, Heath knew very well that Qianli and Xia Bo were definitely very strong and could not be described as weak at all. They were completely different types from the elite gym apprentice that Charizard had fought against before. Although the other party was also an elite apprentice, he was not a gym master after all, and it was not easy to become a gym master.
"Mr. Xia Bo, by the way, how long have you been in Honglian Town?" Heath thought of something. Although now is not a good time to dig out Team Rocket, it doesn't matter. Heath has another problem to solve, which is the special food in Honglian Town. You must know that the most fundamental purpose of Heath coming to Honglian Town is for the city achievements of Honglian Town. Completing the city achievements has now become something Heath does every time he goes to a different city.
"Huh? For a lifetime, hahaha, I was born on this land." Xia Bo was stunned for a moment, then laughed heartily. Musashi on the side was a little curious why Heath would ask such a question. After all, she knew Heath well. He would not be so enthusiastic to most of the guests, let alone the first time he met them. As for Xiaoyao, she didn't have any idea. She was exercising under the supervision of senior brother Farfetch'd, and her basic skills still needed to be honed today.
After hearing Xia Bo's answer, Heath nodded subconsciously. It must be said that Xia Bo's statement was similar to what he thought. After all, Xia Bo was the gym master of Honglian Town, and the gym master with the longest time in office. The other party was most likely the indigenous people of Honglian Town. If that was the case, then his question would most likely be answered. Heath rubbed his hands and he was a little expectant.
"Then may I ask, what is the most legendary and representative food in Honglian Town?" Heath licked his lips, but he had some ideas in his heart. After all, Honglian Town is surrounded by the sea and there is a volcano in the middle. There are basically no wild Pokémon living there, so the special ingredients of this place are probably related to the sea.
"Oh, this, you are talking about. This is actually very simple. It's red fruit mixed with jellyfish." Xia Bo ate a roasted Slowpoke tail. The tail was roasted very well. The only problem was that it was a bit troublesome for an elderly person like Xia Bo to think about something while eating, as it was easy to choke.
Red fruit? Jellyfish?
Heath was a little confused, but he knew very well that the so-called jellyfish was actually a kind of jellyfish, which was a very common food even in the world of Pokémon. There was nothing strange about it. However, what Heath cared about was the thing called Vermillion Fruit, which made Heath feel like he had traveled to the wrong place.
After all, in the immortal cultivation novels or time-travel novels I read in my previous life, there were more or less references to the red fruit, a natural treasure. It was often a very valuable divine object, and a must-have adventure for the protagonist. However, Heath also knew that red fruit actually refers to all red fruits, of course, persimmons. The only thing Heath didn't know was what kind of red fruit Xia Bo was talking about? It couldn't be a natural treasure, right? That was too outrageous.
"Um... may I ask what this red fruit is?" Heath couldn't help but ask. Could it really be the red fruit he was thinking of?
"Huh? It's the volcanic persimmon that is a specialty of our place." Xia Bo looked at Heath curiously. The most famous specialty of Honglian Town is the volcanic persimmon, which is a household name. Unfortunately, it is a question whether this famous specialty can continue to exist in the future. After all, Honglian Town will soon be gone.
Heath nodded, pretending to understand, but he actually didn't know what this volcanic persimmon was. But it didn't matter, he could just look it up later , it wasn't a big problem.
Just when Heath was about to continue asking for some information about the volcanic persimmons and this famous dish, a noisy sound was heard outside, which immediately attracted the attention of Xia Bo and Musashi. However, Xia Bo just took a look, while Musashi quickly walked to the window and took a look, then immediately walked out. Heath was a little curious, so he took a look as well, and then saw the two young men handing out flyers who he had just seen arguing with the Rocket Team staff next to the Pokémon House.
The corner of Heath's mouth twitched, and then he glanced at Xia Bo who was walking over with a skewers and a look of spectator watching the show. Although his acting skills were not as good as Sakaki's, they were also very good. Heath felt that these guys on Team Rocket were simply born actors, and it would be a pity if they didn't win an award.
"It's these two kids." Xia Bo recognized the two young men outside the dining car at a glance. He couldn't help but sigh. Heath glanced at Xia Bo. Why did he look like he had a lot of stories?
"Does Master Xia know them?" Heath admitted that he was indeed a little curious, so he was naturally willing to be the supporting actor. Otherwise, what would he do if Master Xia didn't want to speak anymore?
"Of course I know them. These two guys... are my apprentices in the gym." Xia Bo's expression was a little complicated. Heath raised his eyebrows. Oh my god, there is such a relationship? But these two young people must not know Xia Bo's identity, right?
