After confirming with Miss Joy that the Coal Turtle could be discharged from the hospital, Xiaozhi took his two friends and rushed to the Cauldron Gym without stopping.
Fuyan Town.
Xiaozhi, who was anxious before, didn't pay too much attention to his surroundings. When he looked around for the second time, he realized that there was no flat ground along the way in the town.
It's more like a rather moist black soil.
On both sides of the road, a hot spring hotel opens from time to time... and there are many old ladies and grandfathers sitting at the door to enjoy the cool air.
"Boys, do you want to come in and take a rest~"
“It can relax congestion~”
The old ladies were smiling and waving, and the scene looked a bit strange.
Xiaozhi quickly quickened his pace. Obviously, there was nothing more attractive than the Kamayan Gym now.
...
Following the map's guidance, the three of them soon arrived in front of a gym.
This is a rather traditional wooden house with tiled dojo, and the roof is covered with deep red tiles that look like blazing flames.
But at this moment, there is another figure sitting on the steps at the door of Fuyan Gym.
This was a woman who was a few years older than Xiaozhi and others. Her long fiery red hair was tied up and spread out at the end of the braid like an explosion.
Wearing black short-sleeves, revealing a flat white belly, and wearing a pair of hip-hop wide-leg jeans on her lower body, she looks like a very out-of-the-box girl.
"Eh..."
But the latter just sat on the steps, his eyes dull, holding his cheek and sighing repeatedly.
Xiaozhi didn't doubt that he was there and quickly stepped forward to ask.
"Hello, I am here to challenge the trainer of Fuyan Gym. Is the gym leader here at home?"
Hearing this, Yasha finally reacted, and her whole body jumped up suddenly, looking like she was startled.
"Um...Um, oh, I am the gym leader Asha, please give me your advice!!"
She even bowed deeply at 90 degrees towards Xiaozhi, showing her restraint and embarrassment to the naked eye.
This actually confused Xiaozhi, because such words are usually said by challengers.
It seems that he is really a pure gym trainer.
"In that case, let's go in quickly and start fighting!"
Seeing this, Xiaozhi turned his back on the guest and headed towards the gym.
But Asha stood outside the door like a piece of wood, seemingly hesitant.
"I'm sorry, I can't accept your challenge..."
She suddenly bowed to Xiaozhi again and said:
"I'm planning to resign from my position at the Gym. I'm not qualified for this position yet."
Xiaozhi and three others: "?"
This was their first time seeing such a gym trainer.
"So what happened...?"
Xiaogang, like a close elder sister, gently patted Yasha on the shoulder.
He is a gym leader, and he knows that some gym leaders do have some psychological obstacles... Just overcome them.
It is worth mentioning that Xiaogang's definition of "big sister" is three years older than him.
And Yasha happened to be three years older than him, so Xiao Gang just found it boring.
Hearing this, Asha seemed to have found an outlet to talk to, and spoke out all her troubles.
"I just took over the Fuyan Gym two weeks ago and accepted two gym challenges..."
Without exception, they were defeated three times by the challenger and got the badge with extraordinary vigor.
It is said that they are still two novice trainers who have just started traveling.
You must know that she used to be an apprentice, watching her grandfather, the former fire-attribute king, compete in the gym challenge. There were not many people who could force her grandfather's power.
Most of them just clicked and gave them the badge after some pointers.
This has also resulted in their Fuyan Gym being considered by the outside world as a powerful and meaningful gym. "I am the one who has disgraced the Fuyan Gym!"
Asha sniffed, almost crying.
Even though she looks fashionable and has a flaming personality...but deep down she is an extremely emotional person.
Asha even felt that she was able to get the position of gym leader from her grandfather because of nepotism.
Grandpa watched these two battles as a referee. He was beaten three times twice in a row. Even grandpa, who was always kind, became silent and didn't say anything.
It looked like he was completely disappointed in himself.
After listening to Yasha's story, Xiaogang took the lead in comforting him:
"It's okay, it's like this the first time, just keep working hard next time."
Um, but why do these two fierce trainers that Asha talks about sound so familiar?
Xiaozhi next to him also quickly interjected:
"Yes, yes, I have a friend. Their gym is known as the weakest gym. They will even give you badges for free... but they are still as tenacious as Magikarp."
Xiaogang & Xiaolan: "..."
Is it a party now, and whoever is absent will be the topic?
But that's not the point of Asha.
"Well, just give away the badge for free. This kind of gym should be able to report it and seal it directly, right?"
Seeing that Asha seemed to want to find out which gym she was in, Xiaozhi quickly changed the topic and introduced Asha into the gym.
Don't really report the Cerulean Gym then...
Although Xiaoxia is guarding the Cerulean Gym now, Xiaozhi doesn't know if he can make a big move to put two big words "sealed" on the door of the Cerulean Gym if he really settles the old score.
...
Soon, everyone entered the gym.
After some encouragement from the three of them, Asha seemed to have plucked up the courage again.
"Okay! Xiaozhi from Zhenxin Town, then I, Asha, will accept your challenge!"
She clenched her fists and regained her confidence.
"This time I must prove to grandpa that I can also become a qualified gym leader!!"
Yasha waved her hand and finally walked at the front to lead the way.
The large open-air rock training ground seems to be surrounded by volcanic hot springs, with white water vapor steaming from time to time.
Tsk tsk...!
There will even be spouts of hot spring water that shoot straight into the sky.
"Is it a volcanic fountain...?"
Xiaozhi didn't dare to be careless. It seemed that he could still see a figure rushing up into the air along the fountain.
And when everyone came here...an old man wearing a casual kimono robe and curly white hair also walked in front of everyone.
Wearing rimless glasses, he crossed his arms and walked seriously to the referee's position.
"Is this the former king? He looks like an ordinary grandpa..."
Xiaozhi couldn't help but sigh secretly.
Most kings have unique outfits...
For example, the Dragon King looks like a rough old captain, or the Ice King Bonnie looks like a gorgeous lady.
But the man in front of me really looks like an ordinary grandpa.
He was dressed in this way, and he had just seen several old men with the same look on the road.
