Chapter 181: Old Turtle?

In front of the wooden house in the Safari Zone, an old man wearing a washed-out denim suit and a lean figure was looking Huo La up and down, his eyes sharp but carrying a bit of ease: "You are Huo La? You do look young, that old thing Oak blew you up to be god-like."

Huo La curled his lips, secretly slandering in his heart.

If it weren't for knowing that this Mr. Kaiser in front of him had a fiery temper and would pull a gun and point it at people's heads at every turn, he would have wanted to refute a few words on the spot.

But on the surface, he still maintained politeness: "Mr. Kaiser, you specifically asked Professor Oak to call me here, there must be something to ask, right?"

"Since you can come, I think Oak has already mentioned my business to you." Kaiser withdrew his gaze, put his hands on his hips and leaned against the door frame, his tone casual.

Huo La nodded first, then shook his head, explaining truthfully: "Professor Oak did mention a word to me, but his lab encountered an attack by unknown forces some time ago, and things were too many and too messy, so he just mentioned it in passing and didn't say the specific situation."

"What?!" Hearing the word "attack," Kaiser's expression changed instantly, his hand reflexively touched the holster at his waist, and his tone became urgent. "That old turtle Oak actually encountered an attack?! Who did it? Is he okay?"

"Uh... old turtle?" Bilan leaned over to Huo La's side, whispering, clearly amused by this peculiar nickname.

"Cough, cough!" Kaiser also realized that he had shouted a nickname he shouldn't have said in his urgency, his old face turned red, and he hurriedly coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment, looked at Huo La again, and his tone slowed down a bit. "That, Oak, he didn't get hurt, right? Is the lab's loss serious?"

Huo La saw his embarrassment and hurriedly opened his mouth to clear the siege: "Don't worry, it's nothing big. The attackers seemed to be just looking for someone or something, and left when they couldn't find it. Professor Oak only suffered minor injuries, and the lab didn't have any losses."

Kaiser breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest: "It's good that he's okay, it's good that he's okay. If that old thing had an accident, life would be less and less interesting."

He looked at the three of Huo La, pondered for a moment, and then turned to walk toward the wooden house: "Forget it, don't talk about this. It's almost dinner time, you've been on the road and are tired, go into the house first, talk about the main business I'm looking for you for while eating."

Seeing Kaiser take the initiative to change the subject, Huo La didn't ask any more questions, nodded and took Bilan to follow.

Brock on the side immediately said enthusiastically: "Mr. Kaiser, let me help you! I am a professional Pokémon Breeder, and I am also good at cooking!"

"Oh? You have this skill?" Kaiser raised his eyebrows and nodded with a smile. "That's great, just save me from being busy!"

At dinner time, steaming curry was placed on the dining table in the wooden house, and the rich aroma filled the air.

"The matter is just like this." Kaiser put down the spoon, wiped his mouth with a tissue, leaned back, leaned against the back of the chair and spoke slowly, briefly telling the story of Ash and the others repelling Team Rocket and saving Dragonair and Dratini.

Huo La, Brock, and Bilan looked at each other and nodded one after another.

This experience did not deviate much from the plot in Huo La's memory, the core was Team Rocket's trio attacking Dragon-type Pokémon, and finally being successfully stopped by Ash and the others.

Kaiser also heard from Ash and the others when he was entertaining them that Huo La had seen a Super Ancient Dragonite, which is why he was in a hurry to contact Professor Oak and had to call Huo La over.

"Then Mr. Kaiser, you specifically looked for me, what exactly is the matter?" Huo La frowned, put down the knife and fork in his hand, and took the lead in asking the doubt, and even deliberately made a preventive shot in advance. "First say, if you want to see the Super Ancient Dragonite, then I really can't help you—I don't know where it is now."

"No, it's not to find the Super Ancient Dragonite." Kaiser shook his head, got up and walked to the sideboard, pulled open the drawer and searched for a while, took out a folded newspaper, and handed it to Huo La.

Huo La took the newspaper suspiciously, unfolded it, and saw that it was published with Blaine's paper on Super Ancient Pokémon, and a slightly blurry photo of Dragonite was printed next to it—it was the image of the Super Ancient Dragonite.

"Uh... what does this mean?" Huo La was even more confused, looked up at Kaiser.

"Sigh, I'm looking for you, and it has something to do with this photo." Kaiser sighed, his tone becoming solemn. "The Dratini I know, no, it should be Dragonair now, it has no problem itself. But its newly hatched child has some strange black patterns on its body. Judging from the style of the patterns, it is somewhat similar to the Super Ancient Dragonite in this newspaper."

"What!"

Huo La slammed the table, stood up abruptly, his eyes full of incredulity, and his voice was raised a few points unconsciously—Dragonair's child has black patterns similar to the Super Ancient Dragonite?

Kaiser nodded heavily, his tone incomparable certainty: "That's right, I absolutely didn't see it wrong. According to what was written in Blaine's paper, this kind of pattern is the embodiment of the energy of Super Ancient Pokémon. I'm also puzzled, how could such a pattern appear on a Dratini cub, even if the color is very light."

"Have you contacted Professor Blaine about this?" Huo La asked.

A bitter smile appeared on Kaiser's face, and he shook his head helplessly: "To be honest, I contacted Professor Oak at the beginning, just to ask him to help connect with Professor Blaine. But after he finished listening to my situation, he said bluntly that contacting you might be more useful than finding Professor Blaine."

"At that time, I was particularly puzzled, what kind of medicine was Oak selling in this gourd." Kaiser leaned against the back of the chair, his fingers tapping the table unconsciously, his tone full of the confusion at the beginning. "Professor Blaine is the expert who studies Super Ancient Pokémon. He didn't find him, but recommended you, a young Trainer, I really can't figure out the truth."

He paused, changed the subject, and his expression became more solemn: "So at first I didn't listen to him at all, and strongly requested him to help contact Professor Blaine. Until later I really contacted Professor Blaine, and he told me some things on the phone—some inside information that was not written in the paper, I completely changed my mind, and went to find Professor Oak again, with a firm attitude that I must have you come over."

Facing Kaiser's words, Huo La didn't have the slightest discomfort, let alone half a displeasure, but nodded calmly.

He knew very well in his heart that although the relevant arguments and inferences about Super Ancient Pokémon came from him, the inside story of this matter was known to only a few people.

Kaiser, as an outsider, didn't believe Professor Oak's recommendation at first, and then changed his mind based on Professor Blaine's inside information, which was the most reasonable attitude.

If Kaiser easily believed that he, a young man, could solve the problems related to Super Ancient Pokémon just because of a word from Professor Oak, that would really be a problem—after all, this matter was too special to allow for any carelessness. ===== CHAPTER 182 =====
