Elf: I'm the only one who understands Pokémon

After quickly going through it in his mind, Fang Zhu quickly identified the voice's owner - Ling Yue!

A fourth-year apprentice from the Planet Gym, he is a member of the Golden Generation together with Mu Fan.

Because of Mu Fan, several main candidates of the Jade Chong Gym had contact with her, and as they gradually became familiar with her, Ling Yue no longer had the aloof look that refused people thousands of miles away, and Fang Zhu and others People talk more and more.

It was precisely because of this that Fang Zhu could quickly identify that the voice behind him was Ling Yue.

and……

Ling Yue is also the player who will compete with Fang Zhu in the quarterfinals.

At this moment, the conversation behind them was still continuing.

"It is true that the family can continue to operate, but only someone as amazing and talented as you, Miss, can the family continue to prosper.

The head of the family and the clan members also thought so. "

Faced with these words, Ling Yue answered very decisively: "Times have changed, and whether our clan is strong or not has little to do with the happiness of the people in the Forest of Planets.

The current existence of the family is more for the needs of rituals and customs. As long as there is someone to inherit it, I will do it. Xiaoxing and Xiaoying are also skilled in it. "

"It's different. Although they have mastered it, they are not at the same level as you, Miss. Moreover, isn't it that you returned to the family this time to send a signal of return?

You know, whether it is the head of the family or the clan members, they are all very happy! "

"I just took Gardevoir back for some special training with my grandma for this competition, and at the same time visited the old man. I have no intention of returning to the family.

I apologize for the misunderstanding and confusion caused. "

Ling Yue paused for a while and continued: "I thought that after I passed the Soaring Trial and left the family that year, no one would have any thoughts about me succeeding as the clan leader."

"No matter what, I will never give up the idea of ​​persuading the young lady to return to the family. Besides, the next game..."

Fang Zhu couldn't hear the words that followed clearly, because Big Tongue and Big Needle Bee had already ordered the dishes, and the waiter was asking him what he wanted to eat with a smile on his face.

"Hmm...I'd like a piece of baked lobster with cheese, prime steak and poached eggs, thank you."

What about the next game?Isn't that just a competition with yourself? Isn't it...

Many ideas suddenly popped up in Fang Zhu's mind, but at this time he could only quickly find the dishes he wanted on the menu.

By the time Fang Zhu handed the menu to the waiter, the conversation behind him had ended.

I saw a capable woman in her 30s leaving the booth at the back and passing by Fang Zhu, followed by Ling Yue standing up.

"Fang Zhu?!"

When she walked to Fang Zhu's table, Ling Yue recognized him at a glance. The big golden tongue was so recognizable.

"Hi, Sister Lingyue."

Fang Zhu waved his hand awkwardly. They were just talking about something important, and it seemed to be related to him, and he happened to hear it. This kind of scene made Fang Zhu a little confused about how to deal with it.

"just."

Ling Yue didn't care about this, and sat down in the empty seat opposite Fang Zhu and next to Yuan Gai Turtle.

"At this time, I just need someone to talk to, otherwise my thoughts will not be clear. I originally wanted to go to Mu Fan, but you are about the same here."

At this time, Ling Yue's carefree look was completely different from when Fang Zhu first met her, but this was her nature, and she often looked like this in front of acquaintances.

"You heard the conversation just now, right?"

"Uh... from the point of view of the family needing you, yes."

Fang Zhu answered honestly.

"I know it's not good to express negative emotions, but I urgently need someone to talk to. I'm sorry, Fang Zhu.

If you're impatient, you can just put on the headphones. I just need to say it to acquaintances. I can't speak to strangers. I'll figure out how to compensate you afterwards, please. "

"Uh...you can."

Fang Zhu nodded.

Soon, Ling Yue spoke, but instead of telling a story, she spoke like a challenge.

“I was born into an ancient family named Yue in the Forest of Planets.

A long time ago, vicious Pokémon were rampant in the Forest of Planets, natural disasters also occurred from time to time, and the living environment of the people there was very harsh.

In this case, the Moon Clan, whose main occupations are stargazing, praying, and offering sacrifices, and who also have considerable strength, stepped forward to protect the people of the Forest of Planets.

Legend has it that the Moon Clan performs a special prayer dance every year to summon the legendary Pokémon Cresselia to bless them with peace in the new year.

Here's the backstory. "

Ling Yue continued to say this without taking a breath, and then continued: "I was born in such a family. Corresponding to that glorious history, the Yue clan is an extremely conservative clan. There are still many rules within.

There are extremely strict rules on how old you are to get married, what kind of person you want to marry, how long you have to leave the family before you have to return to the clan, when you are young enough to eat, and whether you can communicate with Pokémon.

When I was a child, the elders in the clan said that I had amazing talents in prayer and sacrifice. Although I don't know how they saw it, I was listed as a key training target.

How to walk, how to look and smile, how many bites of food to chew, how to dress... I have been required to learn these things since I was a child, as well as tea ceremony, flower arrangement, dance and other skills.

Since I was five years old, I have been the leader at the annual Planet Festival, praying to the legendary Pokémon Cresselia for peace in the new year with a moon dance.

My life seems to have been planned, and every minute, I have to act according to the arrangements of the clan. What's even more incredible is that they actually expect me to call out the evil that has not come in the past thousand years. Reselia. "

Ling Yue took a breath, then took a new water glass from the side and poured a glass of water. Before Fang Zhu could digest the previous content, she started talking again.

"When I was nine years old, I told my father that I didn't want this kind of life. I could give up my current salary and just want to be an ordinary teacher or trainer in the future.

Unexpectedly, my words received a heavy slap from my father, and even a tooth was lost.

I cried and went to my mother to talk to her, but what I got in exchange was a cold sentence: "You shouldn't have such thoughts."

Although my mother had a strict education, she always prepared delicious food for me, encouraged and comforted me, and carefully treated my wounds. After hearing my thoughts, my mother became extremely cold.

That day, I was in the room, treating my wounds with unskilled techniques. I will never forget the strength of that slap and the pain it caused. But from that day on, I never mentioned it again.

Fortunately, I have half an hour of free time every day.

Although I was under the supervision of my clan members, I could still secretly go to the bookstore in Quxing City and secretly watch things outside my clan on the pretext of studying.

Then, on my 15th birthday, I made the riskiest decision of my life.

While the clan members were drunk after celebrating, I took advantage of half an hour of free time every day to escape from the family and go to participate in the apprenticeship assessment at the Planet Gym, where I met my partner Larulas.

Later, I succeeded. Under the protection of the main force of the Huoxing Gym who was not a local, I finally broke away from the family temporarily and became an ordinary gym apprentice.

Last year, I returned to the clan and applied for a soaring trial to break away from the clan. This has been a tradition of the family since ancient times. Even if I succeeded in leaving the clan, the clan members who abide by the clan rules would not be able to refuse.

After delivering a large amount of resources and defeating Pokémon sent by my clan one after another, I successfully passed the trial and gained my freedom.

Under such circumstances, they actually want to let me go back and live a life that is like being imprisoned by chains. I can't understand it! "

After finally finishing speaking, Ling Yue took a breath.

"After talking to each other, I feel much better and my heart is clearer. I'm going to train with Pokémon.

Thanks, Fang Zhu. I won't disturb you anymore. Let's go. I'll go check out my inventory to see if there's anything good and let Mu Fan bring it to you. "

From the beginning to the end, in less than 5 minutes, Ling Yue stood up and prepared to leave.

Fang Zhu had just finished digesting the story at this time. He remembered the conversation between the tribesman and Ling Yue and said quickly: "Wait a minute, Sister Ling Yue, about our battle..."

"Pfft."

Looking at Fang Zhu's expression, Ling Yue couldn't help but laugh out loud: "What's the matter with your expression that you are worried that if I fail in the next game, I will be forced to return to the family? Don't worry, if I don't want to go back, they There is nothing we can do.

What the clan members just said was that in the next game, my mother, whom I haven’t seen in several years, will come to watch the game. Don’t let this affect your mentality. "

"No, I always try my best in battle."

Hearing this, Fang Zhu finally breathed a sigh of relief. Ling Yue guessed correctly, and she was indeed thinking about this.

After all, according to ordinary stories, there are often additional conditions for winning or losing this kind of competition, and the protagonist is always torn between whether to win or not.

"See you on the field in three days, Fang Zhu."
