A person abandoned by the Pokémon world

"Thank you for your hard work. I'm fine now. Everyone, take a good rest."

After hearing this, some of the Pokémon immediately closed their eyes and fell asleep, obviously they were really tired.

Soraya ran to Bai An's arms and curled up, falling asleep under Bai An's occasional caress.

Bai An sat quietly on the bed, looking at the trees outside the window.

Among the many trees, only the tree by the window has sparse leaves, swaying in the breeze, as if telling the impermanence of life.

Bai An's eyes became blurred and his thoughts drifted away.

Bai An's thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the door opening. Bai An thought it was Xiao Mao and said, "You're back~".

However, Bai An looked up and found that the person standing in front of him was a stranger.

His clothes were wrinkled, his hair was disheveled, and his face was full of fatigue and anxiety.

The dark circles under his eyes showed that he must not have had a rest for a long time.

Before Bai An could speak, the man knelt on the ground and kowtowed continuously.

His forehead hit the ground with a dull sound.

He kowtowed and kept muttering, "Please, please save my Pokémon!"

His voice was full of despair and pleading, as if he was groping for the last ray of light in the darkness. Bai An was shocked by his action.

The Pokémon who were not sleeping deeply were woken up, their sweet dreams were ruthlessly interrupted, and they all felt very angry.

They opened their eyes and stared at the culprit who woke them up, with anger flashing in their eyes.

The Pokémon's expressions varied, but they were all full of hostility.

Some Pokémon have their mouths tightly closed and their teeth chattering, as if they are about to bite the creature that woke them up; some Pokémon have their wings slightly spread, ready to attack at any time.

There was an uncontrollable anger in their eyes, as if they wanted to tear the culprit into pieces.

As the Pokémon watched, the guy who woke them up looked very panicked. He tried to explain his behavior, but the Pokémon didn't want to listen to him at all.

They just wanted to make this guy pay the price and let him know how stupid it was to wake up the Pokémon's sleep.

"Okay~

What do you want from me?"

"My Pokémon is seriously injured. The treatment costs are very expensive. Can you please..."

The man's voice was choked with sobs, and he seemed to be having trouble speaking.

"Aren't you a contestant of the Silver Conference? I remember that contestants of the Silver Conference have the right to restore the physical strength of Pokémon for free.

For treatment, you only need to pay 20% of the cost, right?"

Bai An once took a look at the rights and obligations of the contestants and could still vaguely remember some of them.

“I can’t afford that 20 percent either.

I have thought of all possible solutions, and I am only bothering you because I have no other options."

The man smiled bitterly.

"Would you mind taking me to see it?"

"Convenient, convenient! It's you..."

The man glared at Bai An who was sitting on the hospital bed, and the result was self-evident.

"I'm fine, and..."

Looking at Xiao Mao who pushed the door open, Bai An said, "You're back just in time. Come for a walk with me."

"Row."

Xiao Mao agreed, and said nothing about the person next to him, but he had a vague impression that his Pokémon was receiving treatment here?

Through the glass wall of the ICU, Bai An saw the Pokémon inside.

"Is it Pidgeot?

The other one is Blue King?"

Bai An was a little unsure because the body was covered too tightly with bandages. It was already very difficult to make out a shadow from the rough outline and the little skin exposed.

"Who are you fighting against? King Blue is better, but that Pidgeot..."

Xiao Mao frowned. From his point of view, the Pidgeot seemed to be having difficulty breathing.

"It was Sato who started it all. It was also my fault that I sent out the not-so-strong Pidgeot in the first game out of a tentative mentality.

The Steelix on the opposite side only used one move, Rockfall, to beat Pidgeot into this state.

It's all my fault for not doing a good job of intelligence work. If I had known that the enemy was from a noble family, I would never have sent out the Pidgeot."

The man said with regret, but it was too late to say anything now.

"Sato?"

Bai An looked at Xiao Mao calmly and said, "Is that the one you mentioned?"

"That's the one. He has a big steel snake."

"You are a descendant of an aristocratic family after all. You don't even have any explanation for beating your opponent like this?"

The man said in a low voice: "We are too weak, we can't blame others."

Xiao Mao whispered to Bai An:

“I’ve seen the fight between Sato and Ye Yue, they both had a Steelix, and it was a Steelix vs. Steelix fight.

Sato did hold back.

And there is...

Don't you think there's something wrong with this guy's strength?

He doesn’t look like the guy who’s going to get eight badges.”

Even when the opponent was holding back, the Pokémon could still be sent to the ICU. Xiao Mao really doubted where he got the eight badges to participate in the conference.

"Tell me why you came to the Alliance Conference, and where you got your badge.

to be honest!"

The man froze, looked at the two Pokémon lying in the ICU, gritted his teeth and said, "For money."

“Perhaps you have also used it, which is a website where you can see the player’s information, including but not limited to the Pokémon and moves used.

These materials were purchased from us.

As for badges, you can go to the help website, which provides various ways to obtain badges, such as renting other people's Pokémon or purchasing badges with real money.

Because of the mechanism of the Silver Conference, everyone can fight with 2 to 3 people and collect information on 2 to 9 Pokémon.

By submitting this information, not only can you get back the money you invested in obtaining the badges in the early stages, but if you are lucky enough to collect information about a top contender, you can also make a fortune.”

"I was very lucky this year. I met the seeded player who won the championship in the first game. Unfortunately...

Not only did we lose all the money we earned from selling intelligence, but we also had a huge hole that we couldn’t fill.”

The man smiled self-deprecatingly.

"I'll have the people at the supermarket advance the money for you, and you can pay it back slowly by working part-time."

…………

At this time, the doctor who said Bai An delayed his get off work, stood under the tree growing by the window of Bai An's bed and exhaled a puff of smoke:

“The world is really strange, some people can’t even afford to buy medicine for their Pokémon.

Some people's Pokémon dislike the bitterness and unpalatability of medicine, so they feed you all of it, which almost kills you.

I don’t know whether to say that you are lucky to be here, having to drink medicine every day that ordinary people can’t afford.

Or should I say that you are unlucky, growing near a window, so any pesticides dumped by others can reach your roots and be absorbed by you."

"Young Master, he refused."

"Rejected? Why?" Bai An raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"The person we sent to negotiate said that if we gave him enough salary every month to cover his food and drink, and used the rest of the salary to pay off the debt, the debt would be paid off in about eight years."

Bai An nodded: "No problem."

The person in charge of the hypermarket smiled and explained, “It’s really no problem for a lone person.

But that man has a wife, children and elderly parents, and the whole family depends on him for food.

And according to our investigation, he actually has a considerable amount of savings.”

Bai An's face turned cold. He was already in a bad mood and now he was even worse. He was cheated before he was even discharged from the hospital.

"Whatever you want, arrange a car for me. I want to go to Pallet Town."

"Okay, Young Master."

After watching Bai An go upstairs, the manager of the supermarket spoke to the people around him:

“Beth, you should follow the young master for the time being.

remember!

Be sure not to let the young master have access to the video phone to contact home.

We have to keep it secret for as long as we can. If the crisis in the United States is resolved by the time the young master receives the letter,

The supermarket will cover the cost of your son and daughter's training school, and will also prepare a good Pokémon for them as their starter Pokémon."

"Yes!" The middle-aged man could hardly hide the excitement on his face.

In addition to Beth, there was another person following the person in charge. Judging from his attire, he looked like a secretary or assistant. He lowered his head and asked, "So, what do we do with that person?"

“What should we do with it? Hasn’t he saved all the money he earned from selling materials over the past seven years? He has his own money.

We offered him a plan, but he rejected it.”

"But……"

"But what, you've been with me for so long, and you still don't understand the principle of giving and getting?

It was he who, for the sake of his precious daughter's future, did not use the saved money to treat his Pokémon.

He also felt that the saved money might not be enough to cover his daughter's expenses at the trainer school, so he rejected our plan that required him to take out a large amount of his salary every month to repay the debt.

He doesn't want to provide labor services for us, and he wants us to pay to treat his Pokémon. There is no such good thing in the world.

Moreover, how many people like him do we reject every year when we recruit?

If it weren't for the young boss, it would be a fantasy for that kind of person to get a job in our company.

That person simply saw that the young master was young, kind-hearted, and easy to deceive, so I was already being merciful by not punishing him.

Still want me to help him?

dream! "

Soon the person in charge realized that he was a little emotional. He calmed down and said, "This is his own choice. He chose his daughter's future over his Pokémon's life."

On the other side, Bai An walked out of the supermarket with no taste in his mouth. He took Xiao Mao with him and wanted to have a big meal:

"Let's go and have a barbecue first, and then we'll go back to Pallet Town."

"Barbecue!?

Don't you have any idea about your own body?

Do you want to look in the mirror and see your complexion? It's as white as paper.

Eat light food for two days and then see."

Xiao Mao was completely shocked and dragged Bai An to the cafeteria of the hypermarket without saying a word.

"This is your young master. He just got out of the hospital, so prepare some light food for him."
