Pokémon the Movie: The Journey of a Slate

Just as the man was about to hit Pichu, an angry shout suddenly rang out.

“That’s enough!” After taking back the Geodude, Hyouta walked over with a gloomy face. His eyes were filled with anger and disappointment. He continued, “Look carefully with your own eyes. Your Pokémon fought for you with all its might. It stood here trusting your judgment, but in the end, all it got was your insults. Is it true that you only care about winning or losing?”

Piao Tai clenched his fists. He looked at the boy in front of him. He seemed respectful on the surface, but there was a carelessness in his eyes that he didn't even try to conceal.

Finally, Hyota loosened his clenched fists, waved his hands weakly, and let the boy leave.

He even lost the idea of ​​teaching this trainer a lesson, because this kind of person is beyond help.

Hyota was really disappointed. He was disappointed that after the referee raised the flag, the trainer didn't pay attention to the condition of his own Pokémon but just cursed at the Pokémon. He was disappointed that the trainer was half-hearted during the battle, and the command was tantamount to sending the Pokémon to die.

During the entire battle just now, Piao Tai did not give any instructions. He just stared at the eyes of the boy not far away, trying to see the purity and innocence of a ten-year-old boy. Unfortunately, he failed.

The responsibility of a gym leader is not only to select trainers who are satisfied with the training and award them medals so that they can enter the regional competition. The more important responsibility of each gym leader is to educate and guide young trainers who have not yet formed their sense of right and wrong and values ​​to learn how to be familiar with and take care of their own Pokémon and understand right and wrong. This is one of the reasons why a gym leader becomes a pillar of a region.

Piao Tai stared at the young man's departing back in a daze, recalling the scene when he became the gym owner.

About seven or eight years ago, due to the departure of Piaotai's father Donggang and this almost casual entrustment, the still young Piaotai forcibly supported the Black Gold City with his still immature body and re-propped up the facade of the Black Gold Gym. In these matters, he did not even get any help from Donggang.

Under the questioning of the Alliance's prosecutor, the oldest ground king, Kikuno, Hyota revealed the reason why he became the gym leader. It was not to quarrel with his father, nor for some ridiculous proof, but for...

"In order to help new trainers avoid taking the same detours as I did, and to help them realize their dreams."

Those pure words still echo in Hyota's ears, and there was not a trace of falsehood in them.

When he heard that his Black Gold Gym was called one of the best gyms for newcomers to start out, everyone could see the smile on Hyota's face. He believed that he could help more new trainers to grow.

But...he couldn't feel happy now.

In the past few years, he has met many trainers and all kinds of people.

Farces were staged before his eyes, such as quarrels with his own Pokémon after the battle, Pokémons crying in front of the gym gate after being abandoned, and trainers who were being clever at the cost of the health of their Pokémons...

These trainers are generally arrogant, but unfortunately they have high expectations but poor skills. They keep saying, "I will be the next Red or Green," but whenever they are defeated, they either doubt the Pokémon or the Gym Leader, they doubt the whole world, but they refuse to doubt themselves.

From not knowing what to do at first to being able to deal with it calmly now, Piao Tai has grown a lot. No matter what, even if someone who doesn't value his partner is recognized by the champion, he will never be recognized by him. He even wants to use the name of rock as an analogy.

Fortunately, there are not too many people like this, just like Shinji and Satoshi who walked out of here some time ago. Both of them are extremely pure, which can be regarded as saving Hyota's rising blood pressure.

"This can be considered a different kind of prosperity." Piao Tai smiled bitterly and quickly threw away the idea about Donggang in his mind. He still didn't know how to face his father, even though the two met in the alliance and had a conversation during the reversal some time ago.

"Hello, Mr. Piaotai, um...are you okay?" Aislo walked over at this time, looking at Piaotai's twitching eyebrows with some worry.

"Are you a new challenger? I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I'm fine. I made you laugh just now." Hyota regained his usual smile after hearing the pleasant voice. He finally turned around and looked at the two of them. "Huh?"

……

The scene changed, and Aislo and Mary were already sitting in a restaurant. They looked at the food in front of them in confusion. They were in a trance and didn't even understand how they were brought here by Mrs. Piao.

"Enjoy your meals, both of you. Although Black Gold City isn't famous for its food and beverage industry, it's still acceptable." Piao Tai smiled and raised the juice in his hand to signal the two of them. He was still wearing the not-so-dirty miner's uniform, which made him look open-minded and cheerful.

"Oh, we're just a little scared. Don't take it to heart." Mary came back to her senses and replied. The two were indeed scared by Mrs. Hyo's enthusiasm.

"That's good, that's good. You can have fun in Black Gold City these few days. If you have time, you can go to the mines. I often stay there too. It's quite interesting there." Hyota smiled. After all, in addition to being the leader of a rock-type gym, he was also the person in charge of coal and fossil mining in Black Gold City. At the same time, there were often trainers training in the mines, which was one of the major features of Black Gold City.

"Oh, by the way, the trainer who challenged you just now was..." Eslo asked tentatively. After all, Moon Eevee felt a little strange after seeing the young man.

"Oh, that kid seems to be called Tomohisa, a new trainer from Crown City." Hyota thought for a while and replied: "The file says that he seemed to be obsessed with Pokémon, football or basketball... These kids' interests change quickly." Except for people like Satoshi.

Whenever he thinks of these troublesome newcomers, Piao Tai can't help but think of those shining new stars. They are of similar age, so why is there such a big difference between them?

"Crown City..." Eslo seemed to understand something, and gently stroked the Poké Ball containing Moon Eevee. The red and white ball also shook, responding to the boy's concern.

In the Poké Ball, Umbreon has regained its former liveliness. Today, she suddenly saw her former "master" again, which gave her a shock, but it was only a shock. Now she has a warm haven and a place to rely on. She no longer has to worry about the beatings and scoldings she used to get, nor does she have to worry about her good friends being suddenly expelled. "Friends", what a wonderful word, Umbreon once again curved its iconic crescent eyes.

"Is this what you think..." Eslo, who was in sync with Moon Eevee, nodded and continued the dinner. As for whether he took this matter to heart, it was hard to say.

After having a good meal and a drink, the two said goodbye to Piao Tai and left, starting to wander around the Black Gold City.

Ps: Um, let me ask a question. Does anyone know who is the sixth Pokémon of Marie? So far, I have only found the Longhaired Troll, Morubek, Cool Leopard, Poisonous Skull Frog and Turbaned Bum. Is the remaining one a Big Mouth Baby or a Bearcat?
