I, the Pokémon Master, now resign

Once again Marie was annoyed by her simplistic way of thinking.

During this period, Tian Tong, who went to seek help from Cohen and Bert, finally brought them back. Although it is free time now, after hearing that Bai Chen needed to find someone, they couldn't care less about reminiscing about the old days. Yes, Cohen asked first:

"Mr. Bai Chen, are you looking for... the survivors of the explosion at the research institute in the eastern forest?"

It’s not surprising that Cohen was surprised. After all, although the explosion incident caused a short-term sensation after everything came to light, the sensation came and went quickly. It didn't last two weeks before it was forgotten by people.

It would be fine if it was just forgotten, but now... in the mouths of a few people, the Ruins of Dreams has lost its nature as a place where tragedy took place. In the eyes of a very small number of adventure enthusiasts, the Ruins of Dreams is a natural In the holy land used for exploration, no one would care about the sacrificed or surviving doctors who were engaged in clean energy creation and production. Therefore, when Bai Chen said that he wanted to know the news related to Zhenmao, Cohen felt that strangeness.

"To be precise, it's not what I want to find, I'm just entrusted to find Dr. Zhenmu."

"Is that so..."

Although as the owner of the gymnasium in Sanyo City, or as the protector of Sanyo City, Cohen and others should not disclose specific information related to the personnel involved in that incident, Bai Chen can still be regarded as The above is a former insider, even if he said it, the alliance probably wouldn't care, right?

"Well... If that's the case... I know." After thinking for a while, Cohen no longer hesitated, took a deep breath and said lightly: "Actually, Dr. Zhenmu, I was still in Sanyo City two days ago I saw her figure."

Bai Chen & Ma Li: "?!"

The two sides looked at each other, and the surprise and surprise contained in the eyes were self-evident.

I thought that I could only know the general whereabouts of Dr. Zhenmu at most here, but what I didn't expect was that Dr. Zhenmu was nearby.

"What happened after that? Cohen, do you know where Dr. Zhenmu went?!"

Bai Chen followed up and asked.

"No." Cohen shook his head and looked at Bert. "I don't know much about this, but Bert seems to have seen it."

Although the return of Zhenmu surprised them, who were the gymnasium owners at the time, it is not something that can be used as a casual conversation, so Burt and Cohen did not tell each other about it. If Bai Chen hadn't come here today to say that he wanted to find the real mushroom, I'm afraid they would have no idea that it was the year of the monkey when they chose to share the news.

"Have you seen Bert?"

"Yes, just yesterday~ when I was shopping for vegetables on the street in the northeast of Sanyao City, I saw a person who looked very similar to Dr. Zhenmu enter a villa. But I didn't pay special attention at that time. I have observed carefully, so I am not sure, but combined with Cohen’s statement that he did see the news of Dr. Zhenmu’s return, I think the person I saw is basically Dr. Zhenmu.”

"Which street and which house?"

"Hmm... how should I put it... I don't really know~" Burt touched the back of his head apologetically, and then gave his own suggestion. "Although I don't know how to describe that house, but Mr. Bai Chen, if you want, I can show you there right now. Anyway, I'm free now! How is it? How about it?"

I always felt that Burt seemed a little anxious, and Bai Chen didn't know why he was in such a hurry, so he nodded, agreeing to his proposal.

"So!"

As Burt said this, he quickly led Bai Chen to the door of Sanyao Restaurant, turned around with a smile on his face, and said to Tiantong and Cohen behind him:

"See you later! I'm taking Mr. Bai Chen to see the residence of Dr. Zhenmu~ Afterwards, we may go shopping in the street first, and I'll leave the rest to you!"

"Bang~!"

After finishing speaking, Burt closed the door forcefully, and Tian Tong and Cohen in the restaurant looked suspicious.

"He's here, what's the hurry?" Tiantong asked a little strangely.

"Hmm... I don't know... It looks like he's on the run... Huh!?" At this point, as if he remembered something, Cohen's calm expression was speechless for a second. covered by emotions. "By the way, today...it seems to be the day Bert came to wash the dishes..."

Tiantong: "??? Is he still a child...?"

261 Residence, Malicious Shadow

Because he escaped the fate of washing dishes for a day, Bert, who led Bai Chen towards Zhen Zhu's residence, seemed very happy and enthusiastic. Opening a store or why it disappeared from a year ago.

Faced with Bert's annoying enthusiasm, Bai Chen was basically exhausted all the way, one question after another often left him no time to even think about how to answer.

Following behind the two, looking at Bert and Bai Chen's backs, Ma Li just listened to their conversation quietly along the way, without making a sound.

After all, many of the questions Bert is asking are questions she wants to know, but because of her status as a student and her personality, Mary has no chance to ask them on weekdays, even if she seizes the opportunity every time, They will also be perfunctory by Bai Chen in a haha ​​way.

Only that time, Bai Chen mentioned the story of his encounter with the Monarch Snake, but even that time, Bai Chen didn't finish the story, but left a lot of suspense, which made Ma Li firmly believe that—he I still keep a lot of things a secret from myself.

Bai Chen's strength, Bai Chen's identity, Bai Chen's past...

Knowing all of this is also listed by Mary as the second greatest hope besides revitalizing the gymnasium and hometown.

......

"Hey~ So, Mr. Bai Chen, are you still accepting students now!? Really!? If so, what do you think of me? Is it suitable!? I'm also good at cooking!?"

Mary: "???"

what's the situation?It's just that I was distracted for a while, why did the topic start to enter the matter of recruiting students?

I don't know if it's because of the confrontational psychology. At this time, Mary's eyes looking at Bert have begun to produce obvious hostility.

"What are you thinking about?" Bai Chen patted the other person on the head. What's amazing is that although the two are not much different in age, their way of getting along still looks like a conversation between an elder and a younger generation.

"How about you... If I promise you, are you going to leave your own restaurant and gym and follow me to the Sinnoh area?"

"Don't worry! If it's Tiantong and Koen, they will definitely agree~ Maybe they will come to bless me on the day of parting~"

"The problem is not here!"

Bai Chen angrily patted his head again.

Obviously they are all three brothers, but I don't know if it's a personality problem. Bert's behavior pattern always makes people feel that he is lacking in roots, and he doesn't even hear the meaning of polite refusal in his own words.

"Ah~~~ What a pity!"

After being beaten again, Burt finally understood the meaning of Bai Chen's words, and then let out a long wail.

"Hey, I thought I had seized a little chance... I really thought too much..."

The mood suddenly fell from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the valley, Burt's arms were hanging down, looking powerless.

After being rejected by Bai Chen, his eyes finally started to glance at Ma Li who had been following them all the time. There was a faint happy feeling on the expression of seeing Ma Li, and the loss in Burt's heart became more obvious. .

"I really envy you... If the teacher is Mr. Bai Chen, he will definitely be able to avoid a lot of detours and realize his dreams faster. You should cherish this hard-won opportunity..."

"I will."

Mary nodded slightly, she didn't need Burt to remind her of this, she thought so too.

......

Following Bert's footsteps, the three of them soon came to an independent villa. The villa looked very ordinary, with blue as the basic color, and it looked natural and tidy.

"It's here."

Burt turned his body sideways and said this to Bai Chen.

"Is this here...It's a little different from what I imagined..."

Looking at the seemingly ordinary building in front of her, Ma Li couldn't help muttering.

I thought that since I am a researcher, the place where I live should be very special, but it seems that I am thinking too much.

"After all, not all researchers have enough funding, not to mention that Dr. Zhenmu's new energy source was interrupted due to accidents before it was researched, so there is no source of funding."

Researchers and Ph.D.s, although they sound very good, but if they can't produce enough research results, most of them can only become other people's assistants in the end. The ability is still very difficult.

"It's really a real problem~ I still remember when I was very young, my father almost lost his original gymnasium residence because he couldn't get the approval of the alliance~" Burt also put his hands on his hips, and nodded in agreement with Bai Chen. .

"Then Mr. Bai Chen, are you going in now?"

"Forget it today."

Bai Chen looked at the two windows of the house, shook his head and said.

"It should be in the living room, but the light is not turned on. It seems that Dr. Zhenmu is not at home now, and the time is not very suitable to visit her. Let's wait another day."

Looking at the dimly lit house that seemed incompatible with the brightly lit surroundings, Bai Chen finally gave up the option of visiting Dr. Zhenmo today.

After all, according to what Cohen and Burt said, Dr. Zhenmu should have been back for more than a day, and he has also found a new residence in Sanyo City. He should not leave in a short time. Problem solved within a day.

"That's it, what a pity. If it's tomorrow, I won't have time to come." Burt turned his head with a little regret, looked at the residence of Dr. Zhenmu and said.

Originally, Bert wanted to take the opportunity to find out what Bai Chen wanted to do with Dr. Zhenmu, but now it seemed that his little curiosity could not be satisfied.

After making a decision, the three of them walked in the direction of the return journey.However, none of the three people who were chatting noticed that when they were about to leave here, a black shadow came out of the alley, looked at the direction they were leaving, and kept complaining and cursing verbally.

"Damn it, I didn't expect such an accident to happen. Did the Alliance notice it? No, I obviously didn't disclose any news..."

Heiying rubbed the corners of his eyes wearily, looking a little disappointed, but then his expression changed into an arrogant one.

"Tsk, forget it, anyway, my machine will be ready there tomorrow, Pokémon Master? Hehe, I haven't seen an official game, but the reputation is well-known in the league. It's just a fake with a false name."

......

262 Visiting Dr. Zhenmo

The next day.

early morning.

Although it is winter, the morning sun in Sanyo City still brings a unique sense of warmth to the city.

Even though Sanyo City is a large city, the greening work here is still very good, and the shadows of green vegetation can be seen everywhere.There are also many small Pokémon hidden in the trees and bushes, lying on their stomachs and hiding their bodies. After the people here start working, they will go to their respective destinations to find food for a new day.

"Please give me one of these, yes! It's this instant noodle gift box."

Early in the morning, when the commercial market in the west of Sanyao City had just opened, Bai Chen had brought Mary here to look for souvenirs.

Although Bai Chen was the one who was entrusted, no matter what he said, he was going to visit other people's homes, and the most basic etiquette had to be done in place. Bai Chen had already fully understood this through his many years of travel experience.

"However, why is it an instant noodle gift box?"

Ma Li frowned, holding a gift box of the same style that Bai Chen bought just now, she was a little confused.

Usually, when visiting people, one would choose some exquisite snack gift boxes, or tree fruit gift boxes. This was the first time she had seen such things as instant noodle gift boxes.

And then again, why would this kind of thing be sold here?

"After all, I'm a researcher. I usually encounter situations where I don't have time to cook or go out to eat." After paying the payment, Bai Chen heard Ma Li's doubts, and then explained to her. "Besides, this brand of instant noodles tastes good and has guaranteed nutrition. It is very famous among Pokémon doctors. There are even many doctors who like this one, but they are not very interested in ordinary meals."

"What a strange doctor..." Marie complained.

"Right~ I was also surprised when I first saw him eating and resting like this~ But after all, this is a habit developed by scholars themselves that can be called universal. Generally, at this time, obedience Enough."

"Hmm... a universal habit..."

Even though Bai Chen had already said that, Ma Li's expression still looked a little unacceptable, but seeing Bai Chen humming a little song and walking towards the northeast street, Ma Li could only sigh at the end. With a sigh, he trotted and followed.

Why do I always feel that with Teacher Bai Chen, I learned a lot of useful things, but useless, or I learned so many strange things...

Ma Li, who was walking side by side with Bai Chen, would turn her head to look at Bai Chen's profile from time to time, with such doubts in her heart.

But no matter whether the knowledge was strange or normal, Ma Li still silently remembered it in her heart.

......

Before they knew it, Bai Chen and Ma Li had arrived at the door of Dr. Zhenmu's house.

After arranging his clothes briefly, Bai Chen rang the doorbell.

"Jingle bell~~"

The crisp sound of the doorbell echoed on the quiet street. Although it was almost normal working hours, today was the weekend after all, and the scene in the residential area was quieter and slower than in the commercial area.

"..."

For a long time after the first doorbell rang, there was no movement in the house.

"Huh? That's weird... aren't you at home at this time?"

"Do you want to press it again?"

"Well......"

Bai Chen thought for a while, and finally pressed the doorbell again.

"Jingle bell~~"

There was another long echo, but there was still no response from the inside of the door just like the first time.

"Jingle bell~~"

"Jingle bell~~"

"Jingle bell~~"

Bai Chen kept pressing it persistently, and at this moment he was inevitably a little embarrassed and flustered. If it was really because of his self-confidence yesterday that he missed the time when Zhenmu came back, it would be really bad.

"Dr. Zhenmu? Are you at home?! Dr. Zhenmu——!"

In the end, just ringing the doorbell was not enough for Bai Chen. During this period, he kept calling Zhenzhu's name loudly, trying to let Zhenzhu who didn't know if he was in the house hear his voice.

Finally, after tossing and tossing for about two or three minutes, he finally lived up to Bai Chen's expectations. There was a rush of footsteps coming from the room, followed by complaints one after another.

"Ah~ Who is it early in the morning? Is the rare weekend time enough for people to have a good rest!? Really!"
