I, the Pokémon Master, now resign

282 Arrival, Shippo Museum

Although Qibao City is also one of the big cities in the Hezhong area, the feeling of Qibao City is always tepid.

Compared with Sanyao City in the front and Feiyun City in the back, Qibao City always gives people a sense of inferiority. The pace of life here is neither fast nor slow, and there is nothing in the city. Special places are a must when traveling.

If we only talk about the most impressive tourist places in Qibao City, maybe it is the top furniture store in Hezhong area. Due to the exquisite quality and reasonable price, the wooden furniture in Qibao City seems to be very popular among people. .

Even if you don't talk about how it is in other cities, at least in Qibao City, most of the furniture you can see are traditional wooden furniture.

"A smell of wood...",

The moment she stepped into Qibao City, Mary raised her nose, sniffing the fragrance of wood mixed in the air.

In the south of Qibao City, there is the largest wood supply yard in the Hezhong area. Its size has already made the fragrance of wood permeate every corner of the whole city.

"real?!"

It was the first time for Ma Li to come to Qibao City, and it was natural to be surprised by the special features here, but for some reason, following Ma Li, Bai Chen also expressed the same emotion, and after hearing Bai Chen's surprised voice After that, Mary couldn't help casting a flat gaze.

"..."

Although there is no other color in Ma Li's vision, Bai Chen can completely understand what Ma Li is thinking at this moment.

Damn, I lost my temper...

Bai Chen looked away regretfully.

When I was on No. 3 road before, I was still thinking about embracing my pride as a local, but what I didn't expect was that the pride I worked so hard to keep was destroyed so quickly here in Qibao City.

"Then...that...cough, anyway, let's go to the Pokémon Center in Qibao City and find a room to live in... These two days we will take a good tour of Qibao City, and then Qibao City will lead to The road in Feiyun City is not so easy~ha...haha..."

Bai Chen assured that he had tried his best to change the topic, and wanted Ma Li to look away, but the latter seemed to realize that Bai Chen cared about his own opinion, so Ma Li continued to behave like this in a rare way. Bai Chen felt ashamed all the way.

......

After coming out of the Pokémon Center, the backpacks on their bodies have been placed in their respective rooms.

As for Qibao City, although Bai Chen secretly browsed through Ma Li's travel guidebook on the way here and referred to it, but speaking of it, he really didn't seem to get any useful information from it.

In this "Recommended Encyclopedia of Tourist Attractions in the Hezhong Area", Sanyao City occupies more than a dozen pages, while Qibao City only has a pitiful two pages.

In a short two-page paper, two places are introduced respectively.

One is Qibao Museum.

And the other is the Qibao Library and Qibao Taoist Hall that he also mentioned before.

"Well, anyway, let's go to the museum first. I didn't go inside to observe it carefully before. It is said that there are many strange things in the Qibao Museum."

"Don't hide it anymore... Is it a compliment to say something weird?"

Mary couldn't help complaining like this. In fact, she wanted to visit the furniture city in the south more than the Qibao Museum. She was also curious about the quality of the wooden furniture here. If it was good, she even wanted to mail it A few pieces were sent back to my brother as a souvenir for him.

Well, it would be even better if it supports cash on delivery.

......

Originally, their destination was to go straight to the Qibao Museum, but when they were walking on the road, Bai Chen and Ma Li were attracted by some snacks on the street, and it happened to be noon, so they still went to the museum. On the way, we simply had lunch before starting again.

Arriving at the gate of the Qibao Museum, to be honest, their first impression here is more profound than they imagined.

In front of the majestic and magnificent gate, there is a long step. In the process of climbing the steps, the whole picture of the building hidden above was printed in the eyes of the two of them bit by bit.

"It has a long history and contains strange objects from all over the world. Does it echo with the city's library and complement each other?"

After climbing up the steps, Bai Chen recalled this comment in the travel guide, because compared with the travel classics of other cities, this comment can be regarded as very simple and straightforward, so at first Bai Chen didn't think about it. Shangxin, but after he actually walked to the gate, some expectations for the unknown began to ignite in his heart.

Ma Li on the other side was also a little lost in thought when she was looking at the museum. It seemed that what she was thinking now was not much different from Bai Chen's.

"Then, let's go in."

"Ah."

After such a simple question and answer, the two stepped into the free museum in front of them.

......

"Um...how to say..."

"It's so dark."

The moment they opened the door and walked in, Bai Chen and Ma Li couldn't help but fell silent, and they couldn't help complaining to each other until they realized it.

It is a huge museum, and the location is chosen in the central area of ​​the city. The skylight should have good lighting, but now it is covered by a strange black cloth, preventing the sunlight from coming in.

There are many lights inside the museum, but strangely, in the field of vision of Bai Chen and Ma Li, there is only a small dim light shining its light every few meters.

The sporadic light did not bring any brisk atmosphere here, but instead made the museum, which should be normal, full of weirdness.

And to say...

"No, it's true that it's free to visit, but what about the security? Where's the waiter?"

Originally, Bai Chen wanted to find someone to ask what was going on here, but after looking around, he found that there was not even a single person here.

This is a bit absurd. Although it is a free place to visit, it doesn't even have the most basic security system. Does the government of Qibao City trust the people in the Hezhong area, or the visitors here?

The museums here are dedicated to collecting ancient and strange objects. Although the market value may not be as high as cultural relics, they are rare because they are rare, but losing one would be a great loss to the museum.

"Really...why do you always encounter accidents when you come to a museum... Forget it, I'll go to the gymnasium here to find the owner and ask about the situation. Mary, you wait at the gate of the museum first.. …”

"Hoho~ The guy who broke into the museum actually wants to find me? Then let me hear what the prisoner has to say."

Bai Chen & Ma Li: "???"

283 Master of Qibao Gym - Aloe Vera

"Hoho~ The guy who broke into the museum actually wants to find me? Then let me hear what the prisoner has to say."

In the dark museum, suddenly such a sentence came from behind the two of them. Although Bai Chen's expression was fairly calm, Ma Li was taken aback, and immediately turned around and explained:

"Well, we're not prisoners, we're just tourists who came here to visit..."

"Hmph~ Passenger? Do you think I will believe your nonsense? There are still signs of temporary closure on the door. Isn't it a prisoner who comes in under such circumstances?"

"Sign... signage..."

Mary frowned, and walked all the way to the door, thinking about looking through the door.

Sure enough, as the other party said, there was a small sign hanging outside the door, which read——

[Sorry, because the museum has a power outage, it is temporarily closed for one day, please forgive me for any inconvenience caused. 】

"That's it, is there anything else to deny~"

Seeing Ma Li's speechless look, the other party said with a smile.

"Well......"

With the facts in front of her, Ma Li really didn't know what to say for a while, so she had to turn her eyes to Bai Chen for help.

After feeling Ma Li's gaze, Bai Chen just sighed helplessly, walked up to her, looked at the person who questioned them, and said slowly:

"Please don't tease Mary, we are not so-called prisoners, Master of the Aloe Vera Pavilion."

"Master?"

After being reminded by Bai Chen, Ma Li suddenly remembered that the other party seemed to have revealed her identity in the first sentence when they met, but she didn't express it clearly, she just said something like "What can you do with me?" Because she was regarded as a thief for a while, Mary didn't notice such details in her panic.

"Oh?"

After Bai Chen finished speaking, the other party was obviously a little surprised.

"So you still know my name? No... You should know all the names. The important thing is that you can match my name with my face? This is not the first time you come to Qibao City, right? You know, I didn't TV or newspaper hobbies."

While saying this, the other party walked to the door, exposing his appearance to the sun.

Just now, because the light in the museum was not good and it was pitch black, Ma Li was unable to see the specific appearance of the other party, until now she finally saw clearly.

With dark green perm hair and a red and white turban wrapped around his head, he has dark skin and a tall stature, giving the first impression that he doesn't look like a good stubble.

"I have been here before, and I have also challenged the Seven Treasures Gym, but the time I stayed here was not too long."

After saying this, Bai Chen also walked into the sunlight, and continued to look at each other.

"I just don't know if you still remember me."

"Ok?"

The moment she saw Bai Chen, Aloe Vera's expression suddenly froze for a moment, then she quickly took a step back as if she had received some huge shock, stretched out her hand and pointed at Bai Chen, tremblingly said:

"You, you, you... aren't you Bai Chen?!"

It wasn't certain before, but now, with the help of Sunshine, Aloe recognized Bai Chen's identity.

"You guy's current temperament is really different from that at the beginning. No, there is no need to shift the time to such a front... The feeling you give people now is the same as that given by you in that challenge match more than a year ago. It doesn't feel like a person at all..."

After regaining her composure, Aloe's tone began to calm down. She looked around Bai Chen and said in amazement.

"People are subject to change... Besides, I can now prove that I am not a criminal, right?"

"......really."

Since it is Bai Chen, he is really not a prisoner. Even if he really likes something in the museum, he will not come here to steal it. If he wants to, he only needs to make a new debut as a condition. Will give him what he wants directly.

Moreover, even if he really just wanted to steal, he didn't need to come out by himself, as long as he let his crystal lantern fire spirit help, he could do anything...

"Ah! No! Now is not the time to talk about this!"

"!?"

Aloe, who had just calmed down, suddenly fell into an unknown rage, which startled Ma Li again, and stood behind Bai Chen, looking at the strange man in front of her so carefully.

"So, is there anything else... If it's okay, I will take her to visit other places... Ah, no... The library seems to be in your gym... So I I want to visit the Seven Treasures Gymnasium, please show me the way~”

Bai Chen proposed to Aloe so lazily, but the other party obviously didn't intend to buy it, and saw that Aloe took a step forward, staring at Bai Chen viciously, the corners of his mouth seemed to tremble, and said:

"Hehe...do you want to visit the gymnasium...of course there is no problem...just you have to meet one of my requirements."

"Huh? So troublesome..."

After Aloe said this, Bai Chen seemed to have guessed what the other party wanted to do, and put on a displeased look, but this appearance had no effect on Aloe's dismissal at all, on the contrary, it strengthened her determination.

How do you feel... Teacher Bai Chen offended the owner of the aloe shop...

Looking at the inexplicable atmosphere between the two, Mary guessed in her heart.

"Stop rambling! No trouble! Although it is not important to you, it is the biggest shadow in my life!"

As Aloe said so, she put on a heartbroken look, and looked at Bai Chen with unkind eyes.

"In short, it's no problem to come to visit! But you must have a revenge match with me! Otherwise, I won't let you step into the gate of Qibao gymnasium!"

"..." Facing the other party's "threat", Bai Chen just glanced lightly, quite speechless, and then responded word by word: "Then Mali will challenge Qibao Gymnasium as a challenger." Well, according to the rules of the alliance, the Pokémon Gym rejects the challenger without reason, so you don’t have any excuses?”

"!? Well, it looks like this!?"

After Bai Chen said it, Aloe realized that she really didn't seem to be able to compete with the rules. After continuing to stare at Bai Chen for a few seconds, she finally let out a long sigh, drooped her body weakly and said:

"you win......"

284 The reason why Aloe holds vengeance is...

"So, why did you come back this time? I heard that when you resigned, didn't you say you wanted to live in other regions?"

The previous farce is over, facing Bai Chen who hasn't seen each other for many years, even if it is not enthusiastic, Aloe still maintains the way of hospitality, leading Bai Chen and Ma Li along the way, and explaining to them The history of some buildings in Qibao City.

Of course, during the period, she would also ask Bai Chen some questions that she was curious about from time to time.

"How should I put it..." After all, he couldn't tell the truth completely, so when he was asked this way, Bai Chen hesitated for a moment, and after thinking of a similar answer, he replied: "Because I am suddenly homesick. Feelings broke out~"

"Tsk, don't you want to say it? Forget it, anyway, this is your private matter, and I don't feel comfortable asking if you don't want to say it."

Of course Bai Chen's lie was seen through by Aloe, but she didn't use it as a reason to ask Bai Chen more things. Who doesn't have any secrets?What's more, it is this genius who is rare in thousands of years.

"So, this is the legendary student you accepted, right? It's called Mary, right?"

"Yes."

Mary replied indifferently, hearing this, Aloe couldn't help raising her eyebrows and said: "The guy who rejected people thousands of miles away and only wanted to become stronger now has a lot of human touch~ But that's good, and it's best At least the tragedies like mine will not be repeated in the future."

"Tragedy..." After Lu Hui complained so much, Ma Li asked curiously: "I've been curious since just now, Ms. ?"

Originally, the aunt was about to blurt out, but after Ma Li noticed that Aloe's eyes were about to turn gloomy, she immediately changed her words with high EQ.

"Don't think too much about it."
