I, the Pokémon Master, now resign

According to the normal route, you must first pass through the Yacar Forest before reaching the next rest point, but in Bai Chen's impression, that rest point is just a small apartment specially set up by the alliance, and you can't buy it there. What to buy, especially dry food necessary for travel.

This requires the trainer to prepare enough materials that span the two cities in the previous town, which is Qibao City.

After all, no one can guarantee that you will not get lost in the complicated place of Yacar no Mori, and no one can guarantee that you have enough strength to cross the Sky Arrow Bridge in one day.

Thinking of Tianjian Bridge, Bai Chen couldn't help but start to have a headache again.

To cross the Tianjian Bridge, you have to rent two bicycles there, and the middle distance may not be enough for four hours of riding time.

Many people are not strong enough to ride for such a long time in one day, so the alliance also kindly set up rest stops at several stations of the Tianjian Bridge. When Bai Chen passed by there, they were only used for rest. resting place.

However, after such a long time, it seems that I heard that the rest point of Tianjian Bridge has become a popular camping site. I don’t know if it’s true or not. What it's like to spend the night at the bridge.

"However, no matter what, I still have to buy things first... Alas~~"

After finally pulling himself from fantasy to reality, Bai Chen couldn't help sighing, shaking his head while walking towards Qibao City Shopping Center.

At the same time, in the furniture city south of Qibao City.

.......

"Well... this chair is so cheap, and it's so comfortable to sit on... but this coffee table is also very good..."

Strolling around in the furniture city, there are dazzling arrays of products everywhere. Numerous large and small wooden furniture have been carefully arranged by the merchants, presenting a different kind of beauty.

Every step you take, you can feel the scenery in your eyes is different.

Every step you take, you can see brand new furniture that is different from before.

Not to mention the different furniture, even the same furniture has completely different shapes under different carving techniques. Everything here makes Ma Li feel sincerely excited.

"Haha~ Right? This is the place that Qibao City is proud of! Every tourist who comes here will become like you~"

The specialties of his own city are so popular, and Aloe, who is the owner of the Qibao City Gymnasium, also laughed happily.

"Well, they're all really nice...I used to like the more trendy and trendy stuff, but furniture like this is nice too!"

Perhaps it was because of the excitement that was aroused while shopping, and now Ma Li looks much more lively and cheerful than usual. Even when facing Aloe, who has only met for a long time, she has completely let go of her chatterbox .

But this may also have something to do with Aloe Vera's carefree personality.

"Haha~ Is that so? Since this is the case, I can rest assured~ If you want anything, feel free to buy~ I can help you get the best price! This is also the strength of being a gymnasium owner!"

"Really?! Thank you very much!"

Accepting Aloe's kindness again, Mary thanked her from the bottom of her heart, and Aloe just waved her hand casually to indicate that it's okay, but then her expression suddenly changed, and she asked a little seriously:

"By the way, if it's possible... I hope I can ask you one thing."

"Huh?" Mary, who was still indulging in the excitement of shopping, immediately nodded when she heard Aloe's tone suddenly becoming more formal: "If it is within my ability, I will definitely help Your."

Mary's attitude was very firm, without any perfunctory element in it.

Seeing this, Aloe also showed a smile again, and nodded in relief, looking relieved.

"Since this is the case, I won't continue to beat around the bush. What I want to ask you is..."

294 Farewell to Qibao City

As night fell, Qibao City was dyed with a quiet night.

Every house lights up, adding a touch of life to the night.

Pokémon Center, second floor.

In a certain room, Bai Chen was counting the supplies purchased today.

"Water, energy biscuits...and, instant soup...um...should be all right? These things can last at least four days in the wild."

At the end of the day's busy work, Bai Chen couldn't help stretching his waist, the spirit that had been straining all the time could be somewhat relaxed now.

Before, Bai Chen was worried about whether he would suffer from insomnia after returning to the Hezhong area, but judging from the daily workload, it takes a certain skill to lose sleep.

"Bang Bang~"

Just as Bai Chen was about to wash up and go to bed, there was a knock on the door suddenly.

"Is Teacher Bai Chen in?"

It was Mary's voice. It seems that she and Aloe have finally finished their shopping.

He stood up and opened the door, only to see Mary standing at the door with a tired face on her face, she seemed to be in a trance.

But this is of course, after all, it is already past 9 o'clock in the evening. Although this time is not a big deal for Pokémon trainers, sometimes in order to hurry, many trainers can't rest even at 12 o'clock in the morning.

But Ma Li is shopping today after all. For Bai Chen, shopping is much more tiring than driving. It should be the same for Ma Li, but she didn't realize it.

"Are you finally back? How was it? Did you have fun today?" Bai Chen leaned to the side, trying to block Ma Li's view of the room.

Bai Chen's small actions were noticed by Ma Li. Although her mental state is not very good now, she also understands that Bai Chen lied to herself before.

To prepare, so many things...

With just one glance, Ma Li judged how many supplies Bai Chen was counting—for two people, about 4 days.

Mary felt a little regretful. If she had known that she needed so many things to leave Qibao City this time, she would definitely have rejected Aloe with a tougher attitude.

However, the matter has already passed, and Bai Chen's current behavior obviously does not want her to continue to worry. If this is Bai Chen's wish, Ma Li can only pretend that she did not notice it.

It's just that Bai Chen's behavior made Ma Li recall the matter of aloe begging her in the furniture city.

----

"If possible, I hope you can take a good look at that guy Bai Chen."

"I'm optimistic about Teacher Bai Chen? Why?"

At first, Ma Li didn't know why Aloe would say that, because in her impression, Bai Chen was almost omnipotent, after all, with the strength of being a Pokémon master, he could do anything, right?

However, the words of aloe obviously do not have such a shallow meaning.

"That's not what I mean. I want you to pay attention to that guy's behavior. Although I also heard it from others, I think it should be true."

Aloe shook his head, then said in a heavy tone:

"Bai Chen seems to have always been indifferent to his own situation, that is to say, he tends to be brave and takes everything on his own shoulders."

It's not that Lu Hui has never seen a person with this kind of personality, but when she talked about this topic with Adek, she was still a little speechless because of the image of Bai Chen in Adek's mouth.

"Having reached this peak at such a young age, besides talent and opportunity, what else is needed, you should know?"

"effort?"

Mary expressed her thoughts a little unconfidently.

It's a pity that Ma Li's answer can only be said to be half correct. Trying to describe it like this is a compliment, but Aloe's evaluation of Bai Chen is not a compliment.

"To describe it more accurately, it should actually be fighting for life."

----

Don't care about your own life, just to achieve the goal in your heart.

I don't care how tired I am, as long as my legs can move, I won't stop moving forward.

These are not fairy tales, nor are they inspirational chicken soup plots, but real events that actually happened to Bai Chen.

Looking at the tired Bai Chen standing in front of her, Ma Li lowered her head, but then she seemed to understand something again, and raised her head again, her eyes were firm, her lips naturally raised, bringing With a smile, he said to Bai Chen:

"I had a great time today. I came here to say good night to Teacher Bai Chen. I wish you a sweet dream."

"Oh......"

Bai Chen couldn't react for a while, but after meeting Ma Li's eyes, he seemed to understand something again, smiled helplessly, patted her on the head, and responded in the same tone:

"I wish you a sweet dream too."

"Ah."

Ma Li nodded, and after watching Bai Chen close the door, she breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards her room.

Tonight, both of them had a good dream.

......

The next day, early in the morning.

The sky is clear, the sun is shining, and it is a good time to travel.

At the entrance of the Pokémon Center, she woke up early, and after Aloe, who was waiting for the two of them here in advance, yawned, she noticed that the door of the Pokémon Center suddenly opened, and the two people she had been waiting for came out side by side.

"Yo~ Did you sleep well yesterday?" Aloe showed a generous smile, and waved to the two of them in greeting.

"It's not bad, but I didn't expect you to come here to see us off in person, is it too troublesome?"

Originally, she planned to leave early to save aloe's time, but she didn't expect that even at this time, she had already arrived at the door and waited for them.

"Haha~ Look at what you said, after all, this time you came back and helped me untie the knots in my heart for so many years~ Isn't it normal to come to see you off? Besides, Ma Li was also cited by Qibao City yesterday. They have made a lot of contributions to the proud furniture market, so let me take it as a thank you for them!"

"Contribute to..."

If it's just a simple shopping, it shouldn't be too much to say, how much did Mary buy... Although the price is cheaper than outside, it's still furniture...

"?"

Noticing Bai Chen's gaze, Ma Li looked away unnaturally, and said guiltily:

"No, it's okay... because it's cash on delivery... so, it doesn't affect me... it's okay..."

"Of course I know it doesn't affect you...I'm worried about your brother now, is it really okay?"

"It should...it should be...no problem..."

Ma Li poked her finger. Although she said so, she always felt that she could already see Nie Zi's grief-stricken appearance a few days later.

......

295 Arrowhead Forest, Staying in Place

In this way, Ma Li and Bai Chen's one-day trip in Qibao City came to an end.

Saying goodbye to Aloe who came here specially to see him off, walking in the early morning sunshine, under the leadership of Bai Chen, the two quickly crossed Qibao City and came to the west suburb of Qibao City——

Yacar no Mori.

"It's a dark place."

Just walked in here, Mary couldn't help complaining.

Although she has seen quite a few dark forests, Yacar no Mori is definitely at the top of her mind. If you add the fog that pervades here all the time, Mary should be able to classify this place as the one she hates the most. Forest TOP1.

"Is it dark?"

Bai Chen, who was walking in front, chuckled twice, like an experienced old man, and said in a confident tone:

"Although it's not wrong to describe it like this, but don't look at how gloomy it is here, as long as I come to lead the way, it's only a matter of minutes to get out."

"Why do I feel that, Mr. Bai Chen, you are setting up something extraordinary?"

She has been traveling with Bai Chen for a while, and Ma Li has a clearer understanding of Bai Chen's abilities during the trip——

The cooking is delicious, the travel experience is sufficient, and the materials are well prepared, but there is one biggest problem...

Love to get lost.

It seems that it is not appropriate to use the word love to describe it. It sounds like Bai Chen is getting lost on purpose. It is better to change it to easy to get lost here, right?

In short, Ma Li, who has suffered once before, has lost confidence in Bai Chen in terms of knowing the way, and she is also suspicious of Bai Chen's so-called promise from the beginning to the end.

"Please leave the map of Yacar no Mori to me for safekeeping. Teacher Bai Chen, just follow me."

"Tsk tsk tsk, this is your layman."

Regarding Ma Li's uneasiness, Bai Chen just shook his fingers and smacked his lips like this.

/

"In the Yacar Forest, relying on the map is the easiest way to make mistakes, because the branches and trails here are intertwined and complicated. You must always focus on the current road. If you care too much about the map, just take the wrong one. Xiaolu will be completely finished~”

"Well......"

Although Ma Li didn't really want to trust Bai Chen in this aspect, but what he said seemed to be true.

There is another problem that bothers Mary, and that is——

If she is leading the way, she must not get lost, because she has taken the responsibility on herself; on the other hand, if she listens to Bai Chen's opinion, it seems reasonable to get lost. Who made him a road idiot?
