I, the Pokémon Master, now resign

So if there is no accident, she may choose to return to the Galar region to travel for a period of time after leaving Baichen, starting from the identified initial town, traveling all the way to the northernmost city, and challenging one after another. field, qualify for the Champions Cup Challenge, and prove yourself there.

Then... there, as the future owner of Spike Town, he won Qibana and challenged Dandi... If he can beat Qibana, his dream has actually been half realized right?Spike Town will become famous because of this, Spike Gymnasium will also become the focus of attention, the strongest gymnasium in the Galar region......

Last words...

Become a gymnasium owner and live in Spike Town to accept challenges from trainers from various regions, right?

"Why, it's so empty..."

Mary, who was still riding a bicycle, couldn't help covering her chest after thinking of such a future, and her expression became extremely depressed.

It was clearly the future she hoped for, but why did this hope make her feel bored?

"What's the matter? Mary? Your expression suddenly became very strange. Are you uncomfortable? Do you want to stop by the side and take a rest first?"

"No...it's okay, just keep going, it's just that I suddenly remembered something uncomfortable..."

Ma Li forced herself to smile at Bai Chen, and this time she lied to Bai Chen again.

It's not that I think of uncomfortable things, but I think of a future that won't change, and I feel depressed because of it.

So from this point of view, I am really fragile, not as strong as Teacher Bai Chen said at all.

correct! ?

Suddenly, Mary seemed to realize something.

Isn't Teacher Bai Chen the one who realized his dream?

Ma Li looked at Bai Chen, and asked with a slightly stiff tone: "By the way, Teacher Bai Chen...I have a question to ask you."

"Huh? Is there still something to do? Are you tired and want to take a rest?"

"No, it's not such a small problem." Mary quickly denied it. "I want to ask you, after you realize your dream, do you feel a sense of emptiness where you don't know where to work?"

"Huh? What kind of problem is this? Aren't you only about 15? If you are so young and want to be so old-fashioned, you will grow old together."

Bai Chen said this to Ma Li with words that should not have been spoken by him at all, but after all she said so, he had to answer.

"Hey, if I have to say it, I was really not very excited when I won the last game~ It's inevitable to be empty, right? After all, after becoming a Pokémon master, it proves that I have no opponents, right?"

Riding on the bike, both of them looked forward, Bai Chen said so, while Ma Li just listened, as if they were talking to themselves instead of talking heart to heart.

"But that feeling of emptiness also comes and goes quickly. A dream is something that can exist forever, and can also change at any time. After seeing a dream, your daily life is still determined by yourself~ The specific questions are as follows: Leave it to you in the future to decide~ But at least, the current me doesn’t feel that life will be empty.”

Leave it to your future self to decide?

Ma Li looked at the sky, recalling Bai Chen's words in her heart.

However, as the owner of the gymnasium, haven't I been confined to Spike Town...

For the time being, Mary couldn't give herself a satisfactory answer.

......

298 Beaches, fishing, barbecues

After riding for several hours, not only Ma Li, but also Bai Chen felt a little tired. Although they could continue to move forward, they had already reached the rest stop in the middle of the Tianjian Bridge, so there was no need to continue to move forward. Anyway, according to the current situation Speed, you can leave the Sky Arrow Bridge and reach the other side within today.

"Huh, let's stop here for a while, and then rest for two hours before continuing."

Bai Chen took Ma Li to ride towards the rest area on the left bank of the bridge, and after parking the rented bicycle at the designated place, Bai Chen finally had time to observe this area that was very popular.

This is the center of the Tianjian Bridge. The Tianjian Bridge has a certain altitude. The gap between the piers is enough for large ships to pass. However, in the center of the Tianjian Bridge is a slowly falling ramp. The sea area is only a few meters away.

While observing the surroundings, Bai Chen couldn't help thinking that maybe the alliance officials realized that this place could create a tourist landmark with great economic value, so they specially built such a rest area.

Bai Chen and Ma Li came to the rest area on the left side of the Tianjian Bridge. The two sides are roughly symmetrical structures, and there is not much difference. It is just that compared with the urban belt on the ground where there are many tall buildings, the east, that is, the Tianjian Bridge. The rest stop on the right side of the Arrow Bridge can even appreciate the style of the sea.

"Is this staircase leading to the man-made beach below?"

Walking out of the pavilion in the rest area, there is a circle of railings around the outside, and in the center is a safety ladder leading to the bottom. According to what I saw in the travel guide a few days ago, it seems that this safety ladder leads to the Tianjian Bridge the sea below.

The surrounding area of ​​the central sea area has been officially filled with man-made beaches by the United Alliance, so here passengers can see wonderful landscapes that are impossible to see in other places——

Ships on both sides sailed leisurely, and passengers set up camp in the center.

"I want to go down and have a look."

Now that she's here, Ma Li certainly wants to go down to experience what it's like to play on such a man-made beach. Of course, Bai Chen has no objection to this. Even if Ma Li doesn't tell him, he still wants to go down, but... ....

"Cough cough~~"

As if aware of the first batch of tourists today, the person guarding the safe passage coughed lightly, looked at the two with a smile on his face, and then pointed to the sign next to him.

Marked above is the ticket money required to go to the following.

"Tsk, as expected, this is still a disappointment..."

Although Bai Chen didn't care how much he had to pay, whenever he saw such a signboard when he was in high spirits, it would always lower his high enthusiasm a lot.

There is no way, after all, this is also a part of life, I just hope that when I come back, I won't collect the money again.

Bai Chen thought so while helplessly taking out his wallet.

......

After getting off the safety escalator and coming to the beach above the sea, Bai Chen and Ma Li opened their arms, embracing the huge sea breeze blowing in front of them.

Although it was a bit cold, but the emotion when paying just now was finally dispelled a lot, at least in the city and the center of the city you can enjoy such a landscape, so far as Bai Chen is concerned, it should be regarded as a profit.

Because the departure was very early, and it was still a working day, there were no other tourists on the whole beach, and such a big beach felt like it was reserved by them.

"You can also rent fishing tackle here, do you want to try it?"

Bai Chen turned his head to look at Ma Li and asked.

It is rare to come here, and there is also a fishing spot specially opened in front of it to attract tourists. If you don't go fishing, you always feel a little strange as if you ignore other people's efforts.

What's more, although this beach is very strange and spectacular, it is a place specially built for taking pictures. The sea in front can neither go swimming nor rent yachts. People who come here seem to be The only leisure activity that can be chosen is fishing.

"Fishing... Mmm! I want to try!"

Hearing about fishing, Ma Li's expression became extremely excited, and seeing Ma Li's appearance, Bai Chen suddenly remembered something.

In this way, it seems that Spike Town is located in the north of the Galar region, and it is very cold most of the time throughout the year, and there is no place for fishing on the nearby lake...

"Okay, then you can go fishing first, I can teach you how to fish~ I originally came to the challenge to catch water-type Pokémon, but I found a fishing expert who trained for a while~"

Bai Chen patted his chest and said that this matter was on him.

However, although it was said that it was handed over to him, in less than two hours, could Mary really catch a fish?

Although fishing seems to be very simple, if you really want to catch something, you need the blessing of two elements, patience and luck.

And what kind of Pokmon are there in this sea area?

It can't be a savage perch, can it?

If this guy is really caught, then Mary may be in trouble for a while. The savage bass in the Hezhong area is the same as the sharp tooth fish in the Fangyuan area. They like to move in groups and are extremely vindictive. Strong, for the guys who disturb them, they usually attack in groups of a dozen or even dozens of them.

Even Bai Chen would be annoyed by these guys' reckless dismissal, let alone Ma Li.

only......

"Listen well, Morubek, as soon as a Pokémon is hooked and lands on the beach, attack quickly!"

"Mor~!"

Ma Li over there has already excitedly called out Molu Beike, and it seems that she is going to do a big job. For this, Bai Chen can only sigh in his heart that it is good to be young, and then continue to set up behind I picked up the rented grill, lit the charcoal fire, put some leftover ingredients in the backpack together with some barbecue materials bought in the small shop at the back, and then began to wait for the grill to heat up.

Time passed slowly, the distance was just now, and now many people have begun to appear on the beach one after another. Looking at everyone's luggage, most of them seem to have come here specially for tourism, of course, there are also a small number of people who are Like them, I stopped by to have a look during my travels.

"Well, it's almost there."

He poked the crispy grilled wings on the grill with his chopsticks, and only after making sure that the first batch of grilled wings were cooked did Bai Chen put them on a plate and walk towards Mali.

During this process, he also found that with the increase in the number of people, more than half of the barbecue ingredients in the shops behind have been sold out. In such a place where the supply exceeds demand, it is no wonder that the price is so expensive.

......

299 Lunch preparation, hooked "fish"?

Bai Chen was holding a baking tray, and some cooked food was placed on it, about half of which were grilled and crispy chicken wings, and the rest were some simple sausages and vegetables.

"Still nothing?"

Bai Chen, who had been watching from the side, of course knew that Ma Li had gotten nothing so far, but out of concern, he still asked this question.

"No...no movement at all..."

Although I also know that it is not easy for me to achieve results in such a short period of time when I am fishing for the first time, but Ma Li is still a little frustrated when facing the reality. On the fish.

Seeing Ma Li's frustration, Bai Chen just waved his hands to let her relax and said:

"If it's really so easy to succeed, it's no fun~ Anyway, there is still more than an hour, let's see luck, if there is no harvest here, there is also a chance to continue fishing in Feiyun City, after all, there is The largest port city in the Hezhong area."

After Bai Chen finished speaking, Ma Li's expression was slightly relieved, and then Bai Chen motioned Ma Li to sit down and have lunch first.

"Let's put the fishing rod there. It's not too late to go if there are fish hooked. Now let's eat something first, and let's talk about filling our stomachs."

"Ah."

Ma Li didn't object, and naturally sat opposite Bai Chen.

Just like what Bai Chen said, it’s really not good to be hungry. After all, you have to ride a bicycle for several hours to cross the Sky Arrow Bridge. Did you cause trouble for Bai Chen?

But then again, how long is the bridge...

Ma Li, who sat down, took a bunch of grilled wings from Bai Chen, and her eyes could not help but drift towards the position of the Sky Arrow Bridge above, the other end of the bridge was still far away as if there was no end in sight.

And, having said that...

It's going to be a long uphill road, right?

The structure of the whole bridge presents a relatively gentle V shape. The center of the bridge, where Ma Li and Bai Chen are now, is the lowest point of the bridge. After going downhill for a while, the Sky Arrow Bridge is ushered in Is that the hardest uphill climb...

Just thinking of this, Mary felt her legs ached, but after she took a bite of the roasted wing, feeling the delicious gravy and the seasoning-covered skin blooming in her mouth, Mary felt a little bit of pain. The son felt that life was full of hope.

What could be better than enjoying a delicious barbecue on a beach like this, with the sea breeze blowing and watching the boats go by?

Absolutely not!

"good to eat!"

Ma Li was not stingy with her compliments. She never expected that Bai Chen would be so proficient in cooking not only home cooking, but also barbecue.

"Hmph~ Of course~ You know, experienced trainers may not be very good at cooking, but they will definitely be good at baking things."

"why?"

Holding the bamboo sticks in both hands, she was still eating the grilled wings on the other side, but after hearing what Bai Chen said, Ma Li stopped what she was doing and looked at him curiously.

"Of course, right? After all, which trainer has never lost his way? If you want to eat something delicious when you get lost in the wild, isn't barbecue naturally the best choice~"

Ma Li nodded as if she understood, as if there was such a reason, her brain stopped thinking when she was eating just now, and she even wanted to ask such a simple reason.

Still have to pay attention to the image...

Thinking of this, Ma Li's movements also began to slow down. Although she was very hungry after riding the car all morning, and the barbecue was really delicious, if she lost her image just because of this, then Wouldn't it be worth the candle...

Thinking of trying to make a better impression on Bai Chen, Ma Li finally calmed down and heard Bai Chen ask again:

"Would you like bacon and barbecue sauce?"

"want!"

Mary, it was quickly broken.

Seeing Ma Li eating the barbecue happily, Bai Chen just smiled gratifiedly. For a cook, there is nothing happier than watching others enjoy the food he cooked.

Bai Chen didn't grab the first batch of food from Ma Li, after all, he also knew that Ma Li fell asleep in her room without even eating a few bites of dinner after finishing her day of school yesterday. It is natural to be hungry in the past and now.

"Mor~! Mor~!"

When Ma Li was enjoying a peaceful lunch time, Molu Beike, who had been watching by the side, also drooled, and opened his arms to Bai Chen and Ma Li as if he couldn't help it anymore. It means that you are hungry too.

"Huh?! Dui... Sorry bu... I'll...gei... prepare lunch for you right away."

Immersed in her own lunch for a while, Ma Li even forgot to feed Morube, but they had already eaten. In a panic, Ma Li could only swallow the bunch of roasted wings in her hand in a hurry , causing her to be a little slurred even now.

Bai Chen at the side really couldn't stand it anymore, he held her shoulder and said:

"Forget it, you'd better eat well, I'll help Morubek prepare food, let's release your other Pokémon first."

"But......"
