I, the Pokémon Master, now resign

"Roar....."

In Mr. Taichi's last reprimand, Blizzard King responded in a low voice, lowering his head and looking very disappointed.

After confirming that the Blizzard King had reflected on himself, Mr. Taichi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and at this moment he seemed to remember the object he was fighting with the Blizzard King just now, and then quickly turned around with a look of warning in his eyes.

"By the way, who are you? Why do you look familiar to me? And why did you fight with King Blizzard?"

After turning around, there were three questions from the soul, and Bai Chen was not surprised that Taichi would ask the last question, but the first two questions... Seriously?

Although it is true that Bai Chen and Mr. Taichi have not met a few times, if he insists on counting, he may only have met Mr. Taichi when he first visited Shuran Town to say hello and later when he helped plant fruit trees. Bar.

But is it really that I can't remember at all...

"Uh... that... Actually..." Shaking his head and throwing away all the redundant thoughts in his mind, Bai Chen explained to Mr. Taichi: "I'm from the House of Random Things The boss, Bai Chen, came here to find you at the entrustment of Aunt Stepson, because you haven't been back for many days, and you haven't sent Aunt Stepson a message, so she is very worried about you."

"!? My wife asked you to come here? Huh? So you come to Wanshiwu? I seem to have a little impression... But I didn't send a message to my family... I should have sent it... ..."

"It depends on you how the specific situation is, but when I received the entrustment, my stepson and aunt said that I hadn't received any news, so I was afraid that you would get hurt too deeply when tracking wild Pokémon, so I decided entrusted me."

"Is that so......"

After the two sides exchanged information, they fell into a strange silence.

Although he didn't know what was going on in Mr. Taichi's mind, Bai Chen probably already guessed that this incident would be another oolong if nothing unexpected happened.

For some reason, Mr. Taichi failed to send the information home, and he himself did not notice it, so he stayed in the wild all the time, but his stepson and auntie were always in a state of worry and anxiety because they did not receive the information from her husband. The first oolong.

As for the second oolong, it is about Blizzard King.

Judging from its behavior and strength, it is definitely the mountain god that the village chief said, but the village chief may have misunderstood something when he said that Mr. Taichi offended the mountain god. The real answer should be that Mr. Taichi helped it.

From Mr. Taichi's words of reprimanding Blizzard King before, Bai Chen heard that Blizzard King had some disease and Mr. Taichi helped him treat it. It is precisely because of the doctor-patient relationship between the two that Blizzard King was I have such respect for Mr. Taichi.

There was silence between the two for a while, and finally Mr. Taichi sighed helplessly.

"Alas... I must have made a mistake in the middle of this. In short, I am really sorry to let you go this way. I still have a little finishing work to do, so I can't leave for the time being. If possible, I will trouble you Help me pass a message to my wife, just say that I am safe and well, and I can go back in three days."

After finishing speaking, Mr. Taichi bowed deeply to Bai Chen, as if expressing his apology, but after seeing Mr. Taichi's determination, Bai Chen couldn't say anything, so he could only talk to the long-haired dog and Absolu. He looked at it twice, sighed and replied:

"I see. It's good to know that you're fine, so I'll go back first."

Seeing that Bai Chen was about to leave, the Blizzard King standing behind Tai Chi seemed to be planning to say something more, trying to reach out his hand many times to stop Bai Chen, but in the end he chose to give up.

In this way, under the watchful eyes of Mr. Taichi and King Blizzard, this entrustment came to an end.

......

031 Return to Random Town, as usual daily life

A few days ago, he was still working hard in the snow-capped mountains, looking for the missing person; but now Bai Chen has returned to the coffee shop and started entertaining guests.

Although he has traveled for many years, and now he has opened two stores in Random Town, but such a gap still makes Bai Chen feel emotional.

"However, today's business is quite ordinary. After that gentleman leaves, I always feel a little uncomfortable..."

Looking at the empty storefront here, Bai Chen couldn't help sighing.

Maybe it's close to the end of the year, and the number of customers these few days is a bit pitiful. Maybe it's because of the entrustment of Master House that the coffee shop has been closed for too long without reason, causing people in the town to start hugging" Anyway, the cafe usually closes from time to time, so why not just find a random time to take a stroll nearby, what if you happen to come across it while strolling casually?Why waste time here in normal times? '

Of course, if the people in the town start to feel that the coffee shop and its owner are very casual, Bai Chen has nothing to do. After all, if he put himself in his shoes, he would not like to go to a shop that does not know when it will open. Isn't opening the door a waste of time looking for guilt?

But even if the people in the town start to have such thoughts, Bai Chen will not change it, because no matter how popular the coffee shop is, it will not be his main business, but the house of everything.

At the beginning, it was only expected that the business of Wanshiwu would not be very good. In order to prevent the money from flowing out, Bai Chen decided to open a coffee shop. When Wanshiwu was free, he would do some part-time jobs to earn a little money. People make good relationships, but no matter how you say it, Bai Chen will put the commission of Wanshiwu at No.1, not here.

After wiping the last cup on the table, there was really no work to do in the coffee shop. Bai Chen, who had nothing to do, sat down and stretched, recalling in his mind that he had completed the entrustment of Tianguan Mountain. Auntie Zi said to herself.

......

"Really!? My husband... is he really okay!?"

After returning from Tianguan Mountain, Bai Chen immediately went to the house of his stepson and aunt to report to her about the entrustment.

Originally thinking that something happened to Mr. Taichi, she almost cried out of joy when she heard Bai Chen say that there was nothing wrong with him, and she could see how torturous this period of time was for her.

What is the purpose of opening a master house?

If it is just for a little work, the coffee shop can completely replace the Wanshiwu, and the coffee shop earns more than the Wanshiwu, but Bai Chen has always put the status of the Wanshiwu above the coffee shop. Perhaps the reason is that he prefers to see the heartfelt expression of the client when he sees his problems and troubles resolved.

"If they find out, I'm afraid I will be reprimanded? Anyway, they will definitely say in the end, 'You can't even solve your own affairs, so how can you spare time to help others?' They will definitely say that Yes~ I know them too well."

Bai Chen, lying on the table, might have pictured in his mind what they looked like when they were being reprimanded, so he couldn't help making a self-deprecating snort.

No matter how much I do it, I can't be understood, so why do I have to go back?Isn't life good in Random Town?There are so many people who can understand me without listening to people's whims and being treated as useless children...

"Mu~ra..."

"Lie..."

Pokémon are very sensitive to changes in other people's emotions, and the long-haired dog and cool leopard who have followed Bai Chen for so many years naturally sensed that Bai Chen was a little irritable now, so they walked to the side of the counter and each whispered, expressing with his own worries.

"It's nothing, don't worry, the past is in the past tense, just live happily now."

Realizing his gaffe, Bai Chen quickly patted his cheek to stay awake. After stretching for the last time, he stood up and was about to go out for a walk, but just as he was about to go out, there was another call from the door. There came the sound of "Dingling~" from the bell.

The door of the cafe was opened.

"Huh? Mr. Taichi!?" Bai Chen couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw the person coming, and after he realized it, he stepped forward and said, "Have you been back yet?"

"Well, I just returned to Random Town, and I have already reported to my wife that I am safe, and then I came here."

Mr. Taichi seemed a little embarrassed, rubbing his head as if he was thinking about how to express himself, after a short silence, he finally took a breath, bowed slightly to Bai Chen and apologized: "I'm sorry, Bai Chen When you came to see me, sir, I didn't remember you for a while, but after my step-son reminded me, I remembered that you came to our house to help twice, I'm really sorry!"

I thought I wanted to say something important, but it turned out that I just came to apologize?

Although Mr. Taichi had forgotten his existence at the time, Bai Chen was not angry at all. After all, he had dealt with many strange people before, among which Mr. Taichi had more than two hands to count.

"It's okay." Faced with Mr. Taichi's apology, Bai Chen just shook his head and said, "I don't really care about this."

The relief shown by Bai Chen actually made Mr. Taichi look even more embarrassed. Although he wanted to repay something, but think about it, it was because of his wife's entrustment that Bai Chen would go to Tianguan Mountain to find him. It's not a good look to be so hesitant here.

"I see."

Mr. Taichi nodded, took another deep breath, found a random place and sat down.

"There's nothing to repay, so I'll order something to eat~ Since it's the first time I'm here, I don't know what to order, so please boss!"

Taichi slapped his thigh and said so.

There was nothing to repay, Tai Chi thought a little bit and finally decided to take care of Bai Chen's business as a return gift, which not only seemed natural, but also strengthened the relationship between the two.

As expected of my wife's idea, genius...

Recalling the advice his wife gave before he came here, Taichi couldn't help but praise secretly.

With Taichi's way of life, of course he couldn't come up with such a brilliant idea, if there is no suggestion from his stepson, after Bai Chen said that he doesn't mind, maybe Taichi would have left directly.

Sure enough, after Taichi said this sentence, Bai Chen was slightly stunned, and then smiled relievedly, perhaps guessing that Mr. Taichi's words came from his stepson and aunt.

"I see, don't worry, leave it to me. I just happen to be curious about some details of this commission. If possible, I will trouble you..."

"It's okay, please feel free to ask! I will know everything! But on the other hand, I also have some things I want to ask Mr. Bai Chen."

"Please teach me?"

A trace of confusion appeared on Bai Chen's face.

......

032 Conversation in the Café

Random town, random cafe.

Mr. Taichi was sitting on a seat closer to the gate, holding a Pokémon Weekly magazine hanging in the corner of the coffee shop, which recorded many anecdotes that happened in the wild recently, and some stories related to Pokémon. Academic reports and some recommendations of Pokémon suitable for novice trainers to challenge gyms.

Mr. Taichi is not interested in Pokémon battles, so he basically reads the content of the first two topics throughout the magazine, and he seems to be enjoying it. While reading the magazine, he will talk to himself about a few comments In other words, Bai Chen has seen this habit in many Pokémon doctors. I still remember asking Dr. Oki why he did this. He said that expressing opinions while talking to himself can better stimulate thinking. Know if that's the case.

Anyway, his thinking is usually fully stimulated when he is in a relatively quiet or tense situation.

For example, when lying on a wicker chair and basking in the sun; or when engaging in more intense Pokémon battles.

"Well... Sure enough, a sandwich is better..."

Standing behind the cooking counter, Bai Chen glanced at Mr. Taichi who was still reading the weekly magazine, and couldn't help thinking.

Mr. Taichi seems to have just rushed back from Tianguan Mountain. Although the time is after noon, the other party obviously has no time to eat. In this case, you can actually try to cook Naples pasta as a dinner. It's satisfying, though...

In-depth researchers like that usually can't stop reading magazines, so the most suitable food for them is definitely sandwiches.

After shrugging his shoulders and chuckling, Bai Chen put back the spaghetti he had just taken out, and took out a piece of pork chop instead.

Tonkatsu sandwich with a glass of fresh sweet peach juice is delicious and satisfying, perfect for those who are reading magazines.

After making such a decision, Bai Chen took out the food from the cabinet, poured oil into the pot to heat it up, and chatted with Mr. Taichi who was reading a magazine intentionally or unintentionally.

"By the way, by the way, Mr. Taichi, you said that you sent a message to your family when you decided to stay in Tianguan Mountain, right? Then why didn't your stepson and aunt receive it?"

When Bai Chen spoke up suddenly, Taichi, who was still concentrating on reading the magazine, suddenly paused, and then said a little embarrassedly: "Originally, I had already sent a message, but what I didn't expect was that the mountainside of Tianguan Mountain had already There is no signal, so the text message has not been sent, but I didn't notice it. I wanted to see if there was a reply message when I was a little free, but unfortunately the phone was out of battery at that time , I didn't care either."

Speaking of this, I saw Mr. Taichi smiled bitterly. If it wasn't because he was too careless, such a misunderstanding would not have occurred. From this point of view, I really shouldn't have.

Did the misunderstanding come from here...

Hearing what Mr. Taichi said, Bai Chen couldn't help but smile, but fortunately, all of this was just a misunderstanding, and there was no major problem, otherwise it would be troublesome.

"However, it's really surprising. That Blizzard King has such a violent temper but is obedient to you, Mr. Taichi. Is it because you helped him heal his illness?"

Thinking of the appearance of the Blizzard King when it went mad, Bai Chen couldn't help but sigh for a while. He didn't expect Mr. Taichi to be able to cure such a Pokémon. Should he really be an expert in Pokémon research?

Just when Bai Chen finished speaking, Mr. Taichi who was still reading the magazine suddenly put down the magazine, and began to concentrate on discussing this matter with Bai Chen.

"Actually, that Blizzard King... how should I put it? The initial character was not so irritable. At that time, I broke into its territory and was discovered. At the beginning, it just tried to drive me out. It didn't want to Hurt me."

"Well... At first it did appear to be able to negotiate, but after I mentioned Mr. Taichi's name, it suddenly became violent and started attacking us without saying a word."

After Taichi said this, Bai Chen remembered that Blizzard King's behavior at that time seemed a little strange, obviously at first he was relatively gentle, but after hearing Taichi's name, he suddenly became like two people .

It was because of this that Bai Chen thought that Mr. Taichi was attacked by the Blizzard King, but it was clear that the Blizzard King respected Mr. Taichi so much, why did he...

"Ah, this... this should be because it misunderstood you."

"Misunderstand me?"

Bai Chen's expression looked a little strange.

clap~~

At this time, the pork chops wrapped in batter were also put into the oil pan, and with the sound of crackling, a strong smell of meat mixed with the smell of oil began to spread in the house.

cuckoo~~

Smelling the overflowing fragrance, a gurgling sound came from Taichi's stomach. At this moment, he finally remembered that he hadn't eaten for a day, but he was talking about business after all. , even Taichi felt embarrassed because of the untimely noise, touched his head a little embarrassingly, and said:

"Actually, it's because I've been complaining to Blizzard King many times before you came, and I said many times something like 'it took too long, this time I will definitely be taught a lesson, it's over. ....'In this case."

"Uh..." Bai Chen's expression became strange, and after thinking for a long time, he asked with some uncertainty: "Um...Mr. Taichi, do you mean...your words are exist......"

"Haha~ I was talking about her stepson, because I stayed in Tianguan Mountain for too long this time, and I couldn't even catch up with the delivery time of the fruit in the orchard, so I said that~ But Blizzard King seems to think that I I was being chased by some bad guys, so..."

"what."

It was only now that Bai Chen suddenly realized.

No wonder he was attacked by Blizzard King, so it seems that he is not wronged.

Although there was indeed a reason for being attacked, it was not a good thing after all. Bai Chen could only give a wry smile, and used tongs to remove the fried pork chops from the oil pan and put them on the chopping board. When it was cut open, Mr. Taichi's expression suddenly became serious, he got up and walked in front of him, took out a small bottle that looked a bit worn out from his arms, and handed it to Bai Chen.

"Since Mr. Bai Chen has finished asking your questions, it will be my turn next. To be on the safe side, I plan to show you this before handing it over to the police station. I can see from your battle with Blizzard King It shouldn't be easy for you to come out, right? At least as a Pokémon trainer?"

Tai Chi turned around while talking, with his back to Bai Chen, with a cautious tone in his tone.

"This bottle may be the culprit that caused Blizzard King to fall ill. During your trainer journey, Mr. Bai Chen, have you ever seen such medicine?"

"..."

Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Bai Chen didn't say anything, but turned the bottle around silently. The bottle was purple-black as a whole, without any description or trademark, only two letters were faintly engraved in the middle of the bottle.

.......

033 Late Night Call

At night, Random Town is silent, but there are golden lights shining on the second floor of an independent house in the outskirts.

"..."

Sitting under the light, Bai Chen looked solemnly at the bottle that he had been holding in his hand all the time, and kept tapping the table with his index finger to make bang bang noises.

On the other side, Monarch Snake was also standing next to Bai Chen, looking at the bottle with a slightly strange look, but after a while it returned to its usual calm and breezy look.
