I, the Pokémon Master, now resign

After all, no matter how beautiful the name is used to cover it up, it cannot cover up the fact that it is a cemetery.

From the establishment of the Tower of Heaven to now, tens of thousands of Pokmon have been buried there, and even many trainers with deep obsession prayed for them and themselves after they died of illness or old age. Pokémon buried together.

In short, those who will go to the Tower of Heaven must be people with heavy hearts.

And Miss Junsha thinks that she must have offended Bai Chen's mentality at this time by taking it as the mentality of traveling.

"No, it's nothing. After all, my current performance looks like I'm going on a trip to outsiders."

Bai Chen shook his hand to express that he was fine, and he also understood his current state very well.

"Besides, it wasn't my Pokémon that was buried there... Rather than being heavy and sad, I think my current mood is more like reminiscing."

Images of the past emerged in Bai Chen's mind, and an inexplicable bitterness spread all over his body.

Obviously, I have already seen it, but when I come to this place every year, do I still care about it......

Bai Chen smiled wryly in his heart.

So, he really is still a person who likes nostalgia.

"yes......"

Although Bai Chen said so, but after working as a policeman for so many years, Miss Junsha can tell from Bai Chen's slight expression that he is trying to be brave. Although she insists on moral justice, she Not naive.

It doesn't matter even if you don't know Bai Chen, as long as you know that he is the former Pokémon master, many problems have actually been solved.

To get to this position, it is definitely not enough to just have a dream. There will be many partings and failures along the way, and this is the only thing that is beyond doubt.

I don't know if I said something wrong, I always feel that Miss Junsha suddenly became silent.

"Huh..." Another minute or two passed, and when no one continued to talk, Miss Junsha finally got up.

"Since that's the case, I won't bother you any more, and I'm going to hurry down the mountain with Katie the dog."

"What is your goal?"

Bai Chen asked suddenly.

"Where are you going to stop?"

"..."

Miss Junsha was also overwhelmed by Bai Chen's question, a question she had never considered.

The reason why I started this trip is only because she and Katie are restless people. As for where to go...it seems that it has not been decided from the beginning, but if it is possible... .

"Maybe until I can't walk anymore, but I don't know when that day will be. After all, I was born as a policeman. Maybe I won't be free for the rest of my life."

Miss Junsha said so, and then squatted down and stroked the hairy head of Katie Dog again. Although she could see that she was getting older as a whole, Katie Gou's spirit was not bad at all. The previous force control Even Bai Chen was amazed by the perfect jet of flame.

Perhaps this is what they have accumulated over time...

Seeing Miss Junsha and Katie go away, Bai Chen suddenly felt that the goal might not be that important.

......

"Teacher Bai Chen—"

After sitting in the park for an unknown amount of time, Bai Chen finally opened his closed eyes amidst Mary's shouts.

"It's pretty awesome, you're about a minute away from the timeout."

Bai Chen looked up at the clock hanging on the railing on the side of the park, and found that Ma Li was going to be late by one minute, so he couldn't help complaining.

"Just like the students who came to the classroom at the last second when I was working part-time at the Pokémon Academy. Do you have any special abilities? You can calculate time so accurately..."

"No!" Although she was retorting, Mary also knew that she didn't make sense now, so her voice gradually fell. "It's just...just noticing the time when I was shopping..."

"Really?" Bai Chen nodded.

"So what is it about here that makes you so obsessed that you spend an hour and a half shopping."

This is what puzzled Bai Chen the most. He had already seen all the things that could be sold in this small town. Logically speaking, there was nothing special about them, they were just some daily necessities.

"Well... let me see, it's this one..."

After Ma Li heard that Bai Chen was interested in the things she bought, she immediately flipped through her backpack happily, and finally took out...

"Curse the villain?!"

Bai Chen was taken aback by what Ma Li took out. Lying in Ma Li's palm were three steel wire products in various movements, presenting a human posture.

It's just that at first glance, this thing looks like a substitute doll used by witches to curse others.

"That's not it!" Mary said dissatisfiedly: "This is the lucky guy! It's a specialty of this place."

"specialty......"

Standing, lying, and bending over...

Let's not talk about whether this kind of thing is a cursed villain or a lucky villain, but this kind of steel wire product can obviously be squeezed out by hand, right?No matter how you look at it, it looks like an IQ tax...

"Oh...whatever, I hope your brother won't come to trouble me in the future."

Bai Chen just wants to get rid of the relationship quickly. If Ma Li's strange interest is brought out by himself, he really can't explain it to that sister-in-law. It's just that Bai Chen's words aroused Ma Li's doubts. They have been lingering around Bai Chen constantly asking "why?"

Such a comparison, I always feel that Mary, who was quiet at the beginning, is a little cuter... She is too active and really troublesome, just like Kamizulei...

395 You, do you hate this place?

The Tower of Paradise is located in the northwest of the Hezhong area, on the 7th road between Fukiyose City and Snow Flower City.

The spire soars into the sky, and the bottom of the tower occupies a small half of the woods. It is currently the largest cemetery in all regions for burying Pokémon.

"The feeling here is a little different from the Lost Tower..."

Standing at the gate of the Tower of Heaven, Ma Li looked up at the top of the tower that could not see the edge, and said blankly.

Originally, in her impression, the Tower of Heaven was probably the same as the Lost Tower, a very eerie and weird place.But when she saw the scene in front of her eyes, she found that she seemed to be carried away by the stereotype.

Although the Tower of Heaven is a cemetery, it is not gloomy or desolate.

As the largest cemetery, many people come here every day to visit their lost Pokémon, ranging from 6 to 70-year-olds, down to 10-year-old children, are all guests here.

Far from being gloomy, the Tower of Heaven has an inexplicable sense of sublime. This is not because of its high altitude, but because of other factors. Although I can't say it, Mary's sixth sense thinks so .

"Awaited."

While Ma Li was carefully looking at the appearance of the Tower of Heaven, Bai Chen, who had gone to buy flowers earlier and asked Ma Li to stay here to wait for him, finally came back.

"these are?"

Looking at the bouquet of flowers in Bai Chen's hand, Ma Li asked curiously.

Although she is a girl, Ma Li has never paid much attention to things like flowers. Apart from the time spent training Pokémon, she spends most of her time watching fashion magazines.

"Gardenia."

Bai Chen simply replied.

"It is a flower that symbolizes regret and nostalgia. Every year, I bring a bouquet of gardenias here to visit it."

The one Bai Chen was talking about was naturally the dead Pokémon mentioned in Leaving Raven City.

I don't know what the story is, but when it comes to life and death, Ma Li quickly made her expression serious, and she no longer has the leisurely mood of watching the Tower of Heaven slowly.

......

Bai Chen walked in front with a heavy face, while Ma Li lowered her head slightly and followed behind Bai Chen slowly.

The Tower of Heaven has a white gate, which will be open during the day, but at night, the staff guarding the Tower of Heaven will close the gate to prohibit people from entering.

There are different opinions on why people are forbidden to enter the Tower of Heaven at night.

Some said it was to give the ghost-type Pokmon living in the Tower of Heaven a space to move freely, and some said it was because the Tower of Heaven’s yin energy was too heavy and would invade human bodies at night. They cast a curse.

Of course, in these statements, whether it is the former who believes in science, or the latter who loves supernatural events, these have nothing to do with Bai Chen.

The moment she walked into the Tower of Heaven from the gate, a strong light rushed towards her face. Even Mary, who lowered her head slightly, couldn't help raising her hand to block her face.

"So bright."

This is Mary's intuitive feeling.

Inside the Tower of Heaven, it is not as dark and heavy as the Lost Tower.

The light coming from outside the translucent glass shines on every corner of the Tower of Heaven, even those tombstones that would make hair stand up in the wild are illuminated by the white light at this time.

On the towering spire with no end in sight, the part closest to the sun sprinkled the hottest and brightest light, covering the entire interior of the Tower of Heaven like a holy light.

Compared with the cemetery, in Mary's opinion, the interior of the Tower of Heaven is more like a large church.

Those people who either bent down or knelt on the ground, came here to visit the dead, in such a situation, they seemed to be believers, praying devoutly to the tombstone.

"It looks like a church, doesn't it?"

Facing the familiar scene in front of him, Bai Chen shrugged like he was used to it and said:

"The design of the Tower of Heaven is indeed different from the cemetery designed for Pokémon in other regions. Although I don't know the name of the person who designed the Tower of Heaven, it is said that when he designed it, he tried his best to make it The Tower of Heaven is built like a church, and it is said that Pokémon can sleep peacefully in the church environment."

Bai Chen felt a little emotional, walked to the fork in front of him, or stood directly below the spire of the Tower of Heaven, pointed to it and continued to introduce:

"The light cast from the top of the tower includes natural light and man-made light. This is also a little idea he decided to design in order to make the Tower of Paradise radiate light all year round."

"Is this a small idea..."

Although she complained like this, it has to be said that in the short few days in the Hezhong area, Ma Li was probably more surprised than she was in the Sinnoh area combined.

Full of innovative ideas, this has become one of Mary's intuitive feelings about the Hezhong area.

Whether it's Beat Battle, Arti's Gym or the Tower of Heaven, what Marie has come into contact with recently is something she has never imagined, especially the shock brought to her by the Tower of Heaven.

Abandoning the traditional gloomy and dead atmosphere of the Pokémon cemetery, and instead designing such a spacious and bright place, Mary also has to feel the designer's thoughts here.

When he thought of this idea at the beginning, what appeared in his mind was Pokémon?Or is it an obsession with oneself and art?

Mary can't guess the designer's mind, but for her, or for the trainers from all over the world, and the Pokmon who rest here, this design should be the best, right?

"It's really not a small design." Bai Chen felt amused and smiled. "After all, his design has been criticized all the time, saying it was to create an illusion."

"Illusion?" Mary was a little puzzled now.

"Isn't it?" Bai Chen glanced at the people who were peacefully paying homage to their lost Pokémon, and asked, "If it's in this environment, do you think the dead Pokmon will feel at ease?" Or is it pain? Although they can’t answer it~”

"?"

Bai Chen's question made Ma Li fall into complete silence.

In this way, here seems to be the boundary between life and death...

"Can't you feel it? You can't feel the pain and sorrow that are common in ordinary cemeteries here..."

Bai Chen sneered, and Ma Li didn't understand until now that Bai Chen's attitude towards the Tower of Heaven seems to be...

"You, do you hate this place?"

Mary, asked.

......

396 The Truth About the Tower of Heaven

"Do you hate this place?" Hearing this, Bai Chen sneered, and replied without hesitation: "Of course I hate it, because this place lacks a warning function, and setting up the place where life and death meet like this seems to be anesthetizing people. normal nerves."

Bright holy light sprinkled in every corner, and there was no darkness inside the tower of heaven.

"If it is a Pokmon that lives normally and then passes away, this is of course their best destination, but what about those Pokmon that died unexpectedly?"

Bai Chen's expression became silent.

"Is this place good for them? You know, a large part of the reason why the Tower of Heaven is not open at night is to take care of the ghost Pokmon living here, but the reason why there are The ghost-type Pokémon live because they have accumulated a lot of grievances in this place."

"resentment?"

"Well, if you change it to a more easy-to-understand... Negative emotions, you should be able to understand this? Although ghost-type Pokémon can also eat Pokémon food normally, if it's just for survival, as long as they eat humans Or the negative emotions generated by other Pokémon will be fine."

"...Then how many ghost-type Pokémon live here?"

"Who knows~" Bai Chen shrugged slightly bored. "In such a big place, there are at least a hundred of them."

"..."

Ma Li, who was still feeling the holy scene inside the Tower of Heaven just a second ago, suddenly became silent after hearing Bai Chen's words.

The outside is beautiful and bright, but it is full of resentment that cannot be swept away.

This is the true face of the Tower of Heaven.
