I, the Pokémon Master, now resign

At this point, Darkley finally no longer had the calmness he had just now. He quickly turned his head and looked at Bai Chen with unbelievable eyes. His eyes were trembling, wanting to know the content of the letter.

"Ah."

Bai Chen pondered for a while, and didn't continue to hang on to Darkley's appetite, but slowly opened the letter under its gaze, and read softly:

"Dazhi, although I know you probably don't want to read this letter, but if you have read this far, I still hope you can read it..."

Yokoyama Taishi, this seems to be the name of the offspring of Mr. Yokoyama.

"I like to be a bad person all my life. Until I can't walk anymore, I like to call myself Anonymous after helping others. You know that."

"Although people who help others should not be able to, and they should not have any psychological pressure, but I have always been worried about a certain guy..."

"You know that, too? I meet him once a year. You used to go to see him with me at my insistence, but you have been unwilling to go with me since then."

"I know, you are afraid of it, afraid of its power... because it has the power that seems to destroy everything, so you dare not approach it, and I understand...but let me ask, what did it do wrong? Is it a bad thing? Just because it makes people around have nightmares? But it has never been close to the village. In that mountain, no one will be affected by it, and this is not its original intention. And why are you so afraid of it?"

"It's clearly a suicide note, but it said so many things that have nothing to do with you. As a father, I am also sorry... But please believe me, although it has a lot of power, it will definitely not hurt you. It won't hurt the villagers... It's lonely, I know it, and you must know it, so after I'm gone, please be sure to accept it from your heart, at least on that night every year, Please talk to it... but I also know that this is only a stopgap measure after all."

"It doesn't suit this village, it doesn't suit you, and it doesn't suit me... We are all ordinary people who have lived in this hill all our lives. Maybe our hometown will change in the future, but by then I'm sure It is gone, but no matter how our hometown changes, as ordinary people, we will not have the tolerance to accept it..."

"Perhaps this will be very troublesome, because its existence is a secret, and its power cannot be simply exposed to others, otherwise it will definitely attract the coveted eyes of illegal elements, so I hope that you can serve it with the eyes of an ordinary person." Find a way out. It can be a place where you can live in peace, or it can be a road full of hard work to become stronger. Although it is not it, I can probably guess its thoughts... because it is lonely, it is A shadow eager to prove its existence by fighting, so it must not be content with living an ordinary life."

"Although I'm not it, it's a bit self-righteous to find a so-called way out for it, but... no matter which way it goes, it's better than coming here with more and more slim hopes every year, after all We will leave eventually, and the number of times we meet in a lifetime is only dozens of times. Rather than this, I hope that it can use its own power to become someone's companion, and walk on the road of enrichment and strength every day. If I come, my last wish will be fulfilled."

"However, after all, I am not you, I will respect your choice, but judging from the awkward gentleness in your character, if no one tells you these things, things may end up being more troublesome, haha !"

"Hey, it's time to end after talking so much. I don't know how long my body can last...Why haven't I tried what I told you? It's just that I failed in the end. Really, I have no intention of dying yet, but my body is really not strong enough, so I can only entrust these troublesome things to you, I really hope you can read this letter, no As for keeping all the troubles in your heart~ Who told you not to listen to what the living told you? Right? My awkward child..."

The content of the letter ends here, and the end of the letter is not famous, because in his eyes, if it is not for his children to read this letter, it would be meaningless.

How did Bai Chen feel when he read this letter?

Was he moved by the kindness of Mr. Hengshan?

Or is it a pity that Mr. Hengshan's meaning was not conveyed to his child's heart until the end?

Thinking about it carefully, it doesn't seem to be true. What Bai Chen has is not these emotions that ordinary people can feel, but a strange and deep sadness.

He is mourning for Mr. Hengshan, for Mr. Hengshan's descendants, for Darkley, and for the villagers here......

He grieves for them, because both generations of father and son obviously have a kind heart and hope to save Darkley, but because of their natural personality problems, they can't reach an agreement on this issue, and even in the end they can only pass this kind of suicide note form to communicate.

It hasn't even been communicated yet.

He mourns Darkrai, because it could have had a better past, but because of language problems and apologies to Mr. Hengshan's descendants, he has been comfortable here for so many years, so that tragedies continue to be staged.

In the whole incident, far more than they were injured, the more innocent ones were the villagers who were involved in the whole incident.

Although no one had any malice in this matter, it was precisely this unintentional behavior that destroyed this supposedly peaceful village.The mountains were hollowed out, people went away one after another, and the old people who stayed were accompanied by nightmares every day, thinking that the predecessors had done something unreasonable, and turned their work and rest upside down all day long, just to wake up from the nightmare. What can be seen is a bright sky.

Obviously no one has done anything wrong, and what everyone has in their hearts is simple kindness.

Mr. Yokoyama is eager to save the lonely Darkrai.

Yokoyama Taishi hoped that Darkley would not feel guilty for his father's death, and also did not want Darkley to be expelled by the villagers.

These are all tragedies, tragedies caused by good intentions, and tragedies caused by communication problems.

Despite the lack of concern for people from champions everywhere, Bai Chen also does not want to see such tragedies happen again, nor does he want to see such tragedies continue.

"The suicide note left by Mr. Yokoyama, although it was not opened until now because of Mr. Taishi's wrong guess, but..."

Saying so, Bai Chen magnified the dark ball, held it in his hand, and moved it in front of Darkley.

"I intend to respect your choice now, and I also intend to respect Mr. Hengshan's last wish. Although I have won, I still intend to put the right of choice in your hands."

"..."

Looking at the Pokémon ball in Bai Chen's hands, Darkley fell into deep thought.

After listening to the contents of the letter, Darkley didn't know how to describe his mood. Is it sad and sad?Or deep regret?

It never thought that until the end of his life, he still cared about himself and worried about his future problems. He thought that he entrusted his offspring to himself so that he could give him some help in terms of strength, but he couldn't think of it in the end This is just an excuse.

He was just worried that after his death, he would not be able to find a friend to communicate with...

An indescribable emotion is brewing in its heart, presumably it should be the sadness in the mouth of human beings.

However, it is not a human being, nor is it an ordinary Pokémon. It cannot cry and cannot show its clarity.

Its expression seemed to be dead, not under its control, as if a proud knight would never show his weak side to others.

Although it can't cry, it also knows what to do at this time.

Just as he had never said these things and displayed them in front of himself, so it would not show its sentimentality here, in the place where he sleeps.

There is only one thing it wants to do at this time.

"Dar!"

Darkley let his eyes meet Bai Chen's, and a firm tone spewed out from his throat.

"Then, please give me more advice, the road ahead may be extremely difficult~ After all, I may have something I want to do."

Bai Chen smiled back and vaccinated it, but the warlike Darkley obviously wouldn't be afraid of this, it just responded with its firm eyes, glanced at Bai Chen lightly, and then stretched out its hand Catch the baby ball in Bai Chen's hand.

"Crack~!"

The dark green baby ball was opened, Darkley turned into a light red light and was taken in. Without any struggle, the baby ball was tightly closed and lay in Bai Chen's palm.

In this way, it's over, right?I don't know if you accept this ending?Mr. Yokoyama?

After subduing Darkley, Bai Chen's eyes drifted unconsciously to the low tunnel, and at the same time, he had such unanswerable questions in his heart.

......

424 Leaving, a letter to Tokiwa City

The evening wind blew, and the cold moonlight shone in the valley, caressing the bodies of Bai Chen and Ma Li.

"Then, let's go back."

Bai Chen quietly put this special Pokémon ball into his pocket, got up and prepared to go back to catch up on sleep. After all, whether the dark ball can suppress Darkley's power, Bai Chen still needs to experiment. OK.

"That... Teacher Bai Chen?"

"Ok?"

Hearing Ma Li's weak cry, Bai Chen looked at her curiously.

"What's the matter? The task is over, why do you still look like you can't cheer up?"

At this time, Ma Li was lowering her head, and from time to time she would secretly raise her gaze to peek at Bai Chen's appearance, which made Bai Chen a little puzzled.

"Well... that... didn't you bring six Pokémon?"

"Well, that's right." Bai Chen still didn't quite understand Ma Li's meaning until she said the next sentence.

"If this is the case, why is Darkrai's Pokmon Ball still..."

Ma Li pointed to Bai Chen's pocket and asked.

"Oh? This..." Bai Chen finally understood what she meant. "Didn't I say that the source of this dark ball is rather special? It is not under the official control of the league. If you use this kind of Pokmon ball, it will not limit the number of Pokmon you can carry."

Because as long as it is an officially registered trainer, it will be required to carry only six Pokmon with it, and Mary is surprised that the Pokmon ball has not been sent back after she subdued Darkrai. .

"...There is indeed a problem...Mr. Bai Chen, do you really not need to surrender yourself?"

"So why do you think I stole this from the Alliance!?"

Bai Chen replied speechlessly, but seeing that Ma Li began to look suspicious again, he didn't bother to continue explaining, after all, it would be too troublesome to explain.

......

In the early morning of the next day, the sunlight flashed through the curtains that hadn't been fully drawn, and projected on Bai Chen's face, his brows were slightly frowned, Bai Chen yawned, and then slowly got up.

"Is it morning..."

His hair was a little heavy, but Bai Chen's memory was still very clear.

Yesterday, he completed the commission, successfully subdued Darkley, and then came back with Mary to catch up on sleep. It should have been a night by now.

But this is not the most important point, the real important point is that...

"No, nightmare..."

Bai Chen spread out his hands, glanced at it with a hazy gaze, and then muttered to himself in a somewhat dull manner.

"Is it really useful..."

After personally confirming that the dark ball has indeed suppressed Darkley's power, Bai Chen's half-suspended heart can finally be relieved.

At least this time, the commission was successfully completed no matter what, and he didn't have to worry about the consequences of subduing Darkley.

"Hey~ I owe that guy a favor~ Although I haven't told him, I just stole the baby ball myself."

Bai Chen smiled to himself, then got up and put on his clothes. Since the commission here has been confirmed to be over, it's time for the assignment.

Bai Chen opened the door with a relaxed mood, and when he was about to wash up, suddenly there was a rush of footsteps from outside the door, followed by a rough door opening.

"Bai Chen! Is Mr. Bai Chen here?!"

It just so happened that Bai Chen planned to find him by himself, but unexpectedly he came here by himself.

Dafeng Youhui, the village head of this small village, was panting at the door with a hasty expression, his eyes unconsciously fell on Bai Chen who was sizing him up, and then hurriedly leaned in again Come up, still muttering incessantly:

"Bai, Bai, Bai...Mr. Bai Chen! I didn't! I didn't have a nightmare! I didn't even have a nightmare last night!? I..."

Dafeng Youhui's tone was flustered, but Bai Chen still understood what he meant, so he showed him a relieved smile.

"I know, I didn't have a nightmare, right? That's fine, not just last night, from now on, there will be no more large-scale nightmares in this village."

"Really, really?"

"Of course, if you have any more questions, you are welcome to come to Shuran Town at any time, or come to me by letter."

Bai Chen promised so.

"Is that so..."

The middle-aged man, after learning that the curse that had plagued him and their village for so many years was finally resolved, two lines of hot tears had climbed his cheeks at some point.

Are you moved?Of course, after the curse of the nightmare disappeared, the village regained hope, and the villagers living here must also rekindle their longing for life, right?

There is no need to reverse day and night, no need to pray devoutly to unknown gods every day, and no need to repent to the mountain every day......

no need.

Never again.

Tears kept pouring out like a flood breaking an embankment, Dafeng Youhui didn't have to continue to maintain the demeanor of the so-called village head in front of Bai Chen, and began to cry wantonly.

While crying, he held Bai Chen's hands tightly, and his words were full of gratitude.

"Really, thank you so much! If it weren't for you, our village, our village...cough cough..."

Severe coughing was mixed in between the words.

His gratitude to Bai Chen was definitely not just expressed verbally, but he was sincerely thanking him from the bottom of his heart.

If it weren't for him, Dafeng Youhui seemed to have been able to see the ending——

The old man in the village, when he had his last breath, closed his eyes, and what echoed in his mind was not the faces of his family and villagers, but the terrible scene in his nightmare.

Crying and despair, the scene of crying out at the last moment of life, must not be an ending that people can accept calmly.

As the old people in the village went away one by one, in the end, only I was left alone, guarding the gate of the village, trembling constantly, praying that the night would not come.

Once upon a time, he had given up and was ready to accept such an ending, but Bai Chen's arrival broke such a tragic fate for him. No amount of money should be able to repay this kindness.

"It's just a small problem...but...Although I understand your feelings, can I trouble you to calm down..."

It was with great difficulty that Bai Chen pushed the crying middle-aged man aside, after all, if this continues, there will be no end, not to mention...

"Huh? Well...why is there crying...? Uh...Mr. Dafeng, why are you here?"

When Dafeng Youhui was crying heartily, Ma Li was obviously woken up.

"It's nothing, it's just a errand." Bai Chen responded feebly, and then said: "Hurry up and get ready, we'll be leaving later."

"Huh? But...the villagers still..."

Before Ma Li could react, Dafeng Youhui said anxiously first.

"Please spare me... You alone are enough. If you add dozens of other people, I'm afraid that this place will be flooded with tears tonight..."

Bai Chen, who was never good at dealing with lively situations, declined so politely.
