I, the Pokémon Master, now resign

"I hope you can hold on, don't be completely crushed, hehe..."

After finishing speaking, Sakagi's figure began to gradually disappear in this cold street, and this whisper gradually drifted into the distance with the breeze.

......

429 The trip to Shinmori, the transaction in the dark room

"This... this... and this, take them all..."

On the rest day, in a certain supermarket in Random Town, Bai Chen is purchasing necessary supplies for his future life in the forest.

"Hmm... BBQ grill... It's really good, the feeling of stewing soup while grilling meat... Hiss... It's really hard to refuse!"

Bai Chen was still hesitating a second ago, but after that, whether the food in the forest should be mainly grilled food or stewed vegetables, finally he was no longer confused, and made an adult choice——

"It doesn't matter! Anyway, take them with you!"

After making such a decision, Bai Chen threw the bag of charcoal in front of him and the grilling net on the other side into the shopping cart.

It is better to eat better in the wild. The waiting time of more than one month to two months, if even the most basic food cannot be guaranteed, then this period of time will be pure suffering for him.

But then again, even if he is so fully prepared, there may still be situations where he will not be able to eat in the wild. After all, there are too many points on the map, and the area of ​​​​the forest is too large.

Besides, it is not an easy task to check the points. Even if Bai Chen and Ma Li have already searched the first ten or twenty points, it does not mean that Celebi will not appear in the searched points. out of place.

The worst-case scenario is that just an hour or two after they searched the previous points, Celebi appeared at the point that had already been searched.

Therefore, in the case of limited human resources, he couldn't have multiple people guarding different areas, which led to the possibility that he and Mary would travel the entire forest back and forth during those one or two months. Turn around dozens of times.

Think of it as a physical activity.

Moreover, the old couple has not contacted him so far. Even if the commission is really completed, Bai Chen doesn't know how to deal with it. No travel expenses.

Even though the old lady had said at the time that she would send the reward after the commission was completed, Bai Chen still had no idea.In other words, from the moment he accepted the entrustment, he never expected the so-called reward at all. He would accept this kind of entrustment only because of the unspeakable secrets of the two old people.

"But it's closing again..."

Think about my own coffee shop. In recent months, the business hours seem to be only a little over a month. Although the people in the town know what's going on, it seems that such a slack business method does not satisfy the outside customers. .

At least when Bai Chen was shopping in the commercial street, he had heard tourists from outside mentioning this matter several times.

shouldn't be...

Bai Chen shook his head secretly. This way of opening a store is obviously not advisable, but there is no way around it. Who made the business policy that he made in the first place to be a house of all things > a coffee shop?

Now it is only natural to temporarily abandon the business of the coffee shop because of the entrustment of Master House, right?

not to mention......

"Two months? It's almost time..."

The thoughts in his heart are about to clear up now, although he doesn't hate life in Random Town, but... not only for himself, for his Pokémon, but also for Kamizlei and those who support him .

He is about to embark on a journey again, to create another encounter with the unknown.

But this time the trip will not be as rushed as it was back then, and now he has nothing to miss, so he can naturally slow down a little and enjoy the scenery along the way.

But before that, he wanted to help Mary reach the limit that she could reach so far. This nearly two-month trip to the forest really helped him in a sense, but the process was relatively short. It's just twists and turns.

"Oh... what a hassle..."

Bai Chen sighed again, and then continued to pick out the things to take to the forest.

Compared to when I retreated in the forest before, this time it should be a little more lively anyway, right?

......

At some point, on the other side, in a dark room.

"The deposit has been given to you. You should understand the goods I want, right? This is very important to me."

In the dark space, an impatient voice came from the small phone.

"Of course I know. You don't need to say more about this. Now that I have accepted this commission, I will naturally complete it as required."

The person holding the phone was a haggard woman. The voice on the other side of the phone was very impolite, but even so, she didn't get angry, because the other party was her big client, and she had already lost everything. This golden opportunity wasted.

"Oh, let's take it that way."

Although he got this promise, the man on the other end of the phone still seemed to be hesitant to snort.

"Hunter J, originally I didn't intend to give you this bounty. After all, you should also know that after losing your organization, you can only be ranked in the middle and lower positions in the entire hunter list! If it weren't for the violent Feilong, and for the sake of our previous friendship, want to gain my trust? Hehe."

The woman named Hunter J was naturally the one who escaped from Bai Chen's grasp a few months ago.

Lost all other Pokémon, lost advanced equipment and technology, lost those subordinates...

When she fled, all she had left was a Tyrannosaurus and the client list.

Hunter J originally thought that relying on the contacts on the list and receiving a few more difficult commissions, she would be able to quickly make a comeback.

But who would have thought?

The news that the hunter organization that I worked so hard to cultivate was wiped out by the alliance spread all over the streets and alleys in just one day, and my own characteristics were also announced on the bulletin board at the entrance of the police station along with the reward.

Those customers chose to stay away after learning of their downfall, not to mention the big reward entrustment, it is difficult for her to receive even a low-level entrustment. In the past few months, she has relied on a few The income of a few microblogs is living frugally.

When did she expect that she would be reduced to this point?My current situation is even worse than when I first entered the industry. At that time, after all, I could use the relatively low fees of newcomers in exchange for more commissions, but now...

Blame that guy...

Every time I think of the face of the person who led the team to destroy her organization, Hunter J will be filled with anger, but no matter how angry she is, she understands one thing——

That person is more dangerous than the champion, and he must not be encountered.

Revenge must be established when there is not much difference in strength between the two sides. When facing such an opponent, choose revenge?That is nothing more than incompetent rage, what the real strong need is perseverance.

"Yes, I know."

Must be patient, Hunter J once again put on a humble attitude.

This entrustment is related to her future reputation, related to her career, and inseparable from her ambition.

Therefore, while forbearing, she must also make her own request.

"You also know my current state. Even if I can do it for days and nights without rest, if I want to find and capture Celebi in the first place, it may be difficult for me alone."

"Are you negotiating terms with me?"

The voice on the other end of the phone became cold as expected.

But Hunter J, who is also an old fritter, of course understands how to please the other party in this situation.

"It's not about conditions, it's just a request. If you agree, I'm willing to reduce the fee by 1/3 this time, and if you entrust me again in the future, I can help you with the lowest price."

Although money is very important, for Hunter J, there is something more important than money at present, and that is reputation.

For people like them who earn money by accepting commissions, a good reputation is the most important thing. With a big enough reputation, commissions and money will naturally gather in a steady stream.

Of course, when negotiating, she will not put her urgent demands on the table, but will continue to put forward opinions that satisfy the other party.

"Oh? Looks like you haven't been made stupid by one blow."

After listening to Hunter J's proposal, the voice on the other end of the phone became obviously more emotional than before.

Obviously, Hunter J's proposal is in his interest.

"If that's the case, I'll just listen to it and hope your request is as satisfactory as your proposal."

"Don't worry, this is not a difficult task for you, it's even just a little effort."

Hunter J stood up from the bed, walked to the window, overlooking the street view below, and the confidence in her eyes also continued to multiply.

......

The huge forest in the southeast of the Sinnoh continent.

Because of its special location, it has not been effectively developed. In other words, neither the alliance authorities nor the people living around the forest want the forest to be destroyed.

Perhaps it is because of the protection of this unknown mystery in the land of myth, or simply because of the need to protect the environment and the diversity of Pokémon, or because this forest is a holy place that Celebi loves?

No matter what the reason behind this is, it cannot change the image of this forest in the hearts of people in the Sinnoh region.

Perhaps out of reverence for the unknown, this forest has never had an official name. Under the background that forests of all sizes have their own names and taboos, it seems so out of place.

In the beginning, many people proposed to give it a name in the form of the place name plus "forest", but because of the wide range of this forest, it has not been easy to use any area to name it.

However, some small towns and villages stationed around the forest have given it a convenient name, and its name is Xinsen.

"Awesome..."

Walking on the rugged path in the forest, there are extended tree roots and vines everywhere at the foot, because it has not been developed, and the time it takes to cross the forest itself is much higher than that of ordinary roads, so No trace of human beings can be found in the entire forest.

Without people, there is no road.

But even on such a road, Mary still maintained an optimistic attitude and expressed her admiration for this forest.

"I said, are you a little too excited..."

Bai Chen found a relatively thick tree and stopped, leaned on the trunk to rest for a while, and asked by the way:

"Or do you really like being in the forest?"

Maybe it's because she's been with her for a long time now. Mary doesn't hide her emotions in front of her now, and all her emotions are displayed on her face. Now she has completely lost the dead spirit she had at the beginning.

"Well...not because I like it here."

After hearing Bai Chen's question, Ma Li tilted her head, thought for a while and replied:

"It's just a little moved after seeing the Pokémon living here..."

"move?"

Looking in the direction Mary pointed, I saw many small Pokémon hiding in the surrounding bushes and trees, looking at them with timid but curious eyes.

Ma Li and Bai Chen are very unfamiliar with the situation here, and for the wild Pokémon living here, the appearance of human beings is also a strange and strange thing.

It was almost an hour away from the entrance of the forest, and the current position of the two of them was almost a position where not many people would arrive.

After all, the closer you are to the center of the forest, the more dangerous it is. Most people know this. Even children who are full of curiosity and desire to explore will only wander around the entrance.

As for Pokémon trainers, this place can indeed be called their paradise in a sense, but this paradise is too far away from the city. Will come to this lonely forest.

In places where there are no people for a long time, the growth of Pokémon will naturally be better.

Bai Chen took a look, whether it was Yuan Mage and Mimosa hiding in the bushes; or the weeds hanging on the branches; or the Mukels standing high on the branches and looking down at them... ..

Their size is generally larger than the wild Pokémon seen in other places, and they are more confident and energetic.

Is that why you say moved?

Bai Chen shrugged his shoulders amusedly, as expected, he was a trainer who hadn't been out much, and would feel excited when encountering such a slightly novel thing.

However, be excited, so be excited, anyway, it's just this moment, in the next one or two months, Ma Li won't be so happy~ If she can still be excited by then, then Bai Chen might really admire her .

......

430 Looking for Celebi, the people who set out on both sides

"Here is the first point."

Although laughing and chatting along the way, Bai Chen did not forget what he came here for.

After feeling that it was almost the same, he took out the map in his backpack, found the position marked 1 on the map, and said so.

"Have you ever paid attention to the orientation?!"

I thought that Bai Chen was just walking around casually, and then stopped to observe his position on the map, but he didn't expect that Bai Chen had been doing these things before entering the forest.

"Can't go wrong?"

Ma Li stepped forward, poked her head out from Bai Chen's side, looked at the map in Bai Chen's hand, and asked worriedly.

"Of course it's fine."

Although the distance between the two seems to be too close to the ground, neither Bai Chen nor Ma Li noticed this situation at the first time, and their attention was all on the map at the moment.

While speaking so confidently, Bai Chen opened the folded right half of the map and showed it to Ma Li.

"This is..." Mary didn't realize what was written on it, but just read it: "Entrance, walk straight in for 10 minutes, go west at the first intersection, then... ...."

Mary stopped after reading this, and had no intention of continuing to read, not because of anything else, but because she felt that it was too sad to continue reading like this.

After holding back for a long time, Mary finally uttered such a sentence.

"Mr. Sakagi, I know you very well..."

"I think your words are full of malice."
