I, the Pokémon Master, now resign

Perhaps it was because she was thinking too much that she lost sleep on such an important night.

In short, Mary is completely out of shape now.

Although she was not in the state, Bai Chen had already woken up and was making breakfast, so it was not a problem for her to stay in the tent, so she took out the small mirror she carried with her, and after arranging her hair briefly, she walked out tent.

Susu~~

"Huh? Are you awake?"

In front was the sound of meat being fried, and in front was the sound of wild Pokmon headed by monkey monsters shouting. Despite being in such a noisy environment, Bai Chen still heard the sound of footsteps coming from behind.

Susu~~

"Huh? Are you awake?" Bai Chen turned his head away, and was about to say good morning to Ma Li, but what he saw when he turned his head was not Ma Li's smile, but a haggard face.

"You...are you not asleep?"

Bai Chen thumped mentally, as if he had thought of something, so he asked with an embarrassed smile pretending to be concerned.

"Isn't it... insomnia?"

It is natural for him to feel nervous now. When he explained the monkey monster yesterday, he was sure that Mary was still sleeping, so he kept it from her.Assuming that Mary hadn't fallen asleep at that time, even though his voice was low enough when he spoke, he still couldn't guarantee whether Mary really didn't hear what he said.

"Well...a little..."

Ma Li, who was not yet fully awake, responded in a daze. Although Ma Li had no other intentions in her words, it was a little different to Bai Chen's ears.

He is now trying to think about the reason for Mary's insomnia, and he is also guessing when is the time of Mary's insomnia?Did she never fall asleep from the beginning to the end, or did she wake up with a start after she went back to sleep, and she had insomnia since then.

"Yes...is it..." Bai Chen tried his best to squeeze a smile out of himself, and then asked a little unconfidently: "This, is this so... Eh~ Obviously because I can't sleep And when you went out for a walk, you seemed to be still asleep, so it wasn't the sound of my walking that woke you up?"

Here, Bai Chen first played the blur card, hoping to indirectly judge whether Ma Li heard the conversation between himself and the monkey monster.

"?"

Ma Li, who was in a daze, was just about to answer, but she reacted in the next second.

——This is a trap!

That's right, it seems that Bai Chen's words are just a simple self-blame, but if Ma Li really answered truthfully, it is actually equivalent to telling Bai Chen that she heard his conversation. Thinking of this, Ma Li was still a little hazy. The sleepiness also dissipated a lot.

"Walking? Are you insomnia too? But aren't you used to this kind of environment, won't you be nervous?"

"Huh? Well...not nervous, just want to relax a bit, so..."

Although the words have not been finished yet, Bai Chen's attitude has clearly expressed the intention of asking questions. When Ma Li heard this, she simply tilted her head, her eyes flickered with confusion, as if she was recalling the scene at that time In general, says:

"Well... I don't remember either, it should be... isn't it? So it's insomnia, it's better to say that I was in a state of half-asleep and half-awake at the time, feeling as if I fell asleep, but my body kept turning .”

"Is that so..."

Ma Li is not good at lying, so Bai Chen didn't doubt it after seeing her appearance at this time, but just relaxed a little.

At the same time, Ma Li, who was standing opposite Bai Chen, let go of the left hand that was holding her arm behind her back.It's spring now, and he's wearing long sleeves, otherwise Bai Chen would definitely notice a red mark on Ma Li's right arm in the future.

"Let's not talk about that first."

After thinking about it, Ma Li always felt that she was at a loss, and secretly rubbed the painful part. She pretended to glance at the food that Bai Chen was cooking, and asked curiously:

"I'm curious, Teacher Bai Chen, why did you cook such a rich breakfast today?"

"..."

Bai Chen took a look at the meal being cooked in the pot without a doubt——

In the pot is the mushroom soup that is being stewed. On the other side of the pan, bacon and ham have been prepared, as well as golden and crispy toast.

In addition, there is even a platter of lettuce and berries. The berries presented by the monkey monsters yesterday have all been presented on the table. The fruits and vegetables are mixed together, and the top is dotted with sweet salad dressing. They all work together to form a perfect salad.

The wild Pokémon standing on the other side stared at the food on the table, because they knew they had their own portion in it.

If it wasn't for the "game" just now, Bai Chen would definitely use a simple reason to make a fool of himself, but right now he seems to have noticed something, and his body began to become a little stiff.

Does she know...

Mary's questions were not like everyday questions, and certainly his behavior was not like everyday behavior.

The atmosphere became a little strange, Bai Chen still chose to answer after the silence:

"Because, aren't we going to act separately afterwards? So wouldn't it be better to just eat the food here?"

"yes......"

At this time, Ma Li has an absolute advantage. Although this expression is a bit risky, Ma Li still wants to see how Bai Chen will react in this situation, so she asked again:

"So, what happened to the Monkey Monster? Why does it look so miserable? Did it go through some kind of battle?"

"..."

In other words... I let Dharma Baboon fight it just now, Bai Chen originally wanted to tidy it up after Monkey Monster and Dharma Baboon came back from the forest, after all, even if you want to use your toes, you will know How badly the monkey monster will be taught, even if he taught it a lot of things, it is impossible for it to remain intact in front of the Dharma baboon.

It's just that he came back to prepare breakfast first, so he forgot about it. If Mary hadn't reminded him, Bai Chen wouldn't even notice the dirty look of the monkey monster.

"Mann!"

Bai Chen was not in a hurry yet, but the monkey monster on the other side became anxious first. It jumped between Bai Chen and Ma Li, and began to shake its arms in a panic, not knowing what to explain.

But if it is explained in this way, things will definitely only get darker and darker as it is explained.

Thinking of this, Bai Chen didn't hesitate. He bent down and grabbed the monkey monster, then threw it to the rear. The wild Pokmon watching the show over there understood Bai Chen's meaning and picked up the monkey monster. Once settled, they backed away.

This is no longer a place for them to stay.

"Monkey monster... It seems to be very envious of my strength, so it came to ask me for advice, so I let the Bodhidharma baboon fight it, so it became like this."

Judging from the results, it is true that Bai Chen did not lie, but he just omitted the most critical steps. Only half true and false information like this will make his words more credible.

"is it?"

Ma Li continued to tilt her head, looking puzzled, but in the next second she left alone to wash up, and she seemed to believe Bai Chen's words.

Seeing that the crisis he was facing was resolved, Bai Chen lowered his body helplessly, and kept sighing in his heart.

I didn't expect... just such a simple thing would be so tiring... In other words, I am obviously doing good deeds, why do I have to feel guilty?

Although he really didn't want to continue to hide it, whenever Bai Chen thought of Ma Li's expression last night, he would keep telling himself to persevere, for her growth, this was something that had to be done.

But, I'm really tired...

......

Just when Bai Chen was downcast, Ma Li, who had already run to the back of the camp, was holding a pot of water to wash up, with a smug smile on her face.

Although Bai Chen was trying his best to restrain his expression, Ma Li could still see the fluctuation in Bai Chen's heart.

Think of it as hiding my return gift~

Mary thought so.

However, for some reason, when she saw Bai Chen's tangled expression, Ma Li felt a faint sense of joy in her heart.

What does it feel like?

Mary was a little puzzled, but even so, she didn't delve into it. She always felt that if she continued to follow this feeling, her personality would become strange.

In this way, Ma Li and Bai Chen spent a not-so-relaxed breakfast time with their own concerns.

......

After breakfast, under the signal of Bai Chen's eyes, the monkey monster took its younger brothers and left first. After putting away the tent and tableware, Bai Chen took out the map and began to explain:

"Today, I will start surveying at point 2. I will search for points 8-9 on the east and south sides, and I will leave points 13-[-] on the innermost circle of the north and west to you."

Bai Chen circled the map, regarded point No. [-] as the center, and connected the surrounding points to form the innermost circle. He pointed to the marked points on the circle and said to Mary:

"The No. 8 spot I arrived at last will be far away, and starting tomorrow I will go directly to a deeper area to investigate, so I may not come back today. If you finish earlier, you can come back today and continue to use here. Open space, this will save the Pokmon's physical strength to do such troublesome things."

The troublesome thing Bai Chen refers to is naturally clearing out an open space enough to set up tents and bonfires. Although this matter is nothing more than a matter of Ye Baofeng to Monarch Snake, but to Ma Li, it is a matter of finishing This project may take more than half an hour, so Bai Chen proposed this.

"I see."

After being told about her job, Mary became emotional and became more formal.Although she knew that Bai Chen let the monkey monster follow her because she was worried, but after all, the monkey monster could not be used as her combat power, so most of the work was done by herself. It naturally appeared in her heart.

At least, this time she wasn't pulling Bai Chen's hind legs as a drag.

"So, what about after? Will there be reconciliation in the future?"

After briefly looking at the area she wanted to survey on the map, Mary suddenly thought of this, so she asked.

"Of course, information exchange is also very important." Bai Chen waved his hand and said as a matter of course: "Anyway, the scope of a day's survey is about so much. Go through all the points, if there is any special place, record it, and come back here after completing the survey of all points.”

"Hmm... that is to say... Is it a reconciliation cycle every time you walk through half of the forest?"

"Well, that's it. After all, no one can be sure when and where Celebi will appear, so I can only use this most stupid method."

Bai Chen also sighed helplessly. If he hadn't resigned now, it wouldn't be too difficult to use some special means to find Celebi, but there was no if...

"In addition, if the supplies are used up, go to the surrounding towns to replenish them. Although this will prolong the time of going back and forth each time, you must not be brave. You really live on dry food and tree fruits!"

Before leaving, Bai Chen didn't forget to say this.

"I know, even if it's just to take a bath, I won't stay in the forest for too long, I will go out regularly."

After Mary finished speaking, she took the map into her arms first, picked up her backpack, and left towards the north.

"Then I'll take a step first, and see you later."

"Ah...um...see you later..."

Looking at the back of Ma Li leaving, Bai Chen responded in such a low voice, always feeling a little lost.

......

435 The First Time Is Always Accompanied by Danger and Trouble

"Here, isn't there either..."

According to the mark on the map, the No. 4 mark is located under Bai Chen's feet, but after carefully checking the surrounding vegetation, Bai Chen still sighed resentfully.

According to the data, Celebi appeared within these two months. In the case of only being able to determine the timeline of the other party's appearance, the statement within two months is actually very ambiguous——

Within two months, including today and tomorrow.

Bai Chen's character likes to compromise, so in his explanation to Ma Li, he said that they will stay in the forest for at least a month, but within this month, Celebi will probably show up a few days ago, and maybe It may have been more than a month and it hasn't shown up.

Although there is no time limit, Bai Chen naturally hopes that this commission can be completed as soon as possible.

But the reality is that the more anxious you are, the less what you expect to see will not come first.

"Have you noticed any strange phenomena over there?"

Bai Chen leaned against the tree trunk and asked weakly to the two shadows that appeared in front of him.

"..."

After Bai Chen finished asking these words, Darkley and Crystal Lantern Fire Spirit appeared one after another from two dark shadows.

In the process of searching for Celebi, of course, Bai Chen did not rely on his own strength, but chose to let Darkley, who can move quickly in such a complicated environment, and the crystal lantern fire spirit to help.

"Dar..."

The crystal lantern fire spirit remained silent, while Darkley just shook his head calmly, neither of them noticed anything unusual around them.

"yes......."

Although he knew that the search depended on patience and carefulness, but in such a purposeless situation, Bai Chen still seemed a little anxious.

As if realizing that his current situation was not normal, Bai Chen patted his face and forcibly pulled himself together.

"There is no other way if there are no clues. I can only move on. If I really found the whereabouts of the target now, I would feel a little strange."

Bai Chen shrugged, and didn't continue to dwell on this issue.

"Then it's time to go to the next few points. You are still the same as before, explore the road around the point first, and if there is a wild Pokémon that is more difficult to speak, you can 'communicate' with it a little bit."

Darkley and Crystal Lantern Fire Spirit nodded again, and then continued to dive into the ground, leaving Baichen one step ahead to the left and right sides.

Looking at the black shadow that had disappeared from his field of vision, Bai Chen didn't stay where he was, but straightened the straps of his backpack, and continued to walk towards the interior of the forest.

By the way, is there really no problem with Mary...

Bai Chen looked towards the north of the forest, and he couldn't see the situation there under the cover of trees, so he could only pray in his heart that Mary's mission could proceed smoothly.

......

Reality often appears in a completely different form from what people expected.

In the northern part of the forest, violent explosions sounded one after another in the forest.
