I, the Pokémon Master, now resign

But when he saw the smiles on Lin and Celebi's faces, he began to feel that if he was being teased, he would be being teased, as long as they could be happy.

Since Celebi came here, both he and Lin, their lives seem to have become more colorful. Compared with the decision to protect the legendary Pokémon out of respect for it at the beginning, now His heart is more out of love for his family, so he wants to continue to help and protect it.

The patron saint of the forest, and perhaps the patron saint of man.

......

446 The obsession of a hundred years ago, the unwilling soul

On the edge of the small pool, he and Lin spread the placemat on the ground, and then placed the basket full of snacks and food on top. The picnic was going on as planned, but if you want to talk about the only problem, Maybe it's...

"I know! I will give it to you! Don't grab it!"

He stretched out his hand and pushed the hand of the long-tailed monster who wanted to come up to get the food on his own, while shouting helplessly.

As usual, the food Lin makes seems to be very popular with wild Pokémon. When he usually brings food out, if he meets a wild Pokémon that looks a bit hungry, he will generously distribute it to them.

Although he didn't know if they would remember him, at least he found that he hadn't been attacked by wild Pokémon for a long time. Own.

If you look at it from this point of view, maybe the goodwill I have been spreading out has been received by them, but there are exceptions like the long-tailed monster.

Although it should know itself, but after knowing itself, it does not regard itself as an outsider. Every time it sees itself, it will run up excitedly. If it has food, it can send it away, but if there is no food If you do, you will be tricked by it.

Thinking about it this way, the last time this guy gave himself an apple so kindly in the cave, could he be conveying the idea of ​​"I gave you something to eat too, so you should give it to me in the future!"?

No, it shouldn't be so... If this is the case, it would be too bad, to exchange an apple for my trust and food. …

"Hey, I said...huh?!"

Just when he was about to confirm with the long-tailed monster, the other party suddenly covered his head with his tail, and then took two rice balls from the lunch box in front of him with both hands, and then let go of the tail , bouncing and laughing, climbed up the nearest big tree, and began to slowly enjoy his spoils.

"hateful......"

Knowing that he had been fooled, the corners of his mouth unconsciously twitched a few times.

"Hum~"

Seeing his appearance, Lin and Celebi couldn't help covering their mouths and laughing behind them.

Although two of the rice balls were taken away by the long-tailed monster, neither he nor Lin actually cared about it. After all, the reason why they brought out so much food was to share it with the wild Pokmon who came here .

Friends are important when you're out and about, and for those who live in the forest for a long time, friends are obviously wild Pokémon.

WU~

Celebi, who was sitting at the back, looked around.

Everything here makes him feel at ease and happy, whether it is the Pokmon who are full of kindness, or Lin and him who have been trying their best to help it master its power.

If it can, it even wants to get rid of the identity of the guardian god of the forest, so it can continue to live with them here as an ordinary Pokémon.

But, no way...

Although they didn't say it, Celebi knew it well.Even as neighbors living in the same village, Lin and he have never let outsiders see themselves.

It is self-aware, it knows that its own power is full of temptations for human beings, even though it has been observing for so long, it already feels that the neighbors around are good people, but they still refuse to make concessions on this point .

Have you experienced anything?Have you seen anything?

Celebi couldn't help thinking so.

If I hadn't seen other people's greed and left a shadow in my heart, I wouldn't be so afraid.

It doesn't know, and it didn't ask, but at least it understands one thing - it shouldn't stay here, or one day when their worries really become reality, then...

Celebi shook his head secretly, and didn't continue to think about it, but it wouldn't let that kind of thing happen anyway. Besides...they worked so hard to help themselves master the power, and they also hoped that they could take on the role of the patron saint. The mission is to bring life to forests and lands in various time and space.

However, even if she really understands this, Celebi is still unwilling to separate from them.

It is afraid of loneliness, afraid of loneliness, and even more afraid of the scene of parting...

It's almost time.

It can feel the urging from instinct, as the Celebi's instinct has been urging it to leave here and go to the next space more than once.

If you want to delay, it should be able to delay for a month.

But before that, it still has something to do, something to repay them.

......

A small town in the forest at night.

In a certain simple stone house, he kept turning over, without any sleepiness.

Today's picnic is a rare time for them to relax together. Although they were teased by the long-tailed monster in the middle, the trip was still happy in the end.

only......

"Thinking about Celebi?"

"Ok?"

Unexpectedly, Lin didn't fall asleep at this time, probably because he kept turning over and making too much noise... But even though he didn't open his eyes, he still guessed what he was thinking, maybe this is the relationship between husband and wife The tacit understanding between them?

Originally, he planned to keep this matter in his heart all the time, but since his wife had already asked her so bluntly, then he should give an answer.

"Yeah...I was thinking about Celebi."

He said so, with a trace of confusion and expectation in his tone.

"I've been thinking, if possible, we...can keep Celebi..."

"really."

Lin seemed to have guessed what he would say in advance, and responded with an inexplicable smile the moment he replied.

Perhaps it was because of great difficulty that he uttered this idea, and after he was released, he suddenly seemed to be a different person, and the idea of ​​explaining this choice began to pop up one sentence after another.

"Because, look...we've been together for such a long time, no matter what, we still have feelings, don't we? And Celebi doesn't seem to want to leave very much, the people in the town... As long as you dodge well, you have been successful for so long and have experience, so if you want to continue in the future, then..."

"Do you really think so?"

Lin opened his eyes, and there seemed to be a trace of sadness in the blue pupils.

"Even if you have witnessed the destruction of the Bell Tower, do you still think so?"

"..."

He who had been talking nonsense a second ago suddenly fell silent.

Yes.

Obviously, I have seen that scene before.

Why, is there such a wrong idea?

Human beings' desire for power and greed for legends can drive them to do anything, even if it violates conscience and morality, no matter how dirty and stinky it is, they can accept it.

He did not forget the scene where countless people stood side by side under the bell tower, trying to capture Phoenix King and gain its power.

He also didn't forget the intertwined expressions of lamentation and anger cast by King Feng towards the people on the ground before he left.

Wasn't it because they felt desperate for the humans there that they left the Chengdu area together and came here?

Isn't it because of those things that I swore not to show ill will to Pokémon, but to treat them as true friends and family?

For a moment, various emotions swirled in his heart, and he showed an ugly smile, his tone sounded a little choked up, but it was not because of the choking of the inevitable farewell, but because of his own indecent Sophisticated thoughts.

That's right, he knew... as long as he and Lin went to ask Celebi, it would definitely stay there.

But if he forced Celebi to stay for his own selfish desire, what if what happened to Phoenix King happened to Celebi again?What will we do then?Do we have to wait for things to happen before regretting what we have done?

He turned his back and did not meet Lin's gaze, perhaps because he was ashamed of his immature thoughts, or maybe he was ashamed of the determination they had made before.

"sorry."

He apologized in such a low voice, the moonlight fell on his face through the window, shining the tears in the corners of his eyes.

Separation is unavoidable, but if separation can make it escape the fate that may happen...then, even if it is crying, he must let Celebi leave here, and then let it use its own The strength it has been accumulating since then, use the experience it has gained from training for so long, to do what it wants to do, to do what it must accomplish.

......

The screen changes, and time returns to reality.

"The Bell Tower?"

After listening to the other party's statement, Mary's expression looked a bit incredulous.

"But the Bell Tower is not from more than 300 years ago..."

"Well, that's right...Lin and I are from that era..."

His expression was also slightly emotional. Unknowingly, they have been walking here as ghosts for hundreds of years, and time flies so fast.

"So, after that? Did you say goodbye to Celebi?"

Although surprised that the other party has lived in this capacity for hundreds of years, Mary still cares more about the follow-up of the story.

"No...so that's something we've always deeply regretted."

He sighed, and turned his head to look at his wife who was still talking to Celebi. They seemed to have countless things to say, but that's true... After all, the story of hundreds of years wants to be told in a short time It's not that easy.Although it was Lin who successfully persuaded him to let go of his selfish desire to keep Celebi, how could he not know that it was actually Lin himself who hated Celebi the most.

It was precisely because he knew this that he entrusted Lin with the task of reminiscing with Celebi, and he came to explain everything to Bai Chen.

He withdrew his gaze from Celebi and Lin, turned his head and closed his eyes, and while recalling the scene at that time, he repeated for them:

"After two weeks, one morning, we saw a seed on the stone table outside... a seed exuding a strong vitality, we recognized it, it was the amulet we gave to Celebi, but when the snow When the rabbi gave it back to us, there was a familiar force on that seed... We all realized at that time that Celebi had left... It seemed that it was more afraid of the parting scene than us , that's why it left behind the miracle seed that contains half of its power."

The old man chuckled, seemingly helpless.

"Perhaps Celebi regards all of this as repayment... This guy, who is clearly the one being taken care of, still wants to overdraw this power to cultivate the forest we live in and cultivate for us. That field brought life to life, what a . . . utter fool."

The old man laughed and cursed, his tone full of relief and softness.

When he saw the seed that was left behind, he cried into tears, because he knew that the power left by Celebi must be used to heal itself, because that idiot is like him Like Lin, he can't see others getting hurt, but he doesn't care so much about his own situation.

Although they knew that this was Celebi's kindness, they were worried...

So the guy who is unwilling to fight and hates fighting, can he protect himself well in the future time travel?With half of its power lost, it cannot be attacked by life-threatening attacks...

So they have been waiting, waiting for Celebi's return, wanting to return this seed, this power, this hope, and this regret.

But time has passed year after year, I don't know how many springs, summers, autumns and winters I have experienced, and I don't know how many times the sun has changed... The people waiting gradually changed from two people to one person, and the village began to gradually change. Dilapidated, he was the only one left in the village unknowingly, and the familiar small pool and surrounding forests also began to lose their vitality...

At some point, there was only that disastrous hut left in the whole forest, and only that small bench in front of the hut...

"We want to return this power to Celebi, but we haven't seen it until we die..."

"When I was about to die, I buried this seed in the ground of the house and packed it in a special wooden box. I hope that when Celebi comes back here one day in the future, he will be able to bury the seed. It dug out."

"However, maybe the original power of this seed was reawakened after being buried in the ground, or maybe it sensed our unwillingness... When I became conscious again, Lin was already standing on my side in the form of a ghost. by my side, and I have also become a ghost in the world's population, as for the wooden box that I buried in the soil, I don't know when it was lying beside me."

......

447 The final parting, the end of a hundred years long-cherished wish (4700 words)

"Can you touch something physical?"

"No, the only thing that can be touched is the miracle seed and the box containing it."

He answered truthfully.

Hearing this, many doubts in Bai Chen's heart were also explained. It's no wonder that when the two of them came to Wanshiwu, they were clearly standing within the moving range of the door, but they were not hit by the door.

No wonder they refused his support after accepting the entrustment, and they disappeared very quickly, almost in the blink of an eye.

Before that, Bai Chen really didn't believe in the so-called ghosts and ghosts, but today he really opened his eyes... When people travel, they always get all kinds of unexpected surprises.

"So when you left, you couldn't hold it anymore?"

"Well." He nodded and said: "The power contained in the miracle seed is inspired by Celebi, and can only be stimulated by Celebi. Although the energy in it is still there, we can no longer extract it. That's why I thought of entrusting you with this important matter when I was about to disappear."

"...do you know who I am?"

"After all, they have been wandering here in the form of ghosts for a hundred years, and we know many confidential things."

A smug smile appeared on his face. Although he chose to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests and lived his life in such a desolate way, if he had a choice, he would definitely prefer to live in a prosperous area.

The reason why he chose the former was only because he was afraid of seeing the same thing happen again. He can guarantee that if he really saw the expression on the face of the Pokémon before Feng Wang left, he would definitely go crazy dropped.

"Is that so..."

Bai Chen sighed softly, looking at his gradually transparent body, he didn't know what to say.

After all, the matter is already over here, and they who have lost the support of the miracle seed power will definitely disappear in this world in the end... But, at the very least, I will still remember them and this matter, Perhaps for them, this can be regarded as an acceptable ending.
