I, the Pokémon Master, now resign

And as for the cub of the Dark Crow... I am afraid there is only one answer. It should have been born during the battle between the Dark Crow Clan and the Mongoose Clan. Because of the intense fighting, its parents might also be beheaded by the Mongoose. They were attacked and fled in a hurry, so that they didn't even have a chance to bring their newborn children.

What happened was probably what Ms. Joy described, and Bai Chen thought that Ms. Joy's judgment was probably correct. After all, look at the birth time of this dark crow and compare the time of the battle between the two sides. The time of the two sides is basically the same. It can be matched.

"It's really a cruel law of nature... And according to the habits of the Dark Crows, its parents probably won't come back to look for it... Although they gave birth to the child, they still followed their natural instincts in the end and gave up on saving it...that's ridiculous..."

The whole battle was carried out by wild Pokémon obeying the laws of nature from beginning to end, so Bai Chen didn't plan to argue right and wrong. We must learn that trainers should intervene in the internal battles of wild Pokmon as little as possible, and there is not much right or wrong in essence in the competition for food, the most basic element of survival. Determine whether the degree is appropriate.

Taking the fight between the Dark Crow and the Mongoose Zhan this time as an example, Bai Chen never thinks that the Mongoose Zhan who drove the Dark Crow out of the forest played the role of villains, because all Pokmon must survive, and this The rules in the forest have already been determined, and now there are more than 20 dark crows, which must have exceeded the carrying capacity of the forest. From this point of view, it is better to say that the mongooses have protected the forest The survival resources of the rest of the Pokémon, especially the weaker Pokémon living in the outer forest.

However, there is indeed no problem with them expelling the Dark Crows, but Bai Chen still finds it difficult to agree with their behavior of killing the newborn Dark Crows. It's hard to say anything, since Mary has rescued the Dark Crow, then this incident can come to an end here.

"Forget it, let's go back..."

Looking at the time, Mary should be able to communicate with the Dark Crow now, and there is a question about the future of the Dark Crow, and Bai Chen plans to have a good talk with Mary.

△

"Mary, that, about the Dark Crow...um..."

Walking to the door of the ward, Bai Chen didn't even finish a complete sentence, but saw the scene in the ward, and couldn't help but stop talking.

The dark crow with its feathers wrapped in bandages has now woken up, but it is somewhat different from Bai Chen's prediction that it should keep a certain distance from Mary... No, it should be completely different, right?Now the Dark Crow is constantly rubbing against Mary's cheek, looking very happy, and although Mary seems a little uncomfortable with the Dark Crow's closeness, judging from the corners of her slightly raised mouth, her mood should be Not bad, right?

But Morube on the other side looked a little wrong.

It has been falling into a deep sleep since it came back, but the moment it woke up, it saw the scene of the Dark Crow that it rescued was sticking to Mary, and didn't know for a while whether it was sulking or something Yes, sitting alone on the bedside cabinet, watching the interaction between the Dark Crow and Mary with puffy cheeks.

"Teacher Bai Chen..."

At this time, Ma Li also noticed Bai Chen standing at the door, so she quickly pushed the Dark Crow away, stood up and greeted Bai Chen.

"It looks very sticky to you. If it's correct, it should have been in a coma with consciousness before. During its coma, it should be able to feel your protection for it."

Although Bai Chen was a little stunned at the first moment, but after realizing it, with years of travel experience, Bai Chen also guessed why a newborn wild dark crow was so close to Mary.

"It should be said... a bit too clingy... a bit difficult..."

Mary stretched out her hand to block the Dark Crow who was still trying to post it, her tone was a little embarrassed but also a little happy, maybe this Dark Crow is another Pokémon who is very close to her after Molubeco Bar?

But since Mary also seemed to like the look of the Dark Crow, everything was easy to talk about.

"If you like it too, you can take it in. It is difficult for such a small dark crow to survive in this area without parents; if you don't like it... I can ask others to adopt it temporarily until It can go out to look for food by itself~ But...the decision is up to you."

After finishing the first half of the sentence, Bai Chen could clearly feel that Ma Li's heart was moving, but in order to see Ma Li's panic, Bai Chen added the last sentence maliciously.Sure enough, after Bai Chen finished speaking the second half of the sentence, Ma Li's body visibly trembled, and her expression also looked anxious.

"No...I...I would like to be its companion! Just..."

"ya~~"

"?!"

Although Mary likes the Dark Crow very much, she would have preferred to find its parents if possible, but before Mary could say that, the Dark Crow seemed to have read her mind He also used his beak to pull the corner of Mary's sleeve, and the Dark Crow's thoughts could not be more clear.

"Sure enough... even a newborn Pokémon understands this simple truth..."

Bai Chen whispered to himself in a voice that he could only hear.

"Did you say anything just now?"

"No, nothing... In other words, since the Dark Crow has this will, don't hesitate. As a trainer, if you don't grasp the opportunity, your dream will be lost."

Bai Chen's words were not only meant for Ma Li, but also seemed to be meant for himself. After seeing the interaction between Ma Li and the Dark Crow, at least he could feel completely relieved about this matter, but I don't know why, but he is now in a rare mood of irritability.

"Cultivate your relationship slowly. I'll go out for a walk beforehand, and I'll pick you up later at the hotel."

Without waiting for Ma Li to say anything, Bai Chen left the ward by himself, leaving only Ma Li with a somewhat lonely back.

"Teacher Bai Chen...what's the matter..."

Maybe it was affected by Bai Chen's emotions, Ma Li also looked worried when she saw Bai Chen's leaving back, and then she slowly put down her raised right hand, her flickering eyes seemed to be thinking about something. What.

......

071 Respective thoughts

The Dark Crow's condition has improved after undergoing treatment and regaining some physical strength after eating some food, at least not so serious that it needs to be hospitalized.

And Ma Li's injury is not serious, but she will not be able to continue participating in the winter camp for the next few days. Originally, when Bai Chen told her about this, she was afraid that Ma Li would return to a lost look again, but seeing her It seems that he accepted it readily, and he should be immersed in the joy of subduing the Dark Crow.

......

"I didn't expect it to be past ten o'clock after just having dinner there, so it seems that those guys are coming back..."

As night fell, Bai Chen and Ma Li were walking back by the light of the flashlight. Originally, Bai Chen planned to go back to the hotel for dinner at night, but under the enthusiastic recommendation of Ms. Joey, he finally lost to the exploration of food. Xin Xin took Ma Li to eat at a ramen shop in the town. He thought it would be a quick meal, but unexpectedly, it was completely dark in the blink of an eye.

"Because Mr. Bai Chen, you added noodles three times and ordered so many side dishes..."

Ma Li looked at Bai Chen whose stomach was already swollen, and said with a little helplessness in her eyes.

After all, it is indeed Bai Chen who makes it so late. Ma Li finished eating the ramen in less than half an hour, but Bai Chen seems to be obsessed with the taste, and the noodles can be eaten continuously. Continued, so from the beginning to the end, Bai Chen refilled the noodles three times with a bowl full of soup. He also ordered tempura and soft-boiled eggs. In the end, he couldn't eat any more and gave a lot to Mary.

Sensing Ma Li's eyes, Bai Chen smiled a little embarrassedly, his behavior just now was indeed a bit out of control.

"Because I haven't eaten at such a place for a long time. I usually cook by myself when I'm in Random Town. Except for the meal I ate when I first arrived at the hotel that night, I haven't eaten outside for more than half a year. It's time to eat, after such a long time, I still miss this kind of feeling~ So if you don't pay attention, you will forget yourself."

"Wairan Town...Mr. Baichen, you said that morning that you have opened two stores in Shuran Town, right... a coffee shop and... a house of masters?"

"Well, yes, why did you suddenly think of this?"

Hearing Ma Li suddenly mentioned the two stores he opened in Random Town, Bai Chen turned his head to look at her with some doubts, but now Ma Li has returned to the usual expressionless state, and Bai Chen has to learn from it. There is no useful information.

"It's just... a little curious..." Ma Li's eyes moved slightly when Bai Chen couldn't notice it, but she kept her tone as calm as possible, and asked: "Teacher Bai Chen The house of everything you opened...is it the same as the one shown on TV, where you can accept all commissions and help others solve their troubles and problems?"

"Don't say my shop is the same as the shop that cooperates with criminals. Instead of accepting all commissions, I accept all reasonable commissions that are within my ability..." Bai Chen first said I made a complaint, corrected the mistakes in Ma Li's sentence, and then asked curiously: "Why do you suddenly ask this? Do you have any troubles? If you have any, you can come to Wanshiwu for help through entrustment. Oh~ After all, I am your teacher now, so I can give you a [-]% discount."

Bai Chen's slightly teasing words made Mary beside him quiet down, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly fell silent, Bai Chen subconsciously felt whether he had said something wrong.

Oops...won't it remind her of some bad memory?But what I just said shouldn't be a problem, right?It's just that if you have any troubles, you can come to the store to ask yourself for help... You shouldn't have stepped on any thunder, right?

And just as Bai Chen was constantly guessing all kinds of possibilities in his heart because of nervousness, Ma Li on the other side was also thinking about something in his heart.

Are you accepting a commission where everything is normal and within your capabilities...

Ma Li kept repeating this sentence in her heart, just like Bai Chen asked jokingly just now, but Ma Li wanted to ask Bai Chen for something, but she really couldn't speak under the current situation, after all, today She has already caused so much trouble for Bai Chen, and she is not good at communicating with people in such a situation, so she is even more embarrassed to speak up, but if it is in Wanshiwu, in the form of entrustment...

"Maybe you can..."

"Ah? Uh... did you just say something?"

"No, nothing...just talking to myself..."

"yes......"

Because they had their own concerns, Ma Li and Bai Chen didn't have any more conversations on the next road, and the two sides fell into an awkward silence, except for the sound of the wind in the forest at night. The only thing left is the snoring of Morubek sleeping in Marie's backpack...

△

The time from the small town back to the hotel is neither short nor long. It took about half an hour to walk at a normal speed at night, and Mary and Bai Chen finally returned to the hotel. In the hotel, the scene in front of them made them completely speechless.

"Help... help..."

"I can not make it......"

"My... my stomach..."

Mary & Bai Chen: "!?"

In front of them, there were about five to six trainers lying on the floor, looking like they had been squeezed dry, moving their bodies constantly, chanting some strange words, and if they didn't know it, they would probably be confused. Think they are bewitched.

"Cheer up...Cheer up! What the hell happened here!? That big...um...where did the acting teacher go?!"

He had just recovered from today's incident, but he didn't expect such a surprise when he came back. Bai Chen was so frightened that he quickly helped them up, and turned his head to ask the other trainers who seemed to be normal.

"It's really nothing... just..."

After Bai Chen asked this question, the girl standing at the front replied with an awkward expression.

"Just what?"

"Uh... um... It's just that they all... have a bad stomach... The acting teacher's situation is more serious... they have been carried away..."

"what?"

Bai Chen's expression froze involuntarily, and he was stunned for a long time before he could only make such a suspicious sound.

It seemed that Bai Chen hadn't fully understood. The girl groaned for a while and then added again after organizing the language: "Because we eat in three pots, and the acting teacher only cooks one pot because he is not proficient. Dinner, and then I don’t know what he put in when cooking...It obviously smells okay, but when they eat it, they all..."

"It's all done."

One of the boys who survived seemed to be holding back a laugh and said.

Bai Chen: "..."

It turns out that you are not good at cooking, but you are good at making murderous dishes......

......

072 The curtain is over, please continue to work hard in the future (1/3)

Time flies, and after accidents happened at both ends of the day, the time winter camp finally came to the last day. Although there were some accidents and accidents during the ten days, the winter camp was over anyway, and Now in the lobby of the hotel, Bai Chen is counting the scores of this winter camp.

"748...756...Well, this should be the highest score in this event."

After counting the photos on the last camera, Bai Chen finally stretched his waist and let out a sigh of relief, then stood up with his hands on the table and announced loudly: "The final score of Chuang Tai from Qiefeng City is 756." He is the trainer with the highest score in this event, so Sota won the No.1 of this winter camp and will receive the prize provided by the Sinnoh Alliance!"

"awesome!"

Immediately after Bai Chen announced the winner of this event, a boy below started clapping his hands and cheering for joy. Obviously he was the champion of this competition, and although the trainers around were somewhat envious, But the difficulty of this activity is also obvious to all, so they simply gave their congratulatory applause to the winner.

"As for the prizes...let me see...well, here..." After announcing the winner of the event, Bai Chen also started to find the prize box that he had placed in the hall before. It's small, about the same size as the backpacks carried by trainers.

"Come on, this is your prize for winning, use it well in your future journey."

"Thank you, Teacher Bai Chen!"

Perhaps because he was excited by the prize, Chuangta's voice became louder unconsciously at this time, and the trainers who had been surrounding him also leaned forward one after another at this time, poking their heads curiously. He quickly opened it to see what it was.

Facing the curiosity of the companions around him, Chuangta also generously unwrapped the ribbon tied on the gift box without any intention of hiding it, and the moment Chuangta lifted the lid up, all the training The players couldn't help shouting in surprise, and the eyes of the fifteen trainers including Mary couldn't help but widen.

There are colorful stones placed in the box, which add up to about a dozen pieces, but of course the prizes for the winners of this winter camp cannot be just a few simple stones, and for the stones placed in the box Stone, the trainers present couldn't be more familiar with it.

"Is this... a full set of evolution stones?!"

"Well, that's right~ All the evolutionary stones known so far are all inside, whether it is the common Fire Stone, Water Stone or the relatively rare Awakening Stone and Light Stone, they are all here."

Bai Chen's explanation completely blew up the emotions of the trainers present. No one thought that the prizes of this winter camp would be so luxurious. You must know that evolutionary stones cannot be mass-produced artificially, and the market price of each evolutionary stone is definitely not high. It will be low, the common evolutionary stones alone are enough to make many trainers hesitate to buy them, let alone these rare evolutionary stones, some individual evolutionary stones are even priceless.

"Damn it! If I knew it earlier, I would have worked harder! Obviously the difference in scores won't be that big!"

"That's right! If I had known that the prize would be so luxurious..."

......

The trainers below have been completely messed up. It seems that both the market value of the evolutionary stone itself and the value to the trainers are beyond imagination. For the trainers who are beating their chests and sighing, Bai Chen is a bit confused. It's fun to watch them regret it.

Take a break secretly~ This is also human nature. Although the performance of the trainers in the past few days can be said to be very good, but after the critical turning point of the seventh day, many trainers began to fight. Being lazy during the process, although Bai Chen saw this, he didn't say anything, after all, he knew the prizes in advance, and Bai Chen would only smile and say to the trainers who lost the game because of being lazy. Say "It's a pity, let's work harder next time~".

But when it comes to the winner, there is indeed a certain luck factor in it. Although he is also one of the few trainers who is not lazy, his scoring until the eighth day was not among the top batch, but in the end In two days, his score started to improve by leaps and bounds. If you want to ask why...

The weaker wild Pokémon in the outer layer, who have been regarded as the targets of defeat, began to attack him in groups in the last two days, and there were two other people. The three of them basically continued for a whole day when they were attacked by countless wild Pokmon. There is no time to rest, as long as they stop, there must be Pokémon looking for a chance to jump up behind them, so the situation of the few of them in the last two days can only be described as miserable.

Although he suffered a lot of injuries, it was a blessing in disguise compared to the final reward. At least he himself looked very happy, but the other two trainers who were also attacked by wild Pokémon seemed to be very happy. Some were speechless.

The scene was already boiling, but in such an environment, there were only two people who maintained their usual calm appearance, and that was Bai Chen and Ma Li who stood outside. They have already left the scene one after another, went to the chairs in the corner of the hall and sat down to chat.

"Do you feel sorry?"

Smiling and looking away from the trainers over there, Bai Chen asked Ma Li with a little teasing.

You must know that Ma Li's score has been in the first echelon in the past few days. If she hadn't been injured in the Dark Crow incident, maybe she might also hit the first position. That's why Bai Chen raised such a question.

"Although it's a little bit, I don't care about it. I don't regret it." Mary's answer was very straightforward. It seemed that she really didn't care about the victory prize anymore. "Even if I lost the chance to fight for the first place, I also subdued the Dark Crow. I think the Dark Crow means more to me than the evolution stone..."

A smile appeared on the corner of Mary's mouth, and she took out the Pokémon Ball containing the Dark Crow and began to wipe it gently, her movements were very gentle.

"yes."

Bai Chen didn't seem surprised by Ma Li's answer. He yawned, glanced at Ma Li out of the corner of his eye, and then said in an easy-going tone as if talking to himself: " That night, didn't you ask me...whether participating in this winter camp can make me stronger?"

"? Hmm...it's like this...what's wrong?"

After hearing Bai Chen's question, Ma Li first tilted her head in doubt, and after thinking for a while, she realized that Bai Chen was talking about the first night, so she asked back.

"No, it's nothing... I just want to add a little bit to the answer I gave you that night... If your goal is to become the top trainer, then you must continue to work towards this goal , you have the ability to become a top trainer, whether it is from behavior or mentality, but whether you will succeed in the end depends on how hard you work~ I can meet people like you at the winter camp who are full of hope I also feel very happy as a trainer, so please continue to work hard in the future."

"..."

After Bai Chen said this, he walked towards the door, and Ma Li looked at Bai Chen's leaving back, and wanted to say something else, but she didn't know if she thought of something at that moment, but He lowered his head with concern in his expression, recalling Bai Chen's words and muttered to himself: "Keep working hard...really..."
