I, the Pokémon Master, now resign

"Hmph! What else can I do?!"

The person who recognized Bai Chen's identity at the very beginning was also the first to jump out at this time, as if he had been waiting for Bai Chen's words for a long time.

He pointed at Bai Chen with his finger, and said aggressively: "Since you are Ma Li's teacher in the field of Pokémon battles, we will naturally come to see if you have this level!"

"That's right! There are so many people who are good at Pokémon battles! Why are you qualified to be Miss Mary's teacher!"

"I don't agree!"

"I'm not convinced either!"

In just such a short period of time, there were twenty or so people who jumped out and shouted dissatisfaction, and wanted to fight Bai Chen, accounting for almost half of the people who came to the scene, saying that this was an unplanned surprise. Even Bai Chen couldn't believe it when he had a whim.

"alright."

Bai Chen spread his hands, anyway, things that can be solved with Pokmon battles are nothing to him.

"Hmph, did you agree so quickly?" Seeing Bai Chen agreeing immediately, the person opposite started to sneer. "Then let's discuss who to send to fight you first, wait for us for 2 minutes."

"No need to wait." Bai Chen stretched out his hand to stop them, and then said with a casual attitude: "Just go up together, so as not to waste time."

"..."

After Bai Chen's words fell, the audience was silent, but then thunderous shouts broke out in an instant——

"Huh? Together? Are you so arrogant?!"

"I can't bear it anymore! Do you mean that there is no limit to the number of Pokémon! Yes, let us teach you a lesson today!"

"Some people don't seem to understand how humility is written, let me teach you!"

.......

Faced with this huge booing, Bai Chen naturally didn't care, anyway, this kind of noise wouldn't last long.

If it was the past, even when faced with this situation, he would send Absolu or Roseredo to exercise, but now even if he has this plan, he just has more than enough energy, after all At that time, in order to fight against the Galaxy Group, the Pokmon he carried were all the main force from the previous trips, and Bai Chen has not replaced them until now.

"It's up to you, anyway, I will only use one, please~ Monarch Snake."

Bai Chen casually threw out the precious ball of the Monarch Snake. Although in this situation, if he wanted to save a little bit, he also had other choices, but now he is still anxious to settle the score with Nie Zi who escaped. , so naturally I won't waste any more time here.

"Hey! Only one? I can't take it anymore! Even if you're Miss Mary's teacher, we're not finished today! Brothers, give it to me!"

"Oh——!!!" *N

"Go! Straight to the bear!"

"It's time to go, Thief Fox!"

......

The monstrous sound of fighting soon spread from the gate of Spike Town to the whole town, and the residents of Spike Town who didn't know what happened went to the source of the noise one after another. Before, they thought that the wild Pokémon living around had gone berserk, and they couldn't help but feel a little panic in their hearts.

On the other side, Nie Zi, whom Bai Chen was thinking about, was already sitting in the Spike Gymnasium, drinking coffee while listening to the continuous explosions, and said to himself: "Oh~ it's not me!" I don’t want to help you, it’s just that after Marie’s debut, my right to speak in Spike Town has become less and less. I also want to teach those members of the Shouting Team a lesson so that they don’t cause trouble everywhere, so I just I'm really sorry."

On the one hand, Nie Zi apologized to Bai Chen, but on the other hand, he also felt sorry for those members of the shouting team who were about to be taught a lesson. Although Nie Zi knew that they were also using their own methods to support Ma Li, but the support returned. Support, if you go too extreme, you will be disgusted... After they followed Mary for so long, the members of the Shouting Squad were regarded by the people of the Galar region as worthless people.

Not even thugs, because they can't even do street thugs well.

It took less than a minute for Nie Zi to sit down and drink, and the explosion in the distance ended.

"Oh, so fast..."

Nie Zi sighed.

Originally, he hoped that Bai Chen and the shouting team could fight longer, so that he would have more time to be clean, but it's a pity that people's wish was not fulfilled.

"Da~da~"

After a while, there was a sound of footsteps from outside the steeple arena.

"I ran away so fast. Even if you can't solve it, why don't you just help me out? You should know that when you called to plead for Ma Li, I could immediately agree."

"These two things should not be confused." Nie Zi retorted immediately after hearing this.

"why?"

"After all, those troublesome guys in the shout team are not as worry-free as Mary. Although Mary didn't mention it to me, she must have helped you a lot there, right? I mean in daily life."

"..."

There is no way to refute it.

Bai Chen shrugged his shoulders. Since Nie Zi had already said that, he had no reason to continue this topic. Anyway, he didn't come here this time for these, and the people from the shouting team didn't bring him anything. What a trouble, but now they are self-doubting over there.

"Speaking of which, I haven't even asked yet. What's the purpose of your coming to Spike Town? To be honest, we don't know each other very well, so you probably didn't come here specifically to find me, did you?"

Nie Zi got up, poured a cup of coffee for Bai Chen, and asked in an absent-minded manner.

"It's true that I didn't come to see you." Bai Chen took the coffee, and didn't care about Nie Zi's current state. If his expression was really serious, Bai Chen would feel uncomfortable. "I just want to find a place to rest before the start of the Champions League to recover from my injuries."

"Healing your wounds..." Nie Zi glanced at Bai Chen's neck, although his arm was blocked by his clothes, but from here Nie Zi also noticed that Bai Chen was wearing ointment, it shouldn't be a stiff neck Simple thing. "It can be seen that Sinnoh's situation was really serious at that time. Even you were injured so badly. If Mary found out, she would be sad for a long time, right? After all, she almost never left you after she came back. …”

"That's why I have to avoid her first. Although the doctor said that I can take off the bandage and this ointment depending on the situation, my injury is not completely healed, and it will take a while. At least it’s impossible to get better before the Champions Cup, so I can only hide in a place closer to Gongmen City with the hope of getting better.”

"You are really working hard too."

Nie Zi finally admitted Bai Chen's good intentions, praised him, and then filled up the coffee that Bai Chen drank almost half.

"If you know that I have good intentions, you can help me at that time... Forget it, let's not talk about it."

Bai Chen waved his hand, denying himself, and then changed the topic to something else, asking:

"By the way, you still look very leisurely now, don't you also want to participate in the Champions Cup challenge? Is it really good to be so leisurely and not to train?"

You must know that although Nie Zi's support rate is not high in the Galar area, there will be even fewer people supporting Nie Zi after Ma Li joined this year, but no matter how many people support him, Nie Zi will always support him. He is the third person after Dandi and Qibana.

Moreover, if it is said that Nie Zi's Pokémon and command level must be weaker than Qibana's, not only Bai Chen would not agree, but even Qibana himself would not agree.

The venue for the Champions Cup Challenge is an area covered by extreme giant energy. Challengers can use extreme giants that greatly improve Pokémon’s abilities during battles. This is the default of everyone in the Galar region. A matter of convention.However, for such a long time, there is only one participant who is unwilling to use extreme power in such an important battle, and that is Nie Zi.

Perhaps it was because his hometown was not cared for by the extreme energy, or maybe there were other reasons. In short, during the battle, Nie Zi made it clear that he would not use extreme energy to fight , he wants to prove his strength in a more simple way.

He succeeded, and he failed.

In many years of fighting, he successfully defeated all the participants, proved his strength as a Pokémon trainer, and proved the fact that he can fight even without extreme giantization,

But he failed, he lost to Chibana, for years.Bai Chen didn't know what the battle scene between him and Qibana was like, but in the newspapers, those editors described Nie Zi in this way——

Ordinary people who were unwilling to use extremely huge energy lost to Qibana again.

That's right, among the talented trainers who appear every year and the owners of the other seven arenas, Nie Zi is the only one who has lost to Qibana, and he is the only one that Nie Zi has not yet defeated.

If the loss in the newspapers and magazines is true, then it can explain how strong Nie Zi is as a Pokémon trainer. After all, he can do this without using Gigamax. Accepting the words of extreme giantization, does it mean that he can defeat Qibana and challenge Dandi?

Logically speaking, it should be such a logic, but in the eyes of the people in the Galar region, since Nie Zi rejected the extreme giantization that represents their local symbol, then losing is only Nie Zi's own business. It does not mean that Nie Zi is stronger than Qibana, and Nie Zi himself has not expressed his views and opinions on this statement in any media.

"You should have a good chance this year, right? Isn't this going to kill Qibana before Mary, and then stage a brother-sister battle?"

Bai Chen joked like this.

"..." In the face of Bai Chen's teasing, Nie Zi was only silent for a while, and then said so dullly: "There is no way, I really can't win Qibana...Although I have always hated Qibana... Juhua, but the increase it brings to Pokémon is also real... I lost to his extremely giant aluminum steel dragon a year ago, and this year Qibana's strength is still increasing, but I have already It's been stagnant for a whole year."

As Nie Zi said, there was a hint of self-deprecation in it.

.......

637 About Mary's future?

Nie Zi's words had a sense of giving up, which was in sharp contrast to his domineering appearance back then. Hearing Nie Zi's self-deprecating words, Bai Chen couldn't help frowning.

"What do you mean..."

"Well, after this competition, I plan to let go."

Nie Zi said a sentence that seemed a little surprising, but it was reasonable.

Letting go, Nie Zi obviously meant to give up her current status as the owner of the Jianding Town arena, and hand over this status to Ma Li.If you want to say whether Ma Li's strength can afford this status, then Bai Chen will definitely say that it must be more than enough.

The arena owner does not need to show all his strength in the usual challenges, so in fact, as long as the trainer can pass the challenge of the eight arenas, he has the qualifications to be the arena owner, but the strength is not enough Yes, the key lies in whether you can convince the public after becoming the manager of the local arena. If your personal reputation is not enough, the local people will not pay the bill.

Of course, this problem would not be a problem in Spike Town, after all, Ma Li's popularity in Spike Town seems to be much higher than that of Nie Zi.

"Seriously? I thought you'd stay here for a few more years and wait until Mary could compete with Dandi before letting go."

"Are you serious?" Nie Zi asked back at this time: "Although Mali's talent is better than mine, she is still far from defeating Emperor Dan. Unless there is some special opportunity, I will I will be the owner of the museum here for the rest of my life.”

Nie Zi waved his hand, immediately denying Bai Chen's statement.

Although he dotes on his younger sister very much and believes that she can become a Pokémon trainer far surpassing him, Nie Zi still has no expectations about whether Ma Li can defeat Emperor Dan.

It seems easy to say the following, but it cannot be accomplished through simple efforts to really achieve this.Consider that among the nominees in the Galar region two years ago, there is also Poplar, the current owner of the arena in Wuzi Town. As a user of fairy-type Pokémon, Poplar was also a champion at one time. People in the Galar region regarded it as a genius at that time.

But even such a talented person can't shake the status of the previous champion, who is also the master of the current champion Dandi - Ma Shide.

Although it is said that Masd and Popola are strong rivals, in the past battles, Popola seems to be more than a point or two away from defeating Masd. Even a genius like Popola back then wants to surpass even more genius Masad is still a difficult thing that is almost suffocating.

Before the emergence of extreme energy, Mashid has been the champion of the Galar region for 18 consecutive years. In the past 18 years, there has not been a strong opponent who can wrestle with him. He is an absolute legend in the Galar region.It wasn't until the birth of the more talented Dandi and the appearance of extremely large energy that Ma Shide's 18-year consecutive championship record was finally interrupted.

However, some people also said that Mashid deliberately lost to Dandi at that time, because it was time for him to retire, and it was too tiring to hold on to the championship seat all the time, so it is better to take advantage of the changes in the Galar region It is time to choose to abdicate and let a young man with more dreams, that is, Emperor Dan, take over.

This statement was relatively popular in the past, but as Dandi showed his sharpness and became one of the nominees for the Pokémon Master, the past statement gradually disappeared in the long river of history.

But in the final analysis, whether it is the competition between Popola and Mastos, or Mastos and Dandi, it can be seen that it is extremely difficult to accomplish the feat of the following grams.Champions everywhere are one-in-a-million absolute talents. The longer they sit in the position of champions, the more powerful their combat experience and Pokémon will be. To surpass them, unless there is a person whose talent has reached the limit , or they themselves have already had the idea of ​​​​retiring, otherwise they want to overcome...

Maybe it will really become what Nie Zi said, wait another ten years, wait until the current champion is old, can't concentrate and has no desire to fight.

"Don't look at how easy I am saying now, the reason why I made this decision is also after a very intense ideological struggle."

Nie Zi's tone was somewhat weak. Although he planned to abdicate to his younger sister a long time ago, his younger sister should not grow up so fast in his plan.If it hadn't been for going to that winter camp, getting to know Bai Chen, and studying with Bai Chen for such a long time, Ma Li should still be in the state of being a novice ready to start, although with her talent, as long as she starts After that, you should be able to grow up quickly, but do you want to surpass yourself?It shouldn't be that easy.

But now Ma Li not only has the knowledge and skills learned from Bai Chen, but also has the experience accumulated during travel. With the mutual addition and promotion of the two, the current Ma Li has no hard power at all. He was inferior to himself, and after Nie Zi learned of this fact, he also accelerated his determination to leave office.

"..." Nie Zi said these resolute words with dead fish eyes, making Bai Chen not know how to react for a moment.

After staring at Nie Zi for a while, he asked slowly, "So, is Ma Li planning to take over the position of the owner after this competition?"

Nie Zi: "Huh?"

It should be a very normal question, but Nie Zi suddenly froze in place.

Seeing Nie Zi's speechless expression, Bai Chen finally understood.

"What, so you haven't even asked Mary?"

"No...but..." When Bai Chen said this, Nie Zi was naturally a little anxious to defend himself: "Because Ma Li told me before that as long as she is qualified to participate in the Champions Cup Challenge, I'm about to take over my position, so..."

The more he talked, the more unconfident Nie Zi became. In the end, he didn't even dare to look at Bai Chen.

However, it was Bai Chen who reminded Nie Zi that he realized that he had not even discussed this decision with Ma Li. She was obviously one of the participants in this matter, and his thoughts were basically In fact, it is putting an end to Mary's future.

Although it is true that after becoming the owner of the arena, you can do other things, especially in Spike Town, where the number of challengers is far lower than other arenas, the owner has more free time.

but……

Although there is a lot more free time, in the final analysis, this kind of freedom is only limited to the freedom of the surrounding area. After becoming the owner of the museum, Mary, who is the owner of the museum, naturally cannot travel for a long time. From then on, the identity of a trainer naturally has nothing to do with Mary.

Nie Zi thought to herself that Ma Li would take over her position after this game as she said before, and become the owner of the Spike Arena, but what is the reality?

When Marie said those words, she was just a child who liked to lock herself in the room. After witnessing the loneliness of Spike Town and her own hard work, it was actually true that she said those words. Very normal thing.

But now?

Ma Li is no longer the little girl she was back then. She went out to exercise herself, met Bai Chen, learned a lot from him, and saw a lot.

She met Xiaoyou, a good friend who can travel together, and traveled the entire Galar region with her, experienced a lot and grew a lot.

The current Mary is no longer the original Mary. With the expansion of her horizons, her thoughts may change... No, it should be said that there will definitely be changes, right?

Nie Zi couldn't help thinking so.

After all, Mary is still young now. Compared with being trapped in the small place of Spike Town, she will definitely yearn for the outside world more, to contact and encounter more unknown people and unknown Pokémon, and grow up Bar?If she takes on the identity of the arena owner now, Ma Li will never have such an opportunity again in the future. Will she still laugh and tell herself the interesting things she met during the trip in the future? State the yearning and expectation for the future?

In fact, these are not difficult questions to answer, but Nie Zi didn't think about it for a while, or... he took it for granted.

"This...is my fault." Nie Zi closed his eyes, and said to Bai Chen in a heavy tone: "Since Ma Li came back from you, and she and her companion Xiaoyou traveled here, as of now Now, I haven't even asked her about her future plans, which is because I was too hasty."

Nie Zi admitted his mistake very frankly. He thought that after this competition, he would be a leisurely person. He could do what he likes and contribute to Jianding Town economically. I do my part, but these can only be realized on the premise that Ma Li has not changed her original ideals and aspirations, and this is the only point that Nie Zi has not yet figured out.

"But I don't think you need to blame yourself so much." Bai Chen comforted: "At least from what Ma Li said to me, her desire to take over the gym and revitalize Spike Town is still Very strong, but what Ma Li wants to know, only she knows now, anyway, in the end it will be..."

"It depends on Mary's own will, right?"

"That's what I mean."

Seeing that Nie Zi had finally awakened, Bai Chen also showed a gratified smile.

Compared with Bai Chen's comfort now, Nie Zi felt ashamed. He was clearly Ma Li's elder brother, so he should have noticed this, but he never expected to remind him of this at the end. The incident turned out to be Bai Chen who had only been with Ma Li for a few months, which really made him a little embarrassed.
