I, the Pokémon Master, now resign

Ma Li didn't mention other possibilities, because based on what she knew about Bai Chen, every time he went to a new place, he would definitely want to stay here for a while, it's not that he likes the outside scenery so much, It's just because he thinks it's a waste of taking such a long time in transportation without cherishing the precious time after arriving.

But compared to Bai Chen, it was Ma Li who was looking forward to traveling together for a while.

The time with Xiaoyou was very happy, because there were like-minded companions around her, which made Mary forget the loneliness and loneliness that she should have felt when traveling alone.However, although she was very happy with Xiaoyou, she still cherished the time with Bai Chen even more, and that time was also the time that she remembered the most.

Whether it's in the middle of the night, go to the cold cave ruins together.

Or walk into a dark cemetery where there is no light even in the daytime.

Or walk through the deserted desert together, blocking the oncoming yellow sand with your hands.

......

Although the process was not so smooth, Ma Li never worried about it, because no matter how difficult the problem was or how powerful the Pokémon was, Bai Chen would keep her behind and deal with everything lightly.

Maybe it's Ma Li's attachment to Bai Chen, who can create an absolutely safe environment for her to become stronger, as a newcomer trainer, or maybe it's her nostalgia for the nervous but full of unknown fun life back then.

She wanted to travel with Bai Chen again for a while, even if she didn't have any goals, just going out for a walk.

It's not just the nostalgia for the past, but she also just hopes that Bai Chen can see her grow more, not only in Pokémon battles, but also in field life and improvement in hands-on ability.

"This..." Bai Chen came back to his senses. Facing Ma Li's seemingly "casual" question, he simply replied: "After watching tomorrow's game, I'm leaving." It's supposed to be going to Kanto, Sakagi seems to have something urgent to say to me, otherwise I should stay here for a while, right?"

Bai Chen thought that Ma Li was just talking casually, and he just answered casually, but before he noticed, Ma Li, who had kept her head down, trembled unconsciously, and even her breathing became heavy Some.

.......

678 The Only and Last Request

"Are you in such a hurry?"

Bai Chen was a little distracted at the moment, so he didn't notice the details of Ma Li's actions, but Nie Zi, who was sitting with Bai Chen, could see that Ma Li was strange now. As Ma Li's older brother, Nie Zi naturally understood that she How long has my sister been looking forward to this day.

Even when Mary heard that Bai Chen would come to watch her match, she didn't sleep much all night. It seemed that she was doing a travel strategy in the Galar region, right?The specific Nie Zi is not very clear.

"Are you really in such a hurry? Can't you stay here for a few more days?"

Nie Zi knew that with his younger sister's personality, it would not be easy for her to speak up to keep Bai Chen, so Nie Zi had to speak instead of Ma Li, trying to make Bai Chen stay here for a while.

If it is a normal situation, it is not even necessary for Nie Zi to say that Bai Chen came to the Galar region by plane after a lot of difficulty. Naturally, it is impossible to leave so soon, but the current situation is too tense... He is about to What we have to face is probably a catastrophe that will affect the whole world. Now Sakagi and it have made a preliminary discovery, and Kyurem has traveled a long distance to communicate with himself through telepathy. then prophesied...

All the spearheads are probably pointing at the discovery that Sakagi mentioned. In order to prevent the crisis in the Sinnoh area from breaking out again, Bai Chen must make preparations in advance.

This time, the disaster must be controlled within a certain range, and it must not be allowed to spread again.

At this moment, what Bai Chen was thinking seemed to surface unintentionally on his expression. Mary saw it in her eyes, she had never seen such an expression on Bai Chen's face, that is to say... what he had to do Is it really dangerous?

"I can't help it. If I could, I wouldn't want to hurry. It's very tiring to fly back and forth. I haven't had a good rest recently."

As Bai Chen spoke, he turned his somewhat stiff shoulders. Although he didn't say anything about the busy days now, he still felt tired inside.

First of all, he is not as good as when he was young, and he can overdraw his body every day. At the beginning, he could do it for three days and three nights with a simple nap, but he was still full of energy. But now he is no longer able to do it. The next day, he had no energy all day long, and now Bai Chen was still thinking about whether he should let Darkley use physical means to help him fall asleep at night.

And secondly, now his goal is not what it was at the beginning, as long as he can protect himself and become as strong as possible, now he is carrying people's lives, he can no longer use that kind of Go ahead and face big challenges with a casual attitude.

"But......"

Although Bai Chen had clearly expressed his intention to refuse, Nie Zi still wanted to say something, but at this moment Ma Li stopped him before Nie Zi could speak.

"Forget it." Ma Li said flatly, without even moving her eyes to Nie Zi and Bai Chen. "Teacher Bai Chen said so, so it must be a very important matter, so it's fine."

Ma Li ate the remaining food on the plate a little lonely, and her tone could not detect any emotional changes, as if she was just stating a simple fact: "It is very good for Teacher Bai Chen to come to the scene at such a busy time. alright."

Although Ma Li always puts on a plain face, she is still very strong in this aspect. She understands that if she really asks Bai Chen like Nie Zi, even if there is something really important, at least In two days, Bai Chen should still agree.

But what's the point?

As it is now, even though Bai Chen is standing here and sitting with them, Bai Chen's mind is obviously not on this. Mali can see that she is neither stupid nor blind, and now Bai Chen must have met something even He felt that the problem was difficult, so he looked absent-minded.

Mary knew very well that as Bai Chen's Pokémon master, ordinary problems couldn't stop him at all, whether it was when he fought against Regis, who was the guardian individual, in the iceberg ruins, or later in the steel island. When fighting Darkley, Bai Chen never flinched at all.Facing Regice and Darkrai, who seemed invincible to most people, Bai Chen acted so calmly, as if they were just Pokémon that could be seen everywhere on the roadside.

For such a person, the only thing that can make him feel very troublesome is of course only the top legendary Pokémon.

Bai Chen didn't say anything, but Ma Li knew that whether it was the rampage of Gulardo and Gaioka in the Fangyuan area, or the turmoil in the Shen'ao area not long ago, Bai Chen must be involved in the solution.

Would Marie really be willing?That must be false, of course she is not reconciled, but the object of her reluctance is not Bai Chen, but herself.

She was not reconciled that her strength was limited to this. Although she had traveled for such a long time and her strength had improved significantly compared to when she and Bai Chen were separated, it was still far from enough.

During the time of traveling with Bai Chen, her vision has been rapidly expanded, so she is never satisfied with her current strength.

She has always wanted to defeat Qibana, and tomorrow is her chance. Except for Qibana, she has always wanted to defeat Dandi before. After solving the problem of Spike Town, she will replace Dandi and become Galle The new champion of Er area, if this happens, the gap between her and Bai Chen should be even smaller, right?

but--

At noon today, Mary saw the battle, the battle between the Pokémon master and the current strongest champion nominee.

Although the two sides are already earnestly commanding, neither side has yet come up with their trump card. For the general audience, the previous rounds of Vulcan Moth and Charizard should have been shocking enough, but after seeing Vulcan Moth's real Ma Li realized that neither Dan Di nor Bai Chen was in the state of going all out at that time, but even in that state, their strength was still unmatched by her.

Defeat Emperor Dan?

Maybe Mary still had this idea before, but now she has put away this idea for the time being, maybe her own restraint will make it difficult for Bai Chen to understand, because he has been encouraging her eyes to look at the closest thing. It's far away, but now Mary just wants to do her best step by step.

"Tomorrow, don't be late."

Ma Li put down the knife and fork, looked at Bai Chen seriously, and said what she wanted after the compromise.

"Tomorrow, I will win all the victories, so I must come to the scene! No matter how sleepy I am, I will come!"

"..."

Really, I have grown up.

There was relief in Bai Chen's eyes. Even though he had seen Ma Li's character growth in the past two days, when he heard Ma Li express her thoughts to him in such a tone, Bai Chen would still feel relieved. So emotional.

"Of course, I won't be late. I need to win, otherwise I'll just make this trip for nothing."

Bai Chen responded with a smile, while Xiao You, who was sitting next to Ma Li, became frightened for some reason. She looked at Ma Li, then at Bai Chen, but in the end she still didn't say what she wanted to say.

.......

679 Semi-finals, tense first round

The next day, in the morning.

The most exciting competition is finally going to start here.

Because of his outstanding performance in the past, Xiaoyou successfully obtained the status of a seed player and directly advanced to the championship competition. In this morning's competition, whoever can win between Xiaoyou and Qibana can participate in the afternoon competition. In the final.

Although the situation on the scene the day before was also very hot, but recently, maybe it was affected by the finals, or just more people heard the storytelling experience brought to them by the audience, the scene was already crowded early in the morning. full of people.The spectators who came here to watch the two most important games have squeezed all the way from the front fence of the huge exhibition hall to the intersection. There is not even a little space for people to walk in the aisle of the stands. How important is words.

However, in this crowded scene, there is still such an open space that belongs to only one type of people, and that type of people is called——

Phantom.

"Ah! I'm so nervous! I'm going to fight against the hateful Chibana! Can Miss Mary really win..."

Today, because of the relationship between Mary and Spike Town, or the "enemies" of Spike Arena, the battle between Chibana, everyone in the Shouting Team got up early in the morning, and came to the scene when it was still daylight to wait. With the opening of the arena, they took a relatively front position as a matter of course, and they could cheer for Mary in front.

Same as the situation on the first day, because of the strange attire of the shouting team, the surrounding audience did not dare to come around. Miraculously, there was a small space around the shouting team, and Bai Chen sat in the aisle where there was a vacant seat. party.

"Ugh......"

Feeling the gazes from all directions, Bai Chen also sighed helplessly, today's situation is worse than yesterday, although he did enjoy the benefits brought by the weirdness, but he has to be watched by the entire scene in the front row , It was still a bit too uncomfortable.

"Used to it."

At this time, Nie Zi, who was sitting next to Bai Chen, suddenly said this. Although he seemed to want to comfort Bai Chen a little, no matter what, Bai Chen didn't feel comforted, but felt a little sad.

"It should be enough to bear it. There will be no such opportunity in the future. Speaking of which, as the owner of the museum, you should take good care of the people in Spike Town."

"That's why I can't help it. They won't change themselves unless Mary insists that they dress up more normally. The residents of Spike Town are so unique."

"This is called distinctive? Hmm... It seems that I should really say that..."

After thinking about it carefully, Bai Chen really can't think of anyone who dresses up like the shouting team. If this can be called a feature, then Bai Chen really has nothing to refute.

Just as the two were saying this, the members of the shouting team suddenly cheered, followed by the eruption of the entire venue.

"Miss Mary!!!"

"Mr. Chibana!!!"

The cheers at the scene were obviously divided into two parts, one side was mainly cheered by men who supported Mali, and the other side was cheered by women who mainly supported Qibana.

There is no way, the reason for this kind of differentiation is also very normal, just like in the Sinnoh regional championship match, every time those who support Sirona and those who support Wu Song will be clearly divided into two factions, although everyone also agrees. They are all people who love Pokémon battles, but appearance is still a very important part in Pokémon battles, especially in the voices that support themselves.

Under the cheers of the crowd, Mary and Qibana, who were wearing competitive uniforms, also walked out of the passage and stood on both sides of the battlefield.

Today's battlefield is a green grass field, and there is no special advantage for both sides. What they have to compete here is simply the command ability of the trainer and the strength of their respective Pokémon. Here they have no way out.

"The players on both sides please take their positions! Choose the heads and tails of the coin! Decide the right of first move!"

"front."

"Then I'll be on the other side."

In the referee's voice, Mali and Chibana each chose heads and tails, and then the coin fell on the screen, and finally the direction of the coin was heads.

"Contestant Marie goes first! Both sides send Pokémon one after another!"

After saying this, the referee retreated to the rear platform, and began to pay attention to the choices of Ma Li and Qibana.

"call."

Mary didn't expect that she would win the front again today. This year's competition seemed to win every time she chose. Should this be called luck?

Ma Li looked at Chibana, who was calm but still fighting, and couldn't help shaking her head.

No...it has nothing to do with luck!It has nothing to do with the pros and cons of the coin, as long as you do what you can and try your best to defeat your opponent!

After a whole day of fighting yesterday, Mary's condition has become more and more stable. Although she still hesitated in the first round against Peter, she is now completely familiar with this kind of scene and this kind of situation. fought.

"Then... please! Rogue crocodile!"

"Did you really choose this guy?" Looking at the rogue crocodile standing on the grass and staring at him with his arms folded, Qibana laughed and threw his precious ball as if enjoying himself. "Fight! Pangyan Monster!"

"Rogue crocodile vs Pang Yan monster? Is it true or not?"

"Haha! Mr. Chibana is waiting for such a battle! He likes to play such Pokémon in the back to compete with the opponent!"

Qibana's choice of Pangyan monster seems to be affirmed by the audience. You must know that Qibana's fighting style is to accept everything head-on. He does not hide or dodge, and the comparison is a will.

And when everyone saw that Ma Li's initial choice was the rogue crocodile, they had already guessed that Chibana would pick such a heavyweight character as Pang Yanguai to face it head-on.

Both sides are good at close combat, and they are both Pokmon that are distributed in the Hezhong area. The first round of the battle is already so interesting, and the audience's emotions will naturally rise a lot.

Is it really Pang Yan monster?

Looking at Qibana's choice, Ma Li felt a little relieved in her heart. She was also the one who faced Qibana head-on, so she naturally knew what Qibana's fighting style was like.Her rogue crocodile is the kind of Pokémon that has its own ideas. It will always come up with some strange operations in battle. Although it is effective most of the time, there are also some rogue crocodiles who play themselves into it. Therefore, the rogue crocodile should not actually be the first Pokmon to go into battle.

but--

When you are prepared, everything will be different.

Mary thought so.

.......

680 Mary VS Qibana ([-])

The first round of battle has started for a while, about 5 minutes have passed, the battle between the two sides should be regarded as quite satisfactory?In terms of passion, it is indeed very passionate, because from the beginning, Mary and Qibana chose to confront each other head-on, neither of them would give in to the other, and the rogue crocodile and Pang Yan monster continued to attack head-on like enemies Standing, competing with pure strength.

However, what is unexpected is that the Pangyan monster in Qibana should have been cultivated for a longer time, but the Pangyan monster seemed to be faintly crushed by the rogue crocodile in the collision of power, and it was a rogue several times The crocodile took the initiative to push the Pang Yan monster away. This kind of ending really surprised the audience.

Is Qibana's Pang Yan strangely weak?That is definitely not weak. Countless challengers have been defeated by this Pangyan monster. Under the obstruction of Pangyan monster, there are very few trainers who can force Qibana to take out the aluminum steel dragon. There are very few of them.

but……

What happened today?Obviously both Qibana and Pangyan Monster are in good condition, and they are constantly trying to attack, but their attacks are defeated by the rogue crocodile time and time again.

"earthquake!"

Mary calmly gave instructions to the rogue crocodile. After blocking the Pangyan monster's attack again, the rogue crocodile began to switch from attack to defense. His right leg fell heavily towards the ground, and then the entire green grass field began to violently explode. shake.

"earthquake!"

Facing another round of attacks from the rogue crocodile, Chibana still insisted on his own fighting style. As long as it was a frontal confrontation, he must not be afraid, and as long as he had the same skills, he must face head-to-head with the opponent.

It may be true to say that Chibana is stubborn. After all, judging from Chibana's strength, if he can relax his "principle" a little in many situations, then his winning rate should be higher than usual There are many.

However, if the choice can be easily changed, is it still called a principle?At least Chibana is not willing to accept such a choice. In his opinion, the most exciting part of a Pokémon battle is the full-blooded frontal collision. If you always take this into consideration and worry about that during the battle, what else is there in the game? What do you mean?

From the perspective of stubbornness, maybe he and Nie Zi are also the same kind of people.

"boom!"
