I, the Pokémon Master, now resign

Inexplicably changing terrain and malfunctioning machines?

If you don't know the real situation, everything that Ueda Shin said seems to be going in the direction of supernatural powers, but Bai Chen, who has traveled abroad for many years and experienced big and small battles, especially the battle with divine beasts, is wrinkled He frowned, as if he had sensed the real situation behind this incident.

"If that's the case..." Mary, who felt a little hairy because of Ueda Makoto's words, raised her own question at this moment. "Why don't you find someone to investigate directly inside?"

What Mary said is of course very reasonable. In addition to the normal departmental organization, the current large companies will actually set up an organization similar to the combat organization, which will recruit some trainers who have signed contracts with the company. The company provides them with combat power when they need it, and the rise of this phenomenon is actually related to the raging situation of evil e organizations in various places. Now, although the evil e organizations on the surface in various places have been almost wiped out, such xi The custom is still retained, but most of the retained subjects are companies with sufficient idle funds.

"Ugh......"

Only Ueda really sighed again.

"Of course we took action on this. On the same day, the contracted trainers of our company went to the iceberg ruins with the investigators. After confirming that there was a problem with the machine, the trainers entered the ruins together to prepare for on-site detection."

At this time, Ueda's tone seemed to be full of helplessness and heartache. I don't know if he recalled the tragedy of that day, but he slowly shook his head and said: "At least all the trainers in our company have scored Among the top 32 people, the leading trainer was a person who reached the finals at the Lily of the Valley Conference five years ago. His strength is naturally guaranteed, but after such a team entered the iceberg ruins, it was less than 10 minutes. Accompanied by continuous explosions, they all fled out, more than ten people and nearly sixty Pokémon were wiped out, and according to them, they didn't even see the shadow of the enemy."

What Ueda really said is a bit unbelievable. After all, according to what he said, if everyone has at least the top 32 level of the league conference, it should be impossible to encounter such a defeat when facing wild Pokémon.

"Close to sixty Pokémon... all defeated in 10 minutes?!"

Even Ma Li, who always had a calm expression, was a little moved at this time. Such a lineup would have no power to fight back against that unknown opponent. This is definitely a heavy blow for her who is currently eager to become stronger. news.

Bai Chen's eyes were slightly closed, he didn't know what he was thinking, but Ueda Zhen said anxiously when he saw that Bai Chen hadn't expressed his opinion: "Our company can't find a trainer who can survey the terrain. If the terrain of that area has not been successfully explored, our Pokémon watch will really not be able to be launched... And at this moment, I thought of Mr. Bai Chen, the Pokémon you cultivated seem to be not easy, That's why I came here to ask you... May I ask if you think such a commission is possible..."

Having said that, Ueda fell silent.

On the one hand, he really hoped that Bai Chen could take over the entrustment, but on the other hand, he only had impression points of Bai Chen's strength. Facing such a continuous defeat of sixty Pokmon, even the main body had never shown terror. Enemy, he was not sure whether Bai Chen, whom he had hoped for, could defeat him. If Bai Chen said that he had no other way, he would not make things difficult for him. After all, the danger of this entrustment was indeed placed here.

The surrounding environment suddenly became quieter.

After a long time, Bai Chen finally opened his eyes. Under Ueda's expectant eyes, Bai Chen slowly said:

"I accept this commission."

093 Arrival in Celebration City

In the afternoon of the next day, on the outskirts of Shuran Town, several regular customers gathered in front of Shuran Cafe. All the customers folded their arms and looked at the bulletin board in front of them, all of them seemed a little speechless.

【Due to the entrustment of Wanshiwu, our store is temporarily closed for a few days. Please calm down and see you in a few days. 】

A short sentence, not very lethal, but extremely insulting.

"This guy went fishing again..."

"Didn't it mean that there was an entrustment from Wanshiwu?"

"Damn, you're too naive~ What kind of novel commissions can there be in such a small town? It's just an excuse for the boss~"

"That's to say, from my point of view, maybe Boss Bai Chen took that cute new employee out to play together~ Oh...I'm really envious, I really want to close the store for a few days and go outside for a walk let's go..."

Looking at the signboard called Closure Notice, which is actually a travel notice, the bosses of the various shops present looked at each other, and there was no other emotion in their eyes except envy.

△

Although the entrustment of Wanshiwu is true, it is indeed Bai Chen's idea to travel to other cities in the name of entrustment. It is not a good thing to be so tense all the time.

"There's ice cream there, Mary, do you want to eat it? I heard that the mint ice cream in this store is very popular."

Celebration City is called a happy city by people in the Sinnoh area. Celebration City is the city with the highest level of modernization in the Sinnoh area. There are many large supermarkets and many well-known cross-regional companies in Celebration City. The most famous TV station in the Austrian area was also established in Zhuqing City, and named after the city as Zhuqing TV Station.

But now, Bai Chen and Ma Li are under a tall building in the west of Zhuqing City. While waiting for Ueda Makoto to contact the boss of the Pokémon Watch Company, the two are waiting downstairs of the Pokémon Watch Company. each other's news.

"Hmm... I'm in trouble..." Mary nodded slightly in agreement.

"Well, sorry, one with strawberry and one with mint."

The ice cream cart is only a few steps away from their location, as long as they are a little louder, the people in the ice cream cart can hear the customer's request.

"Okay, a strawberry and a mint one? Coming soon!"

As promised, a head poked out from inside the ice cream truck, it was a fancy-dressed clown with a red nose.

"?!..."

Ma Li, who didn't react for a while, was taken aback by the image of the clown, while Bai Chen laughed a few times from the side, as if Ma Li's reaction had long been within his expectations.

"Hmm..." After knowing that she had fallen for Bai Chen, Ma Li puffed her cheeks in dissatisfaction, like a greedy chinchilla hiding food and getting angry. "You already knew that, didn't you?"

"Hahaha~ Don't be angry."

Bai Chen managed to stop his tears. After all, it was rare to see Ma Li, who was always expressionless and serious at all times, showing such a frightened expression.

"I just want to show you the customs of Zhuqing City. Although it is a modern city, it doesn't look like some "dead modern cities". On the contrary, the interior of Zhuqing City should be considered very Be energetic, many internal staff will wear clown costumes like this to buy ice cream or perform in their spare time, and some will bring prizes to play quizzes with passers-by~ Maybe it’s also the credit of these clowns , the people in Zhuqing City should be said to be very energetic and hospitable~"

"Well......"

Although she knew that Bai Chen was changing the topic, Ma Li couldn't find a suitable reason to continue the topic, so she could only continue to stare at Bai Chen with eyes full of resentment until——

"The two ice creams you want are ready, please come and get them—!"

The clown poked his head out again, lightly waved the two ready-made ice creams in his hand, and shouted to Bai Chen.

"Come on~"

Bai Chen also replied in the same way, and then walked towards the ice cream truck.

Looking at Bai Chen's back, Ma Li's thoughts drifted a little. Ever since Bai Chen accepted the commission that day, Ma Li had been thinking about some issues, among which, why Bai Chen took the commission was always dominant. .

When the man with glasses mentioned the specific circumstances of this commission, he had already indicated that the trip to the iceberg ruins was very dangerous. In Mary's view, no matter what the circumstances were, this commission should be handed over to the Alliance, or Wouldn't it be better to leave it to those more professional archaeological teams who visited the ruins?

Although I don't know whether Bai Chen's strength can handle this matter, from Ma Li's point of view, Bai Chen's standard of accepting the commission seems... a little strange?

"Your ice cream~ By the way, what are you thinking? A frowning look?"

"thanks..."

After receiving the mint-flavored ice cream from Bai Chen, Ma Li licked it, and felt the fresh mint flavor spreading in her mouth along with bursts of coolness, and her impetuous mood finally eased somewhat. Taking advantage of this time, she finally asked her own question: "Well... why did you choose to accept this commission? Isn't this commission... very dangerous... The opponent is an unknown Pokémon, and has Can you easily defeat [-] Pokémon at the level of the Alliance Conference... or in your opinion, does this kind of strength belong to... the category that can be solved relatively easily?"

"Huh? Is it because of this little thing that caused you to look a little weird since yesterday? I thought what happened..."

Bai Chen shrugged resentfully, seeing Ma Li's condition yesterday seemed a little bad, and thought she was sick, it turned out to be such a trivial matter.

"But...is this very important?"

Bai Chen couldn't help sighing at Ma Li's persistence.

"If it is a normal situation, it is indeed better to entrust this matter to another place, but this entrustment is not a normal situation... There are some things that I still need to solve, because if this matter is really handed over If it is given to others, even if it can be resolved in the end, I am afraid it will only treat the symptoms and not the root cause."

"Cure the symptoms, not the root cause... don't tell me, Mr. Bai Chen, do you know the truth of this matter?!"

"After all, I have studied a lot of ancient legends, I have also studied ancient characters, and I have read a lot of ancient inscriptions, so of course I have a certain understanding of this aspect."

Bai Chen smiled and stretched out his hand to make a little gap between his thumb and index finger, saying "self-effacing".

"Anyway, you'll know when you get there. I have to go get a Pokémon after that. Now...huh? Mr. Ueda is back, eat ice cream quickly, or others will have to wait for a long time."

Saying this, Bai Chen quickly finished eating the ice cream in his hand, clutching his slightly aching head from the ice, and trotted all the way to Ueda Ma who was walking towards this side.

......

094 Unfulfilled commission

Poké Watch Company, a company established only two years ago, the company sold simple and ordinary watches related to Pokémon in the early days. After the company reached a certain scale, the company began to sell electronic watches. Because of the quality Higher, cheaper and other factors, the products sold by Poké Watch Company are generally well received.

And relying on such a steady and steady marketing strategy, Poké Watch Company also ushered in an expansion this year, and with the expansion came a brand new product they announced to be released soon-"Pokémon Watch"

Although there is nothing special about the name, the function of Pokémon watch can definitely be regarded as cross-age. In addition to the time function of ordinary watches, Pokémon watch also has map function, calculator, Notebook, counter, and the acclaimed coin toss feature.

Not only that, according to the promotion of Pokémon Company, the function of this product is still in the expansion stage. As long as you purchase the Pokémon Watch, all the new functions launched by the Pokémon Watch in the future can be obtained by upgrading the system. In this regard, Pokémon Watch can definitely be called a conscientious product that attracts customers.

"At present, Baoke Watch Company only has three simple floors. The first floor is the sales floor, the second floor is the living floor, and the third floor is the office floor and the R&D floor."

When walking up the stairs, Ueda began to briefly introduce the company's structure to Bai Chen and Ma Li.

Although it is only a newly built company, the company is only a three-story structure. Compared with other buildings in Zhuqing City, Baoke Watch Company may not be grand, but the internal structure of this company can It can be called excellent.

"This is our company's cafeteria. Although it's not too big, the food inside is very delicious, and the price is much cheaper than other restaurants in Zhuqing City. It can be said to be quite favorable. If not Because this commission is relatively urgent, I should be able to catch up with the dinner in the cafeteria."

Ueda really smiled apologetically, but Ma Li and Bai Chen didn't mind much, after all, the food they usually ate was quite delicious, and in such a comparison, the restaurants outside were relatively less attractive. It's just that occasionally there will be a strong desire to eat something outside, just like Bai Chen's appearance at the ramen shop.

Continuing to walk upwards, a few people came to the office area on the third floor of the company. The office area is different from the spaciousness of the second floor. The entire third floor is divided into several corridors, and the corridors meet each other. There is no such thing as the second floor. It feels spacious, walking along the wall, there are offices with closed doors everywhere, and the signs on the doors indicate what kind of function this room carries.

"It's unexpectedly a bit depressing..." Bai Chen couldn't help saying that as he felt a strong working atmosphere coming from the tightly closed room.

"Because it seemed that the living place on the second floor was too comfortable when designing, so when designing the office space on the third floor, the corridor was specially designed in this way, but although it looks depressing from the outside, But each office has all the lighting and facilities, so it’s quite comfortable.”

Ueda really adjusted his glasses, and explained to Bai Chen with a smile.

Mary, who had never seen these before, didn't make a sound along the way, she just looked around with curious eyes.

△

"We're here, it's here."

After walking for about 2 minutes, the three of them finally arrived at the door of an office in the deepest part of the office area after passing the intersection of countless corridors in circles. The two-character signboard represents the identity of the person who usually works in this room.

"Bang Bang~"

Ueda really knocked on the door twice, and asked inside: "I have brought Mr. Bai Chen, may I come in now?"

Accompanied by his question, a steady voice came from inside the house:

"Please come in."

Although the other party has tried to maintain restraint, Bai Chen can still tell from the other party's tone that the chairman's mood seems not to be very good.

The door was gently pushed open, and Bai Chen and Ma Li saw the true face of the chairman.

He is slightly obese, but his face is very clean. It can be seen that his appearance should not be bad when he was young, but the sweat oozing from the chairman's forehead seems to show his anxious mood at the moment.

"Are you Mr. Bai Chen? Please sit down!"

The moment he saw Bai Chen, the chairman hurried forward to support Bai Chen, and pressed him on the sofa at the side of the office. Seeing this, Ma Li just blinked her eyes, and followed all the way , and sat beside Bai Chen.

"By the way, sorry, please allow me to introduce myself first. My name is Keigo, and I am the founder of Poké Watch Company. Hello."

"Bai Chen, please feel free to be the owner of the Master's House... um... the boss."

Although Bai Chen is used to being called the boss, Bai Chen still can't help but feel a little strange when introducing himself as the boss to others, especially when the other party is really the boss of a company with a certain scale.

"Yes, I heard from Ueda...Although it may be a little anxious to say this, but I would like to ask...do you still feel capable of handling this matter after learning the true story of the whole incident?"

"...Before that..." Bai Chen hesitated for a moment, and asked slowly, "I want to know, what do you think of the relationship between humans and Pokémon?"

"Ok?"

Keigo couldn't help being stunned for a moment when he heard Bai Chen's seemingly strange question, but he answered honestly according to what he asked: "Based on the relationship between people and Pokémon in today's society... it should be Is it a symbiotic partnership?"

"What do you think of this statement?" Bai Chen asked immediately.

"Well... If I want to say it, I personally agree with this view, and not only me, but everyone in our company thinks so, otherwise the Pokémon watch would not have come out."

"Is that so..."

Bai Chen nodded, pondered for a while, then got up with a satisfied smile and said, "If that's the case, I think it's better for me to tell the truth about it. If my judgment is correct, whoever went to the ruins of the iceberg The trainer should have destroyed the relationship between people and Pokmon, so they will be retaliated by Pokmon, and the current iceberg ruins are already in a state where humans are prohibited from entering, and for me, I can't complete it. The entrustment you are looking forward to."

......

095 Or, how about we change the form of commission?

"can not complete?"

After hearing what Bai Chen said, the chairman couldn't help but lowered his head in frustration. He kept scratching his hair with both hands, which was enough to see his helplessness.

"Bai...Mr. Baichen? Didn't you say that when you were in Wanshiwu?! Didn't you say that this was within your ability? Why did you change your mind when you got here?!"

Seeing his boss's appearance, Ueda really couldn't keep his composure anymore, and anxiously asked Bai Chen the reason for saying that.

On the other side, Bai Chen, who realized that there might be some problems with his statement, smiled a little embarrassedly, and then explained: "I'm sorry to make you misunderstand, what I mean is that I can't complete what you hoped to see in the content of your commission. It's just the best ending."

"?" Guiwu calmed down after hearing Bai Chen's explanation, and asked with some doubts: "You mean...?"

"Cough cough..."

Knowing that the next topic was going to be a more serious topic, Bai Chen also cleared his throat with a serious expression on his face.

"I can calm down the riots that exist in the iceberg ruins, that is to say, I can stop the Pokémon inside from attacking humans like they are now, but the topographic map of the iceberg ruins you want... forgive me It cannot be completed, and if possible, I hope that you can erase the iceberg ruins from the map when you put the Pokémon watch on the shelves, because no one can guarantee that the relationship between the people in the ruins and the Pokémon will not be broken again , to repeat this tragedy.”

"..."

After listening to Bai Chen's explanation, Keigo and Ueda Shin at the side fell into silence.

In fact, they had already considered this situation when the incident happened. After all, the iceberg ruins are not newly unearthed ancient ruins, and they are full of unknowns and dangers. This ruin has been thoroughly investigated many years ago, even There were countless trainers coming and going. It was such a place where there should be no danger, but something happened at this time. There is no doubt that the injured trainer angered the Pokémon inside.

In addition, although they can't explain why there is such a large deviation in the terrain detected by the machine every time, but the so-called "murderer" who defeated their company's trainer organization, in fact, they speculate that they may have lived in the iceberg for a long time. Wild Pokémon in the ruins.
