I, the Pokémon Master, now resign

Seeing that Bai Chen fell silent, Sakagi on the other side of the phone continued: "Of course, as a teacher, after seeing his student win the league championship, he wants to spend more time with her and encourage her. Normally, even if I put myself in my shoes, I’m afraid I’ll have similar thoughts. However, before my personal wish, I’m the leader of Team Rocket, the owner of Viridian Gym, and you are the former magical Master Baby, the answer doesn’t really need to be asked.”

Bai Chen was silent for a moment, then sighed heavily: "Yes, there is no need to ask again, to be honest, even I feel annoying when I ask this sentence."

Bai Chen agreed with Sakamu's point of view, and even he felt a little bored with himself in his heart.

In the final analysis, a large part of the reason why he acted so dawdly this time was also because he always had a bad premonition in his heart.

As for the sixth sense, Bai Chen has never denied its role, especially his own sixth sense, which saved his life in many dangerous situations.However, along with his retreat, his sixth sense also tended to disappear, and it hadn't appeared for a long time. If he had to say it, it was just a faint feeling when he was fighting with the Milky Way.

But now...

Bai Chen put the back of his hand on his chest, closed his eyes and could clearly feel that the beating speed of his heart was different from normal times, and the feeling of heart palpitations had also appeared for several days, which was worse than ever before. Notable signs.

"Hehe, knowing that you are annoying now is a kind of progress. If you had agreed to my plan at that time, maybe you have grown to another peak now."

"Scheme? Can that kind of unrealistic and nonsensical thing be called a plan?"

Bai Chen mercilessly belittled the proposal proposed by Sakamu at the beginning.

But this is not to blame him for belittling Sakagi's plan. In fact, that plan is simply a fantasy. According to Sakagi's meaning, if he really agrees, he will try to wake up all the sleeping top Pokmon. Then pit yourself against them to break through existing barriers.

Of course, it is impossible for him to agree to such a lunatic plan.

but......

"hiss?"

Bai Chen took a deep breath.

If you think about it this way, it seems that you have fought many top legendary Pokémon now?Yoshien's Gaioka is counted as one, Gulardo is not counted because he is on his side, and then there are Dialga and Palkiya from the Sinnoh area......

And when he returned to the Hezhong area later, he might have to compete with Kyurem. Looking at it this way, it seems that things are really developing in the direction proposed by Sakagi?

"Forget it, in short, I will get on the plane early tomorrow morning, and I can arrive the day after tomorrow at the latest. During this period, you should continue to study your findings in depth... This will also save time. Who knows that this time we Who is the enemy we are going to face? I hope this time the injury will be lighter, I don't want to lie in the hospital for another month."

"Hehe, of course, I'm looking forward to it."

"You'd better not have such boring expectations all the time..."

"That can't be done. Apart from looking forward to these things, I have nothing else to do now."

After Sakagi finished speaking, the two of them hung up the phone tacitly one after another. They also knew that even if they continued to chat, there would be no results, and at most they were just chatting for self-esteem.

It's a bit miraculous to say that Bai Chen's nervous mood unexpectedly calmed down a lot after the phone call. Should it be said that Sakagi's speech skills are better?At least in this respect, Bai Chen still admires him very much. In terms of speech skills and ability to deal with things, Sakagi is the top existence among the people he knows, otherwise he would not have made such a dangerous decision back then Come.

"I hope I won't be too surprised by then."

Bai Chen laughed at himself, of course he hoped that his sixth sense made a big mistake this time, in fact, what he had to face was only slightly troublesome things, and there was no need to risk his life to deal with.

but......

is it possible?

Bai Chen touched his still aching shoulder, recalling the scene of being attacked earlier, so he put away his smiling face, his face was gloomy and he didn't know what he was thinking, and just walked towards his shoulder without saying a word. room to go.

But Bai Chen didn't realize from the beginning to the end that when he was talking with Sakamu, Ma Li stayed outside the door. Even Ma Li didn't think that she just came out to take a breath and relax, and she wasn't completely calm yet. Just in his heart, he unexpectedly heard Bai Chen's words.

"Wounded... lay down for a month...."

Ma Li muttered the last sentence Bai Chen said. Although the words were short, there was a lot of information revealed in them.

If you combine the time and content of the communication between yourself and Bai Chen before, the information disclosed by Bai Chen can be completely matched.

That is to say, what Bai Chen said earlier was that he was going to be hospitalized?And the little things he said were just to make himself feel at ease?

Ma Li suddenly felt a little sore on the tip of her nose. After all, it seems that the reason why Bai Chen was able to come here to watch her game was not because he was busy with his work, but because he just came out of the hospital...he will be in the hospital Lying down for a month is definitely not a minor injury, obviously he has come to the scene to watch his game with such exhaustion, and he treats him...

"Why... why did you do those things..."

Marie curled up in the corner with a lost expression. She buried her head in her knees and suddenly felt like crying.

Thinking back now, how could I believe Bai Chen's words that he was fine so easily?Obviously she has already seen the current tragedy in the Sinnoh area on TV, the battle must have been fierce at that time, even Sirona said in an interview that her life was almost in danger, and Bai Chen, as the miraculous Master Baby, the place of battle must be more dangerous than Sirona, he likes to put himself on the front line, obviously Mary knows this.

but.

Why is it?

What made her subconsciously ignore these things?Is it because of Bai Chen's own "confession"?Or is it because Ma Li has too much trust in Bai Chen's strength?

Mary doesn't know either, maybe both, but Mary thinks the latter should be more important.

But even so, she was the one who was wrong, and this will not change.She couldn't use these two reasons as an excuse for herself. If she really trusted Bai Chen, she should have said what he said before - "Of course I can't beat the top legendary Pokmon" - this Just keep the words in your heart.

There are Gulardo and Kyoka in the front, and Dialga and Palkia in the back.

Which of these four Pokémon is not powerful enough to have a huge impact on the world?Fighting against such an opponent, even if the Pokémon Master comes, it won't work...

"What the hell am I doing?"

Ma Li continued to question herself, logically speaking, she should be more mature now than before, but even she herself, just before she overheard Bai Chen's call, she didn't realize that she In fact, now he is just playing with his petty temper, and is basically acting like a baby with Bai Chen.

She thought, maybe she would do such a behavior because she knew that no matter what she did, Bai Chen would not be angry with herself... It was because of this layer of preference that she would do it show such a performance.

It's just so stupid...

Mary, who was squatting on the ground, looked up at the starry sky above, and her thoughts became active, or jumped up.

If... Bai Chen was really killed in this turmoil in the Sinnoh area, how would he feel?

Annoyance and regret should be necessary, but if such a situation really happened, Mary would probably hate herself for the rest of her life because of her performance today.

"What should I do..."

At this moment, Mary didn't know who to turn to for help, she just stared blankly at the night sky, thinking and sad alone.

......

But at this moment, in the room on the second floor of the Pokémon Center, Bai Chen, who was already lying on the bed, did not close the curtains, nor did he close his eyes. body.

The days of leisure are over, and from tomorrow onwards he has to devote himself to another more intense and dangerous activity.

He sat up, picked up the Pokémon ball on the bed, picked up the handkerchief on the bed, and began to wipe them.

"So people are still social, right? The more things you worry about, the more you will feel constrained. Obviously, I used to be so courageous, as if it didn't matter who the opponent was, but now I can even face an unknown enemy. Feeling scared...is this considered weakness..."

Bai Chen was talking to Sovereign Snake's baby ball, but he didn't expect the baby ball to give him an answer. After talking to himself, he continued to wipe the baby ball in his hand. , waiting for the dawn.

……

695 Farewell and Confession

"Ha~~"

In the early morning of the next day, near Gongmen City Airport, Bai Chen covered his mouth with his hands while yawning.

Yesterday, Wan Wan wanted to wipe those precious balls and go to sleep, but what he didn't expect was that after doing all this, instead of being sleepy, he became more awake, so Bai Chen just stared at it quietly. Stared at the ceiling of the Pokémon Center room all night.

But the strange thing is that even though he didn't sleep all night, Bai Chen doesn't feel too sleepy now, except for yawning, he doesn't feel much sleepiness, maybe it's because Bai Chen knows that he has to leave early in the morning. ?

People will subconsciously enter a hyperactive state every day before such a critical moment, which is unavoidable, and Bai Chen didn't specifically ask Darkley to take another shot yesterday, forcing himself into a sleep state, After all, I still have plenty of time to sleep when I get on the plane the next day.

"Did you not rest last night? I think your biological clock is out of order? If you continue to maintain this routine, your physical condition will become very bad."

Walking on the road, Nie Zi advised Bai Chen so.

"Don't slander people. My biological clock is very stable and healthy when I have nothing to do. It's just that I can't sleep for two days for no reason. It should be fine after I go back~ And if I remember correctly, your biological clock is normal. It seems to be more chaotic than me, right?"

"Musician, understand, my rock'n' roll passion only kicks in at midnight, and I'm used to it."

Nie Zi waved at Bai Chen indifferently. Although he seemed to be admonishing Bai Chen on the surface, secretly his eyes were on Ma Li who was following them.

Knowing that Ma Li would be bored by speaking directly, Nie Zi pretended to be indifferent and said, "What's the matter with you? Did you also suffer from insomnia last night?"

"Ah."

Ma Li rubbed the corners of her somewhat sore eyes, and replied lightly.

Of course Marie suffered from insomnia last night, she stayed up all night like Bai Chen, originally she was in a state of excitement after winning the championship, but when she found out about Bai Chen's situation later, her mood was in a state of excitement Then it turned into sadness and self-blame. It's a bit strange to be able to sleep in this situation.

"..."

After hearing what Nie Zi said, Bai Chen didn't forget to look back at Ma Li, but Ma Li, who had lowered her head, quickly looked away when she saw Bai Chen turn her head.

Ma Li's actions made Bai Chen feel a little puzzled, after all, no matter how he thought, he didn't seem to make her unhappy anymore, did he?Except for the fact that I'm leaving today...

However, Bai Chen is also very helpless about this. Of course he wants to stay here for a while if he can, but the discovery mentioned by Sakagi makes him no longer able to sit here and wait for death, whether it is a predicted crisis or a potential danger. , As long as it is detected earlier, the scope of the risk can be reduced a little more.

"Well......"

After feeling that Bai Chen's gaze on her was withdrawn again, Ma Li let out a low moan in annoyance.

She has been thinking about it all night, but she still hasn't figured out what to do, how to apologize.

If you want to give Bai Chen something... let alone whether Bai Chen will be short of something at this point, even if she wants to buy it, she can't help it. Most gift shops don't open in the middle of the night. And Bai Chen was leaving early this morning, and she didn't have time to buy some gifts in the morning.

As for apologizing...

It should be needed, right?But Ma Li was afraid that her apology would be too abrupt. If she wanted to apologize, she should apologize for being awkward, and she didn't want to disappoint Bai Chen's kindness. Knowing that he was hurt, the content of the apology is also worth considering here.

It's hard.

Mary sighed inwardly.

Compared with herself, Xiaoyou is obviously better at doing this kind of thing. Originally, she could have discussed it with Xiaoyou, but Xiaoyou said early this morning that she had something to do, as if she was going to grab a ticket for something?It is said that it is a ticket to an island, so Xiaoyou can't come to send Bai Chen with him this morning, let alone come with her, when I first saw her this morning, I even had time to say good morning , Xiaoyou hastily explained his situation, and then left quickly.

She has no experience and can't find a military adviser to the outside world, so it's no wonder that Ma Li looks so haggard.

.......

Along the way, apart from Nie Zi, Bai Chen and Ma Li each had their own concerns, and most of the conversations on the road were brought up by Nie Zi. Although his personality is not very talkative, compared to such a quiet atmosphere, he would rather let the It would be difficult for him to say a few more words to refresh the atmosphere.

Although the distance from Gongmen City Center to Gongmen Airport is not particularly close, it is definitely not far away. It is only a 40-minute journey from the Pokémon Center. Although this journey made Nie Zi feel a little tired Yes, but for Mary, who was distracted during the whole journey, these 40 minutes seemed to be just a blink of an eye.

Standing outside the airport, Bai Chen lifted his bag up a bit, and then began to say goodbye to Nie Zi and Ma Li.

"It's good to be here, I'll go first~ I'll come over to have fun next time I have a chance, this time is indeed a bit of a pity."

"It's really a busy person. You are so busy even though you have already retired. I can't even imagine if you didn't choose to leave, would you replace Sirona's title of ultimate social animal?"

"Of course it's impossible, because I will leave unimportant things to Sirona, so if I hadn't retired, Sirona should be busier than now."

Bai Chen said with a smile without conscience, if Sirona had heard Bai Chen's speech, I'm afraid the scene would have fallen into an even more terrifying fight.

"Then I'm leaving. Although it's a bit regretful this time, I couldn't congratulate you more here. You won the championship in the first year of your debut... Logically speaking, it shouldn't even be a simple congratulations. It is right to give you a big gift, but due to time constraints, there is no other way, so I have to postpone it to a later date, sorry."

Bai Chen smiled awkwardly, he felt that the reason why Ma Li was still silent now was because she was sulking at herself.He also knew that Mary, as the protagonist of his trip, should receive more attention and care, but from the results, it seemed that he just came here to eat and drink a celebration banquet and was about to leave in a hurry Well, it's obvious that Ma Li has been looking forward to her arrival all along, but I haven't been able to prepare any surprises for her, even a little bit.

This time, it was true that what I did was too rough, and it was right for Mary to be angry.

"Next time, next time I will make up for the gift I should have prepared for you this time, and by the way, I will also owe you this time......"

"wrong!"

"?!"

Ma Li's sudden utterance startled both Bai Chen and Nie Zi. At first, Bai Chen thought Ma Li was throwing a tantrum, but the next moment he realized that he seemed to have misunderstood.

"You don't owe me anything, on the contrary, I owe you too much..."

Mary lowered her head, her voice sounded very low, as if she was angry with herself.

Both Bai Chen and Nie Zi fell silent, they just stared at Ma Li who bowed her head with eyes of both surprise and doubt, and Ma Li also slowly spoke out what was in her heart.

"You don't owe me anything, the reason why I can achieve what I am today is completely inseparable from your help..."

"Whether it's the real-time guidance you gave me when I was in Random Town, or the fighting skills you casually talked about two nights ago, no matter which one of them is missing, it is impossible for me to win the game. Especially the latter kind of fighting Skills, if you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have been able to push Mr. Chibana to a corner so easily, and I couldn't have prevented Morubeke from Xiaoyou's final blow."

"Obviously you have been helping me, but you came all the way here just to respond to my waywardness... But in the end, I don't know why, instead of thanking you, I started to quarrel, really... really sorry! "

Ma Li lowered her head and apologized to Bai Chen, even though Bai Chen didn't know why she apologized at this time, even he felt that Ma Li didn't need to apologize for such a reason, because——

"It's good to have a little temper once in a while, isn't it? After all, you usually put on a poker face, and you rarely even see mood swings. Being able to express emotions generously is also the most important thing in human beings." It’s a good proof, and it’s also a reflection of your character. Of course, it’s only occasionally, and it’s enough not to become a bad habit that you can’t get rid of.”

Bai Chen didn't feel angry because of Ma Li's tantrum, and Ma Li didn't feel any dissatisfaction because of Bai Chen's departure.They both understood each other in an unexpected way. At the moment of parting, neither of them felt dissatisfied with each other. If they insisted on saying something, maybe it was just a little bit of reluctance in Mary's heart after confessing, but whether it was Ma Li and Bai Chen both firmly believe that one day in the future they can meet again, as long as the journey doesn't stop, the day of reunion will come eventually.

Of course, Nie Zi listened to all the conversations between the two except themselves, and his older brother, Ma Li, was envious of this scene.

Of course he knew his sister's personality, and it was impossible for Mary to say such words to herself, whether she was outside or at home.To say the most sincere thing Marie said to him, I am afraid that after traveling for a year and becoming stronger, she will come back to defeat herself and take over the position of the gymnasium owner.

That's why he feels envious of Bai Chen, but Ma Li has never said anything similar to him, although Ma Li usually helps herself and the members of the shouting team to deal with some small mistakes they made carelessly, But when I helped Ma Li solve the problems she encountered, Ma Li never expressed her gratitude to herself!Could it be that this is something that an older brother has to bear?If this is the case, it would be too sad...

In the end, Ma Li's frankness barely scratched a perfect ending for this hasty goodbye. Watching Bai Chen's disappearing figure, Ma Li murmured in a tone that only she could hear: "Please...be safe..."

The plane departed, taking away Mary's thoughts and prayers.

On the plane, Bai Chen looked at the gradually shrinking Galar continent, closed his eyes and began to rest.

Maybe here, maybe now is his last time in the next few months, or even a year or so, it's a pity to rest in peace.
