I, the Pokémon Master, now resign

'Whether Pokémon or humans are always good and bad'

Bai Chen's words at that time reverberated in its mind again.Indeed, this is a very simple truth, it is not ignorant, and it is the same in the place where it lived at the beginning, they help passers-by by virtue of their natural perception of danger; similarly, there are many pedestrians who have helped them, give them food and something that might be useful...

That period of time was really happy, but... When did such days end?Isn't it good to keep going like this?It and the clansmen obviously did nothing... They just want to help people avoid disasters, but why are they suddenly treated like this?

It really started suddenly. People who passed by in the past would not say that they rejected them even if they didn't say they liked them.But suddenly one day, for some unknown reason, all passers-by avoided them as if they had seen a scourge.

They have also been hesitant, lost, and even more sad and desperate, but then they are obviously working harder to get their love and approval... But why...

That day was its nightmare...that day it will never forget...

Day after day, a group of humans wearing the same uniform invaded their homeland, hurting them with countless weapons they had never seen before, and countless people were treated as garbage by them after being injured. Throw it in a cage and take it away.

……

015 Relief and Hatred

Damn, I remembered what happened back then.

Because I was picking berries outside that night, I came back a little late, and it was precisely because of this rare late return that I survived. Although I was found attacked halfway and stepped on a trap they set up, Familiar with the surrounding terrain, he managed to escape.

With the belief that he must not be caught, he bumped all the way, and finally came here reluctantly, and met the Pokémon in the forest.

They are different from humans. Even if they do not help them, they are willing to find some herbs that can resist toxins and heal wounds for free. If it is not for them, it is still a question of whether they can live now...In such a place far away from human habitation In a place where, I swore not long ago that I would protect the kind Pokémon in this forest and keep all humans out, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this...

This period of recollection didn't last long, at least Baichen and Ayan who stood in front of Absolu didn't notice its abnormality, but felt that some sadness and anger seemed to emanate from it.

But the question still needs to be turned around for a closer look, why does the child in front of him choose to help himself free of charge?Is it because of the inherent kindness of children?

Just like that nasty guy said, people and Pokémon in the world are always mixed with good and bad.Although Absolu has not come into contact with many humans, he is no stranger to Pokémon. There are indeed many Pokémon who like to destroy, and he has stopped such Pokémon.

But even for such existences, they were as kind as angels when they were young, and Absol also had a deep understanding of this.

Now that the words have been said here, things have become clearer.

The child in front of him begged this man to help him out of his natural kindness. Although the method was a bit rough, it was an undeniable fact that they helped him.

The knot in his heart that had been bothering him was untied a little bit. Facing Ayan's worried gaze, Absolu did not choose to avoid it, but groaned softly, and lowered his head towards him, obviously Expressing my gratitude.

"?!"

Ah Yan's immature face turned rosy instantly after seeing Absolu thanking him, obviously feeling embarrassed.

"That, that...no...it's okay! After all, Mr. Bai Chen is the one who helped you, not me...I just helped to provide information..."

Ah Yan's voice became smaller and smaller. Although he was not shy when he came to the entrustment of Wanshiwu, did he show his own character at this time?

Looking at A Yan who kept his head down and didn't dare to look at Absolu from the beginning to the end, Bai Chen couldn't help reaching out and rubbing his head until he started making uncomfortable noises and his hair became messy only to stop.

"Don't be so polite, kid, admit your own role more. If you hadn't entrusted me, I wouldn't have known that there was another Absol in the forest that was injured to such a degree. Besides, even if I knew, I wouldn't I will definitely save it, you have to realize this."

"Huh? But..." There was slight hesitation in Ah Yan's expression, but he immediately retorted: "Mr. Baichen, you are well-known in Random Town for your love for Pokémon, why not?" Maybe after seeing Absolu, he will leave it aside? Could it be that you are the legendary proud..."

"certainly not!"

Bai Chen patted A Yan on the head unceremoniously.

"I will only be good to my Pokmon, because they have been with me for so much time, and I have never colored wild Pokmon."

"You say yes."

Even though he was punished by being patted on the head, Ah Yan didn't seem to show any signs of repentance, and the disbelief in his expression became more intense.

Damn it, where did the kid who was shy and speechless just a second ago go?Sure enough, it's better for a child to be more polite, right?

Bai Chen complained in his heart, and couldn't help but feel a little bit of regret.

Seeing the scene of Baichen and Ayan talking and joking, the corners of Absolu's mouth couldn't help but rise, even he didn't realize it, maybe he didn't have much real love for the human beings in front of him before he knew it. Be wary in the sense...

Somewhere in the Sinnoh area, in a dark room.

"What's going on? Why is the alliance's investigation of poaching so large and detailed in the past two days? Could it be that our whereabouts have been exposed?"

A cold and mean female voice echoed in this large room with almost no light, and in front of her, a man in a suit was sweating profusely, looking a little unnatural.

"Although it's not very good to say that...but... maybe one of your organization was exposed during the operation."

There was a little fear in the voice of the man in the suit, but it seemed that the object of fear was not the woman sitting high in front of him.

"So you think this is all our problem?" The female voice, which didn't sound very comfortable at first, became sharper now, even though she was wearing a pair of black glasses that made it impossible to see her gaze. , but the sharp vision hidden underneath pierced the man's body like countless needles. Seeing the change in the man's expression, the woman withdrew her gaze and continued:

"Besides, even if we were really exposed, shouldn't it be you who will deal with this problem later? You must know that we are in the same situation now. No, it should be said that you are more dangerous than us. You know yourself position?"

The woman's voice was finally gone from the sharpness and meanness before, but the ridicule and irony that replaced it made the man in the suit below feel even more uncomfortable.

"Of course I know my current situation, but this time the identity of the target you exposed may not be so simple. After all, the person who handled the poaching this time was not a lower-level official of the alliance, but the Sinnoh champion Sirona herself. It is impossible for me to act at this time."

"You said that the organizer of this operation was Sirona herself?"

The woman's indifferent expression finally couldn't hold back, she propped her head with her right hand, as if she was thinking about something.After a long time, she finally recognized the current situation, sighed, got up and walked down, saying:

"Our recent action plan will change. In short, we have to avoid it first. In addition, I will send someone to track down in which action it was exposed. You don't need to worry about the rest."

She snorted coldly, and the eyes under the sunglasses revealed only cruelty and anger.

No matter who you are, since you dare to oppose us, you must make up your mind accordingly.

In the dark space, only her malice, which has been expanding with time, is constantly spreading...

016 Commission completed, Absol discharged from the hospital

"Be careful on the way back. It really helped a lot. If you hadn't come forward to explain, that awkward guy might not let his guard down until now."

"There's no such thing... I think it should have trusted you, Mr. Bai Chen, right? Otherwise, it wouldn't stay here obediently for treatment."

"It would be nice if things could really go on forever."

Outside the door of the Pokémon Center, Bai Chen was saying goodbye to A Yan. At this moment, the two were being polite to each other, but what they said also had their own reasons.

But after that is the most troublesome... The Pokémon hunter organization that appeared inexplicably, and can plan so many unknown hunting activities, their scale can be roughly imagined even if you haven't seen it with your own eyes... ..

Just when Bai Chen was worried about the other side, Ah Yan, who was supposed to go back, suddenly stopped, and suddenly turned around as if remembering something, ran to Bai Chen's side in two steps, and put his hand into the pocket of his coat After touching it, he took out a few coins and put them in his palm, handed them to Bai Chen and said:

"That... I almost forgot, this is the commission fee for this time, please accept it!"

"..."

Spread out in front of Bai Chen are a few alliance coins, the face value is not high, and it looks like you can buy half a catty of bacon. Although this is really not a commission fee for Bai Chen, but for A Yan's age For children, it should be two months of pocket money.

"Well, actually, about the entrustment..."

"Please take it!"

"..."

Originally, he wanted to find some excuses to refuse, but Ah Yan didn't know why he was so persistent in this aspect. He was obviously a kid with an annoying personality a moment ago, but now he became a bit of an adult again.

Originally, I wanted to say that I would save him a sum of pocket money, but it seems that my thoughts are still a bit naive.

Bai Chen secretly sighed in his heart, but still showed a nonchalant smile to A Yan on his bright face.

"Do you still remember your entrusted mission?"

"Huh?" After hearing Bai Chen's words, Ah Yan suddenly froze for two seconds, and then cautiously said with a tone of asking for advice: "Help... Absolu?"

"That's right! It's to help Absol! But before you know it, the commission this time has changed from helping Absol to something else! My client is actually in the middle of this mission. It has been replaced by someone else!"

Although what Bai Chen said was true, it seemed to A Yan that he was trying to make excuses, but before A Yan could utter words that could refute him, Bai Chen made his proposal first:

"Although the matter is like this, it is also true that I helped you along the way, so I will charge half of the commission fee, and my new client will bear the rest. Is this okay?"

Ayan: "..."

Ah Yan, who wanted to refute at first, suddenly became quiet after seeing Bai Chen's serious expression. He closed his eyes and thought for a while, then nodded reluctantly, and handed over the ordinary alliance currency in his hand to Bai Chen .

"Before this, no one really said that you, Mr. Bai Chen, have an awkward personality?"

After Bai Chen took over the Union Coin, Ah Yan still didn't forget to make complaints like this at the end, but Bai Chen just shrugged his shoulders and replied without paying too much attention:

"Besides you, I haven't seen the second such an arrogant child yet, so no one else has told me yet."

△

Saying goodbye to A Yan, Bai Chen also returned to his home. The sudden accident of this day did not break the tranquility of Random Town. It appeared and disappeared suddenly like a small episode. Look, in the next few days , Bai Chen's itinerary has turned into the usual two-point-one-line life, but now he has to go to the Pokémon Center to see the injured Absol every day when he is free.

I also met Ah Yan several times during the process of going to the hospital. I thought he would come here to visit Absolu every day, but it is said that his family is going to travel recently, so this is the last time to visit him recently. A Yan's expression was a little regretful when he said this sentence.

Bai Chen's mood towards Ah Yan is more or less understandable, or in fact, most of the children who have come here since childhood should have the same idea.Before the age of ten, unless it is a gift from parents and other relatives, children are generally not allowed to obtain their own Pokmon. What I hope is to stay with Pokémon for a while, play with them more, and learn more about them.

However, even adults, there are many who failed to embark on the path of becoming a trainer due to various reasons. As a result, they are all 40 or [-] years old and don’t even have a Pokmon of their own, but they may still hope to have it in their hearts. A Pokémon's.

Thinking of this, Bai Chen couldn't help but think of the man wearing glasses who frequented his coffee shop. Every time he came to the coffee shop, he would pet the long-haired dog when he first entered and left. Maybe he belonged to the latter. A situation for adults?

But looking at the expression of the man with the eyes every time he left, Bai Chen guessed that the other party should very much hope to get Kubao, but according to Kubao's personality...he may still be far away from his dream... ..

"I'm really bothering you these days, Miss Joy."

After a few days of treatment, Absolu's condition finally recovered, at least walking normally is no longer a painful thing for him.

"No, it's nothing, this is my responsibility, but Mr. Bai Chen, you obviously still have business to deal with in the store, but you still take time to visit Absol every day. It's really hard work, Absol every day I will also be very happy after you come here this time."

"Abo!"

After being named by Ms. Joy, Absolu's expression suddenly became anxious, and he turned half sideways and hurriedly called out to Ms. Joy, as if to refute her words.

"Okay, okay, I was wrong."

In this matter, Miss Joy did not continue to tease Absolu, but squatted down so that the eyes of the two were at a level, and while smiling, she reached out and stroked Absolu's furry head.After being touched by Miss Joy like this, Absolu actually turned his head a little embarrassed, as if its previous attitude of hating humans was just pretending.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Bai Chen had to express his admiration to Miss Joy in his heart. In such a short period of time, Absolu could completely let go of his guard. Sometimes Bai Chen couldn't help thinking, as a doctor of Pokémon Will it inadvertently exude an aura that makes Pokémon put down their guard?

"Then I'll leave with it first, and I wish you success in your work."

"Well, please go slowly~ But remember that these days, try not to let it engage in more intense sports such as fighting. It will be troublesome if you don't let the wound open again."

"I will remember."

After making such a simple promise to Miss Joy, Bai Chen took Absolu and left here, and Absolu did not forget to turn his head and give Miss Joy two nods before leaving. Next, it can be regarded as thanking her for taking care of me during this time.

......

017 Encounter and parting are the norm in the world

It was already evening when we left the Pokémon Center. On the quiet path, there were only a few sounds of Bai Chen and Absolu walking.

Suddenly, Bai Chen, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at Absolu, his expression seemed...a bit...confused?

"Although it is always a bit strange to ask this way, I still want to ask your opinion."

Looking at Absolu, Bai Chen finally said so.

Absolu also sat on the ground with calm eyes, quietly waiting for Bai Chen's follow-up words.

The orange warm setting sun shot down from between the two, illuminating their profiles. In this warm and harmonious atmosphere, Bai Chen asked about Absolu's plans for the future.

"As for your origin, I probably already guessed it. Although you have been discharged from the hospital, your injuries are still not healed... I also know that you may still be wary of humans, so I will not ask you to do anything, if If you want to continue living in the wild, it is best to continue to stay in the random forest, it is more suitable for healing injuries; if..."

"Abo..."

Bai Chen didn't even finish the second half of his sentence, he just felt his cuffs being pulled by something.Looking away, I saw that Absolu was biting his cuff, and pulled it lightly twice. After realizing that he was looking at it, Absolu let go, and slowly stepped back two steps , but its gaze has never moved away, and it has always looked at itself.

"..."

The two just looked at each other, and they were silent for a moment. About half a minute later, Bai Chen suddenly laughed twice, and stretched out his hand towards Absolu.

"Since this is the case, I still need your advice for the time being."

"Abo!"

Absolu nodded and yelled, raised his front foot, and put it on Bai Chen's hand, his meaning was beyond words.

△

Absolu chose to be by Bai Chen's side for the time being, and Bai Chen didn't change his life because of this small episode. His coffee shop opened "on time" the next day as usual.

"Ding bell~"

There was a jingle of bells from the door, announcing the arrival of a visitor.

"welcome."

Bai Chen, who was still ordering ingredients at the counter, immediately stood up to welcome the guests who came here, and even if he hadn't seen the appearance of the guests, he could still guess who came at this time.

"It's so early today, is the work still unfinished?"
