I, the Pokémon Master, now resign

"Public...but the buildings here..."

In a wilderness town like Luzi Town, the alliance has not invested in building anything here, and the benefits of urban planning and the like cannot be enjoyed by Luzi Town, but such a public building appears in such an abandoned town ?

"It's incredible, isn't it~"

Bai Chen smiled, as if remembering something, walked to the table in front of him with ease, took out a bag of snacks from the basket above, and began to eat.

"Building a pavilion on the observation deck and preparing some snacks here for travelers who come to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Luzi Town, or for the citizens themselves to enjoy, this is a matter agreed by the entire Luzi Town residents, and Snacks will be replenished every three days, and they will be made up of surplus food from various families in Luzi Town, or food that is nearing the expiration date."

Bai Chen said so, and threw a small bag of persimmon seeds to Ma Li. After Bai Chen introduced the cause of this place, Ma Li naturally took it, but her expression seemed to say that she still didn't understand it very well.

"Residents of Luzi Town, why do you do this? Don't you spend money and effort to do this..."

From a fundamental point of view, there is no real value in building such a thing in a town that is rarely visited by people.

However, in many cases, the actual value cannot be compared with the belief of gratitude, just listen to Bai Chen's explanation:

"Because...they all love this city."

……

199 old place, old scene, human relationship

"Because...they all love this city." Bai Chen explained.

"Because they love this city, they all hope that Luzi Town can leave a better impression on passers-by, so they spare no effort to build such an observation tower, but of course, local people often come to the observation tower. , especially at dusk in spring and autumn, the scenery here is very beautiful."

Bai Chen leaned on the railing, and looked far away at the scenery of Luzi Town, seemingly unconsciously recalling the scene when he first came here.

At that time, in Luzi Town, although there were not as many buildings as there are now, the town was warm and harmonious, and every stranger passing by on the street would greet you and offer blessings.

Now that I think about it, maybe Bai Chen went to Luzi Town at the first stop after leaving Leiwen City, and experienced the customs and customs here that are far different from Leiwen City. Let's stay in a random town with a similar type in Luzi Town.

"..."

Without the same experience as Bai Chen, it is difficult to understand Bai Chen's emotion now, but there is at least one thing that everyone can feel in common, that is the scenery of jumping from the observation deck.

Although it is winter, the trees in Luzi Town are still standing upright, and the overlapping of green and yellow highlights a special beauty.

The breeze blew and took away pieces of fallen leaves. Smelling the fresh air mixed with the smell of leaves, looking at the sparse figures walking in the town, a different kind of tranquility filled the hearts of the two of them. This trip washes away the tiredness on the way.

......

After resting for a short period of time on the observation deck, Bai Chen finally left after completely relaxing physically and mentally.

Bai Chen used to think that he was a person who was not very nostalgic, otherwise it would be impossible for him to cut off most of the contact with the past, but today when he came back to the town where his trip started, when he once again After boarding the observatory, which gave him a great shock for the first time, Bai Chen couldn't help feeling...

Maybe, no...it should be said.

He is a person who likes nostalgia, but the previous him forcibly covered up all his nostalgic thoughts, even he himself did not realize it.

But today, after returning to his hometown and revisiting the old scenery, Bai Chen realized that he really still misses the Hezhong area.

After stepping down from the lookout tower, Bai Chen led Ma Li towards the northeast of Luzi Town. During the period, they also met many residents walking nearby. When they saw such unfamiliar faces as Bai Chen and Ma Li, they He also warmly greeted them as Bai Chen said before.

There are very few people in the town that Bai Chen has an impression of. Although their enthusiasm left a deep impression on him at the beginning, Luzi Town is only a small stop in his travels after all. He wants to remember It is of course impossible to live with all the passers-by you have encountered.

It's just that, among the residents that he met by chance, there are indeed some people that Bai Chen feels familiar with, but now he can't call their names, and they also can't recognize Bai Chen.Since Bai Chen felt familiar with them, it must mean that Bai Chen had a relatively in-depth communication with these residents before, but time passed, and now they no longer know each other.

A few years have passed, time has left traces on their faces and hair, and the plain memories of each other have also passed with time.

"After so many years, the town atmosphere of Luzi Town has not changed at all, but fortunately, none of them remember me."

After another simple greeting with a resident who had some impressions, Bai Chen couldn't help but make complaints like this.

Bai Chen's words aroused Ma Li's curiosity.

"Why? Wouldn't it be a touching thing to be able to call each other's name after reuniting after a long absence..."

Ma Li's thoughts are probably the touching plots played out in some TV dramas. Although there is nothing wrong with Ma Li's words, the answer to this question is naturally different in different occasions.

"This kind of occasion is touching because both parties remember each other, but take me as an example, if I don't have a very friendly relationship, I will definitely not remember each other's name after a few years. In such a situation, you are walking on the street. Suddenly a person who seems to be very moved and calls your name comes up to you, will you be moved?"

"Well......"

Mary was deep in thought, imagining the scene Bai Chen had mentioned.

"Will be overwhelmed..."

"Right~"

Bai Chen laughed and joked.

If you want to talk about the closest occasion, it may be like meeting a junior high school classmate on the street after leaving the society. Although you know that the other party is your classmate by looking at the face, you can't think of the other party's name. Under such circumstances, most people would probably choose to keep their heads down, or take a special detour so as not to meet each other.

After all, you don’t know if the other party knows your name. If the other party calls your name in such a situation, and then asks “Do you remember me? I’m that XXX”, you will be the one who will be embarrassed own up.

"Social, trouble."

In the end, Ma Li could only say weakly that she was not very extroverted, and it was very difficult for her to make friends, let alone deal with such difficult communication problems.

Bai Chen just shrugged helplessly at Ma Li's complaints.

"Maybe this is indeed a troublesome thing, but it is also something that has to be done. People basically cannot be separated from social interaction, especially for future gym owners."

"Well......"

After Bai Chen said this, Ma Li's expression seemed to become more depressed. She thought that she could become a gymnasium master as long as she was strong enough, but now after hearing Bai Chen's words, she finally realized that I found that I did understand it wrong.

Thinking back carefully, when facing challengers, my elder brother would always give all kinds of advice and words of encouragement that vary from person to person, as well as criticize their deficiencies in the battle.

These are the obvious preparations made by the gymnasium owner. Besides, Nie Zi, like most gymnasium owners, will send out Pokmon of different strengths to match the challenger as much as possible according to the strength of the challenger.

All of the above are the elements that a qualified gymnasium owner must possess.

......

200 Yew Doctoral Institute

"arrive."

In the northeast corner of Luzi Town, on the side of a small windmill, Bai Chen looked at the house in front of him, which was obviously different from other architectural styles in Luzi Town, and said so.

I haven't been here for a long time, and there is still no change at all. It seems that it has been taken care of regularly.

The building with the orange-red roof in front of me is Dr. Yew's research institute, which is similar to most of the research institutes. Just looking at the front part of the house, you will feel that the research institute itself is not too big. There may only be two Pokémon centers. about the size.

But just looking at the surface is not feasible. After all, Dr. Yew still has the task of taking care of the Pokémon sent back by the novice trainers, so it is naturally a very wide one with an area close to half a medium-sized forest to match many Pokémon. the "backyard".

However, the land in the backyard is naturally not fully used. Although there are many new trainers, few trainers will take in dozens of Pokmon in one go, and then throw them all in the research institute in one go.

However, if some trainers go to the field area, then the situation may be completely different.

"call......"

He obviously maintained a calm state of mind before, but when Bai Chen really came to the gate of the research institute, he began to feel a little nervous in his heart.

Not only because he is about to meet the Pokmon he has tamed, but also because he is about to reunite with Dr. Yew after a long absence.

A few times before when Bai Chen exchanged the Pokmon in his hand, he made a video call to the research institute, and the assistant of Dr. Yew was the one who answered the call.It is understood that Dr. Yew seems to have made some new discoveries in the wild recently, which has caused her to spend less time in the research institute these days and more time in the wild.

But Bai Chen is used to this, if any Pokémon doctor stays in the research institute all day long, he will probably be accused of not doing his job properly.

Feeling anxious, Bai Chen stretched out his hand stiffly, and pressed the doorbell hanging on the wall.

ding bell~~

The sound of the doorbell spread throughout the institute. When Dr. Yew talked about the doorbell, she seemed to be afraid that if she was immersed in the research, she would miss the guests who came here, so she asked the assistant to help find someone to ring the doorbell to her. It was turned up so much that people standing outside the door had to subconsciously cover their ears to prevent their ears from being shaken by the sudden sound.

"Pokemon Doctors, are they really strange people?"

On the previous road, Bai Chen reminded Ma Li to cover her ears when he pressed the doorbell, so Ma Li, who came to the Yew Doctor Institute for the first time, did not step on this unexpected trap, but Such a special situation still made her unable to hold back her desire to complain.

"Not really, at least Dr. Yew is relatively normal among all the Pokémon doctors, and the most serious one is probably Dr. Yamanashi from the Sinnoh region?"

Bai Chen recalled his impressions of Pokémon doctors in several regions in his mind, and replied like this.

Among all the Pokémon doctors, the one who left the deepest impression on Bai Chen is indeed Dr. Oda Scroll from the Fangyuan area, right?At least the few times when Bai Chen visited him, he was not in the research institute, and every time he went to the wild to look for him, he could be found chasing him up a tree by coyotes or snake bears.

It's really a weird person. Although Dr. Oda Scroll is really a good person, he just doesn't know why he is so unpopular with snake bears and coyote dogs.

But then again...

"Not here? Not only Dr. Yew, but even the assistants have left?"

Bai Chen felt strange.

According to past experience, if Dr. Yew wants to go out alone, he will definitely let his assistant stay to guard the research institute, but today it seems that they all went out?

"Then should we wait at the door? Or go out and look for it?" Mary put forward her opinion.

"Hmm... Although the winter in Luzi Town is not very cold, you can't stand outside the door all the time, right? As for looking for it... I don't know whether Dr. Yew went to the forest in the east or in the north. It's impossible to just search around without a clue, right?"

Bai Chen waved his hands and said so.

Although it might be beneficial to ask the nearby residents about the whereabouts of Dr. Yew, Bai Chen has already excluded this plan from his plan, after all——

"Don't worry~ I have a better way~"

"A better way?"

Ma Li muttered to herself suspiciously. Before she could ask Bai Chen what he was going to do, Bai Chen was already walking towards the side of the research institute. The side of the research institute was also blocked by iron gates, so it should be difficult to get through. That's right, but Bai Chen's target doesn't seem to be the two closed iron gates, but...

"Fourth, fourth, ah~ I found it."

I saw Bai Chen crouching on the ground, counting the flowerpots that were scattered on the ground one by one.

There are no plants in the pot, only loose soil. Perhaps Dr. Yew had thought about raising potted plants before, but in the end he forgot about it because of research, and the plants in the potted plants died. Alright.

However, the story of the potted plant or whether there is vegetation in it is not important to Bai Chen. What he is looking for is not those things, but the ones placed in this special potted plant, buried in the soil...

"That's it!"

Mary: "???"

Even Ma Li didn't realize what happened, she heard Bai Chen yell so excitedly, and then took out the potted plant that was covered with soil...

A yellow key? ? ?

"This this......"

Mary, who was hit by the shock, even had her brain shut down for a moment. She couldn't find any suitable words to describe the scene in front of her. If she had to say it, it might be...

"Why are you so proficient!?"

After a while, Ma Li said to Bai Chen with a little respectful eyes.

"Ah? That's of course, after all, I also lived in the research institute for a few days. After all, there is no Pokémon Center here..."

Bai Chen said something so confused at first, and then he seemed to "guess" what Ma Li was thinking, and compared her with a reassuring gesture, he added: "Don't worry, I have full confidence." Experience, this key is the key to the gate of the institute, we can go in now, don't worry!"

"I think the problem shouldn't be here..."

Mary sighed inwardly, wondering why it was so difficult to communicate.

......

201 The helper who ran away from home

Kacha~

There was a crisp sound from the gate of Dr. Yew's Institute, and then the gate was slowly pushed open.

"Excuse me~"

"Hi, are you interrupting?"

Bai Chen led Ma Li into the door. Compared to Ma Li who came in for the first time and in such a special way, Bai Chen didn't feel unfamiliar, as if she had returned to her own home. Sitting on the sofa in the hall, he threw his heavy backpack aside.

"You don't need to be so restrained, just treat this place as your own home, Dr. Yew won't mind~"

Seeing that Ma Li's body was still a little stiff, Bai Chen couldn't help saying that.

Although Bai Chen tried to make Ma Li behave a little more naturally, everyone's personality is different after all. In such a strange situation, Bai Chen, who has more experience, can naturally be a big heart, and Ma Li is probably in the same place. It will remain like this until I meet Dr. Yew.

Seriously, it's exactly the same as when I first came here... But when I think about it carefully, I seem to be more nervous than Mary when I first came to Dr. Yew's Institute.

......

A few years ago, when Bai Chen was entertained by Dr. Yew, he came to the institute for the first time.

"Well, Bai Chen-jun, it doesn't matter if you behave a little naturally, just treat it as if you are in your own home... um... Forget it, anyway, it's fine to act casually, you will make us feel uncomfortable if you are so serious ah."

Back then, Dr. Yew saw Bai Chen sitting upright, and couldn't help smiling wryly, trying to make him relax a bit, but at that time, Bai Chen was running away from home, and it was the first time he was visiting someone else's house, and he wanted to It still seemed a little difficult to make him not nervous.

"It's fine if I'm like this, don't worry about me... What I care more about is, are you really planning to give me the illustration book and help me become an official Pokémon trainer of the alliance..."

At that time, Bai Chen's face was still childish, but the firmness and maturity in his eyes were beyond his due age.
