I, the Pokémon Master, now resign

Bai Chen smiled and teased the other party, there is usually only one person who will come to the coffee shop so early, and that is the glasses employee from Pokémon Watch Company.

Although it's been up to now, Bai Chen still doesn't know the other party's name. After all, the other party has never mentioned his name to him, nor asked his own name. Although Bai Chen and the man with glasses have known each other for a while, But in this regard, the relationship between the two parties is more like strangers with a better relationship than friends.

"Yeah, I'm going to disturb you for another day, boss, you don't mind?"

"Haha, how could it be? Of course I am very happy to have business, and I have been helping to keep your usual place there, although it is because there are no people in the store now."

After teasing each other, Bai Chen nodded to signal the other party to sit down freely.

After listening to Bai Chen's words, the man in glasses didn't care, he shrugged his shoulders with a smile on his lips, this coffee shop really made him feel comfortable and at ease......

Although he planned to sit down quickly and order a cup of coffee and a sandwich to start his work, the man with glasses still had one routine thing he didn't do.

"Hmm... Shaggy Dog and Cool Leopard are in..."

"Abo..."

"?"

Originally, the man with glasses planned to go on a routine, paw the long-haired dog before enjoying the delicious breakfast, and make a good relationship with the cool leopard by the way, but at this moment, he noticed something pulling his briefcase, I just turned my eyes and found that it turned out to be an Absolu.

"Absol? Is this the new Pokémon you have tamed, Boss?"

With a little excitement and surprise in his tone, the man with glasses quickly turned around and confirmed this to Bai Chen.

"Hmm... Although I did subdue it with a Pokémon ball, it is still a wild Pokémon in terms of status, but for various reasons, it will temporarily live here for a while, and help me work by the way."

Bai Chen responded with a smile.

Originally Absolu came here and Bai Chen didn't care what he usually wanted to do, whether he went out for a walk or followed the Monarch Snake to watch the house and bask in the sun every day, Bai Chen didn't have any objections, it was just a little more food expenses, It's not a big deal either.

It's just that Absol's character seems a bit stubborn. Even though he clearly said that he doesn't have to insist on helping, he still seems to insist on working here because he wants to return favors. At first, Bai Chen was a little worried that he would It's not suitable for the work of receiving guests, but it seems to be okay now, it doesn't seem to have much resistance and vigilance to the guests who come here.

Sure enough, the vigilance it had when we met for the first time was due to those experiences, rather than its natural personality...

Seeing the scene in front of him, Bai Chen thought involuntarily, and at the same time, he felt more and more disgusted with that unknown hunter organization in his heart.

"By the way, today I still want to..."

"Same old thing, hot coffee and jam sandwich platter."

"...Ah, yes, sorry for your trouble."

Hearing that Bai Chen reported the menu he wanted to order with ease, the man with glasses smiled again, and after stroking the long-haired dog and the new Absolu for a while, he sat down in his old chair with satisfaction. It's just a pity that today's Kubao seems to be reluctant to let him pet it.

"Oh, what a pity. Didn't you think that you couldn't have a good relationship with it in the end...Although I had expected it a long time ago, I still feel a little regretful after experiencing it myself."

The man with eyes who sat in the old seat sighed slightly, showing his helplessness, but Bai Chen seemed to hear something from his words, turned his head in surprise and asked:

"At the end? Are you planning to leave Random Town?"

"Well... But it feels a little weird to say that I am leaving. After all, I am not a citizen of Random Town. I just lived here for a long time because of work. Now the company seems to have some urgent matters to let me go. I went back first, this time I may not be free for a long time, so I feel a little pity."

Straightening his glasses, the young man shrugged his shoulders with a helpless tone.Although this period of time in Random Town is simple, it is really enjoyable. This kind of warmth that does not need to be expressed in words is more wonderful than anything else.

"Is that so..."

Not only the man with glasses, but even Bai Chen couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional.I opened the Wanshiwu and the coffee shop here out of interest. After all, he is not short of money, he just simply likes this kind of life, but in this world, more people are running around in various cities and regions. people.

"Lie..."

"Ok?"

At the moment when the man with glasses just finished feeling, a strange voice and temperature came from his side. Kubao, who had already gone away to bask in the sun, was lying beside him at this rare moment. I still don't really want to touch it myself, but such a performance is already very rare.

"Since this is the last time, let me treat you today. You can order whatever you want, as long as it is something I can do."

Although Bai Chen's words did not directly point out Ku Bao's situation, he also indirectly indicated that both he and Ku Bao seemed to hope to give the man a special "gift" before he left.

The man was stunned for a moment and didn't speak. After recovering, he smiled comfortably, closed his eyes and put the computer on the desktop with ease, and said softly:

"I see, then...thank you."

The afternoon time passed slowly with the sound of coffee being ground in the small shop.

......

018 Step-son's second entrustment, trip to Tianguan Mountain

The pace of life in Random Town is very slow, and the pace of life of the people living here is also very slow. Perhaps because of this influence unknowingly, Bai Chen's previous passionate and passionate heart began to slowly change. Leisurely up.

So that's it, although today is Monday, the cafe is closed for the day!

He took out a rattan chair from the unused warehouse at home, and Bai Chen lay leisurely on it, feeling the warmth of the morning sun on his body, he couldn't help stretching, and then cast his gaze on It landed on the Pokémon who was eating breakfast over there.

Monarch Snake, Shaggy Dog, Cool Leopard and the newcomer Absolu.

Although the number of Pokmon he has tamed is not small, most of the Pokmon Bai Chen stayed in the Yew Dr. Institute. Staying in the Pokmon Ball, so it is better to let them live comfortably in the backyard of the research institute; secondly, it is also because they have experienced so many Pokmon battles and achieved the peak of the battle. Gradually become the same as myself, no longer have the original passion, and a comfortable life will be more suitable for them.

But when it comes to comfort, it's really hard for Bai Chen to say whether life in the research institute will be more comfortable or in Random Town, after all, he is not a Pokémon.However, when choosing who to stay here, he thought carefully for a long time before deciding to keep these three. The Monarch Snake is his initial Pokémon, so it goes without saying, and the long-haired dog also has The cool leopard is because they seem to like to stay by their side very much, and their willingness to follow him is stronger than the other Pokmon, so Bai Chen simply kept them, and they just happened to be allowed to visit the store and Dangdang mascot.

But to be honest, although this kind of life is leisurely and comfortable, it will feel less fun over time.

"Hurry up and eat~ After eating, let's go for a walk in the park over there."

Bai Chen yawned, stretched again, and then let his back fit into the rattan chair, humming softly as he said this, while the Pokmon who were eating breakfast heard After he said that, he speeded up unknowingly. After all, even the Monarch Snake, who likes to stay at home, would occasionally want to go out to play.

"Ah! Sure enough, it's here!"

"?"

Just about to close his eyes and continue to enjoy this moment of tranquility, Bai Chen suddenly heard a familiar voice. He got up and looked in the direction of the voice. It was an acquaintance who came, with a worried expression on her face all the way. Sure enough, he trotted, and finally stopped in front of Bai Chen, gasping for breath.

"Aunt step-son? What's the matter? What happened that made you so anxious?"

Looking at the stepson and aunt who were bending over and panting in front of him, Bai Chen asked with some doubts.The stepson on the opposite side finally returned to his original state after a little slowdown, wiped the sweat from his forehead and first apologized.

"Sorry, I came to you in such a hurry, because I saw that there was no one in Wanshiwu, and it was temporarily closed, so I guessed that you might be at home. I am sorry to disturb your vacation, but I have an urgent I want you to accept the commission."

After a brief apology, the stepson got to the point.

"The matter is about my husband. Didn't I say that he stayed in Tianguan Mountain and said he wanted to observe Pokémon?"

"Well, there is such a thing."

After a little recollection, Bai Chen remembered that his stepson was talking about helping her harvest the fruit last time, and he still remembered that his stepson had complained about his husband's decision at that time.

"That's the thing... It's been so long since my husband said he wanted to stay there, but I haven't heard anything about him until now. If he was in the wild, he would have sent me a message in advance as usual. He said about when he will come back, but this time there is no news... So I am really afraid that something happened to him, can you please help me find him, this is my request... ..”

"..."

After listening to his stepson's narration, Bai Chen was a little distracted. He didn't expect such a thing to happen. If so, this should be the most important event he has received since he opened the house of everything. It's just... ..

"Although I am very grateful to Auntie Stepson for your trust in me, since it is such an important matter, why didn't you report it directly to the police station?"

For cases of missing persons, no matter how you go to the police, it is the best choice. Just in case, Bai Chen still intends to ask this first, but what he received was only a sigh from his stepson, and he only heard her say:

"I also thought that I should go to the police first for this matter, but when I got to the gate of the police station, I found that there were surprisingly few people there, and the two people left were also on the phone one after another, looking very busy. ..and I'm not sure what happened to my husband, whether it is considered missing...and even if the case is successfully filed, the staff there may not immediately solve it. This is what I am most worried about thing......"

After listening to his stepson's explanation, Bai Chen suddenly realized something.

In this way, it seems that the manpower of the police station has decreased, and the whole thing has become so busy, it seems that it is to find out the unknown hunter organization, right?In this way, in the face of such a suspected disappearance case, I am afraid that there is really no extra manpower available there.

It is quite helpless to say this, and this can be regarded as a defect of the small town.If it was in a large city like Zhuqing City, no matter how busy it was, it wouldn't mean that the police station would lack manpower to handle other cases.

"I see. I have accepted this commission. I will set off for Tianguan Mountain in the afternoon. I will definitely bring your husband back safely!"

Bai Chen took a deep breath, looked into the eyes of his stepson and aunt, and patted his chest to reassure him.

Although it is not good to make such an irresponsible guarantee before finding out the current situation of the other party, Bai Chen understands that it is necessary, at least for these two very loving couples, such a guarantee can make the other party feel at ease It is absolutely necessary.

"Then... I'll leave it to you, Mr. Bai Chen!"

The stepson bowed deeply to Bai Chen, his tone was full of self-blame for his helplessness and gratitude to Bai Chen.

If possible, how could the stepson be unwilling to find a husband by himself?But the fact is right in front of her eyes, she doesn't have her own Pokémon, and the situation on Tianguan Mountain is complicated and dangerous. For someone like herself who is not even a trainer, going is just adding to the chaos, so all she can do is Please, Bai Chen, and all she can do is pray for their safety in the house like this...

019 White Horse Hotel in Tianguan Mountain

Tianguan Mountain, the highest peak straddling the north and south of the Sinnoh region, countless myths originated here, and even in the eyes of many residents of the Sinnoh region, Tianguan Mountain gave birth to the entire Sinnoh continent.

Bai Chen is neither a geographer nor a historian, so he has no way of knowing whether this sentence is right or wrong, but at least from people's evaluation of Tianguan Mountain, it is not difficult to see what Tianguan Mountain has in the hearts of people in the Shen'ao region. If you want to use a similar mountain range as an example, Bai Chen thinks that Baiyin Mountain should be similar in importance to Tianguan Mountain, right?It's just that Baiyin Mountain has more of a sense of mystery and inviolability than Tianguan Mountain.

"Hey... Fortunately, there is one that can determine the location information, otherwise I might have to search the entire Tianguan Mountain."

He was wearing a thick padded jacket, and the shoes on his feet had been replaced with snow boots when he set off.

The current time is the transition period of autumn and winter. Although you can wear light clothes in Random Town and don't feel too much coolness, it is different when you come to Tianguan Mountain. From the perspective of the altitude of Tianguan Mountain, as long as you walk to What you can see on the mountainside should already be a piece of ice and snow.

Of course, such a situation can only be seen in the south of Tianguan Mountain. If it is a mountain group located in the north, let alone halfway up the mountain, even the foot of the mountain has been covered with snow, and Bai Chen came It's such a place...

West of Shenhe Town and east of EMI City, this is where Auntie Stepson and her husband separated.

But this time he will be here, which is what Bai Chen expected a long time ago. After all, the development of the southern foot of Tianguan Mountain is not as good as that of the northern foot. If you live in a hotel in the mountains, then it can only be at the northern foot of Tianguan Mountain.

"But to be honest, I really didn't expect that it's already autumn and winter, and there are so many people traveling to Tianguan Mountain... It's obviously not a holiday..."

Bai Chen stood in front of the Pokémon Center at the bottom of the mountain, looking at the bustling crowd outside the door, he couldn't help saying this.

People who come here in this season seem to be pure mountaineering enthusiasts, right?There are basically no children inside, and the people who want to climb the mountain basically form a group of 5 or 6 people, and the equipment is also complete, which is different from the tourists who decided to come here on a temporary basis.

"By the way, why do you want to come here... It's good to just stay there and look after the house, and the stepson and aunt will help take care of you for a while..."

Turning his gaze, Bai Chen glanced at Absol who was standing quietly beside him, and said so speechlessly.

"Abo..."

After hearing Bai Chen's question, Absolu didn't have any other reaction, he just turned his head to look at him and let out a faint cry.

Bai Chen doesn't look like someone with special abilities, nor is he an expert in Pokémon linguistics. Naturally, he doesn't understand what Absolu is talking about, but judging from his past behavior, Bai Chen probably I can also guess something.

"No, this is also your so-called repayment link... By the way, if you have the idea of ​​repaying your gratitude, don't you feel that you are a bit at a loss..."

Bai Chen squinted at Absolu, and after he finished speaking, its body trembled obviously, and it seemed to be a little shaken.

Well, it seems that it also understands this truth.

Bai Chen secretly sighed, obviously it should take good care of its wounds now, but it insisted on following him to help.

Although it was a stupid and naive choice, it was the inadvertently shown kindness that made Bai Chen sigh again, and felt even more disgusted with the hunter organization with completely opposite characteristics in his heart.

"Hey~ I've followed here anyway~ But speaking of it, there's nothing wrong with asking for help, but if you have to fight during this period, you must not participate, understand?"

"Abo!"

Absolu, who seemed to be a little timid at first, cheered up quickly after hearing what Bai Chen said, which made Bai Chen start to reflect on whether he was a little too nice to them.. ....

△

To find someone in such a vast snow-capped mountain, of course, one cannot search blindly. Information and information are always the first elements, so the first place Bai Chen plans to go to is the hotel where Auntie Stepson and her husband Mr. Taichi live.

Although the northern foot of Tianguan Mountain has been developed into a scenic spot with a large passenger flow, due to the restrictions of the environmental protection policy of the Sinnoh Alliance, the development of the scenic spot can only be carried out in the mountainside area at most, because it will be developed at a higher altitude Not only will it have a relatively bad impact on the Pokmon and aborigines who have settled in Tianguan Mountain, but it is also not a good thing for tourists who come to travel.

After all, no one can tell what has evolved from the original ecological environment in such a long history. The higher the altitude, the greater the risk factor. Only those mountaineering enthusiasts are willing to take the risk.

"Well... Let me see... The location of the hotel should be not far from here... I hope I didn't go the wrong way..."

Holding a map that he just bought at the Pokémon Center in his hand, Bai Chen said to himself.

Although he has traveled for such a long time, Bai Chen has never had much confidence in his sense of direction. Even if he has a map in his hand, the probability of him going in the wrong direction is more than half. The previous travel history can be said to be accompanied by Lost History came together.

"Abo!"

"Ok?"

Just when Bai Chen was still thinking about whether he had gone the wrong way, Absolu, who had been trotting ahead, turned around and yelled at him several times as if he had discovered something. He also pointed his forepaws at a building that looked old.

Under the prompt of Absolu, Bai Chen turned his gaze away. It seemed that he was only less than 100 meters away from the hotel at the other end, but the flow of people gathered in front of the two hotels was completely of two levels. of.

In such a white world, a building with the signboard of "White Horse Hotel" was crumbling in the howling snow wind.

"That's...is this here..."

No wonder the business in the store is not good, and the stepson and aunt also complained so much, it is not without reason...

Bai Chen rubbed the corners of his somewhat sore eyes, sighed lightly, and led Absolu to walk slowly towards the gate of the White Horse Hotel.

......

020 Mr. Taichi's move?

Originally, when observing the White Horse Hotel from a distance, one could feel its oldness, but now when Bai Chen took a closer look...

Still so old.

The hotel is a wooden double-storey house, and many places have peeled off the paint, but it can be seen that the store has maintained the hotel as much as possible from the no rot and damage, but from the description of the stepson Maybe the store still has some deficiencies in the protection of individual rooms.

"Then excuse me..."
