I, the Pokémon Master, now resign

Although they didn't show any complaints to Bai Chen except Hippo, but after Bai Chen apologized to them so sincerely, the corners of the mouths of several Pokmon couldn't help but hang a smile of relief.

Indeed, it is absolutely impossible to say that you don't care about this year at all. It is one thing to support Bai Chen, but it is another thing to just let Bai Chen's behavior go, at least after Bai Chen apologized to them. , Their mood has improved significantly compared to just now.

"Should I have stopped them earlier..."

Seeing Bai Chen clutching his coat and looking shocked, Ma Li walked up to him with some embarrassment and said so.

"Hmm... According to common sense, maybe so, but... If these guys are really so easy to manage, I can rest assured."

Bai Chen thought about it and then gave up. Once these guys started a fight, he couldn't even scream, let alone Ma Li. If he really wanted to control them, only the Monarch Snake could control them.

"However, this can be regarded as a meeting, so next..."

"Ah, I just said why it's so lively here, and the lock outside is still unlocked. It's really you who came back."

Just when Bai Chen was about to get up and go back, suddenly a voice with a smile came from behind him.

"Ah...you're finally back~ It's a rare time to come here, and it's really a pity that there is no one in the research institute."

Hearing the familiar voice from behind, Bai Chen showed an unexpected smile, turned around and looked at the woman in front of him, and said slowly:

"Long time no see, Dr. Yew."

The woman was wearing a white coat, and her pale green pupils shone with unconcealable excitement.

"Well, long time no see."

......

"Please use it, I haven't been back for a long time, will you feel uncomfortable?"

In the research institute, Dr. Yew brought two cups of coffee and a cup of fruit juice and placed them in front of Bai Chen and Mary, then picked up a cup of coffee himself, and asked while sipping it slightly.

"Whether I get used to it or not... Anyway, I will get used to it after a while, and this is the starting point of my trip anyway, so how could I not get used to it?"

Even though Dr. Yew came back, Bai Chen didn't feel any stress, on the contrary he was extremely relaxed.

"By the way, Kamizlei told you that I'm coming back?"

"Well, she told me on the phone a few days ago, but she didn't say the specific time of your return, which made me tense up every day and waited for you to come."

Dr. Yew casually leaned on the seat, gracefully put down the cup in his hand, and said:

"I haven't seen them for so long, how does it feel to meet again this time?"

"..."

Of course Bai Chen could hear the meaning hidden in Dr. Yew's words, but he didn't know how to answer for a while, so he could only smile awkwardly, with a tone of voice With a little helplessness in his eyes, he said: "They...are very energetic...Although I haven't been back for a long time, I have learned a lot from them."

I have learned a lot, especially their attitudes when facing problems. They did not choose to escape like Bai Chen, but insisted on their own views, and practiced silently for a year. Such a simple truth was obvious to Bai Chen when he was young. I once said this to Kamizlei, but I didn't expect that after many years, I would leave the answer to this question aside. It is naturally impossible to say that I am not ashamed.

"Is that so..."

Dr. Yew had a bitter look on his face, and he couldn't figure out what to talk about for a while, so he didn't intend to continue beating around the bush, but directly asked the question he was most concerned about.

"Since I have learned a lot from them, are you going to come back now?"

Dr. Yew specially strengthened the pronunciation of the word "return". Obviously, it does not refer to returning to the Hezhong area. What Dr. Yew really wants to know is whether Bai Chen still intends to return to his original life as a trainer.

"This..." Bai Chen pursed his lips, closed his eyes and meditated.

For Dr. Yew, he has always held the idea of ​​gratitude and indebtedness. On the one hand, Bai Chen is very grateful that Dr. Yew gave him a chance to become an official trainer, but at the same time, Bai Chen is ashamed. Now he is like this. Completely abandoning the identity of a trainer, such behavior is obviously ashamed of Dr. Yew, there is no doubt about it.

only......

"I'm not sure yet. I plan to look for the answer to the question after I go to Raven City."

Bai Chen still doesn't intend to lie to his heart.

......

210 Yew: Have you met Celebi?

"...Forget it, that's fine~"

Although Dr. Yew asked this question, she didn't seem to care about whether Bai Chen could give a definite answer, but she still put on a casual smile, picked up the coffee again and took a few sips. After one time, Dr. Yew's eyes began to shift to Mary who was on the side.

"Hmm..." Dr. Yew let out a low moan of unknown meaning, as if he was thinking about his words, and then asked: "Although I have heard of it before, but based on your character... It is really unimaginable to accept students."

From the beginning of the trip, Bai Chen was a loner, and he completed the trip by himself for several years. Dr. Yew, who was the guardian by the way, even thought that Bai Chen I have been worried for a long time whether I have suffered from autism due to the factors of the growth environment.

"After all, people change. It's impossible to say that after such a long time, I'm still exactly the same as before, and I haven't improved at all, right? Although it seems that this has indeed been the case in the past year or so. "

While talking, Bai Chen still didn't forget to laugh at himself.

According to his original personality, he would definitely not agree to Ma Li's request at that time, even with Nie Zi's complaints.

However, during the period when Bai Chen's strength completely reached its peak, including Sirona, the champions of the major leagues, the kings of heaven, and even the owners of the pavilions from all over the world had given him some help, especially In terms of growth, that's why Bai Chen tried to open a coffee shop in Random Town to integrate into that kind of life circle.

Judging from the results, Bai Chen was indeed successful, although it was a little different from what Sirona and the others expected, right?However, Bai Chen's personality did undergo a complete change during the period when his strength reached its peak.

After finishing speaking, Bai Chen seemed to want to change the subject, or simply didn't want to continue talking about himself, so he asked Dr. Yew:

"It's really strange to say that the assistants in the research institute are not here. I thought I came back this time just in time for you to go on a long trip~"

"Travel... I also want to go out and relax, but there is too much research work at hand." Dr. Yew replied with some helplessness, and then explained: "Their words are just right They asked for leave together because of something, originally there was one assistant in the research institute after they asked for leave, but~ the last assistant also went to the Kanto region on a business trip yesterday."

As he spoke, Dr. Yew couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

It's not a happy thing to be alone in the research institute, even the trivial things that should be done by assistants now need her to do it herself, like pouring coffee and cooking.

But it's okay to say that Dr. Yew is one of the few doctors who lead new trainers who can cook in person, otherwise she might have to follow the example of Dr. Oki and eat instant noodles for meals.

Regarding Dr. Yew's words, Bai Chen hadn't made any comments yet, but Ma Li leaned forward slightly as if she had heard something amusing, tilted her head and asked in doubt: "Business trips... are usually not very important. Why is the assistant going on a business trip instead of Dr. Pokémon himself?"

Ma Li's question is not unfounded. After all, Ma Li grew up in the Pokémon Gym since she was a child. After Nie Zi took over the post of Gym Leader of the Spike Gym, Ma Li can often see him Figure on a business trip.

And every time Nie Zi came back from a business trip, he always looked half-dead. At the worst time, Ma Li was afraid that he would leave if she was not careful. However, he once told Mary that matters that require the gym master to travel are generally very important, and running away is just a thought.

"Ah... In the past, I usually went by myself, but the recent research is more important, so I chose to stay here and let the assistant help me with business trips."

As Dr. Yew said so, his eyes could not help but drift to Bai Chen's side.

"By the way, Bai Chen, you've seen a lot of legendary Pokémon during your travels, right? I just want to ask you a question too."

"Please say."

Feeling that Dr. Yew's expression became serious, Bai Chen also put away his previous casual look. For his benefactor, Bai Chen naturally hoped to help him.

And just like what Dr. Yew said, the number of legendary Pokémon I encountered during my travels is indeed a lot, and all the legendary Pokmon that I have met with Bai Chen have also developed certain feelings between them. I am afraid that even the champions from all over the world will not be able to enjoy the opportunity.

"Then I'll be straight." Dr. Yew put down his coffee cup with a serious face, and asked slowly, "Did you meet Celebi during your travels?"

"Snow... Celebi?"

Bai Chen and Ma Li looked at each other, the doubt and surprise in each other's eyes were beyond words.

Seeing the eyes of the two, Dr. Yew was puzzled, and asked curiously: "Why do you look more surprised than me? Could it be that you really met Celebi recently? !"

Dr. Yew's tone was full of excitement, unconsciously leaning his whole body up, looking at Bai Chen with eager eyes, hoping to hear news related to Celebi from him .

"Wait, wait! Dr. Yew! Not what you said! Too close!"

Bai Chen stretched out his hand to push Dr. Yew away, and explained to him:

"I haven't met Celebi, it's just that the Master House I opened received a commission related to Celebi two days ago, that's why we were so surprised!"

"A commission related to Celebi?"

Although he didn't hear the answer he wanted, Bai Chen also seemed very interested in entrusting Dr. Yew. After all, let alone entrusting tasks related to Celebi, most people would probably Even Celebi doesn't know what Pokmon is, including a large number of Pokmon trainers.

"Well, actually...it's like this..."

Although under normal circumstances a commission like this needs to be kept secret, Dr. Yew's words should be fine.

With this thought in his heart, Bai Chen began to explain what happened to her.

......

211 Vision in the Forest

Bai Chen explained to Dr. Yew in detail the whole process of entrusting the two old men who came to Master House. During the period, Ma Li made a lot of supplements for Bai Chen who had forgotten some things. The doctor just frowned from the beginning to the end. After Bai Chen finished explaining, she crossed her legs and supported her head with her hands, looking thoughtful.

"A strange client...it's really interesting. It would have been nice if I had been there."

Regarding the entrustment of the two old men, Dr. Yew showed more interest than Bai Chen expected.

"You said they gave you the miracle seed, and want you to give this to Celebi?"

"Well, yes...but why are you so interested in this? Is it related to your latest research topic?"

Bai Chen's guess seemed to hit Dr. Yew's mind, she nodded lightly, and then gave a wry smile.

"Come with me and you should know. By the way, did you bring the miracle seed they gave you?"

"? Well, I have always carried it with me. After all, no one knows when I will meet Celebi. It is also a good idea to carry the entrusted token with me."

Bai Chen replied in this way, and Dr. Yew saw that Bai Chen seemed to be carrying a miracle seed, so he got up now, walked towards the door, and at the same time he did not forget to turn around and say to them: "Come and see, You will know what happened."

"?"

Seeing Dr. Yew's mysterious look, Ma Li and Bai Chen couldn't help but glance at each other, nodded silently, then got up and walked behind Dr. Yew, expecting her answer in their hearts.

......

In the forest to the east of Luzi Town, the three of Bai Chen were walking among them.

When walking in the forest, it seemed that Dr. Yew, who was the leader, did not speak, so Bai Chen and Ma Li seemed to have reached an unspoken agreement, and kept quiet with each other. Just quietly observing the environment in the forest.

very noisy.

This was Bai Chen's first feeling when he stepped into the forest.

The forest here is different from the forest trail where he and Mary came from the airport to Luzi Town. The latter is full of tranquility and peaceful atmosphere, but the forest here is full of the sounds of Pokémon, It sounded very loud.

But if you want to make it sound better, maybe it’s better to call this place a living opportunity. After all, the density of Pokémon in the general forest is not so high. The reason why this place is full of Pokémon calls is probably It must have something to do with the frighteningly dense fruit trees nearby.

You should know that in a general forest, although there are so-called fruit forests, there is a certain distance between each fruit tree in the fruit forest, because if they are too close to each other, it is easy to block the sun, etc. The resulting fruit is small and sour.

But the fruit trees here seem to have no such problem, they are very close to each other, and the fruits on each fruit tree seem to be growing well, each one is big and round , The fruit produced was so many that the branches were pressed down, and many fruits fell to the ground.

"Here, is it really wild? This forest grows naturally???"

Ma Li finally noticed something wrong with her surroundings, so she looked at Bai Chen with puzzled eyes and said this, as if she wanted Bai Chen to explain to herself.

However, Ma Li's expectations will be in vain after all. Bai Chen is one of the first two elders for such an abnormal scene. Although he has encountered many strange events during the travel, it is the first time he has seen such a situation. .

However, although it is not 100% sure, but combined with what Dr. Yew said before, Bai Chen also has some guesses about the cause of this phenomenon.

"The situation here...was caused by Celebi?"

Celebi is known as the god of the forest. It has the special ability to regenerate withered forests, and can give vegetation and even people vitality. If Celebi really exists in this forest, all this seems to be possible. Makes sense.

"Only half the answer."

Dr. Yew didn't affirm Bai Chen's statement, nor did he deny it, but only gave an ambiguous attitude.

"It's here."

While talking like this, under the leadership of Dr. Yew, Bai Chen and Mary followed into an area completely covered by the shade of trees.

There are dense branches and leaves above, and no sunlight can fall on this small open space through the cover of the branches and leaves. In the dark space, Dr. Yew took out a flashlight from nowhere to illuminate the dim surrounding environment.

"It's right in front of you in the mound of soil, try to break the layer of soil to see."

Dr. Yew shone the flashlight on the small mound in front of Bai Chen, and said so.

Although it is said to be a small mound, from a general perspective, it is just a small inexplicable protrusion in the normal soil. Even if you are walking in the forest, if you are not tripped by such a protrusion, you may not be able to see it. People will pay attention to it.

"...I see."

Although he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Dr. Yew's gourd, Bai Chen still obeyed Dr. Yew's words, squatted down, and used his hands to scrape the small protrusion made of soil in front of him to the sides.

The depth of the small mound is not very deep, Bai Chen just inserted his hands into the soil and felt it to the bottom, but...

"Ok?"

After burying his hands in the bottom of the mound, a strange feeling came from Bai Chen's palm, as if he had touched something. The first feeling he felt was a deep-rooted coolness.

"!?"

"Take it out directly, it's not a strange thing."

The moment he felt something strange, Bai Chen was instinctively planning to stretch out his hand, but Dr. Yew seemed to have seen through Bai Chen's thoughts, so he immediately reminded him aloud.

"..."

Dr. Yew’s words obviously had an effect. Bai Chen’s work stopped when Dr. Yew’s voice came out. After regaining his composure, Bai Chen felt that the thing he was holding in his hands seemed not to be alive. I feel relieved.
