I, the Pokémon Master, now resign

"I thought Mr. East George was a passionate fool..."

Bai Chen and Ma Li's complaints made Dong Qiaozhi feel uncomfortable for a while, and he could only smile a few times, with a little helplessness in his tone.

"I can't help it. This is the so-called reality. I also hope that I can achieve achievements through passion, but if I just have such a naive fantasy, I'm afraid the dream will die before I walk a few steps."

Speaking of which, East George no longer looks like a passionate young man when he first saw him, and now he feels more like an uncle who is telling his bitterness .

Because he loves Pokémon battles, but his own talent is limited, so he simply planned to open a battle club to become the experience here, so that he can have countless battles in front of him every day; but out of reality, he has no choice but to , couldn't afford the land prices in Feiyun City and Leiwen City, so in the end he could only retreat and choose to start a business in such a small town.

It's just that entertainment facilities such as battle clubs are basically doomed to fail in small towns.

Without its own characteristics and without the help of others, no matter what dreams its founders have in such a fighting club, they can only disappear under the pressure of reality.

And these, what Dong Qiaozhi said to him back then, Bai Chen just recalled.

Speaking of which...why didn't I have a deep impression on him?

Looking at the vicissitudes of the back, the middle-aged uncle who is still hovering on the boundary between resistance and submission, Bai Chen couldn't help thinking in his heart.

With such a distinct personality, I only have this impression of him... I must have stayed in Tangcao Town for a long time, right?

Was it because I had no intention of communicating with people at all?That's not right, I still vaguely remember the faces of some passers-by in Luzi Town, but...

Bai Chen fell into deep thought.

Memories can't lie, since Bai Chen doesn't have much impression of him now, except for this annoying attitude.This is enough to show that he didn't pay attention to him at all back then. During the reunion during such a period of time, he only remembered his character, and in his back with vicissitudes, he only faintly remembered That year, he talked about his story to himself who had won more than 80 consecutive victories.

......

220 Is he his hope?

That year seems to be ten years ago...

"Fried, fried and fried pigs will make you incapable of fighting! Bai Chen wins!"

In the battle club, East George, who was the referee, waved the flag in his hand, announcing the victory of this match.

However, it is better to say that he is just doing a daily routine that he has been doing recently - serving as a referee, announcing the start of the game, announcing the opponent's defeat, and announcing Bai Chen's victory.

"Okay, amazing..."

"Is this really a rookie trainer? I can't even imagine it... Do all rookies now have this kind of strength?! This time, the opponent can have a trainer with five badges, but he can only With an ivy snake..."

"And it's an inverse attribute!"

"Speaking of which, he won't really complete a 100-game winning streak, right? The group of trainers who came here to snipe him has been wiped out!"

"No, it doesn't matter! It is said that some trainers in Shuanglong City have also heard the rumors here, and they are on their way!"

"Haha, have you seen another good show!"

.......

After finishing his 85th winning streak, Bai Chen just took back the Ivy Snake and then planned to leave here after hearing the praises and discussions from around him. He didn't like such social occasions.

"Well, wait, wait a minute!"

"Ok?"

The young Bai Chen turned his head when he heard the voice, the one who stopped him seemed to be the manager here... His name... What's his name?Just know that he's an annoying guy, and when he's complimented he'll go on and on... and, well, boring.

Bai Chen couldn't deal with people with this kind of character, but the other party had experience here after all, out of politeness, he didn't ignore him directly and turned to leave, but turned around and waited for him to come to him.

"No, I'm sorry, it's just that I have something to tell you... Can I trouble you for a little time?"

The other party is an adult, and he is only a child, but he has such a respectful attitude, it seems that Bai Chen has no room to refuse.I don't know whether he did it on purpose or because of his personality. If it's the former, then his personality is really bad.

"It's okay, the Pokémon is not injured anyway, and there is no need to rush to the Pokémon Center."

Bai Chen's casual sentence seemed to have aroused the attention of the defeated just now, but Bai Chen had no interest in what kind of thoughts he would have because of this sentence.

"This, is that so..." I didn't expect Bai Chen to reply such a sentence. Even Dong Qiaozhi, who had already seen many turbulent waves, couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth, but he calmed down a bit. His own emotions, the original smile continued to hang on his face.

"Since this is the case, can you please come with me? I want to show you something..."

Dong Qiaozhi was full of humility, and Bai Chen just nodded indifferently, and followed him slowly towards the second floor of the Battle Club, which he had never been to before.

......

On the second floor, Bai Chen sat on the sofa, looked at the CDs in his hand, and said helplessly, "Is this what you want to show me?"

Although it hasn't been played yet, Bai Chenguang already knows what's inside by looking at the words on the white packaging bag. After all...

【Battle Record: Bai Chen】

It's already written so straightforwardly, so it's even more difficult to explain it if you don't understand it?

"So? What do you mean by giving me this? Did you see which part of my command is not in place? If so, please point it out for me, I will be very grateful... "

"No, no, no, that's not the case! Bai Chen-jun, you can't find any flaws in your command, otherwise you wouldn't have created such a winning streak, would you?"

"..."

Hearing this, Bai Chen could no longer understand the other party's thoughts. Wasn't he asking himself to come here so solemnly to correct his own problems?If this is the case, it means that the time here is wasted, right?

Ugh......

Bai Chen sighed in his heart, even if he wanted to leave now, it was already too late, his only choice at this time was to stay here and wait for the other party to finish his business.

"..."

Bai Chen's sudden silence seemed to make Dong Qiaozhi a little at a loss, but then he seemed to see his impatience from Bai Chen's eyes, so he quickly explained: "Well, I'm sorry to waste your time ...I just...want to talk to someone, to confide in my thoughts..."

Pour out your thoughts?With a kid in his teens?

Bai Chen's expression became more and more impatient, but Dong Qiaozhi seemed to have made up his mind, and said to himself: "My dream is actually to become the strongest trainer, but because I don't have enough talent, so He has lost in the first round of many league tournaments he has participated in.”

East George's eyes were full of loneliness, and even his body began to tremble slightly because of unwillingness.

"However, I really can't let go of my love for Pokémon battles, so I simply want to open a battle club, so that I can see wonderful Pokémon battles every day, right? At first I thought so of."

"It's just that there are not many excellent trainers in this small town... My hopes and enthusiasm are also emptied day by day, until I met you today."

His eyes seemed to be pinning all his hopes on Bai Chen, his eyes were warm and full of sincerity.

"Just over a month ago, due to economic pressure, I even wanted to close the store, but at that time I met you, and you said that you would challenge the record of 100 consecutive victories here. At that time, I just I was thinking—it’s just a novice trainer, what are you talking about? It’s just a brat who can only talk empty words, how can he succeed? If such people are successful, why have I persisted until today? Even the hope of a compromise in the end will be gradually reduced to naught?"

In the end, his thoughts and feelings have been fully and vividly expressed, as if he was talking about his own soul.

"But today, after you completed another winning streak...I seem to be full of hope for the future. I can assert here that you will definitely be the most talented trainer I have ever met, and you It will definitely bring hope to my dream, so... from now on, I will keep some special videos as proof, if ni wei lai..."

The voice in memory seems to have completely ended here.

......

221 Kakinuma So's Battle Video

So, is that so...

There was a strange look in Bai Chen's eyes.

Why do I have no deep impression on such a person with such a distinctive personality...

Why would I feel some discomfort from the bottom of my heart when I reunited with him.

So, is it because of this?

Ideals and reality seem to be the themes that people can never escape-the pursuit of ideals requires consideration of reality; but simply accepting reality, the ideals of youth will gradually be obliterated.

And at the beginning, what was I pursuing?Are you pursuing reality or pursuing ideals?

Regarding this question, even though he has reached the peak of the trainer, he still can't give this answer. Perhaps his purpose was not pure from the beginning...Compared to those who have devoted themselves to becoming the most The person in the dream of a powerful trainer, he seemed to have more than just such thoughts in his mind at the beginning.

However, at that time, he seemed to have subconsciously believed that he was fighting for his dreams, and he was an idealist.

However, years of experience, communication with others, especially Kamizlei's visit last time woke him up completely - he is just a person who is mixed between ideal and reality, a person who is still hesitating, looking for People who don't know the direction.

At that time, he had no interest in East George to the point of indifference, perhaps it was the idealism in his heart that was at work...

Because he thinks he is a lofty idealist, he looks down on Dong Qiaozhi from the bottom of his heart, who puts his wishes on himself. Perhaps from the moment he finished expressing his wishes and entrusting them to Bai Chen, Bai Chen Chen has already regarded him as a character inferior to passers-by.

Bai Chen is struggling on his own, on the road to the future, struggling with the reality in his eyes - lack of funds, no experience, no one to support...

Even though he encountered so many difficulties, Bai Chen didn't intend to let them overwhelm him. He always had a positive and tough attitude towards all the problems.

......

"Who is looking down on whom... Where on earth do I have such confidence and qualifications... And it's obviously Mr. East George who thinks too much of me, and the one who is really running away is obviously myself... ..."

Bai Chen muttered the monologue in his heart lightly, and blurted out his true inner voice so easily without any disguise.

"? Did you just say something?"

The voice of Bai Chen's monologue was very low. Although he felt unstoppable exhaustion in his heart, he still took care not to expose his weakness to Ma Li.

"No, nothing."

Bai Chen who was sitting on the sofa narrowed his eyes and shook his head lightly to signal her not to worry.

Although it was easy for Ma Li to get over it, the hurdle in Bai Chen's heart was still stuck there. When thinking about his current situation, he couldn't help asking himself questions.

Now I, in the end is to stick to the ideal, or stick to the reality?

As far as sticking to his ideals, he has already withdrawn from the identity of a trainer, and he doesn't have any special ideals. If he insists on having one, maybe it's to help Marie grow faster, right?

But if you accept the reality...is this kind of life the so-called reality?Is there something wrong?

This question lingered in his mind for a long time and could not leave.

......

"Ah, found it!"

Just as Bai Chen was thinking about this problem in his heart, Dong Qiaozhi, who had been looking for the video, seemed to have a result. After a pleasant cry, he turned sideways so that Bai Chen and Ma Li could See what's on the machine.

"?"

The two people who came forward couldn't help being a little dazed when they saw the file name, and their eyes were full of doubts.

【Growth History of Kakinuma Sou】

"What the hell is this? Growth history? He just had a Pokémon battle here, right?"

Bai Chen looked at Dong Qiaozhi with a consulting look, but the other side looked away in embarrassment, and muttered in a small voice: "Isn't this for making him get in touch with this place? In this way, if he becomes The Four Heavenly Kings and the like, I’m not just here..."

"Although you say you don't like the other party, your body is still very honest~!"

Bai Chen, who has gotten rid of the thinking of the past, naturally has no objection to Dong Qiaozhi's behavior now, after all, people have to live~ and a trainer who can achieve such a winning streak must have a certain level anyway, in such a situation Under the circumstances, it is reasonable to bet on the other party's future without spending much effort.

"..."

After being patted on the shoulder by Bai Chen, Dong Qiaozhi's head seemed to be a little lower.Although there is no other meaning in Bai Chen's words, no matter how you say it, Bai Chen is the hope he has always identified. No idea.

But even so, Dong Qiaozhi still ranked Bai Chen as the first object of worship in his heart.

Seeing the other party's frightened look, Bai Chen didn't know how to react for a moment, why now he looks like an adult who is bullying a child?Who is older?

Shaking his head helplessly, he didn't want to think about it for the time being, Bai Chen and Ma Li began to concentrate on watching Kaki Numaki's battle video together.

......

Time passed slowly, and the eyes of Bai Chen and Ma Li began to become heavier and heavier.

Although it is definitely not a passerby trainer who can achieve 99 consecutive victories, but it has to be admitted that the strength of the opponent is much higher than Bai Chen and Ma Li expected.

"Here, through precise command, the super power king can show the agility that is not lost to the small-sized Pokmon. His command ability is really good...not to mention that this super power king has also reached the league competition Upper class."

The more he studied the details of the battle, the more Bai Chen became curious about this trainer named Kaki Numaki Chuang.

With such strength, why not go to the league conference to continue to challenge a higher level of competition, but choose to play boring competitions here?

Although it may be rude to other trainers to say this, but for the trainers here who generally have less than 3 badges, the appearance of Kakinuma Chuang can be regarded as a dimensionality reduction blow.

But looking at his video, he seems to deliberately slow down the fighting rhythm when facing weaker trainers, which is completely different from his previous self.

......

222 A battle that must be won

"How about it?"

After the two battle videos were played, Dong Qiaoqiao cautiously asked Bai Chen for his opinion.

how about it?

Does this need to be said?

Bai Chen glanced at him speechlessly, is it necessary to ask such a question?Anyway, he has been in the fighting club for more than ten years. If he doesn't even know which line the opponent's level is on, then it's a failure.
