I, the Pokémon Master, now resign

Regardless of what Ma Li is thinking right now, she has already regarded Ma Li as an opponent and a wing that must surpass, so she just took a step forward, stretched out her hand to point at Ma Li, and said in a firm tone:

"When I succeed in the future, I will definitely go to the Galar region to find you! At that time, I will definitely defeat you!"

"Then let's train harder."

Mary is still not very good at expressing herself, especially in such occasions.

But even so, Yi could tell that Ma Li should be in a good mood now, and there was already a gratifying smile on her plain expression.

However, Ma Li's expression seemed to be misinterpreted by Yi, thinking that Ma Li was just comforting herself, Yi clenched his fists and murmured in dissatisfaction, as if he was whispering his own words. It is a plan to defeat Ma Li in the future, but it is a pity that Ma Li did not hear these words.

"Then the time is up, let's talk again when we have a chance, goodbye~"

"Goodbye."

Bai Chen walked out towards the intersection with Ma Li, waving his hands to say goodbye to the three of them. Dong Qiaozhi and others also waved their hands in the same manner, shouting goodbye to Bai Chen and Ma Li.

In this way, the second stop of Bai Chen and Ma Li's short journey came to an end.

"Next, I'll take a look...um...it's Sanyo City, and it's also a place worth remembering, but the road to Sanyo City was a bit problematic at the beginning, and I don't know if the alliance is doing well now."

Looking at the map in his hand, Bai Chen had a look of nostalgia on his face. At first, he thought that this trip was just to accumulate experience for Mary, but now it seems that this return trip is also a way for him to face the past completely. best time.

From this point of view, he is still no match for Kameizrei after all.

Walking on the road leading to Sanyao City, seeing Bai Chen next to him looking like he was reminiscing, Ma Li lowered her head, closed her eyes, and was thinking about what Bai Chen said to Kakinuma Chuang after the game If so, ask:

"Teacher Bai Chen, you won 100 consecutive victories when you debuted, did you really not realize it at all?"

"Well~ well~ the consciousness is of course aware of it. After all, I have been winning, but it doesn't mean that I should care about it? After all, I can be said to have gone to an extreme. My mind is full of nothing but victory and becoming stronger. Without other things, the me back then and the me now should give people the impression that they are two completely different people~”

Bai Chen stretched his somewhat stiff body, felt the warm sunshine from the sky, and replied with such a smile.

"That's why I hope that you, Ma Li, can find a better path. It may be your ultimate goal to become stronger, but if you miss all the scenery along the way, it will be a pity for you in the future. thing."

"Ah."

Ma Li's answer was very simple, she just answered ah, but such a simple answer already represented her determination to Ma Li.

......

248 Lost, the forest east of Sanyo City

After leaving Tangcao Town and saying goodbye to George Dong and the others, Bai Chen and Ma Li started non-stop towards the next town, Sanyao City.

Logically speaking, if you walk the right way, even though you can't reach Sanyo City within a day, you can still go to the two transit towns in the middle. No matter what, you won't be living in the wild, but——

"That, Bai Chen...teacher..."

"Ah? Huh? What's the matter? It's almost there, don't worry, the map shows that the nearest town to Tangcao Town is almost there."

Marie's plain but slightly indifferent questioning voice came from next to his ear, Bai Chen didn't care about anything, but still looked at the map in his hand with his head buried in the weak light source provided by the flashlight.

Maybe it was because she wanted to remind Bai Chen out of good intentions, or because she couldn't stand Bai Chen's evasive behavior, Ma Li finally stopped in front of Bai Chen, put her hands on her hips, and stared at him. Said clearly in one sentence:

"The most important issue right now shouldn't be here!" Ma Li said, "Haven't you recognized the reality! Isn't this a wilderness? How can there be towns nearby? This situation is simply lost. !"

After being pointed out so bluntly by Ma Li, Bai Chen finally couldn't hide it any longer, and slowly pulled down the map that was blocking his face, and the light of the flashlight revealed Bai Chen's guilty conscience.

"Ah~ It's so strange... I didn't expect to get lost here~ Obviously I remember that when I got lost here, I didn't go here."

"...Although I was a little aware of it before, but you are not a road idiot... You should follow the road at the intersection just now, right? Ordinary people would really be in that situation Choose to take the weedy path?"

"..."

There is no way to refute it. Before that, Bai Chen walked well according to the signs on the map, but at an intersection that was not recorded on the map more than half an hour ago, Bai Chen made a wrong choice.Just like Ma Li said, between the wide avenue and the dark alley full of weeds, Bai Chen resolutely chose the latter.

Want to ask why?It's not that he doesn't have common sense, it's just because Bai Chen summed up such an experience based on the experience of getting lost here -

The so-called avenues are all lies!The real roads are often those unnoticed trails!

When he first started traveling that year, it was also on the way from Tangcao Town to Sanyao City. Bai Chen was lost for three days because he chose the main road and the small road. In such a situation of choosing one of the two, incredible decisions are often made.

But until now, Bai Chen didn't know that his getting lost back then was just because he found a Pokémon on the avenue, and then he followed the other party and strayed into the range of that trail. His getting lost back then and his choice It doesn't matter at all.

"Hey... please give me the map, I will lead the way later..."

"Yes... I'm really sorry..."

I don't know why, maybe it's because of a guilty conscience. At this moment, Bai Chen and Ma Li seem to have switched identities. Bai Chen doesn't look like a teacher at all, but Ma Li's performance looks more mature too much.

After handing over the map to Ma Li, Bai Chen did not forget to use the flashlight to take pictures for her. After carefully looking at the map and thinking about the road they had traveled before, Ma Li slowly used her fingers to I clicked on the map and said:

"Maybe, where are we now?"

Because there are a lot of roads that have been traveled before, Ma Li is not very sure at the moment, but looking at what she pointed, Bai Chen found that Ma Li thinks that they are now in the east of Sanyo City. In the big forest.The map shows that the surrounding area of ​​the forest is barren, let alone a city, not even a small town.

"Are you going to spend the night here..."

Looking at the information displayed on the area, Bai Chen sighed helplessly, but compared to Bai Chen, Ma Li looked a little excited.

Ma Li's mood is understandable to Bai Chen. As a Pokémon trainer, the feeling of spending the night in the wild for the first time must be different.Even though Bai Chen had only been able to reach the finish line in the ranks of trainers back then, the night he spent in the forest on the first day was still so clear in his mind.

However, the difference between now and then is that——

"I didn't prepare tents and sleeping bags..."

"Hmm...it seems...really?"

After being reminded by Bai Chen, Ma Li suddenly realized what situation they were in now.

It's winter now, and they have no other measures to keep warm except for the down jackets on their bodies, and this is a forest, which is dangerous in itself. We can't let Pokmon stand guard all night, and then they sleep together to keep warm Bar?

Because Bai Chen had already planned the route and time before coming here, so he always thought that it was impossible for them to camp before arriving in Sanyao City, so he didn't bring sleeping bags and other things with him. who would have thought...

"Then what do we do now...?"

Because of her lack of experience, Ma Li could only cast her eyes on Bai Chen for help, even Bai Chen had nothing to do about the current situation.

Although he also encountered such a situation when he was traveling before, he would stay up all night at this time to review the recent combat experience and lessons, and now let’s not mention whether he can still stay up all night On the next day, he continued on his way. Even if he could, he couldn't let Mary go with him, could he?

"Hey, I can only take a look around to see if there are any dead branches and leaves. I can only sleep on it tonight."

In the end, Bai Chen still chose the most helpless solution, which is to use branches and fallen leaves to build a temporary place to lie down. As for the problem of catching cold... set up a fire next to him, and ask his Pokmon to help look at it. Is it okay?Better than just lying on the cold grass this season, right?

"Lying on fallen leaves?"

After hearing what Bai Chen said, Ma Li unexpectedly showed a look of excitement on her face, Bai Chen could only shrug her shoulders, thinking how good it is to be young.

......

249 Abandoned house in the forest

"Su~su~"

In the silent forest at night, Bai Chen and Ma Li stepped on the grass cautiously, making a lot of noise as they walked through it.

Although it was in the forest, it was not easy to quickly find dead branches and a large number of fallen leaves at this time. At least ten minutes had passed since Bai Chen made this suggestion, and they still found nothing.

However, although they didn't see many dead branches, it was worth mentioning that there were quite a few fruit trees in this forest. Although they didn't harvest what they wanted, they had already picked a lot of fruit.

And it's also strange that there are no wild Pokmon living next to the fruit trees in this forest. This situation is absolutely not seen in ordinary forests.Perhaps the memory of previous trips was awakened in this environment. Bai Chen has been fully alert since just now, and Mary also encountered a similar situation in the winter camp, so she was also temporarily worried. Not daring to be careless, just sticking close to Bai Chen and moving forward.

The light of the flashlight is limited, and it can only illuminate a small area in front of it. The visible range of the field of vision is not large, only a short distance of 3 or 4 meters.No one knows what will happen in the forest in the dark night. Although the area between Sanyao City and Tangcao Town should be regarded as a novice area, there are no powerful Pokémon in the middle, but in such a sparsely populated place, everything All common sense should be discarded, this is the winning move for trainers to keep their lives safe in the wild.

"It's really not a way to find it like this... If it really doesn't work, I can only find an open space to stay."

After walking for such a long period of time, there is still no gain, perhaps because the range of sight is too small, but it is true that Bai Chen and Ma Li's physical strength is gradually being worn down by such a fruitless advance, and they have not felt anything unusual before. At this moment, the two of them could not help smelling the faint scent of tree fruit floating from their side. Now, compared with the problem of sleeping, they both want to find a place where they can finish their meal quietly.

"Come out, Scorpio King!"

Now that the goal has changed, the role of the Scorpion King can be reflected. Although it is not easy for the Scorpion King to carry them forward at night, it is still no problem to ask the Scorpion King to find a clearing in the forest in the air.

After getting his mission, the Scorpio King flew towards the distance without any hesitation, leaving Bai Chen and Ma Li behind.

"Let's eat some berries to fill your stomach first~"

Now that his work has been put down for the time being, of course Bai Chen and Ma Li don't need to move on. In order to replenish their strength, Bai Chen suggested this to Ma Li.

And Mary, who was already a little hungry, of course would not object to this proposal, she nodded and enjoyed the sweet peaches she had just picked.

weird feeling...

Ma Li on the other side seemed to have lost a lot of vigilance just now when she ate, but Bai Chen still didn't seem to relax, because this forest really felt a little strange, but it was a bit strange. It's not that there are no wild Pokémon, but that the density of wild Pokémon is too low, and it doesn't look like a large forest at all.

Hope it's just my illusion...

He used the flashlight to observe the surroundings for a while, but still found nothing special, so Bai Chen had no choice but to give up, just praying in his heart that no accident would happen.

......

"Gli—!"

After a while, a purple figure appeared in the dark sky, and the Scorpion King let out a high-pitched cry, as if he had found his target.

"Did you find anything?"

Bai Chen raised his head and saw that the Scorpio King didn't seem to be flying down. It seemed that he had found an open space. Seeing this, the two of them put all the berries they picked before into their backpacks, and continued to fly under the leadership of the Scorpio King. Go forward.

After walking for less than 10 minutes, the Scorpion King landed on the ground and waited for them after crossing a dark grassy field.

"Is it here?"

At the exit of a section of forest, Bai Chen has not yet seen the whole picture of the open space in front of him, he only knows that there is indeed an area in front of him without trees and weeds, it seems that he has reached his destination.

With the idea of ​​wanting to take a rest as soon as possible, Bai Chen and Ma Li speeded up their progress at the same time. After walking out of the forest area, an open space appeared in front of them, but...it seemed to be the same as imagined. different?

"Is this... a house?"

"In such a forest? It feels so weird..."

Walking to the open space, what attracted the eyes of the two was not only a wide field of vision, but also a house that looked particularly eerie and weird under the illumination of the flashlight.

With the faint light, Bai Chen could see that the house in front of him should have been abandoned for a long time. Weeds grew all around the house. Traces of collapse and damage.

Even before entering the house, the two of them already had a feeling of wanting to stay away from here.

It's not a question of whether you're afraid or not, after all, you've already been to the Lost Tower, and it's nothing compared to that.

It's just a house that has problems at first glance, so it must be impossible to just walk in like this?Leaving aside whether there are any problems with the house itself, just saying that such a place will definitely become the best choice for ghost-type Pokmon to live in, right?At the thought of dealing with mischievous people again, Mary thought it would be better to stay outside.

"Let the soul-hunting eye go in and take a look first. If there are ghost-type Pokémon, it's best to negotiate with them. After all, this is their territory."

Faced with such a situation, Bai Chen felt somewhat helpless, but the house was in front of him, and if he didn't go in, he would lose something, so Bai Chen could only give such a solution.

"Ah."

Mary nodded, released the soul-hunting eye, and asked it to take a look inside, and greeted the ghost-type Pokémon living here, the soul-hunting eye nodded and set off directly.

He should be used to living in such an environment, and the time spent from departure to return is only 3 minutes, but when the Soul Eye came back to report, it just shook its head at Ma Li and Bai Chen, and shook its head. The arm seems to be expressing something.

"Huh? Do you mean..."

"Aren't there ghost-type Pokmon in here?"

Bai Chen and Ma Li looked at each other, the surprise in each other's eyes was self-evident.

..............

250 Temporary Settlement

There are no ghost-type Pokémon living in such a place, which is beyond the imagination of Ma Li and Bai Chen.

But it was also because of this that Bai Chen's strange premonition intensified.

"Anyway, let's go in and have a look."

"Um……"

The strange forest, the strange atmosphere, and the impact of the environment on people are now beginning to be deeply felt by Mary. The depression here is not like the Lost Tower, but a heavier and weirder feeling.

Bai Chen walked in front, Ma Li followed behind, and Soul-hunting Eye was acting as a bodyguard and carefully followed the two of them, carefully keeping a lot of the surrounding situation, so that in case of any accident, he could act immediately. respond.

After walking for a while, several people walked around the broken towering wall and walked to the front of the house.

With the help of the light, Bai Chen and Ma Li suddenly found that the area of ​​the house seemed to be a little bigger than they imagined.

Because of the angle of view, the two only saw the side of the house at first glance, and the rest was blocked by the tallest house.

"Aren't there ghost-type Pokémon in other places?"

Although Ma Li felt that the soul-hunting eye should not make such a low-level mistake, she still asked just in case, because the soul-hunting eye came back really fast.

"Ya~mi"

Sure enough, Hooking Eyes nodded his head swearingly, expressing that there was indeed no problem with what he said, and Bai Chen on the side also explained to him:

"Generally, Pokémon of the same attribute will have a special induction ability, but this induction ability will be most obvious in a few attributes, such as - electric type, ghost type, super power, etc., so As Hookhunyan said, there should be no ghost-type Pokémon living here."
