I, the Pokémon Master, now resign

Monarch Snake can ignore why this familiar bottle appears here, but Bai Chen can't.

Maybe it was out of kindness, or maybe it was out of the sense of responsibility of the former Pokémon master, all of which prompted him to intervene in this matter unconsciously, but in his heart he was worried about what he was about to do next. Feeling irritable and depressed, nothing is easier than the call that is about to be made to determine the source of this familiar potion.

"The potion produced by the Rockets... Even the factory was destroyed, and the goods that were distributed at the beginning were all recycled. I didn't expect it to appear again now. Really... why are the troublesome things connected together? Appear? Or is there any connection between them?"

Bai Chen looked embarrassed, looked at the potion on the table, and then at the phone on the other counter. He finally sighed, got up and walked over as if giving up, and dialed the phone according to the impression in his mind. A number came out.

△

Kanto region, in an office on the second floor of Tokiwa City.

A middle-aged man with a cropped cut finally let out a long sigh of relief after processing the last document issued by the alliance yesterday. He took a sip of the red wine on the table, feeling the stimulation from the alcohol, The man's frown was finally relaxed.

"I didn't expect that the top of the alliance would ask to start a thorough investigation of the hunter organization. It's really rare. It is indeed a high-profit industry. After the bloodbath at the beginning, I didn't expect a new one to emerge so soon."

The man sneered, crossed his legs and squinted his eyes, leaning back on the chair and meditating, but at this moment the phone on the desk suddenly rang.

"Jingle bell~~~"

The ringing of the phone kept ringing in the empty room.

It's getting late now, and someone actually called. Could it be that the alliance has made any new moves?

The man showed a playful expression. After thinking about it, he chose to answer the phone. After all, if it was an important matter and he didn't answer the phone, maybe the impatient official would come to his door the next day. That would still be annoying.

"This is Changpan Gym, what's the matter?"

I just guessed in my heart that the caller might be the alliance, but I couldn't be sure who the man was, so I followed the normal procedure and asked about the identity of the other party first.

"..."

There was an inexplicable silence on the other end of the phone, which felt like the embarrassment of hearing a voice that wasn't what you wanted to hear when you made a wrong call.

Just when the man was about to continue to ask if the other party had made a wrong call, he heard a sigh from the other end.

"Tsk, I thought no one would answer the office phone so late, but I didn't expect you to be a social animal, too?"

"Oh?"

Although the content of the speech was full of sarcasm, the man did not feel any anger or dissatisfaction, but at this moment his boring face suddenly stretched out, and his tone also became cheerful.

"Hehe, I thought who was calling so late, isn't this the former Pokémon master Mr. Bai Chen? Why did you suddenly call me today? Is there any trouble that I have to solve? ?”

The man's tone was full of ridicule, perhaps because it was too unexpected, the man had already put down his wine glass and planned to stop here, but after hearing the voice on the other side of the phone, he raised his wine glass again, swaying Start savoring carefully.

"Tsk."

The voice on the other end of the phone sounded a bit unpleasant.

"By the way, why do you all think it's not a good thing for me to call?"

"Then do you think it's a good thing to find me this time?"

"No."

He affirmed the man's thoughts very surely, and the man shook his head secretly after hearing the affirmation from the other end of the phone.

"Mr. Bai Chen, the former Pokémon master who completely defeated me and my organization at the beginning, but then let me go and asked me to maintain the underground order in the Kanto area, may I ask if you have any trouble finding me this time?"

"Are you still so energetic even though you have been working so late? Mr. Sakagi, the behind-the-scenes boss of the declining Rockets, who is also the current head of the Viki Pan Gym?"

Both of their words were full of ridicule and sarcasm towards each other, but soon, Bai Chen on the other side of the phone seemed to want to end the conversation as soon as possible, so he took the first step to express his intention of making this call.

"Forget it, there is no point in arguing like this. What I want to ask is whether the RM potion you made back then has leaked out, or are you secretly starting to make this kind of thing again?"

When he said this sentence, Bai Chen's tone no longer contained any sense of ridicule, but became very serious, waiting for Sakagi's answer.

"Oh? RM potion?" Sakagi said in surprise first, only heard a low moan from the other end of the phone, and then heard Sakagi say: "Did you see the RM potion?"

"I see, on Tianguan Mountain, there is already a Pokémon who has contracted a disease because of this potion. If it is not discovered in time, it might be over."

RM medicine, the special medicine researched by the R&D personnel of the Rockets in order to allow the organization to catch Pokmon at a lower cost, as long as the Pokmon is contaminated with this medicine, it will be infected with acute symptoms. Weakness and the inability to use skills, it only takes five days for a Pokémon infected with this condition to have no strength to stand up, and if it is not treated in time, it will even lose its life.

However, the antidote of this medicine is also very strange, as long as the general antipyretic medicine can be successfully treated, this is also the intention of the Rocket team's research and development personnel.

The antidote for this special condition is set as an antipyretic that can be seen everywhere, so that after the Rockets drug the wild Pokémon, they can treat them at the lowest price, and then sell them at a good price as usual.

It can be said that this kind of potion was completely used by the Rockets for a long time, but after Bai Chen took part in the task of destroying the Rockets and achieved basic success, the RM potion also fell out of the league with the decline of the Rockets. control gradually disappeared.

......

034 Late Night Call

"So that's the case, Tianguan Mountain..."

On the other end of the phone, I only heard what Sakagi said, and then there was another burst of silence. If it is correct, it should be Sakagi who is thinking about the flow of the medicine.

Sakagi couldn't think of it immediately, and Bai Chen was not in a hurry, but pulled the chair to the side of the phone, and began to slowly wait for the other party's reply.

The waiting time during the period was not too long. About 3 minutes later, Sakagi's reply came from the silent phone: "We have not sold RM medicine on a large scale, but when the reputation of the medicine is spread We've had several people from other regions come to us for samples, and among them were buyers from the Sinnoh region."

"So you just gave it?"

"The Rockets have always been known for their generosity."

Sensing Bai Chen's somewhat helpless tone, Sakagi couldn't help replying with a little complacency and joking.

"Isn't that stuff your core technology? Even if it's a sample, you can't just give it."

"Their bids are very high, and for the Rockets, it doesn't matter whether the guys in other regions are good in the laboratory or in the organization. When we are strong, they are not qualified to set foot in the Kanto region. We have nothing to do with each other."

Sakagi's tone is so calm and confident, as if organizations in other regions are like ants in his eyes. Although it sounds somewhat arrogant, Bai Chen himself understands that what Sakamu said may really be true. What a lie, if he hadn't been inserted into the encirclement and suppression of the Rockets in the middle, it is still unknown what the ending of the Rockets and Sakagi's ending would be.

"..."

Choked speechless by Sakagi's arrogance from the bottom of his heart, Baichen finally choked out a sentence: "Then do you know who is the one who bought samples from the Rockets?"

First he said this, but then Bai Chen seemed to feel that this statement was a bit incomplete, so he simply continued to add: "Or...is the person who bought the samples from you a member of the Hunter Organization?"

"Oh? Hunter Organization?" Sakagi on the other end of the phone whispered as if interested, and then smiled as if understanding. "I said why the workload has suddenly increased so much. It turned out to be thanks to you. If you know that the ultimate culprit is you, how will the champions in various regions feel? It's really interesting."

"What does it have to do with me? Even if you want to blame it, you should blame those unruly guys, and if it's not good, you should blame the alliance that added tasks to you without authorization, right?" Bai Chen retorted immediately, and then quickly changed the topic again. Come over: "Don't digress, so what is your answer to my question?"

"Um...does that even matter? If you were part of an organization that needed to hide your identity, would you identify yourself to the seller for such a small sample purchase?"

"..."

After being said by Sakamu, Bai Chen couldn't say anything anymore.

So what have you been discussing for so long?

"Are you making fun of me? If you don't know, tell me sooner and it's over? My time is also precious!"

"You mean to bask in the sun when you have nothing to do, and at most cook a little food?"

"It's tiring too, okay? Forget it, if it's okay, I'll hang up. You continue to stick to your current 'post' and work hard!"

After Bai Chen finished talking a bit dullly, he planned to hang up the phone, but just as he was about to put down the phone, he heard another sentence from the phone...

"Although I don't know the real identity of the other party, the organizations that purchased samples from us are not simple things. Of course, if it is a head-on confrontation, you will not lose, right? But if the other party is in the dark and finds out It was you who exposed them, and the situation might have been different if you had never acted in the dark, remember to stay vigilant."

beep~~beep~~~~

As soon as this sentence was finished, there were bursts of busy tones coming from the microphone. Before Bai Chen hung up the phone, Sakagi had already hung up the phone, and it was completely impossible to tell that it was him who was speaking a second ago.

The microphone was still suspended in mid-air, although Sakagi said such a warning, but there was no confusion in Bai Chen's eyes.

Time gradually passed by, and the tranquility in the space continued to spread outwards. At this moment, Bai Chen, who had been stunned in place, finally put up the microphone, and he didn't know whether he was answering Sakamu or just saying something. Talking to himself, only to hear such a sentence slowly float out of his mouth:

"The world always coexists with turbidity. You are not the only one who is constantly dealing with filth. As long as the opponent is still in the human category, then no matter who they are, I can't lose, no matter whether they are in the open or in the dark. .”

Just like when Sakamu talked about the Rockets, when Bai Chen said this, his tone also showed incomparable confidence, but it was not to the point of conceit.

And the source of his self-confidence is not only his so-called Pokémon Master title or his past experience, but...

"Lie~"

"Mu~ra..."

The long-haired dog and the cool leopard had already walked behind Bai Chen at some point, because Bai Chen switched the microphone to hands-free during the call, so they also heard the conversation between him and Sakagi just now.

"The opponents this time don't know what stage their strength is at, but these are not important. Remember to be more vigilant from today onwards. It's been a long time since I have dealt with such a thing. I have to work hard for you again."

A gentle smile appeared on Bai Chen's face, when the cool leopard and the long-haired dog came to his side, Bai Chen couldn't help squatting down and gently stroking their heads.

"However, I believe that after dealing with this troublesome matter, I can return to my usual routine, right? At that time..."

Originally, Bai Chen was about to say, "Let's go back to the public area to have a look at that time?", but before the words came out, he couldn't help but think back to when he decided to travel...and when he returned as a Pokémon master I don’t know why I couldn’t say the unspoken words.

"Well... when the time comes... let's go out for a rare trip, shall we?"

In the end, Bai Chen still couldn't directly say the words of Huizhong. After all, even Bai Chen himself can't tell clearly how he feels about the Hezhong area, or about Leiwen City, or about his family.

.......

035 Gifts from the Snow Hat Monsters

Time passed day by day, and the RM medicine received from Mr. Taichi before was passed on to the police station in Shuran Town after being conveyed by his stepson and aunt. Although the hope was slim, Bai Chen still hoped that the local Junsha Miss can use this to find clues related to that hunter organization, or an unknown organization that used this potion.

Although a lot of troubles happened suddenly a few days ago, after the phone call with Sakagi, all the previous busyness seems to have disappeared, and now Bai Chen has returned to Ping Fan's daily life.

After a few days of slump in the store, with the normal business of the coffee shop, everything is back on track, and the customers are gradually coming back.

"Hey~ I said boss~ Why have you been so inaccurate about the opening time of the store recently? Sometimes it's rare that I finish work early in the afternoon and want to come to touch...to visit you, but I have been here several times. It’s not okay to close the door on weekdays.”

The one who spoke was the owner of the butcher shop in Random Town. At this time, he was complaining to Bai Chen about his previous experiences. Coincidentally, he bumps into him almost every time, so it's no wonder that the other party suspects that Bai Chen has started fishing in an open and honest manner.

"Because there were a few more troublesome commissions in the previous Wanshiwu, but now they have basically been resolved, so the coffee shop can operate normally. After all, I still focus on the work of Wanshiwu~ Really not Sorry."

Bai Chen smiled a little embarrassedly, and said so to the butcher shop owner.

"Sigh~ So with your craftsmanship, it's a bit of a waste to regard Wanshiwu as your main business..."

I took a bite of the tonkatsu sandwich in my hand, feeling a burst of hot and delicious gravy blooming in my mouth, followed by the softness and slightly sweetness of the bread, and the crispness of the deep-fried The meat steak echoed each other, and this delicacy almost made him cry out.

"Forget it, after all, everyone has their own ambitions, but it's still incredible that a simple tonkatsu sandwich can be made to such a level."

The first thing he ate was the hot tonkatsu, and the next moment he took another sip of the iced coffee specially prepared by Bai Chen, an indescribable sense of satisfaction naturally emerged from the heart of the butcher shop owner, and he couldn't help expressing such emotion.

"As long as you like it."

Seeing the satisfied look of the owner of the butcher shop, Bai Chen chuckled in satisfaction.

Although the coffee shop is not his main business, seeing the satisfied smiles on the customers' faces while enjoying the food he made, Bai Chen felt that it was a good idea to open such a shop.

ding bell~~

A bell rang at the door, and another visitor came.

"Then I'll entertain other people first, and you can rest here."

"Um... wu~en, I, I got it."

First, he uttered a few yelps of unknown meaning, which seemed to be scalded by eating too fast. Looking at the owner of the butcher shop, Bai Chen couldn't help but shook his head with a smile and stopped paying attention. Anyway, he ordered 3 tonkatsu sandwiches in one go, which was enough to eat for a while, but according to his habit, there should be a few pieces left over to take home with his wife.

With that in mind, Bai Chen had already walked to the door of the store.

"Welcome, may I ask what you need...huh? Mr. Taichi? Welcome!"

Only halfway through the conversation, Bai Chen suddenly found out that the person who came was Mr. Taichi whom he hadn't seen for a few days, so he couldn't help but greet him enthusiastically, and Taichi also nodded and greeted Bai Chen. call.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, Mr. Bai Chen, I have something to bring you this time. By the way... Is there any more of the pork cutlet sandwich?"

When talking about the way, Tai Chi's face suddenly became a little embarrassed, he leaned close to Bai Chen's side and asked in a low voice, he didn't know why he had to be so careful.

"Of course I have, but is it a gift... In fact, there is really no need to trouble, after all, I only received the commission from my stepson and aunt..."

"No, no, I didn't give the gift, you made a mistake."

Bai Chen didn't even finish his refusal before he was completely interrupted by Tai Chi. He wanted to continue asking, but it seemed a little bad to talk about it standing at the door of the store, so Bai Chen still invited Mr. Tai Chi first. Come in and listen to the explanation.

△

"Please use."

After welcoming Mr. Tai Chi to his seat, Bai Chen quickly handed him a glass of lemonade.

As long as there is enough time to prepare, Bai Chen will serve a glass of lemonade no matter whether the visitor wants to order or not, and this has long been a subtle rule in this coffee shop.

"Thank you."

Mr. Taichi took the lemonade, and immediately raised his head and took a big sip, and then made a comfortable sound, as if he rushed over in a hurry.

"But I haven't observed carefully before. Mr. Bai Chen, your Pokmon are really well trained. You can see how strong they are just by looking at them. Sure enough, you are not an ordinary trainer. Bar."

After putting down the lemonade, Taichi couldn't help turning his eyes to the long-haired dog and cool leopard who were picking up the guests, and couldn't help but praise him.
