I, the Pokémon Master, now resign

"That's it. Anyway, I will solve the trouble you caused me. See you later, bye."

"bye."

After a brief farewell, Bai Chen hung up the phone and came back to the waiting area.

At this time, when Bai Chen just sat down, the red light on the operating room went out.

Surgery is over.

Seeing the tired Miss Joy walking out slowly with the lucky egg, Bai Chen couldn't help but leaned forward to ask Absolu's situation.

"Thank you for your hard work. Is Absolu okay?"

"Well, because the rescue was timely, there was no irreversible damage at all." Ms. Joy breathed a sigh of relief, and her slightly thankful tone seemed to reveal how dangerous the operation just now was. "Although it is temporarily out of danger, please don't forget to change its dressing regularly, and don't let it engage in strenuous activities in the past month. If the wound opens again, it will be troublesome."

"I see, thank you very much. Now that the operation is over, can I go in and see it?"

"This is no problem, because Absol has woken up."

Joey replied quickly, because the operation went smoothly and there was no unnecessary danger.

"By the way, there is nothing wrong with visiting Absol, it's just..."

"only?"

Bai Chen, who had been completely relieved before, couldn't help suspending his heart that had been relieved after hearing Miss Joy's tone.

"Maybe it's because of being hurt. Now Absol is still full of wariness towards humans. If you want to visit it, please try to avoid all actions and topics that may cause problems, please."

Miss Joy bowed her head slightly to Bai Chen after she finished speaking, it seemed that she was really worried about Absolu's situation.

Facing Miss Joy like this, Bai Chen would naturally not let her down. He patted his chest and promised Miss Joy:

"Please rest assured and leave it to me, I am very experienced in communicating with such Pokémon~"

What Bai Chen said was not a lie, he had indeed seen countless injured Pokémon on his way to become a Pokémon master.

Abandoned cruelly by trainers, alienated by Pokémon of the same race for special reasons, hurt by humans similar to Pokémon hunters...

Bai Chen has seen too many incidents like this, and he has acted as a psychological counselor more than once to comfort those injured Pokémon during the past journeys, and some of them have chosen to follow him side, like the monarch snake...

Pushing open the door of the ward, Absolu was lying on the bed with a tired face, and his face was much worse than before. Of course, this does not mean that the treatment is useless, but that he was in the random forest before. It may have been trying to force itself during the battle, not wanting to show any weakness in front of humans, so its expression was not bad at that time.

"How is your recovery? Do you feel okay?"

Bai Chen walked towards Absolu and asked him this question with an undisguised smile on his face.

Perhaps the other party also knew his situation, so this time when Bai Chen approached it, it did not show the same hostility as at the beginning, but it was still not difficult to see its affection for Bai Chen from the way it turned its head. The attitude doesn't seem very friendly.

"Hmm~"

Seeing that Absolu didn't seem to have the desire to communicate with him, Bai Chen didn't feel much lost, but sat on the stool beside Absolu's bed very familiarly, just watching it quietly .

"Being attacked by humans, so you no longer trust humans?"

Without any twists and turns, Bai Chen asked directly... No, he just told the fact, and there was absolutely no room for Absolu to refute in his tone.

"..."

After Absolu on the hospital bed heard Bai Chen's words, his injured hind leg visibly trembled, obviously being hit by the words, but even so, it still didn't respond to Bai Chen, and remained on the spot as if It's just like getting petrochemical power.

"Still unwilling to answer..."

Bai Chen was not discouraged by this, but he also knew that Absolu's injury had just been relieved, and he couldn't say more things now.

So far, the conversation was ended by Bai Chen very simply, he got up and walked towards the gate, as calm and natural as when he came in.

"By the way~ Although this sentence may sound unreasonable, because I haven't experienced it myself, and it may not be convincing to you, but I still want to say it."

Walking to the gate, Bai Chen silently turned his head as if remembering something, looked at Absolu who was still lying alone on the bed, and expressed his thoughts:

"If you are still angry with human beings, I'm just saying sorry to you on behalf of the individual again, but you must know that no matter whether it is human beings or Pokmon, there will always be some such unreasonable guys, but if it is because of individual It would be too radical to deny all human beings because of the case.”

Hearing this, Absolu's head trembled slightly, and Bai Chen was not in a hurry, so he stopped at this point, turned his head and continued to walk out, and at the same time did not forget to add:

"Anyway, that's what I mean~ You can accept it or reject it~ In short, I will come to take care of you and help you change your medicine in the next short period of time. Please give me your advice~~"

The figure of Bai Chen waving his right hand to say goodbye gradually faded into Absolu's peripheral vision. When the room returned to the silence of a person again, Absolu couldn't help lowering his head, and his eyes fluctuated slightly , I don't know what it is thinking.

......

013 The client comes again, the new strategy is...

Two days later, in a random coffee shop...

"Oh~ What a troublesome guy~ I said that the day before yesterday, but I didn't expect it to be unwilling to accept me~ I thought I could conquer it quickly with my extraordinary personal charm, it seems that I want to There are too many~”

Lying on the front desk in a powerless posture, Bai Chen just narrated things about Absolu lightly, as for the cool leopard and the long-haired dog, they just quietly lay on the side as competent listeners.

It's already been a weekend, and Absolu still doesn't have any inclination to communicate with himself, which Bai Chen didn't expect.Originally, based on the experience I have summed up over the years, even if I can't communicate with myself calmly, I should temporarily vent my anger on myself, right?But Absol unexpectedly had no choice. Could it be that the scale of the incident this time was not as small as he thought?But it shouldn't be?Sirona clearly said that the range of activities of this hunter group is not large, and it only captures a few Pokémon each time, just because it is afraid of attracting the attention of the alliance.

"It would be great if Absol was in the same situation as you... and you don't have to worry about so many problems, and it's easy to solve~~"

Speaking of this, Bai Chen couldn't help but glanced at the long-haired dog and cool leopard lying on the side, and the other party got up and left after hearing that Bai Chen might want to talk about him, and returned to his work. Up—next to the door of the cafe.

After all, whether it is a human or a Pokémon, they don't like to eat melons and eat them on their own bodies~

Listen to other people's scandals?Can!

Listen to your own scandals?no!

Bai Chen can probably understand their feelings, just like the attitude of the champions including Sirona after he won the title of Pokémon Master...

"Damn it, I was really tricked. Fortunately, I reacted quickly enough and resigned early in the morning, otherwise I would have fallen into the trap of those guys now."

Bai Chen sighed, but when he saw the door being pushed in the next moment, he knew that his work was about to start today, and these things related to Wanshiwu could only be put aside for the time being, and now he is a coffee shop The boss is right.

"Okay~ work work!"

Bai Chen patted his cheek and started a new day's work.

......

As dusk fell, the orange sunset dyed the world red, and the coffee shop was about to close after sending off the last customer of the day.

"Huh~ Is it finally over... Today's business feels particularly good."

Patting his already stiff head with his hand, Bai Chen couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

At this time, the long-haired dog and the cool leopard who were sitting quietly in front turned their gazes to him, wagging their tails and at the same time their eyes were full of contempt, as if they wanted to remind him of something.

Of course, Bai Chen also understands what they want to say, isn't it just that he has been closed for three days on weekends, and the residents of the same town are a little concerned about their living conditions~

Really, I know it even if I don’t need to be reminded. In other words, I always feel that their concern for me seems to be getting stronger and stronger recently. Is it not difficult to tell them about my life?Even if the two stores have closed down, I can still live on the bonus I earned from the alliance for more than ten years~ But no one would believe that, right?

Although they are Pokémon masters, there are no records in newspapers and magazines. If they really say that, the next thing they should worry about is not their own living conditions, but whether there is any problem with their brains.

"Ah... as expected, let's forget about it~"

Bai Chen sighed and finally gave up his plan. After all, there is nothing wrong with being cared about. So many people come here to chat with the residents of the town every day. This feeling is not bad. Not bad.

Just as Bai Chen was thinking this way, Kubao and Long-haired Dog got up slowly as if they felt something first, their eyes were all focused on the closed door, and Bai Chen, who noticed the abnormality of the two, also turned his eyes away. .

In the next second, the door with the signboard Close was gently pushed open.

"That...excuse me...is Mr. Bai Chen in?"

The one who walked in was none other than A Yan, the boy from the town who issued a commission request to Bai Chen three days ago.

"Huh? Are you here today?"

For A Yan's arrival, Bai Chen was a little surprised.Because although he accepted the other party's entrustment at the beginning, Bai Chen did not say when to complete the task, and in the past two days, Bai Chen has tried his best to build a good relationship with Absolu, let alone explain Absolu's situation to Ayan I don't even have time to open a shop.

Of course, Bai Chen's words were just casual, but to A Yan, who was already a little frightened, this inadvertent sentence was like an order to chase away guests.

"Yes, I'm sorry! I shouldn't be urging you, I'm just a little curious, I'm sorry, I'm leaving now!"

After Ah Yan finished speaking, he really turned around and wanted to leave here, but Bai Chen stopped him in time.

Really, this kid is too honest, right?Aren't children of this age generally representative of bear children?It's too late to even make trouble every day, how can I be so respectful to people... But compared to the state of the bear child, it's better for Ah Yan to stay like this...

Bai Chen's mental activities ended soon, he set his eyes on A Yan, and said with a little apology:

"No, I didn't mean to urge you to leave. Please don't get me wrong. It's just that the commission is stuck in an embarrassing place so far, so it can't be said to be completed." When Bai Chen said this, he seemed to have an idea in his heart. With a 'conspiracy' smile, he greeted Ah Yan to come over. "By the way, if it's Ah Yan, you might be able to help, how about it? Would you like to come and hear about that Pokémon?"

A Yan's body visibly trembled after listening to Bai Chen's words, and the expression in his small eyes was unbelievable.With a trembling and unconfident look in his eyes, he stretched out a slightly trembling finger and pointed at himself.

"Me? I...can I really help...?"

"Well! It might be better to say that this task might be difficult to solve without you."

Bai Chen nodded, without any clues in his expression, in A Yan's eyes, there was only sincerity in his eyes.

"I... I know! If there is anything I can do to help, I will do my best!"

"Well, please."

014 Absol's Past

As the moonlight falls, the gentle moonlight dotted this wilderness town, adding warmth and tranquility to it.

Naturally, the night view of a small town cannot be compared with that of a big town. Most stores will be closed at night, and there are no other light sources on the road except for a few scattered street lights. As a result, at night, pedestrians in twos and threes on the road must pay special attention. , in case the event of stepping on the air and falling down occurs.

But in this darkness, there is only one brightly lit place, and that is the Pokémon Center.

Travelers across the country generally don't have much concept of time. Perhaps at one or two o'clock in the morning, they will give up the option of camping in the wild because the location is relatively close to the city, so that they don't stay at the Pokémon Center until midnight.

Another reason is that the wild is usually more dangerous, and you may be attacked by wild Pokmon at any time, causing the Pokmon you carry to be injured to varying degrees. After being healed, the Pokémon Center adopted a 24-hour non-rest policy.

But of course, even though the sky has darkened now, the streets are not empty, and there are still many people taking a walk after dinner, and at this moment, a voice of greeting comes from the quiet Pokémon Center. .....

"Hello~ I'm here again~ Did you miss me?"

After Bai Chen came to the Pokémon Center, he didn't pause any longer, but went straight to Absolu's ward. Ms. Joy, who was guarding the front desk, didn't stop her, as if everything was commonplace.

"Abo..."

Seeing Bai Chen walking in with the familiar look of an old friend, Absolu's original calm expression instantly dropped.

Although he has been in contact for so many days, Absol also knows that Baichen has no malice towards him, but the past experience is still unforgettable, and Absol still will not accept the inexplicable kindness of human beings.

"Tsk, at least put on a happy expression~" Bai Chen clicked his lips, and he didn't show any unhappy expression when facing Absolu's disgust, he just sat on its side as usual. side. "By the way, didn't you ask me why I wanted to help you when I brought you here? How about it, do you want to know the answer~"

Recalling the second day after rescuing Absolu, looking at himself when he changed his dressing, Absolu seemed to have something on his mind, Bai Chen couldn't help guessing.

Of course, this is not a guess without evidence. After combining the fact that the other party was injured by a Pokémon hunter and began to alienate humans, Bai Chen probably also knows that he doesn't trust humans in his heart. Human beings who have hurt themselves and caused themselves to be displaced will help it without any reward today in the near future?

In theory, such a situation is difficult to appear in reality, right?

After hearing what Bai Chen said, Absolu did not show the same resistance as before, but turned his head. Although his eyes still kept a deliberate distance, Absolu's gesture was finally He started to look directly at Bai Chen.

"Really?"

Bai Chen nodded as if something was going on, and said to himself.

Although I guessed this situation two days ago, but at that time, after all, I still had to abide by professional ethics and keep the client secret, even if the client was just a child, but after getting the other party's consent today, Bai Chen naturally didn't have to After continuing to take a long detour, he stretched out his hand, pretending to beckon to the outside world and said:

"It's alright, come in."

"?"

Accompanied by Absol's suspicious eyes, a thin figure slowly came from outside the door.

Human child?

The confusion in Absol's eyes not only didn't fade away, but even worsened, as if he couldn't understand Bai Chen's meaning at all.

"Did I say it before? Whether it's a human or a Pokémon, there's a mixture of good and bad, and I'm neither a good person nor a bad person. I will save you purely because of this child."

Speaking of this, Bai Chen threw all the topic to A Yan who was standing beside him with his head down, as if nothing happened, and A Yan trembled uncontrollably after hearing Bai Chen's words, and then slowly raised his head Look at Absolu.

"That... that... because when I saw you that day, your leg seemed to be hurt... But... I dare not rely on you, so I can only ask Mr. Bai Chen to treat you... I'm... sorry!"

"..."

Staring at Ayan quietly, Absolu didn't react at all, the disbelief in his eyes was beyond words, he remembered Ayan, the child who stepped into the forest that day.

But it was because he still remembered him that Absol felt strange.

It really doesn't understand.

Why was he able to speak out so plainly that he wanted to help himself when he was almost hurt by himself?Even if he was really hurt, what did it matter to him?

Really, I really don't understand...?

Contradictory thoughts kept colliding back and forth in his mind, and Absol's expression changed from doubt to pain.In fact, it knows it in its heart, and of course it knows why the other party wants to help itself so selflessly... After all... it also lived in such an environment before...
