Chapter 64: Farewell
Jeans, a short T-shirt, and a baseball cap, Ah Cheng, who looks like a tomboy, makes Takumi blink twice.
Calming down the rustiness in his heart a little, Takumi opened the door and invited Ah Cheng into the room, and said with a smile.
"Long time no see, Ah Cheng."
"Yikes! You guy used to be flamboyant, obviously I didn't see you for one night, but you deliberately teased me, it looks like you're in a good mood today. ”
Rolling his eyes, Ah Cheng naturally walked into Takumi's room, sat on Takumi's bed and waited for Takumi to finish washing.
Shrugging his shoulders, Takumi picked up his toothbrush and walked to the bathroom, sometimes telling the truth but not being believed by anyone......
After breakfast, Takumi looked at Ah Cheng, who was full of vitality, and asked softly.
"Are you ready to challenge the gym again? Do you want me to lend you the Six-Tails or the Aba Snake? ”
Shaking his head like a rattle, Ah Cheng puffed out his cheeks and said indignantly.
"Takumi, don't underestimate me, after these few days of practice, plus I have carefully thought about how to deal with Mr. Morita's Pokémon, I will definitely be able to successfully win the Red Cloud Badge this time!"
Playing with the kunai in his hand, Takumi didn't say much when he saw this, nodded, and walked towards the Red Cloud Dao Hall with Ah Cheng.
Luckily, Ah Cheng, who got up early, was the first trainer to challenge the gym today, and after the routine registration, a young attendant was ready to lead Ah Cheng and the two to the battlefield.
"Yo, little brother, such a coincidence? You're on duty again today? ”
Looking at the familiar face of the young waiter, Ah Cheng took the initiative to greet him, and Tuohai thought about it for a long time, before he vaguely remembered that when he challenged the gym, it seemed that this person led the way, and he also spent 500 yuan to buy a 'intelligence' from him......
Seeing familiar faces, the young waiter no longer had the idea of selling information, chatted with Takumi and the two from time to time, and soon took the two to the opposite battlefield in a different place from Takuha's last battle.
A gym like this with a large area usually has more than one battle site, so as not to make a fuss because the venue is damaged and the venue needs to be repaired, and the gym trainer can't continue to accept the challenge of the next trainer.
Walking to the edge of the battlefield, the headlights above his head went down, and Morita, who seemed to have not changed his clothes for a week, appeared in front of Takumi and the two.
"It turned out to be the little guy who did well last time, what? Not ready to travel to the next gym city? ”
Holding his black top hat, Morita asked with a look of concern.
"There are still some items that I haven't bought, and I believe I will leave soon, but, Mr. Morita, you have to face the challenge of Ah Cheng now!"
Raising his head and laughing a few times, Morita quickly regained his elegant gentlemanly posture, and the civilized staff lightly pestled the ground, and said lightly.
"There are still two Pokémon available to both sides, newcomer, just let me see how you've improved this week!"
"The last moth, you will be sent in the first battle!"
"Huh? Why isn't it a big armor!? Looking at Ah Cheng on the sidelines and exclaiming, Takumi couldn't help but pat his forehead helplessly.
……
Thirty minutes later, Ah Cheng, who walked out of the gate of the gym with two Poké Balls, looked depressed.
"Why doesn't that guy play his cards according to the routine, I've figured out how to use the big needle bee to deal with his big armor, but he sent a moth that can only use phantom light...... Ouch, why are you playing my head! ”
Withdrawing his right hand casually, Takumi said calmly.
"When you encounter bad guys in the wild, you don't know what Pokémon they will use, even if the Pokémon attribute is restrained, you have to look for a chance to win on the spot, keep up the good work, girl!"
Nodding thoughtfully, Ah Cheng turned his head sideways and was about to say something, but Takumi, who put his hand in his pocket, had already continued.
"I'm probably about to leave Red Cloud City, well, it's three days from now......"
"Huh?"
Ah Cheng stopped suddenly, his beautiful eyes were round, and he almost wrote a few big words on his face, 'extremely unexpected'.
looked at Ah Cheng very calmly, and after a long while, Ah Cheng exhaled lightly, and his tone was a little low.
"Also, Takumi, you are so good, my stupid will not only cause you a lot of trouble on the road, but also delay you more time when you get to the city where the gym is located......"
Flutter!
Ah Cheng, who was depressed, heard the light laughter in his ears, raised his head to look at Takumi, who was holding back his laughter, and suddenly exploded.
"You guy, I'm about to cry, you still have the heart to laugh here!"
After tapping Ah Cheng's head a few times through the baseball cap, Takumi said speechlessly.
"First time separated from friends? It's not that we will never see each other again, why are you so sad? ”
"Huh?!"
"As for the question of strength...... You're only twelve years old, and you're already training with two Pokémon, and when I was twelve, I was still worrying about how to get one! ”
"By the time you're fourteen, you don't think you'll surpass me? What is the collection of eight badges, what is the top 16 of the quartz conference, it will not be an easy task for you at that time? ”
Saying things that seemed to make sense with a natural face, Ah Cheng blinked his eyes a few times before he blushed and whispered.
"How can those be as easy as you say?! There are only more than 200 people who are eligible to participate in the quartz competition every year, and the trainers who collect eight badges to participate in the competition account for half of them, how can I be so powerful......"
"Have a little confidence in yourself...... You have an advantage that most trainers don't have, that is, [studious], as long as you are given time to grow, I believe you will definitely succeed! ”
With a thumbs up in front of Ah Cheng's eyes, Tuo Hai snorted softly and said.
"How? Feeling better? ”
"Hmm~"
……
Three days later, Takumi, who had already resupplied the required items, scratched his head, looking at the new big needle bee in the house, and could only sigh at his luck.
When it can be said that the last time he applied water juice to the carapace of Iron Shell Kun, the body of one of Iron Shell Kun lit up with Takumi's familiar white light.
Originally, he didn't look at the iron shell kun who hadn't evolved at all, and Tuohai, who knew that the iron shell kun couldn't sell for a good price, was ready to send a favor and give the two iron shell kun to Ah Cheng to take care of, and after the evolution, Ah Cheng could make a small profit.
However, this big needle bee may pity his poverty, and before he was ready to leave, he evolved from Ironshell Kun to a big needle bee, so that Takumi could take it in his pocket while Ah Cheng hadn't come over yet, and sell it on the way after he left......
Retrieve the five Pokémon from Miss Joy, and by the way, return your room in the Pokémon Center, and don't rush to leave, just sit and rest on the sofa in the lobby of the Pokémon Center.
After a while, Ah Cheng, whose eyes were red, and it seemed that he had just cried, found Takumi in the hall of the Pokémon Center.
Ah Cheng, who had a crying voice in his mouth, couldn't speak for a long time, and under the smiling gaze of Takumi, Ah Cheng, who was in a good mood for a long time to recover, opened her mouth, and what she wanted to say before was swallowed by her, and what made a sound was just a short sentence.
"Takumi, take care! We'll have a chance to see each other again, right? ”
Handing one of his own iron-shelled kun, as well as Ah Cheng's iron-shelled kun's treasure ball to Ah Cheng, Takuha, who pulled the strap of his backpack, said with great certainty.
"Of course, if you want to have a good chance of meeting me in one place, then next summer's Quartz Conference is a good place to be."
"If nothing else, I should be qualified for quartz next summer!"
He waved his hand at Ah Cheng very freely, and with the blonde girl's smile and wave, Takumi's figure disappeared at the gate of the Pokémon Center.
In the place where Takumi was sitting just now, he lowered his head for a long time, and Ah Cheng, whose eyes were red, wiped his face, and picked up his baby ball with a firm look and walked out of the city.
"Let's start training, starfish, needle bee, let's not be left too far behind by Tuohai!"
The young girl's mind Takumi naturally couldn't guess, and when he left the Pokémon Center, he focused his attention on other things a little, and soon diluted the parting emotions in his mind.
And the so-called 'other things', after ten minutes, become one thing......
Takumi, who got a piece of cardboard, wrote on it in a big way: 'This big needle bee, sell!' These words, a hole was uploaded in the cardboard, threaded with a string, and tied directly to a large needle bee that Takumi had newly obtained.
After thinking about it, Takumi still released the six tails from the baby ball and held it in his arms, showing his strength slightly.
Although most people will have a rough guess about the strength of a trainer who can sell Pokémon, it is inevitable that there will be some strange people in this world who will think that he looks like a teenager and can think about it......
Deterring by force in advance and nipped possible troubles in the bud is really a good thing for a lazy person like Takumi.
A brown-haired boy with six tails, followed by a large needle bee with a sales slogan hanging above his head, directly formed a scenery on the road.
"Big brother, can you sell me this big needle bee? I have my mother's pocket money for this month, which is 500 yuan! ”
This is a little chubby dun with a cone,
"Big brother, I want to be a great trainer like you, but I don't have Pokémon...... Well, there's no money either...... "It's a little boy with a thin build, who looks like he's only six or seven years old.
"Big brother, do you think the color of this big needle bee matches my dress? Lalala, Miyu-chan is so cute, big brother, are you sure you don't give this beautiful big needle bee to Miyu-chan? ”
This is a little Lori who wears a printed dress on a yellow background and feels good about herself.
Sighing weakly, Takumi directly released the Ah Bai snake to scare the bear children away, and gave the big needle bee a piece of cardboard.
"Those who have economic strength will talk in detail, and the bear children will be separated!"
