Chapter 208: Abnormal Movement
""Illustration of Common Pokémon in the Guandu Region", "Introduction to Pokémon Cultivation", among the seven books, these two books are a bit interesting."
Placing the two books in front of him, Takumi sighed lightly and glanced at the other five books that he had pushed aside.
Culture, mathematics, etiquette, music, painting, these subjects are really not attractive to Takumi, who has decided to go black on the path of trainer.
For Takumi, the knowledge related to Pokémon trainers and breeders is the knowledge he wants to know, even if he retreats a little, it is also the knowledge of wild survival, geographical environment, etc., which is more attractive than these.
It's not that knowledge is noble or cheap, but the road to expand the sea is not here, that's all.
As the "Illustrated Pokémon Common in the Kanto Region" was unfolded, Takumi's attention was immediately attracted by the pictures and words in the book.
"It turns out that there is a level in this world, but it's not the level of experience points from fighting monsters in the game, but the level determined by research data such as Pokémon's physical fitness and the amount of energy in the body."
"However, for a trainer like me, there is no practicality."
"It's just that these explanations of Pokémon's habits, characteristics, and habitats seem useless, but they can just fill in the gaps in my knowledge......"
As Takumi gradually immersed himself in words and pictures, he also ignored the passage of time.
"Knock knock~"
The sound of tapping on the table made Takumi suddenly look up, and looking at Yamamoto who pointed to the library clock, Takumi was surprised to find that he had been sitting here for nearly four hours.
"As a friendly reminder, the library closes at nine o'clock in the evening, but for now, I think it's better for you to go to dinner."
Picking up the five books that Takumi piled up in the corner of the table, shaking his head and refusing Takumi's move to reach out and take it, Yamamoto spoke slowly, and the object of his speech was naturally Takumi who picked up the other two books and followed him.
"Seeing you is like seeing me in the past, trying to absorb any knowledge about Pokémon, improve my strength, and then go to various places to practice, it's really nostalgic......"
"When I first came here, I was hungry for the knowledge in these books, even if they were just ordinary textbooks in the eyes of those little ghosts......"
"And you're going to stay here and not leave?"
The corners of Yamamoto's mouth twitched, and he listened to Takumi's inquiry, so he had to say in the tone of a person who had come over.
"Become a Pokémon trainer and keep getting stronger, for what? Isn't it just to live a better life? ”
"And I'm teaching here, and by the way, I'm a part-time librarian, and my monthly income is already more than that of most trainers, so what am I going to do in the wilderness for hard cultivation?"
"I reminded you because you have a lot of eyes, since you are also looking for a lucrative job in the future, why not seize the opportunity now?"
Placing the two books in his hand on Yamamoto's desk, Takumi shook his head with a smile, and without saying much, turned around and walked out of the library.
Looking at Takumi's back, Yamamoto lay on the table as if he was fine, and he didn't show any annoyance.
"Young people, they always want to go out on their own, but they just wasted such a good opportunity, do you really think that it is so easy to work in this school? After a few years, you will know that you regret it. ”
Takumi, who had left the library, glanced back, only to see that under the reflection of the setting sun, the entire library was covered in a layer of golden yellow.
"Dead."
It wasn't that Yamamoto's perception had deteriorated, Takumi knew that for most trainers, what Yamamoto said was indeed from the bottom of his heart.
Not to mention anything else, Asuke and the others don't just want to be members of the school in their hearts, and even in their hearts, they are estimated to participate in the quartz conference under the pretext of relying on the quota here in the Pokémon Research Class.
The reason why Takumi was discovered by Yamamoto and left was simply because he chose to come to the library to learn knowledge after finishing his first morning's work.
This gesture of racing against time is obviously not the idea of a person who wants to stay here in the future, and has time to read books.
Out of kindness, I want to admonish Takumi.
"It's just that we're different!"
……
As the days passed, Takumi, who had adjusted his routine a little, repeated the days of sparring in the morning, exercising Pokémon in the afternoon, staying in the library until the door closed at night, and then returning to the wooden house to sleep in the blink of an eye.
Silently put away the "Introduction to Pokémon Cultivation" on the table, Takumi looked at the time, 8:58 in the evening.
Scanning around, there was no one else in the library at this time, and Takumi walked towards the door of the library.
He pulled a palm-sized gift box out of his pocket and pushed it in front of Yamamoto, who was fiddling with pens on the table.
"Thank you, Big Brother Yamamoto, for taking care of you during this time, a small gift, not a tribute."
A little stunned, he glanced at Takumi, and Yamamoto quickly noticed Takumi's tapping index finger - it was on this "Introduction to Pokémon Cultivation" that he tapped on it, and his heart suddenly lit up.
"Hehe, since you call me big brother, then I will accept this gift unceremoniously."
Putting Takumi's 'gift' in his pocket, Yamamoto didn't seem to see Takumi put the book on the inside of his clothes, propped up the table, and shouted in his mouth.
"It's closed, it's closed, since you kid came, I don't even have to look up at the time to know when it's closed!"
……
Back in the wooden house, looking at the candlelight coming out of the crack in the door, Takumi was also a little helpless.
Although a layer of tarpaulin was nailed to the roof later, so you don't have to worry about rainy days, but it is also inconvenient for a wooden house without electricity, and you can only light candles at night.
After making a voice to open the door for Ai Ye, Takumi dodged into the room, touched and sensed that he was back, and the supersonic bat that fell from the eaves, Takumi then mysteriously stuffed the "Pokémon Cultivation Primer" into Ai Ye's hand.
"It's all basic, but in a sense, it's exactly what you need ......"
Seeing the title of the book on the page, Ai Ye, who had also heard Takumi mention this book, opened his mouth and did not ask, but silently stuffed it into the space backpack.
"I'll see it when I get out of here, so as not to get you in trouble. Also, thank you very much ......."
"Tsk~"
His face was slightly red in the light of the candlelight, and Ai Ye, who was thinking about thanking him, was just halfway through his words, when he saw Tuohai raise his right hand after snorting, and hurriedly covered his forehead and changed his words.
"Okay, I won't thank you, at most, I will take care of the six-tails in the future to be healthier."
Nodding with satisfaction, and arranging for the supersonic bat to continue to guard the eaves, Takumi yawned, said goodnight, and collapsed onto the plank bed in the room.
Seeing this, Ai Ye also smiled slightly and walked to his room.
……
Training ground No. 2.
After breakfast, Takumi came to the training ground where he had been for ten mornings, but he had already seen people fighting in the training ground.
When I got closer, I found that the two people who were fighting were still quite impressed.
Sana naturally doesn't need to say much, but the other person is Yuto Sundae, a girl who makes Takumi more impressive.
Takumi also learned from Sana a few days ago that the sundae was the top student in the junior class who had lost to Ash before, which gave Takumi a hint of such a wonderful sense of fate.
I'm afraid Zhi Ye wouldn't have thought that because of his victory in a battle, a rich daughter who was originally conceited to the extreme has changed so much.
"So, if Sundae becomes a powerful trainer in the future, wouldn't it be better to thank Ash?"
Thinking about what he didn't have, Takumi's eyes were on the battle between the two girls who came to the training ground early.
Just after a quick glance, Takumi understood that the two were not so much fighting against each other as training each other, after all, if it was a battle, how could there be a gala gala bone stick falling to the ground, and Ibu waited until it picked up the bone stick and started attacking......
After a closer look, Takumi had to say that this training program was cleverly designed.
After Galagala throws the 'Bone Boomerang', Eevee uses the 'High-Speed Star' that he should have mastered to hit the bone stick in high-speed flight, destroying the original flight trajectory of the bone stick, and then rushing up to the chase training that Takumi taught Sana to do with Gala Gala.
And in this process, Gala Gala also has to avoid Ibu's pursuit and blocking, and do everything possible to move to a position where it can receive the bone stick.
When the bone stick hits the ground, the two begin a new exercise.
Takumi had been standing at the edge of the field for a while, and Sana and Sundae naturally noticed it, and after the two Pokémon finished their training rounds, they walked towards Takumi.
After politely greeting each other, Takumi took the initiative to ask, "Which of you designed this training program?" Looks pretty good. ”
"Then you don't need to ask, of course the two of us designed it together!" Raising her head proudly, the pink-haired glasses lady grabbed Sundae's hand and said with great pride.
Seeing Sundae break away from Sana's hand with some embarrassment, Takumi was very interested in how these two Loli formed a friendship in his heart, but it was naturally difficult to ask this, so he could only pretend that he didn't know anything.
chatting with the two girls, it didn't take long for all the ten junior class students in charge of Takumi to come to the No. 2 training ground.
Looking at the eager looks of several boys, Takumi raised his eyebrows and looked at these boys with a wicked smile.
I just learned from the casual chat with Sana that these guys were planning yesterday, trying to find a chance to actually defeat themselves once, but this secrecy doesn't seem to be in place.
After all, what he said on the first day made a few teenagers in their prime indignant, even if it was only to boost their morale......
However, since the words have been spoken, naturally they can't let themselves be slapped in the face, especially by a group of children.
"Well, today we're going to change the course ...... a different kind of battle."
As soon as Takumi exited, the ten students were surprised, after all, in the past ten days, they had become familiar with Nidolang, the pangolin, the supersonic bat, and a double gas that occasionally appeared.
The boys looked at Takumi staring at them with a smile, and suddenly a bad premonition surged in their hearts.
"Some time ago, our lesson could be regarded as 'How to fight against Pokémon of similar strength', and today, your lesson is 'How to fight against Pokémon whose strength is far greater than your own'."
"And, from today onwards, it's up to you to come out with Pokémon first."
Seeing the expressions on the faces of these five boys who were about to collapse, Takumi couldn't help but laugh out loud in his heart.
"Abby Lang, punch lightly, don't use skills, and play with the rest."
Facing a group of rookies, Takumi directly released Abby Lang, but still whispered to Abby Lang to pay attention to it.
After all, my job is sparring, and if it happens that all the Pokémon of the sparring partner are brought down in half an hour, it will be a bit too much.
But even so, with Abby Lang's super physical fitness, it was enough to make these students, especially the five boys, feel that the experience was completely different from the previous ten days of fighting.
When Nidoran and they were fighting, they could still fight back and forth, but now facing Abi Lang, they are completely one-sided.
……
With a smile on his face, he came to the grass and sat down, Takumi didn't know what to do for a while, so he had to tease Lu Lili of Ai Ye while paying attention to the situation on the training ground.
"Come on, Lu Lili, jump a little higher, as long as you pass over my hand, there will be candy to eat!"
Holding a few shiny candies, Tuohai looked like a strange man, and kept jumping higher with Lu Lili.
Suddenly, Takumi's expression was stunned for a moment, and Lu Lili, who was looking at the candy with her eyes shining, suddenly seized this opportunity, and suddenly pushed it to Takumi's outstretched right hand, and flew up the three candies on it and sprinkled them on the grass.
The two little short legs ran fast, Lu Lili just took a breath, opened her mouth to the maximum, and wanted to swallow the candy on the lawn in one gulp, but found that she was getting farther and farther away from the candy, and suddenly babbled in a hurry.
Lowering Lu Lili from the air, Ai Ye picked up the candy that Lu Lili was about to eat, and after removing the candy paper on it, he stuffed the mint-flavored candy into Lu Lili's mouth that opened into an 'O' shape, and then stared at Takuhai, who had been stunned in place for nearly twenty meters, with a puzzled expression.
"Shh~"
Making a silent motion, Takumi concentrated, feeling the movement behind his right waist.
As a trainer, keeping the Poké Ball within easy reach is a basic operation, and putting it in the pocket can sometimes delay a little time because of the pocket, so savvy merchants have invented belts specifically designed to absorb Pokéballs.
When you need to fight, you only need to flick the hem of your clothes to easily remove the Poké Ball from the belt, but as for wearing too many clothes, it takes a while to fumble for a while to remove the Poké Ball from the belt tied to the inner lining?
That's your own business, trainer......
But no matter what, Takumi also has such a belt on his body, just now, he seemed to feel that the Pork Ball placed in the back position of his right waist moved for a moment, but because his mind was on Lu Lili, Takumi was not sure for a while whether it was his own delusion.
Another ten seconds passed, and just when Takumi couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to simply take down the baby ball to check the situation, Takumi clearly felt that the baby ball in the back of the right waist had a change.
And the Po Ball in this position, Takumi remembers very clearly, is the Po Ball containing the Da Da Duck!
