A cool breeze blows.

The industrial area far away is still brightly lit.

Yama Minoru sighed: "Alas, how are you letting me sleep now?" ”

Ghosts are not the same as ghost-type Pokémon, even in the remote Ouray region, ghosts still have a variety of terrifying legends.

Children fear being taken away by ghosts, and adults hope that ghosts will take revenge on those who oppress them.

Minoru Yama had fantasized about the dead turning into ghosts to take revenge on the scum of the Shadow Corps, but as he traveled to study abroad in various regions, he was able to absorb the knowledge of the outside world.

He realized a truth-

[Those who help themselves will be helped by heaven].

Instead of seeking the ethereal, it is better for him to lead by himself, and then use the changed Ou Lei to show his ambitions.

However, the above does not mean that Minoru Yama is indifferent to the souls that really exist.

He was indeed not afraid to sit upright, but when he thought that the place where he lived was full of invisible and untouched souls, it was even possible to stare at him collectively while he slept.

Can you sleep here?

Selflessness does not mean abandoning personal privacy.

Kashiwagi shrugged his shoulders and said, "No way, wasn't the dungeon buried by you?" I'll have to wait until tomorrow morning to dig it up and take a look. ”

"And what about tonight?"

"Just find a ghost-type Pokémon to help you look around, drive away when you find it, and you can always deal with it in one night."

"Okay, lend me your family."

“…… This probably won't work. ”

"Where do I go to find ghost-type Pokémon at night! You think this is Fortune! Minoru Shan's voice was a little annoyed.

If he had a choice, he would rather know about it tomorrow.

Just now, Kashiwagi said that he would scold people if he talked about it tomorrow, and he wanted to scold people now!

"The only ghost Pokémon in my team that can lend you - forget it, why don't you stay at my house tonight, anyway, Ah Wu is not in the guest room and empty."

Kashiwagi suggested.

As early as on the Fury, Narihiro told him that Abu had turned to the crowd, and the dragon trainer who had helped the rescue organization had planted a tree for half a year, and when he learned that he was famous in Hoenn, he immediately decided to turn the crowd to practice.

Obviously, the championship is serious.

Shan Minoru was really sleepy, and he nodded and agreed after a few seconds.

Back to the villa.

Minoru Yawn and walked straight to his room.

Kashiwagi, who released Bosco Dora and other Pokémon, hurriedly asked, "Where are your Pokémon?" ”

"I'll let N take care of it for me."

Minoru Yama responded casually and closed the door with a click.

I actually put Pokémon next to N......

Although Kashiwagi can understand that Minoru Yama is usually busy with government affairs and has no time to take care of his own Pokémon, but he can't see his trainer for a long time, won't the Pokémon be sad?

At least keep one by your side, right?

When he felt sorry, the cries of three evil dragons rang in his ears.

"Whoa!"

"What's wrong?"

Following the sight of the three dragons, he saw two half-human Pokémon, one tall and one short, standing outside the open gate.

The tall one looks like a fox and turns into a rickety old man, and the short one looks like a cartoon rag doll mixed with cat elements.

"Tick."

"Meow~"

Hu Di and Super Mew bowed to him very politely, and walked to the guest room with a calm demeanor, opening and closing the door softly.

Kashiwagi smiled silently and reached out to stroke the heads of the three dragons.

Yes.

Just because a trainer doesn't have time doesn't mean that Pokémon won't find opportunities on their own, whether it's by following him during the day or watching his sleeping face at night.

As long as the bond between people and Pokémon remains unchanged, they are inseparable.

"N guess it's going to be tomorrow, let's go to sleep too."

Kashiwagi said to the Pokémon that were waiting for him around him.

The big steel snake in the courtyard regretfully spewed two white gases from its nose, it originally wanted to encourage the trainer to camp on the other side of the mountain, but it waited for a day today and didn't find a chance.

What a snake!

The big steel snake slowly closed his eyes, and vowed to find an opportunity to encourage the trainer to go over tomorrow.

Nothing was said all night.

Next.

Kashiwagi, who naturally woke up, had just made breakfast, and before he could wake up Minoru Yama, N, who had never returned last night, rang the doorbell.

"Good morning."

N's emerald eyes were slightly dull as always, but the smile on her face was very warm.

"Good morning!"

Kashiwagi warmly welcomed him through the door.

Unexpectedly.

Minoru Shan, who had previously locked the door, appeared at the table and enjoyed breakfast, and Hudi and Super Meow were also given special food by the gentle and virtuous happy egg.

"Good morning, two!"

Minoru Yama raised his hand gracefully.

Kashiwagi said disdainfully: "You are not polite at all, and you will serve it without asking." ”

"There are only dreams, Pokémon and good food in the world. Besides, if N hadn't come, there should only be two humans in this room, unless you eat one and watch one. "Minoru Yama is full of words.

The familiar communication between the two made N seem to go back to half a year ago.

When Huang Tiezhen was just liberated, they sat down like this for countless times to dine together, chatting or talking about business during the period.

And only now.

N can realize that he is still very young like the two people in front of him.

“…… I'm sorry I didn't tell the truth last night. ”

He said suddenly.

Kashiwagi and Minoru Yama stopped chatting meaninglessly and looked at each other.

N said softly, "The fact that Huang Tie Town is full of lost souls is actually known on the first day I came here. ”

Yama Minoru was stunned, and then said angrily: "The first day! Why haven't you been — well, it really didn't make sense to say that at the time, but why haven't you told me for half a year? ”

Kashiwagi snapped his fingers twice in a row to attract his attention, "It's pointless to say it, this kind of thing can't be solved by ordinary people, so what's the matter?" The entrance to the spiritual realm is not a 'door' in the true sense of the word. ”

"Even so...... Minoru Yama couldn't contain his anger.

Although Kashiwagi said that the lost soul cannot interfere with the living, what if?

Let's be serious.

If Shan Minoru had known about this, he might have considered moving Huang Tiezhen to another location.

N shook his head at Kashiwagi, "You don't have to excuse me, I don't know about the blocking of the entrance to the spirit world, but the soul matter, it should be considered that I didn't say it on purpose." ”

"Should, deliberately." Minoru Yama repeated these two words, his gaze turning from anger to disappointment.

As if he couldn't see it, N said slowly: "First, I really can't solve the lost soul, and the ghost Pokémon I know don't even dare to go close to the ground. Second, Huang Tiezhen has too many sinful souls, and it is their fate to be lost. ”

"Many of the people who died in this land were innocent! How many people can get their hands on Pokémon!? ”

Minoru slammed the table and shouted.

The loud pop made the Pokémon next to them raise their heads in unison.

N looked at him seriously, "So I just let them get lost and put my energy into more important things." They can't affect the world of the living, as evidenced by the sudden drop in accidental mortality and disease cases in Huangtie Town in the past six months. ”

"That's your excuse?" Minoru said coldly.

N shook his head again, "No, I'm just explaining why I can't tell you, my subconscious is resisting...... I'm sorry I did something wrong in this matter. ”

"Hmph, hah." Shan Minoru seemed to be laughed at angrily, and said indifferently: "I thought that this half a year's life would make you have a better view of Huangtie Town, but I was wrong. From the beginning to the end, you are only ready to build a Pokémon land with no people, and you don't have the people of this land in your eyes. ”

Let's talk about it.

He walked out angrily.

Hudi and Super Mew glanced at each other, keeping up with the trainer.

Kashiwagi glanced at N, who didn't speak, with a headache, chased outside to stop the angry Minoru Shan, and said in a low voice: "Why are you so angry, N came to save Pokémon from the beginning, you don't know!" ”

"I know! How did I not know? But can his goal be to change the environment by planting trees alone? It seems that the land of Ou Lei has not yet been developed, but in fact, every piece has been divided! ”

Minoru Yama complained, "Do you know how much effort I put into increasing the range of wild Pokémon? Many people in the Rescue Organization simply don't want to give so many areas to wild Pokémon!

"And hundreds of thousands of Pokémon eat rations every day, do you think he can conjure it up if he has money? He mixes with Pokémon all day long and barely interacts with other people, and resists others to adopt Pokémon, so what good is it for him to separate Pokémon from humans! ”

Through Ash and Pikachu, N realizes that humans and Pokémon can have a precious bond, but that doesn't mean that he will change the perspective of all humans from now on.

In principle, he still has a distance between people and Pokémon, and at most does not interfere with those Pokémon that have been subdued.

Minoru Yama hopes that N will change his perception and make him more practical.

This will help you build a Pokémon land.

But half a year has passed, and there is still a subconscious rejection of N's people in Huang Tiezhen, which makes Shan Minoru feel that he is completely hot face against his cold ass.

The most unacceptable thing for Minoru Yama is N's apology.

Because.

He was only sorry for hiding important things from Minoru Shan, and he didn't care at all how long those innocent souls had been lost, and whether the existence of the lost souls would cause harm.

In other words, N always treats all human beings equally, whether they are innocent or not, except for a few acquaintances.

"Give him more time, you know what his past is like, he left all his empathy for people to Pokémon, and I wouldn't be surprised to announce that he is a Pokémon one day."

Kashiwagi patted him on the shoulder and reassured.

After Shanmin finished venting, he shook off his hand and said, "Okay, don't be a peacemaker." Don't waste time on this kind of thing, becoming stronger is your first obligation, send me the location of the entrance to the spiritual realm on your phone in a while, hurry up and go to the Yellow Iron Arena. As for N, I can tell whether the public is public and the private is private. ”

“……”

Kashiwagi watched wordlessly as he hurried away.

Back to the villa.

N was gently stroking the head of the happy egg, "It's great that the psychological shadow has been lifted, you have been working hard for Kashiwagi." ”

“happy~happy！”

Seeing the trainer returning, Happy Egg hurriedly ran to him and asked if he wanted to put away Minoru Yama's dinner plate.

Kashiwagi motioned for it to be put away, and said to the smiling N: "Why do you say that kind of thing, you know better than me what Minoru cares about, why bother?" ”

N put away his smile and said in a low voice: "I just don't want to lie to him, the land of Ou Lei, except for Pokémon and a few people, there are not many existences worthy of my memory." ”

"Even if I've seen countless images of people and Pokémon working together to improve the environment in the past six months?"

“……”

Nkobo's unfazed face fluctuated slightly, but he quickly regained his composure, "I don't have any extra emotions to share with humans. ”

Kashiwagi said helplessly: "No one asks you to care for human beings, there are already many who care for them, what you have to do is to accept reality." People and Pokémon are inseparable from each other. ”

"Yes...... N didn't retort, he knew this very well, "Kashiwagi, you know, the Salvation Organization has approached me privately more than once. ”

"Privately? Bypassing the mountain? ”

"Hmm."

N said lightly: "They want me to move half of my Pokémon to the northwest, indicating that the environment there can support a certain number of wild Pokémon." ”

"That's a good thing!"

Kashiwagi can't help but feel happy for N, the only remaining green space in the northwest of Ou Lei, which is more suitable for Pokémon with some attributes than wilds.

But he soon found that there was not the slightest joy on N's face, but a faint sadness.

Why?

Kashiwagi subconsciously asked, "What are the conditions?" ”

"That half of the Pokémon is managed by the Salvation Organization, and I have no right to interfere." There was no more tenderness or a smile on N's face.

This condition—

At first, he thought that it was impossible for him to be so shameless in saving the organization, but then he thought about whether the practice of saving the organization was really shameless.

The fundamental purpose of migrating Pokémon from N's hands is to allow all Ole people to have Pokémon and let people develop with Pokémon.

And after the Rescue Organization defeated the Shadow Team, all the Pokémon seized should have been dealt with by them.

It's just that at that time, N persuaded many Pokémon to help save the organization, and the rescue organization was grateful to N, so he handed over all the Pokémon to him to take care of.

The Salvation Organization also did not forcibly take back the Pokémon, and came to negotiate with N.

At the end of the day.

N doesn't want these Pokémon who have been injured by humans to fall into the clutches of humans again, and he cares about and respects all Pokémon's ideas.

The Salvation Organization believes that since Pokémon live in this land, it is very important to integrate with humans.

There is a huge difference in the thinking of the two sides.

What worries N even more is that even if he compromises this time, the Salvation Organization will come back a second time until all the Pokémon are picked up.

He wanted to refuse, but he didn't have the bargaining chips to refuse.

There are hundreds of thousands of Pokémon, and every day they need a huge amount of resources to support, and there are very few of them that can be self-sufficient.

"These days, I often wonder the significance of my coming to the Ouray region, and I always think, did I really manage to save them?"

N muttered.

The Salvation Organization saved the Ole people and also wanted to save the Pokémon, but unfortunately......

It's in a human way.

Kashiwagi was silent, he wanted to persuade N to agree to the Salvation Organization's proposal, but when he thought about it, he was just thinking about it from the perspective of humanity for the sake of developing Oulei.

The real thoughts of Pokémon may only be known to N, who can understand Pokémon.

He asked, "Everyone, don't you want to?" ”

"They've been heartbroken by humans." N's answer was succinct and forceful.

That's all there is to it.
