Before becoming a researcher, Yamashita was a Pokémon trainer.

Luckily, his struggle in the field of sparring has given him a glimpse of what a top trainer can look like, but unfortunately, his overstretched talent has limited Yamashita's further development.

The world of trainers is brutal.

In other areas, being stuck in a bottleneck is at best a sign of confusion and confusion, and a stagnation in personal improvement. However, in the world of trainers, the meaning of bottlenecks is very different -

For trainers, the bottleneck is failure, failure, failure, failure...... Constantly accumulating and stacking failures, until he was beaten from a high-level rank to a lower-level rank by a rising star, his dignity was completely shattered, and he completely lost the qualification to fight on the same stage with his juniors.

The environment of elf battles is constantly changing. The stagnation of the level not only means that the trainer will lose more and win less in the next match-up, but also means that the gap between himself and the trainer of the same period is widening.

What's more, regardless of the wishes of the Combat Trainer himself, there are countless young talents who join the field every year, and they will bring more talent, more tactics, and more popular Pokémon who are in excellent form.

The bottleneck is hell.

Even if you lose, it's not as easy as a video game. Pokémon Showdown is definitely not the kind of simple battle where someone happily willingly admits defeat and gives up.

As a trainer, you have to keep your eyes open as the Pokémon you used to spend time with, play with, and train with all over the arena with bruises and bruises, and the sight of it will make your heart break and make you want to vomit.

Although the medical system that comes with the match is free in principle, the more desperate the battle, the more damage will be left on the Pokémon's body, especially for the loser.

Sometimes you can hear the sound of the joints rubbing when the partner heart bat flapps its wings; Is the movement speed of the partner electric spider slow down again during training? But seeing that its slightly stiff back foot is the one that was hit hard by the flames in the last game, who can say anything about it?

What kind of cold-hearted guy would have the patience to go on the field over and over again with an unorthodox determination like "please let me win this time"?

Oh, it's a Pokémon trainer.

Impossible, you can't survive in the world of battle with hard work alone.

The trainers are a bunch of sadists through and through, competitive armed thugs, hard-hearted terrorists. It is a group of deceitful people who should be scolded and condemned by thousands of people!

We can't go on like this, we can't stay in this environment anymore! Not only that, but revenge, revenge, and a way for everyone in the world to see how these endless trainers are embarrassed, and to make everyone understand what they are and how disgusting they are!

- Yamashita thought so, gave up everything he was a trainer and submitted an application for admission to the institute.

。

"This is the so-called paranoid personality."

On the No. 1 road between Luzi Town and Tangcao Town, Hugo, who was on his way home, said to his assistant.

At this time, the two are walking towards the train station that leads directly to Feiyun City, and Douzi is separated from the detective duo because he has to compete elsewhere.

"That Yamashita fell into a losing streak in the match, and his self-esteem was hit hard, so he not only gave up the match, but also developed hatred and jealousy for the trainer group."

Hugo summarized the information he obtained through various investigations, combined with Yamashita's own confession, and explained the original story of the case to Bilan.

"After entering the research institute, he bought a large number of high-grade Pokémon feed under the guise of exploring the sound moves of rolling bats, and secretly launched a psychological study to investigate the mentality of trainers to select elves, and placed elves on the way for trainers to enter the research institute for inducement, hoping to prove the shallow short-sightedness of the trainer group with experiments."

"By the way, the reason why Yamashita chose the water otter as the test subject seems to be because there is no suitable small pond near Road 1. Although there is a river on the west side of Route 1, if you put the otters directly by the river, it will be difficult to recover the wandering spirits. The detective added.

"It's a shame he could come up with such a idea...... Also, I just learned today that Dr. Yew started the fire so terrifying. Bilan recalled the angry and oppressive Dr. Elf at that time, and sighed with affection.

In fact, even if Yamashita carried out his experiments to the end, his paper would only be academic garbage. I think that's what really makes Dr. Yew angry. ”

Hugo had already retrieved the portable elf from Douzi's house at this time, but he was still waving the wooden cane with his pace, and he couldn't put it down, only to see the detective say in a relaxed tone.

"After all, can the newbies who are just starting out on their journey be considered trainers? They haven't received the elves yet, but they're just little ghosts who have a longing for the profession of trainers. The so-called goal of the experiment of 'proving the maneuverability of the trainer' was not achieved at all, and the most he could do was to prove that people like to collect all kinds of different Pokémon. ”

Although the newcomers who have just embarked on the journey are already qualified to become trainers, they are not really trainers, and only the adventures experienced with their partners can make the newcomers truly become trainers. Yamashita made a big mistake from the starting point of the experiment - the selection stage of the test crowd, and the conclusions he reached were naturally not convincing - this was the end of the thesis opening without giving the supervisor a purpose.

In this way, Yamashita not only did not have the talent to become a trainer, but also did not have the talent to be a scholar.

"But now the incident is finally perfectly resolved. Yamashita was trained by the doctor.,Next, together with Furuya, who suffered from the pond fish.,Receive the academic re-education course of the Yew Research Institute.。 Bilan said with a smile.

The detective pouted: "Who let that guy put the research topic off until now." Listen to me, the best way to treat mild mental illnesses like paranoia and paranoia is to force them into heavy schoolwork or physical labor. As soon as people start to get busy, their mental anxiety and hardship will disappear without a trace. ”

"Of course, this is limited to short-term mood changes, and in the long run, it is better for physical and mental health to combine work and rest." Probably because he felt that his expression was not rigorous, Hugo added.

The assistant nodded in agreement, and continued-

"Actually, there is a similar statement among trainers. I heard that there is a type of trainer who will become anxious because of the successive fiascos, and then increase the training intensity of the Pokémon recklessly, which will lead to the decline of the elves' physical strength, and then create a vicious cycle of failure leading to failure.

"In fact, the way to break this impasse is very simple, that is, the trainer should train the elves at the same time. In this way, you can set a reasonable amount of training for the elves, instead of relying on the willfulness of the trainer to let the elves train like crazy. In addition, this practice can also help trainers relieve stress and exercise. ”

"It seems that Yamashita-san has never heard of this kind of trick." Hugo shook his head and shrugged his shoulders feeling a little pity.

Then the detective said: "Actually, in a macro sense, whether it is Pokémon battles or groups like trainers, it is meaningful to maintain social stability. The league's league system allows top trainers to get enough exposure, and then the league can legitimately transfer more social responsibility to these trainers through the establishment of gyms and other things, which is a much more clever compromise policy than simple buy-offs, and the trainers are happy to accept it. ”

Blue pretends to look at the scenery absent-mindedly, and here is a typical representative of a trainer who has received a lot of exposure, but has put aside his social responsibility.

"Trainers are a very important group of people, they are living representatives of the peaceful coexistence of humans and Pokémon. As two species living together on this planet, humans and Pokémon were supposed to exist in opposing ways, and there was bound to be a situation where they would have competed with each other.

"But the birth of the Trainer profession changed all that, and the Pokémon population, which was supposed to die out with the expansion of the city, was preserved in large numbers in the form of hand-held elves, and now, between humans and elves, there are two intermediate areas that mitigate the conflict - trainers and hand-held elves. Therefore, as long as the trainers are still showing off their power on stage, the world war between Pokémon and humans in science fiction movies will never break out. ”

Bilan was surprised and couldn't help but applaud: "Wonderful speech, very novel perspective!" I didn't expect Mr. Hugo, who had such a bad relationship with Pokémon, to see the problem so objectively. ”

Hugo raised his eyebrows, looking a little displeased, and then he asked, "Speaking of which, the case in the Yew Research Institute is actually not completely closed." ”

"Oh?" The assistant looked at the detective in bewilderment.

"Blue, you did decipher the reason why sixty-three trainers chose Otters as their initial partner, but you seem to have forgotten to explain why sixty-four trainers made the same choice, right?"

Bilan's face, which was still dancing with her eyebrows just now, was a little stiff.

The detective continued, "It is said that Yamashita-san, who checked the application records of the institute in advance, and after seeing that your name was not on it, cleverly gave up the plan to manipulate the collection ceremony. When Douzi drove the Nuan Nuan Pig and the vine snake into the research institute just now, he didn't find any trace of the elves hiking. Then the question arises. ”

Hugo looked at the assistant beside him with a smile: "The sixty-fourth trainer, Miss Bilan from the Guandu region, why did she choose the otter without saying a word?" ”

Under the detective's questioning, Bilan avoided the other party's eyes and replied hesitantly: "That...... Because I naturally love water, I chose Jenny Turtle as my companion when I embarked on an adventure in the Kanto area, and since then I have been interested in these children who can manipulate water and waves. And the otter is also quite cute, and that arrogant expression sometimes makes people want to pinch and rub it. ”

"I think it's possible that you were induced by something to make the same choice as the sixty-three rookies." The detective said indomitively, very bad-hearted.

"Okay, I'll confess!" Blue exclaimed, "It's a newborn baby!" ”

。

What the girl saw in the depths of the grass were two young warm pigs and vine snakes.

Due to the manipulation of a certain student, the same group of initial Pokémon stayed together for a long time, and something natural happened in them.

The peculiar egg-laying phenomenon of Pokémon seems to be more easily triggered in the wild, and after half a year, in the grass near Road No. 1, there is now a new generation of vine snake warm pigs active.

"It seems that Mr. Eric needs to renovate and update the Eco Atlas of Road 1." The detective commented.
