[Pokémon] Wild baby

"Please accept my challenge, Miss Xiaoxia!"

Hualan Gym three years ago.

Marilyn, who still had a childish look on her face, clenched her fists, and together with the round-tailed cat beside her, stared intensely at Xiaoxia, the gym leader who was wearing a swimsuit and looking helpless.

Keenly aware of the unnoticeable fragility and wavering of the newcomers who came to challenge under the firm belief, the female gym leader had a headache and mentally considered the available elves to fight, and finally chose to compromise.

"I understand."

The girl who has not changed her soft-hearted nature for many years put a dry towel on her wet head.

Sighing slightly, he said, "At least let me change my clothes first."

Under constant challenge invitations, Xiaoxia, who rarely relaxes by swimming, is forced to start performing her duties as a gym trainer again after swimming a lap.

Gym trainer.

Because I have an obligation, I never refuse anyone’s invitation to challenge me.

But

Due to various reasons, Xiaoxia, who was quite distressed, could only pray secretly in her heart.

‘Gyarados should be fine. ’

Oh no, Xiaoxia sighed helplessly as she held her forehead.

Gyarados, who had not yet learned the performance-based battle method, used a whirlpool of flames to burn the beautiful flowers that tried to use attribute restraint to win into mosquito-repellent incense eyes.

The uncrowned king of Hualan Gym yawned leisurely amidst the slightly panicked exclamations of the challenger.

He just started slapping the water with his tail for fun, turning a deaf ear to the headache-inducing whispers from his trainer, and even went back to surfing a little naughtily.

"That's enough! Come back Gyarados and reflect for a moment."

With a sullen face, she put the elf who roared unhappily for a moment back into the ball. Because of the previous battle, there was no other fighting force available, so the battle unsurprisingly went out of control.

Looking at the defeated elves on the other side of the field, the challenger squatted on the ground with his head lowered and hesitated for a while.

You can't just comfort people so straightforwardly and say, it's not your fault that everything is fine, it's because I'm too strong. Or I'm sorry, my Gyarados hasn't learned how to act yet.

‘Ah! Isn't this more excessive? It sounds like provocation and ridicule. You will be hated. You will definitely be hated! ! ’ The female gym owner, who had a lot of inner drama, finally stood in front of the challenger who was suspected of being deeply shocked.

Tentatively reaching out your hand

"I'm sorry! Because I saw a rare opponent worthy of seriousness, Gyarados"

Xiaoxia, who unconscionably said such nonsense to the loser who was killed x3 in one hit, even blushed with shame.

however--

"Really, really?"

I really believe it! ! This guy is easier to deceive than that Chi! ! !

Xiaoxia, who was screaming with her hands in her hands, looked at the expectant silver eyes in front of her and nodded without hesitation. "That's right, that's right. I don't need to lie to you."

Xiaoxia realizes that she is about to enter the abyss of depravity.

Adhering to the great spirit of consecrating newcomers who have fallen behind, his face became more and more sincere.

Ah, so this is the feeling of being polished by sophistication?

"Well, I'm sorry," the challenger lady who was easy to deceive said, showing a shy smile: "Can you help me a little bit, I'm really happy!"

When he started smoking, he looked surprisingly sophisticated.

He looked at the other party's pure and moved face with an unknown expression, and after seriously thanking Gyarados for being released again, he cautiously made a request: "Um, please make a little fire - ah ah ah!! It's too big!" Got it!"

Marilyn, who had burned down a pack of cigarettes by the small flame that had been suppressed, was about to cry without tears. She finally took out the spare Bidiao cigarettes and lighter from under her skirt with a sad face, and became self-sufficient and self-reliant.

Although this is normal operation, I always feel like something is wrong.

Xiaoxia, who was led astray by a series of sexy manipulations, was thoughtful.

ah! Doesn’t this person have his own fire? Why does Gyarados have to come out? !

This is not the right point, right?

——I don’t know where the voice-over came from. He angrily threw the script in his hand and said angrily that he wouldn’t shoot anymore!

Facing the pure doubts of the girl host without any dissatisfaction, Marilyn, who seemed to have changed her soul while smoking, bit her cigarette and mumbled: "Because I want to find an excuse to thank that guy in person."

The challenger who had become lustful inexplicably, Yu Jie's aura was fully activated, and her eyes were filled with boundless spring: "Thank you——

Take this battle seriously and treat my partners and I as our opponents. "

At that time, the woman who had heard enough of the persuasion from others who thought they were well-intentioned but actually meant disdain, started blowing smoke rings and started talking.

‘Give up, Marilyn, you don’t have the talent to be a trainer, don’t waste your efforts. ’

‘Ah~ She is obviously the daughter of that international supermodel Marina, but she just ignores such a good advantage and doesn’t take advantage of it. ’

"Each one of them said something with the same meaning." She couldn't help but click her tongue. She looked like a rebellious and rebellious woman who was completely opposite to her innocent and childish appearance, with a hint of loneliness between her brows.

No one took her invitation to fight seriously.

‘It’s just fun. ’

Those people said this, completely negating the efforts of Marilyn and the elves.

He smiled bitterly: "It's really——"

"It's too much!!" Facing the frightened look of the woman who was so frightened that the cigarette in her mouth was trembling unsteadily, Xiaoxia glared angrily with her hands on her hips, her blood flowing to her head after a long absence.

"No one is qualified to say to a trainer, 'You can't do it.'"

The girl who was unexpectedly shining at this moment had a serious look on her face, as if she was speaking the most awe-inspiring truth in the world.

At that time, Marilyn exhaled a smoke ring tremblingly, and the fingers covering her eyes raised up in pleasure.

'Ah, what an interesting fellow. ’

The farcical gym challenge three years ago ended with Marilyn's defeat.

but--

"Eh?! Is it really okay to just give it to me?! I am"

Looking in disbelief at the drop-shaped badge shining in Xiaoxia's open palm, the woman whose eyes widened due to excessive shock looked particularly cute.

Unable to help but chuckle, Xiaoxia confirmed with a smile: "Yes! It's indeed for you!"

In fact, the qualifications for obtaining a gym badge are not solely determined by the strength of the elves cultivated by the trainer. Rather, if this standard is strictly implemented, I am afraid that the alliance will not even be able to register the top eight participating places for the Kanto Competition every year.

A girl who speaks some extraordinary words in a calm manner.

He simply slapped the badge in his hand into the hands of the still hesitant challenger, and said forcefully: "What won you this water drop badge is your own beautiful character, no doubt about it! Yours He is indeed a trainer with extraordinary potential.”

She smiled at Marilyn who was unconsciously stunned.

"Your unreserved sincerity towards the elves - you are destined to go on the road to glory!"

Not all trainers can devote all their efforts to caring for their elf partners who have never achieved glory for themselves.

Xiaoxia, who witnessed Marilyn softly comforting and encouraging the elves who were lost after their defeat, had to admit that this was undoubtedly the behavior that suited her the most.

Although, the elf and the trainer hugging each other and crying after looking at each other affectionately are really distressing.

In short, even if it does not match the amount of badges distributed per season stipulated by the league.

Xiaoxia, who was once criticized by a colleague named Damu for being emotional, decided to recognize Marilyn's challenge results.

"If you feel unwilling to get results so easily, next time, next year's Kanto Competition, I'm looking forward to playing against you again in Hualan!"

"Of course, there are no convenient props like learning devices and skill cheats."

"Please rely on the joint efforts of yourself and the elves to grow and become stronger."

The girl who suddenly showed an expression of unspeakable resentment was obviously caught in another bad memory that she couldn't bear to look back on.

Xiao Xiao muttered what kind of dreams did the newcomers of the past two years have when they go out, and waved weakly to Miss Challenger who looked worried, saying that she didn't need to care.

Gin, who had resumed his neat men's attire, walked alone among the mottled shadows of the Viridian Forest. Spread out in the white palm, there is a blue badge that still seems to have the warmth of a girl.

How could he be recognized so simply?

Even though it's just based on deception, it's still so fun.

Silent tears dripped on the blue badge, vaguely like the waves of sea water.

In the light and shadow of reality.

The cross-dressing man who silently smoked out a pack of cigarettes casually opened the second pack.

He said with a scornful tone: "Now, I say, Miss Xiaoxia, who was born in a family of gym trainers and has been expected to become an excellent trainer since she was a child, you must not be able to understand that she would use all her energy just to provide for the consumption of elves. of my pain.”

In the swirling smoke, he stared closely at the girl's suddenly startled emerald eyes. Even Yin himself couldn't tell what kind of answer he wanted to get from the girl who had once acknowledged him.

However, subconsciously, he aggressively spoke words with strong malice again: "Let me tell you, have you ever seen a trainer who is so poor that he has to sell the most powerful initial elf to make a living?"

"Have you ever seen the mutated Harkosaurus under the game arcade that is used as a cash cow because it is rare and has been forced to conceive and give birth?"

Those were his father's sins, and he would never be able to repay one ten thousandth of them even if he lived his entire life.

"You know nothing at all, naive family gym leader!" But I sincerely thank you, and your powerful companion, for defeating my father and preventing him from continuing to do evil.

Yin, whose mood suddenly fluctuated greatly, took a long drag on his cigarette, lowered his head and used the dim light to cover his red eyes.

Xiaoxia, who had been silently letting the other party vent her emotions, closed her eyes slightly.

Pretending not to see through all the fragility of pretending to be tough.

"——The reality is always so cruel! Where does this adult fairy tale come from? If you want to become a trainer who travels and adventures all your life, do you know how much it costs? Money, money, lots and lots of money is the foundation!"

"Don't be stupid, silly girl! Do you think that you are saving me by introducing a good partner to me? Don't make people laugh at the drama of justice incarnate and purify the degenerate!"

"Take care of yourself, don't let your stupid and ridiculous innocence and kindness harm yourself. This world has never been a playground of truth, goodness and beauty. There is so much darkness that you can't save!"

Rather than just questioning, it was more like venting something to this powerless world. Yin himself didn't know how he could say it to this extent.

"I said - Miss Marilyn, you are the one, what kind of misunderstanding do you have about me?"

Surprisingly, Xiaoxia didn't get angry because of embarrassment, her expression was calm and peaceful.

He even showed a barely visible smile to the challenger who had once admitted his potential to become a trainer, but was now obviously unqualified: "I have never been so arrogant as to think that I can save anyone."

"It's just that I tried my best."

"My heart is small, and it's actually not that great. To be honest, just looking at those troublesome and careless guys around me is already very distressing."

"Ms. Marilyn, who has never seen the efforts my partners and I have made, is not qualified to judge us - that would be really rude to us!"

"To be honest, I'm very disappointed in you, Miss Marilyn."

Yin closed his eyes in embarrassment for a moment, trying to escape from all the harsh criticism that he expected to mean a complete break.

"But."

Hualan's former head of the girl club said solemnly like a promise: "You are also one of the 'worry-free headache guys' that I want to watch, so I also want to work hard for you!"

"If you have any questions, just ask and I will do my best to help you. As for money, I am still somewhat confident. After all, as you said, I am a trainer from a noble family!" she said Finally, he looked over with some resentment.

In the end, he couldn't help it anymore and chuckled: "Well, that's it."

That's it again!

The young man who unconsciously loosened his hands and smiled, shed tears, and let himself throw himself at the girl with an inexplicable expression again: "You are so cunning, Miss Xiaoxia, you are so good."

In the dead of night, the sexy cross-dresser with an indistinguishable expression stood in the light and shadow and remained silent for a long time. He folded his shoulders and took the expensive fur collar from Nine Tails, and exhaled a breath: "Thank you for your hard work, Beautiful Flower, but let's forget it this time."

An old man who had been stripped naked from head to toe lay sprawled on the cold floor, with coins scattered all over the floor silently hiding all the unknown embarrassment.

Well, since I promised Miss Xiaoxia to rely on her own strength, it’s better not to rob the rich and give to the poor. Even if the road ahead is long, he will work hard to repay the debts left by his predecessors.

"I said, partners."

Yin gently touched the elf ball hanging on his waist, and the elves who had experienced a lot with him stayed with him quietly as always: "Let's go home."
