I really don't want to be a trainer.

Chapter 723 The Meaning of a Trainer (23)

Binecke, Cafeteria.

Tianxi sat dignifiedly on the dining chair, wiping her mouth with a handkerchief.

Xiaozhi was gobbling it up.

Dawu put his hand on the side of his face and asked, "So, Princess Tianxi, are you going to the Forest of Oruans?"

"That's right, as long as you can meet Xernias, you can master the power of gathering real diamonds—that's what the Diamond Minister said." Tianxi replied.

You Lijia had a rat on her head, and put her face on her hands: "Dianxi really has a princess temperament."

"Thank you, Yurika." Tianxi rolled her eyes.

"I'm going to get some Beaufrey, anyone with me?" Serena said.

"Then, please let me go with you." Di Anxi jumped off the dining chair and followed behind Serena.

Lu Ye glanced at Geng Gui who wiped out a plate of cakes in one bite: "Koujie~(￣～￣)"

He glanced again at the tall, silent tramp holding a spoon.

Lu Ye said slowly: "King AZ..."

"Cough, cough!" AZ choked violently, raised his gaze, and said, "How do you know?"

Dawu said dumbly: "Your height alone is enough to judge, Your Majesty the King."

AZ fell silent, and said: "I am not a king... I am just wearing a crime, so there is no need to ask any more questions."

Lu Ye has come into contact with many kings, such as King Portlandis who was condemned by King Feng, Damos of Midina, and Queen Irene of Oludran City.

AZ's achievements are the most dazzling among this group of people - Damos is gaining the friendship of Arceus, but AZ is using the god of life and death for himself.

"Then... why did you go with Tian Xi?" Lu Ye asked.

AZ took a deep look at the black-haired youth.

This envoy of Arceus possessed the aura of many gods. He had never met him before, but he seemed to know everything.

"I..." AZ said hesitantly, "I'm going to the Forest of Oruans, and so is Tianxi."

Afterwards, even though Luye and Dawu asked the reason for their trip, AZ just silently scooped up the spoon.

His outfit was old, green scarf, red hat, tattered and rotten.

Dawu expressed that he wanted to take him to a fashion house, but AZ strongly resisted.

Teacher Lu thought that he might have to go with AZ in the future, with a strange expression on his face, and said:
"Then go to the bathhouse, King AZ...or you'd better go it alone."

AZ looked up blankly: "Bathroom?"

……

"It's here."

Lu Ye crossed his arms, raised his head and signaled, "We will meet at the Spirit Center later."

AZ looked up at the misty bathroom, and muttered, "I always use the public restroom..."

"Stop rambling, just swipe this card casually, let master Haoli rub your back, otherwise I will take you to the barber shop!" Lu Ye threatened.

Dawu: "..."

That seems to be the card I was asked to leave just now...

Don't blame Teacher Lu's aggressive tone, it's really too strong.

The king of AZ in the plot has been wandering for 3000 years... Even if he has the habit of keeping clean, it is not much better.

As for the possibility of AZ going berserk——

Lu Ye has learned about the combat power in ancient times, and Mijina's national teacher is probably at the level of a king.

The king of AZ, who has been wandering in pain for thousands of years, cannot have the strength of "fighting legends".

"I am the body of redemption." AZ said hoarsely.

Lu Ye: "Hot baths are also allowed in modern prisons, so you can go back quickly."

AZ fell silent. Since he is the messenger of Arceus, he has his reasons for doing so.

He had heard that some messengers of the gods had various taboos.

It is impossible for me to take Tianxi away, walking together is the best choice.

What's more, the day of my liberation will not be too far away...

AZ lightly closed his eyes.

Unlike Diancie, he went to the Forest of Oruans for Yveltal.

Yveltal, the 'God of Death', fell into a deep sleep 3000 years ago and is only about to be revived today.In order to get rid of the pain, AZ wandered for 3000 years.

With the belief of dying, AZ stepped into the bathroom.

"This is like going to the execution ground." Lu Ye muttered.

"Do you really want to go with AZ, Mr. Lu?"

Dawu frowned and said, "I'm worried that something unexpected will happen."

In the process of communicating with Tian Xi, Lu Ye has already understood the cause and effect of her and King AZ.

"Let AZ be with you."

Lu Ye whispered: "For the king... Tianxi may be his only remaining friend."

Dawu nodded slightly.

after an hour.

The tall AZ came to the door of the elf center with his back bent.

Tianxi glanced at AZ in surprise, covered her mouth and smiled slightly: "You look pretty good, AZ."

There is a rare sense of embarrassment in AZ, which is the first time this kind of emotion has appeared in a century.

He glanced at Teacher Lu who was the leader, and said in a deep voice:

"Then, please allow me to walk with you, the messenger of Arceus..."

Lu Ye said that the decision rests with Tian Xi.

"I give you permission to go with me, AZ."

Princess Tianxi smiled slightly and turned around: "There are also Xiaozhi, Dawu, Luye..."

Tian Xi accurately called out the names of everyone present, which was also a part of etiquette.

"Are you leaving tonight?" Serena asked.

"Camping, camping!" Yurika cheered.

"Leaving tonight, it will take about half a day to drive there, and you can reach the destination by taking the ferry tomorrow morning." Dawu said with a smile.

Luye thought of the trio who had been forgotten in the attic.

Forget it...the three of them should have their own way.

Night falls.

The large rented pickup truck drove out of the town of Bineck, its headlights piercing through the fog at night and advancing on the road.

AZ sat in the back row with an open hood, hands on his knees, looking unconsciously in the night.

The orange streetlights of the road are connected in a line, the countryside on both sides is quiet, the wind blows from the wilderness, and the nocturnal monsters rustle.

AZ misses the night 3000 years ago very much. Even though the night was full of dangers and monsters had a violent temper, Huayetti was still by his side at that time, and the two kept watch in the guard tower until dawn.

"The messenger of Arceus..."

AZ said hoarsely: "What exactly is the trainer you are talking about?"

"Trainer..."

Lu Ye sat in the back row and watched AZ, holding his face sideways, his black hair swaying in the night wind, and lazily replied:

"A group of humans who use Pokémon battles to interpret their beliefs, form bonds with Pokémon, and trust each other."

"Warcraft are human servants, aren't they?" AZ's gaze was terribly bright in the night.

"There's a guy in a group who thinks he's a Pokémon, not a human."

Lu Ye laughed and said, "What's more, you don't think so at all, King AZ."

The dark-haired young man's eyes were bright, and he crossed his fingers: "You think that Pokémon is your friend, or even... your relative."

An indescribable sadness welled up in AZ's chest.

"Yeah...but she has left me now and will never forgive me."

"Will not."

Lu Ye stretched his waist, "Because the trainer and Pokémon have a mutual trust relationship."

"When you get over your grief, your Pokémon will trust you again."

"Kou Jie~" Geng Gui emerged from the night in response, baring his teeth and grinning.

AZ was silent for a long time, then changed the subject: "...They all call you teacher, the messenger of Arceus."

"Did there be such a profession as a teacher in your era?" Lu Ye asked curiously.

"Have."

AZ nodded affirmatively: "And is respected by the king."

"I have been to your era... an era of wars and wars, and Pokémon were called 'Warcraft'." Lu Ye recalled.

That was the time of Mijina... Dialga led Mr. Lu through time and space, asking Arceus for forgiveness.

AZ looked at Lu Ye in surprise.

"But even in that era, there was the waveguide brave Aaron and his Lucario, the king of AZ...and his Huayeti."

Lu Ye's eyes were bright: "In today's words...they are trainers."

"Is that so... a so-called trainer." AZ repeated blankly, "I too... used to be a trainer."

"After the journey is over, let's fight, AZ."

Lu Ye smiled and stretched out his fist.

"If the opponent is a trainer, you will be able to understand what kind of person you are and what kind of beliefs you have in a showdown. At that time, you can fully understand without words!"

AZ's turbid eyes flickered, and he stretched out his fist slowly, and touched Lu Ye lightly.

"... Very philosophical words, Lu... Luye."

"Haha, because my wife said it, what she said is very philosophical." Lu Ye said heartily.

AZ's wrinkled face curved slightly.

This is the happiest day in AZ's memory for thousands of years.

He met Diancie, took a hot bath, and roughly understood the meaning of a trainer.

All that remains is to see Yveltal, and he is completely free...

The vehicle stopped at a green field adjacent to the stream.

"Camp here!"

Dawu got out of the car, put his hand on the car door, and said with a smile: "Tomorrow morning, transfer to a ship and you will be able to reach your destination."

"Great, camping~" Yurika held up the mouse, "I want to sleep with Tianxi!"

"Sure, Yurika." Di Anxi smiled and said, "This is the first time I know about camping."

"Then, I'll be with Mr. Lu—" Xiaozhi scratched his head.

"Reject, you sleep in the sleeping bag yourself, or sleep with the king of AZ." Lu Ye said lightly.

"Eh!?" Xiaozhi drooped his shoulders.

AZ looked at Xiaozhi with a wrinkled smile on his face.

"Hey!" Xiaozhi's expression froze, and he ran to help set up the tent.

Lu Ye looked at AZ in surprise: "Are you trying to scare him just now?"

AZ is noncommittal.

Unexpectedly, AZ has such an active side.

Lu Ye sent Geng Gui, and the shadow clone skillfully set up the tent.

Serena was surprised: "A tent in the shape of a super giant Gengar? So cute!"

"Brother, I want to sleep with Teacher Lu!" Yurika's eyes lit up.

Lu Ye: "Ahem, no!"

"Hmm...then tonight is the ghost story segment, do you want Serena to come together?"

"What's a ghost story?" Diancie asked.

"A ghost story is a scary story about a group of ghost-type Pokémon." Serena laughed.

"Kou Jie!" Geng Gui faintly appeared behind Serena, with ghost lights floating beside him.

"Hey!" Serena felt the chill, her face turned pale.

"Haha, Geng Gui is so cute~" Yurika was not only not afraid, but laughed out loud.

"Kou Jie~" Geng Gui scratched his head heckingly.

With a smile on his face and a suit draped over his arms, Dawu was standing by the stream, blowing the evening breeze.

"Did you not bring a tent?" Lu Ye stepped forward.

"For me, a sleeping bag is fine." Dawu replied.

"It's okay to build a tent with me, my tent is very big." Lu Ye said.

Dawu was surprised, nodded immediately and said: "...I'm sorry."

At two o'clock in the morning, the forest was dark, and the silver light fell on the cobblestones.

AZ leaned against the cold boulder, seeing Tian Xi who jumped out of the tent, his eyes flickered slightly.

"Haven't you rested yet, AZ?"

"What about you?" AZ asked hoarsely.

"When I think about meeting Xernias tomorrow, it's hard for me to fall asleep." Tianxi shook her head lightly.

AZ smiled silently: "Me too."

"AZ is also looking for Xernias?"

"……yes."

AZ murmured, "You can definitely master the power to make diamonds and save the country...Princess Tianxi, you can definitely."

"Thank you, AZ~" Tianxi smiled slightly.

As the moonlight fell, AZ and Tianxi looked up silently.

inside the tent.

Lu Ye caressed the fairy Ibrahimovic who was lying on his side, with one arm under his pillow, lost in thought.

"When we meet Xerneas, ask about the whereabouts of the goblin tablet..."
