Chapter 31 Chapter 31
"Ugh……"

"I didn't expect the two-tailed monster to go with Zhenyong in the end."

There was a little incomprehension in Li Zhuang Chicken's voice.

But Riolu enlightened him and said:
"Speaking of which, this is actually a normal phenomenon."

"Pokémon and Pokémon are not exactly the same."

"We have indeed had enough of human persecution..."

"But the two-tailed monster, this one seems to want to borrow the power of a human trainer, but he hasn't made himself stronger..."

“Everyone’s pursuits are different, and their performance is naturally different.”

"There is no one who is better and who is worse. It is already very good that we can understand each other between Pokémon with different philosophies."

"Is that so..."

The strong chicken murmured:
"...But, but I still don't feel very happy."

"Obviously everyone is just a Pokémon, so it's good to be ourselves. Why do we have to rely on humans?"

Speaking of which, Riolu actually agrees with the point of view of the strong chicken.

Because in a way, Riolu is both human and Pokémon.

"...Okay, don't discuss this topic anymore."

"Anyway, judging from the final result, I got what I wanted, didn't I?"

The strong chicken nodded.

"...I guess so."

This is the second day of Riolu and Rooster's adventure again.

Since two days ago, Mr. Gang Teng once again challenged the owner of the Black Gold Gym, Piaotai, and failed.

Since then, he has lost his qualification as a registered trainer of the Pokémon Center.

Mr. Gunten, who has no trainer qualifications, may never have the opportunity to participate in various Pokémon-related competitions.

Mr. Gunten felt sorry for the two-tailed monster who wanted to become stronger.

It was at this time that Zhenyong, who was very interested in normal-type Pokémon, appeared in front of Mr. Gunten.

Mr. Gang Teng also knew in his heart that Zhenyong might be a more suitable trainer for the Two-Tailed Hand than he is now.

So Mr. Gunten entrusted the right of choice to the two-tailed monster.

The two-tailed monster hesitated for a long time, but decided to continue on the road of becoming stronger.

The relationship between Mr. Gunten and the Hand of the Tail is relatively deep.

For the departure of the two-tailed monster, Mr. Gunten felt very reluctant on the one hand, on the other hand, he also knew that this was the wish in the palm of the two-tailed monster, and blessed her for working hard towards her goal.

"Mr. Gunten, please rest assured."

"I will definitely replace you and take care of the Two-Tailed Hand."

Sincere thanks to Mr. Gunten.

Even Riolu had to admit it.

Although he has never had even the slightest trust in Zhenyong, a human being.

But Riolu also couldn't deny that the two-tailed monster might become stronger under his training.

However, whether the two-tailed monster's life will be happy from now on, whether he can still be as happy and comfortable as he is with Mr. Gunten, Riolu can't guarantee.

Zhenyong left with the Two-Tailed Hand.

Mr Gunten seems to have fallen into "retirement syndrome" in his later years.

Mr. Gang Teng has been away from home for more than 60 years, and most of his former relatives and friends are gone.

Now for the last time, the chance to continue his role as a Pokémon trainer has failed.

For a while, Mr. Gunten seemed to be in a trance and doing nothing.

He seems to be regretting his life of inaction, he is listless every day, and looks depressed.

In view of this, Riolu and Strong Chicken deliberately stayed in Black Gold City and stayed with Mr. Gunten for two more days.

Needless to say, in just these two days, things really took a turn for the better.

Mr. Gunten is also an old man who has been working in the Pokémon trainer business for decades.

Putting aside his past performance history, his rich Pokémon battle experience, as well as Pokémon training and management experience, are beyond the reach of ordinary novice trainers.

Experience is wealth, at least in most cases.

On the day when Riolu and Lizhuangji decided to leave Heijin City and continue their journey.

Piao Tai, the owner of the Heijin Gymnasium, actually visited Mr. Gunten in person.

"Mr. Gunton..."

"I came here specifically to invite you to be the advisor of the Black Gold Gym."

The leader of the Black Gold Gym, Hyotai, straight to the point stated his purpose as soon as he came up.

When Mr. Gunten heard this, his eyes lit up, but immediately dimmed again:

"...Oh, don't comfort me, an old man..."

"consultant?"

"Based on my record, even if I 'care' about me, what can I 'ask' about..."

Piao Tai shook his head:
"Mr. Gunton is serious!"

"As the saying goes, 'Having an elder in the family is like having a treasure'. Mr. Gunten's habit of stealing from others really brings disgrace to our younger generation."

"...Let's be honest..."

"My grandfather is an explorer who loves cave exploration, and my parents are not professional Pokémon trainers..."

"Actually, it is you, Mr. Gunten, who inspired me and made me finally decide to become a Pokémon trainer!"

Pyota looked at Mr. Gunten with firm eyes:

"The first Pokémon battle I watched when I was young was Mr. Gunten's match..."

"It was at that time that I decided on my own future path!"

"It can be said that Mr. Gunten, you are the one who led me into the Pokémon trainer industry!"

"I'm here to ask you to serve as the gym's consultant. I hope that through our joint efforts, more Pokémon trainers can obtain the knowledge they want, so that they can achieve more with our help. Big progress!"

Piaotai suddenly became excited:
"Please think about it, even though you are getting older, I'm afraid you won't be able to withstand high-intensity Pokémon battles."

"However, if the Pokémon trainers trained by you can achieve outstanding results in successive Pokémon battle competitions."

"In comparison, isn't it more exciting and exciting!"

"Or, Mr. Gunten, are you willing to let yourself be full of skills, valuable experience, and the methods of understanding and caring for various Pokémon..."

"Let them... be buried in Black Gold City like dusty rocks, instead of letting them shine and sparkle like the mines mined by me in Black Gold City?!"

"I……"

Mr. Gunten hesitated to make a sound, and seemed to want to move.

"All right……"

Finally, Mr. Gang Teng is not a person who is willing to be ordinary and lonely during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Looking back, Leolu was also happy that the old man who had been stubbornly fighting all his life finally found his goal for the rest of his life.

The difference between Pokémon and Pokémon is like the difference between humans and humans.
