Pokemon our time

At the Pokémon Center, Xiao Jue sat on a chair, dejected. The scenes of previous battles came to mind one after another. He seemed to blame himself even more. Because of his excessive self-confidence and enthusiasm, Popo was injured, and Charmander was even more injured. He was seriously injured and in a coma, and he is still in the treatment room.

"Am I really suitable to be a trainer?" Xiao Jue looked at the treatment room and couldn't help but think of this sentence.

This was the first time he doubted himself. Compared to Kaguya's absolute confidence and knowledge of Pokémon, he really only had a passion for it, just like a dumb kid.

Huge difference in level and level of training. The gap between the power of skills was something he had not considered.

Time passes slowly...

Xiaojue has always been in self-doubt. He is confused. As a trainer, he doesn't know what to do.

Ding.

The bell in the treatment room rang. This time, only Miss Joy came out. She looked at Xiao Jue and found that he was still with his head down and seemed not to hear the bell.

Miss Joy frowned slightly: "Xiao Jue, Charmander is out of danger, but due to his injury, he still has to stay in the treatment room for a while."

Xiaojue, who had always lowered his head, slowly raised his head after hearing the news. His colorless eyes were a little brighter, but that was all.

Seeing this, Miss Joy shook her head in disappointment: "As a trainer, failure is a process that must be experienced. Weren't you still trying to persuade the trainer named Xiaofeng before? Why, now you are confused. Already?"

She heard from other trainers chatting about the news that Xiao Jue was deeply affected by his failure in the battle. When Xiao Jue came to the Pokémon Center for treatment, she had already been counseled. Joey originally thought that at this time when Charmander was undergoing treatment, Duan, Xiaojue can figure it out, but now it seems that she is overthinking.

Xiaojue's voice lost its usual vitality and replied: "But as Xiaofeng said before, I didn't think so much and just fought with passion. All of this could have been safely avoided."

"What do you think the role of a trainer is?"

Miss Joy’s question was strange, but Xiao Jue thought for a while and replied: “I think the trainer’s responsibility is to grow with the Pokémon, guide it to its potential, let it upgrade and evolve, and become the strongest .”

"So do you think you did it?"

"No……"

"Since you know that, why are you still sitting here now? Trainers and Pokémon need to grow and become stronger together. If you fail, you have failed. It's not the time to sit down and be dejected, but to find a way to win next time. return."

"If like you, you just failed once, suffered some blows, and just gave up on yourself, you might as well give up on the path of being a trainer and go home as soon as possible."

Miss Joy was no longer gentle as before. She put her hands on her waist and spoke in a stern voice, like a strict teacher. She lowered her head lower than Xiao Jue and did not dare to speak.

He lowered his head and moved his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.

"Think about it for yourself. No trainer's journey is smooth sailing. Even the champion experienced failures and encountered strong enemies when he was young, but he defeated everything and became the strongest. But you will just hang your head here and blame yourself!"

Miss Joy left. She said everything she needed to say. She was just an ordinary Pokémon nurse, not a life coach. She had her own job and couldn't waste too much time here.

Xiaojue, who had been silent all this time, stood up slowly, walked into the treatment room and came to the bedside, where Charmander was lying on it with a bandage.

Both knew each other but neither spoke. Xiao Jue stood there, thinking for a long time, and seemed to have made up his mind and took out the Poké Ball that belonged to Charmander: "I'm sorry Charmander, it's all because of me as a bad trainer. , which caused you to be so seriously injured."

Charmander said nothing and looked at the ceiling silently.

Xiaojue paused for a moment and continued to talk to himself: "Little Charmander, do you know that during the time you were rescued, I had self-doubt about myself for the first time outside? I'm such a bad trainer, I only have less than enough enthusiasm, and I don't have the strength to match your potential."

"Outside, I thought a lot. I thought about giving up, but I was not willing to fail so easily. I was not willing to let this one setback make me give up everything. Charmander, I know it was me who dragged you down, but I I really like you, I liked you the first time I saw you, I liked you for no reason..." Xiao Jue's voice became more choked and thin as he spoke.

After adjusting his condition, he continued: "To be honest, after traveling, I often fantasize about you evolving into a fire-breathing dragon. I want to challenge the eight badges with you, challenge the Pokémon League competition with you, challenge the four kings, and become the champion, but I know that my strength is not enough. As Kaguya said before, I am too unqualified as a trainer, and you have great potential, but you are just dragged down by me..."

"Perhaps it would be a better choice for you to change your trainer..."

Xiao Jue placed the Poke Ball belonging to Charmander next to it. The best thing for Pokémon is not possession, but self-choice.

Xiao Jue took a few steps back and bowed deeply to Charmander, then slowly turned around. He felt too much reluctance to let go. Although it was only a few days of travel, the two had already formed a rich bond.

But in the end he had no choice but to drag it down.

stomping on...

He walked towards the door, each step was heavy and his voice was clear. The scenes of his travels these days flashed in his mind.

"fire."

When he walked to the door again, there was a slight cry, and then the sound of the Poke Ball turning on and off appeared in his ears.

When Xiao Jue reached the door, he paused and turned his head tremblingly. He saw no Charmander on the bed, only a Poké Ball swinging from side to side.

He had been holding back tears and covered his mouth with both hands, trying not to let himself cry. However, he could not stop the tears from falling from his eyes. He raised his head and looked out the window. What appeared on his face was his own sunny smile, but it was matched with It looked a little strange to have tears on his face.

The light of the setting sun shines through the window and shines on Xiao Jue and the Poké Ball, elongating their figures and intersecting them.

A ten-year-old child, a powerful and greedy Pokémon, the relationship between the two transcends everything at this moment, becoming a true partner, the best partner forever.

Miss Joy poked her head out secretly outside the door. She had seen all the previous scenes, and her hanging heart was completely relieved.

Once upon a time, Joy was also a passionate girl. She took the first Pokémon she received and embarked on the road to collect badges and conquer the championship. Although the final result was failure, she seemed to see her childhood self in Xiao Jue.

We both love Pokémon, we are eager to travel, and we want to challenge the Pokémon League Tournament...
