Chapter 13 Neither of them is wrong

"Beep-beep-"

Three buses drove slowly along the long straight road leading to the school gate. Qin Zhen and Millerton stood on one side of the aisle, looking at the words "Donghuang Alliance Tanzhou City Elf Breeding Bureau" on the body of the bus, and couldn't help feeling confused.

"Didn't the exchange week end after school? Why did you come to pick up the elf this morning?"

"They're here to pick up the group of Pokémons who gave up on the exchange week early." Someone said behind Qin Zhen's back, "After all, the number of Pokémons who participate in the exchange week every year is equal to the number of new graduates. If they wait until after school to pick them all up, not only will the Breeding Bureau be short of vehicles and personnel, but it will also easily cause traffic problems."

"Teacher Chen?" Qin Zhen turned around and greeted him. "Is Catelyn okay?"

"The school doctor said he had a few broken bones and a slight concussion, but it's not bad. He had recovered before I came here."

"That's good." Qin Zhen nodded and asked, "Teacher, I just heard you say that you are giving up the three royal families during the exchange week?"

"Well, although the Breeding Bureau does its best to ensure that the elves participating in the exchange week are of average strength, there will always be strong and weak elves. The weak elves will naturally be disliked by the students. If they are disliked too much, they will naturally want to leave."

"Of course, those who want to leave early aren't all weaklings. Some powerful elves look down on students and choose to leave early." Teacher Chen walked over to Qin Zhen and stood beside him, tilting his chin towards the other side of the aisle. "For example, that person over there..."

Qin Zhen looked in the direction the old man pointed and saw two drops of deep sapphire blue. Those were the eyes of the Vine Snake, standing alone on the other side of the aisle. Because the act of hurling her opponent three stories high and then dropping her headfirst in public was so brutal, both humans and elves were unconsciously avoiding her.

"Teacher, what will happen after these three starter Pokémons are taken back? Will we continue to look for trainers next year?"

"Generally speaking, that's impossible. After all, the Starter Pokémons evolve very quickly." Teacher Chen said, "But don't worry. The Alliance will be responsible for assigning jobs. Grass-types will go to agriculture and forestry, water-types will go to firefighting and water conservancy, and fire-types will go to power plants and restaurants. Even without a trainer, they will have no problem supporting themselves with these jobs."

"Is that so?" Qin Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. "That's not bad."

"But ultimately, it all depends on the elf's own wishes." The old man rolled his eyes, his tone suddenly changing to one of regret. "If it were that vine snake, it would probably choose to live out its days in solitude at the Breeding Bureau, right?"

Hearing this, Qin Zhen's cheek twitched unnaturally, as if someone had suddenly stabbed him.

Qin Zhen pursed his lips. He was silent for a long time before finally asking, "Teacher, if I become a professional trainer one day, can I apply to the league to bring her back to me?"

"I don't know, because I've never been a professional trainer."

Teacher Chen shook his head. He looked at the student in front of him who finally couldn't help showing a dejected look, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.

"But Qin Zhen, why don't you take it to your side now?"

Standing in front of the bus door, Vine Snake raised his head for the last time and looked across.

The man was staring blankly at this side, and the useless motorcycle lizard was huddled beside him.

——After I leave, this stupid trainer who is so kind-hearted will definitely suffer a lot, right?

She sighed softly, closed her eyes and stopped looking. At this time, the bus stopped and the door opened. Vine Snake swung out its whip and wrapped it around the railing inside the bus. Then, the whip exerted force suddenly, carrying her into the air and flying towards the bus... A red light flashed by, and Vine Snake felt as if she had hit a soft wall.

The vine snake pulled back its whip, landed on the ground and opened its eyes, only to find that a majestic tiger-striped giant dog had appeared in front of it. The dog was as big as a horse, standing in front of the bus door, blocking the entrance tightly without leaving a single gap.

At this time, Teacher Chen walked over slowly.

"Sorry, Snake, this is the bus used by the Breeding Bureau to transport the three Pokémon. Wild Pokémon are not allowed on it."

"Chanai?"

The sadness and longing in her heart were shattered, and Teng Teng Snake's face was extremely gloomy at this time. She looked up at the defeated opponent, and two vine whips slowly rose from behind her shoulders.

"It's no use threatening me with force." The old man looked down at her, his hands behind his back. "If you claim you're from one of the three great families of the Animal Husbandry Bureau, then produce evidence."

The vine snake snorted angrily, swung its tail in front of it, and prepared to take out the sign from the breeding bureau as proof.

At this moment, the vine snake suddenly froze.

——Where is my sign?

Looking at her clean tail, Snake couldn't help but panic. Rejected by her favorite trainer, the Breeding Bureau was her only place to go. If she couldn't even go back there...

She held her big leaf-shaped tail and looked around, but couldn't find the small round white card.

"Excuse me, are you looking for this?"

At this time, an old hand slowly stretched out, and in the palm of its hand lay a piece of burnt, curled, and charred plastic.

Snake stared at the piece of plastic for a long time, then suddenly shuddered. At that moment, many things crossed her mind, like the phrase "Aim at the snake's tail! Use Charged Flame Attack," the phrase "Wild Pokémon," and...

She finally couldn't help but look at the young man across the aisle again. Her eyes were filled with anticipation and fear, just like people suffering from drought who suddenly saw rain clouds gathering in the sky. They were so excited that they couldn't express it in words, but they couldn't help but fear that all this was just a dream.

At this moment, the old man finally showed a naughty smile of success on his face.

"If you fail to become a young trainer's starting partner, you must return to the Breeding Bureau. This is the rule. But what does this rule have to do with a wild Pokémon? Little one, don't you agree?"

Teacher Chen flipped his wrist lightly, and the plastic block in his palm turned into a round ball with red on top and white on the bottom.

"Take this and go find him. Remember to tell your trainer that he now owes me a sandwich and a Poké Ball."
