Pokémon: The Zen Trainer

"It's just an exchange of experiences. Please say a few words out of respect for your teacher."

Teacher Huang looked at the side and thought for a moment before speaking.

"Okay then~"

Since Teacher Huang has already said that, I can only say a few words while thinking.

Anyway, I'm very good at spouting inspirational quotes and such.

"Nothing has changed here."

Bian Xiang followed behind Teacher Huang, looking at the somewhat dilapidated buildings around them, and said.

"Yes, you've changed a lot."

"I?"

Bian Xiang looked at Teacher Huang and asked with some curiosity.

You used to always seem a bit lonely, but now you seem much more cheerful.

"Did you make any friends in high school?"

Teacher Huang looked at the side and thought for a moment before speaking.

"friend?"

He thought about his three brothers, the guys on the school team, and his own Pokémon.

"That's right~"

A slight smile appeared on Bian Xiang's lips.

I was thinking about the moment I followed Teacher Huang into the teaching building.

As he thought about it, the shadow twisted slightly.

Bian Xiang paused, staring blankly at his own shadow.

"What's wrong? What are you thinking?"

Teacher Huang looked at the doorway and suddenly stopped, wanting to ask a question.

Are there any other students like Ms. Huang who lack focus in class?

"Hmm... let me think. Now that you mention it, it seems like there are a few in other classes as well."

"Speaking of which, there's a game that's been really popular at school lately, especially among the girls. They must be playing games too much. They're already in their final year of junior high and they're still playing this kind of game."

Teacher Huang said somewhat angrily.

He looked at his own shadow.

Haunter is warning itself.

In the classroom, Bian Xiang sat in Bian Meng's seat, glancing out the window every now and then.

Bian Meng's classroom is on the fifth floor, and there is a storage room on the upper floor.

Bian Xiang still remembers a few unbelievable ideas that circulated in school before.

What about Hanako in the toilet, the midnight clock, and moving statues?

I wasn't particularly interested in these things.

We're too busy studying elves to have time to study ghosts.

The legend disappeared after I entered high school.

The reason is simple: all the senior high school students have elves.

What? There are ghosts? Let's go and challenge them!

Even if there really were ghosts, they would all be driven crazy by these most combative senior high school students.

Moreover, in legends, places where ghosts are said to be haunted are usually inhabited by ghost-type Pokémon.

.....

After the parent-teacher meeting, Ms. Huang looked down and said, "The parent-teacher meeting is now over."

"I hope you can have a good talk with your children when you get back."

"The third year of junior high school is a critical period, and as parents, you should never put too much pressure on your children."

"You should pay close attention to your child's condition."

.....

Eleven o'clock at night.

Several students quietly arrived at the gate of Gushan Middle School.

He swallowed hard, staring at the dark school building.

"President, are we really going to go in like this?"

“We don’t even have any elves, and I’m a little scared.”

"What are you afraid of?! We're just checking on this strange incident on campus!"

"This is what our Ghost Research Society should do."

The girl at the head of the group, an energetic girl with pigtails, turned to look at the students with glasses behind her and said.

Teramoto Misuzu, the president of the Koyama Junior High School Ghost Research Club, turned to look at the three club members behind her and said.

"According to my research, places with paranormal events on campus usually have ghost-type spirits."

"As fans of Ghost-type monsters, we must face them bravely!"

"And I even brought a bottle of spray to repel spirits, which I found in my dad's suitcase."

Upon hearing Teramoto Misuzu's words, the club members behind her exchanged glances and mustered their courage to climb over the wall.

.....

I wanted to stand at the school gate.

Looking at the completely dark teaching building.

He was holding a mirror in his hand.

After the parent-teacher meeting, Bian Xiang made a special call to Bian Meng.

Recently, a game called "Asking the Mirror" has become popular at their school.

Bian Meng and her friends had played together before after school.

Bian Xiang looked in the mirror, then gazed at the pitch-black school.

You've got some nerve, daring to touch my sister?! I've been the only one who can bully her since we were kids.

Bian Xiang looked at the teaching building and let out a cold laugh.

They easily scaled the wall and entered the campus.

...

The school was completely silent at midnight.

Moonlight shone into the corridor.

Tap, tap, tap, a few members of the club walked quietly one after another down the school corridor.

Misuzu Teramoto, holding a flashlight, said, "Based on my deduction, this Ghost-type Pokémon must have come to our school about two weeks ago."

"The most popular thing at our school lately is asking about mirrors, and some of it is probably related to that."

"President, how did you know?"

"Didn't I tell you that I can see different things?"

"I can see things that ordinary people can't!"

Teramoto Misuzu looked at the company members behind her and said.

"You have it right here."

"President~~"

Asuka Mori was almost scared to tears by Teramoto Misuzu's serious expression.

"Okay, okay, I was just kidding."

"We're almost there. This is it. The sealed storage room is just ahead."

"There's a legend at our school that a student disappeared in the storage room and was never found again."

"The storage room is still constantly being knocked on, in the hope that someone will go in and find him."

Teramoto Misuzu looked at the company member in front of her and said.

"Of course, our trip has little to do with this. Our main purpose is to investigate the authenticity of this 'asking the mirror' game."

Teramoto Misuzu took out a mirror and placed it at the top of the stairs leading to the storage room.

Then he lit a candle in front of the mirror.
