Pokémon: The Zen Trainer

Page 312

Well... I'll let you off the hook this time for the sake of your trainer.

"Candle?"

Candlelight felt like the trainer had just helped it out?

"Senior Bian is so amazing!!"

"They actually managed to defeat Kawauchi-sensei!"

"I'm asking you this! After Senior Bian returns, who will be in the school-level league?!"

"Who else!!"

A group of people erupted in excitement.

Because Haruno finished fourth in the school league, this was the best result in history.

The school league is generating a lot of buzz right now at Haruno Junior High School; they want to go even further!

But everyone knows that the next opponent they will face is Manjin.

Currently, they are absolutely number one; the gap is so large it's despair-inducing.

Therefore, the atmosphere on campus has been somewhat somber lately, after all, the school team represents the highest level of Haruno.

The students of Haruno have a sense of belonging, and they also achieve good results in school-level competitions.

In the future, they will have better options for both further education and employment.

But now everything is different! Senior Bian is back!!

I swept aside Kawauchi-sensei, though it was somewhat impolite of me.

But it was so refreshing!!! It completely swept away my previous frustration.

"Senior Bian Xiang! The strongest!"

"The strongest!!"

A group of students started shouting.

This is catharsis, and also a celebration.

All the teachers exchanged glances but did not stop them.

Students really need a role model now.

Bian Xiang could definitely serve as this benchmark.

He then tried to put the two Pokémon into a Poké Ball.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Then he looked at the group of classmates and shook his head helplessly.

This is an FG (Five-Character Phrase) that he gave himself.

But perhaps this is what youth is all about? After all, they are a group of eighteen-year-old teenagers, at the most passionate time of their lives.

"Chirp."

The monkey monster watched the battle, observing the expressions on the faces of the Candle Spirit and the Snow Fairy.

Why do I feel a flutter in my heart?

I actually felt a little happy when that person won.

The monkey monster quickly adjusted the prayer beads in his hand to suppress his excitement.

Then it froze, realizing that the string of prayer beads had also been given to it by that human.

With that thought in mind, it left the venue immediately.

The shadow on the wall flickered where the monkey monster had left.

Dodo, Marshado emerged from the shadows and watched the departing monkey monster.

I shook my head; this child had also fallen victim.

Marcia knows this feeling all too well.

Before we knew it, thinking had become an indispensable part of our lives.

...

Six days later.

Trumpet bud tower.

The Candlelight Spirit was huffing and puffing as it released flames.

He stared at the ice sculpture in front of him, his brow beaded with sweat.

I should have made progress, right?

Why is the ice sculpture melting at a slower and slower rate?

"Candle??"

Looking at her hands, Candlelight Spirit began to doubt herself again.

He glanced at the Candlelight Spirit, then helplessly looked at the Snow Fairy.

"Snow Fairy~"

The snow fairy chuckled wickedly.

At this moment, a giant bonsai is slowly appearing in the Snow Fairy's hand.

It has made even greater progress than before.

Instead of individual ice flowers, the entire ice sculpture bonsai was created in one go.

All the ice flowers were created at the same time.

This significantly increased the difficulty for the Snow Fairy.

But the Snow Fairy likes it! This is because her feelings for her trainer must be fulfilled!

The two newly ordered Master-grade Ice Energy Cubes have arrived.

Furthermore, Bian Xiang reached an agreement with this master, who would provide Bian Xiang with a master-level ice-attribute energy cube every month.

Marshall still urges the clay giant to practice every day.

Mu Nian delivered the first batch of drinks to Bian Xiang's elf for him to try.

The feedback from several Pokémon was quite positive, especially from the Claydol.

Next, we plan to make minor adjustments based on this flavor.

The monkey monster has almost recovered.

However, the monkey has been acting strangely lately. Every day after seeing Bianxiang, it hides in a corner and fiddles with its prayer beads.

It seems like they're avoiding me?

However, it seems to like the string of Buddhist prayer beads that Bian wanted to give it to.

Now, whenever I see a monk, I fiddle with my prayer beads.

Should I send you another one next time?

Anyway, I have a lot of Buddhist prayer beads, in all sorts of styles.

The monks in the temple now say that this monkey monster is the most Buddhist spirit in the trumpet bud tower.

What they didn't know was that the monkey monster saw them fiddling with the prayer beads to forcibly suppress its own urge to attack these humans. Aside from thinking about it, the monkey monster still didn't have any goodwill towards these humans.

However, the monkey monster wasn't too lonely, because the sprites would come to play with it whenever they had free time.

...

As for Gastly.

This child requires the least amount of worry.

Gastly's Shadow Ball can now be fired repeatedly with one hand.

Maintain for thirty seconds!!

Fire continuously with both hands for fifteen seconds!

An even more exaggerated rate of fire than the previous consecutive Shadow Balls.

Now it's like a walking Gatling gun.

Moreover, the preparation time for the first launch has been significantly shortened.

Haunter has mastered all its other skills as well.

I'm thinking of adjusting Haunter's training direction when I have time.
