Pokémon: The Zen Trainer

Lu Fangyuan glared at Bian Xiang with resentment, then put away his Pokémon and left the arena without a word.

A string of five?

"Brother Xiang, you're my god!!!"

A group of people surrounded him as he thought.

Du Congyu suppressed his excitement. "Young spirit, you will never let me down! You've finally taken this step!"

Principal Okamoto looked at the crowd below, confident that the Chengdu High School League was now a sure thing.

.....

Chapter Twenty-Eight: Attack (First Update)

This is a food stall near Chunye Middle School.

“I said, Teacher Du, I heard you won a lot of money.”

"Just treat me to a street food stall."

While sitting by the food stall, he kept glancing at the coal turtle inside.

The coal turtle glanced at it, thought for a moment, and nodded.

"Turtle~"

All the heat at this food stall is provided by the owner's coal turtle.

Slices of tempting roasted meat were stuck to the coal turtle's body, emitting an irresistible aroma, with oil slowly dripping down its skin.

"This restaurant's charcoal-grilled meat is absolutely amazing, especially the bellflower root."

Teacher Du looked at it and thought for a moment before speaking.

"Well, I won't be polite!"

"Gastly, eat as much as you want, don't be shy with Teacher Du."

"just!!!"

Gastly nodded, then buried its head deep into the pile of food again.

Although it doesn't help the elves grow, it tastes good.

"You little rascal, you almost lost your wife's dowry this time. Luckily, you did well."

Teacher Du held a glass of sake in her hand, drank it all in one gulp, and her face turned slightly red.

Today, Du Congyu specifically asked his wife for a day off.

"I knew you would make it into the school team, but I didn't expect it to be in this way."

"Ha ha ha ha."

"Okay, boss, another plate of grilled meat, please."

"OK."

"Bianxiang, do you know, a month ago I was really wondering if I was suited to be a teacher?"

"Would the other students' Pokémon have developed better if it weren't for me?"

"Is it because my skill level is too low that I'm limiting your development?"

Bian paused for a moment, thinking, "Teacher Du actually wanted to talk to me about this?"

"No, Teacher Du is the most suitable."

While thinking, he turned to look at Du Congyu, who was constantly asking himself questions, with a piece of grilled meat in his mouth.

“That’s right! After seeing your and Shouxin’s performance, I know that my parenting methods are not wrong.”

"Especially those three lively characters in the class, they suddenly seemed like completely different people after coming back from the Trumpet Mound."

"Each one is more serious than the last."

"Actually, I was planning to resign after you graduated."

"But after seeing the changes in you, Shouxin, and those three rascals, I've decided to continue teaching."

"For teachers, there is nothing more gratifying than seeing their students make progress."

At this point, Teacher Du raised the sake in his hand and drank it all in one gulp.

"Boss, another plate of grilled meat, please."

"Here we go."

With a snap, Teacher Du slammed his wine glass down on the table and let out a long sigh.

As he looked at the half-drunk Teacher Du, he suddenly remembered something.

"So I've made it onto the school team too. All my classmates are working so hard, so we should all be considered to have made progress, right?"

"Hmm?? Progress?" Teacher Du squinted.

Then I laughed. Of course, it's all progress!! That's why I'm happy today.

Bian Xiang smiled slightly.

The system's voice came to my ears.

Complete Teacher Du's obsession: Gain 100 Buddha-nature points.

Does it mean that as long as the person with the obsession believes it's done, then it's done?

Bian Xiang gained a new understanding of the methods for resolving obsessions.

The first approach is to genuinely resolve the obsession, while the second is to make the person with the obsession believe that it has been resolved. This significantly reduces the difficulty of resolving some obsessions.

So, is it possible to get the other party to let go of their obsession? Didn't Buddha say that one can become a Buddha by laying down one's butcher's knife?

He touched his chin, thinking, "Perhaps that's feasible."

"By the way, Lao Du, do you know anything about a club at our school called R Club?"

With a thud, as I turned my head, I saw that Teacher Du was already slumped over the table, unconscious.

"Holy crap!! Old Du, wake up! Where do you live? Where's your wallet? Where's your Poké Ball?"

......

While carrying Lao Du towards Lao Du's house, it was Big-Beaked Sparrow who helped find the wallet and paid the bill.

With this level of alcohol tolerance, he can basically say goodbye to drinking altogether.

You got drunk after just three drinks? You're not a girl.

Despite the stench of alcohol, Bian Xiang carried Lao Du with difficulty toward Lao Du's house.

Gastly floated behind Bianxiang with a satisfied look on its face.

The Finch was about to be recalled from its Poké Ball. Finch is classified as a Pokémon that needs to be controlled and recalled when its owner loses control.

Otherwise, you'll be invited to the police station for questioning.

Wu Wen's words about the R Club gave Bian Xiang a rather unpleasant association. In the entire Pokémon world, the only thing that could be associated with this letter was probably Team Rocket.

However, the Rockets' core players had been completely dismantled by the Reds a year ago.

Those active in the Chengdu area are only some remnants of the Rockets.

Of course, it's also possible that during his chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) years, he became curious about organizations like Team Rocket and named it the R Club, or perhaps he was just overthinking it and it might be called the ROSE Club.

Five old men called the Rose Society? Hmm...

However, the opponent's several pre-evolved Pokémon and their irritable personalities reminded Bian of Gyarados in Lake of Rage.

There are dodos over at the Lake of Rage, so don't be afraid.

Dragon Tamer is currently the champion of the Chengdu region and one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Kanto region.

Because of the special historical relationship between Chengdu and the Guandong region, things are now very complicated.

The two alliances are currently discussing the possibility of a complete breakup.

Before they knew it, Bian Xiang had led Teacher Du to a secluded path.

"Arbok! Dissolving solution!!!"

Under the bright moonlight, a purple curtain of water shone on Bian Xiang and Teacher Du.

He wanted to kick Teacher Du away.

Then, he casually took out a Finch's Poké Ball from his pocket and threw it out.

"Big-billed bird, peck at the drill!!"

"Gah!!!"

"boom!!!"

The big-beaked bird used its large beak to open the purple barrier.

The purple venom hissed as it was spilled on the ground.
