Trainer? I'm just an ordinary hot spring owner.

Getting the approval of a regional doctor is much more difficult than just having enough elves and enough battles.

Not to mention how to gain recognition, ordinary people can't even meet the doctors in these regions, so how can they gain recognition?

It is precisely because of this that the Pokémon Trainer can be said to be the favorite son of each region and the undoubted protagonist in different regions.

Such a trainer must not be neglected. He just wants to apply for permission to use the battle field for one day. His process is legal and compliant, and he is still a student in the school. There is no problem at all.

"Oh no, now you have succeeded," Lao Gao answered the phone and couldn't help but tease, but his heart was filled with relief. For an educator, there is nothing more gratifying than seeing his students succeed.

"Hehe..." Jiang Cheng grinned foolishly on the other end of the phone.

"Tell me quickly, how did you become a Pokédex trainer? Didn't you open a hot spring parlor over there? Why? Did you give a back rub to the regional doctor?"

"How do you know? Hey, let me tell you, the doctor came in and looked at my arm, and asked me, 'Child, have you eaten?' Can I bear that? I put on a bath towel on the spot, and guess what, I rubbed it so hard that it turned red like a shrimp!"

Seeing that he was joking and his student was not smooth talking, Lao Gao interrupted: "Okay, stop joking and tell me what's going on. Really, why didn't I notice that you are so joking before? Did you go to Alola to let yourself go?"

"How can that be possible? You are familiar with this. This is called cultural export. When we go out, we must bring the essence of our culture with us."

Jiang Cheng couldn't help but add another sentence before explaining honestly.

It is always hard to give up the local accent and flavor. I didn't feel anything like it in Alola before, but after hearing Lao Gao's Mandarin with a Tianjin accent and that familiar teasing tone, Jiang Cheng felt like something was about to burst out, but he forced it down.

"It's a long story, but anyway, I was doing pretty well here, and then I was recognized by Professor Kukui. He thought I was a rare trainer prodigy, so he gave me this illustrated book out of admiration for my talent."

Lao Gao listened to Jiang Cheng's words and sighed. It was great that his child, who used to be introverted, always kept his head down and didn't dare to look at people, and always looked at the tops of his shoes when he took him out to eat, has now become as bright as the morning sun.

Lao Gao has been teaching for many years and has seen many children. He knows the children's habits of talking to him very well.

They always emphasize what they have achieved, and ignore what they have experienced on the way to achieving these things. The so-called reporting of good news but not bad news is just a simple and pure desire to let the people who care about them see that they are living a good life. They don't want to see him/her hear bad news about them, suffer and worry at home, and hate themselves for not being able to help.

It sounds ridiculous that a child who is not even fifteen years old and alone in a foreign country can run a hot spring spa. He also needs to get the recognition of the regional doctor and become a Pokémon trainer. The journey must not be easy. Words are too light and the suffering is too heavy. How can the difficulties and hardships be described in two sentences?

But the child still told himself with light words that everything was fine.

Lao Gao just let it go and believed that everything was fine with him.

"Then it's a deal. I'll come over then, and you have to take me to try the stir-fried dishes. I've been craving for this when I'm out. Where did you find that restaurant? Why is it so delicious..."

Jiang Cheng on the other end of the phone was still making hopes with Lao Gao, and Lao Gao also agreed with a smile: "You kid wants to eat as soon as you get here, okay! I'll take you to eat as much as you want!"

"Really? Well... Lao Gao, I still have a few elves..."

Lao Gao was at a loss whether to laugh or cry: "I've already invited you, a big-bellied man, so how can I miss your spirit? Please treat me!"

But soon, Lao Gao asked cautiously: "You don't raise a Snorlax, do you?"

"What do you think I am? It's absolutely impossible!"

"Then you said that Donghuang people don't cheat Donghuang people."

"Donghuang people don't lie to Donghuang people!"

"Okay, the teacher believes in you."

"But am I not an Alola now?"

"Go to hell!"

Laughing and cursing, Lao Gao hung up the phone and remained silent for a long time.

He remembered very clearly the scene of Jiang Cheng, the child, gnawing on two hard steamed buns with cold water at lunch time. The steamed buns were bought yesterday because they were cheaper at the evening market.

When I saw it, I took the child out to eat. There were too many eyes in the school cafeteria and the child felt uncomfortable there.

He had never taken Jiang Cheng to eat anything really good. They were just some common roadside stir-fried dishes or a bowl of noodles. But to the child, these were already delicacies. He always ate up his share cleanly.

I had caught a glimpse of him on the computer screen before. The child who used to be skinny and small, with protruding cheeks and could not be called good-looking at all, has now become full of energy, with plump cheeks, rosy complexion and fair skin, and looks like a handsome young boy.

That’s great, Lao Gao exclaimed.

Hey...Jiang Mingjun, you died so happily!

Chapter 158: It seems that I am not alone

After calling the teacher, Jiang Cheng sat in front of the window in a daze for a long time.

I didn’t realize before that I came into this world...it has been more than a month.

It’s really been quite a while.

I say I miss that world, but I don’t miss it that much.

Is it the nostalgia itself, or is it the nostalgia for a certain period of time, a period of time spent with certain people?

But in that world, the people Jiang Cheng could miss have already passed away, and the rest, he really couldn’t miss them during this period of time.

For no reason, Jiang Cheng suddenly felt as if fate was playing tricks on him.

The parents of my previous life turned into vampires after I grew up, and they were like leeches that could not be torn off. When I looked around, there was no one to whom I could tell my sorrow. After traveling through time, I unexpectedly met the original owner whose fate was so similar to my own.

It’s a pity that when I arrived...the child had already passed away.

I was alone in that world, and I am still alone in this one.

But through this phone call with Lao Gao, Jiang Cheng also remembered his mentor, the man who always wore a striped shirt, had greasy hair, and always rode a bicycle to and from get off work.

The teacher named Zhang was not as attentive to students as Lao Gao, but he was also conscientious and did the best he could. He worked hard to have a bright future and not be dragged into the quagmire by his family.

Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng felt a sense of regret.

Ever since I passed the exam to graduate from that place, in order to distance myself from those two people, it seems that I have never gone back to see them again.

Now I feel regretful no matter how I think about it.

We should spend more time together.

Let him see his later achievements, treat the teacher to a big meal, and sit together with him for an afternoon after the meal to talk in detail about his growth and changes in his character over the years.

You should spend more time with the people you care about.

.....Jiang Cheng was in a daze, when he suddenly felt a cool touch like leaf leaves on his palm, and he also felt the softness of down on his head.

When Jiang Cheng came to his senses, he saw Erguiyan holding his hand tightly, and Zhenyifa was embracing his head with its wings, staring at him closely, so close that his nose was almost touching his face, as if this way he could see clearly what was in Jiang Cheng's mind.

"Boni...." Ergui looked at Jiang Cheng with some worry. It was the first time she saw Jiang Cheng so depressed, and the worry in her eyes was written all over her face.

"Fa ah?" Are you sad? Zhen Yifa spoke quickly, she was also worried, but she was more inclined to solve Jiang Cheng's worries, such as beating him up for the things that made him sad.

Jiang Cheng didn't want his bad mood to affect the little ones, so he just said vaguely: "Just...thinking about something."

"Send it?" What are you thinking about?

"Is Flutterwing going to fight someone today as well?"

"Send it" I want it!

Lady Zhen Yifa was very serious about supporting Jiang Cheng, and after seeing Jiang Cheng say that all the celebratory meals came from her, she became even more excited. She would challenge many people every day, but Jiang Cheng was worried about her health, so he limited the number of challenges she could have each day and she could not fight more than once.

Not to mention, during this period of time, Zhenyifa's level has skyrocketed. It is indeed fast to open a gym and train Pokémon.

"Lord Zhenyifa is so powerful, but he should also pay more attention to the balance between work and rest."

I don’t understand the word “fa ah”.

"Just need to spread your wings and have a good rest"

"Fa~" Lord Zhenyifa is resting!

What is "Faa" thinking about?

As expected of a natural born hunter, his ability to chase prey is truly unmatched.

Jiang Cheng had no choice but to answer honestly: "I'm thinking about something related to homesickness."

"Have a good time~" Smell and smell good~

"Bo Ni Ao~" Things about homesickness~

Looking around, he saw two pairs of clear eyes everywhere, but with this interruption, Jiang Cheng felt relieved for no reason.

Zhen Yifa followed Jiang Cheng's gaze and looked out the window: "Fa~" The clouds seemed to be about to fall.

"Yeah~" Jiang Cheng looked at the thick cumulonimbus clouds in the distance. Midsummer is also the season with frequent heavy rains. It was not so severe at noon, but now the thick rain clouds gathered above the sea, giving a feeling of dark clouds covering the city.

Why are the “Boni” clouds so low?

"This question is a bit complicated... It may be because the sea is too vast and the flat sea surface makes the clouds appear lower. It may also be because of the terrain that makes the rain clouds condense lower. The cloud in front is a cumulonimbus cloud, which is very high on top and very low to the ground below. Of course, it is also possible that there is some kind of spirit in it."

Now the two pairs of eyes are clearer.

"It's normal not to understand. Knowledge is not acquired overnight. Even the smartest people won't understand things they've never seen before, even if they are as talented as Egui Yan or as powerful as Master Zhenyifa."

"It is enough to know that we have witnessed a different kind of scenery together again."

"Boni-ao!"

"Yes, we witnessed it together."

Touching Ergui's little head and looking at the small beret that he had always worn on his head, Jiang Cheng found that he didn't seem to be so lonely in this world.

"Send it~"

Cumulonimbus

"Zhen Yifa is really smart. He remembered it after I told him once."

"Yeah?" Will cumulonimbus clouds fall down?

“It will turn into rain and fall on the ground”

Why doesn’t “fa ah” turn into meat?

"Because Rourou has to rely on Master Zhenyifa to earn it back with his own hands."

Zhen Yifa had many reasons, and Jiang Cheng patiently answered them one by one.

As the question and answer came, raindrops fell to the ground.

Big drops of rain hit the ground, crumpling the pond in the front yard into a ball. The trees in the backyard had nowhere to stay and were soaked through, filling the sky and the earth with darkness.

Thunder rumbled one after another, illuminating the dark sky and earth.

I don't know what happened to Kaguya Tetsuka.

Just when he was about to call the Ether Foundation to ask, he received a message from Mamane: "Mamane has been transferred to the foundation, don't worry!"

As if afraid that Jiang Cheng would not believe it, Mamane also attached a photo. At this moment, Tiehuo Huiye was indoors, looking at the power of nature outside the glass dome.

Mamane's love for this child was indeed not fake.

This time I owe someone a favor.

Pay it back later.

Jiang Cheng thought about it, picked up Erguilang, held him in his arms, and returned to the room with his hair fluttering.

It was a thunderstorm, and the sky and the earth were dark. It was a good day to close the door and concentrate on sleeping.

Better get some good sleep

Chapter 159: Getting Ready to Go

"Are you going to Donghuang?" Liliae came over and asked as she watched Jiang Cheng packing his luggage again.

Jiang Cheng looked at Liliae, watching her holding a Pokémon egg padded with cotton very carefully, like an expectant mother.

"Yes, the hot spring center has been having a promotion these days, and the consumables in the center are a little insufficient. I also need to buy some spices there." Jiang Cheng counted his inventory and calculated what he needed to buy.

The system can help you get towels and bathrobes, but disposable slippers, washing supplies, shower gel, shampoo and the like are not available in the system yet, so you can only buy them there.

However, Jiang Cheng believes that with such a high-tech product as the system, there will definitely be something that can solve these problems in the future, right Tongzi?

However, this trip to Donghuang is not just for shopping. Jiang Cheng also wants to buy spices and some cooking books. It would be best if he could investigate the local area to see what special snacks there are that are simple and easy to make and can be replicated in Alola.

I am also very dedicated in running the hot spring center!

"Speaking of which, I need your help with something, Lilia."
