Pokémon: Hoenen Rage

Chapter 101 is just the beginning

That night, in the spring breeze, they talked for a long time. When Lai got home and dialed Naqi's phone, it was already early the next morning.

In the brief conversation, the relationship between the two became as harmonious as ever.

Seeing Naqi in the wild, Lai asked her about her arrangements, and received a mysterious "It will be kept secret for the time being."

Maybe she is going out to practice. With her strength, she can easily conquer the world.

With this thought in mind, Lai didn't ask any more questions and turned to talk about running a school.

Speaking of this, the smooth progress in all aspects in the past few days put Lai in a good mood, and he talked with Naqi. Naqi on the side of the screen became his rare intimate audience, and she would add a few words from time to time when talking about key points.

Unconsciously, the clock turned over again, and Lai stopped the car embarrassedly. After agreeing to find time to continue with the smiling Naqi, he hung up the phone and began to rest.

Route 110.

"Qixi blue bird, don't rest tonight, let's go directly."

After packing up the tent and putting on her windproof glasses, the girl jumped onto her partner's solid back.

In the warm moonlight, speed up towards the south.

······
Route 119.

"Cunning Tengu, I'll challenge Yinyu Gym again, but it's all up to you! We must show Naqi how powerful we are!"

"I don't know how this boy Lai's school is doing. I really want to have a good battle with him."

"When we win the Caiyou Conference, we'll go over and have a fight with him. That's it!"

······
South of Waterway No. 134, above the vast sea.

The Feilong rode the wind and waves and headed straight west.

"Master, when you go back this time, you're not just attending Lai's school founding ceremony, right?"

In the captain's room, a young man in a first mate's uniform asked.

"Yes, Kai Na's mess needs to be solved. I really didn't expect that the problem would be so serious after being covered up layer by layer."

Under the bright light, the old man crossed his hands and supported his desk.

Through the open window, the sea outside was calm.

······
On Haiyuan Island, Mori's home.

"Mr. Hefu is like a different person! There are so many homework, can he finish it by himself?!"

"If you spent half of your time doing homework, you would be able to sleep long ago."

Next to him, Sen ruthlessly revealed that the newspaper just brought by the big-mouthed sea postman was rolled into a roll and knocked on Gao Guang's head.

Vaguely, a line of headlines can be seen on the newspaper:

"Dewen Company's trainer Zifuqi Daigo has completed the challenge of the Eight Dao Gyms and has been recognized by all the top gyms in the Fengyuan region. His goal is to win the Caiyou Tournament!"

······
Two days passed in a flash.

In the past two days, Yuzuo, who had reached a consensus on cooperation with Lai, personally took action and brought all the out-of-school teenagers from Tianshui Island in the surrounding islands back to Tianshui Island. Together with the local students who had completed the registration, they collected enough The first batch of students to start school.

The first batch of students in the newly built Tianshui Island Trainer School totaled 135 people.

Compared with the schools on Pal Island and Haiyuan Island, the number of students is still not large, but it is already a good start.

······
The first opening ceremony of Tianshui Island Trainer School is a rare event for Tianshui Town, where life is bleak.

Even the overcast sky could not dampen people's enthusiasm. Hundreds of townspeople gathered around the school to celebrate the reconstruction of the school that once held their hopes.

Standing on the small makeshift rostrum, the town elder, weighed down by the burden of the past seven years, burst into tears and couldn't help himself.

"Open the school gate and let the neighbors come in and take a look. Starting from today, the children of Tianshui Island can go to school again. Those students who have not come here yet, I believe they will come to school one day."

Standing quietly next to the mayor, Lai asked Merck to lead someone to open the school gate.

"Squeak-"

As the metal gate opened, the townspeople who had been waiting for a long time filed in. Instead of looking around, they concentrated on walking towards the podium where the mayor and Lai were sitting.Thousands of students, parents, and ordinary townspeople stood densely on the school playground. At first, there was a lot of discussion, then gradually died down, and finally became quiet, waiting for the mayor and Lai to speak.

Standing in front of the microphone, the mayor recalled the bitter past of the town and everything that this school had once carried, which aroused a wave of resonance from below.Then, the conversation changed and he told the story of Qilai preparing to build a school and looking for students. The story of a foreigner running for Tianshui Island moved people.

Amidst the prolonged applause, the mayor gave up his seat and left the time to speak to Lai, who was today's protagonist.

Len stepped forward and looked around.

Zhouzhu's mother and son, dressed simply, stood in the front row, flanked by two classmates he had just met today.

A plump old man in formal clothes appeared in the corner of the crowd, his brows furrowed, as if he was having a fierce ideological struggle. He was still holding a book in his hand that didn't look new. He unconsciously used force to read it. The pages are slightly folded.

The young gangster named Sato, who had shaved his head as a student, was standing at the front in an orderly manner, next to his former companions and current classmates.

Yuzuo, who had never met him before, took off his windbreaker to look cool and stood in the crowd with a few cadres. The surrounding townspeople were accustomed to this and did not reject it at all.

In the distance, accompanied by the exclamations of the crowd, a sturdy old man strode forward with several crew members. The first mate Liangguang trotted all the way to the rostrum and explained the situation to the mayor.

Around him, countless people's eyes were focused on Lai. He collected his thoughts and began the speech he had been thinking about for a long time:
“Hello, classmates, parents, and guests.

I am the new principal of Tianshui Island Trainer School, Lai.

I am very lucky to be able to join you today to commemorate the reopening of the school that has been closed for seven years and to welcome new students to this campus after many years.

Frankly speaking, this process has not been smooth. Many people have put in a lot of effort and some have been under tremendous pressure. But fortunately, after overcoming all difficulties, we are still standing here together.

Starting tomorrow, our teaching can really resume.

Someone once asked me why I came here, spent a lot of money, and did such a thankless thing.I believe this is also a question many people have.

But in fact, this issue is not that complicated, because I heard what my friends and students said, because I saw injustices here that make people feel bitter, and because I feel that this should not be like this, so I am here.

Some people would say that whether it is Tianshui Island or the Nanhai Islands, the poverty and hardship experienced in the past few years cannot be reversed by a single school.I do not deny this, because no individual can reverse the trend of society.

However, if one person doesn’t work, what about ten, hundreds, or thousands?When those who try to do something become the main body of society, change for the better becomes a matter of time.To get to this point, in my opinion, it is inseparable from education and learning.

Over the past few years, the originally high-spirited Tianshui Island and Nanhai Islands have gradually become a haven for pirates and a paradise for criminals. There are various reasons for this, and the most important direct reason is that there is no hope.

So what we have to do is simple, get it back.With it, we have the ability to face all the sufferings in front of us and overcome all the obstacles in front of us.

Perhaps, after our students walk out from here, they still can't find their own path, and even become pirates and criminals in confusion;
Perhaps, after trying hard, our schools still haven’t been able to really reverse all this, and have even encountered difficulties due to various problems;
Perhaps, after searching in many ways, our society still cannot find a way to solve the problem. Not only has it failed to improve, but it has continued to decline.

Even so, we still have to keep going.

Because, as long as we stand together, we always have the ability to keep difficulties out of sight.

Because as long as we work together, we can always find a better path than the current one.

Because, we must at least provide an opportunity, an opportunity not to continue to slowly sink in hardship.

That's why I'm here, why I'm rebuilding this school.

Our life is not beautiful, but we have to try to find it.

like"

In the distant sky, beautiful Chinese Valentine's Day bluebirds fly from the horizon.

Behind it, a golden light penetrated the dark clouds.

"It's like, no matter how cold the winter is, every life is looking forward to the warm sunshine of spring."

Descend slowly.

The girl, whose hair was messed up by the wind, but still stunning, stood not far away.

"Today is just the beginning. I hope we can go to the other side of our dreams together."

The bright sunshine shone on her moist face and also shone deep into Lai's soul.

　At this point, the beginning of the four parts of the second volume is over, so stay tuned for the rest of the story.
