Pokémon: Hoenen Rage

Chapter 26 "Teacher Lai" and Education and Intergenerational Transmission ([-]rd update today)
Rai's words pulled Sazar into his own memories.At that time, Pal Island was also a small island that relied on fishing for a living. There were only a few hundred residents, and poverty was the only characteristic here.Along the way, schools, hospitals, and roads were gradually built, and fruit and deep-sea collection enriched people's means of livelihood.What's more important is that people with nowhere to go from all regions came here.

It is not difficult to tell from the names that the Merck family comes from the Sinnoh region, Rai and Ope have typical Kalos region colors, and there are also people from Kanto and Chengdu. In the former youth trainer, now the old town Under the leadership of Chang Sazar, a large number of marginal people were eventually mixed here, and they were allowed to grow up, stay or go out, until this small pastoral paradise was created.

After that, more than ten years of dull and satisfying days passed. Although the ideal was not realized, the reality still satisfied Saza, and he gradually stopped his pursuit.The disaster seven years ago, due to the strong strength of him and the escort team, did not cause much damage to Pal Island, which made him believe in his success.Today, Lai's words made him realize again that development cannot stop, and it cannot stop from the beginning, because the world does not stop.

Saza stood up and looked at Lai, who stood quietly waiting for his decision after speaking. He smiled so much that the corners of his eyebrows stretched slightly, and his narrowed eyes were almost invisible.After a moment, the smile subsided and his eyes opened. The light flashing across his eyes seemed to be that high-spirited young man again.

"Seeing these children who have no education and can only be mixed among the dregs of the sea, I am more deeply aware that the inequality of education is so huge, and behind it, the social inequality is so huge. As Marginal people can't make a sound, no one cares about them, they can only quietly fall and rot in the corner of the world, but if we can pull in and exert our strength, we can create a place where the abandoned Wouldn't it be a great honor to be able to talk and learn from people who are despised? Besides, for us, this is labor and a potential future without much cost. Just imagine, our Paar Island, isn't it also Do people from all regions gather here?”

"Yugo, sometimes I always feel that I am old, but today, I realized that I am not yet."

"You are going to set off tomorrow. The rest of the guards will be under my command. I will find Wudou Town and Kaina City Alliance, screen out those who are reliable, and leave them in the town. A large area of ​​open space remains to be reclaimed. If we can support them, there will be more or less students in the school, and it will still be teaching! This kid Lai is right, since we can, let’s give these children a chance to choose.”

The mayor made a decision, Yugito and Rai nodded in agreement, and the topic was dismissed.After picking up the teacup and taking a sip, Saza revealed the true purpose of his trip: "Yongren, Lai, tomorrow you and Merck are going to Wudou Town. Fighting is not as good as suppressing bandits, so you should be careful in everything. Zijin's owner Tie Xuan has been a friend of mine for many years, and I have already contacted him. If you join his team, you should be safe."

After explaining, he looked at Lai, his eyes full of respect and care for the younger generation: "In addition, Lai, the alliance gave you a batch of supplies, mysterious water drops and water gems. These are good props, but they can not only be used in battle Use it in daily training, and you can also absorb the energy for your own use in daily training. It is extremely important for the cultivation of water-type Pokémon. The reason why Liuli's gym is powerful is because these trainers with the inheritance of the people of the sea can obtain a large amount of water-type Pokémon. This type of resource is used for training. Although there is no such resource in the town that can be directly provided to you, but if you are really promising, I can personally help you find something. Be careful when you go out this time. Don't be brave when things happen to you, your father was just as good back then, don't make the same mistake again."

For Saza's concern, Lai also felt warm in his heart, and nodded vigorously: "Okay, thank you, Mayor Saza!"

"If I can, I still like you and other children, or call me Grandpa Saza like you did when you were young."

After speaking, he laughed, and Saza returned to the appearance when he came back, turned around, waved his hand as a signal, and walked home.

The problem was solved and Lai didn't stay long. After a brief exchange of information about tomorrow's departure, he said goodbye and left.

Before leaving, he pulled Zhijiu at the door and asked him to tell Wright the news when he went to school.

Zhijiu agreed wholeheartedly, completely forgetting about Lai slapping him on the head, and returned home happily after sending Lai away.

When he walked into the living room, Yongto, who was drinking tea, suddenly thought of a detail that he had ignored in the conversation: "Tomohisa, you don't even know the attribute restraint table by heart?"

The sudden increase in volume alarmed my wife who was packing her things upstairs: "What did you say?"

Looking at the mother who came downstairs and the father who looked more and more unhappy, Zhijiu's heart sank slowly. "Brother, sell me out!"

The shrill young man's shouts faintly reached Lai's ears as he was returning home.

"There seems to be some noise, but it doesn't matter."

······
"Mom, I'm back!"

Back home, Haruko had packed the supplies needed for the trip and the things Lai had specially given to her, and placed them in the living room.Haruko herself was sitting on the sofa, obviously having something to say.

"You are so serious, is there something wrong?"

"Sit down first, I'm leaving tomorrow, let me tell you a few words."

After Lai sat down obediently, Haruko slowly spoke:
"Lai, you will be 13 years old in a few months. You are already an adult. Many people your age have even traveled for a year or two, or have gone to study independently. Therefore, many things need to be done now. It's all up to you to decide.

Therefore, mom is not going to stop you this time. However, the injury in the past few days is really worrying, and it is even more so this time.My mother has seen what kind of desperadoes pirates are, and you have seen it this time. When fighting them, you must put self-preservation first. Credits and other such things are not important at all. Although the family does not have much money, but in giving After you bought Shuiyueyu and the membership of the alliance, you have saved some money in the past two years, which is enough to support you to continue studying or traveling. As long as you can return home safely, it is better than any reward you can get. "

Listening to his mother's words, Lai nodded solemnly, and just as he was about to speak, the Pokeball of the Swampleapfish opened on its own, and the Swampleapfish jumped out of it. He stood beside Lai and patted his chest with his right hand, indicating that there would be no problem as long as he was there. .After a beat, the long-winged gull also flew out of the elf ball, landed on top of Lai's head, and raised its wings high.

Seeing this scene, Haruko's brows also relaxed, and without further words, she turned and walked into the kitchen.

······
Early the next morning, the escort ship set off from the small harbor and sailed to Martial Town.

At this moment, outside the town, in a temporary refugee camp, a well-dressed old man in his sixties led several escorts. A young escort held a loudspeaker in his hand and spoke to these temporary "residents" He shouted: "Those who are willing to stay on Pal Island can queue up at the resettlement site to register, verify their identity, and confirm that they have no criminal record before they can stay and live in the south of the town."

In the school, several teachers also found Wright, Jerry and their companions with the information sheets they had just distributed.
