Pokémon: Hoenen Rage

Chapter 58 Parting is for a better encounter (two updates today)
Later in the evening, Lai returned home. As soon as he walked in, Huayue, who had been waiting for a long time, put his arms around his shoulders: "How is it? How was the chat? Where is Naqi?"

"Already gone, back to Wudou Town."

"Already gone?! Did you offend her?"

"No, we discussed some issues but ended up dispersing if there was no result."

"What can I say to you?" Hua Yue looked like she hated iron.

"Then don't talk, let's eat." Taking off his coat, putting down his crutches, Lai walked into the living room.

The two of them tacitly agreed not to discuss this topic again.

······
At the dinner table, while eating dinner, Huayue suddenly put down her chopsticks.

"It's just your second bowl, don't you have a bad appetite?" Haruko, who has been given a sense of accomplishment by Kagetsu's good appetite in recent days, asked in confusion.

"No, Aunt Haruko, I have something to say." Huayue rarely did not have a playful smile, but looked very serious.

"You're leaving too, right?" Lai, who was eating, guessed what Huayue was thinking without raising his head.

Huayue nodded: "Yes, it has been almost half a year since arriving in Wudou Town. I have stayed long enough and my body is feeling better. It's time to set off."

"Where are you going?"

"Go to Chenghua first, then go north, and get enough badges to go to the Caiyou Competition."

"Do you want to get the eight biggest gym badges? That's not bad. Just be careful and don't tell anyone."

"Brother, I am determined to do this. It will be impossible."

"That's good, let's eat."

"I want to eat three more big bowls today, Aunt Haruko!"

······
Early the next morning, Hanayue packed her bags and was about to go out when Lai was already standing at the door.

"You are a guest. I'll see you off."

"it is good."

We walked to the beach in silence.

······
"You still want to stay here?"

Len said nothing and raised his crutch.

"You know I'm talking about the future."

"I said, go and see with them and then come back."

"Then you will be left far behind by me."

"Good luck."

".Next August, I'll be waiting for you at the Caiyou Conference."

After saying that, without waiting for a reply, Huayue turned around and boarded the boat. ······
Back home, Lai went straight upstairs.

Just as he was about to lie down and rest, an envelope on the table caught his attention.

Opening the envelope, you can tell at a glance that the unkempt handwriting is Hanayue's handwriting.

"Brother Lai, I knew you would be waiting for me at the door, so I let the big wolf dog come up and put this letter. Don't be offended. The purpose of leaving this letter is to say something that is in my heart, especially if I am embarrassed to say it in person. .

I will not thank you for saving my life and taking me in for more than a month, because if it were me, I would do the same, so I believe the same is true for you.

I know that you have many ideas that I don't understand. I won't try to understand them because I can't understand them.But I believe that you are a smart person, and smart people have a smart way of living, which is different from me.However, sometimes I also worry, are you too smart and then tie your own hands and feet?

I can feel that you have your own ideals and know what you want to do. Although I don't know what it is, I support you.However, you yourself do not support yourself, but are afraid of your own ideals, or something else.Is it a change?
I would say that this is not necessary because you have changed a lot, especially yourself.You love your Pokémon from the bottom of your heart, and you love fighting and winning. I will not misunderstand this, no matter how you use other words to cover it up.Besides, now you no longer hide too much.

Nothing can't be changed, not you, me, or the world.Because nothing must come or must not come.I hope that one day, you can truly break the lock in your heart. I believe that one day, we will have a better encounter.

Today, we officially parted ways. Although we have only been together for more than two months, I am indeed very happy.From now on, I will go to the place you often talk about, take a walk, take a look, and set up an outpost for you, just like we did in the previous battles.

Breaking up is not a bitter thing, because I believe that it is for the greater happiness of meeting in the future. I look forward to the stronger you who are more worthy of our trust and reliance.

It doesn't matter whether you attend the Aiyu Conference or not, but I want to see you in my imagination.

Your friend, Kazuki"

"This Hua Yue, just leave and keep doing this."

With that said, Lai folded the letter, put it in the envelope, and put it away in the drawer.

Lie down on the bed, with your back facing out, motionless.

······
Kagetsu's departure brings the non-daily life back to the normal track. As time passes, a group of children led by Tomohisa are about to graduate and become "adults" in the social sense of the island. Rai can finally throw away his crutches and walk freely.

The cram school every afternoon is becoming more and more popular, and many children who have not yet entered school are willing to come here to listen to Lai telling stories and knowledge.During this period of time, Lai compiled the knowledge he narrated and his own experience into a book after attending classes every day, and learned from the textbooks in the town to make up for his shortcomings. Three books: "Human Geography of the Continent" and "Indiscriminate Combat and Defense Techniques in the Wilderness".

Compared with the Pokémon world textbooks that basically have no content, although these three books are still only the first edition of the booklet, they are detailed and knowledgeable. They have been well received by Saza and the school teachers, and they are decided to be used as teaching materials for the town in the future. a part of.

During this period, the alliance's subsequent rewards and battlefield dividends were also received one after another. In addition to the 100 million bonus, Lai's dividend was as high as 130 million.For this money, Lai had already planned to save it for the time being.In addition, Rai noticed that the rewards included five more dragon gems and a skill disc for Meteor Swarm.

It must have been fought for by Mr. Genji, or he may have even made some supplements out of his own pocket. I must thank you in person if I have the opportunity in the future.Lai thought so.

The training of the three partners was also carried out in an orderly manner. Although Lai, an injured person, could not accompany them throughout the whole process, he made a scientific plan.

Now, the hidden wounds of the Marsh Leaping Fish have basically healed, and the body has improved further on the original basis. It really has become a reinforced iron frame, and its size has grown again, which is one or two points larger than the ordinary giant marsh monster.

The Big-billed Gull has adapted to its new body. Under the influence of Lugia's energy, its mastery of airflow and water flow has made great progress.

Niannianbao has also improved, but apart from training every day, he still spends more than half of his time playing coquettishly on Lai's head and shoulders.Although there is almost no change in the energy level, with only the Swampleap Fish rising slightly by one level, the overall look of the team is quite different from before.

On ordinary days, Lai would always think of the time he spent with Huayue and Naqi, their chatting, laughing, communicating and arguing, especially the two days apart.

Hanazuki, whose handwriting is crooked but full of sincerity, and Naqi, who stands on the Chinese Valentine's Day bluebird and says goodbye sideways but can't hide the faint blush on her cheeks, the two friends appear in Lai's mind with increasing frequency.

On this day, Saza, who had been busy with school expansion since the supplies arrived in Zijin City, came to the door for the first time in a long time. He went straight to the topic without even taking a sip of tea: "Lai, the treasure you mentioned before, Grandpa Saza will be with you these two days. Let’s take a walk, right?”
