I Really Don’t Want To Be a Trainer

Sunday, June 27th.

Teacher Lu decided to set off for the Battle Castle on Route 7 and find a place to camp.

The clear stream gurgles and the water surface sparkles.

Lu Ye rolled up his trouser legs, picked up a pebble on the river bank, and threw it out with narrowed eyes, causing layers of water to float.

"Chajiduyi~*(*)*"

Togepi stood by the river, eyes wide open, with an incredible look on his face.

Lu Ye smiled and said, "You can also give it a try."

Youkiras nodded seriously with a sullen face, then plunged into the water, his cheeks bulging when he raised his head.

"Hey! (￣～￣)"

Lu Ye: "...You couldn't have eaten the pebbles, right?"

The weather is cool and the breeze ruffles the water.

"Buyi!o(^｀)o"

Fairy Ibrahimovic held his head proudly, his pink ears swaying, and the bow on his neck straightened out, disdainful of this child's trick.

The wind speed dog ran happily by the river, its mane was wet, and the hair shone in the sun: "Ouch!"

The water arrow turtle retreated into its shell and lay on a mid-stream bluestone, indifferent to the world.

"Kou Jie~" Gengar took out a simple tent from his pocket.

The "shadow clones" were separated, and four or five fat purple guys built a tent together to prepare for camping.

After a while.

Look at the purple tent shaped like "Gengar opens his mouth".

"Kou Jie~"

Gengar bared his teeth in a smile, put his hands on his hips and nodded, and the "shadow clone" turned into white smoke and dissipated with a 'bang'.

"The efficiency is very fast." Lu Ye praised and rubbed Gengar's head.

The latter narrowed his eyes happily and stretched out his long tongue to 'suck' the side of Teacher Lu's face.

Lu Ye shouted with his tongue numb: "Duck, there are wild cherry fruits on the shore, pick them for me!"

"Gah!"

The green onion soldier stretched out his long green onions and fiddled with the fruit trees on the bank, and a white butterfly chrysalis fell out with a rustling sound.

"Miwu~" The white butterfly chrysalis narrowed its eyes in fear, and the Rotom illustrated book, which was called by the Onion Rangers, hugged back to the treetop.

"Gah~~"

Cong Youbing's "V" eyebrows stretched out, he looked at the white butterfly chrysalis, and nodded happily.

Protecting the weak is also an act of knighthood.

After filling the inside of the shield with tree fruits, Cong Youbing returned to the camp. By this time, Teacher Lu's "paralysis" state had healed itself with his body.

"It looks like we can have a good meal at noon." Lu Ye said, staring at Cong Youbing and the fruit in his arms.

Onion Youbing shivered in fright, and the fruit rolled to the ground.

"Gah! ()σ"

Don't eat duck, duck, duck is not delicious at all~

The simple stove made of stones made a small crackling sound from the firewood.

The pot and grill also come with it, and are placed in Gengar’s ‘storage space’, which has ample capacity.

Teacher Lu cooks Galar’s ​​special curry rice, which is made from coarsely minced meat sausage and spicy cherry berries.

Stirring the cauldron with rising white mist and fragrance, Lu Ye said casually:

"Do you know what is the most important point in increasing the rating of curry rice?"

"Jie?" Gengar scratched his head.

“It’s about adding a lot of love.”

Saying that, add a little juice of [Golden Cranberry].

Lu Ye poured the fragrant and mellow soup on the curry rice with a golden color, and placed the black pepper sausage that was sizzling and grilled. It was like making a "Golden Legend" level dish, and it was so delicious. Lower apron.

"Charizard level, spicy sausage curry rice, please use it!"

The little ones exclaimed in unison.

The water arrow turtle barely restrained his appetite, pushed up his sunglasses, stared at the curry rice, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"Kah..."

I tested it with a waveguide... there are no toxins in it!

In the camp, the little guys were busy making rice. Gengar raised his head and poured the curry rice into his mouth.

"Koujie~(￣~￣)"

Lu Ye glanced at Gengar, scooped up a spoonful of steaming curry rice, and murmured:

"The ghost type is not afraid of being burned, and this ability is too practical..."

The sun was tilted and it was nearly noon.

Lu Ye lay in the open mouth of the "Gengar Tent" and looked down at the gold-plated invitation in his hand.

[Golden invitation letter: An invitation letter is provided by a member of the Hall of Fame. The invitee will be awarded the title of "Count/Countess" of the battle castle and can make an appointment to advance to the challenge. 】

Stare at the invitation.

In Lu Ye's mind, the image of Sirona handing it to him with a smile appeared——

Sirona crossed her chest with one hand, stretched out her fingers and said:

"Considering that there are many new trainers with the "Baron" title in the battle castle, it would be too bullying for you to start from scratch. "

Lu Ye: "It doesn't matter if you are new or not, I mainly want to start from scratch!"

Sirona rolled her eyes and continued: ""So, I asked Karuna for the highest-level invitation letter, and I can make an appointment for the "Marquis" promotion challenge on Sunday. "

The Battle Castle is the battle facility of the sixth generation Carlos.

The adoption of the "Gonghou Bozinan" title system aims to promote traditional duel-like battles that emphasize etiquette.

In the Carlos region, this castle is famous. The owner of the hall, the Four Heavenly Kings, and even the champion Karuna were all guests.

Karuna also holds the unique title "Grand Duchess" and is one of the Hall of Fame members of this battle castle.

"Then have you ever challenged a battle castle?" Lu Ye asked.

"I have participated." Sirona shrugged and said, "However, I don't come to the Kalos region often. I mostly participate in the Sinnoh Champions League."

Lu Ye nodded.

No wonder Daye, A Liu and others are so afraid of Sirona.

It must be because he was bitten by the land shark too many times in the Champions League.

"For each title, you can receive the rewards of the corresponding title, that is, rewards."

Sirona frowned slightly and said: "As for the Mega Stone you mentioned, I'm afraid it requires at least the title of "Duke". "

"What level of trainer is the Duke...probably?"

"Carlos' steel-type king, Mr. Yan Kai, is the "Duke". You can refer to it. "

Hearing this, Lu Ye roughly understood.

Yan Kai is a trainer full of chivalrous spirit. He wears heavy medieval armor on weekdays and is keen on upright duels.

Strong men like Chi and Shiba who fight passionately fit the criteria of Yan Kai.

As for an old yin like me (cross out)... fighting against the party, I'm afraid it will arouse his desire to fight twice.

"Obviously Holy Light is the dirtiest." Lu Zhi said.

The memories come to an end here.

Sirona has returned to Hezhong's Ripple Town villa and is preparing to participate in the World Championship Youth Cup with Lu Ye at the beginning of the month.

Lu Ye was lying in the tent, resting his arms on his pillow, using the 'Gengar Tongue' in the tent as a blanket.

When the sun shines in, you can hear the gurgling of the stream and the chirping of the little finches.

Lu Zhi suddenly made a move, stood up and walked out of the tent, pulled out the retractable [Super Fishing Rod], and walked towards the river.

"I will never be in the air force today!"

Teacher Lu is fishing——

The super powerful wild Magikarp jumped out!

Lu Ye cursed and said: "If you haven't evolved into Gyarados at level 40, you will be sitting in a small pond as the Carp King!"

The sturdy Carp King glanced sideways at Lu Ye, splashed in the water and flapped his tail, broke away from the fishing hook, and dived back to the bottom of the river without giving up any dignity.

Lu Ye: "..."

Looking around, Lu Ye caught a water plant named [Waterside Herb], nodded with satisfaction and said:

"This thing can be used as spice... Today is another fruitful day!"

**

Fairy Ibrahimovic stretches his forelimbs lazily, with an elegant and cute posture, located at the golden section in the foreground. Depth of field is fruit-laden bushes, gleaming rivers.

Click!

The camera's flash lights up.

Fairy Ibrahimovic's eyes suddenly froze, he bared his little tiger fangs, gathered dark and violent shadow balls in his bow, and was ready to fight.

"Bu Yi! (`Pan)"

Lu Ye heard the sound and went away, stunned for a moment.

Did Xiao Luo make Fairy Eevee angry?

No...this is not Rotom's camera.

Seeing someone walking out, Lu Ye shouted:

"Wait a minute, Fairy Eevee!"

The shadow ball at the bow gradually dissipated.

The woman holding the SLR breathed a sigh of relief.

She is about 24 years old, has short and medium-length silver-gray hair, and wears lightweight short-sleeves and overalls. In addition to a handheld SLR, there is also a digital camera hanging on his waist.

"Sorry... found a wonderful composition and took a photo without permission."

The visitor introduced himself:

"I don't mean any harm. I'm the leader of the White Sandalwood Gym, Violet. I can show you the photos I just took. It doesn't matter if you delete them!"

"White Tan Gym?"

"That's right." Violet held a SLR in both hands and said with a smile, "I am an insect trainer and also a photographer."

Lu Ye nodded, indeed he had some impression.

Carlos's insect master, Violet. As a side job, he is a professional photographer and holds photography exhibitions. Straightforward and cheerful personality.

"She must be very good at playing Pokémon." Lu Zhi said.

"Kou Jie~" Geng Gui stood beside Lu Ye.

"This Gengar is well bred, very good! Can you look at the camera?" Violet half-squinted her eyes and picked up the camera.

"Koujie~(ω\u003c)☆" Gengar gestured scissor hands next to his eyes.

"So cute~"

Violet was like a professional photographer who discovered precious materials, constantly pressing the shutter and observing other Pokémon with the lens.

"There is also the handsome Onion Ranger, and Carlos's very rare Togepi~"

"Wait a minute, this lineup configuration."

Violet slowly put down the camera, looked at Lu Ye, and said cautiously: "Are you Teacher Lu?"

Lu Ye: "Is my Pokémon more famous than me?"

Violet smiled and said: "Sorry... I was just observing the Pokémon. Your Pokémon is so photogenic."

"And..." Violet looked at Lu Ye and said appreciatively: "You are also a very good model!"

"Thank you." Lu Ye nodded politely and asked curiously: "Can you show me the photo you just took?"

Violet said happily: "Of course."

She unfolded the SLR screen, pointed at the photos on the screen, and said:

"This close-up of Gengar has a large aperture and a very vivid expression; this shot of Fairy Eevee has a landscape bonus and can even be included in a photography exhibition..."

Zi Luo Lan observed Lu Ye's expression and said:

"If you are not happy, I can delete it now without backing up or restoring it."

Capturing photos is a necessary skill for photographers, but how to communicate with the people being captured is also a skill.

"Buyi..." Fairy Ibrahimovic came over and stared at the bright photo, his blue eyes flickering.

Although the little guy is a bit violent, he still loves beauty.

Lu Ye smiled and said, "There is no need to delete them. Can you give me a copy of these photos?"

Violet said: "Of course, I will pass it on to you now...and then the photo will be framed and sent to you."

Xiao Luo received the transferred photos and muttered:

"What I took is not much different, Lotto~"

After the episode, Lu Ye learned——

Violet came to the river to collect news, and also participated in the "Marquis" promotion match against the castle.

After hearing about Teacher Lu's itinerary, Violet pursed her lips and said:

"In other words... I am likely to be matched with you?"

Lu Ye said: "Don't worry, I only use Young Kilas...probably."

"Hey! (▼へ▼メ)" Youkilas nodded seriously.

Violet glanced at the aggressive Youkiras with mixed emotions.

I abstain now...is it still too late?

"After you leave the Battle Castle, will you go to the White Sandalwood Gym to challenge?" Violet asked tentatively.

That urban legend circulating among gym leaders——

Not only Kanto and Sinnoh...even the Gym Leaders of Kalos have heard about it!

Rather than being beaten up by Pokémon, it would be more refreshing to just give the badge away.

That's exactly what Violet was thinking.

"Won't."

Lu Ye paused, looked at Violet warily, and said, "You don't have to take out the badge and give it directly to me or Gengar."

Violet nodded understandingly.

It's probably because Teacher Lu didn't take his badge box with him, or he was worried about losing it.

"Then just wait until the photo frame is delivered and give the badge to Teacher Lu." Violet thought to herself.

**

Since they were on the way and Violet was familiar with Battle Castle, she acted as the guide.

Walking on the high ground where miscanthus swayed, Violet picked up her SLR and photographed the mount lamb munching on the grass at the bottom of the wilderness. She smiled and said:

"These mount lambs are Carlos' representative Pokémon."

Lu Ye stared at the cute little goat.

The growth of Rocket Logistics...is indispensable without your contribution.

Groups of pastel discs of different colors fly by in the wind, showing colorful colors.

Violet took the picture and said, "You may not believe it, but Teacher Lu, I have conquered all 20 kinds of pink butterflies with different patterns!"

No wonder Violet can be called an insect expert.

Lu Ye thought of 63 different kinds of frost milk fairies and said:

"Have you considered conquering all the cream fairies and becoming a dessert expert?"

Violet: "Eh?"

While chatting, a majestic white stone castle, standing among the green manor, appeared in front of us.

Since today is the knighthood promotion competition, many spectators, challengers and even gym owners came.

Lu Ye was in a mixed mood and kept an eye on the task progress in the system.

【Badge Collection: (1/8)】

To me...this battle castle is full of dangers!

Walk through the garden in front of the castle, the manor fountain, and the red carpet of marble floor tiles to arrive at the main entrance of the castle.

The elderly butler wearing a monocle bowed politely, put his hand on his chest and said:

"Count Violet, it is an honor to serve you."

"Mr. Yikong, long time no see." Violet smiled slightly, "I'm back to participate in today's ranking match against the castle."

"Understood." The butler said respectfully: "I will arrange a suitable opponent for you. The gentleman behind you is..."

"Ah, Teacher Lu, is this your first time in Battle Castle?" Violet turned around and asked.

Lu Ye nodded.

The butler politely said: "In that case... Sir, do you need me to arrange a debut match for you? If you win the debut match, you will be awarded the title of "Baron" and you can challenge higher-ranking trainers. "

Lu Ye handed the gold invitation letter to the butler and said: "If possible, I would like to know about the rewards of Mega Stone."

"certainly."

The butler showed a perfect surprise. After reviewing the invitation, he smiled and said:

"Earl Luye, Count Violet, please come with me to the hall and wait for a moment."

Under the leadership of the housekeeper, the two walked towards the side hall, and Violet whispered:

"Teacher Lu, do you plan to be randomly matched or challenge by name?"

"What's the meaning?"

"Random matching is where Mr. Yi Kong arranges challengers of the same title for you. Named challenges are similar to medieval duels. Most of the challenged will not refuse the challenge, but the challenger will also risk being demoted."

Violet said: "If you want to obtain the Mega Stone...I'm afraid you need a further title."

Lu Ye nodded.

From earl to marquis and duke. It seems that you need to win at least two or three games.

The lobby is a room where trainers exchange information and select challengers for the same title.

"Then, I'll excuse you for a moment. I'll inform you of the details of exchanging Mega Stones later," the steward said.

Lu Ye nodded and said, "It's troublesome."

The decoration of the hall is luxurious and restrained, with marble columns standing in the room and the faint sound of cello floating in the room.

When Lu Ye and Zi Luo Lan entered the hall, their eyes converged, and some trainers were slightly startled.

"Teacher Lu?"

"Oops... I shouldn't have chosen today to challenge."

"There's nothing you can do...if you get a match, just go for it."

The trainers present wisely did not ask Luye for a battle.

Lu Ye looked around at the interior furnishings and was startled when he noticed a man climbing up a marble column unexpectedly.

Climb, climb marble pillars? !

Lu Ye took a closer look.

It was a man with dark skin and strong muscles. He grabbed the upper edge of the marble column with one arm, used his strength to swing it, and climbed to the beam of the hall.

Others turned a blind eye and continued to talk to themselves.

"That's the rock gym leader, Chucklo."

Violet held her forehead and said helplessly: "He is a man who will start rock climbing no matter where he is."

Lu Ye: "Anytime and anywhere?"

Violet said helplessly: "It is said that he can also do gym challenges while climbing rocks."

Lu Ye: "..."

The Shimada family definitely needs talents like you!

The sound of ‘wheel skating’——

There are actually people roller skating indoors.

A girl with a yellow ponytail, wearing roller skating protective gear, drove over happily and waved:

"Master, long time no see!!"

Lu Ye came back to his senses and smiled:

"Long time no see, Korni."
