Pokémon: The Zen Trainer

"I'm going to confess my feelings today!"

"Well done, Nakano!"

"Go, Nakano!!"

Bian Xiang looked at Nakano and asked calmly.

Before you confess your feelings, let me ask you one question.

"Besides greeting, is there anything else you do?"

Nakano shook his head, "It's just a daily greeting."

"I'm hesitant about the others."

"Oh, right, once I helped her pick up her eraser, and she thanked me."

*Slap!* She covered her face with her hand.

They're doomed. They're charging in without any emotional connection whatsoever.

"What's wrong? Are you thinking about your senior? Is there a problem?"

Nakano looked at Bian Xiang and asked cautiously.

Bian Xiang looked at the shy boy in front of her and thought for a moment.

He took out a piece of paper and started writing.

"If you want to become a monk, you can contact this number. We offer a one-stop service."

"Ok??"

Nakano took the note blankly, looked up at it, and pondered.

"This is?"

"Take it; you'll need it sooner or later."

You'll always find a use for this after a failed confession.

He looked at Nakano with pity.

Although he had never been in a relationship, this conclusion was drawn from his limited experience watching television.

Confessing one's feelings usually happens naturally after a long period of getting to know each other and when the feelings between the two people have reached a certain level.

As for Nakano's situation, all I can say is that this is what youth is all about.

Nakano carefully accepted the note in his hand.

"Thank you for your blessings, Senior Bian. I will work hard."

Looking into Nakano's eyes, Bian Xiang felt a pang of pity.

A young man charged forward for love.

.....

Indoor arena.

He wanted to sit on the podium.

Watching the performance of the three brothers.

"You need to make this expression then."

"The movements should be like this!"

"This is the suit I secretly took from my dad. Put it on!"

He watched as the boy from Nakano, under the guidance of his three older brothers, put on a suit that was a head longer than his own.

She was holding a large bunch of jasmine flowers that she had picked from the flower bed.

Look at Nakano's stiff expression.

Finally he couldn't bear it anymore.

"Ghost! Hypnosis!"

"Chie!"

With three muffled thuds, the three brothers lay on the ground and fell peacefully asleep.

Finally, the world became quiet.

"Thinking about my senior?"

Bian Xiang looked at Nakano and said, "Change back into your old clothes and throw this bunch of flowers away."

"Think back to when you were in your first year of high school, studying combat theory."

What should you do when you encounter an opponent?

"Look the other person straight in the eye; you absolutely cannot lose in terms of presence!"

Nakano straightened up instinctively, and the timid look in his eyes vanished without a trace.

In its place is a resolute gaze!

"Yes, that's the look in your eyes!"

"Show the same fighting spirit you have when facing your opponent!"

"Then confess! Give it your all!!"

"Is this okay? I'm thinking about my senior."

"That's perfect! Love is like a battle between spirits!"

"Put all your passion and your spirit—oh, no, I mean, wholeheartedly communicate your feelings to the person you like!"

"Let the person you like know how you feel!"

"And then you gain victory—no, love!"

Nakano took off his suit jacket, put on his previous clothes, and looked at Bian with a determined gaze.

"that's it?"

"that's all!"

He nodded in agreement.

Young man, I can't give you love, but I can make you die like a trainer on your way to love!

He dragged his three brothers away from the center of the arena, to the side, and then covered them with a red cloth.

The three of you just stay here and get a good night's sleep!

Bian Xiang sat down in the audience section.

There are ten minutes left until the agreed time!

"I'm a little nervous thinking about my senior!"

Nakano looked up and thought to himself.

"It's normal to be nervous. This is how it is for the first Pokémon battle—no, the first confession! Put your heart and soul into it, and imagine the lessons your teacher taught you when you were learning Pokémon battle theory! Treat her as your opponent! Bring your fighting spirit to her!"

"Stand up straight, show your spirit, and give it your all in a life-or-death clash with your opponent!"

"Go, Nakano!"

"Show your spirit!"

"Yes! Senior Bian Xiang!"

Nakano raised his head high and looked calmly at the gate of the arena.

Click, the door was slowly pushed open.

A girl walked in quietly.

"Nakano?"

Upon seeing Nakano in the center of the arena, he asked incredulously.

Hearing the voice of the girl he liked, Nakano instinctively lowered his head again, remembering Bian Xiang's words: "The first lesson in combat etiquette: Look your opponent in the eye! Shout your name out loud!"

"That's right, it's me! Nakano!!"

Maaya looked at Nakano, who seemed completely different from before. Standing in front of him, Maaya even subconsciously took a few steps back. He was so imposing today.

"You asked me to come here? What for?"

"That's right!"

Combat etiquette lesson two: Look your opponent in the eye, then issue a challenge!

"What a gift!"

Nakano stared straight at Maaya.

"I like you!"

Nakano's voice even echoed back and forth in the arena.
