Pokémon League Chronicles/Farming, Pokémon Trainer!

Shi Yi did not move, his eyes were fixed on Mingyao: "Before I answer you, I have a question to ask you first. Can you answer me?"

Mingyao said noncommittally, "It depends on what question you ask me."

Shi Yi was silent for a moment: "If I said that I would rather go to jail or even die than join your organization... what would you do?"

Chapter 161 It’s not easy for grassroots cadres

Hearing Shi Ye's question, Mingyao suddenly felt a little funny.

He suddenly remembered that just today during the day (yesterday to be precise), when he was forced to run away suddenly due to Listia's violent words, Joey also asked him the exact same question.

What would you do if I said no?

Mingyao suddenly crossed his right leg over his left leg and grinned: "What else can I do? If you don't want to, then all I can do is...

Come on, please help me. "

"……Eh?"

Shi Er was stunned. He had never expected that he would hear words like "please" that were obviously submissive from the powerful young man in front of him.

"Otherwise? What else can I do? Arrange for the Thorny Ball Cactus and the Mother Monster to attack you and use violence to force you to compromise?" Mingyao shrugged: "That would be meaningless. What I need is someone who can do his best. A capable person who tries his best to serve me, not a time bomb that may explode at any time."

"No, that's not what I meant..." Shi Er was speechless: "I just didn't expect that you would actually say such low-profile words as "please"."

"Then what do you want me to do? Talk to you condescendingly like a winner?"

Shi Yi didn't speak, but he nodded slightly.

In his perception, Mingyao is the winner, the strong one, and the dominant party with the absolute initiative. There is no reason to speak to him in a condescending tone.

In his memory, the only one with a similar position to Mingyao was Ashun.But whether Ah Shun is treating the gym disciples or the villagers in the villages around the Pokémon gym, although his attitude is not bad, he is always the stronger one.

Mingyao glanced at him and suddenly became happy: "If that works, I don't mind putting on airs.

But the problem is, putting on airs is useless! "

As he spoke, Mingyao almost forced Shi He to sit down on the stone. He took a more comfortable posture and slowly said:

"Do you know? In the past six months, the thing I have done most in Zhuqing Village is not to train myself or Pokémon, but to clean the toilet."

"...Toilet?" Shi Er was obviously stunned again - mainly because he didn't know what a toilet was. If he knew, his reaction would definitely be more than just "stunned".

"A metaphor, to put it simply, is to help people in Zhuqing Village with various chores." Mingyao explained: "Because I am trying to figure out how to implement a project called "Pokémon Farming" in the village... Well, that's also This will be the main work content of the Pokémon League in the future.

There were a lot of things that didn't go well in the early days of work.Not to mention that your master who killed a thousand swords caused havoc in Zhuqing Village a few years ago, which left many villagers with a psychological shadow on Pokémon. I have been facing a lot of resistance in promoting it, even if there is If you are willing to use Pokémon City Villagers, you will inevitably have a lot of troubles in your daily life.

Some people were frightened because of the ghost's habit of wandering at night, some people made their little boxing stone wet and sick because of their daily watering habits, and two families had conflicts because of their meerkats and rice spoon snakes. Many a lot of……

And all of these need to be adjusted by me. "

Speaking of this, Mingyao suddenly showed a slightly helpless smile: "To tell you the truth, although I have only been with the Galaxy Team for less than half a year, I actually have quite a status in the village. I feel uncomfortable when I walk on the road. Few people took the initiative to greet me, and gradually they became a little proud.

But I found that if I put the airs of "powerful Pokémon trainer" or "promising team member of the Galaxy" into my life during my adjustment work, I will only arouse the resentment of the villagers. .

The villagers in Zhuqing Village are all simple and honest working people. Working people means that they rely on themselves for food, clothing, housing and transportation, and they will not look down upon you because of your noble status.Even if we usually have a good relationship as neighbors, we won't care so much when we are really angry. We will still scold you when we should scold you. If you try to act like a member of Team Galaxy to suppress them, you will only get scolded. It's getting worse and worse, making things more complicated and troublesome.

After dealing with them a lot and accumulating a lot of grassroots experience, I suddenly figured it out.

Instead of dragging out some useless things, it is better to lower your profile, communicate with them in honest, practical and easy-to-understand words, and help the villagers communicate with their Pokémon and other people, so that both the efficiency and probability of solving the problem will be improved. Much higher.

Society is not about fighting and killing. If you have the patience to communicate seriously, more than 90.00% of the problems can be solved.In this process, I am not a Pokémon trainer or a member of Team Galaxy, I am just an ordinary grassroots cadre. "

Shi Er couldn't help but said: "Then...if there are irreconcilable conflicts, what should you do?"

"Irreconcilable? Then find a way to reconcile it. It's just a village. What big irreconcilable conflicts can there be?"

Mingyao shrugged: "If someone will be frightened by the ghost, just tell the ghost to pay attention to whether the person is asleep at night before acting; watering the flowers will cause the small fist stones to get damp, then repeatedly remind the family before watering. Remember to move the small fist stone farther away; and there is no particularly good way to adjust the natural enemy relationship between the Meerkats and the Rice Spoon Snakes, so I can only let the two families live a little farther apart to avoid conflicts - I also deliberately Go and help someone move.

Even if it's you, even if you don't want to join now, then I can let you calm down for a few days, and then I'll give you some good treatment conditions. After that, I'll do ideological work for you every day. Sooner or later, you will be You have to compromise one day, right?

The strength of the Pokémon battle is very important, and the identity of the Galaxy team members is also important, but strength and identity are not everything, and they are not a universal stepping stone that can be used everywhere.People respect me not because of who I am or what I can do, but because of what I have done and what I will do in the future.

If you rely on your own strength and want to be out of touch with society and be superior to others - then what is the difference between me and Ah Shun? "

After saying that, Mingyao smiled at Shi Yi again.

"If I make the Pokémon League bigger in the future and have a group of subordinates, I might put on airs or something to make it easier to manage them.

But now, I have basically just escaped from the status of a mere commander, and I am not threatening you as a winner or a strong person, but as an equal to you, a sincere emerging entrepreneur, and I invite you very seriously. You join my team.

Now, can you tell me your answer? "

Chapter 162 Happy Women’s Day

This time, Shi Yi was silent for a particularly long time.

It wasn't until the fish belly white rose in the distance on the sea level of the ultramarine coast that he slowly spoke.

"Actually, for a defeated general, it is very irrational for you to waste your words trying to persuade me." He seemed to sigh deeply: "After staying in the gym for a long time, many disciples have developed A character who respects the strong but rejects the weak, accepts the weak and fears the strong. They respect the powerful Master Ah Shun and reject the weak disciples and themselves.

For them, if you lower your profile like this, it will only make them look down on you. "

"I know." Mingyao shrugged: "But I also know that you don't have such a personality."

"...Why are you so sure?"

"Because you are the internal affairs manager who has the power to manage the entire gym. You are the strongest and highest-status person besides Ashun and Listia. To be able to do this, you are definitely not in a state where you are only thinking about fighting evil. Yong’s Chuunibyou can be compared.”

Mingyao suddenly showed a sly smile: "At the same time, because you are the head of internal affairs, the relationship between you and Ah Shun is not just a master and apprentice, but also a colleague and superior to a certain extent.

And since he is a colleague, you probably don’t know about the many bad things he does, and his lack of ability in all aspects except Pokémon battle needs you to make up for it. In a way, you can even It can be said that he is a direct victim of his imbecility.In this way, you will have a clearer understanding of Ashun than other disciples, and you will not blindly worship him like them. "

Shi Yi seemed to be stunned for a long time, and barely managed to hold back a few words: "You have investigated the gym... more than I thought."

Mingyao laughed and said nothing.

Nonsense, I have gone to great lengths to sneak into your poor place for more than half a month, am I expecting to finally come and give you a little tug like this soon?

"...Okay, I'm half convinced by you." Shi Er sighed again, not sure whether he was relieved or unwilling.

"Half?" Mingyao raised his eyebrows: "Looking at your expression, I thought you were completely convinced."

"I personally do admire you, but the Pokémon Gym has not completely lost to you, and my work as the second disciple and internal affairs manager has not ended yet." Shi Er said noncommittally: "Wait until you completely defeat Ah Shun. Master, the Pokémon Gym has been officially disbanded so that I can join your organization."

"Okay, let's talk about the next topic." Mingyao raised his eyelids: "Where is Ah Shun?"

-

"Here it is, come on.

Hey, wait a minute, little girl, what's wrong with you?Why do you still eat noodles with your hands?Is it possible that you don’t know how to use chopsticks at all? "

Listia flattened her mouth and looked at the hot bowl of clear soup with miso noodles on the table in front of her. With a look of regret on her face, she took back her little hand that almost reached into the noodle soup. She shook her head and said, "I learned from the book." I’ve seen it online and seen the real thing, but I haven’t learned how to use it.”

Shi Yue sat opposite her, stroking a small tuft of beard near his chin, looking at Listia, and casually said: "What's so great about using chopsticks... No, then how do you usually eat? All by hand?"

"How is it possible? The book said that eating with hands is unhygienic." Listia shook her head again: "It's just that this is the first time I've seen real noodles, and I'm a little curious, so I want to pick them up. Take a closer look.”

"Then how do you usually eat?"

Lystia blinked and did not move. The bowl on the table suddenly shook, and the noodles in the bowl formed into a ball and rose out of the air, suspended in mid-air, and crackled towards the table directly below it. Soup dripped on the ground.

Listia looked at the ball of noodles carefully for a moment, seeming to be wondering how to eat it.

After half a day, she let the ball of noodles float directly above her, and she raised her head, opened her mouth to catch it, and stuffed the large ball of noodles into her mouth.

"Wopinshi⑨Shi tortures people to eat..." She puffed out her cheeks and explained vaguely to Shi He while chewing noodles with difficulty.

"...Okay, okay, just concentrate on eating." Shi Er couldn't help but sigh: "As expected, regardless of whether they have super powers or not, as long as children are not educated properly, the postures for eating noodles will be the same. Weird..."

Normally, Shi Yi wouldn't mind being the kind old man from the cafeteria next door, cheerfully correcting Listia's movements with a child-care attitude, but now, he wouldn't do that anyway.

Firstly, it was because Listia had a special status and could not be treated like an ordinary brat; secondly, right next to him and Listia, there was another person with a strong presence and aura sitting there. , someone with a stern face that is almost as hard as a steel plate.

"Listia...right?" Xingyue watched Listia barely finish the big lump of noodles, and finally said slowly: "When I heard someone knocking on my door just now, I I have been puzzled for a long time, how could someone in the village dare to come to me before dawn, but I didn’t expect it to be you."

It's early morning, and winter mornings always make people more likely to feel sleepy or stay in bed.Even though it was already dawn, it was still several hours before the time when the whole village came alive. There was no one on the street except for the three people sitting at the taro man pavilion.

"Yes, because Xiao Ming told me before he left yesterday that if he doesn't come back by the morning, let me give this to you." Listia took a sip of hot tea and wiped away the noodles remaining in her throat. Taking it down (and then couldn't help but stick out his tongue because he couldn't get used to the bitter drink), he pointed to the small note placed in front of Xingyue, and explained seriously: "He also said, if I am hungry, I can come to you...he promised me to include breakfast."

Xingyue picked up the note and looked at it again, and said casually: "What did he say at that time?"

"He told me to find that aunt with a bad face and a man's appearance." Listia is indeed a superpower, with excellent memory at a young age.

Pfft—this was the unstoppable laughter of Shi Yue, who was sitting next to him and eating peanuts.

After sincerely praying for his cheap disciple for a full 0.0000001 seconds, he looked forward to seeing what good things would happen when Mingyao came back with a look of gloating on his face.

Xingyue's brows jumped involuntarily, and after giving Shi Yue a hard look, she said helplessly: "...No, I mean, has he told you what he wants you to come to me for?"

Chapter 163

Listia tilted her head and thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "No, no more. He just asked me to give you this note, and nothing else."

"Didn't you say that after you gave me this note, you would stay with me temporarily?"

"Not at all." Listia looked puzzled: "Why should I stay with you, auntie?"

"Pfft... Auntie..." Shi Yue smiled even more unscrupulously.

Xingyue ignored Shiyue's increasingly crazier laughter and said calmly: "Because if Mingyao is away for a long time, I need to be your supervisor."

"supervisor?"

"According to the report submitted by Mingyao and Xiaozhao yesterday, you are a powerful Pokémon trainer and superpower, with considerable instability and instability, which poses a certain threat to the social security of Zhuqing Village. "

Xingyue adhered to her usual style, not softening her tone at all because Listia looked like a child in her early ten years, with a mental age that was even younger, and she was not shy about her words: "And after discussion, , in order to ensure that your power will not cause loss of personnel or property due to our loss of control, the Galaxy Team has decided to temporarily supervise your activities.

It was Mingyao who volunteered to take on this responsibility before, and he will be responsible for all your actions while you are in the village.

But now that he is not in the village, this job can theoretically only be done by me. "

If it were a normal person, Xingyue would say words like "supervision" in such a rude tone. Not to mention getting angry on the spot, at least it would be quite unpleasant.

But Listia is a very casual person. She doesn't even have much so-called "human rights awareness", and she doesn't feel Xingyue's words offend her.

She just followed Shi Yue's example and ate melon seeds, blinked her eyes, and said slightly curiously: "In that case, if you are not in the village, who should be my supervisor?"

"I will not leave Zhuqing Village easily." Xingyue shook her head: "Even if there is an emergency and I need to leave, I will only be away for half a day at most. This time is still within the error tolerance."

"But..." Listia asked: "Xiao Ming has only been away for less than half a day? Why is this not considered fault tolerance?"

Xingyue was silent, while Shiyue brought out a new plate of peanuts from the kitchen (it turned out that Listia had eaten all the plate in just three or two times), put it on the table casually, and said carelessly: "Because if we want to be certain, that kid is considered "missing" now."

"Missing?" Listia was puzzled.

Shi Yue waved her hand, took the note in front of Xing Yue and glanced at it.

There wasn't much content on that piece of paper, but Mingyao still left down the information about the Volcano Stone and the crater Pokémon in more concise words, and finally mentioned that he and Zhubei were going to the Pokémon Gym. Leave a sentence:

"If nothing unexpected happens, I will return to Zhuqing Village and report at least before seven o'clock the next morning."

Shi Yue glanced at the clock hanging on the wall of Yuman Pavilion and raised the note in his hand: "The boy said he would be back at seven o'clock at the latest, but it is almost 07:30 and there is still no one there, which means..."

"That is to say, an accident may have occurred." Xingyue said calmly: "Mingyao is a very punctual and highly mobile member of the investigation team. He will never violate the deadline without any reason after deliberately leaving a deadline.

We can only judge that an unexpected emergency occurred there, which restricted his actions. "

"Moreover, if you use your imagination a little bit and think in the worst direction, that kid has died in a place we don't know about. His death is very miserable, with pieces here and there." Shi Yue took over the conversation, chewed peanuts, and said casually in a frivolous tone.

Xingyue glanced at him: "In that case, your tone is still so relaxed?"

"Because I know that it is completely impossible." Shi Yue spread his hands: "If we insist on talking about the probability... maybe [-]%?"

"You are so confident in him?"

"It's not confidence in him, but confidence in myself."

Shi Yue hummed: "I have spent a lot of time and energy on that kid in the past six months. If he can't even do the most basic self-protection after so long, then can I still mess around?

And, if you look at the note carefully, that kid was just going to grab that thing called the Volcano Calming Stone, and he wasn’t going to fight Ah Shun and the others head-on in a life-or-death fight, even if he took that little girl from the Pearl Team with him. What's too big a risk.

If there really is an enemy strong enough to rob and kill him, then what we should do is not worry about him, but worry about ourselves and whether Zhuqing Village will be visited by that enemy.

Besides, even if he goes against time, it's not necessarily a bad thing - for example, that kid suddenly had an explosive attack and beat everyone in the entire Pokémon gym, so it's not unreasonable that he was delayed. Maybe? "

Xingyue looked at Shiyue's confident and extremely optimistic look, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

She was about to say something more, but suddenly she saw Shi Yue's eyes glanced behind her, and raised his eyebrows with a smile: "No, Cao Cao will be here as soon as Cao Cao arrives. Look, isn't that kid back now?"

Xingyue was stunned, turned and looked towards the east gate of the village, and actually saw Mingyao just walking through the gate, running towards this direction quickly.
