Chapter 645 Ideal and Reality! Teacher Lu and N’s Philosophy
Fukiyose City in the Unova region is famous for its airport. The runway covers a large area and the air cargo industry is well developed.
The city's flying-type gym master, Feng Lu, is also a pilot and rides a cargo plane.
Upon hearing that Teacher Lu was going to Shuanglong City, Feng Lu invited Teacher Lu to take her cargo plane.
But considering that Feng Lu needed to accept the gym challenge, Lu Ye chose the nearest flight, which would take him to Shuanglong City in an hour.
"Oh... I wanted to learn your command technique of "Tailwind"."
Feng Lu looked a little regretful, then smiled and said, "Next time you come to Chuiji City as a guest, why not try ringing the bell at the Tower of Heaven, Teacher Lu!"
Lu Ye and Geng Gui looked at the towering spire in the distance at the same time. The stone tower rose in a spiral, ancient and solemn.
"Is it a tomb tower similar to the Songshen Mountain?" Lu Ye asked.
Fenglu nodded and said with her hands behind her back, "The Tower of Heaven is where the deceased Pokémon rest in peace. The bell on the top of the tower is specially hung there to purify the soul. It is said that ringing the bell on the top of the tower can reflect the heart of the person who rings it."
Lu Ye closed his eyes and sensed that the vibrations of the tower were peaceful and calm.
"The Tower of Heaven is regarded as a symbol of blessing for Fukiyose City. Every year lovers climb up the tower and ring the bells," Fenglu said.
Ding, ding.
The breeze blew, and the bells of the Tower of Heaven rang, drifting in the wind across Fukiyose City, which was dotted with airport runways.
Fenglu closed her eyes and said, "Every time I hear this bell, my mood becomes incredibly calm. It's clearly a tomb tower. But even if the trainer and Pokémon are separated, that emotion will always be with them."
Darkrai, hiding in the shadows, was slightly moved. Alicia's smiling face appeared before his eyes, and he fell silent.
Lu Ye recalled the Gastly in the Maiden Gorge in the Kanto region and the thousand-year-old Ninetales in the old house. They have been waiting for the return of the trainer.
That is no longer a pet. Like the Akita dog that stayed in front of Shibuya Station. It is meaningless to further distinguish between humans and Pokémon.
The shrunk Pokéball on his waist contained the quiet little guys. Lu Ye sensed their emotions, looked towards the Tower of Heaven in the distance, and said in a broad voice: "Death is not the opposite of life, but exists forever as a part of life."
Feng Lu looked at Lu Ye in surprise, but did not ask further questions. She smiled and said, "I wish you a pleasant trip to the Unova region, Mr. Lu!"
"Koujie~(￣▽￣)／" Geng Gui floated beside Lu Ye and raised his little hand.
** Unova region, Shuanglong City.
A green-haired young man wearing a baseball cap sat on the sofa in the Pokémon Center, his hands on his knees, looking at the trainers passing by.
Someone rushed in hurriedly, holding the injured Hayok, and shouted something to Miss Joy.
N heard that Hayok forced himself to fight for his dream of becoming a trainer; someone released the cute Dove from the Poké Ball and walked with it in his arm.
N heard Doudou Pigeon’s thoughts and said that it loved its trainer very much.
The green-haired young man continued to sit upright, closed his eyes, and scenes from his childhood appeared in his mind.
He sat in a closed, windowless room, surrounded by piles of tired building blocks and squeaking train toys, which was annoying.
N is only accompanied by his Pokémon companions: the injured Black-Eyed Crocodile, the disabled Slippery Boy, and the broken-winged symbolic bird. They have all experienced being bullied by humans.
N accepted these Pokémon with his tenderness. Even though he was covered in wounds and in pain... N still cherished his only companions.
So he hated those trainers who used Poké Balls to force Pokémon to be captured.
Hates humans who ignore Pokémon's will and force Pokémon.
To others, Pokémon are just tools and pets. But to N, Pokémon are the only things in his life.
This tiny voice collapsed in the image of his adoptive father, Quichis, trying to control Lesiram.
His adoptive father was the kind of person he hated the most. He regarded Pokémon as tools... and cursed N as a "monster".
The flames of Lashiram engulf Team Plasma, and N leaves Team Plasma to travel around the Unova region and heal the injured Pokémon.
In the past two years, N has heard many Pokémon say they "love their trainers," and his worldview has been greatly impacted.
"This world is not black and white. There are people who bully Pokémon, but there are also many people who love Pokémon."
The green-haired young man wore a baseball cap and lowered his eyes, recalling the scene of meeting Miaomiao yesterday. When he heard Miaomiao's voice of "wanting to be with the person he likes", a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
'For this, I need to keep searching until I find the answer.'
"I'm late."
A gentle voice was heard, and someone sat down on the sofa in front of him.
N raised his head.
The gloomy vision was reflected by a torrent of colors, and the wonderful voice surged into my heart like a spring.
He stared straight at the black-haired young man in front of him.
The bonds of the Pokémon are entangled around him, and those thoughts slowly unfold before N's eyes like a picture.
Gengar encounters during wandering, Eevee resolves misunderstandings;
The once-in-a-lifetime Squirtle, the hero-starving Caterpie...
Why does his Togepi have so many happy colors, as if it grew up in sweetness and cream.
Why did his Green Onion Soldiers shout "I don't want to fight" while there was a sharp edge in the deepest darkness...
N stared at the person coming over silently, his breathing stagnated and his thin lips tightly pursed.
"Is there something on my face?" Lu Ye asked in a daze.
"No……"
The green-haired young man smiled gently, tears streaming down the sides of his dim eyes, and said in a hoarse voice:
"It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Lu."
Lu Ye was stunned for a while.
I don’t understand why N started crying right away...I didn’t provoke him.
As if he had noticed something, Lu Ye looked complicated and whispered:
"So what... did the 'handsome' detective lynch you?"
N was in a daze for a moment.
"Don't feel any psychological burden, just tell me."
Lu Ye sat upright, thanked the almost-baby who handed him the hot tea, and blew away the cool air, saying:
"The organization won't make things difficult for you!"
"No...it's all right now."
N lowered his eyes, put his palms together, and smiled shyly, as if apologizing for his previous gaffe.
"Kuai~" Gengar tugged at N's sleeve.
N looked away and saw Geng Gui stuffing a tissue into his hand. After being stunned for a long time, he whispered:
"Thank you, Gengar."
"Kou Jie~()" Geng Gui grinned, stuck out his tongue and made a face.
N's eyes flickered, and his companion Zoroark also loved to make faces, raising a sincere smile.
Lu Ye put down his teacup and asked, "So, why did you ask Team Rocket to meet me?"
N was silent for a while.
I was not mistaken...
But will he give a different answer from the champion of Adek? If even his answer pales in comparison, what should I do? The green-haired young man took a deep breath, raised his dim eyes, and stared at the beautiful picture behind Lu Ye.
N decided to go all out.
He didn't trust Teacher Lu, but he trusted the little ones who trusted Teacher Lu.
N's dim eyes sparkled as he looked at Lu Ye and spoke at a very fast speed:
"I want to know about the way humans and Pokémon get along. I want Pokémon to be free from the constraints of the Poké Ball and create a world without fighting, harm, and conflict, but I don't think that world is such a beautiful thing. What is ideal and what is real? Please, tell me the answer."
N said in a hoarse, almost pleading tone: "Please, Mr. Lu!"
The Elf Center was bustling with noise, and people looked at N, who was like a preacher, in surprise. The whole world froze for a moment, but soon returned to normal.
Teacher Lu was silent.
He recalled why he didn't want the little guys to fight.
"When I was in the Magic City..."
After Lu Ye finished speaking, he glanced at Geng Gui and said:
"At that time, I thought that fighting would hurt the little ones, so I always avoided fighting. I would rather live a peaceful life with Pokémon than fighting."
"but."
Lu Ye touched Gengar's head.
"Koujie~" Gengar narrowed his eyes in enjoyment.
Lu Ye smiled and felt the "scars" all over his back, which were the proof of his journey.
"Battles are not that simple. It's not just about winning or losing. It's more like a chance for trainers and Pokémon to meet each other and understand each other's different strengths."
Lu Ye thought of different trainers and their partners.
Like Xiaozhi and Pikachu, Bamboo and Garchomp, Dante and Charizard...
Teacher Lu.
Mr. Lu and Gengar.
“Even if you are destined to get hurt or fail, there is something you must fight for.”
Lu Ye looked directly at the stunned green-haired young man and said, "That's the reason for the Pokémon battle."
"Even if you are destined to fail, you must fight for it..."
N repeated slowly, a light flashing in his dim eyes, and asked:
"But have you ever thought that Pokémon restrained by the Poké Ball cannot have a complete existence and are not happy! Perhaps, perhaps we can become companions with Pokémon instead of just blindly conquering them..."
N didn't continue.
He saw the little guys in Mr. Lu's Poké Ball flashing with beautiful colors.
"Pokeball?"
Lu Ye looked at the shrunken red and white ball in his palm.
"It's the user who's wrong, not the tool. Some people don't like putting Pikachu into the Poké Ball, and some Pokémon jump out all the time..."
As he spoke, a red light flew out of the memorial ball with a bang, and the sharp-eyed Cong Youbing raised his sword and shield.
"Gah!"
In the face of N's astonishment, Lu Ye expressionlessly took back the green onion soldier and continued:
"To me, the Poké Ball is more like a promise and a commitment."
"promise……"
"When you capture a Pokémon, you risk shedding tears. That's the price of forming a bond."
Lu Ye thought of the tsundere little Eevee who was conquered while wiping away tears, and the little penguin who sailed across the ocean, and a smile appeared on his lips.
"Even if it's rejected... the weight of the promise itself won't change. Right?"
Lu Ye smiled and patted the Poké Ball on his waist.
The fairy Eevee in the red and white ball raised his head proudly: "Eevee! o(^｀)o"
N stared at the black-haired young man in front of him in a daze.
This is the most special trainer N has ever seen.
Adek was immersed in the sorrow of his partner's death, while Alice's experience was still too shallow.
Teacher Lu seems to have a special kind of magic.
Bewitching?
N thought of what Quichis had said, took off his cap, lowered his eyes, and smiled gently.
No...it is simply the unity of reality and ideal.
"I should go now, Mr. Lu."
N stood up, "I think I have found the answer."
"What kind of answer?"
N shook his head. He was still confused, but confident that he could get the recognition of the Dragon Stone.
He must awaken the sleeping dragon and use the dragon of pursuit of his ideals to make up for his mistakes.
"Continue traveling in the Unova region?"
"I think so. If there is a chance, maybe we can meet again." N smiled slightly.
Lu Ye secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiaozhi didn't come, so I had to fool N first.
Using the conversation method... should be able to prevent him from going to extremes.
Teacher Lu partially agrees with N's philosophy. N had always been with bullied Pokémon in his childhood, and coupled with the ideas instilled by Quixote, this developed N's paranoid personality.
Being recognized by one of the two dragons, N is essentially a hero.
If he hadn't been adopted by Quixote, he would have become an excellent trainer. His ability like "Eternal Power" would have been a great help.
But at this moment, N must carry his ideals and continue wandering in Unova.
Lu Ye looked up at the green-haired young man with lowered eyes and a baseball cap, and said:
"When you can't hold on any longer, come to the coffee shop in Miare City to find me... I'll buy you a cup of coffee."
N was suddenly startled, looked at Teacher Lu in confusion, and said hoarsely:
“Why is it worth it?”
N has been alienated from humans since birth and is regarded as a "monster". His only companions are Pokémon.
N is feared by humans, just as Meowth is hated by his tribe.
"Why?"
Lu Ye asked himself quietly, and then said: "Because between a solid wall and an egg that breaks when it hits the wall, I always stand on the side of the egg."
N's dull eyes slowly opened, flashing a bright and vivid luster.
"I will look forward to meeting you again." N paused and said deeply, "Teacher Lu."
Teacher Lu nodded and said, "We have finished talking about personal matters, now it's time to talk about business matters."
The atmosphere suddenly changed. Lu Ye looked at the green-haired young man and crossed his fingers to form the "Commander Ikari" posture.
"Let's talk more about you and Team Plasma."
N was slightly stunned, then came to his senses and said in surprise:
"You are... an Interpol inspector?"
“Just a temporary worker.”
N: “…”
When you say this, teacher, do you believe it yourself?
"They are still investigating my whereabouts."
N sighed and said, "Also, the current leader of Team Plasma is Akroma, and he will be the one to complete Quichis' subsequent plans."
"What plan?" Lu Ye had a vague answer in his heart.
"If my guess is correct... Akroma intends to freeze a city to put pressure on the United Alliance." N said.
Lu Ye recalled the plot of "Black and White 2" where Shuanglong City was frozen, and nodded slightly.
"You don't need to get involved in this matter. Interpol and the Adeke Champion will handle it."
If Adek doesn't do anything, we can only ask Boss Sakaki for help.
Lu Ye was in a delicate mood.
I wonder if the "Storm Plan" for dealing with extreme weather will be effective against ice and snow...
N nodded silently and said, "One more thing. The Pokémon that detective 'Handsome' is working with is currently receiving treatment at this Pokémon Center. If possible, I would like to try to treat it..."
Lu Ye was slightly stunned.
"Handsome Guy's" partner, Frog, died in "Pokémon XY", which corresponds exactly to the current timeline.
"That's easy." Lu Ye said, "I'll continue... cough, heal the bad frog!"
The "Power of Waves" can even heal the World Tree, so curing the bad frogs shouldn't be a problem.
That afternoon.
The bad frog's operation was a great success. It put on a police officer's hat, stood next to the man in the brown windbreaker, and saluted Lu Ye and N: "Quack!"
"You're welcome..." N showed a sincere smile and looked up at the middle-aged uncle, "Mr. Officer, your bad frog said that he likes you very much."
The middle-aged man had a weathered face and a gleam in his eyes. He said in a choked voice, "I'm just an incompetent policeman... I only rely on the help of my partner and the support of my superiors."
Immediately, the middle-aged man turned around, bowed deeply towards Lu Ye, and remained silent.
Lu Ye accepted the 'handsome guy's' bow.
Over the past decade, "Handsome" has solved many major cases, but he has not been promoted due to social constraints. Despite this, he still maintains justice in this world in his own way.
After retiring from "Pokémon XY", 'Handsome' opened a detective agency in Miare City, and out of interest he maintained the stability of Miare City.
There are pure careerists like Quixote, and there are pure heroes like Handsome Guy.
N looked at the 'handsome guy', and was touched. He smiled and waved to Lu Ye:
"I should go now, Mr. Lu."
Lu Ye nodded slightly.
Looking at the gradually disappearing figure of the young man in the baseball cap, Lu Ye breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as N doesn't do anything stupid, Akromah will be able to solve it quickly.
Another major event to save United was avoided.
Things suddenly became safe.
Teacher Lu nodded with satisfaction.
Next, let’s go to Lianyi Town to accompany Miss Zhulan on vacation!
"Geng Gui, let's go eat ice cream with Meng Meng Da!"
"Kou Jie~ (`▽) ** The green-haired young man wearing a baseball cap raised his eyes, penetrated the clouds, and looked towards the distant Snow Flower City.
There used to be an ancient kingdom there. At the bottom of the castle called 'Sword of the Earth' was buried the dark stone that could awaken the 'Ideal Dragon' Zekrom.
Go there.
N's eyes were firm.
Now I have the ideal and belief to awaken Zekrom.
N lowered his eyes and said softly:
"I must make up for the mistakes I made myself."
…
…
N temporarily leaves the stage (￣ε(#￣)~, and Mengmeng is in place.
