Chapter 665: Riding the Ferris Wheel with N
"A ticket for the Ferris wheel, thank you."
The lady at the ticket window was dozing off. Few people chose manual ticketing. When she heard the gentle voice, she sat up straight and said:
"A ticket, huh? Please keep it."
The ticket seller took the ticket with long, bony fingers. He looked up at the person and said with a sincere smile, "It's you again... I wish you a pleasant visit."
The green-haired young man was wearing a white shirt with a pendant on his collar and a baseball cap. He took the ticket and put it in his gray trouser pocket, smiling back.
"Thank you. Your Oops Ball Mushroom said the same thing today. He said he was very happy."
The ticket seller looked down at the potted plant on the table. A tiny Oyster mushroom was rooted in the soil and sleeping soundly.
"He comes to ride the Ferris wheel every day. What a weird guy... He's very handsome though." The ticket seller thought to himself, holding his face with his hand.
A companion was calling him, and the conductor greeted another conspicuous black-haired young man when he saw him.
He was wearing a thin jacket with his hands in his pockets, and a Gengar was floating beside him. There was also a Pokémon I had never seen before, with a V-shaped head, happily holding a balloon.
The ticket seller felt that the black-haired young man looked very familiar, as if he was often seen on the trainer circle, but intuitively speaking, the only word he could be described was "handsome".
It’s not the gentle and reserved temperament of the green-haired young man.
It's more like a tough and fearless captain, carrying a group of young sailors, fighting against whirlpools and big fish and surviving.
The two greeted each other and sat down on a park bench to chat. The ticket seller thought to himself:
"Oh, today is another day of bumping into someone!"
** "Didn't you go traveling with Zekrom? Why are you in Raven City?" Lu Ye asked.
"Because the Ferris wheel in Raven City is the most beautiful and orderly in the entire Unova." N said with his hands on his knees, wearing a baseball cap.
Lu Ye subconsciously took the iced mineral water handed to him by Geng Gui and nodded thoughtfully.
It seems that there is such a setting...N's biggest hobby is the Ferris wheel.
"Wait...where does this mineral water come from?" Lu Ye looked at Gengar.
Geng Gui opened the ice cup with a 'sizzle' sound, floated next to the vending machine, and took a sip: "Koujie~"
Lu Ye: “…”
Forget it. It’s not the first or second time that the vending machine hasn’t delivered anything after I’ve paid.
Geng Gui also handed N a bottle of mineral water. After being declined by N, he nervously protected the ice-cold bottle in his hand: "This is mine." N stood up and walked towards the vending machine, smiling, "I'll buy you another bottle."
"口桀~(ノ￣▽￣)" Gengar patted N's shoulder carelessly.
Little brother, you are quite smart !
N bought a can of juice and milk and handed it to his shoulder. A shiny-haired Zoroark emerged from invisibility, with fiery red hair flowing on its head. It glanced at Teacher Lu warily.
"This child is quite shy." N stroked Zoroark who jumped into his arms, "Because he was hurt by humans before."
Lu Ye remembered that fruit juice and milk restored more HP than medicine, so when he had no money to buy medicine, he would often stock up on some fruit juice and milk.
As for this Zoroark, it is N's partner Pokémon, and looks like a little black and red fox.
Zoroya gradually relaxed as N's large palm stroked him. He shook his ears, opened the pull tab with his paw, and drank lazily in small sips.
"It is Zoroark's luck to meet you." Lu Ye pulled the fox's hair, which felt smooth, and raised his head and said, "There are many Pokémon who long for human friendship, and Pokémon who hate humans after being hurt."
"Yes." N lowered his eyes, stroked Zoroark, and said gently: "I grew up with Pokémon that hated humans. I was their only friend. So I have always been skeptical about the Poké Ball. At one point, I wanted to free all Pokémon from the control of humans and Poké Balls and create an ideal world suitable for Pokémon to live in."
The summer is hot and the cicadas are chirping.
Lu Ye asked Geng Gui to come closer to enjoy the slight coolness, and said: "And then."
"Then."
Zoroa sensed the cool air and changed into a comfortable sleeping position in N's arms.
N smiled and said, "Then, I heard a different voice. Pokémon and humans can live happily together, and... that kind of emotion called 'bond' is something I have never seen in Pokémon before."
"Humans and Pokémon met and established a bond," Lu Ye said.
"That's right." N raised his head, looked at Lu Ye with gray eyes, and said: "Teacher, this world... may not be as beautiful as I imagined, but it is a world suitable for humans and Pokémon to live together."
N slowly increased his speaking speed, his eyes flickered, and said:
"Teacher, I know there are still humans who are not trustworthy, and there are still Pokémon who hate humans... But I am willing to fight for it until the day my ideal world becomes a reality."
Lu Ye was silent, then he looked up and said with emotion: "That was a very difficult road, N."
"Perhaps it is because this ideal is almost a fantasy that Zekrom recognizes me." N said with a smile.
Lu Ye put his hands on the bench, raised his head and thought, then said slowly: "Use the Poké Ball to control Pokémon, ignore the bonds and capture them blindly——"
"I think I know what kind of people you hate, N."
“This Pokémon world is not beautiful, and may become even worse. Even the initial love of those people is slowly disappearing. But as long as there is an ideal, it will become a reality one day.”
"I look forward to witnessing the day when your dream comes true, N."
Lu Ye stood up, stretched out his hand to N, and said with a smile:
"Come on, I'll take you on the Ferris wheel."
N raised his head and looked at the face of the black-haired young man in the backlight, his eyes flickering slightly.
It's like seeing a ray of light on a thorny road.
N smiled, held Lu Ye's hand, and stood up, saying, "When I meet someone like that, can I teach him a lesson with Zekrom, teacher?"
"sure."
The two walked towards the ticket window.
"Call me when the time comes, and I'll call Reshiram to come together, so that the staggered lightning will have twice the damage." Lu Ye said.
"I don't understand, teacher." N shook his head.
"That's right, you don't understand. Don't think that you can become the 'King of Team Plasma' just because Zekrom is here. You still have a lot to learn!"
The ticket seller happily handed over a ticket.
Riding the Ferris wheel together... ah, I bumped into it again! ** Sitting in the Ferris cabin.
Teacher Lu remembered that there was a plot in the original work where he and N rode the Ferris wheel together.
But why did I come to Raven City? Looking out the window, Teacher Lu looked at the gradually shrinking scenery, his expression gradually became strange——
Oh no!
I was planning to ride the Ferris wheel with Meng Meng! The one riding the Ferris wheel with Teacher Lu was not Shirona, but N! N turned his head to look out the window, stroked Soraya in his arms, and said:
“The view from the air is so beautiful… I never get tired of seeing it, and it always brings me new surprises.”
Lu Ye was thinking about an excuse to make with Meng Meng later, and said casually:
“Why do you like the Ferris wheel?”
"Why? The beauty of the Ferris wheel lies in its circular motion... Mechanics... is a concrete manifestation of a beautiful formula..."
N said: "On the Ferris wheel, I can temporarily stop worrying about my ideals and concentrate on enjoying the neat structure... I think this is why I like it."
"I'm different from you." Lu Ye sighed: "When people are pushed into a corner, they can do anything—"
"If you don't know how to do advanced math, then you really can't do it!"
…
After the Ferris wheel rotated once, N left the cabin with Zoroark in his arms.
Lu Ye pulled Gengar, who was clinging to the glass window and was reluctant to leave, down from the window. Xiao V was still studying the balloon in his hand.
"What?"
"With the balloon, you will be immune to ground-type moves." Lu Ye said, "Although it's only a one-time effect."
The [Balloon] item in the game can enable Pokémon to float without being attacked.
"Goodbye, teacher."
N stood still, pressed down his cap, and said with a smile: "Although my encounter with you was brief, I benefited a lot from it..."
"You are the one I have the highest hopes for among all my students."
Teacher Lu said seriously: "Keep going forward, don't stop, N."
N's eyes flickered: "What you said about the coffee shop..."
Lu Ye was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Of course, you can come to Miare City to find me anytime. However, the coffee is only free for the first order..."
"This is for you, teacher." N smiled, took off his cap, handed it to Lu Ye, and said, "Although it has no value... I still hope you can accept it."
Lu Ye looked down at the baseball cap.
The baseball cap is a symbol of the Pokémon protagonist, and there are only a handful of characters wearing baseball caps: Red, Dantei, Satoshi, and N.
Teacher Lu was thinking, if he accidentally became the champion, he would have to design a set of champion clothes...
"I'll take it." Lu Ye raised his cap. "It's your advance payment!"
"Then... we really have to say goodbye, Mr. Lu."
N smiled and nodded, then turned his back and walked out of the amusement park.
Lu Ye looked at the green-haired young man's back and had a completely different premonition from the last time he said goodbye.
We'll say goodbye this time, and it may be several years before we meet again...
Even the creative team of Pokémon has forgotten N's ideal of liberating Pokémon.
How should N hold on?
Lu Ye shook his head. Perhaps it was precisely because reality was so cruel that N’s belief seemed so precious.
Looking down at N's baseball cap in his hand, Teacher Lu's expression gradually became subtle.
Wait.
Take this.
How am I going to explain this to Meng Meng later?
…
Half an hour later.
Teacher Lu sat on a park bench, enjoying ice cream side by side with Sirona.
Sirona sipped her ice cream with a smile, glanced at Lu Ye, and said, "You look nervous?"
"Yes, it must be an illusion." Lu Ye had already stuffed the baseball cap into the reversed world in advance.
Sirona narrowed her eyes: "Then why are you sweating?"
"Ha, it's too hot... Well, actually I do have something to tell you!"
Lu Ye glanced at Meloetta who was sipping ice cream on Sirona's shoulder and said seriously:
"Xiao V, come out and meet everyone."
Victini emerged from his invisibility, glanced at Sirona carefully, and scratched his head shyly: "Hey~"
Sirona's eyes lit up and she asked in surprise: "Victory Pokémon... Victini?"
"Yes... We met in Aindook, and then like this, he followed me back..." Lu Ye said.
"I just want you to explain what it means to be like this." Sirona sighed.
"So and so, I will take Victini and Meloetta back to Miare City."
Lu Ye slapped his thigh angrily and said, "This is called, this and that!"
Sirona raised her eyebrows and said with a long pause: "Oh——"
Little V met Sirona for the first time and handed the balloon to Sirona: "Hey there!"
Sirona was startled, and asked with a faint smile: "For me?"
"Yeah!" Victini grinned and nodded happily.
"Thank you." Sirona smiled slightly and glanced at Meloetta on her shoulder.
"Melo~" Meloetta licked the ice cream sullenly, as if she was a little jealous.
"Here~" Sirona curled her eyes and wrapped the balloon around Meloetta's wrist, "This way the balloon won't fly away."
"Nimi~*(*)*" Victini, who had been holding on to the balloon and refused to let go, was shocked that there was such a thing.
Lu Ye laughed dumbly and said, "Okay, I'll go buy some balloons... Anyone who wants one, raise your hand!"
For a moment, the joyful laughter of Pokémons echoed throughout the amusement park.
Lu Ye: "Shakiras doesn't seem to have hands... Well, I'll give them to you next time!"
"Ouch!!! (ω)"
The conductor lady held up her cheek as she looked at the scene of a family of two and a large group of little ones.
So sweet...I got it again! ...
