Pokémon that goes with the flow

Chapter 110 Like the Protagonist

The hair brushed against his face, tickling Hoshino, and brought his troubled thoughts back to the battlefield.

Looking at the giant needle bee blocking him, Hoshino's eyes widened and his pupils trembled slightly.

"Chong...Master Chong?"

A thin sound of breath slipped out of his mouth, but the current giant needle bee did not immediately respond to his trainer. Instead, he raised the flashing needle in his hand and pointed it at the trainer who just dared to question it. The gym leader Aju who has a relationship.

"Oh? Do you want me not to go too far?" After hearing what he had said about double-bombing gas, Ah Jue still had the expressionless look on his face, showing no sign of the Big Sting Bee's obviously threatening behavior. care.

"I'm just fulfilling my duties as a gym trainer, telling the truth..."

Having said this, Ah Ju paused, glanced at Hoshino, and then focused on the giant needle bee. He said in a matter-of-fact tone: "Besides, I don't feel that I have said anything too much. , in the battle just now, your trainer really did not play any role..."

"Buzz~! Buzz buzz!"

The urgent voice of the Big Needle Bee interrupted A'jue's words, but A'jue was not angry after being interrupted. Instead, he turned to look at his double-bomb gas, and the latter quickly conveyed the meaning of the Big Needle Bee.

"Gas~gas~!"

"Um......"

After listening to Shuangbang Gas's narration, A'jue fell into a rare silence, closed his eyes, and after a while, he slowly said: "...I see, because my trainer is not good at fighting, So leave all the fighting to yourself, and the trainer only needs to stand behind you to support you..."

A'jue opened his eyes, and his gaze switched back and forth between Stingy and Hoshino. He suddenly realized something, and finally focused on Stinging. "Generally speaking, trainers lead Pokémon. You...are trainers led by Pokémon?"

He nodded slightly and continued: "Although this kind of situation is rare, it is not unheard of. Since the trainer is not good at fighting, it is also a way to leave the battle to the Pokémon who are good at fighting. After all, if you don't understand If you have to forcefully direct the battle, it will really only cause chaos for the Pokémon. But..."

Ajie turned to look at Hoshino, "Since you're not good at fighting, why do you want to become a Pokémon trainer? Are you planning to just rely on Pokémon to win the game? "

"Challenger Xiaoxing who has been hiding behind his Pokémon since just now?"

"Buzz! Buzz buzz..."

Hearing that the human in front of him was ridiculing his trainer again, the giant needle wasp was about to refute him, but felt his shoulders being gently pressed...

The next second, he was hugged from behind by a weak body...

"Thank you, Lord Chong..."

Although the soft words were a little hoarse, they still contained some kind of power.

The giant needle bee was a little dazed by this familiar yet unfamiliar feeling. Before she could react, the weight on her back had left her, and she walked directly past her and in front of her.

Looking at the thin but still upright figure in front of him, the giant needle bee didn't react for a moment. Is this my trainer?

But when the young man in front of him turned around, he smiled firmly at himself. At this moment, the giant needle bee suddenly felt much more relaxed all over his body, and the needle he had been holding since the beginning slowly lowered his head... Well, this is indeed my silly trainer... ...

At this time, Hoshino had already walked in front of the big needle bee, facing directly the scrutinizing gaze of the Gym Leader Aju. Within two seconds, Hoshino stooped and touched his cheek with some embarrassment.

"Hehe~, I'm sorry, there was a little accident just now, the game can still continue, right?"

Hoshino smiled awkwardly, but did not avoid the gaze of Master Aju. He was completely different from the Hoshino who just stood there silently.

Such a huge change was naturally discovered by the owner of the Aju Hall. Although he didn't know why, judging from Hoshino's appearance, he probably wanted to downplay what just happened.

However, such an idea would naturally not get the cooperation of the gym trainer A'ju. Out of his duties as a gym trainer, he would not just let the matter go.

"Of course. After all, it is the job of the gym trainer to accept the challenge from the challenger, but before that, you have to answer me a question first..."

The owner of the Orange Pavilion paused, glanced at the Queen Bee and then continued to look at Hoshino, "You should have heard what the Queen Bee said just now, right? This method of leaving the battle to Pokémon, as a What do you think as a trainer? As its trainer, do you agree with this idea?"

"Ah~... Well..." Hoshino smoothed his hair, pushed the hair that was blocking his eyes behind his ears, puffed up his chest and said matter-of-factly: "Of course it's approval! "

But then Hoshino scratched his cheek shyly, "After all, I'm really not good at commanding battles. I'm very self-aware of this."

"Just like you said so yourself, Master Aju, random command will harm the Pokémon. Compared to myself, I would rather trust Mr. Chong, who has rich combat experience, than myself."

Perhaps to cover up his embarrassment, Hoshino raised his arms like a male protagonist in a hot-blooded manga, and then clenched his fists on his chest, "Having said that, please allow me to be a little proud. After all, I can clearly understand the scope of my abilities and be able to Accepting my shortcomings calmly is one of my few strengths.”

Then Hoshino raised his fist and gave a thumbs up and then pointed at himself. He didn't care at all about the surprised gaze of the owner of the Aju Hall, and said with a proud face: "As long as I can accept my own incompetence, then I will be invincible!"

"So I will not hesitate to leave the battle to the insect master, because I believe it will do better than me." Hoshino looked back at the giant needle bee, which seemed to be confused by his trainer's inexplicable words. He was stunned for a moment, but nodded quickly.

Although it doesn't quite understand the meaning of these words spoken by its trainer, it can still understand the last sentence. Since it is the trainer asking for his help, there is nothing to hesitate about.

After Hoshino received the affirmation from the Big Needle Bee, the smile on his face seemed to become much more relaxed. He felt that his whole body had become smaller. He said in a voice that only the Big Needle Bee standing behind him could hear: " Thank you, Lord Chong..."

Then Hoshino naturally looked at the gym leader Aju opposite, but at a certain moment when he turned his head, a trace of fatigue that no one noticed flashed in his eyes...

...So don't be so nice to me...

By the time Hoshino looked at Master A'Ju again, the calm smile had returned to his face, and he looked at Master A'Ju who maintained a serious expression with a smile.

"Hehe~, Master Aji, you have also seen that Lord Chong is willing to accept the burden of me leaving all the fighting to him, and as a trainer, I will try my best to do my best in other aspects besides fighting. Good Lord Chong’s strongest backing.”

Having said this, Hoshino turned around and held the needle-like arm of the giant needle bee. The giant needle bee also seemed to see his thoughts from his trainer's expectant eyes, and took the initiative to raise his own arm to talk to his trainer. Jia's arms came together and pointed back to back at the owner of the Aju Hall opposite.

Perhaps because of the giant needle bee at his back, Hoshino felt a warm feeling of confidence in his heart. He subconsciously said the famous line that Hoshino had always wanted to say in a voice far louder than expected.

"This is the bond between Master Chong and I~!"

"Om~!"

The giant sting bee next to him also said the same words, trying his best to cooperate with his trainer. After saying this, the two closely leaning against each other looked at each other and smiled.

Hoshino felt that his cheeks were extremely hot and his heart was beating fast. He looked at Master Chong's equally red cheeks and his slightly trembling warm body. It seems that Master Chong feels the same as himself at this moment, but...

...Well, we are almost reaching the limit. It is really embarrassing for Mr. Chong. Guys like me and Mr. Chong who don’t like to be public should do less of this kind of thing...

...After all, I still can't be as great a character as the protagonist...

Quickly calming down his excitement, Hoshino looked at the owner of the Aju Hall across from him again. Answering the question like an anime protagonist was the only way he could think of.

"So Mr. Ah Ju, are you satisfied with this answer?" Hoshino looked at Ah Ju with a smile, but his thoughts were not on Ah Ju at all.

Regardless of whether the owner of the Aju gym approves it or not, it is no longer important to Hoshino now. Even if the system task cannot be completed, it doesn't matter. At the worst, he can just change the gym. Anyway...

Naturally, only Hoshino's thoughts are known to him, and after watching Hoshino's exaggerated performance, our Aju Hall owner still maintained his serious expression and responded lightly.

"...Well, I see..."

Then the owner of Ah Ju closed his eyes, pondered for a while and continued: "As I just said, situations like yours also exist. As long as this is your choice, I will not interfere too much. Each trainer and Pokémon are different, as long as you know clearly what you are doing..."

Having said this, the owner of Aju Pavilion paused for a moment, and then continued: "Although your situation is extremely rare even if it is rare..."

I don’t know if it was Hoshino’s misunderstanding, but I always felt that the corner of the owner’s mouth was twitching slightly when he said these words...

Then the owner of the Aju Hall still maintained his serious expression, opened his eyes and looked at Hoshino and the Big Needle Bee, and the double-bomb gas next to him also flew back to the battlefield with understanding.

"This is the light red gym. No matter what you and your Pokémon are like, if you want to get the pink badge, you can only prove your strength to me."

"Your Gym Challenge can continue..."

......

After a short rest, the battle between Hoshino and the owner of the Aju Hall began again. No, to be precise, they continued the unfinished game just now.

"Double bomb gas, use smoke screen!"

"Gas~."

The owner of the Aju Arena still chose to use smoke at the beginning. Seeing the black mist ejected by the double-bomb gas filling the entire venue again, Hoshino quickly calmed down and began to think about countermeasures.

Although he had just said in high spirits that he would leave all the battle to the Sting Bee, he could not really stand on the sidelines and do nothing. As a trainer, how could he let his Pokémon fight alone.

Perhaps, as the owner of the Arena said, there are really trainers who will leave all the battles to their own Pokémon, but that is definitely not Hoshino.

Even if he is not good at directing battles, Hoshino will never sit still and wait for death. After all, he is standing on the sidelines and looking at the overall situation. He can still help the Needle Bee pay attention to some things that he cannot notice while standing on the field. This can help a little bit. busy.

Even if it’s just a little bit, just a little bit is fine…

As for what Hoshino said just now about leaving the battle to the giant sting wasp, saying that this is the bond between him and the giant sting bee...

Just kidding, that's just what Hoshino said at the beginning, and it can't be taken seriously. After all, the Needle Bee has already made a start, and it will be more convincing if you echo what it says.

The performance just now by Hoshino and Big Stitch was just to make what Big Stitch said at the beginning seem more reasonable, and they jointly told the owner of the Aju Hall a lie, although there was still more or less some truth mixed in it. That's it... Well~, after all, half truth and half lies are the most deceptive...

Even if they start directing the Stingy Bee to fight later, Hoshino and the Stinging Bee will make up a new lie to make Hoshino's behavior reasonable.

After all, this is their real bond...

Not only Hoshino and Needlebee, but also Scorpio and Bobo.

No matter what one of them did or said, the other three would try their best to help him get along. Maybe none of them noticed this, but this bond has been formed between them... ..

The black fog in front of him filled the air, and this time Hoshino still couldn't clearly see the situation in the field, but this did not affect Hoshino's thinking of how to deal with it. After all, he believed that Lord Chong would be fine, just like the Big Needle Bee believed that his trainer would definitely stand by. The same thing behind him.

"Master Chong, dispel the fog in front of you like you did just now!"

"Om~!"
