Chapter 334 Different ways
"These two are my teachers who taught me how to fight Pokémon," N said with a bright smile, "They are just like this, please don't be offended."
The two wise men were like clay sculptures or wooden carvings, and showed no reaction to the conversation.
"By the way, since you have already been in, why not tell us what wish you made?" Yang Ming suddenly said.
"My wish is simple, I just want to create a world where Pokémon can live freely." N said seriously.
"What? You don't even want to make a wish to become the champion of the conference?" Yin said in surprise. In his opinion, all the contestants who came to participate in the conference were aiming for the championship, and winning the championship must be their biggest wish.
"No, for me becoming a champion is just a means, not an end," N shook his head, "Becoming a champion is just the first step on my road to my ideal. My goal is to completely liberate Pokémon so that they don't have to fight for humans anymore."
Everyone's expression changed slightly. They didn't expect that the favorite to win the championship would say such a thing.
"Are you serious about this?" Silver frowned, "Let Pokémon stop fighting for humans? How is this possible?"
"Why not?" N asked, "Pokemon are also living beings. They also have the right to pursue their own freedom instead of being enslaved by humans."
"But the nature of Pokémon is to fight. Fighting against the enemy is not forcing them, but releasing their nature." Yang Ming said coldly.
In fact, the wild Pokémon he saw, whether it was PhiPhi, Swamplord, Stomper and Slowpoke, were all extremely aggressive, and Yang Ming also risked injury or even death when taming them.
Of course, these Pokémon also have one thing in common, which is that they obey the strong, so after Yang Ming defeats them head-on, these Pokémon will quickly obey Yang Ming's command.
"Although you may not believe me, I can understand Pokémon language," N said seriously, "I have seen too many Pokémon abandoned due to injuries, and too many Pokémon exploited by humans and squeezed dry."
"It can be said that it is because humans recklessly exploit the power of Pokémon that the world is as unfair and dilapidated as it is now!"
NThis impassioned speech silenced everyone, except Yang Ming who disagreed.
"But aren't you also commanding your Pokémon to fight? Isn't this the same as the humans you are talking about?" Yang Ming retorted.
"No, I have communicated with them before the battle and will try my best to avoid hurting them," N said solemnly, "and this is also a necessary sacrifice for our liberation cause."
"Liberation?"
"Yes, I plan to spread my ideas to the people of the entire Johto region on the day I become the champion of the tournament," N's eyes sparkled. "This is a world that admires the strong. People will only blindly follow the strong and will not care about the voices of the weak."
"In that case, let me use the rules of this world to speak for these weaklings who can't speak."
Yang Ming was silent. Although he did not agree with the other party's ideas, he had to admit that the logic of N's ideas was self-consistent. He even made a temporary compromise in order to realize his ideal.
Although his stance is hostile, it must be said that he is a man of strong will.
"Young man, maybe what you said makes sense, but you have been ignoring one thing," Louis, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up, "It's not just Pokémon, many humans are also suffering in this world."
N was suddenly startled and looked at the man deeply.
"The tragedy of this world is not just the tragedy of Pokémon, but also the tragedy of mankind," Louis said slowly, "Young man, thinking only from the perspective of Pokémon will narrow your mind."
"Thank you for your advice," N nodded after a moment of silence. "I have benefited a lot from talking with you two today. See you next time."
After saying this, he left Fengwang Temple with the two wise men.
"What a weird guy," Silver couldn't help but say after N walked away, "The biggest goal of a trainer is to simply reach the top. How can someone be so weird as him? He actually wants to liberate Pokémon. It's really nonsense."
"Although he is indeed a weirdo, he is also a determined weirdo," Yang Ming said, "In this world, people who have ideals and are willing to work hard for them are often stronger. This is why he is stronger than you now."
Yin seemed to be lost in thought. He always felt that there was a deeper meaning behind the teacher's words.
"Go to the temple and make a wish first. I hope you can find your own reason to fight."
Yang Ming made a random wish and left. He didn't believe in making wishes or fortune-telling, so he naturally left it at that.
After a long time, Feng Lu came out.
"So, what wish did you make?" Feng Lu asked.
"I wish that all my enemies will choke to death while drinking water in the future." Yang Ming spread his hands.
"What? You can't make a wish for our future," Feng Lu puffed up her cheeks, "I made a wish to have many children in the future."
"Why 'our future'? And your wish is too negative, isn't it? Can't you make a bigger wish, like becoming the league champion?"
"I can't be such a person," Feng Lu said with a wry smile, "I don't have the great talent like Miss Sirona and Miss Kaluni, nor do I have a distinguished family background. I may not even become a king in the future. Compared to reaching the top, I would rather cherish everything in front of me."
"Don't you want to do something big?" Yang Ming was puzzled, "Like liberating Pokémon like N did before?"
Fenglu shook her head: "I will heal injured Pokémon and stop bad guys, but I can't force others to accept my point of view."
"Because this is not a kind of freedom. I don't like being forced to do things I don't like, and I also don't like forcing others. Freedom means doing what you want without hurting others."
Yang Ming was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Have you grown up?"
"what?"
"I used to think you were just a little girl, but now you seem like a mature woman," Yang Ming patted Feng Lu's shoulder. "Maybe compared to those guys who talk about great ideals, you are indeed insignificant, but this does not mean you are inferior. On the contrary, you are more 'real' than these people."
"Everyone in this world has his or her own path, and there is no distinction between high and low. Being able to carry out your own path while respecting the 'path' of others is the smallest unit of strength."
"Compared to those who are crazy about their ideals, people like you are what the world needs."
