Kendall seemed to have calmed down. He said in a deep voice, "Why? Is there any benefit for you to spend a lot of time teaching others?"
"Yes, it will help me realize the glory of Orei."
Kashiwagi smiled and said, “It may be two or three years, or it may be four or five years. I will establish my own trainer school in Pyrite Town. I will pass on all my knowledge and create generations of powerful Orei trainers!
"You are my first batch of experimental students before opening the school. And the first lesson I want to teach the most is called - "Believe in your Pokémon, and fight to the end!""
Chapter 695 Charging Pigs
What a domineering statement!
The foreign trainers looked at each other in bewilderment.
Most of the arena trainers were outraged and felt greatly insulted, but only a very small number of people were thinking about what Kashiwagi said.
Yinma looked anxious. He absolutely didn't want to see the people in the arena quarreling too much with Kashiwagi and ending up in a bad mood.
For whatever reason.
Silver Ape, who should have stepped out to mediate, chose to stand by and watch, as if he was not the boss of the arena trainers.
Otsuka and the others had a joking look on their faces. Once upon a time, they were not even worthy of being looked at by the people in front of them. But now the status of both sides has been reversed. The Rainbow Team is the semi-administrative agency of Yellow Iron Town, and the Arena...
At most, it is a club that provides a venue for people to play against each other.
of course.
What they were mocking was not the difference in status, but the fact that everyone in the arena was obviously weaker than the other, and the opportunity to become stronger without paying any price was right in front of them, but they didn't know how to correct their attitude.
Are you worthy of being a resident of Huangtie Town?
If they had not been unwilling to contradict Kashiwagi in public, they would have persuaded their boss to return to Team Rainbow's territory. Instead of teaching these little guys, he should have taught those little ones who also wanted to raise Pokémon.
Ayana silently recalled the contents of the three battles. Her heart felt joyful because she had seen a vast world, and her mind frantically absorbed all the knowledge that could make her stronger.
In the battle field.
Kendall was filled with emotion, looking across at Kashiwa who was calm and confident with a slight smile on his face. The anger that had risen up after his defense was broken had completely dissipated with the venting just now.
What replaced it was confusion.
That declaration of breaking the defense was apparently directed at the leader of the Rainbow Team, but in fact it was secretly questioning the Silver Ape who had only been a bystander from beginning to end.
We have experienced so many ups and downs along the way.
So many brothers followed him steadfastly even when the situation in Huangtie Town changed, but he ended up handing them over to outsiders to manage!
Teach them to fight?
Clearly, we need to give them more bosses!
Kendall just endured it until here. Obeying the boss's orders was his creed in life. He even took the initiative to show his power to Kashiwagi.
But winning was not enough, they tried every possible way to humiliate him.
persist in?
Can you win if you persist?
Kendall remembered it very clearly. When the Rainbow Team leader fought against Shan Minoru, Kodara persisted until he evolved but still lost to the telekinetic clay doll.
The ending was no different.
What's the point of persisting like this?
Do you believe in Pokémon? The leaders of the battle are the trainers! They can make more calm and correct judgments from a third-person perspective!
"..."
Kendall opened his mouth, trying to refute Kashiwagi's point, but for some reason no sound came out.
His gaze fell on the ivory pig whose most body was submerged in the sand, with only half of its thick tusks left. But even so, he was still staring at the ivory pig in the sky that was biting the land shark.
Kendall, who was familiar with it, knew that the Ivory Pig was waiting for his orders.
Without his own orders, this guy would never launch any attack on his own, even if he was about to be swallowed by the quicksand.
Why?
He suddenly realized that he knew nothing about the Ivory Pig.
After such a long time without any instructions, the Ivory Pig, who was also familiar with him, could not have been unaware that he had given up.
He was about to be buried, but he was not afraid at all.
Do you think you won't die?
No.
wrong.
Kendall knew that the Ivory Pig was not that smart. This stupid guy would only smile at him and rush in the direction he pointed...
He was suddenly stunned, and a memory from long, long ago emerged in his mind.
At that time, he was not the second-in-command of the Huangtie Arena, but just an ordinary member of a gang of gangsters in Huangtie Town. He was valued by the boss at that time because of his courage and fighting spirit.
However, the gangster group did not last long. They made too many enemies and were soon besieged by other gangster groups.
The boss died soon after, and the rest of the group either escaped or were killed.
As a young and inexperienced boy at the time, he fought stubbornly but was trapped in a corner by a group of people with Pokémon. He was covered in wounds and was just one step away from death.
How did you survive at that time?
Kneel down and beg for mercy?
Got let off the hook?
neither.
It was the long-haired pig, who was seriously injured and should have fainted long ago, who suddenly exploded, allowing them to successfully escape the encirclement and be discovered by the Silver Ape boss, who appreciated their tenacity.
The scars left on the hairy pigs by that battle could not be eliminated even after evolution.
There is still a long scar on its back caused by the Scyther's cut, and no hair can grow there.
Just because he was about to despair, he gritted his teeth and shouted:
"Hairy pig! Charge forward!"
At that time, he did not give up or admit defeat. He was just one step away from death, but he chose to believe in the hairy pig, the partner who had never let him down.
He was looking forward to it very much.
The long-haired pigs, who are good at charging, can also use their bravery to fight their way out, just as they did in the past.
In the end, the long-haired pigs did not disappoint him and even won them a brighter future. Their fate changed from that day on.
He grew up slowly, obtained more and more Pokémon, and gradually became the second in command in the arena.
he's changed.
He became less impulsive, became smooth-talking, and hid all his sharp edges.
But the tuskers haven’t changed.
From the beginning to the end, it was that stupid Pokémon that was always waiting for his orders, waiting to be allowed to run rampant, no matter when and where it was, no matter what its situation was.
That's right.
This is just an ordinary battle, which cannot be compared with the life-and-death crisis in the past.
I am standing in a safe enough place, and the half-buried Ivory Pig looks dangerous, but as long as I wait until the game is over, I can use the Poké Ball to rescue it.
There is no point in persisting.
The ending won't change. He is so much worse than Kashiwagi...
What's the difference?
Kendall suddenly thought of this. Even though Kashiwagi had much more combat experience and a broader vision than him, how much of these advantages could he bring out with a Pokémon that had only been used for fifteen minutes?
Are Garchomp's moves incredible?
Was it completely beyond his imagination?
not at all.
The bottom line is that he thought he was inferior to Kashiwagi from the beginning. His confidence was completely crushed in the first two games, so when he saw Garchomp gradually suppressing Mamoswine, he could only think:
"Ah! So it is! There is no chance of winning at all!"
It turns out that I lost so early.
It turns out that I have always been holding the Ivory Pig back.
Kendall had a bitter expression. He felt ashamed when he saw the energetic Land Shark in the wind and sand, and the extremely angry but powerless Elephant Pig in the sand.
But at the same time, a crazy idea suddenly popped into his mind.
Since you are going to lose anyway, why not give it a try?
You won’t die anyway, so why not give it a try?
Yes.
If he loses, he won't lose anything, but if he wins, he can justifiably rebuke Kashiwagi for being too arrogant, and let Gin Ape know that not just anyone can take over the arena, and he can -
Perhaps, it will not disappoint the Ivory Pig who has persisted until now and has not given up.
The first two thoughts disappeared, and the last thought gradually took root. In the past, Kendall never cared about winning or losing an ordinary battle.
Today, Kendall feels that he should at least stop holding the Ivory Pig back.
Just like the ivory pig has never held itself back!
With a solemn expression and a determined heart, he rushed into the venue in the face of the violent sandstorm and approached the sand pit in front of many shocked eyes.
He is not looking for death.
He was worried that the ivory pigs, which were gradually buried in the gravel, would not be able to hear his voice.
"Brother Kendall! What's wrong with you?"
"Stop it, Brother Kendall!"
