Before becoming a researcher, Yamashita was a Pokémon trainer.
Fortunately, his hard work in this field allowed him to get a glimpse of the style of a top trainer. Unfortunately, his limited talent limited Yamashita's further development.
The world of a trainer is cruel.
In other fields, being stuck in a bottleneck means at best confusion and confusion, and represents a stagnation in personal improvement. However, in the world of trainers, the meaning of bottleneck is quite different——
For a trainer, the bottleneck is failure, failure, failure, failure... the failures keep accumulating and overlapping, until they are knocked from a high-level rank to a lower-level rank by a rising star, their dignity is completely shattered, and they completely lose the ability to compete with their younger generations. Qualification for Taiwan battle.
The environment for Elf Battle is changing with each passing day. The stagnant level not only means that the trainer will lose more and win less in the next battles, but it also means that the gap between himself and the trainers of the same period is widening.
What's more, regardless of the wishes of the battle trainers themselves, countless young talents join the battle field every year. They will bring more talents, more tactics, and more popular Pokémon in excellent condition and ready to compete.
Bottlenecks are hell.
Even if you lose, it will never be as relaxing as a video game. Pokémon duels are definitely not the kind of simple battles where someone would happily give up and give up.
As a trainer, you have to stare wide-eyed as the Pokémon you used to get along with, play with, and train with all day long fall to the ground with bruises and bruises. Just witnessing that kind of scene can make you so heartbroken that you want to vomit.
Although the medical system provided by the battle competition is free in principle, the more desperate the battle, the more damage will be left on the Pokémon's body, especially for the losers. This phenomenon is particularly obvious.
Sometimes you can hear the friction sound of the joints when your partner Heart Bat flaps its wings; is the moving speed of your partner Electric Spider slowing down again during training? But seeing that its slightly stiff back foot was the one that suffered heavy damage from the flames in the last game, who can rebuke it?
What kind of cold-hearted guy can he have the heart to step onto the field with such an unseemly determination as "please let me win this time" over and over again?
Oh, it turns out to be a Pokémon trainer.
It's impossible. You can't survive in the world of battle just by working hard.
The trainers are a group of outright sadists, aggressive armed thugs, and hard-hearted terrorists. They are a group of people who should be reviled by thousands of people and condemned by tens of thousands of people!
We can't go on like this, we can't stay in this environment any longer! Not only that, we also need to take revenge, we need to take revenge, we need to find a way to let everyone in the world see the embarrassing appearance of these glorious trainers, and let everyone understand what kind of people they are. Disgusting stuff!
——With this thought, Yamashita gave up everything as a trainer and submitted an application for admission to the institute.
.
"This is the so-called paranoid personality."
On the No. 1 road between Luzi Town and Tangcao Town, Hugo, who was returning, said to his assistant.
At this time, the two were walking towards the train station that leads directly to Feiyun City. Douzi was separated from the detective duo because he was going to compete elsewhere.
"That Yamashita fell into a losing streak in the battle competition, and his originally high self-esteem suffered a heavy blow. Therefore, he not only gave up the battle competition, but also developed hatred and jealousy towards the trainers and other groups."
Hugo summarized the information he had obtained through various channels of investigation, combined with Yamashita's own confession, and explained the whole story of the case to Bilan.
"After entering the institute, he acquired a large amount of high-end Pokémon feed under the guise of studying the sound moves of Rolling Bat, and secretly conducted psychological research on the mentality of trainers in selecting Pokémon. On the only way for trainers to enter the institute, he Placing elves for induction, I hope to experimentally prove the shallowness and short-sightedness of the trainer group."
"By the way, the reason why Yamashita chose otters as test subjects seems to be because there is no suitable small pond near Route 1. Although there is a river to the west of Route 1, if the otters were placed directly by the river, it would be It would be difficult to recover a wandering spirit,” the detective added.
"It's a blessing that he could come up with such a weird idea... Also, I didn't know until today that Dr. Yew is so terrible when he gets angry." Bilan recalled that Dr. Elf was furious and exuded a strong sense of oppression, feeling sad. sighed.
"Actually, even if Yamashita carries out his experiment to the end, his paper will only be academic garbage. I think this is the real reason why Dr. Yew is angry."
Hugo had already retrieved the portable elf from Douzi's house, but he still waved the wooden cane as he walked, looking like he couldn't put it down. The detective said in a relaxed tone.
"In the final analysis, can those novices who have just embarked on the journey be considered trainers? They have not yet received the elf, they are just little devils who have longed for the profession of trainer. The so-called 'prove that the trainer can be manipulated' The goal of the experiment is simply unattainable, and the best he can do is prove the argument that people like to collect all kinds of different Pokémon."
Although the novices who have just embarked on the journey have the qualifications to become trainers, they are not real trainers. Only the adventures experienced with their partners can the novices truly become trainers. Yamashita made a big mistake starting from the starting point of the experiment - the selection stage of the test population, and the conclusion he drew was naturally unconvincing - this was the result of not showing the supervisor the review of the thesis topic.
From this point of view, Yamashita not only does not have the talent to be a trainer, but also does not have the talent to be a scholar.
"But this time the incident was finally resolved perfectly. Yamashita was severely punished by the doctor. Next, he will participate in the academic re-education course of the Yew Research Institute together with Furuya, who suffered a disaster." Bilan said with a smile.
The detective curled his lips and said, "Who made that guy delay the selection of the research topic until now? Listen to me, the best way to treat mild mental illnesses such as paranoia and delusion is to force them to engage in heavy studies or physical labor. As long as When people start to get busy, their mental anxieties and difficulties will disappear without a trace."
"Of course, this is only limited to a short-term mood change. In the long term, a combination of work and rest is most beneficial to physical and mental health." Perhaps because he felt that his statement was not rigorous, Hugo added.
The assistant nodded in agreement and then said——
"Actually, there are similar statements among trainers. I heard that there is a type of trainer who will become anxious due to successive misfortunes, and then increase the training intensity of Pokémon regardless of the consequences. This will instead cause the Pokémon's physical strength to decline, and then Creating a vicious cycle of failure leading to failure.
"Actually, the way to break this deadlock is very simple, that is, while the trainers are training the elves, they should also train themselves. In this way, a reasonable amount of training can be formulated for the elves, instead of relying on the trainer's willfulness to make the elves work crazy. Practice. In addition, this practice can also help trainers relieve stress and exercise."
"It seems that Yamashita-san has never heard of this trick." Hugo shook his head and shrugged, feeling a little pity.
Then the detective added: "In fact, in a macro sense, whether it is Pokémon battles or groups of trainers, it is meaningful to maintain social stability. The league system of the alliance can enable top trainers to get enough exposure, then the alliance can legitimately transfer more social responsibilities to these trainers by setting up gyms and other methods. This kind of compromise policy is much smarter than simply buying and recruiting, and the trainers are also happy to eat it. This set."
Bilan pretended to look at the scenery absentmindedly. Here was a representative of a typical trainer who had received a lot of exposure but put aside social responsibilities.
"Trainers are actually of great significance. They are living representatives of the peaceful coexistence of humans and Pokémon. As two species living together on this planet, humans and Pokémon should originally Existing in an oppositional manner, there will inevitably be a situation of ebb and flow and mutual competition.
"But the birth of the profession of trainer has changed everything. The Pokémon population that should have died out with the expansion of cities has been preserved in large numbers in the form of hand-held Pokémon. Now, there are two layers between humans and elves. The middle area that de-escalates the conflict - trainers and handheld Pokémon. Therefore, as long as trainers are still showing off their power on the stage, the kind of world war between Pokémon and humans in science fiction movies will never break out."
Bilan was surprised and couldn't help but applaud: "Wonderful speech, a very novel perspective! I didn't expect that Mr. Hugo, who has such a bad rapport with Pokémon, could be so objective in his views."
Hugo raised his eyebrows, looking a little displeased, and then he asked: "Speaking of which, Bilan, the case in the Yew Research Institute has not actually been completely concluded."
"Oh?" The assistant looked at the detective in confusion.
"Bilan, you did decipher the reason why the sixty-three trainers chose the otter as their initial partner, but you seem to have forgotten to explain the reason why the sixty-fourth trainer made the same choice, right?"
Bilan's face, which had been beaming just now, was a little stiff.
The detective continued: "It is said that Yamashita checked the institute's application records in advance, and after seeing that your name was not on it, he cleverly gave up the plan to manipulate the receiving ceremony. Just now Douzi drove away the Nuannuan Pig and the Vine Snake. When we entered the research institute, we found no traces of the elves’ excursions. Then the problem arises.”
Hugo looked at the assistant beside him with a half-smile: "The sixty-fourth trainer, Miss Bilan from the Kanto region, why on earth did she choose the water otter without saying anything?"
Under the detective's questioning, Bilan avoided the other person's eyes and answered hesitantly: "Well...it's because I naturally like the water system. When I embarked on an adventure in the Kanto region, I chose Squirtle as my partner. From that time on I became interested in these children who can control water and waves. Moreover, water otters are also quite cute, and their arrogant expression sometimes makes people want to pinch and rub them.”
"I think you might have been induced by something to make the same choice as the sixty-three rookies." The detective said persistently and with very bad intentions.
"Okay, I'll confess!" Bilan shouted, "It's a newborn baby!"
.
What the girl saw deep in the grass were two young warm pigs and vine snakes.
Due to the manipulation of a certain student, the same group of starter Pokémon stayed together for a long time, and something natural happened.
The strange egg-laying phenomenon of Pokémon seems to be easier to trigger in the wild. After half a year, the grass near Route 1 now has the active shadows of the new generation of Vine Snake, Nuannuan Pig.
"It seems that Mr. Eric needs to renovate and update the ecological illustration of Route 1." The detective commented.
