After calling out the trainer who was speaking, Luther kept recalling something in his mind. It was very painful to have an impression but not be sure.
The trainer who came on stage to speak was a little stunned when Luther called him. After seeing Luther's face, his reaction was similar to Luther's, but his memory seemed to be much better than Luther's.
"Luther?"
It was obvious that I had called them to stop first, and they had already recognized me, but I was still thinking about their names... so embarrassing!
The boy seemed to see through Luther's embarrassment and introduced himself with a smile: "You don't remember my name, do you?"
"My name is Nobuhiro. We met once in the Purple Leaf Forest. Thank you for your advice to me at that time." (Chapter 268)
Memory is like a box. Once reminded by Nobuhiro's words, the box gently opens.
Nobuhiro is also a Pokédex holder, but his strength is very average and he is one of those who cannot go far as a trainer.
Luther had not subdued Darkrai when they met for the first time. If he wanted to persuade Darkrai before the battle, he still needed to communicate patiently.
Darkrai, who was under Luther's feet, also recalled that past event and muttered in a telepathic voice: "I miss you."
I really miss him so much. More than two years have passed in the blink of an eye. I didn’t expect to see an old friend here.
Luther found a cold drink shop and ordered a smoothie and an iced fruit plate. Seeing that Nobuhiro's cunning Tengu and Dajia also wanted to eat, he asked the clerk to get two more portions.
Nobuhiro wanted to refuse, but Luther interrupted him.
"You don't seem to be giving up?"
Nobuhiro took a bite of strawberry smoothie and looked at the cunning tengu next to him and smiled softly.
"It's almost time. I made an agreement with my family that if it still doesn't work by the time I'm sixteen, I'll give up. My family doesn't force me to do it, it's my decision."
"It's my sixteenth birthday in a few weeks, and it's time to let it go."
Nobuhiro showed off the badges he had earned during his travels over the years. Compared with the first time Luther met, there were only six more badges. This speed can be described as very touching.
If it were the old Dakdo, he would probably say something harsh like don't learn to be a trainer if you don't have the ability, right?
But after seeing Nobuhiro go on the field knowing he would lose, and scolding the trainer who was waiting for help from others, and was led into a ditch by Shinnosuke, who couldn't see winning or losing correctly, even the former Dakdo would have praised him.
"I thought about it for a long time after I separated from you, and then I saw your performance at the Lily of the Valley Conference. I looked at myself again and again, and finally found that what you said was indeed right."
"I don't have your strength or your abilities? The long journey made me understand my limits as a trainer."
"Cunning Tengu? Dajia and the others have been working very hard to help me, but they always lose key battles? This is not because they are not strong enough? It is a problem with my ability."
"It's my fault that I don't have the ability to make them stronger."
Cunning Tengu and Dajia didn't eat anything either? They anxiously wanted to comfort Nobuhiro, but Nobuhiro waved his hand.
"No need to comfort me? Your willingness to stay with me is the best comfort for me? I am indeed not an excellent trainer, but I will be the best person for you, I promise.
"
It is very painful to admit that you are mediocre. This ideological struggle probably followed Nobuhiro for two years.
He thought he had put down his identity as a trainer? But today he picked it up again.
Isn't it ironic? So many trainers were dragged into the ditch by Shinnosuke's actions and the chaotic atmosphere.
The only person who clearly saw the problem and stood up to point out the nature of the incident turned out to be a person who might not be able to defeat most of the trainers present.
"By the way, can I go to Qidao when I have time?" Nobuhiro asked. "I heard that there are many kings living there, and there are even two champions? With such a high threshold, can I go and play?"
Although Nobuhiro will no longer be a trainer soon, he still admires the best among trainers. His long-cherished wish that cannot be fulfilled as a trainer? He hopes to realize it in other ways.
He really wants to meet those who are at the top? See their elves? It would be a dream come true to see their training and raising methods.
Luther agreed without hesitation that he could go to the island as long as he had time.
Luther also invited Nobuhiro to go to Mumu City with him to see how Shinnosuke was defeated here.
"The one who appeared in Curtain City is your apprentice?" Nobuhiro shouted in surprise.
The gap between people is indeed getting bigger and bigger, but two years have passed, Luther has changed from an ordinary trainer to the owner of the island, and even has an apprentice.
And his apprentice sounded like it wouldn't be difficult to defeat Shinnosuke.
"I really don't know what kind of monster place Qidao is..." Nobuhiro complained.
Luther laughed loudly: "It's not a monster place, it's just a good place. You'll know it when you go there."
Luther did not stay, invited Nobuhiro to board the Tanabata Blue Bird, and set off for the Curtain City.
The arena battle in Yangxin City has been lost, and Huo Yan, who is still watching at the scene while cracking melon seeds, has already sent the news.
Luther was not surprised, but after Nobuhiro's words, all the trainers present woke up.
At this moment in the forum, what Nobuhiro said has been circulated among everyone, and there are countless people who agree with it.
The original intention of Sirona Yang Xinshi not to come forward was to let them try on their own strength, hoping that they could solve this problem, which is far from a big trouble, by themselves.
Trainers should be passionate, strive for the best, and keep making progress.
Now coupled with Nobuhiro's inspiring words, the noise in the trainer group suddenly decreased a lot.
"Rest for three days. After three days, challenge the trainer of Curtain City."
This is the latest information from Shinosuke's side.
Although Shinnosuke is crazy, he is not so arrogant.
Since everyone says that Li is a rising star in Sinnoh and an extremely excellent fighting trainer, he must be fully prepared.
In the Curtain City, he only had twenty ring fights, which was considered as giving Ah Li the greatest respect.
After Elsie collected the information present today, she told Shinnosuke an interesting piece of information.
"Luther also appeared near the battle site today."
"Luther, this name sounds familiar..."
"The Master of Qidao Island," Elsie reminded, "He is also the winner of the last Suzuran Tournament. It is said that he is already the number one trainer under the King of Sinnoh."
"There is also news from the Sinnoh Alliance that may interest you."
"Silona invites you to Qidao. The opponent you are going to face is not her apprentice, but Luther's apprentice."
