Chapter 5: Tsundere Snake, it’s you who decides!

"By the way, why didn't you listen to me when we were fighting?" Touko's cheeks were bulging, and she was obviously still angry about what just happened.

"Why should I listen to you?" Vine Snake asked.

"Because I am a human, and you are my Pokémon." Touko said this common sense thing naturally.

"Who stipulates that Pokémon must listen to humans?" Ivy Snake's voice had the stubbornness of an adolescent girl.

"This..." Touko was momentarily stopped by the question from Tengteng Snake.

"Pokémon have powers that you humans don't have, so they give you a lot of help in your daily life. And in this relationship, what do the Pokémon get?" Ivy Snake asked.

"..." Touko had never thought about this question, and had never heard anyone ask this question before. He was stunned on the spot, speechless.

"In the final analysis, humans just use Pokémon as tools." Vine Snake concluded.

"That's not the case!" Touko looked flustered and defended loudly and firmly. Even if he couldn't answer the question of Ivy Snake, humans never treat Pokémon as mere tools, and we must never give in to this point.

"Oh? What's that like? What do you think of Pokémon?" Vine Snake looked disapproving.

"Friend! I regard you as a friend!" Touko expressed her true feelings.

"Friends? Ha, I laughed when I heard this. Are your friends born to obey your orders?" Teng Snake sneered in Touko's mind.

"This..." Touko was asked again. She lowered her head guiltily, realizing her recklessness.

"It's the same with you. You only know how to demand endlessly from Pokmon, and fight with fists and kicks at the slightest resistance. I have once again learned the ugly face of human beings." Ivy Snake's tone became stern.

"Yes... I'm sorry... I was too impulsive just now, but I really want to be friends with you." Touko lowered her head and apologized. But it's also a common thing for children to fight.

"Well, I accept your apology, but I still can't deny that you humans have only been using Pokmon unilaterally." Of course, Tengteng Snake could see that Touko was just a child's impulse, and there was no malice, but for humans, it was just

I still insist on using Pokémon unilaterally.

Touko raised her arms and wiped her eyes fiercely, almost crying after being told something she had never heard before.

"I won't order you anymore, can you be friends with me?" He took out the elf ball and brought it to Vine Snake. He looked like a pitiful doormat and waited for Vine Snake's decision. At the same time, he made up his mind.

, to find the right way to get along with Pokémon.

"...Hmph." Tengteng Snake thought about it for a moment, snorted and got into the elf ball. It seemed that he might have agreed to be friends with Touko.

Because Touko's attitude was unclear, Touko could never let go of the idea. This also strengthened Touko's own thoughts: it is impossible to become an excellent Pokémon trainer without finding the right way to get along with Pokémon.

At this time, Meow Meow was hiding behind the door and observing all this: "Alas~ Touko is still far away, Meow." Meow Meow also "heard" what Teng Teng Snake said in Touko's mind, but he couldn't give it to Touko.

Miao Miao was not too disappointed with Teng Teng Snake's answer. After all, Touko was only a 10-year-old child. At this moment, a voice sounded in Miao Miao's head:

"However, she can give up her position as a trainer and make a promise not to give orders to me again, which is considered preliminary. After all, she still has a lot of room for growth." That turned out to be the voice of Vine Snake.

"It's really you, why did Meow appear here? Where's the original vine snake in the ball?" Meow recognized that the vine snake was not the original one.

"I made it free again. It seems that the people from the Plasma Group caught it in a dishonorable way. It was bought and sold several times before it got into your hands. Since it was not conquered by strength, the vine snake is very

I don't want to enter the Poké Ball, let alone be given to a novice who doesn't know anything. That kid has a lot of character." The Vine Snake changed its proud tone. At this time, although its voice was still very naughty, it was also very naughty.

It reveals a wisdom that has been accumulated over time.

"Well, after all, it's the nature of a demon. Alas, the world today is less peaceful than before. When I was in the Rockets, the success rate of such illegal transactions was still very low... No, you haven't answered my question yet.

"Meow, why are you here, meow?" It feels like the "vine snake" wants to get away with it, but of course meow can't let it do so.

"Is it wrong for a Pokémon to want to find a trainer?" Ivy Snake asked in surprise.

"Stop pretending, meow. Did that Pikachu guy go to the original tree of the world to find you? Please protect Touko, meow." Meow said his guess.

"There is such a reason, but I really want to see the human trainer together, and by the way, I can see whether humans and Pokémon get along harmoniously by the trainer's side."

"Oh? It's really rare for you to have the idea of ​​being with a human, meow. You like freedom the most, meow. I haven't heard of you becoming a certain trainer's Pokémon in a long time, meow."

To others, Meow Meow is just his own Meow talking to himself, like a lunatic.

"At first I wanted to follow Xiaozhi, but that boy never invited me. Anyway, freedom is wonderful, so I didn't bother to follow him. But now I don't agree with Touko as my master. Pikachu is coming with me.

She said that Touko will become a better trainer than Xiaozhi, so I came to give it a try. Whether she can succeed depends on whether Touko has that ability. I think I will definitely leave her when she has no chance."

"Then what you just said about preliminary qualification means..."

"She has the value of continuing to be observed."

…

The morning sunshine illuminated the entire institute, but it could not illuminate the haze in Touko's heart. Miao Miao slowly approached Touko from behind, patted Touko on the back and asked softly.

"What's wrong, meow?"

Touko sat on the ground with her hands on her knees, her head buried deeply in her knees. Meow Meow's question interrupted her chaotic thoughts: "Uncle Meow Meow, humans really only take unilateral demands from Pokémon.

As a tool?"

Meow meow touched his chin and thought for a while, then said: "This problem is very complicated, meow meow. According to my idea, although Musashi and Kojiro are not my masters, I have gained precious feelings from them. This may be

Pokémon get things from their trainers, meow." This serious atmosphere made meow not entangled with the word "uncle".

"But Pokémon have a lot of affection for their trainers. Whether it's fighting or doing other jobs, Pokémon help humans too much. If they only gain a little affection, wouldn't that be unfair?

?" It seems that Touko was deeply stimulated by what Fujisaki said just now.

"Then look at Sea Spiny Dragon, Gem Starfish, did you ever complain about unfairness when you were with your mother, meow?"

"That may be because they are too simple and have never thought about getting anything..."

"Then you definitely think too bad of humans, nya. Think about it, if Koga Ninja and Charizard were not so powerful, would your father abandon them, nya?"

"……Certainly not."

"That's it, meow. Humans get too much help from Pokémon, just because Pokémon happen to have very strong abilities. Although there are some bad guys who simply use Pokémon as tools, they are only a minority. Besides,

Because you are a human, you only see the benefits that Pokémon bring to humans, and in the process of Pokémon training, Pokémon may also gain a lot of extra gains from their trainers, meow." Meow hugged

With her shoulders hunched and eyes closed, she continued to explain. Touko, who was just listening, had stars of admiration in his eyes and asked excitedly: "Then what did the Pokémon get?"

"How do I know that?" Meow looked at his ignorance with a clear face.

"I've never been subdued by humans before! Of course you have to explore this kind of thing yourself, meow!" After talking for a long time, I still don't know the key things.

"Tch!" Touko despised Miaomiao for pretending to understand. However, Miaomiao's words still loosened the knot that Tengteng Snake had tied to Touko, and Touko was very grateful to Miaomiao.

"By the way, since you got a new Pokémon, give it a nickname. Trainers can give nicknames to their Pokémon." Meowth tried to change the subject. However, Touko followed suit and accepted the question:

"Originally, I wanted to call it the same name as the elf, but looking at it... let's call it Tsundere Snake!" That's how Touko decided on the name for his first elf.

"But it seems that its attitude towards you is only 'arrogant' and not 'coquettish'." Miao Miao objected.

"One day, I will use my actual actions to make it 'pretty'!" Make a fist!

[Author's digression]: Smart readers should have guessed what this "tsundere snake" is about, but please rest assured that although the protagonist of this book is very powerful from the beginning, he does not seem to be Long Aotian.
