After thinking for a while, Gu Xin decided to ask Lei Si.

"Mr. Lei Si, are you okay?" Gu Xin tentatively spoke to Lei Si.

"Huh? What's going on with that challenger?"

The girl at the front desk who was watching the game also noticed this subtle change.

After all, Lei Si didn't look quite right at the moment, with his head lowered and completely devoid of any intention to fight.

"Emmm... You shouldn't be decadent just because of this disadvantage, right?"

Meiyue Green Jade pointed at her chin and tilted her head in confusion.

Judging from the Dragon King Scorpion and this Muke Eagle just now, this challenger's strength is definitely very good, and he should be an elite trainer after all.

It's just that he was poisoned twice and was confused once. He shouldn't have lost his will to fight directly, right?

On the other side, Shinji pursed his lips tightly and stared at Raiji in the field, his hands unknowingly holding his hands tighter and tighter.

elder brother……

On the field.

"Mr. Lei Si?"

"..."

Gu Xin called out twice more, and Lei Si finally recovered and raised his head.

However, one could clearly feel that something was wrong with Lei Si's state, and his face was very pale.

"Sorry, Master Gu Xin, I think I..."

Looking at Gu Xin's concerned expression, Lei Si showed a forced smile and his voice was very hoarse.

Lei Si's voice paused, and he looked at Mukeying, who was still in a state of confusion, with complicated eyes.

I seem to be... unable to fight anymore...

Lei Si felt very bitter in his heart. He traveled to several regions and challenged all the official gyms, and even got six pioneering symbols.

But in front of the age of gods, he was as weak and powerless as a baby.

Why? Lei Si couldn't figure it out, and he even questioned his own level because of it.

"I want to let go..."

"Mr. Lei Si, although I don't know what you have gone through, I think you want to gain something by fighting me, right?"

Gu Xin interrupted Lei Si's words, looked at Lei Si with a smile and said warmly.

Lei Si was startled when he heard this.

"Actually, I can feel that Mr. Lei Si was a person who was strict with elves before, or a trainer who was very persistent in pursuing strength and power, right?"

"...Yes." Lei Si was silent for a moment and did not deny it.

He has nothing to admit. Trainers in this world have different philosophies, but who is really right and who is wrong is indescribable.

The harshness and cruelty of special training for elves does not completely mean that the trainer does not like his elves.

There is nothing wrong with pursuing strength and power. As long as you are a trainer with a dream, you will naturally pursue strength.

"But the way you look now tells me that you seem to be giving up."

Lei Si was not surprised when he heard this, or he didn't have the energy to care about it at the moment. Lei Si just felt that he was really tired now.

"I'm just a useless loser."

Lei Si spoke bitterly. After working hard for so many years, he finally got this result.

He is not worth mentioning in front of the gods, and even... he is so powerless in front of this young young hall leader.

"Perhaps... I am indeed not a qualified trainer." Lei Si murmured in a low voice.

"Whether we are a qualified trainer should not be defined by ourselves." Gu Xin shook his head and slowly walked into the field.

There is actually no need to continue this gym battle, Lei Si has no intention of fighting at all.

Lei Si looked up at Gu Xin.

"It should be defined by our partners."

"partner……"

Lei Si was startled.

"Yes, elves are our most important partners and companions. Doesn't it depend on their thoughts whether we are qualified or not?"

Guxin took out a bottle of panacea spray and sprayed it on the confused + poisoned Mukeying.

The panacea fell on Muck's Eagle, who was still shaking his head. He quickly shook his head and regained consciousness and health. M'uck's Eagle immediately stared at the Flame Queen Lizard with its sharp eagle eyes.

This despicable, ugly, cunning, disgusting female lizard actually dares to play tricks on me, Lord Eagle!!!

The Flame Queen Lizard glanced sideways at Muck Eagle, but the corners of its mouth were still mocking.

Of course, Muck Eagle noticed this and got angry!

But why is there something wrong with the atmosphere?

Muke Ying quickly came to his senses again. Why did all the trainers on the opposite side come here? And it seemed that this person just used medicine to wake him up?

"Perhaps Mr. Lei Si, you can ask Muck Eagle if it thinks you are a dedicated and excellent trainer."

Gu Xin smiled and pointed at Lei Si, who was confused by Muke Ying.

When Mukying heard this, he turned back to look at Lei Si in confusion. He still couldn't understand the situation. Wasn't he fighting? Why did he suddenly start chatting?

"..." Lei Si fell silent.

He thought of what he had done before. In order to become stronger, he unscrupulously trained the Mook Eagles in cruel ways, leaving them often covered with bruises.

Would the Muke Eagle and the others really agree with this kind of self?

Lei Si pursed his lips, looking a little ashamed.

"What do you think, Mukeying? Is Mr. Lei Si your favorite trainer?"

"muke~!muke!"

Mukeying almost responded without hesitation and kept describing something.

Lei Si raised his head suddenly. Although he could not understand what Mukeying said, the tacit understanding of fighting side by side for many years still allowed him to roughly understand what Mukeying meant.

But it was precisely because of this that Lei Si couldn't believe it.

"It said that although Mr. Lei Si can be fierce sometimes, in fact Lei Si is also doing it for their own good. Everyone wants to become stronger and fight for Lei Si, so even if the training is tiring and painful, they can persevere."

"They all like you, Mr. Lei Si, and you are the only trainer they recognize."

Guxin smiled and spoke to Lei Si. He had the power of Changpan, so he could naturally understand what Mukeer said.

"...Muck Eagle..."

Lei Si's eyes instantly became blurry and red, his tear ducts began to become sour, and he pursed his lips tightly and looked at Muke Ying.

Mukeying, perhaps because it was the first time he had been stared at by Lei Si for the first time, seemed to be a little shy and slowly turned his head away.

"A trainer who can be recognized by his Pokémon is a qualified and excellent trainer. Mr. Lei Si, you are not weak, nor are you a bad trainer."

Guxin's tone softened.

Although it is undeniable that Raiji has very strict requirements for his Pokémon, just like Shinji in the early and middle stages of the original work.

But in reality, their Pokémon never really hated them, and that proved a point.

Even though the little flame monkey was abandoned by Shinji, he never hated Shinji. At the Suzuran Conference, the flame monkey defeated the electric monster. In the end, the flame monkey happily clenched his fist at Shinji and received a sincere "You have become stronger" from Shinji.

A trainer who focuses on pursuing the strength and power of elves is a trainer, and a trainer who focuses on the trust, bond and friendship of elves is also a trainer, but the concepts are different and the emphasis is different.

Of course, this is in a reasonable sense. If it is an extremely excessive sadistic special training, then there is nothing to say, just die as soon as possible.

"I……"

Lei Si was stunned when he heard this.

I'm not weak, nor am I a bad trainer...

At this moment, only this sentence was left in Lei Si's mind.

a long time.

Lei Si wiped away some scattered tears from the corner of his eyes, showed a sunny smile on his rather handsome and delicate face, and bowed solemnly to Gu Xin.

"I understand, thank you very much, Master Gu Xin."

"Mr. Lei Si, there's no need to do this. It's too solemn." Gu Xin helped Lei Si up and said, dumbfounded.

"No, it is very necessary. Master Gu Xin, without your words, I don't know what I would have become." Lei Si stood up and said with a wry smile.

His mentality had almost completely collapsed before, and he even felt that he might never fight again in the future.

After being tortured by Jindai, he was almost beaten like a human by a gym trainer. How could he bear it?
