Pokémon: Shadow of the Dawn

Chapter 687 Ruby and Safiya

After hearing this, Safiya excitedly turned around and shouted to Odamaki: "I want to be a trainer too! I want to be a champion too!"

Odamaki coughed twice and was about to refute his daughter's wrong idea when he saw his wife's unfriendly eyes. In the end, he just shook his head and said, "Actually, being a researcher is better. You can also interact with Pokémon every day..."

"No! I want to be a trainer! Wang Jin said everyone can become a trainer..." Safiya still shouted stubbornly.

"Wang Jin..." Odaki's face darkened, but he couldn't say much, so he had to change the subject: "He is actually also a researcher. Isn't he a doctor now?"

"The trainer is better!" said Safia.

Faced with such an answer, Odamaki was suddenly speechless. He knew that he could not convince someone who was already convinced of a certain idea, let alone his own daughter.

Odamaki could only stop arguing with her and just muttered, "He is a doctor, but I don't understand why he still wastes his time on a useless laboring job."

According to Odamaki and most researchers, trainers are just hard laborers.

They patiently take care of some consumables every day, call them beasts in a rude way, and then beat them to death.

Most of the unrest in the world is caused by these trainers.

And what about the researchers?

You know, the whole world will change because of a research discovery!

Aren’t all the items used by trainers, including Poké Balls, the discoveries and results of researchers?

Odamaki is proud of this career that promotes human progress.

"She wants to be a trainer, so let her try..." Solin said casually while combing his daughter's short hair with his hands.

"But researchers..."

Odamaki shut his mouth immediately after he spoke. He knew that if he mentioned the advantages of those researchers again to refute them, he and his wife would probably start arguing again.

However, time will tell.

It would be fine if he still had the doctorate title before, but now he no longer has the nominal doctorate subsidy... Although it is easy to make a living, it is not a family that can afford to support a high-level elf.

As for the researcher? All he needs to do is use his remaining connections in academia.

Whether it is Metz or Wang Jin, Safiya can easily enter their research institutes and it doesn't matter if she just slacks off.

How could such a safe, stable, promising future and background-based job not be popular?

Oda Juan was puzzled.

Safiya obviously didn't think too much about it and was still looking around energetically.

Until the shouting voice of a young boy caught her attention.

At the entrance of the corridor at the top of the stands, Ruby was struggling in her mother's hands, but like a Squirtle flapping its limbs, she could not turn over in Charizard's hands.

"No! I don't accept it... How can he become the champion? Dad must be lying... There is something shady in the league! There is definitely something shady!"

"shut up!"

Mitsuko hit him hard with the knife, and Ruby immediately stopped.

On the way to the battlefield, Ruby kept asking the new champion Wang Jin what Pokémon he had and what levels they were... Mitsuko of course couldn't answer these questions, and her perfunctory answers made Ruby feel proud.

"Oh, that's the son of the owner of Qianli Pavilion in Chenghua City. He looks very energetic..." Odamaki found the topic and immediately started teasing.

Mitsuko had very sharp hearing and spotted Odamaki right away. After recognizing him, she hesitated for a moment, but took the initiative to walk over and greet him: "Hello, Odamaki... Doctor, you are here with your wife and daughter to watch the celebration today... Your wife is so beautiful."

Solin also greeted her with a smile, and the two of them praised each other as if it was a routine.

Odamaki originally wanted to complain bitterly about the word "doctor", but this left him speechless.

There were only kids and women around him, which made him very bored.

Safiya, however, put one hand on her waist and walked up to Ruby who was rubbing his head, and asked fiercely: "Hey! Boy, what did you just say?"

Ruby subconsciously took a step back, and when she found out that it was a guy about her age, she lost her fear and answered with her head held high and chest puffed out, "I said that the new champion named Wang Jin must have some shady dealings... You think so too, right?"

Safiya's eyes gradually became sharper, and her voice became colder: "So what's the shady deal?"

Seeing that someone finally recognized her, Ruby was so excited that she trembled all over, and boasted nonstop: "Of course you can see it at a glance... such a young trainer became the champion because he solved the Groudon incident, but the league didn't release any details of the solution. Doesn't this explain the problem? He must have just been lucky or had a good background..."

Odamaki's face twitched as he listened, and he felt that children have rich imaginations and strong beliefs.

Mitsuko, who was chatting with Sorin, also changed her expression quickly. She stood up and pulled Ruby's ear to her front: "What nonsense are you talking about? Your father said before that neither of them could beat Wang Jin. Have you forgotten?"

"Hiss... Dad must have been forced to lie. I can see that his expression is wrong!" Ruby shouted again.

"You can't beat me if you can't beat me! How can you lie? Don't make excuses for your father!" Safiya retorted.

Ruby was touched and instantly became furious, screaming and trying to fight with Safiya. But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get out of Mitsuko's palm, and screamed in pain for mercy.

"Hmph... kid, you haven't fought many battles yet and you already know how to brag." Safiya turned her face away with a proud look on her face and sneered.

"You are the brat...you, you, you..." Ruby took out the Poké Ball from her waist, "I want to duel with you!"

Safiya glanced at him, pursed her lips and remained silent for a while, then pretended to be disdainful and said, "Just you? Your father couldn't beat Wang Jin, so you certainly can't beat me either."

Ruby said angrily, "Who are you to him? You are just as arrogant as before!"

"He is... my brother!" Safiya gritted her teeth and shouted, "In any case, he is better than your father!"

"Wow!" Ruby was about to pounce but was stopped by Mitsuko, "You and your sister are not good people! When I report it to the Alliance, the wise President Damaranch will definitely sentence you two hateful siblings to the Alliance prison!"

Safiya also clenched her fists and said fiercely, "You little brat! Do you want to die?"

Mitsuko had never expected her son to say something like this, and Sorin had never imagined that her daughter had such a vicious side.

The two men stopped the two children and prevented them from fighting.
