Whitley’s Choice (2)
No wonder people don't talk about Rope's specific exploits. That's the kind of guy that if he doesn't want people to know about his exploits, then League will hide him well.
Of course, if he wanted to be famous, League would publicize it heavily. In a sense, Rope had reached a point where he could be treated as a relative equal by the League.
And after that, what Professor Oak said about Arceus and so on, Professor Juniper, on the contrary, didn't have any real feelings, because this kind of thing, was too far away from her... in her eyes, Arceus was a legend...
On the other side, Whitley listened with stars in her eyes.
And Daisy knew by looking at Whitley's look that she guessed that this little girl wasn't a savior either. Although there didn't seem to be anything wrong with this little girl at the moment, Daisy knew that the kind of concepts and thoughts that were the big problem. There was no way to fulfill greed and lust. But there was always a way to make greed and desire recede.
But ideas were different, and those who were truly firm with their ideas would never give up their ideas. They will reach their goals even if it costs them their lives.
And there's nothing wrong with dreaming of becoming the strongest, like RedBlue did, and taking the right path to become the strongest.
But if it's like what Rope had mentioned, the kind of people who achieve good goals in the wrong way are the most terrifying.
Daisy had also heard the stories of Team Aqua and Team Magma, and Rope had said that neither Maxie nor Archie were bad people. They're just on the wrong side of the tracks.
Apparently, in Professor Juniper's opinion, the lovely young girl in front of her had such tendencies...
It's better to let her follow Rope if you think about it that way. If she could survive safely, then this young girl's mind would surely be led by Rope to a correct but perhaps a little odd path. If she can't survive safely...
Time and fate...
[But it looks like a girl with a hard life.]
Daisy looks at Whitley with a slightly odd expression.
Whitley sensed Daisy's gaze and turned her head to look at Daisy with a puzzled expression, giving her a questioning look.
A smile instantly appeared on Daisy's face, and then she pushed the small round cakes on the table towards Whitley's barely, signaling her to try them.Whitley suspiciously picked up one of the cakes, and then took a bite to eat it.
Then...she happily ate it...and nodded desperately at Daisy, signaling that the crumpet was really super tasty.
Daisy smiled, taking her favor with the little girl to another level.
[Let Whitley follow Rope. Among all of us, Rope is the only one who is the best at modifying people's thinking... I just don't know, where exactly Whitley's thinking is wrong].
Daisy thought to herself, as Professor Oak finished his lecture on Rope's 'glorious' deeds. He picked up the tea in front of him and took a sip, then said, "Rope has only been out for about two months, and the things he has experienced are already beyond my imagination, so I don't really recommend Whitley to follow Rope on his trip. It's really too dangerous."
Professor Juniper snapped back from Rope's story, then thought seriously about it.
"It's okay. I can do it."
But before Professor Juniper could speak, Whitley spoke up on her own.
Everyone's eyes focused on Whitley.Whitley didn't tense up and said graciously, "I'm interested in Professor Rope's travels, and none of those dangers he's in are really dangerous. I won't be involved in the big events, and Creation-Arceus obviously didn't approach Professor Rope with malicious intent. I suppose, then, that Professor Rope's experiences are essentially just one scare after another."
Whitley's clear, lark-like voice dissipated in the room, but still lingered in the minds of the crowd.
Truth be told, Whitley had a point, but the crux of the matter wasn't what had happened. Rather, it was the unknown events that had yet to happen.
"It's not like I don't have the ability to defend myself and won't drag Professor Rope down!"
Firmness and confidence were written all over Whitley's delicate little face. Juniper didn't doubt this point, Whitley's talent was really great, it even reminded her of Blue and Red when she was a teenager.Of course, whether it would have that high a ceiling, Juniper didn't know.
But there was one thing Juniper did know.
There was a shortage of strong people in the Unova region...a hell of a shortage...
Alder, that old man, was disillusioned after his old buddy passed away, and then said that there was no one in the Elite Four who could take his place, so he started running around, looking for his so-called successor. But it's been a long time and he hasn't come up with a replacement...
Incidentally, he also pissed off that Caitlin girl so much that she almost fought with Alder on the spot...
And Juniper, who saw Red and Blue in Whitley, certainly didn't want Whitley's talent to go to waste. As for why he didn't give it to Alder.
For one thing, Juniper was really uneasy about that immodest old man Alder. Plus, since she was able to contact Professor Oak, why didn't she hand Whitley over to Professor Oak for cultivation?
You know, Professor Oak's education, that was also very famous. After all, it's the one who trained Red and Blue, and Daisy also shines in the field of coordination and research.
Not to mention that monster Rope...
It's safe to say there's no mediocrity in Oak Research Center.
Plus, Whitley was just too obsessed with the whole 'liberation' thing. That's why Juniper thought of letting Whitley Dao Kanto to follow Professor Oak, which would really have endless benefits for Whitley's future.
"Are you really sure, Whitley? "Professor Oak looked at Whitley's eyes and asked seriously. He wasn't worried about whether or not Whitley would drag Rope down, he just knew that Rope was a guy who basically wasn't going to die in any way other than by his own demise.
What he was worried about was Whitley. Although he hadn't been in contact with Whitley for very long, he trusted Juniper's judgment. Whitley must have great talent.
It would be a real loss for such a talent to die prematurely in the middle of a journey.
"I'm sure of it, Professor Oak!" Whitley's eyes looked like they were twinkling with stars, and the corner of her mouth lifted up in a happy arc, "I'm not some flower in a hothouse, Professor Oak! I'm
Professor Oak looked at the little girl, momentarily at a loss for words.
"Since you insist..." He said, "I'll take you to Rope then."
"Thank you Professor Oak!!!"
Whitley got up and bowed excitedly towards Professor Oak.
Professor Oak waved his hand and said, "There's no need to say thank you, speaking of which, I've never been very comfortable with that Rope guy either, and having someone who can accompany him on his travels will put my mind at ease a bit.
[In this way, Rope, you won't have to be that lonely either.]
Professor Oak thought as he raised his head and looked at the ceiling.
