Resentment and Hatred, Love and Separation, and Unachievable Desire

Rope was staring at the room.This room in Pokémon Center was huge, not like the kind of group home for normal trainers, or even a mixed dormitory like room.

It was a single room, lightly decorated, fully furnished, and even had some simple training equipment.

Each Pokémon Center had a few similar rooms, which were provided to senior League staff or people of high status when they came to the Pokémon Center looking for accommodation.

Trainers can request a room at the Gym Leader level. However, Gym Leaders don't usually travel. Of course, if a Gym Leader doesn't ask for a room, the Pokémon Center staff won't offer it to them.

If it's an Elite Four Champion, then it will be offered.

It's worth noting that the rooms were not set up by League, but are the handiwork of the Joy family, who funded both the maintenance and construction.

Sort of a perk from League to Joy family. Although it is unlikely that everyone will be grateful to the Joy family because of a stay, but there are jujube no jujube to play a shot, the maintenance of these things does not cost a few dollars, but in case of harvesting a goodwill that is a big profit.

As for those ordinary rooms, on the contrary, the maintenance cost is higher. After all, these high-level is always a minority, these high-level room can be used once a year can already be said to be the frequency of use.

After all, the Gym Leader, Elite Four Champion, and these trainers were nothing to sneeze at when living in the wilderness, and could even be said to be very comfortable with it. Adapting they tend not to use these rooms. As for the Senior Researchers and Professors who were on their level, everyone stayed at home in the research institute to study their projects, and even if there was a need for accommodation, everyone would usually live in the front line of research unless their bodies really couldn't take it. But Researchers in such a physical condition usually don't come to the front line anymore.

Chicken ribs don't have much meat to eat, but it's a pity to throw them away.

However, to be able to net Rope this big fish, it must be said that Saffron City's Nurse Joy is still very happy, Rope's identity and deeds are not a secret within the Joy family, and there are not many things that can be hidden from the Joy family within the entire League.

And now Nurse Joy is even happier.

Looking at Professor Oak, Professor Juniper, and a little girl who is not known but is not simple to think about, this wave as long as she can entertain well, or get a little bit of information, then it can be directly in the family to get a lot of credit.

So she warmly but appropriately entertained Professor Oak's trio and then led them towards Rope's room.

After bringing them there Nurse Joy again consciously and naturally withdrew from the room, with no thought of remaining here.

For one thing, it was a gamble to do more than one thing, to do more than one thing when hospitality could already win favor. And there was no need to pry for information, there was no need to go raw.

Let's say, for example, that Professor Oak took Professor Juniper and a little girl to meet with Professor Rope. that thing in itself is a piece of information now.

And what they said when they met. It's okay to know, but it's also okay not to know. If you can know, you won't hide it from others. If you can't be known by others, you're asking for trouble if you know.

How could a professionally trained Joy do something so degrading?

Saffron City's Nurse Joy smiled, recalling the conversation between Professor Oak and Professor Juniper when they were just entertaining, as well as the little girl's tangled demeanor.

Plus the look of surprise on Professor Rope's face when he saw that little girl...

 NurseJoy gathered her thoughts for a moment, then smiled and returned to her post, continuing to warmly entertain the other trainers. Then looking for an opportunity to have something done in her place, she returned to her room and then pulled out a pen and paper and recorded what she had just seen and heard without any subjective speculation before finding a Pokéball and releasing a Delibird from the ball.

After handing over the letter to Delibird, Delibird saluted at Nurse Joy, who returned the salute with a stern, serious little face before failing to strain herself and bursting out laughing, stroking Delibird's head and saying, "Good job! Come back to prepare delicious food for you!"

Delibird smiled joyfully, then with another salute, he jumped out of the window and flew away.

Nurse Joy watched Delibird's departure and smiled tenderly.

And inside Rope's room, Professor Oak smiled, "Looks like the Joy family's tutelage is as good as ever. Knowing when to show up and when not to." With those words, he sat down on the sofa, not taking himself as an outsider.

Rope naturally wouldn't say anything when he saw this, this wasn't his own home after all, plus, even if it was his home, was it any different from Professor Oak's home?

So he smiled at Juniper and then a little stiffly at Whitley before sitting down to make tea.

Tea he'd brought himself. He didn't have many other hobbies. Drinking tea to meditate and reading books to clear his mind. The more you see, the more you understand what you want.

Juniper and Whitley both saw the stiffness on Rope's face. For a moment, they did not know what was going on, exchanged a look with each other, and did not say anything more.

With things as they were, it was wiser to take a step forward.

"Rope, this is Professor Juniper, her research is on the origins of Pokémon. This is Whitley, the traveling companion I found for you." Professor Oak gave Rope a brief introduction of the small and large beautiful duo in front of him.

Rope extended his hand to Professor Juniper, and then said, "Professor Juniper, I have heard of your name for a long time. I have read your 'Inference of the Origin of Pokémon' and 'Theory of Different Pokémon Species Sharing the Same Ancestor'. It is very in-depth research! Miss Fennel also mentioned you to me and said that you two are very good friends."

Juniper smiled and shook Rope's hand, "I'll spare you all the flattery, I was down here applauding you when you made a splash at Research Summit."

The two's hands touched and parted. Although everyone knew each other, none of them were familiar with each other, so there was no need for too much flattery. If one could become a close friend with two words of flattery, then making friends would be too easy.

Then Rope extended his hand towards Whitley with a slightly complicated face and said, "Miss Whitley, first time meeting, my name is Rope and I am now a new trainer."

Whitley shyly shook Rope's hand, "Hello, Professor Rope, my name is Whitley, a newbie trainer."

Again, it was a touch and go.

Rope's emotions were actually really quite mixed, especially when he saw Whitley's face...
