Celadon Universe’s Field Course (1)

Whitley walked over to the girl's side, then smiled and stretched out her hand, saying, "It's already safe, don't be afraid!"

The girl raised her head tremblingly, looked at Whitley's pretty face, her eyes quickly turned red, then hugged Whitley, and then fell on Whitley's shoulder and bawled.

To be honest, this is fortunate that this is a girl, if this is a boy, Rope would have slapped the girl to the peach blossom face.

Whitley was only sixteen! Beast!

Whitley smiled and gently patted the girl's back, using a gentle tone of relief, "It's okay, it's okay, Pinsir has been defeated. You're safe."

The girl was still crying, and after a long while, she calmed down and let go of her hand in embarrassment, then wiped her tears and thanked, "Thank you! My name is Chiharu and I'm a student at Celadon University. I came for field practice this time then got lost and ended up waking up this Pinsir..."

Whitley was just about to say something to relieve her when Rope spoke first.

"So why don't you stay close to your own teacher?"

Rope's words were heavily accusatory, and he was indeed upset with the girl who was older than Whitley and a year or two younger than himself.

"It's normal to call for help when you're in distress in the wilderness, but if I hadn't been there today, both of you would have been cleaned up or even killed today." Rope didn't say anything about becoming a meal for Pinsir or anything like that. Pinsir were indeed Pokémon with bad personalities but there was no denying that they were vegetarian Pokémon who liked to suck the sap out of trees. It was mean looking but still not very harmful to other Pokémon by nature.

"Whitley didn't think about his own strength in going to the rescue, and with that scream you did have no problem asking for help, but shouldn't you have told the other party the basics or retreated together under their cover? Just slumping over in fear here would have solved the problem? Celadon University students? Has Celadon University become so relaxed about teaching basic common sense in the wilderness now? Wouldn't staying put and not moving in the safety of your location be the proper course of action in the absence of the ability to defend yourself?"

Whitley could see that Rope was really angry, and Rotom on one side didn't even say a word, and that anger had more to do with the girl named Chiharu in front of her than having resentment towards her own impulsiveness.

But Whitley is also very aggrieved, the reason why she dared so and Pinsir head-on battle is to believe that Rope can come over in time, Rope does not know where she was waiting anxiously for Rope's arrival results but can not wait for the kind of despair.

Thinking about this, Whitley's guilt for her impulsive running over dissipated quite a bit...

On the other hand, although Chiharu didn't know who this boy in front of her, who looked about the same age as her, was, the words that he asked could be described as heartbreaking. Because every word that Rope asked was the basic knowledge that Ms. Erika had given them before they came to the forest.

And by the time she was actually lost in the forest for some inexplicable reason she was literally panicked out of her mind.

And the little girl herself had just been frightened, and by Rope's half-questioning, half-questioning tone, the little girl's eyes reddened again.

Then she whimpered again, and Whitley once again gave him a sharp look before stepping forward to comfort Chiharu once more.

Rope clasped his hands to his chest, not really trying to apologize. Truth be told, every one of his questioning was quite right and justified. Being in the wild was inherently a dangerous thing. To forget these words of experience that previous generations had summarized with their lives could only be said to be irresponsible for one's own life and the lives of others.

Rope only thought that the little girl was lucky and did not feel sorry for her.

However, Rope still released Growlithe. As soon as Growlithe landed on the ground, she looked at the sobbing Chiharu over there, tilted her head suspiciously, and then looked at Rope with a kind of look at a scummy man. Rope's forehead corners veins rippled as she squatted down and fiercely gave Growlithe a popping chestnut.

"Woo~"

Growlithe covered his head with his front paws and stared at Rope with an aggravated look on his face.

"Get up quickly and use scent detection to find the ghost that's behind this."

"Woof!" Growlithe popped up with a bounce, then closed his eyes and sniffed around, then jerked his head up then scurried off in one direction.

"Is that okay, Growlithe this person... this dog alone?" Whitley asked with some concern.

[Actually, you can leave that 'this dog' uncorrected...] Rope tugged at the corner of his mouth then said, "It's no problem, Growlithe's smarter than you think so if he can't beat it he can still come back."

Whitley thought about Growlithe's performance at Saffron Gym, nodded, and was not so worried anymore.

Sure enough, it wasn't long before Growlithe was back...

To be precise, it was carried back.

Or rather, biting into something someone else was carrying, and then being carried back by someone else in the process.

He was biting into a Haunter, which was being carried in the hands of a woman in a green kimono, who was followed by a massive Vileplume.

Rope looked flabbergasted. On the other hand, Chiharu on the other side greeted him a bit awkwardly, "Ms. Erika... I..."

"Great Chiharu, I'm glad you're okay. It scared me a bit!" Erika spread her hands in a flash, and both Haunter and Growlithe fell to the ground with a thud. Haunter, who was still unconscious just a moment ago, tried to run on the spot, but how could Growlithe, who had already bitten him, give him that chance, immediately dry-humping him with a shot of Flamethrower.

Erika was running in the direction of Chiharu, and Whitley naturally got up gently, then made way for Erika and retreated to Rope's side.

Vileplume, who was following Erika, watched Growlithe finish off Haunter with a shot of Flamethrower, feeling the temperature that made the Grass-type Pokémon very uncomfortable, and a wary look appeared in her eyes.

Growlithe, on the other hand, didn't care about the not particularly powerful Vileplume in front of him, and instead made himself comfortable teasing Haunter, who was sprawled out on the ground, already roasted as if it were charcoal.

Erika comforted Chiharu for a moment, getting some basic information before looking over to Rope's side as she bowed and said, "Thank you both for your assistance, I would like to thank you."

Rope has no intention of opening her mouth, instead she tilts her head and glances at Whitley, who for the first time is open to a formal thank you and blushes as she hastily waves her hand, "No no, it's just a show of hands."

Erika looked up and was about to say something, but then she saw Rope and asked in confusion, "Are you... Professor Rope, the expert that Professor Oak introduced to teach."

A polite smile appeared on Rope's face, "Yes, it's me, hello Gym Leader Erika, I've heard a lot about you."

[That's not what you just spoke.] Whitley and Chiharu thought at the same time.
