Chapter 110 Nightfall
Chapter 110 Nightfall
The setting sun, like blood, dyed the entire battlefield orange-red, its magnificent colors resembling the final masterpiece painted by nature for this heroic battle.
Ye Bo stood beside Venusaur, his weathered face etched with the marks of time, yet radiating a serene contentment.
He reached out and gently stroked Venusaur's scarred yet resilient body, his eyes filled with tenderness and reluctance.
Venusaur's enormous body trembled slightly, each breath seeming somewhat labored, but its gaze remained fixed on the setting sun.
Its petals had withered somewhat, and their colors were no longer as vibrant as before, but under the glow of the setting sun, they possessed a unique poignant beauty.
Its eyes held no fear, no regret, only a deep affection for this world and for Ye Bo, who had been by its side for many years.
Ye Bo slightly raised his head, looked at the sky dyed red by the setting sun, and a smile appeared on his lips.
That smile contained a lifetime of memories, including the little things about getting to know Venusaur and the countless battles they went through together.
The joy of victory and the pain of defeat both transformed into tranquility in his eyes at this moment.
"Old friend, our lives have been quite something."
He spoke softly, his voice drifting in the evening breeze, carrying a hint of melancholy.
Venusaur understood Ye Bo's words and let out a low, gentle call, as if responding to Ye Bo.
Its gaze shifted from the setting sun to Ye Bo, its eyes filled with emotions like a deep ocean, brimming with endless trust and reliance.
In its heart, Ye Bo was not only a trainer, but also its lifelong friend and the most important person in its life.
As the sun gradually sets, the colors in the sky become even more vibrant.
Ye Bo and Venusaur stood there quietly, their shadows stretched long in the afterglow of the setting sun, as if they had become one with the earth.
Ghost Sea and Gengar stood behind them, watching calmly, without sadness or pity.
Today, he is like someone presiding over a ceremony at the Tower of the Other Shore; he is merely a witness, the host of a ceremony.
As the last rays of the setting sun disappeared below the horizon, Ye Bo's eyes became somewhat unfocused, but his smile remained on his face.
“We…have no regrets…” His voice grew weaker and weaker as his body slowly slid down.
With its last bit of strength, Venusaur supported Ye Bo, its petals gently brushing against his face as if bidding him farewell.
Just as darkness was about to engulf the earth, the flames of life of Ye Bo and Venusaur gradually went out.
They left this world they loved with smiles on their faces.
Their souls seemed to rise with the afterglow of the setting sun to another beautiful place, a place without pain or aging, only eternal tranquility and the bonds of their lives.
The battlefield was silent, with only the Ghost Sea, the gradually dissipating smoke, and the traces of battle damage bearing witness to their final glory.
............
The last rays of the setting sun disappeared.
Ghost and Gengar walked up to Yebo and Venusaur.
Wearing a mysterious mask, Ghost Sea removed the mask, bowed slightly, and together with Gengar, placed them into the Shadow Dimension.
Then, following the path illuminated by the moonlight, they returned to Mizusawa City.
"Uncle Long, Gym Leader Ye Bo of Mizusawa City and his Pokémon Venusaur have passed away. Please inform his family to come to Mizusawa City to collect his remains and belongings, and please ask the League to send a new Gym Leader to Mizusawa City."
The Mizusawa Dojo is quiet at night.
In the spacious battlefield, Guihai laid out the remains of Ye Bo and Venusaur and dialed Long Cang's communication.
Long Cang should have already gone to sleep, but he immediately answered Shi Guihai's call.
They probably thought Guihai had found some new clues about the Revival Society.
I didn't expect to hear such a message as soon as the call connected.
Long Cang was silent for a few seconds: "I understand. I'll trouble you to stay in Shuize City for a few days during this period and serve as the high-end combat force for Shuize City."
"I understand, but I won't stay long. Uncle Long, you should decide on a new gym leader as soon as possible."
"Yes, there aren't many Champion-level powerhouses, but there are many Gym Leader-level trainers."
After ending the communication, the person on duty at the dojo called over the others.
As they watched Ye Bo and Venusaur battle, many of their eyes dimmed instantly.
They knew their gym leader was quite old and that he was unwilling to leave the front lines of trainers.
And many people have fantasized that perhaps one day these two will leave.
But they never expected that day would actually come, and that it would come so suddenly.
Gui Hai looked at the alliance members who worked with Ye Bo and said, "Master Ye passed away today. I have reported it to the alliance, and the alliance should issue the corresponding obituary tomorrow."
The funeral arrangements will be decided by the family of the museum's owner.
After pausing to make sure they had all heard him clearly, Guihai continued, "From now until the next Gym Leader takes office, I will temporarily serve as the Gym Leader of Mizusawa City. All affairs will continue as before, and I hope you will cooperate."
The person in charge of managing the dojo's miscellaneous affairs was an elderly man who looked rather old. He stepped forward to confirm Guihai's identity and approved the appointment.
Guihai turned to look at Ye Bo and Venusaur: "They were the guardians of Mizusawa City. Their remains are temporarily stored in the gym for League trainers to pay their respects until Ye Bo's family arrives."
After bowing slightly, Guihai instructed the staff in the dojo to stop using the battlefield where Ye Bo was located and activate the barrier for protection.
After handing over all the tasks, Guihai and the staff each performed their duties.
The following day, the obituary and elegiac couplets from the Shuize municipal government were delivered.
The people of Mizusawa City also knew that their guardian had passed away.
While feeling sad, trainers continued to come and pay their respects.
During this period, no one challenged the Gym Leader, so Guihai sat in Ye Bo's office looking through Ye Bo's documents about the decrease in the number of Bulbasaur.
Although Ye Bo said he had no regrets in the end.
However, as a Bulbasaur trainer, Guihai felt he still wanted to help the Bulbasaur species solve this problem.
Now that he's gone, I still have the system, which should be able to play some role.
However, these files contain no useful information, and all the values are displayed correctly.
So Guihai simply threw all those things aside, put on his trench coat, and led Gengar and the others to Bulbasaur's protected area.
