As a trainer, he has the rain trait

Chapter 143 Good and Evil

"Dad? Why are you here?"

It was Zhiqing, who came with several members of the inspection team.

Hearing Zhilin's question, Zhiqing said unhappily, "What if I don't come and you run around again?"

"Uh~" Zhilin said with a wry smile, "No, no, today is New Year's Eve, I must spend it with you and mom."

Zhiqing let him go for the time being, looked at everyone with a serious expression, and said in a calm tone: "The Alliance will investigate the entire patrol branch. During this period, none of you are allowed to leave the branch."

He glanced at the faces around him, some looking down or nervous, and frowned slightly, "Did you hear everything?"

"I heard it..." Except for a few people who answered loudly, most of the others responded weakly. Obviously, the situation was more serious than they thought.

Seeing this, Zhiqing patted Zhilin on the shoulder and said, "You've been exhausted these days. Go and rest first. I'm still busy here."

Zhilin scratched his head and said, "No, Dad, I still have to go to the hospital."

Zhiqing frowned, "Are you hurt?"

"No, it's an uncle who helped me. He was injured by poachers. His condition is unknown. I have to go check it out."

Zhiqing understood, "Then go!"

Zhilin nodded and hurriedly left the office.

……

In the hospital, the smell of disinfectant permeates every corner. It is an atmosphere that makes people feel both at ease and a little depressed.

Zhilin walked through the corridor and came to the outside of the intensive care unit. Without even taking a breath, he hurriedly asked nurse Li Daniu about his condition.

"Sister Nurse, how is he? Is he okay?"

The nurse was initially a bit unhappy about the family member's departure, but when she saw a handsome young man calling her "sister," her attitude softened a bit. "Family member, right? He's no longer in danger of death, but his injuries are quite serious. He needs to recuperate for a while. It's best if you stay with him."

Zhilin breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the news and nodded.

Without explaining that he was not a family member, Zhilin hurried to the intensive care unit.

In the ward, Li Daniu lay quietly on the bed, and the instruments around him made regular ticking sounds.

His face was a little pale and his lips were slightly chapped, but he had woken up and looked more energetic than Zhilin had imagined.

Seeing Zhilin coming, Li Daniu's eyes flashed with surprise, "You're here? This time, thanks to you, if it weren't for you, I would be dead."

His voice was a little weak, but the gratitude in his tone was evident.

Zhilin quickly walked to the bedside, pulled over a chair and sat down. He held Li Daniu's hand and said with concern, "I'm glad you're okay, Uncle Niu. Take good care of your injuries and don't worry about anything else. If you have any difficulties, just tell me."

Li Daniu shook his head, a simple smile on his face. "I'm fine. This injury will heal in a while. This injury is nothing to me. I've suffered much more serious injuries when I was hunting before."

Zhilin knew he was trying to comfort himself. After a moment's thought, he said seriously, "Uncle Niu, your injury will definitely delay your ability to make money. I have some money here. Take it and use it first. Consider it a token of my appreciation. You need to recover from your injuries and not worry about money."

As Zhilin said this, he was about to give him money.

Li Daniu quickly waved his hand to refuse. He tried to sit up, but the pain caused him to frown. After a moment's rest, he said, "No, no, I may not be well educated, but I have hands and feet and can earn money through my own labor. This injury is nothing. When I recover, I can continue to hunt and earn money. I can't ask you for money for no reason. What kind of person would I be if I did that?"

Zhilin looked at Li Daniu with a lot of emotions in his heart.

In order to satisfy his greed, for money and power, Xu Yue accepted bribes, condoned criminals, and hurt countless people and Pokémon.

He only cares about his own interests, completely disregarding the lives of others, and building his own desires on the suffering of others.

Although Li Daniu is just an ordinary hunter, he has a kind and contented heart. He is hardworking and simple, unwilling to accept charity from others without reason, and only wants to live by his own efforts and sweat.

There is such a huge difference between people.

Seeing Li Daniu's resolute attitude, Zhilin didn't want to force it any further. "Okay, Uncle Niu, but I've already paid for your medical expenses. Just focus on recovering. This is the only thing I can do for you. If you refuse, I'll really feel bad."

Li Daniu looked at Zhilin gratefully: "Zhilin, thank you so much."

Zhilin smiled and said, "Uncle Niu, you're too polite. I haven't even thanked you for taking me in for the night. Take good care of your injuries. When you're discharged from the hospital, I'll take you to pick some Pokémon eggs."

"Okay!" Li Daniu said with a smile. Suddenly, he remembered something and asked carefully, "You didn't tell my family about my injury, did you?"

Zhilin was stunned. "No, what's wrong?"

He was so busy looking for the culprit that he didn't have time to contact Uncle Niu's family.

Li Daniu felt relieved. "That's good that you didn't say anything. I don't want them to worry."

"But today is New Year's Eve. If you don't go back, they will ask about it, right?"

Li Daniu sighed, "I can only find an excuse to get away with it."

Zhilin handed him the phone on the bedside table. Li Daniu opened the address book, found his son's number and dialed it.

"Hey?"

"Dad, are you home? Do you want me to pick you up?"

Li Daniu organized his words and said, "No, I have a big client. I may not be able to go back tonight. You stay home and take good care of grandma, and then..."

Before he finished speaking, the person on the other end of the phone became nervous, "Dad, is something wrong with you?"

Li Daniu quickly covered it up and said, "No, I'm fine!"

"Something must have happened to you! In the past, no matter how busy you were, you would always come back for the New Year! What happened?"

Seeing that he could no longer hide the truth, Li Daniu had to confess the truth.

"I'll book the fastest Pokémon ticket right now, and it'll arrive tonight. Dad, wait for me."

Li Daniu looked at his phone helplessly and complained to Zhilin, "This kid doesn't look very smart, so how did he know something was wrong right away?"

Zhilin smiled and replied, "Because I care and understand enough, I can immediately notice anything unusual."

Although Li Daniu looked helpless, Zhilin could still see that he was still very happy in his heart.

After chatting for a while, Li Daniu looked at the sunset outside the window and urged Zhilin to go home. "It's too late now. Don't stay with me anymore. Go back and reunite with your family."

"Ok!"

Uncle Niu's family would be able to arrive in the evening, so Zhilin was no longer worried and got up to leave.

Li Daniu waved his hand and said, "Let's go. Be careful on the road."

"Okay, Uncle Niu, you should have a good rest." Zhilin said goodbye to Li Daniu and walked out of the ward.

Walking in the hospital corridor, Zhilin had a lot of thoughts in his mind.

This incident made him deeply aware of the complexity of human nature.

In this world, there are people like Xu Yue who are devoured by greed and desire, and there are also kind and simple people like Li Daniu.

Good and evil alternate, one grows while the other declines.

All he can do is try to help the good guys and fight against the bad guys.

As for those Pokémon injured in battle, they are also innocent victims.

They just follow their trainers loyally, but are dragged into the disputes and sins of mankind.

The Trainer is at fault, not the Pokémon.
