Pokémon: An Encounter with You

April 2023, 4, China, Youye City.

In the early morning, the first ray of sunlight poured through the gap in the curtains and gently rested on the fair face of the boy lying on the bed.

"Paoli! (Qiuqiu, get up, get up)"

Inside the room, a brown-gray mouse nimbly climbed onto the bed and called into Shi Qiudi's ear.

"Hmm~ It's Bubble Chinchilla. Let me sleep a little longer. It's still early. I'll get up in five minutes..." Shi Qiu turned over and hugged the furry elf without even opening his eyes.

The boy's embrace was very warm and comfortable. Bubble Squirrel sighed inwardly and decided to close his eyes and continue sleeping with his trainer.

after an hour.

"Ahhhhhhhh! Help! It's already nine o'clock! Bubble Squirrel! I told you to wake me up before eight o'clock!"

Shi Qiu brushed his teeth with one hand and picked up his clothes with the other hand and put them on.

"The first period at school is at 8:30! I am dying!"

The gray mouse just stood on the table, watching him frantically, smiling without saying a word.

Yes, I didn't call you. The one beside your bed at 8 o'clock this morning was the Snow Demon Girl:)

After Shi Qiu quickly cleaned up, he picked up the elf with one hand and threw it on his head. When he hurried to school, the second class was almost over.

Unfortunately, this class was taught by their class teacher Liu Ling.

1:, Class , Level , Youye Academy.

Liu Ling looked at the handsome boy at the door and threw the chalk to him: "You came early, Shi Qiu."

"I'm sorry, Teacher Liu. I overslept today." Shi Qiu lowered his head, looking ashamed and annoyed.

"Then you should go out and stand in class all day to wake yourself up."

Shi Qiu withdrew his foot that had stepped into the classroom, sighed, and stood outside the door.

During the break, the students watched their teacher walk away and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sure, Shi Qiu, Liu Tai's classes are all this morning, and you dare to be late when Liu Tai has classes."

"When she called the roll in the first class and found out her best student wasn't there, Mrs. Liu's face went black."

Liu Ling is the class teacher of the second level of Youye Academy. Although her main focus is not combat, she is also an elite high-level trainer.

Because she is already middle-aged and plump, and because the Dong Shi cat she raises has the noble temperament, her students privately respectfully call her Mrs. Liu.

This world is divided into several levels according to the energy level of Pokémon and the command ability of trainers: Pokémon energy levels are roughly 0-9, which are novice trainers. Many families who do not engage in Pokémon training and fighting are at this level.

Levels 10-19 are ordinary trainers, and are also the largest group in the world.

The subsequent strength division is no longer based on numerical levels, but is directly called professional level, elite level, and senior level. Each stage has three stages: beginner level, intermediate level, and advanced level.

Of course, there are gym-level and master-level trainers later on, which are the strength levels of regional gym leaders and supreme champions.

"Why are you late today?"

"I played games too late last night and didn't get up in the morning." Shi Qiu replied nonchalantly, staring at his schoolbag thoughtfully.

He was originally a young man from Blue Star in the 21st century. He was reincarnated into this world after dying of pneumonia.

Hundreds of years ago in this world, some magical beasts with magical powers suddenly appeared in forests, grasslands, oceans, and even in human settlements.

At first, humans and monsters were wary of each other and even had conflicts and wars. However, under the guidance of some monsters that seemed extremely powerful and god-like and the passage of time, some humans and the more friendly groups of monsters began to come into contact and gradually live together. After hundreds of years of rapid development, with the emergence of the Poké Ball, people finally stopped calling them monsters and started calling them elves and Pokémon instead.

Decades later, with the interactions and exchanges between countries in the world, after attacks on each other and/or establishment of diplomatic relations, when peace came, countries were nominally renamed as regions, and the major regions formed an international organization similar to the United Nations in the previous life, the Elf Alliance.

The Huaxia region where he is located is considered one of the most powerful regions in the world.

Shi Qiu is a child who grew up in an orphanage. He has the ability to talk to elves, so he is ostracized by other children in the orphanage and his personality becomes withdrawn.

But he was extremely well-behaved and sensible, smart and eager to learn. He was admitted to a local primary school with excellent entrance test scores, and this year he was admitted to Youye Academy with the first place in the unified test.

The Bubble Squirrel was obtained by him at New Year's Day through his Golden Finger: an unknown simulator software that suddenly appeared.

The bell for the third class rang, and Shi Qiu gently patted the foam chinchilla lying on his head.

The little gray mouse's eyes lit up, and he took out the Poké Ball from his backpack and crawled in. Shi Qiu quietly took out his cell phone and turned it on.

After a while, a high-tech window with a blue frame and white background popped up on the phone screen, and a line of words slowly appeared on it:

[The characters and sprites have been generated, and the simulation map is being generated. ]

[Current simulation map: ***'s most popular and most crowded areas. ]

【You have entered an unknown cave. 】

A 2D pixelated man appeared on the screen, surrounded by a dark brown cave.

The object simulated by this simulator was very similar to the Pokémon game he played on the computer in his previous life, but the map was not any version of the map. All the cities, towns, and roads were named using very rough ABC.

This black cave is a combination of the secret space opened up in the Emerald game and the suspicious caves in the black and white series. It is also the place where Shi Qiu and Bubble Squirrel first met.

Shi Qiu once asked the Bubble Squirrel if he had any memories of the game, and the answer he got was that the game was a normal three-dimensional world, and even the pixelated people in it looked like Shi Qiu in real life in the eyes of the little gray mouse.

It's just that his face and movements are very stiff, like a robot.

Shi Qiu controlled the pixel character out of the cave and walked back and forth in the grass on Road A.

[Wild spinytails jumped out! 】

[You commanded Bubble Squirrel to use Slap. ]

[The spinytail has fallen. The foam squirrel has gained some experience points.]

……

[Bubble Squirrel's level has been raised! 】

……

[You have entered the secret space: Shi Qiu and Bubble Squirrel’s home]

[You directed the foam squirrel to conduct speed training. ]

[The speed of the Bubble Squirrel has been slightly increased. 】

……

The bell for the third class ended, and the students were playing and joking with their elf friends in groups of three or four. Shi Qiu had just thrown his phone into his schoolbag when his deskmate Li Qi came over and pushed Shi Qiu into the classroom:

"Let's go, Mrs. Liu asked you to come back for class."

In the classroom, Liu Ling was writing something on the blackboard. When she saw Shi Qiu, she rolled her eyes.

"This will never happen again!"

The Dong Shi cat next to him walked over slowly and gracefully and gently nudged Shi Qiu's hand.

Shi Qiu smiled knowingly and rubbed the cat's head: "Thank you very much!"

"Meow~Meow (You're welcome.)"

"Okay, get back to your seats, I have something to announce."
