Pokémon: An Encounter with You

"Good morning, Mr. N."

Zoroark on the side did not transform into a figure, but was holding a pickpocket cat in his hand.

N noticed Shi Qiu's gaze and explained simply: "I met this child this morning and happened to bring him here for a full check-up."

Shi Qiu: He said he forgot something yesterday.

He said calmly, "It should be me who did it. We were attacked as soon as we entered the forest yesterday."

"Including the cauliflower monkey in your arms... they all seem to be very hostile to me?"

N nodded, and his men calmed the slightly agitated cauliflower monkey.

"The secret realm where I live is a remnant of the forest in the former Unova region. The elves here have either been abandoned, abused, or hunted by poachers, so they hate strangers."

He asked casually, "So is there another secret realm connected to this town?"

"You don't seem to be from Unova."

"Yes, I'm from the Alola region." He pointed at the Vulpix beside him and said half-truthfully, "Before the world was destroyed, I happened to be in the forest. When I woke up, I was only in the secret realm formed by that forest."

"These two kids, Bubble Squirrel and Riolu, are the ones I met in the Alola Forest."

N was silent for a while, then continued, "Many ancient legendary Pokémon went berserk, disasters occurred frequently in various regions, and the Alola region was the most severely damaged by the attacks of the Ultra Beasts, and five small islands sank one after another."

"The God of Creation Arceus has fallen into a deep sleep. Neither the guardians of the ruins in the Sinnoh region nor the descendants of the Creation Valley in Kalos can wake him up."

"After fierce resistance and efforts, the world was destroyed."

"Giratina, with the help of the World Tree Mew, Zygarde, Necrozma and other elves, shattered the back side of the world, leaving the world to linger in the form of scattered secret realms."

N spoke in a cold tone, as if reciting the history.

"I said you are special. It's because I seem to be able to roughly understand the voice in your heart, just like listening to the heart of an elf."

Shi Qiu's expression changed slightly.

"Are you... a visitor from outside the elf world?"

------

Shi Qiu followed N silently, his brain working rapidly.

After being exposed, he uttered a dry "no" and couldn't say anything else.

When N asked this question, he should have known the answer.

Mind reading and stuff like that are really scary.

"You don't seem to doubt my words?"

The secret of the collapse of the elf world is not something that anyone can know.

N asked without even turning his head, then frowned and whispered to himself: "You already knew? No... You know me? That's not accurate. You know me? You know my personality, life experience, etc., and you even know that I have been recognized by Zekrom?..."

He kept talking to himself, walking without stopping, and tilted his head slightly as if he was experiencing something: "This feeling is not very comfortable."

Shi Qiu had no expression on his face.

Whether it is a secret, privacy or inner heart, it will certainly feel uncomfortable to expose it to a stranger.

N suddenly realized: "So that's why?!"

"...!"

------

[You have entered the a-2 forest area]

Arriving at the wooden house where N lived, Shi Qiu found a chair and sat down without any hesitation.

"What are you looking at...?"

"Wait a minute, Mr. N!" Shi Qiu interrupted him and said, "Stop probing into people's hearts, okay? Everyone should have their own secrets that they will keep to themselves."

N was silent for a while and then chuckled, but his tone was inorganically cold and indifferent:

"After you know everything about me? Maybe you know this without any intention of snooping, but I think it is ideally fair for me to get the same amount of information as you do."

Shi Qiu emptied his mind.

N's tone changed, returning to the gentle and distant tone he had before: "But I don't care too much about the shadows and secrets of individual humans. Since you are so resistant, I will give you some leeway."

"The last question is, even if it is only a theoretical possibility, is there any hope for this world?"

"Maybe. I don't know."

Maybe Shi Qiu is just narcissistic, but judging from the Pokémon he had in the past, such as Mamoswine, Zoroark, and this simulator with some problems, this turning point and hope might be for him.

N nodded: "Okay, I get it."

"I'm not a fan of Pokémon battles, but I respect the wishes of Pokémon."

Yes, I don't know who used Zoroark to blow up the fish pond without saying a word. Shi Qiu couldn't help but complain in his heart.

"...In return, Zoroark can help you train the elves' fighting abilities. As for the elves in the forest, I will also tell them not to attack you."

Shi Qiu had no reason to refuse the free high-level sparring partner.

The Big Boss's range of activities has expanded from the forest to town A, and even now the A-1 forest area may be open to him, so hiding has become the worst option.

and......

Zekrom! The legendary handsome black dragon!

N is not one to collect Pokémon into Poké Balls, he will always have a chance to see some legendary Pokémon.

They talked about elf breeding for a while, and this time it was quite pleasant. Shi Qiu gained a lot and gained a lot of experience in elf breeding.

"Thank you for your help. It's getting late. I'll visit next time."

------

"It's so scary and exciting. Is there something wrong with this simulator?! How come there are still natives of the real elf world?!"

Shi Qiu stuffed the [Ticket to the Forest] into the bottom of his bag.

"Before you have the ability to control your own mental activities, it is better not to enter the simulation world in person."

"Besides! Why is the [a-2 forest area] open when I'm just at the elite level?! At least wait until I reach the champion level before this barrier disappears, you bastard simulator!"

Just as Shiqiu was rolling around on the floor at home, the cell phone on the table vibrated.

He half-lived and propped up half of his body, and answered the phone: "What's the matter? If you have something to say, please speak up. If you have something to say, please release it."

"......Child, have you just woken up?" A gentle middle-aged woman's voice.

Shi Qiu glanced at the screen in horror, and Mrs. Liu was shown on it.

Oh my god, why is it the head teacher? He thought it was his deskmate or Lu Qing.

"Hello, teacher! I had a severe fever two days ago and have been feeling a little low ever since. My mind was a little unclear just now."

Hearing this, Liu Ling frowned: "Are you still not well? Have you been to the hospital? The teacher called you this time because your attendance rate this semester is too low."

"I wanted you to come back tomorrow, so I can give you two more days off. But after that, you can't be absent until the summer camp."

"At least people have to stay in school."

Shi Qiu perked up: "It's okay! No need to ask for leave! I just woke up and sweated a lot, I should be fine to report to school tomorrow!"

Liu Ling's expression softened: "That's good."
