Pokémon: An Encounter with You

"Good evening, Mr. N."

When he returned to the hotel, Shi Qiu found N was already in the room. His eyes were out of focus and he looked absent-minded. It was unknown what he was thinking about.

Shi Qiu put his backpack on the seat: "What's wrong, Mr. N? Did anything happen on the way?"

After saying that, he turned his gaze to the Rotom Cellphone floating nearby.

“(It’s okay.)” N came back to his senses and realized that Shi Qiu didn’t understand what he said. He pointed to his backpack and said, “(Let’s talk about it after we return to the secret realm.)”

------

a-1 Forest area.

N's expression was obviously a little tired: "After taking a general look at the environment here, I found that life here is not much different from the elf world."

He subconsciously smiled faintly: "This is a world where humans and elves can live in harmony."

"Then, under Gengar's leadership, I tracked down the humans who attacked you."

"You went alone?! Didn't you bring any elves with you?!"

"Well... I am different from you who are powerless..." N blinked. This mysterious and calm young man showed some youthful spirit and cunning, and his tone rose slightly. "My language has a little mental hypnosis ability, which can force the elves to get closer to their hearts... I thought you should know?"

After all, he was like this when he faced Gengar alone at the beginning. He was confident that as long as there were Pokémon, no matter if they were strangers or enemies, they would eventually become his friends.

Shi Qiu: No, I don't know. I was able to let you out when fighting the villains because you lied to me that the gear set was with me. Otherwise, I would never have stood in front of a gym-level enemy with a human who had no fighting ability.

"I told you it's not like I don't have the ability to fight... No, that's not important."

N brought the topic back to the topic that had deviated from the topic. "The one who attacked you is considered to be a villain organization in this world... They call themselves Team Catholic."

"Moreover, Team Catholic's goal is not your life, but seems to be to welcome you." N paused, thinking of himself during the Plasma Group period, "Their leader wants to invite you to become their king, their spiritual symbol."

"…Why?"

N did not give a definite answer: "I have felt the gaze of the real Reshiram on you. And perhaps they are here for this."

------

Shi Qiu lay on the big bed in the hotel, bored, watching TV, letting Bubble Squirrel and Ice Vulpix roll around on the sofa.

He was not very worried about Team Celestial, after all, there was a king-level or even champion-level trainer right next to him.

Maybe this Catholic team really pissed off N, causing N to visionally form the Plasma Team and directly awaken the Black Dragon to wash the ground with crisscross lightning.

"At 12:35 noon today, a loud noise occurred in the suburbs of xx in Kyoto City. When relevant personnel arrived, a fire had already broken out. The police are currently investigating. Please see the detailed report below."

On TV, the flames were gradually being extinguished with the help of firefighters and Pokémon, revealing debris all over the ground.

Shi Qiu looked at this scene with almost indifference: "Or rather, he is already angry."

the next day.

Shi Qiu's Pokémon don't like being in Poké Balls, so he entrusted the three little ones to the leader: "Let me make it clear first, no messing around. Riolu, help me keep an eye on them."

The competition was held in the Great Hall of Kyoto University. Unlike the exam, the atmosphere was not very serious and it was held on the platform in front of the hall.

There are two large screens, one displays the current question, and the other displays the current scores of everyone.

“The questions have obviously become much more difficult.”

In the seats off the field, students from various colleges were whispering to each other, especially many level five students, who were doing mock quiz questions for themselves.

“第15场，请序列号为39、461、88、1002......学生上场。”

Shi Qiu held the slip of paper with the number 88 printed on it and sat down at a seat under the guidance of Rotom.

"Please note that the questions will be broadcast in two minutes. Please check whether the activities in front of you can be used normally."

"Start answering the questions now!"

[1. Kirinki is a Pokémon with _____ and _____ attributes, and has _____ attribute weaknesses.]

The moment he appeared, Shi Qiu submitted the answer of [General, Super Power, 2], and the score column belonging to Shi Qiu on the screen rose by a small section.

3 seconds later [2. Summarize the characteristics of Flower Gift in one sentence. ]

The questions were released so quickly? Shi Qiu was stunned for a moment, then laughed silently.

Hidden rules: When the first correct answer is submitted, the next question will appear 3 seconds later.

[3. Which of the following moves or characteristics are ineffective against the magical protection characteristic?

A. Transformation (Move)

B. Characteristic swap (move)

C.Copy (feature)

D. Breaking the rules (characteristics)】

Shi Qiu submitted [B] with an expressionless face.

There was some commotion both on and off the court.

Lu Qing, who was number 39, had just finished answering the first question and looked up. It was already the second question. He was still a little confused and didn't dare to think too much and read the question quickly. However, just as he started to think, he watched the question jump to the third question.

Damn, is this a bug?

Where is the organizer, where is Rotom, can you fix it?!

[7. Name three characteristics that will increase your speed in certain weather conditions.]

【Chlorophyll, Leisurely Travel, Snow-clearing】

"Notice: There are no errors in the current device operation."

Not far away, a Rotom responded to the examinee's question.

The commotion in the audience was not entirely due to the twitching title display, but more because of the increasingly exaggerated score column on another large screen.

Except for a few that scored 10 points, most of them had no points at all, and there were even a lot of negative scores starting to appear.

[13. In which of the following situations can the HP loss not be prevented by the magic defense feature?

A. Blood loss from using a substitute】

Shi Qiu submitted [A].

[B. Counterattack from self-sacrifice collision

C. Carrying the life orb to attack the opponent's blood loss

D. Knockdown and detonation characteristics of the opponent's health loss]

As a result, the whole atmosphere began to become strange.

Except for one person, all the students on the field raised their heads and never lowered them again, staring blankly at the words scrolling on the screen.

The audience in the audience fell silent as they looked at the numerical column on another screen that was about to break through the top.

[20. Gardevoir, who has learned the immobilization technique through inheritance, should be from the Nightwatch family, the Weeping Mask family, or the _____ family.]

"This question is a bit abstract." Shi Qiu handed in the answer to the last question [Stinky Mud].

When the screen indicated that the test was over, everyone remained where they were, allowing their reaction time to turn two more times.

what is this?

What! Is! This! Doing!
