Pokémon: An Encounter with You

"Bubble!" Bubble Squirrel used its tail to flick Pidgeot away and jumped to a place not far from it in two or three steps.

Alas, I don’t have the physical strength to keep up.

Shi Qiu looked at the panting appearance of the bubble squirrel and couldn't help but sigh. He began to think about the next simulation training and put all the points on HP.

"tornado!"

"Bubble Chinchilla, use Echo to put a sound shield on yourself, then use Sing!"

The tornado had a large area and was filled with violent dragon energy, which made it impossible to avoid or disintegrate. Fortunately, Pidgeot was not in its prime, which gave it the possibility to take it head-on.

The air was filled with smoke and a clear voice suddenly rang out. Pidgeot fell asleep almost without struggling.

"Pipi Bird!" Oops, isn't this singing skill a bit outrageous?

Lu Qing was a little confused, and felt that he might fail this time.

"Bubble!" When the smoke cleared, the dirty little gray mouse stood there with gritted teeth.

The next step was very simple, and it was also the part that Bubble Squirrel was most familiar with. Looking at the sleeping Pidgeot, Bubble Squirrel shook off the dust on his body and smiled kindly.

Four-hit sweep and slap + five-hit sweep and slap + sobering slap.

You were the one who was fighting so hard just now, right? (///￣皿￣)○～

"Bi! Bizzzzz..." Not long after the Pidgeot Bird was woken up, the Bubble Squirrel saw that it still had the ability to fight, and threw another song at it with an expressionless face.

This time, the combination skill didn't last until the round of sobering slap, and the Pidgeot was directly hit by the mosquito-coated eyes.

Died in a dream during live performance.

"Pidget was unable to fight and Bubble Squirrel won, so the winner is Trainer Shi Qiu!" The onlookers were amazed and talked to each other, looking at the violent appearance of Bubble Squirrel and the miserable Pidget, they couldn't help but shudder.

I have indeed never seen such a ferocious ordinary-level elf.

Bubble Squirrel, on the other hand, maintained an expressionless look of a master, resisting the urge to rush back and act coquettishly. He walked back calmly, enjoying everyone's gazes, and patted the Poké Ball on his trainer's waist.

Bubble Squirrel: Woo woo~ I’m so tired and in so much pain. My throat is going hoarse and my tail is going to break.

Lu Qing took back the Pidgeot and was not going to continue the fight. He took his schoolbag, said hello to the referee, and put his arm around Shi Qiu's shoulders and left the court: "Alright, little brother, are you that strong?"

Lu Qing handed the things in the backpack to Shi Qiu.

Evolution stones, rare berries, and various portable items.

"Come on, I'll take you to the Pokémon Center and you can choose something from the backpack."

Shi Qiu set his sights on a glowing green prop.

Is this a miracle seed? Why do I seem to be able to sense the vitality inside?

"Then this is it."

Lu Qing glanced at it casually and responded, "In the second-level grade competition, I think you can get first place with your strength."

"Maybe?"

------

In the Elf Center, Lu Qing and Shi Qiu were eating while waiting for treatment from the elves.

"Senior, are all the graduating students this strong?"

Lu Qing thought for a moment and said, "I have three Pokémons, a beginner-level Pidgeot, a mid-level Caterpie, and a mid-level Sun Pokémon."

“It should be ranked in the top five.”

"But I think I should be able to beat the professional mid-level Riolu who was ranked third in level 6 last time."

"The top student in the sixth grade is a girl. There is a high-level professional Kirlia. No one can beat her."

"I heard that she has been specially recruited by Kyoto University. This summer camp is probably just a formality."

Kirlia is a high-level professional. I am afraid she will become an elite after evolving.

Shi Qiu recalled the missed Lalu Las in the simulator, as if he had missed out on hundreds of millions.

"Senior Lu, can I play against you a few times every day from now on?"

Lu Qing was also very interested in the foam squirrel that sang horribly (referring to the control effect, the voice was very pleasant). This ordinary-level elf relied on this one feature to be no less than any beginner-level professional opponent. He did not continue the bet battle in the park, perhaps because of this idea.

"Okay, from now on I'll use the three of them to train with you in turn, so you don't have to run out to get fishing gear."

"Didn't you train against others in school before, Senior?"

Lu Qing curled her lips: "It saves Li Li from having to think about it all day long."

"Oh, you don't know. It's the third in the sixth grade who is in charge of Youluolu. During training class, he doesn't train his own Pokémon all day. He always hangs around others, or sneaks behind others, observing the weaknesses of other students' Pokémons and eavesdropping on other people's tactics."

"Many of us stopped practicing tactics in practical classes and basically ran out to find playing parks, clubs and the like."

Speaking of this, his expression was a little awkward: "It's not that I don't allow this, but I feel like he's the type who wants to disgust you and mess with your mentality."

Shi Qiu smiled secretly.

Oh, it seems that this guy had a bad mentality during his last grade exam.

------

When he returned home in the evening, Shi Qiu took out the miracle seed and felt it carefully. He could indeed feel the vitality inside, or in other words, the abundant energy inside.

Shi Qiu went to see the reaction of the foam squirrel again.

The Bubble Squirrel at the side felt the trainer's gaze and turned around, rubbed Shi Qiu's palm, and went back to concentrating on combing his tail. His movements were visibly perfunctory.

Obviously, he has no interest in miracle seeds.

"My brain is broken. Bubble Squirrel is not a grass-type Pokémon." He took out his mobile phone to prepare for the simulation, and suddenly found that the phone automatically opened the screen and entered the simulation page.

Still in that forest, a line of words popped up on the screen.

[The forest ticket seems to be glowing, do you want to take it out and have a look? ]

Shi Qiu clicked [Yes].

Suddenly, my vision went dark, and then I felt dizzy.

[The forest ticket has been activated. ]

[The character...the sprite...has been generated and is entering the simulation map.]

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

[You have entered the a-1 forest area. ]

"Bubble Chinchilla!"

When I came to my senses, I was already in a forest.

"This is... the a-1 forest area in the simulator!"

It really is the ticket to the forest, opening up the passage between the dimensional walls.

The phone in Shi Qiu's hand was gone. Although his face did not change, his attire had changed into the trainer costume in the simulation.

When he took out the ticket from his backpack, subtitles appeared next to it.

[Ticket to the forest; activated (Activation condition: when the protagonist obtains the first grass-type Pokémon or grass-type related item.)]

[A forest ticket has been detected. Do you want to log out? ]

"Paoli...Paoli? (Qiuqiu, why did the simulation suddenly start? It seems like you...are in too?)"

Shi Qiu nodded and clicked [No] casually.

Now it seems that he has to keep this thing well, otherwise he might be trapped here and unable to get out for the rest of his life. However, putting aside the danger, when real people perform simulations, they obviously feel that the degree of freedom is much higher than before.

Shi Qiu saw the Forest Ranger NPC not far away with a stiff face like a robot, and said hello to the Foam Squirrel: "Let's go to the Forest Ranger and see if we can communicate with this NPC."
