Pokémon: An Encounter with You

Shi Qiu stood in front of the forest ranger, and sure enough, a few subtitles popped up next to him.

【You encountered the Forest Ranger.】

[1. Talk to the ranger] [2. Fight with the ranger]

Shi Qiu's eyes lit up. There was one more option than the simulation on the phone.

He clicked in the air [1. Talk to the ranger].

The subtitles next to it began to refresh.

[Forest Ranger: Hello, powerful trainer. ]

[Protagonist: Hello, Forest Ranger. ]

Then, two more options appeared.

[1. Ask him about the forest.] [2. Ask him about the town A.]

The second option is grayed out and doesn't look like it can be selected yet.

Shi Qiu clicked 1.

[Protagonist: Can you tell me about this forest? ]

【Forest Ranger: Of course. 】

[Forest Ranger: This forest is coded as A-1, so it is called the A-1 forest area. The elves here range from level 20 to 29.]

[Forest Ranger: There seems to be a secret place in the forest. If you want to find powerful elves or precious items, you may want to go there and take a look.]

[Forest Ranger: But you may be in danger with your current strength. ]

The subtitle simulation dialogue ends here. We are back to the original option, but this time there is one more option.

[3. Ask him for information about the secret realm. (Requirement: Defeat the ranger again.)]

Shi Qiu pondered for a while, returned to the original interactive subtitles, and selected [2. Fight with the ranger].

The opposing ranger threw out a Poké Ball, releasing a well-trained, sharp-eyed Riolu.

【The battle begins! 】

The moment it appeared, Riolu rushed to the Foam Squirrel and chopped it down with its claws.

A flash of lightning + cracking tiles.

It was too late for the Bubble Squirrel to dodge, and he subconsciously used a slap to block, but was knocked away with a thud.

Looking at the ranger who looked like he was dead and had no reaction, cold sweat broke out on Shi Qiu's forehead.

Sure enough, it was completely different from before on the simulator. Now the Ranger was just a tool to open the Poké Ball, and the battle was entirely performed by this terrifying Riolu himself.

It’s not even a rigid turn-based system anymore!

Bubble Chinchilla stood up with difficulty. He used Echo after the slap, which helped him deal with the terrifying tile-splitting move and alleviated some of the impact force.

But even so, after just this one blow, the Bubble Squirrel's physical strength was exhausted.

Shi Qiu struggled for a moment whether to give up. After all, if he used a mobile phone to simulate the situation, with turn-based combat, rigid data freeze, and the command of the opponent's brain hemorrhage, there was a possibility of victory.

Seeing the unyielding look in Bubble Squirrel's eyes, Shi Qiu quickly gave up this option. This kind of suffocating training and the attitude of not escaping will make the improvement of strength better and more stable.

"Use the tail sweep to attack the ground, and use the recoil to keep distance from Riolu!"

Shi Qiu looked at the foam squirrel that barely avoided the "force" and then gave the command:

"Right now! Echo and sing!"

Echo + singing, this is the idea that Shi Qiu came up with after his battle with Lu Qing during the day. Since Wind Rising, as an offensive move, has developed considerable functionality, what about Echo?

The sound shield protection of echo is a preliminary application. However, the echo combined with singing, relying on the characteristics of the former to amplify the hypnotic nature of the latter, is obviously feasible.

A series of hypnotic magic sounds swept over, and Riolu's body trembled slightly.

Before Shi Qiu and Bubble Squirrel could be happy, he straightened up and let out a long howl, and several energy swords flew above Riolu's head, making a clanging sound.

Sword Dance! Attack increased significantly.

The sweeping wave firmly protected the elf in the center while increasing the physical attack by two levels.

Then Riolu broke through the singing sound array and defeated Bubble Squirrel with one move.

【Challenge failed.】

The Riolu on the opposite side nodded to Shi Qiu very intelligently and automatically returned to the Poké Ball.

Shi Qiu took back the foam squirrel and ran to the elf center in town A: "Sure enough, this is another stuck point."

After the treatment was completed, Shi Qiu pinched the foam squirrel's furry little face, causing the latter to smile and hug his hand to play.

Although they lost badly, it was obvious that both of them were in a good mood.

This is an elite-level training site that operates 24/7.

Whether you have any new ideas for moves, or you want to improve your stamina, speed, defense, etc., you can go to Riolu for crazy training. There is even a recovery point next door.

One-stop service to enhance your capabilities.

Secret realms and the like are no longer important.

------

Just like that, for two weeks, Shi Qiu and Bubble Squirrel entered a frenzy of training. During the day, they caught senior Lu Qing and fought against three professional Pokémons in the real Pokémon Center by changing their tactics. In the afternoon, they used the forest ticket to enter the game and have immersive training with Riolu.

In the next few days, Lu Qing avoided Shi Qiu whenever he saw him. During these days, he had gradually gone from being shocked to being numb.

This junior is too powerful, and that evil Bubble Squirtle has been going crazy these past two days. Not to mention that his Pidgeot has never won against that Pokémon, his trump card Sun Eevee was about to fail last time. The professional mid-level mental power, however, looked at the violent fluctuations attached to the Bubble Squirtle, as if it would be broken free in the next second.

I can't afford to offend you. Ibrahimovic was so tired after winning without seeing the sun.

Shi Qiu didn't care. After Lu Qing couldn't find him, he just fought with whoever he could catch on the spot. It happened that the soothing bell he bought before had arrived, so he didn't rush to give it to the foam squirrel. Instead, he followed Lu Qing's example and took it out to use as bait.

The result was that in order to protect the gift given to him by his trainer, Bubble Squirrel fought even more frantically.

-------

That evening, Shi Qiu brought props to the foam squirrel, adjusted his state and entered the simulator.

[Race: Foam Chinchilla]

[Attribute: General]

[Characteristics: Technical master]

[Carrying props: Shell Bell]

[Level: 20 (Professional Beginner)]

[Moves learned: Tail Sweep (+6), Round Eyes, Singing (Proficient), Echo (Mastery), Help, Acting Coquettishly, High-Speed ​​Star]

[Teaching skills: Sobering Slap (+2), Healing Bell]

After a week of training and experimentation, Shi Qiu also roughly understood some of the principles of the simulator panel.

The skills will be presented in several levels through training. The stage with a number in front is the mastery stage, and after reaching +10, it will turn into proficiency. The level of skills is not limited to training through simulators.

For example, this week, Shi Qiu and Bubble Squirrel used [Skill Training Capsules] to develop Echo, which successfully allowed it to catch up and reach the mastery level.

After Bubble Squirrel successfully entered the professional level, the man and his pet decided to try their best again. For this battle, Shi Qiu did not let Bubble Squirrel bring the Soothing Bell, but with the help of the class teacher, he applied to the school and borrowed the Shell Bell.

【The battle begins! 】
