Pokémon: An Encounter with You

"Congratulations, contestant Shi Qiu!" congratulated the host Villian, which also meant that the Youye City Gorgeous Competition had come to a successful conclusion.

Shi Qiu and Chen Liu shook hands and greeted each other.

"You are very strong." Chen Liu said slowly, "I won't lose again next time."

For this grand competition, he and the Hunting Swallowtail Butterfly came with well-trained mental strength and full of confidence, but they unexpectedly encountered the even more evil Shi Qiu and Bubble Squirrel.

They faced each other twice in the finals, and both times ended in his defeat. The difference was that this time he finally said out loud the words in his heart about catching up.

Seeing the serious look on Chen Liu's face, Shi Qiu smiled slightly and said, "Okay, let's work hard together."

------

"Have you decided yet?"

Shi Qiu packed his luggage at home and took out a very beautiful evolution stone from his backpack.

Kirlia nodded seriously.

Shi Qiu sat by the window and placed the Awakening Stone under the sunlight. The center of the stone seemed to freeze the scattered light, as bright and moving as an eye.

This precious magical stone is considered to be the most beautiful in the Evolution Stone series, especially since it has reached top quality.

Ice Vulpix, who was standing by, was delighted when he saw the beautiful thing. He had been coveting this stone for a long time.

Shi Qiu mercilessly dispelled his thoughts: "Don't even think about it. I can't give you this thing. Giving it to you would be a waste of God's gift."

His tone was filled with disdain: "Look at your piece of unmelting ice, it's almost patinaed."

Shi Qiu placed the awakening stone in Kirlia's hand.

Instantly, the light of evolution rose.

Kirlia's figure quickly rose taller in the white light, and her originally quiet and lovely appearance became cold and handsome.

"I didn't expect that among a group of little rascals, the first one to evolve to the final form was Alakazam, who joined the team last." Shi Qiu sighed, even though Alakazam's strength was at the bottom among his friends.

He took out a few move-learning machines that he had bought in advance at the simulator store.

[Race: Aledo (Flash)]

[Attributes: Superpowers, Fighting]

[Characteristic: sharp]

[Carrying items: Fire Gem]

[Level: 25 (Intermediate Professional Level)]

[Already learned moves: Cleave, Sneak Attack, Holy Sword, Telekinesis, Water Blade, Leaf Blade, Instant Teleport, Feint, Swallow Return, Flame Fist (Mastered), Lightning Fist (+5), Ice Fist (+5)...]

[Teaching moves: Sword dance, close combat...]

Evolution is a life-level leap for Pokémon. Even though he had learned the Farmer's Three Punches when he was at the Ralts and Kirlia stage, as Aledo, his fighting style and skills would be drastically different.

This is also why Shi Qiu supports Ralts and wants to evolve into Alakazam as soon as possible.

He can also formulate a path for Alakaza to quickly improve its strength.

The holy sword, as the foundation and signature of Aledo, must be steadily developed and practiced for a long time.

And as their fighting skills develop...

Shi Qiu stared at the words [Water Wave Blade] and [Flame Fist (Mastered)] on the panel, and a previous wild idea came to his mind again.

"Aledo, you should adjust to your body first." Shi Qiu hurriedly took out the forest ticket and said, "Call me when it's time to set off."

After saying this, he disappeared.

"(You evolved just like that?)" Vulpix wondered, pacing around Aledo and examining him.

Except for the fact that Bubble Squirrel was paying attention to this place just now, his mind drifted back to it after Shi Qiu left. At this moment, he was holding a large bag of nuts and crunching them while watching the melodrama on TV.

Zoroya was surprised to see his little friend change twice in a short period of time, and he rushed towards him with his short legs.

Aledo caught Zoroark lightly and steadily, and asked Vulpix: "(Then why don't you want to evolve?)"

Some time ago, he saw Vulpix hiding for two miles from the Ice Stone in his backpack.

"(After evolving, its body will become very big, and it will not be able to stay in Shi Qiu's arms and run around on him.)" Vulpix is ​​not like Riolu. He can say these reasons as a matter of course.

Aledo smiled upon hearing this and fooled him: "(But if you evolve, you will become even more powerful, and maybe you will become Shi Qiu's trump card.)"

Vulpix tilted its head, shook its tail and laughed, and started to "fight" with Aledo: "(Do you think I'm that little fool like Zoroark? I'm already good enough.)" (At this time, Zoroark heard his own name and raised his head in confusion in Aledo's arms.)

"(I need to evolve early because of my race. What? Do you want to trick me into losing the benefit of being held in Shi Qiu's arms?)"

"(It's shallow, shallow, the eyes are shallow.)" Aledo was 'heartbroken' and put Zoroark on the table, "(Big size has its advantages.)"

"(If you are small, you will be harassed. If you are big, you can harass the trainer.)"

Ice Vulpix: ...It's over, I feel a little moved.

"(And, think about it, when walking in a crowd, who would passers-by pay attention to first, the one in Shi Qiu's arms or the one beside Shi Qiu?)" Aledo lightly delivered the final blow.

Ice Vulpix: How about, next time Shi Qiu gives him the Ice Stone, he will evolve accordingly?......

Of course, Aledo wouldn't be so kind.

Regardless of whether Vulpix evolves or not, if the family walks outside, Aledo is the closest in size to the boy, and will definitely be the first one to catch other people's attention together with Shi Qiu.

Vulpix or Ninetail, this one can't even stand upright, it can be considered a small pet at best.

Vulpix on this side was still immersed in the thoughts that were led astray by Aledo, and couldn't get out of it. Bubble Squirrel, who was watching the melodrama, was already making clicking sounds.

He was keeping his eyes and ears open, so he naturally took in everything that had just happened.

I really didn't realize that Alakazam, who appears to be dignified and well-mannered, is actually a typical black-bellied person.

They've only been together for a short time, but he's already as bad as him and Vulpix.

The Bubble Squirrel looked at Aledo's considerate and polite action of putting Zoroark down, and called Zoroark to his side lovingly.

Come here, kid, don't play with these bad guys.

As Shi Qiu's initial elf, the little gray mouse has a very stable status. He only needs to sit back and watch them fight each other until they are bloody.

That’s not right! He suddenly thought of a quiet little puppy.

Riolu was sitting on the sofa, seemingly distracted, with a low sense of presence. But his ears swaying slightly showed his inner restlessness.

Bubble Squirrel could tell at a glance that this guy was also beginning to struggle with the issue of whether or not to evolve.
