Pokémon: An Encounter with You

"(You were supposed to accept the mission after the military training, but now it's been four or five days longer...what are you going to do?)" asked Bubble Squirrel.

"...Then let's start the mission tomorrow." Being busy doing real work is not a bad thing under the current circumstances.

Shi Qiu picked up his backpack and took the little gray mouse with him: "Let's go, go to school and ask for leave in advance. It's hard to even take online classes in the simulator."

Bubble Squirrel came up with a bad idea: "(You can let N log into the account on your behalf... Anyway, it's over the Internet, who knows who is behind it...)"

Shi Qiu tapped the little gray mouse's head lightly: "Not to mention how presumptuous this method is to N, what if the teacher suddenly wants me to turn on the microphone? What if I turn on the camera? What if I get caught?"

"Only you can come up with such a bad idea."

The Bubble Squirrel was not convinced and whispered back, "(Who said that? Why don't you go ask Ice Vulpix? Do you believe that the ideas that the brat came up with are worse than mine?......)"

Shi Qiu: ...I feel tired.

------------

the next day.

Shi Qiu brought all the Pokémon, including the uncaptured Zeraora, and entered the B-1 area.

He looked at the reappearing task prompt and could see that the space in this sea area had become more unstable.

"Are you all ready?" Shi Qiu asked while holding the dozing Zoroark in his arms. Seeing the elves nod, he pressed [I Accept] on the virtual screen.

[Large series of tasks: Nature and Time Open]

【You are being transferred to the mission location. 】

"Oulu?!!!" Riolu screamed.

Shi Qiu subconsciously looked back and was surprised to find that except for Zoroark in his arms and his own body becoming virtual and undergoing a jump, the rest of the Pokémon, including Bubble Squirrel and Riolu, remained in place without any reaction.

It was completely different from the first mission transmission.

"Bubble Chinchilla!" Time was running out and there was no time to say anything more, so Shi Qiu shouted at the little gray mouse.

As his initial Pokémon, there is no need to say much about their tacit understanding. During the time when Riolu had psychological problems, he had to let Chinchilla replace him and become the temporary big brother to protect the family.

The foam squirrel nodded quickly under Shi Qiu's gaze.

After a familiar moment of dizziness, Shi Qiu stood in a place he had been to before.

Under the bright sunshine, it is still half forest and half ocean.

Shi Qiu was on the flat ground where the two met.

【Select the area to explore this time. 】

【Note: This choice will affect the subsequent tasks. 】

[1.A area forest] [2.D-5 area sea area]

The first option is already dark.

Seeing the familiar scenery and options, Shi Qiu did not have the same curiosity as the first time, but instead felt a sense of absurdity.

What if, when he triggered the large series of tasks "Nature and Time" for the first time, he chose to explore the sea instead of the forest?

"【This choice will affect the subsequent tasks." This hint contained much more and deeper meaning than he had imagined.

Shi Qiu clicked on the second option.

[Mission objective: Live in the island paradise for 7 days.]

[This mission is not dangerous at all, please relax and enjoy the 7 days in the park. ]

[Tip: Walking in Paradise, in order to coexist peacefully, the strength is locked below the professional level (level 20). ]

[It is detected that your strength does not meet the requirements, and now the blockade is carried out "10%...40%...80%...Blockade ends.]

Then, unlike the previous mechanical subtitles, a line of words slowly unfolded like a scroll.

[Act 1: Whale Call]

------

[Race: Shi Qiu (manually crossed out), human]

[Attributes: Grass, Fighting]

[Feature: Heaven's Grace (H)]

[Level: 18 (Ordinary Level )]

[Moves: Changpan's Power, Wave's Power. ]

Shi Qiu looked at the subtitles line by line and could clearly feel the vigorous energy in his body slowly entering the shackles.

"The quantity remains the same, but the outlet has become smaller and more difficult to use." A green light flashed on his hand as he muttered to himself.

The body did not feel the slightest bit of discomfort, and the two abilities could still be used normally, but it could no longer directly output high-power life energy, nor could it condense wave missiles, and its self-defense capability was reduced.

Shi Qiu calmly accepted the simulator's power blockade and was not too worried about his situation.

Judging from the first Celebi incident, he mostly played a supporting role in the mission, and only needed to witness the development of the plot without too many requirements on his upper limit of strength.

At the same time, a virtual map appeared in the corner, with the location of the island paradise thoughtfully marked on it.

Shi Qiu held Soraya in his arms, facing the boundless ocean.

"Nothing..." Shi Qiu frowned, took two steps forward, and looked at the simulated map.

"Do you want me to swim straight over?"

Judging from the distance he moved on the map, the map was not very large, and the island paradise was roughly a few dozen kilometers away from him.

The power of Changpan restores physical strength, and the power of waves relieves mental fatigue. In this case, the two abilities are used in a steady and alternating manner. Thinking about it this way, it is really possible to swim across alive.

"Zorua." Shi Qiu couldn't stand his calm appearance, so he shook his hand vigorously: "Is it possible for you to learn to surf? I have a Surfing move learning machine in my backpack."

In the game, as long as the elves in the team can learn this move, no matter how small the elf is, the protagonist controlled by the player can step on the back of the elf and gallop freely on the ocean.

Zoroark glared at the boy as if he were a fool.

Shi Qiu refused to be outdone and snorted, then took out a fishing rod from his bag: "I didn't count on you."

Come on, come on, take the bait, I can accept any small ball flying fish or fat fish.

With his characteristic [Grace (H)], no matter what it is, he will definitely eliminate the option of Magikarp, which has the largest proportion, at the first moment.

So! He is not worried at all!

However...what will happen when there are only N cards in the card pool, and you exclude all N cards?

There will be an empty tick.

3 hours later.

"..." Let's have an elf... Magikarp would be fine too...

Tian En: No, you don’t want to. I’d rather not have it than have a Magikarp to tarnish my reputation.

"Zorua..." Shi Qiu said hoarsely.

Zoroa yawned and replied weakly: "(What's wrong, did you catch anything? ...)"

He perked up and looked at Shi Qiu, who was sitting still, with his posture unchanged until now. He sighed softly: "(Wow! Is this what Shi Qiu meant by persistence is victory?)"

Zoroa thought back to the special training period before.

When he was practicing the illusion, his prank was discovered by Pickpocket Cat and the others. He fell into a slump and couldn't get motivated to hone his abilities for a long time.

If he couldn't even fool a professional pickpocket cat, how could he possibly fool Zoroark?!

Is Shi Qiu bluffing him?!
