Pokémon: An Encounter with You

After Shi Qiu learned about it from the pickpocket cat, he appeared in front of him leisurely and continued to deceive him with earnest words... No, rather, he encouraged the little fox earnestly and gave him some spiritual chicken soup.

“Setbacks are common… How can you see the rainbow without the storm?”

"..."

"It took the Pickpocket Cat and his companions a while to discover this illusion. It's already very good..."

"When a person ventures into the world, he may feel tired and confused sometimes, but his dream is still shining! This world is never short of ideas, dreams, or plans, but it lacks action. I have planned to get up early and exercise for a long time, but I can always find a reason to give up in bed..."

(At this moment, Shi Qiu was standing on the Magic Fairy Castle.)

"..."

"Persistence is victory!"

After a series of combined punches, all kinds of great truths and nonsense were thrown at Shi Qi. He kept talking nonsense, and even he himself didn't know what the hell he was talking about. He was fooled by the little fox and had no idea what was going on.

"(That makes sense!)"

Soraya couldn't remember what was said, but he just remembered the last sentence: "Perseverance is victory."

The main point is that you say a lot and you are right.

------

Pull your eyes back.

"(Wow! Is this what Shi Qiu meant by persistence is victory?)"

Although Zoroark had regained his spirits since the last time, he still wasn't quite sure what this sentence really meant.

At this moment, seeing Shi Qiu sitting in meditation for three hours straight while fishing without moving at all, I vaguely understood his persistence.

As expected of his trainer!

Shi Qiu: "...Come and support me, my body is frozen."

Zoroa: ...

The little fox leaned against Shi Qiu's back. Shi Qiu's body was paralyzed, his limbs were stiff, and he stood up in a very uncoordinated manner.

He looked at Soraya's indescribable and meaningful eyes, and his mind was trembling.

No! His lofty image in Soraya's heart cannot collapse!

Watching this cub grow up, he could basically figure out what the little fox was thinking. He coughed twice to cover it up:

"You see, that's how it went, right? We persisted for three hours, or 180 minutes, and then that's it..."

"Isn't that right? I spent three hours here in total, 1, 2, and 3, which is six and a half hours in total, and then..."

......

Shi Qiu: Save me, Tian En.

A pleasant and clear sound resounded through the sky.

Not far away, a group of Laplaces appeared.

Tian En: Hey~ There are only N cards in this card pool, so I can only find a group of SSR cards for you from another card pool...

Shi Qiu's eyes lit up: "So, look, aren't these dragon riders here? This is what persistence means to win!"

Zoroya half doubted and half believed: "(They weren't fished out by you either...)"

Shi Qiu interrupted him: "Did I last three hours?"

"(……yes.)"

"After these three hours, will the dragon riders come over?"

“(…It seems so.)”

“This is persistence and victory.”

Although there is no causal relationship between the two, only the time sequence.

"(Oh, I see...)" Zoroark followed Shi Qiu's idea and believed it naturally.

Shi Qiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief: his image, which was in jeopardy today, was saved once again.

-----------

Shi Qiu held Zoroark in his arms and waved at Laplace and the others.

Not to mention Shi Qiu's terrifying affinity, the dragon riders are inherently pure and kind, so they would naturally agree to help this young man.

"Thanks so much, Laplace."

On the sea, Shi Qiu sat on the broad back of one of the dragons and put his face against her slender neck.

The cool and comfortable touch made Shi Qiu squint his eyes happily.

"(It's okay, just sit comfortably!)" Chenglong turned around and rubbed the boy happily, the man and the elf stuck close to each other.

She did not hide her happiness and joy on her face. It was not easy to stand out from the many dragons and get the qualification to carry this young man!!!

There were also other dragon riders who approached quietly from behind and gently nudged Shi Qiu's hand with their heads.

"(If you don't feel comfortable sitting, you can switch to me!)" he whispered.

Shi Qiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he and Zoroark were used to it and treated all the dragon riders equally with ease.

Ride among the dragons without getting wet.

------

"(You guys are going to the island park too?)" Chenglong asked in surprise, "(Do you know the location?)"

"Yes, I know it from a map." Shi Qiu said.

It seems that this island paradise is also the destination of dragon riders.

"(It turns out that the island paradise really exists.)" a dragon sighed.

“(We’ve been looking for this for a long time.)”

After listening to what they said, Shi Qiu asked them for information: "I also got the map by chance, but I don't really know much about it... Can you tell me about this island paradise?"

The dragon that was carrying him answered him softly: "(There is such a legend in the ocean.)"

"(It was spread by word of mouth among the elves living in the ocean.)"

In the boundless ocean, there is an unfixed island floating on the sea, which is collectively called "Paradise". It is said that there are countless abundant foods, a beautiful and comfortable living environment, and elves of all races who put aside their natural enemies and live and play together without disputes.

It is as beautiful as a fairy tale and is the dream place for all the sea elves who have heard of the legend.

It is a paradise for ocean elves.

"(So, we are very grateful for the news you brought.)" She lowered her head and smiled.

With the specific address, they saw an island in less than half a day.

They reached the Ocean Park easily.

It was like a dream, the dragon riders were still a little bit unbelieving and looked around the place curiously.

Shi Qiu said goodbye to them and set foot on this land.

The place is bustling with birds singing and flowers blooming.

Various kinds of elves that are extremely precious outside often appear here.

After walking a few steps, he found the Mini Dragonite and the Haxorus clan, as well as a few honest Dragonites, who waved at Shi Qiu with a smile.

In the lake, a Milotic used its tail to slap the nearby Gyarados. The Gyarados was hit so hard that stars appeared in its eyes, but it did not get angry. Instead, it smiled awkwardly. Shi Qiu could see some caution and grievance on its ferocious face.

"This is... Fiona?!"

A cute elf held a handful of precious fruits and called out to Shi Qiu shyly.

"Thank you." Shi Qiu took it and couldn't help but smile. The bright light spread from the palm of his hand to Fiona's body.

Seeing the young man happily taking it and smiling so beautifully, Fiona blushed slightly and ran away.

Manaphy, the prince of the sea, is a genderless Pokémon, but he is the only mythical Pokémon with obvious offspring. His offspring, Fiona, is as rare as Manaphy, but its strength and qualifications are only at the level of ordinary Pokémon.

Just like the forest guarded by Celebi before, is there also a Manaphy guarding here?
