Pokémon: An Encounter with You

"(Then do you want to join us?)" the whale asked with its round eyes wide open, "(I can carry you.)"

Although it was the first time that Howler Whale encountered these two magical creatures, he had a high degree of favorability towards Shi Qiu.

Nanny Mambo and the Thorn Dragon King looked at each other, and after a moment of silence, they said, "(You can join us if you don't mind.)"

"(You are too weak. It will be dangerous.)"

Too weak...

Zoroark felt as if an arrow had pierced his heart.

Indeed, it didn't matter that he was the weakest one when he had his brothers around. But now that Shi Qiu's strength was blocked, he probably couldn't even beat a kid like him. He had to shoulder the burden and work harder!

Protect your own teenagers!

Zoroya gritted his teeth, and his big eyes, which had originally looked melancholy, became full of fighting spirit.

"Okay, thank you for your help then." Shi Qiu responded obediently.

This team is full of big guys. Greninja and Thorindra both have the potential to be promoted to peak combat power. Traveling with them and not seeking death can directly ensure your safety in the future.

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

"You got lost from the tribe?"

"(No, I escaped from the tribe.)" The howler whale shook its tail.

[Race: Howler Whale]

[Attribute: Water]

【Features: Water curtain】

[Carry props: None]

[Level: 39 (Elite High Level)]

[Moves learned: Jump (mastered), Shout, Scare, Water Gun, White Mist, Water Wave, Heavy Impact, Salt Water, Tidal Wave, Diving, Bounce, Mount Tai, Sleep, Instant Amnesia...]

Shi Qiu raised his eyebrows in surprise when he saw the word "Mastery" jump up on the panel.

This Howler is quite good. Although its characteristic is the ordinary "Water Curtain" instead of the previous hidden characteristic of "Sense of Oppression" of [God's Howler King], the Water Curtain is actually more suitable for him.

[Water Curtain]: Wrap yourself in a water curtain to prevent yourself from getting burned. When a Pokémon that is in a burned state gains this trait, the burned state will be cured.

This is just one of the ways it is presented in the game and in the illustrated guide. With the water curtain, the Howler Whale will be more adept at controlling the water element.

But what does this leap mean?

It was the first time that Shi Qiu saw proficiency in an elf that was not his own, especially in this skill that was completely harmless and useless.

“(How can it be useless?)” Hearing Shi Qiu’s question, the whale said, “(I gained happiness.)”

"(Come, let me show you.)"

As he spoke, he puffed up his belly and jumped up and down from the water with great elasticity. He lightly touched the sea surface and then jumped up quickly again. He looked very skilled and had great skills.

Tokiaki & Zoroark: !!!

The Howler whale acted too quickly and didn't even give them a heads up. The man and the elf were tossed around on his back, and after the third time, they lost their balance and were thrown into the sea.

"Whale roar!" "(Whale roar!)"

Nanny Mambo sighed. As the most reliable big sister in the family, she turned her fins and fished Shi Qiu and Soraya out of the sea.

Godard Duck came over and used his mental power to control the water, removing the water droplets on Shi Qiu's body bit by bit.

"(Please bear with me for a while.)"

Nanny Mambo's voice was soft, yet filled with apology and helplessness.

“(The roaring whale and the little crocodile are just two people who have not grown up. They quarrel with each other every day, just like a newborn baby.)”

Without the Gotha Duck's care, the little alligator ran away. When it saw the howler whale having fun, it flapped its legs and ran over to it.

As for the bellowing whale, he was having so much fun that he didn't even notice that there were two people missing from his back.

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

"(I'm sorry.)" The roaring whale lowered his eyes in grievance, and together with the little saw crocodile behind him, he bent down to apologize to Shi Qiu.

The little saw crocodile also said sorry and came to his senses.

That's not right. It's not my fault. Why should I apologize too...

"It's okay, it's okay." Shi Qiu laughed.

The species of Homarus is born to scare people. It likes to scare people by suddenly spraying the seawater stored in its body from the nostrils above its eyes. After it stores seawater in its body, it will become like a ball and can bounce off the ground. The more seawater it stores, the higher it jumps.

It is his nature to jump and bounce, but it is extremely rare to find someone who likes it enough to master the Leap, like this roaring whale.

After spending a day together, Shi Qiu also gained some in-depth understanding of them.

The three highest-level Pokémon are the heads of the family, responsible for protecting their safety, finding the way, and taking care of the children.

The Gotha Duck has a calm personality. Although it is a little lower in rank than the Howler Whale, it is twice as reliable.

He used his mental power very well. Although he was only at the elite level, his mental energy was enormous. He controlled it with ease, and even surpassed Chen Liu's previous hunting swallowtail butterfly. He helped Shi Qiu a lot.

The little alligator and the roaring whale are the mascots of the team. They make noise every day to make everyone happy and ease the atmosphere.

Of course, there are also troublesome times when traveling together.

Usually, they were carried by a whale to roam in the sea. If they did not find an island to rest before dark, Nanny Mambo, King Thorn, and Golduck could rest in the water. But the whale was carrying Shi Qiu and Zoroa, as well as the little crocodile and the Greninja, who were not very willing to sleep in the sea, so it was not convenient to rest at night.

At this time, the howler whale will show a more reliable side, being able to float up and act as a temporary ultra-small island.

Occasionally, they would encounter ill-intentioned Megalodons or elf tribes such as the Broken Wheel, but with the powerful combat power of Greninja and Kingdrake, they could repel them all at a rate of ten to one.

Noon the next day.

As usual, Greninja used the Flying Water Shuriken to repel several malicious Megalodons, but was accidentally bitten on the arm by one of them.

Nanny Mambo and Shi Qiu found an island and carefully treated his arm. The howler whale was in a daze on the beach nearby, not jumping up, and looked unhappy.

"What's wrong with him?" Shi Qiu pointed at the roaring whale and asked in a low voice.

"(Normal.)" Greninja said while enduring the pain.

"(Whenever I or the Thorn Dragon King gets hurt, he feels bad for a while.)"

"(Maybe they feel they can't help us very well.)" Nanny Mambo added.

The Thorn Dragon King was standing nearby, and upon hearing this, he also said, “(The Howler Whales are in the tribe, and the entire tribe has always been bullied by the Megalodons. Even the Howler Whale King who is swimming with them can’t protect them well.)”

“(So after he left the tribe, he met us and heard about… the island paradise, and he was excited to go and look for it.)”

"(He probably thinks that these megalodon sharks attacked us because of him...)"
