Pokémon: Encounter

Chapter 20 Entering the Mountain

Yao Qiqi went to rest with her parents. Bai Ruoruo and Nan Fang were still outside.

"Why did you ask that just now?" Bai Ruoruo was puzzled.

Nan Fang looked up and around, then moved slightly towards a place with fewer people.

“It sounds a bit cold to say this, but although this is indeed a natural disaster, the extent of the damage in Hongqi County is not actually that serious.”

"Are you still human? There might be people trapped in there! How can you say such things?!"

"Don't worry, that's why I sound a little cold. I'm just making a rational comment. The trapped people have been rescued one after another, and the best news is that there are no casualties. Maybe you want to say it's because of Yao Qiqi's parents, but my point is that the severity of this mudslide is not enough for Absol to appear."

"In recent years, the discussion of 'Absol brings disaster' has indeed decreased. But it is undeniable that Absol itself is a very rare Pokémon that can predict disasters, has a gentle temperament, and is very powerful."

"You understand what I mean."

Bai Ruoruo also became serious.

"You mean, this disaster is a man-made disaster rather than a natural disaster?"

"That possibility cannot be ruled out. After all, there are many mudslides of varying sizes in mountainous areas every year. Well, never mind. Absol is not something that ordinary people can subdue. I hope it is really okay."

"Let's just stay here for one night. We'll see what Yao Qiqi and her family think tonight and decide to leave tomorrow."

"OK, all right!"

......

Early the next morning.

"Kiki!"

The rain had basically stopped. Nan Fang and the other two came to visit Yao Qiqi's family early in the morning, and Bai Ruoruo came forward to ask Yao Qiqi.

"We are planning to go back today. After all, the disaster situation here has stabilized and it is time for us to go back. What do you think? Do you want to take your uncle and aunt with you?"

"Actually, I wanted to take them back with me, but they disagreed and insisted on staying here. They said they wanted to help other injured people. Then they asked me to go back with you, but I couldn't resist. So let's leave after breakfast."

"Okay! Let's go then."

Breakfast consisted of simple rice porridge, eggs and some pickled vegetables, but they had no choice in this situation. They were not pampered, so they enjoyed their breakfast quite happily.

At this moment, suddenly a young man ran to the square and shouted loudly.

"Oh no, oh no! I saw the Absol again! I just went to the mountain to inspect and saw it standing on the cliff again! This time I saw it very clearly! It was the Absol! It looks really scary!"

"It appears again! Is another disaster going to happen?" someone responded.

"That's impossible! The weather is so nice now! How could there be any disaster?"

"It can't be an earthquake!"

Everyone started talking at once, and a tense atmosphere suddenly spread.

"Everyone, please be quiet!" County Mayor Chen came out and took control of the situation.

"Anyway! The appearance of Absol may indicate something, but we can't just guess blindly! Now I need to organize a few people to go with me to check the situation so that we can come up with a plan. The rest of you should stay in an open area as much as possible! To prevent emergencies!"

At this time, Yao Zhengguo also came out, "I know some information about Absol, I'll go!"

Yao Qiqi looked nervous and said, "I'll go too!" Yao's mother also volunteered to step forward.

"Why are you two like this! Then I'll go too!" Yao Qiqi said anxiously.

Nan Fang looked at Bai Ruoruo's anxious and restless expression and shook his head helplessly.

"I'll go. Auntie and the county magistrate, you guys stay here and uncle will help me show the way. It's just the two of us. If there are too many people, it will easily irritate Absol."

Before Yao's father could say anything, Nan Fang called out Pidgeot and continued, "Uncle, you can take Kairos with you for emergency. My Pidgeot can take care of the two of us, and I know Absol better."

Everyone felt more confident when they saw the southern giant bird, which was different in size from the ordinary giant birds.

"Okay! Let's go!"

Yao's father was also a decisive man and came to a conclusion.

"Xiao Nan! Promise me that if anything unexpected happens to you, just take the Dabito and leave first, and don't worry about me!"

Nan Fang smiled, "It's okay Uncle Yao, trust me nothing will go wrong, I know what I'm doing. And there's no problem with Dabibird leading the two of us."

"Okay!" Father Yao nodded.

"Nan Fang! Thank you!" Yao Qiqi said with red eyes.

"Nanko-chan! I don't want you to push yourself! Be sure to stay safe! I'll wait for you to come back!"

Bai Ruoruo understood Nan Fang. He would never do anything without preparation, but she couldn't avoid worrying about him.

"Alright, alright! Don't act like you're sending us to the battlefield! Don't worry, I have some guesses of my own that I want to prove. Relax, let's go!"

After the decision was made, everyone watched Yao Zhengguo and Nan Fang go up the mountain together.

After walking halfway, Nan Fang suddenly said, "Uncle Yao, I'm going to the bathroom. Wait for me here."

Yao Zhengguo didn't think much about it. He agreed and sat down to rest.

Nan Fang carried Yao's father on his back and found a hidden place.

"Please do me a favor. Can you two help me protect Bai Ruoruo and the others who are staying in the square? Based on my experience, there won't be any natural disasters this time when we go up the mountain. Based on your uncle's description yesterday, I guess Absol must be injured and it is running away and hiding. I want to go and take a look at the situation. If there is anything wrong, I will ride on Pidgeot and take my uncle away."

After saying that, the man in black walked out from the shadows.

"Okay. But Nightingale is in the square by herself, so I still want to follow you."

"..."

Well, Nan Fang knew their temper and didn't say any more nonsense, "Thank you."

After saying thank you, Nan Fang walked back.

After reuniting with Yao's father, the two called out their respective Pokémon. Yao's father's Kairos was responsible for protecting the two of them closely, while the Southern Pidgeot was called by the Southern Party to scout the nearby area, fly back to meet up at regular intervals, and report immediately if there was any special situation.

Father Yao only has one Kairos, and mother Yao has one Vaporeon, and they stayed in the square. Nan Fang did not call out Jianzimian. Jianzimian has a more cheerful and cheerful personality, so he has to be careful in this activity. It will not be too late to call him out when necessary.

The two walked carefully in the forest, trying not to make loud noises. If they really encountered some wild Pokémon that they couldn't avoid, Kairos would be able to drive them away. Yao's father's Kairos was quite good, Nan Fang took a look and evaluated in his heart.
