Pokémon: Encounter

Its entire body is covered with shiny blue feathers. The beautiful feathers are azure and transparent, crystal clear and smooth, as if they were made of ice crystals.

It has a crest of three dark blue angular feathers on its head, red eyes, and a short grey beak, the same colour as its long, thin legs.

The most eye-catching thing is its long, colorful dark blue tail. It is even longer than the entire body of the Articuno, and the color of the crown echoes from beginning to end. The Articuno flying gracefully with its long tail fluttering is like a dignified lady walking gracefully on the red carpet. Its body is well-proportioned, like a work of art.

“It’s so beautiful!!!”

Xiao Rui said loudly and excitedly.

"Well, it's okay. After all, it's a divine beast, and it's the only one of its kind. It really wouldn't make sense if it wasn't special."

Nan Fang pursed his lips and quietly wiped his chin with his hand.

"Senior Long! Could it be that you have already subdued Articuno?"

"How is that possible? We are just friends. It just trusts me more."

Articuno landed on the ground, walked towards Long Kong, stretched out its neck and rubbed Long Kong's hands affectionately.

"Can I...can I touch it?"

Long Kong glanced at Articuno, then nodded at Xiao Rui.

"of course."

"Wow! It's cool! So comfortable!"

"Hehe, he is just a child after all." Nan Fang curled his lips as he stood aside.

"You can try it, too. Articuno agrees~"

"Well, then... okay then!"

"Hiss! It's really comfortable!"

Nan Fang stretched out his hand and felt it was cool and smooth, but not as hard as ice. Instead, it was unexpectedly soft.

Just like that, Nan Fang and Xiao Rui narrowed their eyes, enjoying the opportunity of easily catching a divine beast for the first time in their lives.

"Woo~"

Unexpectedly, Articuno seemed to be very comfortable as well and whimpered softly.

After the greetings, Long Kong also communicated with Articuno about the matters of Team Rocket and the other two divine birds.

Articuno shook his head and nodded.

"We are lucky. It seems that Articuno has not encountered those two people yet. As long as we guard Articuno, we can successfully stop their actions. The next step is to wait for them to fall into our trap. After all, if we really want to summon Lugia, the three mythical birds are indispensable."

Nan Fang nodded. Now that Articuno was one of his own, it really helped a lot. He had himself, Xiao Rui, Long Kong and Articuno on his side. To be honest, it was really hard to lose with this configuration.

Everyone gradually relaxed. After a while, a bright moon slowly climbed up into the sky, and Longkong began to prepare dinner for everyone. Articuno had nothing to do, so he just stayed with the others.

"Xiao Rui, didn't you say you wanted to challenge the gym? How's the result?"

With nothing to do, Nan Fang took the initiative to ask Xiao Rui.

"Hey, Brother Nan, look!"

Xiao Rui proudly took out his badge box.

"Not bad~ Seven already? One more will allow us to participate in the Peony Conference at the beginning of next year! If we win the championship, we will have the opportunity to challenge the Four Heavenly Kings of Flower Planting and the Flower Planting Alliance Champion."

"Hiss...but I seem to have heard someone mention it last time, it seems that we don't have a current champion here, only a former champion. Well, but it doesn't matter, if you win you might be the champion!"

Nan Fang patted Xiao Rui on the shoulder and encouraged him.

Xiao Rui was stunned for a moment, as if he suddenly thought of something, and then looked towards the south excitedly.

"Brother Nan!"

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Nan Fang looked at the ten-year-old boy in front of him with a smile.

Xiao Rui's eyes were bright and he stared at the south. It seemed as if there was a flame burning in his eyes!

"Eh? Looking at your eyes, are you going to fight me?" Nan Fang was embarrassed.

"Brother Nan, please teach me!"

As he spoke, Xiao Rui had already stepped back a few steps, took out his Poké Ball, and was eager to try.

At this moment, Nan Fang inexplicably thought of a young man in his heart. He was wearing a straw hat, short-sleeved T-shirt and shorts, holding a bug net in his hand. He stood in front of Nan Fang, confidently took out a Poké Ball, and said.

"Bug-type Pokémon are very powerful. Let me show you some of their power!"

Then, the BGM of "thump thump thump thump" began to sound.

The memory of the dead suddenly hits the south.

"Okay, let's play a game! I recently captured a new Pokémon, I want to show it to you!"

"It's decided to be you! Tan-shi!"

"carbon!"

"Wow! It's a Pokémon I've never seen before! In that case, I'll send it out!"

"Come out! Squirtle!"

"Jenny Jenny!"

"It looks like you've met a new friend too! This Squirtle looks pretty good!"

"Hey, it's not just as simple as just being good!"

"I'm going to fuck!"

"Squirtle! Use the water gun!"

"Then let's do it too! Tan-sama! Use Spark!"

Ryusora and Articuno sat on the side, watching the two men who were using young, beginner Pokémon and fighting back and forth.

"This is what humans and Pokémon were like in the beginning."
