Pokémon: Encounter

"(Hey, Senior Sister, look at that little idiot! Does it like lying in the snow so much? Ahahaha!)"

Absol glanced at Gyarados who was grinning beside him.

"(Although it is a little weak now, it joined the team before you anyway.)"

"(Hahaha, it's not important. I've already asked Senior Brother! It was only a few days earlier than me. If you insist, we are from the same period! I won't actively bully it. If it doesn't accept it, let it beat me up~)"

Absol shook his head. In this regard, you, a big silly dragon, are quite smart.

"Let's go home! That's all for today!"

Hearing Nanfang's call, Absol and Gyarados returned to Nanfang.

Nan Fang picked up the tannins and led everyone back. Usually when there was nothing to do, Nan Fang didn't want to keep them locked in the Poké Ball all the time.

After all, Yuhong Town is also a suburban town, so after saying hello to the neighbors and getting to know them, Nan Fang just let them wander around as long as they were not too far away.

It hasn't completely frozen yet, so the small river in the forest has become Gyarados's habitat.

“It’s quite warm~”

Nan Fang said while holding the unconscious Tan Xiao Shi.

Maybe Jian Zimian was annoyed by Tan Xiaoshi, so the dosage of sleeping powder was a bit too large this time, and Tan Xiaoshi showed no signs of waking up.

Nan Fang gave Jian Zimian a mild reprimand.

After staying at home for half a month, the snow season has passed, which means the mid-winter season has officially begun. The temperature outside has begun to drop sharply, and the amount of snow has increased significantly.

Fortunately, the backyards of Nanfang and Bai Ruoruo's families are connected and have enough area.

Someone was hired to build a temporary prefabricated steel house in advance, and it was equipped with floor heating, so even a creature as big as a Gyarados could keep warm inside.

That morning, Nan Fang took his Pokémon to the forest for morning exercises as usual.

I ran into Mr. Huang who was walking back.

Uncle Huang is a famous winter swimming enthusiast in the town.

Nan Fang saw Uncle Huang muttering as he walked, and his expression seemed to be confused about something.

"Hey, you're back, Uncle Huang. Why are you back so early today? Is it too cold in the river?" Nan Fang took the initiative to greet him.

"It's Xiaonan, but actually not really. I actually encountered a strange thing today that felt a bit evil! So I hurried back to report to Mayor Fang!"

Uncle Huang looked surprised.

"What's the matter? Want to talk to me first?" Nan Fang asked with interest.

"That's fine. After all, you are so powerful that you shouldn't be in any danger. Oh, no! Let's go find the mayor! I'm afraid that your curiosity will cause you to get into trouble again!"

Yuhong Town is at least the birthplace of Nanfang. He has not encountered anything special in the past twenty years. Seeing Mr. Huang's attitude, Nanfang became even more curious. After Nanfang's soft and hard persuasion, Mr. Huang finally told him the inside story.

"Today, I went into the water from the upstream river beach as usual, and swam all the way downstream. Then I put on the clothes that Mosquito Repellent Tadpole had prepared in advance and walked back upstream to get things. It's always like this twice a week!"

"But today is suddenly different!"

"When I swam down the river, I didn't see my tadpole! Normally I should have arrived a long time ago, but this time it took longer than before!"

"Uh...could it be that you accidentally swam to a fork in the river?" Nan Fang was somewhat disappointed.

"Tsk, kid, I swim every day, how can I be wrong? Don't interrupt me!"

"...".

"I thought to myself, I can't go ashore naked! I'll freeze to death! So I just swam along the shore for a while. I thought, what if I swam to a fork in the river?"

"...".

Just be happy.

"But no! As I continued to swim, I found that the water was getting warmer and warmer! And when I looked up, oh my god! It didn't matter! I found that the surrounding environment was different from before!"

"More importantly! The surrounding trees are lush and green! There are also many blooming flowers on the shore!"

"I thought, this is not right! It's winter now!"

"I was shocked at the time! I didn't dare to go forward any further! What if I couldn't come back? Then I quickly swam to the shore and ran back along the shore!"

"After a while, I finally saw the mosquito coil tadpoles! Then I quickly put on my clothes!"

"Now that I have the Pokémon, I feel more confident. I plan to go back and take a look."

"This time when I went back, I never saw that forest that looked like spring again."

"I immediately felt a little scared, so I hurried back, and then I ran into you."

Uncle Huang finished speaking in one breath, stamped his feet to slow down his body, looking frightened.

"Land of Peach Blossoms?"

This word immediately popped up in Nan Fang's mind.

After saying goodbye to Uncle Huang, Nan Fang thought for a while.

"Go, go and have a look."
