Pokémon: Encounter

"Well... that fat guy only knew how to force me to drink. Luckily, I can drink without getting drunk. I took the initiative and attacked first."

"But the hangover feeling is still very uncomfortable..."

"Drinking makes you feel good for a while, but you will feel pain for a long time after waking up..."

"I definitely won't drink it next time!"

After the lively post-New Year party ended, Nan Fang woke up in his bed, covering his head.

It was another sunny morning, and the South was open for business as usual.

Although there were basically no people on the streets just after the Chinese New Year, the southerners did not need to go back to their hometowns to visit relatives like ordinary families, and this was in a small town where most of the people were older generations, so the southerners did not choose to close for a rest.

It's not that I want to curse anyone, but what if someone in their family has a headache, fever, or some other minor illness or disaster, and there is no immediate way to help them?

Nan Fang actually hopes that no one will come to his place for the whole day, which would be a kind of rest for him.

"It's a nice day today. How about taking everyone out for a walk? Anyway, there won't be many people anywhere at this time, and it will save a lot of trouble."

Looking back at Celebi and Tanshi who were still sleeping, Nanfang gave up the idea.

"It's New Year's Day, let these little guys sleep until they wake up naturally~"

Nan Fang finished washing up and put on his white coat.

After all, it's opening, so it's better to be formal.

Nan Fang yawned, put on another down jacket, and prepared to go out to clear the snow in front of the door.

He didn't notice that Celebi, who was lying beside him with his back to him, had a frown on his face and his eyes tightly closed, looking in some inexplicable pain.

Nanfang opened the door, and a beam of dazzling light suddenly flashed over, shining so brightly that Nanfang could not open his eyes.

"Damn, why is the sun so strong today!?"

Nan Fang raised his arms to resist.

"Rabbi!"

At this moment, Celebi suddenly woke up for some unknown reason, and its cry was obviously painful.

"what happened!?"

Nan Fang quickly turned around to check the situation, but for some reason, the dazzling light slowly spread in until it enveloped Nan Fang completely.

......

"Jiji!"

A few crisp bird calls.

Nanfang opened his eyes.

The biting cold wind, the vast white snow, the deserted streets, and the familiar and warm house all disappeared in that instant.

All that was left before my eyes were the spring-like grass, rivers, mountains and gullies.

Everything seemed so strange.

"Rabbi!"

"carbon?!"

The two little ones who were also awakened quickly came to Nanfang's side and looked at everything in front of them in confusion.

"...".

Nan Fang stood there in a daze.

The scene at this moment, strictly speaking, the situation at this moment, inexplicably made Nan Fang feel familiar.

"Am I wearing this... again?"

As a southerner who has experienced it all before, my emotions are relatively stable.

Nan Fang felt a lot more at ease because of the two little ones in front of him and the several Poké Balls on their waists.

Looking at Celebi at this time, his expression gradually changed from confusion at the beginning to horror.

It opened its eyes wide and flew around in confusion.

Nan Fang reached out and hugged the frightened little guy.

"It's okay! It's okay!"

"We are all here! Don't be afraid! Be good!"

Celebi, who was trembling in Nanfang's arms, slowly calmed down.

It gasped heavily, then looked towards the south with some apology.

"Compare..."

"It doesn't matter! No matter what happened! We are all here! We can all protect you!"

Looking at Celebi who had calmed down, Nan Fang finally asked.

"Celebi, are we here because of your ability?"

Celebi nodded dejectedly.

"So, in other words, I don't know whether this place is in my past or future for now, right?"

"From the looks of you, this should be where you used to live."

Celebi flew up from Nanfang's arms and silently circled around.

Then, Celebi folded his hands, looked toward the south timidly, and nodded again.

Nanfang glanced at Celebi's wings, which had healed but were still injured. He reached out and touched Celebi's round head.

"It's okay. We're here this time. I promise! No one can bully you again!"

"Don't look at me like this now, I'm an experienced veteran!"

"The kind that saves one's life~!"

"carbon!!!"

Tan Xiaoshi, who considered himself the eldest brother, also responded confidently.

Celebi then smiled and turned back into the happy little guy.

"Okay! Now let's take a look at what kind of era we are in!"

Throwing the cloak (white coat) behind him, Nan Fang strode forward confidently.
