Pokémon: Encounter

"That's it then~ Your Blade Demon and Xiao A, and this one, um... I will definitely take good care of them!"

Yaojia Town.

Professor Lin Mu looked at the three handsome and rare Pokémon around him and waved goodbye happily towards the south.

"Tsk...this old naughty boy!"

Nan Fang cursed and turned away.

"Hehehe, now, there are only a few of us left~ Don't be afraid~ I will definitely take good care of you! Hiss..."

Absol felt a chill run down his spine and took a few steps back warily.

The Blue Blade Ghost and the Iron Warrior, who only had eyes for each other, completely ignored the strange old man beside them.

Two weeks ago.

"Everyone is fine, only the Iron Warrior is a bit troublesome. He doesn't obey me, so I can't take him away!"

Nan Fang rubbed his chin and thought.

"Who told you to always think about me?"

"Although Xiaotie has been getting along well with everyone during this period, and I am a little reluctant to let him go, this is not the best place for him to live after all."

"That Area Zero, that giant pit, the current Padilla, oh no, it's Puju! It should still exist."

"If you ask me, I'd take Xiaotie there to have a look if I get a chance. Maybe it will be suitable there."

Bai Ruoruo looked at the two little ones, one black and one white, in front of her and said with some regret.

"Well... Puju is a little too far away from us. It takes more than ten hours to get there by the fastest plane, and the tickets are super expensive!"

"Besides, even though the Iron Warrior is pretty close to us, if it were someone else!"

"Ahem, don't tell me you've forgotten that when it first came a while ago, it almost destroyed the senior citizen activity center in our town..."

Bai Ruoruo suddenly shuddered.

The scene at that time suddenly came back to my mind.

If Nan Fang had not controlled Xiao Tie's riot in time that day, to be honest, the properties they have now would not be enough to pay the compensation.

"Then what do you think we should do? We can't just leave Xiaotie at home alone!"

Bai Ruoruo was a little depressed.

I really want to go shopping in a big city...

"Leave it at home... Hey! Got it!"

"I'll go check on Lao Lin!"

Do it when you think of it.

Dr. Lin Mu from Yaojia Town.

He is one of the leading authorities on Pokémon, and his main research topic is "the relationship between Pokémon and humans."

It was he who advocated the use of attributes to classify Pokémon, and he also served as the highest-level advisor to the Pokémon League.

Professor Lin Mu was once a very good trainer. He was good friends with Granny Kikuko, one of the Four Heavenly Kings. But later, he chose to retire and began to study the life of Pokémon. Granny Kikuko thought he had become weak, so she began to distance herself from him.

These old stories were all told by the old man himself when Nan Fang and Lin Mu were drinking.

He said that he was the most beautiful girl in Beijing back then, and the people chasing after him could line up from Beijing to Jincheng.

But now, he still lives alone in the mountains, and has become an old man who specializes in distributing primary Pokémon to new trainers.

In his own words, the tree stands out from the crowd.

And his current life is also his own choice.

His favorite career was not delayed at all.

Occasionally, researchers from the city would come to this remote area to visit him.

And Nan Fang, as the youngest doctor of Pokémon genetics ever.

It was also because of some bad things that I ended up in this small town.

When two people met for the first time, they had many common topics both academically and in life.

Because of this, the two became close friends regardless of age difference, and would occasionally visit each other to eat barbecue and drink wine.

Life is just like this~

"Oh~ It's already this time. I remember that kid Xiao Rui, he's a pretty good talent. I gave him the task of collecting the entire illustrated book, but I didn't expect that he and you guys are old acquaintances."

"Well, we should go and cheer him on."

"But it's a pity that no one gave an old man like me a free ticket. Alas, people have forgotten me since I left."

Mr. Lin lay down on the table in an extremely exaggerated manner, and was about to cry.

"Don't think I don't know. Research pioneers like you who still hold official positions can enter the venue freely and even have VIP seats if you want! If you don't want to go, just say you don't want to go. Don't play dumb!"

The South was very disdainful.

"What do you mean by pioneer? You make it sound like I'm no longer around. (ˉ▽￣～) Tsk~~"

At this time, the old man and the young man actually started arguing at the door of the Forestry Research Institute.

"Humph~ I have extremely important research to do during that time! I really can't get away. I will cheer for Xiao Rui through live broadcast at home!"

"By the way, this one next to you, this is the first time I've seen it in person!"

"It has the common characteristics of Gardevoir and Aledo, but it doesn't belong to either of them."

"This texture... If I'm not mistaken, it's somewhat similar to some of the Pokémon in the giant pit of Puju that was recently exposed."

"How did you get it?"

Lin Mu squinted his eyes, raised his head, looked towards the south with some excitement and asked.

"Then forget about it. Just tell me whether you agree or not!"

"I won't make it difficult for you. I'll leave the Blue Flame Blade Ghost with you for now, because now only the Blue Flame Blade Ghost can get along well with it, and it can help you lead the Iron Warrior."

Looking at the two little ones standing on the grass, their eyes shining, ready to start fighting again.

You call this friendly interaction?

Am I too old to understand current trends?

"Ahem... Alas, I've been studying too much lately and it gives me a headache..."

"My waist is a little sore too."

"It would be great if a disaster beast appeared in front of me at this moment so that I could study it~"

“I feel like I’ll be fine in no time!”

Old man Lin Mu's exaggerated acting skills appeared again. He blinked from time to time and glanced at the south.

(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻!!!

So in the end, we had the scene at the beginning.

"Ah, I'm sorry to have troubled you. Don't worry! I will be back soon!"

The south turned around without taking a cloud with it.

......

Landing.

Nan Fang and Bai Ruoruo walked out of the airport and came to Shanghu, the most prosperous city for flower growing.

Every country or region has an annual, most eye-catching official alliance conference.

The flower-growing stone and silver conference is held here.

The Stone and Silver Conference is the only Pokémon League Conference in the world that allows contestants to participate in multiple ways.

In addition to Trainers collecting eight gym badges, they can also participate by graduating from Pokémon Research School or passing the Pokémon League test.

Therefore, Xiao Rui, who participated in the competition by collecting badges, had the privilege of a free ticket.

There is a sacred fire lighting ceremony at the opening ceremony of the conference. The sacred fire will continue to burn during the competition. It is a flame that prays to the gods for the contestants and Pokémon to compete safely. It is said that the sacred fire is obtained from the body of Moltres.

Rules of the Conference.

The first four rounds were played with three Pokémon per player, on water, grass, ice, and rock. The 256 players drew lots to determine the venue for each round, and they needed to win consecutively to advance to the fifth round.

Starting from the fifth round, a normal battle field will be used. Each player can still use three Pokémon, and the match table will be determined by drawing lots.

Starting from the sixth round, the players who entered the quarterfinals began a full-scale battle of six against six.

Until the final champion is decided.

And the final champion will be qualified to challenge the four kings of today, and even win the league championship!

If you feel that your strength is not enough to challenge the king, you can temporarily save this qualification and come back when you feel you can.

Of course, temporary storage also has a time limit. It cannot be postponed indefinitely, but I heard that a year or two is still possible.

The final closing ceremony was held by Guan Qing, the alliance's supreme commander, who distributed souvenirs to each participant of the conference and ended with a fireworks display.

"There are so many people!"

"Xiao Nanzi, if Xiao Rui really wins the championship, will he challenge the Four Heavenly Kings?"

Bai Ruoruo chatted casually.

"Well... I think he will, but he may not succeed."

"Think about it, in addition to the Four Heavenly Kings, there are also eighteen exclusive Heavenly Kings in our country."

"Each of them is extraordinary. Some of them are even as powerful as the Four Heavenly Kings."

"So, the four most outstanding ones among them are really powerful."

"But there are also people who say that the older generation wants to train outstanding newcomers."

"Alas, these are not things we can delve into."

"All we do these days is beat drums and gongs, cheer, eat, drink, have fun and watch fireworks!"

Nan Fang raised his neck and started running while pulling Bai Ruoruo.

She looks a little more excited than Bai Ruoruo.
