Pokémon: Encounter

Lin Mu and Miss Joey on the side looked at Nan Fang in surprise, with somewhat bewildered eyes.

"Well, I participated in a college competition before, and I accidentally won a prize, so I got the contact information of the big guys at that time."

"It's said to be Chairman Guan's call, so it must be his secretary who has the final say. Otherwise, how could a commoner like me disturb such a big leader so easily? You're overthinking it~"

Lin Mu curled his lips and said, "It would be very impressive if you could tell others that you could contact someone's top secretary!"

Nan Fang changed the subject and quickly started looking on the list.

"Nika...Nika...got it!"

After saying that, Nan Fang immediately dialed the other party's number.

The phone rang several times before the other party answered.

"Hello...Who is..."

A lazy female voice came from the other side.

"Ahem, hello, sorry to bother you. I'm Nan Fang, the captain of the flower-planting team in the previous college competition. Do you still remember me?"

"You also gave me a Tan-sama Pokémon egg..."

"Wow!!!"

There was a scream from the other side, and then there was a slight rustling sound, as if... someone was putting on clothes?

Nan Fang was stunned and looked at the clock in the room.

Oh my! I was so anxious that I forgot there is a time difference between the two places!

It's ten o'clock in the morning now, but it seems like it's just after two in the morning over there!

Nan Fang suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"Nanami-kun! Is it really you!?"

"You finally contacted me!"

"It's really hard for me to wait for you!"

It seemed that she had simply cleaned up. Nika's voice now sounded somewhat crisp, and... strangely excited?

Although they used a foreign common language, both Lin Mu and Joey next to them had some basic knowledge of it.

The other party's tone sounded somewhat ambiguous, and the two of them couldn't help but look at each other strangely.

"Ahem, foreigners are more enthusiastic, you all know that."

Nan Fang's face turned red, but then it disappeared in an instant, and he spoke seriously into the phone.

"I'm sorry to bother you so late, but there's something urgent going on."

"There are some things I want to consult with you, a native of Puju."

As the captain of Puju at the time, and having spoken to Nanfang privately later, Nanfang felt that Nika must know a lot of inside information.

"Of course!"

"After all, you are our prophet!"

"I will definitely answer all your questions!"

"Oh! That's probably what they say. The language of growing flowers is still a little difficult for me, but it's really charming!"

It can be heard that the girl was quite happy to receive the call from the South.

Hearing this, Joey immediately nodded at the two of them, indicating that he was ready to leave.

Lin Mu had heard Nan Fang talk about this before, so he was not surprised and nodded in response to Joey.

"Are you coming to our Padi... oh no, is it Puju?"

"Great! When? I'll pick you up at the airport!"

Faced with Nika's enthusiasm, Nan Fang really couldn't hold it back anymore.

To be honest, I didn't really care about the prophecy and didn't really believe it, so I just left it there.

But now, not only did he train the charcoal servant that was given to him, but he also evolved it into a blue flame blade ghost. And now, he even needed help from others.

"Ahem... Actually, I don't know if you believe it or not, but I have already had some knowledge of the research institutes in Area Zero under the giant pit."

"Also, the charcoal servant you gave me has now evolved into a blue flame blade demon."

"Besides, it's up to you. I actually prefer the name Padiya."

"Really!!!"

Nika's voice suddenly increased several times, but she immediately forced herself to calm down and spoke in a low voice.

"Of course I believe it!"

"Because I never told you in detail about what happened in the giant pit before! And you actually already know that there are several research institutes in that place!"

"And as far as I know, the items required for the evolution of Tan-sama can only be found on some specific Pokémon unique to Padiya!"

"You are indeed the person whose prophecy was written on the slate!"

slate?

If Nika hadn't mentioned the South, she would have forgotten about it, but suddenly she felt something was strange.

Forget it, let’s talk about important things first.

"Well, let's get back to the point! What I want to ask you now is, will the Pokémon in the giant pit, whether they are ancient or future species, show any symptoms?"

"Like feeling weak and having no energy?"

Nan Fang agreed without blushing or beating his heart, and then quickly asked.

Um...

Nika was silent for a long time.

"In theory, they generally don't have the symptoms you describe."

"Otherwise our homes wouldn't have begun to slowly fall under their attack. If they had these weaknesses..."

Nan Fang's heart was lifted.

"Oh, right! If you must say it."

"I remember that during a raid, we successfully captured a Pokémon similar to Donka, but its entire body was made of metal. Our losses were quite heavy that time!"

"It's the Future Pokémon, Iron Track."

"Yes! That's what those doctors said! You really have been to Padilla! Great! We are finally saved!"

Nan Fang thought of the man he had fought against before.

"Then, we collected a kind of prop from it, a capsule device equipped with strange energy."

"We call it 'driving energy.'"

"Then, after the iron track woke up, it seemed that it had lost this prop, so it slowly began to become listless, and finally fell into a long sleep."

"After that, no matter if we bring the 'Driving Energy' closer to it, or move it closer to the giant pit, it will become lively again!"

"In the end, we released the iron track back to Area Zero and only kept the tool for research purposes."

"Because I experienced it myself, I know it very well."

"I wonder if this has helped you?"

Nika asked carefully, afraid that she had missed any details.

The South is silent.

Driving energy.

A special item that only appears with a probability on paradoxical Pokémon such as future or ancient Pokémon.

The South still has some impression of this.

The characteristics of paradoxical Pokémon are actually quite simple.

The characteristic of ancient species will only be ancient activity, while the characteristic of future species will only be quark charging.

The function of driving energy should only be to enhance their condition, but I didn't expect it to have this effect.

"Is this the only driving energy you have?"

As soon as Nan Fang asked the question, he felt a little confused.

I was also a researcher before. No matter what, even if the number of research subjects was sufficient, I would never give them to outsiders easily, let alone a foreigner who had nothing to do with it.

"Sorry, to be honest, I actually have a paradoxical Pokémon from the future by my side."

"Its condition is somewhat dangerous now, which is the state we discussed before."

"So I thought I'd give you a call to see if there's any solution."

"but..."

Nika was stunned. He was indeed the one who made the prophecy!

Even the paradox Pokémon can be captured?

"I'll go and tell them!"

"Wait for my news! Tomorrow! I will definitely mail the driving energy to you!"

"No! I will deliver it to you personally!"

After saying that, Nika hung up the phone in a hurry.

Leaving Nan Fang and Lin Mu standing there in a daze.

"You kid, are you so popular with women?"

"You can even trick a foreign girl into this degree?"

Nan Fang rolled his eyes at Lin Mu.

Although it feels a bit unauthentic and the chance of success is not high.

I can only hope that those local scholars can give me a better solution.

If it really comes to the point where there is no other choice, Nan Fang can only choose to ignore martial ethics, forcibly subdue the Iron Warrior, and then take it back to its hometown.

The next day, around eight o'clock in the evening.

"Nanfang classmate...I..."

"It's okay. I've already roughly guessed it. I just wanted to ask you to try my luck and see if there is any other way."

"Now it seems that I have no choice but to go to Padiya myself."

"Huh!? Oh my god, now that you put it like that, I don't know if I should tell you another thing."

"Forget it. Although I really hope you can come to Padiya in person now, I have to be loyal to the person who entrusted me with the task!"

"I must work hard on what I promised you!"

Hearing that things seemed to be taking a turn for the better, Nan Fang regained his spirits.

"Although this piece of driving energy is needed for research, and our research institute only has this one piece, so I really can't give it to you..."

"But I found out!"

"There is another piece of driving energy. Because of the previous request for help and cooperation with other countries, it was acquired by a large company that studies ancient fossils and strange stones!"

"I refuted them at the time. Didn't they say that research should be above everything else? Didn't they say that research can't be compared with money and vulgar things?"

"They actually told me that shamelessly! Because they gave too much!?"

“I’m really pissed off!!!”

Study paleontological fossils and like strange and bizarre stones?

"Nika! Are you talking about the Dewen Manufacturing Co., Ltd. in South Island?"

Nan Fang asked out loud.

"Ah... I think it's called this name. You know it? Are they so famous?"

"It's not bad. The Pokémon navigator, detection mirror, diving equipment and some special Poké Balls you use are all made by them. They are probably ranked among the top in the world."

"...".

"Anyway, thank you for the information, Nika! I'm grateful for your kindness. Next time I go to Padia, I'll definitely treat you to a meal!"

"Really!? I'm really looking forward to it! But I still hope I really helped you!"

"Of course! It helps me a lot! Thanks, Nika!"

"Oh, and one more thing! Your use of idioms is really nice! Bye!"

After hanging up the phone, Nan Fang breathed a sigh of relief.

Then I opened my phone and checked my bank card balance.

"Hiss... No problem! Hope is a good thing!"

After saying that, he began to pack his luggage.
