Pokémon: Encounter

Why not just send the Iron Warrior back to present-day Padia?

One reason is that there is only one way to travel between the two places: by plane. A humanoid Pokémon like the Iron Warrior, which looks dangerous and does not exist in the current Pokémon Encyclopedia, cannot be boarded by ordinary civil airliners. By then, you may not even be able to leave the airport, let alone go abroad.

Another thing is that the current Iron Warriors are actually no different from his own family, so as long as there are other opportunities, Nan Fang must work hard for them.

Come to think of it, there wouldn't be so many concerns if I took the Iron Warrior to South Island.

They can just take the boat.

Moreover, due to some international issues, South Island must open up most of its transnational policies to flower planting.

After all, Nandao is an integral part of flower cultivation, and it is only a matter of time before it officially returns.

After looking at the balance of the bank card in his hand again, Nan Fang suddenly felt less confident.

We did make a lot of money from the last World Academy Competition, but after going through so many things, we had to support the welfare home.

Although there are still a hundred or so W on hand, it is already considered very wealthy for most people.

But what Nan Fang is about to face is the world-renowned Dewen Company, and these savings suddenly become a bit stretched.

"Alas, the opportunity to make big money is hard to come by..."

Nanfang, who had already arrived at the port of Lianyi City, sighed.

"How dare you say that? If I didn't sell paintings to support the family, you would be sitting on the side of the road starving! Here! Take it!"

After Bai Ruoruo finished speaking, she handed a bank card to Nan Fang like a wealthy woman.

"I still have some here. I'd be happy to help you in any way I can."

Nan Fang took it over servilely.

"I'll come back to perform once this matter is resolved! I'll definitely pay you back then!"

Originally, Bai Ruoruo was not planning to join the trip, but when she learned that the birthplace of the Pokémon Contest, which had only been popular for a year or two, was South Island, she resolutely packed her bags and joined the team heading to South Island.

"Woo!"

The ship's departure horn sounded, and passengers boarded the ship one after another and took their seats.

It seems that due to the rise of gorgeous competitions in the past two years, most of the people on the ship are tourists.

And almost everyone released their own Pokémon partners, either communicating with each other or dressing up, giving people the feeling of being on a dance cruise.

This also provides better cover for the Iron Warrior and reduces most of the trouble.

Some curious people just thought that it was Nanfang with a dressed-up Gardevoir or Aledo.

That night.

“This is my first time traveling by boat!”

"I thought the sea view would be different at night, but now it's pitch black. I'm a little disappointed!"

Standing on the deck and holding the railing, Bai Ruoruo said with a pout.

"We can't help it. It will take more than two days by boat. Although it is a bit slow, it is the least troublesome for us now. Let's hold on a little longer."

"I didn't say I didn't like it. Maybe it's because my expectations were too high. But it's also a novel experience. It's quite interesting, swaying above the endless sea~"

Looking at Bai Ruoruo who was standing on the bow with her arms open and gazing into the distance.

A familiar BGM immediately sounded in Nanfang's mind.

“La~ la la la~ la~”

Hmm? It doesn't seem to be this part, right?

No, where does the humming come from?

Nan Fang and Bai Ruoruo looked at each other and looked in the direction of the sound.

It was already half past ten in the evening. The sea breeze was a little chilly and there were only a few people on the deck.

After a while, the two found the humming person in a remote corner, or to be more precise, a Pokémon.

It is small in size, with a white body and green hair that covers most of its face.

There are two red horns on the head, one in front and one behind, of different sizes, dividing the hair in the middle.

"It's actually Lalulas! It's so cute!"

Bai Ruoruo had starry eyes. Although she was a little excited, she didn't get too close to the little guy who was concentrating on singing, for fear of disturbing it.

"It sounds great!"

Nan Fang was a little speechless. Although one could tell that there were some gentle tunes, it seemed...not very nice, right?

Is it the voice of seduction or temptation? Or is it a healing ringtone?

The first two seem to be able to be learned through growth and inheritance, and the latter should be learned by being taught moves, but it seems that it must be evolved to the final form and must be a Gardevoir in order to learn it.

This Lalulas doesn't look very big. Well, it seems that it must have extraordinary talent in some sound moves.

Nan Steel Fang’s analysis is complete.

"Sing, sing, sing! All you do in one day is sing!"

“You sing so badly!”

The hatch on the side opened, and a young man suddenly walked out and shouted angrily at Lalulas.

"Does my conquering you mean that you have to sing for me all day long?!"

"Dance for me now!"

"Dancing will attract more attention from the judges!"

"What a waste of a cute face! It's of no use at all!"

"Just stay outside! You're not allowed to come in until you learn how to dance!"

"Pooh!"

He was still not satisfied after cursing, and spat viciously at Lalulas, who had curled up with tears in her eyes.

With a "bang", the hatch was closed.

Lalulas lay on the ground sadly, her red eyes filled with tears.

Nan Fang suddenly felt that the temperature around him seemed to have dropped a lot, and he shivered.

Then Bai Ruoruo was seen lowering her head and striding forward towards the hatch.

Lalulas on the side raised his head and looked at Bai Ruoruo who was walking towards him with some surprise.

It could sense that this human was extremely angry at the moment.

"Knock down."

"Who?"

no respond.

"Knock down."

"Who on earth is this? It's the middle of the night. Is this going to end?"

There was the sound of a man approaching, and he suddenly opened the hatch with anger.

"You are sick! Who are you?"

"Apologize to it."

Bai Ruoruo looked at the man in front of her, pointed at Lalulas on the ground and said in a deep voice.

"are you crazy!"

"None of your business!"

"That's my own Pokémon! I can train it however I want! What's it to you?"

The handsome man immediately understood Bai Ruoruo's intention and replied with dissatisfaction.

It can be seen that he should be a contestant participating in the South Island Gorgeous Competition.

The cute Lalu Las, plus her tolerable looks.

To be honest, good looks do give you some extra points in a glamour contest.

But he is still not as handsome as Nan Fang.

And the heart is even worse.

"Apologize to it!"

Bai Ruoruo's tone became more serious.

Seeing that the other person was also a beautiful woman, the man's heart moved a little at this moment. He didn't see Nan Fang standing behind him.

"Oh, okay, how about you go inside first and we get to know each other, and when we're done, I'll apologize to this piece of shit in your presence, how about that?"

The man looked at Bai Ruoruo in front of him with a lustful look.

"Lalu! Lalu!"

Upon hearing this, Lalulas immediately stood up and stood in front of Bai Ruoruo, trying to push her away. She shook her little head hard, her red eyes full of begging.

"Get out of here! Don't ruin my business!"

The man prepared to kick.

"Snapped!"

There was a crisp sound of slap.

"you!"

"Snapped!"

Another sound.

"How dare you hit me! I...!"

"Snapped!"

The third sound.

This series of slaps stunned both Lalulas and the young man.

The man laughed in anger and immediately reached out to grab Bai Ruoruo.

"Where do you put your claws, kid?"

Nan Fang then stepped forward and grabbed the other person's wrist.

With a height of over 1.80 meters, he crushed the other person and looked at him coldly.

The man was startled. He didn't expect there was another man next to him.

Frightened by Nan Fang's momentum, the man suddenly pulled his hand back.

"Okay! You're bullying me, right?"

"Wait for me to go and talk to the captain!"

"I have someone above me!"

"Don't leave if you dare!"

After saying that, the man turned and walked towards the cabin angrily.

"Alright, he's just a scumbag. There's no need to be so angry at that kind of person. Let's go and take a look, before he complains first."

Nan Fang began to think in his mind.

To be honest, although the other party's attitude towards its own Pokémon is indeed very bad, it is its own Pokémon after all. Legally speaking, as long as it is not crazy abuse, it does not constitute a criminal act.

So, in fact, they are indeed the party in the wrong.

But Bai Ruoruo is her own family member, and what's more, there is nothing wrong with her behavior. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with standing on the side of her family unconditionally.

As for the consequences, Nan Fang is already considering whether he should call the boss again, or contact that good brother Long Xing?

His background should still be of some use, probably...

Bai Ruoruo squatted in front of Lalulas and gently stroked its little face.

"Don't cry, you sing really beautifully!"

"Don't let yourself down. I don't know why you followed your trainer, but it's really better not to have a master like that."

"Ahahaha...I know you may not be able to accept this."

"But a beautiful and good child like you deserves better."

"Sometimes, Pokémon can actually choose their own trainers."

“Try to learn to make decisions for yourself.”

"Okay, I'm leaving now!"

"You must be careful in the future! Goodbye!"

Bai Ruoruo stood up and looked at Nan Fang apologetically.

"Sorry, I was a little impulsive, but..."

"I understand. To be honest, if you didn't slap him, I would have done it! It doesn't matter. We can swim over there even if we're in trouble."

"Aren't all travelers like this~"

"I just have to pray that I won't be mistaken for an illegal immigrant when I get there."

"Pfft!"

Bai Ruoruo was amused by Nan Fang, and the two of them walked slowly towards the inner cabin.

Lalulas looked at the two people's backs from afar, and felt full of warmth and happiness in her heart.

Here, the two groups met again.

Even though they were still far away, they could already see to the south that the young man was pointing at the two of them in front of the captain.

"It's the two of them!"

"You are my future brother-in-law!"

"If you don't make the decision for me, how am I going to tell my sister when I get back?"

The man was a little timid.

Because he knew that his future brother-in-law actually didn't like him very much. If he hadn't been pestering his elder sister all the time, his future brother-in-law would have ignored him at all.

The captain standing next to him didn't look very old, but he wasn't young either.

He is nearly 40 years old and has a successful career, but because he works at sea all year round, he doesn't have much time to face his love life. He finally met true love who has the same job as him.

Therefore, he, who has always been upright, would sometimes help his brother-in-law who has accomplished nothing.

Even the Lalu Lasi was purchased from other cooperative clients with great effort by him.

Knowing his brother-in-law's character, he was also a little troubled at this moment.

Looking at the two people walking slowly towards him, just as he was about to speak, the cell phone in his arms suddenly started ringing.

The captain picked it up and looked at it. His face instantly became serious and he signaled the young man not to speak.

"Hey, boss! Yes, it's me."

"Yeah, yeah, okay, is that so..."

"Good good!"

"No, no! There is absolutely no difficulty! I know what to do."

"Okay, got it!"

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

The captain let out a long sigh and looked at the two people from the south who had come in front of him.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Nan Fang and Miss Bai Ruoruo?"

The tone was extremely sincere and humble.

Nan Fang was stunned.

"Hmm? That's right, it's us. As for what just happened..."

"It's entirely this gentleman's fault. You have no responsibility at all. I already understand what happened."

"You can go back to your cabin and rest. No, in order to make amends, we have upgraded you to the highest class cabin. Our people will take you there later and have taken your luggage there in advance."

"Don't worry, we have already sent a dedicated waiter, male and female, to serve you two."

"Your Pokémon companion is a little troublesome. Please guide it yourself for a while."

"Then please relax and enjoy the rest of your trip."

"I wish you both a happy journey!"

The captain's attitude changed so quickly that the three people present were all stunned.

Just like that, Nan Fang and Bai Ruoruo were invited to a luxurious reception room without knowing what was going on.

Later, according to inquiries in the south, the young man was sent back to plant flowers by the ship's speedboat that night, and was ordered not to participate in any gorgeous competitions.

"what's going on?"

Bai Ruoruo's face was full of confusion.

Nan Fang was also confused and shook his head.

"It is a great honor to have you two on board our ship."

"It is my fault that you two have had an unpleasant boat ride."

"I would like to express my sincerest apologies to both of you here."

A cheerful male voice came from outside the door.

He knocked politely on the hall door at the side, then bowed slightly towards the two people in the south.

A handsome young man wearing an expensive suit, rings on both hands, a red scarf and light blue hair walked in.

"My name is Zfuchi Daigo."

"Young President of Dewen Manufacturing Co., Ltd."

"Welcome both of you."

Nan Fang was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that it was another familiar stranger.

However, Nan Fang, who has now faced his life squarely, was not too surprised.

The rest of the surprise was simply because I didn’t expect to see the main purpose of this trip here.
