Pokémon: Encounter

Chapter 337 Lost an opportunity to become a strong man

"Weibai Town, sounds familiar."

Nan Fang muttered to himself.

Perhaps Nan Fang has not yet realized that when he began to accept this world and find himself from the bottom of his heart, his past memories were slowly being covered up.

On this day, Nan Fang and Bai Ruoruo followed the email sent by Dr. Lin Mu and came to Weibai Town, where his old friend lived.

According to Mr. Lin Mu, his friend is quite young compared to him, probably in his 30s but not 40. He is also a Pokémon doctor who lives in the countryside.

I remember Lin Mu mentioned to Nan Fang that his research topic was "The habitat and distribution status of Pokémon."

He believes that most Pokémon scientists rarely go out to do research, so he himself is quite keen on taking the initiative to go outdoors to do some research and investigation.

He even often takes his children out to observe and capture Pokémon, for which his wife always reminds him to be careful.

Of course, they will definitely not harm the Pokémon, and after doing some research, basically all of them will be released back into the wild.

"Here we are, right here."

According to the instructions on the map, the two came to a place similar to a small manor.

Because Weibai Town is located in the suburbs, the environment here is quite beautiful, with mountains, water, and forests, and the air is quite fresh.

"Compared to here, Dr. Lin Mu's residence looks quite frugal."

Bai Ruoruo had no ill intentions, it was just a simple comment.

"Oh? Why do you say that?"

Nan Fang looked at her and asked.

"Because Dr. Lin Mu lives on the edge of town, although his house is big, all his equipment is crowded together, which looks a bit messy. I still went there once."

"Then look here. Several houses are located in this area, distributed in an orderly manner, and have formed a manor structure."

"Well, this doctor should be quite remarkable~"

Bai Ruoruo said affirmatively.

Nanfang didn't say anything, but when he thought about the fact that the entire mountain behind Grandpa Lin's house was signed by a certain Mr. Lin, his teeth began to ache.

"Ding dong!"

"Dr. Odamaki? Are you home?"

Nan Fang rang the doorbell several times but got no response, so he shouted loudly.

Dr. Odamaki is from Sakura, but his wife is from Austronesia.

Their family had settled in the South Island a long time ago.

In fact, sometimes research is like art. When it reaches a certain level, the concept of national boundaries will gradually fade away. They are both precious treasures of all mankind.

Moreover, Dr. Odamaki has indeed made many great contributions to humans and Pokémon all over the world, and he deserves the respect he deserves.

"It seems like there is no one?"

Nan Fang scratched his head in surprise.

"Then let's go find a place to stay first. We'll be staying here for a few days anyway. We'll come back next time."

After saying that, Bai Ruoruo and Nan Fang left temporarily.

"Help...help!"

As the two passed by a path beside a forest, a cry for help reached their ears.

The two looked in the direction of the sound and saw a middle-aged man with unshaven beard being chased by a wild coyote.

"Hey! Those guys over there!"

"Please! Help me!"

"It's in my backpack on the ground over there! There's a Poké Ball in it!"

"You can pick any one you want! Please!"

"Wow! Yeah!!!"

Nan Fang, who originally wanted to take action directly, looked at the backpack with some curiosity after hearing this.

Ha! I know this!

So he squatted down excitedly and opened the backpack.

There were three shining red and white balls lying quietly inside.

Which one should I choose?

At this moment, Nan Fang was suffering from the choice dilemma.

I wish there was a pixelated little white hand on every Poké Ball. It would perfectly indicate what kind of Pokémon is inside each Poké Ball.

"Excuse me! Please hurry up!"

"I can't hold on any longer!!!"

The man, who was now clinging to a big tree, called out in despair.

"Okay! It's decided to be you!"

Nan Fang shouted, throwing the Poké Ball in his hand.

"Den!"

With a slight sound, a cute Pokémon with a blue body and a small body appeared in front of Nan Fang.

"Lucky! It's actually a water-leaping fish!"

One of the original three Pokémon of the South Island region, a water-type amphibian Pokémon.

Its skin is slimy and its movements are agile and light. The high fins on its head, the conspicuous orange cheek flaps on both sides and the huge tail fin are all impressive.

Wild water-skippers usually rest by burying their bodies in the mud at the bottom of the river, and breathe using the gills on their cheeks when in the water.

The fins on its head are very sensitive radars that can detect surrounding conditions from the flow of water or air without relying on eyes.

If it encounters danger, it will display amazing strength and can break rocks larger than its own body.

If you use your large tail fin to paddle, your speed will increase rapidly.

On land, it will use all four legs to push the ground hard, which can also multiply the power and damage.

It is a cute Pokémon that is very suitable for new trainers.

"Slurp... cough! Water Leap Fish! We have to team up to rescue this uncle!"

"come on!"

"Haha!"

The Shuiyue fish did not show any confusion or panic because it was suddenly called out. On the contrary, it analyzed the situation it was facing calmly and responded confidently to the south.

"Well done!"

"Water Leap Fish! Let me see your strength!"

"Use impact!"

The Shuiyueyu had a determined look in his eyes, and his four short legs instantly exerted force and rushed towards the coyote dog.

"Ow~"

The coyote dog was very surprised by the sudden attack, and cried out in pain as it was knocked away.

Someone actually dared to challenge me! ?

"Woo!!!"

The coyote stood up and began to bare its teeth at Nan Fang and Shui Leap Fish.

"Not bad, Water Leap Fish! What about this move?"

"Use the water gun!"

After receiving the order, the water leaping fish began to accumulate strength, and its cheeks on both sides bulged up.

With a "puff" sound, some thin streams of water gushed out.

Although it looks a little immature, it is more than enough to face this coyote.

The coyote dog was knocked several meters away again.

This time it was scared. It stood up, barked a few times, then turned around and disappeared into the jungle behind it.

"Snapped!"

"OK! Cool!"

Nan Fang happily high-fived Shui Yueyu to celebrate their perfect first collaboration.

"Huh... I can finally come down... I can't hold on any longer..."

“Thank you so much!”

"If it weren't for you, I don't know what I would do!"

As the man spoke, he slowly slid down the tree trunk.

"It doesn't matter. 'When you see injustice, you should help it.'"

"I think whoever is in this situation will come to help you."

Nan Fang said generously.

"Alas, I'm afraid no one will pass by here..."

The man said sheepishly, scratching the back of his head.

"By the way, to thank you, I'll invite you to my house for dinner!"

"My home is not far from here!"

"My name is Odamaki! I'm a Pokémon researcher!"

"You two look like tourists visiting South Island. What's your name?"

Oda Juan and Nan Fang Bai Ruoruo shook hands politely and invited him generously.

"Are you Dr. Odamaki?"

......

"So you are the two that Senior Lin Mu mentioned before, Nan Fang! The youngest doctor! I've heard so much about you! I didn't expect you to be so young!"

"No, no, it's all in the past. I'm just a novice researcher at best. Not worth mentioning."

"Mr. Lin didn't give us your photo, so we didn't recognize it was you just now. Sorry, sorry."

"With this look, no one would question if I said I was fifty years old. It doesn't matter whether they recognize me or not, hahahaha!"

After exchanging a few pleasantries, they returned to their previous research institute, which was also Odamaki's home.

......

"To be honest, I don't know much more about Champion Daigo than you do, because we really don't have much in common."

"It's just that his team found me a few times and we did some research on the habitats of ancient Pokémon together. That's why I met him a few times."

Odamaki shook his head.

"Oh, by the way, I remembered a trivial matter and wondered if it could be of any help to you."

"I heard from a colleague who often interacts with his team that people in his team were chatting privately."

"It is said that since about a year ago, Champion Daigo's style of doing things, or his personality, seems to have changed a little."

"It's a bit like a sudden change, and it feels a bit strange."

"But nothing special happened afterwards, and it just came to nothing."

"Hahaha, these are just idle chatter. Don't take them as reference. Blame me for talking nonsense!"

There was indeed no useful information obtained, and Nan Fang just went over it in his mind.

"Ah! It's already this time!"

Odamaki looked up at the clock.

"Sorry, can the meal wait a moment?"

"It's really the time I agreed with the two rookie trainers. I have to distribute these children to the two rookie trainers who have been waiting for a long time. After all, it was agreed a long time ago."

Odamaki said apologetically.

"It's okay, please go ahead. We are just interrupting you."

"Oh right! Can we go together? We also want to see the scene of distributing Pokémon to new trainers."

The South was extremely sincere.

Bai Ruoruo, who was standing aside, rolled her eyes.

If you are willing to take back the eyeballs that have been hanging on the water-leaping fish, I will still believe you.

"Of course! Let's go together!"

As they were talking, they arrived at a laboratory.

At this time, two children, a boy and a girl, appeared here.

Both of them were wearing red clothes, but the boy had a white hood on his head, while the girl had a big red bow on her head.

"Let me introduce you. This is Xiaoyao, the well-behaved and obedient daughter of my friend Qianli."

"This is Xiaoyou, my naughty son."

"They are both rookie trainers this year."

"And these two are friends of Senior Lin Mu, and they are traveling here this time. Nan Fang, Bai Ruoruo! The one over there is Nan Fang's Pokémon friend!"

"That's a super rare Pokémon that hasn't even been included in the Pokédex yet!"

Nanfang had already explained the existence of the Iron Warrior to Odamaki before.

Xiaoyou and Xiaoyao looked at the Iron Warrior in front of them excitedly. They didn't expect to encounter such a precious Pokémon on the first day of becoming a new trainer! They are so lucky!

"Okay! Now let's get to the point!"

"Choose your first companion to start your journey!"

"Please note! The selection is mutual!"

"If either party is dissatisfied, your partnership will no longer be established."

Odamaki said cautiously.

Xiaoyou and Xiaoyao looked at each other, and began to interact with the three little guys on the ground in order to find the best partner.

Nan Fang, who was standing by, had quietly squeezed in behind the two of them at some point, staring straight at the water-leaping fish sitting on the far right, trying to attract its attention.

The grass-type Tree Gecko, the fire-type Crimson Chickadee, and the water-type Fishbone.

The Wood Gecko and Xiaoyou were paired up quite quickly, and they seemed to have made their decision simply by looking at each other.

But Xiaoyao was in a dilemma between the Fire Chicken and the Water Leaping Fish.

"cough..."

Nan Fang coughed lightly.

As an adult, of course I feel embarrassed to compete with a child.

But not long ago, he and Shuiyueyu formed a very harmonious partnership!

I can choose not to fight for it, but you can choose me!

The water-leaping fish seemed to have discovered something. It looked up to the south and chuckled.

"Haha!"

Then he resolutely threw himself into Xiaoyao's arms.

At the same time, Fire Chicken also crawled into Xiaoyao's arms.
