Pokémon: Encounter

"Yaoyao is back. Ah! Mr. Odamaki and Xiaoyou are here too. Eh? These three are new friends. Please come in!"

A beautiful woman opened the door and welcomed the group from the South.

The beautiful woman's name is Mizu, and she is Xiaoyao's mother.

"Haha, what a rare guest!"

"This must be the Nan Fang that Yashida mentioned. I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person."

"I thought you could stay in the local area for a few days first, but I didn't expect you to come so soon."

"Yeah, not bad! I didn't expect you to look so young. You're really a handsome guy!"

Just as a few people sat down in the living room, a hearty male voice came from outside the house.

He has a resolute face and a calm temperament.

This is Mr. Qianli, the master of the Orange Gym in Orange City in the South Island region, the holder of the Libra Badge, and a master who specializes in Normal-type Pokémon.

From Dr. Odamaki, we learned that he is a man obsessed with the pursuit of power.

A powerful trainer who is strong enough to be called the next Four Heavenly Kings.

Ordinary challengers, if they do not have the strength to possess four badges before coming to the Orange Gym, will not be allowed to challenge the Orange Gym.

"I heard that you want to challenge the battle frontier directly. Although I don't know the specific reason yet, when Yashida told me about your past, I became very interested in you!"

"After all, anyone who is favored by that guy must be strong enough!"

"Even though I was asked to do this, I won't let you down no matter what!"

"I hope you and I can give each other a hearty fight!"

Qianli grabbed Nanfang's hand very enthusiastically.

In his eyes, a battle of equal strength would bring him enormous benefits.

Nan Fang smiled awkwardly, feeling a little overwhelmed by Qian Li's initiative.

After all, he is an old man.

"Cuckoo..."

"Let's have breakfast first. I just made a few extra portions. Go take a shower first. It's not nice to come to meet guests right after morning exercise!"

Mitsu pretended to be angry at Qianli.

Qianli scratched his head embarrassedly to apologize, then turned around and prepared to leave.

"By the way, honey, why does the house smell so good today?" Qianli asked casually.

"Well, you piece of wood finally noticed it."

Mizuki's eyes flickered.

"It was a young lady who had just started working in sales this morning. She came to recommend a new type of fragrance."

"I smelled it and it smelled good, so I kept a piece."

"profound."

The delicious breakfast time is spent in a warm atmosphere.

Mitsu was very thoughtful, even everyone's Pokémon had their own unique breakfast.

After the meal, Odamaki gestured to Nanfang and asked if he could tell him more about the inside story.

Although Lin Mu and Qianli are both people that Odawara trusts, and because the two have been together for many years, Odawara also understands Qianli's attitude.

But this must still respect the opinions of the South.

Moreover, Odamaki is particularly supportive of what Nan Fang wants to do.

As a pacifist, he has great disdain for those attempts to incite oppression and war.

After getting Nan Fang's agreement, Odamaki said a little more.

“I didn’t expect there was such a deep meaning in this.”

Qianli had a serious expression.

Although the two children nearby were still a little confused, they understood the importance of some things and fell into deep thought.

"Then we must take this battle between us a thousand times more seriously."

"With all due respect, as you continue to challenge, it's only a matter of time before someone notices this and makes it public."

"Your road will not be smooth from now on."

"So, you have to win this first battle, and win beautifully."

“And I must also do my best.”

Qianli said solemnly.

Nan Fang understood Qianli's meaning, and the moment he decided to take on the task, he was already prepared.

Everything is ready.

Everyone took their seats, and Nan Fang and Qian Li stood on both sides of the battle field of Chenghua Gym.

"The battle is a three-on-three format, and you can change Pokémon at will during the battle."

"If there's no problem, we can get started."

Nan Fang nodded.

"So this is my first Pokémon."

"Come out! Hyperactive Ape!"

A white Pokémon that looked like a sloth and a monkey appeared in the center of the venue.

The difference is that its expression and demeanor are always in a state of restlessness, as if it is very eager to make a big scene.

It is said that its heart beats ten times faster than normal, and the blood in its body is boiling, and it can't stop for a moment. If you don't move your body, the pressure will accumulate too much and your physical condition will deteriorate.

"Hyperactive ape? Then we decide it's this one!"

"Blue Flame Blade Ghost!"

"That's a great choice. Hyperactive Ape! Use Metal Claws!"

"Blue Flame Blade Ghost! Shadow Claw takes it!"

Both of them chose to test each other first.

Just as the hyperactive ape was about to gather strength to spring out, there was a "pop" and the hyperactive ape fell straight to the ground, motionless, as if it had fainted.

"Hyperactive Ape! What's wrong with you!?"

Qianli shouted anxiously and was about to go and check on the condition of the moving ape.

Another "bang" was heard, and this time it was Qianli himself who fell down!

But he did not faint, he was still conscious, but his body could not move.

Nan Fang was about to take action when he suddenly found that even his own body was beginning to become uncontrollable!

He looked at the Blue Flame Blade Ghost in the field. Unknowingly, it had fallen in the middle of the field.

Nanfang quickly turned his head to look at the viewing platform on the side. Mitsu, the two children, Odamaki and Bai Ruoruo were all leaning there limply.

But from their frightened eyes, it can be seen that they still retain a certain degree of consciousness.

"Oh my, I was wondering why my left eyelid kept twitching today. According to your words, something good will happen."

"As expected, today we can not only collect the ace Pokémon of the strongest gym leader in South Island."

"I can even win the love of the famous Dr. Nan Fang."

"It's really God's mercy!"

A lazy female voice suddenly appeared.

A woman with short silver hair, wearing a black uniform and black goggles walked in from the door.

She was seen walking around in a swagger, looking here and there, as if she was strolling in her own back garden.

Nan Fang frantically recalled the past in his mind and realized that he didn't know this woman at all, and he had no impression of her voice.

He could only try secretly, trying to move his body as quickly as possible.
