Pokémon: Encounter

Nan Fang was not surprised at all. He squinted his eyes, looking as if he had seen through everything.

"How can I help him? In theory, I am working for him now. There is no worker in the world who is working harder and doing less thankless work than me."

He is talking about the blue man.

"That's not what I'm talking about." Mikoli looked like he was worried.

"Daigo and I have known each other since high school."

"We had similar personalities, encouraged each other for our respective dreams, and made progress together. We could be said to be good friends who could talk about anything."

"But I don't know when it started, Daigo is no longer the same as before."

"He began to become more confident and calm. Although he was still humble, polite and gentle on the surface, his style of doing things became more extreme."

"Wait a minute...are you sure this isn't changing for the better?"

"Handsome, rich, and strong. What's wrong with being extreme? He has the capital. What's wrong with being a little crazy? What's the problem?"

The South doesn’t understand.

"That's not the real him!"

Mikoli suddenly became a little excited. The Mienshao beside him seemed to sense his master's anxiety and gently lowered his neck to rub Mikoli's head.

"I'm sorry, Meinasi, for making you worry."

"And you still say you are not Nantong..." Nan Fang muttered softly.

"I can't remember the exact date. But on that day, he suddenly found me and was very excited."

"He told me that he wanted to unify the South Island! And then return to the embrace of growing flowers!"

"I was very surprised at the time. Because we have been doing this all along."

"This includes most of the gym leaders, some slightly famous stars and coordinating trainers, and almost all the people of South Island. We are all working together and doing this non-stop."

"Even the seven battle settlements in the South Island are included. Even though their institutions themselves do not belong to any country, their stance is particularly firm."

Nan Fang comfortably stroked the depressed Absol lying beside him, looking like a well-behaved baby. He still couldn't tell what was wrong.

Haven't you mentioned the point yet? Even novel authors can't write as much as you do. If an author really writes like this, he will definitely be hung up and beaten by the readers. You update slowly and dare to write too much. Where do you put the thousands of readers? Huh?

"I know you're in a hurry, but don't worry yet."

"It all sounds reasonable. But the unreasonable part is that he is too eager."

"It's like he's eager to prove something."

"In the past, he would never have said something as ambitious as 'unifying South Island'."

"I will never forget the look on his face at that time."

Mikoli looked heavy.

"Well, is there a possibility that he has come to terms with it? He's finally fed up with those incompetent and conceited people in power?" Nan Fang asked tentatively.

"Impossible. If he was that kind of person, he wouldn't have voluntarily resigned from his position as champion and entrusted the championship mantle to me, asking me to protect South Island for him."

"Well, to be honest, I know a weird old man who had the potential to be a champion but voluntarily gave up the title. After all, there are some things that are not easy to do with the halo of a champion."

"You're right. So when I found out something was wrong with him, I took the initiative to investigate privately."

"Daigo, he's actually making some kind of deal with Team Aqua and Team Magma."

"He was so upright that he would never associate with such a notorious and selfish illegal organization. There was even one time when we personally formed a team and joined forces with the South Island Security Team to vigorously eliminate these two underground organizations."

"It was after my investigation that Daigo seemed to have discovered my private behavior and took the initiative to cut off all contact between us. He even used some of his connections and channels to completely deprive me of my rights as champion."

"So now I am just a big star with a 'champion' body and a few performances every day."

Mikoli smiled bitterly.

It turned out to be the case.

Is it a sudden change in personality or something like that?

"Do you have any idea what the deal is about?"

Team Ocean vs Team Lava.

Two underground organizations with their own ideas and extreme actions. They are equivalent to the former Rocket Team, except that the Rocket Team's influence is wider, almost all over the world.

"Well, if I'm wrong, it must be related to the two super ancient legendary Pokémon from South Island. Because he once said something like this."

"If you want to succeed, you must obtain the most absolute power."

The South is silent.

The development of the matter was beyond imagination. If it was really related to those two, then the seriousness of the matter would not be limited to this small area of ​​South Island.

Land and sea.

Not to mention the flower plants in the neighboring South Island, even countries around the world and even the global scope are likely to be affected.

“And the sky.”

Nanfang raised his head and looked up at the endless starry sky which had gradually changed color. There seemed to be a star shining there.

"Do you believe in the legend of South Island?" Mikoli turned his head and looked towards the south.

"This is something that is almost like something out of a fantasy novel. I'm sure even a three-year-old child would know about it. Believe it or not, I've already dealt with a few mythical beasts not long ago."

"Haha, I am narrow-minded. Your experience is indeed different from that of ordinary people." Mikoli said with a wry smile.

"I just don't want Daigo to go down a wrong path because of his impatience."

"There's nothing I can do now."

"But you are different. You can talk to him directly. So I hope that when necessary, you can help him in time."

"Or, stop him."

Mikoli turned around and bent heavily towards the south.

Nan Fang looked at Mikoli who lowered his head, and he no longer had the heart to tease him.

"No, there are things you can do."

Mikoli looked up in surprise.

“As the most famous celebrity in South Island, he must have a huge fan base.”

"What you can do is to call on your own fans and the people of South Island to unite as one, make preparations in advance for a potentially bad future, and protect your friends and family."

Nan Fang smiled and patted Mikoli on the shoulder.

Mikoli has the beliefs he holds on to, and he has enough strength to support him to go very far.

Now he was just trapped in the shackles he created for himself.

"Mina~!!!"

"Look, don't you still have friends around you who always support you?"

Minose called out sweetly towards the south, as if to express gratitude.

"Thank you!"

Mikoli stood up straight and smiled confidently and charmingly again.

After saying goodbye to Mikoli, Nanfang walked back to his residence. He found a hotel. It was not a good idea to always stay at the temporary inn of the Pokémon Center.

"After today, I guess Daigo won't contact me anymore. I've always felt there's something wrong with him."

"It seems that the only strong backup now is the so-called Battle Frontier."

"Well~ the burden is so heavy~ I should get a good sleep first~"

"I guess Ruoruo and the others should be here tomorrow."

"Alas, hurry up and cherish the few remaining leisure days~"
