Pokémon: Encounter

Things seemed to have ended so abruptly.

The cave, which had collapsed halfway, gradually calmed down. The people in the south sat on the grass outside the ruins, feeling the sea breeze. The white fog surrounding the entire deserted island also dissipated at this moment.

The only sound around was the sound of waves crashing against the stone walls, and everyone was enjoying the rare tranquility.

"Tell me, is there anything you can say? It shouldn't be something too secret, right?" Nan Fang looked at He Xuanmu and Nightingale and said.

Now, as the only two disciples of Long Xing, they have been appointed as investigators because of their strength and only obey Long Xing's orders. If they can appear here, they must have come with a mission.

Nan Fang tried to ask tactfully.

Nightingale looked at the expressionless He Xuanmu and began to organize her words in her heart.

"It's nothing, actually... As you can see, we just followed the pace of the Pokémon hunters..."

"Team Rocket, Hunter Organization."

Well, that’s He Xuanmu’s style.

"...".

Nightingale: I...@#￥%&*-+!!! Why did you say everything? It's none of my business! No matter how things develop in the end, it's none of my business! It's all said by this old man!

Nan Fang was also stunned for a moment. He thought that Lao He would definitely tell him something, but after seeing Nightingale's expression, Lao He must have told him everything.

Although there are only two simple nouns, the content connected between them is quite explosive.

"Hiss...I didn't expect the Hunter Organization was also involved in this incident?"

"I understand that the Hunters might want to capture legendary Pokémon, but Team Rocket..."

Thinking of the grudges between himself and that man in the battle in the Dragon Cave, Nanfang's head began to ache.

Is Sakaki really not dead?

Nan Fang thought again of the time when he traveled back to the past to Puju, that is, Padiya, because of Celebi's ability. He met Sakaki, who did not recognize him but seemed to have some ability to travel through time and space.

Will it have anything to do with him...

He Xuanmu looked at Nan Fang who was lost in thought and continued, "When we were tracking down the remnants of Team Rocket, we came across some information from the Hunter Organization."

After He Xuanmu finished speaking, he looked at Nightingale, who was standing aside with a look of despair on her face, without saying a word.

Why are you looking at me? Have you finished what you are saying?

Weren't you present when the teacher gave out the assignment?

Aren't you very brave?

Don't try to drag me down!

impossible! Absolutely impossible!

"...Teacher and the others suspected that the remnants of Team Rocket had some kind of connection with the Pokémon Hunters. We met the Hunters led by J during our mission to pretend to be the remnants of Team Rocket, and then followed them to this temple... Later... Later we were discovered..."

"We were forced by the situation at the time. We found an opportunity and snatched the Heart Drop that had been found by J and the others... and then... then..."

The nightingale lowered its head and its voice became smaller and smaller.

She had no choice but to speak as she was being stared at wildly by three pairs of eyes.

Even though Nightingale narrated the entire incident in a few simple words, the risks involved were difficult for others to imagine.

"Thank you for your hard work, Yeye. You did the right thing."

"Even though they are running away now, they have gained nothing. If they take the Heart Drop with them, the consequences will be disastrous."

The South whispered to comfort the nightingale.

Although he didn't know what the function of this drop of heart was, it was better to keep it in the hands of his own people.

The Nightingale, who had been feeling somewhat aggrieved and sad, slowly relaxed at this moment.

【Can you give us back the water droplets? 】

At this time, Latias said to Nightingale with a hint of crying in her tone.

"Ah! Sorry!"

Nightingale quickly took out a round aqua blue bead from the backpack behind her and handed it to Latias.

The drop of heart originally belonged to the two brothers and sisters.

The situation was critical at the time, and in order to protect the Heart Drop, Latios resolutely fought against Team J. However, the opponent had a large number of people, and Latios was seriously injured in the end.

But after all, it is a legendary Pokémon. After killing most of the other party, Latias also managed to escape. Nightingale and He Xuanmu also took this opportunity to snatch the Heart Drop, which led to the scene where Lao He was the only one left to escape.

Looking at the dying Latios, Nan Fang felt a little embarrassed. He thought that everyone would be safe after they escaped, and forgot that there was a blue plane waiting for rescue.

[Thank you!] Latias took the water drop and thanked.

Then, Latias placed the Heart Drop next to his brother.

Something amazing happened.

The water drop, which was originally just an ordinary blue bead, suddenly emitted a dazzling blue light, and in an instant it enveloped Latios' entire body.

Latios slowly opened his eyes, and the scars on his body began to heal visibly until they disappeared. And the water droplet gradually merged into Latios' body during the healing process.

"Os..."

"Yas!"

Seeing Latios gradually recovering, Latias cried with joy and immediately threw himself into his brother's arms. Latios gently stroked his sister's head and nodded with satisfaction.

Seeing this heartwarming scene, everyone was delighted from the bottom of their hearts. He Xuanmu, who also had a younger sister, felt the same way and smiled, which was rare.

[Human, thank you for taking care of my sister. 】

[Without you, I would be in great danger today. ]

"Don't say that Latios, we all help each other."

"If we don't have Latias's help, the situation of my friends will probably be dire."

"It's a blessing that the final result was like this," Nan Fang replied.

[Good people, this is the result of your efforts and trust. ]

As Latios finished his words, two red and blue soft lights emanated from the bodies of the brother and sister, slowly floating towards the four people in the south.

This is...?

The people wrapped in the soft light did not have any special feelings or changes, but they vaguely felt that they and their Pokémon partners seemed to have become closer?

【May the bond be with you forever. 】

The soft light faded, and Latios spoke softly.

"Thank you!" Nan Fang smiled happily.

He didn't know what the brother and sister had given them, but he simply felt that it was a very happy thing to receive the kindness and recognition of the legendary Pokémon.

But in the near future, Nan Fang finally understood how much help these two former guardians of the water city had given him.

[Good people, I have one more piece of advice for you. ]

Latios suddenly said seriously to Nan Fang.

[Kyogre, who was sleeping at the bottom of the temple, has awakened. 】

【Its appearance will bring disaster to the world. 】

[I hope you can get away from here as soon as possible and be safe. 】

Nanfang's expression changed slightly when he heard the advice from Latios.

"Thank you Latios!"

Nodding, Latios took his sister and flew into the sky, gradually disappearing.

After the crisis, Latias regained his innocence, playfully circled around the south, and left with his brother somewhat reluctantly.

What is supposed to come, will come anyway.
