Pokémon: Encounter

Tarbu City Pokémon Treatment Center.

Looking at the familiar scene in front of me, Nan Fang, a frequent visitor to the Pokémon Center, has become a little numb. After each battle, I have to go to the local hospital for a walk. I really miss the leisurely life of eating and sleeping at home.

However, this time the treatment was slightly different.

Looking at the Iron Warrior who was still asleep after being pushed out by the nurse, Nan Fang's heart immediately rose to his throat.

"What's the situation?" Looking at the nurse's worried face, Nan Fang asked urgently.

"This is a bit strange..."

"Logically speaking, the external injuries of this Pokémon have indeed all healed. After all, most of its body structure is made up of some alloy metals, which is extremely strong."

"Although I'm not sure what the material is, it should be fine."

"It's just... its mental state has always been extremely damaged. To use it in human terms, it's like having just undergone a major surgical operation and having been severely injured and not yet fully recovered."

The nurse who looked very much like Miss Joy said with a frown.

"So when will it recover?"

"We have tried to inject it with a special Pokémon nutrient solution, but... the effect is minimal. It feels like... something is constantly devouring it..."

"After all, this is a Pokémon we haven't encountered before... We... We can only try and prepare to soak it in a treatment chamber filled with nutrient solution to maintain its condition."

The female nurse did not directly say that there was no way, this was the responsibility of a medical staff. They pushed the Iron Warrior out of the room and also wanted to come over to ask Nan Fang for his opinion.

"it's useless."

At this time, Yashida, who had been following Nanfang, suddenly spoke.

He walked up to the Iron Warrior, bent down and searched his body for a while.

A small yellow energy storage device was taken out from behind the Iron Warrior.

Is this... the energy-driving device that the fake Daigo gave to the Iron Warrior?

"Sure enough, in the battle just now, the Iron Warrior exploded with a force far beyond its own. The energy in this driving device is almost gone."

"Snapped--!"

Yashida twisted his hands slightly, and the middle part of the driving device opened instantly, revealing the empty core inside.

Nan Fang clearly remembered that when he first saw this driving device, he could always see a layer of blue and purple liquid-like substance in the middle of the device that looked like a viewfinder.

"You should know the importance of this thing."

"For a Pokémon like Iron Warrior, this thing can even be said to be equivalent to its driving energy source."

"Without it, Pokémon like them will have a hard time in today's society."

Yashida looked at the south and said softly.

Not caring about why Yashida knew these things, Nan Fang pondered for a moment.

"It seems that it is necessary to go to Padya now."

"That's right. They don't belong to the modern era in the first place. Only by replenishing that energy can they live here safely."

"Perhaps, when all the mysteries are solved, they can live peacefully on this land like other ordinary Pokémon."

Ok? ? ?

The young nurse standing by was confused.

Is this Pokémon rare? Isn't it a variant of Gardevoir? And what is Padia? I seem to have heard of it somewhere before...

"Thank you, nurse. I know how to treat it." After saying that, Nan Fang immediately put the Iron Warrior back into the Poké Ball.

"Eh!? No, if you keep running around with it! It's very likely to cause other symptoms!"

"I still suggest keeping it in the hospital for observation and then supplementing its nutrition throughout the day!"

"As long as we keep its energy from draining away, we will definitely find a way to cure it!!!"

The young nurse tried her best to dissuade him.

"It's okay. We have found the cause of the disease. It has encountered this situation once before. We will definitely cure it!"

Nan Fang thanked her again and ignored the anxious nurse. He followed Yashida out of the Pokémon Treatment Center.

"It seems that you have made up your mind." Yashida said to the south.

"The Iron Warrior is only in a coma now, and it won't be a threat to its life for now."

"If this trip to Padia goes smoothly, I think it won't take too long."

"I have a recommendation here. Take it with you to see the principal of Orange College, Clavel. I know him well, and he will be able to give you some help."

"Also, here is a direct flight ticket to Puju area tomorrow. You should get some rest tonight."

Nan Fang reached out and took it, with a strange look in his eyes.

"Ahem, don't let your imagination run wild."

"I saw your Iron Warrior suddenly explode in the simultaneous broadcast, facing the giant Swampert with an overwhelming look. I guessed that you might need these things, so I prepared them early."

"Consider it...an apology to you for this incident."

"After all, it was indeed my dereliction of duty that someone like Shi Nan could sneak in among the seven leaders."

"If it weren't for this battle, your Iron Warrior wouldn't have exhausted his driving energy so quickly."

"I haven't done my job well yet..."

Looking at Yashida who was apologizing to him sincerely, Nan Fang couldn't help but become serious.

"Mr. Yashida, can you tell me your true identity?"

"I just don't want all my efforts to go to waste or become a wedding dress for others."

"If that's possible, I think our cooperation will be more pleasant."

Hearing this, Yashida smiled helplessly.

“I’m afraid I can’t do this for the time being.”

"You just need to know one thing."

"If my purpose is mixed with some other unfavorable factors, then those flower-growing bosses standing behind you will not let me go."

"Don't underestimate those superiors~"

Nan Fang immediately understood what was going on.

"Tsk, everything is arranged as expected."

"Not really, it's just a coincidence. After all, I really like to find some like-minded super trainers to build our own super battle zone! This is my dream, kid!"

"So, you really don't want to consider coming to the Battle Dome to become the new battle leader?"

“But it’s very free~~~!”

Yashida extended an olive branch again.

"Isn't it still working for your black-hearted boss? I don't want that."

"Hey, hey, hey! I used my connections to advance all the expenses for your trip! Are you so mean?"

"I can guarantee that from now on you will never find a boss as caring as me!"

"Thank you in advance, uncle!"

"You little brat! I'm only less than ten years older than you!"

The South left.

The trip to the battle frontier was also temporarily suspended after the Heather incident.

Because of the sudden explosion of Iron Warriors, the South now has to go to Padia, which is now the Puju area.

Looking at the back of the south.

Yashida muttered, "I really want to keep you here, but unfortunately~ those big shots behind you won't allow it~"

"I have to find a way to make you decide to stay in the battle frontier..."

"Well... let's do it..."
