Pokémon: Encounter

"It seems you have already guessed their identities."

"Well, relax and don't be nervous."

"Just think of us as tourists who have come together for a pleasant trip because of a wonderful fate."

What a wonderful fate that only a god would believe in, and what a wonderful journey.

Sitting among a group of bigwigs, Nan Fang couldn't help but shiver.

It was not only because they were strong and had a high status, but this factor was only a small part. More importantly, Nan Fang remembered what Nika, the captain of the Puju team, had said to him during the college competition.

【Dr. Olin is now missing. But we have obtained very important information from the last message she sent before she disappeared!

About five years later! The crisis of the Padiya Pit is about to break out! More ancient and future Pokémon will appear on the land of Padiya!

By then, the Pokémon ecosystem around the world will be severely damaged, and the earth will be devastated!

but!

Before that time, a young adventurer will appear! He will carry the key to inheritance and save the world and all of Padiya! 】

[That is to say! Regardless of whether you are the person in the prophecy or not! We all hope that you can come to Padiya while ensuring your own safety!

Only when there is hope can there be opportunities! 】

Nan Fang subconsciously touched the Poké Ball of the Azure Blade Demon at his waist.

Counting the time, it has been almost two and a half years since that competition.

Fortunately, it's okay... Just average, there's still plenty of time...

Thinking of this, Nan Fang felt relieved.

"This time, our champion captain, Mr. Nan Fang, finally wants to travel to our Padia?"

Ye Ci squinted his eyes and smiled, speaking slowly towards the south.

Nan Fang's heart, which had been relieved, was weighed down again.

Sure enough, women are fickle.

"Ahem, that... um, ah... I..."

"Hahahaha, I'm kidding little Mr. Southern."

"We just came from planting flowers, so we understand that you are usually busy with official duties."

“And now he’s selflessly doing such great things in the South Island.”

"We have the utmost respect for you."

"Besides, the prophecy is groundless and mysterious. As the current guardians of Padiya, how can we pin all our hopes on such an illusory thing?"

"The situation in Puju is relatively stable now, and Area Zero has been completely blocked by us."

"I think it won't be long before we can unravel the mystery of the giant pit and restore peace to Puju."

As expected of being the chief champion of Puju, Ye Ci’s speech did not contain any motivation or high emotions. It was just like an ordinary sister next door chatting with you about ordinary trivial matters.

There are only two words to describe what the South feels like.

confidence.

Absolute confidence.

Tsk tsk tsk, look at him, and then look at that old man Long whose mouth is full of "sweetness".

I really don't know, I was taken aback.

gap.

Absolute difference.

"Yeci~ Please stop putting pressure on other children~"

"Brother Nan is busy enough right now. He just had a fight with the Three Gods of South Island and the regional champion."

"Oh yes, it seems that I just beat up another Sea Eagle lackey whose strength is almost as strong as that of the king."

"Alas~ The young are really formidable~"

"Xin Li, be careful with your words." Ye Ci said sternly.

"What's the matter? I didn't say anything wrong. Besides, the little brother from the south is not an outsider. He is the prophet of our Puju!"

"Tell me if I'm right, little Poppy!"

"Yeah!!! Sister Xinli is right!"

The little Lolita looked like she supported Xin Li unconditionally.

"Xiao Ci didn't ask you to be on guard against the South."

"We have reached a cooperative alliance with the flower growers."

"How could there be any problem for a fellow from the South who is highly praised by Mr. Long Xing?"

"When you go out, be careful with your words and actions. Don't act like a child and throw tantrums. You are already an adult, Xin Li."

"Uncle Yasaku! Are you referring to Xiao Bo Pi? She doesn't understand, but I don't understand too? You are talking about Xiao Bo Pi!"

Hassaku shook his head helplessly.

"Aoki, you should also say something to her. She is so dishonest all day long. How disgraceful!"

"Well...Okay. I'll talk to you after I finish my next business at the company...I'm so tired..."

Aoki yawned and continued to stare blankly out the window.

The person who suddenly turned around and spoke was the handsome "young man" with long flaxen hair sitting in the front. She turned out to be a lady named Xin Li.

The little girl's name is Poppy.

The uncle who looks like the teacher is named Hasaku.

The remaining office worker who always looks tired is called Aoki.

Done.

Padiya, no, now the chief champion of the Puju region and their four heavenly kings are all in place.

Such a large lineup actually took a plane to discuss business in person...

It seems that the situation in the giant pit may not be as easy as Ye Ci said.

"I want to go to Area Zero."

Nan Fang looked at Ye Ci and suddenly spoke.

"To be honest, due to some kind of coincidence, there is a paradoxical Pokémon from the future, the Iron Warrior, next to me now."

"And this trip to Puju is precisely because my Iron Warrior has shown some abnormal conditions."

"It is very likely related to the environment of Area Zero."

"So, even if it's just for the Iron Warrior, I want to go into Area Zero and find out what's going on."

"And... I think I should be able to get something that you don't know about Area Zero... Or rather, this is a... hunch."

I believe Ye Ci and the others are also aware of these things.

Therefore, there is no need to hide things from them, and doing so may only increase their dislike for you.

Now that he has the opportunity to meet the top management of these orange trees head-on, Nan Fang has decided to apply directly.

Moreover, Nanfang had been to the bottom of Area Zero because of Celebi, and the mysterious Sakaki with glasses was also met there.

Nan Fang was conflicted about this matter. He didn't know whether he should tell Ye Ci and the others about it.

"Is that so..."

Ye Ci pinched his chin and thought for a moment.

"Well, I can approve your request."

Ye Ci agreed.

"However, Area Zero is extremely dangerous. Even with our current technology, we can only reach the bottom of the giant pit. That is the fourth observation station opened up by our ancestors."

"And according to what we know, there should be a layer of space below the Fourth Observatory that we cannot reach at present."

"The most important thing is... the outer area of ​​Area Zero is now almost completely covered with paradoxical Pokémon from the future or ancient times."

"If you want to get to the bottom, it's as difficult as climbing to heaven."

"All we can do now is to trap as many paradoxical Pokémon as possible in the giant pit."

"In other words, even if we give our all, we can only barely reach the third observation station in the middle layer."

Ye Ci looked at Nan Fang steadily and said in a deep voice.

Is the current situation already so bad?

The South can understand this.

In the current world environment, it is impossible for Puju to invest all its financial and material resources into the Zero Zone. That would be like exposing its own backyard to those "evil dogs" who are eyeing Puju covetously.

This is also one of the most important reasons why Ye Ci and his team visited the flower planting and South Island.

"Just let me go by myself."

The South did not hesitate.

Everyone else was surprised by Nan Fang's determination. Even Ye Ci, who was looking into his eyes, was filled with emotion.

“Thank you for your understanding…”

Ye Ci paused for a moment, and finally could only express his sincere thanks.

As the current top leader of Puju, she has too many things to take care of.

By the way, the top leaders of each region and their high-level systems are different. Some are led by the best people in the Pokémon League, such as Pu Ju. This is why Nan Fang was so surprised when he saw that all of them were mobilized.

Others have a president or chairman elected by the people and some shared decision-making systems, such as sea eagles and flower planting.

After that, the atmosphere among the group became more relaxed.

Their final destination is Puju College.

Ye Ci also made a decision immediately. After meeting Clavel, the principal of Puju College, he immediately began to prepare the materials needed for the expedition to the south.

Time flies by.

Looking out the window, the faint outline of the mysterious giant pit can be seen in the distance to the south.

"The Padia Pit."

"I am back."
