Pokémon: Encounter

The huge crisis brought by Teton ended in the blink of an eye.

It seems a bit sloppy.

Nan Fang exhaled a breath of foul air, and with a "Puff!", he fell to the ground with his arms and legs spread out. He breathed in the air around him in big gulps as if he had just escaped from drowning. He was sweating all over as if he had just walked out of a sauna.

In order to avoid adding unnecessary burden to Nan Fang, Pidgeot and the others immediately released their Mega and Tai Jing states and flocked to Nan Fang.

After all, our sister snake knows how to take care of people. It immediately stretched out two vines and connected them together, then formed a circle to isolate the south from everyone and keep a certain distance.

Otherwise, with the addition of the two big guys, Gulden and Milden, the South would definitely be suffocated.

[You have a group of good partners who trust you very much. ]

[You also have a good trainer who treats people sincerely. ]

[I really envy your relationship! ]

The star crystal-shaped Taile Bagos suddenly spoke, its voice a little closer to that of a child of a few years old. But it was still dazzling and full of divinity at this moment.

Nan Fang barely raised his head.

"Thank you, Tailebagos. Without you, we have no idea what the final outcome would be."

[Don't thank me, this is the result of the joint efforts between you and your partners. ]

【And I also want to thank you! South! 】

If I hadn’t met you, I don’t know where I would be.

"Haha, no matter how your life goes, you should cherish your life~"

"It is fate that brought us together here."

Taile Bagos tilted his head as if he didn't quite understand the meaning of the word "fate", but it sounded very happy.

[Yeah! It's fate! ]

Taile Bagos's face was full of smiles.

[Oh, the South! ]

[I sense a somewhat weak aura in you.]

[It should really need my help now. ]

Nan Fang was a little flustered after hearing this, but he immediately took out the Iron Warrior's Poké Ball steadily. He was still thinking about how to get Tailebagos to help him, but he didn't expect it to speak first.

Looking at the Iron Warrior lying in front of him with his eyes closed, Tailebagos gently floated just above the Iron Warrior.

It gently closed its eyes. As blue air waves rippled out from Tailebagos' body, a soft glow suddenly rose slowly from the crystal base under Tailebagos' body.

"Crack——!"

With the sound of shattering, the crystal base slowly scattered into tiny starlights, and gradually covered the body of the Iron Warrior on the ground. Until the entire base completely disappeared, Taile Bagos' body also underwent new changes.

The eighteen pieces of patterned crystals representing different properties that were rotating around Taile Bagos disappeared in front of everyone. The small crown on the shell also disappeared. The crystal texture that was unique to Taijinghua also gradually faded, restoring its original appearance.

A blue crystal turtle with a long furry tail and whiskers. The eighteen dark blue pentagonal crystals on its shell are clearly visible.

This is not the end yet. As the soft light continued to shine, Tailebagos actually changed again.

Its size shrank again, and even its shell and fur gradually degenerated.

The light didn't last long. Like a short but intense storm, it gradually weakened and finally dissipated after a few minutes.

As time went by, the amazing brilliance gradually faded, as if it was blown away by a breeze. The originally bright and shining space also returned to peace and tranquility, as if everything that had just happened was just a beautiful dream.

Finally, a small thing that looked like a tortoise and was dark blue in color fell from midair. Nan Fang was quick to catch it.

Tailebagos opened his eyes and blinked as he looked towards the south.

"Bago~Bago~!"

“Ba——~!”

This!? It’s not... Eh!??

Looking at the little blue turtle in his arms that looked like a newborn baby, Nan Fang suddenly lost his composure.

It seems... stupid?

It was obvious that Taile Bagos had lost his divinity. Nan Fang even felt that he had lost his basic self-awareness. He now had a pair of big, shining light blue eyes, as if he was full of curiosity about everything in front of him.

It kept struggling in Nanfang's arms, wanting to jump to the ground immediately.

It wasn't afraid of the south, it just wanted to play with the big guys around it. Sometimes it climbed on the back of the big bird, sometimes stepped on the claws of Absol, sometimes scratched the long feathers of Gul'ton, and sometimes pulled the lightning tail of Mil'ton.

I just want you to help a group of iron warriors restore their energy. I don't want you to regain your youth and dedicate half of your life to them, right?

There are some headaches in the south.

It seemed as if I suddenly owed the other party a considerable favor.

After transforming into its normal form, Tailebagos has longer limbs, its shell and body are blue-green hexagonal crystals, and a pattern symbolizing Taicrystalization is engraved on its back.

Its neck and limbs are covered with blue ring-shaped objects, inlaid with blue four-pointed star-shaped crystals, and the tip of its tail is also in the shape of a four-pointed star.

There were blue-green crystal decorations hanging around its head, and on top of its head, three connected blue-purple gradient diamond-shaped crystals formed a braid-like shape.

Nan Fang squatted down and looked at the cute naughty boy in front of him, feeling extremely guilty.

"You can't even speak now?"

"Ugh..."

[Even if Tailebagos doesn't degenerate, it will soon enter a dormant state again. ]

It gave me all its power.

【It is to deal with other crises that are coming in the future. 】

"Oh... So that's how it is..."

"Now that you say that, I feel a little better..."

"By the way, how did you know that?"

"Hmm!? Wait a minute...Who was talking to me just now?"

"Fuck!!!"

Nan Fang turned his head and looked behind him. The iron warrior, whose whole body had become sparkling and had obviously entered the crystallization state, was standing there, looking at him with a smile on his face.

The cold and frosty iron lump of the Iron Warrior would never smile. It's not that he is cold, but that he has a paralyzed face. It's physically impossible to smile.

But for some reason, Nan Fang could feel that the Iron Warrior was smiling at this moment.

Looking at the big pink heart crown with white wings and a pink bow on the Iron Warrior's head, Nan Fang stood there in a daze.

"Don't scare me, buddy!"

"You were just... talking to me???"

The Iron Warrior of Taijing Fairy was stunned for a moment, then turned around and looked around.

【if not? 】

[After being together for such a long time, this is the first time we communicate in this way. 】

[This feeling is really amazing! ]

"No, my friend... So you... are actually a girl?"

【......】.

This is the South, the focus will always catch you off guard.

But it wasn't just Nan Fang, even his former brothers and sisters were also shocked. The most exaggerated one was the Cang Yan Blade Ghost who used to hang out with the Iron Warrior all day.

Um, that's not right. Now we can no longer use such an indecent word as 'muddling around'.

【Stop making trouble.】

[For a paradoxical Pokémon like me, there is no gender distinction any longer. ]

The Iron Warrior's tone was somewhat calm and helpless. But Nan Fang seemed to feel that there was also a hint of sadness and resentment in it.

"Well~ it doesn't matter~"

"I just thought you were a girl. Your voice is the same as that of human girls."

"If Ruoruo knew this, she would definitely be very happy for you!"

"A Tie, you... won't mind, right?"

Nan Fang cautiously peeked at the Iron Warrior's reaction, and when he found that it did not show any resistance, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

【Thank you, South. 】

How could the Iron Warrior, who had followed Nan Fang for a long time, not understand his intentions? He simply wanted to have a sense of belonging and a home of his own. The Iron Warrior would never forget the scene of this man accompanying him alone on that starry night.

"Hahaha! Since everything is going well for everyone, let's go back now!"

"Let's go find Lao Ao's big sister first. We'll take her out of this pit and then give her a good beating!"

"No! It's my treat this time!"

"Girls always stay in a place like this. They are almost going crazy!"

How can a celebratory meal be missing to complete the perfect ending? Nan Fang is extremely happy now.

【Um! 】

The Iron Warrior returned to his original form and followed Nan Fang silently.
