Pokémon: Encounter

"Toga!"

"Miru?"

【Come and repeat after me! South! Idiot!】

【Nan-Woof? Bang-Wan?】

[No, no! It's Nanfang! Idiot!]

【Nan-fang? Idiot! 】

[Yeah, yeah, yeah! I learned the last sentence pretty quickly, but it’s enough. ]

(?ˉ??ˉ??)! ! !

After saying goodbye to Lillian and hanging out for two more days, we were on the plane to the South Island.

Nan Fang made an unprecedented extravagant move and upgraded the economy class ticket that Yashida had booked for him to first class.

Because there is no way to let these two little guys out in economy class or business class.

After all, for the Curly-eared Cat, it has left the hometown where it has lived since childhood, so let it say goodbye to its hometown from a different perspective.

Although it is very likely that I will come back here in the future, there will be no chance at least in the short term.

But who knew that Juanjuan'er was originally a loner, and he didn't miss the environment he was in before. He just glanced at it calmly and ignored it.

At this time, Qingteng Snake, as the new senior sister, stood up and took the initiative to take on the important task of teaching Juanjuaner Chinese.

Then came the scene at the beginning.

Although Juanjuan'er is devoted to martial arts, she is still like a little girl who is just beginning to understand things.

When faced with new companions and the kindness of the green vine snake, it showed curiosity and happiness that was in keeping with its age.

What's more, the Green Vine Snake, as its third senior sister, is also a fellow disciple of Teacher Lu, so the relationship between the two of them is closer.

Looking at the Southern Curly-Eared Dog who was sleeping soundly with his head covered, he pointed at him with a smile.

【Fool! 】

【stupid! 】

"Snapped--!"

The vines of the green vine snake tapped the little head of Curly-Eared Cat lightly.

[Although I don't understand what you are saying, it must be some bad words. ]

【As a girl, you are not allowed to say bad words. 】

Qingteng Snake's tone left no room for doubt. Juanjuan'er covered his forehead with his hands, looking aggrieved and resentful.

What is this... Why can you do it but I can't? Is this considered peer bullying?

The green vine snake narrowed its eyes and tilted its neck, looking very domineering.

[Because I am the queen. ]

Nanfang woke up slowly to the sound of the two little guys playing.

"Um...are we there yet?"

Nan Fang glanced at the darkness outside the window, then lay back down.

It was still early, and the flight would arrive early tomorrow morning. The destination was Taozi City, where the battle pipeline was located.

-

"Eh? Not here?"

Nanfang was speechless when he saw the building in front of him that looked exactly like a spoon snake.

The two pillars in front of the door were the two fangs in the mouth of the fan spoon snake. The scarlet tongue extended upwards to the roof, probably acting as a lightning rod.

Being able to use the angry bloody mouth of the rice spoon snake as the door of the battle facility...Who is this leader trying to scare away?

Looking at the leader named Xiao Ji in the photo, she is obviously a tall big sister with long black hair, but I didn’t expect her to be such a unique person.

"Yes, that's right. Our leader went out a few days ago and hasn't come back yet. I heard that he went on some field trip."

“I don’t know any more details.”

A young girl who looked like a staff member here stood in front of the facility, under a green fence with a sign saying "Under Construction, No Entry for Unauthorized Persons" and apologized to Nan Fang.

"Did you go to inspect the renovation? Well, I also think it's time to change the facade. It's simply too scary!" Nan Fang nodded in agreement.

“Um… Actually, this is what it looks like after we renovated it. Before, it was just a purple water pipe.”

"Our leader thought the original facility was too unspiritual, so he decided on this plan... It will probably be completed in less than a week."

"Our leader went to inspect the interior decoration. He said he wanted to design something scary, and said he wanted to design some gadgets that suit the leader's temperament."

This girl seemed to have accidentally said something outrageous just now.

"Um...when will she be able to come back?" Nan Fang could only ask weakly.

"Well...it's hard to say. Maybe it's today, maybe tomorrow, or maybe a few days later."

"However, even if our leader returns, the battle site against the water pipes is currently unusable. It will take at least a week."

"How about this, you leave me your phone number and I'll notify you as soon as our leader comes back."

"Do you think this is okay?"

The little girl showed her two little canine teeth and put on a standard professional smile.

The South is helpless, it seems that this is the only way to go for now.

After bidding farewell to the little girl, Nan Fang walked aimlessly on the street. In his mind, he had already begun to think about how to get some more "working funds" from Yashida.

I am now an unemployed vagrant, so I have to be frugal with my money. There are still several mouths to feed at home.

"Handsome guy! Do you want to know about swimming and fitness? Bring your Pokémon to interact closely with our girls and their Pokémon?"

"Sorry, no time."

"Sir! We can provide you and your Pokémon with a free maintenance experience! It's free of charge!"

"I'm sorry, I'm afraid you will peel off a layer of skin when I go in."

"Hey young man! This is the best men's hospital in Taozi City! Do you want to go and have a look? They can do anything!"

"...".

"Auntie, I'm not sick."

"You can go even if you are not sick! I will help you regain your masculinity! No! I will help you regain your masculinity by doing it multiple times a night!"

"Auntie, has anyone ever told you that you know too much..."

"Haunted house! Haunted house! The latest product from Peach City! The largest horror park in all of South Island! An escape room filled with traps and puzzles! Create the most realistic horror scene for you! The first twenty visitors can experience it for free!"

......

After dealing with the sales pitches and advertisements along the way, Nanfang was already feeling thirsty. Looking at the long line of colorful cold drink stores around him, Nanfang finally chose a cold drink store with a white fat doll in a red cape standing outside. Even though there was already a long queue at the door of their store.

"Tsk, it turns out that no matter where we go, our Xiaoxue is still the most friendly~"

Nan Fang quickly walked to the end of the team to prevent himself from falling behind again.

"Hey, Xiang! Let's go buy three glasses of lemonade first!"

"Their lemonade is cheap and clean. We're definitely going to be thirsty when we go to the haunted house later!"

"If it doesn't work, you can use it as a weapon when you're scared!!!"

"No, Xiaohua... I think we are not allowed to bring our own drinks in the escape room..."

"What does it matter? Xiao Ji is their partner, and she gets the lion's share of the profits! Are we not allowed to use this little privilege?"

"But..."

"Oh, it's nothing!"

"Tell me! Are you scared? If you are scared, just tell me earlier! We can not go~"

"It's just that it's a bit of a waste that Xiao Ji came to us so early~ Alas~"

"I...! I'm not afraid!"

"Hey, hey! If you're not afraid, then let's go! Go buy some water first! Hurry up and get some!"

As if hearing two familiar voices, Nan Fang turned his head and looked behind him. As expected, it was Wen Xiaohua and Huangguaxiang.

"Hey! Long time no see!"

Nan Fang took the initiative to say hello.

"Ah! It's you! Why are you here!?"

Suddenly hearing Nan Fang's voice, the two girls were also very surprised. Then Wen Xiaohua came over very naturally and naturally cut in line in front of Nan Fang. At first, the cucumber fragrance was a little hard to get rid of, but after being pulled over by Wen Xiaohua, she stood there a little shyly with her head down and dared not speak.

"What are you afraid of? We are all acquaintances. There's nothing to be embarrassed about cutting in line~" Wen Xiaohua acted as if it was a matter of course.

The crowd standing behind Nan Fang were initially somewhat dissatisfied, but after seeing that they were two beautiful women, they quietly retreated.

"Hey! One of you is a rich girl from up there, and the other is a super powerful leader of a combat facility."

"You're not going to compete with a commoner like me for this small drink, are you?"

He didn't mean to blame them for cutting in line, but Nan Fang didn't understand why they wanted to drink a cold drink that cost only a few dollars a cup when there were so many people queuing.

"What you said is not right! What's wrong with Xiaoxue? Can't we drink with Xiaoxue? Who are you looking down on?" Wen Xiaohua is still the same. After getting familiar with her, you will find that in some aspects, she is actually not much different from a child.

Being suddenly confronted, Nan Fang just shrugged his shoulders and didn't respond.

While waiting in line, Nan Fang also briefly talked about his experiences in the Puju area. After listening to him, both of them expressed their feelings about Nan Fang's actions.

"Since all the great heroes of Puju are here, please line up for us. We two sisters will go there and wait for you! Oh, remember to order three glasses of lemonade! If you want to drink too, that's four!"

Wen Xiaohua pointed at the bench in the shade and immediately pulled Huangguaxiang over.

After waiting for nearly half an hour, Nan Fang came back tiredly with three glasses of lemonade in his hands. Beside him, the two little guys, Green Ivy Snake and Curly Ear, were also holding a glass of ice water each and sucking happily.

"Wow! Is this your new Pokémon? It's so cute!" Huangguaxiang said happily when she saw the Curly-eared Pokémon with one ear curled up.

"Oh? Even that little vine snake has evolved? It seems that you have a lot of experience!" Wen Xiaohua greeted the green vine snake enthusiastically when he saw his 'old acquaintance'. The arrogant snake sister just glanced at it and ignored it. Although it already knew that this woman had no ill will towards them before, it still disliked her very much.

"I'm here to challenge the battle facilities. What about you? What are you here for? Do you really have so much free time for the whole day?" Nan Fang took a sip of ice water to reward his stomach.

"Hehe~~~" Wen Xiaohua grinned evilly.

"You'll never guess!"

"Xiao Ji, the leader of the battle pipeline, is also our good friend!"

"I heard she opened a new horror-themed escape room! It opens today!"

"So today we are here to support her~!"

Nan Fang was shocked, but after careful inquiry, he found out that Xiao Ji was actually just a partner in this. Xiao Ji invested in the company and followed the operator and designer to learn about the layout and mechanism.

Why is Xiao Ji learning this?

Nan Fang recalled what the little girl had said to him before, and felt a chill in his heart.

"You don't have anything to do right now, so why don't you come with us for a tour?"

"I heard from Xiao Ji that she can only return to the battle channel after she finishes the things she has done in the past few days!"

"How about you take this opportunity to get to know Xiao Ji in advance?"

Wen Xiaohua extended an invitation to the south.

"Oh yeah, I heard that everyone can bring a Pokémon with them to this haunted house, but it can only be a small Pokémon."

Nan Fang had no objection to this, mainly because he could get to meet Xiao Ji.

If you are lucky, you may not have to wait until the battle pipeline is completed before you can challenge Xiao Ji, the battle leader. If not, it is also a good choice to relax.

"Okay, then I'll go and take a look with you guys."

As soon as Nan Fang finished speaking, there was a "pop" sound, and the Green Ivy Snake, who had just stood beside Nan Fang, actually took the initiative to open his Poké Ball and returned to it, even leaving behind the half-full cup of lemonade. But Curly Ear was quick and caught it easily with his long ears.

"Are you feeling unwell?"

Nan Fang was stunned by Sister Snake's operation, and then he took out its Poké Ball and wanted to release it again to ask for clarification. The physical and mental health of one's own Pokémon must always be paid attention to.

【roll! 】

Ok?

An angry female voice sounded in Nan Fang's mind.

After hesitating for a moment, Nan Fang immediately showed an expression of surprise.

"You can use waveguide to talk to me!!!" This is an amazing discovery.

But think about it, that Lucario can use waveguide to communicate with human's mind. There is no reason why the Green Ivy Snake who has received the true teachings of Master Lu can't do this.

"Sister Snake! Say something more for me to hear!"

"Hahahaha! Finally there comes a day like this! You are my 'Meow Meow'! That's awesome!"

At this moment, Nan Fang was like a little child who accidentally got the toy he had always dreamed of, and was dancing with excitement on the spot.

"Well, I didn't expect Nan Fang to be so... passionate about his Pokémon... He is indeed a man who can win the championship and take on legendary Pokémons alone to defeat the gym and conquer the battle frontier..."

Huangguaxiang thought about her wording and whispered to Wen Xiaohua.

"= =."

"Isn't he simply sick?"

"Can't he see that the Green Ivy Snake immediately hid in the Poké Ball after hearing that we were going to the haunted house?"

"What a straight man of steel..."

"But speaking of which, I didn't expect such a proud green vine snake to be afraid of 'ghosts'. It's kind of cute when you think about it~"

Wen Xiaohua gave her signature smirk.
