Pokémon: Encounter

"Hahaha! I hope you are doing well, my friend from the south! I didn't expect that we would meet again in just two days! Sorry, sorry, please forgive me for not welcoming you in person!~"

(You little jerk! I invited you to come but you didn’t come! Now you come to my door on your own accord! You really saved me a lot of effort!)

"Hahaha! I can't help it~ I really have an important matter that I want to consult with Mr. Yu Jin! Otherwise, my journey to the Battle Frontier won't be able to continue!"

(Old Biden looks like a decent man, but you want to conquer the world with your ugly appearance? Conquer your grandma's legs! I will knock you over today!)

The two of them sat down with their own thoughts. Nan Fang glanced at Yu Jin who followed in and immediately greeted him.

"Eh? Old man, what happened to you? Did you fall?"

"Shouldn't I? Why do I look like I got beaten up?"

"Chief Barbato... the customs of your people... are not so welcoming..."

Nan Fang pretended to make a joke and said with feigned fear.

Barbato was not at all panicked when he heard this.

"Oh, it's really hard to explain... This matter is also my fault."

"Yesterday, Mr. Yu Jin took people from our tribe to negotiate with people from the neighboring Muha tribe..."

"Who would have thought that the people in their tribe would be so disrespectful of martial ethics and attack Mr. Yu Jin right in front of me..."

"It was my fault that I failed to protect Mr. Yujin... I feel guilty..."

As Barbato was speaking, he actually turned his head to look at Yu Jin and wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes.

"Ahem... It's like this... It looks like we'll have to use some tough tactics in the future negotiations."

"But we must not act rashly without a concrete plan."

"If that happens, many innocent people will be hurt..."

Yu Jin looked towards the south and said vaguely.

"Hey~ I thought it was something, if you two don't mind, how about letting me help you with this matter?"

"I'm not good at negotiation, but I'm very good at fighting!"

"No!"

Yu Jin blurted out with an anxious look on his face.

Barbato was so happy now. Not only did he offer himself to fight, but he also actively applied to fight?

The old lady really got into bed and made me laugh!

"Why not?"

Barbato turned his head and looked at Yu Jin, his expression faintly revealing a hint of threat.

"I have seen the strength of our little brother from the south. With his joining us, we will surely be able to defeat those cunning and despicable people on the other side!"

"Mr. Yu Jin! Tell me, am I right?"

Yu Jin had a bitter look on his face and thought something was wrong.

So confused... Nan Fang, why are you so confused...

"Yes, yes! Why not?"

"I can even beat you, old man, so why am I afraid that I can't beat them?"

"Don't worry, leave this matter to me!"

The South patted its chest and made a solemn promise.

Yu Jin was helpless. He had said everything he needed to say, and now he could only pray that Nan Fang would have some careful plan...

"Oh, right! Brother Nan Fang, what important matter do you want to discuss with Mr. Yu Jin?"

"If it's inconvenient, I'll leave this place to you. I'm going to go out and get some fresh air and rest."

Barbato seemed to be afraid that he seemed a little too eager, so he took the initiative to bring up the matter.

"Ah, it's all right! When we return victorious, won't it be nice to eat and chat while drinking fine wine and eating great meat?"

"Well, Chief Barbato, you won't fail to prepare something delicious for me, will you?"

"I heard that the food of our tribe is very different from that outside!"

Even if you are not in a hurry, I am. Hurry up and finish the get off work!

"Ah! No way! Even if the little brother from the south doesn't help us, I will definitely prepare a sumptuous meal for you!"

Nan Fang was so excited that he didn't even notice that there was something wrong with what he said. Fortunately, Barbato, who was filled with joy, didn't notice it either.

Only Yu Jin was there. He sat there blankly, looking at the two people in front of him competing with each other in exaggerated acting skills and fell into silence.

-

"This is it!"

Barbato brought Yu Jin and Nan Fang to the familiar beach.

"Wow, this place is really great. Believe me! If this place is developed into a beach resort, your tribe will definitely take off!"

Nan Fang looked at the beautiful scenery in front of him and exclaimed in admiration.

"To be honest, I do have the same idea."

"But..., this plan should be postponed. We have more important things to do before this~!"

Barbato's eyes flashed and he said with some pride.

"Yeah, that's right. Let's settle the tribal conflicts first."

"After all, you have to eat one bite at a time to eat it~"

"Yeah, yeah, that's what the little southern brother said."

Not noticing the teasing in Nanfang's tone, Barbato answered perfunctorily. His mind was now filled with thoughts of how to get Nanfang into the sea over there.

"Big Bird! Monarch Snake!"

Nan Fang suddenly called out his two old friends.

"Go hide in the forest over there first. If you find anything wrong later, attack immediately! Do you hear me?"

After receiving the order, the two of them staggered towards the nearby forest and hid their figures.

"Little brother from the South, what are you doing..."

Barbato narrowed his eyes slightly and asked with a somewhat unpleasant expression.

"Oh! I'm afraid that if the opponent doesn't follow the rules and launches a sneak attack, I'll have a chance to counterattack!"

"Otherwise, if we repeat the mistakes of Mr. Yu Jin, it will be more trouble than gain."

"After all, my handsome face is very enviable!"

"Uh, no? What's wrong?"

Nanfang asked, looking at Barbato seriously.

"Well... I think they won't cheat again this time. After all, they don't want to lose face in front of outsiders. With your presence, they should behave themselves. You should call them back!"

Barbato was somewhat unwilling and tried his best to persuade him.

"Ah? So if I take the initiative to stand on your side, will that bring shame to your tribe?"

"Uh... that makes sense, I think I should go back..."

As he spoke, Nan Fang made a gesture to walk back in the direction he came from.

"Hey hey hey! Um... never mind."

"I think you're right. After all, there are only zero and countless chances of a sneak attack. You did the right thing. It's better to be prepared!"

Barbato didn't want to give up such a good opportunity, so he could only follow Nan Fang's meaning.

"Well, OK! I'll do it for you later!"

After waiting for a while, Nan Fang almost couldn't hold back his laughter when he saw Barbato sweating profusely and racking his brains to think of how to coax him.

"Ah...~ Why haven't you come yet~"

"The weather is too hot. Looking at the vast ocean, it would be a waste of this trip if I don't go down to cool down."

"Mr. Barbato, will it interfere with my work if I go downstairs for a stroll?"

Nan Fang suddenly spoke up and asked Barbato.

"Uh..." Barbato was stunned. He didn't expect Nan Fang to make such a request. These two old ladies are really hiding in bed. I can't laugh anymore!

"Ahaha never mind, it was an oversight on my part."

"Oh, look at my brain, there are still several hours before the agreed time... I am so careless..."

Barbato slapped his forehead with his big hand, pretending to be annoyed, but in fact he just wanted to cover up the corners of his mouth that were more difficult to suppress than his second brother's.

"This is a rare opportunity, so go play in the sea for a while! I'll call you when the time comes!"

"Won't you come with me to cool off? I see you're sweating profusely too."

"I...I won't go. People like us who make a living by the sea are already a little tired of playing. We'll wait for you on the shore!"

"Okay then~"

Nanfang took off his clothes, shoes and socks, put them in his backpack and threw them aside, then turned around and ran to the sea excitedly. He was really happy, as Nanfang had not been to the beach to play for a long time.

Yu Jin wanted to speak up to stop Nan Fang, but was scared back by Barbato's threatening look.

"Wow! Not bad! The sea is warm on the surface but cool below! This feeling is really comfortable!"

Nan Fang felt that it was not enough and even soaked his entire body in the sea water.

"Hehe...yes, it is indeed very comfortable~"

"Next! I'll make you more comfortable!"

"Ah!? What did you say, Patriarch? I couldn't hear you clearly!" Nan Fang pretended to be dumb.

Suddenly, Nan Fang's whole body tensed up and he felt an icy cold touch on his legs.

It's the tentacles of a stinging jellyfish!

Nan Fang understood instantly, but it was too late because he found that his whole body could no longer move.

Apart from the tentacles that were gradually wrapping around his body, even moving his fingers became a luxury at this moment.

He was poisoned.

"Hahahaha! Should I say you are stupid or clumsy? Since you came to me on your own, I will not refuse you!"

Barbato laughed triumphantly. As soon as he finished speaking, a huge figure gradually rose from the sea.

Its head is blue with two large and one small red agate-like objects on it. Its eyes are on the black part of the lower body, and it has blue pincer-like objects growing out of it.

The number of poisonous tentacles of a typical stinging jellyfish is about 80. The longer it lives, the fewer tentacles it has.

Nan Fang turned his head with difficulty and observed the size of the venomous jellyfish that had tightly bound him and its only ten tentacles.

This stinging jellyfish has lived for quite a few years.

Standing on the shore, Yu Jin sighed heavily as he looked at Nan Fang, who had no chance of resistance left.

“What…what is going on?!”

"I can't move!"

"Patriarch! Old man! Please save me!"

Nanfang showed a terrified expression and shouted for help towards the shore.

Yu Jin frowned. Why was he still acting?

"Hahaha, Nan Fang, ah Nan Fang! You can't escape now! Congratulations, Yu Jin! I have gained another great general!"

"Ah!? I don't understand what you are saying? Come and save me!"

Barbato snorted coldly and waved at the giant stinging jellyfish. It slowly moved to the shore with Nan Fang.

"Let me tell you! This is all just a scam!" Barbato seemed very happy.

Before Barbato could say anything more, Nan Fang's expression gradually became dull, and then instantly turned into madness.

"Big Bird! Monarch Snake!"

"Come and save me!!!"

"Damn! I almost forgot about these two things! Wait a minute! Let me tell you..."

Just as Barbato was about to speak, a strong wind suddenly blew up on the beach. A fierce tornado swept up gusts of sand and covered everyone.

Barbato, with his mouth full of sand, was now speechless.

Before the stinging jellyfish sank into the sea, large leaves mixed with sand and gravel suddenly rushed towards it.

While it was stunned, a beam of white light instantly penetrated it. The tentacle of the stinging jellyfish that was entangled with the south also said goodbye to its owner immediately.

The bird carrying the immobile Nanfang disappeared into the horizon in an instant.

The backpack containing southern clothes was also quietly pulled away by a vine in the chaos.

It all seemed to be fleeting.

Barbato opened his eyes and looked at the devastated beach in front of him, and instantly anger filled his heart.

"Zhao! He can't run far! Go find him!"

Yu Jin looked a little melancholy. Is this your solution?

Ugh......

-

The bird was flying at high speed in the sky with Nanfang on its back. After a while, it saw the black flying device that had been waiting there for a long time.

"I see! Pidgeot is coming this way!"

"Open the hatch!"

Daigo, who had short blue-silver hair, immediately gave the order.

The Pidgeot landed, and Nanfang, with a grim face, covered his stomach and endured the severe pain in his abdomen, looking at Daigo with a miserable smile.

"Ahem...freshly-made...giant, stinging jellyfish venom...has arrived!"

Daigo shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"You are really a lunatic... You actually used this method to get the latest sample..."

Recalling the past, Nanfang rejected Daigo's method of finding a random person from the Harijin tribe to take a blood sample.

He said something like the data was inaccurate and could easily alert the enemy.

"Well... this is my... self-cultivation as a professional actor!"

"From now on...it's up to you...!"

"Do not worry!"

“We are also professional in research.”
