Pokémon: Encounter

"Phew... That was a close call. I felt like I was almost dead..."

Nanfang brushed off the sand on his body, rubbed his sore shoulders, and stood up from the makeshift stretcher, then looked at Daigo as if nothing had happened and asked.

"Well, what was the result?"

Daigo was speechless as he watched Nanfang become full of energy again in less than half an hour.

"Should I say you are as strong as an ox, or should I say you are blessed with a long life..."

"The toxins in your body before were enough to paralyze a Boskodora."

"Nonsense, Boskodora is a steel-type and it is immune to poisoning!" Nan Fang said as he walked towards the experimental table in front of Daigo.

Daigo smiled helplessly and shook his head.

"Now I understand why you were the only one who could defeat 'me' under those circumstances."

"Oh? You remember?"

“I just have some vague memories.” Daigo smiled and looked towards the south.

"Also, some memories that shouldn't belong to me also appeared in my mind."

"I seem to know some amazing secrets."

Daigo's light blue eyes stared quietly at the south, as if he wanted to confirm something from his eyes.

"Ahaha~ Anyway, as long as you're okay, it doesn't matter what the secret is. It's good for you to be honest right now~"

"Eh? What's going on? Can this poison be cured?"

Nan Fang laughed and changed the subject.

Daigo didn't pursue the matter any further. He turned around and looked at the staff in white coats who were still busy at work.

"Compared to the toxins carried by ordinary stinging jellyfish, the toxins of this giant stinging jellyfish are more complex."

"However, fortunately, you brought enough toxins with you personally."

"Through your serum, we have successfully created an effective antidote."

"Now all that's left is the final batch of production."

"You... the word 'crazy' really was born to describe you."

"Hey, I'll take it as a compliment."

"But to be honest, I was somewhat confident before making this decision. With the blessings of many 'good partners', I think I should be able to bear it all."

"But fortunately, I won the bet."

Nan Fang grinned as if he had won some great victory.

"What should we do next? Do you need me to dispatch some people to help you take down the Harijin tribe and Barbato directly?"

"I still have some rights now. What's more, what Barbato has done now is enough for me to arrest him by force." Daigo said confidently to Nan Fang.

"Don't!"

"He doesn't know yet that I have mobilized people and made the antidote. He still has many innocent children as hostages. If you really lead your team to crush Harry, I'm not sure he will do anything crazy."

"I'd better go on my own."

"My performance is not over yet."

"Well, I'll wait here for your next instructions. Although I won't worry about anything considering your strength, please be careful."

"Well, thanks! When this is over, I'll invite you to my hometown for dinner~!"

"It's a word."

Nan Fang took the large glass-encapsulated antidote handed to him by the staff and stuffed it into his backpack. As long as he returned to the tribe and placed the antidote in their water source, within a day, all the hostages in the entire Harijin tribe would be completely rescued without anyone noticing.

Then, the rest will be easy.

After bidding farewell to Daigo, Nanfang once again boarded the Pidgeot and flew back to a place not far from where he had been ambushed before.

In order to make the play more realistic, Nan Fang took off his clothes again and put the giant bird and the monarch snake outside. He then temporarily gave the can of antidote to them for safekeeping and told them that they just had to hide themselves around the tribe.

After preparing all this, Nan Fang pretended to faint and fell to the ground completely powerless.

Just treat it as making up for the sleep he got yesterday. Anyway, he had the giant bird and the monarch snake by his side to protect him secretly, so Nan Fang fell asleep with peace of mind.

-

"found it!"

"He fainted here!"

Soon, Babato led his tribe to search for Nanfang. The reason why all the tribe members were mobilized was because Babato ordered that Nanfang had just attacked him and Mr. Yujin, and then escaped with serious injuries.

The people of the entire tribe admired Yu Jin as much as they admired their own family leader, so they were all filled with righteous indignation and wanted to find this "shameless" attacker.

"Bring back!"

Barbato snorted coldly and ordered his men to drag away Nanfang, who had fallen asleep.

"Wow——!"

A basin of cold water was suddenly poured over his head, waking Nan Fang up instantly.

"Zhao! Who the hell..."

Nan Fang, who was almost exposed, came back to his senses immediately. After seeing Barbato and Yu Jin clearly in front of him, he immediately put on a horrified expression.

"You...what did you do to me!?" Nan Fang's eyes were red as he screamed at Barbato.

At this time, he was tied to a wooden stake and could not move.

"Heh, young people are in good shape. They can actually fall asleep as soon as they lie down."

"Your stomach doesn't hurt anymore?"

As he was speaking, Barbato suddenly snapped his fingers and looked coldly towards the south.

Ok?

Ok?

The two of them stared at each other in bewilderment.

Barbato: What's going on? Why isn't he having an attack?

Nan Fang: What are you doing? Are you trying to show off in front of me?

After glancing at Yu Jin, who had a strange expression on his face, Nan Fang immediately reacted.

"Ouch! It hurts!"

"My head hurts! Master, please stop chanting...! Oh no, my stomach hurts... Oh, is it my stomach or my head!!!"

"Let me go! I can't stand it anymore!!!"

Heart-wrenching screams rang out in the open space. Seeing the Southern Barbato in agony, he finally dispelled his doubts.

"I'm going to teach you a lesson! I'm going to teach you a lesson! Let you run away from me!"

"Run! Run! Are you running again!?"

Barbato was so angry that he punched and kicked Nan Fang. To be honest, Nan Fang didn't feel much pain. Barbato's attack was just like a tickle to him. But for the sake of the authenticity of the performance, Nan Fang could only cooperate as much as possible.

His body pretended to be poisoned, he begged for mercy, but in his heart he was silently counting how many times Barbato hit him.

"That's it. Beating him up will have a huge impact on your next plan."

"You don't want things to be exposed in advance, right?"

Yu Jin couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up to stop them.

Barbato had also calmed down by now. He walked up to Nan Fang, turned his handsome face over, and glared at him viciously.

[Fuck! If you dare to spit at me! I will break free from the ropes and knock you out right now! I promise!]

Nan Fang was weighing his bottom line in his heart, but fear was still visible on his face.

"Brat! I'm telling you the truth! That stinging jellyfish is my Pokémon! Now you're under my control!"

"If you want to live, just listen to me!"

"...".

What followed was more than ten minutes of...persuasion to surrender?

In short, Nan Fang nodded obediently after listening to it.

Barbato's next plan is to follow Yu Jin to the remaining two battle facilities of the Southern Speed ​​Pass, and then gather seven battle leaders to poison and control them to complete his "grand" revenge and domination plan.

How should I put it? It sounds rigorous and reasonable, but also sloppy and stupid. To use the terminology of the novel... it's a bit poisonous.

"It's not like you can just collect seven dragon balls and make a wish to the dragon...your wish can be fulfilled so easily..." Nan Fang muttered softly.

"What did you say!?"

"Uh, nothing! I plan on following your orders."

"After all... that poison really hurts... it hurts so much..."

"Humph, it's good to know!"

"Next, I will create an image for you that you can reform and integrate into our tribe."

"From now on, you will be like Yu Jin and just follow my orders at any time."

"Maybe you don't care about Yu Jin and the lives of these children, but your life is firmly in my hands!"

"Even if I die, you won't get any good! Do you understand me?"

Nan Fang nodded again.

Things were developing in the direction that the South had planned.

After following the two men back to the Harijin tribe, Nanfang was arranged to stay in another shed far away from Yujin and was assigned a special person to guard it.

That night.

The tribe was quiet and dark.

The South opened its shining eyes.

"Tsk, there's really no challenge at all~"
