Pokémon: Encounter

Chapter 49: The African Chief Who Failed to Live

Everyone put away their Pokémon, for fear that the more lively Pokémon would damage the murals, such as Nan Fang's Shuttlecock Cotton and Guo Qi's Monkey Monster.

It's strange to say that Guo Qi, such a quiet and socially anxious person, would have a Pokémon with such a hot temper as Monkey Monster. In Guo Qi's words, he accidentally saved an injured Monkey Monster once, and Monkey Monster wanted to follow him after recovering. Guo Qi thought that he could also improve his social skills, and then they hit it off.

"Practice social skills? Are you sure that when the monkey monster evolves, it won't be your ability to fight with real people that will be practiced?"

Nan Fang teased Guo Qi. The others also laughed foolishly. At this time, everyone was in a relaxed and happy mood.

Nan Fang turned around and frowned slightly at Liu Hewei who was still standing in front of the Absol statue with the Dayu monster. He always felt that something was wrong since Liu Hewei came in.

But in order to avoid trouble, Nan Fang still took a few steps, intending to stay away from Liu Hewei.

"Nanfang, come and see this!"

Just as he walked near Fang Nan, Fang Nan gently called out "Nan Fang".

"What's wrong?" Nan Fang leaned over and looked at the corner of the mural that Fang Nan was pointing at.

"Look at this, there is a sequel."

"After the white beast left the people, it left the glowing stone in the temple, waiting for someone with a destiny to wake it up again."

"That is to say, according to this line of thought, Absol's Evolution Stone and Key Stone are likely to have been left here."

Nan Fang touched his chin and looked around again. The room was about 30 square meters and was square. Apart from the stone statue in front of him, there was no place to hide anything, unless there was some dark room or secret passage.

Nan Fang thought for a moment, then stretched and slowly sat down on the ground.

"Forget it~ It's been so long, maybe they've been taken away by someone. Aren't these murals the most precious to us? I'm glad they're so well preserved."

Looking at the leisurely Nan Fang, Fang Nan smiled helplessly.

"The contract states that if there are treasures in the ruins, you have the right to choose them. If there really is an evolution stone, wouldn't you be tempted?"

"Hey, what's the use of just having stones? Absol is not a Pokémon that will easily follow its trainer. It's hard to even think about getting these two together."

"Look at the mural. Isn't it the trainer with the Mega Absol? That means there's still a chance."

"Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. But I am not prepared at all~~~"

"As long as you are happy~"

Fang Nan shrugged his shoulders and shook his head, stopped arguing with Nan Fang, and continued taking pictures.

"Speaking of which, brother-in-law, are you really not going to consider it again?"

Fang Nuo, the conspicuous guy, saw Nan Fang sitting there and being lazy, so he came over to chat with him.

Nan Fang narrowed his eyes and looked at Fang Nuo. He was free anyway.

"There are a lot of people chasing after your sister, like the one in front." Nan Fang pointed at Liu Hewei with a nod.

"He's no good. I don't like him. I think he's very hypocritical." Seeing Nan Fang paying attention to him, Fang Nuo also sat cross-legged next to Nan Fang. "There are indeed many people chasing after my sister, but most of them were persuaded by my sister. You know the situation in my family. My aunt and uncle pay more attention to family background, but my sister doesn't like them. My sister has a personality, hahahaha, and my aunt and uncle don't dare to force my sister."

"But Liu Hewei, that guy, tut tut tut, I don't know how he used sweet words to please my aunt and the others. He is the leader of the project team of the National Research Institute, and he looks good enough. My aunt and the others are quite satisfied with him."

"Why do you say he's hypocritical? He's a man who says one thing to your face and another behind your back. He appears gentle and polite on the surface, but he's actually a dark person at heart. He can please all kinds of leaders, but he's harsh and ruthless to his employees, and he haggles over every penny. Many people who have offended him have resigned. And, many people who have pursued my sister have become strange the day after they confessed their love to her. I suspect it's all his fault!"

"Oh? How strange is it?" Nan Fang became interested.

"Well... the better ones are like amnesia, and the more serious ones feel like they are turning into idiots!"

"Hmm? It doesn't matter here?"

"Hey, there is no evidence. Besides, regardless of Liu Hewei's character, this guy's research is really impressive. So you know~"

Nan Fang sighed and looked at Liu Hewei who was directing the Da Yu monster to float around. Nan Fang felt that Liu Hewei was becoming more and more unfamiliar.

"No! We have to search a little longer!"

A stern voice interrupted their chat. Nanfang looked over and saw Fang Nan talking to Liu Hewei.

"We have recorded everything that needs to be recorded. There is no need to stay here any longer. We can just go back to the institute and wait for the authorities to seal off this place."

Fang Nan said seriously.

"No, give me some more time. I always feel like I'm missing something."

Liu Hewei disagreed.

Fang Nan frowned, "Are you looking for Absol's evolution stone again?"

Liu Hewei was not angry when his thoughts were exposed. "Ah, yes, I am a little worried. If we find the evolution stone, it will be very helpful for our research on Pokémon's super evolution!"

"But we already have evolution stones for other Pokémon in the institute. Why do we have to look for Absol's?"

"Who would complain about having too many research subjects?" Liu Hewei seemed a little displeased.

Fang Nan didn't think much about it and said, "Then you study here by yourself, we'll go back first." After saying that, he turned around and was about to ask everyone to leave.

"Wait!"

"Obem!"

Dayuguai suddenly flashed and stood in front of everyone. Everyone was stunned and looked at Liu Hewei in confusion.

"Give me some more time. Don't leave!"

Nan Fang sensed something was wrong, and no matter how obsessed he was with the Evolution Stone, there was no need to stop everyone here.

"Hey! What are you doing? That's a bit too much!"

Nan Fang stood up and stood in front of Fang Nan.

Seeing everyone's angry expressions, Liu Hewei realized that his behavior was a bit impulsive.

"I'm sorry, but please give me some time. The Absol Evolution Stone is very important to me. I definitely need it to help me with my next paper. If we don't find it in an hour, we'll leave here."

Seeing Liu Hewei say this, everyone suppressed their dissatisfaction and helped Liu Hewei find it. Who doesn't want to go home quickly to have a good meal and take a comfortable hot bath?

Nan Fang did not let down his guard. He always felt that Liu Hewei's reaction was strange.

"Are you protecting me?" Fang Nan's gentle voice came from behind.

"Um, ahem...well, I would do the same if it were Chen Jiani." Nan Fang turned his head.

"Oh? Then I will tear her to pieces."

"..."

"joke."

Chen Jiani felt a chill on her back. What the hell?
