Pokémon: Encounter

One night without words, the next day.

It was another sunny morning. After closing the doors of the clinic and the studio, Nan Fang and Bai Ruoruo walked side by side to the town square. The square, which was originally crowded with people, was now full of people.

Nan Fang looked around curiously, "Hey, Ruoruo, look, isn't that Aunt Liu and her dancing partner? Oh, Uncle Chu and his chess partner are here too?"

"Brother Li and Sister Li are here too. It seems that the prizes this time are very attractive to everyone. Should we give them some leniency when the time comes? After all, we are neighbors."

"Hello, Dr. Nan! I didn't expect to see you here!"

At this time, a young man wearing a red baseball cap came over with his Charmander.

"Ah, it's you." Nan Fang squatted down and stroked Charmander's head, "It looks like you've recovered well. Your Charmander is great!"

"Sigh!"

Charmander wagged its tail happily and responded to the south.

"Thank you, Dr. Nan! Miss Joy from the Pokémon Center said that if it weren't for your timely treatment, Dr. Nan, Charmander might have suffered serious injuries! Thank you again!"

"By the way, Doctor Nan, I haven't introduced myself yet! My name is Ruide! I'm from Yaojia Town! Just call me Xiaorui!"

"Haha, I thought your name was Xiaozhi."

"Hmm? Doctor Nan, what did you say?"

"It's okay, it's okay, Charmander. I'm glad you're okay. This is what I should do. By the way, don't call me doctor all the time. Just call me Nan Fang."

"You're lucky to be able to catch this event. You can have some good experience, but what about your partner and your second Pokémon?"

"Nanfang! I've met my second Pokémon! Come out Bulbasaur!"

"It's a companion that we met last night when we were doing recovery training in the forest after Charmander finished his treatment!"

"Gane Gane!"

Wow, what kind of halo of the protagonist is this? Nan Fang is so envious.

"Not bad, not bad. Another rare starter Pokémon! You're really lucky! Looking at the development of the seeds behind it, your Bulbasaur is pretty good!"

Xiao Rui picked up Bulbasaur and said happily, "Indeed, our meeting was destined!"

"Gane Gane!"

South, tears.

"By the way, this is my team partner!"

"Nan...Brother Nanfang! Sister Ruoruo!"

"Xiao Ning?" Bai Ruoruo asked in surprise.

A girl who looked the same age as Xiao Rui walked out from behind him.

"This child is called Zhang Si Ning. He is the son of Brother Zhang who owns the breakfast shop. I always go there to buy breakfast, so he is more familiar with me."

Nan Fang nodded, "I have an impression."

"To all trainers who are here to participate in the event! Please come here to verify your names and the Pokémon you will be using. The time limit is half an hour! No one will be allowed after the time is up!"

"A word of warning! We have placed enough referee Rotoms at the event venue for broadcasting and refereeing. Please abide by the rules of the game! Finally, I would like to remind everyone again! Friendship first! Competition second! Be sure to pay attention to safety!"

"Let's go!" Bai Ruoruo led Nan Fang and the two children to the verification area.

"Okay! Verification completed. A total of eighty-three groups of trainers are participating in this event! Thank you all for your strong support!"

"I hereby declare that the first Yuhong Town Fun Escape Event has officially begun!"

"First, all trainers have one hour to walk around and spread out to various areas of the event venue. After one hour, the range will slowly begin to shrink! Trainers, get going!"

The town mayor Wang Defa, with his bulging official belly, gave a passionate speech and the event officially began.

"Then goodbye for now~ Xiao Ning, if you see us again, we won't show mercy~"

Bai Ruoruo said with a smile. The girl frowned and nodded heavily.

"Okay, Sister Ruoruo!"

“Brother Nan Fang! Just wait for me to defeat you and Sister Ruoruo!”

"Okay, I look forward to it~"

Xiao Rui and Xiao Ning ran towards the forest, which was closer to the center of the circle. It could be seen that they had made a certain battle plan. Nan Fang and Ruoruo strolled towards the town street. They planned to have breakfast first.

"Ruoruo, is Xiao Ning usually so introverted?"

"It's okay. Actually, although she's not the chatterbox, she still talks a lot. After what you said, I feel that Xiao Ning seems to be a little different from before. She seems to be a little..."

"It's a bit heavy, it's understandable that she's nervous. After all, it's her first time to fight Pokémon, so it's normal to be nervous. But Xiao Ning is still a little depressed, and I can feel that she really wants to win this game."

"Let's go and ask and you'll know."

The two of them walked leisurely to Zhang's breakfast shop, "Good morning, Brother Zhang!"

"It's Xiao Ruo, Xiao Nan is here too, and there are some freshly steamed buns stuffed with chicken sauce."

"Then give me four, and two bowls of porridge and a side dish."

"By the way, Brother Zhang, I just saw Xiao Ning. She is participating in our town's competition, right? But Xiao Ning doesn't seem to be in good shape."

Bai Ruoruo usually spends a lot of time with the townspeople. Many brothers, sisters, uncles and aunts like this beautiful, generous, helpful and decisive girl.

"It may be because of Ningning's mother's recent illness. Her condition has stabilized now, but she still needs tens of thousands of dollars for hospitalization fees. I am currently borrowing money from relatives."

"But no one's family is that rich. If there is money, it will take time to raise it. Maybe Ningning wants to do something for her mother."

"Ah? Is sister-in-law okay? Brother Zhang, I still have some here, please take them and use them to help out in an emergency!" Bai Ruoruo said anxiously.

"No, no, thank you, Xiaoruo! Ningning's mom is getting better now. I have signed a guarantee with the hospital. The hospital said I can recuperate in the hospital first, and I will pay back the money I owe later! It's really not necessary! I can also pay back my relatives slowly, but it will take a little longer."

"Ningning may not want to owe others a favor. Our town happens to be holding an event today, and the prize for the champion is very generous. Ningning said she wants to participate no matter what."

Bai Ruoruo comforted him, "It's okay, Brother Zhang. Ningning has grown up now. If you want to go, just go and exercise. Whether you go to school or travel in the future, this will be a very meaningful experience."

Brother Zhang smiled bitterly and shook his head. "I know all this, but this is what I'm most worried about. Ningning doesn't actually have a second Pokémon. She only has a walking grass that she grew up with. Ningning just turned ten a few days ago and it officially became her Pokémon."

"But in order to participate in the competition, she secretly took my Venus flytrap away. Although Venus flytrap was willing to listen to Ningning, the level difference was too big after all. I was afraid that Ningning would be in danger."

"I am now wondering whether I should tell the mayor to cancel Ningning's qualifications. After all, safety is the most important thing."

After hearing Brother Zhang's concerns, Bai Ruoruo patted her chest.

"Brother Zhang, I think you should not go. Ningning is grown up after all. If you do this, it will hurt her self-esteem. She is also participating in the competition because she is worried about her sister-in-law. I believe she is not acting on impulse."

"Please trust us, we will go find the child Ningning in a while, and we will help you take care of her!" Bai Ruoruo said generously.

"But aren't you guys participating in the competition too? This is really causing you a lot of trouble!"

"No problem! Our main purpose is to participate and practice Pokémon at the same time, otherwise we will both become rusty!"

"That's really great! I'll trouble you and Xiaonan then! I can go take over and take care of Ningning's mom without any worries!"

"No problem! Don't worry, Ningning will be taken care of by us!"
