Pokémon: Encounter

"Huh~ I'm finally here. It's been a long time since I came here, Beijing City."

The early morning train arrived in Beijing City just in the morning. Nan Fang and Bai Ruoruo walked out of the train station and breathed in the morning air of Beijing City.

"Tsk, it hasn't changed for such a long time, why is it still foggy? It's better in our countryside, the air is so fresh."

Nan Fang complained as soon as he got off the car.

"Look, there are still so many people flocking here every year. The more developed a country is, the stronger its economy is, and the more opportunities it has."

Bai Ruoruo looked around. After all, this was the place where she had lived for more than four years, and she still missed it quite a bit.

"Yeah, yeah~ I understand. Alas, society is the same everywhere."

"Same place? You sound like you've lived there for a long time."

Nan Fang smoothed his hair, smiled faintly and said nothing more.

"I really can't sleep on the train. My shoulders are sore." Bai Ruoruo rubbed her arms.

"Well, it's time to buy a car. Then I can take Grandma Bai out for a walk~"

"The money we earn is already stretched to the limit just to take care of the children in the orphanage. Look at your work attitude lately. You work for three days and rest for two days. How dare you say that?"

"Don't underestimate me because I'm on a business trip. I came to Beijing City just to collect my salary. Let's just say the salary from the last time Fang Nan and I went together. After we divide it among the orphanage, we will have enough to buy a similar vehicle with the original salary. The main thing is that it can run. I don't have high requirements."

"Hahaha, that's fine, I'll take Grandma Bai on a trip with me then."

Nan Fang and Bai Ruoruo were walking and chatting when suddenly a car stopped in front of them.

"Hello, are you Mr. Nan and Ms. Bai?" The car door opened and a young man in a suit and tie got out.

Nan Fang was surprised. Although he had contacted Bai Lao in advance and told him that he would come to Beijing City in the next few days, he did not expect Bai Lao to be so punctual and even send someone to pick him up.

The young man noticed Nan Fang’s vigilance and quickly explained.

"Ah, it's like this, Mr. Nan. It was indeed Mr. Bai who sent me here to pick you up. I have your photos, but I'm not sure exactly when you will arrive, so I just looked at the train schedule and waited for you two here. This is my ID. If you still don't believe it, you can talk to Mr. Bai again now."

Nan Fang took the certificate and looked at it. "Li Xiaofeng, right?"

"Yes, you can just call me Xiao Li. I'm just 22 years old."

"You just came here after graduation?"

"Ahaha, actually I haven't graduated yet. I'm currently doing an internship. I'm mainly a secretary trainee."

Nan Fang believed Li Xiaofeng, and he and Bai Ruoruo got on the car bound for Bai Lao's home, because Bai Lao said that when Nan Fang and the others arrived, he would entertain them at home.

Xiao Li is a very talkative person. Since everyone is of similar age, the journey was not boring. He talked about the development of Beijing City in recent years and the further development of the relationship between Pokémon and humans. After a while, the car stopped outside the door of a simple villa in the suburbs.

"Brother Nan is here! Let's keep in touch in the future! Chatting with you really benefits me a lot!"

"Hahaha, definitely."

Bai Ruoruo looked strange as she watched Xiao Li walk away.

"When did you become so arrogant?"

"Well, what I said is all true, okay? After all, I was once an excellent researcher who traveled all over our flower-growing country." Nan Fang said unwillingly.

"Okay, okay, you are the best! But you still can't beat Liu Hewei~" Bai Ruoruo deliberately angered Nan Fang.

"..."

"6."

The two of them tidied themselves up briefly and then rang the doorbell of the Bai family.

"Ding dong!"

"Here they come! It must be Ruoruo and Nanzi who are back!" Before the door was opened, the two heard the happy laughter of an old lady inside.

"Hello, Grandma Bai!" Bai Ruoruo immediately called out in a sweet voice when she saw the person coming.

The door was gently pushed open, and a kind old lady appeared in front of the two. This was Mr. Bai's first wife, Li Na. It was said that the relationship between the two had been very harmonious since they were young, and it had always been talked about by people in the institute. When Nan Fang was still a primary school student under Mr. Bai, Li Na loved Nan Fang very much. So when facing Li Na, Nan Fang was also very respectful.

"Master's wife! Long time no see!"

"Hey~ Why call me Master's Wife? You should follow Ruoruo and call me Grandma. I'm already this old, you won't suffer any loss~" Li Na said while holding Bai Ruoruo's hand intimately.

"I'm just afraid of calling you old." Nan Fang joked.

"Humph, you only know how to make us old people happy. Don't I know my own weight? You guys are really stupid. Public is public and private is private. How can you not come to see me if you have a conflict with work?"

"That's not true, Master's wife. We are usually too busy. You see, the reason we came here this time is actually because I have official business to attend to. Otherwise, there would be no such opportunity."

"I heard the old man say that you and the girl from the Fang family confronted He Wei last time? Oh, how could this happen? I remember that He Wei was a good kid except that he was a little stubborn sometimes. It's really unexpected."

"Um...Master's wife, can we go inside and talk?" Nan Fang reminded weakly.

"Oh my!" Li Na slapped her head, "Look at my brain. Come on, come on, come inside. You must be tired from the journey. Eat some fruit first. The food will have to wait for a while. Your master went out and said he was going to a meeting. It's almost noon now, why hasn't he come back yet? You guys sit down first, I'll go check the food, and we'll continue chatting later."

"Grandma Bai, let me help you!"

"Oh, that's good. It's a good opportunity for us to have a little chat~"

Seeing Bai Ruoruo's cheerful look, Nan Fang was very pleased. Bai Ruoruo was not like him who had a previous life. For Bai Ruoruo, this warm and short-lived family relationship was very hard-won.

"Hey~" A sweet voice came from the side.

"Ai Guanshi! It's you! Long time no see!"

"Ai~"

This is a female housekeeper, an emotional Pokémon that is responsible for taking care of and accompanying the two elders.

Avalon is a dark purple and white Pokémon with horns on both sides of its head. There are significant gender differences between males and females. The horns on the male's head point upwards, and the overall color is more purple-black than white. The eyes are half-open and half-closed, and the face is expressionless. The triangular pattern next to the eyes is blue, and the purple-black part of the body is more than the female. The horns on the female's head droop, the corners of the mouth are raised to show a smile, the triangular pattern next to the eyes is purple-red, and the white part of the body is more than the male.

Love Butler uses the horns on its head to read the other person's mood, just like a butler, staying by the master's side all the time to take care of everything. It uses its mental power to predict the trainer's actions and take care of his daily life. Positive emotions are the source of its energy. It uses its horns to receive the positive emotions of other creatures and then convert them into its own energy.
