Pokémon: Encounter

"Hey hey~hey~"

"What are you doing?"

The butler beckoned Nanfang to follow him. Nanfang followed the butler to the backyard and saw that the pavilion in the backyard had specially prepared food for Pokémon.

The butler called on Nanfang to release his Pokémon and let them move around.

"That's true. It's been a long time since we last met, Dabito and Jianzimian. By the way, let me introduce you to a new friend."

Nan Fang released his Pokémon as he spoke, and along with three blue lights, Jian Zi Mian, Pidgeot, and Absol appeared in the pavilion.

"Hey hey hey~"

"Ah~~~" "Bi~~~" Ai Guanshi and Shuttlecock Cotton Big Bird greeted each other happily. When he saw the unfamiliar Absol, Ai Guanshi hid behind Nanfang in fear, not knowing whether it was because of his natural restraint or because Absol looked fierce. This made Absol's little heart hurt inexplicably.

"Hahaha, don't be afraid, Attendant. This is Absol, my new partner. Even though it looks a bit fierce, it is actually a very gentle Pokémon just like you!"

Absol, "...Please be polite."

"Ab!"

"Ai!"

The butler moved the antennae on his head, as if he could sense the mood of Nan Fang and Absol. Then he came out and slowly communicated with Absol. Soon, the two gentle children became good friends. By the way, Nan Fang's Absol is actually a female.

"Hey, is this the Absol you recently captured? He looks quite healthy!"

Li Na poked her head out of the kitchen and said.

"Yeah, this kid has always lived by himself, so it must have been pretty hard for him."

"I want one too!" Bai Ruoruo also released her Nidoqueen and Tutuhound.

Nanfang sat in the pavilion and watched several Pokémon happily playing with each other. Seeing their carefree appearance, Nanfang also felt very happy. This kind of comfortable life with Pokémon is also one of the charms of meeting Pokémon. Nanfang couldn't help but sigh.

After a while, there seemed to be the sound of a car in the front yard. Nan Fang felt that it must be Mr. Bai who had returned.

Li Na and Bai Ruoruo also came out of the kitchen.

I saw that the person coming was indeed old man Bai Songshi.

"Old man, why did you come back just now? Ruoruo and Nanzi have been here for a long time!"

Although Li Na complained to Mr. Bai on the surface, she still took the initiative to support Mr. Bai with both hands, helped him take off his coat and hung it on the clothes hanger on the wall.

"Oh, this is just my job. Who knew that Xiaoguan Lao Long and Lao Xia are so talkative."

Although Mr. Bai complained, his body still obediently let Li Na do whatever she wanted.

Looking at the interaction between the two elders, Nan Fang and Bai Ruoruo smiled knowingly at each other.

"Grandpa Bai!" "Teacher!"

Bai Ruoruo and Nan Fang greeted Bai Turquoise.

"Hey! I'm glad you're here! Didn't you encounter any trouble along the way? Come in and chat in detail. Old lady, is the meal ready?"

"Do I need you to tell me that?" Li Na rolled her eyes.

Mr. Bai didn't dare to say more. "Ahem, that's good. Let's go, let's wash our hands and eat. We can talk while we eat. To be honest, I'm hungry."

Nan Fang saw that there was no one else behind him, so he asked, "Brother, aren't you coming back?"

"You mean Xingjian? He was supposed to come back with me, but he suddenly received a call halfway through the journey, saying that there was a sudden progress in the research. He got off the car first, and he also asked me to say hello, saying that he would try to come over in the evening."

"Oh, research is important, it doesn't matter."

As they were talking, the four of them began to take their seats.

The four of them started chatting, talking about Nan Fang and Bai Ruoruo's recent situation, and the last time Nan Fang and Absol met. Old Bai also complained that the talent in the research institute was not as good as it used to be.

Nan Fang was calm and listened quietly to Bai Lao's complaints.

Looking at Nan Fang's attitude, Bai Lao sighed inwardly.

"Nan Fang, tell me the truth, do you still hate the institute and Guan Qing and the others?"

Nan Fang knew the topic was coming, and after thinking about it carefully, he answered, "Well... Actually, I don't hate him. Because I understand the institute and Chairman Guan. People are in their positions, and there are some things they can't do as they please."

"It's just that I just can't stand the behavior of some officials. I don't want to be manipulated by them and do things I don't like. What's more, you should also understand the danger of that matter. None of us can afford it."

Nanfang looked at Bai Lao very seriously.

"Oh, what a sin." Old Bai sighed.

Bai Lao thought for a while and said, "Even if this is the case, I still have to tell you about this."

"That's right, I have something to tell you too."

Seeing the two people suddenly become serious, Li Na and Bai Ruoruo stood up suddenly, "There is still a dish in the pot. Ruoruo and I will go take a look."

Bai Lao and Nan Fang didn't say anything, they just got up and left.

"Well, I believe you also know about the island Pokémon riot and the armor Pokémon."

Nan Fang nodded. "Actually, what I want to say is also related to this, but you can say yours first."

"Okay, I'll make it short. Actually, the authorities held an island pacification activity and asked the younger generation to participate in the training. The island operation was rated as a Class A dangerous incident by them, and it may be close to Class S."

Nanfang frowned when he heard this, but did not interrupt Bai Songshi.

"The rewards this time are very generous. A maximum of 20 people will participate, and the final winner will be determined by a similar scoring method. Not only can the participants take away 80% of the resources obtained, but the final winner will also be eligible to enter the dragon's lair directly."

Even in a peaceful place like the south, I couldn't help but smack my lips. It is indeed very tempting.

"I strongly recommended you to participate because you were the most qualified. But Guan Qing also told me something else."

"That is the upcoming World Academy Competition."

"Our country has lost three times in a row. I really don't know how many more eight years we can wait."

"He hopes that you can put aside the past and lead the team to compete."

Nan Fang was about to speak when Bai Lao interrupted him.

"Don't be so quick to refuse. Listen to the reward first."

"First of all, once the five of you win the championship, you will definitely qualify for the Dragon Cave. But this time is different from the past. If you can win the championship, the country will give you extra rewards."

"First, the national treasury chooses a king-level Pokémon egg."

"Second, cultivate all the materials until the Pokémon reaches the King level."

"30 million bonus."

"Of course, if we don't win, we will still get 100,000 yuan as an encouragement."

Looking at the three fingers extended by Bai Lao, Nan Fang stood there in a daze.

My God, what a huge investment this is, and those stubborn old guys actually agreed to it?

Withdrawing his fingers, Bai Lao continued to eat quietly, waiting for Nan Fang's decision.

Nanfang crossed his arms over his chest.

"Well...I refuse!"
