Pokémon: Encounter

Chapter 420: Seeing Ice Bird Again, Unexpected but Expected

"All right then!"

"Little Southern bro, in my battle factory, there is only one rule for a challenge."

"That's a two-on-two challenge!"

"I have many, many kinds of Pokémon here."

"Some of them have been tamed by me, some are willing to live with me, and some are temporarily staying with me for certain reasons."

"You can choose two of them as your opponents."

"In fact, my original rule was that one-on-one would be enough."

"But if the opponent is you, then it would be a shame to only fight once, hehe~"

"I have heard about your deeds from Yashida more or less!"

As Dara spoke, he walked onto the platform in the living room, pointed at the many Pokémon on the battlefield below the stage and spoke loudly.

Nanfang staggered somewhat toward the edge and looked down.

Wow, at this moment the battlefield is full of flowers of various colors and sizes.

There are grass-type Venusaur and Parasol mushroom.

The ground-based unicorn, the drill-horn rhinoceros, the sandalwood and an unevolved giant-jawed ant.

The normal-type Strongman; the metal-type Kodara; the fire-type Charmeleon; the water-type Golduck, plus the insect-type Iron Ninja and Kairos who he had met before.

The South is a little dazzled.

"Then..."

“Wait! Wait a minute…!”

"I might...have to go to the bathroom first!"

"Sorry, Darla brother!"

After saying that, Nan Fang ran towards the wonderful place which was almost his birthplace.

"Eh? Is the aftereffect so strong? Why don't I have any problems? Am I just used to it?"

"It seems that this young man still needs some exercise~"

Darla nodded in self-approval.

On the battlefield, those cute and handsome Pokémon also nodded in agreement, but their expressions were more or less fearful.

After tossing and turning until almost midnight, Nanfang finally walked out of the birthplace safely, feeling relaxed.

He bent over with a pale face, then he let out a long sigh.

It's really like dying before achieving success, and the long "shit" makes the hero cry... (This is a moderate joke, children must remember the original sentence!)

Nan Fang had lost the interest in the challenge for the time being, so he could only ask for leave from Dara and prepare to stay in the combat factory temporarily.

Dara said it was no problem at all and kindly informed her that she could prepare breakfast for Nan the next day.

Nan Fang bowed his hands to express his respectful decline.

Afterwards, Dara said that he was going to test-fly the plane he had built, and that if he did it at night he would not have unnecessary conflicts with most of the Pokémon around him.

"Do you want to go with us? Maybe you'll see something that you'll never forget?" Dara said with a wicked smile.

Nan Fang thought about it for a while, and since it was a long night and he had nothing to do, it would be a good choice to watch Dara's excellent works. He nodded and followed Dara out the door.

"Boom boom——!"

The roar of the engine echoed in the forest.

According to Dara, although it looks like an old-fashioned yellow glider, the devices used inside it are all products manufactured using modern technology.

Retro and modification are also one of Dara's many interests.

"take off!!!"

Wearing goggles and passing through the extra-long runway, the yellow glider instantly soared into the dark blue sky.

A cold moon, with its surrounding twinkling stars, also cast a beautiful veil over the glider.

Dara, who was sitting on it, was as happy as a child, cheering and jumping for joy, and Nan Fang looked envious.

This is life~

"cracking--!"

Suddenly, a clear bird song sounded in the sky and reached the ears of the south.

An ice-blue figure slowly appeared and slowly approached Dara's glider.

Blue and white ice crystals drifted in the wind, gently crossing the face of the south, bringing it a hint of summer coolness.

Nan Fang couldn't believe his eyes.

From Mr. Dara's reaction, it was obvious that he and the owner of this figure were old acquaintances.

The wide wings are fully extended, which are comparable to Dara's glider wings. The soft dark blue tail feathers move in the wind, which is so beautiful and elegant.

It's actually Articuno!? It's actually Articuno?

Unexpectedly, Mr. Dara here also has a story with the legendary Articuno.

......

"Uh, you don't look that surprised. I thought you would be shocked. Hahaha!"

Dara stood beside Articuno and spoke to the south.

"I've met an Articuno before when I was planting flowers, so I might not be that surprised. But brother Dara, you really are a person who hides his true colors. You can even get along with the legendary Articuno."

Nan Fang took the initiative to change the subject.

"Well, I definitely won't subdue him. I guess this guy can be considered my friend for now."

"I once encountered it during a test flight. It was seriously injured, and I happened to rescue it and help it recover."

"Later, this guy would come and stay with me for a few days when he was free."

"Gradually we became good friends, hahahaha!"

Nan Fang gave an expression of "as expected" and gave a thumbs up.

"Anyone who is recognized by the divine beast can't be bad!"

“Hahaha, thank you!”

"cracking--!"

Articuno on the side also cried out happily.

Nan Fang was a little confused at this time. Was he going to go through the same journey as the fool again? Well, it was not impossible. This Articuno was obviously not a unique beast. I thought this battle would be very exciting.

The South has unknowingly begun to actively pursue high-quality battles.

Seeing Nan Fang's hesitation, Dara took the initiative to ask.

"What's wrong, Nan Fang? Do you have any other ideas..." Dara suddenly had a bad feeling.

Nan Fang came to his senses.

"I've made up my mind, Darla."

"If the opponent I want to challenge is this Articuno, what would you think?"

"what!?"

Darla was stunned for a moment.

"this..."

Dara turned his head and glanced at Articuno beside him, and then did not hesitate too much.

"If Articuno doesn't object, I think I can agree to it."

"Articuno, what do you say?"

"Will you join me in a formal battle with this challenger?"

Dara also felt a little excited.

Articuno gave a long look to the south, then let out a soft cry of agreement.

"cracking--!"

In Articuno's eyes, it felt several familiar auras on Nanfang's body.

If I could have a full-on battle with this human, my strength would definitely improve significantly.

It can be felt.

"it is good!"

"Now that we have made the decision, let's not hesitate any longer!"

"Let's all have a good rest tonight!"

"Tomorrow morning!"

"Let's start the battle!"

"By the way, what about the other one?" Dara asked.

"Well... then let's choose the Kairos in your hand, brother!" Nan Fang replied.

"You really have something!"

"That Kairos is not as simple as you think!"

"That's the strongest partner I have right now!" Dara said excitedly with his eyes shining.

"Hehe, this is more interesting~"

The two men's eyes met in the air.

The first stop of the battle frontier area is the battle factory.

It’s about to start.
