Pokémon: Encounter

Chapter 501: Going home, a good life that is not easy

"Fortunately, we finally caught up!"

"I knew it wasn't over yet!"

"How's the situation now?"

At this time, Daigo and Mikoli hurried back to the battle pyramid with smiles on their faces. When they saw Long Xing sitting beside them, they nodded slightly to him respectfully. Long Xing gave a slight "hmm" as a response.

"Now it's the final showdown."

"They both have their last Pokémon left, the timing is perfect!"

"What about you guys? You look so happy, so things should be going well, right~?"

Yashida turned around and looked at the two of them. Daigo just playfully gave them an OK sign. Long Xing beside him also breathed a sigh of relief. He Xuanmu remained silent as usual, only Nightingale's eyes swung back and forth between the two of them, looking stupid and clueless.

She was previously ordered by her teacher to accompany Bai Ruoruo and the others on a sightseeing trip, so she really didn't know the inside story. Although Long Xing deliberately avoided Nightingale, as the senior sister who followed Long Xing every day, she could still guess a little.

She's not stupid, she's just a little slow in reaction.

His teacher was very busy, but he still came to watch the final battle in the south. No matter how slow he was, he should know that the battle in the south was very important.

Perhaps it was because of Long Xing's own selfishness. Ever since he became familiar with Nan Fang, Long Xing began to intentionally or unintentionally reduce his tasks and no longer let himself get involved in those secret things.

Although the teacher didn't say it, Nightingale understood that the teacher was protecting her and wanted her to slowly live another life. Including He Xuanmu, even though this cheap junior brother of hers was once a master of living in darkness, the teacher also tried not to let him have too many intersections with his past.

All of these were subtle changes that occurred after Nan Fang invited them to form a team and participate in the World Academy Competition.

Nightingale's gaze returned to the figure of the man on the battlefield.

"We must win, Captain!"

-

"Regice! Railgun!"

"Big Bird! Use Swallow Return to avoid the counterattack!"

Although Dabibird dodged the opponent's attack flexibly, its speed was more or less affected due to the paralysis effect of electromagnetic waves. The electromagnetic cannon passed by Dabibird, and some of its feathers were burned in an instant.

Although the counterattack was successful, the momentary hesitation greatly reduced the power of Yan Fan.

"trouble!"

Nan Fang frowned and spat lightly.

With Pidgeot's own speed, Nan Fang was very confident that they could dodge all of Reggie's skills. Even if they were locked, they could respond instantly and offset the opponent's attack.

But with the interference of paralysis, the tolerance rate between himself and Big Bird will inevitably be greatly reduced.

"Regice! Use Snow Scene!" Kamijiro gave the order.

"You must be joking! You want to recover your health secretly again!?"

"Pibito! Use Storm on the sky!"

Storm's hit rate is not high, especially on sunny days. But after Mega Evolution, Pidgeot's characteristics have changed from sharp eyes to no defense.

No Defense: Moves used by this Pokémon and moves targeting this Pokémon will definitely hit, including Pokémon that are flying or digging holes.

Theoretically, as long as Reggie Ace didn't forcibly cancel out his own moves, then Storm would definitely hit the opponent. The same was true for the opponent. But the situation on the battlefield changed rapidly, and who knew what other cards both sides had.

This Storm Nanfang was not trying to attack the opponent, he just wanted to blow away the clouds in the sky!

The result was obvious. The dark clouds and snowflakes in the sky had just formed when they were instantly broken by the powerful storm attack of the Big Bird.

"It's just as it seems." Kamishiro had expected this.

Regiace's current condition was not perfect. Moreover, the opponent's Pidgeot was still in the air and was flexible. The ice on his own field was also destroyed by the previous battle with Absol.

It is indeed difficult for me to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy from my fixed turret.

"Then let you take the initiative to attack."

"Regice! Use Sleep!"

Reggieice's body tilted slightly, and circles of light blue ripples appeared and covered his entire body, and then he fell asleep in an instant.

Hiss... Seeing the opponent's weakness, Nan Fang immediately tensed up.

I seem to have seen this plot before.

"Go ahead! Use Steel Wings!"

If you hesitate you will fail, don't be a coward!

"daydream!"

"I Chao!!!" Nan Fang was horrified.

Sleep Talk: When the user is asleep, he will randomly use another move he has learned.

Although this skill is highly random and has many limitations, its advantage lies in its suddenness, and the opponent has no idea what move it will use next.

Nan Fang is a little scared, but he can't miss this opportunity!

Otherwise, letting the opponent recover more physical strength in vain is not good news.

"puff--!"

A beam of ice-blue light suddenly shot out in front of Reggie Ace!

It's a freezing beam! Fortunately, fortunately...

The big bird's wings flashed with metallic luster and easily avoided it.

"boom--!"

The steel wing hits the target with outstanding effect!

Reggie Ace staggered and was almost thrown away by Pidgeot.

Reggieice has recovered some of his strength, but has not yet woken up.

"Again! Steel Wing!"

"daydream!"

This time it turned out to be a blizzard.

Although it hit the target, the powerful AOE skill instantly reduced the power of Pidgeot's Steel Wings by half.

"Mr. Kamishiro... is he recovering and preparing for a fatal counterattack?" Daigo analyzed softly, resting his chin on his hand.

"Hmph! I guess he just doesn't want to save his old face!" Long Xing blew his beard and glared at the side, his expression obviously unhappy.

Yashida briefly described several previous scenes, and Daigo smiled bitterly and shook his head after listening.

"The speed of the three pillars is their own weakness. They are indeed somewhat inferior to the South who are good at fast breaks."

"If it were me, I would probably make the same choice."

"This is the only solution..."

"However, Mr. Kamishiro might not have intended that. After all, he wanted to use sleep to restore Regiace's strength. Otherwise, why didn't he just use it directly?"

Daigo forced himself to analyze it.

"He's recovering and exposing his flaws to his opponent, afraid that I'll blame him later! Humph!" Long Xing criticized mercilessly.

Daigo: (-o-) Uh…

Shen Dai did have some thoughts about using the big explosion randomly, but that was too boring. He mainly wanted to restore the strength of the Ice God Pillar to let Nan Fang take the initiative to attack and then counterattack the moment it wakes up.

In fact, he himself was very glad that Regice did not use the Big Bang in these two attacks.

Really.

"Regiai——!"

Reggie Ace is awake!

The South has no concerns. It is not a solution to drag this on.

It must be resolved quickly!

"Yan Hui!"

The South forcibly changed the attack route of the Big Bird.

"Fair wind!"

The bird flapped its wings, a strong wind swept in, and the bird's speed increased.

Not ready to attack?

"Use sleep!"

"Move at high speed!"

"daydream!"

This time it's a cannon.

"A flash of lightning!"

"boom--!"

Pidgeot dodged and forced a collision.

Reggie Ace was hurt.

"Yan Hui!"

The bird retreated after one strike and recharged its energy. It was even faster.

"daydream!"

This time it's an electromagnetic gun.

"A flash of lightning!"

"daydream!"

Suddenly, Reggieice's whole body emanated a white light, and a strong sense of oppression and crisis arose.

"This is the final blow!"

"Brave Bird Attack!!!"

"this..."

Kamishiro hesitated for a moment, but it was too late to say anything.

Big Bird's combination attack.

Downwind, high-speed movement, a flash of lightning, the swallows return, a flash of lightning, and the final brave bird attack.

This scene seemed to take them back to that summer, that small town, that forest, and that young group who were just using the lightning flash to mindlessly accumulate power just to violently wake each other up.

"boom--!!!"

-

That night, a large group of people and their Pokémon sat in front of a warm crackling bonfire on the grass between the Battle Pyramid and the New Green Ridge City Universe Center.

The smoke and aroma of the barbecue drifted in the wind.

With joy and laughter, everyone raised their glasses to celebrate.

"Nanfang, what are your plans for the future?" Daigo asked with a smile as he looked at the young man sitting next to him.

"Well, I originally wanted to accompany Ruoruo and the others to continue their unfinished journey to the gorgeous competition."

"But Sister Ruo said she was tired, and her strength is not yet at the level where she can participate in a grand and magnificent celebration."

“So we decided to go home and calm down, and come back to participate when we have the chance!”

Daigo seemed to be hesitant to speak after hearing this.

He couldn't help but look at the other side, where the three big guys were drinking with each other (including Yashida)

"Well, it's your decision."

"I respect your choice."

“I wish you good health and safety!”

As if he had made up his mind, Daigo took the wine glass in his hand and drank it all. Then he filled the glass again and walked towards the three people. The big boss group now became four people.

"You really don't know anything?"

Mikoli walked towards the south with a glass of wine in his hand. He was not like Daigo, he was the type who spoke his mind.

"what?"

"Isn't it that South Island has returned to the embrace of flower planting?"

"What else?" Nan Fang was a little confused.

"But you know what! The sea right now...!"

"Mikoli!"

A call interrupted his next words.

The big guys, four people, eight eyes stared at Mikoli who had a look of astonishment on his face.

"I...ah..."

Mikoli shook his head and walked towards Daigo reluctantly.

There are now five people in the big group.

Nan Fang chuckled.

With Long Xing's current status, how could he travel thousands of miles from Planting Flowers to South Island just to watch a fight of his own? Don't be silly, you still know your own weight.

However, he has always been moving forward passively with the attitude that it is better to save trouble than to worry about it.

Long Xing and the others have always known about this.

They demand too much from the South.

-

The next day, I said goodbye to all the big guys and the two little ones reluctantly.

Nan Fang and Bai Ruoruo boarded the flight home.

Playing with the badge symbolizing bravery in his hand, Nan Fang said nothing and silently looked at the scenery outside the window.

"Are you really not going to ask?"

Bai Ruoruo felt uneasy. Although she didn't want to force Nanfang, nor did she want Nanfang to be in danger again, she still couldn't help but ask.

Nan Fang stopped what he was doing and turned his head.

"Don't think about anything, just go home first~"

"Oh right! How about we go directly to Beijing? Let's go and see Mr. Bai and his family! I haven't had Mr. Li's specialty for a long time. I'm drooling just thinking about it!"

Nan Fang's shining eyes interrupted Bai Ruoruo's worries.

"There's a tall guy supporting it!"

"We have so many strong flower growers, we don't need one more!"

"Don't worry, don't worry~~~!"

Bai Ruoruo sighed.

That’s right, all I care about is the safety of the people around me.

As long as everything is fine.

"Okay! Let's go check it out!"

Bai Ruoruo felt relieved and smiled like a flower.

"OK!"

Nan Fang smiled and turned away again, the smile on his face faded.

But...are good days really that easy?
