Pokémon: An Encounter with You

Chapter 144: 1 Greninja

And more!

Another time, Shi Qiu asked her to stretch out the whip on the pretext of helping her maintain her appearance.

It was quite normal at the beginning. Although she felt uncomfortable with the ointment that Shi Qiu applied, considering that this thing didn't seem cheap, she just closed her eyes and endured it.

Then! When she opened her eyes again, she found that her two whips were tied into several knots and even gathered on her head with a bow at the end.

She was supposed to go for training! But she ended up spending an entire precious afternoon just trying to untie the knots.

There were endless behaviors like drawing a few turtles while she was sleeping, secretly swapping energy blocks and then throwing dirty water on other elves.

Fortunately, Shi Qiu was very experienced. He put his fair and handsome face in front of her and smiled brightly and obediently, and immediately all her anger disappeared.

Thinking of this, Teng Teng Snake sighed tiredly.

but......

Although she really liked the boy at the beginning.

I like that kind of gentleness that appears like the wind, the calm and reliable temperament, and the patient and kind words.

However, none of them are as real as the childish pranks and constant acting like a spoiled brat of today's teenagers.

On the surface, he was reliable and gentle, but that was just an external performance. What was revealed now was the boy's soft and genuine self when facing his family without any defense.

Just as Shi Qiu said a long time ago, this is a kind of preference, a preference for one's own elves, revealing one's true side to them without any scruples.

[Well, anyway, she doesn’t really hate Shi Qiu now. ]

Teng Teng Snake snorted softly, stamped his feet uncomfortably, and thought with a slightly red face.

[Well, I don’t like it very much, but I like it a little more than at the beginning...]

"(Terrain?)" Aledo stood nearby and took a closer look with the help of the trainer's hand.

He remained calm and just said two simple words to divert Shi Qiu's attention from the vine snake back to the map.

"Yeah." Shi Qiu responded, "There's ocean on both sides of here."

Shi Qiu zoomed in on where they were.

"It's not an island, because the exploration so far shows that there is endless land in front and behind. On the contrary, it is limited in width and faces the sea on both sides."

“(It’s like a giant road built from the ocean.)” Aledo commented.

"I have a guess, but I don't have any evidence yet, so I'll leave it alone for now."

Shi Qiu put away Rotom and suddenly changed the subject, "Do you feel like something is following us recently?"

"I originally thought it was the Catholic team, but up until now, the people or elves following us have not shown any malicious intent."

The malice that Shi Qiu mentioned here has a wide range and is not limited to simple negative emotions such as murderous intent and disgust.

Like Tel Lauren's previous sticky morbid fanaticism, he also attributed it all to [malice].

"(It's a wild Pokémon.)" Aledo replied in a low voice.

"Let's observe for a few more days. I've asked Zoroark to track him down." Shi Qiu seemed to be thinking about something. "I have a feeling that he may have other intentions."

......

However, before a day had passed, that night, the elf who had been following them in the dark appeared along with Zoroark.

It is a Greninja with peak combat power.

"(The elf is here, where is my reward?)"

What a huge red and black fox it was, it pounced on Shi Qiu and rubbed against him.

However, the crimson mane that Shi Qiu once loved no longer attracted the boy's attention.

Shi Qiu let Zoroark do things with a wicked smile, but his mind was not on it and he simply waved away the long hair that was causing him itch.

"(Your energy feedback has a bad effect on Shi Qiu.)" Aledo said calmly on the side.

Considering the opponent's peak combat power, he even activated the Full Concentration Breathing Method and violently pulled the boy out of the fox's arms.

Zoroark didn't take this "elf cub" seriously, and he let it be snatched away by him without paying attention.

"(Tsk, I underestimated you.)" Zoroark said with a half-smile.

Aledo calmly replied: "(I dare not, I will learn from you.)"

…………

The two elves were fighting with swords and sabers. Shi Qiu tried to stop them casually, but he couldn't stop looking at the Greninja.

He couldn't help but speak first: "Is there anything you need my help with?"

Greninja shook his head, then nodded.

"It's okay, you can just tell me, I have the ability to communicate with elves without any obstacles."

Hearing this, Greninja's reaction finally became a little bigger.

"(I...want to go somewhere with you.)"

------

------

It was already very late and most people had gone to bed.

Of course Shi Qiu would not just follow Greninja silently, but greeted Rong Dao in the dark in advance.

I also introduced Greninja to the night watchman.

"Do you need us to organize some people to go with you?" someone asked.

"It's okay, that's all. Don't worry, Brother Rong Dao is still guarding me in the tree behind me."

Rong said: "......"

Not to mention how he caught me, this brat really couldn't rest in peace for a while.

Watching the man and the elf set off quickly, Rong Dao sighed and followed them.

......

"Have you been looking for an opportunity for me to go with you these days?" Shi Qiu asked curiously on the way.

Greninja shook his head: "(Danger, protect you.)"

Worrying about danger is just simply protecting your safety.

Shi Qiu completed the question automatically.

He looks nothing like Tokiaki's Greninja.

In comparison, this one is more silent and not good at communicating with creatures.

"Then why do you suddenly take me to this place?"

"(A premonition told me.)"

The elves were all good at traveling, and after a while, they arrived at a depression.

This is a deep pit.

There seemed to be something standing in the middle of the deep pit, but it was too far away to see clearly.

Greninja took two steps back and motioned Shi Qiu to go over, and he followed closely behind.

Shi Qiu's heart suddenly skipped a beat and he moved forward involuntarily.

As the distance got closer, he could finally see it clearly this time.

They were two dilapidated stone statues.

One was raising a huge water shuriken in his hand to protect himself, while the other was using his dragon horn to create a huge wave from under his fin.
