Pokémon: An Encounter with You

Chapter 178 N and Nancy

On the white and smooth paper, there was an obvious trace of brushstrokes left after the water stain dried.

It looked like the mark left by a colorless paintbrush dipped in water and then used to outline on the paper.

The curved lines made him feel the charm of it, just like footprints carved on the beach.

Is this... drawing me?

After Shi Qiu looked at him for a while, N motioned him to leave together, as if he had something to say.

"Dissociative Affective Disorder?" Shi Qiu repeated, somewhat surprised.

There is no other meaning, but this term sounds very professional, and it is quite incredible to hear it come out of N's mouth.

Unbeknownst to him, could N be a professional elf doctor?

The young man saw through Shi Qiu's thoughts and said helplessly: "Well, the reason why I know this word is because I have encountered...well, similar elves before."

Dissociative Affective Disorder. This condition does not affect Tutu's daily life, nor does it prevent him from communicating with other elves or humans.

"It is important to note that dissociative affective disorder does not mean that Tutu will not have emotions. If the brain and body are intact, he will still have normal emotions, but he will not be able to recognize it."

Dissociation is a cognitive disorder. For example, when an individual with this disorder is unhappy, he will still frown subconsciously because of discomfort, but in his mind he does not have the concept of discomfort...

Hmm...it sounds more stream-of-consciousness and more difficult to explain.

In short, it is the inability to recognize one's own emotions.

"No, not necessarily." N frowned slightly.

"I always feel that there is something different between this Tutu dog and... the elf back then."

It was that vague difference that made N feel like he seemed to have overlooked something.

Shi Qiu sat quietly beside him, worrying and thinking hard with him.

I feel like N's explanation made him even more confused.

Not long after, when the sunset had disappeared over the sea, leaving only the clouds illuminated by the afterglow, the second important guest arrived.

The person who came was none other than Shi Qiu's precious sister, Nazi.

"Sister Nazhi, this way!" Shi Qiu saw an expressionless girl with super powers from a distance and immediately waved his arms excitedly.

N's thoughts were disrupted by the boy's sudden shout, and he suppressed his confusion deep in his heart.

The young man looked at the extremely excited boy and raised his eyebrows meaningfully.

"I thought you wouldn't invite me to your birthday party."

Nazzi said coldly as she walked towards her adopted brother.

Shi Qiu seemed to have been touched upon. He showed a guilty expression visibly, and shrank back obediently, not saying anything.

During the birthday party, Shi Qiu hesitated for a long time at the entrance of City B, and really kept backing off from the idea of ​​inviting Nazi.

There's no way. Last time, Nancy said that next time they meet, his superpowers must reach the level where he can support himself to levitate for 10 minutes to pass.

Otherwise, I guess I'll have to do the same devilish training as last time until I reach the standard in Naz's mind.

"Floating?" Nancy's voice was a little cold, "I remember what I said at the beginning, it was flying."

He dared to play word games in front of her. Could flying and levitation be the same? Could they be confused?

One requires just your feet off the ground, while the other requires you to be high in the air and control your body to do various movements.

Shi Qiu is as quiet as a chicken.

Nancy snorted coldly and couldn't help but tap the boy's head gently.

"Forget it, I'll let you off this time."

Hearing this, Shi Qiu looked up suddenly.

Nazi met the boy's well-behaved, beautiful and sparkling eyes, and even her voice became three points gentler helplessly.

"It's your birthday after all, so my last request... let's change it to our second meeting."

Next time we meet, let’s test Shi Qiu’s superpower level.

Shi Qiu said "Great", picked up Zoroark and strangled his neck with his elbow.

The big fox patted his arm: "(Breathe! Breathe... breathe... help... help!)"

N smiled and turned his gaze from Tokiu and Zoroark to look at Nancy.

"Hello, Miss Nazi. Long time no see." The young man took the initiative to greet her.

Nazi nodded coldly: "Long time no see, hello."

"Has the problem with the artificial cell egg been solved last time?"

"Ms. Naz's advice is very effective."

......

The two seemed to have just seen each other. After greeting each other indifferently, they chatted casually.

"Tsk, the atmosphere between these two is really weird."

Shi Qiu leaned on Zoroark's shoulder and muttered softly.

N and Naz were like two people who were suddenly thrown together. Apart from the occasional awkward conversation, there was endless awkwardness in the air that was about to freeze.

Oh, I feel so sorry for them.

Shi Qiu shook off the goose bumps on his body.

Zoroark rolled his eyes and pulled the crawling little fox upwards.

......

Except for a big cake that was bought in advance for the birthday, the elves provided everything else by themselves.

Ninetales and Elrod have already evolved, and Riolu doesn't know how to act cute, so Shi Qiu brings the three new little ones along as the host of the banquet and eats and drinks everywhere.

Forced to bring a cute vine snake: ...

She closed her eyes and pretended to be dead. Only Teng Man listened to Shi Qiu's instructions and took over one thing after another.

"Double ice sister, I want another smoothie!"

N's Double Duoduo Ice was busy with something with the kitchen utensils, when a little head suddenly popped out from behind the table, with a small and cute elf standing on its head and shoulders.

Seeing this, Shuang Bei Duo Duo Bing smiled gently and said in a clear voice and gentle manner:

"(Can't.)"

Shi Qiu:! QAQ

"Why?"

“(You have already eaten 5 servings. Eating more is not good for your health. You are still young, so you should pay more attention to your health.)”

Shi Qiu was not convinced and pointed his finger directly at the Nine-Tailed Fox beside him.

"Then why can he eat it!"

"The Nine-Tailed Fox only looks old, it's actually only a few years old!"

“He’s already eating his tenth helping!”
