Pokémon: An Encounter with You

Chapter 293 Shoulder Doll

"It's said that it's an exchange, it can't be just the champions. Therefore, each region asked the champions to bring some of the younger generation of trainers from their respective regions..."

Having said that, Rong Dao looked at Shi Qiu with a "you know what I mean" look.

Shi Qiu had a blank expression: No, I don’t understand.

"Maybe they want to let the top three... or the champion of this session to compete." Shi Qiu politely declined.

Rong Dao's face fell.

These words obviously touched his soft spot.

But the evil king always said stubbornly: "I know, I don't want you to play, I just see you stay in the school library every day, I want you to come out and see the world, instead of staying in the library."

"...You really don't want me to play?"

For some unknown reason, Shi Qiu suddenly said this.

"..."

No, Rong Dao wanted to die.

"Hmph, our Huaxia region is vast and populous, with talented people everywhere. It's not like there is no one here." Rong Dao snorted coldly.

…………

Perhaps because he had been bored for nearly two months, Shi Qiu did not leave. He followed the Evil King and the Ice King, and watched the battle silently from a high vantage point in the box.

After a while, the box gradually became lively.

The two kings from the French region arrived first, one was the fairy king Elena, who was also a superstar in the film and television industry, and the other was the water king Kami.

Elena is a passionate girl with a mature and charming temperament. When she saw Rong Dao and Pei Zi, she happily gave them a kiss on the cheek.

Shi Qiu even noticed that Rong Dao's face was a little stiff and had a hint of blush, which was rare.

Kemi is a young man who looks relatively introverted, with deep facial features and a unique temperament.

"Hello?"

Next to me, a curious voice greeted me tentatively.

Shi Qiu looked in the direction of the voice and saw a girl with clean eyes and brows...a boy?

She has shoulder-length, slightly curly hair, a poetic and romantic temperament that is unique to France, and her pupils are clean light blue.

"Hello, I'm Shi Qiu." Shi Qiu nodded and introduced himself politely.

"Mises, my name." Mises' eyes were slightly curved and he spoke in not very fluent Chinese.

He looked at Shi Qiu twice, hesitated for a while, and finally pointed at his shoulder.

"Is this a standing shoulder doll? The workmanship is very delicate."

Shi Qiu looked at a white doll sitting quietly on his shoulder, turned his head and nodded to Mises with a smile.

"Well, it's a little toy my family made for me."

He raised his hand, straightened the doll on his shoulder, and tapped his white top hat twice as a warning.

…………

…………

Since the first day of school, students and teachers from Ikuda and Kyoto University noticed that Shi Qiu had something new in his dress.

No matter how Shi Qiu is dressed, there is always a small doll standing on the right shoulder of his clothes.

It was a very delicate doll, all white, with a small white top hat, a handsome cloak, and a small monocle.

The boy looks surprisingly eye-catching when paired with it.

After more than a month, this little doll has basically become another iconic object of Shi Qiu.

......

This doll is naturally the Phantom Thief that was accidentally forgotten by Shi Qiu for a while.

He asked Sister Nancy to operate it a little bit, so that the Phantom Thief in the doll state has certain mobility, such as being able to speak a few words, have physical touch, etc.

Shi Qiu was able to bring him out as a symbolic fulfillment of his previous promise to leak the information.

However, after spending some time in the backpack space again, when the thief saw the light of day again, his spirit seemed much more stable than last time.

He would even be able to cleverly restrain the cruelty and indifference in his bones, so that Shi Qiu would at least not be like before, unable to resist the urge to stay away from him when he saw him.

The Phantom Thief is such a being. As long as he wants, he can easily become any kind of likable personality and role, and quietly close the distance.

Shi Qiu watched the changes of the Phantom Thief coldly.

He didn't care how the thief behaved. It was too much of a drain on him and not worth it.

What worried him more was how to complete Sister Nazi's next assessment.

Teleport...

His icy-white telekinetic feedback of instant movement...will it really not cut himself in half?

2.5 In autumn, the crops are really young.

It doesn't sound funny at all, Shi Qiu thought sadly.

…………

…………

Unable to communicate with each other, Shi Qiu and Mises exchanged only a few words before silently stepping aside and watching Pei Zi and Elena talking to each other via Rotom.

Soon, the kings from other regions also rushed over.

"Are you all so idle? From the alliance meeting to now, you don't have to gather every day, right?" Shi Qiu huddled in the corner and asked the person next to him.

This is too crazy.

The people in the box are basically the top people in the world. It might be okay once or twice, but can you really continue to watch a fight of this level?

What are the matters that your king needs to deal with?

Rong Dao, who was also shrinking like Shi Qiu, was trying to ignore the cold looks that Bing Tianwang threw at him from time to time. Hearing this, he replied, "Of course not."

"Except for the first match, the kings will only watch the game here after the top 64 advance."

"Of course, the activities of this exchange will not be limited to here. There will also be gym tours, gorgeous competition guidance, district ranking competitions, and..."

"The King's Challenge?"

Rong Dao hesitated: "I haven't said that yet."

The two fell silent.

Rong Dao was lazy and simply walked behind the boy, letting Shi Qiu block the Ice King's actual sight of ice crystals.

The sinister feeling of coldness and oppression disappeared, and Rong Dao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Let him go, he really can't handle these people.

When he challenged the Four Heavenly Kings, no one said that such strange things would be waiting for him after becoming the king.

Rong Dao yawned and leisurely looked at the young trainers who were following the various superstars, some of whom were successors or rising star talents.

Well, as expected, no one is as good as the kid next to him.

Shi Qiu stood in front of Rong Dao with his back to him, completely unaware that a certain superstar had already compared him to everyone in the audience.

When Rong Dao's aimless gaze fell on the boy's shoulder, something caught his eye and made him frown suddenly.

That is... a white doll?

I didn't pay much attention to it just now.

Although Rong Dao is only in his twenties, he really can't understand the young people's dressing aesthetic.

Just as he was daydreaming, he saw from his peripheral vision that the doll on Shi Qiu's shoulder seemed to turn its head slightly.

Ok?

Rong Dao was stunned.

Under his wandering gaze, the exquisite doll was stuttering and turning its head mechanically.

The high-brimmed top hat and monocles cover the doll's facial features, making them difficult to see clearly. One can only see a strange smile that seems to be sewn into place at the corners of its mouth.

The smile is oozing.

"Hello~"
