Pokémon: An Encounter with You

Chapter 127 Golden

"Come on, let's go down. The Foam Squirrels are waiting anxiously."

Zeraora nodded, the electromagnetic control dissipated, and he jumped down from the air holding Shi Qiu.

They chose a new path and continued forward.

"There is still no one here." Shi Qiu looked at the deserted shop. It was just like Town A, except that the surface was covered with a layer of dust, while the space inside was spotless.

"Is there any life feedback?" Shi Qiu asked Riolu and Zeraora.

To his surprise, Riolu and Zeraora nodded affirmatively almost at the same time.

"(There is feedback!)"*2

Riolu opened his eyes and withdrew from the waveguide vision that was concentrating on him: "(In front of us, there is an extremely strong life waveguide.)"

Zeraora nodded and added: "(At the same time, it has a very strong energy level.)"

Shi Qiu frowned: "Is it an elf living in the city?"

"(No, it's a human.)" Zeraora whispered.

coming!

Shi Qiu cheered up.

The ranger in a-1, N in a-2, and this NPC and a human native appeared in three areas named a.

Three secret realms have appeared in the area named B: the B-1 area sea area, the underwater temple and the B city.

Well, according to simulator convention, it is indeed time for a new character to appear.

"Go and have a look."

Under the guidance of Riolu and Zeraora, they walked to the gym in City B.

Shi Qiu looked at the gorgeous decoration style of the gym. From the outside, it was made up of many tent-like ceilings.

It seems that this NPC or native is a gym leader.

Unfortunately, he couldn't remember which gym this was.

They walked to the door and the automatic sensor door seemed to have normal power supply and functioned normally.

Different from the silvery-white tones outside, the interior decoration of the gym is more bizarre than luxurious.

Purple, green, golden yellow, and light pink.

The tones are totally inharmonious, the various colors are mixed and conflicting, but this gives people a special sense of weirdness, so it can even be considered beautiful.

When Qiu looked up and saw the gym badge on the purple wall, he guessed its true identity in an instant.

Very simple pattern with concentric circles in golden hues.

Kanto region, Golden Gym.

......

If that's the case, then this human with a powerful energy level...

"I've been waiting for you for a long time." A cold female voice appeared, but it seemed a little distorted and did not sound like a human voice.

"welcome."

Shi Qiu and the elves looked in the direction of the sound.

She is a young girl with long dark green hair, cold eyebrows and eyes, and a pretty and delicate appearance.

Her hands released light green energy and her whole body floated in the air.

It’s the Golden Gym Leader, Nancy.

"Hello, Miss Nazi. I apologize for my intrusive visit."

Shi Qiu reacted quickly and nodded slightly to the girl.

Nazi nodded: "Don't worry, I predicted your appearance."

"A young man with a strong affinity, and the phantom spirit Zeraora."

......

Nancy is a popular character who appeared in the first generation of Pokémon. She has appeared until the seventh generation, which shows her popularity.

The Gym Master of the Golden Gym, a Pokémon who is proficient in psychic attributes and is in charge of the golden badge.

However, the elf aspect is not the focus; Nancy’s characteristic lies in herself.

An existence at the top of the pyramid of super-powered people in the world.

Whether it's basic superpowers like telekinesis, advanced superpowers like predicting the future, or unique abilities like catalyzing the evolution of elves and forcibly turning humans into rag dolls, she can use them with ease.

She is a high-risk person who is no less dangerous than N.

However, judging from our first meeting, her personality is more towards the late stage of the game. She is the opposite of N, who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside.

Shi Qiu vaguely remembered that she seemed to also have the identity of a film and television star.

"Is there anything you need from me?" Shi Qiu asked tentatively.

Unlike before when he was completely unprepared when he met N, he now had enough confidence and trump cards and was not too worried about safety issues.

Nazi shook her head, her expression remained indifferent: "Guests from outside the world, it's not about what I need, but what you want."

Shi Qiu was silent.

Seeing that Shi Qiu was a little hesitant for a moment, Nazi said:

“You can ask any questions you want to know, whether you know it or not, whether it is right or wrong, I will give you my answer.”

Is Nancy's attitude towards him too nice? Shi Qiu wondered.

Even though Naz is cold on the outside but warm on the inside, that is her character that she only reveals after getting to know you, rather than showing great kindness upon first meeting you.

Shi Qiu's hesitation was not actually due to fear, but rather to his consideration of whether Nancy was a rigid NPC like the ranger, or a real person like N.

In this case...

“Do you have the ability to think independently?”

After a while, he asked a more tactful question to test the waters.

Well, that's not a euphemism, it's even presumptuous.

Nazi didn't show any obvious emotion, she just glanced at him and said, "Yes, I have the ability to think independently, you can rest assured."

That's good.

"Excuse me, is this Golden City?"

"Yes, to be precise, it is the part of Golden City that was preserved after the destruction of the world, drifting in the form of a secret place."

"So, there is no iconic location like the Silver Headquarters Building..." Shi Qiu nodded and asked, "What about the other humans in this city?"

Hearing this question, Nazi paused for a moment before continuing to answer:

"The world is collapsing. Even though it is said that the gods have used secret methods to preserve the fragments of the world, the energy generated after the collapse is not something that all humans can withstand."

"The vast majority of ordinary humans, including some weak elves, disappeared along with the wind the moment the world shattered."

When the gods made the decision to shatter the back side of the world so that it could survive, most humans were unaware except for a few trainers who were close to them.

Even the Pokémon League was unaware of this.

When natural disasters occur and legends run wild for unknown reasons, humans' power is too weak and is not worth mentioning in front of gods.

For most ordinary people, in their eyes, a sunny day suddenly turns into the end of the world. Before they can react, the world has already collapsed.

It took only one year from the doomsday to the end of the rampage.

Shi Qiu received the information transmitted by Nancy through her superpowers.

The questions that have arisen since the time I met N have finally been answered today.

Shi Qiu was mentally prepared, but he was still shaken by the cruelty and tragedy that Nazhi described so lightly.

He remembered the questions N had asked him, and the riddles that N had asked him, from the original Ivory Pig to the Washing Turtle Zoroark to Zekrom.

When he logged into the map today, the simulator called him that.

Shi Qiu asked: "I am special, right? Then what role do I play, the savior..."

"Can you tell me what you can see in me?"

"...I am not an expert at predicting the future. Right now, I cannot see what our future will be like."

Nazi's eyes glowed blue, and her slender fingertips fiddled with something in front of her: "You may be special. I can only sense the fusion of various special abilities in your body."

"The power of waves, the power of forests, the power of the ocean, affinity..."

Hearing this, Shi Qiu frowned.

The power of the ocean? Was it the effect of the [Ocean Singer] costume, or was it the golden light infused into him by the secret treasure of the Undersea Temple, the Crown of the Sea?

"It's unusual to have more than four or five abilities in one person."

Nancy controlled several balls of light in front of the boy and demonstrated it to him.

"Stacking abilities is not a good thing. Too much will cause the energy in the body to collide, leading to a rampage."

"Even the elves are like this. No elf can have more than two essential attributes."

"But you are different. Your energies are mutually generated and harmonious." Nazi waved her hand and the ball of light disappeared. "In this way, you should be special."

Shi Qiu fell into deep thought as he heard these words, and Nazi waited quietly.

One minute later.

"last question."

"You are a little too friendly to me. May I know why? Is it just because of my special ability?"

He didn't quite believe that Nancy would give him such special care just because he had multiple abilities.

The energy ball representing superpowers in Nancy's hand suddenly rose up, and then the entire land, the preserved part of the golden city, seemed to emit a faint hum.

It seemed to be responding to Nazi, and also seemed to be greeting Shi Qiu.

"When you set foot on this remnant land, it chose to establish a connection with you."

“That’s the most important reason.”

"The rest is not important."

At this point, Nazi's expression no longer looked so cold:

"So Shi Qiu..."

"Just do what you want to do."
