Pokémon: An Encounter with You

Chapter 110 Exchange Conditions

No matter which aspect or field, the road of exploration and research is extremely boring. Even if you use your passion to support it, you still need to relax your body and mind occasionally in your spare time.

After all, someone like Shi Qiu, who carries a simulator like a golden finger with him and has a partner who travels with a first-level god, should be the only one in the world.

Therefore, in daily life, these professors have some evil taste and mischief in them.

"Do you want to go to the new secret place that will appear in Tianxia City?"

"You should have said it earlier! If that's what you want, it's not impossible."

Professor Song stroked his non-existent beard, looking calm and composed.

"But..." The old man stretched out his tone and cast the bait.

Shi Qiu smiled, sitting quietly on the Diaoyutai, unmoved.

He was anxious before. The champion Long Luo didn't have to think about it. The evil king Rong Dao decisively refused. He could only think of the Shuimu research team.

So it's not surprising that he is being led around by a few old foxes.

Now that his brain is back, he has regained his former cleverness.

He did not join in the fun, but just tilted his head forward slightly, pretending to be listening attentively.

Professor Song Zhixiao: Tsk, what a pity, this kid has taken a wrong turn.

"As long as you transfer to another school... ahem, not..."

Facing Shi Qiu's eyes that were full of doubt, surprise, and confusion, Professor Song coughed twice and calmly reorganized his words.

"...In the next two years... no, in the next year, you will come to Shuimu as an exchange student for two semesters. Then we old guys will add you to our research team."

"How about it?"

Genius belongs to everyone. Since you, Kyoto University and Iku University, can get involved, I, Mizuki, can't be left behind.

One quarter of Shi Qiu must belong entirely to our school.

I'm sorry, Rong Dao Tian Wang. Shi Qiu thought to himself and decisively agreed to the exchange.

This not only did not mean any loss to him, but was also another kind of profit.

But he doesn't seem very friendly to Rong Dao.

According to big sister Rong Yue, Rong Dao didn't get along well with Long Luo, who was from Shuimu, when he was young, so he had a bit of hatred for Shuimu.

After achieving the throne of the king, he became closely tied to Kyoto University, and was more competitive than cooperative with Kyoto University's old rival Mizuki.

Even if they jointly recruited Shi Qiu with Yuda, they still had to snatch him from Shuimuwan, which is evident from the fact that.

so now......

Shi Qiu put the evil king out of his mind and very obediently closed the distance between him and the professor: "Teacher Song, when will the secret realm come?"

"It's very close, probably less than a month."

The one who answered him was Professor Sequoia, who was still searching for something on Rotom.

"According to convention, the research team will enter the secret realm three days after it is opened."

"The first three days are for regional alliance trainers to enter. They will explore and eliminate the dangers at the entrance to the secret realm."

Shi Qiu asked: "Won't there be professional researchers following?"

"There will be one or two accompanying the team," Professor Song replied, "mainly to provide technical and theoretical support to the forward players."

"But don't even think about it. The risk of joining the research team is extremely high, five to ten times higher than the usual exploration of secret realms. We can't possibly let you go."

"Those who can accompany us are all senior elites. Even so, there will still be casualties."

Professor Song paused, his expression becoming serious: "Speaking of the issue of casualties, I have to ask you again."

"Are you sure you want to explore the secrets here?"

"Even if they go with us, and there may even be gym leaders or even kings accompanying them for protection, the danger is still there, and it's not small."

"Although I support the idea that geniuses should appropriately experience dangerous trials, when it comes to personal safety, you must consider it carefully..."

Song Zhixiao's tone was serious, but it was full of concern and care for Shi Qiu.

"I'm sure." Shi Qiu nodded seriously and calmly.

Inside the simulator forest.

"If there is still some time before the exploration of the secret realm..."

Shi Qiu was reading the news about Tianxia City and greeting Riolu who was training hard.

"In a few days, Tianxia City will host a gorgeous competition."

"Ice Vulpix and Bubble Squirrel have both participated with me. Is Riolu interested?"

"(If it's with Shi Qiu, I'd love to!)" Riolu said.

Ever since he resolved his emotional issues, he has been turning more and more towards Zeraora.

In daily life, he is still silent and reliable, but he always says with all his heart: I want to be with Shi Qiu forever, and so on.

But Riolu should be... the introverted type? He knows a lot, and he's not like Zeraora, that straightforward and naive little fool who didn't even notice that Aledo had quietly snatched the boy's attention away.

Shi Qiu thought about it and coughed twice because of choking.

......

Just as they were discussing the gorgeous competition, N suddenly came over.

“You’re here?”

Shi Qiu nodded, expressing his doubt with his eyes.

N seldom took the initiative to look for him. He was mysterious all day long, either hiding in the forest or staying in the wooden house, just like an NPC that would refresh at a fixed point.

It was only after I talked to him about the thesis a few days ago that the green-haired young man would occasionally take the ticket to the new world.

"I haven't explored here for a long time, and I just discovered that there seems to be a secret area connected to the sea." said the young man.

Shi Qiu sat up straight.

N's gray-green pupils casually swept across the boy's expression, and he kept talking.

"There is a large island not far from the beach."

"It...either he or He, gave me a very strange feeling..."

“Have you explored yet?”

Shi Qiu nodded and replied, "We have explored it. There is no danger."

N nodded and said gently, "That's good."

After the young man finished speaking, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he leaned gently against the tree and looked at the boy quietly.

Shi Qiu didn't say anything else and just quietly held Riolu in his arms, seemingly searching for information about the Tianxia City Gorgeous Competition.

…………

The two people and the elf fell into an inexplicably long silence.
