Pokémon: Encounter

Chapter 487 I bought a watch last year

When Nan Fang saw Daigo, Mikoli and Kamishiro, the three big guys, walking out the door to greet him, he was stunned.

Is this my last battle, so popular?

However, when Daigo and Mikoli said hello to Nanfang and left in a hurry, Nanfang knew that he had overthought.

"Although we would like to be here to watch this 'eternal battle' between you, unfortunately, time is urgent and there are things we have to do immediately."

"But I'm sorry Nan Fang. In order not to affect your final battle, as good friends, we can't tell you the whole story for now. Wait until we successfully resolve the problem and you successfully win the final victory."

"By then, I will answer all your questions."

"I wish you success in your challenge in advance! Goodbye!"

Looking at Daigo who turned and left with a look of relief on his face, Nanfang had a strange look in his eyes.

ˉ\(°_o)/ˉ?

Confuse?

I don't have any doubts?

Isn’t he just a small chosen worker?

"I guess this person is the one who challenged us to fight the southern part of the frontier this time."

"I've heard previous battle leaders occasionally complain to me, asking where Ahida found this pervert. Now that I see him, he's really extraordinary. Hahaha~"

Nanfang was so confused that he didn't know whether Shendai's words were a compliment or a scolding.

"Today is your last battle."

"I hope we'll have a great match between the two of us. Come with me!"

Shen Dai said, without giving Nan Fang time to react, he took the lead and walked into his own metal pyramid. Nan Fang spread his hands and looked at Yashida. Yashida just made a cheering gesture to Nan Fang.

As the three of them went deeper, Nan Fang discovered that the inside and outside of this battle pyramid looked like two completely different styles.

On the surface, the battle pyramid is pitch black, giving people a deep, cold and heavy feeling. But if you have to describe the interior of the pyramid, it is actually brightly lit like a large scientific research base.

The front desk, lobby, laboratory, rest area, and even the gym and supermarket restaurant are all inside. It seems that this battle leader really flies around all year round as Yujin said, and sometimes he can't be found at all. With such a mobile castle, it would be no problem for Kamishiro to live in the remote mountains all year round.

As they walked, Kamishiro introduced the surrounding facilities to the two of them.

At this time, the three of them had arrived at an exhibition hall.

"Go through this showroom and go forward to the battlefield where we are going to fight." said Kamishiro.

Looking at the dazzling array of collectibles displayed on the platform in front of him, Nan Fang felt deeply moved.

If all of this were put up for auction, the income of Shen Dai would be unimaginable... Nan Fang turned around and thought about every other battle leader he had met before, it seemed that each of them looked like they had no shortage of money.

"Yago!"

Nan Fang quietly nudged Yashida who was beside him.

"If, I just said if."

"If I become the new leader of the Battle Dome, can I also have a flying castle like this?"

"I don't ask for much, just a quarter of it."

Yashida gave him a look like he was an idiot in return.

"Before becoming the leader of the war, Kamishiro was also a world-renowned archaeologist. These things are all his accumulations over many years of his life."

"If possible, I only need one-sixth."

"How about we go and discuss it with him?"

"Damn! Poor uncle! I hope you never get any new people!"

"Fuck! You little bastard! Try calling me uncle again!?"

Ignoring the two people making noise behind him, Kamishiro just smiled slightly, sighing at the beauty of youth in his heart.

【I will give you everything you want. 】

【Help me.】

Ok?

Nan Fang, who was walking at the back, suddenly heard a voice that sounded low and ancient, as if it was lingering in his ears. Nan Fang scratched his head and ignored it.

[I am the legendary Phoenix King. 】

【Help me out of this predicament, and I will give you everything you want. 】

The voice came again, and this time he actually mentioned Phoenix King?

Nan Fang paused for a moment, then turned to look at the display shelf behind him. The sound seemed to come from his left?

【Yes. 】

【I am right here.】

【Take it, and I will grant your wish. 】

Following the sound, Nan Fang walked to a display stand with a Poké Ball on it. From the looks of it, the entire Poké Ball was made of stone.

"Wait! Danger!"

As if he noticed that Nanfang had not kept up with the team, Shendai turned around and found that Nanfang had actually walked in front of the stone ball, and then he hurriedly shouted loudly.

"Uh, sorry, I didn't mean to touch it."

"It's just that this stone Poké Ball...it seems to be talking to me?"

"What!?"

When Kamishiro heard this, he looked a little nervous and ran back immediately.

"Can you hear it calling?"

Nan Fang nodded honestly.

"This stone ball was discovered by me in a ruin half a year ago."

"And that ruin is speculated to be the country of Poklantis, which was once glorious in the world a hundred years ago."

"Legend has it that the Poklantis Empire was once a powerful empire that attempted to use the legendary Pokémon, Ho-Oh, to conquer the world."

"But the actions of the Poklantis Empire angered the Phoenix King, and it was doomed to be destroyed. One day, it suddenly disappeared from history."

"However, it is said that the escaped King Poklantis, in order to seek revenge, sealed the Phoenix King in a stone ball and placed it in the ruins."

"I have studied this for a long time, but have not made any discoveries or progress so far."

"And now, you can actually communicate with it to a certain extent?"

Kamishiro frowned and thought secretly.

"Well...but, forgive me for being blunt, if there is really something sealed in here, it is very likely not the Phoenix King." Nan Fang said softly, pointing at the stone ball.

"What did you say?" Shen Dai was a little unbelievable.

"How should I put it? You may not believe it, but I have indeed seen the Phoenix King. The aura, or the feeling, emanating from this stone ball is not as sacred as the Phoenix King's...?"

"Instead, it gives people a gloomy and dark negative mood."

Nanfang's words made Kamishiro and Ashida drop their jaws in shock.

This is an amazing discovery. Nan Fang has actually seen the Phoenix King? Also, if the object sealed inside this stone ball is not the Phoenix King, then what else could it be?

【nonsense! 】

【I am the Phoenix King! 】

【Let me out now! 】

It seemed that the thing inside the stone ball was too emotional. Now even the two people next to it heard its cry and showed an expression of disbelief.

"Just take a look."

"Even a fool would know that how could the Phoenix King call himself the Phoenix King to others?"

“It’s a synonym for holiness~”

"If it wants to reveal its identity, it can just release a little bit of its own aura. Why is it in such a hurry?"

"It just moves one of its paws and the golden flame will rush towards us like an overwhelming force."

"Well, you may not have seen it, but I think you can imagine it when I describe it this way, right?" Nan Fang asked uncertainly.

Kamishiro:......

Yashida:…….

Stone ball: [......].

"Do you want to know what's inside?" Nan Fang gave a wicked smile of anticipation.

Before they understood the meaning of Nan Fang's words, Shen Dai and the other man watched Nan Fang naturally place his left hand on the stone ball.

"wait...!"

But it was too late.

When Nan Fang just touched the stone ball, a gloomy black energy instantly gushed out from the stone ball, immediately wrapping Nan Fang's body inside.

A powerful aura burst out instantly, causing Kamishiro and Ashida to retreat several meters.

【Light! Come out of the darkness! 】

【Hahahaha! Idiot! 】

[Even though you know the danger, you still want to try to touch the stone ball! ]

[Should I say you are stupid or great!? ]

【Come on! Submit to me! 】

【Then hand over all the Pokémon you have! 】

[I am the overlord of the world! King Poklantis! ]

[This time I will let my empire conquer the whole world! ]

"Oh no! King Poklantis's spirit has possessed Nanfang!"

"It turns out that he did not successfully seal the Phoenix King, but instead sealed his own soul and ambition inside the stone ball!"

"What should I do now!!!"

"Ahem, now you see, this thing is really harmful to ordinary people and has no benefit at all!"

!!!

A voice from the south suddenly sounded, and the two Shindai looked up in surprise.

Although Nan Fang's entire body was now emitting an ominous dark aura, judging from his relaxed expression, it seemed that Nan Fang was still the dominant consciousness in his body.

【This is impossible! 】

【I have completely taken control of your body! 】

[You can’t possibly still have your own consciousness! ]

'South' said to himself angrily with an evil look on his face.

Then Nan Fang immediately put on a carefree expression, "Didn't I say that I have seen the true form of the Phoenix King before? Do you think I just caught a glimpse of it? Come on, I have fought it in a one-on-one duel. Didn't I get nothing? You underestimate me too much!"

Well, the one-on-one thing was fake.

【impossible! 】

[Even if you really saw the Phoenix King! You can't beat it! ]

【You are lying to me! 】

Nan Fang changed his expression again and said with certainty.

"Tsk, I didn't say I won."

"Oh, oh, if you don't believe me, you can go into my consciousness and take a look. It's very lively there now~"

"If you have the ability."

Nan Fang once again put on an indifferent look and shrugged.

From the perspective of Kamijiro and Ashida, Nanfang at this moment is like a split personality, constantly changing his expression and talking to himself. It's inexplicably... funny...

King Poklantis fell silent, half believing and half doubting.

His soul slowly gathered and came into a white space of consciousness.

When he could clearly see the scene in Nanfang's sea of ​​consciousness at this moment, he stood there in a daze. If he had a physical body now, he would definitely have two tears of regret on his face.

Soul Fragment of King Poklantis: I bought a watch last year.

Outside of consciousness.

The dark energy around Nan Fang stagnated for a moment, and then began to slowly dissipate at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Huh~ Done~"

"You want to conquer the world?"

"Just go if you're told to go. You're so stupid, who else will the Phoenix King destroy if he doesn't destroy you~"

After mumbling a few words and feeling the relaxation of his body, Nan Fang casually took the stone ball and threw it into Shen Dai's hands.

"Now it's just an ordinary stone. Well, it should still have some collection value."

"By the way, do you still want it? If not, you can give it to me!"

Looking at the south that had returned to its original state, Kamishiro was stunned for a long time.

"Nonsense!!!"

"Since you know the danger of this thing, why do you still touch it!"

"What happened? How am I going to explain it to your family and friends?"

After recovering from his shock, Shen Dai immediately launched a barrage of attacks at Nan Fang.

Knowing that his actions were indeed somewhat reckless, Nanfang humbly accepted Kamijou's concern.

"I actually...I knew there was something fishy going on the first time I felt him..."

"And I've had some adventures before, and I happened to be able to control this thing... If this thing stays with you, it will be a disaster sooner or later, so..."

"I...I...I actually have a clue in my heart..." Nan Fang retorted weakly.

"you!!!"

Shen Dai didn't know what to say for a moment. After all, Nan Fang had good intentions. But in the eyes of the older generation, Nan Fang's behavior was completely reckless and disregarding his own safety! What if something happened?

After calming down a little, Shendai's words of rebuke to Nanfang gradually became lighter.

Has this kid grown to this point? If it were him, maybe this time he would really...

Yashida, who was standing by, wore sunglasses and silently watched Nanfang nodding and bowing to Kamishiro, making it impossible to tell his expression.

"Anyway! Don't be so rash in doing things next time!"

"Do you want to inform the people around you in advance?!"

"OK! ( ?? w ?? )?!" Nan Fang said seriously.

-

This little episode comes to an end.

The highlight of today is finally here.

With bursts of mechanical sounds, the top of the battle pyramid began to slowly open. The blue sky and bright sunshine shone directly down. A standard battle field appeared in front of several people.

"Okay, this is the final venue where we will decide the winner." Kamishiro walked to the opposite side, where a young man was already standing in the referee's position and had made final preparations.

"The battle rules of the Pyramid Battle are relatively flexible. Normally, when facing ordinary challengers, I usually use a three-on-three or four-on-four battle method."

"However, today's challenger is you."

"south."

"So, how about a six-on-six battle with me?"
